Background on the Scholarships
Please read about the named scholarships here.
Flow Chart
A simplified flow chart of the process described in detail is available in a clickable PDF available for viewing or download. It will make sense to you after reading this page.
Applications for 2014 are not yet open.
All required forms described below (with links) also may be accessed in pages as submenus under the "Scholarship/Scholarship Application Instructions" main menu item.
As soon as the competition is open, complete steps one and two in the Process section below.
Deadline for uploading your portfolio is March 2 at 11:59 p.m., eastern time.
Applicants must:
- Be currently enrolled full-time in an accredited four-year college or university in the U.S. or Canada or have been accepted at a four-year institution to complete suspended studies.
- Provide evidence of an aptitude for photojournalism as well as academic ability and financial need.
- Provide grade point average as an indication that applicant can successfully complete college studies.
- Explain financial need.
- Use the scholarship at the beginning of the next semester. Otherwise, it will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate candidate.
A letter of recommendation from a faculty member who knows your work is required. Instructions for faculty are found here.
- You will create an account on this website.
- using your account, log into the website and Fill out the 2014 Application Form. When you press "Submit" for this form, you will automatically be taken to a page where you will download a zip file, that when unzipped has a system of folders to organize your portfolio. This application page may be edited later. You can update the information in the form at any time.
- Prepare your portfolio, with the required folder structure, re-zip the file and upload it by the competition deadline.
Steps one and two may be completed well ahead of the deadline and until the "Submit" button in step two is pressed, your faculty member cannot submit your required recommendation. So if you intend to prepare a portfolio, do steps one and two as soon as possible. Both your registration form and application form may be edited at a future time after you log in. After initial submission, the "Submit" button is replaced by an "Update" button.
Organizing your Portfolio Materials
Portfolios must be prepared in a specific folder system. The folder structure and specific instructions are found in the Portfolio Submission page.
You may enter up to 10 total entries. A entry is defined as a single picture, a multiple picture story, a multimedia story, or a website link at which you have done significant interactive programming or design.
- You enter 5 single pictures, 2 multiple picture stories and 3 multimedia stories.
- You enter 0 single pictures, 5 multiple picture stories, 1 website and 3 multimedia stories.
- You enter 0 single pictures, 0 multiple picture stories and 10 multimedia stories.
All three scenarios above total 10 items. You have great flexibility in your portfolio. A logical way to construct your portfolio is to select your multiple picture stories and multimedia stories you want to enter and if less than 10, make up the difference with great single pictures.
There is a major shift this year in flexibility in how you present your work. Further, we have added the possibility of entering innovative website features that contribute to storytelling.
Judges suggest that you have at least 1 multiple picture story and 1 multimedia or video story. If your desired career is television or multimedia journalist, judges advise you to have a minimum of 3 multimedia or video stories.
Multiple picture stories have a minimum of two pictures and a maximum of 10 pictures.
All multimedia entries, including videos, are supplied as links to where they live on the Internet. The URL links must take the judges directly to the video or other form of multimedia, not to a personal home page where judges must select other menu items or links to get to the story. Popular places for videos are YouTube or Vimeo for stand alone videos outside of a news website such a student media site. Any Internet URL is fine as long as it takes judges directly to the story. You also need to supply a jpg thumbnail (250 px wide) for each video or multimedia entry.
Note that the judges unanimously feel that portfolios that do not include at least one multimedia entry will not be competitive. Multimedia is defined as video and/or photos combined with edited audio, in any format, slide shows and interactive pieces. A multimedia story with only a music track doesn't count. You must have originally gathered sound that helps tell the story.
What do I Need Before Entering?
You will need your faculty advisor's contact information: name, phone and e‐mail. Since faculty often have more than one email address, ask which one is preferred. When you complete your application, an automatic email is sent to that address so make sure you enter it correctly. Likewise ask for a preferred phone number.
Contact a faculty member who knows your work for permission to list her/him as willing to write a recommendation. That recommendation also is submitted on this website and cannot be done until you complete step two above. When you do complete step two, an automatic email will be sent to your faculty recommender with a link to submit your recommendation. Be sure to followup with the faculty member to ensure that email was received and has not be diverted by a spam filter. That email is sent when you complete step two in Process. Accurate faculty information is very important. We sometimes need the assistance of the faculty member to help us locate a winner.
Be sure to make the faculty member is aware of faculty specific instructions in pages as submenus under the "Scholarship/Scholarship Application Instructions" main menu item.
There are three short essays you may wish to prepare ahead of completing step two so that you can copy and paste the text into the boxes provided in the form. These items are:
- List your academic and journalistic accomplishments.
- Explain your need for a scholarship. Be specific.
- Briefly state your goals in visual journalism.
You will need to know your overall GPA and the point system it is based on. For example, your entry might be "3.5 on a 4-‐point system." You will also need your GPA of courses within your major. If you don't know how to calculate your GPA within your major, ask your campus registrar.
You will need a screen snap of your multimedia entries, which will be used to create a thumbnail for your entry. Both Windows and Macs allow this. Click on your desktop and use the "Help" menu to search for "screen snap" or "screen grab." For Macs:
- To take a picture of part of your screen:
- Press [command]+[shift]+[4] (depending on your keyboard, the Command key may have a cloverleaf or apple on it instead of the word 'command'.)
- Click at a corner of the area you want to capture, drag the pointer across the area, and release the mouse button.
- Use image editing software to convert the PNG format screen grab to a JPG format at 250 px in the longest dimension. You will upload these thumbnails in step two in Process.
- Organize your multiple picture stories into the folder structure provided. Organize your stills into the folder provided. Download the folder structure here if you haven't already. Read the README files after you unzip the file.
- Open direct links to your multimedia entries in browser windows so that the URL may be copied and pasted into the portfolio submission form. This will prevent typos. Be sure to NOT password protect your videos.
Preparing Pictures
Each picture should be less than 2 MB in size, and at least 700 pixels on the long side (1350-‐2000 pixels at 72 DPI preferred). All pictures must be in the jpg format at quality 8 or 80 depending on the scale of 10 or 100 respectively. All pictures must have IPTC captions.
Preparing Video Stories or other Multimedia Stories
All video stories must be available for viewing on the internet and have a public link to them. In the entry form there will be places to enter a URL and to describe your role in the story since many multimedia stories are produced by a team. If the story is not already on a news site, Youtube or Vimeo are popular places to link to a story. You will also need a thumbnail jpg, which we use as a link to your URL for the judges. Make the thumbnail 250 px wide, in jpg format.
While you do not have to be a member of NPPA to enter, you must adhere to the principles of the NPPA code of ethics. Please read the code prior to submitting your application.
How to Enter
Note. The call for entries is in January of each year. There will be a notice on this website when applications are open.

Located between Bresse, Dombes and Revermont, the town of Bourg-en-Bresse, capital of Ain, is famous for Brou Royal Monastery, whose beauty is a masterpiece of flamboyant gothic art. As well as this architectural gem there is a remarkable municipal museum, containing splendid collections of French, Flemish and Italian art from the 15th to the 20th century.
But the heritage of Bourg-en-Bresse does not stop there! At its historical centre, Bourg-en-Bresse has many reminders of its rich past. Old timber-framed residences of the 15th and 16th centuries, such as the Gorrevod House and the Hugon House for example, 18th-century mansions such as the Marron de Meillonnas mansion, the Jacobins Door - a relic of an old monastery - and the Cathedral of Our Lady, built in the Renaissance style (outside) and flamboyant gothic style (inside), with its stained glass windows and stalls dating from the 16th century, can all be seen on a tour of the old quarters. The 18th-century Hôtel-Dieu apothecary is also worth a trip for its laboratory, dispensary with superb wood panelling, and collection of ceramic pots.
2 kilometres from the town centre, Bouvent Leisure Park welcomes fans of water sports and relaxation, with its 21-hectare lake, beach (supervised bathing in summer), water sports centre, walking circuits, golf course and fishing corner.
A big food market takes place on Place du Champ de Foire every Wednesday and Saturday morning.
The Glorieuses de Bresse, a famous fine poultry contest that celebrates Bresse poultry, has been taking place each year in mid-December since 1862.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

A class-action lawsuit accuses Kerzner International of engaging in "unfair and deceptive practices" by charging certain fees to guests at its Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, the local Tribune Business reports.
The suit, filed by Jennifer Costa on June 30, seeks to represent guests who stayed at the Atlantis resort, including The Cove and The Reef, from March 28, 2007 onward. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Florida.
RESORT FEES: Worse than paying fees for Wi-Fi?
RESORT FEES: Marie Osmond joins Vegas Strip to protest fees
TWITTER: Follow Hotel Check-In's BarbDelollis
Suit: 'Housekeeping fee' is deceptive
At the heart of the Atlantis suit is the "mandatory housekeeping gratuity and utility service fee" that Atlantis guests pay, Tribune Business reports.
Costa claims the "mandatory fee" is deceptive because Kerzner International doesn't give all of it to either housekeeping staff or to cover utility fees. The suit says:
"By labeling the gratuity and utility charge something that it is not, Kerzner is deceiving consumers into paying more for their hotel room than they bargained."
PHOTO GALLERY: See the Bellagio Las Vegas hotel's newly redone rooms
PHOTO GALLERY: A tour of Top 10 dog friendly hotels in USA
NEW ORLEANS: Hyatt to open hotel in the French Quarter
Atlantis: We don't retain the fees
Kerzner International disputes the lawsuit's allegations.
In a statement to Hotel Check-In, the company says:
"Contrary to the allegations and implications of this lawsuit, Kerzner does not retain as profit any portion of the mandatory housekeeping or utility service fees and we will continue to vigorously defend these allegations."
The case is currently set for trial in the Florida courts in December.
According to a report by Hospitality Business News, most hotel workers in The Bahamas are covered by a union agreement, and under the agreement, hotels collect a daily gratuity for housekeepers, making it mandatory. Some of the money is set aside in a "common pool" for other hotel employees, the story says.
"The energy surcharge, however," the piece continues, "is an additional charge added by the hotel at their sole discretion."

Dairy Queen: A Social Media Case Study, To Go.
- 6 Comments... What do you have to say?
Dairy Queen is the American chain of ice cream parlours. I have been reading a great case study about the company's use of social media, over at Michael Fruchter's Social Media Marketing Strategies blog. Michael is a digital strategist with Pierson Grant, a PR firm across the pond.
It is all too easy, when you cast your eye over these lavish descriptions of big bucks companies and their tip top achievements online, to overlook the potential "learns" and benefits for companies of all sizes. If you read this particular case study in full – and I recommend that you do - you will find plenty to pore over. You will also note that Dairy Queen, despite its size, hasn't been "doing" social media for long. Its corporate blog, for example, is just five months old at the time of writing.
Let's take a closer look at what Dairy Queen has been doing. Nothing here is going to blow your mind – and I mean that as a compliment! Forget the budget; forget the bells and whistles. Ultimately this is a strategy that draws upon straightforward, considered tactics to generate brand awareness, engagement – and lashings of goodwill.
1. Dairy Queen Blog.
- Launched February 2009.
- Contributors: seven Dairy Queen employees, including the company's Chief Branding Officer.
- Aims: "to ignite conversation and have fun with a brand that has been around for more than 70 years".
- Has already attracted more than 50,000 visitors and 560 comments, according to Michael.
I like this blog. It is easy to navigate, is regularly updated and has a personal feel – just look at the header. So many corporate blogs have the company logos stuck in the header and come off bland and dull, because they don't have any "faces". The content here includes podcasts and video clips – one clip features Warren Buffett in a local DQ, talking shop with girl scouts – and in general, strikes a good note. It stays on-message, without shoving that message in your face. Contributors are willing to share personal stories (with a DQ twist, of course).
I note that the seven employees are all based in Dairy Queen's communications department. I would be interested to hear less from comms, and more from the counter and from employees in other areas such as R&D. I also notice that on average, posting takes place once per week. More frequent posting would help develop rapport between visitors and bloggers, and would also encourage Google to crawl the site more frequently (which helps to boost search engine rankings). Overall though, it looks good to me.
What is most impressive about the blog is the traffic and engagement (comments) that it has attracted in just five months. I would like to learn more about the blog marketing methods that have been put to good use here. What we are told sounds good: in addition to Dairy Queen's Twitter account, the PR team behind this venture reached out to other bloggers by devising a creative competition. Bloggers were asked to write about the "sweet deals" they would make, in order to try the chain's new Sweet Deals menu for free. The tasty prize: free Sweet Deals every week for a year.
2. Facebook.
- Official Dairy Queen fan page launched in May 2008.
- At the time of writing, 163,112 fans.
The Facebook page doesn't sit there, gathering dust. In the past week the page has been updated several times. Events, initiatives and products launches are publicised, as are video clips and blog posts. Fans are encouraged to contribute their own thoughts and images. It's an active page; no wonder that several hundred new fans join daily.
3. Twitter.
- Dairy Queen Twitter account launched in February 2009.
- 2,013 followers at the time of writing.
The Dairy Queen employee tasked with the company's Twitter account does a good job of it, in my opinion. He tweets a few times a day, answering customer queries, conversing with customers, linking to new blog posts and publicising Dairy Queen initiatives. The follower count is relatively low, compared to the level of fandom that has saturated the blog and the Facebook page, but this Twitter account hasn't been running at full steam for very long and does not appear to be underpinned by an aggressive, follower-grabbing strategy. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; when it comes to Twitter followers, quality trumps quantity.
3. Pending.
- Mobile. A new app has been developed, to enable iPhone and iPod users to locate their nearest Dairy Queen store. Mobile apps can swallow a significant slice of a marketing & PR budget, but this one is fairly simple and straightforward. No flashy gimmicks here! Instead it does what it says on the tin, connecting people with branches of DQ.
- FriendFeed. This is a real-time feed aggregrator; users can stream all their social media content – their tweets, their latest photos on Flickr, their latest blog posts and so on – onto one page. Users can also customise their feeds, and comment on one another's items. Dairy Queen's FriendFeed account has 22 followers and streams the company's updates from the blog, Twitter and YouTube. However, Michael suggests that Dairy Queen's presence here may be developed further. As he notes: "It's a passionate community of users who conversate around the content. FriendFeeders are also Dairy Queen customers, so it's only fitting that Dairy Queen joins the conversation."
That Dairy Queen has made such strides, within a relatively short space of time, shows how a simple social media strategy can also be a solid one, irrespective of a company's size.
As Michael concludes: "[Dairy Queen] got off to a late start with social media, but that's irrelevant, what's relevant is that they recognized it, embraced it, understand it and use it."

Great post! found your blog through google alerts for business networking. I think that is fascinating how they exploded like that so quick. I wonder how many PR reps they had pushing their campaign….but you hit it on the head when you referenced how they used the competitive creationism for blowing their site up. I am trying to do something similair with a site that I just launched this week. Its called http://www.how2talk2.com and it is a reference site for how to talk to almost anyone about anything but I want prominent bloggers to have a place where they can tell the world the best way to talk to them. If you're interested in having a post about you and your blog(s) just let me know.
Joel Turner said on September 7th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
This is an interesting case study because Dairy Queen haven't done anything particularly revolutionary or interesting but have still made a success of their blog/social media activities.
I think in that respect it is a great example of the desire people have to communicate with brands. Gimmickry can often overshadow the simple desire of consumers to have a conversation with trusted companies, or understand more about them. That said, as Dairy Queen's social media strategy does a great job of giving the company a human face I agree it would benefit from letting ordinary employees have their say, not just the comms team.
I quite fancy an ice cream now…
Sarah Hone said on September 14th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
You're right Karyn – Dairy Queen look like they are doing everything right. Just shows what you can do with a a bit a collective creativity, although I think having an iconic brand like Dairy Queen to shout about probably helps. I want one of those ice cream cone whistles!!
Tom said on January 8th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Elegantly simple case study- love it.
For me the key insight is that, as you point out, the framework of this campaign is straight forward to implement on any scale and simply relies on integrity of message and intent. That should make this kind of campaign very saleable to decision makers looking to broaden the reach of tired old-school PR programs, or even just to supplement them and bring them into the 21st century.
Inspiring to anyone who knows that this is one of a growing list of examples of how people will identify with brands in the future.

How your social media usage affects customers (and how theirs affects you) « Casey Shaw's Blog said on October 2nd, 2009 at 6:02 pm
[...] Dairy Queen is a particularly good example of a company that uses several different social media platforms to engage and build relationships with their customers. The company has a blog entitled "Creating Smiles and Stories" that was launched in February 2009. Several employees at the company contribute to the blog, including Dairy Queen's Chief Branding Officer. The blog is an easy to navigate outlet for the contributors to upload videos and podcasts, and to post personal stories, all while subtly advertising their product. [...]

In order to train future practitioners of radiation oncology, we provide a comprehensive educational experience that will expose residents to all aspects of radiation oncology. We have designed a curriculum that is innovative, individualized and integrative. The residency experience entails clinical rotations, didactics (graduate level courses and several weekly conferences and tumor boards) dedicated research time, and pathways that allow residents to specialize and focus on areas of interest within the specialty. Residents finish the program with a deep understanding of cancer including the biology, pathology, natural history, work-up and treatment approaches with radiation therapy, surgery and chemotherapy. Residents become competent in the delivery of radiation therapy including techniques of external beam radiotherapy as well as interstitial and intracavitary radiotherapy. Through a variety of experiences and resources available, residents become well prepared for their board examinations.

City staff is replacing the Audio/Visual equipment in Citizens Meeting Room in Centennial Hall. The Information Systems team uses these systems to provide in-room, televised and telephonic transmission of live and recorded City Council, Board and Commission meetings along with other content of Public, Educational and Governmental interest.
Much of this equipment has been operating since initial installation in the year 2000. The Information Systems team has closed the room, begun removal of old equipment and estimates the new systems will be operational by August 27th. This will affect the City Council meeting on Tuesday August 20th. During this meeting there will not be the usual live viewings on TV 6 or the City's website. The public may call in to listen to the meeting by dialing 970-871-7098. The meeting will be recorded to show at a later date, and the new system is anticipated to be in place for the next Council meeting on September 3rd.
Mike Schmidt – Information Systems Manager, said these improvements to the 13 year old system have been planned since February of this year, and are very much needed due to the age of the equipment, frequency of failures, and increasing challenges to maintain.

I used to blog fairly regularly, but lately have found myself interacting mostly on Facebook. The problem with Facebook is that it's hard to find things that are a bit older, and formatting and especially typography is also rather limited.
So I have started this blog, and will here collect:
- posts from my previous blog that now, months or years later, seem worth preserving
- Facebook posts that seem worth preserving
- the occasional post that will only appear here.
This is, as you can see, the English version. As time and energy permits there may also be a German version sometime.
My previous blog is still available at wnp.doulos.at but will no longer be updated.
Mein bisheriger Blog, inklusive deutscher Einträge, ist nach wie vor unter wnp.doulos.at zu finden, wird aber nicht mehr aktualisiert.

Lindisfarne: The story of the legendary Geordie band in words and music
It's ten years since legendary Tyneside group, LINDISFARNE, closed a remarkable 33 year music career.
Their best-selling album, Fog on the Tyne, took them to the top of the UK charts, and songs like Run For Home and Meet Me On the Corner have helped place them in people's hearts as one of the region's best-loved bands.
In this joyful celebration, touring the UK and Ireland through to 2015, ex-members Ray Laidlaw and Billy Mitchell perform many of the band's classic songs. They tell the inside story of Lindisfarne's rise to fame, their concert tours, recording sessions, festival, radio & TV appearances and tales from behind the scenes.
Ray Laidlaw:
'I was a member of Lindisfarne from its conception and loved nearly every minute of it.
Billy and I have been bosom buddies since 1966, so he has the inside track on Lindisfarne from the formative days 'till the end of the Mk.3 line-up in 2003.
He & I first made music together in our mid-teens when he was a frequent guest vocalist in Downtown Faction, featuring future Lindisfarne members Simon Cowe, Rod Clements & I. Other commitments meant he had to decline our requests for him to join on a permanent basis. The search for a front-man continued until Ray Jackson joined us, followed shortly afterwards by Alan Hull. The line-up was complete, and Lindisfarne began.
Billy witnessed our successes from the sidelines and in 1972, when Alan Hull considered quitting touring to become Lindisfarne's behind-the-scenes songwriter in 1972, we approached him to join us. It didn't happen - the original band split in two and Lindisfarne Mk.2 and Jack the Lad emerged from the ashes.
Throughout the 1980s, Billy played in Pacamax, a Lindisfarne offshoot with Alan, Rod and I. He frequently toured with us as support artiste, and following Alan's tragic death in 1995, he joined the Mk.3 version of Lindisfarne.
The Lindisfarne Story is the result of fifty years of friendship and musical collaboration. It tells the tale of a bunch of Geordie lads with a dream. There's a lot of laughs, a few tears and a barrowload of fantastic music. Best of all for me, I don't have to carry a great big drumkit.'

What is acid reflux?
- Q: What is acid reflux?
- A: Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid, made by the cells of the stomach, backs up through the place in the body where the esophagus and stomach meet. Acid reflux can cause bothersome symptoms, such as heartburn. There are various foods that can potentially cause acid reflux and heartburn including coffee, spicy foods, chocolate, fried or fatty foods and alcohol.

Sundance 2014 Review: 'Cooties' Is Well Worth Catching For Fans of Laughter and DismembermentMovie Reviews By Rob Hunter on January 19, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Kids. You can't live with them, and you can't bash their head in with a fire extinguisher. But what this movie presupposes is… maybe you can. In fact, sometimes you have to if you want to live. Clint (Elijah Wood) is starting his first day as a substitute teacher, but in his mind it's only a temporary way station on the way to the bestseller lists. Sure he's living back at home and drives a beaten up Prius with "Eat my cock" scrawled into the dusty grime, but if he can just nail his horror novel's opening line ("The boat was evil…") he'll be on his way. But when an outbreak infects the kids and turns them into little carnivorous bastards, Clint and a gaggle of other teachers are forced into the second biggest fight of their lives (after trying to survive on teacher salary and lack of respect). Cooties is horror comedy done right. It's laugh out loud funny but never shies away from the gory, violent bits involving adults and children. See it with a child you love.
'Snowpiercer' Stills and Concept Art Offer a Glimmer of Hope While Waiting For the Film's ReleaseMovie News By Samantha Wilson on August 20, 2013 | Comments (2)
While it's still unclear when the U.S. will be able to see Bong Joon-Ho's Snowpiercer, which is still enjoying a record-breaking run in South Korea, we can all wait and twiddle our thumbs while the Weinstein Company trims and re-edits the movie and occupy ourselves with these new stills and gorgeous concept art. Many of the photos take us inside the grimy train where people huddle in the dark – but Tilda Swinton almost looks stately in her bug glasses and fur coat. In sharp contrast to the train, Alison Pill appears to rule over a bright, cheery classroom as the grooviest schoolteacher in an otherwise desolate landscape. I'd like to think that shot of the man in the suit looking puzzled is a direct reaction to watching her dance. The concept art shows beautifully inked images of the train and its insides, and perhaps glimpses of scenes that we haven't been shown yet. And hopefully, that won't get cut in the "new and improved" version of the film that we may get thrust upon us. Hopefully, these images will be enough to tide you over for awhile, because it doesn't look like we'll be seeing Snowpiercer until early next year, so take a look after the break.
LAFF 2012: Inside 'The Newsroom' With Aaron SorkinFeatures By Allison Loring on June 24, 2012 | Comments (3)
Please read this article with caution as it does contain plot details that some may consider spoilers for the first episode of HBO's The Newsroom. After screening the pilot episode ("We Just Decided To") of Aaron Sorkin's new show The Newsroom, the Los Angeles Film Festival audience was treated to a Q&A session which featured Sorkin himself along with executive producer Alan Poul, director Greg Mottola, and moderated by Madeleine Brand (The Madeleine Brand Show.) Anyone who has attended a Sorkin Q&A (or seen the man speak) knows that it is the equivalent of being shot out of a cannon. Sorkin's signature fast-talk does not just live on the pages he writes, it is also how Sorkin speaks himself. It was clear that whatever Sorkin and Brand had spoken about prior to coming into the theater had left them both riled up. Brand (much like the Northwestern professor does to Jeff Daniels' character, Will McAvoy, in the first scene of the premiere episode) refused to let Sorkin get away with non-answers or quips. Brand continuously pushed him until Sorkin, the man of a million words, let out an exasperated breath… and then jumped right back in.
LAFF 2012 Review: 'To Rome With Love' Is Woody Allen's Low-Key and Somewhat Successful Foray Into 'Valentine's Day' TerritoryFilm Festivals By Kate Erbland on June 15, 2012 | Comments (1)
Perhaps we were spoiled with last year's Midnight in Paris, auteur Woody Allen's return to (delightful) form after a few years of basically forgettable, minor efforts like Whatever Works, Scoop, Cassandra's Dream, and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. Suffice to say, Allen's next cinematic trip to a classic, romantic European city has come complete with heightened expectations, and while his To Rome With Love occasionally harnesses some of the charm and ease of Paris, it's a wholly different film experience, and a less enjoyable one to boot. Much like Paris, Allen has lined up a sizable and talented cast for his latest outing, though he's chosen Rome as his own spin on throwaway rom-coms like New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day and the far superior Love, Actually, instead of focusing on a single leading character. Allen uses the city of Rome as the (often only) link between all manner of people – Italians, Americans, young, old, famous, common, talented, sexy, unsexy, ambitious, bored, confused, the list goes on – and lets them play out their theatrically-tinged trials and tribulations against a gorgeous Roman backdrop. It's frothy and fizzy enough, but To Rome With Love isn't the sort of film that is likely to leave a lasting impact on its audience. It's popcorn entertainment for the indie set.
First Trailer for Woody Allen's 'To Rome With Love' Figures It in EurosMovie News By Kate Erbland on April 3, 2012 | Comments (3)
Woody Allen continues his European tour with his next film, To Rome With Love. This time around, the auteur appears to stick with the light fluffiness that made his Midnight in Paris such a delight to behold, but with a much deeper cast of characters to suit the film's vignette style. The film's synopsis tells us that it "is comprised of four separate vignettes and tells the story of a number of people in Italy—some American, some Italian, some residents, some visitors—and the romances and adventures and predicaments they get into." Players in those various vignettes include Allen himself, Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz, Robert Benigni, Judy Davis, Alison Pill, and Greta Gerwig. With the film's first trailer, we get our first glimpse what we can expect from each section – Allen being neurotic (shock); a potential love triangle involving Eisenberg, Gerwig, and Page; a flimsy and flighty Cruz; and Benigni becoming famous for something. I can already guess which vignettes I'll feel the most amore for – can you?
Review: 'Goon' Is the Best Knock-Your-Teeth-Out Hockey Movie Since 'Slap Shot'Movie Reviews By Robert Fure on March 29, 2012 | Comments (1)
I make no effort to hide my love and appreciation for Seann William Scott. I've always thought he was hilarious and on top of that, he broke my journalism cherry. My first ever interview/junket experience was for Role Models where I was seated, along with two other journalists, and Seann William Scott. To put the sweet love icing on the cake, Scott complimented me while I sat there quietly, in a bit of audio I've kept ever since. Why am I telling you this? Just so you know, because I'm about to gush all over Goon. You can make your own judgement call whether or not my view is too tainted, but when you weigh this review against other reviews, you'll find that in all likelihood, this is just a good movie. Goon currently has a 76% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Now that the unpleasant awkwardness of my manlove is out of the way, Goon is the story of very talented ass-kicker and mediocre hockey player Doug Glatt as he makes a bloody splash on the ice. Early in the story, Glatt moves from fan to fan who kicks a hockey player's ass to low level hockey star to semi-pro star enforcer.
Movie News After Dark: Kermit In Jail, Finding Cliff Robertson Over The Rim, Highlander, Books of Mormon, and Boatloads of ShameFeatures By Scott Beggs on September 12, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
What is Movie News After Dark? It's the movie website equivalent of stuffing a turkey with three chickens and an eel. News of all shapes and sizes finds itself among some strange bedfellows here even if you can't sleep. We get things started with a metric ton of images and information about The Muppets. If you're willing to brave the spoilers, /film has everything from character descriptions to photos to trivia. Or, you can let the burning questions wash over you. Why is Kermit behind bars? Does it have anything to do with inter-species sex laws? Why wouldn't it?
Woody Allen Has a Cast for 'The Bop Decameron'Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 20, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Even though Woody Allen's latest film Midnight in Paris is still doing gangbusters in theaters, it's time to start talking about his next project. I mean, the guy does one of these things a year, there's no time to sit back and soak up any success. His next film, The Bop Decameron, sees him continuing his tour of Europe by filming in Rome. Makes sense, seeing as ever since he stopped filming in New York City we've already gotten movies from him set in England, Spain, and France. Why wouldn't Italy be next on the itinerary? The films location isn't the thing worth talking about though. What's really newsworthy is that earlier today Allen made a show of announcing the official cast. His first announcement was that he himself would be returning to acting for this one, something we haven't seen him do for half a decade, since 2006's Scoop. The rest of the casting news is that The Bop Decameron will star, alphabetically, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penélope Cruz, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig, and Ellen Page. There are just too many actors I love, especially young actors, in that list to even begin dissecting why this is an awesome cast. I'll just say I'm gushing at the thought of hearing Eisenberg deliver Woody dialogue and leave it at that. In addition to these names, Allen also says that the film will co-star Antonio Albanese, Fabio Armiliata, Alessandra Mastronardi, Ornella Muti, Flavio Parenti, Alison Pill, Riccardo Scamarcio and […]
Cannes 2011 Review: Woody Allen's Midnight in ParisCannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 11, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Editor's Note: Our Cannes coverage kicks off hard and heavy here, so everyone welcome Simon Gallagher and forgive him his British spellings that slip by the editing process. Also, all Cannes reviews are best read with a glass of champagne. Day one on the Croisette and we're already opening with a name as big as Woody Allen. For the second year in a row, the director who never seems to tire of making films, and who can still occasionally make exceptional ones, has a film showing on the Croisette. Following last year's inclusion of You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, the 64th Cannes festival opened this morning with the New Yorker's latest – Midnight in Paris – a screening that for me came laced with both excitement, and an underwhelming sense that I was about to see essentially the same Woody Allen film I've been watching for the past decade or so. It's not that I don't enjoy seeing Allen muse on the nature of love and relationships, or seeing him create a slightly grotesqued portrait of himself (this time taken on by Owen Wilson), I just think there is only so much enjoyment to be had when a filmmaker so obviously resists the urge to evolve through his art, no matter how good it is. But I had no reason to be suspicious, as it seems that Allen has taken it upon himself to debunk the idea that he generally makes and remakes the same film, throwing a […]

How long did it take to get use to working nights? - page 4
Hello, I am thinking about taking a 7p-7a job. Problem is I have only worked 7-3, 3-11, and 7a-7p. I want to know how long did it take you to adjust to being awake overnight? How do you stay up and energized during this shift?... Read More
- 0Apr 28, '11 by rikkitikkiYes! Dark curtains will save your life!
- 0Apr 28, '11 by anotheroneDidn't take any time. I prefer nights. Most nights we are just as busy or busier than days since there is less ancillary staff. We have NO trouble staying awake!
- 0Apr 29, '11 by nurse.sandiMy vitamin D was a third of what it should of been. In the winter I saw no light. It was dark when I went to work and dark when I went home. But, if I had to choose I would choose 7p-7a all over again. But this time like a previous poster recommended...I would get a special light and drink tons of water. I was always dehydrated per my Dr.
- 0Apr 29, '11 by nurse.sandiWhen I worked 3-11p I had no social life or did not see my child. You have to way the lesser of the evils. The thing about three twelves is that if you can..(we made our own schedules and the manager approved it) is that you can work 3 on 8 off 3 on. Get all your shifts in, get your weekend in and it seems like a vacation every time you do this. There are many ways to make your schedule. However, if someone else makes your schedule it may not be that pretty.
- 0Apr 29, '11 by CalidthreeNQuote from BhavanaI too as a student did my preceptorship during the night shift on a non busy med surg floor. It was terrible doing nights there simply because there was not much going on. I felt like it was a waste of time because there weren't many opportunities to learn at night. And at night the preceptors didn't seem energized to teach. If there is not much work to be done, it makes a 12 hour shift feel like 24 hours. I recently accepted a night shift job, but it's in the ER so I'm hoping that it will keep me busy at night.Ugh. Great question. I am doing 12 hr shift clinicals right now as a student, and let me tell you, even if I manage to sleep half the day to prepare myself, it is BRUTAL!! By the time 3am rolls around, I want to cry. I am also on a very quiet floor, nothing going on, which I think makes it worse. The other seasoned nurses don't seem to handle it much better, they struggle at times to stay awake as well.
To be honest, it isn't normal to be up all night. It goes against the natural law of the universe! Staying busy helps, but it probably takes a long time to not feel like it is torture. And even then, it is probably, for most people, not an easy shift. ESPECIALLY with the 12 hour shift. 11 to 7 is easier.
- 0Jan 6, '13 by neftSome people here mentioned caffeine. Caffeine is not recommended even three hours before your night shift is up as it works together with the circadian clock to keep you up and you don't get a proper restful sleep. It is recommended to sleep immediately after coming home as well a a nap or even a few hours before going to work if possible. Check out some good info at Jobs Working Nights

Private industry is weirder and stupider, but it pays a lot better.

Q2: It's really important not to pick a jerk as a PI. It's also really important to know your own personal ability to withstand jerks, and (potentially) be a jerk back. A lot of people think "I'm tough enough and I'm good enough." I did, and I think I was wrong. Doesn't mean that you will be.

Q3: You need to ask good questions, and you need to learn how to listen about PIs. Most graduate students will be willing to (behind closed doors, or with the right amount of beer) be quite honest how how jerky (or not) their profs are. Most questions will be:

1. Is Prof X a dick?
2. Where do Prof X's people end up?
3. Do you think Prof X is fair?
4. Who did the worst in Prof X's group? Why?

Most of those questions will get you where you want to go.

I've talked with my mentor about grad school being an emotionally tough environment, but these testimonies have placed grad school in a whole new, and much darker light. I thought scientific communities in grad school were supposed to be havens of free thought and collaboration? what the hell is the point in being so nasty to each other in the first place, i mean every one is really in the same boat and the only way i can see grad students turning on each other is if the mentor is instigating it with some bullshit like " whoever gets the synthesis first gets the publication."I want to ask " is Grad school really as terrible as you say?" but i have a feeling i already know the answer. how much of the stress could be mitigated simply by picking a PI that isn't an asshole, and what are some ways i can find out who to avoid once I'm in or when i visit?

With me, I don't remember that I cried, but I do remember sending an email to my advisor describing my frustrations with the dead-end thesis project I was on (which was correct--three years and no publication from it). I think in that e-mail I asked from him for help, advice suggestions.

He told me in person that he did not have time to read my email.

That lead me to where I am now: a complete divorcing of myself from having any personal ambition.

My bad grad student and horrible post-doc experience, along with a pitiful personal life, did lead to some psychological problems (to embarrassing to describe, but nothing in terms of sociopathy) which I am still recovering from.

Getting a PhD is not something I just decided to do because there was no jobs and nothing else better. I worked as a Tech I know what my options are with just a BS in chemistry and it isn't what I want. I have wanted a PhD for as long as I could remember. I am smart enough but I don't know if I am emotionally or mentally strong enough. When do you throw in the towel and say enough is enough? People not in the program don't understand and tell you to be strong you can do it. My peers say yeah, yeah we feel that way too but their abilities to function normally suggest they don't. Who do you talk to then? I don't even know what I need to hear to make it all okay. I don't want to reach the point of hopelessness and a deep depression I can recover from, but I also don't want to give up so easy.

I still love synthesis and my advisor was hard at me at times- what really got me was when things I was ordered to try (by a post doc) didn't work and I was held responsible for it. That broke me down.

Afterwards (which involved alot of therapy, drugs (both pharmaceutical and recreational) and soul searching) I bowed to do things that =I= thought had a reasonable chance of working (it was my time and effort after all).

Ofcourse chemistry is still chemistry so "motivating" didn't stop but atleast I was being held accountable for my own ideas/actions. This made the experience quite acceptable for me. Looking back my one regret is not coming to that specific conclusion sooner. When our nut was cracked I was very happy to see that my PI was happier then me (for me!)

Otherwise PI's are still humans and they are not perfect- I would guess much of the nastiness come from trying to motivate people and geting them to achieve their very best.

All we wanted to do was collaborate, and we resented him for it. The first real nice things he ever said about me was introducing me at my thesis defense. By then, I really wanted out of chemistry forever. I have since had 4 months off of work and my brain is finally realizing that I do want to be a scientist, but that grad school was a very poor way of getting into it.

Few other jobs have working conditions that dire. In industry, people get laid off more because the project itself doesn't work, or didn't show results in time. In grad school, you are expected to coax nature to follow your hypothesis, and we all know about that success rate.

I think it's unrealistic to expect advisors to become great managers - many of them are products of the same awful circumstances, and none of them get any management training. It's also demoralizing to realize that a lot of PhD candidates are expended to churn out data for grant apps, or "sacrificed" for impossible pet projects.

I would advise anyone considering grad school to carefully take the temperature of the PI and lab environment. If lab members take 8 years to graduate, if the advisor has a bad reputation - then find another lab. In the end, your PhD will mean more than the project itself.

Every university I've attended has had a business management school that has offered classes and workshops to students, faculty and staff in other programs. The large company for whom I used to work did the same for all science staff, as do a number of professional societies. These classes were/are never mandatory and were/are offered as professional development. I imagine the majority of PIs delete the emails announcing them.

I have observed that most PIs demand their employees to just work it out. This often leads to escalation.

A lot of grad students I have talked to, go through this phase in every field. Yes, the experimental sciences makes things even harder. I am in a computational field of study, and I almost quit the program in my mid-years. I had a failing research project, I thought of myself as a failure, I was going through the motions, but couldn't really fruitfully do the thinking for the research for almost a year. I had an advisor who was well-intentioned but never available. I was basically on my own, trying to chalk out my own problems, writing up, etc. I was 100% sure I was going to quit. The sad part is that as this was happening I didn't even realize it could be depression. It really was. I was very lucky to have a very supportive group of friends, sharing my frustration with them, hearing theirs, that helped me through. Now, as I'm wrapping up my Ph.D., I approach my research with a lot more confidence. Sadly, some other friends of mine, didn't recover from the what I call the mid-year lows. If there is one advice I can give grad students, it will be go out of your way to create a network of people around you, share your frustrations, and your shortcomings with them, it will help you through.

I wanted to comment because I was sorta amazed to see that this was happening in other labs too.. we also had our share of physical assaults.. stealing equipment.. stealing data.. one restraining order.. and a girl who would throw glassware around when she got mad (she hit a laptop and destroyed it once).. and while most students graduated in 7 & 1/2 years we had three that had been there for 10-12 years (which is soul crushing.. even if you're not that person to be working next to them.. kinda affects you whether you realize it or not..).

I confess that even I have had a screaming match in the middle of the hallway.. but I was at my wit's end.. and sometimes you need to scream and shout to get treated with a little respect..

our PI completely refused to get involved... (even with the restraining order issue)..

And I agree with you.. the only reason that I got through my two years there was because I was self medicating with alcohol.. and I finally left because my dad, bf and best friend all urged me to quit.. because they said that they thought I was highly depressed...

let me also say that is kinda freeing to say this all out loud.. and have other people acknowledge that they've had similar experiences... even if I am posting as anonymous...email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-21358375598419712902013-01-08T08:20:41.121-05:002013-01-08T08:20:41.121-05:00Selecting for professors from the top ten schools ...Selecting for professors from the top ten schools probably doesn't help with good management technique since it just means they probably learned how to do it wrong under slave drivers who killed their personality in the process. The old professors from top 10 schools in my department were interesting people with outside interests, who even if they were slave drivers, I felt you could talk to and were genuinely exited about chemistry.

The new guys (as remembered from my old PhD program) are mostly monotone and only focused on chemistry if you're lucky. There was one guy who did his PhD in Boston and postdoc in Scripps or similar, who not only was a plank of wood in terms of personality, I honestly didn't see how he was that intelligent and a good chemist. Obviously he was smart enough to get the interview out of the way, but I could see how he was incompetent in managing the lab because he didn't know enough simple stuff about humans. There were definitely some issues between the students there. I don't know how the guy got his faculty position, but I suspect favoritism for top 10 pedigree and old boy network cronyism.

Nobody was expected to work more than 35-40 hours a week since a PhD-student is subject to the same collective bargaining agreements as other public sector employees. You get 5 weeks of vacation + national holidays, sick leave, pension etc. Our research group was small, less than 10 PhDs, postdocs and master students which meant that the PI had time to chat with everybody on an almost daily basis. Another benefit of smaller research groups is that more PhD's has as chance at becoming a professor. The research groups share almost all the equipment and chemicals which makes your daily life much easier.

Now I'm doing a postdoc in the US to get a taste of the 'real world'. I have learned that the 100 hour week was not a joke. I see my PI maybe once a month. My labmates are zombies who have no social life. Some of our chinese J1 scholars actually sleep in the lab. Our equipment was great when the PI bought it 50 years ago, now most of it is a safety hazard. I can live with it because I know exactly when my appointment ends, but I do feel sorry for the grad students who have to stay 3 or 4 or 5 more email@example.com

Juanita Page had breast cancer surgery in February and is now going through all the follow-up treatments, which leave her emotionally and physically drained. "But I know God isn't going to put more on me than I can bear," she said.
Having survived a hurricane and long-term displacement, Juanita Page was forced to deal with her greatest fear of all: cancer. "It's something I had always been afraid of," said the 70-year-old retired housekeeper. "When it happened to me, I thought I was just going to collapse. But I just prayed about it and said, 'Well, it happened. I've been going to church all my life, and I know God isn't going to put more on me than I can bear.' That's the attitude I took."
Page lost everything to the winds and water of Hurricane Katrina but hopes to be back in her house for good after this year's Carter Work Project. Till then, she's living in a government-issued trailer parked in the driveway of her home, which had been repaired once since 2005 but is now getting new wiring and a new roof—one that doesn't leak.
Page had breast cancer surgery in February and is now going through all the follow-up treatments, which leave her emotionally and physically drained. What she looks forward to most is sleeping in her own bed. "I want to relax and try to take it easy," she said, "after all this trouble.
One of Page's grandsons has his FEMA trailer parked in the front yard, and a large storage pod takes up nearly every other inch of lawn. The sounds of construction—hammers and circular saws, mostly—punctuate all the daily activities in the neighborhood, from early in the morning to well past dark.
It all represents progress, Page acknowledged, but it's been painfully slow. For her, the lowest point in the recovery was in the weeks immediately after Katrina, when all of her waterlogged worldly possessions had been cleared from the house and piled unceremoniously on the curb.
"When you lose everything and you see it out there on the sidewalk for somebody to pick up, it's like everything in you is gone," Page said. "Everything you ever worked for is sitting outside. After they come and remove it, so you don't walk out there and see it every day, it's a little better."
Page was born in Mississippi but lived for years in Ohio and New York. Since 1976, Gulfport has been her home.
Now, for the first time in a long time, she has renewed hope for her longtime neighborhood.
"I think it's going to come back better than ever," she said. "Once everything's done, it's going to be better. A lot better."

Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW M3 than the Jaguar XK, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW M3, the Jaguar XK may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jaguar XK as you will with the BMW M3, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Jaguar XK will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the BMW M3, which has a much lower MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Jaguar XK and the BMW M3 have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Jaguar XK is much wider than the BMW M3, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jaguar XK, which is slightly longer than the BMW M3.
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Jaguar XK does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the BMW M3.
The Jaguar XK has a smaller turning radius than the BMW M3, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Jaguar XK is somewhat more powerful than the BMW M3.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Jaguar XK and the BMW M3. The Jaguar XK has less cargo capacity than the BMW M3, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
The Jaguar XK comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the BMW M3.
Compare the 2015 Jaguar XK and the 2013 BMW M3.

IHOP serves up free pancakes for National Pancake Day to benefit Children's Miracle Network
Donations benefit Riley Hospital for Children
INDIANAPOLIS - International House of Pancakes restaurants turned up their griddles Tuesday to give away thousands of pancakes for a good cause.
