Corporate Calls for Global Competence: Rhetoric vs. Action
I have an educational exercise for you. Embark on a tour through your closets and dresser drawers. It will be an inexpensive trip. Everyone, especially fellow citizens of the famously inward-looking USA, should give this inventory project a try. The targets I have in mind are tags saying "Made in Mexico" or "Made in Jordan." At this point, "Made in China" may be a given. Once you have completed the tour, even the most worldly readers of triplepundit.com may be surprised at the extent of their unavoidable, everyday connections to the rest of the world. You will have experienced a common tool for educating students of all ages about the phenomenon of globalization. Wrapped up in that simple exercise, and in those items from various shores, are complicated issues that mirror the "greyness" of our world. Human rights, the global environment, cultural traditions, political concerns – so much complexity, so little black and white. The process of making, packaging, shipping, selling, purchasing, and eventually disposing of any given product exudes the greyness that is globalization.
This is not rocket science, but I worry that the next generation of leaders in business, government, and other sectors may not fully understand these concepts or have the global awareness and experience to act on them appropriately. Just as attention to environmental and social concerns has become a measure of visionary corporate performance, excellence in education is not achieved without a significant infusion of global perspectives, at all levels and across disciplines. If we can agree on that, maybe we can agree that the corporate world should seek more ways to partner with the world of education toward global competence outcomes wanted by all.

ASHLAND, Ore. — Summertime activities are abundant in Southern Oregon this weekend. Saturday art admirers gathered in Ashland for The 7th Annual MidSummer's Dream Art and Music Festival.
About 65 artists set up stands in Ashland to display everything from paintings, to leatherworks, to woodworks, and even dolls.
"Hang out under these nice shade trees, eat some food, browse at some art. It's become a yearly thing for a lot of people and we try to make it really kid friendly," said artist David Scoggin.
A portion of the profits go to the Brisco Art School, an organization helping teach art in Ashland schools.
The artists spend 270 hours teaching a year, thanks to these fundraisers. The event continues from 11 a.m to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Good list there -
I can answer the question about His Dark Materials - it's a quote from Milton, somewhere in Paradise Lost I think, which with Blake is obviously a huge influence on Pulman's books (I like the Sally Lockhart books too).
As far as I know, nobody knows when the last of the Obernewtyn series is coming - it must be seriously stuck! What a nightmare!

Think! what is actually going on: bribe, corruption, 'padma' budget loot, hyper-inflation, tender-hijacking, fire on garments, killing of people including journalists as well as political leaders, blood-shed in universities and so on and so forth. Tell me, honestly, what the government is doing for those? Why this ICT became so important now? Why it was not important immediately after independence? Why not earlier Awami era? Why the people in Awami League who were so called 'rajakar' are not accused and are not under ICT trial? What is the target of this ICT? Why 'chatra league' and 'juba league' is doing anything and everything but government is silent? who will answer?
Aha! Durvaga Bangladesh!

Verizon pins down rights for content from the parent of MTV and Comedy Central, after its CEO said the company plans to launch a wireless TV service next year.
The goal is to appeal to customers who need to upload videos, photos, and other bandwidth-consuming content.
Like its Xbox 360 companion app, the FiOS app for Xbox One allows users with Verizon's cable and Internet service to stream 74 live channels.
The deal will allow customers subscribing to both Verizon Wireless and a triple-play Fios service to get $20 off their monthly bills.
Verizon reaches a deal with the chipmaker, Amazon may ship items before you even order them, and HP brings back Windows 7.
Yes, you can now watch live shows on the app but only if you live in certain markets.
Frontier Communications will pick up parts of Verizon's landline business, while American Tower will pick up the rights to 11,300 cellular towers.
A fourth-quarter jump in the customer turnover rate underscores the increasingly volatile environment for wireless carriers that even Verizon can no longer avoid.
The vulnerability, which Verizon has already fixed, would have let anyone to tap into a Verizon email account.
Verizon CFO Fran Shammo says the carrier won't be following AT&T and T-Mobile's lead.

Sometimes, however, such behavior may be due to a mental disorder. Mental illnesses are the No. 1 cause of medical disability in youths ages 15 and older in the United States and Canada, according to the World Health Organization. "One reason we haven't made greater progress helping people recover from mental disorders is that we get on the scene too late," said Thomas R. Insel, MD, director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the featured speaker at the American Academy of Pediatrics' Presidential Plenary during the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Boston. Dr. Insel will discuss signs of mental illnesses in young children and the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in his presentation, "What Every Pediatrician Needs to Know about Mental Disorders," from 1:35 to 2:10 p.m. ET on Sunday, April 29, in the Hynes Convention Center. As the first line of defense, pediatricians can detect mental disorders early and ensure children get treatment as soon as possible, Dr. Insel said. While questionnaires currently are the best way for doctors to screen for mental illness, better tools are on the horizon, such as cognitive and genetic tests. It's also important to understand that mental illnesses are a developmental brain disorder even though they can look like behavior problems, Dr. Insel explained. "The future of mental illness has to be at the point where we aren't treating behavior separately from the rest of the person," he said. "There needs to be full integration of behavior and medical concerns to ensure that we are able to care for the whole person and not just one system." In addition to serving as director of the NIMH, Dr. Insel is acting director of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, a new arm of the National Institutes of Health that aims to accelerate the development of diagnostics and therapeutics. Autism also is an area of interest for Dr. Insel. He chairs the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Prior to joining NIMH, he was director of the Center for Autism Research and professor of psychiatry at Emory University, where he was the founding director of the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience. Reporters who want to attend the sessions must check in at the PAS Press Office (room 205) in the Hynes Convention Center to receive press credentials. ### The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) are four individual pediatric organizations that co-sponsor the PAS Annual Meeting – the American Pediatric Society, the Society for Pediatric Research, the Academic Pediatric Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Members of these organizations are pediatricians and other health care providers who are practicing in the research, academic and clinical arenas. The four sponsoring organizations are leaders in the advancement of pediatric research and child advocacy within pediatrics, and all share a common mission of fostering the health and well-being of children worldwide.

The appeal is a reaction against Tunisia authorities' use of antiterrorism laws as a pretext to freeze the assets of the Arab Institute, an Arab nongovernmental organization founded in 1989 initiative of the Arab Organization for Human Rights, the Arab Lawyers' Union, and the Tunisian Human Rights League, with support from the United Nations Centre for Human Rights, UNESCO and UNICEF. The Community of Democracies is a coalition of democratic countries, initiated in 1999 with the common goal of strengthening democratic institutions and values at the national, regional, and global levels.

HIV and AIDS not only threaten an unprecedented number of lives in sub-Saharan Africa, but also undermine the institutions that govern and sustain democracy. As the effects of the epidemic escalate, people may feel or experience a threat to their ability to participate in the economy and to participate actively in democratic processes. The Institute for Democracy in South Africa's (Idasa) Governance & AIDS Program and Fairlady Magazine have thus joined forces to encourage and enrich the discussion between citizens and South Africa's decision makers about HIV/AIDS. The Idasa /Fairlady Conversation Series will be an opportunity for members of HIV/AIDS communities to engage with people of influence and to provide a forum that will explore issues beyond the health system. The focus of the first conversation will be on how the HIV/AIDS epidemic has forced South African society to reconsider and redefine the roles and responsibilities of women, men, children and employers.

On July 18-21, 2005, the Access Initiative (TAI) hosted a seminar in Mexico City on "Implementation of Principle 10 in Latin-America." Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development was adopted in 1992 to ensure public access to information, participation in decision making, and access to justice as key principles of environmental governance. This meeting took place within the framework of TAI, a global coalition of civil society groups that promote the accelerated and enhanced implementation of Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration in different countries around the world. Civil society representatives from Latin America countries shared the assessments on their governments' performance regarding the implementation of Principle 10. The discussion resulted in the development of national and regional strategies.

The Egyptian Association for Community Participation Enhancement (EACPE), working on human rights, and democracy development in Egypt, share the experience of its project, "Promoting Human Rights Culture among School Children." The project targeted children between ages 12 and 18 in over 20 public schools in the Cairo Governorate. As part of this project, students designed posters expressing different principles and articles from the International Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and the Egyptian Constitution.
The designs were then printed on covers of notebooks and distributed to students. In addition, the organization facilitated the volunteer efforts of students and teachers in establishing Human Rights Clubs (HRC) in 20 schools and organized a Human Rights Training Camp for members of the clubs in July 2005. Responding to students' increasing interest, EACPE expects to work with more schools in the future.

The Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) is publishing a series of briefing papers, entitled: "NHRIs: Good, Bad and Ugly," which examines the functioning of the National Human Rights Institutions of Thailand, India and Nepal. The first issue, "A Good Case: NHRC of Thailand," argues that Thailand's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) work has been commendable due to its opposition to the emergency decree, and human rights violations, and making appropriate interventions. The second issue, "A Bad Case: NHRC of India Clogged Under Operational Inefficiency," makes the case that India's NHRC is ineffective due to its operational inefficiencies, such as non-registration of complaints, denial of the right to information on the complaints, not providing response of the State in the course of considering complaints, closure of cases on frivolous grounds, exposing the complainants, flawed investigation processes, and lack of follow-up mechanisms for prosecution. The forthcoming issue will address Nepal's NHRC.

Human Rights Report on Post-Tsunami Relief Efforts
The latest issue of Human Rights Features, entitled "From Relief to Recovery: Post-Tsunami Human Rights Implications for India," argues that while several international and domestic organizations and the Government of India have made commendable contributions to the relief effort by providing resources to address the immediate needs of the tsunami victims, much remains to be done in the area of building a sustainable framework within which tsunami victims may be permanently rehabilitated. Numerous reports have surfaced documenting problems arising from the relief operations themselves, the most notable of which are consistent discrimination in the distribution of aid and rehabilitation services, unsustainable solutions to relocation and insufficient means for livelihood. The report points out that prioritizing human rights while rebuilding tsunami-affected communities is important not only to ensure long-term survival, but also to address longstanding human rights issues.

Ill-treatment at Police Station in Belgrade
The Humanitarian Law Centre (HLC) has asked the Inspector General of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) to order a prompt and proper investigation into the ill-treatment of two citizens, Aleksandar Petrovi and Ivan Marinkovi, at the Stari Grad police station (OUP) in Belgrade. According to HLC, three uniformed police officers from the Stari Grad police station entered the apartment of Aleksandar Petrovi at 3 Fruskogorska Street in Belgrade without authorization and detained Petrovi? and his friend. After being detained, they were brutally beaten up at the police station. As a result of their treatment at the police station, Petrovi and Marinkovi suffered numerous injuries which doctors later substantiated. The HLC, which has complete medical records about the injuries sustained by the victims as well as their statements, intends to file criminal complaints and sue the police officers for damages on behalf of the victims.

West Papuan Human Rights Leader Wins 2005 John Humphrey Freedom Award
The Montreal-based Rights & Democracy announced that Yan Christian Warinussy of West Papua, Indonesia, is the winner of its 2005 John Humphrey Freedom Award. Mr. Warinussy is Executive Director of the Institute for Research, Analysis and Development of Legal Aid, also known as LP3BH, an organization committed to defending the rights of West Papuans affected by the Indonesian military's efforts to assert control over the region, which occupies the western half of the island shared by Papua New Guinea. Mr. Warinussy has distinguished himself by his frontline role as a defense lawyer to those in West Papua's remote regions who would otherwise have no legal representation.

The Education for Democracy Foundation is accepting applications for the 2005 round of the "Region in Transition" (RITA) Program of the Polish American Freedom Foundation. The goal of the program, administered by the Education for Democracy Foundation, is to facilitate the transfer of Polish NGO experience to the societies of the former Eastern Bloc and to support their democratic and free market transformations. During the past four years, RITA has provided grants for 300 projects of Polish nongovernmental organizations and education institutions working in post-communist countries. Grant making competitions are carried out on two tracks: (1) Co-operation at the Local Level and (2) The Best Polish Experience (a competition aimed at transfer of the most efficient Polish transformation experience). Since it is obligatory for Polish applicants to have partners in the former Eastern Bloc, organizations from the region are encouraged to contact their Polish partners and encourage them to develop joint project proposals. For those who don't have established contacts in Poland, information about potential Polish partners is available at www.ngo.pl or on a CD-rom, "Activity of Polish NGOs Abroad," disseminated by the Education for Democracy Foundation. Deadlines for applications are: September 15, 2005 and March 15, 2006 for the Cooperation at the Local Level track; and November 15, 2005 for the Best Polish Experience track.

New Publication: Media and Democracy in Israel
The Israel Democracy Institute (IDI), a Jerusalem-based think-tank dedicated to promoting democracy and enriching the public discourse in Israel, announces the recent publication of MEDIA AND DEMOCRACY IN ISRAEL. This book, part of the "Auditing Israeli Democracy" project headed by IDI Senior Fellow Professor Asher Arian, provides statistical information about how different sectors of Israeli society view the Israeli media in comparison to other institutions, as opposed to how the media views itself. For example, over the past three years, the level of trust Israeli citizens have had in the media has remained constant, while the amount of trust they have had in other institutions has decreased. However, Israelis also see the media as a source of stress and conflict surrounding the pending disengagement plan. Other books in this series include an annual ISRAELI DEMOCRACY INDEX, which examines how Israeli citizens assess their own democracy. IDI is a member of the World Movement's Network of Democracy Research Institutes (NDRI).

"Catwalk to the Barracks," a report authored by the Woman and Child Rights Project (WCRP) of Southern Burma and the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM), documents sexual violence by Burmese troops affiliated with the military regime against 50 women and girls aged 14 to 50. Half of the incidents have taken place since 2002.
Despite the ceasefire between the New Mon State Party and the military regime since 1995, the regime has deployed 20 more battalions in Mon areas, leading to increased incidents of sexual violence. According to the report, during the years 2003-2004, village headmen in southern Ye township were ordered by the Burmese army to provide young women to serve as "comfort women" or sex slaves at the local barracks. Schoolgirls were also forced to parade on a catwalk for the entertainment of military officers. The authors of the report urge the international community, especially ASEAN members, to pressure the Burmese regime to end state-sponsored sexual violence and to begin a process of meaningful political reform.

Proteins of the Bcl-2 family are important regulators of apoptosis in many tissues of the embryo and adult. The recently isolated bcl-w gene encodes a pro-survival member of the Bcl-2 family, which is widely expressed. To explore its physiological role, we have inactivated the bcl-w gene in the mouse by homologous recombination. Mice that lack Bcl-w were viable, healthy, and normal in appearance. Most tissues exhibited typical histology, and hematopoiesis was unaffected, presumably due to redundant function with other pro-survival family members. Although female reproductive function was normal, the males were infertile. The testes developed normally, and the initial, prepubertal wave of spermatogenesis was largely unaffected. The seminiferous tubules of adult males, however, were disorganized, contained numerous apoptotic cells, and produced no mature sperm. Both Sertoli cells and germ cells of all types were reduced in number, the most mature germ cells being the most severely depleted. The bcl-w-/- mouse provides a unique model of failed spermatogenesis in the adult that may be relevant to some cases of human male sterility.

Big Brown Machine
Saturday's Kentucky Derby favorite arrives fresh from South Florida.
By Edmund Newton
For the past two weeks, Palm Meadows has clattered with the sounds of an army leaving a battlefield. Early last Thursday at the thoroughbred training facility in Boynton Beach, stable hands load tack into the trunks of cars and the backs of minivans, and huge trailers full of horses churn past the entry guardhouse toward I-75, heading to the Northern tracks. With Hallandale Beach's Gulfstream season finished, the facility, which can house as many as 1,200 horses at a time, is fast turning into a sleepy farm with empty barns.
But a small klatch of trainers and track administrators, gathered on a trackside tower, isn't involved in the logistical shakedown. These men are focused on the here-and-now. They're thinking about the Kentucky Derby, American's premier horserace, which takes place Saturday. In the dim morning light, they squint toward the far side of the track.
"That our boy?" somebody asks.
"Yeah. Here he goes."
Out there, a speeding horse has burst forward, heading in a straight line toward the far turn. Even at that distance, racing along a waist-high hedge, its stride looks classically graceful, a relentlessly efficient forward motion that carries horse and rider around the bend. The horse rounds the turn and approaches the tower, and the men can hear its hoofs rhythmically smacking the dirt. It crosses an imaginary line next to the tower, and several of the onlookers stare at the stopwatches in their hands.
One horse, standing next to the rail, looks up at the men on the platforms of the observation tower.
"I got 58-1," the man says, looking doubtfully at his watch. He needs confirmation.
"Yeah, 58-1," someone else says.
The number sits in the air for all to ponder in disbelief or awe.
The big horse, ridden by his assistant trainer, an Irishwoman named Michelle Nevin, has just covered five-eighths of a mile in almost two seconds less than a minute. It's a sizzling pace, a shade under 40 mph. Trainers are usually happy if their horses, even stakes contenders, cover the same distance in a minute or 61 seconds.
The beast in question is Big Brown, a big and, yes, brown stallion, with a lick of white in the middle of his forehead, who has been training in South Florida since he handily won the Florida Derby on March 29. Brown is now the odds-on favorite to carry the day in Kentucky. The playful, peppermint-addicted three-year-old is trained by Richard Dutrow Jr., who these days lounges around Barn 22 at Palm Meadows as mellow as a Key West sunset.
Brown, with only three races behind him, all impressive wins, seems to be cresting, Dutrow says. Just in time.
"He's pulling the other horses around the track now," says Dutrow, a chunky man with a big, pleasant face, like Jonathan Winters without the flashes of panic. "Before, he was very, very manageable. Now, he's getting aggressive out there. He's more into the bridle. I like seeing that."
Big Brown has fallen in love with Florida, Dutrow says. The horse glows with contentment, shambling around the barn behind hotwalker Alberto Montejo, standing alertly as a groom douses him in suds and water, and flicking his tail playfully at the men who work on him. "He's spoiled rotten," says Dutrow, who plies Brown with mint candies. "We let him get away with murder." The horse was named by his first owner, a trucking executive for UPS, giving Big Brown an imposing cachet, like the powerful Cincinnati Reds of the 1970s, which became the Big Red Machine. He's the Big Brown Machine.
The morning workout, which had bystanders doing double takes (and whose time will go into the Daily Racing Form officially as 58 and 3/5), was the last breeze-out before the Derby, Dutrow says, except for a three-furlong sprint at Churchill Downs to familiarize the horse with the track. Dutrow says he told Nevin, who also works as an exercise rider for Dutrow: "Let's do a little more this morning. When he turns for home, let 'im up a notch." Brown responded energetically.
Asked what it's like riding a speed demon such as Brown, Nevin, a woman of few words, replies, "Awesome. It's so easy for him. You just have to sit there with a relaxed hold on him."
On race day, veteran jockey Kent Desormeaux will be in the saddle. Desormeaux, says Dutrow, brings aggressiveness, enthusiasm, and experience to the mix. "And we like him," the trainer says.
Big Brown isn't just a horse; he's an investment property. His majority owner is International Equine Acquisitions Holdings, an 80-member collective that operates like a hedge fund. The investors are money people with a rare opportunity to get emotionally involved, bringing a lot of action to the track where IEAH horses have raced.
"When Big Brown won the Florida Derby, I had to do a little census of the number of people in the winner's circle," says Gulfstream's head of media relations, Mike Mullaney. "There were more than 40."
Of course, that kind of backing might introduce a downside for the average bettor. With a battalion of rich people betting on Big Brown, the odds may get artificially lowered. That means lower payoffs for bets on Big Brown. Will he still be the favorite Saturday, in a field of 20 horses?

Off-Campus Internships
The GTI's Off-Campus Student Intern program enables eligible undergraduate or graduate students enrolled at one NC State's partner universities overseas to engage in a student internship (externship) in their field of study with a company in North Carolina. Students (or their academic advisors) must identify an appropriate company placement. The GTI does not identify internship opportunities for interested students or provide a list of companies who are looking for possible interns. Students at universities that do not have a valid "Memorandum of Agreement" with NC State or who will not be returning to their home university upon completion of the internship are NOT eligible. To determine if your university is an official partner, view the list of partner schools on the OIA website.
Student interns must be in good academic standing at their home university and the internship must be integral to their academic program back home and be recommended by their advisor. Students must have remaining at least one full semester of courses at the home university to return to after the internship period – this program is NOT for students who have graduated.
Students who are accepted into the program should carefully read through the application instructions below. Student interns must complete a virtual check-in with the GTI before the start of their internship. They must also submit an evaluation at the end of the internship. Failure to follow these steps could result in the cancellation of your visa and hurt future chances or returning to the United States.
Quick Links
Application Process for Off-Campus Interns
Student Actions |
NC Company Actions |
1) The prospective student intern finds and secures an internship offer from a North Carolina company/organization. 2) The prospective student intern submits an online application (go.ncsu.edu/iac_apply) and enters the name(s) and email address(es) of the home school faculty advisor(s) who will receive a separate email message with further instructions about submitting a recommendation. 3) After completing the online application, the student will receive a 9-digit application number. This number and the student's surname/family name/last name will be used for the administration fee payment site. No personal credit card information is seen or stored by the University. This fee is not refundable or transferable. The administration fee does not have to be paid at the same time as the online application is submitted, but the application will not be processed until the fee has been paid. 4) The prospective student intern emails to email@example.com ALL of the supporting documents listed below, including the Training/Internship Placement Plan (Form DS-7002) that should be completed with the internship supervisor at the company. 6) Once the supporting documents are completed, emailed, and approved, the GTI will issue a visa certificate (Form DS-2019) within 10 (ten) business days and mail the necessary documents to the student intern. 7) The student intern should apply for the J-1 Student Intern visa and bring the official acceptance letter, the signed DS-7002, and the DS-2019 to the visa interview. |
1) The company sends a job offer letter with dates, duties, and details to the student. See sample letter. 2) The company completes a signed Third Party Agreement* (if necessary) and emails the completed agreement to firstname.lastname@example.com. 3) The company completes a one-page company supplemental form and emails the completed form to email@example.com. 4) The internship supervisor completes the Training/Internship Placement Plan (Form DS-7002) with the student. 5) New company placements with fewer than 25 employees or less than $3 million in annual revenues must arrange for a GTI staff member to conduct a site visit (usually about 2-3 hours within the first few weeks of the internship). *If there are mutiple GTI student interns at a given company, only one copy per organization/company is required. The agreement is valid for a two-year period. |
The following is a list of documents and who is responsible for emailing them. ALL documents must be emailed to email@example.com before the application can be processed:
Supporting Documents
The following documents emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. We can NOT process your application until all documents are complete and emailed at least 45 days before your start date.

Explanation |
Additional Notes |
Student |
Biographical page in passport |
Proof of English ability |
Below are a list of the minimum required test scores. You only need to submit ONE test.
Student interns may use a letter from the English Department or Foreign Language English Department at their home university stating their sufficient English ability. Students will also satisfy this requirement if they have taken a full academic year of courses taught in English at the university-level. |
Proof of financial support |
Student interns need to provide a minimum of $1,250 a month (in English and in US dollars) for the length of the internship. Students will have to provide a bank statement* if their expenses are not covered by a company, institution, or other sponsors. The support letter from the company may be the same as the job offer letter. NOTE: the company must pay at least minimum wage ($7.25/hour for 32-40 hours per week). Being paid minimum wage does not satisfy the $1,250/month proof of financial support needed for the visa documents, so the student intern will need to demonstrate further proof of funding. |
*A letter of support from your family is only needed if your internship is unpaid or if your paid internship will not meet the J-1 visa minimum requirement of $1250 US Dollars per month. Examples of support letters: |
Proof of health insurance |
All student interns are required to have health insurance which meets certain federal requirements:
If you do not have insurance, then you will need to purchase insurance that meets these minimum requirements. Interns must show proof of this coverage before the DS-2019 can be issued. |
Student interns are NOT required to submit immunization records to NC State, but we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you keep your immunizations current according to what the state of North Carolina requires. We also recommend that you bring a copy of your immunization and other important health records (translated into English) with you to the United States. |
School transcripts |
Applicants should email their most recent official school transcript(s) in English or with English translations |
Student Intern Supplemental Form |
Fill out this supplemental questionnaire form |
Faculty |
Academic recommendation |
The academic recommendation comes from the student's advisor at their home institution that explains how the internship is related to the applicant's degree program. It is completed and submitted online by the faculty member. Instructions are emailed when the student enters the faculty's email address in their application. |
The faculty recommendation can be downloaded here. The completed recommendation form should be emailed to email@example.com. |

There are multiple steps in the approval process that cannot be expedited if your application is not completed in time.
Click here to see a completed application for an off-campus student intern with examples of supporting documents you need to include in your application. This is only a sample and should be used as a guide to help you determine what documents you need to email.
Overview of the Internship Process
1) Student interns must complete a virtual "check-in" with the GTI before the start of their internship and within 7 days of their arrival to the US. Failure to do so can result in the cancellation of the visa.
The following steps must be completed (links to the Google Form and the online module are emailed to each student intern):
- Completely fill out the Google Form emailed to you by the GTI
- Watch the J-1 Student Intern Virtual Orientation module
- Email the GTI a copy of the US visa in the passport, the entry stamp received upon entering the US, and a screenshot of the completion certificate at the end of the J-1 Student Intern Virtual Orientation module
2) Students can be paid for the internship ONLY IF its approved beforehand in the federal database. If an internship is paid, the company must pay at least the US federal minimum wage for a full-time position (35 hours per week or more) for the entire period of the internship.
3) Paid student interns must complete an I-9 and apply for a Social Security Card and Number.
4) The GTI will conduct a site visit for any new company placement of a student intern if the company has fewer than 25 employees or less than $3 million in annual revenues. We ask companies outside central North Carolina help defray the transportation costs for a GTI staff member to conduct a site visit (usually about 2-3 hours within the first few weeks of the internship).
5) Student interns must engage in a mid-term evaluation at 6 months if they are staying for longer than 6 months. A final evaluation must also be completed (incorporating both the learning outcomes and assessment tools described in the Form DS-7002 as well as any company assessment processes). This should be completed at the end of their internship period (final week or prior to leaving the US). These will be submitted to the GTI online.
6) We will issue a certificate of completion when the final evaluation is completed.
Access the evaluation form for the intern.
Overview for North Carolina Companies
The GTI facilitates study, research, and internship programs for hundreds of international students each year. The GTI's J-1 Student Intern program enables eligible students (undergraduate or graduate) who are enrolled at one of NC State's partner universities overseas to engage in a student internship in their field of study with a company in North Carolina.
If your company is interested in sponsoring one of these interns, there is more detailed information about what's required of your organization and answers to some frequently asked questions.

A Tribute to My First Rabbi
Posted on | March 26, 2006 | By Kressel Housman | 12 Comments
Today is the yahrtzeit of my first rabbi, Rabbi Eliyahu Chaim Carlebach zt"l. Many people know of Reb Elya's famous twin brother, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, zt"l. In fact, I also found Reb Elya through Reb Shlomo's reputation, but it is Reb Elya who I will always consider my first rabbi.
Reb Elya and Reb Shlomo were born in Vienna in the late 1920's to a prominent and wealthy rabbinic family. Their father, Rabbi Naftali Carlebach, moved the family to Germany for the sake of his sons' education, but by the 1930s, they emigrated to America, early enough to have escaped the war. Rabbi Naftali Carlebach established a shul on West 79th Street in Manhattan which is now run by his great-grandson, Reb Elya's grandson, Rabbi Naftali Citron.
Rabbi Naftali Carlebach was not Chassidish, but when his sons grew older, they became close to the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Reb Elya married the Lubavitcher Rebbe's first cousin, Hadasa, may Hashem bless her with a long and healthy life. They had children and he established his own shul in Staten Island. He became an expert on all types of Chassidus and published an encyclopedia of Chassidus, respected in many different kehillos. I like to think that his tefillos helped bring me to my current point in life, a chassidista of the Stoliner Rebbe.
Reb Shlomo, who was the older twin, succeeded his father as rov of the 79th Street shul, but at some point, the brothers began to run it jointly. They used to alternate Shabbosim; one Shabbos would be led by Reb Shlomo, the next by Reb Elya, and when Reb Shlomo was touring, Reb Elya led for many weeks in a row. Therefore, when I went to the shul looking for Reb Shlomo, I met Reb Elya "by accident."
I had first heard of Reb Shlomo Carlebach in the East Village, of all places. Skipping over the details, I was a cosmically confused teenager, dabbling in lefty politics and astrology. I went to the shul at 79th Street, and had a memorable experience, but nothing that immediately changed my life. It wasn't until I'd spent a few years in college getting even more cosmically confused that I finally decided to go check out the Carlebach shul again.
I was surprised that Reb Shlomo wasn't there, but in many ways Reb Elya was even more welcoming. He heartily invited me to the seudah, and after it, the Rebbetzin told me I could stay upstairs and read for the afternoon. Unfortunately, I took the subway home that afternoon, but I liked the experience enough that I went back for another Shabbos shortly thereafter. Reb Elya welcomed me again, saying he was very happy to see me. So I kept going back, and as I got to know him better, I began to espouse some of the views I'd picked up in college and in political meetings. And the fact that I could do so is the greatest tribute to Reb Elya. No matter how far I had strayed, no matter what outrageous view came out of my mouth, Reb Elya Chaim always made me feel welcome and loved.
Reb Eliyahu Chaim Carlebach, may the memory of this tzaddik be a blessing, left this world right before Shabbos, in March 1990. The congregation was gathered for Shabbos, waiting to see him when they told us. That Shabbos, we sang his favorite songs, told over his teachings, and shared memories. It was a hard, but healing Shabbos. People broke down in tears at different times. I remember watching my own teardrops fall on the tablecloth while some stranger looked at me sympathetically. I must have been crying harder than I realized.
One phrase people attributed to Reb Elya in their stories was, "Just be normal." He had never actually said that phrase to me, but it succinctly summed up the message he had been conveying to me throughout the entire year of our acquaintance. Normalcy was a good value for me to strive for. It certainly wasn't a value in hippiedom or leftism, and after years of identification with both those worldviews, I certainly was not my normal self.
After the loss of a dear authority figure, it is very common that the young and bereft resolve to follow the path of the deceased more devotedly. How else can they connect with the niftar, the person who left this world? The person is gone in body, so the connection must be on a purely spiritual plane. I've been told that the Tanya says that a tzaddik accomplishes more in this world when he leaves it because then he is not encumbered by physicality. I don't claim to understand how that works, but I think that the affect on the bereft which I described must be part of it. As Reb Shlomo used to say, "What do I know?"
May Reb Elya be a mailetz yoshur for klal Yisroel. Oh, how I miss him!

March 26th, 2006 @ 1:57 pmIn their early years, I think their father engaged private melamdim, and I don't really know what happened when they came to America.

March 27th, 2006 @ 12:12 amI never knew Shlomo Carlebach had a twin brother. I find it interesting that both brothers picked a derech that was not their original German derech. It's especially noteworthy because German Jews are usually so adamant to stick to their German customs.
March 27th, 2006 @ 5:00 amVery nice tribute to a truly wonderful person! For more interesting anecdotes about him, see:
and then look under 26 Adar for the "Rav of Hillside".
I believe in their high school years, both Carlebach brothers [they also have an older sister] went to Torah VoDaas. Reb Shlomo went on to Lakewood, then Chabad, he received his semicha from Rav Hutner of Chaim Berlin. I know that Reb Eli Chaim was close for most of his years to Bobov, the Chassidus and the Rebbe, I don't know if he learned in their yeshiva though.
It should not surprise us that people left the German "Yekke" traditions for those of Chassidus. I have a ggod friend who is from such a household who is a fervent Modzitzer Chassid, although he maintains some of his German minhagim as well. In the 20th and 21st Centuries, there is plenty of "crossovers" amongst the various traditions – Sefardim who have become Lubavitchers or Breslovers [in Uman on Rosh Hashana, there's a Carlebach, Sefardi, Teimani minyan, in addition to the regular Breslov one], etc.
May Reb Elya Chaim's merits protect us all! -
March 27th, 2006 @ 6:11 amYour post was beautiful and made me jealous! You are lucky to have had such a mentor.

March 27th, 2006 @ 10:46 amRabbi Seif,
I think one of the reasons they became Chassidish was because one of the melamdim their father engaged for them was a Chossid. Then they came to America, where I suppose more mixing of frum streams went on.
Thank you so much for your links. The bit about his learning to resist insults is something he told over to others many times later in life. He certainly told it to me.
Also, it's absolutely true that he didn't like to use English names. But he always called me "Karen" because I never would tell him my Yiddish name was "Kressel." Back then, I wanted to change it to the Hebrew "Keren," but he wouldn't use it.
Surely you must have had exceptional mentors on your journey as well!
March 27th, 2006 @ 12:34 pmBaruch Hashem that you found your way to where you are today. In shamayim, Reb Elya (and many others) are shlepping nachas
March 27th, 2006 @ 1:51 pmIt is truly wonderful to read all this about my father.
My father was a strong believer in everyone being master of themselves. With Hashem guiding us, we have no excuse for stupidity or even depression. He believed that we can all reach the top. He often told us "just be smart". And, if anyone ever dared to hurt my feelings, he would say to me "You let that cockroach crawling on the floor have control over you?"
He was a magnificent father and terrific grandfather, too. Fortunately he lived to see 10 of the many grandchildren born. The stories are being relayed to the great grandchildren as well.
Love to all my holy brothers and sisters,
Sheina Carlebach Berkowitz -
March 27th, 2006 @ 2:40 pmKressel – re: names and being R. Shlomo's twin. I know a woman who used to frequent the 'Carlebach shul'. She told me a story about when R. Elya was giving a shiur once, he asked one of the attendees – a 'Carlebach' chosid – his name. As she put it, the name was something akin to 'Rainbow Rising over Israel', but Hebrew of course. She says he was heard to mutter, 'Baruch Hashem I was born with him or else he might have named me too!'
Eliahu Gal-Or
March 28th, 2006 @ 7:49 amShalom uBeracha,
I too had the privilege of spending some Shabbatot at the W79th St. Shul when Reb Elya Chaim was there and Reb Shlomo finding Jewish souls to lead back home in some far flung corner of the planet; besides the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and of course Shlomo, I never met anyone else like Reb Elya Chaim who not only saw into my deepest depths, but revealed their contents to me and managed in very few words to steer my neshama onto its unique healing path.
And of course, watching Rebbetzin Hadassah prepare her Guinness Book level corned beef, and savoring more that my fair share because, well, I could not help it, helped my artistic success in the food business, by proving that if you put enough love into whatever art you are practicing at the moment, you are bound to bring geula closer…
If you visit Jerusalem, or better still, if you finally make Aliya (after 30 years I haven't yet regretted it a single day!) and you are in the neighborhood, you will find Reb Elya Chaim's grave at the extreme left of Reb Shlomo's, a few rows beyond in in the Har haMenuchot Cemetery; bring an extra rock in your pocket and say a perek Tehillim there too.
When back in town, please come share your stories and play Jewish Geography with me at "Beit Midrash Ohel Hana" on Rehov Ezrat Israel 5 (the first little lane past Strauss on Yafo going towards Davidka) and have a glass of wine leYiluy Nishmatam; more details at .
Wishing you all a bright Hodesh Nisan and a Pesach Kasher veSameach, with lots of love,
Eliahu Gal-Or
AKA: "Luciano"
one of the Moshav's founders from the House of Love and Prayer, of which Ohel Hana is, after J.A.G.U.A.R., the latest embodiment. -

March 28th, 2006 @ 10:48 amEliahu Gal-Or!
Remember me? You gave me one of my earliest Shabbos experiences! You were taking me to some friends of yours in Pennsylvania and on the train, you decided we'd never make it in time, so we got off and went right back to 79th Street. It made such an impression on me. It showed me just how serious the business of not traveling on Shabbos is.
So you're in Jerusalem now? Does that mean Luciano's at the moshav is no longer open?

Why does running sndconfig get my Soundblaster 16 card recognized and up and running with the correct modules but destroys my Ethernet modules loaded by kerneld?
I have tried both my Intel Ether Express and SMC Ultra cards (not at the same time) and the same thing happens with both network cards as soon as sndconfig is run. Running the Kernel Daemon Configuration in X has no luck in getting the Ethernet module loaded again.
—Alan Kendall Red Hat
I'm not sure why it happens, but sndconfig basically just messes with /etc/conf.modules. You might want to back that file up, run sndconfig, backup the new file, and replace it with your old file. Then merge the sound config lines from the file sndconfig created into your original one. If that doesn't fix it, chances are you have hardware conflicts with your sound card and your Ethernet card. If you have further problems, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
—Donnie Barnes firstname.lastname@example.com
How do I set up openwin? I have a Trident 9750 card and a Cybervision C70 monitor, and I have tried numerous times using xf86config, but I cannot get it to work. I am relatively new to Linux. Thanks for all the help.
—Jim Brewer Slackware 3.4
You should try the latest XFree86-3.3.2 server. According to some Usenet discussions, the 9750 was not supported before 3.3.2.
—Pierre Ficheux firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm getting ready to install a version of Linux. I'm leaning toward Slackware because I'm told it's very powerful and not very fancy. I'm going for more of the learning factor by installing it.
Anyway, I was wondering if someone could basically explain the correlation between the different distribution names and the kernels. Are the kernels universal for all the distributions, or are they built separately? To what degree, if any, are they compatible? If they're not, I may take a look at the available software before I install any one version.
Thank you very much.
—Brian Crowe
Free software (in the sense of freedom) is developed by independent programmers or research groups, who donate it to the user community (sort of—authors do retain a copyright on the programs). A distribution is an independent effort to put together all of the needed software to build up a complete operating system with applications and all that's needed. Usually, distributors modify some of the original packages to suit their view of the overall system. The kernel is one of the first packages you update; they are all compatible.
At application level, there is a lot of standardization between the different distributions (thanks to the "Filesystem Hierarchy Standard", an accepted document), the only real difference being in the organization of their graphical tools to administer the system.
—Alessandro Rubini firstname.lastname@example.com
The distributions are built around the Linux kernel, but they each have their own way of doing installation, packaging and configuration. After one installs a particular distribution, they can download the newest kernel and install it themselves if necessary.
—Mark Bishop firstname.lastname@example.com
When doing an FTP install and encountering an FTP problem, the window with some detail of the problem is immediately overwritten by the FTP setup window. How do I determine the problem and attempt to fix it?
—Mike Newsome Red Hat 5.0
The FTP install tries to get each package twice. Once that fails, it errors out. Apparently the error window is getting overwritten with a new setup window.
In general, if you got an error like that, it means you lost your connection to the FTP server. There aren't many other "errors" that can occur in the FTP install. FTP installs are not recommended over crowded networks (i.e., the Internet), because it's getting impossible to reliably move 200+ MB of data without some sort of problem. Handling error conditions created by this situation during the install of a complete operating system is very difficult. The FTP install does work very well over local or semi-local networks where you are guaranteed at least some bandwidth.
—Donnie Barnes email@example.com
My notebook is using the CT65555 VGA chip set (2MB) with a 13.3-inch Active display (1024x768), and I can only get 1024x768 8-bit colour. How can I configure Red Hat to use 1024x768 16-bit colour?
—Corne Red Hat 5.0
First, edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config file and add another "Display" subsection to the "Screen" section. The subsection you add should look like this:
Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 Virtual 1024 768 EndSubsection
Then run X this way to tell it to use the 16-bit depth:
startx -- -bpp 16"

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Chaos causes polls to be postponed, but some say they are now being done properly.
ABUJA, Nigeria — The news seemed ominous: an election postponed after millions of voters had already cast their ballots. The vote rescheduled, and then postponed again. Tally sheets were missing and the fate of the marked ballots was unclear. Allegations of sabotage and cries of outrage came from the opposition.
Despite the chaos, this could actually be a major step forward for democracy in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa.
Nigeria, with a booming economy and cultural influence, sees itself as a leader on the continent and a candidate for a future permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. But its three general elections since the end of military rule in 1999 have been riddled with fraud and violence, a major embarrassment for the country and a source of mounting anger among fed-up voters.
The country's last general election, in 2007, was a disaster — European Union observers said it was among the worst they had ever witnessed, anywhere. The current elections come at a time of upheaval on the continent, with a disputed vote turned violent in Ivory Coast and a tide of protests against longtime authoritarian regimes in North Africa.
Nigeria has a chance to set an example in democracy, but it won't be easy.
"Nigerians are more vigilant now than they were in 2007 ... they are willing to take any measure to prevent electoral fraud."~Husaini Abdu, Nigeria director for ActionAid
"This election is a defining moment for Nigeria," said Oronto Douglas, one of President Goodluck Jonathan's top advisers.
"If we have elections that are less than credible, I don't know what will happen. There may be violence," said Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, a former government minister who now supports an opposition candidate.
Jonathan last year appointed a new electoral commissioner in an attempt to restore public faith in elections. Charged with the herculean task is Attahiru Jega, a respected academic with a reputation for being incorruptible. It was Jega who took the drastic step of calling off the election last Saturday when tally sheets and ballots failed to reach some of the 120,000 polling stations.
The parliamentary, presidential and gubernatorial elections have all been postponed; the voting will now be held on April 9, 16 and 26. On Thursday, about 15 percent of the parliamentary elections were pushed back even further, to April 26, because officials don't have ballots for the races.
While election observers expressed disappointment about the change of dates — especially since as many as 15 million ballots had already been cast, raising concerns about voter fatigue and the whereabouts of those ballots — they say that it is in fact a good sign that the election has been postponed. Previous elections might just have gone ahead with made-up ballots and results.
"This time they actually wanted to count the ballots," said one Western observer in the capital, Abuja.
Jega scrapped the old, inflated voter roll — which listed Nelson Mandela and Michael Jackson among its ranks — and put in place a $580 million voter registration system that relies on fingerprints and photographs. This sophisticated system was initially delayed by technical problems and other issues, and criticized for its cost, but has since been largely deemed a success, with 73 million people registered.
El-Rufai cites the case of a village in Kaduna, his home state, as an example of prior problems. An estimated 50,000 votes from Jankasa village were counted in the last election — but only 4,000 voters are officially registered according to the new biometric system.
"By the single act of fingerprint registration, Jega has eliminated the main method of vote-rigging," said El-Rufai.

Utah State University Visual Identity Program
A new university logo and visual identity program has been adopted. Implementation began August 25, 2008. The new program, reviewed and adopted by President Stan L. Albrecht, the university executive committee and USU Board of Trustees, outlines parameters for the proper use of its marks and symbols to guide our collective communication efforts.
A visual identity program provides specific guidelines to help users correlate and integrate communications university-wide. This program will result in a strong and focused image that will elevate Utah State University's position, prominence and recognition.
A visual identity program identifies an institution's brand mark and provides a process for ensuring that its mark is pervasively and properly used. A strong brand encapsulates the unique characteristics and traits of the institution it symbolizes. A brand's impact depends upon focused usage that is uniform, consistent and widely used. As we continually strive to provide students with exceptional high-quality programs, we must never underestimate the importance of our institutional identity.
This guideline provides use and directions for reproducing the university logo. In addition, it provides acceptable marks for secondary uses and includes the official university color palette, typography, stationery system and approval process for all university marketing communications.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments at 797-1358.
Thank you.
John DeVilbiss,
