Hi, this is Bryan with College Sports Feed (CSF). CSF is the only college
sports blog by the fans, and for the fans on the web! CSF is a blogging
network and a pulse, strictly dedicated to college sports taking place on
college campuses across the nation, and we are recruiting for writers.
CSF is recruiting writers from campuses across the country to represent
their school. As a CSF Writer, their call is to provide the coverage and
insight into every sporting event that fans thirst for! This is an excellent
writing opportunity for your students, giving them the chance to develop
writing styles, expand their creativity, and be associated with our CSF
professional journalism staff. While building their professional resume,
they will also be promoting and building your school's spirit and excitement
on campus! Creating content for CSF will give them the edge and diversify
themselves in a competitive market. The fan driven platform of CSF will
foster creativity from writers, challenging them to create their best work.
CSF writers are required to post weekly. CSF writers owe it to our fans to
provide feedback of the game, discuss the who's who of players and coaching
staff, and discuss pre and post game outcomes. To this end, your students
will work directly with the CSF Journalism Staff to accomplish that mission
and publish their work surrounding the sporting events that involve your
campus. CSF Writers can post blog articles, videos, comment on other
articles on-line. These articles will also be shared using Facebook,
Twitter, and other social media networks on-line. At CSF, all sports are
created equal, making coverage of recognized and under-recognized sports a
place on a national stage.
We would like to offer this writing opportunity to all interested students
at your school. Please pass this e-mail directly onto all students that
would have interest. The attached PDF could be forwarded via email, and may
also be printed to post as a flyer. Those interested students can email me
directly at bryan@collegesportsfeed.com.
In addition, CSF offers a Campus Rep Program. This internship opportunity
will also allow students to gain experience utilizing a variety of marketing
tactics including: gorilla marketing, product sampling, online promotions,
and social networking. CSF Campus Reps will create valuable communication
skills promoting the excitement that exists around college athletics on your
campus! For more information, please send an email to

The Daily and UWTV are working together on a new show called the Daily's Double Shot and we need people who have opinions, love to defend them and
aren't afraid to do it on TV We're recruiting for a segment called The
Good, the Bad and the Rad that features three panelists discussing current
topics and deeming them Good, Bad, or sometimes, totally Rad.
This is a new show coming out this Friday, its a collaboration
between UWTV and The Daily. My co-producer and I work on a segment of the
show which featured unscripted student discussion on various new topics. We
need people who are up-to-date on current events, confident public speakers,
and hopefully entertaining. I'm hoping some people in the COM department
will be intrigued and come on the show as panelists. It's a great
opportunity to go behind the scenes on a tv production!

quarter; a daily market; and lively nightlife. Many attractions in France
and Spain are only a short train ride away. Students will share studios in a
modern apartment-hotel and take French and multimedia classes at the ALFMED
language school in the heart of the old city. Students will study various
aspects of multimedia with a particular emphasis on video storytelling and

(Study Abroad )
Certificate in Trans-Atlantic Studies (CTAS)
at the University of Bath (UK)
Fall 2010
The Certificate in Trans-Atlantic Studies (CTAS) is a unique program
designed for UW students interested in sharing the experience of exploring

We currently have an opening for a paid intern in the area of media and
public relations. We are a technology company that emerged from the halls
of UW in 2007 (we are all UW Alumni) and we currently have 3 paid interns
from the Information School. We are working with some very exciting social
media and artificial intelligence technologies and are becoming a growing
concern in the automotive industry. The ideal candidate will have
experience writing press releases and will be a passionate brand
evangelist. There will be opportunities to get published in a leading trade
publication as well. The position is open immediately and we will fill it
ASAP. Interested candidates can send a resume to me at this email address.
The position would involve writing articles for trade publications, drafting
press releases and producing other creative content for informational and
marketing materials. The position is paid, would require 20 hours per week,
and would be overseen directly by me. (Before launching the company, I
taught a 400 level course for the Information school and TA'd for 4 or 5
quarters while I was a student.) Ideally, the student would have a
professor they have worked with who is willing to sponsor the credits
portion of the internship; alternatively, I can refer them to a colleague
who would likely be willing. Specific information about the company can be
found at: http://www.autoferret.com and interested students should email
their resume to me at this email address.

Both an internship and a study abroad experience: The Washington Center offers a combination of the two with our Intern Abroad Programs in London, Oxford, and Sydney.
Our programs are different than traditional intern abroad programs in
several ways.
1. Support: We work closely with students from the time they apply until
after they've arrived home. We assist them in obtaining their visas, set up
group flights and even send a staff member abroad with them.
2. Preparation: Our program begins with ten days in the U.S. capital. During
the D.C. seminar, we help students to understand experiential learning, form
goals, and explore several topics they'll continue to study while abroad.
Themes may include, for example, immigration, political economy,
homelessness, regional economics and trade, or history, architecture and
public spaces. Comparisons between the destination city and D.C. will be
encouraged. Students depart Washington prepared to begin their time abroad
with background knowledge and purpose.
3. Established Arrangements: The Washington Center, now in its 35th year,
has developed affiliations with hundreds of colleges and universities around
the country. We've been able to establish credit and fee arrangements with
many institutions and have designated faculty or staff liaisons on campus,
making it easier for students to participate. To find out whether your
school is affiliated, please contact us.
To supplement our main Intern Abroad website at:
www.twc.edu/internabroad
we've recently created a homepage containing resources that will help you
promote these programs to your students. Tools available include a
comprehensive information sheet, downloadable budget worksheets, acceptance
guides for each program and more! To access the website, please visit:
sites.google.com/site/internabroadinfokit
We welcome your suggestions for additional content. If you have any
questions please feel free to be in touch with me.

This course treats advanced forms of science and technology writing for upper division undergraduate and graduate students, and provides an opportunity for students to develop articles that may be considered for publication in Northwest Science & Technology online magazine.
We compare and contrast the structure of the news feature to other
forms of nonfiction articles that are used to present technical content to
diverse audiences. Specifically, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the
narrative form and examine several award-winning examples. The course provides an overview of other genres, including profile and review.
Students research and write a news feature with narrative lead as well as an article using one of the other forms treated in the class;
drafts are critiqued by classmates in writing clinics.
The ultimate goal is to be able to exercise deliberate selection and control of structure and style in science writing appropriate for the content, context, and communication goal. Students keep a writing journal throughout the quarter as a tool to develop ideas and techniques, and they write a query letter--a specialized form of proposal used to present a story idea to an editor.
Prerequisites: At least upper division standing; preparation to undertake advanced writing and interviewing assignments; and permission of instructor. Email requests for the entry code to the instructor, including a brief statement of current course of study, level, and previous writing/interviewing experience. illman@u.washington.edu

I need a journalism intern who has a car and can begin work right away on a couple of special projects we are doing. Some of the work is in Burien and some in Granite Falls. The intern will be paid about $1,000 for this work. The projects will cover a time-frame of a couple of months, but not as steady work. The combined work will probably add up to about three weeks or so, depending on a variety of factors including the ability of the intern. The project are advertising supported with editorial material around the ads.

stay alive.
You can change this.
Nourish International is inviting you to play a leading role in creating
solutions to global poverty by applying for our Chapter Founders Program.

organization. Over the summer, students travel abroad to a local community
to implement their chosen project as a tangible solution to poverty.
Whether it's motivating their peers to action or working cross culturally to
build more efficient chicken coops in Tanga, Tanzania, students like you are
using their creative abilities to make an impact. You could do something
similar; all you have to do is:
* Apply to be a Chapter Founder ? Between now and February 21stNourish is
accepting applications for its Chapter Founders Program. This spring,
we'll be selecting student leaders from campuses across the country to
receive professional training, support and $500 start-up capital. To
start your application, click here.
* Tell a friend ? If Nourish isn't the right opportunity for you, you can
still help accomplish our mission of eradicating global poverty.
Spreading the word to just three people drastically raises our chances
of finding the right student on your campus. Nominate a friend now by
clicking here.
To apply, get more information or nominate a friend, go to

ARGENTINA FUTBOL CLUB - INTERNSHIP POSITIONS
AiO Media is in need of three students in search of an opportunity to work in the film industry by playing vital roles in the distribution of a highly competitive documentary film.
AiO Media is a Seattle and New York-based media group that has just finished the final cut of a full-length film with the Buenos Aires, Argentina-based Indigo Arts Media. The film is entitled “Argentina Futbol Club (AFC).”
For over 100 years, two of Argentina’s most storied Futbol Clubs, Boca Juniors and River Plate, have clashed on the filed, in the streets and in the media to establish their supremacy. Since their modest beginnings, the two clubs have met year after year in an epic battle, which the people of Argentina as well as fans around the world watch anxiously with uncompromising devotion.
Boca vs. River, one of many eternal rivalries -the basis for understanding the unique relationship that exists between Futbol and Argentine society, and the story our film documents.
Our intern positions involve film festival relations, distribution, programming / IT, and marketing / advertising. All positions will work closely with the Seattle-based producers and responsibilities for the 3 positions will overlap. It is vital that all potential interns have experience not only in the responsibilities sought for each post, but possess strong communication skills and the ability to work with a group.
1. FILM FESTIVAL RELATIONS
Position Description:
This position will be responsible for mapping selected festivals, maintaining communications, and building the corresponding profiles for entry of and competition for the documentary. Profiles will include summary of each festival ranging from dates and fees, to genre categories, and exposure. It is possible that this intern will represent AiO at the film festivals - should the opportunity call for it.
2. PUBLIC RELATIONS & DISTRIBUTION
Position Description:
This position will focus on the building of our local, state, regional, and countrywide network to create a means to promote the film one theater at a time. Distribution techniques range from free DVD releases and parties, to corporate sponsorship. The primary responsibility of this position will be to get the documentary viewed and into the hands of the right people who can push the project within the industry. It is possible that this intern will accompany us in representing AiO at industry events should the opportunity arise.
3. PROGRAMMING AND I.T.
Position Description:
This requires a skill set that ranges from graphic design to network management. Mastery of the following computer language skills and programs are important: CSS, HTML, PHP, FLASH, Photoshop, etc. This position will be responsible for developing promotional posters, website modification, and general design and website maintenance. Creativity is a must, as this post will be responsible for advancing the overall branding of the project, and the general direction of the website.
Number of hours per week:
The number of hours per week is really up to you. We expect at least 10 to 20 hours per position per week for approximately 3 months. If you choose to put in extra hours, good for you, as it will undoubtedly pay off in the end. We are hoping to retain any number of you after the internship runs its course. This is solely dependent on how the review process goes throughout the internship and the value added that you bring to the table.
Unpaid positions:
The positions are currently unpaid. We HIGHLY encourage students to use this opportunity to obtain course credit. It is important to note that you will have REAL responsibilities, which equate to REAL professional experience to help you in your career development. Moreover, AiO is currently in the process of developing several project proposals, and will be looking for potential paid staff for future projects.
Application instructions:
Please send your resume and a quick blurb explaining the position you are interested in and why to Ben and Gavin at intern.post@aiomedia.com. Feel free to contact us with related questions.

Journalism Scholarships
Four scholarships totaling $8,000 are being offered by the Western Washington Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. The $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to undergraduate students majoring in journalism or communications at two-year or four-year colleges in the state of Washington. Awards are for the 2010-2011 school year.
Applicants need not be members of SPJ but must intend to pursue a journalism career. A panel of journalists will review scholarship applications. Scholarship winners will be notified in May. They are encouraged to attend our annual Excellence in Journalism awards banquet, when the scholarships are formally announced. This year, the event will be on May 22 at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue.
The deadline this year is tighter than usual. The reason is the SPJ board wanted to continue this year, as we have the past several years, to offer four general scholarships. We made this decision because we know that due to the economic downturn, many students need financial assistance more than ever. However, due to the number of applications we receive, we need ample time to review and evaluate each request.
Please send the following in a single packet so that it is postmarked by March 1, 2010. Applications received prior to the deadline are appreciated. It gives the review committee more time to review the submitted materials. Please send the materials to:
Sharon Salyer
The Herald
Box 930
Everett, WA 98203
ATTN: SPJ Scholarships
Required information:
Please send the following in a single packet so that it is postmarked by March 1, 2010:
1. A letter of application, including a succinct answer to the question: “Why have you have chosen a journalism career and what do you hope to accomplish after college?” (500 words maximum)
2. A copy of your resume, including current address, e-mail, phone number, what year of college you are in, your major, what year you plan to graduate and your hometown.
3. A letter of recommendation (i.e., from a college professor or a work supervisor). Enclose it in a separate envelope in your packet. Please have the person writing the letter of recommendation include her or his phone and e-mail contacts.
4. An official transcript of all your college credits.
5. No more than three work samples (clips, audio or video).
6. You may include a statement of unusual financial need.
NOTE: Incomplete and late applications will not be considered.

New communications organization for Climate Change / Clean Energy
(Other )
For students, communication / presentation professionals, who might assist local experts at the Program on Climate Change (PCC) for instance.
The Cost of Energy
The Rochester Project is an attempt to bridge one of the two critical gaps
inherent in our climate change challenge, namely the gap between what
climate scientists know and what everyone else knows. In our increasingly
polarized world, this gap, combined with the poor outreach skills of ?our
side?,
allows delayers and deniers to slow down and often halt the spread of
information from experts to lay people. Given the urgency of our
environmental situation, this is an exceedingly dangerous situation.
The primary activity of The Rochester Project will be to couple scientists
writing about climate issues for a mainstream audience with presentation
experts?writers, artists, and web site and multimedia experts?who can help them
greatly increase the accessibility and effectiveness of their work.
The impetus for this project came from a call for input from James Hansen
regarding the document he co-authored, ?If it?s that warm, how come it?s so
damned
cold?? [PDF of current version]. This struck me as the clearest example one
could imagine of why this second gap, the one between what scientists know
and what ?the rest of us? know is so large. James Hansen is arguably the top
climate scientist in the world, and the document he helped write addressed a
very topical and important issue, yet I could not imagine any of my
neighbors getting past the first page. It was written in a style that
reflects the authors? narrow and very deep backgrounds, backgrounds which
contain a wealth of experience in communicating with their highly trained
peers but not nearly enough in working with lay people. It violated the most
basic rule of communication: Know your audience.

CHID Summer Study Abroad information sessions
(Study Abroad )
Bosnia/Croatia/Serbia, Viet Nam and Prague summer programs
sponsored by the Comparative History of Ideas Program at UW
* Open to all majors * Fed. Financial Aid applies * No language requirement
*
Information Sessions in C-101 Padelford Hall
Bosnia/Croatia/Serbia ? Tuesday, 1/26 at 2:30
Viet Nam ? Monday 1/25 at 2:30 and Weds 1/27 at 1:30
Prague, Czech Republic ? Wednesday 1/27 at 2:30
Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia and EU Integration
http://depts.washington.edu/chid/showprogram.php?id=99
Outsiders have viewed the Balkans as a zone where religious and cultural
differences breed sectarian violence and where competition between empires
East and West compounds instability and conflict.
Five previous programs in the Balkans and recent scholarship on the region,
offers an alternative account, of religious and cultural coexistence as the
norm through much of the region during the early modern period and in the
former Yugoslavia after World War II. If peace has sometimes broken down
along religious and ethnic lines, the peace has often held across them in
spite of great power competition and interventions.
Through close study of the Yugoslav conflict and of the post war peace in
Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH), and Serbia, we will ask ourselves how best to
understand Balkan myths and realities and where they shed light on why at
times the peace has held and at others has broken.
Vietnamese Modernities: Global Activism, Visual Culture & Education
http://depts.washington.edu/chid/showprogram.php?id=98
The Vietnamese Modernities Program offers students linguistic, academic and
applied training in Vietnam. Participants receive Vietnamese language
training, a practicum experience, and an in-depth understanding of
contemporary Vietnam from the perspective of cinema, the fine arts,
humanities and interpretative social sciences.
Students reside in the historically rich, cosmopolitan capital city of
Hanoi, and take part in several excursions including Ha Long Bay, Hoi An in
Central Vietnam and the southern metropolitan area of Ho Chi Minh City.
This program is organized, directed and taught by Professor Jonathan Warren
- an Associate Professor in the Jackson School of International Studies who
has directed study abroad programs to Brazil and Vietnam for over seven
years.
Discourses of Change: Continuities and Transformations in Central and
Eastern Europe
Prague, Czech Republic
http://depts.washington.edu/chid/showprogram.php?id=97
The Summer 2010 CHID Study Abroad Program in Prague, Czech Republic explores
the dramatic social, cultural and political transformations of the 20th
century in Central and Eastern Europe. The 15-credit program surveys Central
and Eastern European history, politics, art and film, examining such themes
as resistance to authoritarianism, gender equality and human rights,
nationalism and ethnic violence, globalization and environmental justice,

Exploration Seminar - Argentina with Prof. Fearn-Banks
(Study Abroad )
Professor Kathleen Fearn-Banks would like to have some communication
majors in her Exploration Seminar "Communication and Culture in Buenos
Aires" to be held for 4 weeks between summer and fall quarters this year.
The course is open to all majors but is especially significant to
communication majors because of points of interests.
The 2009 class visited the following: the U.S. Embassy and learned about
the communications tasks of the embassy and jobs there; Edelman Public
Relations, one of the largest international public relations firms; the
editor of the Buenos Aires Herald, who is determined to keep his paper
from being a government mouthpiece; a television news station where they
saw a newscast; a popular radio show among young adults stressing music
and politics; and a radio show about corporate social responsibility. A
Porteno took the group on a drive to see where the wealthiest and the
poorest people live, the latter not easily seen by tourists. Students in
the 2010 group will have similar experiences.
Other information can be obtained from "Exploration Seminar" on the UW
website. Click on "programs" and then "argentina"
Please visit the course webpage for more detailed information roivide by
ast year's class: http://www.com.washington.edu/argentina/
Course highlights...
Communications & Culture in Buenos Aires
2010 Exploration Seminar in Argentina
Program Director: Kathleen Fearn-Banks , Communications
Dates of Instruction: August 23 to September 22, 2010
Argentina has a vibrant cultural life and a distinctive and unique style.
European and American influences are apparent in its architecture, art,
music, films and cuisine. It also has a diverse population with
interesting class cultures as well as women's issues.
The essential point of the class is to observe the culture of Portenos
(people of Buenos Aires) with an eye for how culture and communications
intersect; how culture affects communication and conversely how
communication affects culture. Students may pursue a study related to
their major or in something that interests them.
Students in 2009 were most excited about their partnering with students at
the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (UADE). After a first-night
dinner with UADE students, UW students were assisted with academic and
professional research as well as social partners who showed them places of
entertainment.
No more than half of the 30-day period will be spent on organized tours
and visits. The balance of the stay will be determined by each student and
his/her interests. Some of the fun and cultural aspects will include the

Paid Participants/Annotators Needed for Automatic Cough Detection Research
(Other )
My name is Sean Liu. I am a PhD student in the Dept of Computer Science and
Engineering at the University of Washington. I am part of a UW research team
conducting a research project on automatic cough detection. In sum, we are
trying to develop an algorithm to detect cough episodes from a continuous,
ambulatory audio recording using a mobile phone in a real-world setting.
Current tools for cough assessment are either subjective (0-5 scoring
system) or over-instrumented (wear specialized equipment on the body). This
work will make cough assessment a much easier task and help health
professionals conduct research on cough with less effort.
We are recording a large database of cough/non-cough sounds in varying
environments and looking for:
1) Participants: They will carry 2 mobile phones which we provided, go back
to their daily routines and have all sounds(cough/non-cough) recorded. They
have to be above 18 years old and cough on a daily basis for the week
preceding enrollment. They will be paid $10/hour. Some more information
could be found here:
http://ubicomplab.cs.washington.edu/wiki/Cough-study-info
2) Annotators: They will listen to the audio recordings and help us to label
the "type" of each part of the audio recordings. For example, 1:20 - 1:22 is
a cough, laughter, speech, silent, or anything else. We will provide a
software tool to help them achieve this. They will be paid $12/work hour.
Some more information could be found here:
http://ubicomplab.cs.washington.edu/wiki/Cough-study-annotator
If you are interested in participating in this study as a participant or an
annotator, or would like more information about the study, please contact us
at cough-study@cs.washington.edu or contact me (sysliu@cs.washington.edu)
directly.
Thanks you for considering participation in our study.
Sincerely,
Sean

JTNews, the Jewish community newspaper for Washington State, and its partner
site jew-ish.com seek a budding web developer intern to help in rebuilding
our news and events sites. We currently use a PHP-based content management
system that would need some tweaks with the integration of our design into
HTML. The appropriate intern would have some knowledge of XHTML/CSS (or
strong desire to bone up on skills) and knowledge of CMSs and tags, with
some programming involved, to make the project complete.
For further information, contact editor Joel Magalnick at editor@jtnews.net.

Fitz Cahall (?02), The Dirtbag Diaries
After graduation, Fitz Cahall worked as a freelance outdoor writer for a variety of publications. His dream was to bring his journalism training to rock climbing and outdoor sports. Over the years, he collected interesting stories about regular people that magazines did not want to publish. I was getting harder and harder to sell his stories, so he jumped into the world of new media with the 2007 launch of his podcast on climbing. He thought he might get a few hundred hits on his site, and instead saw thousands of downloads pretty quickly. Several sponsors later, he now has a radio show and will soon begin a web television show. Read more about Cahall at www.dirtbagdiaries.com.
Laura Paulou (?06), WWish
Laura Paulou is founder of the interactive online magazine WWish. While attending Wenatchee Valley College, Paulou founded and served as editor-in-chief of the student newspaper. Because of her grades and her achievements, she was awarded a full scholarship from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, giving her the opportunity to attend the University of Washington. She made the Dean?s list and graduated with a BA in Journalism in 2006. Laura was inspired to create WWISH, with a mission to help women move out of crisis, because of the personal adversity she overcame in her own life. Read more about WWISH and Laura?s personal journey.
Lucas Mack (?04), 4th Avenue Media
Starting out in public relations at the University of Washington, Lucas Mack worked side by side with sports columnists and sports broadcasters from around the Northwest. From there he took a job at KOMO TV, as the Audience Coordinator for the live talk show Northwest Afternoon. He moved to eastern Washington as a reporter for the NBC affiliate, where he fell in love with storytelling. His next stop brought him to the Lone Star State reporting for the FOX affiliate in San Antonio as their Feature Reporter, hosting his own live segment. In 2008, Lucas co-founded 4th Avenue Media to give clients the unique opportunity to tell their story by a broadcast journalist.
The Common Language Project
The Common Language Project (CLP) is a nonprofit multimedia production house that reports news from around the world about people affected by key social issues. The project is housed in the UW Department of Communication and has a core staff of young journalism and political science graduates from Hunter College and New School University.

"Social Justice, Labor and the Economy in Mexico"
Earn 5-6 credits this summer while spending three weeks in beautiful,
colonial Oaxaca, Mexico!
Oaxaca dates: June 28-July 16
UW Bothell classes: June 22 & 24, 5:30-8:30pm
Attend an information session at UW Bothell:
Tues, Jan 26, 3:30pm, UW1?041
Tues, Feb 9, 5:00pm, UW2?140
Wed, Feb 17, 3:30pm, UW1?041
PRIORITY APPLICATION DEADLINE: MARCH 1, 2010
"Social Justice, Labor and the Economy in Mexico" takes an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of social movement and is appropriate for
students from a wide variety of backgrounds. Undergraduate and graduate
students at all three UW campuses are eligible to participate.
A beautiful, craft and culture rich region, Oaxaca became the center of
international attention after a 2006 strike by the province?s teachers. The
strike precipitated a police crackdown in which the strikers were evicted
from the Zocalo (center square). That was followed by a larger uprising
which resulted in a seven month?long occupation of the city center by
coalition of indigenous and working peoples which took the name of the
Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO). Calm has returned,
allowing us to use these events as a fulcrum from which to pursue the larger
social and economic processes at work in Oaxaca and in Mexico.
Our course provides a crucial link towards understanding not only the
process of economic development abroad, but also in understanding
several key US policy concerns. We?ll pay special attention to the questions
of labor, organization, indigenous peoples and culture, migration,
globalization, economic development, and the challenges of neo?liberalism.

My name is Zachary Fraser. I am the general manager the Walla Walla Sweets,
of an expansion team in the West Coast League, a summer collegiate wood-bat
baseball league that features a full season of professional baseball
prospects playing throughout the Pacific Northwest. In addition to the top
baseball players from universities and colleges in Washington, Idaho, and
Oregon, we bring top players from conferences such as the Big XII, the SEC,
the Big East, the ACC, the PAC-10, the Mountain West, the Big West, and the
West Coast Conference (among others).
The Sweets are an expansion franchise in Walla Walla, WA. We are owned in
part by Seattle native John Stanton, former MLB All-Star Jeff Cirillo, and
other prominent business leaders who have deep connections to Walla Walla,
the Pacific Northwest, and to the opportunities that collegiate baseball
provides to athletes - both in terms of their opportunity to pursue dreams
of playing professional baseball, as well as their ability to finish their
education at quality four-year institutions. As part of this venture, we
have contracted with 1490 KTEL (in Walla Walla, WA) to broadcast all 60
games (home and away) live and simulcast the games on our website,
www.wallawallasweets.com.
I am seeking a quality student broadcaster who would like the opportunity to
spend their summer internship as the lead broadcaster for the team. Basic
responsibilities would include:
1. Handling all play-by-play responsibilities, both at home and on the
road ? traveling with the team throughout the summer to produce a
professional broadcast
2. Acting as the primary point of contact for media relations, writing
and issuing press releases, statistical updates, and other functions
commonly tied to media relations
3. Helping manage and promote multimedia platforms such as the team
website to communicate progress and news of the franchise to our publics
4. Write regular stories and updates for traditional and e-publishing
5. Be an active member of a vibrant and growing front office, gaining
hands-on professional experience towards a career in sports broadcasting &
media
6. The student will be provided a host family, per diem and hotel when
the team is on the road, and will need to be in Walla Walla from May 24,
2010 through August 17, 2010.
As a team that is owned by people from the Pacific Northwest, and with the
wealth of quality communications programs in the Pacific Northwest, I wanted
to share this opportunity with you in order to find the best way to
communicate it to potential students. While we will find the best student to
fill this position, I would prefer that it is someone that has an emotional
tie to the region and understands the unique culture of the communities they
will be visiting.
I have posted the job here: http://wallawallasweets.com/club/jobs/.
Students can apply by emailing their resume to info@wallawallasweets.com.
Please email me or call me (my contact information is below) if you have
questions about this internship. As a former communications major with an
emphasis on broadcast journalism myself (at Utah Valley University, ?05), I
have attempted to create an internship that would achieve the goals of a
unique opportunity with real ?hands-on? experience.

Border Stylo is looking for stellar personalities!
We?re a rapidly growing internet start-up that?s ready to shift some paradigms,
and we want you to be a part of it.
We?re assembling a team of Campus Catalysts who will help champion our new web
product, Glass, on campuses across the US. (It?s so new, we haven?t even
announced it yet. So if you get the job, you?ll be one of the first to even
know of its existence and what it is.)
We want those creative thinkers and doers who love new technology and
keeping ahead of the curve. The perfect candidate is also hungry for
top-notch, real-world experience.
Since you?ll be working from your couch and your campus, you should be
responsible, detail-oriented, outgoing, creative and curious. You?ll be one of
the first people in the world to get an invite to Glass and you?ll be out
there sharing it with others and getting feedback as well. This is great
training for those interested in technology, start-ups, marketing,
advertising, business, people who just like access to things before everyone
else, and people who like legitimately cool things.
As a Catalyst you will receive plenty of perks, including:
? Real-world experience and responsibility (No grunt work?we aren?t fans of those
internships that just give you filing or ask you to fetch coffee. We want
you to learn, too.)
? The inside scoop on Glass while we?re in stealth mode
? Invitation codes to hand out during the private Beta phase*
? Catalyst Gear that only people in the company get
? Swag to share
? The potential for an all-expense paid trip to meet the founders and
Catalysts from other colleges (Our offices are pretty nice, if we do say so
ourselves)
Procrastinators need not apply, as you will be supervising yourself most of
the time. (We believe you should be treated as adults.) Being a Catalyst
only requires 6-8 hours of work per week that can be completed from your
couch or on your campus, this includes regular communication with our
College Outreach Coordinator via email or phone.
To apply for this internship, please send us your resume to
catalyst@borderstylo.com. Please put your school and name in the subject
line of your email. No faxes please! (We?re an internet company?) And, if you
want, include some interesting details about yourself as to why we should
hire you, we?ll read those too.

Summer Programs: Bosnia/Croatia/Serbia - Viet Nam - Venice - Prague
(Study Abroad )
Students from all areas of study are invited to apply for one of the summer
study abroad programs sponsored by the UW Comparative History of Ideas
Program. These are all full-time (12-15 credit) programs with no minimum
GPA or language requirement. You can maintain your Financial Aid and
residency status while making the world your classroom. And the CHID office
will make it easy for you.
We will accept applications for our programs in Bosnia/Croatia/Serbia, Viet
Nam, Venice or Prague until February 12, or until the programs are full.
Please come by one of our information sessions! More information is below.
Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia and EU Integration
http://depts.washington.edu/chid/showprogram.php?id=99
Info sessions Tuesday, January 19th at 3:30 & Tuesday, January 26th at 2:30
In Padelford C-101
Outsiders have viewed the Balkans as a zone where religious and cultural
differences breed sectarian violence and where competition between empires
East and West compounds instability and conflict.
Five previous programs in the Balkans and recent scholarship on the region,
offers an alternative account, of religious and cultural coexistence as the
norm through much of the region during the early modern period and in the
former Yugoslavia after World War II. If peace has sometimes broken down
along religious and ethnic lines, the peace has often held across them in
spite of great power competition and interventions.
Through close study of the Yugoslav conflict and of the post war peace in
Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH), and Serbia, we will ask ourselves how best to
understand Balkan myths and realities and where they shed light on why at
times the peace has held and at others has broken.
Vietnamese Modernities: Global Activism, Visual Culture & Education
http://depts.washington.edu/chid/showprogram.php?id=98
Info sessions Monday, January 18th at 4 & Wednesday, January 27th at 1:30
In Padelford C-101
The Vietnamese Modernities Program offers students linguistic, academic and
applied training in Vietnam. Participants receive Vietnamese language
training, a practicum experience, and an in-depth understanding of
contemporary Vietnam from the perspective of cinema, the fine arts,
humanities and interpretative social sciences.
Students reside in the historically rich, cosmopolitan capital city of
Hanoi, and take part in several excursions including Ha Long Bay, Hoi An in
Central Vietnam and the southern metropolitan area of Ho Chi Minh City.
This program is organized, directed and taught by Professor Jonathan Warren
- an Associate Professor in the Jackson School of International Studies who
has directed study abroad programs to Brazil and Vietnam for over seven
years.
Venice: The Endangered Fantasy
http://depts.washington.edu/chid/showprogram.php?id=96
Info sessions Wednesday, January 20th at 2:30 & Thursday, January 21st at
1:30
In Padelford C-101
The CHID Venice program will consider the history and culture of Venice from
multiple perspectives through an exploration of its original foundations as
a site of refuge during the Gothic invasions of the 5th century, its
subsequent development as a maritime empire that survived until 1797, and
its continuing role as a world heritage site and unique tourist
destination. This program will provide an interdisciplinary approach to the
study of a singular urban site with a rich history but a fragile future in
terms of its core community and its threatened ecostructure.
Discourses of Change: Continuities and Transformations in Central and
Eastern Europe
Prague, Czech Republic
http://depts.washington.edu/chid/showprogram.php?id=97

Your nomination for participation will be done by NSE @ UW, with selection by
the host campus being completed in March. With placement rates of 97 percent,
our students can generally find a location to meet both their academic and
personal objectives.
Think about it. Visit http://www.nse.org. Talk with your parents, adviser, and
