Benefit Concert for Missing UW Student - Marizela Perez
( Special Event )
-- Posted 5/3/2011
Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=166045303451702
Event Commercial: http://youtu.be/DVr4m7l_h7c
Time: Sunday, May 8 ? 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Location: UW Ethnic Cultural Theater 3931 Brooklyn Ave Seattle, WA
On May 8th, 2011 6:30PM
Family members of missing University of Washington student, Marizela Perez,
will be holding a Benefit Open Mic Concert: Magiging Maayos at the Ethnic
Cultural Theater in hopes of further funding the search.
Magiging Maayos is Tagalog for "be well", which is part of the tattoo
Marizela Perez had on her arm. This concert will not only help fund raise
but also spread the idea that regardless of any one person's situation "all
will be well" and we will continue to spread this information in hopes it
reaches Marizela Perez and others who might need it.
Marizela Perez went missing Saturday, March 5th, 2011 and was last seen
2-3PM at the Safeway in the University District. It has been well over a
month and no news of her disappearance has surfaced. The funds raised in
this event will go directly into funding search teams, private
investigation, and spreading the news.
The concert will have live music, spoken word, dances, and different
speakers from the University of Washington Seattle Campus, but will also be
open to the audience if they want to perform or say a few words. There will
be a silent auction before and during the event with amazing art created by
Marizela herself. Other organizations will be selling different things and a
portion of their proceeds while help the Perez family. There will also be a
raffle.
Doors will open at 6:30PM
The show will start at 7:00PM
The price is a sliding scale of $5-$10.
On behalf of the Perez family, we hope that you can come to this event and
help support in any way possible or by inviting others to attend.

I have project in October I'm hoping to find 4 interested students to participate in.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is featuring global health as its theme for the annual Leadership Conference October 22-24th at Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum. (info on their website at www.seattlechamber.com)
I'm looking for 4 students experienced in video shooting and desktop editing who would be willing to come over on Thursday the 23rd and record the breakout discussion sessions that afternoon. The sessions run about 1.5 hours. We need the sessions cut down to a 2-3 minute "highlight reel" to show the next morning after the Governor speaks. The clips will not have narration; they will be compiled using natural sound and possibly some background music. They should be fast-paced and high energy.
We will cover your fuel costs as well as meals and hotel rooms (you will share with another student) at the resort. It's a terrific place and you'll get a nice addition to your resume.
Professor Domke is supportive of this and says Nika Pelc can help gather cameras and assist with editing configuration.
Students will need:
1. experience shooting video and desktop editing
2. a laptop that can be configured for editing
3. creativity and calm demeanor under pressure
4. transportation to get to eastern Washington (it's about an hour and 15 minutes from Seattle). We will reimburse fuel.
Those interested should write me at lcohen@wghalliance.org. If you have questions, you can reach me at work at 206-788-2463.

Media Coverage of US-Iran Relations with David Domke
( Special Event )
-- Posted 1/14/2008
Media Coverage of US-Iran Relations
Wading through the flood of news on Iran?
Wondering what it all means?
Join us for an evening of short lectures and conversation.
Professors Arzoo Osanloo and David Domke will provide critical
tools and knowledge you can use to make sense of news
coverage on Iran and US-Iran relations.
Professor David Domke
UW Department of Communication
“The United States news media missed the story on Iraq's
alleged weapons of mass destruction. When the Bush
administration touted the presence of such WMDs, U.S.
journalists passed along the message. Now, the Bush
administration is making the case that Iran is a threat that
must be contained and controlled. How are the news media
covering this line of argument by the administration? Are the
press more closely examining U.S.-Iran relations, and if so
what does this coverage look like? What might we expect in
coming months and years in U.S. news coverage?”
Professor Arzoo Osanloo
UW Department of Anthropology
The U.S. foreign policy program favoring regime change in
Iran mobilizes ‘women’s rights’ as a means to garner
domestic (U.S.) sympathy for intervention. However, the
day-to-day realities of Iranian women’s lives are often
misconstrued, and internal women’s rights movements are
neglected by outside observers. What are the effects of
international pressure on local Iranian women and on local
women’s rights movements? Given the anti-imperialist tenor
of the 1979 revolution and the centrality of women’s status
therein, what are the effects of contemporary discourses of
regime change that highlight women’s rights? Do such
efforts help or hurt internal reform movements?

This program has been moved back to February, with students arriving the evening of Saturday, February 16 and departing in the afternoon on Wednesday, February 20. The new deadline for applications is January 14. All applications that have been submitted are still valid submissions. Please notify programs@nationalpress.org if you must withdraw your application due to the change of date.
Like all NPF programs, this one is on-the-record with plenty of time for discussion. Eighteen all-expenses-paid fellowships are available to qualified college students. Fellowships include airfare (to $600), hotel and most meals. Demand for this program is high, so apply early.

'Crossing Borders - Issues & Resolutions'
United States - Canadian University Student Conference

Canada and the United States share one of the world's longest borders and are each others largest trading partners. Canada is America's largest supplier of crude oil, natural gas and electricity.

After arrival in Seattle on Thursday 6 March, the students will travel to the US-Canada border Port of Entry at Blaine WA / Surrey BC for presentations and tours organized by the Canada Border Services Agency and US Customs and Border Protection. Students will learn about the operations of both agencies and how they partner to secure the border against threats while expediting travel for legitimate trade and commerce. The day will conclude with a Welcome Dinner in Bellingham, Washington and return to Seattle.
On Friday 7 March the Conference will entail 4 panel presentations. Each panel will focus on an issue of importance to Canada and the United States and last 90 minutes. Each panel will have two teams. Each team will be composed of one American and one Canadian student. Each team will be tasked with researching, presenting and explaining the issue assigned (the American student will present the American position and the Canadian student will present the Canadian position). Each team will suggest a resolution / solution. A moderator and members of the audience will be invited to ask questions and / or challenge the presentations and resolutions of two teams. A team of judges will select the team deemed to have made the best presentation and proffering the most convincing resolution / solution. The day will conclude with an Awards Dinner.
STUDENT ELIGIBILITY / SELECTION

Students will be paired (one American and one Canadian for each of the 8 teams) and assigned their issue upon notification. Students are invited to work with their faculty advisors to see if this may qualify as an independent study to earn course credit.
TEAMS / ISSUES
The American students will present the American position and the Canadian students will present the Canadian position. Not personal opinions or beliefs! Each team will need to communicate and work together beforehand to organize their presentations and agree upon a resolution / solution.
The issues to be assigned will be one of the following:
