If you are obsessed with iPods and Macs, TiVo, cell phones, HDTV, digital
cameras, MP3 players, and all other consumer electronics, we may have an
opportunity for you to intern at one of the Internet's top consumer electronics
blogs. Professional writing experience isn't necessary (though it can't hurt)
but what we really care about is that you can write about gadgets with wit,
concision, and authority.
We are looking to add a few more bloggers/writers to our very popular consumer
electronics and gadgets news and review site. If you want to make a name for
yourself while writing about the technology that you love, drop us a line.
The requirement here is strong aptitude and command of the English language.
Oh, and a passion for the subject matter is definitely a plus as well - you
must seriously love places like Amazon and Best Buy. You work from home - or
wherever else you have internet access - and make your own hours.
Here's what you need to send to apply:
Writing
* Three sample blog posts about current tech and consumer electronics news.
These sample posts can be about whatever you want, as long as they fit the
subject matter.We won't be using these on the site, we just want to get a sense
of how well you can do this stuff.
* Don't just send us stuff you wrote elsewhere, we're not asking for clips.
* Let your personality and wit shine through. We aren't looking for dry news
posts. Save that for the Times.
* Your favorite related gadgets (and why).
About You
* Your contact info.
* Have you done blogging before? If so, which platform(s) have you used?
How much time per week you can commit to blogging. If it's less than five hours
then you probably shouldn't bother. Be realistic, okay?
* Any other questions you may have about the gig.
* Oh, and no attachments or resumes. Just send the above info in the body of
your email. Please note that we will only review fully complete applications,
and remember to put the name of the position you're applying for in the title
of your email.

ABOUT COLLEGE PRO
College Pro Painters is a North American student painting company that offers residential painting services during summer months in local communities. Since 1971, we have been committed to providing our student franchise managers with a world-class leadership training program and small business management experience. We have painted over 250,000 homes, developed over 10,000 Franchise Managers, 100,000 Painters, and completed charity work and community service in every US state and Canadian province where we operate.
Since 2004, student franchise managers and general managers have participated in charity events and donated services equating to over $760,000 to improve community spaces and housing in underprivileged areas across Canada and the United States. Many of these charitable projects occur during our student manager’s spring breaks, and have resulted in improving the quality of life for many people. Our company’s core purpose ‘together, realizing potentials’ uniquely mentors and challenges students to become successful community leaders.
In 2006, we initiated a painter scholarship program. The “working for humanity” scholarship was created in February of 2006, and is awarded to 3 Painters each summer. The purpose of the scholarship is to send Painters to a third world country to volunteer their time so that they can help people in need. Furthermore, they can bring back their experience and learning to share with all of College Pro. It is important to College Pro to help our Painters learn and grow as well as help others in need.
Cross Cultural Solutions (CCS) is a non-profit organization that helps us facilitate the volunteer work. Once the Painter is selected, they simply get in touch with CCS and choose three things: First, when they want to go; secondly, where they want to go; and lastly what type of volunteer work they desire. College Pro Painters pays for all of their expenses with CCS, including their flight, meals and accommodation. We also pay for their wages that they will not be earning while away. That way they can still volunteer and make some money to go back to school in the fall.
In addition to the above, College Pro was a proud Gold sponsor and fund-raiser of Peter Oyler's Race Across America to support and raise funds for Kids Help Phone in Canada www.kidshelpphone.ca. Peter Oyler www.peteroyler.com is a multi-sport athlete and a seasoned adventure racer who competed in the race in June 2007, and plans to compete again in 2009. The Race spans over 3,100 mile from coast to coast in the US and Peter finished it in 11 days and 4 hours in 2007. We will again be a major sponsor for Peter and Kids Help Phone as he competes in 2009.
We have also partnered with a number of like-minded organizations: DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America—the High School Division; and Delta Epsilon Chi Association-the College Division), an international association of high school and college students studying marketing, management and entrepreneurship in business, finance, hospitality and marketing sales and service. We are also in partnership with SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) and their Canadian counterpart ACE, which is an international network of student, academic and business leaders who have made a commitment to create a better world with better leaders—individuals who have the ability and are willing to put forth the effort to make a meaningful contribution to their communities, and are working together to improve the lives of others. In addition, we have established partnerships with NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers), CEO (Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization), and PSE (Pi Sigma Epsilon—a professional sales organization for students).
We fervently believe in these organizations and feel that they too provide students with unmatched learning opportunities.

ABOUT THE MANAGER ROLE
College Pro provides students with exceptional management and leadership training that helps them to stand out NOW and in life after college. It’s Real Life, Right Now.
A College Pro Manager is a leader, an entrepreneur and a responsible business owner. We are currently selecting people across North America who have the drive, ambition, and commitment to succeed—and we teach them how to get there.
Our Franchise Managers have said:
• “I ran a business that employed 10 people and I was accountable for everything that we did. I know what it’s like to have people rely on me for a pay check.”
• “I developed and implemented a business plan. I successfully managed both school and my business.”
• “My marketing strategy generated leads and made it easier to sell services to my customers.”
• “I learned to communicate with customers and to deliver what I promised. I also had great customer feedback.”
• “I discovered who I really was, found my strengths and weaknesses, put myself through challenges, gained self-confidence, and learned to expect more from myself.”
Wouldn’t that sound really good in an interview? We have also provided a number of manager experience quotes within this packet, and can connect you directly with students who are and have been Franchise Managers with us.
Successful Managers can:
• Learn how to run a business
• Learn and use managerial and business skills that will serve them long after the summer ends in any future career
• Gain a proven track record and real world business experience
• Be financially rewarded for their hard work
• Have fun and build a lifelong network of like-minded people
We train and mentor our managers in all aspects of running their business; each manager works one on one with a coach who is responsible for helping him/her achieve success. We believe in learning by doing. Managers gain hands-on experience with:
• Serving customers: marketing, meeting, estimating, contracts, quality work
• Managing employees and painters: hiring, training, managing job sites
• Being responsible: collecting money, payroll, tracking profitability
What students can learn as a College Pro Franchise Manager will serve them long after the summer ends.
• Leadership and Communication
• Business Organization and Planning
• Financial Management
• Marketing and Sales
• Customer Relations
• Interviewing and Hiring
• Training and Coaching
We’ve spent more than 35 years teaching students to run successful businesses, and support all of our Franchise Managers with the skills, tools, and technology to help them succeed. Training leaders and managers to run effective small to medium-sized businesses is one of our core competencies.
Our training takes place on weekends during the winter and spring months so as not to interfere with the students’ school schedule. We follow up our classroom training with work in the field. Our full-time General Managers (who were all franchisees while they were students) work with our franchisees by going into the field on their first estimates to coach them, as well as visit the franchisees and painters in the field in the summer. On top of that, our franchise managers have weekly phone meetings with the GM to consult on their business.

Deadline to apply - Dec. 1
http://www.magazine.org/asme/index.aspx
Diana has an application at her desk or you can go to:
http://www.magazine.org/asme/index.aspx
The American Society of Magazine Editors sponsors a ten-week summer internship program for college juniors each year.
The internship program is intended for editorially oriented students. The emphasis is on editing magazines, and includes the performance under supervision of such tasks as handling reader mail, evaluating unsolicited manuscripts, researching articles, checking facts, proofreading, copy editing, interviewing, covering press conferences, and attending editorial meetings. At a number of magazines, there may also be reporting and writing opportunities, even a few bylines. Some interns have the opportunity to see how the circulation, advertising and other business departments of the magazine function.
The program begins with a two-and-a-half day orientation in New York, during which the interns get to know each other; hear from top editors and other magazine executives about magazine editing and publishing; and meet alumni of the program who talk about magazine jobs and living in and enjoying the city. A brief orientation meeting is also held in Washington, D.C. for interns assigned there.
During the program there are weekly luncheons where interns meet and visit with a varied group of editors and other magazine professionals..
Each intern is asked to submit a written report by the final day of the internship on his/her specific work experience, suggestions for the program, and comments on journalism education.

Sea Education Association - study the ocean
(Other )
Hello from Woods Hole and the Sea Education Association (SEA)! I will be
visiting UW on Wednesday, October 21 to speak with students about SEA
Semester programs (www.sea.edu). You can find me at an information table in
Vista Caf? (in Foege/BioGenome Building) from 11am-2pm, or email me if you
would like to meet at another time.
In case you are unfamiliar with SEA, we are an off-campus study program that
has educated undergraduates about the oceans since 1971. Each of the four
interdisciplinary SEA Semesters offers field-based experiences in marine and
environmental studies. Students of all majors begin ashore with academic
coursework in marine science, maritime studies, and practical seamanship.
They then complete a 3,000-mile ocean voyage aboard one of our sailing
research vessels. At sea, students are challenged to carry out independent
research while taking increasing responsibility for shipboard operations.
All programs carry 12-17 semester credits from Boston University, and
generous scholarships & financial aid packages are available.
My visit on Wednesday is a great chance for you to hear stories, see
pictures, ask questions, or just enjoy a cup of coffee (my treat!). Many UW
students have sailed with SEA in the past, and we hope to get more out on
the water soon! I look forward to hearing from you!
All the best,
SEA Semester Admission Counselor

Seattlepi.com - neighborhood blog
(Other )
My name is Vanessa Ho and I'm the community editor for seattlepi.com. One of
your undergrad students is doing an internship here and suggested that I
contact both of you.
I oversee a neighborhood blog program that features news and opinion by
volunteer writers in individual neighborhoods. So far, we have Queen Anne,
Belltown, Greenwood and South Lake Union. We're working on launching a blog
about the University District and would like to involve University of
Washington journalism students.
The goal of these blogs is to foster community engagement and connections,
and to be a place for news and conversation about neighborhoods. Unlike
traditional news outlets, the blogs are written by volunteers who write
about where they live and who use the latest media technologies - which is
why we think student participation is vital for any effort involving the
U-District.
At seattlepi.com, UW students would have a tremendous platform to showcase
their work and gain experience. We are one of the leading online news sites
in the country, with 3.5 million unique viewers and an average of 3.5
million page views a month.
To get a sense of our blog template, here are two of our neighborhood blogs:
www.insidebelltown.com and www.inqueenanne.com. To see where they live on
our front page, go to our site (www.seattlepi.com) and scroll down to a
block called "Neighborhood News."

If you're planning to take the GRE this fall, you might want to know about
U-District Test Prep's $99 1-day GRE course, a new way to give your application
the professional test prep edge without spending hundreds of dollars or hours.
As a local start-up, formed by experienced UW instructors, U-District Test Prep
can offer a deal that no other test prep company can match. For only $99, the
course covers everything on the test, including a complete math review. You
also get a free book of study materials and practice tests and a free
guaranteed follow-up tutoring session.
If you're thinking about just studying on your own and taking the test to see
how you do, take our course instead. It costs $51 less than having to take the
test again--and is also way more fun.
The next class is scheduled for October 25th. For more information, check out
the website at www.udistricttestprep.com or email info@udistricttestprep.com
with questions.

Re: Thomson Reuters editorial internships for the summer of 2010.
Our application deadline is December 1, 2010.
We accept ONLINE applications only. We will host interns in New York,
Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Toronto and Latin America (various
cities). Spanish or Portuguese is required for Latin America.
While many media companies have slashed intern programs or are not hiring
them when the internship is complete, we are growing. We took 14 interns in
the summer of 2009. One of those has been hired full-time and three more
have been extended beyond the 10-week program and have an excellent chance
of being hired. In 2008, we hired three from a class of 11 interns.
To find the job posting, applicants should go to the CAREERS section of
www.thomsonreuters.com, and in the JOB SEARCH bar, type JOURNALISM
INTERNSHIP or EDITORIAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.
For more information about what we look for in interns, go to the STUDENT
CENTER of the CAREERS section of the web site, the BACHELORS AND MASTERS
DEGREE section and look under AMERICAS JOURNALISM SUMMER INTERNSHIPS.
If you have further questions about the program, please contact Greg
McCune, Internship Coordinator; Jane Light, Americas Training Manager; or
Theresa Lee, Editorial Recruiter, at the emails above.

We look for the following in applications/applicants: well-written cover letter,
detail-oriented, prior work experience, references who can speak to writing
skills and conscientiousness/level of detail, strong GPA and
extracurriculars, and good organization skills.
****EDITORIAL INTERNSHIP POSTING BELOW!****
Seattle Metropolitan magazine is currently seeking smart and outgoing
interns for our editorial department located in Seattle, Washington. The
position requires a minimum of 20 hours a week in 4 to 5 hour stints. We are
flexible with student schedules during the academic year.
Our winter-spring internship will start January 11, 2010, and end June 4,
2010. The internship is unpaid; students may take the internship for college
credit.
Applications for internships will be accepted until all positions are
filled. We also accept applications on a rolling basis for summer and fall.
Interns must be located in the Seattle area.
Editorial interns are responsible for fact-checking, primary research and
reporting for our events listings, assisting editors with feature story
projects such as our annual ?Best Doctors,? ?Real Estate Guide,? Best Places
to Work,? and ?Holiday Shopping,? articles, participating in team
brainstorming meetings, and assisting with some administrative tasks.
When interns have proved successful on shorter writing assignments, they may
have the opportunity to contribute to and write departments and features. We
want our interns to walk away with strong clips that they have earned.
The ideal candidate will be working toward a bachelor?s degree in English
literature, journalism, publishing, or creative writing. Our internship
candidates also commonly have previous editorial experiences (at school
newspapers, journals, magazines, etc.), strong interests in magazine
writing, and the ability to juggle several assignments at once.
To apply, send a cover letter, r?sum?, three references, and writing samples to:
Ariana Donalds, Managing Editor
Seattle Metropolitan magazine
1201 Western Ave, Suite 425
Seattle, WA 98101

your emailed application.

****WEB INTERNSHIP POSTING BELOW!****
Seattle Metropolitan magazine is currently seeking smart and outgoing web
interns for our editorial department located in Seattle, Washington. The
position requires a minimum of 20 hours a week in 4 to 5 hour stints. We are
flexible with student schedules during the academic year.
Our winter-spring web internship will start January 11, 2010, and end June
4, 2010. The internship is unpaid; students may take the internship for

management system; writing and fact-checking original content for the site,
including blogs and events listings; assisting editors in conceptualizing
and executing web exclusives such as slide shows and video/audio content;
participating in team brainstorming meetings; and assisting with some
administrative tasks.
Interns have the opportunity to write for the magazine as needed and pitch
stories for the magazine, but their primary job function is to administer
our website, which is updated daily. Interns proving successful on shorter
writing assignments may have the opportunity to contribute to and write
departments and features for the magazine.
Web interns should be web savvy, but not web obsessed. We?re looking for
self starters that bring a keen interest in the city to the table.
Demonstrated interest in a range of cultural topics, especially food and
drink, arts and culture, current news and events, is a plus. We value a
willingness to pitch in, detail-oriented thinking, diligent fact checking,

degree in English literature, journalism, or creative writing. Our
internship candidates also commonly have previous editorial experiences (at
school newspapers, journals, magazines, etc.), strong interests in magazine
writing, and the ability to juggle several assignments at once. Experience
with InDesign, Photoshop, and content management systems is helpful but not
required.

Conducting Research Responsibly-Oct. 21
1pm in MGH 389
THE IMPORTANCE OF CONDUCTING RESEARCH RESPONSIBLY:
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Dr. John Galland, Director
Division of Education and Integrity, Office of Research Integrity
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
October 21st, 2009
1:00-2:15 p.m.
Mary Gates Hall, Room 389
Dr. Galland will provide guidance to students, fellows and faculty on the
meaning of conducting research responsibly and what that means to us in our day
to day research environment.
Twenty years ago, the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) at DHHS, in concert
with the community of scholars in the United States and internationally,
provided guidance on conducting research responsibly. Nine focus areas were
identified and education and training in these areas was encouraged and in some
instances required. Dr. Galland will share the ORI insights on how we
incorporate these principles into mentoring and carrying out research. Those
core areas include:
? Ownership of research data
? Recognizing and addressing conflicts of interest
? Working with human subjects
? Issues of animal welfare
? Misconduct in research
? Authorship and publication protocols
? Rights & responsibilities of mentors and mentees
? Peer review
? Complexities of collaborative science
No registration is necessary.

Communication Writing Center FAQ
Our communication writing center is currently a volunteer-based center staffed by Communication graduate students, teaching assistants, and research assistants. We welcome drop-in sessions during the hours posted.
Where is the Writing Center? CMU 222
We share this space with the Speaking Center and various other activities. This quarter, we are offering a few sessions in the Advising office as well (CMU 118). See the schedule for specific times.
Who can use center?
The center is designed to help students taking communication courses and/or prospective and current communication majors.
What kinds of projects can the tutors help with?
We can read drafts of essays and papers for class, as well as application essays, statements of purpose etc. Think of us not as “writing experts” but rather as interested and informed readers. We’ll provide another pair of eyes on your work in a low-pressure environment.
While we’re happy to help you at any stage of the writing process, you will probably get the most out of a session if you bring a draft of what you are working on.
What to expect?
We generally think of sessions to last about 20 minutes. As such, we may not be able to address all of your concerns or the issues in your writing. Instead, we will focus on a few key areas for improvement per session.
Because this is drop-in, we are never entirely sure if there will be a wait or not. The best advice we can offer is come early, come often.

Re: upcoming workshops on
writing Personal Statements and CVs for scholarship/fellowship applications,

campuses are welcome, as are recent alums.)
The first CV Workshop is this Wednesday, October 14, 2009 from 1:00pm to
2:30pm, Mary Gates 191 A, but there are more to come. Flyers are attached
and a forwardable message is below.

***************************************************************************
********************************************
Do you need to write a personal statement for a scholarship, research or
graduate school application but aren't sure where to start? Do you need to
prepare a CV or academic resume, but aren't sure what it is or what should
be on it? Consider attending an upcoming workshop offered by the Office of
Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards:
Personal Statement Workshops
The Personal Statement is an important part of all applications for
scholarships, internships, or graduate/professional programs. This type of
writing requires you to outline your strengths confidently and concisely,
which can be challenging. These Personal Statement Workshops will provide
you with essential information to begin writing about your interests,
eligibility, and suitability.
Space is limited, so please register for one of these workshops at:
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/scholarq/71650
* October 21, 2009 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm, Mary Gate 191 A
* December 2, 2009 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm, Mary Gate 191 A
CV Writing Workshops
Develop your undergraduate CV/Resume for use in scholarship, fellowship,
research opportunities and graduate school applications. These workshops
will aid students in the development of a Curriculum Vitae ("CV" or
"vitae"). A CV is similar to a resume, but allows students to take
advantage of a free format, to reflect the strength of their achievements.
Students interested in the workshop should bring a working draft, such as an
existing resume, a list of activities, honors, awards, and prizes, received
no longer than 5 years ago, academic and research activities, community
service involvement, work history, and activities outside of the academic
environment.
Space is limited, so please register for one of these workshops at:

NLL JOURNALISM INTERNSHIP
Introduction
Congratulations on being selected to work with the National Lacrosse League and the NLL.com team! With this internship, you will delve into the world of sports writing by covering an NLL team throughout the entire 2010 season. You will have the opportunity to participate in weekly coaches conference calls with media, watch games from the press box, interview National Lacrosse League players and have your stories published on NLL.com.
You will be assigned a team prior to the regular season, and will submit game previews for your team’s eight home games and conduct game night reporting of your team’s eight away games. Additionally, you will be asked to submit two feature stories on the team you are covering throughout the season.
Working with the NLL.com team, you will have the opportunity to gain experience working as a member of the media, have the opportunity to rub elbows in the highly competitive world of sports business and learn valuable skills that can help you gain a job in the future.
Welcome aboard!
Doug Fritts
Vice President of Communications
Justin Rubino
Operations Executive
GAME PREVIEWS
INSTRUCTIONS:
Coaches Media Conference Calls:
The first part of writing a game preview requires your presence on the weekly Coaches-Media Conference Call. While on the call, you will need to take notes and capture quotes from the coaches that are to be included in your game preview. This call will take place every Wednesday during the NLL season, typically at 1PM Eastern Time. You will be emailed a schedule for the call every week with toll-free dial-in instructions. Please be present for the time frame(s) outlined in the email you receive for your respective team.
Example:
1:00PM – 1:08PM: Colorado @ Calgary (Bob McMahon & Dave Pym)
1:08PM – 1:16PM: Minnesota @ Washington (Mike Lines & Chris Hall)
We also encourage you to ask questions that will help you with your preview. Keep the number of total questions to two or less, as time is limited and print and broadcast media may also have questions. Please be prepared in advance with questions you would like to ask, and email them to faceoff@nll.com the day before the call.
You must act in a professional manner on the call, as there will be members of the media, NLL coaches and NLL representatives participating in the discussion.
When asking a question, state your name and your affiliation (NLL.com).
Example: John Smith from NLL.com would like to ask a question for Coach Tom Ryan
The Moderator will acknowledge your request and give you the go ahead.
Writing a Game Preview
After the coaches call, you will be asked to write a game preview for your team’s upcoming home game. The game preview will initially run on the league website either the day before or the day of the game leading up to the start of the contest. However, you must submit your preview to faceoff@nll.com by 1:00PM Eastern on Thursday, so our editors can review your story and prepare it for the website.
Stats and all other relevant information for writing a preview are available in the stats section on NLL.com. More information will also be available through the league’s new stat providing program: leaguestat.com. If you have further questions on either of these outlets, you can always reach out to anyone on the NLL.com team.
Here are some helpful pointers for writing a game preview for NLL.com:
First Paragraph:
The introduction is the most structured paragraph of your preview and it will appear as the teaser for the story on the NLL.com homepage. Below is an example of what we are looking for with this paragraph:
Example:
The Edmonton Rush (RECORD) hope to stop the red-hot Colorado Mammoth (RECORD) on Friday, when the two teams meet for the first time this season at Pepsi Center. The Mammoth have won three straight, while the Rush look to bounce back after a heartbreaking last-second loss to Arizona last week. Game time is 9pm Eastern.
Note: Be sure to include team names, records, game site and game time.
Body:
The body of the story is where you will provide your analysis of the upcoming game.
Avoid opinions and back up your analysis with facts.
DO NOT say:
"Team A is the best team in the league." -or- "Team B has the best offense in the league."
DO Say:
"Team A has a league-best 11-2 record."
- or -
"Team B leads the league with 150 goals."
NOTE: As representatives of the National Lacrosse League we have to be careful with how we phrase things and must maintain an unbiased stance. We don't want readers thinking that the NLL believes "Team A is the best team in the league."
Keep it to the point:
The game previews should be to the point and we do not need to be “over-creative.” Use quotes from the coaches call to add spice to the story. Let the coaches say it. We’re just presenting the information.
Don’t' Say: "The winner goes to the playoffs, the loser will go golfing."
Say: "The winner goes to the playoffs, the loser will be eliminated from contention."
If the coach says -- "If we lose, we'll be golfing rather than going to the playoffs." – include a quote.
Double check facts & spelling:
This is very important in maintaining the integrity of the website. Double check all stats and facts that you include in your previews. The editors won’t have time to double check every statistic. Also double check the story for spelling (especially player names) and grammar mistakes.
Conclusion:
Like in any style of writing, close the story with a short two or three sentence conclusion and recap the main points of your preview. Do not say “In conclusion…”
An example of a game preview is attached to the end of this manual (Note: the example is somewhat longer than what is required, being that it was a Division Final preview).
GAME NIGHT REPORTING
Home Team:
If your team is home, the majority of your work for the week was completing the game preview. For home games, you will be issued a game credential that will get you into the arena. We will put you in contact with the team’s PR Director, who will advise you on where to pick up your credential. The credential will give you access to the press box. Once in the press box, find a seat and enjoy the game.
The press box is a working area of the arena, therefore you must maintain a professional demeanor in the press box and appropriate attire (business casual) is required. You may also wear your NLL polo shirt if you prefer. There is no cheering allowed in the press box. Additionally, please adhere to any team and arena specific Press Box policies.
While taking in the game, make note of any key plays or highlights, such as any great goals, highlight reel saves or big-time hits. The NLL submits clips of top plays to ESPN’s SportsCenter for consideration on their weekly Top Ten Plays of the Week. The league also puts together a weekly Top Five Plays of the Week highlight which will be composed of suggested plays. If you notice anything worthy, write down a short description of the highlight, the player(s) involved and what time during the game it took place. At the end of the evening, email all of your descriptions to faceoff@nll.com.
At the conclusion of the game, you may interview any players or coaches. Quotes gathered here can be used for you personally, on either future game previews or your feature story, and/or sent to the away team’s journalist if they are relevant for that evening’s game (See below: Visiting Team). If a player had a noteworthy performance (five goals or more, 50 saves, etc), don’t be shy - interview that player! Your quote will likely be added to the game recap for that night. You can use the team media guide to help identify a player, or ask the team’s PR Director to introduce you to the player. Certain games may have a special post-game press conference. In that situation, attend the press conference rather than interviewing individual players or coaches.
Visiting Team:
If your team is on the road, you will be responsible for covering the game on NLL.com. You will watch the game online via the NLL Network and will be required to write a post-game recap to send to faceoff@nll.com.
All games will have a “Watch Live” link attached to the teaser section of the game’s preview. You can watch the live streaming broadcast of your game by clicking this link. It is recommended that you have a broadband connection to view the webcast.
You can also find a live box score of the game at NLL.com to assist you. In the event that you experience technical difficulties with the video, you may need to rely entirely on the box score. While taking in the game, make note of any key plays or highlights, such as any ‘great goals’ or big hits to e-mail to faceoff@nll.com. It is also recommended that you begin writing your recap as the game progresses.
After the conclusion of the game, write a 5-7 paragraph game recap story. The journalist assigned to the home team in your game will be sending you any quotes and key plays that he/she obtained as well. An example of a game recap is attached at the end of this manual. The same rules apply for writing a recap as a preview, although time is now a factor. The sooner the recap is up on the site following the conclusion of a game, the better.
NLL.com FEATURE STORIES
During the course of the season, you will be required to write at least two feature stories on your assigned team, or a specific player on your team. As you follow the team during the course of the season and begin to learn about the players and dynamics of the team, begin tossing around ideas for any interesting storyline you think fans might like to read about. You can pitch your ideas for approval to your editors at anytime.
Your story should include quotes from players and coaches. Your editors can assist you with contacting players for interviews. When interviewing players, please be courteous and remember you are a representative of the National Lacrosse League.
CONCLUSION
Once again, welcome aboard! If you have any questions, at any time, please contact Doug Fritts or Justin Rubino. If your advisor or internship coordinator has any questions they may contact us as well.

Sample Game Preview
MINNESOTA LOOKS TO GAIN GROUND VS. SAN JOSE
Western Conference Playoff Race Heats Up at HP Pavilion
The Minnesota Swarm (5-7) and San Jose Stealth (5-8), two teams separated by one-half game in the West Division, will square off from HP Pavilion on Friday night at 10pm ET.
The Swarm can potentially clinch a playoff berth this weekend, needing a series of events to occur in order to do so. The Swarm have been better on the road this year (4-3) than at home (1-4) and will need to continue their solid road play in San Jose by defeating the Stealth. After that, Minnesota will need to beat Edmonton at home and hope for Edmonton to also lose on Friday to Portland or for Colorado to win twice this weekend.
Swarm head coach Duane Jacobs is not looking that far ahead, though.
“We certainly know what’s at stake at this point. Obviously, both teams, I would think, have a sense of urgency given what’s at stake,” said Jacobs. “We’ve responded in the past with big games. We just have to go in and execute and play well for 60 minutes.”
The Stealth are fresh off a home-and-home split with Portland last week, placing them in fifth place in the West Division, behind Minnesota. San Jose has had no problem scoring goals this year with an offense led by Colin Doyle, Jeff Zywicki, Rhys Duch and Cam Sedgwick. A member of that high-powered unit received some hardware this week when Duch was named the league’s Rookie of the Month for March. Duch scored 10 goals and 10 assists as the Stealth went 2-3 for the month.
To continue its drive towards the playoffs, San Jose will need its defense to perform like it did in last Sunday’s 13-8 win over Portland. Goaltender Tyler Richards played 55:45 in his most extensive action of the year, making 43 saves and only allowing six goals after fellow Stealth goaltender Matt Roik allowed the first two shots he faced to get past him.
“Our playoff lives are on the line. For all intents and purposes, this is a playoff game for us,” said Stealth head coach Chris Hall. “We have to play and prepare like this is it.”
Sample Game Recap
EDMONTON RALLIES PAST TORONTO, 12-9
Palidwor, Rush defense stifle Rock in fourth quarter
Curtis Palidwor recorded a season-high 50 saves to lift the Edmonton Rush past the Toronto Rock, 12-9, in front of 11,547 fans at Rexall Place on Friday. Palidwor held Toronto scoreless in the fourth quarter as Edmonton scored six straight to rally for the win. Randy Daly scored four goals and Jamie Bowen scored three for the Rush (3-3), who snapped a three-game losing streak.
Edmonton trailed after three quarters, 9-6, but Palidwor and the Rush defense stood their ground as the offense got into a rhythm. Jason Wulder, Chris Gill and Daly scored consecutive goals within the first two minutes to tie the game, and Bowen added the eventual game-winner three minutes later. Daly delivered an insurance goal at 8:35 and defenseman Andrew Turner put the nail in the coffin with an empty-netter at 13:12.
Daly matched a career-high with his four goal performance. The 22-year-old forward had just seven goals over 11 games in 2007.
Wulder and Gill chipped in two goals apiece for the Rush.
Edmonton's penalty killers were a big part of their victory, as they held Toronto scoreless on all five of their power play opportunities. On the other end of the floor, the Rush went 2-for-3 on the man-advantage.
Aaron Wilson had three goals for the Rock, while Ryan Benesch and Matt Shearer each added two for Toronto (4-2). Bob Watson made 25 saves in the loss.
Edmonton travels to San Jose next Saturday, while Toronto hosts Colorado on Friday.

FSN's show "Runnin' with the PAC" will be coming to UW next Thursday (Oct. 15).
The show is a 30 minute magazine show that visits each Pac 10 campus and
highlights the academics and athletics of each school. One aspect of the
show we're looking to fill is a student film. We can lend a flip cam to a
student who can create a 2-3 minute mini-movie on a day in the life of a
Husky. The student can take any angle they would like, and would have until
Sunday, October 18 to complete the piece. Thank you for any interest, and we
look forward to visiting the UW on Runnin' with the PAC!
The student would create their video independently of our shoot
and we would edit it in. If the student needs a camera, we can get them one
that Thursday.

LocalHealthGuide is a new online health news Web site that provides
health news for Seattle and the Puget Sound region.
The site was recently chosen by to join the Seattle Times News
Partnership and was selected by the Knight Digital Media Center for
its 2009 News Entrepreneurs Workshop.
The site is looking for interns who would be interested in covering
local health, science and health-related business news.
Most of the stories will be short wire service-style pieces, but
longer pieces could be written if the story's good.
Interns will be able to work from home, school -- or the cafe -- and
file online.
The editor has extensive experience writing for the general public and
scientific readers and will provide interns with support and coaching.
All stories will have the intern's byline so it's a good opportunity
to build up some clips.
The site will also be experimenting with the use of Flip Cam video and
other multimedia tools and interns will be welcome to try their hand.
Right now, the site is produced almost entirely by the editor -- so
it's a good opportunity for someone who wants to get experience
writing for an online news site.
Hours: estimated 10 hours/week.
Pay: None now but if the site starts to make money we would start to
pay at least something.
To see what the site's about go to http://localhealthguideonline.com.
Interns would be able to write for any section of the site but three
beats that would suit a intern at least at the start would be:
Seattle Science: short science news stories featuring local the work
of local researchers.
Global Health Seattle: stories coming out of local global health
organizations such as PATH, the UW Global Health program, and the
Gates Foundation.
Providers News: Short pieces about the business side of health - a
good beat for someone who is interested in going into business
reporting.
Anyone interested should send me an email at mxmc@mac.com
Best,
Michael McCarthy MD

School of Drama Study Abroad in Rome: Spring 2010
(Study Abroad )
School of Drama Study Abroad in Rome: Spring 2010
http://courses.washington.edu/rome10/index.shtml
The School of Drama is thrilled to offer its first annual spring-quarter study abroad program in Rome, Italy, offering a total of 15 credits:
Staging the City (Drama 494 - 5 credits)
Art and Identity in Early Modern Rome (Art H 497 - 5 credits)
Students will also complete an Independent Research project
(Drama 499 - 5 credits)
INFORMATION SESSION: Wednesday October 21st, 3:30 p.m.
Room XXX Hutchinson Hall
Staging the City:
Performance, Power, and Identity in Rome from Empire to the Enlightenment
March 29 – June 4, 2010
Using 1,500 years of performance traditions - plays, pageants, spectacles and gladiatorial games, opera, literature, art and architecture - this broad humanities course considers how Rome created, maintained, and promoted its own image of imperial and cultural power - first as the heart of the Roman Empire, then as the capital of Catholic Christiandom, later as a city of Papal Princes, and the epicenter of high culture on any European tour. How Rome occupied its unique charismatic position in European history is largely a product of its own self-promotion. Rome the city invented Rome the ideal, and that act can be read as a powerful performance of civic identity.
The program is conducted at the Palazzo Pio, the University of Washington’s Rome Center, located in the historic center of the city. The palazzo, a fully remodeled seventeenth-century structure that sits on the foundations of the ancient theater of Pompey (55 B.C.), rises next to the Campo de’ Fiori, one of Rome’s favorite locales, a bustling open market during the day and lively social venue at night.
For an online application or for information about the program courses, instructors, cost, and much more, please see:

The New York Media Experience Program (NYMEP) offers a full-time semester of undergraduate study and internship in the greatest city in the world. Students live and work in New York for either a Fall or Spring semester and are placed with leading television networks, top public relations firms, national magazines, famous sports and more. The program is full-time - all successful students earn 15 college credits through a combination of their internship and online communications courses.
Internships
Eric
Media Jobs Attainable
So Many Opportunities
We guarantee you an internship placement! We can do that because of our extensive contacts with media companies. The New York Media Experience Program is operated by Marist Colleges Communication Program, which has more than 25 years of experience placing undergraduate students in New York City internships. Marist's connections with dozens of leading New York City media firms means students have access to internships in news, sports, advertising, public relations and broadcasting companies and organizations.
Benefits of an Internship
Gain experience
Make career contacts
Enhance your self confidence
Get a competitive edge in the job market.
National surveys consistently show that students who do internships enjoy a clear competitive edge over those who do not gain internship experience. Get your edge with a internship in New York!
Internship Preparation / Interview / Selection
There are several steps to obtaining an internship. Our staff will guide you through this 5-step process.
Prepare: We will assist you in developing and fine-tuning a resume and cover letter. You will examine internship listings and discuss possible sites with our staff.
Select: Create a "target list" of potential internship sites.
Apply: Your resume will be sent to those internship sites.
Interview: Employers will contact you for either a telephone interview or an in-person interview. This is a critical step. It is important for you to interview well and sell yourself as a mature, serious student. Media internships are highly competitive. We can help prepare you for this important step.
Accept: Once you receive an offer, your internship work schedule can be finalized
Internship Credits
To gain experience and knowledge, you need to commit time to an employer. Interning a minimum of 4 days per week is strongly recommended for most internship sites. NYMEP awards 9 credits for interns who work 4 days per week, but you will need to check with your home institution on transferring internship credits. The number of credits can vary by institution. Check with your faculty advisor or department head in advance.

We are a
professional indoor lacrosse team that plays in the Comcast Arena at
Everett. We just moved to Washington after spending the past six seasons in
San Jose, Calif. We play in the National Lacrosse League, which features 11
teams throughout the United States and Canada. Our season runs from January
through April, with the playoffs (which we completely expect to be a part
of) to be held in May. Despite being relatively unknown in the US, the
league has been around for 24 years and is gaining popularity out west. The
league averages over 10,000 fans per game. Lacrosse is currently the
fastest growing youth sport in the country. There is a huge youth lacrosse
movement happening in the greater Seattle area now. Thousands of youth
athletes are picking up the game.
Just wanted to give you a little info about us since we are new to the area
and not everyone knows about lacrosse and how popular it is becoming. We
are a legitimate professional sport, and I think that the size of our front
office will be a major benefit to potential interns. They will have a
unique opportunity to be involved with a number of different aspects of a
pro sports organization, and be much more hands on than they would in a
larger organization like the Mariners or Seahawks.

Become a WashPIRG Intern TODAY!
You can earn course credit right here at UW and learn how to organize a
campaign, work with media, create grassroots power, and release research
reports to solve our generation?s most pressing issues, including:
* Global Warming: It?s time to unleash the power of clean, renewable
energy to rebuild our economy, protect our environment, and ensure a
sustainable future. You can help push past the powerful lobbyists from Big
Oil and Big Coal to get America on the track to clean, renewable energy and
public transit.
* Health Care Costs: It?s the hottest issue in the country. Join the
conversation and help make health care work. We?re paying more and getting
less from our healthcare system, so we?re working to rein in costs and
increase options. You can help.
* Hunger and Homelessness: We live in the richest country in the world,
but over 38 million Americans are at risk of experiencing hunger each year.
Poverty is growing along with the struggles of low-income families right
here in Washington. During these hard times, it is especially important that
we volunteer our time and money for those in need.
* Textbook Affordability: Students spend an average of $900 a year on
textbooks alone. We can help expand the use of free and low-cost online
textbook alternatives.

website named Net News Daily.

syndicated to various international media outlets, including the Chicago
Sun-Times and Herald-Tribune. We're also working on a syndication deal with
a group of 50 UK newspapers. To date, we've been featured on BBC News
Online, The Guardian, The Press Association and a number of other media
outlets.
At this time, we have around 10 internationally based writers, ranging from

new contributors to write short articles (100-150 words) and opinion pieces.

them.

JTNews, the Jewish community newspaper - cover the trial of the State vs. Naveed Haq
(Intern :: Journalism )
From: Joel Magalnick | JTNews
Starting in mid-October, the retrial of the State vs. Naveed Haq, the man
who shot six people inside the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle in 2006,
and killing one, is scheduled to begin on or around Oct. 19 (jury selection
begins the week before). I’m not sure how long the trial is expected to last
(the first, which ended in a mistrial, went for about five weeks), but we do
not have a dedicated reporter on staff who can be at the trial each day.
JTNews, the Jewish community newspaper for Washington State, is seeking a
dedicated student who could blog details on our Web site, which I would then
turn into trial updates in the paper. The student would be expected to spend
a large portion of the day in the courtroom taking notes which could then be
posted online. NO electronic media will be allowed in the courtroom, and
photography will not be necessary. Interested students should contact me at
editor@jtnews.net for further details.
Thank you,
Joel Magalnick

My name is Kari Mar and I'm the manager of Internet Services for

I am looking to hire two students with an interest in video to tape and edit

I can teach students how to do all steps necessary, but students with some

volunteers.
