...earlier set of deadlines for both application and notification, such as investment banking, journalism, and consulting,” Gilmore writes in an email to The Crimson. “When one’s peers are sending off applications for internships as early as October, it does tend to create a sense of lagging behind for those not doing so.”But for those interested in the arts, the industry connections that the OCS provides may only be one part of their desired solution. Torn between the need for real-world artistic experience and the desire...
...rather his superimposed, orange-tinted head digitally slides across the “crowd.” This automatically deducts any brownie points that might have been awarded to The Bravery for actually playing in their video. Then again, bands who actually achieve artistic integrity in their videos tend to hire professional directors.

Industry groups like the Renewable Fuels Association criticized the studies for being too simplistic, and failing to put biofuels in context. And it's true that the switch to biofuels can have benefits that go beyond climate change.

His approval ratings have plunged at a dizzying speed. Now many conservative candidates are looking...
...good news is that the superdelegate conundrum is likely to resolve itself without much drama. The thing to remember about superdelegates is that they are pols-and tend not to be all that independent-minded anyway. The last thing they want is to act as referees who call the winner of a grueling 15-round championship fight. In fact, for most of the superdelegates, choosing-in public-between the heroine of one set of Democratic voters and the hero of a different set is a nightmare. What is most likely is that the superdelegates will stay on the fence. They...
