Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity for One Lucky Viewer To Work for Groundbreaking Cable Network

NEW YORK, February 22, 2011 - Current TV’s “Bar Karma,” the world’s first community-developed television series, is on the hunt for a viewer with great creative ideas who will be offered a six month stint at the cable network.

The “Be a TV Programmer Challenge” launched on February 10^th, in time to usher in the premiere of the network’s highly anticipated series, Bar Karma (which airs Friday nights at 10PM ET/9C). The 12 episode series, the first to offer viewers a chance to control content before a program hits the air, was created by gaming icon Will Wright and is the network’s latest effort to create a new benchmark for viewer engagement.

“The launch of this challenge couldn’t be better timed,” noted David Cohn, Current TV’s Executive in Charge, Bar Karma. “Our goal is to find a very talented individual whose passion, enthusiasm and outside the box thinking can help elevate our own way of looking at our programming model. ‘Bar Karma’ is the perfect example of the kind of series we have always wanted to do – a show that celebrates storytelling while retaining their kind of edgy sensibility that you rarely see on television.” He added: “We hope that whoever is chosen for this role will be willing to go there with us in the coming months.”

The premise for the contest revolves around the use of the same Storymaker application utilized in the creation of Bar Karma – but instead of pitching Current TV execs about content for the series, viewers will be pitching themselves for the programming position. Through April 29th, entrants will be able to log onto www.Current.com/BeATVProgrammer and describe their first day on the job at Current TV. Entries must include between five and fifteen scenes, one of which much feature the potential winner at work and another which explains why that entry should be chosen winner of the challenge.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is February 20-26, 2011
Anonymous Screenings Available at www.CollegeResponse.org

Wellesley Hills, MA (February 21, 2011) – Screening for Mental Health® (SMH) is pleased to announce the top three winners of the first annual National Eating Disorders Screening Program® (NEDSP) public service announcement contest. SMH started the video contest to give college students a chance to educate their peers about the consequences of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder and to encourage students to assess their risk by taking an online screening at www.CollegeResponse.org.

Students across the country will see the winning public service announcements as part of NEDSP, which is an education and screening program hosted by hundreds of colleges and universities nationwide. Schools participate in NEDSP by hosting in-person events and/or providing anonymous screenings online.

“Food concerns, body dissatisfaction and low self-esteem can keep a person from being successful at school or work, and hinders social activities like being with friends, family and functioning as a person. The National Eating Disorders Screening Program offers education and screening to help young men and women recognize unhealthy eating habits before they evolve into full-blown eating disorders,” says Douglas G. Jacobs, MD, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard University Medical School and founder and president of SMH.

In the United States, as many as 10 million females and 1 million males are fighting a life and death battle with an eating disorder. Data reveals that nearly 20% of college students admit to having an eating disorder and nearly three-quarters have never received treatment (National Eating Disorders Association).

Eating disorders frequently co-exist with depression, anxiety disorders and substance abuse. A comprehensive new study from The National Center on Addictions and Substance Abuse reveals that nearly half of those suffering from an eating disorder also abuse alcohol or illicit drugs, compared to just nine percent of the general population. People suffering from eating disorders may use drugs or alcohol for the same reasons they engage in eating disorder behaviors, to control their weight or to self-medicate negative emotions.

“I seriously struggled with an eating disorder in high school,” says Sarah Garrett, a student at Auburn University in Alabama and producer of the winning PSA video. “It took literally hitting rock bottom to get me to a therapist, and I swore then I would one day make a difference for someone else through eating disorder awareness.”

The second place winning PSA comes from Danielle Rollins and Pamela Heim, nursing students at Aultman College of Nursing in Canton, Ohio. The video was selected because of its powerful message and supporting statistics.  “I struggled with an eating disorder in my late teens and early twenties, to the point that I required hospitalization,” says Danielle Rollins. “With the help of a nutritionist and the motivation of wanting to become a mother to healthy children, I was able to change my behaviors.”

Lauren Webb, an 18 year old studio art major at Virginia Tech, whose PSA took third place says, “I understand how difficult an eating disorder can be… I used to get sick a lot and over my teenage years my problem developed into bulimia. I also struggled with anxiety, and soon realized there was a connection with all of my symptoms. I was able to express my major battle with food to my parents through my drawings and artwork. With their help, I got into therapy and am now on my way to recovery.”

The winning PSAs can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/CollegeResponsePSA.

“Secrets to Winning a Scholarship is required reading for any family looking to keep the college bills as low as possible,” says international acclaimed financial expert Suze Orman and longtime friend of Kantrowitz. ” Every dollar you win in a scholarship is a dollar you (or your family) do not have to pay out of your own pocket or it is a dollar less that needs to be borrowed.”

Over 350 schools join SEED Center; Will Create Sustainability Programs

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., January 26, 2011 – In just three short months, 355 community colleges have joined the Sustainability Education & Economic Development (SEED) Center, www.TheSEEDCenter.org, pledging leadership in green job training, and reaping the benefits. The SEED Center, launched in October 2010, is a leadership initiative, resource center, and sharing environment for community colleges, created by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and ecoAmerica, that provides strategic guidance and resources for schools to dramatically scale-up sustainability education and workforce training programs to provide students with the skills to join the new, green economy.

In addition to the plethora of free curricular resources, The SEED Center offers a powerful set of tools to enhance members’ sustainability program launch and implementation including guides, case studies, and hands-on training. AACC opened the 18th annual Workforce Development Institute (WDI) conference today with the first hands-on training, a special SEED Center workshop entitled “Building a Green Workforce: Charting a Green Course for Community Colleges.”

Marcy Drummond, vice president of workforce and economic development at Los Angeles Trade Technical College helped to conduct the workshop. “It’s exciting to provide colleges with technical assistance, helpful information such as job growth projections, and tactics for building key industry partnerships,” she said. “As a SEED Center member who has been involved in workforce development for a number of years, I am honored to share my experiences to help other colleges grow their clean energy and green economy programs.” The SEED Center workshop also helped colleges navigate the maze of industry certifications, tie green jobs to training programs, and learn about enhancing overall campus sustainability initiatives.

“Colleges got a lot out of today’s workshop, and left with action plans,” said fellow instructor, Roger Ebbage, Energy Management Instructor at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon. “We were able to share our best practices in solar and wind power, alternative fuels, energy efficiency, and green building, which was helpful for our colleagues no matter if they had established programs or were just starting out.”

Other events at the Workforce Development Institute will feature a demonstration of the SEED Center and information on how to become involved.

Eight educators from SEED member community colleges received stipends from the AACC to attend WDI and the sustainability pre-conference. These schools included:

• Alfred State College
• Cape Cod Community College
• College of Lake County
• Des Moines Area Community College
• Kentucky Career and Technical System
• Lakeshore Technical College
• Mount Hood Community College
• Santa Fe Community College

Users of the free SEED center have access to resources in areas including renewable energy, energy efficiency, green building, and emerging technologies. Resources include curricula, training materials, industry projections and certifications, funding and partnership tools, and a robust online sharing environment (wiki, discussion boards) providing faculty a national community with which to share best practices and learnings.

“Community colleges are uniquely positioned to be leaders of the sustainability movement, focusing on local economic development and partnering with business and government to provide access to jobs,” said Dr. Walter G. Bumphus, president of AACC. “The Workforce Development Institute brings practitioners together from colleges nationwide. We are pleased to offer them The SEED Center and its tools.”

Maloof Skateboarding – which produces the world’s greatest skateboarding event, The Maloof Money Cup – and the Digital College Network (DCNLive.com) have teamed up to launch Maloof U Skate Madness, an online video contest to find the best college skaters in the country. The four finalists will win a trip to Panama City during Spring Break to compete for their share of the $10,000 cash and prize purse and a chance to claim the title of the best college skateboarder in the country.

“We’re really excited to partner with DCN for this contest,” said Joe Maloof, founder of Maloof Skateboarding and owner of the Palms Casino Resort and the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. “Every March, college campuses around the country explode with excitement surrounding the March Madness basketball event. We wanted to bring the same camaraderie and competitive spirit between colleges to the world of skateboarding. We’re going to give college students the opportunity to represent their schools and bring the four best college skaters down to Panama City, Florida, during Spring Break to compete for $10,000 in cash and prizes.“

To enter the contest, hopeful contenders must first register as a member on the DCNLive website, the student-exclusive website of the Digital College Network, then upload their best skate footage. The top 64 videos will be posted online and DCNLive’s members will rate the footage and vote on their favorite skaters. The 16 skaters earning the most votes will be evaluated by a panel of pros and celebrity judges, who will narrow the field to four finalists. Those four finalists will compete in a one-day competition in March during Spring Break festivities at Spinnaker Beach Club in Panama City, Fla., the No. 1 Spring Break destination in the country.

“It seemed natural to do something on our country’s college campuses that would really fuel the excitement for skateboarding among these kids and to do it in a way that college students can relate to, and that’s how we came up with the idea for Maloof U Skate Madness,” said Maloof. Chris Esposito, president and CEO of the Digital College Network, agrees.

“We have long known skating was a very popular sport for young people, especially college students,” he said. “We are delighted to partner with the Maloof Money Cup to find the best college skateboarder in America. We look forward to making the Maloof U Skate Madness championship one of the most coveted prizes on the American college scene. Panama City is a great venue for the finals, and we are excited about making this an annual event as part of our Spring Break celebration.”

Portions of submitted videos will be broadcast on DCNLive’s on-campus digital network, which airs content for and by students in campus bookstores and recreation centers nationwide. In addition to the broadcasts, DCNLive will encourage entries through viral marketing conducted by DCN Dynamos, the company’s on-campus representatives. DCNLive will also cover the event and broadcast results, including competition footage and interviews with the finalists.

Maloof Skateboarding produces the Maloof Money Cup, the world’s greatest skateboarding event and the premiere showcase for amateur and professional skateboarding. In 2010, the “Maloof Money Cup presented by Vans” hosted two events, one in Orange County, Calif., and one in to Queens, New York, building a world-class skatepark that was donated to the community after the contest. In 2011, the Maloof Money Cup goes global with the first-ever World Skateboarding Championships in Kimberley, South Africa, Sept. 28-Oct 2.
