Alum Muses Huntsman's Chances, Good Ol Days At Penn-- If you're interested, read this New York Times opinion on why Huntsman is a viable presidential candidate. Why this is more interesting than others: it features a cute Penn anecdote in the introduction telling us, among other things, that Class Board was as serious in 1955 as it is now.
Keep Sending Us Intern Stories— The whole world should feel your pain, bask in your glory or laugh at you. Let 'em rip— anonymity guaranteed!
Sounds like the beginning of a joke where everyone walks into a bar, right? But instead of walking in (maybe to a happy hour), these folks all walked out-- of college, that is. The triumvirate of Coursekit, the potential Blackboard-killer, has opted to skip out on the rest of dear old Penn because they raised a cool million for their start-up.
Maybe we've just got a case of the Mondays, but we can't help thinking everyone could use a nice drink to wash away the weekend/get through this week/start the Fourth celebrations really, really early. Check out our picks across the nation:
We'll Take Culturally Relevant For 400— On tonight's Jeopardy: "You would want to take ACCT-208 to minimize your risks at this business school at Penn." This only further solidifies our school's relationship with the game show.
Speaking Of The Museum— Be one of the first ten people to foursquare check-in at their PM @ the Penn Museum series and get a free drink.
They must not have been as excited about his announcement as we were. For all their self-proclaimed "ragging" on Penn kids (newsflash: somehow we'll survive), you think they'd have figured this out by now, maybe, say, when he spoke at graduation 2010. They do paint a lovely picture of what campus must have been like in the 80s; thanks to modern sorostitutes' love of neon, however, it probably didn't look all that different.
Vanessa Carlton Is Playing World Cafe Live-- We would walk a thousand miles-- or at least ten blocks-- to see this!
Campaign Countdown: It's Here! -- Tune in at 10 a.m. to pretty much any media outlet to see Huntsman pretend he's Reagan and announce his candidacy with a Statue of Liberty backdrop.
Jon Huntsman Jr.'s presidential announcement is almost here you guys! At first, we were all like, why are you teasing us all week? Why not just come out and say you're running straight up? A little digging reveals that for quite some time, Huntsman has had a deep passion for counting. Just check out this video proving both Chinese fluency and numerical prowess, created for the Math Awareness campaign. Consider the math major vote on lock.
Unfortunately, as is the case with many a candidate, some critics have accused Huntsman of lacking substance. This belief has only been confirmed by the rather damning photographic evidence below. Invisible boxes made of air won't solve the debt crisis!
On this, the fifth day of waiting for Huntsman's candidacy, we've learned that he is already out targeting special interests and key demographics. One such group he hopes to court is the Toddler Caucus. In order to win the hearts and minds of small children, Huntsman knows, you have to meet them where they are: Sesame Street.
All right Huntsman, we're a little annoyed because you've kind of stolen our whole "releasing slightly odd multimedia leading up to the announcement" idea. Seriously, we talked about your kids just two days ago. It was adorable. Is it a coincidence you're now talking about them too? And what about your motorcross shots? We broke those practically last millennium. All we're saying is, give credit where credit is due.
Today, our pictorial journey brings us to the far reaches of the globe: China, where Huntsman served as the Ambassador until he got impatient. To prove that he was actually there, we have unearthed this photo of him and all his cultural learnings. It's like if your typical folksy diner campaign stop was a fancy restaurant in China.
Welcome back to our countdown to candidacy. This week, we're paying tribute to future potential president and relevant Penn alum Jon Huntsman Jr. Today is "adopting a baby from India" edition! Bonus: the baby from India is in the picture! Hi, little Asha!
Breaking photonic news! The high light-matter coupling strength limit of these quasiparticles can be broken if you go below 500 nanometers, according to Penn researchers. Because like, we had totally been going from bulk sizes to one micron! But obviously, as the article notes, "the traits of a bulk material are different than structures of the same material on the nanoscale." Duh! Can't forget surface to volume ratio.
In celebration of Penn alum Jon Huntsman Jr.'s impending quest for the White House, we're devoting the next week to hyping up his announcement, scheduled for next Tuesday. We're doing so by thoughtfully examining one policy initiative each day. Sike! We're just gonna post silly and awesome pictures of the guy. Today's low-quality-but-worth-it shot features awkward Huntsman in a pile of children with a festive goose. Standard!
Never underestimate the power of Penn kids and cool gadgets. A musically-inclined tipster has sent us this productive use of yesterday's awesome Google Doodle. If you missed it, you could actually play the logo-shaped guitar strings and annoy your coworkers. If the doodle itself wasn't cool enough, the fact that a Penn alum was involved in its creation should be.
Talk about town-gown relations: Penn alums Joshua Harris and David Blitzer are in talks to buy the Philadelphia 76ers from Flyers owner Comcast-Spectatcor. Harris, the main guy for the deal, founded Apollo Global Management, putting him on Forbes' billionaire list and in the dreams of many Penn kids interning there this summer. Blitzer is responsible for the London branch of the Blackstone Group, another summer intern hotspot. The deal could close as early as next week.
Whoops-- In case anyone is keeping post-Fling tabs on the performers, Flo Rida got arrested for a DUI today in Miami. This is the second time this year an artist included both Penn and jail in their travel plans.
