In small journalism programs it can be difficult to devise courses that allow students to appear in a 'real world' publication. This article describes meeting that challenge with a course designed to produce written and visual content for one of the university division's website and social media pages, thereby fulfilling both a curricular purpose and a communications function for a branch of the university's administration. The course provides professional content for the equivalent of a public, non-profit client even though most enrolled students have little or no journalism experience. Success depended on a professional partner that understood the limits of student-generated content and on an instructor with a mentorship approach to teaching.

In October, Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel was permitted to speak at the Great Synagogue in Moscow where 10,000 people gathered to celebrate the Simchat Torah holiday. But later that evening, five Jews were arrested there, the first time in eight years that this annual event has ended in arrests. A new emigration law came into effect in January which Soviet officials said would facilitate the emigration of 30,000 Jews a year. But critics charge that the regulation merely commits to paper the discriminatory practices that have been in place for the last few years. And in January, only 98 Jews were granted permission - a tally no higher than the months preceding it. Only 800 Jews were allowed to leave the Soviet Union last year, a dramatic drop from the 1979 peak when over 50,000 left. Today, behind the headlines of those few prominent dissidents strategically released to placate western pressure, there are 400,000 Jews waiting to leave. \"On the surface Gorbachev looks like a more progressive leader, yet it was during the Brezhnev era that the doors were opened,\" says Alexander Lerner, a well-known Moscow cybernetics professor who was dismissed from the Academy of Science after applying to leave the country 15 years ago.

Al-Qaeda may not be dead yet, but it was \"increasingly passé,\" even before the killing of Osama bin Laden in May. While the rest of us were distracted by the global economic crisis, a grassroots reassessment was taking place that rejects not only the West's model but homegrown options for Islamic society as well.

In 2008, Shariff and Norenzayan published an experiment in Science magazine showing that when people were \"unconsciously primed\" toward religious belief they were more likely to be generous to strangers, suggesting that religion can be a motivator in cooperative behavior. About 21% conceive of a \"critical\" God who keeps track of our sins and may render judgment in the afterlife, and about 24% see a \"distant\" God who set the universe in motion but is not involved in day-to-day life.

[...] he said, the two friends are planning to make a movie, similar to \"An Inconvenient Truth\" with former Vice President Al Gore, about the futility of war in the 21st century. Since the early 1960s, when the 14th Dalai Lama, then 29, tutored Thurman, then 23, and mined his knowledge about Western science and culture, the two have had a special relationship.

According to a survey last year by the Pew Research Center, 37% of Americans say they read it more than once a week, not including during services.

Soloway, executive producer of the Showtime series \"United States of Tara\" and a self-described smartphone junkie, was taking part in the \"National Day of Unplugging,\" organized by Reboot, a group of urban media professionals who try to reconnect with Jewish tradition in a way that is meaningful to their hectic lives. Because participants were logged off computers, smartphones and other devices, Reboot representatives say they don't know exactly how many took the 24-hour challenge.
