Intern Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took a week. I interviewed at USAA in September 2014.
Met with a recruiter at a campus career fair. I got a call about two days later asking to set up an interview later that week. Recruiters were very friendly and easy to talk to. After some basic questions, was handed essentially a test to complete in front of the recruiter. It had four questions mainly to see your thought process. Was a bit uncomfortable completing it while the recruiter watched but got through it okay enough. They mainly want to see how you think and if you'd fit in with their culture.
Interview Questions
- The only question I remember from the written portion involved a chart that had a list of names and their scheduling preferences. You were asked to create a one week schedule based off of the information Answer Question

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at USAA in September 2015.
USAA interviewed me at a college career fair. They were very nice and polite. I got an interview on the spot. The actual interview consisted of behavioral questions and an assessment. It was straight forward but a little stressful since I only had about 30 minutes to prepare. The interviewer was very nice and engaging. She was very thorough as well.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at USAA (San Antonio, TX) in October 2011.
Internship interview -- offsite. First half were questions about who you are, why you want to work at USAA and then personality questions relating to working with others and you are to give examples from your experience. Second half is more technically as they look for you to say keywords like development model names. Next they'll ask a critical analysis math problem, similar to a math problem on a middle school homework assignment. (Weird and confusing wording but a simple problem) Next they'll ask you a situational question relating to developing something and what the steps are required to build it. Then they'll ask crap like what are you personally interested in. Onsite interview is the same but a tag team. They follow a similar order of questions as the first one but they feel free to ask questions they want whenever. They gave us a time frame of when we would know when we would get notified and we weren't notified in the specified time frame. But recently learned there was a hiring freeze that caused some of lag between the recruiters and the potential interns.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at USAA (San Antonio, TX) in March 2012.
I first saw USAA at a career fair booth at my school where I was offered a next day interview. Among some behavioral questions there were some creative thinking questions given to see how I go about solving problems. After the interview I was contacted by HR to go onsite in san antonio to interview again. I was flew to san antonio for free and they provided a one night hotel as well as meals. I arrived onsite the next day where I interviewed with two managers and then I took a tour of the campus before flying back. I was emailed next week saying that I was not given the offer.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at USAA (San Antonio, TX) in October 2013.
I was first contacted by a recruiter after submitting my application. I had a phone interview, and then was flown down to the Home Office in San Antonio, TX for an on-site interview. We had a tour and an interview built into one day. We also had dinner the night before with the other candidates and employees from the department. Between breakfast and lunch the day before, I met over 20+ employees who I know work with on a daily basis at my internship.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at USAA (Plano, TX) in October 2014.
Met with them on the Career fair and had a behavior questions interview. Little math puzzle and some creative problem solving / problem solving approach. After the 1st interview they contacted me a few weeks later offering me to go their campus in Plano, TX where they took us to Dinner and the next day more interviews and an more detailed overview of the company / benefits. If you have any military connection be sure to mention it and bring it up. Most of the time they are asking for a fit for their culture and not a skillset.

Intern InterviewDeclined OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at USAA in October 2011.
I was able to obtain an interview with USAA through my university's online job search and internship application. The interview process was well structred and went smoothly. The employer asked me the usual interview questions -- why should we hire you, describe a difficult situation, greatest strength/weakness, etc.-- and proceeded to also test me on general reasoning skills via a simple test. He was very polite and gave me plenty of time to think and respond. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but keep in mind this was for an intern position and not full time. He explained that if one passed this interview process he or she would be interviewed a second time at their facility. When I brought up the fact that I had already recieved an offer from another major company in regards to a time constraint, the employer seemed more interested in our discussion. However, it is hard to know whether or not this would have been the deciding factor as the interview had seemed to progress well before that was mentioned. I believe that your best bet for obtaining an interview and hopefully an internship is to know your techincal skills as well as knowing proper social ettiquette and seeming enthusiastic and motivated. I would advise learning Java (any other programming languages are good too!) as well as having a firm grasp on mathematical reasoning and critical thinking. I would believe that you also need to be enrolled in or have graduated from a 4 year degree program. Good luck!

"Better than expected"
I love the story, I like how Pratchett have written the story. Its alwayse intresting to read how diffrent people think about how men and women have to be treated equal.
I would maybe compare Windhaven. Both of these have something similar and both of them I lissen in one go.
I like the characters she gives to voices. Audio wasnt that good, sometimes it was quieter , sometimes louder. But the story is still great.
I wouldnt say move. It was intresting and fun, easy to lissen.
"Rude, if not mechanical"
Marking the Discworld series' first romp into gender politics, it's a carnivalesque delight, following the attempts of a young girl to become the disc's first female wizard. Introducing Discworld regular Granny Weatherwax and her headology,
Scatty and deliciously rude throughout, the bizarre goings-on on the journey to Ankh Morpork are highly entertaining.
Very well pitched.
"Narration not suited to the story"
While the narration was performed by someone who obviously has gobs of talent as an actress, it seemed to be at odds with the humour. The story centres on two female characters, so Celia Imrie made sense, but it felt as if I was listening to a children's story book. Pratchett's humour has a certain sharp edge to it and I found Celia's voice too soft to deliver the jokes effectively.
A talented narrator and a talented writer, but I don't think they work well together.
"Ruined by a terrible reading."
After listening to the first two Discworld novels (which were superbly read by Nigel Planer) I was very eager to get stuck into the third. But, for me, it didn't live up to the first two titles. I found the characters far less appealing than Rincewind, Twoflower and the luggage, and there's less humour in this story. I know that the first two books are sometimes criticized for being a series of random scenarios rather than a coherent story, but I personally loved that. I'm not a fan of fantasy in general, and that's why I loved the Discworld - it poked affectionate fun at the genre while having fun inside it at the same time. For this I felt the chaotic format of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic were ideal. This just didn't work as well for me. It has to be said that Pratchett was back on excellent form with the following title, Mort, though.
Also, and I know that enough has been said about this, but it needs to be stressed. Celia Imrie does an abysmal job of reading the book. Most of the time I felt as though she was reading a children's book to a four year old, that she herself was not very interested in. Quite often I had to repeat things in my mind in order to think, "Ah, yes, that could have been funny if delivered differently."
"In spite of other comments"
I found that Celia Imrie, given the chance that her reputation entitles her to, makes a fine job of the reading. Her rendition of Granny Weatherwax is at times a little upper crust for my taste but more than just believable. The whole is exactly as expected.
"Terry Pratchett is great"
I have enjoyed all the disc world books. The humour is amazing and the story line is always good.
"Great story, great performance, terrible audio quality!"
Love the voicing of the narrator. Wish I could hear it more clearly! iPhone app on high quality, and full encoding artefacts, varying constantly.
"DON'T BUY THIS RECORDING... of a wonderful story!"
This is a genuinely unbelievably DREADFUL narration by Celia Imrie. Don't get me wrong, she's a great actress and not even a bad reader... BUT she seems completely to have missed the tone, the wit and the characterization in the book. It is a tremendous story that i'd highly recommend anyone reading; however, CI's narration actually makes it slow-moving, dry and at times almost painful to listen to. It is the most APPALLING narration of a Terry Pratchett novel i have yet come across... or ever hope to. Whoever is responsible for recording TP books - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE re-record this book with someone capable of matching Stephen Briggs as a narrator. I don't care if it is a man or a woman, but test them on whether they actually get the wit & humour of TP before foisting this kind of disappointing mess on us TP fans. So so so DISAPPOINTING! I would give the performance ZERO, if i could. It is that bad!
The book is really a comic masterpiece from Pratchett's earlier years. To my mind they actually got better later on, but there are tremendous characters in this book - they are just egregiously ruined by Celia Imrie's narration here. Granny Weatherwax is one of the greatest characters in UK fiction - you wouldn't know that from this AWFUL narration of her character.
Stephen Briggs; Sandi Toskvig; Rebecca Front; Josie Lawrence; Someone who appears to actually UNDERSTAND the story
The book is fantastic. Given how TERRIBLE this narration is, i would suggest to anybody looking at it to buy the actual book to read it as a book or on an e-reader ... and wait until another decent performance is recorded if you want to listen to it. Again i can't recommend the actual book highly enough - it's superb!
Who the HELL is responsible for issuing such a witless interpretation of this marvelous book. CI may have messed it up, but she appears to be trying her best at least. BUT who on earth is the supposed editor responsible for ensuring that something of decent quality is actually offered to us the consumer? I am going to COMPLAIN and ask for my credit for this book to be returned - it is that bad!!
Whilst the story is fantastic the narration was very poor, waste of money! due to the voice echo didnt get past chapter 4 which is a shame as I love all the disc world books
"good story bad narrator."
didn't like the narrator bring back Nigel plainer! could have been better. good story though.

Georgia Tech claims spot in ACC title game at 6-5
Updated: November 19, 2012, 7:38 PM ETAssociated Press
ATLANTA -- A team that was routed at home by Middle Tennessee and fired its defensive coordinator at midseason will get a chance to play for a BCS bowl bid.
Georgia Tech (6-5) automatically claimed a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game on Monday when Miami self-imposed a postseason ban for the second straight year, looking to lessen the sanctions from an NCAA investigation into its compliance practices.
The Hurricanes (7-4) could have clinched the Coastal Division ...

Orchestra League Announces Getty Grant Recipients
Reflecting a growing commitment on the part of America's orchestras to increase their relevance to their communities, 22 innovative orchestra educational and community partnership programs from across the United States have been selected by the League of American Orchestras to receive first-year Getty Education and Community Investment Grants.
"More and more orchestras all over the country are finding innovative ways to help address community needs through music," said League President and CEO Jesse Rosen. "The Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation's commitment to encourage these important educational and community engagement programs is a great boost to orchestras' ability to provide community relevance beyond the concert hall," he commented.
A list detailing each grantee program can be found here.
A prerequisite for qualifying orchestras was the existence of partnerships with local cultural and/or community organizations, such as schools or social service providers. This year's grants, part of a new three-year, $1.5 million re-granting program from the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation, will fund both new and established innovative programs including: long-term in-school partnerships and afterschool programs; health and wellness initiatives in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities and nursing homes; and programs for the underserved and underprivileged, including incarcerated youth.
A total of $425,000 was awarded for the first year grants, with individual grant amounts ranging from $14,500 to $37,500 per orchestra. 45% of the grants were awarded to educational programs, 43% to health and wellness programs, and 12% to those serving other populations.
Applicants for the grants came from every orchestra budget group. The initial 204 applicants were narrowed by an independent advisory panel to 44 semi-finalists; all were then judged on six criteria: the degree of innovation and relevance to community needs; the orchestra's capacity to deliver; appropriateness to mission and community; appropriateness and strength of partnership(s); ability to assess outcomes; and professional development for musicians and staff.
The recipients for 2012-13 are:
Allentown Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Brooklyn Philharmonic, California Symphony Orchestra, The Central Ohio Symphony, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Hartford Symphony Orchestra, Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Madison Symphony Orchestra, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Omaha Symphony Association, Pacific Symphony, Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Portland (Maine) Symphony Orchestra, San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, Sphinx Virtuosi, and St. Louis Symphony (further details here).

These reports are the first studies to document this phenomenon, says a leading author of both reports, Norman J. Kleiman, Director, Eye Radiation and Environmental Research Laboratory at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University in New York.
Interventionalists have long known that they're exposed to these risks on a daily basis, and rules require that they be well protected from the neck down by a thyroid collar, a lead apron, and a curtain and in some cases a ceiling suspended screen, and other safeguards, Kleiman says. "But there are no federal or state regulations or international rules that mandate any kind of head, neck and face protection."
That's because it was commonly believed that the health risk threshold for radiation-caused cataracts was "about 10 to 50 times higher than what we now think the real values are. But based on those (earlier) published studies, people said 'I don't have to worry about it,' and didn't wear (eye) protection."
"We can't yet say for certainty that these individuals are going to progress to visual disability or need for cataract surgery," Kleiman says, "but based on certainly animal data and all human data we have so far, radiation cataract is progressive, not reversible and it gets worse in time."
He adds: "We're now seeing these changes in people at age 30, 40, 50, well below the age which we would expect them to get cataracts due to normal aging."

By Vicki Needham - 10/14/13 10:34 PM EDT
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has warned Congress that the nation's coffers will drop to $30 billion in cash by Oct. 17, and could be in danger of being unable to pay all its bill beyond that point.
In addition to opening the government and raising the debt ceiling, the deal between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) would create the all-elusive House-Senate budget committee to come up with a replacement for automatic sequestration cuts.
That group would have to report back to Congress by Dec. 13.
Democrats are also considering including language to require income verification for people applying for subsidies through healthcare insurance exchanges set up under the Affordable Care Act.
We'll see what Tuesday brings.
Debt ceiling talk: House Financial Services Committee ranking member Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) will chat on Tuesday with an impressive group of financial industry representatives about the economic implications of breaching the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling.
Waters will gather the experts who have been out front of the debate, warning policymakers about the potentially devastating consequences of failing to raise the debt limit before Thursday.
They include Jim Chessen, of the American Bankers Association; Scott Talbott, of the Financial Services Roundtable; Rob Toomey, with the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association; Marie Cavanaugh, of Standard & Poor's; Mike Williams, with the American Securitization Forum; and a representative from the AFL-CIO.

Sometimes this is true, other times it is for the appearance of greater security, and other times it is simply an authoritarian power …Read more

A Look at Our Growing Police State from Four Angles
Image courtesy HuffPo I grew up in a time when you respected authorities, but didn't place blind trust in them. The government was still reeling from Watergate and Vietnam, which led many to instantly question anything said by those in power. The downside was that soldiers returning from Vietnam who were themselves victims of a draft were lumped in and …Read more

Bakersfield in the 1980's went on a witch hunt against child molesters. The dragnet caught a lot of innocent people. They were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment. I read that the FBI reported that as many as 15% of inmates were either not guilty of anything or guilty of something significantly less than what they are doing time for you. It makes you wonder about "tough on crime" This is a Sean Penn film.

|Reviews for Tear You Down
| Guest chapter 7 . 3/20
it's one of the best story in that fandom.i fell so sad that you don't write anymore((
| Courtanie chapter 7 . 3/13
SO. I avoided this story for well over a year now because it was not marked as complete and I did not want my heart broken upon possibly finding out that you would never continue it. You tricky devil. Now I am angry I didn't take a gander sooner.
Holy shit dude. Holy fucking good god almighty shit. This is the best goddamn thing I've ever read in my goddamn life. And I know I am swearing like a goddamn sailor but I was doing that throughout my entire read-through. I have had to piss like a motherfucker for the last hour but I couldn't tear myself away until I finished and until I told you how friggin' amazing this story is.
Everyone is so true to their character. The interactions between Kyle and Cartman were so goddamn human I almost couldn't stand it. The descriptions and the blood OMG THE BLOOD. So much squickiness but that just made me fall in love with you all over again. The overlaying bittersweet tone of the ending was TOP FREAKING NOTCH. I cried a little, I am not ashamed to admit that I had to lie my head down and just sob for a bit.
I am the absolute worst at reviews but you know that I am your biggest goddamn fan so I just had to tell you how unbelievable you are. This story seriously just made my life. It flows perfectly, it grabs the fuck out of you and it will not let go. Agh. Just...just marry me. Goddamn I am on bended knee and I am ready to make you my bride. You're just incredible. Never stop being you.
| CartmanBros001 chapter 5 . 9/4/2014
dude...what the fuck?...I FUCKING LOVE THIS!
| yanera chapter 7 . 7/23/2014
*sob* that was so beautiful...you captured kyman in the way i've always dreamed...like really painful and abusive and yet so beautiful...and it could only be captured in war...you my good sir are amazing
| Sarah Archer chapter 7 . 5/24/2014
I LOVE THIS STORY. Good job! I'm glad you dumped that person instead of dumping your writing. It is fantastic.
| person chapter 7 . 4/11/2014
Glad to see others are chiming in. Your fic was part of a tradition that Courtanie and other hacks contributed to, and you should be ashamed of it now, to the point that I hope you'll delete it.
I love genre fic and hate when it's abused like this. "The Jew!" and "The Larger Man with the Fat Fingers!" It's cheap crap, and I hope you always knew it was cheap crap? If not I feel bad for you ...and yet I don't, because you also seem really, truly dumb as rocks.
Please don't pretend you understand what Cartman/Kyle could be just because you read some non-con anime fics as a kid and you want to recreate that hacky shit with new names subbed in ... that doesn't make you a writer, hun!
| Guest chapter 1 . 4/6/2014
The only believable thing about this is that Cartman derived pleasure from pain and humiliation. Passing off Cartman as a secretly sweet and gentle soul when he was actually a sociopathic, possessive Nazi rapist was a REALLY bad choice on your part. It only served to soften the blow of the rape scenes, as can be seen with a lot of the comments on here. Frankly, it's a little horrifying that almost every single one acknowledging the rape and abuse dubs them as hot and erotic - and it's even more disturbing that only ONE is pointing out the romanticized nature of the violence.
| oops chapter 7 . 4/2/2014
Oh hon! You seem like someone who read bad anime fanfic in the 90's, translated that to "sexy fanfic!" and who generally understands "sex" as something you read about in bad fanfiction...
Stay gone! You never understood this fandom or these characters, and it shows in your laughable attempts.
May you grace shitty fandoms I don't care about with your crappy writing forever! SP fandom is glad to be rid of you.
| Southslash chapter 7 . 3/20/2014
Wow. You are a GREAT writer. Those last two chapters were better and more vivid than most PUBLISHED NOVELS I have read. It really hit home just how evil Cartman was in the last two chapters. I was so dissapointed in him for surrendering Kyle to Damien in the tent. Then later with Kyle on his deathbed and he's still gonna rape him. How much more evil can you get. You also portrayed the gore in the last two chapters so brutally it was hard to read. Ironically that is a good thing. If there was more writing and entertainment like yours exposing the brutal side and the human cost of war it might deter future wars from being fought. Based on recent events I fear we have largely forgotten the lessons of WW2 and are once again circling the drain of brutal worldwide conflict.
| freewrider chapter 1 . 3/20/2014
Let me first off say, I absolutely love the history you incorporated into the story; I am a huge history nerd. ;) but besides fawning over your lovely story I found a bit of interesting information that you may or may not know...
"The ace of all fighter aces of all nations is German fighter pilot Erich Hartmann ("the Blond Knight") with 352 "kills."c"
However this is from the World War 2 era but I still thought it was pretty interesting.
"Lovely" story you've written and I hope to read more of your work.
| PIEMASTER chapter 7 . 3/13/2014
OMG BEST STORY EVER! D: but so sad. To put I frankly. It was beautiful. This is true art.
| ButtersBottomBitch chapter 1 . 3/12/2014
You have to be one the best, perhaps the best, fanfiction authors I have ever read. Your stories are extraordinarily well-written, heart-wrenching, and meaningful. If I had not known this was a fanfic I would have thought this was a published short story. Please never, ever stop writing.
| Cauana chapter 7 . 3/9/2014
Ok, my English is awful but I do my best to express everything I'm feeling when I read a truly fucking amazing story like yours. Excuse me for any mistakes. Now what really matters:
I stopped while I was reading and shouted out loud "FUCK THAT'S SO DAMN GOOD". First, of course, because of your talent. You write beautifully (most importantly) really knows how to construct a good story, how to tell it, how to surprise the reader and make them scream (at least I did).
Then we have your character construction. That's what separates the good fanfics from the great ones. Okay, first of all, I LOVE Kyle. He's the true reason why I even read South Park fanfiction. The writer may create a very nice story, but if they fuck Kyle's character up (which is easy to do, 'cause he has that freaking strong personality that can be hard to portray) I can't enjoy their writing. Well let me tell you: you did with perfection. I fell for him in the first lines, his love for flying, his fire, his anger combined with his kindness and sweetness... That's Kyle, this is who he is and you made him simply flawless compared to the character on the show that we all know and love.
Then we have Cartman. Gosh, I love Cartman. How can you not, right? And it's the same thing: some fics are ok but when Cartman is out of character is just awful. It's not that I don't appreciate when he's more mature and stuff, but even out of the war context, Cartman is a fucking psychopath. His relationship with Kyle would never work out, it's a love/hate sick thing and that's why we love it. I mean, of course my fangirl heart enjoys happy endings, but they are not real. And you knew that. You made it what it was: abuse. Cartman's obsessed and sick for Kyle. He may be the powerful alpha male but in the end he's the one who's all fours for Kyle (not literally, I hate to even think about it, haha). And you wrote such hot, SO unbelievably hot scenes portraying the abuse and pain that Eric caused him... And Kyle as this savage animal fighting for his life. When Cartman made him come, I almost fainted. I swear to god. And at the end you showed just how fragile Kyle made him. I loved every second of it.
Lemme tell you, I tried to have favorite ships here but it's impossible. I love Kyle with Cartman, I love him with Kenny, I LOVE him with Stan but didn't even miss it here. Cartman made him so miserable (though of course I couldn't hate him and my heart bled when he died) that deep in my heart I was rooting for Kyle to be with Kenny. God. Your Kenny was so hot, I can't even. He was the hero here. The good guy. I was even wondering how Kyle would ever have sex again after this whole experience. Hopefully with Kenny. ):
But it was a wonderful Kyman story. I loved how you turned the girls into lovers, it was so subtle but cute to mention. I loved Kip too, his devotion to Kyle was amazing. I felt so sorry for him on the episode, my heart melted when I read about him in your story. And Christophe was awesome, I hugged my monitor when he showed up to the rescue.
I don't want this story to end, that's why my review is so unnecessarily long. Sorry for any mistakes, again. I'm so anxious to read your other south park fics! Keep up the beautiful work, despite what anyone else says. 3
| yaoiking666 chapter 7 . 2/16/2014
Whyyyy you so much good yaoi I can't stop reading them never stop and I love your art
| JoTheRobo chapter 7 . 11/23/2013
Oh man. Okay, I'm actually sad that Cartman died. I loved this so much and I'm really sad that it's over. And that ending . . . Poor Kyle.
Yeah so this was pretty much perfect. Reading this became more important than doing homework or sleeping or eating or paying attention in class. Only really good fics have the power to do that. So thank you for writing something so heartbreakingly beautiful. You're awesome. Keep doing what you do.

The story follows the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British who travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck ('Please look after this bear. Thank you.') and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist...
Everyone's favorite marmalade-loving little bear is making a splash onto home screens as Anchor Bay Entertainment and TWC-Dimension release the critically acclaimed, heart-warming family film Paddington on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand this week. Paddington Bear was first introduced to children in Michael Bond's 1958 book, A Bear Called Paddington and the subsequent Paddington Bear series has sold over 35 million copies and been translated into 40 languages. For the first time, author Michael Bond has given his blessing for his beloved characters to be brought to the big screen, charming both critics and audience members alike. We have an exclusive look at the Blu-ray release with a new featurette that explores the effective use of silent comedy in this sure-to-be family classic.
From writer-director Paul King and producer David Heyman, the film features a stellar cast with Emmy nominee Hugh Bonneville, Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins, Oscar nominee Julie Walters, Oscar winner Jim Broadbent , Peter Capaldi with Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, and Ben Whishaw as the voice of Paddington. Paddington tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear who travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined until he meets the kindly Brown family who take him home after reading the label around his neck. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rare talking bear catches the eye of Millicent, a museum taxidermist.Read More
Paddington was budgeted at $55 million, making it Studiocanal's largest movie to date. The family movie has yet to open in two of the biggest international markets yet, with a release in China set for next month, and Japan's debut slated for 2016. It is also one of the best-reviewed movies of the year thus far, with a 98% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Paddington is expected to cross $250 million worldwide by the end of its run, a milestone Courson said is, "the level of a significant success for a family movie." Studiocanal's next family film, Aardman Animation's Shaun the Sheep opened this past weekend in the U.K., although a domestic release date has yet to be announced.
Although Studiocanal is best known for movies such as The Imitation Game, A Most Violent Year and the upcoming thriller The Gunman, the success of Paddington has lead to the studio planning at least "one or two" family movies per year in the future. As far as the Paddington sequel is concerned, it isn't known if cast members such as Nicole Kidman, Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Imelda Staunton, Michael Gambon or Ben Whishaw, who voices the title character, will be back for the follow-up.Read More
Paddington is an instant family classic, and will likely defy the expectations of those expecting another live-action CGI hybrid such as Scooby Doo, The Smurfs or Yogi Bear. Director Paul King is able to take the story of a young Peruvian bear known worldwide, and turn it into a unique and charming experience unlike anything seen before. It truly is a special little film, and it will surely continue to find an audience well after it leaves theaters. Its the type of movie that is impossible to hate on any level.
The movie follows Paddington as he travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined, until he meets the kindly Brown family, who read the label around his neck ('Please look after this bear. Thank you.') and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist played ethusiactially by Nicole Kidman.Read More
Frequent collaborators and The Voice co-hosts Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams have once again teamed up to deliver a new track for the Paddington soundtrack. Servicing as a nice theme song for the Peruvian bear who loves marmalade, the video for Shine has just debuted, offering plenty of footage from this family feature that is pleasing both critics and audiences like around the globe.
Paddington was released January 16th, 2015.Read More
TWC-Dimension announced today that Grammy award winning recording artists Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani have teamed up to co-write and perform the original song 'Shine' for the upcoming family comedy adventure Paddington. The film will be released in the US and Canada on January 16, 2015, with a qualifying run in December. The response to the film from advance screenings has already been fantastic.
Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani previously teamed up on songs including 'Hollaback Girl', 'Can I Have it Like That?', and 'Spark the Fire'. Pharrell Williams recently received an Academy Award Nomination for his original song "Happy" featured in the animated film Despicable Me 2.Read More

Looking at today's Islam, a growing number of Western long-chinned pundits have been suggesting that what Islam needs is reform -- much as Christianity and Judaism have reformed over the past 500 years. Christian reform, driven by the Reformation and then the Enlightenment, brought itself into comfortable compatibility with modernity. But what if, in the context of Islamic history, for today's Islam, Bin Ladenism is the reform? That is one of the startling suggestions of a deeply informing article by Max Rodenbeck in this month's New York Review of Books, titled "Islam confronts its demons."
While that journal is almost always filled with high-toned and scholarly anti-Bush hysteria, Mr. Rodenbeck's article, free from partisan cant and scholarly axe-grinding, should be required reading for thoughtful supporters of President Bush -- as well as his opponents. In four long pages of small type, the author discusses nine recently published books on the subject of whither Islam in the current maelstrom. The authors range from French Muslims to former CIA agents to British scholars. (Admission: I have ordered all the books from Amazon but have not yet read them -- when I have, I will report back to you. But just the review article, itself, gives one much to contemplate.)
Since September 11, Americans have started reading and thinking more about Islam. Much of that debate has focused on the nature of historic Islam. The advantage of this review is that it is assessing not what we Westerners think about Islam, but what Muslims themselves are thinking and arguing about today. No American or Western strategy intended to deal with the terrorism that is inspired by parts of today's Islam can afford to misunderstand the nature of Islam today -- the good, the bad and the likely path of its current rapid change.
As Mr. Rodenbeck reviews 14 centuries of Islamic reform history, he explains that there have been some reform efforts aimed at modernism and enlightened manners, which tried to break free from Koranic textual literalism. But that "more often than not, 'reform' in Islam has pushed in the other direction, toward the reassertion of the primacy of founding text ... using the double-barreled power of the sword and the book ... to launch jihad-minded movements."
Blankley, who had been suffering from stomach cancer, died Saturday night at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, his wife, Lynda Davis, said Sunday.
In his long career as a political operative and pundit, his most visible role was as a spokesman for and adviser to Gingrich from 1990 to 1997. Gingrich became House Speaker when Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives following the 1994 midterm elections.

Secretary of State John Kerry says religious freedom 'is a birthright of every human being'
"(The commission) congratulates the State Department for its admirable work reporting on the many ways religious freedom is violated around the world," chairwoman Katrina Lantos Swett said via press release. "Given that religious freedom conditions are deteriorating in many countries, the State Department's extensive documentation of the nature and extent of these violations is especially important."
Despite offering high praise for the State Department, the Commission of International Religious Freedom still thinks Kerry should be more aggressive in identifying countries of particular concern. In fact, the Commission of International Religious Freedom issued its own findings on April 30.
In that report, the commission singled out seven additional countries it wants the State Department to tag as countries of particular concern — Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Vietnam.
Moral matter or practical point?
As executive director of American Religious Freedom at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Brian W. Walsh is primarily concerned with preserving and promoting domestic religious liberties. But Walsh also believes international religious freedom is an important policy pursuit for America — and to substantiate such a sentiment he relies on his inner sense of morality.
"We've long been the world leader in protecting religious freedom," Walsh said. "Because of that, we have moral authority. Just as the West took on apartheid in South Africa, it's important for those who have a tradition and practice of protecting religious freedom to make sure that the oppressed around the world are being remembered and that such injustice does not go overlooked."
Shah, though, sees a much more practical reason for promoting international religious liberty. He said freedom of religion is foundational for the type of long-term stability contemporary societies need to flourish.
"Ambassador Cook is absolutely right: Religious freedom is not just an abstract human right," Shah said. "It is a recipe for societal success. When societies respect religious freedom, they do better. They succeed.
" ... In societies where there is religious repression, you tend to have extremely unstable societies in which there is at least massive distrust, and often open violence and conflict. Religious freedom prevents that from happening; it creates a society in which it says to everybody, 'You have a secure place here.'"

A Primer For Selling Online Engagement
by Kevin Mannion on Mar 26, 11:30 AM
Since I have been writing for MediaPost, I have focused most of my columns on various facets of engagement, hoping to contribute to the industry dialogue on this topic, by suggesting ways that we can think about engagement in a way that enables advertisers and digital sellers to buy and sell more effectively. And so I thought it would be a good idea to offer a primer (disclosure: ex-college & high school teacher on the loose) that pulled together some of the central ideas I have been writing about here for the past 15 months or so.

What Is 'Better'?
by Kory Kredit on Mar 19, 11:31 AM
As marketers, we are continually working to position our product or service as something "better": better than it was before, better than our competitor, something that will provide a better quality of life. How each of us defines better, however, depends on the context and the audience. There are many different paths, apparently, to Internet advertising nirvana. How do we find the greener grass in this digital pasture? Let's look at a handful of ideas that have generated recent headlines.

Eight Things I Hate About You
by David Koretz on Mar 12, 10:15 AM
We lived fast and loose the last few years. As executives, we sometimes spent money too carelessly, as salespeople we sometimes oversold, and as publishers we failed to innovate our product and help advertisers measure success nearly as much as we should have.

Team Publishing: Stop Whining
by Ari Rosenberg on Mar 5, 11:15 AM
Full disclosure: I am tired of hearing publishers whine about the declining value of the online display advertising they sell. They did this to themselves. Can you name any other medium that forces consumers to view more than one advertiser at the same exact time the way online publishers do?

Diddy "Bugs Out" Over Oscar Win, Director Makes Black History
Sean "Diddy" Combs can now add an Oscar statue to his award cabinet, since the film he executive produced, Undefeated, took home an academy award for the best documentary at last night's Oscars!
Not only is this [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Diddy[/lastfm]'s first Oscar, it also marks the first Academy win for an African-American director, T.J. Martin, who shared directorial duties with Daniel Lindsey. In his acceptance speech, an excited Martin dropped an "F-bomb," for which he later apologized.
Through a series of tweets, Diddy offered his own astonishment. "Holy Sh*t!!!!," he tweeted. "I am buggin," "God is the greatest!!! Thank you! #undefeated !!!!"
The Diddy-produced Undefeated follows an embattled Memphis, TN high school football team and its dedicated coach, as they turn around the football program, which had never one a play-off game in their 110-year history. Along the way, the players learn life lessons that extend outside the field of play.
This morning, it was reported that the White House has ordered a print for screening.
