HFPA Grants Write a Better Future for Students

One school that has benefited from HFPA’s charitable efforts is Cal State Northridge. Since 1998, CSUN has received over $900,000 in grants to assist with students’ senior film projects and fellowship funding. Just last year, CSUN’s department of cinema and television Arts received an unprecedented $2 million grant with a portion going toward the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. Scholars Program to support underrepresented film and TV students in the industry. -- Variety

Ringo Starr: How the Beatles Benefited From Being Late to Digital

At home, I do it all. I love iTunes. Though the Beatles are streaming now and have had a billion streams, I haven’t actually done it myself. If I’m in the car, I usually listen to the radio, 88.5 Northridge [KCSN-FM, operated by California State University at Northridge]. I just love that channel, because it’s such a mixed bag. -- Bloomberg Businessweek

Still Bernie or Bust? Sanders Delegates Reassess After Clinton's Convention

The 23-year-old California State University Northridge student was one of more than 1,800 Bernie Sanders delegates at this year's DNC. She raised more than $2,000 on GoFundMe and an additional $1,000 through fundraisers and selling homemade Bernie pins. But being at the convention that named Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee for president proved as difficult as getting there. Sanders supporters repeatedly said they felt denigrated by Clinton delegates. -- NBC Bay Area

Here Lies Black Lives Matter Data

“Lab simulations can provide precise data in a controlled environment. But that environment often bears little resemblance to real-world policing.

The Wisdom of Three Women Artists

Falkenstein and I met after I singled her out for praise in my review of the "Americans in Paris: the 50s" exhibition at Cal State Northridge, organized by the late Merle Schipper. In my opinion, Falkenstein eclipsed her male counterparts. So appreciative of what I wrote, she sent me a postcard and, for a couple of years, I hung out with her at her Ocean Front Walk studio in Venice Beach. Her guests were always asked to write something in her "friendship book." Shortly before her death in the late 90s, when she was in failing health and had lost her memory, I made a final visit, at which time I opened the book to show her the self-portrait I had drawn in it years earlier. Claire's vision was about the shape of the universe. She talked about "the never ending screen" and "structure and flow" with exuberance and optimism in her voice. She loved the way the cosmos works. She described that "heaven isn't upwards, it's outwards," bringing a scientific perspective to one of religion's interpretations of life after death. -- Visual Art Source

First, Do No Digital Harm: Regulating Telemedicine

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Professor Shirley Svorny of California State University, Northridge, and the Cato Institute argues that Congress should use the power granted by the U.S. Constitution\'s Commerce Clause to pre-empt states' historical power to regulate physicians\' scope of practice ("Telemedicine Runs Into Crony Doctoring" Wall Street Journal, July 22, 2016). -- National Center for Policy Analysis
