This might be the end of the road for Man-Ram.
The Athletics just announced that they have released Manny Ramirez at his request.
This comes as surprising news, but perhaps it shouldn?t be. Ramirez was eligible to return from his 50-game PED suspension at the end of May, but the A?s kept him with Triple-A Sacramento because they weren?t satisfied with his production. The 40-year-old was then bothered by hamstring tightness. He has turned things around a bit recently, hitting safely in six straight games, but he hasn?t shown any of the power we?ve seen from him in the past.
Ramirez ended his stint with the the River Cats with a .302/.348/.349 batting line in 69 plate appearances. He collected three doubles and zero homers while posting a 17/5 K/BB ratio.
UPDATE: Courtesy of Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, here?s a statement from Ramirez?s agents at Praver Shapiro Sports Management:
?Manny believes he has demonstrated that he is ready to return to the major leagues. However, given that the Athletics could not give Manny any assurance that they plan to promote him in the immediate future he asked for his release. Manny thanks the Athletics for providing him with this opportunity.?
The Athletics enter tonight?s action dead-last in the majors with a .224 batting average. If they aren?t willing to give Manny a shot, what does that tell you?

glasgow school of art Image 1
A MAN who designed a car driven by James Bond has been given an honorary doctorate from the art school he studied at.
Ian Callum, from Dumfries, designed the Aston Martin Vanquish which was driven by Pierce Brosnan as the 007 agent in Die Another Day.
He is now a design director with Jaguar and says he is getting ready to launch the F-Type, the company's first two-seater convertible for about 50 years.
Mr Callum was selected for the Glasgow School of Art honour for creating "cars that motorists across the world dream of driving" and for his commitment to design education.
He graduated from the school's industrial design course in 1977.
Now based in Warwick, the 57-year-old said he is "deeply honoured" to be chosen to receive the degree.
"To get the honorary doctorate is fantastic," he said.
"It is an honour of course but especially from Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University because I came here as a student and I love the place. So it feels terrific. I'm very happy."
On designing a Bond car, Mr Callum said: "I designed the Aston Martin Vanquish and ultimately it became part of the James Bond scene. He used it in one of his films and it was a great thrill to see it there. It kind of just reinforced the car's glamour and it was very thrilling indeed.
"I was at the opening of the film as well so it all felt very special. To see something you've designed and worked on not just as a car but something that's a focal point of the film industry is extremely exciting."
Mr Callum said he felt privileged to be working with Jaguar on the F-Type.
"Really it's the first two-seater sports car we've designed since the E-Type, so it's a hugely significant car for the Jaguar brand and we're all very excited about it. It's going to be a terrific car and I'm very honoured to be part of the the whole history of that car and the making."
Professor Seona Reid, Glasgow School of Art director, said: "Ian Callum is at the top of the game in automotive design and a great champion of design education. As a graduate in industrial design, the pre-cursor of our current product design engineering course, he is a great inspiration to our students."

As wireless technology becomes more advanced, the demand for more sophisticated options to stream media from your mobile device to your HDTV steadily increases. It's hard to keep track of the various solutions companies are using to deliver this feature to their customers. DLNA, the most popular standard, is compatible with an army of dozens -- if not hundreds -- of products, while giants like Apple and Samsung have chosen different routes. After an arguably unsuccessful attempt at offering the DLNA standard via the original Media Link, HTC has decided to fly solo with the Media Link HD in the hopes that the accessory will add value to the company's high-end One handsets.
We have little doubt that HTC is trying to keep the Media Link HD small and simple: it's a credit-card-sized dongle that easily fits in the palm of your hand, and only takes a smooth, three-finger gesture to pair it up with your One X or One S. Once connected, it gives you the opportunity to stream movies to your television and perform other tasks on your phone at the same time. A solid concept, to be sure, but is it worth shelling out at least $90 for this little darling? Tune in below to find out.

(Note: explicit sexual content)
BELLEFONTE, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Two more men testified in Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse trial about being molested by the former Penn State assistant football coach, and a university campus detective on Thursday recalled Sandusky saying "I wish I were dead" after being confronted by an alleged victim's mother about showering with her son.
Prosecutors moved toward wrapping up their case in the closely watched trial in Pennsylvania. Judge John Cleland told jurors before breaking for lunch at the Centre County Court in Pennsylvania that prosecutors, who began presenting evidence on Monday, could conclude their case by Thursday afternoon.
Sandusky, the former defensive coordinator for Pennsylvania State University's successful football program, faces 52 counts of abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. If convicted on all counts, he faces a sentence of more than 500 years in prison.
The day's first witness was a 25-year-old man who said Sandusky bear-hugged him in a shower when he was a young boy and lifted him to rinse shampoo out of his hair, after which his memory of the event ends. "It's all black," he told jurors said.
Another 25-year-old man also told of showering with Sandusky as a young boy, sleeping at the former Penn State defensive coordinator's home and trying to "get away from him" when he touched his penis.
They were the sixth and seventh alleged victims to testify. The eighth and final of the alleged victims due to testify was set to appear later in the day. The judge told the jurors the trial was running much more quickly than expected.
Also testifying was Ronald Schreffler, a former Penn State campus detective who investigated one of the incidents and said he told Sandusky he should not shower with boys. No charges were brought against Sandusky at the time.
Sandusky, who retired in 1999, is accused of meeting his alleged victims through the Second Mile charity for needy boys that he founded.
The first witness of the day said he met Sandusky in 1998 when he was 11 years old at a picnic hosted by the Second Mile. Sandusky invited him to work out at a Penn State campus gym, which was deserted when they went there late in the day, the man testified. The two wrestled and lifted weights for about 15 minutes and Sandusky told him it was time to shower, he said.
"My immediate thought was, 'I'm not really sweating yet, it'd only been about 15 minutes," said the witness.
In the shower, Sandusky grabbed him from behind and said playfully, "I'm going to squeeze your guts out" and bear-hugged him, the man testified haltingly.
Sandusky lifted him to rinse shampoo out of his hair, he said. "That's the last thing I remember about being in the shower. It's all black," said the man, identified in court documents as Victim 6.
The boy's mother reported the incident to university police and it was investigated but no charges were filed.
The man testified that he had continued to have contact with Sandusky. He sent Sandusky emailed Fathers Day and Thanksgiving Day greetings in 2009. The man said the email was one he had sent to all those on his list of friends.
When defense attorney Joe Amendola asked the witness, "Did the change in your attitude have anything to do with hiring an attorney and thinking that there might be some financial gain for you?," the man answered: "Zero."
'I WISH I WERE DEAD'
Ronald Schreffler, a former Penn State University detective who investigated the incident, said that in agreement with the boy's mother he and another officer eavesdropped on her when she confronted Sandusky about it.
"During the course of the conversation, Mr. Sandusky made the statement, 'I wish I could get forgiveness, I know I won't get it from you. I wish I were dead,'" Schreffler testified.
He said he and an investigator for the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare met Sandusky, and Schreffler told him he should not shower with boys again. Sandusky agreed and said he had used "bad judgment," Schreffler said.
The case, which has focused fresh attention in the United States to the issue of child sexual abuse, prompted the firing of university President Graham Spanier and head football coach Joe Paterno, record-holder for most wins by a major U.S. college football coach. Paterno died of lung cancer in January.
The seventh alleged victim to testify said that he had slept overnight at Sandusky's house about 50 times over a three-year period from 1998 to 2001. He said he had met Sandusky at a Second Mile event.
The witness said he slept all but one time in the basement and the coach often would get into bed with him and tickle, blow on his stomach, kiss his shoulders and sometimes touched his penis, giving him an erection.
"At that point I would roll over and try to get away from him. I knew I wasn't supposed to have one in front of a man," said the man, known in court documents as Victim 3.
He also went to work out at Penn State with Sandusky a few times. They showered together, and the coach bear-hugged him from front and back and soaped him, including on his buttocks, he said.
The man said he was living with his mother and younger brother at the time. When he was placed in group homes and then foster care, he said he never heard from Sandusky again.
Under cross examination by Amendola, the witness admitted inconsistencies in his testimony, such as not telling a grand jury in 2011 that Sandusky had soaped his buttocks or kissed his shoulders. He also had told the grand jury he had stayed at Sandusky's home a number of times in the upper 20s, not 50 as he testified on Thursday.
Reuters' policy is not to identify victims of sexual crimes.
Testifying on Thursday afternoon, Anthony Sassano, the lead investigator for the state attorney general's office, showed photos and other records of alleged victims that were recovered from Sandusky's home and from papers he had abandoned at Penn State when he retired in 1999.
Amendola has said the accusers are out for money. He has said that Sandusky might have acted inappropriately but is not a molester.
The trial is taking place amid a heavy media presence in the small town of Bellefonte, about 10 miles northeast of State College, site of Penn State's main campus.

LONDON ?? The genteel but lucrative world of academic publishing is being stirred up by a dispute over who pays for and who profits from scientific research funded largely by taxpayers.
Scientists' careers are made, and broken, by the quality and volume of articles describing new discoveries that they publish in top journals such as Nature, Science and Cell.
And it's big business, with the market in academic journals worth about $8 billion a year globally, according to analyst estimates.
A new low-cost scientific journal unveiled on Tuesday with an unusual business model will add to the pressure on publishers like Reed Elsevier and Axel Springer and stoke the debate over free access to research.
The founders of the new journal, called PeerJ, come with a pedigree. Peter Binfield previously worked for PLoS One, the most successful part of the not-for-profit Public Library of Science, which has pioneered open access to scientific papers, and Jason Hoyt comes from the research database group Mendeley.
It is backed by venture capitalist Tim O'Reilly and will publish research in biological and medical sciences using a revenue model based on a one-off payment ranging from $99 to $259 for lifetime membership per researcher, rather than payment per paper or subscription by readers.
Debate and boycott
Supporters of so-called "open access" publishing, including about 12,000 researchers who have joined a boycott of the world's biggest academic publisher, Elsevier, argue the subscription publishers are profiteering.
Open access players charge the researcher but access is free and unrestricted upon publication.
Research published in top journals sits behind a pay wall. But their content is provided largely for free by scientists and peer-reviewed by unpaid academics, with the journals then sold to those same academics via their university libraries for thousands of dollars per year.
The publishers say the criticism is unfair. They argue that quality does not come cheap, and they have to pay teams of editors and the cost of maintaining servers that store vast amounts of published research.
"What we do as publishers is huge and it is complex," said Alicia Wise, who is responsible for Elsevier's policy on access to its journals, at a briefing with reporters.

Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: Bulgarian archaeologists are showing off two centuries-old skeletons that they say were pinned down in their graves with iron rods to keep them from turning into vampires.
Elsevier publishes more than 2,000 journals with a staff of some 7,000. It made a profit last year of 768 million pounds on revenues of 2.1 billion, giving a margin of about 37 percent, which is healthy by the standards of any industry.
Other publishers are less forthcoming about their margins. Nature Publishing Group is owned by privately held Macmillan and therefore does not have to disclose its earnings, and Springer corporate strategy executive Wim van der Stelt told Reuters the company does not reveal its margins for academic journals.
Not black and white
The debate over open access has focused on the ethical questions raised by companies making large profits by restricting access to published research. But the issue is more complex than it sometimes seems.
The Wellcome Trust, which funds scientific research with about 600 million pounds a year, supports open access for all research done with its money and, with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Max Planck Society, is launching a journal this year, called eLife, based on the open model.
Yet only 55 percent of scientists with trust funding currently comply with its requirement to publish in open access media, said Wellcome spokesman Mark Henderson.
This is not a surprise given the natural desire of researchers to get published in top journals. But the trust has plans for sanctions to encourage holders of their grants to comply, including the possible withholding of future funding.
"We are not against publishers making a profit," said Henderson, but he added that research funded by the trust cannot have its greatest impact unless freely available to the public.
Based on similar concerns, the British government has commissioned a report on open access, which is expected in the next few weeks, from a group led by the sociologist Janet Finch.
Reed Elsevier points out that although UK universities pay an estimated 150 million pounds a year in scholarly journal subscriptions, this is eclipsed by the roughly 180 million pounds a year that Reed Elsevier pays to the Treasury in taxes.
The company has also spent 600 million pounds over the last 12 years on digitizing the research in its archives.
Across Elsevier's journals, about 950,000 papers are submitted yearly and only 300,000 are published. As global spending on research and development rises, the number of papers looks set to rise.
Elsevier also argues that fees have come down and now average about 70 pence, or about $1.10, per download.
Another criticism of pay-wall publishers such as Elsevier is that they limit access to valuable research for scientists in developing countries who cannot afford the subscriptions.
Elsevier says its participation in the Research4Life program makes this research available in 78 developing nations for free and in a further 28 countries at a heavy discount.
Adding to this already complex picture, the traditional publishers, most notably Springer, are also dabbling in open access themselves.
Quality versus quantity
Critics of open access argue that the revenue model favors quantity over quality ? essentially, the more the journals publish, the more money they make.
Although research published in open access journals is peer-reviewed, it is judged only on accuracy rather than its significance in pushing forward the boundaries of knowledge, they say.
Open access publishers like the not-for-profit Public Library of Science are growing fast in terms of the number of papers they publish, but they still are estimated to have just 3 percent of the global scholarly journals market, even after about 10 years in operation.
While some argue that the shift to open access is unstoppable, others point out that the same was said of open source software like Linux, which remains far from taking over the world of desktop computers.
Prestige and a high "impact factor" ? a measure owned by Thomson Reuters that calculates the frequency with which journal articles are cited elsewhere ? will continue to drive researchers to the top journals.
Equity analysts are watching the debate closely but so far the majority seem dismissive about the impact on the likes of Elsevier and Springer.
They point out that the current boycott, with some 12,000 signatories vowing not to participate in Elsevier's journals, represents less than 1 percent of those journals' readership and is smaller than a similar boycott a decade ago, which signed up about 30,000 researchers and spawned PLoS.
Elsevier's subscription contracts with universities typically run for three to five years, meaning any impact on its earnings would be gradual.
So, will PeerJ be a commercial success and will it accelerate the shift to open access?
"I think it's significant," said Mark Ware, an analyst at research and advisory firm Outsell Inc. "But authors are a pretty conservative bunch, and whether or not they will want to play by these new rules remains to be seen."
Ware noted that the pricing strategy for PeerJ has a compelling "viral" element. Papers are invariably authored by teams of scientists ? and they would all need to be paying members of PeerJ to be published there.
The founders of the new journal are credible, Ware says. "You've got a combination of three people who are all serious players. ... Are these investible people? I would say yes."

LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) ? Smoke from a massive wildfire in northern Colorado was blowing into southeast Wyoming and smudging the skies above Cheyenne on Wednesday.
Overnight winds from the southwest blew smoke into Wyoming, leaving a pungent odor in the air around the state's capital city, which is 50 miles north of the fire. The smoke had drifted south to Denver on Tuesday but skies there were clear a day later.
The fire 15 miles west of Fort Collins has burned 73 square miles, destroyed more than 100 structures and forced hundreds of people from their homes.
The evacuees face extended displacement and uncertainty, though some may find out Wednesday whether their houses are still standing.
Evacuee Jan Gueswel still swears she'd never live anywhere else.
"I would rather live in Poudre Park than in an apartment where I don't know what my neighbor is doing," said Gueswel, who fled her home with her husband, Carl, as northern Colorado's High Park Fire exploded.
She and others say they'd long ago accepted the year-round risks of fire in mountain country.
Many residents in the mountains of southern New Mexico faced heartbreak: A 56-square-mile fire threatening the village of Ruidoso damaged or destroyed at least 224 homes and other structures. Workers found heaps of burned metal and debris on home sites hit hardest by the Little Bear fire.
"It's truly heartbreaking to see the damage done to this beautiful part of the country," New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said.
The fires have underscored the need to replenish the nation's aerial firefighting fleet. This week, the U.S. Forest Service announced it was increasing the national fleet to 17. And on Wednesday, President Barack Obama planned to sign a bill aimed at speeding the contracting of the next generation of air tankers.
A 62-year-old woman died in her cabin in Colorado's High Park Fire, which was caused by lightning and has destroyed more than 100 structures. More than 600 firefighters labored to build containment lines as air tankers and helicopters focused on protecting buildings.
Gueswel expressed her gratitude.
"I don't want anybody to die for my house," she said. "I love my house, but I don't want to die for it, and I don't want anyone else to die for it."
In Wyoming, where crews made gains on two wildfires, state forester Bill Crapser said firefighters throughout the West are coping with drought, stands of trees killed by bark beetles, more residents in forested areas and a decades-old buildup of fuel ? the legacy of quickly stamping out fires, rather than letting them burn as nature intended.
Forest residents need to do their part by clearing their property of fuel, he said.
"That's a tough thing to sell to a lot of people, because they move out there so they can have pine trees leaning over the top of their house," Crapser said. "That's part of the allure of it. But it's also part of the danger of it."
Across the West:
? California: A wildfire that briefly threatened homes in Kern County is contained.
? Colorado: About 1,000 firefighters and 100 engines were at the High Park Fire on Wednesday. It has cost $3 million to fight.
? New Mexico: Nearly 1,000 firefighters and more than 200 National Guardsmen are on the 56-square-mile Little Bear fire. Containment is 35 percent. More than 500 firefighters bolstered lines around the Gila fire, the country's largest at 438 square miles.
? Utah: Two wildfires blackened 4,000 acres in Fishlake National Forest in southern Utah. Meanwhile, a preliminary report found an air tanker that crashed June 3 while fighting a wildfire in southern Utah, killing both pilots, hit mountainous terrain about 700 feet off the flight path of its lead plane.
? Wyoming: Investigators determined a fire burning in Guernsey State Park was human-caused. It is 95 percent contained, while a 13-square-mile fire in Medicine Bow National Forest is fully contained. The risk of new fires is high in much of the state because of dry air and expected strong winds.
? Arizona: A 2,600-acre wildfire in the Tonto National Forest northwest of Phoenix is 40 percent contained. It is threatening no buildings.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) ? Who says toothpicks are not valuable?
Police in Georgia are trying to figure out who stole about 400,000 toothpicks worth nearly $3,000 from a manufacturer in Athens.
Police tell the Athens Banner-Herald (http://bit.ly/KGnzJJ ) someone took six cases from Armond's Manufacturing Company Inc. about two weeks ago, and another seven cases disappeared last weekend.
Each case contains 288 packages of 100 toothpicks.
Police say there were no signs of forced entry. The owner believes a current or former employee might be responsible.
Two employees told the owner they saw a man selling containers of Armond's toothpicks at a flea market last weekend.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's presidential contenders lock horns for a final televised debate on Sunday night with front-runner Enrique Pena Nieto under mounting pressure from student-led opposition.
Pena Nieto, candidate of the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), has led polls for the July 1 election for over two years, but in the past month the race has tightened due to growing misgivings about the possible return of the PRI.
Lifted by a wave of student opposition to Pena Nieto and the PRI, leftist hopeful Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has surged into second place in most polls. He insists he is on track to claim the presidency after narrowly losing the 2006 election.
Ahead of the debate, thousands of young people staged a demonstration against Pena Nieto in Mexico City, following another protest in the capital on May 19.
Organizing through online social media, the protesters have awakened memories of the PRI's checkered past, playing on the party's reputation for corruption and authoritarianism when it ruled Mexico from 1929 to 2000.
Less than a month ago, the PRI seemed certain of victory but since opposition to his party's return began to increase, Pena Nieto's poll ratings have wobbled. Nonetheless, he still holds a double-digit lead in most surveys.
A voter survey by pollster BGC published on Thursday by newspaper Excelsior gave Pena Nieto support of 42 percent, a lead of 14 points over both Lopez Obrador and Josefina Vazquez Mota, candidate of the ruling National Action Party (PAN).
"The debate could be a game changer," said George W. Grayson, an expert on Mexico at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. "It's hard to tell because we've never seen Pena Nieto in a strong confrontational situation."
However, the potential to inflict damage on Pena Nieto would likely be limited by time constraints and because Vazquez Mota needed to attack Lopez Obrador too, Grayson said.
"I think he's going to hold his own," he said.
The PAN, which ousted the PRI in 2000, has struggled under President Felipe Calderon to cope with drug-related violence and a weak job market, allowing Mexico's old rulers to regroup.
The youth-led opposition to the centrist PRI has stressed the party's links to entrenched interests like Mexico's dominant broadcaster Televisa, pointing to media reports alleging that Pena Nieto owed his rise to deals with the media group.
The latest allegations surfaced on Thursday in British daily The Guardian, which said it had acquired documents that appeared to show that Televisa had helped to raise Pena Nieto's national profile and had worked to sabotage Lopez Obrador's 2006 bid.
Televisa rejected the claims and demanded an apology from the newspaper, while Pena Nieto dismissed the story as "totally false" and a "rehash" of old allegations.
The Guardian story generated massive interest in online social media in Mexico and the left-leaning daily La Jornada devoted several pages of its Saturday edition to it.
Fernando Dworak, a Mexico City-based political analyst, said the report was unlikely to have a big impact as The Guardian had been unable to confirm the documents were genuine and because a significant part of the claims had been known since 2005.
"Lopez Obrador presented part of what was in The Guardian in the first debate. And it didn't have an effect," he said.
MEXICAN SPRING
What has changed since the first debate on May 6 is the visibility of opposition to Pena Nieto and the PRI.
On May 11, students at Mexico City's private Ibero-American University heckled and booed the PRI candidate for his record as governor of the State of Mexico between 2005 and 2011.
Afterward some Pena Nieto supporters questioned whether the Ibero demonstrators really had been students, helping to galvanize his youth critics. Leading the online opposition that emerged was a movement called Yosoy132 ("I am 132").
Explicitly anti-PRI, the group took its name from 131 people who identified themselves on YouTube as students at the protest, and it has since helped to organize marches against Pena Nieto.
The student leaders say they are independent, although Lopez Obrador has championed their cause and newspaper El Universal published a photo of his son in a Yosoy132 T-shirt on Sunday.
Activists at Sunday's march slammed Televisa and Pena Nieto, attacking him for the police brutality that took place under his watch when the State of Mexico government put down an outbreak of civil unrest in the town of San Salvador Atenco in 2006.
"We don't want Pena Nieto. It would be a return to the past," said Viviana Diaz, a 34-year-old education worker. "I want a better life for him," she added, pointing to her son.
University professor Rodolfo Dominguez carried a sign saying "Mexican Spring" and said he was proud of Mexico's youth.
"What you're seeing now is unprecedented in this country three weeks before a presidential election," the 61-year-old said. "I think it'll lead to a change in who people support."
Others commemorated the anniversary of the notorious killing of student protesters in the capital by a paramilitary group known as the Halcones (Falcons) on June 10, 1971.
Estimates vary on how many died in the attacks by the Halcones, who prosecutors said were created by the PRI government. Investigators have put the figure in the dozens.

Kim, 22, grew up in La Habra and beat cancer twice, after she was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was 11-years-old.
She underwent two surgeries in a matter of six years before she was pronounced cancer-free a year after her second surgery in December 2007.
"As a cancer survivor, I have a greater sense of urgency to live my life with purpose," Kim told CSUF News.
"Tomorrow is never promised, but we often become comfortable in the `daily grind.' My cancer journey has helped me prioritize my values and really invest in things that matter: family and friends," she said.
Despite her setback, Kim continued to participate in La Habra city sports and traveled to Australia soon after her first surgery to compete in a soccer tournament.
"I didn't want my condition to be a handicap or excuse not to continue with it or whatever goals and plans I had.
"I wanted to be able to accomplish things and didn't want to be seen as different or not normal," she said.
Kim believes that her involvement with sports has helped with her cancerous battle.
Kim graduated with honors from Fullerton's Troy High School in 2008 and began her freshmen year at CSUF with a scholarship from the American Cancer Society.
The
public-administration major became involved with the university's Colleges Against Cancer Club and served as the survivorship chair of the first Relay for Life event on campus in 2009.That year, the event raised more than $27,000.
"I participated in Relay for Life all four years and this year was the biggest fundraiser we've," Kim said.
Kim credits her parents for her involvement with the community.
"They've always been very good about making sure my siblings and I know how important it is to be involved and serve the community," she said.
Kim plans on continuing to stay involved and volunteer with the American Cancer Society.
"It's something I'm very passionate about and I don't see myself quitting," she said.
Kim was also a member of CSUF's College Republicans and completed an internship two years ago with Rep. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton).
She is planning on pursuing a master's degree in public policy next year after she completes her fellowship for the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining.
Kim will serve as a Public Administration Fellow following a 10-week training session in West Virginia on June 22.
"Georgetown University is my first-choice, but it depends on where I go for a full-time position next year when I am done with my fellowship," she said.
Kim intends to work for a government agency like the Federal Bureau of Investigations in the future and focusing on environmental policies.
