Did you see Liz Banks (C'96) last night on the Valentine's Day episode of "30 Rock" where she played a CNBC political correspondent and love interest to Alec Baldwin's character?

She then appeared on Letterman a couple hours later and talked to Dave about "checking her dignity at the door" when she used to audition for commercials in her NY days (see video above).  Liz also revealed that she will be on "30 Rock" for "the rest of the season".   (As you may recall, Liz was on Letterman last year when she was promoting her films "W" and "Zack and Miri Make a Porno")

Next up for Liz: hosting the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Science and Technical Awards on Feb. 20

Sometime last year I came across this great "rant" that was published in the Wharton Undergraduate Journal by a Penn alum by the name of Fu-zu Jen (SEAS/WH, 2003).

Her piece is dedicated to all those nice guys who finish last ...and it's a perfect post for my Valentine's Day Sampler Week.

Check out her moving rant after the jump!

If you haven't heard, there was a big enough storm on the east coast to warrant not one, but now two Penn "snow days". The last time a double snowday happened was during the winter of '94.  There seemed to be tons of students and faculty tweeting with excitement. One tweet said:

"just saw somebody skiing down locust walk."

Hysterical!

After the jump, check out 2 very visually cool time lapsed "snow" videos on Penn's campus!

At last year's Penn in Pictures event, Zach Lutsky (C'97, AEPi) talked about his experiences working as a medical consultant on the hit show "ER".

Now Zach tells me about "Miami Medical", the new Jerry Bruckheimer CBS drama he's been working on that debuts on April 2.   And if you saw the Superbowl yesterday, you would have seen the trailer for this new show during the 3rd quarter.  Otherwise, check it out above!

Per Zach,

"I was intimately involved with the writing and choreographing of ALL of the medical scenes in each of the first 13 episodes. I still work as an attending emergency physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center."

Miami Medical" is Jerry Bruckheimer's first medical drama about a "trauma-only" hospital in Florida. It is based on a real "trauma-only" hospital in Miami that is one of three such hospitals in the United States. It tells the story of a team of trauma surgeons handling the sickest and most severely injured trauma patients from accidents in and around Miami.
