<Title>Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office -- Fall Internship</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The Office of the State's Attorney is accepting applications for Fall 2013 </div>
    <div>internships/externships for both law students and undergraduates. </div>
    <div>Applications will be </div>
    <div>accepted until August 9, 2013.  Applications received after that date will not be </div>
    <div>considered.    </div>
    <div>In order for the internship experience to be of value for the intern and the Office, interns </div>
    <div>must commit to volunteer for at least 12 hours per week for at least 10 weeks.  </div>
    <div>The Office does not offer any paid internships and does not provide parking except at the </div>
    <div>District Court facilities where parking is available for the general public.  A criminal </div>
    <div>background and traffic record check is required for all applicants.  Applications are </div>
    <div>considered in the order in which they are received. </div>
    <div>Law school interns assist prosecuting attorneys with compiling discovery, obtaining </div>
    <div>police reports, doing legal research, listening to jail calls, assisting in court, and drafting </div>
    <div>and filing pleadings but also assist in some administrative tasks. Law school interns will </div>
    <div>be assigned to Circuit Court Divisions and will be located at 120 East Baltimore St.   </div>
    <div>Undergraduate interns are assigned to the District Courts or to the Juvenile Division and </div>
    <div>assist primarily with administrative tasks including answering phones, copying, </div>
    <div>deliveries, organizing files, etc. </div>
    <div>Assignments to specific Divisions are made in light of the needs of the specific Divisions.  </div>
    <div>Interns will be advised of placement upon on the first day of service. Interns do not </div>
    <div>rotate through Divisions but are assigned to a single Division for the length of their </div>
    <div>service.  Requests for transfers among Divisions will not be granted. </div>
    <div>How to Apply: </div>
    <div>Interested persons should submit a cover letter and resume to </div>
    <div>
    <a href="mailto:internresume@stattorney.org">internresume@stattorney.org</a>. no later than August 9, 2013. In the subject line, please </div>
    <div>indicate "Internship" or "Externship." Cover letters must include dates of </div>
    <div>availability and the specific days and times of the weeks that you intend to </div>
    <div>volunteer.  Without this information, we will be unable to process your </div>

    <br><div>
    <span>Today’s students inhabit a visual, networked culture. They connect and communicate with their peers - and the </span><span>public - through digital media. Many assume that these “digital natives”are fully literate with regard to media; </span><span>however, we believe that students need guidance, support and inspiration to realize their full academic potential </span><span>with digital media. </span><span>Teaching with Digital Media Online Summer Course offers K-12 educators an opportunity </span><span>to investigate how to provide that guidance, and to explore the ways in which media can be used to enrich teaching </span><span>and
     learning, building on the Common Core Standards which focuses on 
    research and writing skills with both print and non-print texts. This 
    course is designed to help teachers stimulate and </span><span>motivate students by integrating digital media into their classrooms, using whatever tools are available. </span>

<Title>Welcome INDS Director Dr. Freeland!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Last week, Patricia La Noue officially handed over leadership of the INDS program to incoming director Stephen Freeland.<br>
    <br>Stephen comes to us from Hawaii where he managed an interdisciplinary  team of scientists who together comprised one of the 14 nodes of the NASA Astrobiology Institute (<a href="https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/nai/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/nai/</a>). In his personal research, Stephen is an evolutionary biologist, interested in the origins of fundamental biochemistry. Over time, his research questions have grown beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries - for example, his most recent research publication reports a mineral in Martian meteorites that might help scientists understand the origin of life on Earth! (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0064624" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0064624</a>)<br>
    <br><div>Stephen comes to INDS with both great respect for the existing program and with enthusiastic vision for growth over the next five years. "I perceive my mission is to sustain and consolidate the many strengths of INDS while finding creative new ways to connect with the broader campus community - and with the world beyond Hilltop Circle". Of
     particular interest to him are the interface between science and religion ("With its diverse student body spanning so many dimensions of 
    contemporary American society, UMBC has a powerful voice to offer 
    here"), and the ways in which arts, humanities and social sciences can 
    communicate and facilitate research in science and engineering ("It is 
    easy to forget that the very concept of a graph was an early 
    interdisciplinary invention - using art to understand a mathematical 
    relationship was a radical idea. What new opportunities are emerging for
     us to communicate scientific knowledge - through writing, music and 
    art?")<br>
    <br>
    </div>Overarching these examples of specific interest, Stephen 
    is eager to listen and learn from the collective insights of those 
    already engaged with INDS: "I welcome the chance to meet with any of our
     majors, alums, faculty and friends who feel that they have an idea to 
    share."</div>

    <span>The
    Dresher Center for the Humanities at UMBC announces a call for applications for
    two research fellowships for UMBC graduate students working on humanities

    the end of the fall semester, to participate in other lunchtime faculty
    research discussions during the semester, to attend a majority of the
    Humanities Forum events and to participate in other Dresher Center activities,
