<Title>Teaching Engagement: My Path to BreakingGround</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">by Carolyn Forestiere<div><br></div>
    <div>Becoming involved with BreakingGround was completely unexpected for me. Almost by accident I found myself in a large workshop in the AOK Library at which I learned about "civic engagement" pedagogy. At first, I had no idea 1) what civic engagement really was; 2) why it was inherently desirable for learning outcomes; and 3) how I might build it into in a course. I must confess that I was even reluctant to think that the conversation had anything to do with how I should be teaching my Political Science classes...

<Title>Stripped of their Rights in America</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><a href="http://usdemocrazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/AAdisenfranchisement.png" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img alt="" src="http://usdemocrazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/AAdisenfranchisement-300x248.png" width="300" height="248" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p>
    <p>There are <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2014/02/12/how-felon-voting-policies-restrict-the-black-vote/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">5.8 million </a>voting-aged Americans who cannot vote.</p>
    <p>Why? Because these citizens have at one point in their lives been convicted of a felony.</p>
    <p>Florida, Kentucky, and Virginia are the three states that ban anyone who has been convicted of a felony from voting. Maine and Vermont are the only two states that have no voting bans whatsoever. All the other states have some sort of voting restriction given to those with criminal background.</p>
    <p>Recently, Attorney General Eric Holder made a <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/eric-holder-makes-case-for-felons-to-get-voting-rights-back/2014/02/11/b0556492-932b-11e3-84e1-27626c5ef5fb_story.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">statement</a> calling on FL, KY, and VA to repeal their voting laws:</p>
    <blockquote>
    <p>“It is time to fundamentally reconsider laws that permanently disenfranchise people who are no longer under federal or state supervision.”</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>The disenfranchisement along racial lines has been a big argument in repealing these laws. Currently in Kentucky, Virginia, and Florida, over 20% of African American adults cannot vote due to their criminal history.</p>
    <p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/02/21/stateline-voting-rights-for-felons/5675327/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Kentucky</a> may be making huge changes in their voting laws due to a bipartisan agreement in the U.S. Capitol led by Republican Sen. Rand Paul.</p>
    <p>Rand Paul has <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/02/21/stateline-voting-rights-for-felons/5675327/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">stated</a>:</p>
    <blockquote>
    <p> ”One mistake in life shouldn’t permanently block a citizen’s access to the ballot box. The right to vote is among the most important rights we have. It is something for which people in other countries have lost their lives.”</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>If Kentucky lawmakers reach an agreement, citizens will vote on it this fall.</p>
    <p>Check out these <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2014/02/12/how-felon-voting-policies-restrict-the-black-vote/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">maps</a> by <em>The Washington Post </em>that clearly show disenfranchisement in the United States.</p>
    <p>What do you think? Is this modern disenfranchisement acceptable? </p>

    <p>Dear Textbook Publishers,</p>
    <p>I have a question for some of you. Having been in administration for 
    quite a while now, I know that sometimes things that seem easy and 
    obvious from the outside, aren’t. So I’m wondering if there’s a smarter 
    answer to this than anything I can figure.</p>
    <p>Why aren’t all of you issuing all of your major textbooks in formats that are accessible to students with disabilities? .............</p>

The scholarships are funded by donations from U.S. corporations and foundations to the US-Japan Bridging Foundation, and administered by the American Association of Teachers of Japanese. Since 1999, the Bridging Scholarship program has awarded more than 1,350 scholarships to students studying abroad in Japan.</span><br><br><span>The deadline for applications for the Fall 2014 semester or the 2014-2015 academic year is April 8, 2014.

    <div><span><span><span>A: </span></span><span>Trying to get people as excited for UMBC events as I am.</span></span></div>
    <div><span><span><br></span></span></div>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><strong><span>Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?</span></strong></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span><span><span>A: </span></span><span>I love working at Student Life. It's so incredible to be around people that are constantly looking for ways to enrich the lives of UMBC students, and the fact that I get to be a part of it all is amazing. A huge part of what I do is promoting and documenting various events on campus, which gives me a chance to attend events that I might not have gone to on my own, and a great opportunity to meet people I otherwise might not have ever had the chance to meet!</span></span><br><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Along with promoting events, SEB is what makes many amazing events come to life on campus. From planning an event from scratch to actually helping run it, being involved in the process is extremely rewarding.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Mostly recently, when I joined Alpha Sigma Alpha, I became part of the amazing Greek community on campus. It's such an exciting and supportive community, definitely one of the best decisions I have made in my college career so far!</span></div>

    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span><span><span>A: </span></span><span>College is all about trying new things and leaving your comfort zone. Getting involved in various student organizations, clubs, and really anything on campus is so important. There are so many opportunities for students to *actually* make a difference and meet incredible people at UMBC, and there is a place for everyone here, you just have to leave your dorm room and find it!</span></span><br><span><br></span>

    System for 2014 by Cyber Defense Magazine -- Industry’s First Behavioral
     Analysis-based Core IDS for Detecting Advanced and Zero-Day SQL 
    Injection Attacks Named Winner in Cyber Defense Magazine’s Second Annual
     Awards Program</em><br><br>SAN FRANCISCO (RSA Conference 2014 Booth 901 South Expo), Feb. 24, 2014 
    -- DB Networks, an innovator of behavioral analysis in database security,
     today announced that Cyber Defense Magazine, the industry’s leading 
    electronic information security magazine and media partner of the RSA® 
    Conference 2014, has named DB Networks’ IDS-6300 as the winner of the 
    New InfoSec Technologies Award in the Most Innovative Intrusion 
    Detection System awards category.<br>
    <br>
    Winners of the second annual Cyber Defense Magazine Awards were selected
     after many months of review by leading independent security experts.<br>
    <br>
    “We’re thrilled to recognize next-generation innovation in the 
    information security marketplace and that’s why DB Networks has earned 
    this award from Cyber Defense Magazine,” said Pierluigi Paganini, 
    Editor-in-Chief, Cyber Defense Magazine.  “Some of the best InfoSec 
    defenses come from these kinds of forward thinking players who think 
    outside of the box.”<br>
    <br>
    DB Networks’ IDS-6300 intelligent security appliance is the industry’s 
    first next-generation Core Intrusion Detection System (IDS).  The 
    IDS-6300 leverages patented behavioral analysis technology for 
    comprehensive SQL injection intrusion detection -- uniquely addressing 
    SQL injection issues that have plagued the industry for more than 15 
    years.  DB Networks’ intelligent security appliance delivers advanced 
    and Zero-Day SQL injection attack
     detection with the industry’s first Core IDS that combines behavioral 
    analysis and advanced continuous database monitoring, addressing 
    specific compliance requirements within regulations such as PCI DSS, 
    HIPAA, GLBA, and NIST spec 800-53.<br>
    <br>
    For a personal demonstration of the DB Networks IDS-6300 next-generation
     Core IDS and the opportunity to meet with members of the team, visit DB
     Networks at the RSA Conference 2014, being held in the Moscone Center 
    in San Francisco from Feb 24 -- 28, in Booth # 901 in the South Hall.<br>
    <br>
    “Cyber Defense Magazine’s honor of DB Networks’ IDS-6300 designates our 
    company as an innovator delivering the industry’s most accurate SQL 
    injection attack detection solution,” said Brett Helm, Chairman and CEO 
    of DB Networks.  “This award recognizes our unique approach of 
    behavioral analysis to protect companies’ databases.”<br>

    <strong>About DB Networks</strong></span><br>DB Networks is innovating behavioral analysis technology in the field of
     database security.  Developed for organizations that need to protect 
    their data
     from advanced attacks, including Zero-Day attacks, DB Networks offers 
    effective countermeasures against SQL injection and database Denial of 
    Service attacks.  Database attacks happen rapidly -- in a matter of 
    minutes -- and bypass traditional perimeter security measures.  DB 
    Networks’ unique approach uses behavioral analysis technology to 
    automatically learn each application’s proper SQL statement behavior.  
    Any SQL statement dispatched from the application that deviates from the
     established behavioral model immediately raises an alarm as a possible 
    attack.  DB Networks is a privately held company headquartered in San 
    Diego, Calif.  For more information, see <a href="http://www.dbnetworks.com">http://www.dbnetworks.com</a>, or

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>At Mobile World Congress, a preview of a central way to manage washing machines, parking meters, and glucose sensors.</p>
    <p>According to booth-manning reps at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, IBM later today will announce an “Internet of Things Cloud” with free enrollment of the first ten connected gadgets–whether washing machines or parking meters.  It’s the kind of teaser more closely associated with, say, file storage on Dropbox.  While this “IoT Cloud” will be for businesses, it will provide tools for those businesses to write apps for ordinary folks, such as for health-monitoring and home-management systems. </p>
