Bb course shells for SU 2012 were created on April 16, and will continue to be updated daily. Bb shells are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, or discussion) listed in the UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC), provided that there was an instructor of record listed. The addition of new course sections and instructors will result in new Bb shells being automatically generated each morning. Student enrollment in Bb will continue to mirror the official registration in SA, and will update hourly.

If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the SOC, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to get that issue resolved.

Additionally in situations where one instructor is teaching multiple sections of the same course, by default all sections will be combined into one Bb course shell. If you want to have separate shells for different sections, or if you need a shell for for a research or independent study course, please submit a new course request or submit an RT ticket with your request.

As a reminder, all Bb course shells are initially unavailable to students until the instructor makes it available.

There’s 191 days until this fall’s election, and there’s one race that we at USDemocrazy have yet to cover…Leslie Knope’s bid for City Council.

For those uninformed, Leslie Knopes is the fictional character in the popular NBC comedy Parks and Recreation played by Amy Poehler.

The Pawnee native and employee of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department is challenging Bobby Newport – a daddy’s boy who threatens to close down Pawnee’s biggest employer, the Sweetums factory, if he’s not elected.

But Knope’s got one big edge over Newport in this fictional municipal election – a real life endorsement from AFSCME (the American Federation of State, Municipal, and County Employees).  Check out their rally for Knope below!

The union’s endorsement is a self-admitted attempt to get Amy Poehler to speak at their national convention.

An AFSCME employee explains why the union loves Knope and her team at the Pawnee Parks and Rec Department.

We love the show because too often public service workers are vilified by the media.

Instead Knope is a go-getter with the best intentions.  The show has taken relevant issues like tight budgets, machine politics, same-sex marriage (between penguins, but still), Tea Party politics as espoused by the show’s cult-like icon Ron Swanson, class-warfare between Pawnee and it’s rich neighbor town, and US-Venezuela relations.

Parks and Rec is this decade’s The West Wing – portraying government as for the masses, hard-working, and idealistic as well as preaching loud and proud that all politics is local.  And apparently, it’s working.  Over 16,000 fans have liked Knope 2012 on facebook and are demanding bumper stickers and yard signs.

Does Knope get your endorsement for Pawnee City Council?  How does the enthusiasm for Knope’s politics and leadership compare with the country’s dissatisfaction with politicians and government today?

What do The Legend of Zelda, Halo 2, and Super Mario World have in common?

They're all featured video games in the Smithsonian American Art Museum's latest exhibition The Art of Video Games.

The exhibition–which celebrates 40 years of video game history–takes a look at 80 video games that pushed the artistic and technological boundaries of their era. The ubiquitous Atari VCS classic Pac-Man makes the list, along with standbys like Tomb Raider, Fable, and Myst. Games were chosen by a public vote from a list of 240 titles compiled by exhibit curator Chris Melissinos, and come from twenty gaming systems ranging from the SNES to Playstation 3. In an NPR interview, Melissinos, founder of Past Pixels and an avid video game collector, demystifies why Mario resembles an Italian plumber, and offers a theory about how Pac-Man was conceived.

A select five games can be played during the exhibit: Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, The Secret of Monkey Island, Myst, and Flower. The exhibition also features video interviews with video game developers and artists, historic game consoles, and photos of in-game screen shots.

Catch the exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum until September 30, before it heads out on an across-country tour. On May 4, the museum is hosting Beyond Play: Video Games at Work, a series of free exhibition-inspired talks. At 1 p.m. "Video Games at Work" looks at the influence of video games on areas like health care, education, civics, journalism, and national defense. At 3 p.m. "Game Change: Society and Culture" looks at the impact of video games on our society and culture.

Mock Electricity Bill Program

Implementation of fake electric bill program for on campus apartment residents. We have a complex on campus that houses 300 apartments that are metered individually. We issue mock electric bills to the residents twice a semester. These bills help them compare their apartment use to the highest, lowest and average use in the complex. The bills also come with conservation tips on the back. In the spring, we co-sponsor a contest where the apartment with the lowest electricity use and the biggest decline in electricity use are awarded prizes.

Carbon Footprint Reduction
Reduction of carbon footprint by 14 percent in the last four years. This has mainly been achieved through energy conservation measures. We were recognized for these efforts in 2011 with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Environmental Excellence Award.

Clothing Exchange and Wellness Fair
A university-wide clothing exchange and wellness fair to celebrate Earth Day. The Office of Environmental Sustainability works with our Employee Assistance Program, student groups and academic apartments to put on a full day of events. The day begins with a wellness fair where health screenings like blood pressure checks, glucose screenings, spinal adjustments and pulmonary checks are done for free or low cost. The afternoon features exhibits around a main theme (this year was food and nutrition) along with small demonstrations on the topics.

In addition, the campus comes together to donate their gently used and unwanted clothes and exchanges them for some "new to you" clothes in a campus-wide clothing swap. Leftover clothes are donated to the City Mission. At night the student groups provide an array of educational speakers on sustainability topics and good some music to enjoy each others company while we celebrate the earth.
