Kate Drabinski, lecturer of gender and women’s studies, was a guest on the program and discussed the importance of watching the show with a critical mind.</p>
    <p>“Part of me worries that <em>The Wire </em>is so good in terms of drama that people think watching the show means that they understand the depth of what’s happening in Baltimore and the complexities of the histories here and the complexity of the lives that are lived here,” Drabinski said.</p>

<Title>Reminder: Campus Website Upgrade This Saturday Morning</Title>
<Tagline>Campus Website upgrade Saturday at 8am</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span>We wanted to remind everyone that on <strong><span>Saturday June 13th</span> around 8am</strong> we will be migrating the main campus website environment so it is running on new hardware and software. This past fall an emergency preparedness exercise was conducted by the campus and it became clear that in the event of an emergency one of our main methods of communications, the campus web server, would be unable to respond to the demands placed on it. The new web environment will be running a modern set of web protocols and the infrastructure will be able to scale and meet the demands of the campus moving forward.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>To help prepare for this transition we have been working with OIA to test compatibility between the main website as well as some of the departmental websites hosted on the main campus web server. We have been working with various departmental web administrators throughout the campus to help make this transition as smooth as possible. </span></p>
    <br><p>If you notice any issues after the upgrade please either contact your department's web administrator or open a RT ticket at <a href="http://rt.umbc.edu">http://rt.umbc.edu</a>.</p>
    <p><br></p>
    <p>Thank You</p>

<Title>Sunil Dasgupta, Political Science, Writes about World Politics in ISN Following FIFA Arrests</Title>

<Title>Observations of Black Hole Jet Collision published in Nature</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">UMBC Astrophysicists Eileen Meyer and Markos Georganopoulos have recently published an article in the journal <em>Nature</em> (along with colleagues from STScI, FIT and JHU),  discussing recent observations of a jet from a super-massive black hole in the galaxy NGC 3862.  Using 20 years of imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope, the scientists were able to track the motion of high-energy plasma in the jet, clearly visible by eye in a movie created from the four epochs of observation.  They found that one bright ‘knot’ of plasma in the jet is in the process of colliding with a slower-moving knot just downstream. Colliding knots have long been theorized as a way to accelerate the particles which produce high-energy radiation in many astrophysical jets, but this is the first time such a collision has been observed. The paper appeared in the May 28th online edition of Nature.
