<Title>How (Not) to Win the URCAD Selfie Contest</Title>
<Tagline>Pro Tips on the Art of the Selfie from UMBC Faculty &amp; Staff</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Ms. D. Michaels (Division of Information Computers and Calculators) provided us with a fine example of how <em>not </em>to win the URCAD Selfie Contest on April 12, 2023.<div><br></div>
    <div>"That $100 prize is clearly mine," said Michaels, a longtime UMBC employee, who submitted her selfie by fax machine this morning. Unfortunately, Michaels' selfie is somewhat unintelligible- staff members thought it could be a dog, a loaf of bread, a blanket or a combination of all three. This is a salient example of how <em>not </em>to take a selfie.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>"No, I took a selfie," said Michaels when questioned. "It's me with my dog sitting on my lap. What's so confusing about that?"</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Ms. Michaels still has time, however, to submit a second attempt and she could still win one of several fabulous prizes. Here's how:</div>
