<Title>Featured Professor: Dreamy</Title>
<Tagline>You&#8217;ve met your worst nightmare teacher, now get ready for</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Your Best Dream.</span></p>
    <p><span>You’ve had your fair share of teachers who don’t seem to make your idea of what it takes to be an effective teacher. You know which ones I’m talking about. The ones who like to assign you on Monday a coding project that’s due on Friday. Or the ones who ask for an eight-page essay and requires you to bring in your first rough draft tomorrow morning. Or the ones who schedule your exam the Wednesday evening of Thanksgiving break. Or the ones who like to take off ten points because you spelled their name wrong! I’m sorry your dad had a stupid last name that’s totally unspellable!</span></p>
    <p><span>Anyways, professor Timothy Starz-Galaxia has been the highest-rated professor UMBC has seen to date. A new professor this semester, Starz-Galaxia teaches Introduction to Astronomic Philosophy. What does that mean? Take his course to find out!</span></p>
    <p><span>Rate My Pro.fessor, not to be confused with the infamous website Rate My Professor, rated him as 10/10 for every category as well as handed him five chili peppers all with steamy lines on top. How perfect can he get? One student currently enrolled in his course claims: “His methods are insanely helpful and I feel like I’m actually learning from him. I haven’t even touched his textbook, which isn’t required because he knows his teaching is that awesome!” Another student says, “Starz-Galaxia really changed my life and how I study for future exams. Well, he doesn’t even give exams! It’s a totally stress-free class, but I keep coming back to every class because he’s incredibly engaging. Why can’t my Comp Sci classes be taught by him as well?”</span></p>
    <p><span>It seems as if Starz-Galaxia’s course is exam-, clicker-, textbook-, as well as assignment-free, which greatly reduces the stress of students because all they have to do is show up. Oh, I’m sorry. I have to say that students are not required to attend class, only strongly encouraged. But students seem to be coming in extra early to his lectures to be graced by his presence and to ask him life-altering questions. He seems to have the answer to all of them. And students don’t leave until he finishes every word of his lecture. Other teachers try to model his excellence but it’s hard when their respective departments require them to have actual quantifiable data to report grades. Starz-Galaxia’s department of Philosophical Cosmology only requires the teachers hold lectures because according to the department billboard: “the Universe has no bounds”.</span></p>
    <p><span>Enroll in his course for next semester now!</span></p>
    <div><br></div>
    <p><span>UPDATE:</span></p>
    <p><span>MBC News would like to apologize for such a star review of professor Timothy Starz-Galaxia for he has left his post as a professor of UMBC to transcend the mortal realm. The Universe be with Us.</span></p>
    <p><span><br></span></p>

<Title>Women's Center wins Breastfeeding-Friendly Workplace Award!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The Women's Center is excited to announce that we were awarded the Regional Breastfeeding-Friendly Workplace Award on behalf of UMBC this November. In recognition of the supportive work environment we provide to breastfeeding families via our lactation room and services, we were awarded the "Large" business size category at the Gold level of support from the D.C. and Maryland Breastfeeding Coalitions.</div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>DCBFC and MBC are nonprofit organizations, which unite breastfeeding advocates, health care providers, and families. They provide a forum for the development and exchange of resources and foster the establishment of breastfeeding as the normal way to nurture infants.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Studies have shown that work-site support of employees enrolled in a company provided lactation support program is a Win-Win situation. Employers benefit through increased rates of retention, employee satisfaction and morale. The health benefits of breastfeeding for mother and baby equate to decreased health care and insurance costs, and a reduction in sick leave requests to care for an ill child.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Support for breastfeeding mothers is part of the 2010 Affordable Health Care Act, which stipulates that employers must provide reasonable break time and a space, other than a bathroom, for a mother to express her milk. “Despite these regulations, nursing mothers are not always provided these supports in the workplace. The Breastfeeding-Friendly Workplace Awards seek to highlight and applaud those businesses and the varied creative ways they help women in the workplace”, says Dr. Sahira Long, President of the DC Breastfeeding Coalition. Previous winners have demonstrated how this can range from a small room to a large program replete with lactation consultants and support groups.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>“Each one of the businesses receiving a Breastfeeding-Friendly Workplace</div>
    <div>Award or a Health Care Provider Award is a role model for our region in how to support breastfeeding families. We are so proud to honor them,” says Dr. Dana Silver, Past President of the Maryland Breastfeeding Coalition.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Businesses were judged based on their size and the accommodations they provided to breastfeeding employees (breastfeeding support and education, and the time and space for mothers to breastfeed and/or pump breast milk in the workplace). Based on the number of amenities and processes to support breastfeeding, businesses received the awards at Gold, Silver or Bronze level.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Criteria for Health Care Provider Awards were based on the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine’s Breastfeeding-Friendly Physician’s Office Protocol. These offices represent healthcare providers who go the extra mile to support their tiniest patients and their mothers.</div>

    <div> As computers get faster, they change the world. Processors get smaller, the number of devices with processors gets bigger, and the amount of information that can be produced and transported grows exponentially. Everything on the planet, unless one can eat it, is likely to have electronic logic within - and, most recently, to be connected to other devices. Our way of life and critical infrastructures, from power and water to finance is enabled by this ability to process light, and transport information at that speed. The speed of computing is enabling new conveniences and capabilities, and furthering science in directions never before imagined from DNA studies to particle physics. This amazingly connected world, however, introduces new vulnerabilities as many connected devices were not designed to be safe from unauthorized access and use. We must pay special attention to protecting infrastructure components such as information and the intricate signaling systems that generate and distribute electricity. This requires specialized algorithms to mine the masses of data to recognize normal internet activity from potential threat indicators. The goal is to create a more self-healing network, accomplishing with information what nature does with biological responses - creating an electronic immune system. Cognitive computing can provide groundbreaking results in data mining and analysis that will enhance the Cybersecurity to protect the other applications such as genomic and physics research. Software and hardware developers need to work together to create the algorithms and custom hardware to minimize heat, maximize computation and, finally, create a secure design.
    
    We can use the speed of computing to enhance Cybersecurity as well - thus the paradox of the need for speed to protect itself.
