<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">For National Library Week, Honors College Professor Ellen Handler Spitz wrote an essay in City Paper that examines the value of borrowing books, especially children’s books, from the library. “Feeling rebellious over our dizzying speed-mad era of e-books, e-readers, digital and virtual realities, I want to advocate for the practice of borrowing a good old-fashioned book from the library—especially now, during National Library Week. I want to remind everyone of the simple joy of settling down in a cozy nook, turning well-worn pages, and reading aloud to a child,” Spitz writes. She discusses the value of reading children’s books of the past and …</div>

<Title>Laura Hussey, Political Science, on MarylandReporter.com</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">A Maryland Democratic gubernatorial candidate forum held at Towson University April 17 drew attention to college student participation in the upcoming election. Laura Hussey, an assistant professor of political science, was interviewed for an article posted on MarylandReporter.com, and she noted interest groups and political parties tend to notice when candidates devote their time to appealing to younger voters – the generation that will serve as the future workforce behind their causes. “The Obama campaign benefited from appealing to college students greatly,” Hussey said. “There are benefits beyond the actual votes.” To read the full article  on MarylandReporter.com, click here.</div>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">In an op-ed published in The Baltimore Sun on April 15, Political Science Professor Thomas Schaller writes about how the increased use of credit cards will likely lead to more consequences than fraud. In addition to loss of consumer privacy, Schaller writes relying exclusively on credit cards leads to another big cost: the burden of servicing credit debt. “When big banks get over-leveraged, they turn to the government for bailouts. And guess what? So do individuals: Americans’ average credit card balance dropped after the financial crisis — which sounds like good news until you learn that the decrease resulted from millions of people …</div>

<Title>Digital Fabrication Summit to Focus on 3D Printing</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Leaders from 3D printing, fab labs and laser technologies will participate in a Digital Fabrication Summit to open the new Potomac Digital Fabrication Center at BWTech@UMBC in Baltimore, Maryland (US). The event will be held on 6 May 2014 and is being organised by <a href="http://www.potomac-laser.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Potomac Photonics, Inc.</a> in cooperation with the non-profit <a href="http://fablabhub.net/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">FabLab Hub</a>. The summit will bring together visionaries who are leading the next industrial revolution.</p>
    <p>Avi Reichental, chief executive officer (CEO) of <a href="http://www.3dsystems.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">3D Systems Corporation</a>, will deliver the keynote, “Manufacturing the Future.” 3D Systems has been at the forefront of digital fabrication since company founder Chuck Hull invented stereo-lithography in 1983. Reichental has been one of those responsible for the dramatic shift from a technology for specialised applications to tools for mainstream markets. Potomac is an authorised 3D Systems equipment reseller and service provider and is creating a 3D printing equipment showcase in the new facility.</p>

    <p><em><strong>Example of 3D printing</strong></em></p>
    <p>Dr. Neil Gershenfeld, director of the <a href="http://web.mit.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Massachusetts Institute of Technology</a> (MIT) <a href="http://cba.mit.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Center for Bits and Atoms</a> and founder of the FabLab concept, will address the broad implications of digital fabrication for society. Kegan Fisher, founder of <a href="http://www.sols.co/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Sols</a>, will describe her experience as director of industrial engineering and operations at <a href="http://www.shapeways.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Shapeways</a> in New York, New York (US) building the Factory of the Future. Ellen Hemmerly, executive director of the BWTech@UMBC, will speak about the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University of Maryland Baltimore County</a>’s (UBMC) commitment to science and engineering excellence designed to prepare students for the 21st century workplace.</p>
    <p>Potomac is bringing 30 years of expertise and collaboration opportunities to the UMBC Campus. Mike Adelstein, president and CEO of Potomac, will host the new centre’s ribbon-cutting and Dr. C. Paul Christensen will speak on the developments he has seen in digital fabrication since founding the company in 1983. Tours of the Potomac Digital Fabrication Center will round out the day.</p>
