Student Groups
BCLT provides administrative and financial support to the below student groups. These groups concentrate on specific legal skills or areas of the law, including public interest, allowing students to supplement their law school education with invaluable law & technology–focused activities.
BERC@Boalt | BTLJ | boalt.org | CAPS | Healthcare and Biotech Law Society
| Patent Law Society | Samuelson Clinic | SELS | UAEM
BERC@Boalt is the law school branch of the Berkeley Energy & Resources Collaborative a student-led organization which aims to connect and educate the UC Berkeley energy and resources community. The group acts as a bridge between the University's many schools, programs, and labs, and forges connections with the larger cleantech and energy cluster growing in the Bay Area and beyond.BERC@Boalt helps to inform law students about current legal practice and advances in the fields of energy, climate and clean technologies through curriculum development, an expanding alumni and professional network, the promotion of events and discussions centered on green issues, and creation of a Career Guide for Energy, Climate and CleanTech Law.
The group also connects members to industry professionals and graduate students in other UC Berkeley departments to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration, research and project development.
Please contact email@example.com if you would like to learn more.
Berkeley Technology Law Journal (BTLJ)
The Berkeley Technology Law Journal ("BTLJ") is a student-run publication of the Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California at Berkeley. BTLJ began as the High Technology Law Journal, publishing its first issue in Spring 1986. The Journal covers emerging issues of law in the areas of intellectual property and biotechnology; BTLJ strives to keep judges, policymakers, practitioners and the academic community abreast of the dynamic field of technology law.
The Journal's membership of approximately 165 students publishes three issues of scholarly work each year, as well as the Annual Review of Law and Technology. The Annual Review is a distinctive issue of the Journal published in collaboration with the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology and is dedicated to student-written casenotes discussing the most important recent developments in intellectual property, antitrust, First Amendment, telecommunications, biotechnology and business law. In addition, the Journal co-sponsors an annual symposium on a salient area of technology law.
In addition to the Journal's primary mission of publishing quality articles on the relationship between technology and the law, BTLJ has organized conferences in conjunction with the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology on a variety of topics. For each conference, BTLJ publishes a symposium issue, in which leading academics have published cutting edge scholarship on the issues raised at the conference.
boalt.org is Berkeley Law's public interest and technology group. Its activities fall into three main categories.
First, boalt.org works to make information technology more useful and accessible to students at Berkeley Law. It does this by advocating for additional computing resources, advising the faculty and administration on how proposed changes to computing services will affect students, and providing hosting for student group websites.
Second, boalt.org advocates on behalf of the public interest in debates over law and technology. For example, it has previously called for protections for anonymous speech online, a vibrant public domain, and stronger fair use protections,
Third, boalt.org provides a community and social activities for those who might best be described as law and tech geeks. Familiarity with Internet memes, a desire to "hack", and a love of LAN parties are signs that you may in fact be such a geek.
Consumer Advocacy and Protection Society (CAPS)
The Berkeley Consumer Advocacy and Protection Society (CAPS) is dedicated to fostering research, discussion, and advocacy in the field of Consumer Protection Law. We are committed to strengthening ties between consumer law groups and the Berkeley Law community. We work to: create networks between consumer law attorneys, advocacy organizations, and the Berkeley Law student body in order to promote the field of consumer protection law and provide training opportunities for students; foster community among student advocates whose interests intersect with consumer protection; and encourage and maintain consumer protection curriculum and clinic opportunities at Berkeley Law.
Healthcare and Biotech Law Society
The Boalt Healthcare and Biotech Law Society is a group of law students who are interested in examining and analyzing the intersection between law, society, policy, and science.
Our mission is to stimulate the intellectual and professional development of Boalt students interested in health and/or biotech law. We provide a forum for students with a broad range of interests.
Patent Law Society (Boalt Hall)
The Boalt Hall Patent Law Society is organized to serve as a focus group for students interested in practicing patent law; to provide a forum for students to have in-depth discussions regarding patent law; to engage patent law practitioners to share their experiences with students; and to provide opportunities for students to interact, network, and exchange ideas.

Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic
The Samuelson Law, Technology and Public Policy Clinic at Boalt Hall was the first clinic in the country to provide law students with the opportunity to represent the public interest in cases and matters on the cutting-edge of high technology law.
Since January 2001, students participating in the Clinic have worked with leading lawyers in nonprofit organizations, government, private practice, and academia to represent clients on a broad range of legal matters including Internet free speech and online and wireless privacy.
Students have represented clients before the Federal Communications Commission on issues of privacy and wireless communication technology, participated in the writing of amicus curiae briefs in the Yahoo! case in support of free speech, and collaboratively developed an online resource center to assist the public in dealing with a variety of Internet legal issues, including copyright, trademark, and patent infringement.
In addition to having the opportunity to put their high technology skills to use for the benefit of real clients, students in the Clinic participate in a seminar that joins the theory and practice of law. In the seminar, students learn and discuss underlying legal principles, explore the practice and theory of public interest representation, and "workshop" their cases.
Students participating in the Clinic play an integral role in defining how civil liberties and other public values will be protected in an increasingly high-tech world.
Sports and Entertainment Law Society
The mission of Boalt's Sports and Entertainment Law Society (SELS) is to educate the Boalt Hall community about legal opportunities and issues in the entertainment and sports industries. SELS also strives to facilitate opportunities for students to network not only with each other, but also with legal professionals in these industries. SELS regularly sponsors many events during the academic year, including both guest lectures and social events. SELS thereby provides a resource for students to connect with alumni and other industry-leading professionals and seek employment opportunities in the sports and entertainment industries.

Universities Allied for Essential Medicines
Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM) is an initiative linking members of universities in the US, the UK, and Canada who are concerned that the research, patenting and licensing policies of academic institutions are restricting access to medicines in poor countries. In cooperation with top experts in international medicine access and technology transfer, UAEM has created a unique contract that universities can adopt to increase access to medical innovations in developing countries while maintaining or even improving drug development.
UAEM chapters are forming at universities across the country to advocate for policy change. Here at Berkeley, students from law, medicine, business and public health have started a chapter and are looking for other interested students to join.

First Mathematical Model of 13th Century 'Big Bang' Cosmology
Unknown Lamer posted about 10 months ago | from the pesky-time-traveling-physicists dept.
60KentuckyFC writes "The 13th century thinker Robert Grosseteste is sometimes credited with predicting the Big Bang theory of cosmological expansion some eight centuries ahead of modern cosmologists. His theory, written in about 1225, is that the Universe began with a Big Bang-like explosion in which light expands in all directions giving matter its three-dimensional form. The expansion eventually stops when matter reaches a minimum density and this sets the boundary of the Universe. The boundary itself emits light towards the center of the universe and this interacts with matter, causing other nested spheres to form, corresponding to the fixed stars, the elements of earth, fire, water and so on. Now a team of physicists and experts on medieval philosophy have translated Grosseteste's theory into the modern language of mathematics and simulated it on computer. They say Grosseteste's theory produces universes of remarkable complexity but that only a tiny fraction of the parameter space corresponds to a universe of nested spheres like the one he predicted. What's interesting is that modern cosmologists face exactly the same problem. Their models predict many different kinds of universes and have to be fine-tuned to fit the universe we actually live in. 'The sensitivity to initial conditions resonates with contemporary cosmological discussion and reveals a subtlety of the medieval model which historians of science could never have deduced from the text alone,' conclude the team."

5-year-old's death ruled homicide
BALTIMORE (WMAR) - A Baltimore man has been charged with murder for killing his 5-year-old daughter said a Baltimore City police spokesperson.
According to court documents, 22-year-old Matthew Carr is charged with first and second degree murder, child abuse resulting in death, assault and reckless endangerment.
Originally, they were investigating the death of a five-year-old girl as suspicious.
But by Tuesday night, police were calling it a homicide.
A spokesman for the Baltimore City Fire Department says a 911 caller reported the girl was found unconscious in a bath tub. She was taken to Sinai Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Police are not saying if the man in custody is related to the victim.
"Police had somebody on the pavement last night in handcuffs," said Charles Rawlings, a neighbor. "It was a shock, a shame somebody would take a child's life like that," he said.
Police gave an update in the morning.

Frank Ocean "The Lonny Breaux Collection" Mixtape Download & Stream
Exclusive Frank Ocean Mixtape compilation of 64 songs previously unheard when he went by the name Lonny Breaux. Production Features include Midi Mafia, Underdogs, Clyde & Harry, J.R Hutson, Brian Kennedy and more.
Christopher Francis Ocean (born Christopher Breaux; October 28, 1987) in Long Beach, California, better known by his stage name Frank Ocean, is an American singer-songwriter from New Orleans, Louisiana. He grew up around its local jazz scene and listened to his mother's CDs on her car stereo, including albums by Celine Dion, Anita Baker, and The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. As a teenager, he did neighborhood chores and saved up money to rent studio time. As he recalled, "Oh man I had numerous hustles […] Washing cars was one of them, and mowing lawns and walking dogs." He enrolled in the University of New Orleans and moved into its dormitory in 2005. Ocean's early career was as a ghostwriter for artists such as Brandy, Justin Bieber, and John Legend. In 2010, he became a member of alternative hip hop group OFWGKTA, and his debut mixtape, Nostalgia, Ultra, was released the following year to critical acclaim. The singles "Novacane" and "Swim Good" both achieved chart success. The mixtape gained the interest of recording artists such as Kanye West, Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z, and he consequently appeared on West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne album.
In 2012, Frank Ocean finished second place in the BBC's Sound of 2012 poll, and appeared at Coachella and Lollapalooza festivals at the conclusion of his 2012 Summer Tour. His debut studio album, Channel Orange, was released in July 2012, promoted with three charting singles: "Thinkin Bout You", "Pyramids", and "Sweet Life". Ocean wrote an open letter, intended for the liner notes on Channel Orange, that would preemptively address speculation about his same-sex attraction; he instead blogged it on Tumblr. Ocean became one of the first major African-American music artists to announce that he had fallen in love with someone of the same sex, notable because the music scene is known for homophobia.
Ocean's music has been characterized by music writers as idiosyncratic in style. Ocean generally plays the electronic keyboard, and is backed by a subdued rhythm section in the production. His compositions are often midtempo, feature unconventional melodies, and they occasionally have an experimental song structure. In his songwriting, Jon Pareles of The New York Times observes "open echoes of self-guided, innovative R&B songwriters like Prince, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Maxwell, Erykah Badu and particularly R. Kelly and his way of writing melodies that hover between speech and song, asymmetrical and syncopated". While nostalgia, ULTRA featured both original music by Ocean and tracks relying on sampled melodies, channel ORANGE showcased Ocean as the primary musical composer.
Ocean's lyrics deal with themes of love, longing, misgiving, and nostalgia. His debut single "Novacane" juxtaposes the numbness and artificiality of a sexual relationship to that of mainstream radio, while "Voodoo" merges themes of spirituality and sexuality, and is an eccentric take on such subject matter common in R&B. The latter song was released by Ocean on his Tumblr account and references both the traditional spiritual "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" and the female anatomy in its chorus: "she's got the whole wide world in her juicy fruit / he's got the whole wide world in his pants / he wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band / then put the whole wide world on her hands / she's got the whole wide world in her hands / he's got the whole wide world in his hands". Certain songs on channel ORANGE allude to Ocean's experience with unrequited love.
Anyways, let's get back on topic. If you're like me and can't get enough of Frank Ocean and his latest mixtape, then The Lonny Breaux Collection is a MUST DOWNLOAD for you. Lonny Breaux was the alias Frank used before he went by Frank Ocean, and the download below consists of 64 unreleased tracks pre-Nostalgia, Ultra.

The heavily-subsidised US corn ethanol targets have been roundly criticised in the past year for the fuel's lifecycle GHG emissions. Several reports show them comparing poorly to fossil fuels, and use of corn ethanol is effectively restricted under new Californian fuel efficiency standards.
Meanwhile the European Union, which puts considerable amounts of money into meeting 2020 biofuel and biomass targets, is also continuing to weather heavy criticism of its sustainability criteria – or lack thereof – for the sources.
The Times claims to have viewed another report damning the sustainability of liquid biofuels being sourced by EU countries. A UK government study, it reports, found that meeting the country's transport fuel goals, "will result in millions of acres of forest being logged or burnt down and converted to plantations." Some commonly-used biofuel crops will fail the EU's own standards, according to the report:
Under the standard, each litre of biofuel should reduce emissions by at least 35 per cent compared with burning a litre of fossil fuel. Yet the study shows that palm oil increases emissions by 31 per cent because of the carbon released when forest and grassland is turned into plantations.
The Times also reports that the EU has carried out its own research, but is refusing to publish the results, while a leaked EU memo suggests that changes to the rules affecting 'indirect land use' would threaten the entire biofuels industry.
Finding lower-carbon sources of liquid transport fuels is a tricky business; biofuels are still mostly stuck in first-generation technology of turning plant sugars into ethanol, which means a big need for land, and the risk of competing with food production.
Using biomass for electricity at least has some rivals (wind, solar, nuclear, hydro, to name a few) – but the EU is also planning to significantly boost biomass power generation; plans which are not faring much better from environemntal scrutiny.
Friends of the Earth and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds critcised a set of new EU reports into biomass sustainability for failing to introduce adequate sustainability rules for biomass feedstock – especially when it is imported from outside the EU.
As well as doing nothing to limit biodiversity impacts, the report also fails to address the issue of carbon emissions. Forests are major carbon stores and turning them into fuel will add to greenhouse gas emissions. There is no robust legislation for governments to properly account for this so these emissions are often completely ignored. The report suggests relying on international processes to solve the problem but the rules to account for forest carbon emissions being discussed in the UN climate talks are going in the opposite direction.
In an impact summary released as part of the new biomass reports, the European Council describes its sustainability objectives thus:
The general policy objective is to guarantee a sustainable use of biomass for energy purposes. The specific objectives are to ensure that heat and power uses of biomass leads to (1) sustainable production, (2) high greenhouse (GHG) performance compared to fossil fuels and (3) efficient energy conversion of biomass into electricity and heating and cooling.
The operational objective is to establish sustainability requirements for solid and gaseous forms of biomass used in electricity and heating, as long as they are: – effective in dealing with problems of sustainable biomass use,
– cost-efficient in meeting the objectives and
– consistent with existing policies.
Perhaps that penultimate one – cost-efficient – is where the will to introduce stricter standards began to fail.
Importing material from far flung parts of the globe is fairly routine for biomass power generators. Burning waste to generate power sounds like a fairly straightforward proposition, but sourcing reliable supplies of feedstock is actually quite challenging, and sources are closely guarded by biomass generators.
Those plants have to act as reliable, ongoing source of power and the type of feedstock can't be easily switched. It's far more complicated than just sourcing supplies from some nearby farms – those supplies could be intermittent, for example, or contain material that could damage the plant.
FOE and RSPB say that EU efforts should instead focus on wind and solar power, but the intermittency of with those sources is at least as big a challenge as sourcing and verifying sustainable biomass feedstock.

A 19-year-old Gary man has been charged in Lake Superior Court with child molesting involving an 11-year-old girl.
Leventes A. Strong, of 1803 W. 39th Court, faces six to 20 years if convicted of the charge, which was filed after the girl told authorities she had been molested since age six or seven. The girl initially confided in a cousin that Strong had been fondling her and engaged in sex with her while she was visiting a relative in Gary.
Toddler found outside only in jeans
A neglect of a dependent charge has been filed against a Gary woman whose 2-year-old child was found outside early one December morning wearing only a pair of jeans.
Tierra Danyale McHenry, 23, of 2471 Central Ave., told police she'd gone down to the corner for a cigarette. Child Protective Services authorities took custody of all of McHenry's children.
Early on Dec. 22, a woman living in the same block told police she was awakened by the sound of a child crying and asked her husband to check on the noise. They brought the child inside form the cold, put some of their grandchild's clothes on the boy and gave him something to eat. While the woman was holding and rocking the child, she told police noticed a small burn on his head.
The charge is punishable by a maximum three-year sentence.
Woman taking booze cut worker
A woman slashed a Gary pharmacy employee after he caught her trying to steal liquor, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Kevin Bradley was working at Fagan Pharmacy at 5001 U.S. 20 Thursday morning when he noticed a woman enter the store. The woman fit the description of someone who had stolen alcohol from the store the day before, so he watched her as she moved around. He eventually saw her pick up an alcohol bottle and later slip it in her sleeve. Bradley then stopped her as she tried to leave and told her to sit as he filled out trespassing paperwork. Jones instead cut his left eye with what appeared to be an old can opener. He was able to handcuff her.
She now faces charges of theft and battery by means of a deadly weapon.

Home → Sustainability → Composting
Organics can constitute over 40 percent of our solid waste stream, by weight. By implementing separation and recovery programs, these various organic materials can be captured and their value recovered through composting programs and the production of helpful soil amendment materials. Many communities already have leaf and yard debris composting operations, which have been useful in diverting these organics from disposal at waste to energy facilities or landfills. Leaf composting programs can be readily expanded to accept other source separated organics, such as food scraps from residents, schools, cafeterias or restaurants. These food scraps are collected from the generators and delivered to a compost facility that is capable of receiving and composting these organics, which provides a source of nitrogen for the composting process and improves that biological activity. Department staff are available to assist local and regional efforts in developing or expanding programs that include waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting programs.
For more information on composting, please contact Mark King at email@example.com or by calling him at 207-592-0455.

Andrea Slobodian
Growing up in Winnipeg, Andrea Slobodian grew up watching CTV News (back when it was called CKY).
Her career roots were planted at a young age, when her mother used to "shush" her to be quiet her every time a news or weather report came on the television or radio. Her longtime aspiration has been to work at the station, and so she jumped at the chance to move back home from Alberta in October 2012 to join CTV as Anchor of the 11:30 p.m. nightly news.
Andrea is a proud graduate of Red River College's Creative Communications program and holds a B.A. in Communications from the University of Winnipeg.
For more than a decade, she has held a variety of roles in television, radio and newspaper newsrooms across Western Canada, primarily in Winnipeg and Calgary.
You'll occasionally see Andrea as fill-in News Anchor and Weather Anchor on CTV News at 6, as well as filing monthly Pet Ed segments with the Winnipeg Humane Society.
Outside work, she spends as much time as possible at the family cottage on Lake Winnipeg and is involved with events in Winnipeg's Ukrainian community, such as the Ukraine-Kyiv Pavilion at Folklorama.

Avoid, Remove, Repair
Be beautiful from the inside out with French Secret® preservative-free skincare and mineral makeup products, along with our exclusive dietary supplement, Beauty Secret From within. Avoid toxins that can be harmful to your health and nourish your skin to achieve a glow that comes from actually being healthy, not just appearing that way.
Read More...Our Philosophy
Since the end of WWII the output of chemical molecules into the environment has risen drastically. Many of these toxic molecules find their way into the body through the various skincare and makeup products that many people use daily. In fact, a study done by the Environmental Working Group, a non profit advocacy group, found that the majority of the products sold in the United States fail to meet one or more industry or governmental cosmetics safety standards.
The study of the relationship between environmental toxins and health began in the 1960s when scientists began to examine the correlation between disease and the environment. Research by scientists such as Mirko Beljanski, Ph.D. brought to light the fact that pollution in the environment is negatively affecting our DNA. Dr. Beljanski discovered that the normal structure of DNA is altered when exposed to pollutants in the environment.
Skin is an extremely absorbent organ, and we are in the habit of dousing it with all kinds of products that are meant to care for it. However, these products may have the effect of damaging our cells, causing more harm than good. Parabens (methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl) are used in the vast majority of cosmetic products as synthetic chemical preservatives and are suspected endocrine disruptors. Phthalates are plasticizers that make cosmetics like lotion or nail polish the right consistency and extend their shelf life. They can be found in an astonishing array of products, and emerging scientific studies are linking them to lower hormone levels and reproductive problems in men. Unfortunately, these are just two of the many kinds of toxins that can be found in common skincare products on the market.
Skin is our largest organ and performs various vital functions such as protecting internal organs and regulating temperature. It is the first line of defense but unfortunately it is also impacted by environmental toxins that can penetrate directly into the bloodstream. So, managing what you put on your skin should be a high priority.
This is why we have created the French Secret® line of skincare and mineral makeup products. We believe that, in order to be truly radiant, you have to be healthy from the inside out.

Srikakulam is a city, municipality and the headquarters of Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Srikakulam was formerly called Gulshanabad (Garden city) during Muslim rule and was headquarters of Muslim fauzdars. It was renamed as Chicacole by British colonial rulers; after independence, it was renamed Srikakulam.[4]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2011) |
This region of Andhra Pradesh was part of Kalinga region at first, and later a part of Gajapati kingdom of Odisha up to the medieval period. It was in the 'Bendi Shilpa' ruling in 1687 Srikakulam (Gulshanabad) was a village and formed as fauzdhari-center for their money transactions for the areas of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Vishakhapatnam, and some parts of Odisha. The word Gulshanabad derives from Persian words Gulshan that means Rose garden and -abad (cultivated place, or city). It was developed as a town in the Muslim ruling; today you can find more than 10,000 Muslims living in this town following their culture, tradition and values. Srikakulam has been a headquarters for revenue collection under Nizam state of Hyderabad since 1707. Nizams of Hyderabad assigned Gulshanabad (Srikakulam), Rajahmundry, Eluru and Mustafanagar (Kondapalli) districts to French India in 1753. French imperialists were driven out from these districts by British imperialists in 1756 during Anglo-French wars.
In 1759 the Fauzdhari ruling was ended and British ruling started, and Srikakulam town has been made part of Ganjam district and Palakonda and Rajam areas were included in Vizag district in the undivided Madras province. In 1936 the combined Madras-Odisha state was divided to Madras and Odisha and Parlakimidi Taluk was separated from combined Madras state. Srikakulam was renamed as Srikaklam taluk, Srikakulam town as Srikakulam municipality since 1857 under British rule. In 1947 after Indian independence, many including Potti Sriramulu fought for separate Andhra State. In 1948 many demanded for Srikakulam district as it was in combined vizag district. First 'chintada' village was proposed as district headquarters by some central leaders. On 17 July 1950, a representation was given by Challa Narasimhu naidu, an eminent leader, Pullela Vemkataramanayya (P.V. Ramanayya), who was an eminent advocate, public prosecutor, and freedom fighter, to the then revenue minister H. Sitaramareddy on his visit to this area and requested to select Srikakulam as district headquarters at his camp office in Vizianagaram. Sitaramareddy personally saw some places in Srikakulam for selection.

Nautel Founder Dennis Covill Honored with Order of Canada Award
Hackett's Cove, NS - Jan 3, 2013 - Nautel founder Dennis Covill was recognized as a Member of the Order of Canada. The Order of Canada, one of the country's highest civilian honors, was established in 1967 (during Canada's centennial year) to "recognize a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to community and service to the nation." Over the last 45 years, around 5,000 people from all sectors of Canadian society have been invested into the Order. Covill was recognized for his contribution to engineering and science.
A pioneer in the transmitter industry, Covill founded Nautel Limited in 1969 to design and build solid-state navigational beacons, using technologies that at the time were revolutionary. Existing transmission technologies in the 1960s were primarily tube-based, requiring large footprints and extensive cooling systems. Designs brought to the market by Covill and his team introduced much smaller footprints, capabilities for redundancy, hot-swapping of modules, and other technologies now considered "basic" to the transmitter industry. Nautel later expanded its business to develop AM and FM transmitters for radio. Covill served as Nautel's president for many years, but felt that his true calling was in the engineering side of the business, designing unique solutions for navigational beacons and broadcast transmission needs.
Covill leveraged a relatively small investment of $35,000 into a company that has become a major player in the RF transmission business. The company recently expanded into the television transmission industry. In addition to the company's worldwide broadcast transmitter sales, Nautel is also involved in the aerospace industry, providing RF generators for plasma-driven space vehicles. Nautel also manufactures transmitters for NOAA's weather radio system, and stays true to its original roots, creating new technologies for navigational beacons that are used around the world for maritime and other industries.
"Dennis Covill is a true pioneer in RF engineering and the transmitter business, and we are deeply honored to be associated with him," said Peter Conlon, Nautel President and CEO. "He set in motion a company that has amazing values, both in terms of quality and in its philosophy of daily operations. Although he has now retired from Nautel, his values live on in our designs and the way we conduct our business. His receipt of the Order of Canada membership is richly deserved."

The dance department faculty brings extensive professional experience in various techniques and styles to teaching dance at UMBC. Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Dance (http://nasd.arts-accredit.org/), the curriculum fosters growth in skills, artistry, and creative inquiry. With a primary focus on modern dance and contemporary methods of work, the curriculum gives students opportunities to develop strong technique, composition and performance. By studying the history of dance and related courses, students also gain an understanding of the origins of dance, cultural traditions of dance and the changing world of contemporary dance. the program focuses on performance and choreography. Students have regular opportunities, both formal and informal, to develop their performance and choreographic skills. Students perform in department concerts at the end of each semester, in dances choreographed by faculty, visiting artists or other dance majors. Students also may have the opportunity to choreograph for department concerts and to create self-designed projects through independent studies courses. Because dance is studied in an atmosphere with many opportunities for connection with the other arts, students also develop their awareness of potential influences and new possibilities in performance. The artist-in-residence program brings well-known contemporary choreographers and/or teachers to the UMBC faculty for a full semester each year. This offers students the opportunity to work intensively with established dance artists and to be exposed to different ideas and methods of choreography. The program further develops students' versatility in different techniques and styles. Past visiting artists have included Tzveta Kassabova, Susan Rethorst, Scott Rink, Gesel Mason, Helanius Wilkens, Adrienne Clancy, Jeanine Durning, Tonya Lockyer, Mark Coniglio and Dawn Stoppiello.
Career and Academic Paths
Some graduates of the dance program dance professionally with major dance companies in New York, the Baltimore/Washington area and beyond, including Pilobolus, Taylor 2, CityDance Ensemble and Dakshina. Others have performed in regional companies and a variety of venues including the Goodspeed Opera House, Jubilee in Las Vegas, and Disney in Tokyo. Graduates who pursued education certification teach in public and private schools. Many graduates teach in community studios or own private studios. Some pursue graduate study in dance or in related fields such as physical therapy or dance therapy.
Academic Advising
Students entering the program are placed in classes appropriate to their level of previous training. Placement is determined through interview and observation of the student. If an instructor feels that a student has been placed in the wrong level, adjustments may be made during the add/drop period.
Major Programs
Students pursuing dance as a major course of study receive a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Dance. The major includes courses that explore important relationships between dance and other disciplines that are involved in the shaping of dance as a performing art. The curriculum is composed of sequences in contemporary modern dance technique, ballet, performance and choreography. Sufficient previous training may enable students to enter the sequence in technique at the intermediate or advanced level, subject to the approval of the chairperson.
The Bachelor of Arts in Dance
The focus of the B.A. in Dance is on performance and choreography. Students take courses in dance technique, dance history, choreography and performance, dance and technology, and may choose electives in dance and related disciplines. All candidates for the B.A. in Dance must complete the degree requirements.
Education Certificate
Dance majors may obtain state certification as a dance specialist through a course of study designed by the dance and education departments. Students can combine a major in dance with study in the field of education. Contact the dance department directly for more information. Students interested in early childhood or elementary education may choose dance as their major field of study as they pursue coursework in education through UMBC's Department of Education.
Regular Classes in Dance Technique
All dance majors are expected to enroll in technique classes every semester. The dance department highly recommends that students pursuing the B.A. in Dance take both ballet and contemporary every semester. Dance majors are required to enroll in a minimum of one technique course in ballet or contemporary each semester.

Summary: Pain is one of medicine´s greatest mysteries. When farmer John Mitson caught his hand in a baler, he cut off his trapped hand and carried it to a neighbor. "Sheer survival and logic" was how he described it. "And strangely, I didn´t feel any pain." How can this be? We´re taught that pain is a warning message to be heeded at all costs, yet it can switch off in the most agonizing circumstances or switch on for no apparent reason. M ...show moreany scientists, philosophers, and laypeople imagine pain to operate like a rigid, simple signaling system, as if a particular injury generates a fixed amount of pain that simply gets transmitted to the brain; yet this mechanistic model is woefully lacking in the face of the surprising facts about what people and animals do and experience when their bodies are damaged.
Patrick Wall looks at these questions and sets his scientific account in a broad context, interweaving it with a wealth of fascinating and sometimes disturbing historical detail, such as famous characters who derived pleasure from pain, the unexpected reactions of injured people, the role of endorphins, and the power of placebo. He covers cures of pain, ranging from drugs and surgery, through relaxation techniques and exercise, to acupuncture, electrical nerve stimulation, and herbalism.
Pain involves our state of mind, our social mores and beliefs, and our personal experiences and expectations. Stepping beyond the famous neurologic gate-control theory for which he is known, Wall shows that pain is a matter of behavior and its manifestation differs among individuals, situations, and cultures. "The way we deal with pain is an expression of individuality."

This post is hard to write. As much as I enjoy writing this blog, and expressing my thoughts and feelings about my little family, I tend to project a voice that highlights the humorous aspects of parenthood. I am more comfortable with sarcasm than sentimentality. I am more wry than tenderhearted. I am more likely to laugh when happy than cry tears of joy.
But this is the post designed to highlight the significance of my son's first birthday. His first birthday. The end of infanthood. The beginning of his toddler years. What do I say? How do I express the joy of having such a little angel in my life? How do I discuss how my intense love for him was tempered with feelings of inadequacy, as his first six months was wrought with a severe case of acid reflux that kept us up nearly every night, burned his little throat until his cries were hoarse, and caused us to spend hours in the doctor's office?
How do I share how it feels when I see him gaze at his sister adoringly, when he gives me a juicy, open-mouthed kiss, or when he pats my shoulder in rhythm with my attempts to burp him after this morning feeding? How can I express the feelings that I get when I stroke and kiss his soft little feet dozens of times each day, squeeze his plump thighs, and caress his little blond ringlets? His goofy grin, his bursts of temper, his cuddly nature . . . all I know is that everyone else is missing out. Everyone who does not have the privilege of being his mother is missing out. I don't know how to explain it. I just know that I was meant to be his mother and he was meant to be my son.
I realize this post is woefully inadequate. I wish that I could bottle up my love and give it to him to be released during those moments when I am not there throughout his life. I wish that I could soak up a lifetime of his reaching hands, the feeling of his face in my neck, the smoothness of his baby skin. I know as he grows up he will grow away, and I celebrate that, as it means that I am doing my job. But for today, he is my baby. He is all that is good in the world. He is a reason to hope.
I love you, my son. Happy first birthday.

Propagandhi Seeks Record Label
By admin • Nov 5th, 2010 • Category: Label, NewsPropagandhi is on the hunt for a record label to release their next album. The band has issued the following statement:
"Don't make us do it ourselves. We've all seen what happens when we're left in charge of things. I know, the industry is in a tailspin and the relevance of the label-band relationship is more in question than it ever has been, but there are still some things a band like us needs to make it work smoothly.
"We've had enthusiastic, but vague inquiries from a few labels and we really appreciate that. But we're not looking for vague. We're not looking for nebulous "what do you guys want?" inquiries. We're looking for a strong, specific, enthusiastic offer that lays out in detail what your organization will do for us in exchange for releasing what will certainly be our wildest record yet.
"Let's do this: pretend we're Brian Burke. Then pretend our next record is Tomas Kaberle. Now pretend you are a middling western conference squad whose top puck-moving defenceman has just suffered a torn MCL while you are 3 points out of a playoff spot with 6 games remaining in the regular season and your fanbase is clamoring for change if you don't make it to at least the conference finals. Pretend Kaberle (our next record) is willing to sign a 4 year contract extension at only 2 million per, meaning that if someone doesn't blow Burke's (our) doors off with a blockbuster offer, he (us), is not going anywhere, and you'll be hitting the links this spring instead of hoisting The Cup, surrounded by naked ladies/men. The choice is yours. Or something like that.
Operators are standing by."

Big 6th Inning For Curve; Miller's Second Win
Fun with the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates on Thursday night…
Altoona Curve 7, Erie SeaWolves 2
A big 6-run 6th inning gave the Curve the win over Erie, despite the SeaWolves out-hitting the Curve 15 – 6.
The Curve got onto the scoreboard first with a run in the bottom of the 2nd inning. C Tony Sanchez reached base and got all the way to second on a throwing error by the Erie shortstop. A ground out by DH Kris Watts moved Sanchez to third, and a sacrifice fly by 1B Miles Durham brought Sanchez in to score.
Altoona starter Aaron Thompson gave up a single in both the 1st and 3rd innings, and both times erased the runners with a double play. He hit a batter and allowed two singles in the 2nd, but caught one runner stealing, and got out of the inning without a run scoring. The top of the 4th inning began with a lead-off homer to tie the score. After a fly out, Thompson gave up another solo homer, and Erie had a 2-1 lead.
After three hitless innings, the Curve erupted in the 6th, sending 10 batters to the plate. Holt started the rally with a double into right field. CF Starling Marte beat out a bunt for a single, moving Holt to third. LF Quincy Latimore lifted a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring Holt, and when the Erie center fielder's throw back in went wild for an error, Marte moved to second base. That put Marte in position to score on SS Jordy Mercer's single. 3B Jeremy Farrell and Watts both walked to load the bases, then Durham lined a single into left field, plating both Mercer and Farrell. A double by RF Brad Chalk scored Watts and Durham, and the Curve had a 7-2 lead.
Thompson was relieved after 5 innings, having allowed 2 runs on 9 hits and a walk. Chris Leroux took over and pitched the next two innings. He gave up three singles but did not let a run score, and he was the pitcher of record when the Curve scored their 6, so he earned the win. Michael Dubee began the top of the 8th with three consecutive singles, then got out of the mess with a strikeout and a double play. He retired the side in order in the 9th.
Curve Have An Exciting Morning
The Curve played a (mostly) morning game today; the Marauders and the Power play in the evening.
Altoona Curve 13, Harrisburg Senators 2
The Curve had a great morning today, blasting away at the Senators with 13 runs on 18 hits. All but one of the starting lineup had at least one hit, and that one was not starting pitcher Jeff Locke. Locke singled twice and came around to score, doing his share, and reliever Anthony Claggett also had a hit. CF Starling Marte, SS Jordy Mercer, and 1B Miles Durham each had 3 hits, and two of Mercer's hits were home runs. Mercer contributed 5 RBI, while Durham and RF Jose Hernandez each had 3 RBI.
The game actually began in Harrisburg's favor. Marte doubled in the top of the 1st, then moved to third base on a wild pitch, but got no further. In the bottom of the inning, Locke began by hitting the lead-off man with a pitch, then gave up a single to give Harrisburg runners on the corners. An RBI ground out brought in the first run, then an RBI single added a second run. After another single, Locke finished the inning with a tapper back to the mound.
After that inning, it was all Altoona. Locke shut down the Senators, retiring the next 12 batters in order. He gave up a single and a double in the 6th, but left both runners in scoring position. Locke threw 79 pitches (57 strikes) in earning his second win of the season.
The Curve put their hitting shoes on in the 3rd. Locke and 2B Brock Holt led off with back-to-back singles. That chased the Senators' starter, and brought in former Indy Indian and Curve Jimmy Barthmaier. Barthmaier got Marte to ground into a force out at second, but could not get the double play. Marte stole second base, then Mercer blatsed his first homer, a 3-run shot over the left field wall, to give the Curve a 3-2 lead.
Locke singled again in the 4th inning, though he was left on base. Marte singled to begin the 5th, and was moved to second on LF Quincy Latimore's sacrifice bunt. Mercer singled, and Marte came around from second base to score. Mercer stole second, and he scored on C Eric Fryer's double. Then Fryer scored on Durham's 2-run homer for a 4-run inning, giving the Curve a 7-2 lead. Holt singled and came around to score on Latimore's RBI single in the 6th.
The Curve put up another 4-run inning in the 7th. 3B Jeremy Farrell, the only Curve position player without a hit in the game, was hit by a pitch to begin the inning, and Fryer reached base on a fielding error. Durham doubled, driving in Farrell, then Hernandez's 3-run homer gave the Curve a 12-2 lead. Mercer's second home run, a solo homer, provided the Curve with their final run in the 8th.
Anthony Claggett relieved Locke in the 7th inning. He pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the 7th, then worked around a hit batter and a single in the 8th, to keep the Senators from scoring again. Tim Alderson finished the game for the Curve, with a perfect 9th inning.
Wins All Around For the Minor Affiliates, Including Taillon's First
Bradenton Marauders 6, Charlotte Stone Crabs 2
Three 2-run innings gave the Marauders enough fire power to get past the Stone Crabs and salvage the last game of this 3-game series. Starter Kyle McPherson earned his second win of the season, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits, no walks, in 7 innings of work. The 7 innings matched his two previous longest starts this season. Both of the Stone Crabs' runs came early in the game. In the bottom of the 1st, a lead-off triple and an RBI ground out put the first run on the board. A solo home run brought in the second run in the 2nd inning. McPherson also gave up a double in the 1st, and a single in the 5th, and he hit one batter in the 3rd inning. He finished strong by retiring the last 7 batters he faced, four of them on strikeouts.
The Marauders went into the 4th inning behind by a score of 2-0. The only batter to reach base in the first three innings was SS Benji Gonzalez, who singled with two outs in the 3rd, but was picked off second base. But the bats started booming in the 4th, beginning with a double into left field by RF Robbie Grossman and a triple by 2B Jarek Cunningham, scoring Grossman. CF Evan Chambers' ground out single drove in Cunningham to tie the game.
3B Kelson Brown singled and Benji Gonzalez walked in the 5th inning, but a double play ended that attempt at a rally. Cunningham and Chambers opened the 6th with back-to-back singles, and a missed catch error by the Charlotte shortstop on a pick-off attempt let both runners move up a base. A fielding error by the second baseman on the next play off the bat of 1B Aaron Baker allowed both Cunningham and Chambers to score. The Marauders took a 4-2 lead. Baker added 2 more insurance runs in the 8th inning with a 2-run home run shot over the right field wall. He brought in Grossman, who had reached base on a fielding error at third base.
The Stone Crabs did not score again after the 2nd inning. Diego Moreno relieved McPherson to begin the 8th inning, and he walked one, gave up a single, and struck out two, keeping Charlotte scoreless. Ryan Beckman took the 9th, and he also pitched a scoreless inning, with one walk.
Pribanic Earns Win #3, Krol Earns Save #7
The Curve played another mid-day game today, with the stadium full of school kids
Altoona Curve 4, Akron Aeros 3
The Curve hung on for the win, despite being out-hit 12-6 by the Aeros. Aaron Pribanic earned his third win of the season, and Noah Krol earned his 7th Save.
SS Jordy Mercer got things going for the Curve in the bottom of the 2nd inning. He beat out an infield single to third, then stole second base. A grounder by DH Tony Sanchez moved him to third base, and Mercer scored from there on a wild pitch. C Eric Fryer singled and 1B Miles Durham walked after Mercer scored, but both were left on base.
Akron took the lead in the top of the 4th. Pribanic had allowed 3 singles over the first two innings, but left those batters on base. He hit a batter with a pitch to open the 4th inning, then gave up a 2-run homer, giving the Aeros a 2-1 lead.
The Curve went down in order in both the 3rd and 4th innings, but they got to the Akron starter again in the bottom of the 5th. Fryer led off with a walk, and with one out, RF Jose Hernandez drove a triple into center field, scoring Fryer. 2B Brock Holt's RBI ground out brought in Hernandez, and the Curve had the lead back, 3-2. They tacked on another run in the 6th. LF Quincy Latimore began the inning with a line drive into center field for a single, and when the Akron center fielder made a fielding error, Latimore moved to second base. Mercer followed with another line drive into center, putting runners on the corners. Sanchez bounced into a double play, erasing Mercer, but Latimore was able to score from third base for a 4-2 lead.
Pribanic allowed 6 hits with those 2 runs in the 4th, going a total of 5 innings. He did not walk a batter and struck out 3 Aeros' batters. Tim Alderson came on in relief to begin the 6th, and retired the side in order. He gave up an unearned run in the 7th, when Fryer made a fielding error to put a runner on base. A force out at second traded runners at first, and an RBI double brought the run in. Michael Dubee loaded the bases on three singles in the 8th, but wiggled out of the jam with a strikeout and a ground out. Krol earned his save by getting out of another bases-loaded jam in the top of the 9th (two singles and a walk) with a timely double play.
Bowker Goes To Indy; Marauders' Rally With 5 Runs
The Indianapolis Indians and the West Virginia Power both had scheduled days off today.
Roster moves:
OF John Bowker, who was DFA'ed last week, has cleared waivers and has been assigned to the Indianapolis Indians.
LHP Dan Meyer has been activated off the Indians' disabled list.
RHP Chris Leroux was moved to the Altoona Curve to make room for Meyer on the Indians' roster.
Akron Aeros 6, Altoona Curve 3
Chris Leroux was sent down to Altoona, then was charged with the loss in his first game for the Curve. The game began with Akron scoring 3 runs in the top of the 1st. Mike Colla, making his second start of the season, gave up a walk, a single, and a walk to load the bases. The next batter grounded to third, but a fielding error by 3B Jeremy Farrell let the lead runner score and left the bases still loaded. A single and a sacrifice fly each added another run, for a 3-0 lead.
The Curve got one run back in the 3rd inning. DH Kris Watts led off with a double, and 1B Miles Durham's single put Watts on third base. Two pop-outs later, Durham stole second base, then RF Eric Fryer walked to load the bases. Just like the Aeros in the 1st inning, a grounder to third and an error by the third baseman let a run score. But that was all the Curve could get, as they left the bases loaded. The Curve loaded the bases again in the 4th inning, with back-to-back singles by 3B Shelby Ford (who took over for Farrell) and C Tony Sanchez, a balk, and a walk to Watts. Durham's sacrifice fly drove in Ford, before a double play ended that inning. Fryer tied the score at 3-3 in the 5th with a solo home run.
Colla pitched 4 more innings after the 1st, and allowed just one batter to reach base — a single in the 4th. Then Sanchez threw that runner out trying to steal second base. Matt McSwain pitched a 1-2-3 inning for the Curve in the 6th. Leroux took the mound to begin the 7th. The first batter he faced smacked a solo home run. The next batter reached base on a missed catch error by Durham at first, and a double put two runners into scoring position. A fielder's choice play was not fast enough, so let the runner from third score, and a sacrifice fly brought in the third run of the inning, for a 6-3 score. Only one of the runs was earned.
Anthony Claggett relieved Leroux to begin the 8th. He gave up a walk, and that runner reached second base on a balk, and third base on a passed ball, but Claggett did not let him score. Then he worked around a walk and a single in the 9th.
SS Jordy Mercer and Ford both singled in the 5th inning after Fryer's homer, but both were left stranded. Only one Curve batter reached base after the 5th. Watts singled to lead off the 6th, but was erased in a double play.
