    <p>How much is Facebook worth to you? If you are like millions of other folks around the world it is worth a few minutes of your time each day.</p>
    <p>To the Financial giant <a href="http://www2.goldmansachs.com/our-firm/investors/index.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Goldman Sachs</a> it is worth a little more… <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12106652" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">in fact about $50 billion more </a>(yes, that is Billion with a B).</p>
    <p>At that price, Facebook would be worth more than Ebay and TimeWarner.</p>
    <p>Sachs recently invested a hefty sum of money in the Internet giant raising speculation that Facebook might be preparing to go “Public”. Currently Facebook is a private company headed by founder and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12001136" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Time magazine 2010 Man of the yea</a>r Mark Zuckerberg.</p>
    <p>If the owners of Facebook decide to go public and sell shares of the company, Goldman Sachs and Zuckerberg would be poised to add billions to their already sizeable wealth.</p>
    <p>But how could Facebook be worth so much? True, a good portion of web surfers are spending (wasting?)copious hours on the site.</p>
    <p>But how can the owners of the site monetize Facebook without driving away visitors?</p>
    <p>If you were Mark Zuckerberg, what would you do?</p>

    <Title>"Ace of Cupcakes" wins National Award</Title>
    <Tagline>Erickson RA Patricia Orrence wins National Of The Month</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">Resident Assistants around UMBC are required to hold events for their residents and communities on a regular basis as part of their jobs. Every now and then, however, one of these programs is so extraordinary it stands well above the rest.<br><br>On November 12th, Erickson RA Patricia Orrence held "Ace of Cupcakes", a program aimed at residents of her floor to help advertise for the annual EBI Benchmarking Survey. This survey is conducted by Residential Life to identify student needs, departmental strengths and weaknesses, and to track changes in those areas over time. However, getting residents to take this survey is notoriously difficult, despite the numerous incentives offered by Residential Life. An RA in her second year, Patricia was aware of this and wanted to ensure that her residents were willing to come to the program. Ask any college student, and the one thing that ensures they will come to an event is free food, and especially free dessert. However, Patricia was conscious of the fact that several of her residents were on restricted diets, including a number of vegetarians and vegans. To incorporate all of these needs, "Ace of Cupcakes" included vegan cupcakes, specially made to avoid using any animal products, and homemade vegan fondant icing, which attendees could use to decorate their own cupcakes. Patricia also provided exotic teas for other refreshment.<br><br>The program was a resounding success amongst staff and students, and was particularly enjoyed by vegan students, who are frequently unable to find desserts that fit within their diets. As a result of the effort Patricia put into incorporating the dietary needs of the Erickson community, this program received several awards, first from the UMBC Chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) and then from the Central Atlantic Affiliate of College &amp; University Residence Halls, as Campus and Regional Social Program of the Month for November.<br><br>Monday night, it was announced that Ace of Cupcakes had been recognized once more as the National Social Program of November by the National Association of College &amp; University Residence Halls, Inc. (NACURH), the largest student-run organization in the world. NACURH and its affiliated service organization, NRHH, include schools from across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Qatar, Australia, and Hong Kong, making this accomplishment truly amazing. National Awards of this sort have rarely been given to UMBC, this being only the tenth in the school's history and the second this year.<br><br>On behalf of the National Residence Hall Honorary and the National Association of College &amp; University Residence Halls, congratulations to Patricia Orrence for an outstanding program.<br><br>To learn more about the "Ace of Cupcakes" program, read the award nomination at <a href="http://otms.nrhh.org/otm_program.php3?otmid=119171&amp;vid=t2aj1mx53ebqzggj" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://otms.nrhh.org/otm_program.php3?otmid=119171&amp;vid=t2aj1mx53ebqzggj</a> .

      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">This research will assess the effects of introducing    music therapy 
          (MT) into physical therapy (PT) sessions. Physical illness due    to 
          genetic and/or environmental factors (such as Down syndrome or car    
          accident injuries, respectively) can be traumatizing. This is especially
           true    with children because they are expected to cope with so much at
           a young age.    Therapy sessions can be intense and draining for 
          patients and can take a toll    on their psychological state. MT, which 
          promotes wellness in individuals by    offering therapeutic benefits to 
          the mind through the use of musical    involvements, can help offset the
           psychological fatigue associated with PT. I    plan on researching the 
          specific types of physical disabilities for the    children at the 
          schools/institutions, so I can better understand the    limitations and 
          hazards of each disability. I also plan on attending    educational 
          workshops based on music, education, and therapy so that I may    work 
          under licensed therapists with both clinical and work experience. I wish
              to create innovative therapy techniques to incorporate music into 
          therapy    sessions by utilizing kinesthetic techniques to respond to 
          sounds, creating    group exercises to heighten social skills, and 
          encouraging patients to    compose and perform songs to help relieve 
          stress and stimulate their minds.    The goal of my research is to 
          examine whether or not the combined use of PT    and MT in therapy 
          sessions is positively correlated with the patient’s mental    and 
          physical well-being.<br><br>To find out more about Megha's research and to view her q&amp;a session, click the URL below! <br>

  <Title>Environmentalists are out to DESTROY YOU!!!</Title>

    <div class="embed-container"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/v/to1naH2A7GU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowFullScreen">[Video]</iframe></div>
    <p>When we recently saw a DVD titled “<a href="http://www.resistingthegreendragon.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Resisting the Green Dragon</a>,” we were thought it had to be a bad 1980’s Kung-Fu movie.</p>
    <p>We were wrong… it was MUCH WORSE than an 80’s Kung-Fu movie…</p>
    <p>This 12-piece DVD set comes from a coalition of religious groups, including <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Right Wing Watch</a>.</p>
    <p>It battles with the newest demon to threaten the world as we know it: ENVIRONMENTALSTS!!!!</p>
    <p>Check out this bit from the press release:</p>
    <blockquote><p>“One of the greatest threats to society and the church today is the multifaceted environmentalist movement,” says Cornwall Alliance founder and national spokesman Dr. E. Calvin Beisner. “There isn’t an aspect of life that it doesn’t seek to force into its own mold.”</p></blockquote>
    <p>Essentially, this series intends to dispel “rumors” of climate change and delegitimize “radical environmentalists”.</p>
    <p>Evidently Right Wing Watch thinks environmentalists intend not to save the planet but to (insert scary music here)<strong> destroy the Bible and Christianity as we know it!!!</strong></p>
    <p>We at US Democrazy are huge supporters of democracy, and enjoy a robust discussion on issues of the day.</p>
    <p>But we also think crazy contributors to this discussion should be challenged vigorously.</p>
    <p>Do you think “Resisting the Green Dragon” is a little on the crazy-side?</p>
