Although the plan is available through the school district's Web site, she explained that the idea was to bring people on board in stages by using the Internet cafes, the Moodle, focus groups, study circles and committees before taking the proposal to the board."The board is willing to come up with new ways of involving stakeholders," said Lori Dunker, who added that she has heard comments that the board did not mandate meetings with the staff. Because so much is asked of teachers already, she said, "we were extending professional courtesy to accommodate the staff."Board members emphasized that one of the board goals — to engage stakeholders — has been posted in area newspapers and presented to staff members. Meetings with staff were held in September, October and November with discussion held at board meetings in February, September, October and November."The JCI plan was put in front of the administrative team for a long time," explained Superintendent Bret Miles.The board also addressed a comment regarding the lack of involvement of many area businesses.

A geek’s trip to Capitol Hill on Network Management
Melvin Ammori, General Counsel, Free Press David Burstein, Editor, DSLPrime George Ou, Editor at Large, ZDNet Haruka Saito, Counselor for Telecom, Embassy of Japan Christopher S. Yoo, Professor of Law and Communications, University of Pennsylvania Christopher Yoo - After a brief introduction by Scott Wallsten who explained that the order of the presentations will be reverse alphabetical order, Christopher S. Yoo kicked off his presentation. Professor Yoo explained that networks, like roads, aren't built for everyone to use them at the same time. Yoo gave the example that if a person wants to know how fast he can travel on a freeway, he wouldn't know until he got there because we can't predict exactly how many other people will be on the road at the same time. Yoo explained the difficulty in projecting network capacity and that we can't always be right when determining whether more capacity or network management was the answer.

Comcast Admits Paying Attendees at FCC Hearing
Comcast Corp. admitted yesterday that it paid people to attend a government hearing. Company critics say the freelance attendees were there to crowd them out; Comcast says they were merely saving seats for employees. The five-hour hearing Monday at Harvard University was organized by the Federal Communications Commission to address the issue of net neutrality, a hot-button topic for those who think there should be minimal restrictions on Internet traffic. The topic has drawn wide interest from college students, media-reform groups, and Internet companies. An official at Free Press, a nonprofit advocacy group that has criticized Comcast for limiting the amount of data some of its customers send over its network, accused the cable company of "stacking the deck" at the hearing with the 30 to 40 "seat-warmers." An official at Harvard said dozens of real participants were left standing outside the auditorium with placards.
AAAS: State of the Art in Nuclear Physics-Experiment
Rounding out my AAAS coverage, we have the rest of an overview of the cutting edge research in the field of nuclear physics. My first article from this seminar focused on the theoretical and computational side; this article will focus on recent work on the experimental side. This portion of the seminar consisted of three experimentalists discussing their work, and one researcher discussing medical applications of nuclear physics. The first talk was given by Dr. Elizabeth Beise, a professor of physics at the University of Maryland. She examined parity violation in electron scattering experiments. She started by highlighting how experiments can link various theories that work at very disparate length scales. While the new hotness in particle and experimental high energy physics is the Large Hadron Collider, which will slam protons into one another, she discussed using electrons as a simpler probe.
