What in the world is going on at Berkeley


blacks
The proposal would trade labs seen as benefiting white students for resources to help struggling minority students.

Berkeley High School is considering a controversial proposal to eliminate science labs and the five science teachers who teach them to free up more resources to help struggling students.

The proposal to put the science-lab cuts on the table was approved recently by Berkeley High’s School Governance Council, a body of teachers, parents, and students who oversee a plan to change the structure of the high school to address Berkeley’s dismal racial achievement gap, where white students are doing far better than the state average while black and Latino students are doing worse.

Paul Gibson, an alternate parent representative on the School Governance Council, said that information presented at council meetings suggests that the science labs were largely classes for white students. He said the decision to consider cutting the labs in order to redirect resources to underperforming students was virtually unanimous.

Science teachers were understandably horrified by the proposal. “The majority of the science department believes that this major policy decision affecting the entire student body, the faculty, and the community has been made without any notification, without a hearing,” said Mardi Sicular-Mertens, the senior member of Berkeley High School’s science department, at last week’s school board meeting.

Sincular-Mertens, who has taught science at BHS for 24 years, said the possible cuts will impact her black students as well. She says there are twelve African-American males in her AP classes and that her four environmental science classes are 17.5 percent African American and 13.9 percent Latino. “As teachers, we are greatly saddened at the thought of losing the opportunity to help all of our students master the skills they need to find satisfaction and success in their education,” she told the board.

The full plan to close the racial achievement gap by altering the structure of the high school is known as the High School Redesign. It will come before the Berkeley School Board as an information item at its January 13 meeting. Generally, such agenda items are passed without debate, but if the school board chooses to play a more direct role in the High School Redesign, it could bring the item back as an action item at a future meeting.

School district spokesman Mark Coplan directed inquiries about the redesign to Richard Ng, the principal’s assistant at Berkeley High and member of the School Governance Council. Ng did not return repeated calls for comment.

2012 vs rollingstone

Classé dans : Entertainment — Tags :, , , — bruceyoung1958 @ 20:36

Beware 2012, which works the dubious miracle of almost matching Transformers 2 for sheer, cynical, mind-numbing, time-wasting, money-draining, soul-sucking stupidity. We probably are nearing the end of the movie world when it's easy to predict that the biggest turd in the bowl will rise to the top of the box office. Equally depressing is the pass some critics are giving to this 158 minute (you heard me!) slog through every end-of-days cliché in the Hollywood playbook. The fresh angle is the Mayan calendar that allegedly predicts that we will all bite the bullet on Dec. 21st, 2012. The Mayans should sue.

Where to start apportioning blame? How about director Roland Emmerich, who threatened the world with aliens in Independence Day, global warming in The Day After Tomorrow and now solar fire from the earth's core in 2012. Maybe bad movies will lead to global annihilation next time. We deserve it. The human side of the plot concerns Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), a struggling sci-fi novelist and divorced dad whose wife (Amanda Peet) left him because — yes, daytime drama fans — he loves his work more than her. The only thing that fascinated me about Cusack's character — who moonlights as a chauffeur — is the skinny black tie he wears constantly even while surviving natural disasters in California, Vegas, Yellowstone, D.C., the Vatican, India, Tibet and a big space thingie meant to be a New Age Noah's Ark. Did I mention that Danny Glover plays the President and that he makes dire speeches without prodding from his evil chief of staff (Oliver Platt), who wants only to save only the elite while billions perish?

Look, I can't mention any more because it reminds me of how bored I was during the movie. In the interest of fairness, I will say that the FX is killer as Cusack and kids make their zigzag escape in a car as Santa Monica crumbles underneath them, and that Woody Harrelson has a high old time of it as a crazed radio DJ whose eyes pop from the conspiracy theories exploding inside his head. But that's it. The rest is the absence of silence. Just the noise and cheeseball pyrotechnics that Hollywood regularly substitutes for intelligence and wit. Welcome to 2009.

Copyright Treaty Is Policy Laundering at Its Finest

The blogosphere is abuzz over an apparently leaked document showing the United States trying to push its controversial DMCA-style notice-and-takedown process on the world. But since Threat Level already lives in the land of the DMCA, or Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we’re more bothered by the fact that the U.S. proposal goes far beyond that 1998 law, and would require Congress to alter the DMCA in a manner even more hostile to consumers.

At issue is the internet section of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement being developed under a cloak of secrecy by dozens of countries. The leaked document is a three-page European Commission memo written by an unnamed EU official, which purports to summarizes a private briefing given in September by U.S. trade officials.

The language in the Sept. 30 memo shows the United States wants ISPs around the world to punish suspected, repeat downloaders with a system of “graduated response” — code for a three-strikes policy that results in the customer eventually being disconnected from the internet with the ISP alone deciding what constitutes infringement and fair use.

<!–
digg_url = 'http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/11/policy-laundering/';
// –>

While the proposal specifically says that three strikes wouldn’t be mandated, it might as well be. That’s because companies that refused to implement the policy would be ejected from the immunity or “safe harbor” that otherwise protects them from copyright infringement lawsuits over the actions of their customers.

Currently, the DMCA grants safe harbor status to internet companies that promptly remove allegedly infringing content at the request of the copyright holder. Only if they fail to do so can they be held liable in court, and face up to $150,000 in damages per infringement.

Under the U.S. proposal described in the memo, removing infringing content would no longer be enough to qualify for safe harbor. Companies would have to actively work to combat the flow of unauthorized copyrighted material through their pipes, and specifically implement the “graduated response” program.

Here is the key paragraph:

“On the limitations from 3rd party liability: to benefit from safe-harbours, ISPs need to put in place policies to deter unauthorized storage and transmission of IP infringing content (ex: clauses in customers’ contracts allowing, inter alia, a graduated response). From what we understood, the US will not propose that authorities need to create such systems. Instead, they require some self-regulation by ISPs.”

Threat Level obtained the document on condition it not be posted, and we haven’t independently verified its authenticity, or that it accurately reflects the positions of the U.S. trade representatives. The document indicates the U.S. refused to turn over anything in writing itself, and briefed E.U. representatives on the plan orally in the hope of avoiding leaks.

The Obama administration has been obsessively secretive about the draft ACTA treaty — even, at one point, claiming national security could be jeopardized if the proposed treaty’s working documents were disclosed to the public. Now, it seems, we know what the administration is hiding.

Obama hasn’t asked Congress to implement a three-strike policy, which could anger consumers and watchdog groups. But if the administration gets three strikes written into ACTA, and the United States signs and ratifies the treaty, Congress would be obliged to change the DMCA to comply with it, while the administration throws its hands in the air and says, “It wasn’t our idea! It’s that damn treaty!”

That practice is common enough to have a name: policy laundering.

Language in the leaked text throws open the door to ISP filtering for unauthorized content, though there’s no way for filters to know whether the material constitutes fair use. That plan is similar to a proposal by the Motion Picture Association of America, which wants ISPs to filter for unauthorized motion pictures.

The three-strikes language would be gold to companies like MediaSentry, which browse peer-to-peer networks for infringing content, and identify a user’s IP address and ISP. MediaSentry’s work was crucial in the RIAA’s 6-year-long litigation campaign that amounted to about 30,000 copyright lawsuits against individual file sharers using Kazaa, Limewire and other services.

Until today, the most alarming thing in the proposed ACTA treaty has been the secrecy surrounding it. But now the threat level is higher. It seems the executive branch would rather negotiate with other nations, instead of its own elected officials, about the future of a free and open internet.

La blogosphère est en effervescence sur un document montrant apparemment fui les États-Unis tentent de pousser son controversé DMCA avis de style et de processus de takedown sur le monde. Mais depuis Threat Level vit déjà dans le pays de la DMCA, ou Digital Millennium Copyright Act, nous sommes plus gênés par le fait que la proposition des États-Unis va bien au-delà de cette loi de 1998, et nécessiterait le Congrès pour modifier la DMCA d'une manière même plus hostile pour les consommateurs. L'enjeu est la section Internet de l'Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement développé sous le sceau du secret par des dizaines de pays. La fuite d'un document est un de trois pages de la Commission européenne note rédigée par un fonctionnaire anonyme de l'UE, qui prétend résume un exposé privée donnée en Septembre par des responsables américains du commerce. La langue dans la note de service le 30 septembre montre que les États-Unis veulent que les FAI à travers le monde pour punir les suspects, downloaders répéter avec un système de "riposte graduée" - code pour la politique de la grève de trois qui se traduit par le client d'être finalement déconnecté d'Internet avec l'ISP seul de décider ce qui constitue une infraction et l'usage loyal. <! —

/ / -> Alors que la proposition est dit expressément que trois grèves ne seraient pas prescrites, cela aurait tout aussi bien. C'est parce que les entreprises qui ont refusé d'appliquer la politique serait éjectée de l'immunité ou la "sphère de sécurité» qui protège contre les poursuites autrement les droits d'auteur d'infraction dans les actions de leurs clients. Actuellement, les subventions DMCA statut de "sphère de sécurité pour Internet d'entreprises qui éliminent rapidement incriminées des contenus à la demande du titulaire du droit d'auteur. Seulement si elles ne le font pas peuvent-ils être tenus responsables en justice, et faire face à 150.000 $ en dommages et intérêts par infraction. En vertu de la proposition américaine décrit dans le mémo, élimination de la teneur de contrefaçon ne serait plus suffisante pour bénéficier d'une "sphère de sécurité. Les entreprises auraient à travailler activement pour lutter contre le flux de matériel non autorisé sous copyright par leurs tuyaux, et en particulier mettre en œuvre la "riposte graduée" du programme. Voici le paragraphe clé: "Sur les limites du 3e responsabilité civile: pour bénéficier de« refuge », les FAI doivent mettre en place des politiques visant à dissuader le stockage et la diffusion illicites de contrefaçon de la propriété intellectuelle du contenu (ex: les clauses dans les contrats clients» permettant, entre entre autres, une réponse progressive). D'après ce que nous avons compris, les USA ne proposera que les autorités doivent créer de tels systèmes. Au lieu de cela, ils nécessitent une certaine auto-régulation par les FSI. "Threat Level obtenu le document à la condition qu'il ne pas être affiché, et nous n'avons pas vérifiées de manière indépendante l'authenticité, ou qu'il reflète fidèlement les positions des représentants commerciaux des États-Unis. Le document indique que les États-Unis ont refusé de remettre quelque chose dans l'écriture elle-même, et a informé l'UE représentants sur le plan oralement dans l'espoir d'éviter les fuites. L'administration Obama a été obsessivement secret sur le projet de traité ACTA - même, à un moment donné, en faisant valoir la sécurité nationale pourrait être compromise si des documents de travail du projet de traité ont été divulgués au public. Maintenant, il semble, nous savons ce que l'administration se cache. Obama n'a pas demandé au Congrès pour mettre en œuvre une politique à trois grève, qui pourrait la colère des consommateurs et des groupes de surveillance. Mais si l'administration reçoit trois grèves inscrit dans l'ACTA, et les États-Unis le signent et ratifient le traité, le Congrès serait obligé de changer le DMCA pour s'y conformer, tandis que l'administration lève ses mains en l'air et dit: "Il n 'était pas t notre idée! C'est ce traité damn! "Cette pratique est assez commun d'avoir un nom: le blanchiment des politiques. Langue dans le texte fuite ouvre grand la porte à l'ISP de filtrage des contenus non autorisés, mais il n'existe aucun moyen pour les filtres de savoir si le matériel qui constitue une utilisation équitable. Ce plan est similaire à une proposition de la Motion Picture Association of America, qui veut que les FAI à filtrer pour les films non autorisés. Les trois grèves de la langue serait l'or à des sociétés comme MediaSentry, qui broutent peer-to-peer pour avoir enfreint le contenu et identifier un utilisateur, l'adresse IP et ISP. MediaSentry travail a été crucial dans la 6, la RIAA ans de campagne à long contentieux qui s'élevait à environ 30.000 poursuites en justice contre les partageurs de fichiers individuels en utilisant Kazaa, Limewire et autres services. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui, la chose la plus alarmante dans le projet de traité ACTA a été le secret qui l'entoure. Mais maintenant le niveau de menace est plus élevé. Il semble que le pouvoir exécutif serait plutôt de négocier avec d'autres nations, au lieu de ses propres fonctionnaires élus, sur l'avenir d'un Internet libre et ouvert.
