Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. CNS-0753686), NIC is currently in the fi rst stage of what is planned as a multi-phase project that aims to improve the image of computer science among high school students (with a special focus on gender and ethnic disparities) and encourage greater participation in computer science at the postsecondary level. Working with experienced marketing professionals, the NIC initiative seeks to: 1 understand the attitudes held by high school students toward the study of computing in college and potential computing careers; 2 create a set of market-tested messages that resonate with young people, accurately and positively represent the fi eld, and reshape the way computer science is portrayed to and perceived by young people; 3 conduct a pilot campaign using the tested messages. This pilot will assess strategies for how the messages can be used in a variety of ways to reach young people in their communities; 4 build a coalition of partners (computing organizations, universities, high school educators, and others) to adopt the messages and spread the word about the rewards and benefi ts of a career in computer science in honest, positive, and unifi ed ways; and 5 evaluate the results.

Jim is also a founding member of the Saratoga County History Roundtable and can be reached at [email protected] Historical Marker on Middleline Road, Town of Ballston Life as they knew it changed overnight. For years there had been fear, causing hardships day-by- day, but after this event their lives would never be the same. Much like our response to Pearl Harbor or September 11, October 16, 1780 was a day the people along Middleline Road in the Town of Ballston would never forget. The families along the road dividing the five-mile square in the Kayaderoseras patent had only recently arrived, most moving northwest less that 200 miles from their family homes in Connecticut. They were immediately met with the disruption of war. As Yankees, many of the them responded by supporting the patriot cause. Most of the men joined the 12th Regiment of the Albany County Militia. Their Lt. Colonel, James Gordon and their Captain, Tyrannius Collins lived among them. The pioneers settled north of their leaders along Middeline Road, clearing land, building their first cabins, barns and fences. The Revolution often took the men away from their families and farms. As militiamen, they were called to serve in the early years running down Loyalists, some of them former neighbors like William Fraser who had purchased 200 acres in Ballston in 1772.

  • The Internet Is a Semicommons
    GRIMMELMANN_10_04_29_APPROVED_PAGINATED 4/29/2010 11:26 PM THE INTERNET IS A SEMICOMMONS James Grimmelmann* I. INTRODUCTION As my contribution to this Symposium on David Post’s In Search of Jefferson’s Moose1 and Jonathan Zittrain’s The Future of the Internet,2 I’d like to take up a question with which both books are obsessed: what makes the Internet work? Post’s answer is that the Internet is uniquely Jeffersonian; it embodies a civic ideal of bottom-up democracy3 and an intellectual ideal of generous curiosity.4 Zittrain’s answer is that the Internet is uniquely generative; it enables its users to experiment with new uses and then share their innovations with each other.5 Both books tell a story about how the combination of individual freedom and a cooperative ethos have driven the Internet’s astonishing growth. In that spirit, I’d like to suggest a third reason that the Internet works: it gets the property boundaries right. Specifically, I see the Internet as a particularly striking example of what property theorist Henry Smith has named a semicommons.6 It mixes private property in individual computers and network links with a commons in the communications that flow * Associate Professor, New York Law School. My thanks for their comments to Jack Balkin, Shyam Balganesh, Aislinn Black, Anne Chen, Matt Haughey, Amy Kapczynski, David Krinsky, Jonathon Penney, Chris Riley, Henry Smith, Jessamyn West, and Steven Wu. I presented earlier versions of this essay at the Commons Theory Workshop for Young Scholars (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Collective Goods), the 2007 IP Scholars conference, the 2007 Telecommunications Policy Research Conference, and the December 2009 Symposium at Fordham Law School on David Post’s and Jonathan Zittrain’s books.

  • Onwie Summit Receives Advice, Inspiration from Maria Klawe Bold Dreams and First Steps
    ONWiE Summit receives advice, inspiration from Maria Klawe Bold dreams and first steps. That’s what Maria Klawe – one of North America’s leading advocates for increasing the participation of women in the STEM fields – brought to the 2019 Ontario Network of Women in Engineering (ONWiE) summit in Hamilton. Offering a combination of energetic inspiration and practical advice, Klawe kicked off a two-day conference that brought together nearly 100 women from across the province and beyond. A leading computer scientist, Klawe has served as president of California’s Harvey Mudd College since 2006, and helped the school reach gender parity among students in its computer science, engineering and physics departments. Fifty per cent of the school’s computer science faculty are also female, and Klawe said the college is turning its attention to improving opportunities for other underrepresented groups. Those achievements were the result of a number of small, replicable steps, she noted, using her keynote speech and workshop session to press the message that everyone can be a catalyst for change. “I think the most important thing to understand about change that it often starts with something small,” she said. “The thing everyone can do is talk about why it is absolutely essential to have more women in tech.” Changes at Harvey Mudd included remodelling the introductory computer science course, placing students together in sections based on previous coding experience, providing summer research opportunities for females, and taking groups of students to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference. Bringing together women from academia and industry, the ONWiE summit focused on ways to attract more females to study and work in engineering and technology fields.

The former is a manorial regime in which the lord’s incomes were primarily derived from the commercial exploitation of his demesnes lands, using the compulsory labour services of servile tenants. The latter is a manorial regime in which the lord’s incomes were instead primarily derived from cash rents paid by largely free peasants.
