DESCRIPTORS Cooperation; *Educational Development; *Educational Improvement; *Educational Quality; Elementary Secondary Education; *Grants; Program Descriptions; *Public Schools; School Business Relationship; *Student Financial Aid IDENTIFIERS *Boston Public Schools MA ABSTRACT The Boston Plan for Excellence in the Public Schools is a partnership among teachers, students, parents, administrators, and business leaders with the common purpose of restoring the Boston Public School System to its former position as a national leader in education. This publication examines the programs and activities, school by school, that were funded by The Boston Plan for Excellence during academic year 1992-1993. The programs provide students with academic, financial, and personal support. Several specific programs are highlighted. In kindergarten through third grade, the Support for Early Educational Development (SEED) Program, created in 1987, is designed to foster excitement about learning and the value of education. During the middle school years, the Hancock Endowment for Academics, Recreation, and Teaching (HEART) program provides grants for academics and innovative projects which enhance the academic curriculum, provide student leadership opportunities, and encourage staff development and parent involvement. Project Action enables high school students to become grantmakers in their own communities. Finally, the Access Program helps high school seniors find the money to pay for college as well as last minute scholarship financing that attempts to make up the difference between the actual cost of college and what a student has been able to raise from other sources of financial aid.

  • Users As Co-Designers of Software-Based Media: the Co-Construction of Internet Relay Chat
    Users as Co-Designers of Software-Based Media: The Co-Construction of Internet Relay Chat Guillaume Latzko-Toth Université Laval AbsTrAcT While it has become commonplace to present users as co-creators or “produsers” of digital media, their participation is generally considered in terms of content production. The case of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) shows that users can be fully involved in the design process, a co-construction in the sense of Science and Technology Studies (STS): a collective, simultaneous, and mutual construction of actors and artifacts. A case study of the early de - velopment of two IRC networks sheds light on that process and shows that “ordinary users” managed to invite themselves as co-designers of the socio-technical device. The article con - cludes by suggesting that IRC openness to user agency is not an intrinsic property of software- based media and has more to do with its architecture and governance structure. Keywords Digital media; Communication technology; Co-construction; Design process; Ordinary user résumé Il est devenu banal de présenter l’usager comme cocréateur ou « produtilisateur » des médias numériques, mais sa participation est généralement envisagée comme une production de contenus. Le cas d’IRC (Internet Relay Chat) montre que les usagers des médias à support logiciel peuvent s’engager pleinement dans le processus de conception, une co-construction au sens des Science and Technology Studies : une construction collective, simultanée et mutuelle des acteurs et des artefacts. Une étude de cas portant sur le développement de deux réseaux IRC éclaire ce processus et montre que les « usagers ordinaires » sont parvenus à s’inviter comme co-concepteurs du dispositif.

  • Hardware Mechanisms for Distributed Dynamic Software Analysis
    Hardware Mechanisms for Distributed Dynamic Software Analysis by Joseph Lee Greathouse A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Science and Engineering) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Todd M. Austin, Chair Professor Scott Mahlke Associate Professor Robert Dick Associate Professor Jason Nelson Flinn c Joseph Lee Greathouse All Rights Reserved 2012 To my parents, Gail and Russell Greathouse. Without their support throughout my life, I would never have made it this far. ii Acknowledgments First and foremost, I must thank my advisor, Professor Todd Austin, for his help and guid- ance throughout my graduate career. I started graduate school with the broad desire to “research computer architecture,” but under Professor Austin’s watch, I have been able to hone this into work that interests us both and has real applications. His spot-on advice about choosing topics, performing research, writing papers, and giving talks has been an invaluable introduction to the research world. The members of my committee, Professors Robert Dick, Jason Flinn, and Scott Mahlke, also deserve special gratitude. Their insights, comments, and suggestions have immea- surably improved this dissertation. Together their expertise spans low-level hardware to systems software and beyond. This meant that I needed to ensure that any of my ideas were defensible from all sides. I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with numerous co-authors. I have often published with Professor Valeria Bertacco, who, much like Professor Austin, has given me invaluable advice during my time at Michigan. I am extremely lucky to have had the chance to work closely with Ilya Wagner, David Ramos, and Andrea Pellegrini, all of whom have continued to be good friends even after the high-stress publication process.

  • The Copyright Crusade
    The Copyright Crusade Abstract During the winter and spring of 2001, the author, chief technology officer in Viant's media and entertainment practice, led an extensive inqUiry to assess the potential impact of extant Internet file-sharing capabilities on the business models of copyright owners and holders. During the course of this project he and his associates explored the tensions that exist or may soon exist among peer-to-peer start-ups, "pirates" and "hackers," intellectual property companies, established media channels, and unwitting consumers caught in the middle. This research report gives the context for the battleground that has emerged, and calls upon the players to consider new, productive solutions and business models that support profitable, legal access to intellectual property via digital media. by Andrew C Frank. eTO [email protected] Viant Media and Entertainment Reinhold Bel/tIer [email protected] Aaron Markham [email protected] assisted by Bmre Forest ~ VI ANT 1 Call to Arms Well before the Internet. it was known that PCs connected to two-way public networks posed a problem for copyright holders. The problem first came to light when the Software Publishers Association (now the Software & Information Industry Association), with the backing of Microsoft and others, took on computer Bulletin Board System (BBS) operators in the late 1980s for facilitating trade in copyrighted computer software, making examples of "sysops" (as system operators were then known) by assisting the FBI in orchestrat­ ing raids on their homes. and taking similar legal action against institutional piracy in high profile U.S. businesses and universities.'

  • Secrecy Versus Openness — Internet Security and the Limits of Open
    SECRECY VERSUS OPENNESS Internet security and the limits of open source and peer production Andreas Schmidt Open source and peer production have been praised as organisational models that could change the world for the better. It is commonly asserted that almost any societal activity could benefit from distributed, bottom-up collaboration — by making societal inter- action more open, more social, and more democratic. However, we also need to be mindful of the limits of these models. How could they function in environments hostile to openness? Security is a societal domain more prone to secrecy than any other, except perhaps for romantic love. In light of the destructive capacity of contemporary cyber attacks, how has the Internet survived without a comprehensive security infrastructure? Secrecy versus Openness describes the realities of Internet security production through the lenses of open source and peer production theories. The study offers a glimpse into the fascinating communities of technical experts, who played a pivotal role when the chips were down for the Internet after large-scale attacks. After an initial flirtation with openness in the early years, operational Internet security communities have put in place a form of social production that resembles the open source model in many aspects, but is substantially less open.
