President Obama's Action Plan on Climate Change and Its Relevance for Saudi A...Patton Boggs LLP
This document summarizes President Obama's 21-page Action Plan on climate change, which aims to cut US greenhouse gases by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020. It also discusses opportunities for business and industry from the international component of the plan, including financing for carbon abatement projects and income from carbon offsetting. PattonBoggs will be delivering workshops on revenue streams, carbon offsetting, and technologies and innovation to help businesses and governments in the region take advantage of these opportunities.
The document summarizes the results of a SHRM poll on the ongoing impact of the recession on state and local governments. Some key findings include:
- 30% of state and local governments had not laid off any staff since 2007, while 37% laid off 1-5% of staff and 18% laid off 6-10% of staff.
- 75% of state and local governments were hiring in 2011, up from 60% in 2010, primarily to replace jobs lost rather than create new positions.
- The most difficult jobs to fill for state and local governments were high-skilled technical, medical, engineering, scientific, and manager/executive positions.

Federalism is a system of government where power is shared between national and state governments. The US Constitution divides powers between the federal and state governments. Over time, the division of power has shifted from a "dual federalism" model, where each level remained supreme in its own sphere, to a "cooperative federalism" model where powers are shared. The national government provides grants to states and local governments to fund programs, though these grants come with requirements, or "strings attached." Both advantages and disadvantages exist to having multiple levels of government in a federal system.

The document is a letter from Lampert, O'Connor & Johnston, P.C. to the FCC regarding Google's meeting with FCC staff to discuss proposed reforms to intercarrier compensation and universal service programs. The letter summarizes that during the meeting, Google reiterated its support for the FCC's focus on promoting IP broadband networks and ensuring support for their deployment. Google argued that ICC and universal service reforms should encourage efficient IP infrastructure and not be based around legacy TDM voice networks, as IP networks are more efficient and driving deployment of new services that benefit consumers.
UC Davis Active Directory Unified Communications Design WhitepaperAdam Getchell
This document proposes a unified Active Directory and Unified Communications system for UC Davis to replace aging infrastructure and reduce costs. It would consolidate duplicate services across the campus into a single, integrated system providing directory services, identity management, email, calendaring, VoIP, and more. Implementing this solution based on principles of flexibility, interoperability, and security could eliminate costs of running separate systems in individual units and provide improved collaboration tools for students, faculty and staff.
The document discusses how new technologies can be used to engage students with Shakespeare's works through a performance-based and remix approach, allowing students to create their own digital adaptations of Shakespeare's plays using tools like text, audio, video and more. It outlines trends in DIY media, participatory culture and remix that support this hands-on approach to learning about Shakespeare in the 21st century.

The document discusses educational technology and new literacies. It argues that skills needed for students' potential have shifted from reading to a combination of cognitive, social and technical skills tied to society and globalization. It promotes student-centered learning through remixing and participatory culture using everyday technology. Universal Design for Learning aims to make curriculum accessible to all students through multiple means of representation, expression and engagement.
The document discusses strategies for independent learning. It covers areas like gaining information, storing information, and expressing information. It also discusses self-awareness, self-advocacy, learning strategies, and teaching strategies. Specific strategies are provided for areas like word identification, reading comprehension, listening, note-taking, writing, problem solving, and time management. It concludes by explaining how students can use self-instruction, self-monitoring, and self-questioning to independently apply learning strategies.
The document discusses remixing and mashups as a teaching tool and creative activity. It provides examples of remixes in music, video, and other media created by ordinary people. The document argues that remixing allows non-specialists to engage in activities like media production and empowers creative expression. It also discusses how remixing can be used in teaching to engage students in representing and transforming ideas from different sources.
The document provides an overview of remixing and manipulating audio to tell historical stories. It discusses importing and recording audio, editing tracks, adding sound effects and music. Examples are provided of remixing a 1850 letter about the California gold rush by dividing it among multiple narrators and adding context. Directions are given for using audio editing programs like Audacity and Garageband to remix primary sources into podcasts or audio documentaries.
