"start from scratch" (Dec 11 2003 19:26 GMT) - Schwarzenegger's Education Secretary, Richard Riordan wants to completely redo California's student funding formula. This is a good thing. Under the approach Riordan has in mind, students would trigger uniform "weighted" dollar allotments for their schools, based on their learning needs, rather than the random and inequitable amounts they now generate for their districts. Such a shift would mark the first time in three decades that California has fundamentally addressed one of the most convoluted, political and deeply entrenched aspects of state spending -- and the biggest, at $41 billion a year. "We need to start from scratch and do a... |

The FCC's Sneak Attack on VOIP... and the Real Issue (Dec 11 2003 19:25 GMT) - Jeff Pulver has a good piece on CNet about the FCC's actions on voice over IP. I think it's appropriate for the FCC to consider the issues that VOIP raises, especially with state regulators already jumping in and imposing unnecessary regulation. But I agree with Jeff that they shouldn't do so by sneak attack. |

Social Networks as Art (Dec 11 2003 19:25 GMT) - Of Friendsters and Foes is a Village Voice article about the Whitney Museum's display of the social-network-related art of the late Mark Lombardi, who drew pencil diagrams of the tangled relationships among people involved in the BCCI scandal (including the Bush family and Saddam Hussein). Lombardi killed himself in 2000. The Voice article was prompted by the revelation that the FBI requested access to the materials (and was told that the material was on public exhibit during normal museum hours). The author speculates that perhaps nothing as elaborate as Poindexter's Total Information Awareness boondoggle is necessary when people voluntarily expose their social networks via Friendster and other social networking services.
