Federal Court (Grouped Proceedings) Bill 1990 (Private Senator's Bill)
Date Introduced: 9 May 1990 House: Senate Presented by: Senator Michael Macklin
Purpose To
Background A 'class actions' is defined generally as an action that allows a single applicant to bring proceedings on behalf of a group or class of people with similar claims against the same defendant. Class actions can include claims for damages and proceedings can be commenced without the need to identify each member of the class and wi thout the consent of each member. Class members can opt out of proceedings if they do not wish to be bound by a courts decision. This form of class action is available in the United States and the Canadian province of Quebec. The Austral1c"tll variant of !11e class action, the representative action, allows a single applicant to start proceedings on behalf of numerous persons who have the same interest in the proceedings. However, in most Australian jurisdictions, a representative action is limited to cases where an injunction or declaration is sought, cannot be used to claim damages, and group members have no right to opt out of proceedings once they have commenced.
A number of arguments have been put by advocates of class actions to support the use of the procedure, including that it reduces the cost of litigation by spreading tl'le cost of litigation among all members of the class represented and makes litigauon practicable even though the recovery of damages by any individual member of the class may be small. Advocates also argue that the class action procedure helps deter improper business practices without requiring new government regulation , more bureaucracy, or a large increase in public spending.
Critics of class actions argue that the availability of an American style class action in Australia would lead to a huge increase in litigation and that the costs of defending against these actions and of paying settlements will have to be passed on to consumers. Opponents also argue that unwieldy class actions will unduly burden the courts at a time when court resources are unequal to the demands placed on them. In addition , opponents argue that an increased court load can lead to divergent results in similar circumstances, creating at least the appearance of iniustice.
In February 1987, the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) was requested to report on the adequacy of federal and Territory law relating to class actions. In October 1988, in its report, titled Grouped Proceedings In The Federal Court (No. 46), the ALRC identified a number of deficiencies in the present system, including that there is no effective federal procedure by which claims for damages arising from a multiple wrongdoing can be grouped so that common issues can be dealt with at the same time and no federal
procedure enabling proceedings to be brought for damages on behalf of a group or class of people.
The ALRC recommended the establishment of a procedural scheme for the grouping of certain related claims in the Federal Court The Bill is a direct reproduction of the draft Bill recommended by the ALRC.
Main Provisions 'Excluded Act' is defined in clause 5 to include the Family Law Act 1975, the Marriage Act 1961 , the Norfolk Island Act 1979, the Northern Territory (Self- Government) Act 1978, and any of the applied provisions (i. e. laws of the States that have effect in Commonwealth places) of the Commonwealth Places (Applica tion of
Laws) Act 1970.
'Federal matter' is defined in clause 5 as a matter arising under a law of the Commonwealth (other than an excluded Act), in which relief is sought against the Commonwealth, or of a kind mentioned in paragraph 75 (v) of tt1e Constitution (i.e. in which a writ of mandamus, prohibition, or injunction is sought against a Commonwealth officer).
'Territory matter is defined in clause 5 as any matter within the jurisdiction of a Territory court, other than a court of the Northern Territory or Norfolk Island.
The Bill will not affect the right of a person to start and maintain a proceeding and the Federal Court's (the Court) powers to deal with applicants who start proceedings which have no merit, are frivolous, vexatious or an abuse of process (clause 6).
A person (the principal applicant) who starts a proceeding in the Court against a defendant may also, in the same application, start other proceedings (group members proceedings) against the same defendant. Each group members proceeding is to be within the jurisdiction of the Court and be a separate proceeding (clause 7). Although the word 'person ' is not defined in the Bill, by section 22(a) of the Acts Interpretation Act
1901, 'person' is defined to include a body politic, corporation, and an individual.
The consent of a group member to commence a group members proceeding unless the group member is the Commonwealth or a State; a Commonwealtn, State, or Territory Minister; a Commonwealth, State, or Territory statutory corporation; or a Commonwealth, State, or Territory officer (clause 8).
A group members proceeding will not have to be for the same relief as that being sought in the principal proceeding, or in another group members proceedings (clause 9).
If the Court finds that there are less than 7 group members proceedings, it may either allow the proceedings to continue or separate the proceedings and direct that they be continued as individual proceedings (clause 10).
Clause 11 provides that a principal proceeding is to be in respect of a federal or Territory matter and extends the jurisdiction of the Federal Court to deal with such proceedings and matters. The jurisdiction of the Court to deal with group members proceedings will also be extended in relation to all matters mentioned in section 75 and 76 of the Constitution (e.g. a matter in which the Commonwealth, or a person suing or being sued on behalf of the Commonwealth, is a party) and all Territory matters. The proposed extensions to the Courts jurisdiction will not include matters mentioned in paragraphs 38(a)-(d) of the Judiciary Act 1903 (i. e. matters over which the High Court has exclusive jurisdiction) and matters in which certain relief is sought against office holders of the Industrial Relations Commission and .Judges of the Family Court.
-2 -
An application for a group members proceeding may only be made if a question in relation to a federal or Territory matter arises in the principal applicants proceeding that is common to each group members proceeding and the material facts giving rise to each group members proceeding is the same as. or similar or related to, the material facts giving rise to a claim for relief in the principal proceeding (clause 12).
An application for a group members proceeding is to describe or identify group members but it will not be necessary to name them or specify how many of them there are. An application is also to specify the relief claimed in the principal proceeding a. ;d in each of the group members proceedings (clause 13).
Clause 14 provides that the Court may, in the principal applicants proceeding. on application from a potential group member or the defendant, stay all proceedings for a specified time where it finds that their are persons not included as group members but could have been. Where the principal applicant, at the end of the specified time, has not amended there application or sought leave to amend it to start proceedings for further group members the Court may separate the proceedings so that each group member conducts their own proceeding, or replace the principal applicant with an existing or potential group member. The Court may only make such order if it finds that the defendant or the potential group member would suffer prejudice or inconvenience if the application was not amended and the principal applicant would be unlikely to suffer expense or inconvenience.
Except where the Court has given leave to a group member to do otherwise, the principal applicant, will have the conduct of group members proceedings and a step taken by the principal applicant wi ll bind group members. The principal applicants proceeding and group members proceedings will be conducted as one proceeding (clause 16).
Where the Court, on application from the defendant, finds that the costs the defendant would have to bear in relation to identifying group members and distributing to them money likely to be ordered to be paid would be excessive, it may order that the proceedings be separated so that each group member has the conduct of their own proceeding; stay any group members proceeding so far as it related to monetary relief; or dismiss the group members proceeding (clause 17).
Unless the Court otherwise orders, notice of the commencement of a principal proceeding and group members proceedings and the ways in which group members may assume conduct of their proceedings is to given to group members as soon as practicable after the first directions hearing (clause 18).
A group member may opt out of group proceedings by either discontinuing their group members proceeding or conducting it themselves as an individual proceeding (clause 19).
Where the Court finds, at any stage of a proceeding, that the costs of the proceedings are likely to be more than the costs of separate proceedings, it may give the conduct of group members proceedings to one or more members of the group (clause 20).
Clause 28 provides that a principal applicant may not, without the Courts approval, discontinue a group members proceeding, accept money brought into Court in answer to a cause of action in a group members proceeding, or settle a group members claim. The Court is to take into account certain matters when deciding whether they should grant an approval, including the amount offered and the likelihood of success in the proceeding and the nature and the li kely cost and duration of the proceedings if approval were not given. A group member may, without the Courts approval, accept money brought into Court in answer to a cause of action in their proceeding, or settle their proceeding.
- 3-
In proceedings in which the relief sought is or includes payment of money, the Court may order the defendant to pay an aggregate amount rather than specifying the amount payable in respect of each group members proceeding. An aggregate amount will only be set where the Court is satisfied it is a reasonably accurate assessment of the total relief payable (clause 30).
The Court may order a principal applicant to pay costs but may only do so in relation to group members to the extent that they have conduct of a proceeding (clause 31 ).

Episode 28: Akos Ledeczi
[00:00] [background music]
Derek Bruff: [00:10] Welcome to "Leading Lines," a podcast from Vanderbilt University. I'm your host, Derek Bruff, the Director of the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching.
[00:13] In this podcast, we explore creative, intentional, and effective uses of technology to enhance student learning, uses that we hope point the way to the future of educational technology in college and university settings.
[00:25] In this episode, we talk with Akos Ledeczi, Professor of Computer Engineering and a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Software Integrated Systems here at Vanderbilt University.
[00:37] Akos is the lead developer for NetsBlox, a graphical programming language designed to introduce novice programmers from middle school to college to networked programming.
[00:46] Students can use NetsBlox to create simple multi‑player games and to build apps that interface with publicly available data sets. Akos is interviewed by Cliff Anderson, Associate University Librarian for Research and Learning and a member of our Leading Lines team.
[01:01] Cliff and Akos discuss the past, present and future of NetsBlox and explore how graphical programming languages like NetsBlox, Snap and Scratch are changing computer science education.
[01:13] One terminology note, Akos uses the term blocks‑based coding to refer to programming languages like NetsBlox and Scratch, in which graphical interfaces allow users to drag blocks of instructions together to create relatively complex programs.
[01:27] [background music]
Cliff Anderson: [01:27] Hi, this is Cliff Anderson. I am the Associate University Librarian for Research and Learning and Professor of Religious Studies at Vanderbilt. I'm here with Akos Ledeczi, Professor of Computer Engineering, Director of Graduate Studies in Computer Science and also Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Software Integrated Systems at Vanderbilt.
[01:50] Welcome, Akos.
Akos Ledeczi: [01:51] Thank you.
Cliff: [01:52] Today, we're going to be talking broadly about the area of computational thinking, but in particular about a new tool that Akos and his team had put together, that is called NetsBlox.
[02:04] One of the things, before we get into what NetsBlox is, is to talk about how you became interested in this area of blocks‑based programming and model‑based computer systems.
Akos: [02:18] Yes, thank you. I took a really long and roundabout way of getting where I am right now. When I started with my graduate studies in the early '90s, our main research area was this model‑based engineering or what we call model-integrated computing.
[02:35] The idea was that there was very little modeling done in software engineering at the time and then computer science, so we tried to bring in a more disciplined approach to creating software systems.
[02:46] The idea was to create domain‑specific modeling languages. These are graphical modeling languages to software engineering. The reason to do domain‑specific, and not one universal modeling language because software is being used in all kinds of different domains and to us, it never made sense to just try to create one modeling language to capture all.
[03:08] In different engineering disciplines and different science disciplines, there are all of the existing modeling formalisms, so why not create an environment and the modeling language that fits that domain well.
[03:22] That was our idea, and we created a series of tools where you can actually define a modeling language also through graphical means. This environment would configure itself to support that domain‑specific modeling language.
[03:36] There are actually existing examples of domain‑specific design environments already being widely used. One example would be LabVIEW or Simulink Stateflow from MathWorks. These are graphical languages helping engineers create signal processing systems control algorithms or laboratory experiments.
[03:58] Of course, if you don't have a big enough market, it will be really expensive to create a tool just for a small market. Instead, we have this generic tool that was really easy to configure to create a modeling language, and through tool support and APIs, write code generators.
[04:14] Part of the system would be modeled with these graphical tools and the code would be automatically generated. We have actually many successful applications of these techniques throughout the years.
Cliff: [04:24] In a way, this connects, if I understand correctly, with your interest in blocks‑based programming or graphical programming. I'm not sure which term you prefer.
Akos: [04:35] That early part of my career was really based on modeling, so we didn't try to model the software. We tried to model the system, and then generate the software from there.
[04:45] When I started teaching introductory programming with MATLAB to freshmen ‑‑ non‑major freshmen actually, non‑Computer Science majors ‑‑ I noticed that coming with zero programming background and learning text‑based programming language was a pretty big job for many of the students.
[05:05] That's when I started to introduce one of the block‑based programming languages, Scratch, just for the first two weeks of the semester. The students actually liked it and it helped them with the initial learning curve, then we switched to MATLAB. That's how my interest in block‑based programming grew and this model‑based approach and the block‑based came together.
Cliff: [05:31] We were talking before we got started, that graphical‑based computing languages have actually been around for a while now. In fact, Logo, which was created in 1967, when paired with Turtle graphics, has been used for a long time as a tool to teach computational thinking in classrooms. I remember using that in the 1980s.
[05:49] What's fun is that my son is now using it when he's reading Gene Luen Yang's and Mike Holmes' series, Secret Coders, that uses Logo programming to teach basic computer science concepts.
[05:59] Especially fun is the fact that at the end of the book, there's a program listing that he has to type in to get a secret code. I remember doing the exact same thing in the 1980s when I'd get magazines.
[06:09] To learn a game, I'd type in the code listing at the end of the magazine and then see how it worked, which was a great way to learn about computer programming. In any case, you mentioned Scratch. Can you talk a little bit about how you used Scratch in that course and what you found its limitations to be?
Akos: [06:27] As I said, I started teaching MATLAB and it took us, basically, a month to get the loops and the statements, because it's more complicated. The syntax is harder. I started looking for ways of easing this transition from no background to programming. I grew Scratch, and it was really amazing because it was so intuitive.
[06:51] It was a great way of trying to hide a syntax or not get bogged down with the syntax, but think about the algorithms, the computational thinking and not worry about what you have to type, why does the compiler complain, and stuff like that. I liked Scratch, it was really intuitive. When I started doing it, we were able to, together, write our first program with loops and if‑statements during the very first class.
[07:20] It didn't take us a month to go there. It takes us half an hour to go through some of the most important concepts in programming. That was really great, and my philosophy is to learn programming, you have to do it. If you just come to a lecture and listen to what I'm saying, you're not going to learn programming.
[07:39] The first week, I assigned them a sizable project. They had to do it in Scratch. Basically, the first week, they have to do programming, and it turned out very well.
Cliff: [07:48] Probably, there's fear when you're facing a blank page, like any writer has, when you don't even know where to start. Scratch gives you a palette and lets you drag things on and experiment. It's just much easier to begin.
Akos: [08:02] Exactly. Now that I'm teaching in various schools in Nashville, not just at Vanderbilt but various middle schools and high schools, some of the feedback I get is exactly this. "It's so much easier to do it because I can just see what's available and start using it like Lego blocks, and don't have to start with a blank..." [laughs]
[08:24] [crosstalk]
Cliff: [08:24] Screen editor. If I understand correctly, your project builds on Snap, which is a variant of Scratch, that introduces more powerful computer science constructs. Can you talk a little bit about how Snap advances the block‑based programing paradigm from Scratch?
Akos: [08:42] I think Scratch is great. The best demographic is elementary school and middle school. Once you get to high school, and of course college freshmen, like I did, some of the students would consider it too childish or too limiting and things like that. Snap is actually great because it added some important, more advanced concepts to what Scratch supports.
[09:11] For example, recursion or full‑fledged functions called custom blocks and some higher order functions. There are some features of Snap that I have never used even now.
Cliff: [09:22] I see it allows you to do continuations, which is a unique feature in Scheme. It is pretty advanced.
Akos: [09:29] Right. I think what they call it is a graphical version of Scheme. That's exactly what they tried to do. That is great. Of course, there was one huge advantage over Scratch, which is its open source and it's implemented in Java Suite. We were able to take that open source code base and add blocks on top of it.
Cliff: [09:48] Let's come to NetsBlox. NetsBlox, as I understand, it has two major innovations. One is message passing and the other is distributive programming. Can you talk about why you added those two features in particular as your innovations on Snap?
Akos: [10:01] If you go back one decade, two decades ago I was working with model integrated computing. A decade ago, I started working with distributive programming, specifically wireless sensor networks. I really like these two areas.
[10:19] When I started using Scratch and then Snap, I realized that even though Snap is much more advanced, it's still limiting because it still puts you in a sandbox, which is the stage where your photographic objects can move around and whatnot. You are still limited to that sandbox.
[10:38] The idea was, these days, almost any application used on your phone or your laptop is network. You go to Google Maps. You listen to Pandora. You go to Netflix, Facebook. Everything is networked. I thought that was a really big missing piece from these block‑based languages to open up the Internet. How can you do that?
[11:02] We started brainstorming with my team. They came up with these two abstractions on this message passing so that actually you can pass messages between two computers.
[11:15] Our goal was to enable multi‑player games. Kids play multi‑player games all the time. How about making it easy for them to create multi‑player games? That should spike their interest. That was one reason we introduced message passing.
[11:30] The other main concept we introduced, what we call remote procedure calls which allows you to call some kind of function, some kind of procedure in the remote machine. That remote machine, in our case, is our own server.
[11:44] There, we interfaced to a set of public domain databases or data sources on the Internet such as Google Maps, Weather, USGS Earth Screen Data, or the Sloan Digital SkyServer for Astrodome Images to open movie database and a bunch of others. Now, kids can write programs which can access these data sources.
[12:09] For example, in a five‑minute video, I show how you can create an interactive weather map where you have the entire world show up as a Google Map background. You can click anywhere. It shows you the current conditions anywhere on the world. It literally takes five minutes to create that application with NetsBlox.
Cliff: [12:29] I think it's wonderful, especially that you provided so many different examples so that people can get started, see how the code works and then see what the code is exactly, what the blocks are and then take it from there.
Akos: [12:37] Right. The whole thing is obviously iterative in the sense that these kinds of applications, these network applications that get data from the server start out easy just like this weather application. Of course, you can get more and more complicated when you get to the message passing.
[12:52] Again, you can do some relatively simple applications like implement a quick chat room, or text messages, or something like that. Once you get to the multi‑player games, now that's a relatively big jump because now you have to think about distributed algorithms.
[13:06] It's much more complicated than just a simple algorithm. Now two machines running in parallel has to coordinate and communicate with each other. That's where the ceiling is raised for learning more advanced concepts.
Cliff: [13:24] Yeah, I would say that a large majority of computer programmers in the professional world have difficulty with those concepts.
Akos: [13:30] Right. Except, NetsBlox makes them a whole lot simpler than you would have to do it in Java or anything else. These are the kinds of games we support, more like either board games or games where there is some limited amount of animation.
[13:48] Of course, you know the name of the first‑person shooter game. That's only because it's just not what it was designed for.
Cliff: [13:55] Another area that's caught the attention of the educational technology community are microcontrollers. I know there have been people developing blocks‑based programming languages for controllers like the Arduino. For example, ArduBlock, mBlock, or S4A. Have you thought about developing a version of NetsBlox to use on the Arduino?
Akos: [14:15] Yes, definitely. Actually, there is a version of Snap called Snap4Arduino. The developer of that version and the Snap developers are working relatively closely. By the way, we are also working with that same team closely because they like what we are doing. Yes, definitely, that's an interesting topic.
[14:38] What we actually would like to do is even better, which is we want to introduce robotics. There are of course all of the existing robots that you can program with these block‑based languages.
[14:48] What NetsBlox can bring to the table is using multi‑player blocks. Now, the robots can communicate with each other. You can implement the robot team‑based applications, not just programming the same robots.
Cliff: [15:07] Boy, that sounds fantastic, great plan.
Akos: [15:10] Yes. That's our next plan.
Cliff: [15:13] Well, I guess you're just leading me into my next question, which is where do you plan to go next with NetsBlox? I know you've received some grant funding at this point, but I also get the sense that this is just the beginning for you. Can you talk about some of your plans for the future apart from robotics?
Akos: [15:28] Yes, that's right. First of all, I'd like to thank the TIPs program of Vanderbilt that kickstarted the whole thing. Once we had that going and we had an early prototype, we were able to convince the National Science Foundation to give us some more funding to develop NetsBlox into a full‑fledged environment. Yes, robotics is definitely one area we would like to look into.
[15:49] The other one is porting NetsBlox applications to iPhones and Android phones and then give access to the sensors there. Now, the students will be able to write the applications that use the motion sensor [inaudible] made or camera even on the phone. That will be another interesting extension.
[16:11] Another probably longer term is creating a more advanced version of NetsBlox that, instead of a visual programming language, uses Python. Again, the networking part is still fairly problematic. It's only taught in computer science in college‑level classes and not even freshmen college level of classes. Probably junior level.
[16:37] What if we could have a Python‑based environment that exposes high school students to networking so the more advanced students who find the block‑based approach limiting, still they could actually graduate to Python and still use these data sources and the message passing abstractions so that they can write this to the applications.
Cliff: [16:59] That actually leads me to another question. You mentioned that there are limitations to block‑based programming languages and that to accomplish certain tasks, you have to step outside of them to text‑based languages, say Python, in order to get things done.
[17:12] Could you foresee a future in which, for a certain subclass of students, block‑based paradigms meet all their computing needs so that they could stay entirely within a block‑based language and still get significant computational tasks accomplished?
Akos: [17:28] I think that maybe it will bring together that whole model‑based idea that I was talking about at the beginning and the block‑based programming. I can certainly see a domain‑specific environment that are not necessarily a general‑purpose programming language.
[17:47] These kinds of languages, you can write small programs, few hundred blocks, maybe 1,000 blocks. Beyond that, it becomes unmanageable. Just like today, for example, I teach MATLAB, as I mentioned.
[17:59] That's a full‑fetched programming language and it's text‑based programming language, yet it's not the general purpose, in the sense that nobody's writing operating systems or word processors in MATLAB. That's for very specific, scientific computing, numerical computing, sigma processing, and those kinds of applications, and it's great. You can write a few thousand‑line codes in MATLAB.
[18:19] It's really a wonderful tool, but it's not a general purpose programming language, so I can imagine these domain‑specific environments that will speak to block‑based programming because it's simply easier to learn.
[18:34] If your main job is not to write programs, but to do something else, work in the sciences or whatnot, and you find it difficult to learn a general purpose programming language, these domain‑specific environments specifically tailored for your domain could be way of the future.
Cliff: [18:50] I guess you might look at a product like Tableau, for example, which allows you to do data visualization with a wonderful palette of features, and doesn't require you to step into programming languages, like R or Python, when all you want to do is output an interactive visualization.
[19:05] I could imagine that there'd be tools like that in other domains that will allow you to stay within a block‑based language, and to get your work done. There are also tools like Blockly from Google, for example, that allow you to program in a visual style, and then output textual programs in standard languages like JavaScript.
[19:23] Do you see a role for outputting textual programs from NetsBlox in a similar manner?
Akos: [19:28] I see Blockly as somewhat different than the block Snap Extension and NetsBlox is trying to do. Blockly is more for people who want to create tools like NetsBlox, so we could have used Blockly instead of Snap, but Snap was much closer to what we wanted.
[19:51] Actually, in one of our projects that we created, a molecular dynamic simulation front‑end tool for chemical engineers, and one of the aspects of that tool was based on Blockly, so they could drive this simulation script in a Blockly‑based visual programming language. I think for those kinds of things, Blockly is great.
[20:14] For what we're trying to do, I think Snap was much better as a starting point.
Cliff: [20:21] Let's come back around to this theme of computational thinking, because if we're seeing greater adoption of these tools in the K‑12 arena, how do you think that'll affect students coming into Vanderbilt?
[20:35] I think one of the things that you and I have talked about in other contexts is the unevenness of people's background in computational thinking, and in experiential programming languages when they arrive on campus, and how that maybe shapes their trajectories here. Can you talk a little bit about what you'd like to see?
[20:50] You mentioned you're volunteering in middle schools, I think, or elementary schools. How will this shape the students that we're going to see, do you think?
Akos: [20:59] That's a great question. There is actually a nationwide movement to introduce more computer science into all kinds of schools, and I think that's great. It's great, not because we want everybody to become a computer science major, but basically, most kinds of job these days, be in sciences, STEM, or even humanities, or anywhere else.
[21:26] A lot of those jobs require some basic knowledge of programming. That's definitely an important consideration. On the other hand, these text‑based languages still act as a barrier, in the sense that many kids find it really scary to even take a class that's based on computer science and whatnot.
[21:53] I think one other big advantage of this block‑based language is that they lower the barrier and make it more appealing to students, who would otherwise not consider computer science or even just taking a computing course, in general.
Cliff: [22:12] As we wind up, we always ask our guests, because this is an educational podcast, what's their favorite analog educational technology?
Akos: [22:21] [laughs] Analog educational technology, never heard that expression in my life.
[22:28] [laughter]
Akos: [22:30] I was closer in saying drawing in general, but yeah, it's a tool. The calendar, [laughs] [inaudible] , it's probably still...
Cliff: [22:36] If we did a poll, that would be way out on top. Thank you, Akos. This has been terrific, and we really appreciate your time.
[22:49] [background music]
Akos: [22:49] Thank you so much for having me.
Derek: [22:50] That was Akos Ledeczi, Professor of Computer Engineering, here at Vanderbilt University, and Lead Developer of the graphical network programming language, NetsBlox. See the show notes for more information on NetsBlox, including information on how to get started using it.
[23:01] I'm really interested in one of the questions Cliff asked near the end of the interview about the growing emphasis on computer programming in K‑12 settings.
[23:08] My younger daughter started learning to code in Scratch last year, in third grade, and she's really loving her After‑School Robotics Club this year, in fourth grade.
[23:16] Now, she's choosing for more programming experiences by doing this afterschool stuff, but I know that Scratch is a standard part of the curriculum at her elementary school, and in others as well.
[23:26] I keep trying to imagine what she'll know about coding, as a college freshman eight years from now, compared to what I knew at the end of my college career, as a computer science major.
[23:36] With more and more programming experiences in K12 settings, it's likely that students will arrive on our campuses in the coming years with some, perhaps, significant skills in computer programming.
[23:46] How might that change the computer science curriculum? How might that change the curriculum in other disciplines? I'd love to hear your thoughts on these questions.
[23:53] You can find this on Twitter @leadinglinespod, and we're going to try this for the first time. You can send us a voicemail via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how a K12 programming experiences might change the curriculum at the college level.
[24:12] Leading Lines is produced by the Center for Teaching, the Vanderbilt Institute for Digital Learning, the Office of Scholarly Communications, and the Associate Provost for Digital Learning. This episode was edited by Rhett McDaniel. Look for new episodes the first and third Monday of each month and you can find past episodes on our website, leadinglinespod.com.

Customer Reviews
What You'll Get
Tinted windows are like sunglasses for automobiles, imbuing their wearers with aloof and brooding allure in mall parking lots, car washes, and college lecture halls. Boost your car's appeal with today's Groupon to The Tint Shop. Choose between two options:
• For $15, you get an Aquapel glass treatment (a $39.95 value).
• For $50, you get $100 worth of window tinting, headlight lens films, and other services.
A 3M–authorized dealer, The Tint Shop's automobile ardents can clear up beleaguered car complexions with a passel of waterproofing, window-tinting, and paint-protection services. Brushed onto car windows, Aquapel glass treatment repels water, reduces glare, and counteracts witches' storm-conjuring hexes, increasing visibility in the rain. Its fluorinated compounds form a chemical bond with glass, helping its effects last for several months. Carriage cosseters can also apply a standard tint ($129–$249) to stop the North Star from staring creepily through car windows or anoint headlights with clear and color protective lens films ($150/two lights). The Tint Shop also performs remote-start installations ($199+) for cars feeling particularly envious of televisions and clap-on ceiling lights.
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Dec 23, 2011. Amount paid never expires. Limit 1 per person. Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for option purchased. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About The Tint Shop
The Tint Shop outfits vehicles and businesses with all their tinting needs using a majority 3M products, a trade that's earned the business accolades on the Democrat and Chronicle's Rochester's Choice list for nine years in a row. The shop's film-application specialists cloak auto glass with six different types of film, from high-performance charcoal sheaths to fun tints in a rainbow of colors. Solar-control films block up to 99% of the sun's rays—keeping upholstery from fading and bread from toasting—while specially designed safety and security films reinforce glass to protect it during harsh weather or burglaries. Aside from treating windows, The Tint Shop's crew also masks headlights and taillights and soups up rides with vinyl graphics, audio and video systems, car alarms, and remote starters.

Scientific collaboration is the key to saving lives in Southeast Asia
Communities across Southeast Asia have to endure some of the world's most severe weather as the region is regularly affected by floods, major cyclones and other high-impact events.
Understanding more about the region's severe weather and protecting lives and livelihoods are primary aims of a new science-based weather and climate partnership for countries in the region, currently including Malaysia and the Philippines.
The Met Office, as a delivery partner for the Newton Fund, will be working with organisations in the region and the UK to build a program of scientific weather-related research and to develop advice related to high-impact weather events.
Simon Vosper, Met Office Director of Meteorological Science, said: "Southeast Asia is regularly rocked by high-impact weather events. Our partnership program will build further understanding of the development of severe weather in the region improving the accuracy and detail of forecasts through more refined models. The end result is improved forecasts saving lives and protecting livelihoods."
The program will be launched at events in the Philippines on 21 July and Malaysia on 25 July, 2017.
The Weather & Climate Service Partnership for Southeast Asia (WCSSP Southeast Asia) builds on other projects around the world, including Brazil, China and South Africa.
The Southeast Asia partnership is led in the Philippines by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and in Malaysia by the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA).
The Weather and Climate Science for Service (WCSSP) Programme comprises projects to develop partnerships harnessing UK scientific expertise to build the basis for strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities to weather and climate variability, supported by the UK government's Newton Fund.
WCSSP currently includes the following projects: the Climate Science for Service Partnership China (CSSP China), the Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership South Africa (WCSSP South Africa) and Climate Science for Service Partnership Brazil (CSSP Brazil).

13 Oct Minimalist Decor idea Cyahi's Frames, Wall Plates and more…
"Home is where the heart is", this famous quote is true indeed. No matter where we are, we never truly feel at peace unless we are home. But even the most beautiful home tends to lose its charm after a certain point. This doesn't mean you have to change your home or shell out thousands to change your home interior from top to bottom. Just a few additions can make a huge difference to the ambience and bring back the magic of your 'home sweet home'. If you are bored of the same old interior of your home, check out these minimalist decor ideas that will brighten up your place instantly.
1| Canvas/ Wall Frame
A colourful piece of canvas art or frame on a blank wall can make a world of difference. Anything simple with an abstract pattern is a good way to start. You can also try hanging canvas in 'threes' which is popular. This style of wall art is trending right now and adds diversity to the interior. Here are some of Cyahi's best selling wall art pieces.
- Summer Days Canvas
This is a simple wall art that mirrors a perfect summer afternoon. It's easy on the eyes and is sure to liven up the room.
- Around The World Art Frame
Every avid traveler can relate to this captivating art frame. This wall art will remind you to never let the traveler inside you perish.
- A Day At The Court Canvas
Love sports? Display your love for sports with this exuberant wall art. The white backdrop makes this canvas art perfect for a bright purple, red, grey or blue wall.
2| Wall Plates
Wall plate decoration adds an unexpected freshness to the interior. Wall plates are versatile and can blend in any kind of home interior while giving it a rich look. The wall plate design has been pretty constant since last few years and you should definitely give it a go before it goes out of style. Here are a few of Cyahi's elegant wall plates:
- Floral Dreams Wall Plate
You can hang a single wall plate on a plain or empty wall or try hanging a set of two. Nonetheless, wall plates don't require much effort when it comes to placement.
- Dance of the Flamingos Wall Plate
How about this unique flamingo wall plate? Place a set of two or a bunch of plates in a circle to add more drama to the interior.
3| Statement Clock
A large vintage wall clock will give your home interior the edge it needs. Most Scandinavian home interiors make use of large clocks, sometimes using multiple clocks as the main feature of the interior.
4| Add Plants
Plants inside the house can bring a lot of positive energy with them, especially in the winters. Add charm and brightness to your bedroom or living area with a few indoor low-maintenance plants.
5| Vibrant Cushions
Every coach needs a few vivid cushions to brighten up the room. Cyahi's radiant collection of cushion covers will complete the look of your couch effortlessly. Check out the collection here.

Unattractive discoloured, crooked or missing teeth can be changed, replaced, and enhanced. Often this can be achieved without discomfort in only one or two visits. And some of the latest techniques can be much cheaper and easier than you would expect.
A bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more natural missing teeth. It does this by fixing the replacement teeth (pontic teeth) to the natural teeth at each side of the gap (called the abutment teeth). The abutment part of a bridge is essentially a crown that is cemented onto the abutment tooth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of the mouth by the patient.
Bridges can be made up of a variety of materials including gold and porcelain.
You will be greeted by the receptionist and given further brief information on the facilities and staff. The dentist and nurse will introduce themselves and you will be given the opportunity to discuss any dental issues that may be worrying you. We will review your Medical History, and then proceed with a thorough dental examination and take any necessary radiographs. Often we will take photographs to help you understand any problems that have been identified. The dentist will then discuss your requirements with you, giving you appropriate alternatives and options to consider. A written treatment plan will be given to you and options for payment will be outlined. The receptionist will then arrange any further appointments which may be required.
Modern dental technology has provided us with the opportunity to select from a large range of materials for crowns. Crowns are made by highly skilled dental technicians in a dental laboratory.
Gold alloy (usually approximately 60% gold) crowns and palladium crowns are exceptionally well suited for the back grinding teeth.
We are pleased to announce that we can offer you a complete implant and crown from only £990! Possibly the best price you will get anywhere in the UK. And it comes with our full guarantee.
We use the very latest materials and methods to ensure that we get the best fit and appearance for all our denture work. The highest quality acrylic teeth from various manufacturers means we can offer you a large choice of tooth types and shapes. This is to ensure that the eventual look of the denture and teeth suits your mouth and smile. The dental technicians who fabricate the dentures all have the latest laboratory equipment and can offer us systems like injection moulding for complete precision and accuracy.
We offer a FREE no-obligation dental implant consultation.
We have the skills and equipment necessary to carry out root canal treatment to the highest standards. The shape of the root canal system is often very complex and there are many nooks and crannies into which the bacterial can grow. We have invested in surgical microscopes that allow us to find these very small spaces and canals, so that we can improve on the success rates for this type of treatment. We also have other specialised instrumentation to make the process quicker and more predictable.
Look younger! Look fresh! We offer the latest in tooth whitening techniques.

The teen returned Tuesday. Chris said he came back to drop off sweatshirt but told FOX13 that was not all his cousin had.
"He held a BB gun in the air, and they just took him down on sight."
Multiple police officers had guns drawn but, based on multiple videos posted by witnesses, all waited at least two minutes before firing.
"I don't blame them because they were doing their job," said Chris. "[But] they could've tried to understand, could've tried to see where his mind was at."
Arkansas State Police and Marion Police Department would not confirm if Clark was holding any sort of weapon or if it was a BB gun.

Believing is seeing.
Have courage to live your vision and look beyond appearances to the underlying truth, you will triumph over lack and limitation.

Be a pioneer of possibility.
My intent is to bless and be blessed.
Enjoy giving expression to your creative potential.
May your joys be as deep as the ocean, your sorrows as light as it's foam.
I feed my subconscious daily, with healthy, delicious and satisfying thoughts.

Baker & Hostetler, a law firm with 900 lawyers, has recently announced that it has engaged an additional "lawyer." The new "lawyer" is ROSS, a robot, utilizing artificial intelligence, who was added to Baker & Hostetler's bankruptcy team. The firm has licensed the artificial intelligence product developed by Ross Intelligence, which will be powered by IBM's Watson technology. Ross, marketed as "the world's first artificially intelligent attorney," will do certain limited and focused legal research for Baker & Hostetler's 50-lawyer bankruptcy group. The "lawyer" is capable of sorting through unstructured data at a rate of over a billion documents per second; its mission is to sort through legal documents to strengthen the firm's cases. Users can also ask natural language questions and receive answers. The system is designed to review the data "intelligently," identifying the most relevant legal authority instead of producing raw results located with keywords. Lawyers can interact with the relevant passages of the law found by ROSS. The robot also will continuously improve its search results as it monitors the law for changes. ROSS will be billed as a subscription service.
This is another intriguing advancement of technology as applied to legal practice. While we acknowledge that technology is here to stay and growing more ubiquitous and more effective, from electronic discovery to the availability of real-time transcription in the courtroom, we nevertheless wonder to what extent too much reliance will be placed on such artificial intelligence. Without "human" attorney review, it may be that the robot will miss the subtleties and nuances of the law and that certain relevant documents or authority will go unnoticed. One obvious question is the assessment of credibility. Is Ross capable of identifying the viability of such defenses as equitable estoppel, or much more subtle but equally important causes of action, such as breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing? Provided the limitations of the technology are recognized, this kind of service does have its place.
At the end of the day, lawyers remain responsible for the ultimate work product regardless of how prepared and by whom. The ethical norm requiring all lawyers to exercise "independent professional judgment" when representing a client, a bedrock principle that forms the foundation of a number of our Rules of Professional Conduct, may actually be breached by lawyer overreliance on a machine. More significantly, the RPCs, both at the ABA level and at the state level, just do not address what may sometimes present as a serious problem in lawyering. Legal educators, especially clinical teachers, are increasingly lamenting the inability of students to analyze complex problems and provide practical solutions to those problems because of overreliance on electronic research databases. To the extent that Ross functions like a LEXIS or Westlaw search and presents appropriate documents for first review, there still may be a need for attorney "instinct" and awareness of other factors not necessarily programmable. On the other hand, human lawyers miss things that ROSS and its equivalents may catch. We wonder whether new standards for diligence for lawyers should include proper use of such artificial intelligence.
The jury is still out as to whether current professional liability standards will need to be adapted to these new technologies, and even ROSS cannot predict that verdict with certainty. In the meantime, we caution lawyers to remember that ROSS is not subject to discipline and that lawyers still remain responsible for the ultimate work product.

Pastor Kong Hee and four senior executives of the City Harvest Church -- a Christian group registered as a charity -- were arrested by the Commercial Affairs Department, a police unit set up to fight financial crime. Officials said they were suspected of diverting at least Sg$23 million earmarked for charitable projects and spent money on a bid by the pastor's wife, Ho Yeow Sun, to launch an evangelical music career in the United States. The church, which has affiliates in neighboring Malaysia and other countries, is famous for services that resemble pop concerts. "It's confirmed that five persons were arrested and Kong Hee is one of them," a police spokesman told AFP. All five, who are out on bail, have also been suspended from their church positions. Kong and his wife, whose whereabouts were unknown, became minor celebrities in Singapore for launching the church, which authorities estimate had a congregation of about 33,000 and net assets of Sg$103 million in 2009. In a post on popular microblogging site Twitter on Tuesday morning, Kong tweeted a Bible Psalm in Mandarin saying God will protect him from evil. Authorities began an investigation in 2010 after receiving complaints about the misuse of the funds, the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, which oversees charitable institutions, said in a press release. "Financial irregularities of at least Sg$23 million from the Charity's funds have been discovered," it said. "There was a concerted effort to conceal this movement of funds from its stakeholders." The five will be charged in court on Wednesday and if convicted, each of them could face life imprisonment as well as a fine. Church officials contacted by AFP did not comment. In 2009, a prominent Buddhist monk heading one of Singapore's largest charities was jailed for six months for misappropriating hospital funds and lying about it to authorities.

Conditional Navistar Deal Ratified To Save Plant
dated May 15, 2003
Chatham, Ontario
May 13, 2003
From the ashes of what seemed inevitable closure, the 900 workers at the International Navistar Truck plant in Chatham Ontario have a new hope. Over 90 percent of the members of CAW Local 127 and Local 35 voted in favour of a conditional agreement with the company to keep the plant in operation. The condition is the federal and provincial governments agree to an appropriate financial support package of $15 million a year for three years. CAW National President Buzz Hargrove told the members it's now up to the politicians.

"We must all talk to our members of parliament and say that we need your help. Now the union has done its job. The company has now done its job. It's saying it will stay in Chatham if the governments come to the table with an appropriate response to their request."
Hargrove warned the members not to ease up on the local politicians.

"Every one wants to take some credit. Local members are saying, "I've been involved in the background. I've done this. I've done that. Don't believe it for a second. Keep the pressure on. I have absolutely no quarrel, if the politicians want to take credit to keep this plant open let's give it to them. But part of that credit is that they damn well better come to the table."
Doug Deneau, chair of the bargaining committee said the 90 per cent endorsement by the members shows the workers are making the sacrifice to save their jobs.

"It sends a message to them too, that the Auto Pact is now gone and these companies are trying to rape the employees and that's got to stop. So we need to go after them and they have to come to the table here with the extra money because they made the laws that did this too us in the first place."
Bob Chernecki, assistant to the CAW national president said the financial aid being requested is a drop in the bucket, compared to what it will cost the government if the plant closes.

"If you look at what the tax base alone would be with the loss of this plant is in the hundreds of millions; paying out U.I. at hundreds of millions of dollars to people who will be on the street after July 18th here. There's every single good reason in the world for them to step in. And if there was ever a reason this is it, to help save this community, because that is what it means. This is about the life or death of this community."
CAW members across Canada have been asked to contact their MPs demanding support for the Navistar workers and for new legislation to replace the Auto Pact.
CAW "Fighting Back Makes a Difference."

The school district gives the kids the day after halloween off which is kind of nice. Sports give a day off so the kids can go trick or treating so we had a day with nothing to do which was nice. After he had cross country he called to tell me he was going to a friends house and was going to go trick or treating later. I told him to touch base if he needed rides, etc. He had fun with his friends. They dressed up in morph suits. Tight, spandex suits and had fun. I remember when halloween changed from being all about candy to being about hanging out with friends. Someone once told me most of your influence ends around 12 and I am starting to see how a lot of that is true. I think you still have tremendous influence throughout middle and high school but kids are going to making their own decisions at that point and need that inner confidence to choose what they were taught was right.
He is doing cross country at school which has been fun for him. A couple of his friends are doing it which is always nice. He does a running group in the winter which he says is more fun because it is more running and instructional but this is fun to be with his friends and actually do races. He was too scared to go to meets last year with running club so it is fun to see him enjoy racing. I am really impressed with how fast he is for how little he practices. He went a 9:15 in the 1.5 mile run. They have 5 meets against the other high schools. He has had 2 meets so far. Every time he has a competition he is excited about how he knows he can go faster the next time. The first meet he had was a really confusing course since he had never run it. He thought the finish line was in the wrong direction but felt good about everything else. I listened to them explain the course and had no clue how the kids would figure it out but it turns out each course is a home course so the kids from the home school knew how to run it. I was proud of him for having a smile on his face. I missed the running part because it was on a golf course but excited for him. The next run was much more straight forward and he said was a lot easier. It was cooler and not as hilly so that is probably why it was easier. Not sure what his time was but it was fun to see him cheering on teammates, seeing him see friends from other schools and enjoy being part of the team. He thinks he went slower but it could have been the course was easier. I have no clue. It has been a good experience for him. His goal is to go under 6 minutes for his pace which is a good goal.
He has been playing basketball at lunch with his friends which is nice because he doesn't really know how to play but is willing to learn and assist his friends who play. He has a tendency to not want to do things that he isn't totally confident or comfortable with so it is nice to see him try new things and have fun doing them. The other day he said he was going to work on getting better which I thought was cool. I asked him if he wanted to sign up for a league but he didn't want to do that just shoot for fun. That was so refreshing to see him want to have fun, learn a new skill but not have to be competitive with it. Maybe he is maturing.
His first band concert is tomorrow which should be fun. It is nice he is enjoying band. I thought it would be fun for him to try out for jazz band next year. I did jazz band and it was fun but he thinks he wants to still play the flute and play the piano at home so we shall see. I am so glad he is involved in school activities. They had their first school dance which he and his friends didn't go to. I have learned not to tell him what he should and shouldn't do because that just bugs him and in the long run it isn't that big of a deal. Originally they were all going to go with a group but then decided not to. Maybe next time.
Aquabears has been fun for him now that he has a wetsuit and stays warmer. He is still cold but is having a lot of fun with his friends. It is such a great group of kids. He is gaining confidence in trying new events at meets. He isn't as confident and a racer at practice and meets as he is in the summer but I think that is just because there are so many kids and it is new events. He doesn't get as scared to try new events which is nice. He usually goes about 3 times a week since he has scouts and usually one other activity or playdate. Grateful he is having fun with his friends.
He is enjoying scouts. He got two ranks completed which got him excited to work towards his eagle. He is really motivated and we are figuring out the scout world. It is so different than cubs. Some of the merit badges are really cool. It makes me want to sign up to teach some of them. Maybe in December when I have a couple months off of work.
