Net Neutrality Quashed: New Pricing Schemes, Throttling, and Business Models to Follow
A court loss for “net neutrality” could mean either a new era of innovation or preferential treatment and higher costs.
A decision issued today by a U.S. federal appeals court struck down parts of the Federal Communications Commission’s Open Internet, or “net neutrality,” rules issued in 2010. Accepting much of a challenge by Verizon, the court killed the FCC’s policies that aimed to prevent data discrimination or data blocking. But the ruling does require carriers to disclose when they block, slow, or expedite various kinds of traffic in the future.

DoIT to Restart Bb System on Wed., 1/16/14 @ 10 a.m.
Known Issue with Bb Export/Import and Assessments
1/16/14 UPDATE
DoIT will be taking down Bb again at 10 a.m. today to address the issues below. We anticipate this will take one hour.
1/15/14 UPDATE
This morning's restart did not resolve these known issues with slow export/import of course shells, or creation of tests and assessments. Our case has been escalated with Bb support and we continue to troubleshoot the issue. I will update this notice when I feel the issue is resolved.
I realize this is very inconvenient for faculty preparing Spring 2014 courses. Thank you in advance for your patience.
John Fritz
Asst. VP, Instructional Technology & New Media
UMBC Division of Information Technology
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To address two known issues following last week's upgrade to the main Blackboard production system, DoIT will be restarting Blackboard tomorrow, January 15, at 9 a.m. We anticipate the system will be down for one hour.
Since last week's upgrade, several faculty have reported the following issues:
- Exporting and importing old courses is taking unusually long or even "timing out"
- Creating tests or assessments is returning an "object not found" or "reference ID" error message.
In some cases, we have found that both issues can be mitigated by just waiting a little longer to click a "submit" button and let these processes complete. However, we know this is unacceptable, particularly as more faculty return to prepare their course sites for the Spring 2014 semester.
We have been working with Blackboard, which believes the errors are related to multiple "building blocks" or "plugins" being out of synch with the main production system since last week's upgrade. Blackboard recommends a rolling restart of the main production system, which we are doing tomorrow instead of a regular, weekly scheduled maintenance on Friday nights.
This reboot does not affect Winter 2014 Bb courses or online placement exams, all of which are operating on a separate server at bb-winter.umbc.edu.
After the Bb system restart, if you experience any problems, please submit a Request Tracker (RT) ticket via the myUMBC help menu or directly at
my.umbc.edu/help.
Stop by the Campus Information Center in The Commons to purchase the tickets listed below!
Friday, January 17th

Manil Suri, Mathematics, Op-Ed in The Times of India
In an op-ed published in The Times of India on January 12, mathematics professor and affiliate professor of Asian studies Manil Suri wrote about the nuclear terrorism threat in South Asia. The column was written in response to the revelation that a captured Indian terrorist was hoping to obtain a nuclear bomb from Pakistan to plant in the Indian city of Surat. In the column titled “The nuclear nightmare,” Suri comments on the current nuclear threat between Pakistan and India: “With enough nuclear warheads to wipe each other out, India and Pakistan are in a classic configuration of mutually assured destruction,” he writes. …

Adelstein '96, bio chem, brings tech firm to bwtech@UMBC
Mike Adelstein ’96, biochemistry & molecular biology, CEO of Potomac Photonics, recently moved the 31-year-old tech company to bwtech@UMBC. Potomac specializes in microfabrication and can machine a variety of materials at a size that cannot be achieved using conventional processes (think smaller than a hair follicle).
According to the Baltimore Business Journal, the move is expected to be good for both the company and the UMBC campus community:
Adelstein […] sees the move as a potential recruiting tool. Potomac will be utilizing interns as well as graduate students for some of its work, he said. It will give Potomac a good way to try the students out and see if it would like to bring them on as full-time employees.
