Inmates at Ellsworth Correctional Facility will be able to use wireless devices for the Adult Education Program offered through Barton Community College, thanks to action taken Thursday by the college’s board of trustees. The trustees approved a two-year contract for support technology at ECF, where Barton has a contract with the Kansas Department of Corrections. The total contract is for $101,100, funded by grant money. Under this contract, American Prison Data Systems will provide 50 Samsung Galaxy Tab S2’s with cases, charging stations, and associated peripherals; 1GB bandwidth per month; 24/7/365 security and monitoring; unlimited tech support; unlimited technical and virtual provisioning; AZTEC; National Corrections Library, Secure Content Locker, Connected Corrections (including teacher communication), APDS Learning Management System, Khan Academy Lite, TED Talks, and a secure browser. The administration presented this contract to trustees at a study session earlier this month. The contract will benefit the students by providing additional resources they can use outside of normal classroom hours. Tablets and the special technology will allow inmates to learn from web based applications they would not normally have access to, due to security concerns. Read More. |

Judges presidentially appointed to serve during good behavior since 1789 on the U.S. district courts, U.S. courts of appeals, Supreme Court of the United States, as well as the former U.S. circuit courts, Court of Claims, U.S. Customs Court, and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. Also included are judges who received presidential recess appointments to the above-named courts but were not confirmed by the Senate to serve during good behavior. The Waco Federal Court is experienced in patent litigation and starting to become the go-to district for intellectual property cases. The appointment of Waco’s new federal judge, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrows the venue for patent cases and Waco’s home in the federal Western District of Texas have combined into a perfect storm that could drastically alter Waco’s legal landscape.

The administration shows this paper to psychologists while a training program earlier this month. I do have assignment help for them. The contract will benefit students by providing additional resources they can use outside of regular semester hours.
