Do not use the .local TLD for local development on Mac Os X Lion.
Websites using the .local domain name extension will become very slow.
Lion handles .local TLD differently because it's reserved for some Multicast DNS features (used by Bonjour). The only way i found to solve this issue is using a different TLD for development hosts (ie: .dev). It works fine for me, hope it's gonna be helpful to others!

A truck, called the Eyes of Freedom Truck, made a stop at the National D-Day Memorial, Friday. This truck commemorates a unit's loss in the Iraq War — a Marine Reserve company that lost 26 men in 2005 in fighting in Al Anbar province — the type of loss in which Bedford can surely empathize.
For all of the benefits expected to arrive with the reversion of Bedford into a town, some negative aspects have come to fruition, as well.
As part of the reversion agreement, what was formerly the City Parks and Recreation Department was to have fallen under the auspices of the Bedford County Parks and Recreation Department.
No changes will be made in the town's hunting regulations, following a successful season in which a few properties within the town's boundaries qualified for hunting on that land.
During a work session of the Public Safety Committee last Tuesday, Bedford Police Chief James Day said there weren't any issues with the new hunting ordinance that took effect this hunting season. Six property owners took advantage of the guidelines set up to allow for urban hunting.
Moneta Rescue Squad's crew hall was just fine when it was originally built, but it finally reached the point of being marginally adequate.
John Singer, captain of the Moneta Rescue Squad, notes one issue — the width of the ambulance bays — as an example. Ambulances were a lot smaller 40 years ago. Today ambulances have one inch to spare on each side when they pull out.
Another issue is the lack of insulation. Singer said it's a cinderblock building with no insulation at all.
The National D-Day Memorial could use a little help from its friends as it prepares to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day this year.
Blame it on El Niño.
According to the National Weather Service's Blacksburg office, the pattern of weather we've seen this winter is typical of a neutral El Niño as streams of moisture and blasts of cold try to get together. This couple finally made a match just before Valentine's Day.
Drivers are encouraged to avoid southbound I-81 in Montgomery County
SALEM– Many roads remain mostly snow covered in western Virginia as snow continues to fall. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews and contractors continue to plow and treat primary roads (those numbered 1-599) and interstates.
The real estate land books in Bedford County's circuit court are a treasure trove for people doing genealogical research.
"They are used a lot," said Cathy Hogan, clerk of the circuit court. "They were in terrible shape."
According to Bedford Fire Chief Brad Creasy, firefighters are running into a situation inside some houses, when they respond to a fire, that hampers their ability to fight the fire. That obstacle: hoarding.
"We've seen a growing number of houses that have hoarding-like conditions in recent years," Creasy said.
On Monday, workers from James Jones & Associates demolished the historic house at 719 Longwood Ave. in Bedford that was damaged beyond repair in a mid-December fire. The house was built in 1891 and was home to Josephine Bibb, a well-known Bedford teacher from her birth until her death in 2003. Jamie Snell is the most recent owner of the historic home. The fire began in the area of the home's wood stove. The homeowners were not at home when the fire began.

Intellikine and the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium Initiate Phase I Trial of Targeted Drug INK128
Pre-clinical research supports potential of novel, orally available small molecule TORC1/2 inhibitor as possible multiple myeloma treatment
La Jolla, CA and Norwalk, CT — November 30, 2010
Intellikine, a leader in the development of small molecule drugs targeting the PI3K/mTOR pathway, and the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC) today announced the initiation of a phase I trial of INK128, a novel, orally-available small molecule kinase inhibitor of the TORC1 and TORC2 complexes, in patients with multiple myeloma.
Intellikine received a $1 million Biotech Investment Award (BIA) in December 2009 from the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), an affiliate organization of the MMRC. The award supported both the pre-clinical development of INK128, as well as helped move it forward into clinical trials as a potential treatment for multiple myeloma.
"The scientific rationale and pre-clinical data for INK128 as a treatment for multiple myeloma is extremely strong," said Pamela M. Klein M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Intellikine. "This is an important step along the development path for INK128 and we hope this drug may benefit patients one day."
The phase I trial is a dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single agent INK128 in multiple myeloma. The trial will be initiated exclusively at MMRC sites, including Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA; University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA; Washington University, St Louis, MO; and Hackensack University Medical Center, Hackensack, NJ.
"We are very excited to work with Intellikine to accelerate the development of INK128," said Kathy Giusti, Founder and CEO of the MMRF and MMRC. "The rapid startup of this trial is a testament to Intellikine and the MMRC, and the value of industry partnerships, which are critical to our strategy of moving promising new treatments to myeloma patients faster." The mTOR kinase represents a central node in human cancer biology and has become an important target for oncology drug development. Unlike other drugs targeting the pathway, INK128 directly inhibits the activity of both the TORC1 and TORC2 complexes, key components of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway in multiple myeloma. By inhibiting both TORC1 and TORC2, INK128 more potently inhibits mTOR kinase and may provide for greater efficacy.
Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that originates in plasma cells. It is the most common type of white blood cell cancer and the second most common blood cancer. In 2010, more than 20,000 adults in the United States will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma and nearly 11,000 people are predicted to die from the disease.
About Intellikine
Intellikine is a private, clinical-stage company focused on the discovery and development of innovative small molecule drugs targeting the PI3K/mTOR pathway. Intellikine's most advanced program, INK128, a selective TORC1/2 inhibitor for the treatment of cancer, is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors. Intellikine is also advancing a PI3Kalpha-isoform-selective inhibitor, INK1117, which is currently being prepared for human clinical trials in cancer. Both INK128 and INK1117 are wholly-owned by Intellikine. In addition, Intellikine entered into a $489 million collaborative partnership with Infinity Pharmaceuticals July 2010 to develop oral therapies targeting PIK3Kd and PI3Kg for indications including immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and cancer. Among these inhibitors is IPI145 (formerly INK1197), an orally available dual-active PI3Kd/g inhibitor for which clinical development is expected to commence in 2011. For more information, please visit the company's website at www.intellikine.com.
About the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC)
The Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC) is a 509(a)3 non-profit organization which integrates leading academic institutions to accelerate drug development in multiple myeloma. It is led from MMRC offices in Norwalk, Conn., and comprises 13 member institutions: University of California, San Francisco, City of Hope, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute, the Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, Mayo Clinic, Ohio State University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, University Health Network (Princess Margaret Hospital), University of Chicago, University of Michigan, and Washington University.
The MMRC was founded in 2004 by Kathy Giusti, a myeloma patient, and with the help of the scientific community. The MMRC is an affiliate organization of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), the world's leading funder of multiple myeloma research. The MMRC is widely recognized as an optimal research model to rapidly address critical challenges in drug development and to explore opportunities in the today's most promising research areas–genomics, compound validation, and clinical trials. The MMRC is the only consortium to join academic institutions through membership agreements, customized IT systems, and an integrated tissue bank. For more information, please visit: www.themmrc.org.
About the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF)
The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) was established in 1998 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization by twin sisters Karen Andrews and Kathy Giusti, soon after Kathy's diagnosis with multiple myeloma. The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means that accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of patients and lead to a cure. As the world's number-one private funder of multiple myeloma research, the MMRF has raised over $150 million since its inception to fund nearly 120 laboratories worldwide, including 40 new compounds and approaches in clinical trials and pre-clinical studies and has facilitated 27 clinical trials through its affiliate organization, the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC). As exceptional stewards of its donor's investments, the MMRF consistently surpasses its peers in fiscal responsibility. For more information about the MMRF, please visit: www.themmrf.org.

Lia Shetler is resigned to being a spinster. She's too tall and sturdy to ever be marriageable–so says her overbearing dat. Instead, she's helping her pretty, spoiled sister Rachel secure the perfect husband–the Helmuth's grandson, Moses Zimmerman. But the more Lia sees of Moses's gently teasing ways and quiet understanding, the more she wishes he could be hers alone.
Moses knew his grandparents couldn't resist trying to find him a wife. But he never expected it would be the graceful, sensible Lia–a woman who is tall enough to look him in the eye and honest enough to make him question a promise holding him to his past. Now both will need the kind of miracles only faith and courage can bring to finally reach for a lifetime of happiness.
4 1/2 Stars from Romantic Times Book Reviews: "Beckstrand has written a sweet romance with a lot of heart that offers a new, refreshing take on the overused matchmaking trope. The storyline is feasible, the characters are well written, with both their strengths and weaknesses on display. Readers will treasure this series and put the first outing on their keeper shelf."
"I fell in love with this book." Mercedes Cordero, The Christian Manifesto
"A delightful cast of characters in a story that overflows with Amish love and laughter." Charlotte Hubbard, author of Autumn Winds
Cautious to a fault, Lily Eicher strives to live up to her dat's high standards. She's certainly not the kind of proper Amish girl who would make time for someone as impetuous as the Helmuths' grandson, Aden–even if his lively spirit and caring ways are showing her just how wonderful following her heart can be. . .
Recklessly doing the right thing got Aden into big trouble. A fresh start at his grandparents' is just what he needs. And shy, pretty Lily is turning his world upside down and making him want to prove he can do good within the rules. But now both must find enough faith and understanding to risk pursuing their dreams–together. . .
"The next installment of the Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series will hook readers with its love story, its sticky situations and a grandmother who only wants happiness for her grandchildren. Beckstrand brings new life to the age-old occupation of matchmaking." 4 1/2 Stars and a "Top Pick" selection from Romantic Times Book Reviews
Young widow Beth Hostetler has come to Huckleberry Hill to start afresh and make her own way without the interference of her late husband's family. In addition to a feisty toddler, Beth has dresses to sew, cows to milk, and great-grandparents to care for. She doesn't have the time or the inclination to entertain thoughts of a husband, even if every widower and bachelor in Wisconsin seeks her hand. Her first marriage to a harsh, demanding man was hard enough. She is perfectly happy being alone, not answering to anyone but God. Tyler Yoder is no different than the rest. With his infuriating sense of duty, he sees Beth as a woman in need of rescuing. His offer of marriage doesn't tempt her in the least, but his handsome face and kind heart just might. Will this be the Christmas that she finally finds love?
After having been burned by love once, Tyler Yoder has given up on the whole idea of romance. He simply wants a godly wife with whom he can share companionship and the load of daily living. Beth Hostetler comes along at just the right time. She's a hard worker, an excellent mother, and a beauty, to boot. And, with a son to raise, she needs a man's protection. But when Beth spurns Tyler's marriage proposal and offers to help him find a proper Amish wife, Tyler realizes where his affections really lie. Will he be able to convince Beth that love is at the heart of his persistence? And will she accept his heart for Christmas?

Dottie has her reasons, but Anna trusts that the spirit of Christmas—and true love-will change her mind, and her future …
Ever since the Helmuths' grandson, Ben, abruptly broke his engagement and moved to Florida, Emma Nelson has kept busy tending her vegetable garden and raising award-winning pumpkins. She can put her heartache aside to help Ben's mammi with her own pumpkin patch. At least until Ben shows up to lend support to his ailing dawdi…
Gardening side by side with pretty, nurturing Emma is a sweet kind of torture for Ben. She could have her pick of suitors who can offer what he can't, and he cares too much to burden her with his secret. Leaving once more is the only option. Yet Emma's courage is daring him to accept the grace that flourishes here, and the love that has been calling him back to Huckleberry Hill.
Coming February 2015!

Miriam Bontrager has loved Ephraim Neuenschwander for as long as she can remember. As young teenagers they make a secret pact to wed when they come of age. But when Miriam's headstrong brother is arrested and her sister is discovered with child, Ephraim decides that Miriam, with her disgraced family ties, is not worthy of him. Heartbroken and shattered, Miriam vows to never again trust her affection to anyone. But will she surrender her heart when a man of simple faith and gentle ways shows her how to love again?

Spending time with Seth's horses gives Miriam comfort and helps her mend, but her presence nudges Seth dangerously close to falling in love. Unable to ignore the way she tugs at his heart, will he risk everything to show her that there is more to love than the pain of bitter memories?
Miriam's Quilt features well-rounded characters who are strong in their faith, even at times when it is sorely tested. Beckstrand's third Forever After in Apple Creek book contains well-researched details about the Amish way of life." 4-Star Book Review, Romantic Times

Whenever they play music from America's Colonial period, the Central York Fife and Drum Corps is continuing a tradition of its own. Following in the footsteps of decades of alumni, these seventh and eighth graders continue to honor and preserve the music associated with the time of our founding fathers and those who fought for our nation's independence.
CYMS Music Director, Richard Worley, says such a young school-based fife and drum corps is a rarity. His biggest challenge is maintaining the band's sharpness and sound when half the band moves on to high school every year. He credits the eight graders with guiding the underclassmen..
"I depend on them to be leaders," said Worley. " I depend on them to set the example and to really teach the 7th graders what the corps is all about."
And, it appears that the historical significance of what and who the corps represents is not lost on these young performers
"It's very cool to know that maybe some of our ancestors played these songs," said drum major Mason DeMers. "And now we're doing it. Repeating it," he added.
The corps was created in 1971 by the school's long time music director Kenneth Matthews who intended only to keep the band together through the 1976 Bicentennial. But the kids loved it, and so did the community. And, ever since then, the corps has become a mainstay at parades, veterans ceremonies and special venues throughout the midstate and at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. Many of today's band members are second generation players in the band, with several alumni returning to the school last year to play as part of a 40th anniversary concert.

"Parenthood" (March 1, at 9 p.m. on NBC)
Loosely based on the 1989 Ron Howard film of the same name, "Parenthood" finally gets a premiere after a false start earlier in the season because of star Maura Tierney's breast cancer treatments. Tierney has since been replaced by Lauren Graham ... more, who joins an excellent roster of supporting players including Peter Krause, Craig T. Nelson and Erika Christensen. The series follows the extended Braverman family and is actually the second TV adaptation of the film, the first version being notable for featuring a number of then-unknowns who later achieved fame, including Leonardo DiCaprio, David Arquette and Thora Birch, with a pilot written by Joss Whedon.

Becker Avionics is at Heli-Expo 2010 featuring its newly introduced personal locator beacon (PLB) offering multiple VHF/UHF emergency band operation. The MR510 enables two- way VHF or UHF communication and can operate on the civil emergency frequency, 121.5 MHz, as well as military guard (243.0) and the new 406 MHz search-and-rescue channel. It also includes in a compact, self-contained package, a 12-channel GPS.
ew 406-MHz personal locator beacon (PLB) aimed at military and public-service users. It is to be available in the second half of this year. Designed for the professional market, the MR 510 is housed in a rugged metal casing. It features manual or automatic actuation via water immersion or lanyard connected to the ejection seat.
As part of the FAA's Nexcom initiative to develop next-generation digital datalink radios for general aviation, Avidyne last month announced it has successfully demonstrated a VHF datalink (VDL) Mode 3 radio at the FAA's technical center in Atlantic City, N.J. Touted as the first-ever test of a commercial VDL-3 device, the demonstration was an important milestone for the FAA as it strives to create a radio network for the 21st century.
The FAA has awarded contracts to Rockwell Collins, Honeywell and Avidyne for development of technology that will integrate digital voice and data into air-to-ground communications as part of the next-generation air/ground communications (Nexcom) program.
The FAA has awarded an initial $20.5 million contract to ITT Industries aerospace/communications division to provide the agency with multimode VHF digital air-to-ground radios as part of its next-generation air/ground communications system (Nexcom). If all options are exercised, it could be worth as much as $580 million.

For the benefit of a (former) whisky-swilling mad pilot…what the hell's a corkage fee? Judging from the context above, it would appear that some/perhaps many choose to bring their personal hooch into their favorite eatery, thus incuring the "cost" of cork removal…am I right? Hells bells! Back in the dark ages, we would brownbag Mr James Beam and Jack Dan into the Enterpriser (remember that, young helo drivers of 60s Rucker days!?) restaurant. Hownhell we ever survived those days remains the big mystery of the century.

The book first came to my attention when I read some months ago on Tumblr that Tim Hetherington, a photojournalist, had died.
He was with Sebastian Junger (whom I've heard of from elsewhere) throughout the book and helped film the award winning war documentary Restrepo (which I'll be watching tonight). Maybe it was my brother that told me about Junger, I now remember him saying he had a guy in his Company that was in Restrepo.
Anyways, a good read, Junger's main goal was to write about how soldiers actually felt in battle as opposed to thoughts and mindless interviews. I feel the need to point out that Junger and Hetherington also stayed with Battle Company for the entirety of the 15 month deployment with normal leave at a remote Afghan outpost.
Concerning what I thought was extremely unique, from the book's blurb,
Junger draws on biology, psychology, and military history to explain the decisions they make and put thei ordeals into context.
Give it a try if you're into the genre.
Rest in Peace Tim Hetherington

WTO: UAE economy grows by 6% per year on average
The UAE's generally liberal and increasingly diversified economy, the importance of trade for its economic performance, its relatively low border barriers to trade, and its growing economic power make it an increasingly important supporter of the multilateral trading system, according to a report on the trade policies and practices of the UAE by the WTO Secretariat.
The economy has grown by 6% per year on average over the past decade and 9% in 2003-2005, although, despite some diversification, the UAE still depends on crude oil and gas exports for a significant share of its national income. But internal barriers to trade, resulting largely from the absence of a competition policy, institutional weaknesses, and restrictions on foreign participation in the economy, are impediments to doing business in the UAE and are hindering the diversification into services, a sector that is rapidly becoming a strategic priority.
The report says that structural reforms, including the abolition of the restrictive Trade Agency Law, the adoption of competition legislation, and further liberalization of and multilateral commitments in the services sector, would improve resource allocation and the UAE's economic performance.

Enjoy the ride with clean energy.
The BMW Hydrogen 7 was the world's first hydrogen-drive luxury sedan for everyday use. The vehicle was developed under serial-production conditions and has proven the suitability of the concept using a bivalent internal combustion engine drive in daily use. The engine, chassis and body of the BMW Hydrogen 7 are based on the latest generation of the BMW 760Li sedan. The BMW Hydrogen 7's twelve-cylinder engine has an output of 1919kW / 260 hp. Its top speed is electronically limited to 230 kmh. The BMW Hydrogen 7 can run on both hydrogen and petrol, and therefore has a bivalent engine concept. With a full tank of 8kg of cryogenic liquid hydrogen, it has a range of about 200 kilometres. With a full tank (74 litres) of petrol the Hydrogen 7's range is extended by another 500 kilometres. As the building of a successor fleet based on the technology tested to date is not expected to yield any major new findings, research and development is currently focusing on further developing the core components of hydrogen technology (drive solutions with an internal combustion or fuel-cell engine, hydrogen storage) with regard to cost, durability and size.
BMW has done research on hydrogen engines since the 1980s.
In the early 1980's, the BMW group was already researching the possibility of engines and vehicles powered by liquid hydrogen. The construction and testing of various prototypes culminated in the year 2000 with a decisive advancement, when BMW unveiled, in Berlin, the world's first short-run production hydrogen-powered vehicle: the 750hL. Fifteen of these vehicles were subsequently placed in public service as shuttles at the "Expo 2000" World Exposition in Hanover.
BMW achieved a quantum leap forward in the advancement of hydrogen technology in 2004 with the record-setting vehicle BMW H2R. The prototype set nine of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) certified international records for hydrogen-powered vehicles with combustion engines. These successes were attained after just ten months of development, as the design engineers were able to use hydrogen components from during the BMW Hydrogen 7 development process.
The campaign for hydrogen.
The BMW Group is a founding member of the "Verkehrswirtschaftliche Energiestrategie" (Energy Strategy for the Transport Economy – VES), which was launched in 1998, supported by the German federal government. Using a large-scale scientific study of the properties and potential of various alternative fuels, the VES came to the conclusion that using hydrogen as an energy carrier is one of the most sustainable long-term solutions for environmentally friendly car usage. To promote the actual use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel, the BMW Group has been involved in the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) since it was founded in 2002. The aim of this commitment is to further develop the technology necessary to use hydrogen as an energy store.

These three novels have been adapted into a successful BBC TV series starring Jason Isaacs. Jackson Brodie made a welcome return in her latest novel, Started Early, Took My Dog. Kate won the Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year prize for her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum, and has been a critically acclaimed international bestselling author ever since. She was appointed MBE in the 2011 Queen's Birthday Honours List.

Break on through to the other side... of the No Spectators campaign and the Learning Breakthrough Series! There are only 4 days left in IDEA's No Spectators fundraising campaign, and we need your donation now more than ever. So far we've raised about 50% of our $65,000 goal. We know we can get this number higher, but we're going to need your support. That's why we're giving you the details now on one of our biggest projects yet, and how your donations directly support the Learning Breakthrough Series.
The Learning Breakthrough Series is one way IDEA supports local power while generating knowledge and connections for the national movement towards more meaningful and relevant education. Over the course of two years, teams of educators, youth, and community and policy leaders from distinct communities are learning alongside each other about transforming and sustaining meaningful change in today's educational climate. The series concludes with a public summit where teams share their findings and discuss implications with a broad audience of educators, policy-makers, and the media.
Our first Learning Session was held in Jackson, MS in November, where teams of organizers from New York, Vermont, Oregon, Puerto Rico, New England, Jackson, MS, and Minnesota attended. Teams were able to take a deep-dive on education issues in their communities and support each other with "provocation rounds" to understand more clearly the ways they can contribute back home and nationally. Our community dinner welcomed mayoral office representatives, college and university students, and community members - check out this short highlight video from Wellington August. We established connection to and ways IDEA can collaborate with the 50th Anniversary of Freedom Summer. Some of the most powerful learning came from the honor and privilege of visiting the COFO Civil Rights Education Center where we all came face-to-face with history, stories, and songs of the Civil Rights Movement from...
It's January 6, 2014 - my first official day in the office at the Tougaloo College Owens Health and Wellness Center. I'm seated at my desk reflecting on what happened towards the end of 2013 as my colleagues greet each other with a "happy new year" and "how was your time off?" I think about how I should answer the question, but I really didn't have any time off. I was busy writing, DJing, re-writing, thinking, designing, planning and driving - so I respond "happy new year" and "it was good."
There were a few things I thought about most, my fiancée and our unborn child, the future of Tougaloo College, the small changes in the educational landscape of Jackson, Mississippi and how I fit into all of this. For my future wife and child, I have to be a husband and father concerned with the overall well being of my family. Currently, overall well being translates into get us out of a third floor apartment, obtain an affordable home in a safe neighborhood and maintain a steady income to support it all. As a Tougaloo College graduate and employee, I'm concerned with how to increase alumni support and student enrollment. As the Storyteller for the IDEA Jackson place based team, my interest is piqued by the small changes to educational landscape of Jackson, Mississippi and what these changes mean and why they mean so much.
In the very near future, I'll be searching for a pre-school and elementary school where my little student can explore his/her own individuality and develop socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually. As well as the students of this educational landscape could potentially enroll at Tougaloo College (which would alleviate one of my concerns). I'm sure that it will all work out because I'm working with the "Super Friends in the Legion of Cool!"

I'm a change junkie. I have all the signs of a kind of joyful addiction that should temper this post and put extra attention on the word junkie.
It's been an interesting few weeks of provocation within my inbox and FB as I've learned more about changes in how work gets done and noodle on what that offers IDEA, and what it signals for any place where people are trying to learn or do interesting stuff together, including those places called school (shout out to John Goodlad).
This article prompted another round of sharing (and my first time seeing) this Netflix "stack," which is what all the hip kids call a powerpoint these days.
A few days prior, I learned via Facebook that Zappos, a company I find fascinating to learn from, welcomed everyone but their managers into 2014 as they embrace Holacracy with the likes of management and GTD guru, David Allen.
And a month ago, I began a crash course in learning about Agile, starting with the manifesto and moving onto various implementation efforts, like Scrum.
Taken together, I do feel a bit like Dorothy and company as they go from being scared to singing "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My."
My very fast googling suggests some folks have been playing with crossovers in education for a few years AND, of course, many of these innovations have roots in the learning of many educators, philosophers, and teachers.
What I find most fascinating is that big companies are taking courageous risks to do work differently. And doing work differently is all about learning and adaptation.
Clearly schools are far more complex than selling shoes, streaming videos, or developing software code. But I can't help but imagine a future where schools are dynamic centers of community that borrowed heavily on these kinds of dynamic and deeply democratic structures.
IDEA MN History
In December of 2012, the first meeting of our group took place in the living room of Ofir Germanic (IDEA MN Senior Fellow). Our first, official Salon ("an assembly of guests in such a room, especially an assembly, common during the 17th and 18th centuries, consisting of the leaders in society, art, politics, etc" - Dictionary.com) took place on January 2013 at the Rice Lake Teen Zone. This is a place where youth in St. Paul came to engage in building a community together. Minnesota has long been a place where youth work is vitally important, yet schools and youth centers don't seem to be connected. We have a core group of members who are strongly connected. The efforts of IDEA MNer's Steven Grande, Sarah Olson, Cari-Ana Garcia Luna, and Jerilyn Ezaki, along with many others helped get our group off the ground. We have grown organically since then and will continue to grow. This fellowship has many of us spending time connecting with each other outside of the time we hold Salons. We have found that our work with youth intersects in ways that we never imagined when we first got started.
In Minnesota, we tend to think we are "above average" compared to the rest of nation. This is especially true when it comes to education. It may be "flyover country" to people on the East Coast and West Coast, but Minnesota has long been a hot bed for rebel education initiatives, some of which include:
Open Enrollment - allowing students to attend a school of their choice, rather than based solely on their geographic location
Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) - allows students in high school to take college classes and receive dual credit (high school & college), free of charge
Charter Schools - charter school legislation was approved in 1991. City Academy (St. Paul) being the first charter in the nation to open.
Teacher Professional Practice (TPP) - an idea dreamed up by Education Evolving's Ted Kolderie...
Her story has gone viral.
On January 6th Anthony Cody published Darcy Bedortha's personal account of working for a K12 Inc virtual charter school on his popular EdWeek Living in Dialogue blog, where it's been tweeted over 200 times. Then the next day Diane Ravitch shared about it on her widely-read blog, where it's spurred 75 comments and reactions. And then Ken Bernstein, otherwise known as Teacherken, posted today about her story on DailyKos, where it's been recommended nearly 200 times with over 80 comments.
I'm so glad that Darcy's story is getting this kind of attention. Those of us within IDEA, where Darcy has been an organizer for over two years, know how beautiful her heart is and how strong she's had to be to go through the challenges of the past 15 months while giving all she could to her students. Darcy is a gifted educator with deep insight into the needs of young people and the societal realities that act as barriers to meeting the needs of youth.
Just a few of the points Darcy makes:
But even more powerful than these stats is Darcy's personal story. Here is a snippet:
I was an English teacher, so my students would write. They wrote of pain and fear and of not fitting in. They were the kinds of young people who desperately needed to have the protective circle of a community watching over them. They needed one healthy person to smile at them and recognize them by name every day, to say "I'm glad you're here!" Many of my former students do not have that.
The last thing these young people needed, I...
"How might education come to life if children were to possess a burning need to know?"
Nearly 8 minutes of pretty outstanding information, insight, creativity, hope, vision.... The film gives a provocative frame for thinking about how we reimagine education.
What does learning with like-minded or like-visioned learners look like? Learning with someone else who shares your interests is sure to create more sparks in the learning than with folks who could care less about what's being learned. Right?
Check the original website here. No matter where you view it, it'll keep your attention.
"Our core question is, "What's the experience we want kids to have." So the core question is around engagement, and as soon as you start with "Is the kid engaged? What is the learning experience we want the kid to have?" then you have to pay attention to the kid.
But how do you create a need to know in a kid? That's an emotional question. That's an intellectual question. That's an identify question. And when you start designing learning experiences around that, then getting to the content and getting kids to engage in core questions related to academic core… that's actually the easy part."
I think it's cool when people got something to say. Share what you got in the comments here.
It's New Year's Eve's Eve, and we simply can't resist the temptation to write to you and the rest of our amazing network to share some love and well wishes! We hope that your holidays in 2013 have been and are still the best, and that you're looking forward to 2014 as much as we are!
If you're looking to make a year-end contribution, we'd love your support towards our #NoSpectators campaign. Check out our funny new meme below. And if you're not looking to make some year-end gifts, no worries. It's most important that you have a lovely New Year celebration and that your holidays have been a good time.

As IDEA Boricua's Storyteller, I'm super excited to be writing this piece for the IDEA Blog. It feels a little surreal to be writing about the work our place-based team is involved in in Puerto Rico, because the fact is that there's so much incredible work going on here to strengthen, build, and support communities toward meaningful learning, rooted in values of love and democracy.
My original plan for this piece was to zone in on one of IDEA Boricua's current efforts. However, it occurred to me that everything we are up to is important, and in an early stage. That said I'm using this blog to help get anyone reading up to speed on everything we're up to. It won't be extensive, and I won't take any deep dives on any one effort. As IDEA Boricua grows as a place-based team, we will be documenting our progress via IDEA's Blog, and so each effort will become unpacked as the new year unfolds.
What you'll find below is a list of all of IDEA Boricua's current activities. It all came together after spending time strategizing, organizing, connecting, and strengthening relationships between our own team-members and other organizing teams from around the U.S. at IDEA's Learning Session A in Jackson, Mississippi - a part of IDEA's Learning Breakthrough Series.
Important note: There are many incredible humans doing tremendous work in Puerto Rico for the betterment of education, community development, Puerto Rican empowerment, and more. IDEA Boricua welcomes these change-makers as part of our team, and celebrates any and all collaboration. Our two overarching objectives are Capacity Building, on and off the island, and Impacting the Narrative, nationally in Puerto Rico and internationally.
IDEA Boricua's Activity
IDEA Boricua is designing and hosting dialogues that bring together future teachers (current education-majors) from different higher-learning institutions around Puerto Rico. The goal is to influence their thinking in a way that promotes meaningful...

text: What is a negative space? A spare room, a backlogged, forgotten, half-past yesterday, an outside of a paradigm, a mean word. It is the opposite of the paint colored lemon curd, or even that soothing gray with the even bump of newly paved road to San Fransisco, or Hawaii wanting to leave but nulled by a vacuous spare, trapped in forever blue. It is the no. Empathic. Repetitive. Exhausting whatever is left between two close walls in a small city out of nowhere in the middle of midwest, in wetlands, or tundras. It is the closed, locked, untouched door with a missing knob which no one cared to look for or fit something else in to. Because the answer is not that same shade where sunny days are born. Because it is not what you expect but continually presents itself like it is quo. But it is not. It is not. No, it is not.

What's your opinion on Unconditional Basic Income? (This is not Communism)
The Basic Income movement is one that is quickly gaining ground around the world. Both prominent right and left wing persons have given their support for this idea.
What's your thoughts on Basic Income, do you think it's a good idea?
EDIT: I forgot to mention (in case you haven't heard) that what sprout the movement was Switzerland's proposal for basic income ($2800 monthly). http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/04/us-swiss-pay-idUSBRE9930O620131004
EDIT 2: This is NOT meant as a universal cure for all the problems of the world, things like education, politics, corruption and deceases are separate issues (even though Basic Income might help with them) if you wish to solve those issues please join or start a conversation about those. However discussing them with respect of BI is very fine and encouraged.
Please try to NOT sway too far from the topic, which is "What's your opinion on Unconditional Basic Income?". Comments to others opinions are of course free to go far from the topic, but preferably not too far.
And please try to be constructive and mature in your comments to others on this conversation.
Also please read AT LEAST the provided Wikipedia article on Basic income as it will answer many questions posted here.
Thank you for reading this explanation...(?)
Closing Statement from Jimmy Strobl
Wow, thank you ALL for your contributions to this conversation!
There's no way that I'm going to be able to summarize what was said here.
But I do feel that people might be ready for this transition or at least they are able to be convinced that it is feasible.
Anyway, thank you all for your participation and sorry for the lack of response the last few days.

OccuPaws Guide Dog Association
OccuPaws Guide Dog Association
The Mission of the OccuPaws Guide Dog Association is to provide Guide Dogs at no cost to Wisconsin and surrounding states residents who are blind or visually impaired. Our custom training sessions take place in the comfort of the client's home environment as opposed to a guide dog school that may be far away from home. We believe that legitimate, personal circumstances (family obligations, professional commitments or secondary health conditions) should not prevent an otherwise capable individual with a qualifying visual impairment from enjoying the companionship and assistance a canine guide can offer. Each completely trained dog and person is carefully matched according to such traits as lifestyle, personality, activity level, and walking speed.
In addition to harness work and obedience commands, our Certified Guide Dog Mobility Instructor teaches each client about the learning style of their particular guide dog, various aspects of canine behavior, and about the innate characteristics of their guide dog's breed. By the end of each custom in-home placement, the client will have learned how to teach their guide dog new skills, and how to work with and care for their canine visual partner throughout the entirety of its career.
One of our Guide Dog recipients says:
"There is no greater feeling than knowing I can now independently travel anywhere as my 'guide' will ensure I get there safely. I look forward to climbing to the top of any mountain life puts in my way as I know the journey will be safe and with my best friend,…"

Hometown: West Baltimore
Founded in: 2002
Influenced by: Jay-Z, Nas and Notorious B.I.G.
Notable: Muldrow was featured on a WERQ 92Q radio show as a contestant in 2002. After winning three consecutive battles, he was retired from the show. His sister, Nakeya "Nik Stylz" Muldrow, was the reigning female champion at the time.
Muldrow's first album, The Leak, recorded by his label Major League Unlimited, will be released Dec. 14 and features notables the Clipse of Star Trek Entertainment and Freeway of Rocafella Records.
Gregory "Bless" Veney, who along with Muldrow is a featured artist at the Royal Dec. 2, appears on two singles in The Leak. "He is abstract, in-depth, extremely original and has his own unique slang," Muldrow says of Veney, who co-owns Imperial Records. "The more you hear him, the more you understand him," he added.
Mullymania, Muldrow's sophomore album, is expected to be released this summer.
Quotable: "The Leak suggests that you're receiving something before you're supposed to get it, before the album is in stores," said Muldrow, whose childhood nickname "Mullyman" stems from his last name. "I don't carry a signature Baltimore sound; I carry a signature Mully sound," he said.
