Involuntary unemployment and non-compensating wage differentials in an experimental labour market
AbstractIn this paper, the authors report the results of a series of efficiency wage experiments. Some of the key predictions of the efficiency wage hypothesis are qualitatively confirmed by the data: higher wages caused a reduction in shirking; firms offered contracts which exhibited positive job rents; firms offered systematically different wages and job rents which gave rise to noncompensating income differentials; and endogenous involuntary unemployment occurred.

|Vibration-Free Islands
Vibration-Free Islands offer an economical control method for applications where equipment needs to be isolated from surrounding raised flooring and building vibrations. Since 1979, KSI has produced systems for use with raised cleanroom floors from 1' to 6' high. They provide an excellent alternative to poured in place isolation pads, and can be relocated in the future to reconfigure rooms. Today, we manufacture the most advanced sub-floor vibration isolation system. By adapting the BaseMate (9300 Series) Pendulum Platform for installation in the return air plenum beneath the deck, weve designed a system for cleanroom space economy. We recommend that the BaseMate Vibration-Free Island be used to maximize isolation of sensitive electro-optic systems from vibration caused by footfall traffic and air handling equipment on raised decks. Dimensional drawings and technical assistance for Vibration-Free Islands are available and can be obtained from our sales engineering department. KSI will design a system to match your equipment.
BaseMate Rigid Supports
In those cases when a nonisolated support system is required, KSI offers two types of highly damped rigid supports to accommodate your load requirements up to 5000 lbs per leg.

Game 3 Pitching Matchup
Your pitching projections for the evening:
Rich Harden: 3.25 ERA, 6 IP
Hideki Kuroda: 4.25 ERA, 7 IP
We'll look at the revised lineup later tonight.
UPDATED: Cubs odds of winning tonight: .529. Pitching matchup really favors the Cubs for the first time, but the Dodgers have home field. Putting in Fontenot didn't really move the needle any; the difference between two individual hitters in just one game isn't all that great, unless you're talking about the difference between Tony Pena and Albert Pujols.

If it were wireless it could be more then one player games
The NEW actual gaming platform
I think this is pointless. If I want to play on a controller then I'll just play on my Xbox 360. This is just my opinion but I don't think this will sell as many units as the other bluetooth game pads already available.
Hopefully it will support Pac-Man, DigDug, and Burger Time in the future.
People can have their own opinions, And what he said is true. Android has has this compatibility for a while.
Pretty cool but... why not make PS3 controllers usable via bluetooth control and wireless. That would be very cool!
thats pretty bad *** i think ill get one as soon as more games become compatible with it, as for now it is not feasible for me.
I thought about a controller for iPhone and iPod touch but something that you mount your device on it and it makes it looks like a PSP or Nintendo DS, but it's only an idea I have no resources to start this project
WHAT ABOUT THE MODERN COMBAT SERIES?!?!? THIS WOULD BE AMAZING IF IT WAS COMPATIBLE WITH MC1, 2, and 3!!!
lol dude u can love apples phone an hate apple i do it everyday they are so controlling man its annoying just my opinion and prolly gonna take a lot of heat for this but i am sick of hearing about steve jobs dying geez ppl die everyday and at the end of the day its just a phone man just saying
I want to know how this thing works... I'm gonna make a guess that each button is a different frequency sound and when pressed, it sends the sound to the mic input and the game recognizes it as a button press. If someone could record the sounds from the controller, anyone would be able to make one of these.
If thats how it works, I'd have to say it's pretty ingenious.
[QUOTE=luvmytj;6349320]Pretty cool but... why not make PS3 controllers usable via bluetooth control and wireless. That would be very cool!
Been begging for this for a while. You could still use your headphones and charger while gaming. The games would be seriously limited in terms of AI, but could be 100x more challenging and fun. Especially 2D Fighters.

The Women's Economic Agenda Project (WEAP) is committed to attaining economic human rights for all people. In a land of abundance, there is no reason anyone's basic human needs should not be met. WEAP is diligently working to organize the poor, low-income workers, and unemployed into a movement to achieve a vision of a world without poverty and despair, a world that Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of in his Poor People's Campaign of 1968.
Maureen Taylor, State Chair of MWRO, speaks at Netroots Nation panel on 'Fighting for Democracy After Emergency Manager Takeovers in Michigan.' She discusses the national narrative going on to depict Detroit residents in a way that makes it easier to blame them for poverty, and makes it easier to agree that they should not have water and other essentials for life.

I'm a little worried about Belle.She's three years old and other than a couple of dentals has always been in really good health up until recently. She has recently been losing a little weight and the vet put that down to her recent need for a dental. The thing that is really worrying me in the fact that she seems to be struggling to control her bladder. I thought she was just getting a little lazy with the litter tray but over the last couple of weeks when you go to pick her up she wees everywhere. There are little pools of wee all around her enclosure and I;m starting to think there could be a problem. Also, she seems to be a little 'lower' around her back end. She is using her back legs but her back end just seems to be closer to the floor and when she moves, it's like it heavy if you know what I mean. Her tail is beginning to become stained because of her weeing and I'm starting to think that she is struggling to life her tail.
She was myxi'ed last monday and I mentioned these issues to the vet who recommended a 9 day course of Panacur which she is now 7 days into.
Her and her bonded fella are about to move outside in their new outdoor enclosure this week but i'm unsure what to do.
Do you think it would be worth taking her back to the vets and asking for bloods? Any thoughts/help/advice/possible diagnosis's would be really appreciated.

So you're not in a Guild pro enough to kill Ragnaros? Well, fret not! There's more of him you know...
Today I ventured back into the first raid instance in the game, the good old Molten Core. My goal was to work on my Hydraxian Waterlords reputation, as well as maybe get some of the remaining pieces of my Cenarion Raiment. With patch 4.3 and transmogrification coming ever closer, I feel it's only fitting to have a good set of proper garments to choose from!
I went for a simple boss run, where the goal was to kill only the bosses, and the few trash mobs it was simpler to go through than around. I started at 12:35 CEST, and even though I managed to nerf my DPS by obtaining the 15 minute Ancient Dread debuff I still managed to finish the run at 13:15 CEST, roughly 40 minutes after I started.
Even if you got all the loot and reputation you could ever want from Molten Core, this is not a bad way to spend 40 minutes a week. It's fast and easy gold, and can be easily soloed by pretty much every level 85 character in any gear of rare quality or higher.
There is some RNG involved when it comes to the drops, but I get rare recipies more often than not. I don't think I've ever walked away with less than a 1000g in my pockets. And you could always farm the trash mobs for tons of greenies to disenchant, and chances of BoE epics. I, however, chose to do a (close to) pure boss run.
What I got:
Sulfuron Ingot 500g
Recipe: Major Rejuvenation Potion 300g
Lava Core (x2) 5g
Fiery Core (x2) 7g
Large Brilliant Shard (x2) 40g
Greater Eternal Essence (x3) 90g
Illusion Dust (x4) 40g
Essence of Fire (x19) 11g
Essence of Earth (x7) 6g
Core of Earth (x8) 2g
Elemental Fire (x22) 1g
Heart of Fire (x15) 3g
Star Ruby 2g
Aquamarine 9g
Gold drops from bosses and mobs: 347g
Vendored epics: 104g
Time spend: 40 minutes
Total profit: 1467g
2200g per hour
And 1050 rep with the Hydraxian Waterlords, which actually brought me to Exalted, after only 6 years!
And behold, some nice new leggins too!

OMB Director Peter Orszag… on The Daily Show?
Thursday - 4/2/2009, 7:35am EDT
Yes, that's right. Last night was was watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central… and there he was — OMB Director Peter Orszag talking the budget.
While it seemed a bit… odd to see him there, Orszag is clearly a very smart guy and did a good job. I guess he went on to emphasize that the Obama administration inherited the budget issues — and Stewart is a fairly safe place to go to talk about it.
They have broken the interview into two parts. You can see part one here … and part two here.

By: David Schultz
As the ostensible frontman for the String Cheese Incident, bluegrass-loving guitarist Bill Nershi is largely responsible for bringing a certain amount of honky tonk to the Colorado based band. As part of Honkytonk Homeslice, one of the many SCI side projects, Nershi teams up with his wife, Jilian Nershi, and Scott Law. Feeding his inner folkie, he leads the group through a number of original selections whose roots stretch back to traditional Americana. While far from the Coen brothers' depiction of the Soggy Bottom Boys singing into "yonder can," Honkytonk Homeslice was recorded in a style mirroring the music's old-timey roots: everyone sat in one room with open mics so that there would be no separation between the voices and the instruments.
More homestyle than honky tonk, Honkytonk Homeslice is simply a fun, old-fashioned set of acoustic style offerings from three singer-songwriters sitting around a proverbial campfire. Rarely rowdy, the three do get bluesy on "Bear Creek Blues" and "School Bells," which features an appearance on bass by Nershi's String Cheese compadre Keith Moseley. The album centers on well-crafted harmonies and acoustic guitar arrangements, most successfully on "Shot In The Blue," but not to the point of submerging the album in excessive strumming; Law's mandolin, Bill Nershi's lap steel and Jilian's pretty, peaceful voice add color and standout on the relatively straightforward tracks. Though lacking the bluegrass or countrified vibe the title seems to promise, Honkytonk Homeslice delivers enough conventional melodies to satisfy the traditionalists and include a few modern wrinkles to please those who expect as much from any Nershi project.

Solving Sleep Problems in Your Young Child
Nighttime Waking
Begin by reviewing what you can expect from your child. Generally, a child under two sleeps eleven to twelve hours split between nighttime sleep and naps. Then ask yourself, "Is my child getting too much or too little sleep?" Either situation can be altering your child's sleep pattern.
Next, start a journal of your child's sleep patterns and the associations she makes to fall asleep. Look at these sleep associations. Is your child only falling asleep if you rock her to sleep or after an elaborate routine? If that´s the case, try simplifying the routine—one story or song and then bed. Also, limit daytime sleep to no longer than one or two sleep cycles which are approximately fifty minutes each. Your child may need to sleep in longer periods less often.
Finally, reassure her if crying is prolonged or distressed, but continue with the routine of placing her in bed awake and leaving the room. Whatever plan you have used to get her to sleep early in the evening is the same plan you should use in the middle of the night. Resist the temptation to change the middle of the night plan because you are tired. You will unfortunately be giving your child a mixed message about needing to go to sleep and stay there.
Bedtime Battles
By the time you move your child from crib to bed, you may see bedtime battles in full swing. Your child's growing independence, coupled with the lack of the physical boundary the crib provides, can make going to sleep difficult for you and your child. Sometimes, you may find that complex sleep associations have developed–the most troublesome having to do with a child not being able to fall asleep without you in the room.
Start by simplifying the routine—one story or song, then bed, and then you leave. Use the same routine each time your child goes to bed. Your child will respond to the predictability of a solid routine. If your child cries or needs reassurance, go in after two to three minutes, but don't talk—just lay her back down and leave. Then extend the length of time you wait to go in again, because your child needs time to learn to rely on herself. Be sure to make these changes to the routine when you know you can follow through, not before a vacation or if you're going out the next evening. This common sleep problem can be solved quickly as long as you are consistent and stick with your plan. Remember, keep the talking to a minimum during this bedtime battle. If you talk you are giving your child the message that going to bed is negotiable.
Of course, even the best sleep habits on your part won't guarantee success. So what do you do if sleep becomes a struggle? Start by keeping a journal of bedtime routines and your child's sleep patterns. The problem may reveal itself to you if you can observe patterns in behavior. For example, you might notice that your child falls asleep while you rock and sing to her, and you always put her to bed while she's already sleeping. If you do notice that your child always goes to bed asleep and then wakes crying for you, you may want to change your child's sleep associations and encourage her to learn to put herself to sleep.
Also, don't forget to muster the support of your pediatrician or parenting professional. Sleep issues in a young child are generally easy to correct, and the sleep patterns you establish now set the stage for sleep patterns later in childhood. Regulating sleep issues early can save you many stressful nights.

Remote Desktop [RDP] not Working..?
This applies to all versions of Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 and also to Vista and XP Professional. This problem normally occurs to our client with Dedicated Server hosting. So I thought I will create a check list to make their hosting service a bit easy.
Yes, you will need physical access to the machine to check this, it is obvious that you will not be able to check this problem unless you have remote access to the server. These steps can only be performed if you have physical access to the dedicated server or through a Keyboard-Video-Mouse [KVM]. So there we go:
* First thing that you need to check is whether the Remote Desktop Console [RDC] is enabled on your server.
Go to Desktop >> My Computer >> Properties >> Remote Tab
Check the box for "Enable Remote Desktop on this computer" and click OK.
* If the above option is enabled then make sure that the user which you are using to connect the server remotely is added in the "Remote Desktop users" group. Administrators are normally added in the group. This can be confirmed from with the steps below:
Go to Desktop >> My Computer >> Mange
Expand Local Users and Group >> Select Group.
Double click on "Remote Desktop Users" Group and make sure that the user is added in here.
* If both the above settings are correct then you need to make sure that TCP port 3389, which is the default port for RDC is enabled in the firewall of the machine that is used to RDP the server. Vise a verse make sure that the server firewall also has this port added in the exception. The best way to check this is:
First make sure that the server listens to telnet, try telnet of any other port which you are sure is working on the server like port 80 or 25. The command would be:
TELNET ip_address 25
If this works then try telnet on port 3389.
TELNET ip_address 3389
* If the telnet is not working then there are several possibilities, it can be the firewall on your machine or the firewall on the server tha is blocking the port. It can also be the case that Terminal Server Service did not start for some reasons. Or in a very rare situation it could be that the RDP port has been changed by some one. We will rectify all the possibilities one by one:
* Check the firewall on your machine or just shut the firewall down and then try the telnet again.
* If you have Windows Firewall then make sure that Remote Desktop is added in Exception.
Goto Start >> All Programs >> Control Panel >> Windows Firewall
If you have a third party firewall your dedicated server then just disable it and try the telnel option.
* If that is not the firewall issue make sure that Terminal Server Service is set to Automatic and is running. This server depends on Remote Procedure Call Service and you get errors while starting the server and you will need to trouble shoot the problem. If the server is terminating unexpectedly then make sure that the Hardware profile of the server is set to "Enable":
* Sometimes client with Windows Dedicated Hosting package change the RDP port of their server and forget it, the steps below can be used for checking the RDP port as well as changing it as well, these steps will require to make changes in Registry hence it is recommended to backup the registry before following these steps:
Goto Start >> Run

What is webmaking?
Mozilla is building a generation of webmakers. We are defining webmaker literacies. We are building pathways for people to learn webmaking by webmaking. But what the heck is webmaking? What is our vision really all about?
The initial list of webmaker skills starts to pave the way for our definition of webmaking, but I think there needs more context and nuance here. Lots of smart people are working on a more public facing brand/definition around webmaking so there's that to look forward to, but in the meantime I wanted to log my thoughts on what (I think) it is and what it isn't.
Webmaking is not just coding.
We are seeing a number of teach-to-code initiatives popping up which are certainly compelling and we hope to work closely with many of them moving forward. But when we say webmaking, I think we are talking more broadly, more at the literacy level. Our ultimate webmaker curriculum suite will have coding in it in some capacity (or again, we'll point people to all the great stuff emerging), but it will have a much broader set of skills as well. Even just glancing back at the current iteration of the webmaker skills, we can see some of the foundations of coding in the Building column (and some HTML-y stuff in one chunk of Authoring) - but there are 4 OTHER COLUMNS! Even with this 101 content, we are aiming at higher level competencies and literacies that people can use to shape their pathway forward, not dictate one path for them to go down. If they decide to be coders - great! - but they will hopefully be better coders because of the full range of skills they've developed and honed along the way.
(NOTE: MichelleL dives further this as well on her blog)
Webmaking is not a static thing.
Webmaking is made up of a set of hard skills like HTML, CSS, etc., but a host of 'softer' skills like collaborative making, awareness of the open web, etc. The softer skills, as evidenced by the controversial category name, are fluid and personal. We know they are not static. But with webmaking, even the hard skills are not static. Things evolve fast, new technologies and standards come out everyday. So its important to teach people enough of the hard skills to know enough to build what they want to build but we also need to teach them how to refresh those skills, stay up on current developments, contribute to the evolution.
Webmaking is (can be) about jobs.
Webmaking skills are real, job relevant skills and not just for future web developers, but people across many disciplines. Journalists, filmmakers, scientists, business professionals, doctors, teachers…most of these skills are relevant. Through the Open Badges work, we've talked to a lot of employers about what they are looking for and in addition to the basic digital skills, they want people that know how to collaborate, innovate and think critically. All webmaking skills! Again, its about arming people with the range of skills needed so that they can shape their own pathway and excel.
Webmaking is understanding, building and innovating.
We want to help webmakers not only learn basic skills, but use those skills to build things that matter to them (in fact, we'd prefer it if they learned the skills BY building the things), and by actually innovating around the initial skills so that they are leaving their mark and making the web better for webmakers to follow.
Webmaking is about capitalizing on the affordances of the Web.
Personally I think webmaking should include being prepared for and able to capitalize on the affordances of the web. When you look at things like learning - the Web opens up the possibilities for learning (open ed courses, learning games, collaborative discussions, wikipedia, etc.) but simply having an internet connection is not going to necessarily help people take advantage of these options and learn more. They need to understand how to find and evaluate these opportunities, how to participate and share information, etc. This is a hugely important piece of webmaking to me.
Webmaking is about empowerment.
It is a high-paced, information-saturated world out there and it is very easy for people to just be consumers - to simply take things in and accept everything at face value. Part of webmaking is empowering them to take control, to realize that things (the Web for one) are not immutable, to develop and assert their own voice, to question information, to remix things and channel inner creativity, etc.
Webmaking is a way of life.
We want to prepare people for participation and contribution in today's (and tomorrow's) digital society and global economy. Webmaking skills can set up an approach to life in general that fosters not only looking-under-the-hood, embracing failure, tinkering and remixing, but also participation, citizenship and action. These are not just life skills but ultimately a way of approaching life.
Again, this is my personal opinion of webmaking. While I know that many Mozilla colleagues would agree with a lot of the above, we also need to scope it to a clear and concise definition that we can all get behind. As I mentioned, that work is in progress so more to come on that.
I am also not trying to imply that we think we can teach everyone all of this, but I think our concept of webmaking should be this far reaching. We should want to change the world (or more to the point, give people the tools to change their own worlds) and with that as a guiding principle, we will build more thoughtful, powerful and holistic learning experiences.
(Working) Learning Design Principles
I posted a braindump a few weeks ago on things that felt like important considerations for our learning offerings. I've built on that list a bit more and presented it on the Learning Community call today. We got some great feedback and are looking for even more insight as we continue to evolve this list. These are important to get (mostly) right before we get too far down the road of developing our learning content. The current principles are listed below and the working document can be found here.
One thing to note: there are definite crossovers between these - overlaps which I think makes sense. If we do this right, there should be a diversity of deliverables and options but with a thread of a consistent feel or approach throughout. People should get a feel for what Mozilla learning is like/about and that feeling should carry throughout all of the different pathways we provide.
Learning to make by making. Less yak, more hack.
- Built around tools and making exercises that 'help teach'
- Learning is a byproduct of making
Hacking on things they care about at the core.
- Authentic, interest-based learning
- Meaningful making vs. arbitrary tasks
- i.e. stories for journalists
More pathways == better. Avoid (even "fight") one prescribed way to learn.
- Leverage existing content and pathways.
- Balance self-driven options, authority/faciliated options, peer options
- Ultimately: choose your own adventure approach
- Offer/support multimedia options (online, offline, synchronous, asynchronous, etc)
- Support various levels / entry points (age, skill level, learning types, etc)
Support / encourage the "social".
- Encourage social interaction, collaboration, peer learning and sharing
- Leverage peer assessments and mentorship
Build in fun / play.
- Explicit fun in cases where it makes sense, but also implicit
- Promote / support interest-driven exploration and tinkering
- Capitalize on intrinsic motivations already existing
- Support both:
- Fun (pure enjoyment) vs Play (tinkering, messing around)
- Might be two separate principles?
Embed assessments in the learning and learning in the assessments.
- Be innovative about assessment - honor the nature of the learning experience / making
- Authentic and relevant assessments built into the learning experience
- People should be able to learn more through taking the assessment as well as assessing other people's work
Support graceful degradation - Fail well.
- Help users when they get stuck
- Build in trial and error as much as possible
- Congratulate people for failing; congratulate people for trying alternative methods
Give recognition.
- Legitimize this learning - make it count beyond the learning experience
- Build in badges
Design for extensibility / scale beyond ourselves.
- Make it easy to run events around learning content - event kit + plug and play content
- Modularity
- Mentorship and teach the teachers
- Nurture a community that can run itself
Reveal the universe.
- Show people everything there is to learn and how - let them see where they fit into it and where they can go.
- Recognize that not everyone wants to get to the same point you do
Produce consumer grade web experiences and software.
- High quality, authentic experiences
- Build experiences that feel like Mozilla
Again, more context on some of these can be found in my previous post.
What's missing from this list? Are there other principles that we should consider? Again, here's the working document - feel free to add thoughts directly to the etherpad.
Mozilla Learning Roadmap
- a definition of a core set of web literacy skills
- a set of generalized curriculum and tools around these skills that provide people with ways to learn and develop each skill. This may involve pulling together existing resources like those from Hackasaurus and the Hive, as well as developing new curriculum/tools to fill in the gaps.
- a Mozilla badge system built around the skills and curriculum, plugging into the Open Badge Infrastructure
- pilots of that learning offering (including curriculum + tools + badges), tailored for filmmakers, journalists and teens, delivered through Popcorn, Open News and the Hive respectively.
- an event kit to walk people through how to run learning labs or hackjams around our learning content
- an online destination place for our content on make.mozilla.org
- community space for facilitators/instructors to support them in using our learning material
- what else? what's missing from this list?
Learning to make by making…
Mozilla is doing a bunch of thinking and work around creating learning offerings for webmaking and web literacy. We are working on defining what we think the core set of web literacy skills are - including both harder skills and the 'softer' or more social skills. And we are developing curriculum, assessments and pathways for people to learn those skills. All of this is new and evolving daily, but there are some things/principles/assumptions that I feel are important to guide our work:
Learning making by making (or Less yak, more hack).
Learning experiences should be be hands-on, immersive activities that are focused on the making part, where the learning happens almost as a by-product. Let people get their hands dirty and learn through the process of trial and error, tinkering, exploring and building. This one is pretty core to everything we do, and many of the other principles/assumptions discussed below feed from this one. We won't have lectures or long textbooks to read - instead expect to see more lightweight, modularized, immersive activities or experiences which can stand on their own but are also rich with opportunities for learning. A note: with this approach, its important to explicitly tell the learners what they've learned after (and in some cases, during) the experience to make them aware and foster self-reflection and metacognition. This is where the Mozilla badges will play an important role. Keep reading for more on that.
Hacking on things that they care about as the core.
Where possible, the thing in the middle that people are building or hacking on should be something that they care about and is relevant to them. For example, for a journalist, that thing might be a story that she has written. It's probably safe to assume that she cares about the story, has some emotional attachment to it and its success, feels a sense of ownership, can envision how to make it better, etc. So taking that story and having her build it out in HTML and CSS is going to help her learn HTML/CSS much more quickly and deeply than if she just did random one-off tasks. This model isn't always going to work in all cases, but its important to focus on activities that are meaningful to the learner.
Have fun.
It's hard to downplay the power of fun for motivation and deeper learning. Therefore, we are approaching our curriculum and design with a sense of playfulness and fun. I don't necessary think that explicit fun has to be a part of everything - there are a lot of learning experiences, like the journalist one mentioned above, that can be implicitly and intrinsically fun and motivating and where possible, we want to foster that. But there are many other cases where explicit/extrinsic fun can really draw people in and lead to a lot of learning. Therefore, things like missions, role-based challenges and mini-games will definitely have a place in our overall learning content offering.
Learn together.
One of the key affordances of the Web is that it connects us to other people - allows us to share things and riff on them together. Webmaking is inherently a social activity as well. The success of the early web and HTML was that it was so easy to view source, copy other people's code and build on it/from it. So these learning experiences should allow for, and maybe even strongly encourage, social interaction, peer learning and mentorship.
Embed assessments in the learning and embed learning in the assessments.
We want to ensure that people are learning and we want them to be aware of what they've learned too. So assessment is important. But this doesn't mean we need to force people through artificial multiple choice exams. If we are doing the stuff from above right, namely trying to make the learning experience meaningful and/or fun, then the assessments should follow the same model. Assessments should be embedded into the learning experience where possible. They should allow for people to leverage work they've already done (i.e. linking to your github account to demonstrate that you know how to code). We want to avoid authority-required assessments, but instead focus on peer assessment and self-assessments as much as possible. Here's the kicker - people should LEARN during the assessment process. Whether its from the experience of doing the work required for the assessment, or being the assessor, there is an opportunity to encourage more learning here.
Get/Give recognition.
OF COURSE we are building badges into our learning offerings. While there is an element of eating our own dog food, our webmaking content is a perfect use case for badges. It's informal, interest-driven learning that will include many job-relevant skills. And then there's the whole self-awareness/metacognition thing I previously mentioned. Oh and some motivation thrown in to the mix as well. Thus, learners will earn badges as they interact with our content, take assessments, build things, etc. We haven't decided the specifics yet, but its possible the smaller incremental badges will level up or aggregate into a Webmaker master type of badge.
Allow for extensibility
There are two levels here: extensibility on the individual learner level and on our entire learning offering level. On the learner level: webmaking is creative and personal - therefore these learning experiences cannot be overly scaffolded or constrained. We need to leave room for individual (or group!) experimentation. We need to be flexible to let the learner adapt things as they go, or choose their own adventure, if you will. On the higher level: We know a lot about webmaking but 1) we don't know everything, 2) we don't know how to speak to everyone and 3) it changes all the time. Therefore, we should design our learning offerings in a way that people can both pick it up and use it in their own contexts, but also BUILD ON IT. This should support everything from localization to something much bigger, like a more traditional open source model.
Reveal the universe.
This ties into some of the points made above, but it is important to give the learner a sense of everything there is to learn, and where they fit into it. We may handle this through a set of badges and/or a learning map that can illustrate what a particular learner has achieved/mastered and what's next or what's left for them. We have to provide the pathways to mastery for those that want them, while also allowing people to jump around as well. The key is that they have a picture of the learning universe and can make choices about how to explore it.
It may be helpful to reiterate that while I think many of these principles are important for all kinds of learning, we are working with a very specific set of content - webmaking - that potentially lends itself better to some of these approaches than other content. We are also very clearly rooted in the informal learning space, which ultimately gives us more flexibility (but it is important to me to still build in some rigor around effectiveness and accountability as well).
Just some of the things I'm thinking about right now. Would love to hear other suggestions/ideas.
Learning, Freedom and My Job
While I was off making a human and getting him through the first 12 weeks of his life, the Mozilla Foundation has been up to some pretty cool stuff.
Back in November 2010, some of us met in Barcelona to explore the idea of hacking and learning. What would happen if we took the hacker way of thinking and applied it to learning and education? What assumptions would get turned on their heads? What would we CHANGE? What would we TEACH? I didn't work for Mozilla at the time so I am not sure how much of this was foreseen and how much was a surprise, but the energy, inspiration and output was incredible. Mozilla had really tapped into something special.
A lot of projects spun out of that time together, including the Open Badges project, which obviously I have been closely aligned with since (see every blog post before this :)). But in addition to these projects, there was this lingering sense that Mozilla had more to say. More to do.
Well, now we are saying it. And we are doing it.
This year we are building a Mozilla learning offering around web making and web literacies. We will be defining and developing a core set of web literacy skills. We will build curriculum and learning pathways around these skills. And that learning and skill development will be recognized by Mozilla badges. It's Mozilla as a digital/web literacy evangelist. Mozilla as a learning provider. Mozilla as a badge issuer. Mozilla as a game changer.
With this refocus and my return from maternity leave, I now have the opportunity to work with an amazing group of folks to build this together. We make up the MoFo Learning Group and we can haz awesomeness.
VERY excited about this work. 2012 is a BIG year. Welcome back to me!
Open Badge Infrastructure (#3)
First post of 2011! What better way to ring in the New Year than a post about the 3rd (and final) piece of the badge system - the open badge infrastructure. I have already (briefly) talked about the assessments and badges, but there is a bigger piece that extends beyond our pilot and even our own definition of badges (hint: the badge infrastructure). As I have discussed before here and here, an alternative form of assessment and certification are necessary because learning is happening all around us, all across the Web and other experiences and yet none of that learning 'counts' or is transferable to other contexts. Assessments and associated badges can help us with this by providing a mechanism to demonstrate and capture the learning wherever it happens and then carry the evidence with us back to recruiters, formal institutions or our peer community.
Yeah yeah yeah, I have said all of this before, but the key part that I have not yet addressed is the 'wherever it happens' piece (hint: that's where the open badge infrastructure comes in)… A lot of my day-to-day work lately has been mapping out an assessment/badge plan for the School of Webcraft, a set of P2PU courses on web development. And that's really cool and important because it is a free, accessible and open path to learning and its also a peer learning environment - all of which are relatively unchartered territories as far as assessment and certification goes. And through these focused efforts we will learn a bunch, potentially (hopefully) provide more incentives for P2PU learners and even provide a model for other people to work from. All good and critical things, but they are still isolated. If we only build our system, we are not supporting learners much better than any individual institution does. If someone chooses another perfectly legitimate path, it won't 'count' because they can't get the proof or evidence (degree, badges, etc).
So what are the options? Well, we could work to design/vet/support badges that cover everyone for every type of learning and every skill/topic and manage all of the badges centrally… Hopefully that concept seems as ridiculous to you as it does to me. Who are we to try to do that? The beauty of the world we live in now is that again, learning is happening everywhere and that everywhere changes and grows constantly. So a truly valuable badge system is one that supports badges from that everywhere. It should support badges from any issuer, collect those badges to a persistent identity (for each individual) and allow the badges to be shared out back into the everywhere. It must be open so that every need and path can be captured and demonstrated and the learner remains in control. This is the open badge infrastructure. And Mozilla is building it.
The open badge infrastructure will support badges issued by anyone across the Web, and allow an individual learner to collect these badges (from those anyone), store them to a single identity and then carry them with them and share them across contexts. Said in plain(er) English, if I am taking a few courses at P2PU and I am also using a series of OER materials in another context that is issuing associated badges, I can collect badges from these independent issuers, have all of the earned badges connected with my open identity, and then I can take those badges with me to interviews, back to my formal institution or post on this blog or LinkedIn profile to demonstrate my learning and skills for various audiences. This infrastructure is critical to truly support learning across the Web.
Now obviously this is idealized somewhat. In order for 'every need and path' to be supported, there would need to be badge issuers at every step. We can't control who issues badges but we can provide the infrastructure to support anyone who wants to. So we are. And eventually, if and when the value is apparent, sites/providers/communities will want to have badges. And if it is truly open, learners could even create or suggest badges along the way.
Open scares a lot of people. I have heard a colleague say (paraphrasing): "Everyone loves open education until they consider education being truly open." Wait, ANYONE can issue badges? It could get messy! There might be a lot of badges?! There might be 'bad' badges! And people might game the system! True. All things to watch closely. But a centralized or closed system WILL NOT solve our problems, and in fact will simply recreate the ones we already have by only supporting a small subset of the learning that is occuring, putting the power to decide what 'counts' in a small number of hands, created prescribed learning paths, demotivating learners…and so on and so on.
Besides, I seem to remember a similar case in the early days of the Web. Wait, ANYONE can create a website? It could get messy! There might be a lot of websites?! There might be 'bad' websites! Then we had Google and various services that help us find, rate and share websites that are credible and/or are valuable/relevant/interesting to us. Maybe we will need something like that for badges, we don't know yet. But just as a closed and controlled Web would have never resulted in the explosion of creativity, expression, transparency and access that we value and depend on today, a closed badge system will never reach full potential. Open badge infrastructure FTW!
It goes without saying that Mozilla, ambassador of the open web, is the right entity to be building this open badge infrastructure. There is a team already cranking away to open up badges and take this thing the the next level. They built a prototype in Barcelona and haven't looked back. More to come over the next few months!

Senator the Hon Don Farrell
Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and Urban Water
Nick Champion MP
Member for Wakefield
More regional SA towns can now access 7-day forecasts
Joint media release
26 July 2012
Senator Don Farrell, Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and Urban Water, today announced that more South Australians can now get location-specific 7-day forecasts in 31 additional towns across the state, thanks to a Federal Government investment.
Announcing the additional sites today at the University of Adelaide campus in Roseworthy one of the new forecast towns Senator Don Farrell said the extra forecasts mean there are now 59 communities in South Australia that can get a visual and written, seven day forecast from the Bureau of Meteorology's website.
"For the first time, people in these communities will have a location specific weather summary for the week ahead," Senator Farrell said.
"For each of the seven days, the weather is described with a visual icon, a brief written summary and the forecast maximum and minimum temperatures."
Federal Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion MP, said the addition of these extra towns means more people across the local area will have a concise weather forecast that is nearer to them.
"This new level of forecasting is invaluable for the local area. It's great for tourists, great for locals in this growing region, and great for agriculture including here at the University of Adelaide's Roseworthy Campus," Mr Champion said.
All 59 town forecasts are now available from the Bureau's interactive forecast area map. Web visitors have only to click on the highlighted town to access the 7-day forecast.
Senator Farrell said people looking for a forecast in other locations can also get that information using the point-and-click Forecast Explorer weather map viewer, which provides simple seven day forecasts for every location in the state.
He said these new functions are part of the Next Generation Forecast and Warning System which, when completed for all states in 2015, will give visitors to the Bureau's website access to:
- Detailed 7-day forecasts for 650 towns across Australia; and
- 7-day forecasts for any location using an interactive map viewer.
To access the South Australian forecast area map, go to: http://www.bom.gov.au/sa/forecasts/map7day.shtml
Additional towns receiving 7-day online forecasts: Bordertown, Coffin Bay, Cummins, Edithburgh, Elliston, Ernabella, Hawker, Jamestown, Kadina, Karoonda, Kimba, Lameroo, Marla, Marree, Meningie, Minlaton, Moomba, Nullarbor, Oak Valley, Oodnadatta, Orroroo, Parawa, Parndana, Roseworthy, Snowtown, Stenhouse Bay, Stirling, Strathalbyn, Tarcoola, Waikerie, Yunta.

Mark, Jenny Sanford to probably duke it out in South Carolina
On Monday, Nikki Haley named Tim Scott to fill Jim DeMint's Senate seat, which he vacated when he realized that he could get a better job that pays more if he wasn't pretending to care about the country. Tim Scott, for his part, immediately ran afoul of everyone who thinks black people should be Democrats if they want to continue to be considered to be black people, despite the fact that Tim Scott is, demonstrably, a black person.
But his term will end pretty soon – with the next election cycle – so the race is on to see which South Carolina resident would be the least acceptable replacement for Jim DeMint. Unfortunately, Nikki Haley has already oppo'ed out Stephen Colbert, so we're left with only a small slate of famous South Carolinians.
But thankfully, it's a willing slate.
Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is mulling a congressional comeback, with sources saying he might join the special election contest for Rep. Tim Scott's soon-to-be-vacant House seat.
Sanford is "studying" a run for the Charleston-area, GOP-leaning 1st District, which he occupied in the 1990s, said one South Carolina source. The seat will soon be vacant because Republican Gov. Nikki R. Haley on Monday selected freshman Republican Scott to succeed Sen. Jim DeMint, who is resigning in January, just two years into his second term.
In case you don't remember, Mark Sanford is the disgraced former governor of South Carolina who disappeared for large swaths of time during his tenure. He claimed the trips were "hiking vacations" where he would get lost in the Appalachian Mountains, find himself, and return with a fresh outlook on life and a heavier commitment to uncovering the true Buddha within himself. In reality, he was visiting his Argentinian mistress. But now, apparently that his Argentinian mistress is soon to be his Argentinian wife, Mark feels he can comfortably re-enter the political sphere, at least until his next International whim takes him.
Unfortunately for Mark, though, his competition is fierce, and their vendetta? Personal.
Emerging as a possible candidate is former South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford — Mark Sanford's ex-wife — who lives in the 1st District. One Palmetto State GOP strategist said Haley would likely back Jenny Sanford, who was on the governor's short list of possible Senate appointees, if she decides to run.
"Nikki's endorsement won't be far behind," the strategist said.
Nice. And awesome. And given that the only other announced candidate is the son of famed segregationist Strom Thurmond, probably a great shot at long-term success and the possible ability to have Mark Sandford's new wife's visa denied.

From Twitter back in November 2013 before a GetUp! rally
Didn't even have to paraphrase! He said this on Twitter about news reports on the World Economic Forum back in January.
He truly rooly said this on Twitter a week ago. I think the look on his face is quite fitting. It's a bit "something's not quite right".
OK so I'm paraphrasing. But he did say on Twitter that Richard Denniss (from @australiainstitute) wrote an interesting article on class war hypocrisy in the Canberra Times back on 15 Feb.
Also, every time I look at this pic I think "geez I wouldn't wanna be the guy with the ball here". Which is kinda like the pain in my heart every time I think about the class war going on in Australia right now. That Richard Denniss says some true stuff.
hey look it's one of my favourite people! And #feministdavidpocock :)
Hope Miss MeOwww got more fresh meat sign-ups for the info night on 4 April. Go Varsity!
This one is word for word what he said on Twitter. So there.
He has said that Mary Fagdalene (from Perth Roller Derby League's Mistresses of Mayhem) is his favourite roller derby player in the world, and has said positive things about lots of other women's sports too.
OK fine he didn't really say this. He actually tweeted "Their milkshakes really do bring all the boys to the yard" about a cafe. But don't let that get in the way of my imagination OK?
I posted the original meme for this line somewhere else, and one of my roller derby friends said when he saw it he knew I was his kind of people. It's still the best thing anyone's said to me in forever.

Since it's a bajillion degrees out today here at The Huntington, here's a virtual trip outside to walk along the phases of the moon in our Children's Garden. When the temps drop off a bit, you'll have to come moonwalk for real.
"Everything Illuminates" by Jiang Pengyi
Jiang Pengyi, b. 1977
Born in Hunan Province, China, Jiang Pengyi graduated from Beijing Institute of Art and Design in 1999. His work has been exhibited in Moscow, Beijing, Shenzen, New York, Shanghai, Nantes, London and Brussels. In Jiang's Everything Illuminates series, the mystique of autonomous objects is revealed in delicate depiction. He pours liquid wax mixed with fluorescent powder onto different objects, and lets the faint fluorescence trace the objects' forms on film over time. Through the passage of time, these objects slowly take on their new forms on film and emit individual signals from their uncommon glow, as they emerge in a bewitching existence.

Tala, Haliya, Magwayen {2013}
So last year, I went to Hong Kong. Because I won an art contest thing. I haven't been out of the country in a while so it was a welcome change of pace and scenery. I actually had meant to make a long post about it late last year. But after I got back, I was greeted with a series of unfortunate events. And eventually I just never got around to it.
Part of the conditions though for my Hong Kong trip was to create more art for an exhibit there. The point of the exhibit was to tell stories of mystique and being Filipino. So I came up with the above paintings all based on three goddesses in the Philippine mythological pantheon. They're all a bit rough, but I was in a bit of a rush. I see so many faults in all of them that it's driving me nuts. But I was happy with them at the time, now I'm not so sure.
It could be better. But whatever.
At least I got to Hong Kong and I think I was able to communicate my stories well enough. Well enough that I sold the canvas prints to a lovely couple. So these paintings are now probably hanging in their apartment in Hong Kong.
Aside from the sweet validation, it was also kind of a relief that I sold out actually. I brought my tablet along for repairs but without really any money to pay for it, but it all worked out. Plus, I got a bit of extra shopping money. I bought art materials mostly.
But the whole time before the night of the exhibit had ended, I was worried I wasn't going to sell and that I would have to lug those massive canvases back to the Philippines along with a still-broken Intuos. It would've been so devastating.
Anyway, it was a great trip. It was pretty soul-enriching. Met a lot of really cool people and made a few new friends. And I learned a lot through the process of making these though, despite not being entirely happy with them. I always make it a point to experiment and try something new with every serious painting. I think that's important, but sometimes I end up with glorious failures. But then again, my most unforgiving critic is myself.

Business leaders in Minneapolis are calling for a new Minnesota Vikings stadium on the western edge of downtown, even though the city's mayor wants a new stadium on the current Metrodome site.
"I think it's still in play," Hennepin County Board Chairman Mike Opat said Wednesday of the so-called "Downtown West" proposals — two potential sites that are both adjacent to the Twins' Target Field. Opat was a key player in the deal-making that got Target Field built, but has stayed mostly quiet as officials from the city of Minneapolis and Ramsey County jockey to be the site of a new football stadium.
Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said last week that rebuilding on the Metrodome land would be the cheapest option, after state lawmakers who will make the ultimate site decision pressed the mayor to choose between the three options. But Minneapolis business leaders muddied the waters Wednesday as they unveiled a 15-year development plan for downtown that included a "sports district" west of downtown that would take in Target Field, Target Center and a new football stadium.
"Imagine a renovated Target Center, new public gathering places, a Vikings stadium and a new transportation exchange all working in concert with Target Field — producing one of the liveliest areas in any American city," said John Griffith, executive vice president for property development at Target Corp. Griffith chaired a committee of the Minneapolis Downtown Council that assembled the 15-year plan.
Opat and Downtown Council leaders declined to say whether Minneapolis companies and business leaders would be willing to contribute financially to the cost of building a stadium that could cost as much as $1 billion. But Sam Grabarski, president of the Downtown Council, said the western sites offered more opportunities for private investment than are available around the Metrodome, which is on the eastern edge of downtown.
Grabarski envisioned public plazas, a retail pavilion, facilities designed to host events tied to a future Super Bowl, and major upgrades to the nearby Minneapolis Farmer's Market. "It's very possible these things would capture and encourage private sector participation in very tangible ways," Grabarski said.
Rybak said he's backing the Metrodome site because it would be cheaper and he believes it has more support on the Minneapolis City Council than the west-side sites.
"Right now I have to deal with the achievable," Rybak said. He said the west-side sites might have a better shot if the Vikings or the business community are willing to contribute more money.
Grabarski stressed that downtown business forces still want to work with the mayor to keep the Vikings in Minneapolis, and that the site decision is ultimately secondary. Under the council's 15-year plan, the Metrodome would be converted into a housing and retail area with a small, man-made lake.
The owners of the Vikings have stated their own preference for a fourth option, building on a parcel of land in the Ramsey County suburb of Arden Hills. Vikings spokesman Lester Bagley said the team has numerous unanswered questions about the west side sites.
"The total cost, the footprint, the construction plan, what's included and what's not, who owns it and how is the land acquired, what are the environmental needs, how do you get 65,000 people in and out of there — we know these answers in Arden Hills and at the Metrodome site," Bagley said.
At a state Senate hearing earlier last month, several state lawmakers chided Rybak for the city's failure to get behind one of the three site proposals — which seemed to motivate his subsequent decision to back the Metrodome site.
Lawmakers have been working on a stadium bill, complete with a site decision and financing package, and are expected to release it in early January.
The Vikings' lease at the Metrodome, now known as Mall of America Field, expires Feb. 1.
Two developers in the Los Angeles area have asked Vikings ownership about selling the franchise, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that next season is too soon to put a team in the nation's second-largest market.
"It is a viable market in the sense that we know there are millions of fans in that market who want to see football return there," Goodell said at the league's owners meetings near Dallas. "But we want it to return in a successful way, and that requires a stadium. I don't think we'll be in a position to make that decision by 2012, but we'll continue to work with the different alternatives in Los Angeles and hope that we get a solution that will work."
The NFL also announced it will put more money in a stadium financing program that could contribute millions to a project in Minnesota. Goodell said again he's confident a new facility will be built.
"I don't sense it just from the ownership group. I sense it from the leaders in Minnesota also who I have been in regular contact with. Everyone wants to find a solution," Goodell said.
AP Pro Football Writer Jaime Aron in Irving, Texas, contributed to this report.

Topics: Delivery of Care, Medicare, Politics, Health Reform
Dec 23, 2009
The Los Angeles Times reports that Democrats are looking ahead — and at each other — before beginning the "potentially difficult" process of reconciling the Senate and House versions of health care reform. "Democrats are hopeful that the momentum generated by the long-awaited Senate vote — and the high political stakes involved in finishing the job — will grease the wheels of negotiations with the House." Differences between the bills include the treatment of abortion in the bills and the presence of a public option for health insurance, which is absent from the Senate version but front and center in the House. "Negotiators also will have to hammer out disagreements that will determine how quickly the bill takes effect, what taxes will be raised, and other items that reach deeply into every hospital, doctor's office and home medicine cabinet." White House health czar Nancy-Ann DeParle "acknowledged that many liberal House Democrats feel they already have compromised too much on the public option," but said they have signaled also that they are willing to negotiate (Hook, 12/23).
The Hill reports on President Barack Obama's role in shaping the health care overhaul legislation in the weeks ahead. "Obama, who has largely deferred to congressional leaders on healthcare reform, is expected to play a major role in ironing out differences between the House and Senate in order to sign a bill early next year. House and Senate Democrats have already started to play the leverage game, with both factions pointing out they have little to no ground to give. The House passed its version 220-215, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) needed to convince every member of his conference to overcome a 60-vote legislative hurdle on Monday morning."
"Aside from the public option, the White House will need to referee House/Senate differences on abortion, immigration and tax increases, among many other issues. … House leaders have stressed they will not take up the more centrist Senate legislation, but it is hard to envision the conference bill making a major move to the left. Given the difficulty of winning 60 votes in the Senate, liberals are unlikely to win concessions on these issues in a conference. That means Obama and his aides will have to convince them that what is left of their hopes for healthcare reform is worth moving" (Youngman and Cusack, 12/23).
The Associated Press reports that the abortion issue could still defeat health reform as lawmakers work to find a suitable solution between House and Senate treatments of abortion in plans participating in federal exchanges. "The House health care bill would bar any health plan that receives federal money from covering abortions. Under the less restrictive Senate language, plans that get federal money could cover abortion as long as customers pay premiums for the procedure separately with their own money, and the premium payments are kept in a separate account. 'Something's going to have to give,' said Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., author of the abortion language in the House." Stupak has said he and 10 others in the House find the Senate language unacceptable, but didn't say it would keep him from voting for the final version of the health reform bill (Werner, 12/23). Other House Democrats, in the meantime, are insisting they "have no plans to roll over for the Senate" in the imminent conference committee, Politico reports. But they "acknowledged it would be all but impossible to reinsert a public insurance option or force the so-called millionaire's tax" on the Senate. That House provision would help pay for the health reform by levying a tax on citizens with higher incomes. On a conference call with her leadership, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi talked about the differences in the bills without giving away her priorities, aides told Politico. They include "replacing the Senate's state-run exchanges with a national exchange established under the House bill, adding tougher mandates to make sure everyone secures health coverage and closing a gap in (Medicare) prescription-drug coverage next year. Senate negotiators have agreed to close the so-called 'donut hole,' but they haven't agreed on a time to implement those changes" (O'Connor, 12/22). Congressional Progressive Caucus leader Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., said he'll push hard for changes to be made to the Senate bill, but didn't say he would vote to kill the measure if changes are not made, Roll Call reports. "Grijalva ticked off a list of items he would like to see addressed, including allowing immigrants to buy in to the new insurance exchanges, repealing the antitrust exemption for the insurance industry, including 'some form of public aspect to the plan,' and moving up implementation of the heart of the bill faster than the 2014 date in the Senate bill" (Dennis, 12/22).
