The Three Traditional Sectors
Businesses create and distribute goods and services that enhance our quality of life, promote growth, and generate prosperity. They spur innovation, reward entrepreneurial effort, provide a return on investment and constantly improve their performance responding to market feedbacks. They draw on the skills, effort and ingenuity of individual workers, and share with them the economic value created by the enterprise.
Non-profit organizations give us ways to celebrate, build and protect the many human values that give rise to healthy, thriving communities. They have worked to ensure that all people have adequate necessities of life, including clean air, water, food and shelter; an equitable share of wealth and resources; and opportunity to develop their full physical, mental and spiritual potential. They create spaces to celebrate the joy of culture and artistic expression, and reveal opportunities for generosity. They have helped protect the environment, working to ensure that human capacities, technologies and organizations sustain and support, not systemically alter, degrade or destroy, the Earth, its diversity of life or the ecological systems that support life. They remind us that many species share this planet and depend on each other, and that humanity must not only care for itself, but must steward an entire world.

“Keeping up to date with research and managing an ever-increasing number of journal articles is skill that must be well-honed by academics. Here, Alex Hope sets out how his workflow has developed using Zotero, Dropbox, Goodreader and his iPad.”
Phi Beta Iota: This one person's tested approach with existing tools could be the foundation for creating the World Brain. Also exciting is the London School of Economic platform that his contribution has been published on, and the idea of Twitter as a replacement for the Institute of Scientific Information's various citation analytics efforts, all mired back in the Industrial Era.
Whether it was the Higgs Boson, or just a reference to the actual particle, the CERN discovery is already generating cultural waves and memes.

MoveOn.org brings real Americans back into the political process. With over 5 million members across America—from carpenters to stay-at-home moms to business leaders—we work together to realize the progressive promise of our country. MoveOn is a service—a way for busy but concerned citizens to find their political voice in a system dominated by big money and big media. MoveOn.org Civic Action, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, primarily focuses on education and advocacy on important national issues.

Phi Beta Iota: 5 million is not serious. 100 million would be serious. What is happening here is that all of the various civil society elements continue to play their isolationist “me me me” games. From Occupy and the Tea Party to Ron Paul to Dennis Kucinich to Rocky Anderson to Jill Stein to the IndependentVoting mob, no one wants to actually come together to achieve results — these are all self-centered campaigns, not real campaigns. A cultural hack is needed — and that is why Open Source Everything is now a meme, a mind-set, and a method.

Navy to deafen 15,900 whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more
Phi Beta Iota: This is most important as a documented form of “true cost” that is now emergent in the public understanding. From depleted uranium to HAARP to forced population reduction to high-frequency sound in the ocean, “true costs” make the US military vastly more toxic and more expensive than their current 50% “tax” on the US entire economy and their hidden taxes and depredation on the rest of the world.

Hi MoveOn member,
Shocking fact: The U.S. Navy estimates that it will kill 1,800 whales and deafen 15,900 more over the next five years through the use of
high-frequency underwater sound for testing.
Amazing story: When I found out that Navy was accepting public comments on this program through July 10, I started a petition on SignOn.org right away. And in just a few days, over 200,000 people signed.
What's next? You can sign the petition too, before the July 10 deadline, to keep our impact growing. The petition says:
Stop the killing of 1,800 whales and dolphins and the deafening of 15,900 more by ceasing the operation of the Navy's underwater sound system in the Hawaiian Islands, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Click here to add your name to the petition, and then pass it along to your
