No because I cant afford time/resources in localities where I dont have enough collaboration connections

my key foci are:

san francisco open learning networks

boston open tech networks 

new york reform economic netwoeks

dc where I live because my family lives here -c onflict resolve everything networks including conscious capitalism

if you have colaboration amabassadors to your network in these places why not introduce them

if you want me to introduce to te few people I know in your region tell me

Rachel Carson is not one of my heroines -one of her impacts is to continue to kill a million children a yera with mosquitos

 - the trouble with valuing the whole truth of ecology is choosing the right innovation leap for next generation - we are cooked if this generation doesnt transforn to clean energy and clean agriculture but her science or lack of it 60 years ago is a very bad idea for linking in the change we need

Hey chris,

I want to ask a quick question - are you going to be joining us for
the Regenerative Culture School Wilderness Retreat November 15-17th
(more details @ http://www.regenerative.com/school).  

New to us 2nd quarter 2013

connections with wonderful global good fund- selects socially concerned and job creating youth leaders and develops customised coaching programs around them (socially concerned is defined round 5 ways of developing community health which is a curriculum Carrie Rich has developed)

to fully understand how global good fund works start studying its linkedin coaching networks eg Jonathan lewis at cafe impact http://cafeimpact.com/  and ionpoverty He started the Opportunity Collaboration which is a yearly anti-poverty UNconference on World Poverty Day in Ixtapa, Mexico.  This strategic business retreat and networking summit for 300 senior level anti-poverty leaders from around the world.  If you can ever make it, apply to be a Delegate and mention that you watch Café Impact.

He also launched MicroCredit Enterprises which leverages private capital to make tiny business loans to deeply impoverished people, mostly women, in developing countries.  A rarity in the non-profit world, MicroCredit Enterprises is self-sufficient without donations or grants.  Right now, MicroCredit Enterprises funds microloans in 30 nations on 5 continents with a loan portfolio of $40 million.

Some of his other social enterprise activities are Dev Equity (socialimpact investment fund focused on Latin America), Everyone Counts (social enterprise assuring safe and secure elections around the world) and Copia Global (consumer catalog serving the base of the economic pyramid; Jonathan with Copia senior team pictured in a Copia partner store, Nairobi, Kenya).

Jonathan is a Lecturer on social entrepreneurship at the Blum Center for Developing Economies, University of California

MIT report identifies keys to new American innovation

From ‘Main Street’ firms to multinationals, improvements possible in funding of research, collaboration among manufacturers.

Economy of homes is a most important issue to children - and one that USA continuously messes up according to new book by MIT prof "Chicago and Atlanta, two ‘conspicuous experiments’  http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/lawrence-vale-book-purging-the-poorest-0430.html 

“Purging the Poorest” is a case study of two cities, Chicago and Atlanta. Both have essentially razed whole neighborhoods twice in the last 80 years: first transforming urban slums to public-housing projects starting in the 1930s, and then demolishing those buildings, since the 1990s, in favor of lower-density buildings.   

“Chicago and Atlanta are probably the nation’s most conspicuous experiments in getting rid of, or at least transforming, family public housing,” Vale explains. However, he notes, “It’s hard to find an older American city that doesn’t have at least one example of this double clearance.”

Essentially, Vale says, these cities exemplify one basic question: “Should public resources go to the group most likely to take full advantage of them, or to the group that is most desperately in need of assistance?”
