  Social capital is being defined as ¡°the stock of active connections among people: the trust, mutual understanding and shared values and behaviors that bind the members of human networks and communities and makes cooperative action possible.   Huh?  Sounds like something that would be written on the wall at a retreat for bureaucrats. I like my definition better.  Social capital is the ability of business to allow everyone in their company to be empowered and innovative¡ and¡ to be recognized and compensated for it.

  Educational TV | Salon Life

  
  The institutional obstacle is the No Child Left Behind policy. With the approach of the annual, NCLB-mandated Maryland State Assessment test, Pryzbylewski's hard-won progress stalls as he's forced not only to teach to the test -- basically giving the kids the answers in advance -- but even to turn his math class into an English class for a time, to improve the school's low language arts scores. In the meantime Colvin's kids, who are only just learning to say "please" and "thank you" and not to call each other "bitch" and "motherfucker," are forced to take the same test, for which they are not, and cannot realistically be, prepared. It becomes clear that the school has more to gain by simply "disappearing" these hopeless students (aided by a creative truant policy that only requires offenders to show up one day a month) than by trying to teach them anything.

  GOOD Magazine | Goodmagazine - School Wars

  
  The tragedy of No Child Left Behind, and the private and public efforts to undo its damage, is that not every child is given the chance to achieve her full potential in a caring, creative, dynamic, and intellectually rich environment. And in the absence of ongoing classroom innovation and grassroots advocacy, NCLB has taken over.

  Microsoft breaks IE8 interoperability promise | The Register

  
  Note the last word: default. Microsoft argued that, in light of their newly published interoperability principles, it was the right thing to do. This declaration heralded an about-face and was widely praised by the web standards community; people were stunned and delighted by Microsoft's promise. This week, the promise was broken. It lasted less than six months. Now that Internet Explorer IE8 beta 2 is released, we know that many, if not most, pages viewed in IE8 will not be shown in standards mode by default. The dirty secret is buried deep down in the «Compatibility view» configuration panel, where the «Display intranet sites in Compatibility View» box is checked by default. Thus, by default, intranet pages are not viewed in standards mode.

  Firefox to surpass IE? Yes, but only among the geeks | The Open Road - The Business and Politics of Open Source by Matt Asay - CNET News

  
  In sum, if the web designers stick with IE because they have to, why are so many dumping their duty and using Firefox instead? I use Firefox because it's better. Is "better" swaying web designers and developers away from IE, where 73 percent of the market still resides, according to Hitslink?

  Ma.gnolia Chooses the Open-Source Route: Will It Help Win Over Delicious? | Profy | Internet news and commentary

  
  What’s more, being open-sources for Ma.gnolia means that any webmaster or any company will be able to take the code, customize it and install it as a part of other existing web properties. The interesting approach is that even if you install your version of M.gnolia on your website it will still be able to communicate with the other Ma.gnolia’s and all the links saved will join the bookmarks of the core Ma.gnolia.
