Frameworks for Dialogue and Research about Social Impact Investing
Social Impact Investment is a rapidly expanding field, but terminology in the field is poorly defined and imprecise. This note suggests frameworks that help to clarify important dimensions of SII projects, distinguishing and clarifying key differences in approaches to social impact investments undertaken by different organizations and funders.

Because the first one came out in 2008. And it's becoming increasingly popular from the iOS port, as well as KH:3D. Plus, they gave us the hint at the end of the iOS port about a sequel, and no info has been given since, just more hints. It's essential to the people who loved the first game to get another one. And if Square Enix has a brain, they should realize another TWEWY would sell quite well.
And because it's my favorite game. Thus making important to me.

Update: (5 p.m.) County Coroner Walter I. Hofman has confirmed to The Times Herald that the body retrieved from the Schuykill River on Sunday afternoon is that of Janice Rubendall. Rubendall's body was reportedly identified by its tattoos.
Update: On Monday morning, March 5, West Norriton Police Chief Robert Adams told Patch that he could not officially confirm the identity of the body found yesterday in the Schuylkill River. According to Chief Adams, First Assistant District Attorney Kevin Steele will release the information following an autopsy by the coroner.
More information is expected later today.
Original story below.
A body found along the bank of the Schuylkill River on Sunday afternoon has been tentatively identified as Janice Rubendall, the former U.S Marine in early January.
Robert Rubendall, Janice's father, said Sunday evening that Lower Providence Township Police had visited him at his home to tell him of the discovery.
A resident of the Port Indian neighborhood in West Norriton discovered the body "wedged between a boat dock and the shoreline," Rubendall said. "They're pretty sure it's her."
The location is about three-quarters of a mile downstream from the Betzwood Bridge that carries Route 422 over the Schuylkill River. Janice Rubendall was known to frequent the area underneath the bridge.
"Searchers never would have found her" in the place where the body was recovered, Rubendall said.
The body was taken to the Montgomery County Coroner's Office, which Rubendall said is expected to confirm the identification on Monday.
Rubendall expressed his thanks for the assistance of the Lower Providence Police Department and the Valley Forge National Park Rangers, both of whom he said "went above and beyond" in their efforts to help locate his daughter.
"I kept hoping, but the thing that kept sticking in my mind was her car," Rubendall said. "She never would have left her car there."

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — People were running and walking, riding bicycling and careening through ditches on ATVs trying to get into neighborhoods in the Moore area Monday afternoon. History seemed to replay the events that once rocked this area when a tornado swept through the middle of Moore on May 3, 1999.
"I knew it would be just like '99," said an elderly man walking northbound on Santa Fe in hopes of getting into his neighborhood.
"Don't try to go north on Santa Fe, they've got it blocked off," a woman yelled out the window of an SUV covered in vegetative debris.
Interstate 35 was closed to northbound traffic at Indian Hills Road and vehicles were diverted onto other roadways, but those arteries were clogged and one mile north of Indian Hills there was no place to go. Western was closed at 164th Street.
Southmoore students in debris covered vehicles were inching along trying to get home. They talked through open windows as they waited for traffic to move forward.
"It went right behind our school," one said. "I think it wiped out Warren Theatre."
Students said they were secured in a safe place when the tornado hit. The theater was badly damaged but Moore Medical Center took the worst hit.
Helen Murray said her son lives in apartment near the area. She was shopping at JC Penny in Moore and had to take cover in the store. When she came out, the hospital was gone.
"They made us go into the coolers," said a Walmart employee who was inching her way home through the heavy traffic. "There's debris everywhere."
She said the tornado missed Walmart but any employees who wanted to leave and go home were allowed to do so.
A plume of black smoke in the sky was a home that was burning. The cause is unknown at this time, but portions of Sunnylane Road were closed because of downed power lines and gas leaks. Sunnylane was closed at 4th Street in Moore, 119th Street in Oklahoma City, guarded by Oklahoma City Police who refused to even let foot traffic into the area.
At 7 p.m. a concerned mother who asked to remain nameless said she had been trying to reach Heritage Trails Elementary School for three hours. She said Moore Public Schools were keeping children safe until parents could pick them up, the problem was finding a route to the school.
Sooner Road and Sunnylane were backed up all the way to Midwest City.
Ronda Hair sat on Sunnylane, sighing to learn the road ahead was closed and she would be detoured again. Her home was on the edge of the 1999 tornado and was just missed. This year, she had already talked to neighbors.
"My house is safe," Hair said. "It's only about three blocks from my house where it hit."
Aaron and Ashley Mullins were also creeping along in the bumper to bumper traffic on Sunnylane.
"My mom and dad's house got hit," said Aaron Mullins. "I'm trying to get to my house."
The couple said they had no idea if their home is still standing. In the back seat, their young boy and family dog rode quietly as if sensing the gravity. For the Mullins, their real treasure was safe in that back seat.

The Port Arthur News
There's not much left of Old Sabine — just a dozen or so colorful beach houses dotting a six-or-seven block area that lies beyond the crossroads in the shadow of Sabine Pass.
Where a thriving 36-block area once stood, complete with a hotel, school, and even a post office, now only a handful of houses and a bar remain, defiantly juxtaposed against a backdrop of new mostly oil-related industry.
It takes just a few seconds to count the houses — 12 in all, including a small apartment building that is mostly vacant now that the Motiva construction project is complete.
But, for the few remaining residents who fondly describe the coastal community as "a little slice of heaven at the end of the earth," this rugged countryside is like none other.
"I can't think of no place I'd rather be than right here," Dana Lester, 77, said.
On any given day, Lester can be found outside, relaxing downstairs on a tattered old recliner while enjoying a 'cold one" and watching Purple Martins soar in and out of the two birdhouse on his front lawn.
There's no need to get in a hurry out here, he said.
Like most of the residents, Lester has spent years living among the marshlands, where the fishing is as good as the mosquitoes are plentiful.
He came to Old Sabine in 1971, and started buying property immediately afterward. Now, his real estate portfolio boasts 33 lots.
"I have more property and less money than anybody down here," he said.
His weathered face is a reminder of the many years he spent as a boat captain. Though he's fished all his life, his work now tends more toward keeping the grass down.
Motioning toward the newly-repaired bush hog, Lester said this next week his work would be cut out of him.
"I mow my own grass and some others' to make a few dollars now and then," he said.
Most days, he said, when the clock inches toward four, five, or six, he'll have company.
"I have somebody come in here everyday. In the evening my buddies come around, and if I've got a 30-pack, they especially come around," he said.
During his 42 years living in Old Sabine, Lester has witnessed changes, and most, he says, aren't for the better.
"There's a lot of people wiped out here from the hurricane," he said.
Before Hurricane Rita nearly destroyed the Sabine Pass area nearly eight years ago, Lester lived in the old school house that he'd moved to his property and made home.
Rita took the school house down, so he built another home, this one a three-bedroom that was lost to Hurricane Ike three years later.
His newest house, built on stilts to comply with government regulations, is much like others around him —littered with any number of small appliances, tools, boats, fishing gear, etc. — some working, some not.
Like most of the old-timers, Lester still calls Old Sabine home, though the community has long since become a part of Sabine Pass, and on a larger scale incorporated by the city of Port Arthur.
Most people don't remember Old Sabine in its heyday, Viola Fairchild, the community's self-proclaimed oldest resident, said.
At 83, she's lived 60 years of her already long life in Old Sabine.
"We used to have a post office here. It closed over 50 years ago, and after that we merged with Sabine Pass," she said.
Old Sabine at one time had a railroad coming through, and a depot. The lot in front of her home used to have a big hotel, called the Windsor Hotel, she recalled.
In 1948, Fairchild moved to Old Sabine as a bride. Her new husband, Leo Fairchild, or Captain Champ as everybody called him, wouldn't hear of living anywhere else.
"Nobody could find them snapper banks like Champ could. He used to go out there with a bar of soap on a string, throw it into the water, pull it up and look, then say, 'Wet your hooks, they're biting.'"
While Fairchild was considered a newcomer when she first married, Her husband had lived in Old Sabine all his life, and wanted it to stay that way.
"I used to say he had saltwater in his veins. I tried to get him to leave, but he would not," she said.
Before Champ's death in 2007, the couple weathered many hurricanes.
"We came through Audrey, Carla and a bunch of little ones, then Ike and Rita. Those four wiped me out four times," she said.
Her latest home was rebuilt with FEMA money, and features a big porch where she often spends time sitting in a worn black-leather recliner, while watching the ships go by and thinking of those that have already sailed.
She knows the place is changing, and that people aren't moving to Old Sabine, and the young ones aren't staying.
"All my friends or my-aged people have moved on, or passed on. I feel like the Lone Ranger," she said. "It's terrible and everytime I turn around, somebody else is passed away. My turn is coming."
While Fairchild holds the distinction of living in the area the longest, folks in Old Sabine are quick to tell how Calvin Henderson is faring these days, after taking a nasty fall off his porch.
He broke his neck, he said, but is on the mend, and has recently gone back to work trapping mud minnows, selling them to bait shops, while putting some back for his own fishing needs.
About any morning, the 69-year-old retired roofer can be found puttering around the marshes in his flat-bottom boat, hoping the day's minnow haul will net some extra cash.
"I get 20 cents a minnow. If I catch 1,000, that's $200," he said.
Henderson and his wife, Fannie, 66, moved to Old Sabine from Arkansas — a state known for its beauty — back in the 1980s when damage from a hail storm offered roofing work.
"Arkansas is so beautiful, but this is too. It's nice and peaceful and quiet, with very little crime," Henderson said.
They stayed, he said, mainly because of the fishing.
The couple lives in a new bright yellow home built with hurricane recovery funding, and uses their old blue home as storage.
Their family — a brother, daughter and son — makes up about half of the community's population, and are among the few multi-generational families still residing in Old Sabine.
There's something about the place —perhaps a wild kind of beauty — that brought them here, and keeps them staying.
"When I was a roofing contractor, we worked in almost every state from Florida to Montana," Henderson said. "This is where we picked to live. There's not much of Old Sabine now, but we like it like that."

The San Jose State Spartans will attempt to regroup in Saturday's game against the UTSA Roadrunners.

Clippers Vs. Mavericks Game Preview
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
Posted Jan 08 2013 1:07PM
While their franchise-record winning streak came to an end earlier this month, the Los Angeles Clippers are hoping to keep another impressive run going a little longer.
The Clippers will try to extend their franchise-record home winning streak to 13 on Wednesday night when they host the struggling Dallas Mavericks.
Los Angeles (27-8 ), which owns the NBA's best record by a half-game over Oklahoma City, won a club-record 17 straight overall before back-to-back road losses at Denver and Golden State Jan. 1-2.
The Clippers, however, haven't stopped winning at home since suffering a 105-98 loss to New Orleans on Nov. 26. After beating the rival Lakers 107-102 on Friday to match the record of 11 established in 1978-79 - the franchise's first in San Diego - Los Angeles set the new mark with a 115-89 victory over the Warriors on Saturday.
"We've been pretty good at home," Chris Paul said. "It's all about our fans, and we feed off them. So we've got to keep making this a tough place to play."
Paul finished with 27 points and nine assists on Saturday despite exiting after Los Angeles had built a 96-60 lead with 2:40 left in the third quarter. The perennial All-Star has averaged 26.7 points on 55.1 percent shooting in his best three-game stretch of the season.
After averaging just 9.7 points while shooting 33.3 percent from the field in his previous three games, Blake Griffin has bounced back with 44 points on 17 for 28 shooting in his last two contests.
Griffin had 19 points and 13 rebounds in the Clippers' 112-90 victory over the visiting Mavericks on Dec. 5 as Los Angeles outscored Dallas 62-30 in the paint.
The Clippers rank among the league leaders in points in the paint (47.0 per game) and are 23-2 when they score at least 40 in the lane.
Los Angeles outscored its last two opponents 108-64 in the paint without shooting guard Jamal Crawford, who is again questionable after missing those contests because of a sore left foot.
Crawford, who had a game-high 20 points in the first meeting against Dallas (13-22), ranks among the top-scoring reserves in the NBA at 16.5 points per game.
The Clippers have averaged 107.1 points during their 12-game home streak, more than five points better than their season average (101.9). That's bad news for Dallas, which is 1-13 on the road when opponents score 100 points or more.
The Mavericks have lost eight of nine away from home and 12 of 14 overall, dropping their third straight with a 100-94 loss at Utah on Monday. Even with Dirk Nowitzki back in the lineup, Dallas has dropped nine of 10 - with its only win coming at league-worst Washington on Jan. 1.
"I know one thing: we're going to keep on pushing," said Nowitzki. "I'm going to keep on getting in better shape."
After scoring 11 points or fewer in his first five games back from knee surgery, Nowitzki has put up at least 19 in his last three.
The Mavericks have begun showing some signs of life offensively as Nowitzki has rounded into form, averaging 100.5 points on 45.6 percent shooting in January. They had averaged 92.3 points while shooting 42.5 percent in their final nine games in December.
The Clippers are seeking their fourth win in five games against Dallas following a 10-game skid in the series.
I guess this is what happens when we have a couple days off, a "coming soon" for the next game post.
Im glad we had so many days in betwen this game and our last. Hopefully Crawford is healthy enough to come back soon
Yes and maybe even Grant Hill too!
okc and san antonio lost last night. We have reclaimed the top spot just gotta maintain it.
Gotta play against the Mavs team, not their record. They can still be dangerous if we take them lightly. Take care of business early and they'll fold.
Dallas is downright awful this year especially on the road. They're worse than the Lakers though Dirk was out for most of their season. However, they also blew a good lead against Utah last night. I think their team will show up somewhat motivated, tomorrow's game being on national TV, but I really think we'll blitz them and sit our starters out the 4th yet again.
Then again, OKC just lost to the Wiz last night... anything can happen in this league. With a Mavs roster with this much talent (albeit a lot of them are over the hill), hopefully the Clips don't sleepwalk into tomorrow's game.
This should say "3 game win streak 'Coming Soon'"
Dirk Nowitzki is starting to play like Dirk Nowitzki. We should win handily if we play with intensity but it will be interesting seeing Dirk in action again.
i feel every game the clips play, the outcome is determined by the clips energy level. there is no excuse to come out flat, since they have had time to rest and practice. if the clips come out blasting early, we should put dallas away early, even with dirk. rebounding and taking care of the ball will carry the clips to victory
The clippers have won 15 of the last 16 at staples. Impressive
We've also won 12 straight at home, franchise record, let's make it 13.
I know I shouldn't say this.... but BG should be explode ALL OVER Dirk tomorrow!
Yes BG needs to take advantage of an old and hobbled Dirk coming of an injury.
I'm more worried about O.J. than I am Dirk. Mayo can make it rain and we don't like rain in LA LA Land
I think either one between Grant Hill and JC should come back tomorrow if not both of them
OJ Mayo struggles against good defensive teams and is very turnover prone.
Even a gimpy Dirk is much more of a threat.
I was about to say this could be a game the Clippers might overlook...but it is being nationally televised so hopefully our team will be pumped!
Go clippers !! We got this !! And the fakers keep losing I love it !!!
We are like 11-1 on nationally televised games. I think our guys get up for the games and I don't expect a letdown. Especially because we are coming off 3 days rest with time to practice and heal up a bit. Not to mention this is at home where the Clippers are 17-3. Clippers by 14.
i know, it almost sounds like the ending of an adult film.
I want to see Grant Hill for this game
Vegas odds Clippers-10.
''Blake Griffin explodes on Gasol''-Mike Tirico
any news on crawford or hill?
Crawford is playing, Hill is not
''Blake Griffin explodes on Gasol''-Mike Tirico
So that's why they call some dunks "facials".
sounds like a german porno hahahaha
Whew. Spurs hang on.
I think its safe to say Grant is playing on saturday
Here we go
Come on Butler
Alright lets try something different no more DJ isos lets do pick and rolls people
Geez DJ is so turnover prone.
Butler out please. Throwing bricks out there.
Why is DJ letting Kaman shoot? Get in his face and make him drive... dude commits a travel every time he does that.
Omg Butler. So bad....
DJ is the biggest cry baby on the roster. Just ignored coaches for high fives because he's mad he got pulled but then gave players some love. Although no clue why Vinny pulled DJ instead of Butler...
What in the Blue Hell is Butler doing out there?
Welcome back Jamal!
Wow Butler is an idiot sometimes.
IDIOT, get Butler's CLUMSY AS* OUT of there. POS
those were contested shots he starts reaching in those are fouls easy on him. We can live with Kaman taking tough shots he will go cold eventually long as a hand is up
These announcers are dry...
If you smellllllllll what the Rock is cookin.
Somebody remind me again how Butler continues to start? Barnes again comes in and does everything right immediately giving the team a boost. Butler and Green need to be on that damn bench.
Bricking shots, getting burned on defense and stupid TOs.... Hill please come back.
"Sometimes"? Explain to me how he's NOT been an idiot this game.
Odds that ALL of us turn on Butler and Green before end of the season? These guys just bring NOTHING to the team outside of occasionally getting hot once every 10 games. No defense, tons of unforced errors, no rebounding, ball stoppers.
What was called on Blake!? Dude got a great, clean block.

White fish are fish with light, white, flaky flesh whose main concentration of oils is located in the liver. They're naturally low in fat, and an excellent choice for those looking for a healthy option. An extremely large group of fish, white fish include important species such as cod, haddock and related, more sustainable species such as coley, pollack and pouting. It also includes all flatfish, some of the more under-used fish such as gurnard, grey mullet and sea bass, and many of the exotic species – the list is extensive.
Unlike the oil-rich species that are best eaten as fresh as possible, white fish can be stored for a little longer. Many white fish (cod, haddock, plaice and other flatfish) are gutted and placed onto ice shortly after capture: this helps extend their shelf-life. In some cases white fish actually tastes better once it's been left for a few days (as long as it is kept very cold on ice). When choosing white fish, look for bright eyes, red gills and a fresh smell; the fish should look bright and appealing. A white fish fillet should be a uniform colour with no discolouration and a pleasant smell.
Unwrap white fish and place it onto a plate in a single layer. Ideally, pack some ice or plastic ice blocks around the fish, then cover. Use as soon as possible. It's possible to freeze white fish. A whole fish should be prepared before it's frozen: gut the fish and remove the gills, or fillet the fish, but leave the skin on. Freeze single fish or two fillets in thick freezer bags, taking care to exclude air. Home freezing is effective for a short period of time, but aim to use the fish within six weeks. White fish can be cooked from frozen, but it takes a little longer.
Individual pieces suit some cooking methods better than others, but most white fish are versatile.

The Andover Townsman
---- — Andover adults have a chance to not just read about arts and crafts at Memorial Hall Library, but to try them out themselves.
Memorial Hall Library is inviting people to get creative this October with four adult programs featuring different hands-on craft and art projects.
"With the "Let's Create" series, come try something new, or learn more tips for something you already create. Participants will leave with a finished project from each program. There's still time for hand-made holiday presents, thank you cards, and hostess gifts," said a release from Emily Classon, community services librarian.
Space is limited for each program. To register, people are asked to visit mhl.org/eventcalendar or call 978-623-8401, Ext. 31 or 32.

Hofstra Law School and the Estate of Marian O. Naumburg have established The William R. Ginsberg Memorial Summer Fellowship in Environmental Law to honor the professor who taught at Hofstra for 29 years. The first recipient will be named in 2010.
"I am so proud that we are able to honor Professor William Ginsberg through this fellowship, which will give law students the opportunity to pursue a summer internship at the Natural Resources Defense Council, or other government or not-for-profit environmental organization," said Hofstra Law Dean Nora V. Demleitner. "This fellowship will pay tribute to Professor Ginsberg's life work, his dedication to Hofstra Law School, the environmental law field and the preservation of open space in New York and across the country."
The fellowship was announced in March, during the Annual William R. Ginsberg Memorial Alumni Dinner, hosted by Hofstra's Environmental Law Society (ELS) and presented in conjunction with the Energy and the Environment: Empowering Consumers conference.
As the Rivkin Radler Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law, Ginsberg was a highly respected and beloved teacher, scholar, mentor and activist. He joined the Hofstra Law faculty in 1974, creating the school's first course in environmental law during a time when no textbooks and few laws covered the subject. Professor Ginsberg is counted among the inventors of the field of environmental law and credited for inspiring its tremendous growth.
In addition to his teaching career, Professor Ginsberg worked in private practice and in government positions including two years as New York City's Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs under Mayor John Lindsay.
In 2007, Hofstra Law School acquired Professor Ginsberg's papers, which are a resource for those interested in the evolution and development of environmental law and land use policy over the last 30 years. The collection, a generous gift from Professor Ginsberg's family, includes a wide range of publications in environmental law and land use, as well as some of his personal papers. The materials were added to books and papers Professor Ginsberg donated to Hofstra's Barbara and Maurice A. Deane Law Library to create the William R. Ginsberg Special Collection.

The Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University is located 40 minutes from New York City in suburban Long Island. Hofstra Law is home to nearly 850 students, an alumni base of more than 10,600 members and a distinguished faculty of more than 50 professors, including many scholars recognized as national and international experts in their field. The law school is part of Hofstra University and is fully accredited by the Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association.
