Charities run out of money – just when they need it most
Recession takes its toll on donations to good causes
Tuesday 17 March 2009
Charities and voluntary organisations are experiencing a damaging drop in funding at a time when the increasingly volatile economic situation will create a greater need for charitable work, a series of gloomy reports have warned.
Plummeting share prices, cancelled direct debit donations and a weak pound are seriously undermining the voluntary sector's efforts to provide relief at a time when the services that charities offer are in particularly high demand.
Figures released by the Charity Commission today show that more than half of all Britain's charities are now suffering as a direct result of the economic situation, up from 38 per cent six months ago, when the recession had yet to hit home.
At the same time, at least a fifth of all charities have seen an increase in demand for their services. Dame Suzi Leather, who is chairman of the Charity Commission, said the impact of the financial downturn on charities was now widening and deepening. "Some charities still face that double whammy of a drop in income as well as an increased demand for services," she added.
There are also growing concerns that the public has become less willing to donate as belts are tightened during times of economic hardship.
Rapidata, which handles more than four million direct debit transactions for the charitable sector, said cancellations of monthly donations "skyrocketed" after the collapse of Northern Rock last summer and that donations have continued to decrease since. Its latest figures reveal that direct debit cancellations in December were 67 per cent higher than the average pre-recession December.
Charities have lost an estimated £32.4m from cancelled subscriptions over the past 10 months, the company said. Direct debits account for about £2.5bn of private donations to charities each year.
Scott Gray, the managing director of Rapidata, said: "We've had a very close look at these figures and what they suggest is that the monthly cancellation rates during 2008 were so high that they were not likely to have been subject to the same factors influencing cancellations before the credit crunch hit."
The voluntary sector has asked the Government to provide assistance. In February, the Government announced a £42.5m bailout, which was less than a tenth of the £500m that struggling charities said they needed to ride out the recession. The money will only go to those charities that are dealing with the direct fallout of the recession, leaving many organisations forced to battle the credit crunch on their own.
Recent research by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations showed cash donations to charities fell by £367m to £1.3bn in 2007-08 compared to 2006-07.
Phil Lloyd at the Dame Hannah Rogers Trust, which provides therapy and care for children with profound disabilities in Devon and Cornwall, said demand for its charitable services increased by 73 per cent over the past year, but donations had dropped by a third over the same period. "As even tougher times threaten, charities face many difficulties," he said. "Running costs have risen and falling property prices diminish the value of legacies. Add to that a reduction in not only public but corporate donations as businesses hit the reality of recession."
St Luke's Hospice in Plymouth, which cares for more than 2,000 terminally ill patients every year at a cost of more than £5m, is facing a £500,000 shortfall because of knock-on effects on the charity's investments, which have reduced in value by £120,000, and has had to make a number of staff redundant.
Acorns: 'Making redundancies has been heartbreaking'
Acorns is a charity with three children's hospices in the West Midlands caring for 600 desperately ill patients. Despite the publicity it received when Aston Villa agreed to display the Acorns logo on club shirts for nothing this season, the charity has experienced a decline in donations.
David Strudley, Acorns' chief executive, explains why it is now having to make 14 staff redundant: "In the course of about six weeks before Christmas corporate and private donations just dried up. It was like suddenly going over a cliff. It was so quick and so fast.
"We did some fundraising over Christmas which provided, but it hasn't cured the problem. What we've found is that the number of donations hasn't declined, but the amount of money coming in has. We now need to make about £1.5m in savings, so we're having to let a few people go which is heartbreaking.
"Our main priority is to keep our beds operating for those who need them most. But we make no secret of the fact that the next year is about riding out this recession and coming out the other end intact."
The amount that British charities have lost through cancelled payments over the past 10 months.

The Prince
When Machiavelli's brief treatise on Renaissance statecraft and princely power was posthumously published in 1532, it generated a debate that has raged unabated until the present day. Based upon Machiavelli's first-hand experience as an emissary of the Florentine Republic to the courts of Europe, The Prince analyses the usually violent means by which men seize, retain, and lose political power. Machiavelli added a dimension of incisive realism to one of the major philosophical and
political issues of his time, especially the relationship between public deeds and private morality. His book provides a remarkably uncompromising picture of the true nature of power, no matter in what era or by whom it is exercised.
This fluent new translation is accompanied by comprehensive notes and an introduction that considers the true purpose of The Prince and dispels some of the myths associated with it. - ;Literary scholar Peter Bondanella rightly seeks the cold elegance and readability of the original. Serious English readers will want both translations. - Lauro Martines, TLSless

2011 Critics' Choice Awards: Eva Mendes
by Fashion 7 Reactions 1 Shares Print
Eva Mendes stepped onto the carpet looking beautiful and boudoir-ready — she's wearing a deceptively sheer lace Valentino dress, nude Brian Atwood pumps, and clustered earrings. She kept her hair and makeup simple, opting for a loose ponytail, gunmetal shadow, and soft pink blush — so the focus is kept on that sexy dress. What do you think of Eva's look?

Today American Samoa joins the rest of the United States and Americans around the world as we celebrate Thanksgiving Day; a national holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November established by federal legislation in 1941.
Prior to 1941, it was an annual tradition in the United States by presidential proclamation since 1863 and by state legislation since colonial times, with George Washington proclaiming the first National Day of Thanksgiving in 1789, and Abraham Lincoln reviving the tradition during the Civil War.

Al-Shehri asked the Appellate Court to "recheck" 14 names she provided in her complaint, wherein she alleges that some people who are off-island voted in the last election.

Police Bill draws criticism
Saturday 18 December 1993
Other parts of the Police and Magistrates' Courts Bill have also attracted anger across the criminal justice system. The Bill, announced in the Queen's Speech, sets out a framework which Michael Howard, the Home Secretary, said yesterday would make the police more efficient and cut crime. But he said that its success could not be measured by crime statistics alone.
It combines the White Paper on police reform, published earlier this year, some parts of the Sheehy Report on policing adopted by the Home Office, and the new arrangements for disciplinary procedures, announced in September.
The key change involves reducing all police authorities to 16-member free-standing bodies, with eight local councillors, three magistrates and five members and the chairman appointed centrally. For now, authorities can have more than 30 members and are either county council committees or formed from several district councils. A third of their members are magistrates.
The bitterest criticism has come from the Association of Chief Police Officers. John Smith, its president, said the combination of Home Office appointed chairmen, the setting of objectives and the placing of chief constables on fixed-term contracts threatened to undermine local policing.
Chief constables fear a Home Secretary could use an authority chairman to put undue pressure on senior officers fearful of losing their jobs. Currently, chief constables have total operational independence and security of tenure.
Attacking the Bill for simply grabbing headlines, Tony Blair, the Labour spokesman for home affairs, said it was a 'fundamental error in principle and strategy, a retrograde step which takes policing in the opposite direction to the one which it needs'.
In a joint statement, the Association of County Councils and the Association of Metropolitan Authorities, criticised the Bill for proposing too few elected members and said the overall size of the new authorities would be too small for larger areas.
Ian Lowrie, their spokesman, said the appointment of five members and the chairman by the Home Secretary was 'a breach of normal democratic procedures and a dangerous step in the direction of a national police force'.
The Home Office has defended its proposals against criticisms of centralisation by emphasising the measures designed to improve local accountability. Critics of the often cosy relationship between some police authorities and chief constables will welcome the provisions ordering authorities to set local objectives, provide annual reports and respond to criticism by the Inspectorate of Constabulary. Authorities will also have to issue a local policing plan.
Chief constables and local authorities are also pleased at the provision in the Bill which will give them freedom to allocate resources within an overall budget. They will no longer have to apply to the Home Office for manpower increases or permission to spend money on small capital projects.
The discipline proposals will end the right to silence of police officers under investigation, take away their legal representation and create a five-stage system of dealing with officers who have not been accused of disciplinary offences, but are considered inefficient.
Chief constables will be able to instantly dismiss any officer accused of committing a serious offence if sufficient evidence is available. These proposals have prompted widespread anger among lower ranking officers, who say they undermine the rights of those under investigation and allow chief officers to exercise grudges.
New free-standing, 16-member police authorities;
Home Secretary to issue key policing objectives;
Freedom for authorities and chief constables to allocate resources within a cash limited grant;
New powers to simplify amalgamation of forces;
Abolition of deputy chief constable rank as recommended by Sheehy. Other rank changes and introduction of fixed-term contracts for chief constables will follow as amended regulations;
Inspectorate of Constabulary formally extended to cover Metropolitan Police;
New informal discipline procedures;
Proposals to improve the performance of magistrates' courts committees.

Essay: `It's a hard life wherever you go' for the last, great, folk heroine
Spurned by radio, America's traditional music is struggling just to survive. That it has made it this far is largely the work of Nanci Griffith. Jasper Rees on the life of that `Daft Woman'
Sunday 29 November 1998
This folk encyclopaedia made flesh is accompanying Nanci Griffith on a short tour of Dublin, Glasgow and London, where, tonight and tomorrow, they will round off the Barbican's Inventing America season. In total 23 musicians have assembled to mark the release of Other Voices, Too: A Trip Back to Bountiful, Griffith's second volume of cover songs from the rich folk tradition in American music. The first volume, Other Voices, Other Rooms, won her a Grammy five years ago.
You don't want to enquire to closely about the average age of the Dublin ensemble. At the rehearsal I got talking to one of the younger-looking musicians at the side of the stage. He turned out to be Ian Matthews, who joined Fairport Convention in 1967. He is now 52. Griffith routinely refers to these repositories of musical wisdom as "our elders". At 44, she is just abut the youngest person on stage. That's quite an age to be a spring chicken, as her recent health record testifies. She was operated on for breast cancer two years ago, and last month finished a course of radiotherapy to deal with thyroid cancer.
Ageism is the battle that folk music has been fighting ever since a conservative music industry decided to distance itself from a left-leaning genre in the early 1970s. All these musicians will ruefully tell you that folk is the F word. Some time after Dylan went electric, folkies were rebranded singer-songwriters, while the term folk gathered dust on the shelf.
Griffith convened the Other Voices project to blow away the cobwebs. For a dozen or so years Griffith, a songbird with a country accent, has been the folk singer people on both sides of the Atlantic have used as a route map round the territory. She in turn has deployed her own musical standing to exhume the reputation of folk composers who have found it hard to find a modern audience. "She's done things for all of us," enthuses Carolyn Hester in the wings of the Olympia. "I've never experienced anything like it. There's no ego here. Everybody is helping each other."
The plan with Other Voices, Too is to revisit a specific period from pop's innocent past in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was a time when, says Griffith, "folk, rock'n'roll and the blues all merged on a very commercial level on radio. They weren't singled out or put into any cubby hole at all. They were just hits. We want to say, `Hey, it played on the radio just fine. Why all of a sudden do you say it can't be played on the radio?' "
Radio is music's oxygen. Griffith sings of its liberating influence in "Listen To The Radio", one of her best known songs, which doubles as a tribute to the gritty Nashville diva Loretta Lynn. It tells of a woman who leaves her brutal husband and drives out of town with the radio on. These days she wouldn't be able to find a decent radio station to listen to - certainly none that plays Lynn or Griffith or Griffith's guests on either album.
On the first album the guest list included such luminaries as Dylan, John Prine, Woody Guthrie's son Arlo, Guy Clark, Chet Atkins, Emmylou Harris and Leo Kottke. For the follow-up Griffith summoned an even heavier brigade, most of the above, plus half of Texas - Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, the Crickets, Griffith's ex-husband Eric Taylor - sundry survivors from the 35-year-old Village scene, plus a sprinkling of British folkies, led by Richard Thompson. But it's largely the recruitment of Van Ronk, on the album and on tour, that gives the project its scholarly patina. An old-looking 62, Van Ronk is the closest folk music gets to its own professor. You can practically see the thought-bubble floating above his head framing the question, what precisely is folk music?
"The appellation has always been problematic," Van Ronk explains in a dingy kitchen backstage. "You can get 10 scholars in a room and get 15 different definitions of what folk music is. I myself have a very strict definition. It's traditional music passed on orally. The minute you know who wrote it, it ain't folk music."
According to those parameters, not much on Griffith's two anthologies qualify. Luckily, Griffith's take on folk is generous enough to embrace almost every generic shade.
"Folk music to me is a great broad sense of things," she says. "It is the writer who is capable of capturing their social time and climate, in which they live, to pass on to the next generation." By her lights, even rap music qualifies in a broad church sheltering Van Ronk's minutely exclusive sect.
But whichever way you slice it, folk is old timer's music: hand-me-down tunes can't be handed down until one generation has spawned another one to hand it down to. Griffith tells a signal story of recording with Ian Tyson, one half of the 1960s folk duo Ian and Sylvia, for Other Voices, Too. "We started singing together, and Ian said, `How can she do this? She's matching my phrasing and singing it word for word with me.' Jim (Rooney, the producer) just looked at him and said, `Do you think she didn't listen to you from the cradle? She knows every nuance of your voice.' " That's your folk tradition in action. It's also your proof positive of the brittle morale in the folk community. Tyson 65, couldn't quite believe that even Griffith would be intimate with his singing style. In effect, the two Other Voices albums attempt to turn up the volume on the fading soundtrack of Griffith's youth.
Her antecedents were musical. As a preacher between the wars her great- grandfather, a Welsh veteran of both sides in the American Civil War, led a church quartet with his sons. Nanci was brought up in Austin, Texas, by parents she describes as "beatniks". They moved in artistic circles but, it seems, always the same ones. "They had very different tastes in things. My father would go to a coffee house to listen to folk music and my mother would go hear a swing band." He was into country; she hated it, and still does. "When I wrote `Ford Econoline'," says Griffith of one of her twangier compositions, "my mother said, `I dislike that song so much'."
Her parents separated when she was six. She acknowledges that musical differences may have signalled a deeper incompatibility. They seemed to agree on only one thing, that Nanci didn't need much looking after. There was no custody agreement, and in the place of parental authority there was "total neglect". From the age of 12 to l6 she and a boyfriend truffled the dung-enriched fields outside Austin for magic mushrooms. She was also dyslexic. "I learnt to type on mushrooms," she says. "I was a terrible student but I excelled in that because I could get into this rhythm." The boyfriend drove his motorbike into a tree at l6 and died. Griffith moved to her sister's in Houston. You can still hear the echo of this and other trials - her parents' divorce; her violent marriage to Taylor, a heroin addict and Vietnam survivor; her ten largely homeless years driving from bar gig to bar gig all over America - in Griffith's songs of loneliness and loss and cussed self-sufficiently.
But there were consolations in a beatnik upbringing. Her conquest of dyslexia deepened her love of reading. On three of her album covers she is clutching books as if they're badges of achievement. Other Voices, Other Rooms takes its title from Truman Capote's first novel, which she ecstatically hugs in the cover shot. Reading, as well as her father's guiding taste, may in turn have sent her in the direction of folk, because no other type of music so clearly aspires to the condition of literature (often, it must be said, to the detriment of melodic invention).
Why Capote? "Because he and Tennessee Williams wrote prose that read like poetry. When Truman wrote the book it was really about finding one's own roots and facing them." So it goes. The sub-title of the second volume "came from Horton Foote's film A Trip to Bountiful, which is about an elderly woman's venture to try to get to her home town, because that's where all things started".
If folk music, like the literature of the US South, is largely a matter of where you come from, there's a perfect encapsulation of that on Other Voices, Too. "Wasn't That A Mighty Storm" - in Griffith's version a rip- roaring gospel anthem for 40 famous voices - is so atavistic that even Van Ronk is prepared to call if folk. " No one knows who wrote it," says Griffith. "It's an oral history that was passed on and ended up in the Library of Congress in the archives." It tells of the storm on 18 September 1900 that destroyed the Texan harbour at Galveston. After New York, Galveston was the second port of entry to America, and several of Griffith's ancestors - from Cardiff and Aberdeen - first set foot on American soil on the Galveston dock. The storm, says Griffith, "is probably the most famous hurricane in America, because it was so destructive. Every time I've read about what's been going on in Central America, I've seen the storm of 1900 referred to. " When Griffith sings it, she thinks of her 101-year-old grandmother, "knowing that she doesn't remember it because she was too young". And that'll do as a working definition of folk: the historical rooted in the personal routed through the musical and the topical.
The oddity of the umbilicus linking Griffith to her roots is that she is a prophet without honour in the Lone Star State.
She recently wrote to several Texan publications to complain of consistently bad reviews. "I'm the only native female songwriter that's every gone across the Red River and made something of herself. I totally get ignored because I don't fit the mould. I'm not a good old boy, I don't wear hats, I don't wear boots. I don't play the game. I wrote a letter to the editor of the Austin Chronicle and said, `I've taken 20 years of your abuse. I'm very upset about it. Leave me alone.' They said, `This is what we expect of this daft woman.' " So she doesn't yearn to make the trip back to Bountiful so much that she'll actually go and live there.
The "daft woman" has been described elsewhere as America's tuning fork. The last person of whom that was said is Pete Seeger. Like Seeger, whose band the Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy hearings, part of Griffith's essence as a folk singer is that she can make enemies. But it's a skill that most folk singers have lost, which may explain why folk music is now on the life-support machine of Griffith's patronage. The battles for civil and workers' rights have been won; the hammer of justice in Seeger's "The Hammer Song", which closes Other Voices, Too, has helped shape a society that folk singers can't really grumble about.
In the course of our conversation Griffith's vents her spleen on an array of topical issues, the Starr Report, Christian fundamentalism, women's issues. But not much of this surfaces in her work. The song with which she closes most shows, and the one that should be around in 100 years, is "It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go". But it doesn't say anything new, or not according to her 101-year-old grandmother. "As far as she's concerned," says Griffith, "it's the most important piece of music I've ever written. It just showed that I was paying attention when she was talking to me."

No. 8 Penn St women beat Howard 72-61 in opener

AP Sports Writer
Maggie Lucas scored 25 points and No. 8 Penn State's pressure defense sparked a late first-half run to take control in a 72-61 win Sunday over Howard in the season opener.
The Lady Lions finished the first half on a 14-0 run after forcing turnovers on six straight Howard possessions. Lucas and backcourt mate Alex Bentley poked balls away for steals for easy transition buckets to help Penn State turn a six-point deficit with 4:42 left into a 39-31 lead at the half.
Bentley finished with 14 points and seven steals - six in the first half.
Saadia Doyle had 36 points to lead the Lady Bison, who took advantage of early Penn State miscues with good ball movement in halfcourt sets.
But Howard withered under Penn State's stifling backcourt pressure. Bentley and Lucas are big reasons why Penn State is the favorite to repeat as Big Ten champions.
The crowd showered Penn State with applause after the team raised the new Big Ten championship banner and posed with the trophy in a pregame ceremony.
It took them a while to play like the defending champs against the Lady Bison, the preseason favorite in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
Cabria Johnson sparked Howard with two open 3s from the left wing, and Penn State looked lost in the halfcourt defensively at times with the Lady Bison consistently finding open players in the lane despite a decided size disadvantage. Howard's tallest starters were 6-footers Nicole Deterville and Kara Smith.
Doyle's layup on the break gave Howard a 31-25 lead to silence the Penn State fans with less than 5 minutes left in the first half.
"Let's go! Right here," Penn State assistant coach Fred Chmiel yelled, trying to get his lifeless team to make a defensive stop.
It seemed to provide a spark. Nickson picked up a defensive rebound and got the ball to Bentley, who then found Lucas in transition for a straight-on 3 to get Penn State within 31-30.
The backcourt pressure picked up from there with Bentley and Lucas leading the way. The defense forced a couple more turnovers off inbounds plays and turned them into easy baskets.
Lucas finished off the first-half spurt with an off-balance layup, pumping both arms and yelling to the crowd as the Lady Lions jogged back to the locker room finally in control of the contest.
Penn State pounded the ball inside to hold Howard at bay in the second half. Six-foot-2 Mia Nickson finished with a double-double (14 points, 10 rebounds), including 10 points and six boards in the second half.
Doyle finished 9 of 21 shooting and hit 17 of 23 from the foul line. Jerrelle Gorham had five points and six rebounds but lost 10 turnovers.

Fish 'n Chips - Food of Life
Oh how I crave for fish 'n chips:
Our fine cuisine of world renown.
I dined on such a subtle dish
When QEII received her crown.
Oh how I need some fish 'n chips;
I'll queue in pouring rain or snow!
What better way to warm my hands,
As soggy chips make fingers glow.
We Brits are famed for culinary finesse,
Like steak 'n kidney pud no less;
Wondrous tripe; cottage pie;
Bangers and egg in lard to fry!
But fish 'n chips - the crowning glory -
A dish to trounce the great kebab!
You think I care for chicken masala?
It's cod and chips that grow my flab.
Oh how I yearn for fish 'n chips,
All poshly wrapped in the Daily Star,
Then caked and drowned in salt 'n vinegar -
And stinking out my brand new car!

Bill would let Vt. deputies unionizeMarch 14,2013Bill would let Vt.
deputies unionize
MONTPELIER A Vermont House committee is looking at legislation that would allow deputy states attorneys, deputy sheriffs and support staff in their offices unionize.
The House General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee took testimony Wednesday on the measure, with the head of a statewide group of states attorneys and sheriffs urging it to proceed with caution.
Bram Kranichfeld, the associations executive director, said there were too many questions about the hybrid governance of Vermonts states attorneys and sheriffs offices.
Historically functions of county government, offices have been coming under increasing state control. But their employees are not part of the Vermont State Employees Association.
Supporters of the union effort say the employees have been shortchanged on pay, and need a voice in negotiating working conditions.MORE IN Vermont NewsHorse farm owner Full StoryVTC says layoffs Full StoryFeature on a charm necklace that belonged to the late, great Lola Aiken Full Story

Arsenal target Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has ended speculation over his future by signing a new deal at Bundesliga side Schalke.
The Dutch international's future has been the subject of conjecture with his existing contract due to expire at the end of this season.

Huntelaar was happy to pledge his future to Schalke after signing a two-year contract extension.
"I have thought long and hard about this decision and I am very grateful to my managers of FC Schalke have given this time. But now I have made the decision in which I have the best feeling," Huntelaar told the club's official website.
