The ALA Youth Media Awards will be announced tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. CT in Chicago (that's 9 a.m. for Martha and me). Here is a link to the live webcast.
Watching online is not quite the same as being in that huge ballroom full of book-loving early risers, fizzing with anticipation and hoping their favorite new books are about to be named. With luck, the microphone will pick up some of the reactions in the audience.
Robin will be right there in the room for the announcements. Martha and I will be in our own homes surrounded by the March book review section because we're expecting ANOTHER foot or more of snow tonight and tomorrow.
Wherever you are, we will post the winners on this blog ASAP so we can all react to the announcements together.
The post Caldecott Award live appeared first on The Horn Book.
It's Super Bowl Sunday - a good day for blogging, making my Super Bowl Sunday chili and watching…Downton Abbey. But this morning has also been a good time to straighten up my book shelves, which hasn't been done in a long, long time. As I was working, I came across two little books published by Whitman - they really are little, only 3 5/8" X 4 1/2". One is called Skeezix Goes to War (1943) and it's based on daily comic strips that ran in the newspapers in 1942-1943.
I probably bought it because Gasoline Alley has been one of my favorite comic strips ever since I first started reading them, but it has been around for a lot longer than my lifetime. It officially began November 24, 1918 in the Sunday funnies of the Chicago Tribune, in a feature called The Rectangle, written and drawn by Frank King:
Chicago Tribune November 24, 1918 - Gasoline Alley int he bottom panel |
It was an appealing comic strip, and began to gain in popularity, but not with women. The Chicago Tribune wasn't happy about that and told King to do something that would make Gasoline Alley appeal to women. So, on February 14, 1921, Walt Wallet is awakened by his doorbell ringing in the middle of the night:
Gasoline Alley February 14, 1921 |
Gasoline Alley November 4, 1928 Skeezix around age 7 |
Gasoline Alley December 24, 1941 |
Gasoline Alley January 16, 1942 |

My name is Matthew and I am a Norton Critical Edition addict.
Hardly a term has gone by without my assigning students at least one NCE, both when I was a high school teacher and especially now that I'm teaching college students. (This term, it's The Red Badge of Courage.) I have been known to change syllabi each term just to try out new NCEs with students. I have bought NCEs for myself even of books that I already owned in multiple other editions. I have all four editions of the NCE of Heart of Darkness because the changes between them fascinate me. (I've been meaning to write a blog post or essay of some sort about those changes. I'll get to it one day.)
Anton Chekhov is my favorite writer, a writer whose work I've been reading and thinking about for all of my adult life. The Norton Critical Editions of Chekhov's stories and plays published in the late 1970s remained unchanged until Laurence Senelick's Selected Plays came out in 2004, and then, finally, last year Cathy Popkin's Selected Stories. Senelick's collection is good, and probably all that the average reader needs, though I'm more partial to Senelick's true masterpiece, the Complete Plays, which is awe-inspiring.
Popkin's Selected Stories is something more again, and easily the best single-volume collection of Chekhov in English. This is the place to start if you've never read Chekhov, and it's a great resource even for seasoned Chekhovians. I'll go further than that, actually: Because of the critical apparatus, this is a great resource for anyone interested in fiction, translation, and/or writing; and it is one of the most interesting Norton Critical Editions I know, almost as impressive as my favorite NCEs, Things Fall Apart and The English Bible.
Popkin made the interesting and valuable choice to not only include stories from multiple translators (including new commissions), but to foreground the act of translation by including helpful descriptions of each translator's approach and methodology, as well as short passages from multiple stories in numerous translations for comparison:
sample of the Comparison Passages section |
Further, Popkin frequently offers a perspective on the translation of an individual story in the first footnote for it, and sometimes in subsequent footnotes that point out particular choices the translator made.
The foregrounding of translation allows Popkin to bring in essays in the critical section that focus on Chekhov as a stylist, something Ralph Matlaw, editor of the previous edition, specifically avoided because he thought it made no sense to talk about "since the subtleties of Chekhov's style are lost in translation." Popkin's contention is that this no longer needs to be true, if it ever was.
What we have here, then, is not only a book of Chekhov stories plus some biographical and critical material, but a book about aesthetics and writing. One of the critical disputes that Popkin highlights, both in her introduction and in her selection of essays, is a longstanding one between critics who believe every detail in the stories has a particular purpose and function, and critics who believe that Chekhov's art (and philosophy) resides in the very extraneousness and randomness of some of his details. There is, as Popkin notes, no solution to this question, and plenty of readers (I'm one of them) believe that in a certain way both interpretations can be correct — but the value here is that Popkin is able to make the critical dispute one that is not only about Chekhov, but about writing, realism, and the reader's experience of the text. Attentive readers of this Selected Stories will thus not only gain knowledge of Chekhov's work, but will also participate in the exploration of aesthetics: the aesthetics of the stories as well as the aesthetics of translation.
Inevitably, I have one complaint and a few quibbles. The complaint is that the physical book is terribly bound — the binding of my copy broke when I opened it, and continued to break whenever I opened to anything in the middle of the book. No pages have yet fallen out, but they could soon. This is unusual for a Norton book — The English Bible is huge and only one year older than Selected Stories and its bindings (2 big volumes) are very strong; my copy of the 1979 NCE of Chekhov's stories, purchased at the earliest 15 years ago, seems unbreakable. I hope the problem with this new book is an anomaly.
My quibbles are purely those of anyone who has their own particular favorites among Chekhoviana. I detest Ronald Hingley's imperialist atrocities of translations, and though I know they're necessary for this volume because they offer such stark contrast to other translations, why why why did Popkin have to include Hingley's translation of perhaps my favorite Chekhov story, "Gusev"?! At least she could have included somebody — anybody! — else's translation alongside it. (Indeed, I think it would have been helpful for the book to choose one complete story to offer in multiple translations. "Gusev" is probably too long, but Chekhov wrote a number of quite short stories that have been translated numerous times.)
The selection of stories in this edition is almost completely superior to Matlaw's, but it's unfortunate to lose the 1886 story "Dreams", which seems to me a perfect encapsulation of Chekhov's style between his early humorous sketches and his later, longer stories ... but it's easily available elsewhere.
One significant improvement Popkin makes over Matlaw's previous edition is the inclusion of some of Chekhov's longer stories, most significantly "Ward No. 6" and "In the Ravine", two of his most important works. The book is already almost 700 pages, so obviously novellas such as "My Life" and "The Steppe" — hugely important, original, difficult, complex, breathtaking works — wouldn't fit without bumping out a lot of other worthwhile material, but still I pine. Perhaps Selected Stories will be successful enough that Norton will consider a Critical Edition called Chekhov's Novellas...
Finally, it might have been nice to include something on the adaptation of Chekhov's stories to theatre, film, and television — though of course his plays are more frequently adapted, some of the better adaptations are of the short stories, and there's been at least a little bit of critical attention to that. Adaptation is another form of translation, and it would have been interesting to consider that further within the frame that Popkin set up.
But really, these are the inevitable, unimportant quibbles of the sort that any anthology causes in a reader familiar with the territory. Popkin's edition of the Selected Stories is a book to celebrate and savor, and it gets so many things right that it is churlish to complain about any of it. Even the cover is a smart, appropriate choice: a painting by Chekhov's friend Isaac Levitan.
This book is clearly the result of lots of love for Chekhov, and as such I can only love it back.

Every year on February 2nd we celebrate Groundhog Day. On this day Americans await for the groundhog to emerge from his burrow to predict how much winter is left for the year. If it's cloudy and he doesn't see his shadow, then spring will come early, but if it's sunny and he does see his shadow then we will have six more weeks of winter.
The first and largest Groundhog Day takes place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania where Phil the Punxsutawney Groundhog has been predicting the weather since 1886. The day is celebrated with large crowds, music and food as they wait for Phil to make his debut.

As inspired and creatively enthusiastic as we are, there are times when we can't be as fully creative as we want to be. Whether you're a creative pro taking a break after long hours at the drawing board, working a day job during the day or you've got to take time away from your creative life because of school. These things happened and we have to prioritize other things over our creativity.
However have you found when the pencils, paint brushes, graphics tablet or camera are put down, we don't quite know what to do with ourselves. We're creatively restless and eager to do anything but relax or what we're supposed to. So to sooth your creative side whilst taking a break or trying to focus on other life to-do's, here are a few small ways you can be creative in even the smallest ways everyday:
- Doodle while you're on the phone ( comes in handy when you're stuck on hold)
- Write a quirky quote as your twitter or facebook
- Doodle on the fridge ( grab a black wipe away board pen and have fun)
- Snap some pictures on your phone whilst you're on your travels
- Write or draw something quirky in the sand or snow ( if you have snow where you are!)
- Doodle on your ipad whilst sitting on the bus or train
- Grab a pack of sticky notes and jot down your creativity anywhere ( maybe leave it for someone else to find?)
- Doodle on a napkin whilst you're in that coffee shop whilst waiting for a friend or meeting.
- Sketch what you wore that day ( if you're a lover of fashion)
- Find inspiration in the little things and make a quick 2 minute sketch of it ( it might become an illustration or pattern later on)
What do you do everyday to stay that little bit creative?

The secret history of gorillas in the UK -before they were officially 'discovered'. The history of the Wild men of Europe, the UK and US: something that in the 1800s become very "pop culture" Very pop culture and totally forgotten today!
Hominology. Sasquatch and Bigfoot -is there evidence for their existence? No sitting on the fence here -the Patterson-Gimlin film is looked at as well as other evidence. The Author's conclusions? You might be surprised.
Giant snakes. Amazons. The Giant serpent of Carthage. The Girt Dog of Ennerdale -another big cult 'creature' amongst paranormal and cryptozoological circles. The Beast of Gevaudan -what was it and were there really descendents of the creature in the 19th century -one of which was actually brought to London?
Believe it or not more than one incident of historical crocodiles cases in the UK. In fact, far more than even the Author had thought .
And, after more than a century of claims by 'researchers' that it no longer exists: The Silent City of Alaska and the near legendary 'lost' photograph taken of it.
This and much more. Updated with extra pages and photographs.

Story connects us in ways we will never know. This just in: here is a letter passed on to me from a friend who gave REVOLUTION to her 72-year-old aunt in Texas. It now becomes a primary source document for future researchers. Just as important, it serves to show how a heart becomes awake and aware in the world. I was the storyteller for Mary, and now Mary is the storyteller for me. This is how it works. I am grateful. xo Debbie
January 23
Oh, Sally,
Thank you so much for making me aware of Revolution. It has unleashed a torrent of conflicting emotions and memories in me, none of which were completely forgotten, but largely dormant.
On one hand, it reads like a barn burner, and I do not want to put it down. I love the way she worked photographs, gospel and folk song lyrics, and headlines as page dividers creating a sense of the onslaught of information which occurred that summer. (It does remind me of your saying fiction can sometimes convey events better than dry history. But she does include a lot of what to me is not dry history.)
On the other hand, because of the flood of memories and the poignant strength of the emotions they evoke in me, I can only read it in segments, sometimes as much as a chapter, but usually less. Than I have to meditate on what is happening in me, in the story, and in our country now.
Since it was published by Scholastic Press, I guess it is geared to middle schoolers. My only sorrow is that many adults who would benefit from tumbling into its pages will not find out what they are missing....
For myself, I read the book on about five levels. Four come from memories: the first as a middle schooler, one in high school, one the summer after graduation from college (1963), and one in 1964 when I was at the Democratic Convention in Atlantic City. The fifth is that of an aging Democrat who worked the phones for Obama in 2008, delighted in our long-term success.
The student at Gilmer Junior High got in the car with your grandfather, heard the news about Brown vs Topeka on NBC news (and later CBS) and asked Grampy, "Does that mean I will be going to school with colored kids?"
In high school, I heard Larry Pittmon and others threaten to get baseball bats and beat up N----rs who tried to come to Gilmer High. An elderly Black had died, and the relatives who went to California and elsewhere had come to town in their finest to attend the funeral. This was at the same time that the Airborne and the National Guard were confronting each other at Central High School, Little Rock. In our ignorance of how groups like COFO would operate, rumor had it that the fancy dressed black people were members of the NAACP planning to integrate the school.
The summer of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, I had attended a workshop by the National Conference of Christians and Jews and then stayed in Dallas to learn typing at a business school. Having no TV of my own, I went to the apartment complex recreation building to watch the march. That night I joined one of the Black members of my class with her boy friend in the Hall Street Ghetto in Dallas for supper. We talked for hours about what that huge crowd meant for the future of Blacks in America.
The next summer, after my rookie year as a Dallas public school teacher, I had a job with the State Department in July and August, 1964. Mother and Daddy honored my experiences in college in a sit-in on the SMU campus and in that workshop the year before by letting me write the editorial response of The Gilmer Mirror to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (the Public Accomodations Act).
Then I traveled to DC in late June, went to the White House as a guest of Lady Bird and Lyndon the night of my 23rd birthday, and went to work in the Personnel Department of the State Department.
Unlike the volunteers at Freedom Summer who sweltered in Mississippi, I got to go to the cool serenity of the Washington National Cathedral and hear a mixed choir of over 250 voices sing in thanksgiving of the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
I read the headlines in the Washington Post about their efforts as I went to Capitol Hill to see the War on Poverty legislation accepted in the US Senate after the House had approved their portion.
Selling pennants and buttons to raise funds for the Democratic Party as a Young Person for LBJ, I met youths from Philadelphia, MS who were there with representatives of the Freedom Democratic Party of Mississippi. When they learned my mother was a delegate, they lobbied me to ask her to vote for their group to be seated.
I told Nana about them, but LBJ was trying to court Mississippi votes, and did not want to ruffle more feathers until after the election. She of course did what LBJ wanted.
It would be four years later when I had promised Nana I would take the first job I was offered that I went to work for the Dallas OIC. You know what an impact that had on me. I was tempted by the Peace Corps, but Nana would never have let me go to an undeveloped country. I always think the Lord had a hand in the fact that OIC gave me my first job offer after grad school.
Well, enough meditation for now. I still have half the book to read, and I am mentally compiling a list of people to make aware of it. I definitely will see to it our Intermediate and Junior High Schools as well as the Upshur County Library have copies.
If you with to share these reflections with your friend, the author, you are welcome to do so. I am so proud you made me aware of it. Thank you so very much.

The Inflectionist Review is a small press publishing stark and distinctive contemporary poetry that fosters dialog between the reader and writer, between words and their meanings, between ambiguity and concept. Each issue gathers established and emerging voices together toward the shared aim of unique expression that resonates beyond the author's world, beyond the page, and speaks to the universality of human language and experience.
Submissions for Issue 4 are open at the moment.
The history of foxes in the UK and how they were about to become extinct (there may be no such thing as a true "British fox" now) but were imported in their thousands each year "for sport" -even I sat dumbfounded when I made certain discoveries such as stabling foxes, what "bagging a fox" REALLY meant and more.
One naturalist of 60 years read it and called it "The most explosive book on British wildlife ever" and yet, not a single copy has ever sold.
And my old colleagues at the British Naturalist Association....I like to call them "the opposition" now.

There's a fine line between having depth to your story and it being melodramatic.
Suspense is harder than tension. Your post, on Facebook, appeared to be about suspense not tension.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but:
Tension is needed on every page; it happens when a character is upset, two characters disagree, or the MC is trying to do something difficult.
Suspense is created when the reader doesn't know what will happen but desperately needs to know. Will the mission be a success or will the MC's party be captured? How will Anne Frank meet her demise?
Tension keeps the readers' attention while reading a page and suspense makes them plunge into the next scene or chapter.
Of these two, suspense is harder to create.
And if I'm mistaken, let me know. Also, any references to methods to manage suspense would be most welcome.
Janet - just curious about your position. If the "Hugh Howey of crime fiction" queried you about trying to obtain a print-only deal, would you turn him or her down? If so, why?
Yes, I've also heard that print-only deals are less likely now than they were when Wool made its big splash because there is a perception that the market has already been tapped out by the e-book. But I also heard that Woolwent on to sell an additional 5 million print copies.
I wrote for a weekly, award-winning, national horse racing magazine for twenty-three years. In addition to doing race stories, I also did profiles and human interest stories.
I have had a LOT of people recommend I not include this in my query because this has nothing to do with writing fantasy. I did anyway for two reasons. 1. I wrote well enough for twenty-three years for a magazine to send me a paycheck every twoyearsweeks (glad to hear that was a typo!). Two, it might demonstrate I understand the value of deadlines.
I had a similar experience and my gut told me to do just what you've advised, but . These words I didn't...I was too afraid to rock the boat, ruffle feathers, I don't know what. I ended up losing a year of querying...and much hope tooalone "And I do reply" tells me I should've followed my gut. Thank you.
I cannot emphasize enough that this is YOUR career, and agents work WITH you; they are not demi-gods (ok, other than ME of course) to be approached like the King of Siam.

Smokin' Zagi by Acer
Here's a bit of history and maybe some help...
This is one of the early mods Acer (Andy) did. It started off as a stock zagi and as would be suspected, it was not nearly fast enough for him. He did alot of searching around and found some people were trying different electric motor/battery configurations trying to get some extra performance from their wings, but still seemed to him to be too slow. So, why not try to remake the zagi into a glow powered beast? After much consideration and wanting to keep it light as possible but very strong, he chose to glass the cores and use a Norvel .061 engine. His redesign was quite good worked perfectly -- extremely fast. After many requests from e-zoner's and others, he put up a website with building instructions for all the brave soles wanting to build this rocket. I haven't even thought about this first wing of Acer's for about a year now --But checking it out, I see this geocities site is still up and working (mostly -- No video). If you (or anyone) are interested, here's the URL... http://www.geocities.com/sixgunner45/. Have fun. -Rodger |

"I had these invitations personalized and a few additional lines added to the top. They sent me a proof quickly and it was just what we wanted. The turn around was quick and the invitations were perfect! Amazing quality and honestly better than I thought. I initially had chosen a cheaper card but after reading reviews for this one, I switched. I'm so happy that I did. Very classy and elegant card, arrived sooner than they had initially projected. Perfect for my gold and black wedding!"
"I liked the feedback received from your designer on requesting final approval. It showed you cared about getting the product to my satisfaction."
"I got a sample of this and several other invites. This particular invite stood out. The color contrast was great. The overall quality of the card was equally amazing!"
"This invite was perfect for us. We were able to select a color and font we preferred and we also added an image. The quality of the paper and printing was better than expected. It shipped so fast, there was minimal wait time."
"I ordered the invitations, RSVP cards and enclosure card for reception information and it all came looking better than I had even expected. I'm having a very neutral wedding so I went with the silver/gray text and it was the perfect touch. They are elegant and timeless invitations, I definitely will not be looking back in 10 years wondering what was I thinking."

QIANYI RAMEN NOODLES RESTAURANT: Excellent Chinese restaurant, Japanese style.
Arriving in the city of Nanning, it's sometimes difficult to find out a sympatic Chinese restaurant once you want to excape to the McDonnald's domination and you don't dare to eat streetfood.
I found this elegant and big restaurant with aircom and modest prices, on the first floor in the middle of the biggest shopping street of Nanning; the Chao Yang Avenue, opposite the big warehouse; War Mart. You can't miss it, the entrance is just beside the only pedestrial covered bridge over the avenue.
This menu gives a wide choice of Chinese plates, soups, noodles, lunch- and dinner sets, priced from 20-50 Yuan. When you find a place at a window, you'll have a nice view over this avenue and its never ending row of shopping people, streetsellers and "Nanning Tuk-Tuks"
On the same floor, they also have a Sushi-bar, equipes with an automatic rolling presentation of different Japanese Sushis, freshly prepared at the end of the line. You just take of a plate you want; chicken-wings, springrolls, fresh salmon etc. The color of your plate indicates the price; from 8-10-12 Yuan. Free tea distribution system and a carafe of hot Sake only 20 Y.
Favorite Dish: In the Sushi bar you can also order special Japanese plates, which will be made fresly for you.
Excellent service by waitress in Japanese style uniform; their english is very limited, but their smile and service is unlimited ! If a language problem occurs, keep smiling and the boss will help you out in good english.
Moreover the menu in the bigger restaurant and the Shusibar is presented with pictures of all the plates with english translation.
After a full day of walking around (and shopping), this is an excellent place to sit down, relax,and to take a pleasant lunch or diner.- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons

Congee/Porridge with "Yu tiao"
We had this simple food during breakfast before we depart for Liuzhou. It is along one of the stalls towards Nanning wet market. Besides congee/porridge, the stall sells noodles in soup or fried. The stall is quite crowded with locals having their breakfast.
Favorite Dish: Congee/Porridge - rice boiled with lots water till really soft and almost starchy like a paste or puree. The one that we ordered was pork porridge. The seller scooped the plain porridge out from the big pot into a saucepan, added some marinated pork and ginger and boiled it. She then scooped this into a bowl, topped with with spring onions and a dash of pepper. If you don't like pork, there's a choice of fish and other exotic mix of pork liver, intestine or pork organs.
Have it with the "yu tiao" (Chinese deep fried pastry). You just dip the "yu tiao" into the porridge - it's yummy!.
Price per bowl of porridge with two sets of "yu tiao" : 4.20yuan- Backpacking

Steamed Chinese Dumplings - "Pau"
Chinese steamed dumplings, called the "Pau" is a delicious snack or a good breakfast meal. It is sold in most eateries or sometimes in stalls specially selling "pau". These dumplings are steamed in big round trays stacked on top of each other. You can see the steam oozing out from the hot trays. This dumpling tastes best when it is eaten hot as the skin is soft and fluffy and the fillings in it is moist and tasty.
The prices of these dumplings vary according to the types of fillings. Fillings are of either beans, chopped cabbage and carrot, sesame .... there are also some with meat fillings. Prices are usually stated on the signboard but they are in Chinese. Anyway, you can just buy one and ask for the price. Veggie pau are usually 0.50yuan each. For train rides and long distance bus journeys, dumplings are convenient food to bring along as meals.

"Xian Tze": Dried and Wet Seafood Noodles
This is a local shop that sells seafood noodles. It is by chance that we saw this shop in one of the side lanes when we were walking along the main street towards Wanda Mall and Chaoyang Guangchang. It was lunch time and we saw many locals taking a queue to order their food. We decided to give it a try.
This is a "self service" eatery, meaning, once you placed your order, you will get a number. When your order is ready, they will announce your number and you collect your bowls of food from the "counter"
Favorite Dish: We ordered 2 different types of noodles.
1) Dried Seafood noodles consists of the flat noodles with slight brown sauce topped with roasted pork , dried shrimps, vegetables and groundnuts. It is served with a bowl of hot clear soup. Price is 7yuan
2) Wet/Soup Seafood noodles also consists of flat noodles with hot soup in it with lots of slices of meat, brown squids and prawns, garnished with lots of spring onions. Price is 7.50yuan
We prefer the Wet/Soup seafood noodles as we find it more tasty. Note that serving per portion is big.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD
Amazon shook up the tablet market big time this month, introducing a faster, brighter and overall more sophisticated lineup of Kindle devices. But, the one that really made a splash was Amazon's new Kindle Fire HD, an 8.9-inch tablet that touts a 1,920-x-1,200 display, support for 4G LTE networks and an ultrathin frame that combine to make it a pretty serious contender to Apple's new iPad.
The new Kindle Fire HD also features dual stereo speakers and is said by Amazon to be the first tablet out of the gate to feature Dolby Digital Plus audio. It also comes with two antennas, a feature that Amazon said lets the Kindle Fire HD's Wi-Fi run nearly 41 percent faster than the iPad's. The 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD will be available in a 16-GB version for $299 and 32 GB with 4G LTE version for $499.

... the Astros. Being the executive chef of the ballpark gets him some really cool memorabilia! We said some tough goodbyes, and departed Houston a little before noon. Besides an uneventful lunch at Arby's, and few bathroom and gas stops, we had a couple of interesting moments during the drive. First, as we were heading back through Dallas, we hit some thunderstorms. The storm dumped a bunch of rain on us as lightning ...
It got HOT, HOT, HOT!!
... time at the museum looking at the temporary gallery called "World War II, Remembered: Leaders, Battles, & Heroes." I took a few pictures and we could see that if you were a WWII buff, you could spend days here. It was very detailed and had lots of information to absorb if you had the time. We were just there for a short period of time so it was a fairly quick look through. On our way back to the RV we walked by Eisenhower's boyhood home. ...

Today we headed north to Wichita, KS. In contrast to the park in Thackerville, OK, the one in Wichita was pretty new. Lots of concrete, not much in the way of trees. It sorta felt like we were camping on an airport runway. Good laundry, showers, and restrooms. (Hey, those things are important!)

The topography as we started our drive into Kansas is quite different from what one would expect thinking of the usual stereotypical thoughts of what Kansas is...actually, it is very rolling in places, bigger horizons in others and (as you might expect) fairly sparsely populated for the most part.

The Center reinforced its position as a thought leader and practitioner in social enterprise. Read about our role in mentoring entrepreneurs and advancing impact capital.
The eighth Social Capital Markets Conference (SOCAP13) took place earlier this month (Sept 3-6) at Fort Mason in San Francisco. SOCAP focuses on the space between philanthropy and traditional capital markets. Over the past six years this gathering has grown to be the flagship conference in social investing and draws over 2000 social entrepreneurs, corporations, philanthropists, NGOs, and impact investors who believe you can invest with the goal of making a positive impact, while also making positive financial returns. The Center was well represented at SOCAP. We co-hosted a reception with ANDE, Opportunity Collaboration , and the World Bank that drew over 400 attendees and guests. At our booth on the main floor of the conference facility, we promoted GSBI Online, GSBI Accelerator, and our Impact Capital program. Most importantly, the Center submitted three panel proposals for the conference, and all three were selected with capacity attendance. John Kohler moderated Impact Investing: Keeping the Investor and Entrepreneur Happy. Thane Kreiner hosted Impact Investing and Spiritual Belief: Breaking the Cycle of Persistent Poverty; and Andy Lieberman organized Innovation in Capacity Development for Social Enterprises. Read these and other blogs here.
The Center for Science, Technology, and Society would like to thank all of our supporters who voted for our panels for SOCAP 2013. All three of our panels were accepted out of 128+ submissions! Your efforts helped us make it to the top and we could not have done it without you.

Can we Keep Both the Investor and Entrepreneur Happy?
I met Emily Stone of Maya Mountain Cacao in Nicaragua early this year. She is bright, energetic, and laser focused on building prosperity for cacao farmers in Belize. We were both participating in a business 'boot camp' hosted by Agora Partners. I had an opportunity to speak to the 30+ Agora entrepreneurs about new forms of financing constructed to better fit their reality, in this case, the Demand Dividend concept we have been pioneering at Santa Clara University. Emily immediately grasped the advantages, as did several other entrepreneurs. A 'venture debt' vehicle that only pays out from a minority share of free cash flow, a sensible upside for investors but then extinguishes all claims and leaves company ownership in the hands of founders and employees. It also recognizes the agrarian nature of many developing economies and allows for variable payments, not installment debt with a revenue sweetener. She also liked the 'honeymoon' feature which, like equity, allows the investment to work for the enterprise first before seeking to be paid back. Emily became an advocate. Equity financing for Maya Mountain was not in the cards. Two principals at Eleos Foundation, Andy Lower and Jim Villanueva, were also fans of the Demand Dividend concept and Jim found himself inspired by the great work Emily had already done. She was intent on expanding Maya Mountain to Guatemala with the same success recipe that was already working in Belize - working with cacao farmers, pruning and renovating dozens of farms, planting scores of new trees and working with the farming communities to improve yield, quality and reforestation of the mountains. Expansion financing came together quickly - based on the Demand Dividend structure. Can we keep both the entrepreneur and investor happy? So far, yes! But come here their story and commentary on leading impactor sector participants as we discuss the role of structured exit financing for impact investing.

The physical characteristics of surface sediments from a suite of pristine lakes on Signy Island, maritime Antarctic, were used to develop a quantitative link between catchment ice-extent and lake-sediment response. Percentage dry weight, median particle size, percentage loss-on-ignition and wet density of the lakes' surface sediments were the most significant variables explaining contemporary catchment ice-extent. Two independent reconstruction models – Partial Least Squares (PLS) and a Modern Analog Technique (MAT) – were applied to dated sediment cores at two sites on Signy Island. The validity of the reconstructions was tested against historical information on catchment ice-extent. With sufficiently high sedimentation rates and sampling resolution, the models can predict sub-decadal changes in ice-extent. The model results are best regarded as indicators of erosion resulting from meltwater activity in the catchment. Comparison of results with Twentieth Century climate records affirms the hypothesis that climatic warming is the most likely cause for the ice retreat observed on Signy Island during the last 40 yrs. Similar reconstruction models using these simple sedimentary measures could be developed for analogous locations in the Antarctic and in Arctic and Alpine regions.

Hi, I am Holly Simon and the mother of 5 kids. When my 5th child was born here in Chicago everyone in the delivery room noticed that Nate had Down Syndrome. Unfortunately the usual CONGRATULATIONS were not heard. The doctors and nurses all said that they were sorry to my husband and I. Can you imagine? The fears? The horror? "Sorry" must mean he was dying.

I had a blast being on the Spike TV show, Frankenfood! A competition-reality series following New York executive chef and restaurateur Josh Capon and actor/musician/restaurateur Tony Luke Jr on their insane quest to find new and unique flavor combinations by pairing existing dishes together (think chicken flavored cheesecake and turtle tacos!?!) – the result tends to either be a delicious dish…or an awful miss! Check out this crazy spastic mash-up!!
The Museum of Broadcasting Communications in Chicago is going to be hosting an awesome event coming up in September… A Night with Larry King!

Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a Chicago-based outplacement consultancy, calculated this $13 billion lost in productivity, states that its motive was to highlight the cost of distractions in the office. "We are not trying to demonize fantasy football," CEO John A. Challenger states. "It's important to understand that there are more distractions than ever in today's workplace. If it's not fantasy football, it's the latest Hollywood gossip, shopping on Amazon, or checking Facebook."
For the past few years I have been involved with Susan G. Komen 3 Day Event (a 60 mile walk spanning over 3 days). Since 2008 our team has raised over $75,000 towards the cause. I thought, hey, I'm doing my part, right? But, breast cancer just scratches the surface. On top of illnesses and disease, our nation, even our city of Chicago, faces serious issues with bullying and cruelty, poverty, gangs, unclean water, sex trafficking, the woes in this world are incredible and like most 20-somethings, actually, like most middle-class Americans, these causes were not affecting me.
The Chicago Bears, and Miller Lite are teaming up to bring you the hottest football kickoff party and concert around. This event will take place on Friday September 5th at the House of Blues located in Chicago, and doors will open at 7pm with a live concert at 8pm.
