George Lucas had a good day yesterday, earning $4 billion on a deal that converts the "Star Wars" franchise into a Disney operation. The deal will also bring a "Star Wars, Episode 7" to the big screen in 2015.

Keywords: George Lucas, Star Wars, Disney, deal
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - George Lucas, 68, said in a statement, "It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers."
The legendary filmmaker has transferred the Star Wars franchise and Lucasfilms, his production studio, to Disney. The deal nets Lucas stock and cash valued just over $4 billion.
Disney CEO Robert Iger issued his own statement saying, "This transaction combines a world-class portfolio of content including Star Wars, one of the greatest family entertainment franchises of all time, with Disney's unique and unparalleled creativity across multiple platforms, businesses, and markets to generate sustained growth and drive significant long-term value."
Lucas won't be abandoning his franchise however. Lucas is expected to stay on board as a project consultant.
As for the deal itself, it does require federal antitrust approval. Disney has bought out several smaller, popular media franchises such as Pixar and Marvel Entertainment.
Disney believes the "Star Wars, Episode 7" will bolster its 2015 earnings. Certainly, the addition of Lucasfilms and "Star Wars" improves the Disney portfolio.
In addition to acquiring Star Wars, the acquisition of Lucasfilms also brings Industrial Light & Magic, Skywalker Sound, and the Indiana Jones franchise to Disney.
As for George Lucas, he isn't speaking much about the private deal, but it is understandable that he should want to retire comfortably on the profits of his entertainment empire. With $4 billion to spend and annual revenues to boot, he should accomplish this task easily.
Without a doubt, the force is with Lucas as he closes his multi-billion dollar deal with Disney.

ok the thing about this is it's only been a week in the bottle and my beer isnt that carbonated. i know the rule of thumb is 2 weeks at least to try it. but i fugered since i have like 60 of them it wouldnt hurt to try one now! any how the beer tastes awesome but low carbonation. is it because it needs to be in the bottle longer? i primed 6 gallons with 1 1/2 cup DME.
I've never primed with DME, I've only had experience with corn sugar, but 1 week is definitely not enough time to get good carbonation in the bottles. At the very minimum 2 weeks.... 3 is better.
Well, with DME I'd say a minumum of 3 weeks, 4-5 would be better. DME takes longer than corn sugar as a rule. Make sure you keep them at 70-75 degrees, also!
It's hard to wait, but that's all that is needed here.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Local anti-Monsanto protesters critical of 'Franken-food'
They didn't come out in the numbers organizers had hoped for, but the anti-Monsanto message got out anyway.
About 100 people came out to protest Monsanto Co., the international seed giant headquartered in St. Louis, at a rally at The Forks Saturday afternoon.
In their crosshairs was genetically-modified organisms – aka GMOs – that go into the production of food items that we put on our dinner tables every day. March Against Monsanto protesters want to call attention to the serious health risks posed by genetically-modified food and the companies that produce it.
"These aren't natural products, they're Franken-food," said Rose Stevens, one of the event's organizers.
She said many countries in Europe have banned GMO in the wake of numerous research reports showing the serious health risks – including cancer, infertility and leaky-gut syndrome - that can result from eating unnaturally-produced food.
Janice Palmer, who works at the A1 Nutrition health food store at Grant Park Shopping Centre, said it's the younger generation that is likely to be most affected by GMOs because their popularity has skyrocketed in recent years.
"We don't know the long-term side effects of these genetically-modified foods," she said as her 18-month-old granddaughter, Cassia, slept soundly in her stroller.
She said the Canadian government should follow the trail blazed by many European countries and require that retailers and manufacturers label GMO food so consumers can know exactly what they're buying.
Matthew Ostrove, a regular anti-GMO activist in Winnipeg, said educating the public is a vital first step in forcing changes to the global production of food.
"Once customers know what's in a package and they know that it's bad for them, they won't purchase it," he said.
Another systemic problem is GMO foods produce higher yields than their organic counterparts, which forces the hands of some farmers.
"We have to come up with a different plan for farmers so they can make a good living. Helping to poison the population isn't the right one," he said.
Similar protests against Monsanto took place Saturday in more than 260 cities in more than 60 countries around the world. More than 600 people had indicated via social media that they planned to attend the Winnipeg event.

TravelPod Member ReviewsTradeWinds Island Grand Beach Resort Saint Pete Beach
Things were great right from the get go. We got there several hours early and our room was ready. Check-in was quick and efficient. Our room was great; gulf view, right in front of the live singer at the tiki bar.
We had a late lunch at the Flying Bridge Beach Bar. The food was very good and reasonably priced. We checked out several of the other bars & restaurants on the property and were pleased with all of them. The staff was friendly in each of our encounters.
Finally checkout the last morning was again quick and efficient. Definitely a first class stay!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
My wife and I arrived early on Saturday afternoon and although we were several hours before our check-in time, our room was ready. Check-in was a breeze. Our room was in great shape and over looked the gulf. During our stay, we had the opportunity to eat at a number of restaurants and bars on the property. All were very good. When it was time to leave, check-out was also a breeze. Overall this was a great weekend and I cannot say enough about the property or the staff. Everything was fantastic.

Historical Traveler Reviews TradeWinds Island Grand Beach Resort Saint Pete Beach
Take a Pass on the Island Not-So-Grand
We had high hopes when booking a room at this resort as it was rated highly by all vacation planning services. It appeared to be in a great location and had a ton of amenities. I'm sad to say the facility is terribly overrated. First off, the rooms while brightly decorated are extremely small. There's very little room to maneuver for two people, much less a family of four. The bathroom was undistinguished. There wasn't a manual switch for a ventilation fan and we never could figure out why it sometimes would come on or stay off at random. The beds weren't terribly comfortable and the comforters that adorned them had an annoying tendency to always slide off the bed due to the nylon material they were made of. During our five night stay, our room wasn't cleaned at all one day...we had to call for fresh towels because the bathroom wasn't cleaned or even checked. One of the most annoying aspects of this hotel is that all of the elevators are monumentally slow (using hydraulic pistons rather than cables) and NONE of them are air conditioned. This is inexcusable given the hot humid weather that Florida is known for. A trip to or from our seventh floor room regularly felt like a ride in a sauna. The hotel's beach was nice...well-groomed and wide. We were afforded the use of two-person cabandas after paying the resort's $12/day facility fee. There was a booth right on the beach for Captain Dave's Water Sports, in case you are interested in parasailing, waverunning, etc. The resort's pools are not very large and are absolutely mobbed on the weekends. Weekdays seemed like a ghost town by comparison. If you tire of the beach or wind up badly sunburned, you'll likely be looking elsewhere for entertainment as the hotel doesn't offer much, especially in terms of nightlife. All of the restaurants and bars closed unusually early, forcing us to look elsewhere for a good time. The St. Pete Beach area in general though is pretty devoid of nightlife. After striking out there and in Tampa, we used the resort's businesere for a day-and-a half, even though our Island Grand room was paid for in advance. It was well worth the investment...the room was twice the size of our Island Grand room and there was certainly no shortage of day or evening options. In short, steer clear of the Island Grand and if you want to look at things through a wider lens, you might want to consider staying somewhere other than St. Pete Beach unless you are a professional beach bum.
Fun for Kids!
Great place for kids! Our renovated 1 bedroom suite overlooking the gulf was beautiful, clean and had great views of the sunset. Staff was incrediby helpful and child friendly. Grounds were a little shabby, but our 22 month old son loved the kiddie pool, the beach, the resident swans and ducks and all the other kids who were available to play. A fun place for an easy, relaxed vacation with our kids!
The tradewinds island grand is a superb hotel.It has everything a 4 star hotel should offer and is set on a fabulous beach which is packed with loads of activities and fun stuff to do.The pools are great, i especially liked the adults only.The rooms are really nice, comfortable, clean and luxurious.I recommend the 2 bedroom suites.This hotel is fantastic,i'm planning on going back during the summer.
The best hotel in saint petes.
This hotel is amazing!!The beach is one of the nicest i've ever seen with so many activities and watersports.The choice of dining is astounding, the pools are really fun, the adult only one is a great idea with a relaxed atmosphere.Staff were so helpfull and polite.The room was terrific, very well kept.I will definetly stay here again.I would recommend this to anyone, my friend just stayed here and loved it too.
The Island Grand did not live up to it's 4 star rating. We requested a king size bed and did not get one, and received no satisfaction from the management. The elevators kept breaking down. The common areas were a little dirty and dingy. The rooms were a little on the small side as well. We were expecting a much nicer resort, with better service. While the Tradewinds was OK, it rates 2 to 3 stars.
Very Enjoyable Stay at TradeWinds Island Grand!
We just returned from a 4 day/3 night stay at the Island Grand and loved every minute of it. We were very pleasantly surprised when we were escorted to our room (1 b/room suite) and found it to be so attractively decorated in bright, cheerful colors. We had booked a courtyard view but our front view overlooked the lovely little lagoon and had a great view of the ocean and beach (we were on the 5th floor). The bedroom looked over the beautifully landscaped courtyard with gazebos, ponds and fountains. The vegetation and flowers were very lush and green with hammocks hanging all around the grounds. I was a little concerned about the extra $12 fee that is added each day but soon felt that we were making good use of it. This covers many extras that we took advantage of such as a beach cabana each day, paddle boats, use of fitness center, tennis courts, parking and use of business center computers. I felt that drinks and food were a bit pricey at the resort but we soon found a nearby Publix and stocked up. We greatly enjoyed the adult only pool --- this was a real plus if you are there without children. If you are traveling with children they seem to have a great program called KONK (Kids Only Not Kidding) ---- we saw them doing so many interesting and creative activities. I would definitely recommend this resort (it was very clean and well maintained) and look forward to returning when we are in this area again.
Tradewinds - Not Worth the Price
We have stayed at the Tradewinds Resort - Grand three times over the past 6years. This place has progressively gotten worse each time. We will no longer stay at this resort. The facilities are not kept in good shape. The people working at the facility are lethargic at best. If you believe 'price is what you pay and value is what you get' you will not stay at this facility. If you were paying $90.00 per night you might say the value is okay but at +200.00 with not so much as courtesy coffee in the morning - forget about it. MG
A great stay
We had seven nights at the Tradewinds, having spent six nights in Kissimmee in a good hotel.
We found the Island Grand very comfortable, friendly, good facilities.
Our room was wonderful, 4th floor overlooking the gulf coast. We liked the 'adult only swimming pool' which was away from the family pools. Ideal for those wanting some peace and quiet!!
Our experience of this hotel was good - we have no complaints at all.
Terrible Room
We stayed at this hotel in 2001. We stayed in a two bedroom suite at over $400 a night. One bedroom did not have any curtains on the bedroom and we could not get room service to put one up. We had to hang a blanket over the window. No matter how many times we called, we could never get room service or housekeeping to take care of it. Rooms were terribly dated. AAA Needs to review the rating they have given to this hotel. Would never ever stay here again.
Fun, but not worth the price or a Triple A Four Star Rating
We stayed at the Tradewinds Island Grande Resort over July 4th weekend 2001. The facility was quite a letdown considering the price (We paid $275 per night, plus $12.00 per day for parking and other hidden fees.) The rooms were average and the staff attempted to keep the pool areas clean, but definitely not worth the price. Appeared to be several old hotels connected by boardwalks and sidewalks. There was no easy way to get from one place to another. They offered other resorts nearby (Siratta Beach and Sandpiper), but Island Grande was the nicest. Can't understand how it earned a AAA four-star rating.
However, there was more than enough to keep the kids happy which, in turn, kept the adults happy. Four pools: two nice, one not so nice and one that didn't allow kids, well-supervised kids camp, fireworks on the beach and a well-planned and very enjoyable dinner buffet and party on July 4th evening. The Jacaranda building had the best layout for multi-family get-togethers with tables and common areas outside the rooms.
All in all, it was a fun but extremely overpriced vacation. Bottom line, I would go again, but insist on a lower rate, now that I know better. Of course, I'm from Orlando where we have the best hotel rooms in the world, so maybe I'm spoiled too.

Nothing is perfect
... an up and coming neighborhood. But there is a run down apartment bldg/motel that backs up to this property and I am not comfortable buying a house that would be empty much of the time in a rather mixed area. My guess is that this area will continue to improve and this property will increase in value. If we were younger and looking to invest for the future this would be a good bet. But we are looking for a place to use in the winter and leave for long periods of time. ...
What a difference a day makes
... people, and Bill with the local golf course. I am looking online to find a place in Venice for February. Unless something happens between now and next winter and we buy something. Feb 4. In keeping with the theme of one day making a difference, I got an email from the realtor, Janet. I had asked her to arrange for one more trip thru 3 homes we liked in Plantation. I wanted another look before we left the area. I got a return email with ...
St. Pete's Beach, Fl
... went to see "American Sniper" at the IMAX theatre, followed by dinner and drinks at a local restaurant. The day went quickly, and we were on the road again towards Texas, just passing through Mississippi and Alabama so fast we barely had time to notice the state line signs.
This morning we're south of Houston in a hotel just three miles from NASA and the Houston Space Center. We're both excited to see the Space Center today. ...
Where am I?

This means tomorrow will be rough as I drive 4 hours to Miami, watch the game, then drive the 4 hours back again.

Celebrating Duke Ellington featuring the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
Since 1988, when Wynton Marsalis coalesced his septet with Duke Ellington alumni Jimmy Hamilton, Willie Cook, Jimmy Woode, Norris Turney, Britt Woodman, and Joe Temperley (still an active member of the JLCO and performer at this event) to form the first edition of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Ellington's oeuvre has been fundamental to Marsalis' mission and conception. Continuing in this vein, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis will draw from its deep well of Ellingtonia, rendering the maestro's essence with a forceful, idiomatic clarity that reflects the JLCO's abiding immersion in his language.

Been reading a lot of the excellent information from the various threads on the Android head units. Thoroughly excited then quite disappointed when errors seem to be commonplace after a short time.
So which in your esteemed knowledge is currently the best of the Chinese Android Head Units, for reliability and functionality?
Personally, I've had units in the past from Eonon and Chinavasion, and they both developed errors after a while (the Chinavasion unit was much better though, it's only issue's were the GPS failing (just died), and some intermittant errors which a power recycle (turn off/on) sorted out.
I have a Pioneer touch-screen unit in the car at the moment, and although it's been super reliable, having to convert video's to specific Divx resolutions is a major pita.
So I've been researching for a touch-screen unit which can handle multiple video formats without having to convert too many on my pc beforehand. Not bothered about GPS, bluetooth, or DVD. Just want video, usb port on the front (proper usb connection, not micro/mini), and radio. And obviously the ability to customise to my own tastes. This will be for a Nissan Cubic we just bought, and will be connected to a rear flip-down monitor and reverse camera.
Btw, which is better for reliability: Pure Android, or Android with WinCE? According to the Wiki, Android is just the pretty face of the MCU, so what's the point of pure Android?
Omarko is a forum member who I also have chatted to on Whirlpool. He had a bit of a nightmare with one unit (from AliBaba), which is based on this build:
He then ordered the following unit, which he says has been very reliable so far:
Would you suggest this as one of the better built units?

Transformation Month, an initiative introduced by the SRC in association with student societies, began at UCT on Monday, March 9th and will run until March 29th. Thato Pule, SRC Chair of Transformation and Social Responsiveness, has worked as the co-ordinator of events. The campaign places a focus on gender, sexuality and disability as key issues of transformation, with each of the three weeks looking specifically at one of these areas. Transformation Month is made up of a range of events hosted on different UCT campuses as well as in the residences.
Mechanical Engineering students, Jason Hardy and James Shin, developed a new type of vending machine on campus, UniCafé, offering a variety of coffee and hot-chocolate to students. The students created the machines themselves, sourcing parts from South Korea. Currently their machines are found in Menzies, Computer Science, NSLT and Kramer Law buildings and are available 24/7.
The "UCT: Rhodes Must Fall" movement officially began on Thursday, March 12th sparked by the actions of a student at the Cecil John Rhodes statue on Monday, March 9th. The movement aims to address institutional racism at UCT and the issue of transformation.
On Monday, March 16th the university hosted a discussion entitled "Heritage, Signage and Symbolism" as part of a planned series of talks on transformation, which were planned last year. During the introduction given by Professor Crain Soudien, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Chair of the discussion, students requested that the order of speakers be rearranged so that Ramabina Mahapa, SRC President, could present his response first.
A number of students have raised the issue of insufficient parking on campus due to the limited parking areas available and overselling of discs. Parking discs are purchased from the Traffic Department, although having a disc does not guarantee access to a parking space. The allocation of parking discs varies as they allow different privileges for different groups of people. Parking bays are subsequently designated in line with the grouping in which the car is registered.
"Being a student presents some great opportunities"
A look into the prejudices and social reception the LGBT+ community endures.
"an apocalyptic battle with my thick natural hair"
"The Salvation Army has given us something actually worth talking about"
One view on the discourse that has left UCT enraptured.

Tired of working on campus? Looking for a new place to burn the midnight oil that serves great coffee and has free WiFi? I went exploring to find the hidden gem near you. Here are some of the places that I found:
OBSERVATORY – Hello Sailor Bistro – 4/5
- WiFi – 4/5
Unlimited; Download speed 2.4 Mbps
- Coffee – Filter coffee 2/5 Cappuccino 4/5
The coffee tasted a bit sour but it was most likely a once-off thing.
Many things in life are crazy. The fact that Hannah Montana turned out to be a twerking extraordinaire is crazy. The fact that the entire world was sent into an existential panic over the colour of a dress is crazy. The fact that Harry Styles is my future husband, but has not yet met me, is pretty crazy.
However, the following body modifications are so risqué and unorthodox that they'll re-embody (see what I did there?) craziness and leave even the biggest hipsters gasping in awe…
Yes, yes we did! I mean, what was not to love? Unreal venue and people, great weather, drinks flowing all day long… yes, the We Love Summer team did well with their final chapter, closing this summer with a bang.
To give you an idea, when I arrived at Blue Rock at around 3pm, it was already pumping. Although every party naturally has its negatives, We Love Summer definitely had more positives. Here are a few that stood out:
If you're one of those people who doesn't want to be confined to practise times or can't find a sports society that suits you (which is highly unlikely at UCT), or maybe you don't have enough protein shakes to warrant you going to gym, there are alternatives out there.
The Varsity Cup is getting heated as the competition draws to a close. The finalists are yet to be decided as the FNB Shimlas face our very own FNB Ikeys in Bloemfontein this afternoon and the FNB Pukke play FNB Tuks in Pretoria tonight.
The UCT Ikey Tigers beat UJ in an unofficial quarter-final to earn their place in the Varsity Cup semi-finals. Fanie wraps up the season.

The Flying Tigers are on a roll

Established in 1992, the San Francisco-based McKay Foundation supported organizations that addressed income inequality and poverty. The McKay Foundation focused on developing long-term, community-based solutions to social and economic problems. Robert McKay Jr. provided the philanthropic vision for the foundation and served as its executive director.
In 1998, the McKay Foundation formed and funded the Living Wage Coalition in San Francisco. In its effort to change public policy, the McKay Foundation had to operate within a series of regulatory constraints imposed as a condition of its tax-exempt status.
The Tax Reform Act of 1969 restricted foundations from: (a) making lobbying statements to a legislator or legislative staff member that contained both a reference to specific legislation and a point of view on that legislation, and (b) engaging in communication with the public that referred to specific legislation, reflected a view on that legislation, and included a call to action. However, foundations still had wide latitude to educate legislators and the public on issues relevant to proposed legislation, referenda, and ballot measures.
The McKay Foundation played a key role in convening the diverse constituencies that had a stake in the living wage issue, while navigating within the lobbying restrictions placed on private foundations. After a two-year effort, Mayor Willie Brown signed the San Francisco Minimum Compensation Ordinance on November 1, 2000, and more than 20,000 low-income workers received pay increases.
After the ordinance had been signed, McKay considered how to sustain the energy and momentum he had helped to mobilize. McKay wondered whether the living wage community could reorient its focus to address other important problems for San Francisco's low-income residents or whether the fight for a living wage had been so focused that it could not be sustained beyond the coalition's recent victory.

Late Palo Alto industrialist William R. Hewlett and his wife, Flora Lamson Hewlett, and their eldest son, Walter B. Hewlett, established the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation in 1966. The Foundation's guiding principle, as stated by the board of directors, was to "promote the well-being of humanity by focusing on the most serious problems facing society, where risk capital, responsibly invested, may make a difference over time, and on sustaining and improving institutions that make positive contributions to society."
By 2003, the Foundation was focused on conflict resolution, education, environment, family and community development, performing arts, population, and U.S.-Latin American relations. The Foundation's assets fluctuated based on market factors but were approximately $5 billion in 2002, with grant awards totaling over $200 million.
Under the direction of President Paul Brest, the Foundation assumed a leadership role in advocating that mission-based organizations, including foundations themselves, make a more conscious effort to articulate the causal theories that guided their work. To do so, they suggested that foundations and grantees use a theory of change, also known as a causal theory or logic model, to structure their strategic planning and evaluation efforts.
In its simplest form, a causal theory took the following form: inputs, which lead to activities, and outputs, which in turn lead to outcomes. The process of designing a causal theory began with establishing desired outcomes and then determining what inputs and activities were necessary to produce them.
The Hewlett Foundation utilized a theory-of-change model to develop its own internal programs, such as the environment program's off-road vehicle-use initiative. The theory-of-change model informed every aspect of the Foundation's work, from grantmaking strategies to grantee selection to program performance evaluations.
As the Foundation shifted its grantmaking to align with a theory-of-change approach during 2001 and 2002, Brest and the program staff endeavored to increase the Foundation's effectiveness and accountability by formalizing their planning and assessment practices.

The Global Fund for Women was a funding intermediary that made grants to seed, support, and strengthen women's rights groups outside the United States. These groups worked to provide women with economic opportunities and independence, improve their health and reproductive rights, increase girls' access to education, and stop violence against females. Since its first year of grantmaking in 1988, the Global Fund had grown rapidly, awarding more than $26.8 million to over 2,500 women's rights groups in 160 countries as of 2002.
The Global Fund's style of fundraising and grantmaking reflected its belief that local women could best determine their own needs and create solutions for lasting change. Kavita Ramdas joined the Global Fund in 1996 as its second president and CEO, succeeding cofounder Anne Firth Murray.
In her new role, Ramdas instituted a number of strategic, organizational, cultural, and process changes, while seeking to preserve the mission and values of the organization.
Organizational changes aimed at professionalizing the work of the Global Fund included recognizing the current staff's contributions, expanding the staff in underrepresented knowledge areas, and creating a more defined structure and hierarchy.
Strategic changes in grantmaking included proactively involving external advisors from the field, giving larger and multiyear grants, and shifting to a discretionary grant-review timeline that would better meet the needs of potential grantees.
In the area of fundraising, the Global Fund embarked on the first phase of building a permanent endowment fund that would provide grantees and the organization with more security and longevity.
Looking ahead, Ramdas' priorities included examining how to guide the Fund's growth without losing the organization's unique connections with donors, grantees, and staff. In addition, she hoped the Fund could do a better job of assessing grant outcomes and sharing success stories. Ramdas also wondered how the Fund could better influence critical policy-related decisions made in the broader external environment that affected important women's rights issues.

The case highlights a broad overview of a nonprofit media services organization, BAVC, with a strong track record and solid market position in the regional market for media technology training (for professionals and amateurs) and workforce development (for low-income groups), as well as the national noncommercial (not-for-profit) market for creative media services.
The recent history of the organization is one of entrepreneurial dedication, strong leadership, and a dynamic culture of varied constituencies, leading to tremendous growth. In many ways, BAVC has behaved like a high-tech business, utilizing cutting-edge technology to deliver innovative services to the marketplace and constantly innovating to remain at the forefront of the high-end market.
As a nonprofit in this sector, BAVC faces unique challenges and opportunities, relative to both traditional nonprofit organizations and for-profit businesses, making it an interesting comparison to a media company (Disney?) or to another nonprofit organization. Teaching Note available.

Susan Ford served as the president and cofounder of the Sand Hill Foundation, a family foundation that made grants to organizations that benefited people on the San Francisco Peninsula. The foundation was established by Tom and Susan Ford in 1995, emerging from the Fords' shared passion for giving and community development. The foundation focused on the environment, education, preservation of open space, youth development, and job training.
The Fords were among the original donors of the Teen Success Program, a support group for teen mothers launched in 1990 by Planned Parenthood Mar Monte (PPMM). The program encouraged teens not to have a second child and to stay in school, in exchange for $10 per week and $100 for every 25 weeks of attendance. Facilitator-led Teen Success groups of up to 12 teen mothers met weekly. Childcare was provided during meetings, and participants could remain in the groups until they turned 18 or completed high school.
After investing more than $200,000 in the initiative, Susan Ford decided to measure the effectiveness of the Teen Success Program. Her intention was to validate the program's results and identify its strengths and opportunities in an effort to help it grow further. Yet, even though Ford had developed a positive relationship with Linda Williams, the head of PPMM, she worried that Williams might feel threatened by her proposal for an assessment of the program's impact. The evaluation process resulted in tensions that caused both Ford and Williams to reflect upon the dynamics of the grantor-grantee relationship, as well as the role of evaluation in their future work.
By 2002, the Teen Success program was operating in over 20 communities in California and Nevada and had served 625 teen mothers. That year, PPMM won the Planned Parenthood Affiliate Excellence Award for services to teens. In mid-2002, PPMM was seeking funding for another comprehensive evaluation of the Teen Success Program so that other Planned Parenthood chapters could potentially replicate the initiative.
Looking forward, Williams, Ford, and others involved in the Teen Success Program hoped to capitalize on their learning to more constructively engage all stakeholders in the evaluation process, effectively monitor the program's impact, and take action on evaluation results.

This case explores the economic growth issues of Bozeman, Mont., and the role that a new nonprofit organization, the Yellowstone Business Partnership (YBP), could have in directing Bozeman's future. Bozeman's economy had grown rapidly, but with growth came concerns over development of environmentally sensitive areas, impact on local businesses, and affordability.
YBP was formed to bolster the Yellowstone–Teton region's economy and environment by seeking solutions, innovations, and inclusion from all sectors of the economy. As the location of the organization's headquarters and largest chapter, Bozeman's growth was particularly important to YBP for identifying programmatic objectives and growth implications for the region.

TransFair USA, the U.S. fair trade labeling arm of the Fair Trade Labeling Organization (FLO), faced strategic challenges in 2003. The Fair Trade label denoted coffee (and other products) sold at a price high enough to allow small certified farmers to earn a living wage.
TransFair, like the other fair trade organizations worldwide, enjoyed an exclusive niche status in the United States. In 2003 Fair Trade Certified™ coffee accounted for 3-5 percent of all coffee sold in the United States, a substantial accomplishment given that TransFair was founded in 1998.
Paul Rice, founder, president, and chief executive of TransFair USA, wanted to push Fair Trade Certified™ coffee beyond its niche status, into the mainstream. In doing so he faced the challenge of convincing uninformed mainstream consumers and skeptical large-scale coffee roasters to buy Fair Trade Certified™ coffee, and FLO to allow TransFair to certify large coffee-growing estates.

Seattle's theatre industry had a rich, 38-year history of producing top-quality plays and musicals. In a typical year, the theatres collectively sold over a million tickets and pumped over $8 million into the local economy.
Historically, the five major theatre companies—Seattle Repertory Theatre, A Contemporary Theatre, The Empty Space Theatre, Intiman Theatre, and Seattle Children's Theatre—each had a clearly defined mission statement and unique artistic focus. However, by the close of the 2001 season, the theatres' strategic and artistic identities had blurred as each company pursued growth.
Some attributed theatregoers' and donors' waning interest and declining support to this homogenization in addition to the slumping U.S. economy. Others argued that there was too much capacity in the industry and that, in order to survive, the stronger theatres had to expand their niches and even drive smaller, weaker players out of business.
The vibrant Seattle Theatre Industry appeared to face monumental challenges to remaining both critically acclaimed and financially sound.

In early 2003, Reverend Doctor Dieter Kays, the CEO of Lutherwood-CODA, was, by his own account, "worried and spending a lot of time in prayer." The subject of Kays' spiritual reflection was Luther Village, the Canadian nonprofit's bold, three-phase, 12-year, $75 million real estate project to develop a sprawling, high-end, 20-acre, 750-member retirement community in downtown Waterloo.
With the first two phases of the project complete, Luther Village had accumulated $4.5 million of profit from construction. Phases I and II of the Luther Village had sold out with some headaches, but fairly quickly nonetheless. At the time, Lutherwood-CODA had brought to market a new concept in elderly residential services.
But Phase III, a $20 million assisted living center serving individuals with daily service and care needs, would be completed in a much more competitive market. Now, there were many competitors for assisted living services in the region, and early indications were that demand for the new facility was lower than it had been for Phases I and II.
Moreover, Lutherwood had assumed substantial debt to finance Phase III. All of the equity generated during Phases I and II had been reinvested into Phase III. Kays knew that the organization's ability to service its obligations depended on being able to market and fill the new assisted living facility as quickly as possible.
Could Lutherwood-CODA tolerate this new level of financial risk? Would market and economic conditions allow Phase III to execute its aggressive marketing program? Could the project really generate sufficient funds for Lutherwood-CODA's social programs to make all the work and stress worthwhile? Was the development and operation of Luther Village consistent with Lutherwood's social mission?

For nearly 50 years, the Korean peninsula has been separated by a band, 2½ miles wide, which has divided the land into North and South. Heavily armed on both sides, the Demilitarized Zone itself has become an environmental haven. Since the end of the Korean War, this land has been virtually untouched by humans. Surrounded by tanks and electrified fences, cranes, egrets, and bears roam free.
A three-hour drive to the south is Seoul, one of Asia's most important cities. With 20 million residents, Seoul is the home of South Korea's government, largest businesses, and thought leaders. There, a small, grass-roots group of affluent, well-connected, self-described "housewives" struggle with some of the key issues of South Korea's future. Their group is called Mirae, meaning "future" in Korean. They work to prepare for what almost all South Koreans see as the inevitable reunification of North and South.
As they raise and use funds, their challenges are myriad: How to best create a nonprofit in a society that has traditionally thought of charity as an intrafamily issue, whether they should limit their giving to people in their own country, and how to support the North Korean people while not supporting the oppressive North Korean government.
