This article, which was used as the foundation for Andy's presentation, discusses how to develop scale strategies for small and medium sized organizations. "Endgame," refers to the specific role that organizations play to confront their communities' challenges. Unfortunately, the social problems that nonprofits take on are often larger than their organization can entirely address. For that reason, nonprofit leaders should shift their focus from the scale of their organization to the impact that their organization can help achieve. Gugelev and Stern found that nonprofits that define their endgames early tend to make better use of resources during their initial stages of growth. The article outlines six approaches to scale:
Andy shared several case studies about Segal Family Foundation grantees that have successfully scaled their work. Some methods are included in the Endgamearticle and others are entirely unique.
Lwala Community Alliance
Direct Service Provision: Lwala is a healthcare provider that operates in a remote part of western Kenya. Lwala found that it had to take a holistic approach in community involvement to meet its healthcare-oriented mission because there are no other service providers in its communities. In addition to healthcare services, Lwala scaled its program to provide direct services in classrooms and fields.
Spark Microgrants
Community Adoption: Community adoption is a platform for stakeholders to design their own visions of scale. Spark makes small grants to communities to enable project implementation for social good in education, health, and food sustainability. Stakeholders are encouraged to become proactive planners, implementers, and advocates for their development through microgrants.
Last Mile Health
Government Adoption: Last Mile Health is committed to saving lives in rural and remote villages in Africa. During the 2014 ebola outbreak, the Liberian government recognized the proficiency of Last Mile Health's program. Last Mile Health is now helping overhaul the failing national health system in Liberia. It will implement a nationwide community health worker program by building, refining, and subsequently transferring the system to the government.
Open Source: Educate! provides social entrepreneurship curricula to provide business skills to young people in Uganda. This creates new opportunities for Ugandans to start their own businesses and community development initiatives. By open sourcing their material, Educate!'s national entrepreneurship curriculum is used throughout all of Uganda and its model has been adopted in nearly every secondary school. Other NGOs have also adopted portions of Educates!'s model.
One Acre Fund
Sustained Service: One Acre Fund works with small farmers across Africa and provides microloans, farming inputs, and market access. It has grown from a budget of 4.8 million to over 55 million. This is possible because $35-40 million of its budget come from repayments on loans. This means that One Acre's model is financially sustainable and able to expand. This has a great value proposition for donors because when they invest in one acre, the repayment on that loan pays for another person's acre.

Surveys can be created and distributed in a variety of ways. As an online crowdfunding community, we find that emailed surveys are the best method for us, as they are the most ubiquitous. But if you would like to evaluate your program's effectiveness in a remote part of the world, an in-person survey, taken by your staff, may be the best method for your project. It is important to consider who you are not reaching through your chosen method and how this translates to how far you can extend your data. Both online and in-person surveys have advantages and disadvantages, so be sure that the potential response rates, biases, and costs align with the goal of your study.
Our Annual Project Leader survey was sent out via email in April 2015 and had a 21% response rate, which is higher than previous years but still not quite as high as we would like. We will be continuing to test delivery methods and other variables to increase the response rate.
For tips on how to create and administer the best survey for your organization, check out this Penn State presentation.
Surveys often require a mix of question types to get the most actionable results. GlobalGiving is experimenting with using a variety of survey question types, to see which combinations both resonate most strongly with Project Leaders, as well as give us the most useful, concrete, actionable data. We are learning how to craft questions that make sense to respondents, and that help us most accurately align Project Leader priorities with our own mission.
We asked some very specific, action oriented multiple-choice questions. For example, we asked survey participants to indicate which of the following improvements to our website was of highest priority to their organization:
The results showed that 35.4% of respondents wanted an opt in option for newsletters— wow! With a whopping one-third of our partners requesting this feature, newsletter opt-ins has become a top priority.
In addition, 20% of respondents wanted photos added to thank you notes, and 17% wanted to customize recurring donation options. We receive regular requests for changes to the website and we struggle to determine how to best allocate our limited resources to meet the demands of our partners. This question helped us prioritize our technology requests, so that we can make the most desired changes within the next year.
In our most recent survey to Project Leaders, we asked the following question:
"On a scale of 0 (disagree completely) to 10 (agree completely), how strongly do you agree with the following statement?
GlobalGiving makes my organization more effective overall."
Project Leaders who took this survey gave, overall, a fairly low score to this question, which tells us that the majority of PLs strongly disagreed with the premise that GlobalGiving currently makes them a more effective organization overall.
However, we also asked the following question:
Which of the following long-term improvements to GlobalGiving's services is the highest priority for your organization?
- Website in my language
- Transactions in my currency
- More sophisticated tools to become a more effective organization
- GlobalGiving office near me
- Alternative payment methods (e.g. mobile payment
- Other
The most frequently selected answer here was "More sophisticated tools to become a more effective organization." This tells us that while Project Leaders do not currently think that GlobalGiving makes them more effective overall, they still place a high priority on GlobalGiving supplying effectiveness tools and training. We now know that we should allocate resources towards offering more effectiveness tools, and that we should continue to poll Project Leaders using that NPS question to ensure that we are improving. By pairing these two questions, GlobalGiving is able to use data to make decisions about resources, programming, and tool development that are aligned with PL priorities and perceptions of GlobalGiving services.
The inclusion of open-ended questions within your survey can spark new ideas and thoughts that may not have been revealed otherwise. For instance, in our annual Project Leader Survey, we asked the question: "Is there anything else you would like us to know about your experience with GlobalGiving?". By asking this question, we were able to learn just how important it was to our partners to have more donor data, such as donor's gender or geographical location. As a result, we are now looking into what information GlobalGiving can and should provide in the future.
Tips and Tricks to Implementing Strong Surveys

So far, GlobalGiving has hosted a 30% Bonus Day in March, a Pro-Rated Bonus Day in May where every online donation got matched at 25.9%, and a Partner Rewards Bonus Day in July which was our largest GlobalGiving Bonus Day ever!!
Wrapping up an exciting year of matching campaign, we will be hosting our final Bonus Day on September 16th.
Starting at 9am EDT on September 16th, GlobalGiving will be matching online donations at 30% until the $70,000 in matching runs out.
Of course we need to spice it up a little! Not only will there be $70,000 in matching, but GlobalGiving has tripled the amount of Bonus Award money available. Our typical $2,000 in bonuses awards has ballooned up to $6,000!
Here is the prize structure:
To maximize the number of organizations benefiting, an organization can only win ONE of the six prizes, even if it has multiple projects near the top of the Leaderboard.
Also in response to feedback we have gotten from our nonprofit partners, GlobalGiving is changing our donation cap for each donor. The new maximum to be matched is $1,000 per unique donor per organization. This means that your donors can only give $1,000 total that will be matched on Bonus Day, no matter how many projects you have available. If a donor gives $1,000 to multiple of your projects, only the first $1,000 will be matched.
As usual, GlobalGiving will be hosting a webinar to help you prepare for the Bonus Day and to learn more about the new terms and conditions.
Join us on August 26th at either 9am EDT or 3pm EDT.
Terms and Conditions:
Please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.]]>
Notice something different about GlobalGiving? This is a week of big changes! We've launched a new look and feel on GlobalGiving.org that will make it easier and faster for donors to find and give to your organization. The improvements made to globalgiving.org will allow the site to load much more quickly and will look great on tablets and phones. The new homepage, header and footer are just the beginning of the visual changes you'll see over the next several months. Stay tuned for more, and please let us know what you think along the way!
Even more exciting for our nonprofit community is the launch of our new GG Rewards Program. GG Rewards is the product of a culmination of feedback we've collected from our nonprofit community—folks like you—over the past three years about how you'd like GlobalGiving to better work with and reward your organization.
You told us you wanted:
Our Partner Rewards program, launched in 2011, ranked organizations as Partner, Leader, and Superstar. The higher an organization rises through these rankings, the more visibility it receives from donors through corporate recommendations and social media attention. In 2014, we experimented with the Effectiveness Dashboard as a first step in being able to track and reward your organization for not just fundraising on GlobalGiving, but also your efforts to learn and improve. You've given us invaluable feedback over the last year on this initial experiment with tracking effectiveness, and that feedback has been used to shape our new program which launched today, called GG Rewards.
This week, we're proud to announce GG Rewards—a combination of Partner Rewards and the Effectiveness Dashboard—that provides a more streamlined, helpful, and easy way for you to track your organization's performance and to continue to grow both your fundraising and your organizational effectiveness.
If you liked the old Partner Rewards system and you're not interested in exploring any of the effectiveness tools we provide, that's not a problem. You can choose to focus on fundraising and earn points exclusively for fundraising-related activities on GlobalGiving. But, if you're like many of the organizations that we've heard from in the past three years and you want GlobalGiving to provide more flexibility in how you can grow from Partner to Leader to Superstar, the new GG Rewards program provides just that flexibility.
Instead of having to fulfill every requirement in a rigid way, your organization can now earn points in any category it finds the most helpful in order to achieve Superstar status. Earning 18 points from either Effectiveness and/or Engagement activities bumps your organization up to the Leader level. Once your organization earns 36 points in any combination of those two categories, you've reached Superstar Status! (Want to know how we came up with these point levels? Check out this blog for all the details details.)
Engagement and Effectiveness
Since 2011, GlobalGiving has been rewarding organizations for engagement with the GlobalGiving platform – fundraising, reporting, and attracting new donors, among other activities. Those activities are still being tracked under the "Engagement" section of GG Rewards, but now we've added a way for you to get credit for your organization's commitment to learning and improving as well.
Here at GlobalGiving we believe that in order for a nonprofit (including GlobalGiving itself!) to improve, it needs to listen to the people it serves, act on what it hears by testing new ideas, and learn faster and more efficiently. We call this the Cycle of Progress: Listen, Act, Learn. Repeat. The "Effectiveness" section allows your organization to earn points by demonstrating a commitment to learning and improving the work you do on the ground. You can receive points for using different tools available online and completing the Listen, Act, and Learn components for each tool. If you listen, act, or learn from your community outside of GlobalGiving, you can add a tool using the "Create-Your-Own cycle" to receive credit.
We've provided a few options to get you started on your learning journey – options like the Feedback Labs Toolkit to help you listen to feedback from your community and the DIY Toolkit to help spur innovation in your programming.
We recognize you may already be using some amazing tools that help your organization learn. You can easily register those in the Create-Your-Own cycle to get points toward your Superstar status. No one knows your organization better than you do, so we want to empower you to identify the priority areas for your organization, and we want to reward you for doing the things that help you improve the most – whether your priority area is fundraising, listening to your community, strengthening your monitoring and evaluation activities, or anything else that you've identified as an area for growth. Don't know where to start? Our staff is happy to set up a one-on-one consultation to help identify what tools could be the most useful to help your unique organization improve.
Learn more and give us feedback
You can now take a look at your organization's GG Rewards Status by logging in to GlobalGiving. We are also sending out personalized emails to every organization about their GG Rewards Status, how it may change, and what benefits you can expect, so check your inbox!
Still have questions? Start by checking out the GG Rewards FAQ page. We also put together a video tutorial to help you learn how to navigate your new GG Rewards dashboard. As always, we'd love for you to contact a member of our Program Team at firstname.lastname@example.com for general questions, and also take advantage of our one-on-one consultations by signing up here for a more in-depth conversation about your GG Rewards status. We will also be holding a webinar on Wednesday, August 5 at 9am EDT (sign up here) and 3pm EDT (sign up here).
We can only improve if you tell us what you want! Your feedback is vital to us at all stages of this process, so please don't hesitate to share your thoughts. They'll help us improve! Let us know what you think here. We'll to continue to listen, act, learn, and repeat with this new tool so we can continue to get closer to driving more dollars to more effective organizations every day.]]>
Session Recording: http://www.meetingburner.com/b/globalgiving/view_recording?c=DGQ9HT&h=f
Session Summary:
Nonprofit communicators often use visuals and stories that are sad or upsetting because they seem to generate more money. This has been found to help thebottom line as a short-term fundraising effort, but is not a sustainable strategy. Constant exposure to depressing images decrease donors' sense of hope and leads to what we call "compassion fatigue."
Nonprofit communicators must consider the triple bottom line when communicating about impact: Cause, community, cash.
How can we learn to tell stories that work? Listen, Act, Learn, Repeat!
Listen to researchers, peers and stakeholders. Have: "No data without stories and no stories without data" (Jennifer Lentfer). Stories provide context for your data and evoke emotion; this is key to driving both connection and action.
Research: The Stories Worth Telling Report (Julie Dixon) This guide explains how to tell a good story with a focus on five main points.
Research: The Development Element (Jennifer Lentfer) This reference shares insights for creating impactful stories with the correct use of voice.
Research: The Narrative Project (Gates Foundation) This was an effort by major nonprofits to identify narratives that mobilize people to support global development. This study explores the long-term effects of nonprofit communications. It's an alternative to pity-based appeals. This study was developed by conducting an exhaustive study of nonprofit communications, conducting focus groups, and online interviews in the US, UK, France and Germany to determine what story lines actually move donors to give. Main findings:
Test new ideas by gathering data. Use the qualitative and quantitative tools provided in past Academy sessions to make action plans.
Learn from your experiments. After analyzing data, draw some conclusions. Consider your long-term goals as you change and grow.
Growth isn't a linear path, it is cyclical. Be willing to try things multiple times as you continue to listen, act, and learn.
Q: How do you let people speak for themselves?
Alison: Talk with them. Invite them to tell their own story and use quotes from the interview. Run the content by them to see how they feel about what you have written.
Q: What if we do not have enough data to demonstrate that what we will do will have the impact we expected it to have? This makes it difficult to communicate about impact before we have final results.
Alison: That is the powerful part of stories! If we do not have data yet you can share preliminary data alongside a story. You may not exactly know the number of people your work will affect but you can share the story of one person who has been affected so far. Talk about their small victories after gaining independence. Communicate that your organization is important because you can provide the same experience for more people in the future.
Q: Is there a recommended length for telling a story?
Alison: It depends on the medium. An email is different from a blog or facebook post. Try to stick to about 5 paragraphs or less for Project Reports. If readers have to keep scrolling they tend to stop reading.
Q: How important is the subject line of a report or email?
Alison: Very. The subject line is what gets people to open the email. If you have a service like mailchimp you can do an A/B test with different subject lines. GlobalGiving has more resources about writing emails you can refer to.
Q: I wonder if it would be possible to send and test two versions of a project report.
Alexis: It is on our long-term list of desired tech features. We would love for you to be able to test different subject lines through GlobalGiving but it would require a substantial tech investment. We do have an analytics feature on GlobalGiving's site on your dashboard under project entry. Although you cannot currently A/B test subject lines, you can compare the analytics of different reports. For example, we have found that subject lines that are more vague get more opens. This method is not as statistically significant, but it can give general ideas.
Q: I assume Facebook posts should be much shorter than blog posts.
Alison: Yes, look into other quick tips about length of Facebook posts and emails etc.
Q: What if you have an individual that is implementing the project tell their own story?
Alison: The work we do transforms all of us, not just those we intend to help. I could easily see a story that would be compelling about someone who works for your organization experiencing their own transformation. However, it is less powerful for someone to talk about how they made an impact on someone else. Try to make the people you are helping the heroes of your stories.
Q: Is it okay to have a picture of the person whose story you are telling?
Alison: Yes, that is ideal as long as you have their permission.
Q: What if your beneficiaries do not wish to have their photos included on the report?
Alison: Definitely do not use a photo if they do not want it used. Perhaps you can work with them to take pictures that they feel proud of. You can also try to find other photos that demonstrate your work.
Alexis: Try to tell a story that people are proud of so that they can be proud to have their photo tied to it.

At GlobalGiving, we believe that in order for us to be a truly effective organization, you, our nonprofit partners, should help drive everything that we do. Your voices, opinions, and aspirations go into the design, implementation, and evaluation of our programs.
Through this series, we'll share how GlobalGiving is experimenting with and learning from feedback loops. Over the next few weeks, you will hear insights from our own efforts to solicit and learn from feedback, as well as lessons that we have learned from being part of Feedback Labs, a consortium of like-minded organizations committed to making governments, NGOs and donors more responsive to the needs of their constituents.
What is a closed feedback loop?
But first, let's talk about what we think it takes to use feedback effectively using an approach that we call the closed feedback loop. We define a closed feedback loop as a system in which the voices of constituents or community members are heard by decision makers and in which feedback has a measurable impact on the programming, products, and services that affect those individuals. This kind of system ensures accountability, but it also positions constituents or community members as active co-creators with service providers and funders. Learn more about the five steps in a closed feedback loop here.
As a learning organization, GlobalGiving strives to close the feedback loop by collecting and analyzing feedback, engaging in dialogue around that feedback, making changes based on that dialogue, and finally communicating those changes to the community of nonprofits that we support. Our big bet is that utilizing closed feedback loops not only improves GlobalGiving's effectiveness, but also helps you, our nonprofit partners, achieve your mission more effectively. And we're not alone! The authors of this recent article argue that listening to the voices of the individuals that you seek to serve, even as a funding organization, allows you to tap into an invaluable set of insights about your organization's effectiveness. Learn more here.
Like you, we are still learning how to best implement closed feedback loops with the individuals and organizations that we serve. In this series, we will share just some of the ways that GlobalGiving is experimenting with closed feedback loops and begin to report back on the ways that your feedback has already helped to grow and improve GlobalGiving. Stay tuned for more next week!

Identifying Failure
Respond, Communicate, Learn
Create a culture that is healthy and risk-taking
Fourth Quadrant Partners helps its partners achieve their desired outcomes with tools to produce better results in the future. It demonstrates how to acknowledge and learn from failure.
When is a lesson truly learned?
Keep going through learning cycles
Before and After Action Reviews
Q: Do you think the word "failure" in project reporting is about the vocabulary or the sentiment?
Kennedy: I like the vocabulary of "failure" because it is eye catching for donors. "Setback" sounds sugar-coated. Wording may not make a big difference, but I like the drama of "failure."
Marilyn: Some people don't feel comfortable using the word "failure." Vocabulary should be determined by your own environment—you and your board. You can also use "setbacks" to denote a smaller problem or an early indicator that something isn't working. "Failure" can represent larger programmatic issues.
Q: How can you ensure that lessons are learned throughout a large organization?
Marilyn: It is not so important that you learn a specific lesson. It is more important to cultivate an environment that is able to recognize issues as they arise. At Fourth Quadrant Partners we use peer assists. This brings colleagues together to discuss potential issues as we start new projects.
Q: Do you have local women in your staff? Do you think that you approach the community differently as a result of your experiences?
Kennedy: Yes, about half of our staff is made up of local women and half are international. That has been really important to our organization.
Our experiences have definitely changed the way that we do things. For example, we treat all of our cooperatives as a business rather than charity. All weaving centers must now purchase land through the co-op.
Marilyn: You can learn from past experiences by comparing and contrasting lessons you have learned from similar situations. Kennedy showed this in her experiences with the knitters and the weavers.

Use technology to streamline the process.
External monitoring. Auditors visit health centers at random and ask patients of those centers questions about the quality of their care. This ensures that the community is a part of our measurement process.
Q: Elizabeth, how do you use drawings for depth (complex answers)?
Elizabeth: Here is an example. Our water project takes kids into the field to measure water quality and learn about environmental degradation. We have kids draw a picture of a pond before and then after the field trip. We know the program is affecting them because we can compare their understanding of agricultural impact on water quality based on the pictures' content.
Q: Elizabeth, what do you mean when you use one single evaluation for multiple projects?
Elizabeth: We both create one evaluation and use it multiple times, and we use one evaluation for multiple projects. For example, we do conservation education through wildlife clubs which are funded by Disney. Then we have more specific projects like building empathy with chimpanzees which are funded by others. What we want to know from both programs is whether there is a change in the children's attitudes. We measure this with an attitude test; the same evaluation is used for both programs.
Q: Could you provide an example of a project design that included impact from the start?
Elizabeth: I would just say that you have to. Our granting bodies require us to do that. And you must know what you are going to measure ahead of time for statistical analysis.
Emma: Define what impact means for your organization and anything you do should reflect that. Look at your impact results and learn along the way. Find the changes you need to make to improve effectiveness.

Organizations around the world are trying to address incredibly complex social challenges. Here at GlobalGiving, we believe that good feedback loops are a crucial part of addressing these issues effectively: listen, act, learn, repeat.
Feedback, or information about constituents' perceptions of a set of activities and their impact, allows organizations to gain a better sense of communities' realities. When organizations are better able to hear the communities that they work with, they can better understand how to make their projects align with community needs, and ultimately they can improve quality of life.
A closed feedback loop is made up of 5 steps, plus an important preparatory step.
GlobalGiving already uses its Effectiveness Dashboard to reward organizations that are gathering feedback from the individuals who they serve. Now, we would like to offer funding, too!
GlobalGiving's 2015 Feedback Fund offers technical support and up to $2,000 in funding to organizations working to improve their feedback practice. The goal of the fund is to help you learn from your constituents and act on what you learn.
Organizations selected for this opportunity will choose one or more tools from the Feedback Labs Toolkit, and use these tools to improve their feedback practice. The Toolkit has over 90 tools that your organization can use to help facilitate any part of the feedback loop, from design to course correction. Organizations can choose from any of these tools, using them to improve their feedback loops with constituents. Having trouble deciding which tool to use? Here are some examples to get you started.
A maximum of $2,000 in funding may be used to cover costs related to improving some part of the organization's feedback loop. Examples of covered costs include printing surveys, paying for a subscription to one of the Toolkit tools, hiring a temporary intern to carry out the project, providing incentives to volunteers who collect feedback, covering travel-related costs, or financing translation services. Funding may not be used to pay existing staff, and organizations must include a draft budget for the support sought.
In addition to funding, recipients selected for this opportunity also receive support from GlobalGiving's feedback experts, including: a pre-project call with a GlobalGiving feedback expert to offer advice on your project; participation in a collaborative brainstorm to solve problems related to your data; ongoing support from GlobalGiving feedback experts while the project is being conducted; and one round of analysis of the feedback involved in your project.
If no tools in the Toolkit seem to be a good fit for the feedback project that you have in mind, organizations may also apply to self-design. Please contact email@example.com for more information.
In order to be eligible for selection, organizations must fill out this application form and take the Feedback Labs quiz. When taking the quiz, it is important that you enter the email that you use to log-in to GlobalGiving, so that we can appropriately match your application with your organization (and give you Effectiveness points on the GlobalGiving Dashboard for completing the quiz!).
Both of these components of the application should be completed by August 7, 2015.
To provide you with more details about the Feedback Fund and to answer any questions that you may have, GlobalGiving will be hosting a webinar on Friday, July 17th at 9AM ET and 3PM ET.
Sign up for the 9AM ET webinar here.
Sign up for the 3PM ET webinar here.
The Feedback Fund is made possible by a generous grant from the Fund for Shared Insight, a collaborative effort among funders that pools financial and other resources to make grants to improve philanthropy. Shared Insight provides grants to nonprofit organizations to encourage and incorporate feedback from the people we seek to help; understand the connection between feedback and better results; foster more openness between and among foundations and grantees; and share what we learn.]]>
Session Recording: http://www.meetingburner.com/b/globalgiving/view_recording?c=HP7UJJ&h=f
Session Summary:
What makes evidence credible? Use the three classical modes of persuasion.
Legitimize your stories with data and humanize your data through emotional response.
What can we expect along the way to social impact? Breakdown your roadmap.
Road-mapping tools can help to define how you expect to reach your social impact goal. Below are two examples of road-mapping tools. Both provide visual approaches to help you organize the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of projects.
Keep cost and complexity in mind as you develop your plan; the more legitimate your methods are, the more resources it will require. Below are a few examples of measurements which span from the lowest cost and complexity (observations), to the highest (randomized control trials).
Q: Can you talk more about the differences between outcomes and impact?
Jennifer: Here's an example: our activity might be running a children's camp. At the top level we are looking to see whether change is happening for the entire community, whether the society is changing—this is the impact. There is something between the activity and impact, we call these outcomes. When children go home do they take their new knowledge and apply it to their lives? That is an outcome.
Alexis: In our first session Mari shared that she views an outcome as an effect that happens when a targeted community has participated in a program. She considers impact as societal or community change.
Q: Do you have any additional resources you would recommend?
Jennifer: I am happy to provide a problem tree exercise which can help with the problem analysis stage. In terms of collecting data, there are lots of cheap resources you can use now. You can create surveys for mobile devices. You always want to match what you want to know with your methodology, so each organization's methods will be different.
Alexis: A lot of our partners manage their data through simple systems like excel. Many use CRMs, customer relationship managers. It will be useful to discuss this question at our next session.

NBC Wins 13th Consecutive Monday Night in Key Demos
NBC ranks #1 on Monday night among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49 and total viewers, winning six of six half-hours in 18-49 among those networks.
NBC won its 13th consecutive Monday night in adults 18-49 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox and 11th in-season Monday, NBC's longest Monday winning streak in-season in the 25-year history of Nielsen's people meter sample (since September 1987).
* From 8-10:01 p.m. ET, "The Voice" (3.9 rating, 10 share in adults 18-49, 12.0 million viewers overall) delivered the #1 rating of the night on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, making it Monday's top entertainment telecast for a 13th week in a row. "The Voice" topped CBS's comedy lineup from 8-10 p.m. by a margin of 34 percent (with a 3.9 rating vs. a 2.9).
* "The Voice" is up 11 percent in 18-49 versus its rating for the fifth Monday live telecast of its prior cycle (3.5 on April 30).
* At 10:01 p.m. ET, "Blake Shelton's Not So Family Christmas" (2.8/7 in adults 18-49, 9.0 million viewers overall) finished #1 in the time period on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49 and other key demos, topping CBS's "Hawaii Five-0" by a 27 percent margin (2.8 vs. 2.2) and ABC's "Castle" by 65 percent (2.8 vs. 1.7).
* "Blake Shelton's Not So Family Christmas" is up 75 percent versus NBC's average in the time period last season in both 18-49 rating (2.8 vs. 1.6, L+SD non-sports) and total viewers (8.959 million vs. 5.106 million).
* In the 10:30 lead-in to local news, "Blake Shelton's Not So Family Christmas" delivered a 15 percent margin of victory in the key news demo of adults 25-54 (with a 3.1 rating vs. a 2.7 for CBS's second-place "Hawaii Five-0").
In Late-Night Metered Markets Monday night:
* In Nielsen's 56 metered markets, household results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 2.9/7; CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman," 2.6/6; and ABC's combo of "Nightline," 2.9/7; and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 1.5/5 with an encore.
* In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, adult 18-49 results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 0.9/4; "Late Show," 0.7/3; "Nightline," 0.8/3; and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 0.4/3 with an encore.
* At 12:35 a.m., "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" (1.4/5 in metered-market households) beat CBS's "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" (1.3/5). In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, "Late Night" (0.5/3 in 18-49) topped "Late Late Show" (0.4/2).
* At 1:35 a.m., "Last Call with Carson Daly" averaged a 0.9/4 in metered-market households and a 0.3/3 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.
NOTE: All ratings are "live plus same day" from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise indicated. Season figures are averages of "live plus seven day" data except for the two most recent weeks, which are "live plus same day."

Featured Tasting
On Thursday, July 30th from 6:30 to 9:00, we will welcome Rob Fry, the National Sales Manager for Fiddlehead Cellars. Fiddlehead was featured in the movie Sideways for it's Pinot Noir, but also produces a couple of wonderful Sauvignon Blancs, which we will taste. There will be four Pinot Noirs and a Rose'. I am going to see if I can coax a case of their sparkling wine out of them. Chef Jan will of course have a great selection of goodies to pair with the wines. $45 per person, call for reservations soon as space is very limited.
Our Mission
We opened our shop in the hopes of offering a different type of wine store. Our goal is to educate our customers on the joys of trying new wines and reaching beyond the standard varietals. Our plan is centered on the idea of sampling as many wines as possible and we are always willing to open a bottle for the enthusiast wanting to try something new. We feature many wines not seen in other area wine shops and can answer questions about wines and many of the offbeat wine regions of the United States. With over 300 types of sparklers, with an emphasis on the Champagne region of France, we have one of the largest in stock selections in the country.
We are pleased to have been the subject of a recent Business Journal article detailing plans to expand our store between now and October. We will remain open during the construction and will continue to offer a unique selection of events and tastings.
Our goal is to be the "Cheers" of the Cincinnati wine scene, where everyone is comfortable coming in to learn about wine appreciation and meet others who share their interests. We also have plans to open a dedicated tasting room within our first year of operation.
Please join us for wine tastings every Friday, 5:30-8:30 pm. Most weeks we have both a Red Flight and White Flight with at Least six wines each flight. The cost for one flight is $15 or try all the wines for $20.

Colo. officials try to calm immigrants' fears over possible arrest
Rosa Ramirez And Fernando Quintero, Rocky Mountain News

A new law that requires police to report any illegal immigrant they arrest to federal immigration authorities is causing confusion and widespread rumors in the Hispanic immigrant community.
Local Spanish-language radio stations have been inundated with calls this week from people concerned about the law, which was approved by the legislature and signed by Gov. Bill Owens.

'I give them Coca Cola for breakfast!' Brad Pitt's trick to give his brood a kickstart in the morning
He is famed for his paternal instincts as a father of six children.
But Brad Pitt has confessed he sometimes resorts to desperate measures when he attempts to wake up his brood in the mornings - forcing them to drink Coca Cola for breakfast.
The Moneyball star said revealed he uses it as a sweetener for getting out of bed when he is rush to get them out of the door.
Wakey wakey: Brad Pitt has revealed he gives his children Coca Cola to get them out of bed for exciting family expeditions
He said: 'Listen, I admit there's times like, "We gotta get up. Get up! Here's your shoes. Here's your shoes."
Treat: But some will be shocked Brad gives them cola in the morning
'"Drink this Coke. Drink this Coca Cola. Drink it all. Right now! Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!" Just so we could get 'em up and going.'
The revelation is sure to draw criticism among healthy eating groups, as drinking sugary fizzy drinks has been linked to obesity.
Previous scientific studies have found a single can may contain 40 to 50g of sugar, and that somebody who drinks one can a day could put on 15lb over a year.
Brad's confession came ahead of an appearance on US TV institution Inside The Actors Studio.The actor had famously declined an invitation by the show's host James Lipton to appear on the show on 2004.
The Interview With a Vampire star decided against sharing his pearls of wisdom on his craft because he felt he did not have a 'sufficient body of work.'
This despite the fact he had already made popular hits such as , Seven, Fight Club and Troy at that stage in his career.
He had also received a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for his role as mental patient Jeffrey Goines in 1995 blockbuster 12 Monkeys.
He's finally here: Brad Pitt appeared on Inside The Actors Studio last night after previously turning them down in 2004
However he has continued to grow in stature as a Hollywood thespian since then, even losing out for a best actor Academy Award to Sean Penn in 2008.
However with his popular passion project Moneyball netting an impressive six nominations for this year's Oscars, as well as a second best actor shout for Brad, perhaps he felt the time was finally right to appear on the Bravo show.
As well as a broader chat about his career, it is also being billed that he will spill the beans on his bromance with George Clooney,
His appearance is scheduled to air on Friday February 10 at 8pm.
Crowd-pleasers: Jocular host James Lipton was seen hamming it up during the recording in New York last night
Brad has certainly been doing the publicity rounds in the run-up to the movie industry's most prestigious awards ceremony.
He appeared on the Today show this morning alongside his co-star Jonah Hill, who is also nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar.
And later today he was seen arriving for an appearance on The Daily Show, which is hosted by irreverent satirist Jon Stewart.
Brad will no doubt have had a fantastic time appearing on the programme to talk politics with a fellow liberal.
It's good to talk: Brad was flooded with fans when he visited the studio of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in New York today

Weekend preview: Gonzaga can't figure out San Francisco on the road
Feb 15, 2013, 9:30 AM EDT
Who's getting upset? No. 5 Gonzaga at San Francisco (Sat., 4:30 p.m. EST, ROOT):
History is suggesting this one.
Look at the past few years, and the Bulldogs have had an incredibly hard time traveling to War Memorial Gym. The last time they went there, they lost 66-65 last season. The time before that? A 96-91 loss in 2011. Before that? An 81-77 loss. In fact, the last time the Zags won at San Francisco was a 78-74 victory during the 2008-09 season. Not one player on the Dons roster has lost to Gonzaga at home. That's kinda wild. In fact, this San Francisco team doesn't have a senior on its roster.
This Gonzaga team, of course, is much better than the ones that visited before. Actually, it's probably the best team since that one in 2008-09, they went to the Sweet Sixteen that season.
However, I'm a huge believer that mental obstacles exist and are just as tough to get over as physical ones.
UCLA transfer De'End Parker has done his thing since coming over, averaging 12.4 points per game. They'll need big games from Cole Dickerson (14.6 ppg) and Cody Doolin (12.3 ppg). But the real task will fall on guys like Mark Tollefsen, who have to guard Kelly Olynyk in the paint.
The guard play could be somewhat even with Parker v. Pangos, but Gary Bell, Jr. against Cody Doolin is an interesting match-up to look out for.
Who else is on Upset Alert?
Oklahoma at No. 17 Oklahoma State (Sat., 1:30 p.m. EST, ESPN3): You never know what you're going to expect in Bedlam. It's a deeply-rooted rivalry with tons more on the line between the Cowboys and Sooners. I always feel like you can throw a lot of numbers out the window in a big rivalry game. Okie State is hanging in their for a spot in the Big Dance, the Sooners, after their big win over Kansas, are back in position to be on the bubble, which for a team with the recent trials that OU has had, is a great progress. A lot of that is owed the Lon Kruger. Romero Osby v. LeBryan Nash will be interesting, but who will guard Marcus Smart for Oklahoma? Figure that out, and do it, and the Sooners walk out of Gallagher-Iba Arena with a win. Though losing Buddy Hield will be a big problem for OU.
No. 25 Kentucky at Tennessee (Sat., 1:00 p.m. EST, CBS): This is a mental game for the Wildcats. All mental. Can they get past the fact that they've lost their best player and most influential court presence for the season in Nerlens Noel? Or will they fold. Kentucky was getting themselves back into the swing things after a conference swoon, then they never threatened at Florida, even before the Noel injury. Paging Willie Cauley-Stein. You have to guard Jarnell Stokes. Can you?
No. 24 Colorado State at Air Force (Sat., 4:00 p.m. EST, check listings): Psst, the Falcons are one of the better teams in the Mountain West Conference. The problem? NO ONE is talking about them at all. They're 15-8, 6-4 in conference with wins over San Diego State, Wyoming and UNLV. Not sure what else they need to do to get into the conversation. Colorado State is coming off a draining victory over San Diego State. And Air Force is 6-0 at Clune Arena in-conference.

LA Kings activate D Matt Greene after 42 games out
LOS ANGELES -- Defenseman Matt Greene has been activated by the Los Angeles Kings after getting injured in the defending Stanley Cup champions' season opener.
The Kings moved Greene off injured reserve on Friday, adding another important veteran for their playoff push.
Greene injured his back in the Kings' opener Jan. 19 against Chicago. He missed 42 games with the injury, but returned to the ice for practice in recent weeks.
He could boost the Kings as they jockey with San Jose for the fourth playoff seed in the Western Conference.
Greene was a major part of the Kings' sturdy defense during last season's title run, but Greene and fellow veteran defenseman Willie Mitchell have missed virtually the entire season with injuries, forcing Los Angeles to trade for Robyn Regehr and Keaton Ellerby.

Former Navy Seal Glen Doherty killed in Libya: Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Glen Doherty, a former Navy SEAL from Massachusetts, who died along with Ambassador Chris Stevens and Sean Smith in the Benghazi embassy attack. The name of the fourth victim has not been disclosed.
A former ski instructor in Utah, Doherty reportedly trained as a sniper and medical officer after joining the Navy SEALs. He served for seven years before leaving to work at the private security firm.
According to FOX5 in San Diego, Doherty lived in Encintas, Calif., after leaving the Navy. He worked at the CrossFIT/SEALFIT gym as well as security firms. Source: Fox News

SMG Richmond In Advanced Negotiations To Manage Redskins' Training Facility
Published July 30, 2013
HAPPY CAMPERS? In K.C., Adam Teicher notes the Chiefs, "four seasons into a five-year contract to hold training camp at Missouri Western State University, will soon have to make a decision on whether to continue heading north for the summer." Chiefs Chair & CEO Clark Hunt yesterday said, "Personally, I like the team going away and the bonding that takes place in the three or four weeks they're together here. What we have here at Missouri Western is as good as any training facility in the National Football League." But the decision is "more involved than that, and the wishes of coach Andy Reid might carry the most weight." Reid has said that he "likes bringing a team away from its own practice facility for training camp" (K.C. STAR, 7/30).

Cyber-Theft from Our Nation's Banks a Growing Threat
We are all suffering from the mistaken idea that our money is "safe" after we put it in a bank. The fact is your money is at risk every day as it sits in your bank or with your financial services provider. It isn't necessarily because those institutions will waste it, misspend it, or invest it badly. It's because of the newest yet the oldest financial problem, bank robbery.
Now, it isn't that we have to worry about a resurgence of the old fashioned way of robbing banks. Criminals aren't stealing millions by running into bank lobbies and making frightened cashiers empty out tills into pillow cases. No, the problem is the new, self-styled cyber-criminal using the Internet to steal millions from banks, and often the theft happens days before the bank is even aware it occurred.
Cyber-theft is a growing and dangerous problem. Unfortunately, many banks and other financial services haven't taken enough measures to stop or even detect these thefts until it is too late. Worse, in many cases banks and financial services are telling account holders — that would be you and me — that the loss is irretrievable and, well, you are just out of luck. The cash is gone and there's nothing that can be done about it.
Most of these cyber-thieves are from Ukraine or other former Soviet Bloc countries and it's been going on for nearly 20 years. Specializing in Corporate Account Takeover's (CATs), these foreign thieves create fake accounts and via the Internet worm their way into the computer records of banks and their customers and successfully transfer millions in relatively small amounts to untraceable accounts.
And the dirty little secret: unlike our individual bank accounts that are covered by FDIC insurance, the accounts of small businesses, non-profits, cities and their police and fire departments (i.e. your tax dollars) are NOT covered by any such insurance guarantees. So once the money is gone, it's gone forever.
The scariest thing is that banks and financial services seem more interested in spending large sums of money on lawyers charged with preventing account holders from suing to get their lost money back than they are in putting in place preventive measures to stop the theft in the first place.
But things are heating up for these recalcitrant banks though.
For instance, TRC Operating Company, an independent oil producer based in Taft, California, is suing its bank to recover $299,600 that organized cyber thieves stole from the company accounts held at United Security Bank of Fresno.
TRC isn't the only one. CAT victims are starting to demand compensation from banks asleep at the switch. Recently in California, Village View Escrow Company of Redondo Beach was successful in winning a settlement sufficient enough to cover its legal costs for suing its bank plus some extra.
In Michigan a state circuit judge ruled that banks and financial services had to offer more than bland apologies in CAT cases. The standard of "good hearts, empty heads," the judged said, doesn't meet the demands of reasonable protection for customer's accounts.
Also, in Portland, Maine, Patco Construction won a suit against its bank for a CAT theft. The court ruled that even though the bank had instituted cyber security measures to industry standards, those standards are so deficient as to have made the bank's efforts unsatisfactory.
These major cases show that CAT victims are neither remaining silent, nor taking their loss without seeking redress. Banks and the financial services industry need to step up their game on cyber security and lawmakers should act to bring more transparency to the process. The days of just doing a minimal job at prevent cyber-theft must end and better theft prevention measures instituted. Customers already expect that their money is safe in the bank, it's time to ensure that it is.

The syndecans are a family of heparan sulfate-decorated cell-surface proteoglycans: matrix receptors with roles in cell adhesion and growth factor signaling. Their heparan sulfate chains recognize 'heparin-binding' motifs that are ubiquitously present in the extracellular matrix, providing the means for syndecans to constitutively bind and cluster to sites of cell–matrix adhesion. Emerging evidence suggests that specialized docking sites in the syndecan extracellular domains may serve to localize other receptors to these sites as well, including integrins and growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. A prototype of this mechanism is capture of the αvβ3 integrin and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) by syndecan-1 (Sdc1), forming a ternary receptor complex in which signaling downstream of IGF1R activates the integrin. This Sdc1-coupled ternary receptor complex is especially prevalent on tumor cells and activated endothelial cells undergoing angiogenesis, reflecting the up-regulated expression of αvβ3 integrin in such cells. As such, much effort has focused on developing therapeutic agents that target this integrin in various cancers. Along these lines, the site in the Sdc1 ectodomain that is responsible for capture and activation of the αvβ3 or αvβ5 integrins by IGF1R can be mimicked by a short peptide called 'synstatin', which competitively displaces the integrin and IGF1R kinase from the syndecan and inactivates the complex. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the Sdc1-coupled ternary receptor complex and the efficacy of synstatin as an emerging therapeutic agent to target this signaling mechanism.
