AUSTIN, Texas -- An expert witness says the poorest school districts in Texas tax at a rate that is 7.8 percent higher than the state's wealthiest districts but receive 35 percent less in per student funding.
Equity Center Executive Director Wayne Pierce testified Thursday on behalf of 650 poor school districts who claim that the property tax system that Texas uses to pay for public schools is unfair.
Pierce said that the bottom 15 percent of schools districts collected an average of $5,581 per student per year, compared to $7,535 per student for the wealthiest districts. He said the problem is not that wealthy districts have too much money, but that poor districts have too little.
Attorneys for the state have argued that the school funding system is not broken.

Charitable Organizations and their Positions on the Life Issues
The list of charitable research organizations and their corresponding positions on the life issues posted to our website is neither all pro-life nor all anti-life; it is mixed. Unfortunately, most of the organizations on our list are marked with the red minus sign. It is simply just a sad fact that most national medical research/advocacy groups support some form of unethical research. There is no listing, to our knowledge, of only pro-life research organizations.
A green positive/plus sign indicates that ALL considers the organization worthy of support from pro-lifers. ALL considers an organization to be pro-life if it is opposed to abortion, human embryonic stem cell and/or aborted fetal body parts research, all forms of cloning and other attacks against the human person at any stage of development as well as Planned Parenthood Federation and other pro-abortion organizations.
A red negative/minus signs indicates that ALL does not consider the organization worthy of support from pro-lifers. If the organization supports, in any way (theory, advocacy, lobbying, granting and/or research) any offenses to life, it is not considered pro-life. Further, if any organization refuses to answer our inquiries, refuses to be clear about its position and/or attempts to couch its answer in terms of referring to another agency (i.e., federal government branches), it is not considered pro-life.
A plain yellow circle indicates that ALL urges caution when considering support for the organization due to a change in a prior rating. That is, an organization may have previously received a green positive or a red negative because of certain policy positions which are now questionable or cannot be verified.
The rating is based on the organization's response to written correspondence (regular postal or e-mail), a review of the organization's website, verifiable news reports, verifiable correspondence forwarded to us by others and/or a combination of any of these.
Research into other organizations not listed is an on-going process, but may be limited by staff and resources at ALL. If you have information (and documentation) about organizations that you would like to see listed, we would be most happy to receive it. Currently, we are not in a position to print the list (it amounts to more than 100 pages, not including documentation in hyperlinks) however, feel free to pass the link to the website to everyone you know!

Liz Scott, Alex's mother and co-executive director of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, stated in an e-mail to ALL in May, 2012, that: "Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation has not funded anything even remotely related to embryonic stem cell research."
However, when it was pointed out to Mrs. Scott that, according to the Foundation's website, there were grant funds being directed toward researchers and research facilities that support, promote and conduct such research, she responded:
"Although we have not issued a public policy position, I can tell you that ALSF has always followed all federal guidelines for research that involves human-derived cells and tissues. We are very sensitive to the variety of opinions on issues related to stem cells, and are committed to funding research programs that meet all of the stringent ethical standards at the institutional, foundation and government levels, that are designed to find cures for childhood cancer. I can tell you that when we award funds to our grant recipients 100% of the funds are used for their project only—the institution is not allowed to take any indirect costs or general operating costs from the award funds or to use funds for other projects."
ALL cautions that federal guidelines allow for both human embryonic stem cell research and the use of aborted fetal materials in research.
When contacted by email in July 2014 with an update request, someone by the name of Lisa responded:
"We do not have a policy. We have never received an application that includes embryonic stem cells so this isn't an issue for us."
When asked what the organization would do if it did receive a grant application that involved the use of human embryonic stem cells or aborted fetal material, there was no further reply.

The Alliance for Aging Research is a 501(c)(3) group that advocates for medical research and scientific discoveries to improve the health and independence of Americans as they age. As such, the Alliance supports public policies that advance research involving both adult and embryonic stem cells and regenerative medicine in general.
While the Alliance for Aging Research opposes efforts to copy human life through cloning technologies, it is a leader among patient groups and science advocates supporting public funding for broad activities in stem cell research as well as therapeutic cloning of compatible stem cell lines for research and potential therapies. On its own and through membership in the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research, the Alliance will support the enactment of legislation to encourage increased federal funding for advances in stem cell research.
UPDATE: July 2, 2014
In an email to ALL from Noel Lloyd, Communications Manager at AAR:
The Alliance supports public policies that advance medical research with the potential to prevent, postpone or otherwise lessen diseases and disabilities that increase with aging. This includes policy support – though not direct funding – of a broad scope of regenerative medicine, including research on induced pluripotent and human embryonic stem cells.

"The Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM)'s mission is to advance regenerative medicine by representing, supporting and engaging all stakeholders in the field, including companies, academic research institutions, patient advocacy groups, foundations, health insurers, financial institutions and other organizations."
According to the website, regenerative medicine includes cell-based therapies, gene therapy, biologics, tissue engineering, bio-banking, and stem cells for drug discovery, toxicity testing and disease modeling. It is this last branch of regenerative medicine which causes the most concern: "Companies are increasingly learning to leverage the use of stem cells and/or living tissue constructs to create in vitro models to study human mechanisms of disease and the effects of drugs on a variety of cell and tissue types such as human heart, liver and brain cells. These models, built predominantly using embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, allow for faster and safer drug development."
Many of ARM's members (http://alliancerm.org/member-profiles) are companies, foundations, and associations with public positions of support for human embryonic stem cell research.

In an email to ALL from Carrie Munk at the ALS Association July 2, 2014:
The ALS Association primarily funds adult stem cell research. Currently, The Association is funding one study using embryonic stem cells (ESC), and the stem cell line was established many years ago under ethical guidelines set by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS); this research is funded by one specific donor, who is committed to this area of research. In fact, donors may stipulate that their funds not be invested in this study or any stem cell project. Under very strict guidelines, The Association may fund embryonic stem cell research in the future.
The ALS Association also financially supports NEALS (the Northeast ALS Consortium) which performs human embryonic stem cell research:
The ALS Association Awards $500,000 to the NEALS Consortium for Its TREAT ALS™ Clinical Trials Network
For the sixth consecutive year, The ALS Association is pleased to announce its support of the Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS), the largest consortium of ALS clinical researchers in the world. This year's award totals $500,000 and will fund new initiatives and ongoing programs that will increase the quality and efficiency of clinical trials for ALS.

The American Cancer Society is not considered a pro-life organization for the following reasons:
1. Support for human embryonic stem cell research
2. Grant funding at facilities known prominently for human embryonic stem cell research
3. Grant funding to Planned Parenthood
4. Referrals to Planned Parenthood as a health information/education resource
5. Donations to the Lance Armstrong LiveStrong Global Cancer Campaign (see entry for LiveStrong)
6. Failure to acknowledge the link between previously induced abortion and risk for breast cancer
7. Suggested fertility options including IVF, embryo freezing, egg/sperm donation and surrogacy
The American Cancer Society (ACS) has, for many years, insisted that the federal government "remains the institution best suited to both fund and oversee research using human embryonic stem cells" while claiming to fund only "explorations into uses of human adult stem cells and stem cells from umbilical cord blood."
However, in August 2001, when then-President Bush signed an executive order restricting federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research to stem cell lines that were already in existence at the time, the ACS issued a statement commending the administration for allowing stem cell research to proceed, and expressed hope for its future.
"The Society believes that such research holds extraordinary potential in the fight against a variety of life-threatening diseases currently afflicting an estimated 140 million Americans," the statement said. It continued, "The American Cancer Society commends the Administration for allowing this vital scientific research to proceed—even in a limited way."
"The American Cancer Society remains hopeful that both the government and commercial sectors will continue to work collaboratively and with an open mind to explore additional solutions that will allow for the continuation of human embryonic stem cell research as necessary and appropriate," the ACS statement concluded.
These statements can no longer be found on the ACS website, but can be viewed here:
Keep in mind that during the eight years that followed Bush's order, Congress passed legislation to expand human embryonic stem cell research and each time it was vetoed. When President Barack Obama took office in 2009, one of his first acts as president was to issue an executive order expanding the research policy. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) began funding grants in the field of human embryonic stem cell research.
No ACS grants which provide for the direct funding of human embryonic stem cell research have been identified; however, grant funding to facilities and labs where such research abounds is indeed prominent.
The American Cancer Society has, in the past, also awarded financial grants to Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading provider of abortion.
Despite the outcry over the connection to Planned Parenthood, the ACS maintains the association. Visitors to the ACS website can type Planned Parenthood into the search field and find a number of results:
Referral to Planned Parenthood as source of information and support for testicular cancer:
http://www.cancer.org/cancer/testicularcancer/moreinformation/doihavetesticularcancer/do-i-have-testicular-cancer-add-res and
Referral to Planned Parenthood as source of information and support for cervical cancer:
The ACS refers to Planned Parenthood as a Voluntary Health Organization which should be invited into schools:
Planned Parenthood affiliate locations are used as sites for ACS awareness activities:
The ACS notes that use of IUDs correlate with decreased risk of cervical cancer and that multiple pregnancies correlate to increased risk. The ACS recommends the HPV vaccine (Gardasil or Ceravax). The ACS also lists Planned Parenthood Federation of America as a source of information and support concerning HPV.
J. Diane Redd, ACS' Director for Major and Planned Gifts for New Jersey is a former fundraiser for Planned Parenthood:
Mady J. Schuman, a member of ACS' executive leadership used to work for Planned Parenthood:
Kris Kim, ACS' CEO for the Eastern Division was the associate vice president for communications at Planned Parenthood New York City:
Similarly, the American Cancer Society has links to another pro-hESCR/pro-abortion organization—Lance Armstrong's LIVESTRONG. The ACS is listed as an "ambassador" to the LIVESTRONG Global Cancer Campaign in honor of Lance Armstrong's return to professional cycling (http://www.livestrong.org/Who-We-Are/Our-Strength/LIVESTRONG-Societies/Ambassadors). Ambassadors committed to donating $250,000 or more in 2009.
Lance Armstrong supports human embryonic stem cell research http://livestrongblog.org/2009/03/09/president-obama-lifts-stem-cell-funding-ban/ and the LIVESTRONG Foundation lists abortion providers on its website.
Aside from the American Cancer Society's support for human embryonic stem cell research and questionable grant funding, it refuses to acknowledge the abortion/breast cancer link and declines to even support the idea that doctors should mention it to their patients.
Source: http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/newsletter102202.htm
Lastly, in its document on fertility in women with cancer, the ACS suggests egg freezing, embryo freezing, in vitro fertilization, egg donation, and surrogacy.
And, in its document on fertility in men with cancer, the ACS suggests sperm banking, sperm donation and in vitro fertilization.

The American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) is a consumer education consortium concerned with issues related to food, nutrition, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, lifestyle, the environment, and health. ACSH was founded in 1978 by a group of scientists who had become concerned that many important public policies related to health and the environment did not have a sound scientific basis. These scientists created the organization to add reason and balance to debates about public health issues and to bring common sense views to the public.
"I'm pleased with the court's [U.S. appeals court rules in favor of stem cell research, August 2012] decision," says ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross, "since stem cells have such vast potential to solve currently insoluble medical problems, including illnesses such as ALS and perhaps, eventually, Alzheimer's disease. Certainly, to continue scientific advances in this field, research on stem cells must not be discouraged."
ACSH has been a fervent advocate for supporting research progress in ESCs (embryonic stem cells) for years, despite the controversy involving the objections of some to using human embryonic tissues in research.

The American Heart Association website states the following regarding stem cell research:
Stem Cell Research
The American Heart Association funds meritorious research involving human adult stem cells — because it helps us fight heart disease and stroke. We don't fund research involving stem cells derived from human embryos or fetal tissue.
However, it continues:
Inducing adult stem cells into a pluripotent state may lead to patient-specific cell therapies that could reduce many of the underlying complications in therapies with embryonic stem cells.
It's important for research to continue in both cell types. To know how induced adult stem cells need to perform, we must know more about the innate function of embryonic stem cells.

DURHAM, N.H. – Corinne Coia (North Smithfield, R.I.) of the women's basketball team and Steven Thames (Fort Washington, Md.) of the football team are featured in this week's Service Credit Union Student-Athlete Spotlight. This information and more can be found in the Wildcat Weekly Roundup.
Click here to learn about the official debit card of the UNH Wildcats, available only at Service Credit Union.
Corinne Coia, women's basketball
Corinne, a sophomore from North Smithfield, R.I., recorded her second career double-double with a personal-best 19 points and 11 rebounds, which matched her career high, in the UNH women's basketball team's 69-58 loss to Boston University on Dec. 22.
The 6-foot-4 forward, who redshirted the 2012-13 season after transferring from the University of Rhode Island, made 8 of 14 field goal attempts and shot 3-for-4 from the foul line in a season-high 35 minutes. Corinne also recorded one assist, one steal and a block against the Terriers.
Earlier in the week (Dec. 15) against Cleveland State University, Corinne finished with eight points, four rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes; the three assists matched her personal best.
Through 11 games this season, Corinne leads the team in scoring (12.1 points per game) and is third in rebounding (5.8 rpg). She also leads the team in both field goals made (56) and attempted (123), and is tied for the lead in field goal percentage (.455). In other stats, Corinne has a team-high 37 free throws attempts and is second in free throws made (21).
Corinne has scored in double digits eight times this season and began the year by matching her previous high of 16 points in consecutive games against Worcester State and NJIT. She recorded her first career double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds against Colgate (Nov. 25).
Prior to coming to UNH, Corinne played in 27 of 29 games as a freshman at URI in the 2011-12 season. She ranked third on the team in points (207), field goal percentage (.407) and rebounds (107). Corinne also ranked second in both free throws made (54) and attempted (77) as well as fifth in minutes (608).
Steven Thames
Steven, a junior from Fort Washington, Md., recorded his second pick-six of the season to give the 15th-ranked UNH football team an early 7-0 lead, but the Wildcats were defeated 52-14 by top-seeded North Dakota State University in an FCS semifinal at Fargodome on Dec. 20.
On the third play of the game from scrimmage, Steven's 38-yards interception return down the left sideline gave the 'Cats a 7-0 lead at 13:37. It marked the third consecutive game with an interception and fourth of the season for Steven, who also had a pick-six Oct. 12 vs. the University of Rhode Island. He finished the game with four tackles.
In 14 games this season, the defensive back finished with 46 solo tackles and nine assisted tackles for a total of 55. Steven led the team in interceptions and ranked second in pass breakups with 11. He was also credited with a forced fumble in the Sept. 28 game at Lehigh; he tallied a career-high eight tackles – all solo – that game.
Steven has played in 34 career games and has amassed 86 tackles as well as six interceptions. In played in all 12 games last year as a junior, when he tallied 24 tackles, two interceptions and two pass breakups.

First, recognize cats and dogs are two different species and they view the world differently, especially in your home.
"Cats are territorial. When you go on vacation, they're just happy to get a post card," says Pam Johnson-Bennett, animal behaviorist and author in Nashville, Tenn. "Dogs are a different story. They want to go with you on vacation. As long as they are with you, they are happy."
Hierarchy Versus TerritoryJohnson-Bennett's tongue-in-cheek comment actually highlights the essential difference in what makes dogs and cats tick. Dogs, being pack animals, look to a leader for guidance, direction and approval. They gladly follow the leader and contentedly accept their place in the household hierarchy.
Cats, on the other hand, are more turf-oriented. And, while they certainly bond with their human companions, cats tend to feel more anxious or defensive than dogs when their territory namely, your house gets disturbed or threatened by change or a newcomer. For the unsuspecting new dog entering your home, this can mean trouble.
That's why it is important to understand how dogs and cats socialize before making the introductions, says Larry Lachman, Psy.D. and animal behavior consultant in Carmel, Calif. In his new book, Cats on the Counter, Lachman addresses the topic of bringing a new dog into a cat household.
"A well meaning, fun-loving dog may chase a cat thinking it's a playmate. Dogs chase as part of their play," Lachman says. "For the cat, that may mean its territory has been violated and it may defend that territory. This can be very traumatic for the cat. If either animal has not had a previous positive history with the other, then the introduction can be very difficult."
Betty Fort Worth, TX
Any suggestions for making it acceptable for each of them and having harmony. We are having real trouble and so far I think the dog would really harm the cat and the cat would be unable to defend itself as it has been declawed.

Saw a story on the local news last night
'Bout one more struggling single mother
She was talkin' 'bout how hard it is gettin' by
With no help, no money, no nothin' from the baby's father
Made me think about this guy I know with a wife and a child
Who's working two jobs just to get by
Yeah, he says he'd do anything he could in this world
Just to give his young family a better life;
Yeah, a better life
Oh, that's a man
That's a 19-year-old, modern day hero man
Those two young Marines over there fighting for their country
Man, they're gonna be friends forever
They both come back eventually but as bonds and destiny would have it
They don't come back together
Yeah, the one who lived to tell about why he can't even talk about it
Keeps fighting that fight up there in his head
Ain't a day goes by he don't wonder why, why it wasn't me instead
It could've been me instead
Oh, that's a man
That's a you don't know how hard he tried to save his buddy's life man
I don't know about you but sometimes,
I just need a little remindin'
Reach down and find some understandin'
Find some kind of kindness
Read about a man who said his family had been farming the same land in Ohio
For a hundred years
Felt like he'd paid for it ten times over
With his own blood, his own sweat, and his own tears
If he had to, he'd be out there on that tractor workin'
Seven long, hot days a week
Yeah, he's the kind of fellathat people get real quiet
When he stands up in church to speak
They know when he speaks
Oh, that's a man
That's a stand tall, walk straight put God's share in the collection plate man
Oh, that's a man
Oh, that's a man

Read Poems by
Heaven Lorenz
"The Promise that Remains"
It doesn't matter that we have yet to met,
I know that you and I have something special
There's a promise that will always remain,
You have my word to be there for you.
You keep from my dark past
With the kindest words I've ever heard
No matter what, our promise remains.
Even though, I don't understand how you
Can so willingly put trust in God.
Thank you for treating me no
Different than those who do.
With every question, you always
Have an understandable answer.
I thank God that we somehow
Met. Without you, I'd be crazy.
Miles separate our bodies
But we always understand each
Other. When you write of heartbreak
And pain, your words ring true.
Whenever you need someone to
Talk to about issues you face or
Someone to just joke around with,
I will always listen.
This is a written promise to you
That can't be broken by anyone.
As years go by and lives change,
This promise will remain.
It's been a year but this feels
Like forever. Within this short amount
Of time, our friendship has blossomed.
And, my promise still remains.

Club History
The Royal Automobile Club of Australia started life in 1903 as a motoring organisation for horseless carriage owners. It still caters for motorists, but today it is more widely recognised as the country's premier business club. The Club's historic building at 89 Macquarie Street offers members and guests a luxurious centrally located oasis together with extensive recreation facilities, fine dining, first-class accommodation and personal service from attentive, professional staff.
A Rich History
The story of the The Royal Automobile Club of Australia is the history of major changes in our society through the introduction of the automobile. Since 1903 the Club has reflected a history of innovation and vision with the automobile, the introduction of which has altered the face of our society irrevocably.
Throughout the Club's history Members have enjoyed a range of social activities themed around the automobile. And while the interests have widened, travel, touring and collecting automobiles and memorabilia have remained key areas of activities.
1903 – 1912
The Automobile Club of Australia was officially formed to "foster motoring and assist motorists". In March 1903 Henry Skinner initially organised a gathering of interested parties, and in October that year H A Jones was elected as the inaugural President. The Constitution and the rules were adopted, together with the Club colours red, blue and gold.
In the first decade of operation the ACA hosted a number of competitive events for automobile owners and negotiated with country hoteliers to stock fuel, making them Australia's first petrol stations.
In 1909 the Club issued a protest regarding the behaviour of horse drawn vehicles, responding to criticism of motor cars from horse drawn passengers. The Government charged the Club with responsibility for issuing Competency Certificates to drivers and the first driver examiners were H Skinner and CO Sherwood, Club Members.
Issues which were high on the agenda were road conditions, vehicle taxation, vehicular ferry services, safety and street signage; in all of which the Club took a leading role.
1913 – 1922
The second decade of operation saw many Members place their cars at the disposal of the military. The Club continued to work with the Superintendent of Traffic on critical matters such as the need for brakes, sharing the road with horses and bush bikes, speed limits, railway crossings and the danger of slow moving vehicles on the "wrong" side of the road.
In 1919 the King approved the conferral of "Royal" status on the Club with it now being called the Royal Automobile Club of Australia. Issues high on the Club's agenda were links to Newcastle and the Spit Bridge in Mosman, Sydney. During this decade the Club also worked with the National Roads and Motorists Association formerly the NRA in lobbying tax and traffic regulations.
In 1922 the Club also purchased a site in north Macquarie St Sydney, which was to become its permanent home, and which remains today the site of the Club.
1923 – 1932
Architects HE Ross and H Ruskin Rowe were commissioned to design the new Club and work commenced in 1926. Ross and Rowe had earlier designed the Commonwealth Bank in Martin Place. The Governor General, Lord Stonehaven laid the foundation stone. Today the Club enjoys the unique environment of a heritage listed building.
Despite the Depression, during this decade Club Members continued to be actively involved in motoring sports. English woman Miss Violette Cordery visited the Club in her capacity as the RAC's worldwide test driver of the Invicta car.
1933 – 1942
The Club was vocal in its opposition to petrol taxes and in support of equitable tolls on bridges and roads. Road service activities continued and a new country service scheme was introduced it 1935 to help rural and touring city Members at 113 stations across the state of NSW. The Club joined the Road Safety Council and ran a series of "Safety First" lectures in schools.
In 1938, upon the suggestion of the Club, the first lane markers were painted on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the Club recommended a highway to join the rapidly expanding Mascot airport to the city.
While the Club was actively involved in motor sports these activities were suspended during WWll.
Vehicles were mobilised for the Red Cross and 136 vehicles made available to transport the wounded from ships to hospitals. Petrol rations were distributed by the Club and it became involved in lectures for those powering the cars by "producers gas" (burning charcoal).
1943 – 1952
The Club continued to take an active role in the "Road's Case" to support uniform traffic laws across Australia. In 1945 the Club's road service and insurance for Members ceased and was ceded to the NRMA.
The end of the War signalled a return to motor sport in NSW and control of this was vested to the Club on behalf of the Australian Automobile Association. Links were forged with the MG Car Club, Australian Sporting Car Club, the Vintage Club and many others.
1953 – 1962
The Club celebrated it jubilee and also marked Sir Samual Horderns 50th years as a Member. The Club's Membership expanded to include professional and business people from the city and country NSW.
A newly equipped health club was added and the range of activities in which the Club was involved expanded beyond the motor car. The Club Trophy was introduced in 1963 by Sam Horden (son of Sir Sam) to coincide with the opening of Warwick Farm motor racing.
1963 – 1972
A Club Ladies Committee was formed in 1969. The Club Trophy was contested throughout the decade with traditional events at Wallacia (hill climbs) and standing quarter mile tests at Castlereagh airstrip.
The Club NSW Tourism Trophy replaced the Club Trophy and was contested at Oran Park, Amaroo and Eastern Creek. The Royal Automobile Club of Australia continued lobbying for road safety and petrol prices through the AAA. In 1981 the Club sold an adjoining property in Albert St which later became the Quay Apartments.
1983 – 1992
In 1987 The Club incorporated the Imperial Services Club. This important relationship continues with Members of the armed services, Reservists and retired officers. In March 1988 the Club hosted the Bicentennial Castrol World Rally. More than 250 cars and 600 competitors joined the event. In September 1988 a nine day tour for 28 American and British made cars from 1924 to 1929 was organised.
1993- 2002
In 1994 refurbishment of the Club was completed within the context of its heritage designation. The first web site was built in 2000 to coincide with Sydney's hosting of the Olympics.
2003 and Beyond
The Club celebrated its Centenary in 2003 and developed a Centenary book which contains more detail about the history of the Club. These are available for sale and contain a comprehensive history of the Club.
The Club Membership includes categories such as city based, country, interstate and overseas. They enjoy a range of fine facilities and services upon which to grow Membership into the new millennium.

Research interests
My research interests focus on philanthropy, charitable giving, and the charity sector.
I work within the Centre for Philanthropy, which explores philanthropic activities, social patterns of giving and the redistributive impact of transfers from private wealth to the public good. I also have an interest in the impact of philanthropy on social policy and political processes, and vice versa.
From 2013-2016 I have a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship to undertake a project called 'The Formation of Fundraisers: the role of social skills in asking for money'. This study will explore the art of fundraising and the personality traits of successful fundraiser.
I have received funding from the European Commission to undertake a study of the role of philanthropic fundraising in universities across the European Union, and I have funding from Coutts & Co bank to write an annual report on UK charitable donations worth £1 million or more.
From 2008-2013 I was a researcher within the national Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy (CGAP), which was funded by the ESRC, the Office of Civil Society, the Scottish Executive and the Carnegie UK Trust.
The four projects I undertook within CGAP were concerned with donors' awareness of the nature and distribution of charitable benefit; the role that perceptions of need plays in donors' selection of beneficiaries; relationships between givers and receivers and the social space bridged by donations; and the representation of need in charitable appeals and its impact on beneficiaries.
My doctoral thesis, completed in 2009, investigates the meaning and purpose of philanthropy in contemporary UK society. Based on secondary analysis of the public statements and giving patterns of 170 of the most significant philanthropists operating in the UK today, it argues that philanthropy is primarily a social relationship between givers and receivers, rather than merely a financial transaction, and that the philanthropic acts of the wealthy are part of a strategy - conscious or otherwise - to find meaning and purpose in their life whilst creating and communicating a positive identity to themselves, their loved ones and the wider community.

Try out SendPostcard and receive a free iPhone case!
How does it work?
All you have to do is send a postcard with our app. We will send a totally free iPhone case to the return address on the first postcard you send. The return address does have to be in the United States.
Is it really free?
Yes. Downloading the app is free, and the first postcard you send is free.
Can I get more than one case?
You greedy person, you! We are limiting the free case to one per account and one per address. You can't just create a bunch of accounts to get a bunch of cases. If you really want another case, they are for sale for $5.99 each.
I already have an iPhone case, why should I get another one?
Perhaps your case is beat up, out of style, or maybe you want to have a choice of cases to match your outfit. If you get this awesome case, you will have a cool blue option. You could also give this case to a friend and make their day. See? You really do want something free!
When should I expect to receive my free case?
We will be shipping out your case the day after you send your first postcard. They are shipped via the US Postal Service from the east coast. Transit times can vary from 2 to 10 days, depending on where you live.

It will protect your phone from scratches and small drops. Plus, the translucent blue with our logo on it just looks cool! ( If you really really don't like our logo, you can probably scrape that off.)

Are you really asking for all of our secrets? First and foremost, we want you to try out our app. Also by giving you a case with our app name on it, it will remind you to regularly use our app when you want to quickly send someone a personal note through the mail.

Wait, what is the catch?
See? We told you it was painless. The catch is that you have to download and try out our app. If you like the app, we would really appreciate a five star review in the app store.

Durham Rescue Mission opens new center in style
When 41-year-old Demetrius Porter thought about being able to sleep in a bed Wednesday night instead of on a concrete floor, his face lit up.
The quality of life for Porter and dozens of other homeless men changed dramatically Wednesday, when the Durham Rescue Mission opened its $4.5 million Center for Hope.
The center, next to the Christian shelter's church building on East Main Street, has been a dream of the mission's founder for years.
That dream came true with the recent completion of the building, which has beds for 88 men, a large dining room with a 12-foot television screen and a commercial grade kitchen.
It was a night to remember as more than 100 people with empty stomachs but full of hope for the future were treated to sirloin steaks, fried chicken, free haircuts and big-screen entertainment provided by the Duke-Wake Forest basketball game.
Until Wednesday, many homeless men at the shelter had to sleep on the floor, because there weren't enough beds.
"The only thing I can say about sleeping on the floor is that every night, I knew I had something to look forward to," Porter said.
Porter has been in and out of the Rescue Mission and on and off drugs and alcohol for the past 10 years. But this time, he believes, he's clean for good.
"When I saw the new building, I was like: 'I've got to be a part of this'," he said. "It's time for me to stick and stay."
"What I'm learning here is how to be a man," he said. "It's time to put away childish things."
Another shelter resident, 21-year-old Jeremy Broughton of Roxboro, was on the street until he found the mission a month ago.
"I was doing a lot of drugs," he said. "I didn't eat much food."
His identical-twin brother, Josh, came to the mission a year ago, and Jeremy saw how the experience changed his life for the better.
"He's been trying to get me to come here, because he knew about the drugs and that I wasn't doing well with my life," he said. "I saw a lot of positive changes in my brother, and so I decided to come here."
Jeremy has been clean for a month, and said his life is now full of joy.
"This place is just working a miracle in me," he said. "Out there, I wasn't concerned about anybody. But here, I love everybody, and I'm trying to fix my life."
The Rev. Ernie Mills and his wife, Gail, founded the mission in 1974. It offers long-term shelter, counseling and vocational training to an average of 350 men, women and children each day.
They expect the Center for Hope to live up to its name.
"I am just overwhelmed at how nice the building is, and how the donors wanted to make it nice for the homeless," Ernie said.
Mills said he often thinks of his father when reflecting on the center's main purpose.
"My dad was an alcoholic and a sharecropper," he said. "And we want to treat the homeless like I would want to treat my dad. That's what we want to do."

Hi, my name is George and I would like to welcome you to Withdrawal-Ease.com. I'd like to talk about the Withdrawal Ease story because I think it's important for you to know why I started this endeavor in 2008.
Before starting Withdrawal Ease, I was a small business owner and partner in healthcare marketing company. I decided to create Withdrawal Ease due to my own personal experience with prescription painkillers and to help the millions of people out there suffering from painkiller dependence and addiction. It all started with a situation that perhaps many of us have been in before.
In 2005 I was diagnosed with severe cervical spinal stenosis and consequently had to undergo a major surgery to implant a metal plate in my neck to stabilize my neck and take pressure off of my spinal cord. I was prescribed a litany of prescription pain medications for pain and had to keep taking higher doses to manage the nerve pain that kept plaguing me. Doctors orders, you see.
My tolerance for opiates was going up and I was slowly but surely becoming physically dependent on these pills. I remember vividly the first time that I was without them and I got so sick. I had absolutely no clue what was happening to me and then it hit me: "Oh My God, I'm in withdrawal — how embarrassing!"
Almost two years went by and I was still being prescribed heavy doses of painkillers from a pain management clinic. I kept taking them, but it was less about the pain and more about being terrified of withdrawals. The withdrawal symptoms from opiates are not life threatening but believe me when I say that you actually WANT to die when you are in withdrawal from those things. It's horrible. You cannot sleep, work, eat or anything else resembling normal daily function when you are in opiate detox. The pills gave me energy and allowed me to function but also had terrible side effects like depression, anger, loss of interest in hobbies, etc. Opiates kept me from being sick but they were also taking their toll on my life.
So, I started to do research on opiate withdrawal and to my astonishment, there weren't many options. There were the 30-day in-patient treatment programs designed for alcohol abuse and slightly tweaked to accommodate opiate abusers, there were some "quick detox" centers that put you under general anesthesia and finally, hospital detox centers that just put you in a bed and pumped you full of benzodiazepines and Advil. All of these treatments cost time and a LOT of money. I didn't want to spend $30,000 on an in-patient rehab or $6,000 for a medical detox; I wanted to find a process or product that could help me reduce the effects of opiate withdrawal and detox so that I could get my life and my happiness back. I truly felt as though there was nothing out there for someone like me. As it turned out, there were thousands of people "like me" all over and they were looking for the same thing.
Eventually I said to myself "something's gotta give!" so I suffered through an agonizing "cold turkey" withdrawal and quit completely. It didn't take long to realize how much better I felt and how less depressed I was. Millions of you out there are sick of being handcuffed to these pills but are afraid of the suffering of withdrawal and the high cost of getting help in treatment centers. In my mind, if you want to get off of a medication and cannot due to withdrawals, that's not necessarily addiction; it's slavery.
I used my experience in health care and the guidance of many friends and colleagues in the clinical field to help me put together an entirely novel way to detox from opiates. I didn't want to simply create a nutritional supplement, I wanted to put together a judicious, responsible and clinically effective process to detox from opiates as comfortably as possible.
This site and the product called the Withdrawal Ease Opiate Withdrawal Natural Supplement System® is the culmination of years of working with professionals in both the addiction and nutraceutical industries. If used along with The Withdrawal Survival Guide and other content on the site, I feel strongly that this is the most comfortable, affordable, safest and easiest way to detox from opiates. I hope that the site, the product or both can help you take the first step to getting your life back from painkillers.
—George Catlin, Founder and President of Withdrawal Ease
Dr. Brian Earthman, MD Psychiatrist, Board Certified Addictionologist and Member of The ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine)
-Withdrawal Ease Clinical Director
Dr. Earthman joined us in February 2009 after I met with him in early January about Withdrawal Ease and the product. Naturally, when you are providing information, advice and even a product for opiate withdrawal and addiction, it's always great to seek the council of someone who is on the "front lines" of addiction. At first I was pretty nervous about presenting the product to him because there's often a certain bias on the part of the clinical community about herbal and naturopathic supplements. To my surprise (and great relief) I wasn't roughly shown the door. In fact, Dr. Earthman seemed more enthusiastic about the Withdrawal Ease website and the product than I could have ever imagined!
You see, there was something that I had not known about Dr. Earthman prior to my visit with him. Dr. Earthman is not an academic although he has more experience with real patients and real people's lives than any academic could ever hope to have. Dr. Earthman is a healer. If you read his blog entry, he goes into detail about his clinical philosophy and his approach to addiction and what personally strikes me is his true desire provide the most effective treatment options to his patients, even if they might not be "Standard of Care". The fact that he did not dismiss me and Withdrawal-Ease is a testament to his desire to heal his patients by any means necessary.
There's a big difference between healing and providing ongoing care. For Dr. Earthman, a good outcome is a patient lost at his practice or in his treatment center. He's not interested in having a 15-year relationship with his patients just to make sure that his practice has a steady stream of income… I'm sorry to say but some doctors do this. His goal with every patient is to make sure that he actually HAS goals and that he and his patients can make actual progress and possibly even full recoveries. So when he saw my product, he saw an opportunity to add another tool to his arsenal that works. He also saw Withdrawal-Ease.com as an opportunity to reach a greater number of people that quite frankly could use his advice. He believes in the product itself and he believes in our approach to opiate withdrawal.
Going forward, Dr. Earthman will be helping us make improvements to Withdrawal Ease and also introduce new products or content that might help make opiate detox more attainable for those of you who are suffering.
