Ah, well that clinches it - definitely an absolute requirement :-(
It also doesn't really solve the problem of finding all attached host devices for a guest, since you still have to look at two different places when the guest is shutoff. IMHO the<hostdev> needs to be persistent
Yep, you've convinced me (at least that the guest-side PCI info needs to be persistent, and the proper place for that is in a <hostdev>). I'm still not comfortable with having all that other extra info in the <hostdev> though. Let me take a few days to think about it and maybe come up with a logical method of having the hostdev reference back to the higher level info rather than containing it directly. If I can't think of something that doesn't look like a kludge, then we'll just have to do it by including mac address, port profile, etc as subelements of <hostdev>.

However I then decided to purchase 2 games totaling aprox. $35. During the authorizing period of charging my card the machine froze. I waited patiently for 20 minutes while the store manager got it figured out. He them told me that the charge did not go through so he needed to run it again. He did that and I left.
I went to the ATM to withdraw the rest of my cash to get stocking stuffers for christmas. And discovered I did not have the money I thought I had in the bank. I called and found out my card was charged twice.
I then called the store I bought the games from and the manager told me hed need to see a statement showing it went through. I went home and printed the statement and drove back to the store. At that time he said he was not sure if he could do anything and I explained I need this money for christmas and considering it was not my fault that i was overcharged it should be refunded immediatly. He asked me to show him my reciept even though I just showed him my entire bank statement, I went and got him the recipt as I had left it in the car.
When I came back he told me he spoke to someone and not to worry my money should be back in my account the next day and the transaction did not go through. He also gave me a phone number which I called and was told it would take at least a week.
I called the manager back asking him to try to help me and he said he could not. He was insencere, rude, and told me to do things completely unnessesary if he was not going to refund my money anyways.
I do not have much money. I worked hard to come up with the money I had to give my son a good christmas and I am, very upset. Should I have to choose between my sons stocking stuffers and food this week? Christmas week? I should not but now I have to do to a mistake made at your store and noone willing to help me out.
I will let everyone know about this experience. I expect minimumly an apology and my money to be refunded promptly. I will NEVER shop at ANY EBgames again. I made a mistake going there in the first place.
I will be purchasing new games for years to come and never will I spend anymore money at EBgames. I spent almost $200 there yesterday and was treated like trash by the manager.

Conduit and Unison
Find out how the Conduit and Unison utilities can keep your documents and files in sync on multiple computers.
Keeping your documents and files in sync between multiple computers is already a challenge, but other factors make this task even more difficult. Documents and files are stored not only on a desktop machine or laptop, they are often dispersed over different web-based services and applications such as Flickr, del.icio.us, and Gmail. Moreover, with the increasing popularity of portable applications and Live CD Linux distributions, you don't even need a computer – for many users, USB sticks and external hard disks have become the preferred devices for storing documents and files. All this makes a decent synchronization utility a must-have tool, and although rsync [1] remains one of the most popular synchronization solutions for many users, a few other utilities can be equally or even more useful. In this article, I'll cover two utilities: Conduit and Unison.

Avoid looking like a tourist and donning a fanny pack (the leisure suit of travel gear), with the SPIbelt.
SPI stands for small personal item. It's an adjustable belt with a highly stretchable pouch and a quick-release plastic buckle. Adjust the belt to your waist, tuck in whatever small items you want to take along and zip it closed.
It can hold the essentials for a trip to the beach or a walk to the shopping district: ID, a credit card, camera, keys and cash.
You can pull your shirttail over it, so you don't have "tourist" written all over you. It can easily hold your phone or wallet and would be great for runners, too.
The only tricky part is that pouch gets flimsy when you take things out, so you have to make sure other things don't slip out.
It costs $19.95 and is available from spibelt.com.

Gina Rinehart inspired by former-premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen
- From: Gold Coast Bulletin
- November 23, 2012
of 2
MINING magnate Gina Rinehart took a swipe at the Federal Government for stifling investment and "spending revenue before we earn it" while heaping praise on the former Bjelke-Petersen government during the launch of her top-secret new book yesterday.
Australia's richest woman chose Brisbane to launch the book Northern Australia and Then Some before a two-day blitz through eight different locations around Australia.
On the 60th anniversary of her father Lang Hancock's discovery of massive iron ore deposits in the Pilbara, Western Australia, she said the launch was "in honour of great Queenslanders".
The billionaire chairman of Hancock Prospecting told a sympathetic audience, hosted by the Small Business Association of Australia, of which she is patron, that Australia was losing its cost-competitiveness.
"This is an issue too few Australians are recognising the consequences of," she said.
She praised former Queensland premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, who was a great friend of her father's, and his family, members of whom were in the audience, including Sir Joh's widow Lady Flo and son John.
"Our family have been very fortunate to know Joh Bjelke-Petersen and his family," said Ms Rinehart.
"What a loyal Queenslander and friend. He not only left Queensland debt-free. He left a legacy for Queensland.
"We have much to learn from this great leader."
Ms Rinehart also shared private photos with her audience not seen in the book, including those of her and daughter Ginia touring Hancock mine sites, and told the audience of the rich soil in the Pilbara where if you ''just add water like my father used to say'' it grew mangoes and mulberries `which I think are world's best'.''
She also said she didn't think her book would be a best seller, because she had only printed 500 copies.
''I'm told bestsellers are over 100,000. If I sell more than 5000 we might have to do another launch,'' she said.

Advocating for the Value Nonprofits Create: An Interview with Tim Delaney
In today's Social Velocity interview I'm talking with Tim Delaney, President and CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits, the nation's largest network of nonprofits.
The National Council of Nonprofits helps nonprofits identify emerging trends, engage in critical policy issues, exchange proven practices across state lines, and advance their missions through advocacy. Previously, Tim served as a partner at a large law firm (helping prosecute the impeachment of a Governor and leading the firm's government relations practice), Solicitor General and then Chief Deputy Attorney General (leading his state to win several cases in the U.S. Supreme Court), and founder of the Center for Leadership, Ethics & Public Service (championing ethical leadership and civic engagement).
You can read interviews with other social change leaders here.
Nell: Historically, "advocacy" has been a dirty word in the nonprofit sector. Organizations have been afraid of getting into trouble with the IRS for pursuing too much lobbying behavior. But that seems to be changing. What are your thoughts on how involved in advocacy 501(c)(3) organizations can and should be?
Tim: Yes, it's perplexing that using words like "advocacy" and "lobbying" could get a nonprofit employee's mouth washed out with soap. But seriously, advocacy is not just a right for nonprofits that is protected by the First Amendment; it's a profound responsibility and effective tool to advance nonprofit missions.
Nonprofits provide a way for Americans to come together to solve problems, large and small. And they often do so through advocacy: simply standing up and speaking out for something they believe. Americans came together through nonprofits to advocate successfully in securing the right of women to vote (via suffragist groups), establishing Social Security (spearheaded by Townsend Clubs), desegregating schools (leadership by NAACP), securing civil rights (Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech and undertook much of his work as President of the nonprofit Southern Christian Leadership Conference), and so much more.
But advocacy is not just for social movements. Advocacy includes standing up for your nonprofit's right to be paid reasonably for services it provides under a government contract. Advocacy includes telling the story of your nonprofit's impact to a reporter. We see advocacy as the answer to one key question: who can I talk to today to advance my nonprofit's mission?
A barrier many nonprofits run into comes from what I call the "3 As" –uninformed academics, accountants, and attorneys who advise nonprofit boards by passing along false lore that there "might be legal problems" if a nonprofit does "too much" lobbying. Nonprofit staff come back from advocacy training fired up, but boards extinguish that passion based on false lore. After hearing stories like this from across the country, we've decided to turn advocacy training around. The traditional approach of "it's legal" sought to counter the false lore, yet too often it led people to focus on arcane issues more remote than the fine print on your airline ticket or apps that you never read. Therefore, we now focus on "why" advocacy is essential to mission advancement and "why" nonprofits need to be engaged at the state level to protect against government attacks on tax exemptions, nonprofit independence, and charitable giving incentives.
As part of our effort to get nonprofits past those old barriers, we've joined together with Alliance for Justice, BoardSource, Campion Foundation, the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers, and Knight Foundation to create Stand for Your Mission, a free website that provides nonprofit board members with information they need to be effective advocates in advancing nonprofit missions.
Nell: The National Council of Nonprofits has been on the forefront of the movement to get government to recognize the importance of funding nonprofits' indirect costs. The recent OMB ruling mandating a minimum 10% indirect rate on most government grants and contracts with nonprofits seems like a watershed moment, but 10% is still pretty low and many nonprofits don't understand the implications or how to benefit. What are your plans at the Council of Nonprofits to continue to move this issue forward?
Tim: As you noted, the 10% of modified total direct costs is just the minimum. For tens of thousands of nonprofits, just getting to 10% will make a huge difference. In its most recent State of the Sector Survey, Nonprofit Finance Fund found that 57% of nonprofits are being paid indirect cost rates of 9% or less. And Urban Institute found that of nonprofits reporting a problem, a quarter said that governments were paying them zero for indirect costs.
Now compare those paltry sums against research from Bridgespan showing that a more accurate range is about 25 to 35%. Certainly each case is different, but being reimbursed nothing or just 5% year after year when your real legitimate costs are always higher is debilitating, eroding effectiveness. Delivering sustained impact is impossible. So getting those nonprofits up to just the minimum will enhance sustainability to make a difference in their communities.
Importantly, 10% is just the floor. If a nonprofit is properly allocating costs and documenting its indirect costs, it can receive reimbursement for whatever those costs are, whether they are 20, 30, or even 40%. Getting paid for the true costs of delivering services can reduce burdens on nonprofits to fundraise for the difference, which frees funders from having to subsidize governments and allows nonprofits to dedicate more time to missions instead of diverted to filling funding gaps.
Seeing the OMB Uniform Guidance go into effect is just the beginning and underscores the importance of nonprofit advocacy. The mere issuance of OMB's mandate doesn't mean that the tens of thousands of local, state, and federal employees scattered across multiple departments, agencies, divisions, and offices will follow it or apply it properly. First, they need to become aware of it (which still has not happened), then receive training (same), and apply it consistently (same). Plus, states and localities often have contrary laws and policies on their books, requiring advocacy to change them to conform. OMB's mandate involves a giant systems change, but the federal government still has not informed the system of what is required and the need to change policies and practices to abide by it.
David Thompson and Beth Bowsky on our team have been conducting dozens of in-person presentations and webinars across the country to ensure nonprofits are aware of their rights and how to advocate for proper implementation of the Uniform Guidance. Plus, we have been working with multiple state and local government associations to spread the word, and written numerous published pieces, including an overview, "Know Your Rights … and How to Protect Them," that highlights potential compliance challenges.
In addition, we're creating a series of short training modules for nonprofits to better understand their indirect costs. The key is for nonprofits with government grants and contracts to stand up for their rights to fair indirect cost reimbursement and to let their local state association of nonprofits and us know when governments are not living up to their obligations. Working through our network gives a nonprofit cover (so it isn't fighting alone and having to worry about backlash) and strength in numbers to protect those rights.
Nell: This issue is also part of the larger movement to overcome the Overhead Myth in the nonprofit sector, the idea that "overhead" (or indirect costs) are bad and should be limited as much as possible. How close are we to truly overcoming this myth both among nonprofit donors and nonprofit leaders (who often keep themselves in these handcuffs)?
Tim: We still have a long way to go. OMB's Uniform Guidance is a huge step forward because the federal government has now expressly acknowledged that indirect costs are legitimate and necessary. The sector needed a powerful external validating voice to overcome decades of treating mythology as orthodoxy. It's inspiring to see that many private grantmakers have now adjusted their own policies or started to re-examine their past policies that unfairly limit payment for indirect/overhead costs.
However, the anti-overhead culture is deep seated and will take a long time to root it out. That's true on both the funding side and the nonprofit side, given the powerful disincentives against claiming full costs. Nonprofits were forced to keep overhead artificially low by underinvesting in their infrastructure, staff training, and many other necessary expenses. Until we get so-called "watchdog" groups and reporters to stop using overhead ratios as false proxies for nonprofit efficiency (and get them to stop reporting overhead ratios as if they are a problem), and until all nonprofits are communicating with donors about their impact and what it truly costs to deliver that impact, everyone will still have work to do.
Nell: In both of these areas (advocacy and overhead) and in many others, nonprofits are treated like a second-class citizen. How do we get to a place where the critical role nonprofits play in our economy and in solutions to social challenges is recognized, and nonprofits are fully supported with the tools they need to be successful?
Tim: First and foremost, nonprofits must embrace our role as the place Americans come to solve problems and resolutely assert our role as advocates for the people and our communities. We often are on the front-line of vexing social challenges, giving us front-row seats to see the problems and the solutions. Who are we to hoard knowledge of solutions that could help our fellow neighbors? With the knowledge we hold and the clout we have (10% of the American workforce), we deserve a seat at policymaking tables. We need to proudly stand up, step forward, claim our space, and speak out for government to leverage its resources to solve problems at their source.
We need to tell the full story, not just of how many people were fed or acres preserved, but also the economic impact of the sector as a whole. For instance, CalNonprofits (the state association of nonprofits in California) published Causes Count about the economic clout of California's nonprofits, and Donors Forum (the state association of nonprofits and grantmakers based in Illinois) released research on Social Return on Investment, showing the economic and social value of dollars invested in nonprofits.
As for being "fully" supported, that's much more difficult. According to Nonprofit Finance Fund, last year – for the second year in a row – a majority of nonprofits didn't have the resources to meet demand for their services. That's going to be tough to turn around, especially as many nonprofits continue to be sliced by government budget cuts. Even as studies boast that individual giving is getting back to pre-Recession levels, that doesn't make as much of a difference as most people think. Despite the focus on individual giving, it makes up only 9.3% of the sector's overall revenue. Foundations are an even smaller percentage: 1.9%. Government grants and contracts make up a much larger portion – 32.3% – of the sector's revenues. That's why our focus in this area is so important.

5 Myths The Nonprofit Sector Must Overcome
Almost two years ago three nonprofit rating organizations launched the Overhead Myth campaign aimed at eradicating "the false conception that financial ratios are the sole indicator of nonprofit performance." Call me an optimist, but I think it might be working. I see more nonprofit leaders and funders discussing the radical idea that overhead might not be a bad thing. We still have a long way to go, but perhaps there is progress.
The bad news, however, is that the Overhead Myth is only one of many (way too many) destructive nonprofit myths. So in this new year, let's look at those additional myths that hold the nonprofit sector back.
As we all know, a myth is a story that everyone believes, but is actually not true. Here are the 5 most egregious myths I see in the nonprofit sector:
- Good Nonprofits Don't Make a Profit
For some reason it is unseemly for a nonprofit to have more money than they immediately need. The best a nonprofit should hope for is to break even, and if they do run a profit, they should not be fundraising. To the contrary, a nonprofit with operating reserves can invest in a more sustainable organization, conduct evaluations to make sure their solution is the best one, recruit a highly competent staff, and weather economic fluctuations. For a donor it is far better to invest in an organization with the people and systems necessary to effectively tackle a social problem than an organization that is barely getting by. The best nonprofits are those that create a financial model that allows them the money mix (revenue, capital, reserves) necessary to make the best decisions and invest where and when they must.
- There Are Too Many Nonprofits
I'm so tired of the refrain (mostly by funders) that there are "too many" nonprofits. Does anyone complain about how many tech startups there are? This myth comes from the fact that the sector is undercapitalized which causes organizations to compete for scarce resources. So let's fix that problem instead. To be sure, there are times when it makes sense to bring two nonprofits that address similar needs together in order to save costs, but that's usually the exception not the rule. The process of merging two organizations is itself incredibly time-intensive and costly, and, honestly, rarely do funders invest the amount of resources required to ensure a successful merger. Every nonprofit should regularly assess their Theory of Change and how they fit into the external market place of social problems and competitors working on similar problems. If a nonprofit finds that they are no longer adding unique value to that marketplace, then they should reorganize, merge, or disband, whichever makes most strategic sense.
- Nonprofits, Unlike Businesses, Are Inefficient
This myth takes many forms: "nonprofits are too slow," "nonprofits should sell more products or services", "nonprofits should run more like a startup," and the list goes on. The underlying assumption is that the for-profit world is inherently smarter, more strategic, more nimble and more effective. But the truth is that all three sectors (business, government, and nonprofit) have their stars (like Apple), their screwups (like Lehman Brothers) and the multitude in between. Inefficiency in the nonprofit sector is merely a symptom of a larger problem, which is the persistent lack of adequate capital to fund enough of the right staff, technology, systems, evaluation, marketing required to address the intractable problems nonprofits are trying to solve. Let's talk about that instead.
- Nonprofits Are Outside the Economy
This is the myth that nonprofits are "nice to have" and make everyone feel good, but are not a critical component of our lives or our economic system. But the fact is that the nonprofit sector employs 10% of the U.S. workforce and accounts for 5% of GDP. And the number of nonprofits grew 25% from 2001-2011, while the number of businesses only grew by 0.5%. As government continues to slough off services to nonprofits, those numbers will only continue to grow. The nonprofit sector is not tangential to the economy, but rather an instrumental part of it.
- Nonprofits Have No Role In Politics
501(c) 3 organizations have long been told to stay out of politics. The myth is that charity is too noble to be mired in the mess of pushing for political change (Robert Egger has written extensively on this). But the fact is that simply providing services is no longer enough to solve the underlying problems. Nonprofits are increasingly recognizing that they can no longer sit by and watch their client load increase while disequilibrium grows. Nonprofits must (and already are) advocate for changes to the ineffective systems that produce the need for their existence.
Being mired in the demoralizing and debilitating cloak of these myths wears the nonprofit sector down. We must follow the Overhead Myth's example and start uncovering the other myths that hold the sector back. Because the power of a myth is greatly diminished when we openly admit that the myth is only that — a myth.

What Does the Future Hold For Nonprofits?
The nonprofit sector and the philanthropy that funds it have been changing dramatically over the past several years, and there's plenty more change to come. This month's Social Velocity webinar, Embracing the Future of the Nonprofit Sector, will help nonprofit leaders and board members understand how the sector is changing and what they can do to keep up.
Here are some of the future trends facing the nonprofit sector that we'll cover in this webinar:
- More Demand for Outcomes
There is a growing demand for nonprofits to 1) articulate what results they hope their work with achieve and 2) track whether those results are actually happening.
- Decreasing Emphasis on Nonprofit "Overhead"
More and more people are realizing that you can't just invest in programs without the staff, infrastructure and fundraising to make those programs happen.
- More Advocacy for the Sector
as a Whole
The nonprofit sector has long been a fractured grouping of organizations of various sizes, business models, and issue areas. But that tide is starting to turn. We are starting to see the sector organize, mobilize and build the confidence necessary to claim its rightful place.
- Savvier Donors
Because nonprofits are getting more savvy, donors are as well. In addition to an increasing demand for proof of outcomes, donors are starting to realize that in such a stark economic environment those nonprofits that don't have adequate infrastructure simply will not survive, let alone be able to adequately address the social problem they were organized to solve.
- Increased Efforts to Rate and Compare Nonprofits
We are increasingly evaluating nonprofits based on the results they achieve, not on how they spend their money. And to do that a whole infrastructure for evaluating and rating nonprofits is emerging and will continue to evolve as we get smarter about focusing resources on the most effective nonprofits.
These are exciting times for the nonprofit sector. This webinar will help you understand and embrace these trends.

Can the Nonprofit Sector Stand Up for Itself?
There is something really interesting going on in the world of nonprofit advocacy. And I don't mean advocacy for a specific cause. Rather, I'm talking about advocating for the nonprofit sector as a whole. Three new efforts underway in recent months are vying to be the voice of the nonprofit sector. And the firestorm brewing is interesting to watch.
Robert Egger kicked it off a year ago when he formed CForward an advocacy organization that champions the economic role of the nonprofit sector and supports political candidates who include the nonprofit sector in their plans to rebuild the economy. You can read my interview with Robert about why he launched CForward here. Robert's video about the need to advocate for the nonprofit sector is below (or here if you are reading this in an email):
And then in the last couple of months there have been two similar movements to better advocate for the nonprofit sector. Dan Pallotta released a new book last month called Charity Case: How the Nonprofit Community Can Stand Up for Itself and Change the World where he announces the creation of his new entity, the Charity Defense Council, which is also aimed at advocating for the nonprofit sector, via five efforts:
- An "anti-defamation league" to respond to and rectify inaccurate reports about the sector in the media
- Big public advertising campaigns for the sector
- A "legal defense fund" to challenge unproductive laws against the sector
- Work to create a "National Civil Rights Act for Charity and Social Enterprise" to support the sector
- Grassroots organizing of the sector as a whole, including a national database of every nonprofit in the country
And then the third grand effort to advocate for the nonprofit sector comes from Independent Sector, the organization formed in 1980 to "advance the common good by leading, strengthening, and mobilizing the nonprofit and philanthropic community." Their new report "Beyond the Cause," which interviewed 100 nonprofit organizations, recommends the creation of a national organization (probably run by Independent Sector) to push a nonprofit agenda, costing $20 million over 4 years. For Independent Sector the key issues that such an entity would address are:
- Changes that could limit the organizations eligible for charity status
- Threats to charitable tax deductions for donors
- A need to clarify advocacy and lobbying rules for charities and private foundations
- Changes to Internal Revenue Service disclosure forms that could hamper nonprofit operations
- Burdensome paperwork and red tape involving government contracts with nonprofits
- Lack of government-financed research on the nonprofit world
While CForward seems to be largely supported in their work, both Pallotta's and Independent Sector's efforts are drawing fire. Phil Buchanan, president of the Center for Effective Philanthropy, writes a scathing review of Pallotta's new book and advocacy effort and concludes that "Mr. Pallotta is selling is himself—as both the nonprofit world's messiah and its advertising agency," and suggests that people support CForward and Independent Sector instead of Pallotta's Charity Defense Council.
Similarly, Pablo Eisenberg, senior fellow at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute, dislikes Independent Sector's effort to coalesce the nonprofit sector arguing that "nonprofits will never share a broad consensus about which issues are most important. The best that nonprofits can accomplish is to strengthen their individual advocacy and lobbying activities and join with other organizations in coalitions that fight for specific policy changes."
It is really a fascinating and multi-layered debate. I strongly agree that the nonprofit sector is often dismissed in the policies of the day. But if organizations like Independent Sector have been working to create a common voice for the sector for more than 30 years with little improvement, I'm not sure what will change. Especially if 3 separate entities are all singing different verses of the same tune. They will be competing for dollars, mind-share, and the ears of policy makers. But I am a huge advocate for fixing a broken sector, so let's see how this all plays out.
What do you think? How do we get policy makers to recognize the importance and value of the nonprofit sector?
10 Great Social Innovation Reads: June 2012
I'm a little late getting the June 10 Great Reads list out this month because I was on vacation. But June didn't disappoint, with some great articles that make us think about things in new ways, from how philanthropists fund, to how "nonprofit" is defined, to how homelessness and food insecurity can be solved, to how Millennials give and much more.
Below are my ten picks of the best reads in social innovation in June, but please add what I missed in the comments. If you want to see more than just this list of 10, follow me on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Pinterest. And if you want to read 10 Great Reads lists from past months, go here.
- A new debate raged on the "old" topic of defining the nonprofit sector. Phil Buchanan at the Center for Effective Philanthropy started it off with this 6-part series on articulating the value of the nonprofit sector. And along the same lines, Mark Hecker at the UnSectored blog wrote this really thought-provoking piece about the language of social good.
- From The Atlantic comes a great article about the enormous opportunity of impact investment, "How Financial Innovation Can Save the World."
- The on-going drumbeat to get nonprofits to advocate for their own sector in Congress gets louder with "Nonprofits Missing From Big Battles (in Congress)" and a united movement among San Francisco nonprofits to push for more city funding.
- David Henderson is easily one of the greatest thinkers in the social sector space and he takes issue with a new app designed to "solve" homelessness. His post really begs the question, "To What End?"
- Always at the ready with fantastic financial tools for the nonprofit sector, the Nonprofit Finance Fund releases a list of Top 10 Finance Essentials for nonprofits and, not to forget that the philanthropy that funds nonprofits also needs to change, they also have a list for nonprofit funders.
- In The Washington Post, Sarah Kliff explores new experiments and studies about how to solve urban food deserts.
- As a mother of two young boys I agree there is definitely something to emulating how kids play, as Philip Auerswald argues at the Harvard Business Review blog: To Innovate, Play with Pieces Off the Game Board
- The third annual Millennial Impact Report, about how the millennial generation connects with nonprofits, was released and lots of people had things to say about the data, including 3 New Truths About Millennials and How Millennials Connect, Involve and Give.
- At the Center for High Impact Philanthropy blog Jen Landres describes how philanthropists can have much greater impact by being "unsexy" in their giving.
- Decrying the over-emphasis on capital campaigns in the arts world, Rebecca Thomas and Rodney Christopher argue that "scores of organizations jeopardize the long-term vibrancy of their programs because they focus on getting the building built rather than having a healthy organization inside it." Amen to that!

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: May 2012
In the world of social innovation, May was most definitely about innovations in philanthropy and funding of social change. From social impact bond experiments, to hybrid foundations, to impact investing, to the Giving Pledge 2.0, there was much discussion and debate about how funders of social change should and are innovating. And that is very exciting because it is not enough for social entrepreneurs to push things forward, we desperately need new financial vehicles to fund those social change efforts.
Below are my ten picks of the best reads in social innovation in May, but as always, please add what I missed in the comments. If you want to see other things that caught my eye, follow me on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Pinterest. And if you want to read 10 Great Reads lists from past months, go here.
- First up is social impact bonds (or pay for success bonds), a very exciting, new way to fund nonprofits that achieve improved social outcomes that result in public sector savings. McKinsey released a new report on the potential for social impact bonds in the US. And Minnesota is one of the first states to experiment with these bonds with a $10 million pilot. Twin Cities Business magazine explores the idea and Kate Barr of Minnesota's Nonprofit Assistance Fund gives an overview of the idea, resources and further conversation.
- This month's second annual meeting of those wealthy individuals who signed Bill Gates' Giving Pledge (a public promise to give at least half of their wealth to charity in their lifetime) showed some real interest in impact investing, or using their money to make money while creating social change at the same time. Laura Tomasko argues why their interest in impact investing (both mission-related investments and program-related investments) is such an exciting opportunity. And Lucy Bernholz takes their interest in impact investing in another direction arguing that "this century's great philanthropists should aim not just to match history's great givers in their largess, but also in the creation of mechanisms and institutions that serve the future as well as their predecessors served the past."
- Finally, in a very exciting move, the Obama Administration has proposed an expansion to the rules about how foundations can use program-related investments (low or no interest loans to social change organizations) and some community foundations are already getting into the game.
- And from the nonprofit side of the financial equation comes the Nonprofit Finance Fund's effort to debunk the myths around endowments as a road to nonprofit financial sustainability.
- Financial sustainability must always be on the mind of social change organizations, as this cautionary tale from the North Carolina YWCA that had to close its doors because of poor financial management and oversight demonstrates.
- Has the drum beat against judging a nonprofit based on overhead costs gone mainstream? An op-ed in the LA Times argues that administrative costs are "no way to judge a charity."
- At the Social Earth blog Thien Nguyen-Trung cautions against an overemphasis on growth among social entrepreneurs and instead argues for "impact offtakers" or an exit strategy for social entrepreneurs to hand off their solution to government or another larger entity instead of trying to reach scale on their own.
- And Patrick Lester seems to agree in his argument that it's not enough to fund social change solutions: "Foundations and philanthropists need to step forward and fund not just innovation, but advocacy too–only then will our best ideas be taken to scale."
- There were several articles about exciting, innovative approaches to solving food problems. From a $125 million loan fund for healthy food outlets in California, to urban farming in Detroit, to a very successful nonprofit grocery store in Portland, Oregon.
- In the Stanford Social Innovation Review Matthew Forti offers 6 things nonprofits should avoid in their theory of change (their argument for what they exist to accomplish).

The population explosion and the frightening magnitude and complexity of the problems it is creating continue to be of worldwide concern. Fortunately, Mark Twain's cynical remark about the weather does not apply in this situation, for something is being done about finding acceptable ways to control the rate of human reproduction, and with considerable success. Within little more than a decade, the first oral contraceptive for the control of fertility through inhibition of ovulation was introduced, and, even more recently, various intrauterine devices (IUDs) for the prevention of pregnancy have been devised. Although the oral contraceptives are considerably more effective than the IUDs, the latter devices are more useful in some situations. Both types of conception control are evaluated in this issue of The Journal in statements by the AMA Committee on Human Reproduction (p 647) on the current status of the IUDs and by the AMA Council on Drugs

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
Historian Richard J. Norgard grew up on the shores of Lake Erie — his boyhood home, "now long gone," was located where Frisch's Big Boy Restaurant sits in Port Clinton.
As a child, his father used to tell him about the "old slave ship" that burned offshore, less than a half mile from their home, on July 4, 1946. His dad watched the ship burn from their beach, and the story stayed with Norgard.
When Norgard landed his first job as a reporter and photographer for a local newspaper, he began collecting information about the "old slave ship," which was really a historic sailing ship called the "Success." He says the quest began as a hobby, then became a "passion, and finally, a writing career."
Despite a fire on July 4, 1946, historian Richard J. Norgard says a lot remains of the sailing Ship Success today — the wreck is located in 15 feet of water directly offshore from the Route 163 and Route 2 highway cloverleaf near Jolly Roger's restaurant.
The keel and ribs rise eight feet off the bottom and parts of the wreck and metal fittings are still found in the sand.
Norgard says the female figurehead was cut off while she sat in her final years at Lake Erie, and numerous wax figures once located in the hull during its museum days still pop up at locations around the world. He says a Michigan drinking establishment has the head of a wax figure sitting at the end of its bar, and guests entertainment themselves by placing a cigarette in its mouth.
A bill that would establish a national, but voluntary, standard for labeling of bio-engineered food products stalled Wednesday in the U.S. Senate when a cloture motion to end debate fell by one vote.
Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, who chairs the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, said the bill represents a "true compromise" and establishes a balance between consumers' right to know and ensuring an even playing field in the marketplace.
Roberts' proposal amends sections of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 and preempts any state law requiring the labeling of food or seed that is genetically engineered. That provision is significant in the eyes of food producers and consumer groups as some states have had initiatives on the ballot requiring such labeling. Vermont, for example, has approved a labeling requirement set to go into effect in July.
Voters in the Woodmore district Tuesday rejected a renewal of an emergency levy that generates $600,000 annually.
School board president Joe Liszak attributed the loss to lingering questions residents have about the district's financial situation.
"I heard some people say the board still doesn't know how much more money the district will get from CAUV (Current Agricultural Use Valuation) appraisals yet. And I think that was a factor," he said. "The other thing is our financial statements are not balanced yet."
In Sandusky County, the vote tally was 732 – against to 567 for, according to the unofficial results. In the Ottawa County portion of the district, it was closer: 554 – against to 527 for.
Oregon Council approved $633,991 in new equipment and trucks for the Oregon Fire Department and the Streets Division during its March 14 meeting.
According to City Administrator Mike Beazley, the new equipment and trucks will replace older items with new ones.
"The equipment and trucks are needed for the safety of our residents," Beazley said. "There is a schedule that we follow to replace equipment. Everything has a shelf life. The technology has evolved and we are trying to get the best technology."
The expenditures for the fire department include three upgraded LP15 V4 monitor/defibrillators for $113,725; three American Rescue Technology "E" Force Rescue Systems and three Genesis Rescue Systems for a total of $81,468; and one 2016 GM K205HD Pick Up Truck for $37,771.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KMJJ A little expensive, but they are cute I have these earrings in both colors, but the gold ones are the nicer pair. I have gotten many compliments. These are a great alternative to regular hoops. January 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cat7742 Like the hammered metal look of these earrings! The length of the earrings is just right. Light enough to be comfy, but not so heavy that they pull the lobes out of shape. July 10, 2014

I was suspicious as I had also had letter from a Pascale Zoe. Yes, like an idiot, I fell for it as life has been bad following serious illnesses, deaths & bad accidents in the last year. I sent money as requested & although it has gone thru' the bank, she says she has not received it! I got that not so funny feeling and checked on internet & found her name!! I think they may well be the same person as the writing is very similar, especially the y's & g's. If Pascale Zoe sees this a big thank you for now making me feel so helpless - I really did not need to loose what little money we had - emotionally You have put the finishing touches. I just hope the Police sort you out quickly.

I started to get concerned right around Wednesday because I hadn't heard back from them. I knew they were closed on the weekend so I needed to get my CDs by Friday. I called Mona, and she said oh no problem it will be ready on Thursday. On Thursday she told me the guy who does the copies had not come in, but don't worry I would have it by Friday. I told her that I teach a class at 2:30 on Friday. She said they would have it by 1 o'clock no problem. Friday came along, she called me and said the guy had not come in yet and he would be in at noon and he would make the copies then and for me to wait and she call me when they are ready.
She called me at 1:30 for me to hurry up and come in and pick up the CDs they would be ready. I was rushing to get there because I have a class immediately at 2:30. When I got there they still weren't ready. She gave me 40 copies that were ready. I was frustrated. When she went in the back I decided to take a look at the CDs. I was appalled. My picture on the front of the CD was a yellow tinted extremely yellow. Not at all what I approved! I opened up the inside and on the disc itself there was a white copy paper looking label that looked as if it'd been pasted on by my 12-year-old son.
It also had no songs listed. when Mona came back I informed her of the problem. She told me I approved it. Which I did not! I had to take 40 copies with me because I only had a handful of my other ones left. She told me they would fix the problem. I didn't sell any of those horrible yellow copies that they made. I sold but I had left in my stock. I brought back all 40 copies. Mona told me that they would do three copies for me to approve and they redo the order. She said that they would have it have been three copies ready in a few days.
A few days went by I called she said the guy had not come in yet. I called again the guy had not come in yet that point I asked for my artwork back I returned all copies. She told me she didn't know where my artwork was because the guy wasn't in yet when I ask her to call him she said no he has another job. So I had to wait. I waited until the next day I brought in my copies I got my artwork back they told me they would be charging me for the yellow CDs. This was the order of the owner who I asked to see but was not available because he was in Arizona this place is a rip off they kept my deposit they put through the balance on my credit card. I returned everything and they still charge me. Their work was horrible their service was horrible do not do business here!

the varible milage is a RIPOFF PERIOD they say it is to keep the lease payments lower i pay 500 a week for this truck give me a break. on an avg week 2600 miles they are getting roughly $400 bucks of my money. That isnt the worst thing though another .07 goes into a reserve in case of maintinance needed on the truck which by the way is completely out of warrenty now. so all together cre is keeping in the company on and avg week of 2600 miles grand total ding ding ding $ 600 bucks leaving you the one working a 100.
so in closing what im asking for is what they get every week a paycheck. on top of everything they are rude to you on the phone talk to you like a dog dont care you are hungry a diabetic and cant eat or buy your meds nothing very rude. i want to leave but i cant if i do they will slap a bad report on my DAC report and charge me the last 4months of this lease. please help me i dont know where or whom to talk to.
and my fiance went to that school in salt lake city so we could make it that school is a total joke they havent a clue about nothing i was her trainer out here on the road and it took me 2 or 3 weeks to get the backing stuff shifting stuff and overall view of how to drive safely out of her head. now she dont drive cause they said i failed as a trainer and she wasnt cut out to drive a truck. this is a second complaint within this complaint. now she doesnt have a license at all cause they gave her a temp license that has expired so now we have to get her license reinstated to drive a car or motorcycle. i mean what the crap are they doing and why cant something be done.

Easiest to use, clean we've ever had
By RRhodes4
from Louisville, KY
Comments about Whirlpool 30" Electric Cooktop - Black:
This cooktop was a great choice. Was economical, easy to use and clean. Much easier to keep nice than the black we replaced, and much easier than the ceramic flat top type. Highly suggest you look at this unit, am surprised that I prefer it to stainless steel for looks.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice unit
By Reno gal
from Tucson Arizona
Nice cooktop. Easy to install. Looks sharp. Easy to clean. Works like a charm. Very happy with the product for the price. Note, it could have fit in a smaller counter top cut out then what was noted on line under the specs. The install hole could've been an inch smaller all the way around .

Nice smooth, clean look very easy to install.
outstanding performance

I love everything about this cooktop. The reason I chose electric is because a Whirlpool electric is just as good as any gas cooktop.

My new cooktop
Never again
By Mama C
from Arkansas
I bought this cooktop a little over a year ago and I am now having to buy another one. The stove gets way to hot and is very hard to clean. By the time you get finished cooking and letting the stove cool enough to clean the stuff is burnt on. Also the wires are up against the burner pans which as cause the outer covering to melt away. Mine is very unsafe. I will not be buying another one like this. I am sure that not all of them is like mine but just keep it in mine if it starts getting to hot with in warranty then you might want to do something then instead of waiting. Like I did.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great cooktop

Good modern update to a 70's stove top. My wife enjoys it.

I am using version 0.2.1 of WordPress SEO by Yoast and am trying to figure out a couple of things:
1. Where is the sitemap that is being generated located?
2. My WordPress blog installation is in a subdirectory of my main site, which runs the Joomla CMS. One of joomla's SEO tools generates a sitemap that is in the root directory. It doesn't appear to be the one generated by Yoast. Other than including the /blog subdirectory, it doesn't index anything in the WordPress blog.
3. Is it necessary/desirable to also submit the WordPress Yoast sitemap to Google's Webmaster tools? If so, I need to know where that sitemap is located, as I can't seem to find it anywhere (refer to #1)

The photos of Pippa Middleton's bodyguard waving a gun at paparazzi in Paris that came out this week had the promise of making for a salacious royal scandal. But French police have said over the past few days they aren't even investigating the incident since no one has complained about it. (Who would complain about Pippa?) Also, the gun was fake, according to a spokesperson for Pippa's friend, Arthur de Soultrait, who she had been out partying with the night before.
The AP reported:
A spokesman for a French clothing company owned by de Soultrait, who also appeared to be in the car, denied that Middleton's companion brandished a pistol at the paparazzi, saying that the driver was in fact "playing a game" with the photographers with a toy gun.
Though French law treats fake guns with the same weight as real guns, this at least makes it sound not as bad in the press as if it were a real gun.
So with the gun being passed off as a toy, and no investigation ongoing, that may be that — a potentially truly horrible scandal may be just about averted.
Pippa is not a royal, but her sister Kate is, of course, so she kind of owes it to her to behave as benignly as possible in public so that she doesn't taint the otherwise very safe duchess's tiara. Kate seems like the unlikeliest of royals to make a mistake in the public eye, but tabloids hungry for a royal scandal wouldn't be crazy to put their eggs in Pippa's basket. She's already been photographed on the front row of a London Fashion Week show apparently a silly shiny yellow period costume with fuchsia bows all up the front. The event had the look of one of those themed parties Real Housewives are always embarrassing themselves at.
As a correspondent told the "Today" show, Kate probably had a pretty stern word with her sister about the toy gun "game." Unfortunately for Pippa, she had less of a choice in her position in the public eye than Kate, but is still expected to play it just about as safe as her.
