Send the kids to camp, and say goodbye to whining and hello to wining and dining at adults-only camp
Who says kids get to have all the fun? BedandBreakfast.com has scoured the country for B&B camps, and we've found plenty of great offerings for grownups in search of getaway fun. Parents can choose their dream camps, featuring everything from campfires to photo safari tours, wine tasting to waterfalls. Best of all, many camps continue through October - some are offered year-round. At BedandBreakfast.com B&B camps, feather beds replace cots, and strolling area art galleries replaces craft time. Unless otherwise stated, all rates are quoted per couple (double occupancy) excluding tax and gratuities, and are listed alphabetically by state.
Flightseeing, Fjords and Fotos: Alaskan Adventure Camp at Pearson's Pond Luxury Inn & Adventure Spa, Juneau, AK: Camp starts with a romantic welcome of chocolates, flowers, soft music, and rose petals waiting in your room. Each day brings a different Alaskan adventure: a Taku Glacier Lodge flightseeing adventure and feast; a land and sea photo safari; a cruise along Tracy Arm Fjord; a bear country tour; glacier hiking and more. Return to the inn each night to a relaxing massage or a soak in a starlit hot tub beside the waterfall garden. The seven-night package includes lodging, breakfasts, snacks, evening refreshments and the six featured activities mentioned for $2,449 per person, through September 2007.
Ghostbusters Camp at Mason House Inn B&B, Bentonsport, IA: No need to sit around the campfire telling ghost stories when you can bust one in person. Camp director and professional ghost hunter Christopher Moon offers campers instruction on ghost hunting, followed by dinner, then the chance to see a ghost during an overnight stay at this haunted inn. Campers will share their experiences over breakfast the next morning. Camp is just $142 per person or $205 for two people sharing a room, and is offered year-round.
Brewmaster Camp at Kingsley House, Fennville, MI: Camp starts with a taste test of over 70 recipes to decide on the favorite flavor. (Hey, it's a tough job, but :) Skilled brewers work with campers, helping them craft their own beers - a three- to four-hour process. Return two weeks later to bottle and label your brew. Camp includes taste-testing, two commemorative brewery glasses, all brewing ingredients, bottles, 11 gallons of your own customized brew, personalized labels (upon request), and skilled brewers to assist campers during brew time, for only $200. Camp is only available to Kingsley Inn guests and is offered year-round. B&B double rates are $115-$215; campers are offered a 50 percent discount for their return bottling trip.
No need for a uniform; you'll get it at Camp Ellis at the Inn at Ellis River, Jackson, NH: Enjoy Midweek Romance Camp at Camp Ellis anytime through the end of September 2007. Located in the heart of New Hampshire's White Mountains, there's plenty of hiking, biking, waterfalls for skinny dipping, and even moose tours nearby. This midweek camp includes your choice of a camp uniform consisting of two matching inn T-shirts or caps or two hand-thrown pottery mugs (not created at craft time), a picnic lunch, and a postcard for the required letter home. Offered Sundays through Thursdays through September, the two-night camps cost $279-$549; three nights, $399-$649; and four nights, $499-$829.
No Whine Wine Camp at Stirling House B&B, Greenport, NY: Long Island Wine Country campers participate in seasonal work in the vineyards, work with talented winemakers to blend their own white and red wines, learn about the chemistry of winemaking, experience wine and food pairings, then relax in premier accommodations. The camp experience is a four-day, three- night foray into the world of wine, including visits and tastings at many local wineries, daily breakfasts, al fresco lunches at wineries, a farewell dinner with a five-course wine and food pairing dinner, plus a case of wine from the vineyard where campers have worked and tasted, for $749 per person. Wine camp is offered five to six times per year. The next camp will be October 15-18, with additional dates planned for 2008.
Guaranteed "I Do!" at Proposal Camp at Mast Farm Inn, Valle Crucis, NC: Nervous about popping the question? Bring her to "Proposal Camp," and the innkeepers will help anxious beaux to set the scene. It all starts in a with a romantic candlelight dinner in the Mast Farm Restaurant. Couples returns to their private cottages to find rose petals strewn on the bed and a chilled bottle of champagne; on the bed is a glass slipper with the ring inside, set on her pillow. She'll turn around and there on bended knee (all rehearsed in drama camp prior) will be the husband-to-be with furrowed brow and "will you marry me" as his practiced line. Camp includes a second night to bask in the romance and a "honeymoon" cake to share. As a bonus, when engaged campers leave, they're given a bridal bouquet of fresh flowers plus a $200 gift certificate to return the following year for "Anniversary Camp". Some apprehensive husbands-to-be might say this camp is priceless, but this $1,416 value is priced at $1050, and is offered year-round.
Fishing and Fireside Marshmallows at Camp Berry Springs at Berry Springs Lodge, Sevierville, TN: Innkeepers here have fond memories of camp fun but not the outside bathrooms and uncomfortable cots, so they've created camp for adults. Daily activity choices for "campers" include fishing for bass or catfish in the inn's ponds, ping pong matches in the pavilion, hiking, mountain biking, craft time with crochet, and nightly marshmallow roasts in the fire pit; campfire songs optional. Add to that nightly turndown service, lavish breakfasts and evening desserts, and you know what separates adults' from kids' camp. All activities above are offered to "campers" who visit through August 29. Nightly rates: $149-$229.

Here is an interesting story concerning my grandfather who served in the Civil War.
At 16, his folks wanted him to stay at home, but he was insistent on joining the Union Army. One day his mother sent him for an armload of firewood, and instead of bringing the wood, he ran away and enlisted. He served three years, part of which was under Gen. Sherman, and then came home carrying the wood his mother had ordered three years before.
Mrs. T.W. NeilAustin, Colorado
Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then CAPPER's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from CAPPER's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

A new era in the history of Aston Martin will begin in around three to four years, according to Mercedes CEO, Dr Dieter Zetsche. An agreement in principle for AMG to supply Aston Martin with engines and components was signed back in July, but this is the first time we've been given any real sense of time scale.
"Aston's new investor was convinced that it would be helpful to associate with someone with experience in fast car technology," Zetsche told us. "When you make decisions like this it usually takes three to four years to see the results."
It's believed that AMG will supply Aston with turbocharged V8 engines, gearboxes and electrical components for a new-generation of models – including replacements for the ageing DB9 and V8 Vantage. It will spell the end of a long-standing relationship with Ford, who currently supplies its V8 and V12 engines, built in its Cologne plant.
Back when the deal was originally signed, Aston Martin Product Development Director Ian Minards said: "We have selected AMG specifically as the basis for this powertrain development process. Aston Martin sources cutting edge technology from key suppliers around the globe and the opportunity to include content from Mercedes-AMG GmbH in our next generation sports cars is, clearly, good news."
Zetsche also confirmed rumours that the Daimler, Renault, Nissan allicance has begun work on a flexible new small car platform – expected to underpin replacements for the current A, B, CLA and GLA-Class models. "We are working hard on just that [a shared platform] with respect of compact cars," he said.

About Ichabod
Unlike most of their simplicity-prizing stoner rock brethren, Boston, Massachusetts-based Ichabod show no compunction about pushing their fundamentals in that style into rarefied progressive rock territory, fusing space, psychedelic, doom, sludge, and other musical styles any way they see fit. After forming in 1999, the group debuted a 2002 single, "Good Friday the 13th," before signing with Rootsucker Records and embarking on ever more ambitious albums, including Let the Bad Times Roll (2003), Reaching Empyrean (2005), and a concept record about the Mayan calendar's prediction for the end of the world, 2012 (issued in 2008). At the time of the latter's release, Ichabod consisted of singer Ken Mackay, guitarist Dave Iverson, bassist Greg Dellaria, and drummer Phil Mackay. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

Here's the thing...the blogroll on my sidebar? Is there any way to add another one, separate from the one that is already listed? I have my own links on the blogroll now, but would like to add some of my favorite links to other sites as well...how would I go about doing that?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice! :)

Bio and Links
My name is Sandra Moore and I live in Mason, Michigan. I'm a wife, mother of three children and grandmother of eight grandchildren. I became interested in genealogy in 1999. I enjoy sharing my family information and photos with others and helping out anyone else in their genealogy research through cemetery records. I found out about find a grave website back in 2000 and never thought about helping to enter information or take photos at the cemetery till now. I have found others that have done so and so appreciate their help and now I want to do my part with volunteering in putting up whatever pictures I can or adding information from the cemeteries. To all that have entered names on cemeteries, my many thanks go out to you. Keep up the good work. Also if I happen to make a memorial page for a relative and you want ownership, I have no problem turning it over to you and will be more than happy to do so. Also if you happen to find any errors, please let me know and I will correct it right away. Sometimes stones are hard to read. I try to be as accurate as possible and do research on my own if I am not sure of a name or date or relationship. Please feel free to use my photos in your family tree.
Also please ask for transfers (giving me your member number) and to add any information under the Edit tab at the right hand top of the memorial page and not on my message board. It's a lot quicker and easier that way as it takes me directly to the persons' memorial page. Thanks!
Sincerely, Sandra Moore

Apparently, the info collected from an online cemetery listing is incorrect with the "given" names. All the info goes with the Dennis Welch death cert. I will delete "Diane" memorial.
Thanks, Carole

RE: James Sanders 50925153 Oak Grove Cemetery
If you find more, I would appreciate knowing what you find. Do you know who the informant was on his Michigan DC?
In census records, it seemed to have changed from PA to Ohio, but I do believe he was born right in that area, on the border between PA and Ohio, likely in Trumbull Co, OH. I found him with his father, I believe, in an early census record, but I am still working on that theory. This is NOT an easy line to research, at least for me.
Thanks much - appreciate any and ALL help. Would DEARLY love to find out who his parents were.

Clark's in Oak Grove Cemetery
Hi Sandra - I was uploading some photos of the Clark family in Oak Grove Cemetery and I have one photo left with no memorial to upload it to. You manage the others so I thought you might have some idea who it could be. Unfortunately there is no first name, just - Father Clark 1846-1894. He is with Ethan Clark, Lucena Clark Shelly and Price Shelly on Hofstetter Hill. Any help is appreciated!

"All that remained was to get a close-up of [James] Deen touching Lohan's face with a blood-streaked finger. Only half of Lohan's face would be in the shot. Most actresses would pop in some Visine to well their eyes with tears and be done with it. Instead, Lohan went back to her room, and everyone waited.
I was standing by her door, and soon I could hear her crying. It began quietly, almost a whimper, but rose to a guttural howl. It was the sobbing of a child lost in the woods."
[...] I talked to Lohan as she smoked a cigarette in the parking lot. It was just dawning on her that the film was almost over. She seemed genuinely heartbroken. '...There was a line in the 'Elizabeth' movie where she says, 'I'm so bored, I've never been taught what to do when I'm not working,' and I'm kind of figuring that out now.'

Mathebula's Promoter Welcomes Nonito Donaire Clash
by Ronnie Nathanielsz
Newly crowned IBF super bantamweight champion Jeffrey Mathebula's handler, well known South African promoter Branco Milenkovic has confirmed he's been talking to Top Rank's Carl Moretti about a possible July 21 unification title fight against WBO champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire.
Milenkovic told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard that Mathebula was one of his four IBF champions and they are keenly looking forward to fighting Donaire.
Branco noted that Mathebula will be his second fighter to face Donaire after current IBF flyweight champion Moruti Mthalane lost by a 6th round TKO after the referee stopped the fight due to Mathalane suffering a bad cut and a bloodied nose.
Milenkovic said that "based on Moruti's performance against Donaire without doubt Jeffrey will have a better chance as he is bigger and stronger" than Mthalane.
He said this will be Mathebula's second attempt to unify the title having dropped a split decision in an unification title bout against Celestino Caballero in Panama which he claimed was a "robbery" and the media in Panama " crucified the officials."
At the same time Milenkovic downplayed the value of a title defense by Donaire against former world champion Cristian Mijares saying "No disrespect to Mijares, but in my opinion his best days are past. While he is fighting now for some kind of "silver" international title, Jeffrey is a legitimate IBF Champion."
Another bad fight ... A fight with Terrazas was an OK fight since at least Terrazas is a g and strong guy who just beat Montiel. A fight with Mijares is complete crap, Mijares hasn't done anything since a couple…Comment by Nonitard on 04-19-2012

A Health Collaboration to Improve Children's HealthPosted: December 2, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: children, environmental health, environmental justice, EPA, healthcare Leave a comment
Editor's note: Today we share this recent post from new EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and National Hispanic Medical Association President & CEO Elena Rios that accessibly places protection of children's health and disparities reduction into a broad environmental health context, including kids' exposures to local environmental hazards, their families' access to affordable health care, and the health impacts of carbon pollution and climate change. The post's flag of a federal environmental health focus on tackling asthma disparities is worth noting. So is the point (not referenced in this post) that public funding levels for such environmental health efforts have been flat or declining. Making the case for improving environmental conditions for health — and supporting the work required — both matter.
When we travel to cities and communities large and small, we see first-hand the direct link between a healthy environment and healthy lives, especially for our country's children. But as we observe Hispanic Heritage Month, it's worth remembering that too many of our children, especially in minority communities, live in unhealthy environments that lead to unhealthy lives.
Scientific studies show that minority children who live, learn, and play in low-income communities are at a greater risk of environmental health problems such as asthma, lead poisoning, pesticides exposure, among others.
In 2009, approximately 70 percent of Hispanic children lived where air quality standards were subpar, contributing to higher incidences of asthma and other respiratory diseases. In fact, Puerto Rican American children have among the highest levels of reported current asthma as compared to all other racial and ethnicity groups. In the United States, nearly 1 in 10 school-aged children live with asthma every day, those most affected live in lower-income communities of color.
These health disparities are more than just hospital visits and more medicine. They also mean more missed school days, and a higher incidence of obesity due to less exercise.
That's why improving children's health and fighting for environmental justice are critical to the work we do. And that's why we're proud that EPA and the National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) have collaborated with federal, state, and community partners to increase awareness on key environmental health issues, particularly among the most vulnerable minority populations.
Just last year, EPA and the NHMA actively participated in President Obama's Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children, which launched the Coordinated Federal Action Plan to reduce racial and ethnic asthma disparities. This plan now provides a framework for federal agencies with measurable goals and outcomes to enhance environmental health among our nation's children in partnership with our healthcare professionals.
Another key way to fight health disparities is increasing access to quality health care. The Affordable Care Act will help by connecting people to high-quality, affordable health insurance through the new Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid expansion, and consumer protections like prohibiting discrimination on the basis of pre-existing conditions, such as diabetes or asthma that disproportionately affect minority communities.
But if we are serious about addressing large scale public health disparities, especially for our children—we must be serious about reducing carbon pollution and fighting climate change.
Climate change is about more than extreme weather. It's also about children's health. It's about clean, healthy air they breathe. The carbon pollution that fuels climate change brings about hotter weather—worsening levels of pollen and smog and leading to longer allergy seasons and increased heat-related deaths, especially for children.
The urgency to act on climate change couldn't be clearer. That's why we're proud to follow President Obama's leadership to bring communities together so we can take simple steps at home and in our neighborhoods to reduce the adverse impact of a changing climate and do right by our children.
As we travel the country, we see that a healthy environment means healthy children. And as we observe the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, it's our promise to the American people to continue fighting for cleaner water, cleaner air, and stronger public health standards for all of our children and families—regardless of who they are, where they come from, or where they live.
Gina McCarthy is the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Dr. Elena Rios serves as President & CEO of the National Hispanic Medical Association, (NHMA), representing 45,000 Hispanic physicians in the United States. She also serves as President of NHMA's National Hispanic Health Foundation affiliated with the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, New York University, to direct educational and research activities.

Thanks to the HeroesPosted: November 25, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: environmental health, leadership, philanthropy, toxics, women Leave a comment
In this Thanksgiving week, the HEFN staff sends out a big thank-you to all of our members, colleagues, and friends who do so much to make this world healthier, greener, and fairer. Thank you!
We are especially appreciative of HEFN's leaders. If committed leadership is an asset – and it surely is – then HEFN has been one of the best-endowed funder groups around. HEFN is stronger because many funders who helped get HEFN off the ground years ago still are actively engaged. HEFN also is stronger because many of those veterans have made it a priority to invite and make space for new leadership.
So, in this week of appreciations, we send out special thanks to four long-time HEFN leaders who will rotate out of the Steering Committee at the end of 2013.
Thank you Mary Tyler Johnson! As a Johnson Family Foundation board member and environmental health consultant, Mary has played critical roles in raising awareness of the links between environmental toxins and the health of women and girls. Among Mary's many contributions to HEFN are several years of organizing a Women's Environmental Health group, talent-spotting and recruitment of great new funder leaders, and gracious relationship-building for HEFN with other funder groups interested in women's health and leadership.
Thank you, Heeten Kalan! As the New World Foundation's Senior Program Officer for Environmental Justice, Heeten has helped fundamentally shift environmental health philanthropy towards the full integration of environmental justice into strategies and investments. Heeten's many HEFN contributions include leadership of an Environmental Health and Environmental Justice working group, authorship of one of our most re-posted blog posts ever, and expansion of HEFN's funder collaboration work into energy issues.
Thank you, Anita Nager! Through successive perches at the New York Community Trust, the Beldon Fund, and now the Jenifer Altman Foundation and philanthropic consultant, Anita has been a savvy strategist, tireless proponent, and sage counsel for the environmental health movement and its campaigns for safer chemicals. Anita has served in many leadership roles for HEFN, including as co-chair of HEFN's national steering committee and of its Catalysts group on chemicals. She also has significantly advanced the art of weaving fun into funder collaboration on tough issues.
And thank you, Michael Lerner! HEFN's founder will rotate out of his Chair Emeritus role at the end of 2013. HEFN owes its existence to Michael, who founded the network with colleagues in 1999. As Executive Director of the Jenifer Altman Foundation, Michael guided HEFN's growth from concept into a community, chairing its Steering Committee for years and then serving as Chair Emeritus. Mirroring the depth of moral reflection in his writing about philanthropy, Michael embedded in HEFN's culture the aim not of serving philanthropy per se but rather of serving society through philanthropy.
We just presented each of these leaders with a "HEFN Hero" jacket, as a small token of appreciation for their dedicated service and leadership. We are glad these HEFN Heroes are still fully engaged in this community, even as they rotate into other roles.
Best wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthy Thanksgiving!
Raising the Flag in Philanthropy: How to Get Your Issue Noticed and Bring Colleagues in to Collaborate with YouPosted: November 18, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: collaboration, environment, health, philanthropy, storytelling Leave a comment
Once upon a time I was a health advocate, working hard to capture attention for my issues: uninsurance, tobacco use, and other public health issues. That was my job – grabbing attention – and I learned how to do it: planning rallies, meeting with legislators, and thinking of new ways to get media attention for my issues.
I often draw on lessons from that work to inform my work today at HEFN. Today, I bring you my 5 steps that will help you capture the attention of your philanthropic colleagues.
Step 1: Raise Your Flag. Sometimes finding partners is as simple as letting people know what you're interested in and that you're seeking partners. If you are interested in addressing the air quality in your town or state, you are probably not alone. So, start hoisting: get involved with a relevant issue or regional affinity group or write about your issue for a philanthropic publication.
Once you have brought in your peers, you may still need more people. This is where the work gets a bit harder.
Step 2: Charisma Counts. Not everyone is naturally charismatic, but trust me, charisma counts. Bloomberg has a guide for how you can hone your charismatic leadership. Your issue may be an important one, but facts aren't enough. Create a narrative, an engaging story to put your facts in context. Think Ted Talk. Be thoughtful, succinct, and make people care. And don't forget…
Step 3: A Compelling Strategy. A veteran grantmaker once told me that the best outreach tool is a compelling strategy and I've been parroting her words ever since. Philanthropy is excited by new and compelling strategies. There are so many grants to make and so little time that opportunities that appear strategic and innovative really do sparkle. There are tools out there to support you, like Grantcraft's nifty new website that compiles many of the technologies out there to help you develop your strategy. So make your pitch sparkle with strategy too.
Step 4: Create Hero Opportunities. This is a term Judy Meredith used years ago in her book, Lobbying on a Shoestring Budget. I worked for Judy and this was one of mantras in her day-to-day work with NGOs. She said that it was critical to create Hero Opportunities to champion legislators, like a photo op at a bill signing or an award at a local health center. She believed that legislators yearned to make a difference and that by giving them these public cheers and accolades for their social change efforts, you would garner a more committed leader for your issue.
This can work in philanthropy as well. For example: You are funding a new project, and you've helped raise most of the budget, but it still needs $20,000 to launch. This is a hero opportunity. Give your colleagues the opportunity to be heroes. It could help you garner their support this time, and maybe next time too.
Step 5: Fly the Flag of Success. Highlighting successes, whether big or small, helps encourage more funders to see the value of an investment. When these moments appear is when philanthropy has an opportunity to help its team cross the goal line. The flag must be raised higher to truly galvanize philanthropy's potential to support significant social change.
So, get to it. Craft your strategy, hone your charisma, create opportunities, and get ready to raise that flag – and win!
Reflections from HEFN's 2013 Annual MeetingPosted: November 11, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: demographics, environmental health, environmental justice, philanthropy Leave a comment
What keeps funders and advocates in this field going when the stakes are high and the obstacles seem even higher? Knowing that people – when given a little help and half a chance – can build power to protect health, the environment, and communities.
Even more uplifting is the news that shifts in the American electorate indicate great opportunities to galvanize support for environmental health and justice issues, as unmarried women, people of color, and young voters become the new majority. These realities were front and center for HEFN's 2013 Annual Meeting, "Power of People: Moving Hearts, Minds, & Policy to Win," held in Washington, DC on October 29-30.
This event highlighted demographic shifts and political contexts shaping environment, health, and justice outcomes. Speakers described innovative state alliances, demonstrated cool monitoring tools, and explained new science about how environmental exposures affect human health. Short "TED talk" style sessions provided need-to-know information on civic engagement topics like demographics, redistricting, and money-in-politics. A stirring keynote presentation from Judith Browne Dianis of the Advancement Project offered insights into the frontlines of civil rights and voter engagement issues and made the case that protecting democracy is key to making progress on environmental health and environmental justice.
A handful of themes and takeaways emerged over the two-day meeting:
Develop authentic alliances
Many advocates are struggling to move their issues forward in the face of powerful interests. Over and over again, speakers emphasized the importance of building authentic, transformational relationships, not just transactional alliances. An example of partnerships among farmworkers, labor union organizers and LGBTQ advocates in Oregon illustrated ways in which groups have harnessed the "power in numbers" to win on multiple issues.
Demography is not destiny
The changing demographics of the U.S. electorate are exciting opportunities for the progressive movement. Research shows young people, unmarried women and people of color are among the most supportive of issues like environmental heath and justice. However, work must be done on the ground to build relationships with these groups, support their work, and develop strategies for moving environmental health and justice goals forward.
Democracy matters
The changing demographics of the U.S. States won't translate into political power if people can't vote. So far this year, nine states enacted legislation that poses numerous obstacles on voter rights, including ID requirements, shortening voting hours, and reducing early voting. Coupled with the Supreme Court ruling that struck down critical provisions of the Voting Rights Act, these attacks on democracy are concerns for everyone hoping to mobilize the emerging majorities to get out and vote.
Citizen science can help make change
Academics, scientists, and advocates are deploying new tools and technology to support work on critical environmental health and science issues. Often using household items, simple observation methods, and free and open source software, these groups are making it easier for communities to investigate and take action on environmental health hazards like air pollution.
Stick with it
It takes time to build lasting relationships and integrate work across issues and priorities. Revitalizing democracy and civic participation will require sustained work; there is no "off-year". Funders can play a key role by providing long-term investment, support, and leadership to groups building capacities for voter engagement and strategic alliances.

Philanthropy's Power to Lead on Divest-InvestPosted: November 4, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: clean energy, climate change, fossil fuels, investing, philanthropy 1 Comment
Imagine an economy fueled daily by the sun's energy. Jobs are opening up in sustainable companies that previously struggled to survive in a fossil fuel dependent world. Imagine that this robust, creative economy is no longer undermined by the political power of the fossil fuel industry, that energy markets are driven by consumers rather than by political manipulation and industry leverage.
Progressive philanthropy can help turn this vision into reality. Doing so will require divesting from fossil fuels and investing in preferred alternatives: in infrastructure and local efficiencies; in clean energy and technology; and in sustainable agriculture and consumer products.
This vision has compelled me to purge my personal and philanthropic assets of the fossil fuel industry. It was not "simple." The deep-rooted conservative, Nebraskan father figure financier often surfaced arguing, "Divestment isn't practical. How will you maintain your asset allocation, how will you replace that return on investment?"
Moral reasons are my core impetus for divesting. Fortunately, though, any doubts raised by that stern-voiced specter in the black suit are quelled by financial data. In fact, financial literature and testimony show divestment to be a prudent and risk adverse decision.
Fossil fuel stocks, whose valuations are linked to their reserves, are over-valued. Conservative estimates point to a "carbon bubble" many times larger than the recent $2 trillion housing bust. When investors realize that up to 80% of current fossil fuel reserves cannot be used, the carbon bubble will pop, with profound economic consequences.
Such warnings are coming from a growing body of financial analysis, including Carbon Tracker, the London School of Economics, Lord Nicholas Stern, The Grantham Institute, HSBC, Standard & Poor's the University of Oxford, and the Economist. The existence of a global carbon bubble and the reality of stranded fossil assets are fast becoming mainstream wisdom.
So here's my invitation: join me and significant portfolios like the Wallace Global Fund (WGF) in a Divest-Invest Foundation Initiative. Two years ago, WGF committed to full divestment of its portfolio from the fossil fuel industry by 2014. In partnership with other foundations — including newer ones that never invested in fossil fuels — we can create a community of practice. Together we can use philanthropy's resources, power, reputation and credibility to support a broader Divest–Invest movement and other campaigns. Now is the time for philanthropy to direct its power toward creative investments scaled to meet the challenges of the global climate crisis.
Whether you decide to divest just your personal assets or those of a foundation, I commend you. If you could start with a 5% carve out for reinvestment, I urge to begin.
Divesting from fossil fuels and investing in new energy solutions emanates from the courage to help steer humanity away from fossil fuel dependence. It asserts our say in our future. It demands that we support solutions rather than sinking further into a destructive spiral. We will need to support expansive, aggressive movements in order to effectively stem climate change. But our many small steps today can get us where we need to be tomorrow.

Learning from the Dance Floor: Building Equity + Alignment for ImpactPosted: October 28, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: dance, environmental health, environmental justice, environmentalism, equity, grassroots, philanthropy Leave a comment
Throughout my four years at The Overbrook Foundation, I've often heard colleagues describe philanthropy as "more of an art than a science." My first career was in the arts – modern dance – and when making a dance, two minutes of material can take two weeks to generate. Collaboration is key; the end product is a mixture of visions and vocabularies. And often a finished piece is very different, but much better than what was originally imagined.
So if this philanthropy stuff is "art" why do we seem to stay more or less within our own circles? Why are we so concerned with metrics, grant cycles and deliverables, and who's defining what it means to "win" anyway?
In an April post for this blog, HEFN Director Kathy Sessions wrote, "Environmental philanthropy as a whole has…held too narrow a view of what power matters, too limited a view of who has power, and too short-sighted a view of whose power is worth building." Kathy's sentiment reflects a need for change throughout the field.
Yet change is not happening fast enough, or at a large enough scale. As Sarah Hansen reported in a National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy paper "Cultivating the Grassroots," just two percent of the most resourced environmental groups in the U.S. get 50 percent of the funding. This is a call to action for funders to take a hard look at the power dynamics we help perpetuate.
Last July, Overbrook and partners launched a process to address historic rifts and strategize authentic collaborations among grassroots, "big green" groups and philanthropy. The meeting, hosted by the Johnson Foundation at Wingspread, followed the Jemez Principles and worked off the equation "Equity + Alignment = Impact." In other words, grassroots organizations must be able to expand and contribute their base-building capacity in a meaningful way (equity) and various parts of the movement must be working with a common strategy and purpose (alignment). We believe that equity and alignment together will increase impact, building a broader, stronger progressive movement that looks like the country it serves rather than the few who hold the purse strings.
Building Equity and Alignment Meeting Participants at the Wingspread meeting convened as part of Overbrook's Building Equity and Alignment (BEA) Initiative. Once assembled, the group led the process, sharing stories and building narratives to strategize from a place of deep understanding and respect. To address inequity from the outset, Overbrook supported every grassroots representative with travel and work stipends. It was just one small way to start "walking our talk" as a foundation. The meeting produced a collaboratively-written Vision Statement and a strategy for new workgroups to tackle tasks toward achieving equitable collaborations and resource-shifts to the grassroots.
As funders, we are seeing how authentic partnerships help all sectors soar. It is now our task to build an allied funders group to accompany the BEA Initiative. Although still in development, this group could work together to shift harmful inequities, building broad support for a bottom-up approach. More tangibly, the allied funders group could also result in a community-advised, pooled fund to increase resources for movement-building and the grassroots organizing sector.
Imagine how much more impactful the entire movement could be if equity and alignment underpinned everything we did. We must acknowledge what years of experience have shown. Power and innovation is coming not from the top-down, but from lower-income communities and communities of color, rooted in and accountable to the communities they serve. And finally, we must relax our grip on grantee metrics and deliverables, understanding the end result can be better than what was originally imagined.
It's easier said than done, but definitely a lot more transformational. Let's bring the art back to philanthropy. Let's dance!

The Overbrook-based initiative looks at tools the U.S. environmental movement can use to increase equity and alignment among grassroots, mainstream green groups and philanthropy, shifting resources to the grassroots and strengthening the entire movement in the process.
Room to Move: Protecting Community Health in Transportation ProjectsPosted: October 21, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: air quality, California, environmental health, Goods Movement, Infrastructure, Transportation 2 Comments
The upcoming widening of the Panama Shipping Canal is causing a global stir, one felt especially in California, where more than half of all imported shipping containers enter the U.S. The fear of losing competitiveness to newly accessible East Coast ports has those on the West scrambling to expand their ability to accommodate super-tankers and efficiently transport consumer goods from ships to trucks and rail, a process also known as the "goods movement." Dredging our oceans and widening our superhighways is viewed as the price of participating effectively in the global economy, but is it the only option? Faced with a proposed multi-billion-dollar expansion of the freeway that runs through their community, residents of Long Beach, California and the Long Beach Freeway Corridor decided to find another path.
Long Beach is part of the country's largest shipping complex, consisting of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Between the rail yards of East Los Angeles and the two ports is the 24-mile stretch of the I-710 freeway. In order to accommodate projected truck traffic traveling to and from the ports, a $15 billion freeway expansion is under consideration. The proposal would potentially double the width of the freeway from 8 lanes to 16 – making this the single largest infrastructure project currently under review in the country.
Current health impacts from diesel truck traffic on the I-710 already threaten the well-being of those who live along the corridor. Residents there suffer disproportionately from asthma, cancer and other conditions related to air pollution. Soot blankets the windowsills in even the wealthiest areas of Long Beach and the closer to the freeway, the worse things are.
At The California Endowment, we are in the third year of a ten-year investment to improve health outcomes in Long Beach by improving neighborhood conditions. A quick drive through West Long Beach reveals what we all know: too often land-use planning does not place people at the heart of decision-making. So when residents and community groups learned of the proposed I-710 expansion, they knew that without community involvement and organizing, the project might meet the needs of shippers and truckers, but would not address the needs of the people who living in 710 corridor communities.
Together, concerned residents and organizations formed the Coalition for Environmental Health and Justice (CEHAJ), which has worked intensively to ensure the needs of community residents are included through holistic design. The group pushed Caltrans to include a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in order to quantify the health impacts of the 710 Corridor Project in the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). However, when the DEIR was finally released at a whopping 10,000 pages, advocates knew they needed help to review the document and offer input that was taken seriously. A rapid response by local funders, including The Endowment, assisted CEHAJ in hiring technical experts to provide comments on the DEIR. And rather than simply respond to Caltrans proposals, CEHAJ worked with these experts and community residents to develop an alternative scenario that incorporates the community's vision. This alternative is called the Community Alternative 7 (CA7).
CA7 envisions a different future for the I-710 corridor: one with zero-emissions trucks, greater investment in public transit, better access to open space and parks, and an improved LA River. Local residents would be hired for local jobs, and there would be expanded opportunities to walk and bike safely. In short, a project built for people, not trucks.
As a result of community organizing efforts, the 710 Project Committee made up of local elected officials voted to include the CA7 as an official alternative of the 710 Corridor Project. If the CA7 is chosen as the final plan for the expansion project, it can serve as a model of what can be done to create projects that support port growth while placing a premium on local health.
The project has not yet crossed the finish line and much work remains. But this case serves as a valuable example of how funders can play a critical role in holding public systems accountable to considerations of community health in development projects. The use of HIAs makes health impacts visible and the funding of technical experts ensures these inputs are taken into account in the planning process. Local government is only as accountable as the community itself can make it. Through the effort and dedication of local residents, authentic needs may surface and be held up as too important to ignore.
To hear more about the I-710 freeway project and philanthropic efforts to ensure smarter and healthier growth on massive infrastructure projects, please join me on an October 25 webinar for funders co-sponsored by HEFN, the Funders Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities, and the Environmental Grantmakers Association.

- PLFI rebel held in Khunti district
Ranchi: One PLFI rebel was detained in Arki on Sunday and another rebel belonging to the People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a breakaway faction of the CPI(Maoist), was arrested in Raniya police station area of Khunti, 40km from here, on Saturday. Milton Kandulna, who was arrested on Saturday, is a resident of Bandgaon in West Singhbhum but was active in Rania police stationarea which shares border with Khunti. One pistol, three mobile phones and several bullets were recovered from his possession. Khunti SP Anish Gupta said the identity of the detained rebel is being verified. "The rebel who was arrested on Saturday was sent to jail on Sunday. In the last two months, the PLFI has witnessed toughest and largest crackdown," said ASP (operations) P R Mishra, who has led many of the operations against the rebels under 'Operation Cocoon'. The chief minister Raghubar Das has asked the police to target the splinter groups who have been causing troubles. In his recent interview in Kolkata CM Das said that Maoists are not a problem, but criminal-cum small splinter groups. A report from Khunti police said that 12 PLFI rebels have been arrested since June when 'Operation Cocoon' began. The arrested PLFI rebels include one area commander. "The operation has weakened the organization very much," said Mishra. The operation is going on despite monsoon which is not considered suitable for operations because several patches of land are muddy, water collects in the fields. The small pits are full of water and it is difficult for the forces, not as well aware of the topography as the rebels, to not get in trouble. "The operation will continue despite the challenges the forces are facing," said Mishra.
- DDA to revamp 7 district centres
NEW DELHI: The Delhi Development Authority has decided to upgrade the infrastructure at its seven district centres in the city. The decision was taken in a bid to address the growing problem of traffic congestion in and around these centres. The land-owning agency has directed Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning & Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC) to prepare detailed plans for each centre. The proposal was approved in the recent authority meeting. DDA officials said these centres were planned as per the provisions of the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD). The road networks were planned according to the population projection in the MPD. "Provision for traffic infrastructure had not been done prior to the disposal of these commercial plots. The cost towards provision of infrastructure in and around these centres was also not added to the project," said a DDA official. Over a period of time, the load on infrastructure has increased manifold. DDA now is working on short and long term plans to decongest the centres. The agency plans to upgrade the infrastructure to ensure smooth movement of traffic, adequate parking space, pedestrian pathways, etc. As part of the short term plans, the agency will focus on junction improvement by channelizing traffic and pedestrians, traffic management through one way movement, traffic-calming measures like table-top crossings, 3D zebra markings, rumble strips, etc. It also plans to construct grade separators, construct new bypasses, foot overbridges and dedicated non-motorised vehicle lanes. The upgradation work will be funded by the Union urban development ministry and DDA.

Season 15 Premieres September 15 at 9/8c
Project Runway Blog
Season 10 Q&A: Beatrice Guapo Discusses Her Early "Runway" Exit
The crop of fresh-faced Season 10 designers had a lot to handle in their first episode, from the massive runway show in the middle of Times Square to the challenge requirement of presenting two finished (and cohesive!) looks. Beatrice Guapo's knit pieces were unfortunately met with an "auf wiedersehen" from the judges. We spoke with Beatric about her time on the show, her near-catastrophic garment problem and the juicy drama between Christopher and Gunnar. Check it out after the jump!Q: What was the best piece of advice you got while you were on the show?
Beatrice: I think one thing that I didn't do was "Go with your instinct to keep with your aesthetic." That is probably your saving grace with everything.
Q: There have been reports that two other competitors left the competition later in the taping process. Does that make you mad, considering you really wanted to be there?
Beatrice: I don't know anything about anybody leaving. At that time I was already off, so I pretty much accepted it by now.
Q: Do you regret anything you did?
Beatrice: Yeah! I feel like I wish I did more of what they liked on my rack, which was more "me," that got me on [the show]. I should have just stuck with what I do best.
Q: How would you describe your experience on the show?
Beatrice: Overall, I really enjoyed it. I loved the designers – everybody had a very strong personality, and they were really funny; we were laughing a lot. I enjoyed it. I think it was a great experience and I was really excited to be accepted.
Q: Do you have a prediction of who might win?
Beatrice: I think it's too early. I definitely think I have a top three, but for the most part I think it's still anybody's bag right now. I really think Chris is really great, and Ven. And it's between Melissa and Dmitry, too. I have a top four, I guess.
Q: It seemed like the hole in your dress was pivotal for you on the runway.
Beatrice: Yes. When I split that hole, I looked at it and I thought, "Wow, this hole could possibly be my downfall." The hole was the size of a canyon. I chopped off the top of the dress completely. And this is 20 minutes till runway 20 minutes! And I made a block, kind of squared, flouncy top in 20 minutes.
Q: Did you have any idea that you might be the one going home, or were you hopeful that you'd be picked to stick around?
Beatrice: I think the best approach in my brain was, "Okay, think worst-case-scenario that you're going home," so I didn't have a complete meltdown when I left.
Q: Do you think you deserved to go home compared to Lantie and Kooan?
Beatrice: Just in my mind, from my point of view, I was thinking, "No one should do a shirt in 20 minutes on 'Project Runway' and stay." So I was accepting of my fate.
Q: What did you think of the Gunner and Christopher drama?
Beatrice: I feel like there's a love-hate relationship with them. I think they did like each other, but they almost were a lot alike it was like a love-hate thing. Very passionate.
Q: What was your favorite moment from being on the show?
Beatrice: Meeting Tim Gunn was an awesome moment. I think he's just, he brings so much to the show, and you really do trust his opinion. He always has a great approach to everything. He has a great vibe; I can't explain it. But it was surreal to finally meet him after so many years of watching the show.
Q: What can we expect to see next from you?
Beatrice: Right now I have my line GG Collective. I'm really excited to get back in designing. I completed winter and now I'm doing spring with these beautiful bold jewel sweater prints, and I'm doing some really fun chiffon prints blocked with my knits, so I'm really excited to go back to it. GG Collective is my baby and now I'm getting out there with it.

Get an alert when new Current 93 dates are announced
Current 93 is Hallucinatory Cartoonist and Apocalyptic Squatter David Tibet, who has been the only constant in the group, though Steven Stapleton (of Nurse With Wound) has appeared on nearly every Current 93 release.
Much of Current 93's early work was similar to late 1970s and early 1980s industrial music: abrasive tape loops, droning synthesizer noises and Tibet's distorted, ranting vocals. Later works found Tibet mostly casting off such trappings in favor of a more organic sound, labeled by some as "apocalyptic folk" music, occasionally featuring his sinister nursery rhyme-influenced singing and primarily acoustic folk-styled music. The later to present-day period of Current 93's recordings increasingly reflect Tibet's interest in Christian mysticism.

c. 2014 Religion News Service
(RNS) A group of county commissioners in Florida is testing a recent Supreme Court decision by banning atheists from delivering an invocation before local public meetings.
Half a world away from Europe, where World War I erupted 100 years ago on July 28, Washington National Cathedral marked the occasion with a liturgy created especially for the anniversary.
(RNS) The Internal Revenue Service said it will monitor churches and other houses of worship for electioneering in a settlement reached with an atheist group.
(RNS) A federal court has ruled that humanist couples in Indiana can be married by their own "secular celebrants," something that until now was illegal under state law.
NANTUCKET, Massachusetts (RNS) It is an old family story that has become part of the island's lore.
(RNS) The decades-long battle over a cross erected on public land in California will drag out even longer now that the Supreme Court declined June 30 to hear the case.
(RNS) What do atheists "pray" for?
Municipalities around the country are finding out, as nonbelievers of all stripes—atheists, humanists, agnostics, and other freethinkers—begin giving invocations at local government meetings.
The U.S. Supreme Court has let stand a lower court ruling that a Wisconsin high school acted unconstitutionally when it held its graduation ceremonies in a local megachurch.
(RNS) According to the title of his new book, Frank Schaeffer is an atheist.
But he prays every day. And he goes to church every weekend. Catch him on the right day and he'll admit he believes in God.
(RNS) If interfaith marriages are supposedly doomed, Dale McGowan's should have been toe-tagged from the start.
He's a committed atheist; his wife comes from a line of Southern Baptist preachers. Yet 23 years and three kids later, they are still happily married.
(RNS) An interfaith coalition has again asked the U.S. House of Representatives to reject a prayer plaque at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The highest court in Massachusetts upheld the legality of the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance on May 9, dealing a blow to atheist groups who challenged the pledge on antidiscrimination grounds.
(RNS) Ever since author John Grogan scored a megahit with 2005's Marley & Me, publishers of all stripes have been looking for the next chart-topping, boo-hooing, man-and-his-dog story.
STANFORD, California (RNS) This week's Supreme Court ruling allowing sectarian prayers at public meetings dealt a body blow to atheist organizations.
(RNS) Catherine Dunphy came to seminary in her mid-20s, full of passion to work in the service of the Catholic Church. By the time she left, for many reasons, she had lost her faith.
(RNS) The American Humanist Association is suing a New Jersey school district for its recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public classrooms.
The lawsuit, brought on behalf of a local family in central New Jersey, asserts the mandatory recitation of the pledge is discriminatory against nonbelievers because it includes the phrase "under God."
(RNS) A new paper draws an intriguing conclusion to a question scholars have wrestled with for several decades: Why are Americans dropping out of church?
One reason? They're logging on to the Internet.
(RNS) Nathan Phelps, the estranged atheist son of anti-gay Kansas pastor Fred Phelps who died Wednesday (March 19), is asking people to look beyond his father's legacy of hate.
America's vaunted Protestant work ethic is getting a makeover: now it might be more of a secular or atheist work ethic.
A new study has found an inverse relationship between the religiosity of a state's population and its "productive entrepreneurship." That's professor-speak for "entrepreneurial investment responsible for real economic growth."
(RNS) Many viewers may be hoping that "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" lives up to the original series created by astronomer Carl Sagan 35 years ago.
But no one will watch the program, airing Sunday (March 9) on Fox, with greater anticipation than nonbelievers—atheists, agnostics, humanists and other "nones."
