    Hm, were your ears burning around 6pm yesterday? I went camera-shopping, and told a salesman what my friend Celeste recommended, and he was highly complimentary to you, Girl. He thinks you're brilliant! So, I checked around some more, and experts agree...thanks, C. xo QJ

    Celeste, I read your piece about the golden doggie who slept on your porch, and the next thing I read was this (part of my Virgo horoscope by Rob Brezsney) sent by a friend -- t's the last line that resonates:

    SACRED ADVERTISEMENT
    Congratulations. Every cell in your perfect animal body is beginning to purr with luminous gratitude for the enormity of the riches you endlessly receive. You are becoming aware that each of your heart’s beats originates as a gift of love directly from the Goddess herself. Any residues of hatred that had been tainting your libido are leaving you for good. You are becoming telepathically linked to the world’s entire host of secret teachers, pacifist warriors, philosopher clowns, and bodhisattvas disguised as convenience store clerks.

  • False Answer To Pain At The Pump: Higher Prices and More Polluter Giveaways, Roadblocks to Clean Energy
    WASHINGTON (July 23, 2008) -- Today dirty fuel leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives are taking advantage of America’s pain at the gas pump to try to create more corporate giveaways for the filthiest, most dangerous and expensive sources of energy, according to experts at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
  • Hot Weather in Western States Threatens Trout Survival
    Helena, MT (July 23, 2008) – Rivers and streams across the West are getting hotter and drier, making it increasingly difficult for trout to feed and spawn, according to a new report by fishing and conservation groups. The report says global warming is shrinking cold-water habitat, threatening the survival of trout and a billion dollar recreational fishing industry.
  • Energy Policy Meltdown: Bush Administration and Oil Shale
    WASHINGTON, DC (July 22, 2008) – In a potentially disastrous plan that would destroy large tracts of the Rocky Mountain region, the Bush administration today announced its draft regulations for opening 2 million acres of public lands in Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah for commercial oil shale production, according to experts at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
  • New Report Ranks States Most Vulnerable to Rising Gas Prices, Offers Solutions for Relief

  • Judge Reinstates Endangered Species Act Protections for Wolves
    LIVINGSTON, Mont. (July 18, 2008) – A federal judge in the U.S. District Court in Missoula, Montana issued a preliminary injunction today reinstating Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in the Northern Rockies. Conservation groups had sued the government, arguing that delisting the wolves was premature and that allowing the indiscriminate killing of wolves risked putting wolves back on the brink of extinction.

  • Lunch Time Roundup: Defining Social Enterprise and The Latest on Water Concerns

    I believe that the dialogue on philantrocapitalism featured in NextBillion is actually rooted in a question of semantics. As Edwards points out in his book, the whole conversation surrounding NextBillion.net has coined a number of terms (Social Enterprise/Entrepreneurship, patient/creative capital/capitalism, blended value, double/triple bottom line, B, M and ToP, inclusive business, and the list goes on...) that can create confusion and may pose a risk overheating for the sector. Even SMEs are now being called Small and Growing Businesses. Not that I disagree; we want them to grow and become the next microfinance, but agreeing on a nomenclature wouldn't hurt. By the way, stay tuned next week for a wrap-up of the ANDE conference.     


    Anyway, I guess this is the case for any growing sector and challenges like Edwards' are necessary for the it to gain maturity and continue its consolidation. Skoll Foundation has previously tackled the question of definition, and two recent papers continue the conversation around key issues for the sector's maturity: the first, by CGAP, discusses the (some may argue) blurring line between the for- and non-profit models, analyzing ownership and governance challenges faced by MFIs as they leave the NGO model and transform into commercial institutions.  Also, Harvard Business School discusses the future of social enterprise, as part of its year-long 100th birthday celebrations.

    On another note, just a couple of links to remain current on the latest water debate: Scientific American offers a very informative piece on the coming water crisis, possible courses of action and how it will affect everyone at the base and elsewhere in the economic pyramid. This week's Economist also goes into water shortages focusing on the markets and pricing issues, as does Aguanomics' David Zetland in a recent Forbes article.  All pieces seem to agree at least on one point: sooner than later, prices will keep us from taking water for granted.

  • A Dialogue on Philanthrocapitalism: The Importance of Listening
    This is the fifth and final installment of our series reviewing Michael Edwards' Just Another Emperor and the concept of 'philanthrocapitalism'. Follow the links to read part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4.

    By Rob Katz and Francisco Noguera

    Philanthrocapitalism – harnessing business and the market to the goals of social change – is a controversial term. First introduced by The Economist's Matthew Bishop, then expounded upon by the Ford Foundation's Michael Edwards, philanthrocapitalism has been the subject of no fewer than four major online discussions and debates. Here at NextBillion.net, we have dedicated five blog posts to the topic, offering a range of opinions on Edwards' new book, Just Another Emperor: The Myths and Realities of Philanthrocapitalism.

    Derek, Moses, Manuel and Nitin – who authored the first four entries in this series – offer a range of viewpoints, mostly critical of Edwards' argument that market strategies are inappropriate tools for driving social change. Edwards, of course, makes many salient points, and is not to be criticized as a hack. (Over at the Global Philanthropy Forum blog, Benetech's Jim Fruchterman deconstructs Michael Edwards in no uncertain terms, and comes close to making this very criticism. Edwards responds.)

    As I read through the NextBillion.net posts and comments, the Global Philanthropy Forum debate, the OpenDemocracy forum and other discussions on philanthrocapitalism, I wonder if we aren't talking past each othe
