I've been trying to learn as much as possible about the Deep Horizon Rig Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and it has consumed all of my spare time and attention. You can see much more of what I have collected and presented here, at my facebook page: </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">http://www.facebook.com/00Kevin</span></i></span></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></i></span></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Soon I will begin to focus my attention on and report about the Benefit Events for those affected by this disaster. There will be many, of course. And there will, no doubt, be many great events that provide a great deal of relief to those in need. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Already, LA and MS fishermen have been deeply affected by the closure of their fisheries. That closure continues and looks to remain in effect for some time. Already, these people need help. That should come from BP, but will mostly come from OUR Federal Government (read: yours and my tax dollars). And that won't be enough to really replace the lost income from fisheries and tourism along the Gulf Coast that is certain even in a best case scenario. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The media has slowed it's coverage on the spill as there is little NEWS to report while the spill stays out to sea. That is better than it washing up on shore but there are still numerous negative ecological and economic impacts even if, by some miracle, the leak is contained quickly and the slick does not come ashore in these extremely sensitive areas. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Not to paint an apocalyptic picture before that manifests itself (and it might) I am remaining positive and looking at what effects are known and what can be done rather than predict the complete devastation of Gulf Coast tourism, fisheries, economies and eco-systems. However, that is a real possibility. As is a devastating effect on the Everglades, The Straights of Florida, The Florida Keys and The Atlantic Beaches of Florida as well. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">For now, join me in crossing your fingers and PRAYING!

It is also an interesting model for charitable organizations (especially environmental causes) to examine.</div><div>
<br /></div><div><a href="http://www.abidtosavetheearth.org/"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">A BID TO SAVE THE EARTH</span></i></b></a><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"> </span></i></b>offers people three ways to "Bid Green". I mention it not so much because there is an event to attend but because of what it supports and now it's being done; A combination of online and offline live and silent auctions. Really smart and fairly original.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>There is, an event to attend, on April 22nd, at Christie's in NYC, but it's so private I have not been able to get much information on it. It's hosted by Susan & David Rockefeller and lists confirmed guests reads like the greatest / greenest / most famous people on earth. Everyone from HM Queen Noor to Kevin Bacon seems to be confirmed. See for yourself <a href="http://www.abidtosavetheearth.org/event"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">HERE</span></i></b></a>.<div><div><div>
<br /></div><div>But, as I said, the interesting thing here is how they have combined all kinds of auctions and items. Here's the package...</div><div>
<br /></div><div><b>Online / Silent Auction: April 8 - May 6.</b></div><div>The items <a href="http://www.charitybuzz.com/auctions/ABidtoSavetheEarth/catalog_items"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">available here</span></i></b></a> are unreal! Works of art, experiences, travel packages, even a 2010 Lexus Hybrid h250...and so much more that, honestly, it's overwhelming.</div><div><b>
<br /></b></div><div><b>Live @ Christie's NYC and Online - Thursday, April 22nd</b></div><div>You can bid on the live auction via <a href="http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/searchresults.aspx?intSaleID=22607#action=refine&intSaleID=22607&sid=44bf5792-2f26-4137-88ae-983496c99d0e"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">"Christies Live"</span></i></b></a> starting at 7:30pm on April 22nd. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>Proceeds benefit several organizations including <b>NRDC, Central Park Conservancy, Conservation International</b> and one of my favorites,<b> Oceana</b> and is claiming to be carbon neutral. Learn more <a href="http://www.abidtosavetheearth.org/organizations"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">HERE</span></i></b></a>. These organizations are also asking us all to Bid to do something to help the earth and they made a little <b><i><a href="http://vimeo.com/10929610"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">video</span></a></i></b> about that. It's kinda cool. Personally, I bid to use public transportation more / as much as possible and to find ways to raise money and awareness for <a href="http://www.riverkeeper.org/news-events/events/"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;">Riverkeeper</span></i></b></a> and <a href="http://na.oceana.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><i><b>Oceana</b></i></span></a>.</div><div>

<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- Tickets are really reasonable with GA starting at only $25. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- 56 galleries from 12 nations represented. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- There is a lecture series brilliantly branded SALON SOFA.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">- Slick rotating gif slide show of some really cool pieces (people are "visiual beings'.

<br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">$100 is reasonable and it includes a cocktail reception featuring "A taste of New York" honoring MAD Trustee Sandy Grotta will be held in the Tiffany Room of The Park Avenue Armory, which, is evidently a space to behold. So that alone might be worth $100. Patrons will be able to partake in a "first look" walking tour of SOFA with MAD Director Holly Hotchner and Curator of Jewelry, Ursula Neuman. NOT: That's early @ 12:30pm.

And events are often used as effective tools to raise funds (and awareness) for non-profit organizations. But not all events or organizations are as efficient as others, in this regard*. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">So, if you get invited to a lot of events and you find your budget for them under pressure these days, you want to be more discerning about what events you attend and which non-profits you support. To those ends, <b><i><a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;">Charity Navigator</span></a></i></b> is a great tool for you.</span><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I realize that nobody is going to surf the thousands of non-profits listed and evaluated them to see where they want to send all that money they don't know what to do with. More likely, you'll be solicited for a donation from a friend, associate or organization and you'll use Charity Navigator to help you to make that decision. Or, you are somebody who is a serious supporter of an organization and you would like to keep tabs on how your donations are being spent. The savvy advocate or philanthropist will find the site quite useful, I think.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Their methodology is explained in detail <a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=35"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;">HERE</span></b></a>. Simplified, they rate charities on a Four Star Scale. Four Star Charities have the lowest overhead to programming ratios. Meaning, for example, a very, very highly rated charity will use $80 out of $100 for programs (what they DO like feed orphans, protect dolphins or build wells in poor nations) and operate their organization (administrative and fundraising efforts) on the other $20 dollars. A "inefficient" charity may spend 80% of their funds operating the organization and apply only 20% of their budget to programming. That would be something like a One Star Organization. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Whatever cause you support, I'm sure there is a "continuum of efficiency" among the organizations that bring efforts to bare for that cause. Clearly, not all organizations are created (or managed) equally so you may want to use the information you find about your favorite non-profit organization in any number of ways. Your findings might help you to sing its praises, motivate you to encourage a better effort out of its directors. Or you might discover that the charity you've been supporting for years had been grossly underperforming for years and begin to look for a different organization to support.<br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Like Wikipedia, Charity Navigator is supported by our donations. So, if you use it, you should donate <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;"><a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.support">HERE</a></span></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">* For attendees, events (even charity events) are still only one way to support an organization. And, there is much more value to an event than its efficiency as a fundraiser. Think about the fun you have, the people you meet, the things you learn and what you share with others. These are real reasons to attend events, even if it not the most efficient means by which to support an organization or a cause. </span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kevin Josephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10450451471558420581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503620733163937444.post-66707627965664316012010-03-04T18:50:00.001-08:002010-03-06T12:46:30.892-08:00Aspen Fashion Week - March 14-19, 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O-r9kIHQw6U/S5BxjbfxSQI/AAAAAAAAAHc/d1nxuRPQZWY/s1600-h/logotipo.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 101px; height: 118px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O-r9kIHQw6U/S5BxjbfxSQI/AAAAAAAAAHc/d1nxuRPQZWY/s320/logotipo.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444976802981300482" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Now in it's second year, </span></span><a href="http://www.aspenfashionweek.com/"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Aspen Fashion Week</span></span></b></span></i></a><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">beckons you to the snowy surrounds of this hot mountain hamlet for, what else, high fashion.
