The Nude Aesop: Camera Fables for the Modern Man
No full textHow can it be that I have been collecting for seventeen years and never even knew that this crazy book existed?! Hats off to Greg Williams for finding it for me! Aesop serves as a kind of coat rack for hanging your latest nude photographs, just as one could do a nude Shakespeare or a nude Mother Goose. Overall, there are five fables, two folk-tale parodies, and one group of photos that did not work into the fables. In WS, Allen cleverly (1) chooses the poorer version, so that the story is about taking off clothes and (2) makes the subject a girl, so that the bet is about making her drop her cloak completely. In The Dancing Lamb, the wolf, playing the lamb's flute, begins to enjoy himself as the lamb dances. The Stomach Rebellion is done in color. The choice of its last illustration raises questions. MM, which uses a wine-jar, makes the most effective use of the medium. Lazy Elizabeth works off the Aesopic The Boy and the Filberts. The dust-jacket blurb says that this book breaks new ground in a well-worn field.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Casey Alle
Strategic Communications for Influence: Lessons From the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Its KIDS COUNT Initiative
No full text· This article describes how the Annie E. Casey Foundation is using the KIDS COUNT Network in a new way: as a strategic communications tool in its focused efforts toward policy change, broad social change, and improved conditions for vulnerable children and families. An outcome map illustrates links between this strategy and the intended outcomes.
· Case illustrations of KIDS COUNT grantee activities surrounding the release of the 2008 KIDS COUNT Data Book describe the efforts of grantees in six states where the quantity and quality of media coverage surrounding the national data book reflected the kind of coverage that Casey believes will help achieve its desired outcomes.
· Strategic communications approaches such as relationships with journalists, use of locally relevant information, use of locally relevant media advocacy strategies, good preparation, and a solution orientation were present in states demonstrating desirable media coverage.
· Prescribing specific communications tactics matters less than supporting the network’s general capacity to engage in year-round strategic communications approaches to create conditions (e.g., reputations, relationships) that will contribute to successful media advocacy related to a specific event such as the release of the national data book

Peer Networking and Community Change: Improving Foundation Practice
No full text· This article brings together the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 15 years of experience with peer networking— examining through two research studies the process of peer networking and its impact, both with community-based and funder groups.
· Peer networking helps people with common interests to exchange information, disseminate good practices, and build a leadership structure for work they do together, such as a community change initiative.
· Casey’s research identified 10 good practices for effective peer networking, as well as 10 challenges that can affect its success; a four-level model was created to provide context for these findings.
· The research indicates that peer networking can have significant impact for communities and in meeting philanthropic goals, but it is costly and must be carefully structured if it is to be successful.
· Casey is working to synthesize its peer networking practices into a more strategic framework, and other foundations might use some of its lessons learned to enhance their own practices in this area

The holotype, a female in USNM, is labelled «Cane River La. [handwritten]/Casey bequest 1925/Type USNM 47337 / UAIC 00044058 / ludovicianus Csy. [handwritten]/ holotype Loxandrus ludovicianus by [handwritten] R. T. Allen». The holotype (SBL ¼ 7.9 mm; ABL ¼ about 9.0 mm) is conspecific with the lectotype of L. collucens Casey, 1918 [NEW SYNONYMY]. See comment under L. collucens Casey.Published as part of Bousquet, Yves, 2006, New Synonymies and Notes on North American Loxandrus LeConte (Coleoptera: Carabidae), pp. 145-157 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 60 (2) on page 149, DOI: 10.1649/865.
Loxandrus limatus Casey 1918
No full text12. Loxandrus limatus Casey, 1918:382 This taxon was described from an unspecified number of specimens collected in the « District of Columbia ». Casey’s collection in USNM contains a single specimen, a female herein designated as the lectotype, labelled «Washgtn 15.10 D.C./Casey bequest 1925/Type USNM 47335 / limatus Csy. [handwritten]/ UAIC 00044057 / lectotype Loxandrus limatus by [handwritten] R. T. Allen». The lectotype (SBL ¼ 8.9; ABL ¼ about 10.0 mm) is conspecific with specimens of L. rectus (Say, 1823) [NEW SYNONYMY]. As pointed out by Allen (1972:72) ‘‘the large size and broadly rounded and explinate posterior angles of the pronotum serve to distinguish this species [L. rectus] and L. pravitubus from all other Loxandrus species. ’’Published as part of Bousquet, Yves, 2006, New Synonymies and Notes on North American Loxandrus LeConte (Coleoptera: Carabidae), pp. 145-157 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 60 (2) on page 149, DOI: 10.1649/865.

No full text10. Loxandrus fulgens Casey, 1918:388 This taxon was described from an unspecified number of specimens collected at «Vicksburg, Mississippi ». Casey’s collection in USNM contains a single specimen, a female, herein designated as the lectotype, labelled «Vic Miss [handwritten]/Casey bequest 1925/Type USNM 47344 / fulgens Csy [handwritten]/ UIAC 00044055 / lectotype Loxandrus fulgens by [handwritten] R.

As pointed out by Allen (1972:144), L. brevicollis ‘‘is one of the larger and more distinct Loxandrus species. The males and females can usually be identified by using external characters.’’Published as part of Bousquet, Yves, 2006, New Synonymies and Notes on North American Loxandrus LeConte (Coleoptera: Carabidae), pp. 145-157 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 60 (2) on page 148, DOI: 10.1649/865.
Embedded Foundations: Advancing Community Change and Empowerment
No full text· Embedded funders are foundations that have made long-term commitments to the communities in which they are located or work.
· Foundations have a long history in funding community development, often with few concrete results.
· Political conditions, the increasing divide between rich and poor, inaccessibility of education, lack of housing, and continued segregation and racial discrimination are issues that need be addressed concurrently and resources need to be drawn from a variety of sources, particularly the neighborhoods themselves. This complexity has created an impetus for embedded philanthropy.
· Embedded funders work participatively with the community and frame evaluations in less theoretical, more actionable ways.
· While the future of embedded philanthropy remains to be seen, there is now a group of funders committed to this way of working
