Warren Buffett Shares His Philanthropic Philosophy - Chronicle of Philanthropy

Posted: 08 Mar 2010 09:01 AM PST

In philanthropy as in business, supporting the right people is more important than all other factors, according to the billionaire financier Warren E. Buffett.

During a panel discussion last week on antipoverty work in New Orleans, one of the world's most generous philanthropists was asked how he picks the charitable efforts he gives to.

"When I buy businesses, it's the same as investing in philanthropy. I'm looking for somebody who will get the job done and is in synch with my goals," he told the gathering of about 100 nonprofit leaders. "You can have the greatest goals in the world, but if you have the wrong people running it, it isn't going to work. On the other hand, if you've got the right person running it, almost anything is possible."

He said fund raisers should seek out donors who already have shown an interest in a specific cause.

"There are an unlimited number of good things to be done in the world, so you're probably going to have to hook up with people on the funding side who have a common goal. If you're working in education, go where the people who have shown an interest in education are," Mr. Buffett said. "Whatever your project is, find people who are already interested in that project. I wouldn't try to change people's minds as much as go where the gold already is."

As a philanthropist, Mr. Buffett is best known for giving more than $30-billion to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and supporting the philanthropic work of his three children. He also quietly gives to other groups, such as the Glide Foundation, an antipoverty charity in San Francisco. (Read The Chronicle's article about Glide.)

In New Orleans, Mr. Buffett was promoting the charity work of his friend Thomas Cousins, an Atlanta real-estate developer. Mr. Cousins helped revitalize an impoverished urban neighborhood in his hometown and is trying to export the approach to New Orleans and other cities.

Mr. Buffett has given money to help Mr. Cousins but would not disclose the amount. He did say his support for his friend's efforts mirrors his approach to philanthropy overall: Pick good people.

"When you get a chance to bet on the right person for the right project, you had better get your money down," he said of Mr. Cousins. "He had an easy sale with me because of who he is, what's he's done, the goals he has, and I'm just delighted to participate and let him do all the work."

CBC's Friedman: Red Wings' Boyer testing gear to reduce head injuries ... - MLive.com

The CBC's Elliotte Friedman discussed two Red Wings-related topics in his Monday morning column, noting that Wings' equipment manager Paul Boyer has placed the team in the GM's meetings head-shot discussion by adopting modified equipment for his players to test out...

March 8, CBC Sports: Earlier this season, Red Wings equipment manager Paul Boyer showed me some of the changes that are coming.

Several Detroit players were using shoulder and elbow pads that had soft padding covering the hard exterior shells. That's a step, for sure. It's not enough that players are bigger, faster, stronger and better conditioned than ever. They've also got body armour right out of The Hurt Locker.

And Friedman has this to say about the reasons why the Chicago Blackhawks declined to move Cristobal Huet, whose struggles played a decently large part in the Wings' 5-4 win over Chicago on Sunday:

Why did Chicago decline [to deal Huet]? Scotty Bowman believes strongly in the Detroit model: If you don't have a top-three goalie, you protect him with great team defence and puck possession. The Blackhawks – disciplined and talented – have a shot. But, to duplicate the Red Wings' success, they will have to show two things: their forwards are as committed to back pressure as Detroit's and their defensive corps is as good. As great as the Blackhawks look, we're talking Lidstrom/Rafalski/Kronwall/Stuart here. What a tough, tough call to make.

Many thanks to Kukla's for the link. Got a late start this morning.

John Locke Scribed The Keys To Liberty And Law - Investors Business Daily

Posted: 08 Mar 2010 01:55 PM PST

Until age 57, when his first book was published, John Locke did his best work away from the office.

It even might have seemed as if Locke were wasting his life.

Although he had earned a Master of Arts degree from Oxford, he wasn't a brilliant student. He studied medicine, but left school before taking his medical degree. He took menial jobs with the British government and passed up promotions.

Yet on the side, Locke (1632-1704) was coming up with ideas that would make him, according to Collier's Encyclopedia, "the intellectual ruler of the 18th century."

In the last 15 years of his life, Locke published the "Essay Concerning Human Understanding," "Two Treatises of Civil Government" and other works that changed people's attitudes in Europe and elsewhere.

Locke's ideas about freedom, law and economics are said to have fueled the American and French revolutions. His writing was the basis for the Declaration of Independence.

Locke believed the mind at birth is a tabula rasa, a clean slate, and that knowledge comes only from the senses. He developed the idea that people have natural rights of life, liberty and property.

The Listener

Locke relied on practical methods to reach the top. He preferred hands-on experience to brilliance.

If he didn't have the answers, he went out of his way to ask other people what they thought, then built his philosophy from there.

"He really profited from exchange instead of lonely meditation," said Wayne Glausser, author of "Locke and Blake: A Conversation Across the Eighteenth Century."

Locke wrote letters to the best thinkers he knew in every field, including Isaac Newton, asking them to join him to discuss topics such as health and economics.

"He really thought that good, civilized disagreement was the way to make progress in knowledge," Glausser said.

Since Locke couldn't hold meetings every hour of the day, he kept up by writing letters. His address book was filled with the names of experts in physics, biology, religion, government and education.

If he wanted to hash out a new concept, he'd put it down on paper and exchange letters about it with one of his pen pals. To open his mind, Locke would read volumes on philosophy and religion, as well as on logic and mathematics.

The son of a Puritan father, Locke was taught to value discipline. If he was puzzled by a political question, he would look to biology and medicine to find the solution. He formed some of his most important ideas about government by studying nature and thinking about humans in their "natural state" of freedom.
