Thank you, Mr. Rockefeller!

Huh! They don't call me Rockefeller, you know.

Think of the Empire State Building, the Rockefeller Center.

And then, of course, there was John D. Rockefeller.

With money like Rockefeller and shoulders like Johnny Weissmuller.

Offer two. Your offer for Rockefeller Center is accepted.

45 UNDP, Making Global Trade Work for People (United Nations Development Programme, Heinrich Böll Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, The Rockefeller Foundation and Wallace Global Fund.

Like the Rockefeller Center model, which is kind of from another era.

The well equipped building was financed by grants from the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Bros. Fund.

The Rockefeller Foundation also supported the Conference apos s preparatory process, through a grant made to UNFPA.

DR Yeah. His initials are JS, and he owns Rockefeller Center, if that helps anyone volunteered to help.

And in fact they weren't. They were reinventing charity in those times, what Rockefeller called the business of benevolence.

One woman I knew who was a fellow at a program that I ran at the Rockefeller Foundation was named Ingrid Washinawatok.

But I am seeing in the major funders, in CARE, Rockefeller, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Hewlett, Mercy Corps, you guys, Google, so many other organizations, a beginning of understanding that we need to work not just on primary prevention of global warming, but on the secondary prevention of the consequences of global warming on the poorest and the most vulnerable.

But what's really amazing is that Ida Tarbell, the journalist, went in and did a big exposé of Rockefeller and actually got the whole antitrust laws put in place.

That's the same Charles Lindbergh who actually spent the rest of his life working with Alexis at the Rockefeller Institute in New York in the area of the culture of organs.

Oxfam and Swiss Re, together with Rockefeller Foundation, are helping farmers like this one build hillside terraces and find other ways to conserve water, but they're also providing for insurance when the droughts do come.

See Patricia W. Ingraham and Donald P. Moynihan, Beyond measurement measuring for results in State Government , in Task Force on Performance Management and Measurement, R. Nathan and D. Forsythe, eds. (New York, New York, Rockefeller Institute, 2001).

And this was Maurice Wilkins. He was trained as a physicist, and after the war he wanted to do biophysics, and he picked DNA because DNA had been determined at the Rockefeller Institute to possibly be the genetic molecules on the chromosomes.

If you look back in history, Charles Lindbergh, who was better known for flying airplanes, was actually one of the first people along with Alexis Carrel, one of the Nobel Laureates from Rockefeller, to begin to think about, could you culture organs?

In addition, parallel funding has been received from the Canadian International Development Agency ( 320,000), the Government of Cameroon ( 170,000), the International Development Research Centre ( 400,000), the International Telecommunication Union ( 1.2 million), the Japan International Cooperation Agency ( 1.11 million) and the Rockefeller Foundation ( 157,000).

Japanese financiers bought up pricey trophy properties like Rockefeller Center in New York and the Pebble Beach Golf Club in California, and then had to sell later at rock bottom prices. These investment failures have been great for Americans, who owe a lot less to foreigners than they would otherwise.

So this is the preparation that one of my former post docs, Gaby Maimon, who's now at Rockefeller, developed, and it's basically a flight simulator but under conditions where you actually can stick an electrode in the brain of the fly and record from a genetically identified neuron in the fly's brain.

Coincidentally, Kahneman s article appeared the same week that Buffett announced the largest philanthropic donation in US history 30 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and another 7 billion to other charitable foundations. Even when the donations made by Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller are adjusted for inflation, Buffett s is greater.

The main input by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to the preparatory process involved symposia, co sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation, on habitat and population linkages and internal migration and urbanization in developing countries implications for Habitat II. UNFPA also made a financial contribution to the Habitat II secretariat to support one staff position for the Habitat II preparatory process.
