IED Press is proud to present Promoting World Peace with Sociology by Bob Blain.
Trade paperback, 9×6, 43 pages, ISBN 978-1-933567-53-2,
In Weaving Golden Threads (below), Bob Blain integrated concepts from across the social sciences to demonstrate how sociology can make sense of our human world. In this pamphlet-sized condensation, Prof. Blain provides an opportunity for readers to extract the essence of that earlier work, and apply it to the greatest problem of our time: World Peace. This booklet serves as an excellent introduction to the key ideas of the science of sociology, and as well to the insights needed for humanity to find its way forward to a better future.
Rare is the person of towering intellect, but friendly spirit. Thank you for using these qualities to work for peace. Bob—a man of elegand words, enthusiasm for sociology, and love for humanity.
—Dave Kauzlarich
You have influenced my life more than any other teacher I have ever had. You changed how I interpret and respond to my world.

IED Press is proud to present One World Renaissance: Holistic Planetary Transformation Through a Global Social Contract by Glen T. Martin.
Trade paperback, 9×6, 436 pages, ISBN 978-1-933567-50-1,
Kindle, ISBN 978-1-933567-51-8.
In his previous works Ascent to Freedom (2009) and Triumph of Civilization (2010), Professor Martin articulated the fundamental principles of holism, systems theory, and authentic democracy. In his last book, Anatomy of a Sustainable World (2013), he showed the deep roots of a sustainable world system that emerge with the paradigm-shift from fragmentation to holism, a transformation in human civilization that has been going on for more than a century.
Now, in One World Renaissance, he presents the grand synthesis, showing why our predicament requires the creation of a global social contract that can only be adopted through a profound philosophic shift to holism, the same evolutionary holism that has swept all of the world's sciences. He explains why this new holism, if applied to global governance, would require a world federation under enforceable global law. Humanity can never flourish, Martin argues, unless we build a well-governed world that leaves behind our fragmented system of self-interested nation-states and global corporations bent on profit. In establishing his argument, Dr. Martin mines the thought of the world's leading philosophers and social theorists to create an unprecedented synthesis?one that goes far beyond his previous books to reveal the way forward on the basis of a united planet with immense possibilities for a future global renaissance.
Sweeps away the cloud of dust of selfishly motivated men in authority who divide the people and the nations, creating factionalism in every form of human activity. I congratulate Dr. Glen Martin for his learned, practical, and inspired effort for world unity.
—The Honorable A. P. Misra, retired Justice of the Supreme Court of India
This book is visionary and appears at a time when the speed of change and the perceived failinigs of current institutions call out for just such a vision.
—Marc Pilisuk, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Saybrook University; author of The Hidden Structure of Violence
Incredibly rich with insights, wisdom, and scholarship...this remarkable book offers profound solutions to our global predicament.
—Barbara Marx Hubbard, futurist, author of Conscious Evolution

Trade paperback, 9×6, 270 pages, ISBN 978-1-933567-47-1,
Kindle, ISBN 978-1-933567-48-8.
The Anatomy of a Sustainable World breaks new ground in the struggle for a transformed world system. This book examines the roots and the deadly consequences of our current unsustainable civilization as manifested in its war-system, nation-state system, and global economic system. Together these portend disaster for our planet — unless we make profound systemic changes.
In Ascent to Freedom (2009) and Triumph of Civilization (2010) Professor Martin articulated the fundamental principles of holism, systems theory, and authentic democracy. In this new book he shows the deep roots of a sustainable world system that emerge with the paradigm-shift from fragmentation to holism, a transformation in human civilization that has been going on for more than a century.
This new book illuminates both the roots of our present crisis and the concrete and practical steps we can take to transform civilization to sustainable principles. It does not rest in the realm of theory alone. It shows in detail what a sustainable world system looks like. It presents the specific political and economic steps we can take to make sustainability a reality.

IED Press is proud to present Weaving Golden Threads by Bob Blain.
Trade paperback, 9.66×7.44, 392 pages, ISBN 978-1-933567-32-7,
Kindle, ISBN 978-1-933567-32-7.
Unique among theory textbooks in the social sciences, Weaving Golden Threads integrates concepts from across the social sciences into an elegant tapestry of relationships, tests them with data from all the countries of the world in 1986 and 2008, applies them to personal, organizational, national and global levels, and offers two simulations for practicing their application: Cooperation: The Wealth of Nations Game, named in honor of Edward Bellamy and Adam Smith, and Instrument Panel for Spaceship Earth inspired by R. Buckminster Fuller.
By turning contending concepts into variables, Bob integrates into the same theory ideas from Thomas Hobbes, Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Georg Simmel, Emile Durkheim, Talcott Parsons, and many others.
"…a remarkable intellectual feat." T. R. Young
" … I wish I had done that." Roger Nett
"Rare is the person of towering intellect, but friendly spirit. Thank you for using these qualities to work for peace. Bob – a man of elegant words, enthusiasm for sociology, and love for humanity." Dave Kauzlarich
"The greatest gift one can give is to touch other's lives. I am grateful you touched mine. Thank you." An anonymous student
"You have influenced my life more than any other teacher I have ever had. You changed how I interpret and respond to my world." An anonymous student
As a graduate student and teaching assistant to Talcott Parsons at Harvard in the early 1960s, Bob began to recast Parsons' AGIL four function paradigm into the information-chain paradigm and theory that developed over his 40+ year career to their present form. They explain how human well-being depends on the scale of cooperation that in turn depends on: 1) reducing the information lost as people relay messages and 2) increasing people's ability to cooperate autonomously.
Now internationally published and emeritus professor of sociology, Bob did a year of graduate work at the University of Wisconsin before moving to Harvard where he received his Masters degree in sociology then his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts. He taught sociology at Ohio State University and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and has lectured on monetary reform in Australia, India, New Zealand, Poland, Libya and Togo in Africa.

IED Press is proud to present Religion in a Material Universe by Tony Equale.
Trade paperback, 9×6, 272 pages, ISBN 978-1-933567-45-7,
Kindle, ISBN 978-1-933567-46-4.
This book, Religion in a Material Universe, follows The Mystery of Matter (2010) and is an attempt to fill out the implications of the worldview developed in that study. We live in a material universe which is observed, measured and described by science. Religion cannot compete with science. It has no "facts" about another world and other kinds of beings than ours. Religion is poetry that sings about the facts of this world, and its expressions are metaphor.
The problem is that religion generally does not project its constructions as poetic metaphor but rather as scientific fact. Such an insistence is destructive not only of science, but also of the power of religious expression. A religion that calls its mythic projections "fact" stifles thought and opens itself—deservedly, in my opinion—to ridicule and rejection. But, just as importantly, it also robs myth of its power to bring light and life to our existential experience. In our modern era, the combination of an arrogant reductionist scientism and a religion that offers a set of parallel "facts" whose existence it pontificates by pure ungrounded fiat, has been fatal. We in the west live in a state of spiritual impoverishment because, in the main, religion refuses to apply its sacred song to reality as science has discovered it to be.
Author Tony Equale is retired from commercial farming and lives in SW Virginia. He is an ex-priest activist who worked in Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua from '81 to '88. He fills his retirement time volunteering with labor organizations, subsistence farming, art and writing. He blogs at tonyequale.wordpress.com.

IED Press is proud to announce the publication of A Matter of Greed by new author Arindam Mukherjee.
Cloth, 9×6, 196 pages, ISBN 978-1-933567-40-2,
Trade paperback, 9×6, pages TBA, ISBN 978-1-933567-41-9,
Kindle, ISBN 978-1-933567-42-6.
At the heart of world affairs today—at the heart of globalization and resource-conflicts and the so-called War on Terror—lies the oldest of human failings: Greed. From old colonialism to neo-colonialism and the depredations of the U.S., Mukherjee traces the common thread of unrelenting avarice that has driven exploitation of the world, its resources, and its people by the powerful, leaving in its wake shattered cultures, failed states, and the seeds of future strife.
Drawing on the finest contemporary sources including Bill Blum, Pepe Escobar, J.W. Smith, and Noam Chomsky, Mukherjee's thesis transcends previous accounts to expose the simplest of truths: that there can be only one way back from the Abyss. When Gandhi was asked, "What is the way to Peace?", he answered, "Peace IS the way." Mukherjee shows us that if Peace is the way, then Greed is the obstacle that must be removed. To pursue a new path, exploitation must give way to cooperation, and economic domination must be replaced by economic democracy. The Greed of the few must bow down to the global awakening of the many
A Matter of Greed is also available now for the Amazon Kindle.
IED Press is proud to present The Good American: A Situation Report for Citizens by B. Sidney Smith.
Trade paperback, 9×6, 88 pages, ISBN 978-1-933567-43-3,
Kindle, ISBN 978-1-933567-44-0.
In this exhaustively sourced account, mathematician B. Sidney Smith shines a stark light on every elephant in the room: out of control militarism, the rape of our economy, the propaganda that infantilizes our people and neutralizes their citizenship, and over it all the terrifying spectre of population overshoot—a disaster that is already upon us. But there is no "doom and gloom" hand-wringing here. Dr. Smith ends his account with a stirring call to action, the promise of hope and a bright future—if we but have the patriotic courage to turn aside from partisan folly, redress our errors, and shoulder once more the obligations of citizenship.
The Good American: A Situation Report for Citizens is also available now for the Amazon Kindle. You may also buy a signed copy directly from the author.

This Flash-based MP3 player is pitched as a rival for the iPod Shuffle or the Creative Zen Stone, but manages to have a style all its own.
Measuring 56 x 36 x 13mm, it incorporates a 25mm screen that is far more usable than on the Zen Stone. The controls are simple, but it's the addition of a Home button that really stands out, taking you back to the start menu.
It gets its name from the clip on the back, so you can attach it to the collar of your coat. With 1GB of space on offer - a 2GB version costs £35 (inc. VAT) - this isn't a mass storage device, but it's fine for the gym. With a dedicated volume button on the right-hand side, this is a powerful device and louder than we were expecting.

Everything you need to know about Cisco certifications
Earning Cisco certifications one of the best ways to move up the IT career ladder and get the attention of prospective employers. Many positions are actually require applications to hold one or more Cisco certs.
Wether you are trying to build the right skills to succeed on the job or need to guide your staff to the certs they need, you must first understand what areas of certification Cisco offers.
There are 4 major Cisco certification paths:
- Career Certifications
- Specialist Certification
- Business Transform Certification
- Technical Certification
Each of these areas has a certain purpose at Cisco ecosystem, so it's important to consider the skills required in each path and how they relate to your team or the job you are fulfilling. In this post we're look at 2 major areas: Career Certifications and Specialist Certification and shed light on some common features. We'll give special attention to the Cisco career ratification and the multiple track within this path, as these are the most popular certifications that candidates pursue today.
Specialist certification
Many companies build their entire business on offering Cisco products along with value-add of network integration and support. This companies are the part of Cisco Partner Program. In this program Cisco defines number of certifications and specialization categories that a partner can achieve. For example Gold Status requires organization to have at least 12 unique-certified full time employees 4 of them being CCIE certified, and at least one Business Value Practitioner. Also a Gold Member must specialize in four areas two of which (Advanced Enterprise Networks Architecture Specialization and Advanced Security Architecture Specialization) are required. There are seven specializations in total:
- Collaboration
- Data Center
- Internet of Things
- Network Programmability
- Operating System Software
- Security
This course is not recommended for pursuing until the organization becomes Cisco partner.
Career Certifications
The Cisco Career Certificates are the most well-known certification program in the industry. Of the career certificates the most popular is Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). The following diagram shows the Cisco career certification from a very high level
At the base are entry level certificates with the most wide information. It includes CCNT and CCT certificates serve as starting point for those who interested in starting a career in IT. This level introduced in two certs:
Approaching the CCT Cisco creates three different public certifications:
- CCT Routing & Switching
- CCT Telepresence
- CCT Data Center
Cisco has taken different approach to the training for CCT compared to other career certification. The course is more short, modular and online. CCT focuses primarily on specialists who want to become field support technicians. These positions require that you have some technical background (but you don't need to know much yet about networking). These are also typically supported with an experienced engineer (often directly by a central networking operations center engineer). For example, The CCT is required for filed engineers who will work with Cisco's Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers for authorized support work. Approaching the CCT Cisco creates three different public certifications:
- CCT Routing & Switching
- CCT Telepresence
- CCT Data Center
Introduced in June 2007 CCENT certification is a stepping stone to the CCNA Cert it covers topics you would expect any enter-level technician to know, including OSI model, DNS Basics, NAT, routing and router configuration. The CCENT focuses on the same experience level but with a career path that would put you into a position of supporting, configuring and troubleshooting equipment. The CCENT and the next level CCNA certification are part of Cisco's main routing and switching certification care path, which includes the CCENT, CCNA, CCNP and the CCIE. The CCENT cert includes most of the same objectives as the CCT certification and adds more focus to networking fundamentals, configuration and troubleshooting; mainly without the support of a direct senior-level engineer. The CCENT certification only requirement is a single exam Interconnected Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1).
Essentially the CCENT is more introductory and theoretical. Here is what final test covers:
- Data network operations
- Implementation of small switched network
- IP Addressing and services for small branch offices
- Realization of a small routed network
- Securing the network
- Understanding of WANs
If you already have Cisco certification you can easily skip this level, but if you don't have any Cisco Certifications the CCENT is more likely the best possible place for you to land a foot on.
As you move up to the pyramid the number of certified professionals decrease and the focus tightens.
Associate Level
As CCT and CCENT are the Entry level certifications The Association level can begin directly with CCNA for network Installation operations and troubleshooting or CCDA for network design. Cisco itself considers this level as foundation level of networking certification.
CCDA was recently updated and now covers much more in the area of modern data center and cloud technology. This certification validate the skills needed to design a secure Cisco network. It is guaranteed that CCDA certified professionals would be capable to design routed and switched network infrastructures and services involving LAN, WAN and broadband access. The exam covers the design of a basic voice, campus, security, data center and wireless networks. Earning this particular cert is a palpable first step toward thrilling and gainful career as a network designer or a network engineer.
If you split out CCNA certifications, you'll see that within this five layers there are nine unique certification track to discover. Some of the tracks have reoccurring exams, making it attractive to achieve more than one certification.
The various certification CCNA track inclose:
- Collaboration
- Cyber Ops
- Data Center
- Industrial
- Routing & Switching
- Security
- Service provider
- Wireless
Not all tracks cover same levels. For Routing and switching, Security and Wireless Individuals are starting the program by passing the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCNT) exam. The other programs stars right after passing associate level exam. Take note that all tracks have an associate level of certification but the Industrial and the Cyber Ops tracks lack of professional level
Professional Level
Achieving Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) confirms that you are hardy IT professional who has the advanced end-to-end network design expertise who ensure that network delivers up to day performance and suitability plus future-proof investments. Perfect for senior network design engineers, principle system engineers, network solution architects and CCDA certified professionals interested in moving forward upon basic Cisco network design expertise, the CCDP certification program concentrated on advanced addressing and routing protocols, WANs, services visualization and association strategies for multilayered enterprise architectures. To go ahead with CCDP certification you must have the following prerequisites: be certified at CCNA Routing & Switching or CCDA Design, you can also complete DESGN - Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solution v3.0
ICND1 v3.0 - Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 1
ICND2 v3.0 - Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 2
At the professional level participants normally have to pass five to three different exams related to a specific job role, product or technology focus, for example CCNP Cloud requires passing four exams:
- Implementing and Troubleshooting the Cisco Cloud Infrastructure (CLDINF)
- Designing the Cisco Cloud (CLDDES)
- Automating the Cisco Enterprise Cloud (CLDAUT)
- Building the Cisco Cloud with Application Centric Infrastructure (CLDACI)
Each exam focuses on a specific task that would be performed at the network for example CLDINF enables cloud support engineers to successfully build, maintain and troubleshoot cloud infrastructure at a cloud service provider. This track requires CCNA cloud certification, basic knowledge of Cisco Data center technologies and equipment plus basic knowledge of cloud computing and associated technologies.
Professional level CCNP track enclose various certifications:
- Cloud
- Collaboration
- Data Center
- Routing & Switching
- Security
- Service Provider
- Wireless
If you passionate about networking and want to make a career out of it, the CCNP Routing and Switching certification is no a-brainer. Not only will it give you a sense of accomplishment, it will make you more markable, help you earn more, and provide you an additional work security.
Expert Level
The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) is the most craved certification in the industry. This is one of highest Cisco certifications. It is also a very specific certificates which covers many design topics on hight (management) and low (technical) levels.
There is no formal preconditions for CCIE certification. Other professional certification or professional courses are not required. Instead candidates must first pass the written qualification exam and than the corresponding hands-on lab exam. You can tell that the certification is easy to get. Two exams no requirements, no configuration, but this level is very hard to obtain. It is not the hardest exam at the Cisco's portfolio but the road is not easy. The scope of the exam is enormous (going through almost all networking technologies). Candidate is expected to have an in-depth understanding of the topics of the exams and strongly encourage to have three to five years of job experience before attempting certification. In the storage networking industry you can find about 200 experts with this certification.
The CCIE track on the Expert level has 6 tracks:
- Collaboration
- Data center
- Routing & Switching
- Security
- Service provider
- Wireless
The Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) is for expert-level network design engineers. The curriculum of CCDE trains designers to develop design solutions at the infrastructure level for large customer networks. Network engineers holding an active OCDE certification are acknowledged for their expert-level experience and excellence in network infrastructure and design.
Architect Level
Beyond the CCIE there are is a rather new certification such as Cisco Certified Architect (CCAr) it is is the highest level of accreditation achievable and recognizes the architectural expertise of network designers who can support the increasingly complex networks of global organizations and effectively translate business strategies into evolutionary technical strategies. It is considered the most difficult technical certification to earn. CCAr credential indicates that you can plan and design IT infrastructure based on business strategies. There is no formal training programs available for the CCAR certification. However candidates wishing to reach CCAR certification must meet before an in-person board made of Cisco-appointed exam committee members, during which the candidate defends their proposed network solution.
To Sum up
The path through Cisco certifications is rather outright. However, within each level there are multiple different specializations and it's usual to earn certification in more than one speciality area. When choosing the best certification, most experts advise to choosing the path you are passionate about not the one which is trendy or has a highest earn potential. The job market is changing daily and becoming more competitive so choosing a certification that seems cool today, but you aren't truly engaged in, isn't necessary going to get you forward and might even backfire on you when you don't enjoy your work. Choosing an interesting track is a top care, but so is your existing knowledge, ability to commit to a program of a study and global career goals.
Cisco recommends that at minimum you should aim to achieve the CCNA Routing and Switching or CCNP Routing and Switching certifications before moving on to others, since those are providing a background of knowledge in networking technologies and more insight on which areas you may wish to specialize in going forward.

Kidz b Kidz: Art That Raises Money for Pediatric Medical Research
Kids in Boston have a blast drawing—and raising funds for sick kids—because Nancy Corderman found an innovative way to get creative while giving back.
It's four on a Friday afternoon at Hillside Elementary School in Needham, Massachusetts, and an art party is in full swing. Thirty second- and third-graders from the local Brownie troop, assisted by five high school sophomores, are drawing flowers, hearts, rainbows, peace signs and a menagerie of colorful creatures. One girl has sketched a fat orange pig, framed by the word "smile." The pictures are lighthearted, but their mission is serious. The illustrations will be used on clothing, ceramics and a line of hospital products (like cups, napkins, tray liners, bedding and scrubs) that will be sold to fund pediatric medical research.
Doling out the markers and crayons is Nancy Corderman, 49, cofounder of Kidz b Kidz (KbK), a national nonprofit organization that hosts these events in schools and hospitals. "The pictures you draw today will raise money to cure sick children tomorrow," she explains, as her partner, Jan Weinshanker, 64, shows off some of their playful goods. There are T-shirts with one-eyed monsters and kitties, baby clothes adorned with blossoms and butterflies, dinnerware painted with pandas and polka dots. All have hangtags showcasing artists' names and ages and a description of the company's mission. Every child has the opportunity to order T-shirts or bags featuring their artwork. Nancy and Jan then select designs for use on the items they sell to hospitals, schools, coffee shops and other establishments nationwide. "It's wonderful to watch their faces as they draw and begin realizing that they can make a difference in other children's lives," says Nancy.
It was Nancy and Jan's desire to do something meaningful that prompted them to start KbK in 2008 after working together for 15 years. As a home-based freelance textile designer, Nancy was hired to develop a line of tablecloths and rugs inspired by dinnerware patterns from Jan's ceramics company, Droll Designs. Though the items were profitable, "the work had no soul," Nancy says. Medical challenges during that time had them both rethinking their careers: Jan survived breast cancer, and two of Nancy's kids (Hannah, 17, and Tyler, 16) were diagnosed with significant hearing impairments as toddlers, requiring hearing aids and ongoing outpatient treatment at Children's Hospital Boston (CHB). Illness changed the women's lives but also helped them keep perspective. "It made me realize I wanted to make a difference," says Nancy. Even though she and her husband, David, 48, spent hours at a time at the hospital with their children, they always brought them home at the end of the day. "We felt sad for the families who didn't have that option."
When they began brainstorming, Jan and Nancy agreed that their do-good project should benefit kids facing catastrophic illnesses. Naturally, it should also involve art, since that was their shared passion. Their idea: an educational program to benefit patients at CHB that would host art parties in schools as well as in the hospital, to give kids a creative outlet during their stays.
Hannah, in eighth grade at the time and required to do community service, suggested her mom add a volunteer component. Older kids could build leadership skills by being role models for the younger ones, getting involved in every aspect of the parties—from planning to assisting the artists to selecting drawings and determining how they'd be used. She recruited five friends to form the Kidz b Kidz Young Entrepreneurs Club (which now has over 40 members). "It brought our concept full circle," says Nancy.
Once Nancy and Jan had filed for nonprofit status, recruited a board of directors and contracted manufacturers to mass-produce the line, KbK was ready to party. The first event took place in early November 2008, at Newman Elementary School, which Nancy's two younger kids attended at the time. They distributed flyers that said: "Imagine one day drawing a picture, and the next day having it raise money for kids with cancer! Come create with us and make a difference." Forty kids showed up, viewed a short video about a boy successfully treated for lymphoma, and colored for one and a half hours. Six of their designs were selected for the debut retail product line; additional shirts were made for the artists to sell at their school, which raised $2,000 to fund future parties. Later that month, Nancy and Jan threw another KbK art party, for the media and pediatric patients at CHB. Gary Pihl, their web designer, arranged for members of his band, Boston, to perform. A couple on the board of directors invited their son, Lee Eisenberg, former executive producer and writer for the TV comedy The Office. He brought along cast members B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling to draw with the kids. The event created such a buzz that the party was covered on Access Hollywood.
Since then KbK has held more than 200 art parties and raised $25,000. Most of the promotion has been by word of mouth. "We talk up KbK to everyone we know," says Nancy. It's an effective strategy. Alicia Sacramone, an Olympic gymnast from Winchester, Massachusetts, who is now a KbK spokesperson, volunteered to attend a party after learning about it from her dad, the Cordermans' orthodontist.
Nancy says parents love the idea of nurturing kids' empathy through artwork. And the artists and their teen mentors are profoundly affected too. Twelve-year-old Katie, who is confined to a wheelchair, is proud to see her drawing of a dancing chick on the hospital's cups and tray covers. "Hopefully this happy little chick will make other patients smile," she says. Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth, one of the teen mentors, says that working with the young artists has inspired her to become a teacher.
When Hannah heads off to college next fall, she intends to start a KbK program on campus. Tyler organized a special gallery opening at a restaurant in Boston. Eliza, 13, the family's fashionista, designs and dresses mannequins used to publicize upcoming art parties. And Henry, 11, illustrates the thank-you notes that KbK sends to guests and donors. Since the business is home-based, the Corderman kids get a firsthand look at what goes into building a nonprofit. And their mom gets to balance parenting and philanthropy. Despite the long hours, "we never feel exhausted, because the work is so rewarding," Nancy says.
Of course, there are challenges. Donations are tougher to come by in this economy. Nancy and David have put some of their savings into operating costs, and occasionally Jan and Nancy must take on extra design jobs to supplement their income. They've also had to be innovative about expanding beyond Boston. Schools and organizations throughout the U.S. have shown interest in hosting art parties, but "we can't be everywhere," Nancy says. Thanks to a new initiative, anyone in the country can now download a free step-by-step fundraising manual from KidzbKidz.org, with guidelines on running art parties in their own communities to benefit pediatric research and KbK educational programs.
Powered by kids and mentored by adults, KbK gets children thinking beyond themselves. "We encourage them to use their artful hands and generous hearts to make a difference," says Nancy, who hopes the compassion lasts a lifetime. "We really do believe that you can change the world, one masterpiece at a time."
Party with a Purpose
At your next birthday celebration, Bar or Bat Mitzvah or sweet sixteen, set up a table with art supplies and information about the program and encourage partygoers to draw for the cause. Then upload the artwork to the online gallery, where friends can buy souvenir shirts featuring their creations. For more information, go to KidzbKidz.org.

digital literacy - spring 2008
(update feb 12: added readings for guest speaker bryan alexander)
(update jul 16: see nearly 500 pics on flickr)
as i mentioned yesterday, i'm teaching two courses this spring. my second class meets tuesday and thursday evenings and is called digital literacy.
each semester, USF offers one "davies forum," an honors-level seminar devoted to a timely and important topic of a selected professor's choosing. my proposal titled "digital literacy" was selected for spring 08. in addition to attracting some of USF's smartest and most creative students, davies forum are cool because they come with a healthy budget. as a result, ten guest speakers will visit USF and share their ideas, projects, questions, and curiosities about literacy in a digital age. plus, we'll have at least three field trips. i am supremely excited to teach this course and give lots of thanks to all who contributed to its design.
here's the syllabus (and here it is as a word document).
Davies Forum: Digital Literacy
Professor David Silver
Class Times: Tues, Thurs, 6:15pm - 8:00pm | Cowell 114
Office Hours: Tues, Thurs, 2-3; and by appointment | UC 539
Course Description:
Facebook and Fox News, tivo and TV, youtube and yahoo, books and blogs, ipods, iphones, itunes, ieverything – we are pretty much swimming in information. How do we navigate through it all? How do we find the good stuff? And which kinds of information should we use for which kinds of research and creative projects?
At the same time, information, it seems, is changing before our eyes. Today, in our Web 2.0 world, information is often something we both consume and produce. What does it mean, and what possibilities are opened up, when we can add to and annotate, comment on and contribute?
In Digital Literacy we will explain what literacy means – and can mean – in a digital age, our age. We will read, write, and reflect. We will design, create, and construct. We will participate, contribute, and collaborate.
Learning Goals:
Upon course completion, Davies Scholars will learn:
1. How to navigate, evaluate, cite, and contribute to existing knowledge;
2. How to construct and manage a creative, collaborative, and responsible digital identity; and
3. How to collaborate (preferably effectively and creatively) with others.
Required Texts:
* Jane Jacobs, Death and Life of Great American Cities (Random House, 1961)
* Henry Jenkins, Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide (NYU Press, 2006)
* Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art (Harper, 1994)
* A one-year Flickr pro account subscription, $24.95
* You are required to make, purchase, or barter for a bound, paper-based journal.
(A Note about Reading: The schedule below offers a rough outline of what we will read and discuss throughout the semester. Please, however, be aware that you will be reading much more. Much of your reading (and viewing and listening) for this course will be a product of your own library and online research, tailored toward topics that interest you.)
(A Second Note about Reading: Nearly every Thursday evening we will host guest speakers. In the cases when guest speakers have blogs, you are required to spend a significant time with their blog prior to their campus visit. This does not mean visiting the blog for 2-3 minutes. This means spending a few hours reading the blog, becoming acquainted with some of the blogger's key themes, following various discussions via readers' comments, tracing threads through tags, ets.)

Funny how I met you (I am sure you don't remember--Terry Brooks class, Winter 2006) at a similar class at the UW where you were a guest speaker. Ours was not near as ambitious, but also exciting.
- 11:31 AM, January 24, 2008
- david silver said...
Srcsmgrl - you know, we've been conversing for a few years now via our blogs and comments and i never knew how we met. i knew you were in seattle, i knew you were in ballard, and i knew you were a librarian, but i never knew we met face to face.
i enjoyed being a small part of terry's class and got a lot of ideas from his class to bring towards mine. i just added a lot of funky stuff. =)
- 2:31 PM, January 24, 2008
- srcsmgrl said...
I am sure that Terry would be flattered to hear that. I loved all the classes he taught--but that one was like dessert. Yours sounds even cooler--my ambitious side wants to try to read the articles you have assigned your students, but my practical side knows I don't have enough hours in the day to do it. Can you recommend one or two to me that would really hit the spot?

David Silver, what an amazing class! My students loved the excerpt from Jenkins' book last semester: it's on the roster for my fall course. You are doing some awesome stuff and I am so excited that you are inviting librarians to talk to your group! Keep us posted.
May our paths cross soon!
- 11:17 AM, January 25, 2008
Your colleagues also benefit from these posts not only because we get important information about what others in the dept are teaching, but also because the links to readings allow us to grapple with some of the course materials. Surely you should lead a Faculty Development lunch session on teaching, collegiality & blogging, accompanied perhaps by Brother Robertson and myself...
- 11:32 AM, January 25, 2008
- david silver said...
srcsmgrl - one or two?!? impossible! seriously, in my mind, all of the readings are pretty much connected and build upon and converse with each other. they are inseparable! why don't you try to read at least one reading each week? some of the readings are very short and totally inspirational: consider reading "100 ideas" this week.
sheck! which excerpt/chapter from jenkins did you assign? yeah, i figure that librarians have a lot to say and teach and learn and contribute when it comes to literacy and digital literacy. =) there's a lot of USF librarians working on this class, too.

andrew - thanks.
i love the idea of a faculty development session on teaching, collegiality, and blogging with you and michael, especially if it includes a free lunch. =)

Thank you for the recommended readings. I usually teach Digital Literacy to primary and secondary school teachers. Greetings from Madrid.

thank you, tiscar, for your comment, and please say hello to madrid for me! i am curious to see what a digital literacy syllabus for primary and secondary levels looks like.

Boy Silver. I suggested to some pals that we try to read along as the semester moves. The readings draw; they do not repel! Mr. Seniority is pleased. (Mr. Seniority is not like you and me. He has *seniority.*)

What an incredible course! I wish I worked on the main campus so I could attend the accompanying lecture series. David, I hope you will come to my noon faculty tech talk about SecondLife.

- david silver said...
riven - i'll be there for the second life talk! CIT has put together an excellent set of lunch-time talks and yours is one of them that i signed up for.
as for attending the digital literacy talks, i hope you will be able to make one of them! it would make for an interesting cross-campus conversation.

Hi David,
I'm Raymond, an Information/Library Science student in Los Angeles. Will any of these "Digital Literacy" meetings be recorded and archived? (Or uploaded into YouTube or something like that?) Got a hunch my classmates (and maybe some co-workers) would be VERY interested. I would REALLY appreciate a response via email and THANK YOU in advance! :)

Gayla Trail and Karen Schneider in one class? It's like you're in my brain. Amazing ideas- do you lecture?
Jaime Hammond
- 12:17 PM, April 28, 2008
hey jaime - thanks!
i agree, having Gayla Trail and Karen Schneider on the same syllabus makes me happy. so do topics as seemingly diverse as farming and facebook.
when you ask do i lecture, i assume you are asking whether i lecture in the class, right? in general, no - class is run as a seminar with seven students and i sharing our ideas and insights with one another. the only time formal lectures come into play is with the guest lecturers.

Hi David,
No, I meant at conferences! I was just fascinated by your approach to digital literacy. Email me if you want!

Anderson takes second in U.S. Open slopestyle
VAIL, Colo. – Mark McMorris of Canada has won the men's slopestyle competition in snowy conditions at the U.S. Open snowboarding championships.
McMorris held off Norway's Torstein Horgmo on Friday as the competition moved out west to Vail, Colo., this season after a 30-year run in Vermont. Chas Guldemond of Reno, Nev., finished third.
With the weather conditions steadily deteriorating for the women's competition, the athletes and organizers elected to cancel the event. Spencer O'Brien of Canada was awarded top honors as a result of turning in the best run during the semifinals. Jamie Anderson of South Lake Tahoe, Calif., was second.
Anderson, who took home a $20,000 prize, said it became obvious during practice runs Friday that competing would be dangerous. She said at the beginning of practice, the girls "could almost clear the jumps," but conditions quickly deteriorated.
The weather cleared up Saturday in time fro Shaun White to defended his title at the U.S. Open snowboarding championships. He easily won the competition with a flawless performance through a sun-splashed halfpipe
White went big in his opening run, holding little back, and only got better on his second pass when he turned in the high score of 95.58 points. Japanese teenager Ayumu Hirano finished second and Louie Vito of Sandy, Utah, took third.
Kelly Clark won the women's competition on Saturday. It marked her her sixth halfpipe title, the most in the history of the competition.
Clark's electric opening run earned a score of 84.45 points and she edged Hannah Teter by 2.32. Arielle Gold, an up-and-coming 16-year-old from Steamboat Springs, Colo., finished third.

Towson, MD – The fourth seeded United States Merchant Marine Academy Mariners (9-7, 3-3 Landmark) upset the top ranked Gophers of Goucher College (8-8, 6-0 Landmark) by a score of 6-5 Wednesday night in Towson, MD.
Goucher, who has won two of the last three Landmark Conference Champions failed to reach the finals for the first time since 2009, the last time Merchant Marine took home the Landmark crown.
The win marks USMMA's first win over the Gophers since joining the Landmark Conference in 2008.
The first half of the contest was a defensive struggle culminating in a total of four goals being scored.
Merchant Marine got on the board first at the 7:15 mark as sophomore midfielder Troy Smith (Deer Park, TX) fired a rocket past Goucher's goalkeeper. Less than two minutes later, Dylan Zook responded for the Gophers as the two teams took a 1-1 tie into the second quarter.
The Mariners were able to keep Goucher off the scoreboard in the second frame, netting a goal from junior defenseman Alex Cline (Draper, UT) and a last minute score from senior midfielder Joseph Purcell (Mineola, NY) to head into the break with a 3-1 advantage.
USMMA's offense exploded in the third quarter, extending their run with a goal from Mariners' leading-scorer, sophomore attacker Geoff Harty (Chicago, IL), and a pair of tallies by senior attacker Michael Ackerman (Malvern, PA) to extend the Mariner advantage to 6-1.
A costly Merchant Marine penalty late in the frame allowed Goucher to convert on a man-up opportunity with 2:39 remaining in the quarter as USMMA took a 6-2 lead into the fourth.
The Gophers came out strong in the final frame, showing why they hadn't dropped a conference matchup all season. Goucher notched the first three goals of the quarter to slice the Mariner advantage to a single goal, 6-5, with 5:07 remaining.
Merchant Marine was able to buckle down defensively for the remainder of the contest as they hung on by the slimmest of margins.
Despite being outshot heavily, 45-26, the Mariners were able to make the most of their opportunities and convert on quality chances.
Freshman goalkeeper Kevin Young (Springfield, VA) made a career-high 23 saves as he improved his record to 4-1 since taking over the starting goalkeeping duties.
Ackerman had a team-high three points (2G, 1A) including the game winning goal to lead the Mariners in scoring. Senior midfielder Sean Sheehy (Annapolis, MD) and junior midfielder Phil Walker (East Falmouth, MA) each collected a team-high three groundballs apiece.
Pierce Ingram led the Gophers in scoring with two goals and two assists and Tristan Morris had a game-high six groundballs for Goucher.
Connor Mishaw took the loss in net making nine saves on 15 Mariner shots on goal.
USMMA will head to Selinsgrove, PA to face the number three seeded Susquehanna University Crusaders (11-6, 5-2 Landmark) in the Landmark Conference Finals Saturday, May 4 at 5:00 PM.
This marks the first time in Landmark Conference history the three and four seeds will meet in the finals as no seed lower than two has previously won the conference championship.

In English
Cholesterol absorption inhibitors lower the
amount of cholesterol that your body absorbs. So your blood has lower total
cholesterol and lower
LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Cholesterol absorption inhibitors are
used to treat high cholesterol in people who cannot take a statin. This medicine lowers total cholesterol and LDL
(bad) cholesterol.
This medicine is used along with lifestyle
changes including diet and exercise to lower cholesterol.
Ezetimibe (Zetia) lowers total
cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in people who have high cholesterol. This medicine can improve cholesterol levels, but it has not been proved to lower the risk of a heart attack or a stroke.
A drug that combines ezetimibe and simvastatin (Vytorin) lowers total
cholesterol and LDL levels. But taking Vytorin may
not limit hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) any better than the statin medicine
alone. But the combination of
ezetimibe and simvastatin can lower LDL levels more than simvastatin
alone.footnote 1
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor all of
the medicines you are taking, including
over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, or supplements.
A heart-healthy lifestyle is important for lowering your risk whether you take medicine or not. This includes eating healthy foods, being active, staying at a healthy weight, and not smoking.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. If you need to take this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
If you are breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using ezetimibe. Do not use ezetimibe and a statin if you are breastfeeding.
You will have regular doctor
visits and tests to check your cholesterol level and to check for side effects.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

|Literacy Teacher
When are books due?
Library books are due the day BEFORE your class comes to the library.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email me at email@example.com or call 505-296-5655 ext. 25037! You can help me shelve and mend books, work at a Book Fair, etc. I would love to have you be part of the exciting things happening at our library!
One school,one book
This year's book will be revealed soon!
Battle of the books
Welcome to the Library
My name is Esther Cross and I am the new librarian at Chelwood. I am very excited to be able to show our students how to access information in a variety of ways! Libraries are a great place to find your next favorite book, but they are so much more than that.
This year we will:
- Find specific books in the library.
- Find other resources through online catalogs and databases.
- Learn Digital Citizenship (how to be safe and ethical when using the Internet).
- Read award winning and recommended titles in children's literature.
- Host 3 Scholastic Book Fairs to raise money for the library.
- Compete in Battle of the Books.
- Bring our community together through One School One Book.
- Integrate National School Library Standards, the new English Language Arts curriculum, and Common Core State Standards.
- And much more!
My goal is that every student will feel safe and welcome in the library, and that they will learn skills that can be applied in any library they have the opportunity to use, whether that be their high school, university or public library. Each student has their own unique interests and learning styles, and I hope that each child will find resources to spark their curiosity!
