The use and implication of Open Educational Resources
What makes a university great? In 2002 MIT decided that it was not the educational resources they shared with their students with, but the quality of interactions between students and their teachers, so made a foray into distance education by starting to put their course materials online so as to provide access to quality educational materials for anyone who wanted to access them. This was the beginning of the Open Educational Resources (OER)movement. At the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunis in 2005 an initiative was launched in a partnership between the Development Gateway Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to connect anyone with Internet access and the desire to learn to a world of free, high-quality open educational materials. The Development Gateway Foundation's "Open Educational Resources" portal aimed to equalize access to education and help people in developing countries improve their chances for a better life. OER are now available from a multitude of universities across the world and, with the introduction of iTunesU, there are no shortage of materials in a range of multi-modal formats available on almost any academic subject you care to choose.
Cisco has also supported a number of open educational resources through the Cisco Networking Academy, in which all its content is made freely available to registered Academies across the world, and through some of its social investments in education including hairdressing resources for Africa and the global programme, Teachers without Borders.
For developing countries the opportunity to obtain free, quality resources can only be beneficial, but if it is the collaboration and instruction on such resources that provides the maximum value, then universities and other educational institutions accessing OER need to ensure that they are able to support students effectively. Additionally such resources may need customisation and localisation, as the style and mode in which they are presented may not be appropriate to another culture. Infrastructure constraints and insufficient bandwidth may also need to be addressed so that media-rich content can be streamed and stored.
There are additional tensions around the provision of OER as overseas students are lucrative sources of funds for universities. Why would universities in the developed world help those universities in the developing world by providing support for improving teaching quality and help those universities to become more proficient and economically viable through dual-teaching and mentoring using OER? Why would they help find opportunities to keep the brightest brains in country to teach the next generation? Why would they encourage students to study overseas and risk perpetuating the brain drain which is hitting continents like Africa particularly hard?
If OER is to benefit those less fortunate or unable to benefit from an education at the leading universities of the world, then there needs to be a willingness to support developing world universities, access to all resources needs to be affordable, and adaptation of OER may often need to be undertaken to make sure that:
resources are culturally, pedagogically and technologically aligned
the language of instruction is appropriate
assessment models associated with OER are robust
links are made with books and other media
OER resources are accessible on low cost and low power access devices
there is an ability to partnering with radio and TV stations for either podcasting, broadcasting or both
With the multitude of collaboration tools available today, an effective way for universities across the world to work together will emerge which will result in a win-win situation for all.

I've often fantasized about becoming an entrepreneur. It's an easy thing for someone who works in the corporate world to do. I made a halfway move: I'm a consultant. I don't really live 'in' the world that my corporate colleagues do, but I do physically sit in the same place and enjoy the same pleasant fluorescent-filled days they do. But you'll find in this corporate world that many employees dream of a future, full of boss-less days, exciting work and endless financial rewards. Here's a wakeup call.
If you are an entrepreneur, nothing will stop you. I had friends in college (and in high school) who were entrepreneurs. They not only didn't want to take a job while they built a business – they NEVER wanted a job. The very idea of a job was antithetical to the way they thought. I have relatives like this, too. They would rather live in a dump than take a 'job'. They might work at at gas station for a while, or a temp job, just to put a roof over their heads. But they never, ever would engage in the kind of corporate jobs many people accept for granted. They wouldn't give up the time when they could be building a business to sit in a cubicle and wait.
That's not an indictment of corporate employment. It works for some people. But I don't like the idea that within ever corporate employee there's an entrepreneur waiting to bust out. That's possible, but not likely. Most of the entrepreneurs I've known were uncontrollable maniacs – they had to get out there and build something. They were never going to settle for sitting at a desk.
It's hard to admit what you are, sometimes. I wasn't an employee – that was an easy admission for me to make, after I made the switch. What was tough for me was admitting that, other than my side income through my blog, I wasn't an entrepreneur. I'm not. It's not my skill set – I'm technically savvy but I'm a terrible marketer and salesperson. If you want to be an entrepreneur, you'll do it as soon as you have 30 days' worth of rent money saved up. You'll be ready for the risk. If you don't? You're still a good person, but you're probably better off leaving the business-building to someone else, and concentrating on your job.

In 2014, India saw the highest growth globally for app downloads and is ranked third on Google Play. Needless to say, if you're looking to satiate this growing hunger for apps, you need to look towards emerging markets.
This explosive growth in app downloads can surely be attributed to the growing adoption of smartphones in these markets. However, even if you get smartphone users in emerging markets to download apps, you will not be able to monetize from these apps. With the lack of a strong payment ecosystem and lower credit card penetration, smartphone users in these markets prefer to download free apps.
However, ironically it is these emerging markets that are today driving the global mobile 'apponomy'. How is this happening? The answer is: in-app advertising.
According to a recent joint study by App Annie and IDC titled 'Mobile App Advertising and Monetization Trends 2013-2018', in-app advertising (banner ads, video ads, etc.) and freemium (free download with in-app purchases) drove a major share of mobile app revenue between 2013 to 2014. Much of this revenue came from countries such as Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK and US, between 2013 to 2014.
While in-app ad revenues witnessed a 71% increase in 2014 over 2013, freemium saw a 72% rise in revenues. As opposed to this, paid (paid download with no in-app purchases) and paidmium (paid download with in-app purchases) saw a 19% and 24% drop in revenues respectively. (Refer to graph: Indexed Mobile App Revenue)
Developers are increasingly preferring to go with in-app advertising because the app can be offered to smartphone users for free. However, the developer can still make money from the app as in-app advertising ensures a continuous revenue stream.
We know that emerging markets are driving much of this in-app advertising revenue. However, it is the sheer magnitude of the revenue from in-app advertising vis-à-vis paid apps in these markets that should come as a surprise.
For instance, mobile app revenue from India in 2014 almost doubled that in 2013. However, over 70% of this app revenue came from in-app advertising. In comparison, in-app ads contributed to less than 20% of the mobile app revenue in countries such as Japan.
It is also estimated that in-app advertising revenue will pass each type of PC and mobile web-based ad revenue by 2018. If publishers want to ride this swelling mobile app revenue wave in emerging markets, in-app advertising is the way to go.

America's shale energy revolution is another Ponzi fraud
Much has been said about the proven environmental costs of
injecting millions of gallons of ultra-toxic chemicals into shale
and fracturing the gas free, how it often contaminates underground
water aquifers and can induce earthquakes. Little however has been
said of the fact that the costs and economics of shale gas in the
USA are actually negative.
In reality it is becoming increasingly clear that the shale
revolution is a new Ponzi fraud, carefully built with the aid of
the same Wall Street banks and their "market analyst" friends, who
brought us the 2002-2007 US real estate securitization
The USA shale gas boom took off after Dick Cheney and friends managed to win a major loophole in new energy legislation in 2005 exempting the oil and gas industry from the Clean Water Act, the only exempt industry. With soaring US gas prices, and no environmental restraint, shale gas extraction ballooned fourfold from 2007, the first year data was tracked, to 2011, to comprise almost 40% of total dry natural gas extraction in the USA that year. In 2002 shale gas was a mere 3% of total gas.
What few outside the industry knew was that the dynamics of the
complex shale formations led to dramatic initial gas volumes
followed by even more dramatic declines. Shale Gas, unlike
conventional gas, depletes dramatically faster owing to its
specific geological location. It diffuses and becomes impossible to
extract without the drilling of costly new wells.
The key shale gas players and the Wall Street bankers backing
the shale boom have grossly inflated the volumes of recoverable
shale gas reserves and hence its expected duration. Independent
conservative estimates are that recoverable shale gas is about half
what the industry claims on its financial statements. In brief, the
gas producers have built the illusion that their unconventional and
increasingly costly shale gas will last for decades.
Real well extraction data are now available that show shale gas wells decline at an exponential rate, and will run out far faster than being hyped. This has already led to a fire sale of newly-bought shale gas leases by the major players to Chinese, Japanese, French and other gullible foreign energy investors to buy their future reserves, a sure sign of trouble. In 2012, USA shale gas operators poured $40 billion into drilling 7,000 shale gas wells. But the value of all shale gas produced that year was a mere $32.5 billion. Oops…
A sign of the end of the short-lived shale gas bubble is
Chesapeake Energy the premier shale gas exploiter. Its stock shares
fell from $80 in 2008 to just above $20. It's selling shale assets
to pay down debt and its debt is rated "junk." As one industry
analyst puts it, having America's second largest natural gas
producer almost completely walk away from the shale gas business is
a great indication that today's natural gas price bubble is on the
verge of popping. Aubrey McClendon, Chesapeake founder has been
forced to resign on April 1 under heat of an SEC

Singer Nick Lachey was kicked out of a football game on Sunday after allegedly trash-talking the opposing team.
Lachey was sitting in the stands at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego watching the Cincinnati Bengals triumph over the San Diego Chargers when he became a little too rowdy and had to be escorted out of the venue.
But it appears the new dad didn't mind being booted from the match – taking to Twitter.com to recount his evening and boast about the big win in a series of posts, he wrote, "Just got kicked out of the chargers stadium and couldn't be prouder!
"Go Cincy Bengals… Bengals win again. i'd talk trash to everyone in SD, but what's the point? you already had me kicked out of the stadium and you still lost… Majority of charger fans were awesome yesterday, thanks for the hospitality! Sadly, there is always one guy that ruins it for everyone."
Lachey isn't the only star who has been escorted from his seat at a sporting event this year – "Modern Family" actor Eric Stonestreet was reportedly reprimanded at a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game in September after allegedly becoming embroiled in a heated argument with a rival fan.
Stonestreet was cheering on his home team against the St. Louis Cardinals when he appeared to take offense to a man heckling a Dodgers player.
Video footage of the incident, obtained by TMZ.com, showed the pair exchanging words before security guards arrived on the scene and asked them both to leave their seats. Stonestreet insists he was not kicked out of the stadium.

|Oven Braised Brisket
Slow Braised Oven BrisketAn oven braised beef brisket is a great way to get a lot of meat for little effort. Of course, you don't necessarily need to buy a 10 pound brisket like I did, but if you do, you'll have plenty of meat to put up in the freezer for other meals. This method works on any size brisket and you'll need about one hour per pound.
Not being one who has made brisket in the past, I do apologize to any brisket purists out there, since I most certainly new to the brisket experience, but I think that what I got was the untrimmed brisket with all of the fat attached. This produces a lot - and I mean A LOT - of residual fat which provides for a very tender brisket, but also means that you really do not need to start with a lot of braising liquid. If you have a trimmed cut, which I believe may be called "first cut," then you would probably want to increase the beef stock to 2 cups.
Make sure that your pan has a good fitting lid or wrap it tightly with aluminum foil, so that the brisket slowly braises. You don't want any steam to escape. The braising produces a wonderfully tender piece of meat - reminded me much of my pot roast that I do with chuck in fact, because it pretty much just falls apart, so slicing against the grain isn't really gonna happen here. I'm glad that I gave it a try though - the carnivore hubs has not stopped talking about it. That'll make a woman real proud, I tell ya!
I am told this is more of a "Jewish" style brisket than say a "Texas" style brisket - but to me, this is a perfectly simple and delicious braised beef that I know you'll love. Since I went with a huge brisket, mine finished up just after midnight last night after it cooked virtually all day, so I was a bit tired when I took it out and totally forgot to snap a picture of the whole brisket when I took it out of the oven. What you see up there is a picture of a single serving reheated, since I made this yesterday for today (New Year's Day), and below, a super large Tupperware container filled with the just sliced meat and the pan sauce poured over it, which pretty much looks like a big gorgeous blob of meat!
This with the rest of our New Year's Day meal of black-eyed peas, corned beef and cabbage and cornbread makes for some pretty darned good eatin' folks. Heck, I might even cook up some greens too ... just for good measure! I can use all the good health, good luck and good fortune that there is out there.
Wondering what to do with the leftovers? Try this meat sauce and pasta dish. It is delicious!
For more of my beef roast recipes, visit my page on Pinterest!
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Recipe: Slow Braised Oven Brisket©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 8 to 10 hours | Yield: About 10 to 12 servings+
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (6 to 10-pound) beef brisket
- 1 pound carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 4 ribs celery, cut into 3-inch chunks
- 3 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, quartered
- 1 (32 ounce) carton beef stock or broth
- 1 (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 tablespoons of dried parsley
- 5 large bay leaves
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mash together the garlic, salt, and rosemary together until a paste forms. Add 2 tablespoon of olive oil and mix well; set aside. Season both sides of the brisket with plenty of salt and pepper. Rub the rosemary-garlic paste all over the brisket. Drizzle lightly with additional olive oil.
Sear the brisket in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat on the stove, to form a nice brown crust on both sides, adding additional oil to the pan as needed to prevent sticking. Remove from heat, scatter the vegetables all around the brisket, adding the beef stock, and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle with parsley, and scatter the bay leaves around the brisket.
Cover the pan tightly with a lid or several layers of aluminum foil and bake at 325 degrees F for roughly 1 hour per pound, or until fork tender, basting with the pan juices occasionally. Check temperature with an instant read thermometer. Remove the brisket from pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 15 minutes.
Scoop out all of the vegetables from the pan with a slotted spoon and discard. Spoon excess fat off of the top of the pan drippings or use a gravy separator, pour off the pan juices to separate all of the fat. Return about 1 cup of stock to the roasting pan, set it over medium high heat and let cook until reduced to about one half. Pour over the brisket to serve. If you would like to thicken, mix 1 tablespoon flour with 2 tablespoons water and quickly whisk that into the hot pan juices.
Cook's Notes: I used a 10 pound brisket and cooked mine for the full 10 hours. May also substitute tomato juice (like V-8) for the beef broth and omit the tomatoes.

Friday, November 11, 2011 - Wank in the Woods 2011
Part 3 of Wank In The Woods 2011 features no fewer than 9 models, Ruslan Tarovsky, Honza Copak, Mattias Solich, Rado Zuska, Jan Pribyla, Paul Fresh, Rado Princ, Zdenek Zimola and Yuri Bulakov. Things get started when the guys arrive at a camp fire site, all naked. Rado Zuska chops some more wood as Jan Pribyla sets to work lighting the fire. Beers are also handed around to refresh the guys, and the barbecue is set up ready for cooking some food. Dmitry and Rado Z also start to cook some food over the fire as everyone sits around drinking. As they wait for the food to cook Rado Z and Rado P decide on a little fun and start to spray beer on the other, who return fire very quickly. The guys frolic around spraying each other and laughing as they do it, then they gather around the fire again. Honza, Mattias and Rado Z are feeling more than a little frisky and start kissing each other. The other guys see this and start to play as well. Paul Fresh relishes waving his big dick for everyone to see. The guys seem to split naturally into groups of three, groping each other, kissing and sucking. The beer seems to have had an effect on them too as they gather round the fire to piss. Then they get back to the action, with Yuri sitting on Rado P's big hard cock while Honza sucks on ...

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Ruslan Tarovsky, Honza Copak, Mattias Solich, Rado Zuska, Jan Pribyla, Paul Fresh, Rado Princ, Zdenek Zimola and Yuri Bulakov continue in Wank In The Woods 2011. This is the 4th part, which carries on from the change of positions right at the end of part 3. Paul Fresh is fucking Zdenek Zimola while Jan is fucking Yuri and Mattias is being plowed nice and deep by Rado Z. There is lots of moaning as the cocks go deep into their hot asses. Honza, Ruslan Tarovsky and Rado P keep busy at the same time, wanking themselves and being sucked by the bottoms.
Zdenek really enjoys Paul's big dick up his ass and is rock hard as he is taking it. The same applies to Yuri who is wanking his throbbing cock as Jan plows him. Yuri loves the action sucks on Rado P while Jan keeps ramming his ass. The guys change positions again, this time with Mattias sitting on Paul's hard cock, while Rado P fucks Zdenek who in turn is fucking Yuri. Honza also gets a turn, with his big cock deep fucking Rado Z who sucks on Jan as his ass is being well fucked. The action is truly hot as everyone is involved, Ruslan Tarovsky loves the threeway action with Rado P, Zdenek and Yuri and leans over to suck on Yuri's cock. But he want even more, so Rado Z fucks his tight ass and Jan takes a turn in Honza's hole. The guys are getting close now, as they huddle around Rado P while he fucks Mattias and Paul fucks Rado Z wanking themselves furiously. Mattias is the first to blow, his creamy load landing on his leg, as Rado P is deep in his ass. Rado P pulls out and cums over Mattias, then Ruslan Tarovsky drops his load on him too. Next is Rado Z, he cums a big load while Paul is fucking him. Then he kisses the already spent Mattias. Yuri then blows his load and Ruslan Tarovsky wanks his cock to get the last of the cum out of it. Paul is next, and shoots all over Rado Z, followed quickly by Jan and Honza. The final cumshot is Zdenek who blows over Mattias. Fully sated the guys kiss each other and all snuggle up together to sleep off their exertions which brings a really great Wank In The Woods to and end.

Last night, the weather in Prague turned dramatically colder. Today was the first time I felt I needed to wear gloves. This afternoon, I asked Pavel Nikos: "When will it get warmer again?" His answer:
"Spring!" Oh, well. Seems like the lovely Indian Summer was just yesterday.
My Teaser Backstage tonight is Honza Forst Deflowered. It took me a long time to schedule this shoot. I really, really like Honza Forst. He is one of those 'you can fuck me, but don't you dare try to kiss me' guys. Miro rooted him with toys twice, in his solo shoot and in an ambush massage. I told Boris I must work more with him. Boris replied, 'he doesn't want to do any more work.' I replied, 'No is not an option.' Somehow, Boris worked his magic and Honza agreed to do a BrokeCzechGuys. I said it was fine if he doesn't do anything but get sucked and fucked. Apparently, this was not good enough for Boris, and he persuaded Honza to do the entire nine yards. Great scene. We brought in Ivan Cakovsky as the 'ringer' to service Honza. Half way thru the shoot, after being thoroughly rooted by Ivan, Honza told Boris, 'next time I want to top.' I said, 'that's fine with me.' Anything to see more of this cute little guy. An interesting stat: He came to the Casting Couch two days after his 18th birthday. That very day Miro poked him with a vibrator. Quite a nice delayed birthday celebration for him.
I'll edit a very long version of this backstage to post on the site after the main set runs. Meanwhile enjoy this teaser.
My pick for this week's Casting Couch is Dmitry Karnik.

There are coaching hires that make you scratch your head. You know, when the guy who's been there, failed and been recycled, gets another job. There are others that seem inspired if somewhat odd. The guy who goes straight from the field to the sidelines, for example.
And then there is the one, where you simply nod your head and say, "Yup."
Gregg Berhalter to coach the Columbus Crew? Yup.
In Berhalter, the Crew are bringing in a guy who's covered the entire soccer roadmap. A star at St. Benedict's Prep in Newark, N.J., where he was a teammate of Claudio Reyna, to the University of North Carolina, where he left after three seasons because he realized it was time to move on to the next level, to the Netherlands and the Dutch second division, then the first division, or Eredivisie as it's known.
Then it was on to England's Crystal Palace and Germany's Energie Cottbus and 1860 Munich. He was in Europe from 1994-2009.
And then there were three years in MLS, playing for Bruce Arena and the LA Galaxy, who began to groom him for his coaching career, hiring him as an assistant and then pushing him along on his way to making history as the first American to manage a club team in Europe, when he took the head job with Hammarby IF in Sweden.
At Hammarby, Berhalter learned what every coach must learn along the way. You are hired to be fired.
But there's no way anyone can say Berhalter has not paid his dues. In fact, his career path resembles that of Sporting Kansas City's Peter Vermes, who put a checkmark in just about all the same boxes as Berhalter on his way to becoming the man at SKC.
Now, it's time for Berhalter to put all that experience to work, and the job won't be easy. In Columbus, he's going to be managing a squad – and serving as the sporting director – that falls into the most difficult category known as the "tweener" category.
- More Columbus Crew news at TheCrew.com
The Crew are not so bad that they need to be totally rebuilt. But they are not good enough that they won't need to make significant changes. What's Berhalter to do? It's easy to say you like players like Federico Higuain, Dominic Oduro and Chad Marshall as a core, but when it's the core of a 41-point team – a team that has missed the playoffs now two seasons in a row – a coach must consider building a new core. Tough calls.
Don't expect Berhalter to stand pat. Expect some of his moves to leave you scratching your head. Expect others to seem inspired if somewhat odd. Is he up to the task? Only time will tell. But if the question is, does he deserve a shot to run the Crew?
The answer is, "Yup."

Beginning this July, Hope College will broaden its role as a national leader in the newly-emerging field of vocational exploration.
Hope has been asked by the Washington, D.C.-based Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) to host the new "Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE) Scholarly Resources Project." This project is a national effort to produce materials for use by colleges and universities across the country seeking to help students explore questions of meaning and purpose as they prepare for life and career.
The college's selection reflects the success and impact of the CrossRoads Project, a Hope program that began nine years ago to enhance emphasis at the college on "Thinking Theologically About Career, Calling, and Life." The new "NetVUE Scholarly Resources Project" will be directed by Dr. David Cunningham, who is the founding director of CrossRoads as well as a professor of religion at Hope. Cunningham has been active nationally in discussions related to the development of programs on vocational discernment, including playing a leadership role in establishing the larger NetVUE program of which the new project is a part.
"CIC is delighted to have the scholarly expertise of David Cunningham guiding this project," said CIC president Richard Ekman. "We also are pleased that Hope College will host this initiative."
The NetVUE Scholarly Resources Project is designed to facilitate the creation of new written materials to be used by both faculty and students in achieving a better understanding of vocational exploration. Over the next four years, Cunningham will coordinate the work of three separate groups of scholars, each of which will meet on three separate occasions over the course of about one year. These scholarly seminars will produce work on the teaching of vocational exploration, on the integration of vocation across diverse fields of study, and on the role of vocation in a multi-religious world.
The project will be administered by CIC, with funding from a grant by Lilly Endowment Inc. Office space and other support will be provided by Hope College.
The CrossRoads Project also will continue under Cunningham's leadership. The college's CrossRoads Project began in 2003, when Hope was among the 88 colleges nationwide that were awarded $2 million grants by the Lilly Endowment Inc. to develop what it called "Programs for the Theological Exploration of Vocation." The program was extended in 2008 through an additional $500,000 matching grant. CrossRoads develops its own initiatives focused on vocation and works with other Hope departments to help them integrate vocational discernment into their programs.
The CrossRoads Project has been highly praised by the Lilly Endowment and has already played a leadership role among institutions that support and develop programs on vocational discernment. In 2008, CIC asked Cunningham to help develop NetVUE, an initiative funded through an initial grant to CIC from the Lilly Endowment Inc. He planned and directed the group's first conference, which took place in 2009 in Indianapolis and was attended by teams from nearly 100 institutions. Today, some 167 institutions nationwide are members of NetVUE.

That hard, rubbery texture on your favorite screen-printed tee? More likely than not, it's plastisol, a PVC-derived ink that not only releases harmful dioxins during its manufacture but also off-gasses toxic phthalates into the air and water. To provide a far greener option—both literally and figuratively—Imagine GreenWear is harnessing the power of a marine vegetable you find in your sushi: seaweed. Starting with its fall line, the Fairfax, VA apparel company will be screening its men's, women's, and children's clothes using a dye formulated with seaweed as its base. And because the low-impact dye binds to the fibers at the molecular level, the shirt design won't crack or peel in the wash like conventional inks.
Using a food-safe base was important to Mark Fishbein, the company's CEO, particularly because Imagine GreenWear first catered to children. "The inspiration behind the brand was me seeing a romper made of organic cotton with a heavy plastisol print on it as I was shopping for my grandson a few years ago," he tells Ecouterre. "As a career screen-printer, it got the wheels in my mind turning."
The company plans to have its in-house facility in Virginia GOTS-certified by next spring.
The company plans to have its in-house facility in Virginia GOTS-certified by next spring.
Together with his partner, Cas Shiver, Fishbein founded Imagine GreenWear to provide an eco-friendlier, healthier alternative. "We use non-bleached fabric made of organic cotton grown in Texas, sew the garment with Oeko-Tex-certified cotton thread, and use the most eco-friendly printing process," Fishbein says. "This allows [us] to take care of the people making the clothes while doing the least damage to the environment as possible."
Everything is produced in-house in a facility in Virginia, which the company aims to have certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS, for short) by 2012. "As a society, we have to get away from 'Go Green' T-shirts made of poly-cotton material and printed with plastic inks, which does not equal "green" in my book," Fishbein says. "Clothing is such a basic human need yet its manufacturing has a huge effect on the environment."
Since we take care of what goes into our bodies, shouldn't we do the same for what goes on top of them?

First up, a pair of walking socks for my mother. They are walking rather than anything thing else because they were part of a walkers' pile of presents. She had a 'during' set, comprising of a book of walks by the River, some gingerbread toffee, blister plasters and the socks. Then a 'post-walk' set, with some sockyarn for knitting herself (I gave her Knitting Vintage Socks for her birthday last month), a graphic novel and posh chocolates.
Pattern: Arch-Shaped Socks, done in complete rib, inspired by Zebra. I improvised my toe as I couldn't find instructions from other ribbed versions, but I've forgotten what I did, so please don't ask!
Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy in Blue Lagoon from Socktopus.
Needles: 2.5 addi lace circ, a long one as I did them two at once.
Ravelled here.
Secondly, a jumper for my boyfriend. I told him its a 'first draft sweater', if it doesn't quite fit he shouldn't write off future jumpers, because I'll know to do bits tighter, looser, longer or shorter next time. That said, it works pretty well. The arms are a bit too long - comic handknitted jumper style - so I might steek them a couple of thumbholes. Personally, I think it could be longer on the body, but he likes it and has been wearing it two days in three, so has got on to a good start.
Yarn: New Lanark Mills DK (the 10% silk/ 90% wool mix) in Blue John, with Cobalt contrast hems. This stuff is great. And so cheap. I really can't sing its praises enough.
Needles: 2.75 and 3.25mm addi lace circs.
Ravelled here.

Hey Jonathan, I'm pretty new to the sport and I would love to play. I dont know of too many open courts out there other than Peninsula Park and Oxnard Tennis Center (Costs money). I play at Camino Real Park in Ventura a bit. I am free most evenings and sometimes in the daytime. Send me a message if you are interested. Welcome to the group! :-D
Awesome. I just sent you a friend request so we can message each other and start playing.
To Dana and/or Jonathan, I'm also a beginner needing practice. I'm in Ventura. I'd be available late afternoons, or all day Friday and the weekends. Please let me know if there's a time we can hit. Thanks.
Great. I'm pretty much free in the afternoons and weekend. I sent you a request so we can start messaging and start playing.
Hey Christie, when are you free to play? Perhaps sometime Saturday? I play quite a bit at Camino real park in Ventura. I've only been playing for about 6 months, but I'm getting there.
Hi Jonathan, Im also a beginner player. Im going to Ventura College atm, can I join
if you guys are still meeting up and playing?
I am a beginner looking to practice more often. I am in Camarillo and there's a free public court a couple of miles from my apt. I am available in weekday mornings (earlier the better) and in weekends. You guys interested?

Mike Neal was a durable and productive presence for the Green Bay Packers' defense last season. It appears he's been rewarded for those qualities.
Hi Green Bay!!! I'll enjoy your winters for two more years!!â Michael Neal (@mneal96)
March 12, 2014
A former second-round pick who will turn 27 in June, Neal moved to outside linebacker last season after three years at defensive end. He thrived in his new role, finishing with five sacks and a team-leading 37 quarterback hurries. He had four sacks in Green Bay's final seven games.
The Packers have made it an offseason priority to build their pass rush. Neal's youth and versatility as an inside and outside rusher make him a fit for defensive coordinator Dom Capers' scheme and a player well worth keeping around.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes!

UNLV's dance department created a concert to honor Tiffany Studios in New York, which is an institution committed to maintaining traditions of scrupulous commitment to quality. This studio doesn't turn out dancers, though. It turns out lamp shades.
"Glassworks" was a three-piece showcase performed on Oct. 21 and 22 that celebrated the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, an artist with a flair for stained glass and a vision of bringing that to people at every economic level. He believed that the beauty of glass should be shared with anyone who wants to partake of it. Most dancers can relate.
Louis Kavouras choreographed the opening number of the concert, an arching modern piece with an unpronounceable name. The title is the entirety of Schrodinger's equation, a mess of Greek letters and symbols that describes how the quantum state of a system changes over time. Its solutions describe such things as particles and waves of light and this lofty, cerebral tone twined through his choreography.
Deep strings and a visually compelling set played host to a flock of dancers with good musicality and commendable spacial awareness. The piece churned with splintered factions of dancers, grouping, moving, regrouping, lemming-like at times but almost constantly in motion. The effect was one of near chaos, or many stories at once, or passing time.
The lighting contributed to this; the stage was a beige canvas continually painted with light and the set was gorgeous: stained glass-style hangings draped the wings and a translucent scrim emblazoned with geometric patterns completed the motif. The differing dynamics of movement undulated throughout and gave way to a quiet, amber sunset. The audience whooped.
Richard Havey brought a delightful, 1950s-jazz-meets-the-millennial-generation with "Unbroken Times," an energetic jazz piece underscored by a set of magentas and greens. Characters, extravagantly dressed in skirts, slacks and heels, alternated between big battements, rond de jambes and coupe seconds, nicely interspersed with sections of flouncing about in character. There was a rambunctious hipster vibe to the number, something akin to the visual cacophony of fine society with musings about the passing of time thrown in for fun. Havey was doing what he does best, and it was a wonderful change of pace for the show.
Cathy Allen's "Shattered" summed up the performance with a postmodern feel, a curious set and an even more perplexing soundtrack. The overall effect was one of peeking at a foreign situation; watching from a safe distance seems wise and more mysteries keep presenting themselves as the interactions continue. A beautiful mobile dangled shapes of translucent, colored material over an otherwise tan stage. Dancers in blues and greens interacted beneath this silent spectre, reaching to it occasionally but keeping it at a level of oblique awareness throughout. It was simply interesting to watch and the disconcerting music, composed by UNLV's Beth Mehocic, only added to the supervenient vibe.
"Glassworks," as abstract as the concept may seem, was a multifaceted exploration of the nature of art, no matter the medium. The set itself deserves a tip of the hat; a small note in the program acknowledged the work of dance majors in building the phenomenal pieces, and the time these took was evident. The concert's impact has much to do with the parts of the stage that weren't moving as the parts that were. Visual beauty exists on several levels, after all, and this show made that quite apparent.

There are few outdoor activities you can practice within the comfort of your own home or office. When we discovered the satisfaction of hitting a 1′ target across the office with a small dart shot from a blowgun, it changed the office atmosphere altogether. Stress levels have dropped significantly, and employees treat each other with greater respect now. The blowguns from Cold Steel are surprisingly accurate, even with little training.
The blow guns are available in 4 or 5 foot lengths, with an optional 2 foot extension. We have found that additional length adds to the range and accuracy. A quiver attached to the blowgun keeps track of a dozen darts. There are several variations of darts for those who go beyond target practice. Happy shooting from www.knifecenter.com!

Depending on your weight and conditions you may get away with 5.5, 7 and 9m. I'm loving the 5.5 and is very stable in high-winds and jumps like crazy and got excellent low-end. Also feels like the other sizes except it all happens a lot quicker. I use it for follow the kite wave riding and couldn't be happier, but I still need to dial into the timing aspect on waves.marlboroughman wrote:Thanks guys. I will go with Razor then.

Yeah mefuel wrote: Someone posted on the UK forum that with the Razor its not a question of which is your favourite size, but rather what is your favourite wind strength.
nice video and reviews. Nice to see some turn for turn riding which you are doing nicely with good timing in the mush. The 10m VX turns quicker than I thought it would.kitenb wrote:I had a chance to try a few different 2012 Airush kites today: 10m Lithium, 10m Varial X, and 9m Razor. Winds were 15-24mph, averaging around 19 or 20.. I was mainly riding a 5'4 Airush Compact Surfboard, and then pulled out a Best 134 twin tip for a bit too. I weigh 170lbs.
Overall, all three kites are very nice, but very different. I have been riding over 10 years, and used to be a C kite guy up until a few years ago...Since then, I've been playing around with different C hybrids... So, I like the feel of a C kite, but also like a lot of the features of a SLE or C hybrid, or whatever you call it these days... I like to have some good depower, but not so much that the kite falls out of the sky really fast if you let go of the bar.
Here are my thoughts:
9m Razor: Very solid feel, fast, but not crazy fast. Amazing depower for a C kite. Way more than I remember when I used to ride them. On my twin tip doing some wakestyle stuff, it was perfect. Tons of pop, great for unhooking, etc.. On my surfboard, it worked okay, but I couldn't park the kite and get enough power. I had to work it up and down, and then had plenty of power. It was probably more of a 11m Razor day, but it still worked. If I was a wakestyle guy 90% of the time, this would hands down by the kites I go with. You can't ask for a better kite for that style of riding.
10m Lithium: Just rode this on my surfboard. This has a pure delta feel to me...it is definitely solid, and has a good feel. It was very powerful compared to the 9m razor. I could park it and just go... In the turns, it is more of a pivot turn...a little bit of a lag compared to the Razor when redirecting the kite. Tons of depower, and you can pretty much shut off all pull with just a push of the bar. I can see why a lot of guys like this kite. A few other guys tried the other kites today, and a lot of them liked this kite the best. But for me, I just am not used to a delta type of feel(the pivot turns and tons of depower)..
10m Varial X: Rode with twin tip and surfboard. This was the perfect kite for me. It felt like a perfect blend of the Lithium and the Razor. It has a lot of depower like the Lithium(but not too much depower), and it has the direct feel of the Razor. It jumped great, turned with steady pull thru bottom turns, and just felt good. In the parked position, it didn't have as much pull as the Lithium, but had way more pull compared to the Razor. I could park and forget about it. Just very comfortable to fly. Also, it is a strong 10m. I cannot normally be fully powered on a 10m in the upper teens. Of the three I tried today, this was hands down my favorite.
I made a short 3 min video trying to show the Varial X in action. I will try to post it soon, if my internet cooperates...

Troy-based Doeren Mayhew & Co. PC, an accounting and advisory firm, has formed a separate investment banking practice, Doeren Mayhew Capital Advisors LLC.
"We've been in the investment banking business, we just did it through Doeren Mayhew. But we've got enough licensed people, (so) we decided to spin it off into its own entity," said Managing Director Mark Crawford.
Crawford said the new business unit has three employees in its Troy headquarters and three in the firm's Houston office.
Crawford said the practice will only do deals involving private companies. While the firm will have no limit on the size of deals, he said he expects most to be in the $10 million to $200 million range. He said Doeren Mayhew has closed five deals in the past two months and 10 since the fiscal year began in October.
According to Inside Public Accounting, Doeren Mayhew ranked as the top accounting firm in the U.S. in M&A activity in 2013, deriving 5.8 percent of its revenue from investment banking.

I'm doing my first big project and I don't have a lot of experience in a professional programming environment. While researching anything programming-related I often see references to Unit Testing, but I am still unclear as to how to set those up or even if it would be beneficial to me.
Can someone explain unit testing to me, and how to set it up in a Visual Studio 2010 solution that has multiple projects? Is it something that occurs within your project's solution, or is it a separate solution? And is it something you'd recommend for a small development team or is it just a waste of time to setup?
Right now I just run the entire program to test whatever I am currently working on, but occasionally I have run into problems that are not easy to debug and it would be useful to run subsets of the code elsewhere... Sometimes I do setup another project with some of the libraries referenced to test a small part of the program, but I feel more time is wasted setting that up then just running the entire program because of all the dependencies involved
