If you were in Ann Arbor last Thursday night and weren't too busy a) studying for finals or b) lamenting the horrifying collapse of the Michigan basketball team, the Ross Business School's Net Impact/Arts Enterprise holiday party was only one place to be. Despite frigid temperatures outside, over 200 guests packed Live at PJ's to rock their Santa hats, listen to the amazing B-School band, and hit the dance floor. All proceeds from the evening raised money to fund four gifts designed by Net Impact and Arts Enterprise members through The Generation Project.
The sum total: nearly $2500, all of which will benefit low-income public school students in Detroit. The money raised will be divided equally among the gifts designed by Net Impact and Arts Enterprise members. These four diverse gifts--which range from robotics to health to Motown to the arts--were educational, fun, and creative, as one would expect from a school that has turned out alumni like these. Check them out! (Educators, these will be available on our community section soon):
Varsity Sports for the Mind: I heard Dean Kamen; founder of F.I.R.S.T. ("For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology"); speak at an event this summer and was inspired by his passion. His vision is "To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes." F.I.R.S.T. programs cultivate the imagination and creativity of students age 6-18 through mentor-based programs in science; technology; engineering; and math. High school programs culminate in a national robotics competition in a major sports facility that has all the energy and dynamism of the Final Four. I want to provide funding for a local school to sponsor a team.
Music of Motown: Have a class of 20 students learn about the history of Motown and visit the Motown Historical Museum (aka. Studio A) on West Grand Boulevard. Then have them write new lyrics to a Motown standard (a kind of answer song; which was a typical of early Motown hit strategies). In a dream world, the students could perform the songs for a visiting Motown legend -- either Duke Fakir of The Four Tops or Martha Reeves of Martha and the Vandellas. Both still live in Detroit and would likely visit students and offer singing tips for a small honorarium. The story of Motown can be an inspiring one about the importance of determination and entrepreneurship.
Health Living: This project encourages a healthy lifestyle for children through outdoor physical activity and healthy eating, and should include activities related to both. The physical activity could involve a field trip to the Greenways or a Metropark, or perhaps the "Biggest Loser Detroit" or a Detroit Lions player could make an appearance at school and lead an exercise activity, though it may not be possible. The healthy eating activity should be interactive and creative. For example, it could involve a trip to an urban farm or Eastern Market where the children could make a healthy snack.
Student Involvement in the Arts: Detroit has a long history of artistic greatness; but many students have no idea that their city is the home to not only Motown; but Fox Theater; Orchestra Hall; and some of the country's finest arts institutions. I think that we could work with one or more of these institutions to not only sponsor a day/event dedicated to Detroit students; but also provide a lasting channel of communication through which students could have a real voice in the programming choices and day-to-day operations of these institutions (e.g. student councils; youth on board; student advisors; competitive internships; etc).
On behalf of The Generation Project and Detroit Public Schools students, thanks go out to Net Impact, Arts Enterprise, the incredible event organizers, and to all the wonderful guests who showed up! The party itself was a smash success as well: first-hand reports, while hazy, have the dance floor packed until last call.

We hear ya. "The Generation Project is totally cool," you say, "and I love that its web-based model allows for the low overhead costs. But other charities have holiday galas. And those are fun! Why can't you have one too?"
Well, thanks to our friends at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, now you can party with Santa in support of The Generation Project. B-school groups Net Impact and Arts Enterprise have designated The Generation Project the official beneficiary of their annual holiday bash! This party is always renowned as the highlight Michigan's holiday season. And this year, with all proceeds being used to design gifts for low-income Detroit students, it is not something you'll want to miss.

validated Campaign Essentials™
Validate Total Campaign Delivery and Optimize In-Flight
with a Single, Holistic Tool
An ad that never had an opportunity to be seen by its target audience can't deliver its intended impact. Nor can an ad that was delivered in the wrong geography, next to questionable content or subject to non-human traffic.
At Kellogg's we are continually seeking to improve the overall effectiveness of every media dollar spent. Key to enabling our decisions is understanding who each impression reaches, how visible our ads are, and where the greatest efficiencies exist. Being able to validate our media delivery through a single source with vCE creates opportunities for both near real-time optimizations as well as enhanced future planning.
validated Campaign Essentials (vCE) is a holistic ad delivery validation solution that provides deep campaign insights, in-flight reporting and daily alerting for convenient and effective campaign management.
Unlike existing single-point solutions, vCE provides an unduplicated accounting of impressions delivered across a variety of dimensions, such as ads delivered in-view, in the right geography, in a brand safe environment and absent of non-human traffic. It also evaluates the degree to which validated impressions reached the campaign target audience.
The ad validation suite in vCE, which includes viewability, brand safety, in-country geographic delivery, engagement, and removal of non-human traffic, is accredited by the Media Rating Council (MRC).

Sailing Knot secrets - Tie the mighty 'King of Joinery'
'Join two lines together with the double-becket bend (also called a 'double sheet bend'). Take care to bunch the turns up to make it tight and secure. (illustration from 'Seamanship Secrets')'
Captain John Jamieson

Imagine that you find you need a twenty foot spring line to dock your boat in a stiff wind. And you have just a collection of shorter lengths of line left aboard. What is the solution? John Jamieson (Captain John) here offers an answer:
You dig in the sail locker and find you have two shorter lines--one an old Genoa sheet and the other a short length of three-strand nylon. Which sailing knot would be the right choice for the job? Add this powerhouse sailing knot to your list of 'best knots to know' aboard your small sailboat today!
Anytime you join one line to another, you want a knot that will hold under a shock load. Think of any line like a rubber-band. Boat wakes, tidal rise and fall, and wind gusts push and pull on your line.
Choose Your Joinery Method.
You have many choices, but two are easy to tie, easy to remember and can be made fast and secure. You could use the common bowline.
Tie a bowline in one line; pass the other line through the eye and tie a second bowline. This makes a strong, secure way to join two lines. But you will need a lot of line (small bowlines will take about 12' of each line) and you'll end up with two bulky knots in the line instead of one.
Your second choice--the double-becket bend (also called a double-sheet bend)--makes a strong, compact knot. It's often used to join two lines of unequal diameter, but you can use it to join two lines of equal diameter too.
Follow these three easy steps to success:
1. Make a Teardrop
Form an upside down teardrop (or raindrop) shape with the larger of the two lines--or one of two lines if they're the same diameter. Hold the teardrop in your non-dominant hand with the fat part of the drop facing down (first illustration).
2. Pass the Becket
Pull the other line (or the smaller line) through the back of the teardrop and bring several inches toward you. Form a loose loop on one side of the teardrop. Pass the line around the back of the teardrop and through the loop. Do this twice (second illustration).
3. Cinch Up the Knot
Make your knot tight and compact. Pull on both standing parts and bitter ends a bit at a time. You want the knot to stay put under surge or shock load (third illustration).
Every sailing skipper needs to know the best sailing knots that will give him or her the triple benefit of security, compactness, and reliability. Use the well-tested double-becket bend to join two lines together the next time you find yourself near the end of your rope!

Interesting concept... XD
There was to be one of prophecy, his life is supposed to change the world, his power would be completely incredible. He will be the ultimate source for good or evil. He will-
...Oh crap.
In the future, there was going to be one supreme mutant, unfortunately he died as a child before his x-gene could manifest. His parents had his organs dispersed into a children's hospital where it was spread amongst many needy kids, miraculously none of the children ever needed any help afterward and all moved onto live fully healthy lives. They never even had a cold since the transplants, most nominal vision improvement and persistent childish problems cleared up within a year after the transplants.
What happens to a human child with a mutant organ growing inside them on the onset of puberty? Lets find out!

After writing a provocative piece for NYT, this guy Seidman (a constitutional law professor) got grilled by Russ Roberts (a staunch but extremely fair Republican from the Hoover Institution) on today's EconTalk. And what an amazing discussion it was!
Before commenting, Republicans may want to do a full set of push-ups, punch a wall, and think about the following phrase from the article:
"What would change is not the existence of these institutions, but the basis on which they claim legitimacy."

GameStop іn September announced plans tο accept iPhone, iPad, аnd iPod trade-ins аt ѕοmе οf іtѕ stores
With Android tablets (at least those not called the Kindle Fire) hardly making a dent in the iPad's sales, you wouldn't think they would be a high priority for a video gameretailer. Yet that isn't stopping Gamestop from adding them to their retail stores, as they continue their attempt to expand beyond the finite future of boxed games.
The games include several EA titles, , including Dead Space and Madden NFL as well as a Sonic the Hedgehog game, Monster Madness, andRiptide GP. They also arranged with the manufacturers to add compatibility with a special Gamestop controller, which looks similar to an Xbox 360 remote. Only four of those games will play nicely with the controller, which they are selling for $39.
While disc-based games do have some time left, they are likely to eventually be replaced by digital downloads. Steam, the App Store and the Android Market have already primed gamers for this transition, and it's only a matter of time before devices like the Playstation and Xbox lose their optical drives altogether. Gamestop knows this, but Steam has a big head start on them in digital sales. The company is trying to find some kind of footing to make sure their business can thrive ten years from now.
Apple's iOS-based devices аrе helping many retailers bolster thеіr bottom lines, bυt whο′d hаνе thουght thаt thеу wουld аlѕο benefit a boutique game retailer?
In a research note sent tο investors today, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter ѕаіd thаt hе believes iPhones аnd iPads сουld play a "significant" role іn GameStop's financial performance іn thе coming quarters.
"Given thе broadcast's seemingly ravenous demand fοr iDevices, thе high trade-іn credit thаt саn bе received fοr thеѕе devices (аѕ opposed tο thе typical console game, fοr example), аnd thе fiscal constraints felt bу many patrons thаt prevent thе bυу οf a grουndbrеаkіng nеw iDevice," Pachter wrote іn thе note, "wе see thіѕ used business аѕ a significant revenue growth opportunity thаt hаѕ nοt bееn addressed bу GameStop's competitors."
GameStop іn September announced plans tο accept iPhone, iPad, аnd iPod trade-ins аt ѕοmе οf іtѕ stores. During аn earnings call wіth investors yesterday, thе company–whісh аlѕο hаѕ begun promotion Android tablets–reported thаt trade-ins аrе now accepted аt аll οf іtѕ stores, аnd іt's currently promotion persons devices οn іtѕ Web site аnd асrοѕѕ 260 locations.
Thе financial upside іѕ hυgе fοr GameStop. Thе company currently offers up tο $70 fοr аn iPod Nano, up tο $150 fοr аn iPod, up tο $175 fοr аn iPhone, аnd up tο $375 fοr аn iPad. It thеn sells persons devices (аnd accessories) аt a significant premium.
Bυt thеrе іѕ more tο thіѕ tаlе thаn јυѕt thе profit GameStop саn generate frοm thе iPhone аnd iPad. GameStop hаѕ historically relied upon video game software аnd hardware tο drive іtѕ business. Bυt wіth game sales οn thе decline–industrywide hardware revenue wаѕ down 5.5 percent аnd software sales wеrе down 9.9 percent last quarter–Apple's devices, Pachter notes, сουld eventually mаkе up fοr thаt іn GameStop's revenue mix.
GameStop's focus οn hardware goes beyond Apple's products. Thе company аlѕο reported аt іtѕ earnings call yesterday thаt thе Acer Iconia tablet, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, аnd Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 аrе now available аt over 200 GameStop locations аnd online. GameStop announced thеіr initial availability before thіѕ month.
GameStop generated $1.9 billion іn revenue аnd a $53.9 million profit during thе three-month period fіnіѕhеd October 29, thе company announced yesterday.

Bus drivers want rules spelled out
Troutman terminated under non-existent policy
MINOOKA, Ill. — Two bus drivers spoke to the Minooka Community High School board of education Thursday night about issues with the transportation department, neither aware the other would be in attendance.
Driver Larry Troutman, who is also the Channahon Township supervisor, asked that he not to be terminated from his job, saying his firing was based on a policy the district doesn't have.
Troutman explained the circumstances of four incidents that happened while he was driving a bus during the last several months, three of which, he said, were not entirely his fault and for which he, therefore, should not be penalized.

Who knew the guys of fun. were so ....fun? The band stopped by rock station 95X in North Carolina and revealed some things that maybe you probably didn't know about them before. Like how they stay up to date on the status of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's relationship, or that despite her recent arrests, they would in fact date Lindsay Lohan. Or you probably didn't know that they are fans of The Wanted and their "immaculate" skin.
The guys also confessed that even though they named a few bands they'd love to work with, they're more focused on their own fun music. BUT fun. did mention Chris Brown's name, saying that they'd "love to meet him," and maybe eat some raisins? We're not quite sure what that has to do with anything, but a fun./Chris Brown collaboration could be interesting.
Check out the band's full interview, and have fun.!

ADHD Journal: My ADHD Child
Out of Order
What do you do with something that is out of order? You fix it, you put a sign on it, or you throw it away. Far too often, this is the life experience of children with ADHD. I know. I have one.
Kids with ADHD are often seen as out of order. They don (tm)t align with standards. Standard testing. Standard behaviors. Standard expectations. Standard energy. Standard memory. Their brains function differently.
Or perhaps, even worse than being out of order, they are often considered in disorder. They aren (tm)t just broken; they are disruptive. They are a problem. They must be handled or reconditioned.
I get it. As a society, we want to make sense of things. We want to put a round peg in a round hole. When someone hands us a square peg, we don (tm)t know what to do with it. We try pushing it in the hole. When that doesn (tm)t work, we put it in the reject pile, or shave its edges, or pretend it doesn (tm)t exist.
Now, for a moment, image you are the child with ADHD. You can (tm)t change anything. This is how God made you " with energy that never runs out, an uncontrollable urge to say and do whatever your brain imagines, and a nearly-impossible-to-stop forgetfulness.
You are a square peg. It was clear from day one. You never did things like everyone else. When the kids in the two-year-old room were napping, you were running and giggling. When every other five-year-old was sitting Indian-style listening to the pastor tell the children (tm)s story, you were somersaulting back and forth across the stage.
By kindergarten, adults in extracurricular activities were calling you rude. By the fourth grade, teachers were blowing up at you. On several occasions, adults put their hands on you in anger. Mom and dad didn (tm)t understand at first, so they used harsh discipline. Your peers ¦..oh, your peers ¦.. With them, it never ends. Year after year after year you hear, Your weird, and Nobody likes you. You get shunned on a regular basis, often finding yourself sitting all alone.
Now imagine that ADHD kid without any clinical support - without a school psychologist or a counselor; without parents who care; without friends. We wonder as a society why kids crack. I went through trauma as a young person and I remember how it felt. Imagine if every day was a trauma.
I am the parent of an ADHD child and I care. I am learning every single thing I can about ADHD. I am setting up support networks, seeking help for us, debriefing with my daughter when she cries at night, and searching for healthy friendships for her with people who understand. Still, with all that, we are often in immense pain. I can (tm)t image the child who has no one.
So what is my point? If we walk away with nothing else from reading this collection of words, we should walk away with this one thing: ADHD kids are not out of order. They don (tm)t need to be fixed or labeled or thrown away. They need to be loved. They need to be appreciated for the beautiful gifts they have instead of torn apart for not meeting standards. They need someone to talk to, not someone who yells at them and puts them down. They get enough of that. They need patient and caring people who can teach them to manage themselves, not be managed by others.
I once saw a telephone booth with two big pieces of tape in an x across the door and a sign hanging loosely from a string that said out of order. Even now, the image of it makes me cry. I cry because the world hangs a sign around their necks that says out of order and their beautiful little faces reveal sad eyes. I don (tm)t know what happened to that telephone booth, but I close my eyes and image it on the stage of a Broadway play. It (tm)s a shiny, perfectly-placed prop. It has purpose, just like my little girl.
I will say this. We have come a long way in our country. When I was a kid, we had family members with ADHD. Yet, we didn (tm)t even use terms like ADHD. No one talked about it. Today, the dialogue is wide open; but we have a long way to go as a society in learning how to nurture these beautiful little creations " these square pegs in a big, round world.

I recently attended Daegu, South Korea to compete in the World Fire Fighter Games 2010. I had previously finished 3rd in my home countries event back in 2008 finishing just behind Rob Hallworth, one of your sponsored archers. Travelling to South Korea was a real pleasure and to come home as World Champion, a dream come true!
I have now been using my W&W infinite riser since I first took up the sport in 2004, but feel now that I need to invest in some more modern equipment, to enable me to compete on more level terms with the top archers.
I met, once again, your representatve Choi, Sung-Ho at this years United Kingdom indoor championships where I finished 9th after the days shooting. He showed me the Inno CXT riser and Ex limbs... I now see you have produced another riser, the RCX 100....
Can you tell me if the CRX will be available in the uk for me to compare both?
Do you think you would consider sponsoring me to some degree?
Many thanks

I love this bag, I have been watching it for months and finally decided to get it. I got the maize colour which is now being a considered a "neutral" in my eyes. The bag is gorgeous. It looks so much more expensive than it actually was. The only downside is that it starts to flop down (if you're like me and don't carry much in your bag, the handles end up weighing the bag down). But once I readjust my items inside the bag, the form of it comes back. It's so practical and it comes with the optional strap so it works for everyday.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Give the Gift of Girl Scouting: Make the world a better place by making a gift that will help build tomorrow's leaders! Click below to donate online, or mail your gift to: GSEM, 95 Berkeley St, Suite 404, Boston, MA 02116
Every summer, Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts offers a quality summer camp experience to more than 6,000 girls. For many of these girls, the dream of going to camp would be out of reach without some form of financial support. Last year, we provided camp scholarships to more than 450 girls, giving them the experiences that only Girl Scout Camp can provide. Please help us make a girl's dream come true by donating today. A contribution of $300 will fund a full week of camp for one girl.
As part of the Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary celebration, we are offering the opportunity to support the Campership Fund by participating in the Pathway to Leadership Commemorative Brick Program, which will restore a portion of the maze at Camp Cedar Hill.
Pathway to Leadership
Commemorate the Past, Celebrate the Present, Look forward to the Future
Support the future of Girl Scouting and invest in tomorrow's girls by making a lasting gift today. As part of the Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary celebration, Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts honored an important piece of our own local history by revitalizing an area that was part of the original Cedar Hill maze in Waltham. The Pathway to Leadership is adorned with commemorative bricks inscribed with personal messages that represent the Girl Scouts' rich history. Help us build the path for a strong future for tomorrow's Girl Scouts and be forever part of the Girl Scout legacy by purchasing a commemorative brick. Your donation will benefit our Campership Fund, which provides hundreds of girls with the opportunity to experience the joys of camp. Your Girl Scout brick purchase includes:
- A 4" x 8" brick with your personal inscription included as part of the maze pathway at Cedar Hill.
- An official certificate of acknowledgment bearing your inscription and commemorating your place in Girl Scout history.
S.H.A.R.E. Annual Fund
Every girl has the potential to make a difference in the world. That's why every dollar you give to the Girl Scouts is so crucial. Your support of the Support Her Activities, Resources, and Experiences (S.H.A.R.E.) Annual Fund supports more than 500 programs and services for the 41,000 girls and 18,000 adult volunteers we serve. The S.H.A.R.E. Annual Fund is an essential part of the success of Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts:
- The $12 membership fee that each girl pays is sent directly to the Girl Scouts national office. S.H.A.R.E. Annual Fund donations, however, stay in eastern Massachusetts and benefit local girls.
- The cost to provide programming to each girl is $290 annually. Your donation helps us bridge the gap between fees charged and actual program costs.
- S.H.A.R.E. Annual Fund donations allow the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts to subsidize fees to keep programs cost-effective for every family, fund program and safety training for volunteers working with girls, offer financial assistance and maintain our 13 camp properties.
You can make your gift online today to ensure the Girl Scout program that has empowered women for 100 years will continue to inspire the girls in your community to be the best they can be.
Why Give to Girl ScoutsFor 100 years, Girl Scouts has done more than any other organization to provide leadership opportunities specifically for girls. Our alumnae are living proof of the positive impact of Girl Scouting in the world.
At any given point in time, approximately 10 percent of girls are Girl Scouts, yet:
- Eighty percent of women business owners were Girl Scouts.
- Sixty-nine percent of female U.S. Senators were Girl Scouts.
- Sixty-seven percent of female members of the House of Representatives were Girl Scouts.
- Virtually every female astronaut who has flown in space was a Girl Scout.
America's most accomplished women in public service, business, science, education, the arts and community life are Girl Scout alumnae. In 2012, we will mark 100 years of Girl Scouting.
Our goal is to support every girl with the opportunity to be the leader she wants to be, and the leader the world needs her to be. Join us in making a promise to girls that every girl in this generation will reach her fullest potential, wherever she lives, whatever challenges face her and however great the journey to what she can become.

User Reviews - see how Kidspot parents share their recommendationsAvg. Rating
Yes, I would recommend this business to a friend!
I highly recommend the 1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching to all parents!! It is an effective way for kids to follow instructions and know when they are pushing the boundaries. There is no more screaming in our household and there is alot more time being loving and spending fun times together. Brad was very informative and used alot of his own experiences which I think is valuable. Worth the listen.

Many loyalty programs (including Ox&Pen Version 1.0) award points for check-ins at shops and restaurants—check-ins that don't necessarily translate into revenue for the merchant.
Presumably it's great if a loyalty app shows a shop owner that 89 people checked in at their establishment last week, but what is the value of each of those check-ins? Did each person who checked in spend $5 or $50, or $0? How does the average ticket of the "check-ins" compare to the amount the average customer spends? By rewarding check-ins with points that are redeemable for rewards, the shop owner is paying for each check-in, so the resulting revenue is of critical importance.
Is it possible to reward customer behaviors that bring in revenue for the merchant? Below are three actions that business owners value. At Ox&Pen, we're working to redefine loyalty to include each of these metrics, which when coupled with a customer check-in, prove to be more deserving of rewards than check-ins alone.
Ticket Spend
Arguably the most obvious desire of a small business owner is for customers to make purchases. Rewarding customers for every dollar they spend is something credit card companies have been doing for years; through strategic reward initiatives, it could be the norm for small business loyalty programs.
By offering rewards for shopping and dining at certain shops and restaurants, loyalty programs can influence consumers to do more spending at small, local merchants, which is a step in the right direction to competing with larger-than-life corporate chains.
Customers sharing experiences with the merchant through social channels
Even if a customer doesn't spend copious amounts of cash with each visit, he or she may be broadcasting the merchant's name to hundreds or even thousands of friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter, which could end up being just as valuable for a small business as money spent.
Word of mouth marketing has long been a favorite buzzword of marketers; Nielsen reports that 92% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know, while only 37% trust search engine ads and 24% trust online banner ads (Zuberance). In terms of creating brand awareness, channeling resources to get people to talk about a brand seems to lead to a higher ROI than a big media buy.
Social loyalty programs, in particular, are in the unique position to incite a word of mouth movement. By rewarding people for sharing merchant experiences on social networks, business owners are investing in the type of exposure that has been proven to spur visits and spending from a new, expanded pool of customers.
Customers returning to spend more money
The only thing better than a customer spending money at a small business, is a customer returning again and again to spend even more money (slaps forehead). This is, of course, consumer loyalty in its truest form, and something that can be achieved with the help of a strategically employed loyalty program.
Loyalty is changing
No, running a successful small business can't be drilled down to three generalized items. Rather, I'm inviting interested parties to take a look at the changing game of loyalty. How can loyalty programs reward customers for their actions that matter most to the merchant's bottom line?
Since inception, Ox&Pen has sought to bring real value to local businesses by focusing on increasing the consumer behaviors that they value most, like dollars spent and social shares. After working with Chicago's local, independently-owned merchants for a year, we have learned so much about what they need from a loyalty program. At the end of the day, they need more customers spending more money.
