The Ryerson Commerce Society (RCS) is the umbrella organization which represents the four schools in the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University; Business Management, Information Technology Management, Hospitality and Tourism Management, and Retail Management. Founded in 2003, the RCS was created to enrich the University experience of all commerce students by acting as a liaison between commerce students, student groups and faculty, in addition to hosting various academic and social events throughout the year. They operate with the goal of uniting the four schools of business through three pillars; providing commerce students with a social, professional, and educational experience that is second to none. The RCS also strives to ensure the development of a community spirit within the business student body and provides opportunities that will enrich every Commerce Students post-secondary experience.
The RCS works to accomplish these goals by funding commerce student groups and student initiatives in order to improve student life on campus. Funding initiatives include sending commerce students to educational conferences and case competitions, and subsidizing event costs to allow more students to take part in University events.

GeekNights is a podcast which covers a myriad of topics in a self-described "late-night radio talk show" style. It is four semi-independent podcasts that each update weekly, catering to different demographics. One of these, GeekNights Wednesdays, was awarded the 2007 Parsec Award for "Best Anime Podcast."
Hosts
GeekNights is hosted by Brandon "Rym" DeCoster and Scott "Apreche" Rubin, known on the show simply as "Rym and Scott." Both are computer technology professionals, having Bachelors of Science in Information Technology and Computer Science respectively, both from the Rochester Institute of Technology. At RIT, Rym served as president of the RIT Anime Club, as well as vice-president of the RIT Kendo Club, and occasionally wrote for intra-campus publications.
The two now live in downstate New York with Rym's girlfriend Emily, producing the show locally with their own equipment. They both maintain day jobs, though neither mentions their current company by name (Rym has previously worked for IBM and has made reference to as much during the podcast).
Format
Opener: Shows are often begun by talk about their day or other recent events.
News: Rym and Scott pick one news item each that they find interesting and provide their opinion. Guest hosts are rarely included in this segment.
Things of the Day: The hosts (guest hosts usually included) pick the most interesting/funny thing they found on the internet that day and discuss it.
Main Bit: Where they discuss the topic of the show.
Closer: A prerecorded segment that provides information about the show.
Recently, the format of GeekNights Thursday has become less rigid.
GeekNights Mondays
Mondays are science, technology, and computing nights. Often a platform for tech news commentary (sometimes taking up entire episodes in the form of "Tech News Roundups"). This night features a semi-ongoing "How Computers Work" series, though as time has gone on, episodes featuring this theme have dropped the actual "How Computers Work" subtitle from episode titles.
GeekNights Tuesdays
GeekNights Tuesdays is a gaming podcast, covering videogames, German board games, role playing games, card games, and more. Notable interviews include Luke Crane, the creator of Burning Wheel, and Tarn Adams, the lead developer for Dwarf Fortress.
Their first live appearance at a gaming convention was at Ubercon VIII, and since they have regularly appeared at Connecticon. More recently, they presented for the first time at the Penny Arcade Expo 2008 as Special Guests. This event, entitled Beyond Dungeons & Dragons, was successful to the point that the majority of the audience followed them afterward to an unscheduled demonstration event which included both Jared Sorensen and Luke Crane as surprise speakers. PAX provided additional staff and a panel room to accommodate the overflow. Rym and Scott are now regular speakers at both PAX East and West.
GeekNights Wednesdays
GeekNights Wednesdays, which covers anime, manga, and comics, was awarded the 2007 Parsec Award for "Best Anime Podcast." It includes fan convention reports, anime reviews, recordings from their live shows, and interviews. Notables include Jeff Tatarek, Michael Terracciano and Jim Vowles, the con chair of Otakon 2006.
They perform regular live shows at numerous fan conventions, including Connecticon, Anime Boston, and Otakon, and have been guests of Katsucon, SITA-con, the New York Anime Festival, and others.
GeekNights has worked with Samurai Beat Radio, in association with TokyoFM, in the past, interviewing Japanese celebrities like Halcali and TM Revolution
One of the hosts, Rym, covered Otakon 2006 in ImagineFX. He was also featured in Newtype USA as an expert on the formation and running of anime fan clubs.
In 2007, they created controversy with an 18+ event titled "Gekiga: Putting the 'Man' Back in Manga" presented at Otakon that year. The event, which played to a standing-room-only crowd, generated a single complaint due to the subject matter, which led to a minor inquest by the Otakon staff. This matter was resolved in the end, though Rym and Scott, in their own words, "toned down the event" for follow-up performances at New York Anime Festival 2007 and Katsucon 2008, before renaming and then retiring the panel.
GeekNights Thursdays
Thursdays are a catch-all show for general commentary, including politics, self-described rants, opinion pieces, humorous cop-outs, and so forth. They occasionally have a running series of advice programs entitled "How to Not Suck," in addition to a book club.
GeekNights Specials
GeekNights Specials run infrequently, and are recognizable by the lack of intro music, as well as a lack of News and Things of the Day segments.
Guest Hosts
Guest hosts have included their friends Peter Olsen and Adam aka 'Art Boy', as well as Rym's girlfriend Emily Compton. The hosts of Movies You Should See and Fast Karate for the Gentlemen have also provided guest podcasts when Rym and Scott were out of town.

HomeTips.com is an informational Web and book publishing business based in Glendale, California. Founded in 1996 by
author and home improvement expert Don Vandervort, HomeTips has produced numerous home improvement books and Web domains. HomeTips.com, the company’s primary domain, is one of the oldest and most popular home improvement sites on the Web.
Early Years
HomeTips began in a backyard clubhouse. Seeking a quiet, woodsy spot for writing home improvement books and magazine articles, author Don Vandervort converted the bottom floor of his sons' two-story "treehouse" into a small office. He launched HomeTips.com from that office in 1997 as an online portfolio to promote the sale of his books and the licensing of content to Web companies such as Microsoft.
Book Publishing
In 1999, Vandervort moved to larger offices in Glendale, California, and assembled a team of editors, writers, and artists. The company’s first major project was writing and developing for publication the Lowe’s Complete Home Improvement and Repair book, which was published in 2000.
Other books written and produced by HomeTips include:
* How Your House Works (Ballantine)
* The Home Problem Solver (Perseus)
* Patio Roofs & Gazebos (Sunset)
* Barbecues & Outdoor Kitchens (Sunset)
* Building Birdhouses (Sunset)
* Curb Appeal (Sunset)
* Lowe’s Complete Kitchen (Sunset)
* Lowe’s Complete Bathroom (Sunset)
* This Old House Complete Remodeling (Sunset)
* Lowe’s Complete Home Improvement & Repair 2ed. (Sunset)
Web Business
The HomeTips Website began running Google AdSense advertising throughout the site in 2003. This relatively new advertising model provided an easy way for this small content business to populate revenue-generating advertising throughout the site, which had grown to several thousand pages of expert information. This became a major turning point for HomeTips, as the revenue derived from this advertising made it possible for the staff of home improvement writers and editors to transition from book publishing to content creation and site building. HomeTips became a "poster child" of Google AdSense success stories .
