Koss Corp.
Milwaukee-based Koss Corp. has introduced a new line of earphones developed specifically for women through the collaborative efforts of Koss’ female designers and Olympic swimmer Dara Torres. The Koss Fit Series is available in two models. Koss FitClips consist of a new in-ear ported design and come in three sizes. The second model, Koss FitBuds, consists of the smallest earbuds Koss has ever designed. The buds are six millimeters in diameter, 33 percent smaller than the company’s average earbud, and are surrounded by a dual-injected, soft-rubberized housing. Both models have five color options. Consumers can also opt for a sweat-resistant coating that preserves the earbuds during vigorous activity.

Groundbreaking report says most local nonprofits have recovered from the Great Recession
The report below documents the results of a survey of the top executives at 79 nonprofit organizations throughout southeastern Wisconsin. The BizTimes Nonprofit Survey asked the executives to assess their charities' financial well-being and describe their needs. The survey was sent to the organizations that had compiled listings in the BizTimes Nonprofit Directory at www.biztimes.com/nonprofit. The groundbreaking project was conducted as a service to the community. The survey was conducted by advanced journalism students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The UWM students in the “Advanced Reporting” class who conducted the survey and collected remarks from the nonprofit executives and others in the industry were: Marley Flueger, James Gutierrez, John Kroeger, Jacob Larsen, Samantha Nash, Aubree Omachinski, Christine Pedretti, Maxwell Thiesenhusen, Harrison Turner and Kyle Zittel. The students compiled the special report under the direction of BizTimes executive editor Steve Jagler, who taught the course.
