|The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2010)
A micro-enterprise (or microenterprise) is a type of small business, often registered, having five or fewer employees and requiring seed capital of not more than $35,000.[1] The term is often used in Australia to refer to a business with a single owner-operator, and having up to 20 employees. The European Union EU defines micro-enterprises as those that meet 2 of the following 3 criteria and have not failed to do so for at least 10 years:
- fewer than 10 employees
- balance sheet total below EUR 2 million
- turnover below EUR 2 million .[2]
The term microenterprise connotes different entities and sectors depending on the country.
Generally speaking,
- in developed countries, microenterprises make up the smallest end (by size) of the small business sector, whereas
- in developing countries, microenterprises constitute the vast majority of the small business sector—a result of the relative lack of formal sector jobs available for the poor. These microentrepreneurs operate microenterprises not by choice, but out of necessity.
Microenterprises add value to a country's economy by creating jobs, enhancing income, strengthening purchasing power, lowering costs and adding business convenience.[3]
Because microenterprises typically have little to no access to the commercial banking sector, they often rely on "micro-loans" or microcredit in order to be financed. Microfinance institutions often finance these small loans, particularly in the Third World. Those who found microenterprises are usually referred to as entrepreneurs.
The terms microenterprise and microbusiness have the same meaning, though traditionally when referring to a small business financed by microcredit the term microenterprise is used. Similarly when referring to a small, usually legal business that isn't financed by microcredit, the term microbusiness is used.
Micro and Home Business Network [1], an Australian organization, defines a micro-business as one with five or less employees [2]. This definition is often used in the United States.[3] In Europe a business with less than ten employees may be officially considered a micro-business [4].
Generally speaking, governments tend to define small- and micro-businesses more broadly than colloquial uses of those terms. This article discusses micro-business in the colloquial sense.
Concept in disability recovery[edit]
Microenterprises give persons who have a disability flexibility to attend doctor's appointments or treatments that normally occur in the 9–5 time frame of the day and would eventually conflict with the norm of most typical work environments.
Microenterprises present persons with a disability business networking avenues into the community that differ greatly from the medical or treatment mode that they may have become confined to.
Government programs[edit]
Plan for Achieving Self Support is a program offered by the United States Social Security Administration (or SSA) to encourage persons that are Supplemental Security Income (or SSI) eligible who are disabled to set aside moneys for various reasons: training, schooling and funding microenterprise as a Work Goal.
The NEIS (New Enterprise Initiative Scheme) is a government program in Australia, which assists unemployed people to start their own businesses. Although it is not specifically for micro-businesses, many if not most businesses started in this program are micro-businesses (in the senses of having limited capital, and only one person involved in the business).
Micro-loans are a way for organizations and entrepreneurs to make small loans to those in poverty often in third world countries. The term "micro-loans" is more commonly referred to as Microcredit.
Microenterprises in the U.S.[edit]
In the United States, the microenterprise development field and its trade association, The Association of Enterprise Opportunity AEO, have defined a microenterprise as a business with five or fewer employees. Many of these businesses have no employees other than the self-employed owners. Additionally, such microenterprises generally need less than $35,000 in loan capital and do not have access to the conventional commercial banking sector. Most organizations in the field also focus their services on those microentrepreneurs who, as defined by federal government standards, are low-to-moderate income. By definition, most of these entrepreneurs are minorities, recent immigrants, women, disabled or for other reasons have special challenges that reduce their ability to access traditional credit and other services.
The microenterprise field has a twenty-year history in the United States. While the term "microenterprise" was in common use internationally by the late 1970s, it came into domestic use about a decade later. Traditionally, the business sector had been categorized into three groups: large, medium, and small. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) defines a small business as having up to 500 employees. In 1991, the SBA recognized microenterprise as a separate or distinct category of business.
As a result of President Obama's signing the "Small Business Jobs Act" on September 27, 2010, the SBA announced that the maximum microloan limit has been increased from $35,000 to $50,000. This announcement[5] was made public on October 21, 2010.
Qualifying microenterprises are primarily for-profit entities. However, not-for-profit childcare centers are eligible to apply for a microloan. A microenterprise may owe multiple microloans at the same time but they cannot own more than $50,000 at one time. [6]
Microloans may be used for general business expenses [7] such as, working capital and tangible assets, such as inventory, furniture, and equipment. They cannot be used to pay the microbusiness owner, to purchase real-estate, pay existing debt, or for non-qualifying not-for-profit entities.
During the 1990s, the microenterprise field grew rapidly in the United States. Starting with a small number of non-profit organizations testing developing country models, the field now has service providers in every state, a national trade association (AEO), a growing number of state-level associations and financing intermediaries, and several research and policy organizations. The Aspen Institute and FIELD (Microenterprise Fund for Innovation, Effectiveness, Learning and Dissemination) has collected data on the organizations in the field since 1992. The first directory, in 1992, listed 108 organizations that identified themselves as working in the field. By 2010 this number had grown to over 800 organizations that provide direct services to entrepreneurs—either microfinancing or business development services.[4]
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI's), particularly Community Development Loan Funds frequently offer loan capital for microenterprises in the United States.
Anthony Hilb, author of 'Make Money with a Microbusiness' and founder of microbusinessowners.com states, "Microbusinesses have existed since people first exchanged goods and services in their communities. Today, microbusinesses can have a much larger impact; products and services can be exchanged at previously unimagined volumes, distances, and speeds. Credit here is due to advancements in technology. With the internet, apps, and other technologies available (often for free), microbusinesses will continue to explode in popularity."
Microenterprises in the United Kingdom[edit]
From information gathered from mainly UK Government sources between 2000-2013, according to the Enterprise Rockers Global Community, a UK based, Community Interest Company (CIC) created by Tony Robinson OBE and Tina Boden to support micro-businesses;
There are around 4.5 million micro enterprises (0-9 employees) which represents 95% of all UK businesses. There are only around 6000 Large (over 250 employees). The term SMEs for Small and Medium Enterprises is not used by the Enterprise Rockers CIC as 99.9% of all businesses in the UK are 'SMEs'.
Of the 4.5 million micro enterprises in the UK 3.5 million are sole traders/freelancers and just 1 million have 1 - 9 employees.
Micro enterprises account for around one third of the nation's private sector workforce at just under eight million people and contribute nearly a fifth to UK turnover. Micro-enterprises are a vitally important contributor to the UK economy.
70% of all businesses in the UK, including micro enterprises, would describe themselves as family owned
Up to 500,000 new businesses are starting each year with around 7 in 10 owners doing it because they want to be independent and be their own boss. Nearly two -thirds had previously been in full time employment. Around one in seven of the adult workforce are now self-employed or running their own business.
A third of those starting up had not consulted with anyone before starting their business and around 18% had consulted nobody but friends, family or colleagues. Of the half that got some formal advice before starting, most get it from an accountant and then the banks with only about 15% getting advice from a public advice/support agency
Nearly a quarter of the population aged 18-64 are either involved in entrepreneurial activity (11%) or are thinking about it (13%)
Men are twice as likely as women to be involved in entrepreneurial activity or to be thinking about it.
Nearly twice as many (15%) young people aged 16-34 are thinking about starting their own business than older people (8%) aged 35 - 64 but twice a many older people (16%) are currently running their own business compared with younger people (8%)
Eleven per cent of the 50-64 age group are self employed and running their own businesses
The 50-64 age group appears to be 40% more entrepreneurial in the South East or the South West of England than those in the West Midlands or Yorkshire and the Humber.
Just under 50% of all self employment in England is in the 50-69 age group.
Businesses that start off with the owner 50 or above have an equal or better chance of success as owners in other age groups.
Tony Robinson OBE's website also provides more survey results and statistics on micro enterprises. This includes information about businesses that grow beyond the micro enterprise stage. For example, a survey by Ernst & Young and London School of Economics into 500 of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs, which reveals that:
More than a third (35%) of UK entrepreneurs raise money from their own resources, 16% of these raise capital by re mortgaging their own homes. Other popular sources of cash are venture capital firms (28%), bank loans (20%) or personal contacts (18%).
The overwhelming majority (88%) of entrepreneurs started their enterprise before the age of 44, and 20% before reaching the age of 24. Nearly a third of UK entrepreneurs (30%) are involved in their second, or more, enterprise.
A little more than half (55%) of entrepreneurs have a university degree, but say that attending university made no significant financial difference to the success of their firm.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is the most likely person to be named as an inspiration or role model by UK entrepreneurs.
(Survey by Ernst & Young and London School of Economics into 500 of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs.)
Microenterprises in developing countries[edit]
In developing countries, microenterprises constitute the vast majority of the small business sector—a result of the relative lack of formal sector jobs available for the poor. Microenterprises in developing countries, then, tend to be the most frequent form/size of business. As explained by Aneel Karnani in the Stanford Social Innovation Review (summer 2007), "Microfinance Misses Its Mark":
Most microcredit clients are not microentrepreneurs by choice. They would gladly take a factory job at reasonable wages if it were available. We should not romanticize the idea of the "poor as entrepreneurs." The International Labour Organization (ILO) uses a more appropriate term for these people: "own-account workers."
Paper to Pearls is an example of a micro-enterprise, one that is based in the US and works with women northern Uganda.
The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) Vietnam country programme supports operations in 11 poor provinces. Between 2002 and 2010 around 1,000 saving and credit groups (SCGs) were formed, with over 17,000 members; these SCGs increased their access to microcredit for taking up small-scale farm activities.[5]
In Poland in 2012 were 1 710 598 micro-enterprises (1 784 603 all companies). They employed 3,5 mln person.[6]
Microenterprises and women in the Dominican Republic[edit]
In the Dominican Republic, a nationwide survey conducted in 1992 revealed that 330,000 micro and small enterprises created employment for 26 percent of the economically active population.[7] Furthermore, a significant portion of this is represented by women (38 percent).[8]
It is argued that the households of women are benefitted more by microenterprises because women tend to devote this income, proportionately, more to their households than do men.[9] Therefore, it is recommended that microenterprise training programs be less gender-neutral and should be diversified to address the central challenges of women's businesses.[10]

Most coaches dread Spring Break. A team's momentum can be broken as well as their focus.
ABS baseball head coach Bill Murrell knows this, which is why every year he plans a road trip to Tampa, Fla. where his team spends time watching and practicing as much baseball as possible.
Before arriving to Tampa this year, the Trojans first stopped at Geneva High School where they faced fourth ranked Geneva and 2A powerhouse G.W. Long. ABS continued their undefeated streak shutting down Geneva in the first game 16-0. In the second game, the Trojans couldn't handle G.W. Long's strong pitching and fell in their first defeat of the season. The team bonded over the next few days in Tampa before heading to Sylacauga to play in the Fayetteville 1A Classic. Athens Bible defeated Fayetteville, Falkville, and Cedar Bluff putting them in the championship game against second ranked St. Luke's. ABS struggled at the plate and fell 6-2, placing second in the tournament.
Murrell was very satisfied with his team's performance over the break, "The spring break trip went really well. We went 4-2 and we got to face some of the best pitchers in our class and one of the best pitchers in 2A. The two games we lost were good teaching tools for us, we learned from playing those games."
The Trojans will take those lessons learned onto the field Monday as they face area rival and top ranked Shoals Christian. This won't be the first time the two have seen each other, nor will it be the last. In 2008-2009 ABS defeated Shoals knocking them out of the playoffs. For the past two years, Shoals has returned the favor. The Trojans have come back this season fired up and are ready for Shoals. They hope to continue the success they've experienced this year against the Trojans.
Senior catcher Jacob Hagewood, starter for the Trojans since his eighth grade year, knows all about the Shoals-ABS rivalry. He, along the rest of his team, is looking forward to playing defending state champion Shoals Christian.
"Going into the game Monday we are real excited for our chance against Shoals," Hagewood said. "It's going be a good matchup and we're excited to get it underway."
Hagewood is confident in the team this year and ready to see what the second half of the season holds,
"We like our team this year and we like our chances."

Jackson Pollock
by AT
Action painting by AT in the style of Jackson Pollock
Paul Jackson Pollock was born in Cody, Wyoming, into an already large family. He was the youngest of five children, all boys, and his father (whose original surname was McCoy) and mother were both of Irish extraction. His father was orphaned at the age of three, and took the last name of his foster parents. Even though they were both raised Presbyterian, they chose to not raise their children with religion. Pollock's family moved a lot during his childhood, mostly due to financial problems. His eldest brother Charles left home in 1924 to study art. He sent home magazines about art, which some art historians consider to be Pollock's first encounter with art. Jackson went to stay with his brother in New York, in 1930, and decided to study art. He dropped his first name when he enrolled at the Art Students League in Thomas Hart Benson's class.
Benton would grow to be one of the many great influences to Pollock. Others would include:
Techniques/Methods Used
Jackson Pollock had a somewhat unheard-of way of painting, but the truth is, that the Chinese had been doing it for some time. Instead of using an easel, he placed the canvas on the floor, and painted from there. His style however, differed from the Chinese, in that he did not use brushes with the bristles on the canvas, but a stick, to sort of 'fling' the paint onto the canvas. When asked about his unusual technique, he said;
On the floor I am more at ease, I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around in it, work from the four sides, and be literally 'in' the painting.
Notable Paintings
Some of Jackson Pollock's most notable paintings include the following:
Jackson Pollock had a tremendous effect on modern art. A friend and patron once said about him;
Here I saw a man who had both broken all the traditions of the past and unified them, who had gone beyond cubism, beyond Picasso and surrealism, beyond everything that had happened in art...his work expressed both action and contemplation. -Jackson Pollock A Biography
Pollock stated that;
The modern painter cannot express his age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture. Each age finds it's own technique. -Materiality is the Message
Dripping and splattering paint on a canvas laying on the floor was Jackson Pollock's way to express his age. He expressed his feelings, his emotions, and what went on around him in his paintings, and did it all with a high level of individuality. His art can be recognized instantly, and, as one critic said as an attempted insult, "Forgery is impossible."
Pollock suffered from severe alcoholism. He had been receiving treatment off and on since 1937, when he went to see Carl Jung, the Swiss psychoanalyst and prolific author who explored the significance of universal archetypes of the collective unconscious. Jung's theories were embraced by the abstract expressionists. Pollock stopped painting during the last few years of his life, due to drinking, and because he didn't think he was touching anyone. In 1956, just twenty six years after moving to New York, he died there. In those twenty six years, he touched the hearts of many people with his paintings. His paintings, he once said, like any paintings, are like music; after you're around them for long enough, you get the experience needed to know if they're good or bad to you. -The Master of Drip

CLINTON — The new Clinton Middle School timeline has been tentatively pushed back by a month due to delays in construction.
A July 2014 completion date now looks more like a mid-August finish. However, the timeline won't be solidified until the building is enclosed early next year, according to Eric White, the project construction engineer with Estes Construction.
White told Clinton School Board members Monday the crews working on the new $21 million school have had 49 days of unproductive work on the site since beginning construction this spring.
"When we decided to do grading in the spring, none of us thought were going to have frost on the ground until the middle of April. None of us thought we were going to have a wet spring or a wet summer," White said.
Construction on the classroom portion of the project is four weeks behind, prompting Estes to work with the site contractors and stack trades to make up for lost time.
The school is expected to welcome sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students next school year.
White said while the project is expected to end in the middle of August, the timeline won't be firm until January when the building is enclosed.
Board member Jim McGraw questioned the pace of the work at the site, saying it didn't seem like a lot of people from the various trades were working there.
White explained some areas of the project have taken longer than expected and presented larger challenges than anticipated, which McGraw asserted wasn't related to a rainy spring.
"I think we ought to be realistic though and not blame it on the weather. Blame it on the contractor that's doing the job," McGraw said.
Board member Jack Wenzel raised concerns about the contractors focusing more on compressing the work they have left to do than on the quality of the work.

In February 2013, London's Halkin hotel will prepare for the launch of the first international venture from Juan Mari (pictured, right) and Elena Arzak (pictured, below right) – the feted father-and-daughter team behind Basque legend Arzak.
Three-Michelin-starred Arzak is one of the standout destinations of the gastronomic hub of San Sebastián – although it has a stellar reputation throughout Spain. The restaurant, which has featured on the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best List for the past nine years, and ranked number eight in 2012, has been in the chefs' family for four generations, earning its first Michelin star in 1974.
The London restaurant, called Ametsa with Arzak Instruction, will be the chefs' first outside their home country. Juan Mari and Elena will be instrumental in the establishment and running of the restaurant, which they will oversee together with the help of trusted colleagues Mikel Sorazu, Igor Zalakain and Xabier Gutierrez. Father and daughter have described the London project as 'a very exciting development'.
Ametsa with Arzak Instruction will mirror the approach of Arzak, which is founded on 'new Basque cuisine' (la nueva cocina vasca) – a groundbreaking style of cookery developed 30 years ago by 12 pioneering Spanish chefs, including Juan Mari Arzak himself. The movement was based on French nouvelle cuisine and firmly established San Sebastián as the culinary centre it is today.
Elena – voted Best Female Chef in the 2012 S. Pellegrino awards – will run the kitchen at Ametsa in the run-up to the restaurant launch and in the first few weeks of its opening. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether she will take on the role of head chef permanently, or whether she will help oversee the restaurant in a consultant capacity.
The dining room at The Halkin will be completely redesigned in preparation for the launch of Ametsa, and will incorporate elements of the chefs' Basque heritage alongside references to the restaurant's London location.
Nahm opened at The Halkin in the year 2000, and was the first Thai restaurant outside Thailand to win a Michelin star – although it lost that accolade in 2011. Nahm's gastronomic guru David Thompson plans to move to Thailand, where he will dedicate himself to running his other branch of Nahm in Bangkok – a restaurant that also features on the World's 50 Best List.

Interview with Fred van Kempen
Linux Journal: Lots of people know you for your code but there must be another side to you. What do you do for fun?
Fred: Apart from catching up my reading and sleeping every now and then (I tend to forget doing both of these...) hacking, listening to music a lot, and attending to family matters pretty much fill up my days. Hmm, perhaps people will now understand why my computers are named "metallica", "bonjovi" and such? (smile)
Linux Journal: When did you get interested in computers? What inspired it?
Fred: In 1984 or so. Our school has this huge IBM (The Computer), which had all of our grades and such stuffed away. I then decided I'd be a computer technician one day...
Linux Journal: When did you first start working with Linux?
Fred: Uhm, in October 1991. I just switched from a 20MHz 286 to a 25MHz 386DX, and a giant hard disk crash terminated the Minix system that was running on it. I then tried a number of UNIXes on that machine, and ultimately a friend dropped some disks with the MCC 0.96c release. It ran pretty well, and was quite fast, even on the slow 25MHz CPU.
I had seen systems like 386BSD crawl on it, so...
Then, after installing stuff like news and such (all ports from the Minix system, as I got to like that stuff for its being small and simple) I started reading news again, and found that someone was about to release TCP/IP for Linux. This was just what I was doing with Minix at the time, and I decided to stick with Linux at least until after I checked the TCP/IP stuff. That, by the way, was Linux 0.98.
Linux Journal: For those unfamiliar with your contribution to the Linux effort, describe what you have done.
Fred: Well, mostly system cleanups (the Linux kernel structure has come a long way since 0.95 or so..) and of course the networking code. After some ugly flamish messages on the network, the original Linux NET author decided to quit the project, and I took over. Since then, the Linux NET code has been vastly improved, and it made Linux a real operating system, capable of competing with other UNIX-like systems like 386BSD and such.
Linux Journal: Why did you decide to do it?
Fred: I have always been doing network-related things, even in the era in which I was programming PDP-11 computers in assembly. Taking over the NET effort was natural, as I was already rewriting major parts of it, with in mind a system, compatible with "existing standards" as much as possible.
Linux Journal: Did you do the work alone or did others get involved?
Fred: I started out on my own, but later on several people joined the team. Of course, having multiple minds work on code is usually good for the code, because each person has a different view. I think the current NET development team is one of the better network programming teams around.
Linux Journal: Who are the others? Does each person have a specific task or area of expertise?
Fred: The others are:
Laurence Culhane: SLIP driver author, pre-alpha tester (email@example.com )
Mattew Dillon: Tester, "skb" code debugger, general race-condition tracer, tidbits-tracer (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Johannes Stille: TCP-hacker. Johannes spent a great deal of time on improving the TCP module, and the results are very good. Also, a lot of tracing, testing, etc. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Terry Dawson: Testing, especially on slow (HAM) links which can cause very funny (ahem) situations. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Fred Baumgarten: Testing, race-conditions, Netstat system, HAM link testing. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Danny ter Haar: Testing the code, often with fatal results for his disks. We had some fun during the first set of "code cleanups" ... ;-)
Linux Journal: You are a ham, right? Does your Linux work and being a ham fit together?
Fred: Yes, I recently passed my US HAM test. Well, being someone highly interested in using and improving the art of digital communications over radio links, doing this on a system for which networking is natural is only a plus. The latest-and-greatest release of Linux Networking was designed to fit all kinds of networking experiments in an easy-to-implement way. As such, using Linux for HAM-like activities (meaning sending and receiving mail, talking to other people in general, exchanging knowledge and such) feels good. It's what made Linux in the first place...
Linux Journal: Does Linux work with AX.25 (amateur packet) code?
Fred: Yes. Right now, there are three ways to connect HAM equipment to a Linux machine:
Use the Linux version of the NOS software, either the WAMPES release, or the JNOS/Linux release. Personally, I prefer the JNOS code. This means running a user-level program, which handles all the ugly details. No kernel code is required.
Use the AX.25 kernel code currently developed by Alan Cox. This code works fine, but needs a modified kernel to run.
Use the new code I am writing for Linux. This is a long-term project, and right now, is only of interest for people who are willing to spend a lot of time re-implementing a set of horrible protocols. <laugh>
Linux Journal: Do you see a future for you and Linux?
Fred: Well, I certainly would hope so. I am co-owner of a US company which is trying to introduce Linux in the commercial market.
ARIS Technology, Inc (we usually call it ARIS, or even just ATI) is a small company located at the Technology Park of the Mississippi State University in Starkville, MS. It was founded by Dr. Michael L. Stokes, computer programmer and researcher at MSU's "Engineering for Research" (ERC) facility, and later I joined him.
ATI's short term plans are to consult with medium to large companies interested in bringing Internet into their business. We use Linux to do this when PC's will do the job because it will save money. As part of this plan, we will offer turn-key Linux systems through a local (Starkville) computer dealer. Longer term plans are to offer a commercial version of Linux based on Linux/PRO in CDROM, tape and diskette distributions.
This OS will offer a good stable platform for other commercial software vendors to support, and will support licensed software such as Motif 2.0, WordPerfect, etc. The distribution will be mostly licensed under GPL, though some custom desgined software will carry a license similar to SUN's (source code available free to licensed users for personal non-commercial use).
(ATI is reachable through the Internet at ARIS.COM. My address there is email@example.com, Dr. Stokes' address there is firstname.lastname@example.com. )
One of the advantages to this method of Linux availability could be that the commercial software developers, with all their great but usually DOS or "commercial UNIX"-based applications, may notice our efforts, and get interested in Linux as a platform to which they can port their products. Also, the fact that Linux is cheap has pushed many organizations and companies into installing it for business, fun or semi-personal use. After doing that, they usually find that a UNIX-like system, however cheap, needs a system administrator to keep it running smoothly. I think Linux created a lot of jobs in these fields, which is good...
Linux Journal: Do you have a vision of what the Linux community will look like in a few years?
Fred: Depending on what some of the recent Linux projects produce (I am talking about ELF/COFF, iBCS and Wine here), Linux users will either continue to be semi-hackers like now, who use Linux for fun (as there won't be any real applications) or standard things (mail, news etc.) or there may come some sort of shift towards the "business" and "semi-business" class of users, who use Linux systems for applications, like they would use a "any-commercial-UNIX-here" now. Right now, it is hard to say what will happen.
Personally, I think the Linux community will have to get used to (a) paying some money for the software they use (for example, shareware and commercial applications), and (b) a somewhat more closed development environment of the system itself. Many, many people will disagree, and exactly this program is what is keeping Linux from a major breakthrough in The Real World.
This really is a shame, because Linux has proved the fact that expensive, commercial software doesn't always do a job better than a free system. The only thing keeping the commercial systems ahead is the fact that they have the support of the third-party application developers, which Linux does not have.
Linux Journal: Thanks for taking the time to do this interview.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Heading into Friday's marquee matchup against Muscle Shoals, no one has to tell Cullman's players, coaches or fans how dominant the top-ranked Trojans have become.
If they happened to be part of the crowd that traveled north for the Bearcats' playoff game in Muscle Shoals last year, then they've already witnessed it themselves.
After the Black and Gold defense capitalized on a Richard Poston strip to take an early lead, the Trojans unleashed their unbelievable team speed, scoring 35 unanswered points and keeping Cullman out of the end zone the rest of the night to complete the blowout.
At one point in that second-round contest, Muscle Shoals' five-star defensive lineman Dee Liner broke free on the right edge, leaving a clear path between him and Zac Crocker. The 6-foot-2, 274-pound Auburn commit needed no time to close the gap, blindsiding the Bearcat quarterback with a flying squirrel-style tackle that might've hurt spectators just as much to watch as it did the signal-caller to experience.
Crocker would beg to differ.
"I still have some neck pains from it," the senior joked in reference to the vicious hit. "That's something I'm going to have to watch out for."
With nine starters back from 2011's breakthrough unit, Liner is far from the Trojans' only threat on D.
Outside linebacker Blake Logan is capable of wreaking havoc in the backfield, while Levi Fell has had an affinity for interceptions at cornerback. Add other lineman taking advantage of the increased attention Liner requires to the equation, and you get a defense that's allowed slightly less than five points per game through eight weeks.
One player who will shoulder the responsibility of trying to fend off Muscle Shoals' talented defensive line is Cullman's Jordan Van Gundy. The 6-foot-2, 315-pound senior said he's looking forward to the challenge.
"I've just got to make sure I'm always doing my job, always try to stay low and play the best I can," he said.
Crocker never has any problems placing his trust in his line, and he said that won't change this week, even with "a big monster on the line" breathing down his neck. The extremely accurate passer added the faith he has in himself and his fellow players has grown exponentially since last year's disappointing end to the season.
"It was a lot different than it is now because I have a year under my belt," Crocker said. "I feel like I have more confidence in my teammates, too, because I've played with them for more than one year."
After throwing three interceptions in last week's road victory versus Athens, the quarterback acknowledged the team must take better care of the football and limit turnovers when the Trojans make their way to Oliver Woodard Stadium.
"We've got to play our game of football," Crocker said.
All most folks want to talk about when it comes to Muscle Shoals is its out-of-this-world D, but it's not exactly safe to overlook this opponent's explosive offense, either.
The Trojans are scoring just over 41 points per game. Their lowest output this year came in a last-second 28-21 victory over then-No. 4 Hartselle.
Safety Trey Moon, who snagged his third interception last Friday, said the Bearcats are gearing up for Muscle Shoals' Wing-T offense, which is anchored by speedsters Tyler Jackson and Jamarcus Nance at running back.
"We've got to focus on keeping them inside and make sure everybody is on the ball," the junior said.
Only one team has given the Trojans a game this season, and that was Hartselle in the aforementioned squeaker. Cullman came up just short in the waning moments against the arch-rival Tigers in Week 4, giving Crocker every reason to believe the Bearcats can go toe to toe with Class 5A's No. 1 squad.
"They aren't unbeatable," he said. "Hartselle had them to the very end, to the ropes, right there. That was the same thing with us and Hartselle. I feel like we're better than Hartselle, and I know we should've won that game. I think we have a great chance of winning this one."
If Cullman manages to pull off the upset and Hartselle dispatches Russellville on Friday, there would be a three-way tie atop the Region 8 standings. If not, the Bearcats would miss out on their first region title since 2009, as well as a shot to host a first-round playoff game if the No. 8 Tigers beat Russellville.
With so much on the line, Van Gundy is ready to bring everything he's got.
"We haven't had a region championship in three years," he said. "It'd be nice to get back to there. Muscle Shoals is great. They're No. 1. It'd be great to beat a team like that."

"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
So, Paige was booted? I saved myself and watched Modern Family instead, which made me laugh in a funny way not in an OMG way like AI would have done.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
Paige deserved to go home. She actually sounded better in her sing off, but she hadn't had one single good performance. Simon is probably glad she's gone so he isn't constantly reminded of how stupid he was for thinking she had the best voice of the girls.
The song list for next week is up at Itunes. The Weight is on the list because Aretha Franklin covered it. I would love to hear Crystal do that, but she said she was going to do something really different. I'd like to hear Lee do Mustang Sally.
We're probably going to see some great classics butchered next week.
MJ wrote down the list here:
For Crystal I choose "People Get Ready" It is a beautiful song and perfect for her if she goes the Eva Cassidy route with it. The only thing is she said she was doing something quite different so that means I am probably way off base. Unless her idea of different is just no guitar and sitting on a stool?

Looks like DWTS Tuesday night's results shows at 8 will clash with AI's one or two hour comp. shows. I don't remember this happening before. ABC is putting Lost on at 9 and V at 10 pm. Hopefully this will change at some point.

Ethernet M12 connector has slim external diameter
Harting Har-speed M12 X-Code Ethernet line includes the Slim Design connector.
Harting offers a Slim Design for its har-speed M12 X-Code connector lineup developed for the type of Cat. 6A Gigabit Ethernet installations often used for machine and plant automation. The har-speed M12 Slim Design with crimp connection has significantly smaller in diameter and length than other M12 connectors and works in any application requiring an M12 X-Code connector, especially those where space is an issue, Harting said. The external diameter is only 16.5 mm to facilitate high integration density on devices like switches. The design features a robust housing capable of resisting torques greater than 1.5 Nm. It has Cat. 6A and EA transfer performance and is IEC/PAS 61076-2-109 compliant for the 8-wire Ethernet environment.
Harting har-speed X-Code connectors make it possible to deploy an M12-cabling system that meets the 1/10 Gbit transfer rates and performance class EA required for Cat. 6A in high performance applications designed to conform to IEC/PAS 61076-2-109. These X-Code connectors' new mating face performs two tasks: shielding in the connector area (shielded wire pairs) and the coding of the mating face, while ensuring fault-free plugging with other 8-pole M12 connectors. A connection error with other 8-pole M12s is impossible. The har-speed M12 features overmolded variants in different lengths and a crimp connector for on-site assembly along with panel feed through accessories and board mounted receptacles.
Harting products are said to work in almost all industrial markets with a focus on requirements for robust, reliable connectivity solutions. The Harting Technology Group, family owned and based in Germany, employs approximately 3,500 people globally across more than 40 subsidiaries and branch offices. With production facilities in Europe, Asia, and the United States, Harting connectivity products serve machine, device, and communication infrastructure. The U.S. plant in Elgin, Ill., is one of three Harting locations that manufactures the HIS product line (Harting Integrated Solutions/ back-planes) and custom cable assemblies. The company's core business is intelligent and high-performance connection technology.

Johnny Weir at a benefit in October, 2010. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images)
Johnny Weir -- the reality television star, connoisseur of avant-couture, eschewer of labels, fierce defender of flamboyance and sometime figure skater -- will make a pit stop in Buffalo on Sunday morning to sign copies of his new book "Welcome to My World."
In a one-hour stop beginning at 11 a.m. Sunday at Talking Leaves (951 Elmwood Ave.), Weir will briefly descend from his idling tour bus and greet what is likely to be a large throng of adoring fans. The stop was organized somewhat at the last minute, according to a Talking Leaves release , which also stipulates that "purchase of the book is required to participate in the signing."
Weir, for my money, ranks as one of the more fascinating pop culture personalities to emerge in the last few years. Like a lot of people, I think he initially struck me as incurably obnoxious but pretty quickly grew on me when -- in interviews and other TV appearances -- he emerged as a smart, engaging and insightful guy who nonetheless makes arguable fashion choices.
These comments, which Weir made after he was ridiculed during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, have earned him plenty of respect and have stuck with me and a lot of his fans:
The fact that he's dropping by Buffalo's Talking Leaves for a single hour, signing books, and then zipping out of town, is somehow very Weir. Catch him while you can.

Kyle Wellwood and Ryan Johnson to become UFAs tomorrow. No talks going on with Canucks. Canucks also intend to cut ties with D Willie Mitchell, also bound for free agency tomorrow.Those are tweets from Matt Sekeres. Sad news for me personally. I have been a fan of all 3, but Willie Mitchell mostly. Mitchell, according to Dan Murphy is progressing well in his training but still is not scheduled to hit the ice for 2 more weeks. I have no reason to doubt that a team will sign him to a cautious 1-year deal. As for Balls and Woody, I think they will find NHL homes too. Stay tuned. We will be covering UFA day(s) very closely and keeping you up to date, preparing to cheer when Demitra signs elsewhere.

NCEAS Project 2275
New Directions and Applications for Ecosystem Science in the Private Sector
- Lindsay Boring
|Further Information
|14th—15th October 1996
|Participant List
The key objective of the workshop is to examine the unique opportunities for the refinement of ecosystem concepts and their applications to natural resource management on privately owned lands. Privately owned lands comprise the majority of the land in the United States, as well as in most federal democracies of the world, but most past emphasis upon ecosystem applications has been focused upon public lands. Private lands require unique consideration relative to their focused management goals, diverse scales of management within constraints of ownership boundaries, and the processes and problems that traverse ownership boundaries within a landscape. Scales often preferred by ecologists for natural reserves or large publicly owned tracts, such as species ranges or watersheds, are inadequate by themselves. Private lands, and their diversity of ownerships, provide the challenge of working with very different concepts of open systems, linkages and boundaries, as well as with very different social and economic considerations.

Comcast Corp. has agreed to buy Time Warner Cable for $45 billion in stock, a deal that would combine the nation's two biggest cable operators, according to people familiar with the situation.
The boards of both companies have approved the deal, which will be announced Thursday morning, one of the people said.
With the proposed deal, Comcast /quotes/zigman/89307/delayed/quotes/nls/cmcsa CMCSA -0.63% almost certainly ends an eight month takeover battle for TWC /quotes/zigman/528868/delayed/quotes/nls/twc TWC +0.54% waged by fourth-biggest cable operator Charter Communications Inc. /quotes/zigman/121019/delayed/quotes/nls/chtr CHTR -1.46% and its biggest shareholder, Liberty Media Corp. /quotes/zigman/13637761/delayed/quotes/nls/lmca LMCA -0.79% , whose chairman is cable pioneer John Malone.
By negotiating the merger, Comcast Chief Executive Brian Roberts ensures his dominance of the U.S. cable industry will be maintained. But the transaction would face lengthy regulatory review.
Getty Images
Charter's pursuit of TWC, which began after Liberty bought a 27% stake in Charter about a year ago, had raised the possibility that Malone would emerge as a rival to Roberts. Malone once led the U.S. cable industry but sold his previous cable firm, Tele-Communications Inc. in 1999.
In the deal, Time Warner Cable shareholders will receive $158.82 a share in stock for their shares, about $23 a share above where TWC has been trading. Charter has made three offers, the most recent of which was valued at $132.50, all of which were rejected by TWC as too low. Time Warner Cable Chief Executive Rob Marcus had said TWC wanted $160 a share.

Business is harder today than ever before and with high unemployment rates and families faced with financially challenging times, a business owner must think carefully about how to keep their market share. There are day to day issues that must be dealt with in business, carefully think about each issue and determine a solution that will give you the best result.
Important tips to consider:
1. Always control your expenses in all areas of business to increase the profit margins. Inventory costs, labor costs, supplies, and all direct and indirect expenses. Everything can and should be negotiated. Money saved will add thousands of dollars in additional profits.
2. Sell your products or services many different ways: online, storefront, wholesale, trade shows, home parties, corporate sales, sales promotions and incentives, joint marketing, and on consignment to name a few.
3. Always add new products and services for business growth. Protect your intellectual property properly with copyrights, trademarks and patents. www.uspto.gov.
4. Listen to your customers and ask your customers what they want, they will tell you and give you new ideas that will inspire change.
5. To retain customers, make it easy for them to do business with you. Deliver on time and do what you promise. Go out of your way and do things that you normally would not do. Always exceed your customer's expectations and give them a reason to come back.
These are a few ideas. Please share other things that have worked for you?
Hi Julie,
Keep the good ideas coming…thanks!
Cynthia, Phil & Jessica:
Thanks for your comments back to Julie. She is a great addition to the blog team. A deep thinker.
Jessica, it is always worth careful consideration about when expansion makes sense. Research first "Does your client want shapeware?" Focus clients needs & whether there is a market. Then, decide if it makes financial sense for you to branch out.
So glad, you are adding to the dialogue. Thank you.
I wonder, and I'm not saying this because I know for sure, if expanding your products and services is a good thing. Sometimes a niche approach gives you that perceived expertise that will allow you to flourish in a down economy.
Your comment about on time delivery is good. I found that when we started shipping 'same day' or within 24 hours our customer service dropped by 80%. Saved us a huge amount of time.
This is great, congratulations for such a great initiative. I just found out about this Women SCORE Blog.
Julie, this is an excellent list, I wanted to add some detail to #5.
I also like to send out thank you post cards for each order. The cost is minimal compared to the customers response and loyalty.

Colour Multifunction Printer (CLX-6260FR)
Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung's behalf.
