I'm just curious if anyone has had any issues with Siri? I know some of my friends have heavy accents and am wondering if this will be an issue.
I'm just curious if anyone has had any issues with Siri? I know some of my friends have heavy accents and am wondering if this will be an issue.
There are some videos online of people with thick accents having difficulty, but in all the tests I've seen, it's been pretty forgiving....

I don't own an iphone 4s but I played around with it at the apple store quite a bit the other day. Even though I haven't really used it, it is better than anything that I ever used. With all the noise from people clamoring to get their iphone 4s, it picked up my questions and comments accurately. I cannot say the same for dragon dictation or Vlingo on the iPhone or Dragon on my PC at work even though the area I work at is very quiet.
Yes, Siri can have problems with picking up certain voices. My friends and I were playing around with it. It was really funny listening to it repeating us.
The Siri feature is very fun. You have to be clear when pronouncing your words. Nick, I'm going to have the out the videos of other people using Siri.
I think it would be odd to expect Siri to understand people with thick accents. It just doesn't seem like they could make it pick up both standard accents and something more unusual. The technology has to lock onto something, it has a certain definition of what each word sounds like. Maybe I'm not getting something, but that's how I was thinking about it.
Siri has been inconsistent for me. The system was down a few days ago so it wasn't working at all but recently it has been so so in trying to figure out what I am saying. What sucks for me now is when I say "Open the pod bay doors, Siri" Her reply is "sigh"
That hurts.
It is the same for me as well. Siri is also a bit slow for me. I think it is great and more accurate than the other voice recognition apps I've used but I wish it was a little more responsive. Of course, Apple is calling it a beta so I am giving it the benefit of the doubt.
I think the outage OpenDoc mentioned is a significant problem, nobody wants a feature like Siri to suddenly stop working. Hopefully they'll be able to avoid long outages going forward. As for the issues with voice recognition, that definitely can be irritating. However I agree that since this is a beta version, we really shouldn't expect perfection yet.
I would love to hear some of the stories about what Siri mistakenly thought she heard from someone with a heavy accent! I'll bet there are some good ones!

Past and present: balloons of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
A storm bearing down on the East Coast with a messy mix of snow, rain and wind is threatening to ground giant balloon versions of Snoopy and SpongeBob SquarePants in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The iconic characters that soar between the Manhattan skyscrapers every year may not lift off Thursday if sustained winds exceed 23 mph and gusts exceed 34 mph, according to city rules enacted after fierce winds in 1997 caused a Cat in the Hat balloon to topple a light pole and seriously injure a woman spectator.

Three people were arrested during a traffic stop on Monday in South Lake Tahoe after a routine traffic stop.
According to the South Lake Tahoe Police Department, the trio were stopped in a neighborhood near Pioneer Trail shortly after 4 p.m. after the vehicle was spotted driving on the wrong side of the road.
Officer Travis Cabral said the driver, Brian Morris, 30, of Sacramento, said he had no identification and gave a wrong date of birth. As Cabral was checking Morris' background, he said the driver grew increasingly nervous.

Controlled Entity Dividend Guideline
|Document Number
|Date Approved
|2 December 2011
1. Introduction
The University has established a number of subsidiary entities over which it exercises control. That control enables the University to govern the financial and operating policies of each entity for the benefit of the University in fulfilling its objects and conducting its functions. In the course of their operations, controlled entities may accumulate surpluses that are distributable via a dividend payment to the University. This policy sets out the University's requirements of its controlled entities relating to the payment of dividends to the University.
2. Scope
This guideline applies to all controlled entities of the University whose corporate structure enables them to pay a dividend.
3. Policy Intent
This guideline is designed to confirm the requirement for controlled entities to provide a maximum return on capital invested to the University in the form of a cash dividend. This policy also recognises the need for controlled entities to maintain sufficient cash for operational purposes and, where appropriate, future development and growth.
4. Relevant Definitions
In the context of this document:
Capital expenditure means expenditure approved by the controlled entity board for the purpose of acquiring assets to be utilised in the ordinary operating activities of the controlled entity according to the most recent approved annual budget
Financial year means the University's annual accounting period, currently ending 31 December
Future development requirements refers to the amount of cash that the controlled entity requires to accumulate or have accumulated at the end of the current financial year for use on operating or capital expenditure activities in future financial years. This amount, together with an outline of the planned future activities shall be described and incorporated into the most recent approved annual budget
Operating expenditure means expenditure on ordinary operating activities
Ordinary operating requirements refers to the amount of cash that the controlled entity requires on a daily basis for the conduct of its ordinary operating activities. It should generally equate to no more than the average total operating expenditure incurred in one month according to the most recent approved annual budget
Retained surplus has the same meaning as retained profits under Australian Accounting Standards and may also be referred to as retained earnings or accumulated surpluses. It is reported on each entity's balance sheet and represents the net balance of the entity's operating results achieved over its lifetime that have not been returned to the University.
5. Policy Provisions
5.1 Dividends
i. Prior to the end of each financial year a controlled entity shall declare a dividend to the University.
ii. Such dividend declared shall be paid to the University within 30 days of the end of the financial year.
iii. The amount of the dividend shall be maximised and be calculated using the Controlled Entity Dividend Calculation Schedule as the lesser of:
a. cash and investments held by the controlled entity that are surplus to its Ordinary operating requirements, Capital expenditure, and Future development requirements, and
b. the expected balance of Retained surpluses at the end of the financial year.
iv. In the event that a controlled entity seeks to reduce the dividend amount for cash flow purposes it shall request specific written approval from the Vice Chancellor of the University by providing:
a. A description of the reasons for a reduced dividend amount supported by operational and capital expenditure plans.
b. Relevant supporting financial information to enable the University to undertake an assessment of the entity's financial performance, position and cash flow requirements.

I hand quilt the full size bed quilts that I make for my grandchildren when they graduate from high school. When getting ready to begin quilting the 5th one, I decided that I would try basting spray instead of hand basting with thread, which is what I have always done before. My attempt was less that successful. The top looks smooth, but when I turned over to the back, it is not. My question for those who have used basting spray is: Do you spray the whole quilt, or just certain places, like when thread basting? I am thinking that may be where I went astray. If you do the whole thing, any tips you can give me would be much appreciated. I have already decided that if I use basting spray again for a large quilt, I will wear disposable gloves, since I had to use a pot scraper to get my hands clean last time. Grandmaquilter
I use it on both sides ,the whole quilt . BUt I will go ahead and pin it places .to keep it from shifting . I do pin all the edges and some of the high points I want to make sure don't move on me. I don't have to add alot but just enough to keep edges in tack .
I also use spray but still still a few pins in and around on the quilt.
Before I spray the backing I still clamp the backing to the table or tape it to the floor. I find that helps keep things smooth. Then I spray the backing---place the batting on--and spray the back of the top.
I pretty much do it Marlene's way, but I only spray about a third down, lay the batting on, spray another third, etc. Then do the top the same way. It just makes it easier to handle for me. I also use a few pins especially on the edges.
It really takes at least two people to baste a quilt, more if it is a big one. Lay down the backing, put the batt on top and put the top on next. Fold the top back half and spray. fold the top back in place and smooth flat. you may have to slide your hand inbetween the top and the batt to remove wrinkles. Fold the last half back on itself spray and repeat. when its smooth, flip the entire quilt and do the same for the backing. When the backing is smooth, flip it back and check the front again.
If you have one person on each side they can hold the fabric taunt and eleminate most of the wrinkeling. When I sprayed my king size quilt , we had four ladies, one on each side at the center fold and one at each side at the top. when you have some practice it goes very well.
If you google "spray basting a quilt" you will see some youtube videos with various ways of using spray basting. I find that it helps to see someone do something. I always use basting spray to baste.
I also tape my back down to a hard surface, makeing sure it is smooth then spray with basting spray and layer doing the same

Mon-Sat: 11:15am-9pm
Neighborhoods: Oak Road
Great Family Style Italian Place – Best family style italian place in the East Bay.
Excellence in Italian food – I personally know the owners. But aside from that their food is exquisite. And the service is outstanding with nancy the owner holding conversations with her guests.
Great food – Amazing salads and pasta
Great angel hair pasta! – I have been going to Tullio's for years and they are simply amazing! The warmth of the staff makes you feel like family and the atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for a romantic dinner for two. When I last went with my husband I ordered the angel hair pasta (which is my favorite of theirs). I don't know for sure but my guess would have to be that they make their pasta fresh because no where else have I had such a delicious dish, and I am known for my pickiness. Whenever I'm in the area I can't help but stop by, and once you go there you'll see why.
Tullio's in Walnut Creek – I went to Tullio's last weekend for the first time. We were with a large group celebrating a birthday party. I hate dining with large groups, HOWEVER, Tullio's had such a great atmosphere, menu and service it really made the whole dining experience enjoyable. The prices were afordable for EVERYONE, which is part of the reason why dining with large groups can be really annoying. There wine selection was affordable and they had a great selection. Everyone was really happy with what they ordered. They brough a complementary desert platter out for the table as well as when we were waiting for our table the host brought us all drinks on the house because our table was getting set up. Both really nice unique touches you don't get anywhere else in walnut creek. They made you feel like you were at home. I am definately going back.
Restraun t Review – Hi, I am writing this review for Tullio's in Walnut Creek. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the east bay. It has a great selection of traditional italian food. I love pasta, especially raviolis, and the ravioli pesto at tullio's is my favorite. I also enjoy the traditional spaghetti with meatballs....its just perfect. This restaurant stands out specifically because there really isn't another restaurant that does what they do as far as consistency and quality. Its just great everytime. I would recommend making reservations for groups on weekends as we have had to wait in the past. Also, I would also recommend keeping in mind the portions are huge. I sometimes go with the half orders. I hope this reveiw is helpful and I really do recommend you trying Tullio's.
great food, come hungry and/or thirsty – if you are looking for the best italian food in the east bay, I would go to tullio's. the food is wonderful and the portions are bigger than what your used to. the restaurant is owned by by a italian family that clearly takes pride in taking care of the people who come in and join them. they have great salads, fresh bread, giant well made sandwiches and all kinds of great dinner plates. but if none of that matters to you, they also have arguably the best pizza in walnut creek, an assortment of beers on tap, and many great wines. of course like any great place your going to have to wait a few minutes during peak hours, but everytime i come here with my friends and family we all have a great time, drink great wine, and have a great time. easy to get to off the freeway too.
You can get full on the salad just alone!!!! – Fantastic food and very friendly wait staff. Can't believe I haven't dined at Tullios since 1997. If you love Italian you'll love Tullios!
Best Italian in the East Bay – This place is fantastic. Food is amazing, service is amazing, portions are extremely generous. Best value in Walnut Creek. In a city that has really been taken over by corperate restaurants its nice to see a family run business making the chain restaurants look like fast food.

GM will begin the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of its Chevrolet Corvette with a special edition 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible, equipped with the monstrous 7.0-litre LS7 V8 engine of the Corvette Z06, and here are the first pictures of the model with a special cameo from one of its illustrious ancestors. During the transplant, the unit did not lose any of its 513 hp and 637 Nm of torque as the 6-speed manual gearbox of the Z06 as well as its Magnetic Ride Control suspension have been transferred to the Corvette 427 Convertible too. The combination of low mass and high output will make the 427 Convertible one of the fastest convertibles in the world, with a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of more than 190 mph (306 km/h).
The model uses 19″ wheels on the front and 20″s at the back, all of which fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tyres. Bonnet and fenders are made of carbon fibre, a material that has been used to build many other components of the vehicle, resulting in an overall weight of 1,525 kg (3,361 lb).
The new Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible can also be customized with the "60th Anniversary Package" - which will be made available for all other Corvette models in 2012 - which include a white-blue paint job (with the signature two blue stripes stitched on the fabric of the roof as well) and blue leather upholstery for the interior. The very first model will be auctioned off for charity at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson classic car auction. to find out more about the new Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible, check out the official press release after the jump.

I would be more concerned with condensation.
If the system is set up with air release valve there will be a slight hissing but that's about it.
I am about to have a water well installed. It is a 1-1/2hp submersible that will be 350' deep and located about 50' from the house. It will include a 120 gallon galvanized pressure tank but I am wanting to have the tank installed inside the house. The tank will be located in a closet next to the kitchen and living room, do these tanks make much sound filling with water that would make me regret installing it indoors in a location like this?
I would be more concerned with condensation.
If the system is set up with air release valve there will be a slight hissing but that's about it.
You also might hear a little air gurgling each time the pump starts. And if you are using the old style air over water tank because you have Sulfur or something stinky in the water, the air volume control might be letting the "stink" in the house.
Would the tank have much condensation if it was in a air conditioned space? I guess I could have it installed on a water heater over flow catch pan that drains outside.
I did not think about the air release valve letting sulfur smelling air out inside the house. I will question them about that. Thanks
About the condensation, it would depend on the temp of the ground water where you are. Here in Ct the water is about 53 degrees.
I forgot about the possible surfer smell.
Ask Valveman but I think I would recommend a Pside-kick.
Porky Cutter, MGWC
(Master Ground Water Consultant)
Put the tank in the garage, not the house. It will sweat in the summer time. Our GW temp is 67-72* here in SE Texas. Also have you considered locating the tank outside?
I am going to go ahead and place the pressure tank outside the house but about 40 feet from the well.

Crash brings caution against driving while fatigued
A man told authorities he fell asleep at the wheel traveling southbound in his black '86 Pontiac Firebird, which flipped on its top on Watauga Road Monday morning.
Ronald Clark Moon, 18, 247 Riggs Road, Watauga, was the driver. His passenger, Delia Guinn Moon, 42, was entrapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated by the Carter County Rescue Squad, which was assisted by the Watauga Volunteer Fire Department.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Officer Greg Marlowe said wearing a seat belt was the main reason the passenger escaped with minor injury.
Marlowe also said there were no indications of alcohol or drugs, and stressed that no one should drive while tired or fatigued.
Ronald Moon was charged with failure to exercise due care and violation of the financial responsibility law.

You weren't such a bad system, and you deserved the sendoff you got in top-ranked Florida State's dramatic, 34-31 victory over No. 2 Auburn in Monday's final BCS final.
Anyone being fair-minded acknowledges that the controversial BCS formula did its job during most of its 16 years. The system designed to pick the two teams to play in a national-championship game usually got it right, regardless of whether every fan base came away satisfied.
For 2013, the final season of the BCS, the formula clearly got it right. The two best teams played for the national championship and acquitted themselves in the Rose Bowl.
Florida State, the lone major-conference unbeaten and a team that dominated its schedule, won.
Auburn, one-loss champion of the conference that has produced the past seven national champions, didn't allow the Seminoles dominance. The Tigers led 21-3, lost the lead, regained it then lost it with 13 seconds to play.
Things might not have ended well for the BCS. If Michigan State didn't upset Ohio State in the Big Ten final, then the final game wouldn't have pitted the top two teams and might not have produced such a classic.
But that's the funny thing about the BCS. Most years, it somehow managed to get it right.

This course covers some of the fundamental concepts of modern computer graphics. The main topics of the course are modeling and rendering. In the modeling part, we will discuss how digital 3D scenes are represented and modeled. We look at Bezier curves and surfaces, B-Splines and NURBS, as well as procedural and point-based modeling, and learn how these are used to design complex 3D geometry. In the rendering part, we will discuss the basics of photorealistic image synthesis, i.e. how to generate a realistic image from a digital representation of a 3D scene. After introducing raytracing, we will briefly look at the physics of light transport, discuss the rendering equation and global illumination principles, and investigate advanced image synthesis techniques, such as image- and video-based rendering, appearance modeling and acceleration techniques.
At the end of the course you will be able to design and evaluate a rendering system. You will study the basic principles of geometric modeling and become familiar with geometric representations and modeling algorithms. In addition we want to stimulate your curiosity to explore the field of computer graphics on your own or in future courses.
Use the course forum (powered by VIS) for posting (and answering) questions.
Problems that you encounter might also be relevant for other people and if you have an answer it would be great if you
can share this with the rest of the class. We might also post comments to the exercises to the forum,
so it would be good if you'd check frequently.
The following topics will be covered through the semester. They will be interleaved with each other to provide a good balance between different fields.
Part I - Modeling
Surface Representation, Bezier Curves, Spline and B-Spline Curves, Tensor Product Surfaces, Rational Curves and Surfaces, Procedural Modeling
Part II - Rendering
Ray Tracing, Accerlation Data Structures, Shading Models, Appearance Modeling, Texturing, Rendering Equation, Image/Video-Based Rendering, Point Based Graphics
Programming exercise
During the duration of the course you will implement a 3D renderer that will allow you
to create realistic images using raytracing. This project will follow step-by-step the
material presented in class and you will incrementally add functionality to your program
and thus more realism to your images. Once the basic functionality is implemented,
you are encouraged to extend your program to achieve some advanced effects,
and play around with interesting scene compositions to generate exciting images.
Theoretical exercise
There will also be several pencil and paper exercises to remind you of the knowledge you should have been familiar with and to recap the important material which will be covered during the lecture.
General Remarks and late policy
Assignments will be handed out every one or two weeks and will be discussed in the exercise class.
Each exercise has a fixed due date at which all the required material has to be handed in.
The ONLY exceptions for late submission are military service or illness, both of which require written proof.
There will be a 2-hour written exam covering the topics from the excercises and the ones discussed in class. No additional material is allowed during the exam.
Fundamentals of calculus and linear algebra, basic concepts of algorithms and data structures,
basic programming skills in C++, Visual Computing course recommended.

» 12/4/13 - No obstacles
» 12/4/13 - Tori Murden McClure will be Division III keynote speaker at 2014 NCAA Convention
By Marta Lawrence
With its new online network, LittleEast.tv, and new mobile stream, LittleEast.mobi, Division III's Little East Conference is proving that big media is possible even with little-sized budgets.
Little East commissioner Jonathan Harper.
Because the Little East is located in a heavily saturated media market, Commissioner Jonathan Harper knew the chance of traditional television exposure was slim. So, he took matters into his own hands and launched the streaming site in 2008.
By the 2009-2010 season, 16 of its 19 championships were available free of charge. With the help of a Tier III grant from Division III, the conference announced its mobile platform in February, which Harper said is simply another way to reach their fans in the medium they want.
"Everything is moving toward the mobile device," said Harper, who watched one of the first mobile-streamed contests from his iPad. "Pretty soon everything we do will be on a mobile device."
Little East collaborated with its streaming partner, EZStream , to create the mobile platform, which does not require downloading an application. To view the mobile content, users simply log-in to LittleEast.mobi and select their device.
Anecdotal responses to the streams have been positive. "I received a lot of texts and e-mails from friends around the country watching," Harper said. He admits he was surprised by the high-quality available from his iPad. "It looked like I was watching from my PC."
So far, four men's and women's basketball games have been streamed to the mobile site. This Friday and Saturday, the semifinal and championship rounds of the men's and women's conference tournament will be broadcasted on both LittleEast.tv and LittleEast.mobi.
Harper said he plans to make all championships available. If they can get an Internet connection, he said, "We're going to bring it to you."
The good news for Little East fans is that all content is free. Although Harper said they may consider partnering with a sponsor in the future, he added "we're not going to charge to watch our contests."
As streaming becomes more ubiquitous and cost-effective, the Little East model could be applied to any Division II or III conference, Harper said. "It doesn't matter what division you're in now," he said, "technology is technology and it only behooves companies to be able to make it cost-effective for all of us to be able to use."

Indian Land,
At 521 BBQ, Boston butts are hand-rubbed with the signature 521 BBQ rub, and smoked for 14 hours on site. The barbecue you order in the restaurant today was rubbed and cooked last night! We do not re-heat or use leftover barbecie from another day -- every bite of barbecie we serve is always freshly smoked.
Baby back ribs are no different at 521 BBQ & Grill. They too are hand-rubbed with 521 Signature spices and smoked for several hours throughout the day. Upon ordering, they are brushed with our famous 521 BBQ Sauce and then grilled to caramelize and seal the taste. Superb!! You have to taste them to believe it!

Starting a New Student Organization
- Pick up a "New Club or Organization" Packet from Student Senate Office, located in 118 of the Student Memorial Center. This packet has all the information and guidelines for starting a new club or organization – if you have any questions please contact the Student Senate
- Fill out the Petition in the Packet. The Petition includes the Name of the Club or Organization, an Advisor for the Club (who also must submit a letter of recommendation), and a page where 25 people who are interested in the club must sign.
- Submit the Petition to the Constitution Committee of Student Senate. The Constitution Committee will review the Petition and, if everything is acceptable, will approve it. The Constitution Committee Chairman will then submit the Petition for the Full Student Senate to approve. If they approve it, the Club or Organization will go on what is called Temporary Status. Temporary status means that the club is recognized, and it may hold an account with Student Services, have a mailbox, and they may use campus facilities for organizational meetings and functions. Temporary status lasts one Calendar year.
- Submit a Constitution and list of current officers and advisors to the Constitution Committee within 6 weeks. The Constitution Committee will review the submitted Constitution, and if it is acceptable, will approve it. The Constitution must be approved by the end of the temp status period.
- After the temporary status period, the club or organization will go before the Constitution Committee for a review hearing. This hearing will consist of what the club or organization has been doing, and how it is contributing to the University. The Constitution Committee will then approve or deny permanent status. If approved, then it will be taken before the full Senate for approval. Once on permanent status, the club or organization may apply for funds or allocations

The BWC is critical to international efforts to address the threat posed by biological weapons – whether in the hands of governments or non-state actors. To remain effective it must of biological threats we face in the 21st century. Review Conferences (RevCons) meet to review the operation of the Convention every five years.
BWC Review Conferences
The BWC RevCon is mandated by Article XII of the treaty, plays a critical role in reviewing the treaty and charting next steps. The purpose of the RevCons is to review the operation of the BWC, relevant scientific and technological developments, as well as progress towards the negotiation of a convention to prohibit the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. Annual inter-sessional meetings of States Parties and Meetings of Experts are held between RevCons to air a variable set of diplomatic and technical topics before dealing with them more formally at the RevCons.
The first RevCon took place in Geneva in March of 1980. The second took place in 1986. Most recently, 165 States Parties gathered at the United Nations Office in Geneva December 5-22, 2011 for the seventh RevCon and set the course of work for the next five years. The final report of the Seventh Review Conference of the Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention is deposited at the official BWC website. The Eighth Review Conference is slated to occur in December 2016.

By Omar Akhtar, reporter
FORTUNE -- Panasonic is joining the growing list of companies, such as United Airlines and Sara Lee, that are leaving their suburban office parks and moving to the city.
The Japanese electronics giant is relocating its North American headquarters from Secaucus, N.J. to downtown Newark, N.J. It plans to move approximately 1,000 employees to the new $200 million office tower in the middle of July. The 12-story, 410,000 square-feet building is located a block away from Newark's Penn Station, which allows Panasonic to take advantage of a lucrative tax incentive package for companies that locate near mass transit.
Panasonic will receive up to $102.4 million in tax breaks from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority's Urban Transit Hub tax credit program, which requires it to not only be situated near a transit hub but also bring 250 jobs to Newark by 2016 and an additional 200 jobs within 10 years.
MORE: Where electric cars have no future
Panasonic's North American CEO Joe Taylor says the search for a new headquarters began in 2010, three years before the lease in Secaucus was set to expire. Management shortlisted approximately 40 sites across the country, including existing Panasonic facilities in the suburbs near Atlanta, Chicago, and San Diego.
Building an environmentally friendly headquarters was a top priority for Taylor, hence the need for a city like Newark, which had access to mass transit. "We wanted to be the No. 1 green electronics company in the world by our 100th anniversary in 2018," says Taylor. "If you're serious about being green, you can't have 1,000 of your employees driving in cars to work every day."
At the time, Panasonic was struggling financially, so moving to an existing facility to keep costs down made more sense. However, Taylor says he was aware that many current employees would be displaced if the company moved too far away. In the end, Taylor says it was easier to build a green building from the ground up. The new tower will be LEED certified and outfitted with Panasonic's own green technology such as solar powered devices and energy-efficient lighting.
Getting Panasonic to move to Newark is a major coup for mayor Cory Booker who along with New Jersey governor Chris Christie was instrumental in convincing the company to stay within the state. "We have a very assertive governor and visionary mayor in Booker," says Taylor. "Those two guys did a terrific sales job on me."
At a press conference announcing the move, Booker said, "Panasonic's arrival demonstrates a confidence in our city, in our workforce, in our infrastructure, and in our future. This is a monumental moment for Newark -- a true milestone in our city's rebirth and revitalization."

Not everyone was happy with the new development. Upset over the loss of a major employer in the region, Secaucus officials -- along with the company's former landlord Hartz Mountain Industries -- filed an appeal to overturn the tax award saying it was misused to shift jobs away from Secaucus. The appeal was later withdrawn, but Taylor says he understands why the residents were upset. However, Secaucus just wasn't an option. "We couldn't do a green building, and we couldn't have mass transit, and I would hardly say that Secaucus is a town in transition." He says the move could have a much more positive impact in Newark, a city plagued by high unemployment and crime rates.
There was also criticism that the state was paying too much to keep Panasonic from leaving, which Taylor says isn't true when you consider the benefits. "Even after the $102.4 million tax break, the state would net a total of $223 million," he says. "Just moving 1,000 people into the city overnight could create delicatessens, dry cleaners, and a whole infrastructure that would convince other companies to take a chance on this place as well."
Pete Kasabach, executive director of New Jersey Future, a non-profit land planning and policy organization says Panasonic's move will be good for Newark since it'll build momentum. "You're creating momentum that changes perception, it starts to change the tone of being downtown," says Kasabach. "Pretty soon other companies are going to think about opening offices here too since it already has a national headquarters."
