London-based house producer Maya Jane Coles has been quickly climbing to the top of the House Music world, and for good reason; from remixing A-list artists from Little Dragon and MK, to being hailed as "breakthrough DJ of 2011" by Pete Tong, to contributing to institutions like BBC's Essential Mix, her rise to prominence has been well-earned, and not to mention, impressive to watch. Recently, the pint-sized power-house released her first commerical mix CD for DJ-Kicks.
"I wanted [the DJ Kicks mix] to showcase my diversity," says Coles. "I don't just do one thing and I wanted it to reflect that. Most of the mixes I've put out there so far have been house based, but I also produce stuff under the Nocturnal Sunshine monicker, which is more two-step/bass influenced stuff. This mix evolved into something that wasn't just four-to-the-floor.
This eclectic mix is a contemplative journey through a multitude of tracks that span across the sonic landscape, enticing you with pretty trilling chimes, rumbling basslines and everything in between. Starting out with the muted synth chords and broken post-garage beats of 'Loqux & Past' by Deft, the mix gradually acquires a more rhythmic weight, care of tracks such as 'In My Cocoon' by Bozwell. Coles's own 'Not Listening' is a driving cut built on a pounding yet melodic groove and exclusive to this DJ-Kicks mix. Another Coles exclusive, 'Meant To Be', (this time in her Nocturnal Sunshine guise) marks the transition to a more shuffle-y, two-step-influenced passage. Coles' 22-track mix is genre-spanning, and yet, is unified by the earthy and hyper-sensory sound that has brought Coles to the heights at which she now stands.
As this mix proves, Maya Jane Coles is a true source of heat and light in an otherwise over-saturated, dreary musical landscape. Since Coles' star is only just beginning to peak up over the horizon, we know we can expect more of her light to shine upon us in the near future – especially since she is currently in the process of making a full-length album! We can't wait :) Don't miss Maya on her world tour!

Meet Shiny Objects. His unique blend of deep, techy house will distract you from all things in your life that are not fabulous. With tracks full of fat basslines and splashes of disco, his music will shine like a mirrorball on the dancefloor. The San Francisco native has been making music since 1994 and is the founder of the nu-disco label "Smoke n' Mirrors." His newest single "Just Fabulous" drops today exclusively on Beatport.
The release features the track "Just Fabulous" and three diverse remixes from producers whose unique sounds span the aural landscape. The original track will seduce you with its sexy, deep bassline and dark vocals that never let you forget just how "sensational" you really are. The luscious synths build gradually and are accented with dreamy trills and a dash of afro flavor; this loungey, airy vibe sets the perfect stage for a catchy 303 loop. Prepare to be lured to the dance floor.
The Eats Everything remix takes the original even deeper and with it's super-low Bristolian bassline. Eats brings his own distinctive sound to the track with high-hats that snap and clap over some ultra-funky, bouncing bass. Even the "just fabulous" acapella gets special focus from this UK producer.
Thugfucker, one of the vanguards of the 'new deep house' movement, bring you an appropriately deep'n'dark version of the original, whose relentlessly thumping bassline is countered by subtle, glittering chord progressions. This remix takes "Just Fabulous" deep underground, rubs it raw, and delivers it back to us in a package that is, well, just fabulous!
The Adnan Sharif remix jets the original into the stratosphere, pitching the track up for a little inter-stellar energy boost. As the original bassline grooves it's way through a chamber of echoes and filters, a lone Spanish guitar plucks out the main hook, adding some serious Latin spice to the original.
San Francisco's Miguel Migs is a man of many, many talents. A respected house DJ, producer, musician, and remixer and even ambassador for Absolute Vodka, Migs has worked with some of the biggest names in popular music, including Britney Spears, Macy Gray, and Lionel Ritchie, and still finds time to produce his own solo material.
Soon to be released are the remixes of his single "Tonight", taken from his highly acclaimed 'Outside the Skyline' album. The "Tonight" remix treatments showcase the sublime and delicate vocals of Meshell Ndegeocello with a tasty array of quality interpretations from Crazy P, Fred Everything, James Dexter and Wildkats.
• Crazy P drops a funky filtered bassline accentuated by a lush and moody breakdown section, layering warm pads and subtle horn stabs.
• Fred Everything brings the deep house heat catering respectfully to Meshells dreamy vocal with layers of smooth and effective chords.
• James Dexter stays true to the original version by using the main ingredients while giving it a more accessible, deep-disco dance floor appeal.
• Wildkats explore a darker, more stripped-down dimension on their rework by flipping the timing of the vocal pocket while a squelching bassline fills in the gaps.
Release date: May 15, 2012

Marques Wyatt, a seminal pioneer of Deep House music, is an integral artist on the Om Records roster. In the mid '90s, at a time when the shape shifting of house music was rarely heard outside Chicago and New York, Marques introduced the East coast sound to his native Los Angeles. In the ensuing years, his prowess as a talented DJ, promoter, and producer earned him recognition as one of the most sought-after artists in the genre, domestically and internationally.
In 1998, he began organizing epic weekly parties culminated in his weekly institution, "Deep," which continues to thrive today as an internationally esteemed sanctuary for house music lovers. Several of the finest musicians have performed at "Deep," such as: Timmy Regisford of Shelter, David Morales, Ben Watt of Everything but the Girl, Dimitri from Paris, Mark Farina, Miguel Migs, and of course Louie Vega, who plays multiple times per year. Marques uses the vast popularity of the event as a springboard for charity and social awareness via DeepCares, a non-profit division of "Deep" that organizes and sponsors purpose-driven events benefiting different facets of local and global communities.
Channeling a spiritual depth cultivated through meditation, prayer and yoga practice, Marques continues to spread the gospel of house music as an evangelist of music and "Deep" culture by globe-trotting everywhere from Los Angeles to New York, Shanghai to Barcelona and Tel Aviv to Dubai with the mission to bring musical unity and light to all souls in his pathway. This Om:cast was recorded live from a recent "Deep" show held in San Francisco.
Crazy P is viewed as one of the best live dance acts around and have been since they formed back in 1996. Their new album 'When We On' is being hailed by many critics as their best yet. Voted "Best Dance Album" by iTunes and hailed as "one of the albums of the year" by Mixmag, 'When We On' sees Crazy P blending their love of the dancefloor with beautifully crafted songs – all of which they recently brought to Koko's gorgeous stage just this past March.
We are delighted to announce that the British dance band recorded their live performance at Koko and will be releasing it as a CD, titled 'When We Live.' This recording is an exclusive collector's item with only a limited number being released and each CD being uniquely numbered. So, don't miss out on your chance to own this little piece of music history!
"Ghettos & Gardens" is the first single from Justin Martin's debut artist album on dirtybird records. The title describes the way this track rises up with beautiful sweeping melodies, almost to the point where you want to kiss the person next to you. But this epic euphoria can only last so long- it peaks with a bassline so tough, it'll push you down a staircase, and then steal your bus pass.
"Hood Rich" starts with a cascade of voices tumbling over each other, clamoring for attention on the way to the club. Those bold proclamations give way to the melodious tones of a string ensemble that would be welcome in Yo-Yo Ma's living room. And that's just the first minute. All niceties aside, a hive of bass bees smashes against the far wall and explodes, leaving no doubt that every booty will be dropping like DAMN.

"I chose to attend South Dakota State University for a few reasons. First of all, i decided that it suited me well both academically and for soccer. I am a biology major, but have yet to decide what I want to do after college. I knew that SDSU had many different paths that I could choose to go down, even if my plans changed. Sports wise, I really liked the team and coaches. The players were extremely welcoming and I liked their style of play. I knew that I wanted to play soccer and SDSU seemed to be the right fit for me across the board. Lastly, it was the right distance from home (four hours), and a medium size university, which I was also looking for!"

Researchers have found that parents with a lot of stress are more likely to head to a fast food restaurant or serve high-calorie convenience foods instead of making a well balanced meal. The study also revealed that Black and Hispanic children, children from single parent homes, and those from financially strapped families were more vulnerable to the effect of stress on their weight.

Trailing with just seconds left in the third period, New York's Brad Richards scored to tie the game at 2-2 and force overtime.
Richards' power-play goal came with just 6.6 seconds left on the clock, capping off a flurry of action around the net. With five Capitals nearby, the puck came loose from Washington goalie Braden Holtby and Richards fired it past him.
The Capitals took the 2-1 lead earlier in the third period when John Carlson beat Henrik Lundqvist for a power-play goal. Thanks to a late double minor penalty by Joel Ward, the Rangers will begin the overtime period with 1:53 left on the power play. The winner will take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Bickley & Marotta: Who Impressed, Who Depressed 2/24/14

Every Monday, Dan Bickley and Vince Marotta banter on who impressed and who depressed in the world of sports.
This week, Marotta has to tip his cap to the University of Arizona basketball team, who bounced back from a Valentine's Day loss to ASU by beating Utah in overtime and destroying Colorado in Boulder.
On the depressing side of things, Bickley shares his discontent with SB 1062 -- and how the mere introduction of this controversial legislation is another black eye for the state of Arizona.
Who Impressed/Who Depressed is a joint conjunction between AZ Central Sports and Arizona Sports.

It's been nearly a month since the Tucker's learned about the sudden death of their 18-year-old son. On Wednesday, toxicology reports determined Billy died from an overdose of a powerful form of synthetic marijuana commonly referred to as K2.
"It's killer, point blank, it's killer. My son got a hold of some and now everyone knows the results," Steve Tucker, Billy's father, said.
It's called Scooby Snax Potpourri and it looks very similar to regular marijuana and it's not illegal.
"Forms of the particular synthetic marijuana that was found on him when he was deceased can be purchased or is being sold within the city of Lincoln," Lancaster County Sheriff's Office Chief Jeffrey Bliemeister said.
Which makes it important for parents to know that just about anyone to get their hands on it.
"It's on the shelves right next to the counter, right next to the pipes. It's not illegal for your 10–year–old kid to walk into this store and purchase this," Tucker said.
Now, the Tucker family is on a mission to warn parents about this killer drug. One thing they stress is that Billy rarely showed any signs of attitude changes which is usually a symptom of drug abuse. The Tuckers said to pay attention to what your child is messaging their friends.
"Everyone knows how to spell the word light: l–i–g–h–t, you see it LGHT? Let's Get High Tonight," Tucker said.
The Tucker family is planning to hold seminars for teens to warn them about the dangers of synthetic marijuana.

Rebellion is a Heavy Metal band from Germany. It was formed in 2001 by ex-Grave Digger members Uwe Lulis (guitar) and Tomi Göttlich (bass). Their first album was a concept album about William Shakespeare's work Macbeth, and included spoken passages with members of the band and other people as the story's characters. The second album called Born A Rebel involved more standard heavy-metal lyrics – about motorcycles, metal, war, etc. – and the music was somewhat rougher. Viking Trilogy:

My ILP this year is at Drexel University. High school students can enroll in one course per quarter/semester through the Pennoni Honors College, and I am taking Russian 101.
My Russian knowledge is vast and deep. I can say such illustrious phrases as "That is a cat." and "Where is his magazine?"
Sarcasm aside, I love Russian. Though I can't quite read Dostoevsky in its original language, hey, I'll get there one day. I have mastered the alphabet! Almost!
I wander the streets muttering possessive pronouns, counting street lamps, identifying objects and greeting my imaginary friends.
I can count from один to десять. And backwards.
I can mind my p's and q's.
And I can say fuck your mother. Yeah, I have my priorities in order.

Summary — Georgia Tech found its offensive rhythm, cruising downfield easily. Anthony Allen plunged in from one yard out to cap an 11-play, 71-yard drive that used 4 minutes, 47 seconds off the clock. A.J. Edds intercepted a Josh Nesbitt pass and returned the ball 13 yards to the 15. Iowa squandered its opportunity to extend its lead, faking a field goal. Murray ran with the ball and fumbled out of bounds at the 12. The Iowa defense made sure it did not matter. On the first play from scrimmage Jonathan Dwyer was taken down at the one-foot line for a loss of 11 yards. The Yellow Jackets could not recover and punted from their own end zone. Iowa got the ball back with 4:54 on the clock, just needing to run the ball to keep the Georgia Tech offense off the field for a final time. The Hawkeyes added seven points with a 32-yard Brandon Wegher run and Murray extra point. Iowa's defense closed out the game with an exclamation point, forcing another third-and-out to end the game.
Key play — Broderick Binns' takedown of Dwyer inside the one-yard line set the tone of the final minutes of the game, pushing momentum solidly to Iowa.
Final score — Iowa 24, Georgia Tech 14.

Summary: Pretty much when I got this phone I loved it. This is my second one because it wouldn't charge or work. My phone constantly freezes and i have done a 5 hard resets today. This phone has turned crappy. My phone wont load anything. i would not recommend this phone for anybody due to the fact that once you get it, it works fine but having it for a couple months is starts acting up i absolutley hate this phone now. Nothing wants to work my sound card has gone out multiple times but occasionaly it will come back and am not happy with this product what so ever and this is my first smart phone over all i would be please with a iphone over this phone. Iphones have had better reviews compared to this phone and others. I think the most phones i would recommend is either the glaxacy s4 or iphones or any glaxacy by all means.

Summary: I absolutely LOVE my phone...My sole purpose was to write a review to actually include the camera in the PROS instead of CONS, I think the camera takes excellent pictures. They come out crisp, clean and focused...My only setback before purchasing the phone was the negative reviews about the camera, but I couldn't be happier with it...battery life is great, fits in your pocket perfectly, screen doesn't scratch easily, have had it almost 2 weeks, no screen protector yet and still looks brand new...Bottom line, it's a great phone, if you're on the fence, go with it!

Summary: Compared to my Samsung Alias, a basic phone, the RAZR had terrible reception, ran hotter, and had a much quieter maximum volume. As a phone, the RAZR was a major step down form a 4+ year old clamshell.
The RAZR's android experience was also lacking. My Samsung Galaxy mp3 player is nicer to use, despite running gingerbread. Verizon blocks some of the free Google services I've enjoyed on my Galaxy player- the gallery and camera on the RAZR only link to Verizon's own pay cloud storage instead of picasa/google+. This seems like a small gripe, but there were other little places the android experience was neutered by Verizon. Additionally Verizon pre-loaded pages of useless apps that are not delete-able, cluttering up the phone.
The phone is boxed up and heading back to Verizon. Good riddance.

Summary: Owned this new phone thru Verizon for 30 days and then one morning refused to turn on. Never abused or dropped, just completely stopped working with the black screen of death. Brought phone back to the Verizon store where they informed me it was "toast". No other explanation given, just received a "bad phone". While in use for 30 days, I disliked the phone keypad which resulted in many wrong numbers selected - perhaps a stylus would be better than my fingers but I found that to be quite annoying. I never got a chance to explore all of the phone's features partially due to the design not being user friendly and having to navigate back or hit home to start again. My overall impression was that I bought into the hype of all the positive reviews but believe I can find a better product and am still shopping

A "holistic clinic," that Specializes in Community Acupuncture, offers Yoga Classes"
Carolina Beach Community Acupuncture is located in Carolina Beach at 1140 North Lake Park Boulevard just across the street from the Carolina Beach Town Hall. They can be reached by calling (910) 202-4718.
By: Allen Denning
Staff Writer
Carolina Beach Community Acupuncture is offering invaluable services to the Pleasure Island area. A "holistic clinic," that specializes in community acupuncture, offers yoga classes and produces their own herbal remedies.
Now they are also happy to welcome Carolina Beach Massage Therapy as a wonderful new addition to the many ways they can help you to live a happy and healthy life. Lindsay Neese is the new owner of Carolina Beach Massage Therapy, located inside Carolina Beach Community Acupuncture. Lindsay has been a licensed massage and bodywork therapist since March 2006.
She completed a 900 hour program at Miller-Motte College and received her Diploma in Massage Therapy in 2005. Lindsay also received her BFA from East Carolina University in 2001.
Lindsay is currently teaching Massage Therapy part-time in Wilmington, NC and running her practice, Carolina Beach Massage Therapy. She enjoys the combination of working with her clients and students to encourage & nurture a healthier lifestyle. Depending on the needs of each client, one or many of the different bodywork modalities are included into a treatment, such as; Swedish, Deep Tissue, Pre-natal, Hot Stone Therapy, Reflexology, Energy, Aromatherapy and integrating most into a session.
Carolina Beach Community Acupuncture offers acupuncture treatments to help resolve a variety of issues including but not limited to Pain Conditions, Sports Acupuncture, Fertility, Women's Health Concerns, Internal Conditions, Pregnancy and Pediatrics. "Most US acupuncturists treat patients on tables in individual cubicles. This is not traditional in Asia, where acupuncture usually occurs in a community setting. In our clinic we primarily use recliners, clustered in groups in a large, quiet, soothing space. Treating patients in a community setting has many benefits: it's easy for friends and family members to come in for treatment together; many patients find it comforting; and a collective energetic field becomes established which actually makes individual treatments more powerful. In some styles of acupuncture, the needles are removed after only a few minutes or after a half hour at most. The style of acupuncture we practice at CBCA allows patients to keep their needles in as long as they want, and the "right" amount of time varies from patient to patient. Most people learn after a few treatments when they feel "done"; this can take from twenty minutes to a couple of hours! Many people fall asleep, and wake feeling refreshed."
Jeremy Linquist leads the team at Carolina Beach Community Acupuncture. "Jeremy graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Masters of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. He extended his studies at the Chengdu University Hospital in the Sichuan Province of China. He has treated patients at the UCSD Sports Medicine RIMAC Center, Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, Vietnam Veterans Stand-Down, San Diego's Seniors' Clinic, and San Diego Hospice. During his four-year attendance at Pacific College, Jeremy served as Student Council President. He gained comprehensive and direct experience as an assistant to Matt Callison, L.Ac., a world-renowned sports acupuncturist and also for Karen Sulger, L.Ac. at the Acupuncture Continuum. His 3-year apprenticeship at the Acupuncture Continuum gave Jeremy experience treating orthopedic injuries, acute and chronic pain, male and female infertility, as well as a broad range of internal conditions."
Also at Carolina Beach Community Acupuncture you will find Treayor Smith L.Ac., MSTOM. "Treayor studied at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (PCOM) in Chicago, Illinois. He has been studying and performing acupuncture since 2008. He was licensed in North Carolina in 2011, and is a member of the North Carolina Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He uses various styles of acupuncture. He was trained primarily in TCM, and uses the balance method, motor point needling, scalp acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, and various others through his self study. He owes his acupuncture success in the clinic to his teachers Marie France-Collin, L.Ac. and Ziv Greenfield, L.Ac. for pushing him. His orthopedic acupuncture training was taught by Dave Vavrinchek, L.Ac. He has done internships in pediatrics, orthopedics, and with HIV patients at Project VIDA in Chicago, Il. He also participated in the "Great American Smoke-out" giving free auricular acupuncture to people trying to quit smoking. Treayor is also trained in the art of herbal medicine. Much of his studies are with traditional TCM herbal prescriptions, but he has an emphasis on Shang Han Lun style herbal prescriptions, and Oncology herbal treatments. His philosophies on eastern nutrition are due to the influence of Mitch Harris, L.Ac. who helped him understand that what you eat is medicine you will never have to take any pills, or fall ill with the proper diet. He enjoys treating a wide variety of patients and plans on never retiring. He feels very fortunate to have found a career where he can help people, and make an honest living for a very long time. His current track record of patients have come to him with menopause symptoms, thyroid problems, orthopedic, and emotional issues. He has treated a number of athletes including Olympians, and world champions."
One of the best things about Carolina Beach Community Acupuncture is that they offer their community acupuncture sessions on a sliding payment scale that range from $20-$40. "The purpose of our sliding scale is to separate the issues of money and treatment; we want you to come in often enough to really get better and stay better! We understand that everyone's situation is different, and our primary goal is to make acupuncture available to you as often as you need it."
Carolina Beach Community Acupuncture is located in Carolina Beach at 1140 North Lake Park Boulevard just across the street from the Carolina Beach Town Hall. The acupuncture clinic is open on Mondays from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 pm. (Treayor), on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 pm. (Linquist), on Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 pm.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is the best SQL Server yet
Microsoft's 'Katmai' gives both big shops and small shops reasons to make the upgradeFollow @infoworld
Processes is really just the same sys.sysprocesses table that DBAs are used to, but with a GUI that makes it a little more user-friendly than a manual query. You can easily filter data that you want to see, which makes for easy troubleshooting, especially when you're looking for a specific user or blocking process. One beef: Although you can rearrange the columns in the display, the order doesn't persist, so the next time you open the Activity Monitor, you'll be arranging your columns again.
The recent expensive queries drill-down is almost completely pointless. Does it give you the most recent expensive queries? Yes, it does. Does it give you important stats on these queries such as CPU, number of reads and writes, average duration, and plan count? Absolutely. Does it tie these stats to a user so that you can tell who or what is performing these offending actions? No. What is a DBA supposed to do with that?
One thing you get from the GUI drill-downs that you don't get from their manual counterparts is auto-refresh. You can configure your refresh rate, but here again, your changes don't persist. A bigger issue is being able to collect the performance data you want within the refresh period. This can be a problem on busy systems that collect a lot of performance data.
For example, if you have dozens of data files on your system, it could take longer than the 10-second default refresh rate to pull the data file I/O data. And while you can increase the refresh interval to, say, one minute, the CPU graph will be refreshed only once per minute as well. Unfortunately, you can't set different refresh intervals for different monitors. It's one size fits all.
For all that it tries to be, I have to give the Activity Monitor a thumbs-down, or at least a thumbs-sideways. In its current form, it's just not useful enough to do DBAs much good. Not only did it take too long to give me the info I needed, but the info was so sketchy that I needed another tool to complete it. If I'm going to look at CPU, I'm immediately going to want to see memory and disk. And as long as I have to go somewhere else for those other metrics, I might as well get CPU there too. Sorry Microsoft, better luck next time.
Resource Governor
Microsoft touts the new Resource Governor as one of the biggest enhancements in this release, and there's no question it will come in handy for shops that want to keep some processes from interfering with others. For example, one of the best fits for a resource governor would be on an OLTP system where you're forced to run reports against live OLTP data. You don't want the reports to get in the way of transactions, so you would push them to a group that caps their resources.
Still, this is Microsoft's first stab at granular resource management, and while it's a nice start, it's not going to be as immediately useful as many shops hope. First of all, you can specify only two resource measures to define a resource group: CPU and memory. You can specify min and max values for each one, but that's not nearly enough to define a rogue process on a busy system. Rogue processes take many forms, and capturing them requires additional metrics (number of I/Os, amount of time, etc.) beyond CPU and memory usage.
Further, once you define a process to be in a particular resource group, it stays there. Misbehaving queries cannot be moved dynamically to a different group, as you can do in Oracle Database. In order to assign a query to a different resource group, you would have to kill the process, assign it to the group, and then restart the Resource Governor. Something tells me you won't want to do that often on a really busy system.

Starks will miss his second straight game because of an ankle injury and Brandon Saine is out after sustaining a concussion, leaving the Green Bay Packers with only two running backs for Sunday's game against Kansas City.||||||| Make sure to get Starks on the bench before its too late. Even if healthy, he makes for a poor play against the Chicago Bears in Week 16.
Starks was active for Thursday's game against the Lions. He was listed as questionable with knee and ankle injuries after he was hurt late in last week's win against Tampa Bay.||||||| Coach Mike McCarthy said the decision would be made before the game. Starks, the team's top rusher, was listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in a short walk-through session Wednesday. Starks suffered a sprained knee and an ankle injury in the final minutes of the win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. He was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, the only extensive on-field work the Packers had this week.
Starks has a sprained knee and a sore ankle, leaving his availability in doubt for the Green Bay Packers' game at Detroit on Thanksgiving Day.||||||| Starks hurt his knee late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay. The Packers did not practice Monday, but Starks likely would not have been able to go if they did. Packers coach Mike McCarthy says the injury isn't as bad as it appeared to be initially, and is holding out hope that Starks might be able to practice Tuesday.
Starks led the Packers in rushing Sunday in a 45-38 win over the Chargers.||||||| He had 66 yards on 13 carries and one reception for nine yards.

A jet fuel spill at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport forced the evacuation of two businesses while crews cleaned up the mess Monday morning.
The 200-gallon spill happened about 7 a.m. while the fuel was being loaded into a container and it overflowed onto the tarmac, according to Forrest Smith of the Mesa Fire Department.
Smith said the evacuations were precautionary and that no one was injured.
He said fire crews provided protection for the cleanup crews.
Airport operations were not disrupted, Smith said.
The spill took slightly more than two hours to clean up.
No other information was immediately available.

The University of Maine Intermedia MFA program is pleased to announce the 9th annual With Out Borders Festival and Thesis Exhibition titled "Making Matters," which begins August 10, 2012 and runs through September 28, 2012. The opening reception is planned for September 7, 2012 from 5:00 – 7:30 pm at the Lord Hall Gallery. This exhibition features the culmination of research and creative practices of ten graduating MFA students. For more information on the With Out Borders Festival or on the individual artists represented in this show please visit: http://www.withoutbordersfest.org/2012/.
The Masters of Fine Arts in Intermedia at the University of Maine provides substantial advanced study for individuals interested in interdisciplinary study in the arts. The program emphasizes intensive development of students' creative and innovative abilities through a diverse engagement with multiple research processes, critical thinking skills and creative production tools and technologies.
Beginning in 2004, w/o borders festival has brought together graduate students and professional artists from around the world. This year, the festival is comprised solely of students – representing a wide range of media and material. The 2012 graduating class includes Carol Ayoob, Sarah Cotrell, Gabriella D'Italia, Resse Inman, Kat Johnson, Jessica Moulton, Heather Small, Dennis St. Pierre, and Pieter Tryzelaar.
For contemporary artists the question of the nature of experience, whether it is grounded in a concern for moral, ethical, social, aesthetic, or economic issues drives their engagement in a wide variety of media and topics. This exhibition includes intermedial work that engages with elements as diverse as food, economics, gender, technology, housing, philosophy, spirituality, identity, memory, and health. The choice of materials by these artists and performers suggest, and even calls for, a direct participation, seeking to engage the public in new ways to transform their perceptions and thoughts. The creative producers included in Making Matters come from a variety of backgrounds: community building, painting, fabric design, performance, culinary arts, graphic design, computer technology, acting, book-making, and farming, but all engage a territory of fluid, process-based action and reflection and seek to establish a means of working and living that gives meaning to their lives and the lives of others. The aims of this work is to get us to think and act in the new spaces and roles in which we find ourselves in the changing world of the 21st century.

Structures: an exhibition of recent work by Matt R. Foster. A graduating senior with a BA in Studio Art from the Department of Art at the University of Maine, Matt Foster's work explores the fundamental desires of freedom, love, and growth. His work focuses on parallels, between these essential needs and the artist's motivation to create and grow with and through creative practice. In this sense, Foster sees each of his works as a form of self-portraiture, as a reflection upon the experiences of his life.
Art of the 80s, represents a wide spectrum of American art created in the 1980s. Featuring images on paper, the show includes works by Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Louisa Chase, Chuck Close, Sol Lewitt, Susan Rothenberg, Mimmo Paladino, Elizabeth Murray, Gregory Amenoff, Nancy Graves, Charles Garabedian, Judy Pfaff and Robert Rauschenberg. With works from the University of Maine Museum of Art collection, the exhibition was curated to coordinate with the upcoming Poetry of the 1980s conference to be held on the UM campus, June 27-July 1. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Department of Art, the University of Maine Museum of Art and the National Poetry Foundation.
Presenting an overview of the research and creative accomplishments of featured studio, art education and art history faculty, the 2011-2012 Department of Art Faculty Exhibition included work by David Boffa, John Eden, Kerstin Engman, Wayne Hall, Laurie Hicks, Andy Mauery, Ronald Nadeau, Owen Smith, Alan Stubbs, and Nina Sutcliffe.
Drawing On, held, October 12 – November 18, 2011, an exhibition of drawings by eight Maine artists, presented work drawn directly on the walls of the Lord Hall Gallery. Working over the course of two weeks, the artists created an environment of unique but temporary drawings that focused on the immediacy of the drawing process as well as the impermanent nature of artistic forms.
The artists in Drawing On included David Allen, Kathleen Florance, Susan Groce, Orson Horchler, Reese Inman, Nina Jerome, James Linehan, and Ed Nadeau.
This exhibition was part of Where to Draw the Line: The Maine Drawing Project, a statewide visual arts initiative, developed by the Maine Curators Group, which represents a unique collaboration between Maine's arts organizations. During 2011, museums and galleries across the state offered exhibitions that focused on the process of drawing and how artists use it as a vehicle for creating diverse forms of visual expression.

What's Your Responsibility to Employees?Judy Fishman · The Way I See It · The Way I See It · June/July 2014
One of the reasons lab owners prefer to fly solo is that they have no appetite for dealing with the challenges that come with personnel management.
There's no doubt that more people mean more issues. However, there are also as many, if not more, positives for having employees, key among them is that they play a critical role in a business's ability to grow and prosper.
Listening to recent news discussions for or against raising the federally mandated minimum wage to $10.10 has me wondering: What do you feel your responsibility is to your employees? What obligations do you feel you have...

Somehow, someway, the Stars are holding onto first. In a week where they went 1-1-1, scored an own goal and generally had trouble putting pucks in the net, the Texas Stars are the top team in the American Hockey League at this moment.
They will retain the best record in the West for at least the next few days as a three point separation between themselves and the Charlotte Checkers (Carolina Hurricanes) ensures it.
Coach Desjardins is making the best of a lineup held together with baling wire and perhaps a good bit of ACE bandage tape. Currently the Stars are missing Scott Glennie, Colton Sceviour and Travis Morin on injury. Sceviour and Morin represent 47 points and a combined 1.5 points per game.
"It makes a difference for sure how much you've played [together] and the confidence of guys in their positions," said Coach Desjardins. "When we get all our guys back, it definitely helps us."
Until then, Texas has been aided by the emergence of a new first line. Justin Dowling, an ECHL signing, centers Mike Hedden, an AHL only player who can play anywhere in the lineup, and Alex Chiasson, who has started to show the skill that led to his draft selection in the second round of 2009. Chiasson has 13 points in his last ten games. He is being trusted with more important minutes and showing that Coach Desjardins is right for calling on him.
He is probably going to spend the rest of the season in Texas but is on the cusp of pushing for a spot in Dallas in September.
Bizarre Goal Hands Texas 2-1 Loss in Hamilton
The Texas Stars fell to the Hamilton Bulldogs (Montreal Canadiens) Saturday in Ontario thanks to a bizarre goal and overall lack of offense. Texas scored a second period goal from Luke Gazdic but also put one in their own net on a delayed penalty. Alex Chiasson's pass to the point skipped past Carl Sneep and into the vacated net for the 1-1 tie. A third period goal sealed things as Texas couldn't find the net again despite outshooting the Dogs 37-23.
Jack Campbell took the loss but certainly deserved a better fate. He had some sparkling stops on three breakaways in the game. Technically, he only allowed one of the goals. He stopped 21.
Texas Bounces Back with 3-2 Win Over Toronto
Alex Chiasson scored the Stars' first goal and had assists on the second and third as his line powered Texas to a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Marlies (Toronro Maple Leafs) Sunday afternoon. Linemate Mike Hedden had a goal and two assists as well and Justin Dowling scored his sixth of the year as the Stars bounced back from their first back-to-back losses since Christmas.
The Stars had to be in top form on their penalty kill as they stopped seven Marlies' power plays in the game. Cristopher Nilstorp got his second start since assignment from Dallas and stopped 23 of 25 in the game.
Power Play No Help To Stars In 2-1 SO Loss
After a solid outing in Toronto, the Stars struggled to find the net at home, losing a 2-1 game in the shootout to the South Division rival Houston Aeros (Minnesota Wild). The Stars scored the first goal off the stick of Patrick Nemeth but allowed a shorthanded goal and fell 3-1 in the shootout.
Texas squandered a large man-advantage opportunity early in the game. In the last meeting between these teams, Mike Hedden put a hit on Paul Mara that was not penalized in game but earned Hedden a one-game league suspension.
Just twenty seconds into the game, Mara slashed Hedden and then tried to fight him. The Texas winger wouldn't give in and Mara earned a rare 7-minute penalty, two for slashing and five for fighting. He also picked up a ten minute game misconduct.
"We struggled on the power play," said Patrick Nemeth. "I think you've got to score on a seven minute power play."
The Week Ahead
The Stars get a chance for sweet revenge on the Oklahoma City Barons (Edmonton Oilers) this weekend at home. After much of their high-powered offense went to Edmonton when the lockout ended, the Barons have struggled. The Stars have to hope that they can get four point out of the two game weekend set Friday and Saturday.
Injury Report
Travis Morin briefly came back from injury but was boarded in the Rockford game and has been out since. Scott Glennie is out with a hand injury. Colton Sceviour was injured against Toronto and missed the Stars' game against Houston. Luke Gazdic missed a single game this week with an injury from blocking a shot but has come back since.
