Description The present invention relates to data warehousing and in particular to techniques for modeling information quality and maturity within information repositories. Organizations have become increasingly dependent on information collection and analysis in today's information age. Information gathering use to be done, if at all, primarily on print media filed in various physical locations, thus making data collection and subsequent analysis a process fraught with errors and manually intensive. Today information collected on traditional print media is likely converted into various usable electronic forms and stored in an information repository. In an effort to facilitate better information collection and analysis a variety of vendors have provided software and hardware services for collecting, storing, and analyzing information. For example, a data warehouse assimilates and indexes information from a variety of disparate information repositories (e.g., electronic files, databases, and the like) to present a single organizational view of information. The true value of an organization's data warehouse or information repository, however, depends on information quality (e.g., collection accuracy, types and variety of data, time coverage of data collected, and usable structure of data). Value also depends on information maturity. Information maturity can be viewed as error free and robust information having an up-to-date electronic structure with information needed by an organization to maximize the organization's internal knowledge base about its business. Accordingly, the traditional phrase �garbage in garbage out� still applies in the information industry. Organizations and the economy are continually evolving with the ever changing market. Therefore, organizations find it extremely challenging to continuously improve the quality and maturity of their legacy information because of their limited organizational time, capital, and resources. As a result, many organizations are not aware of the true value in improving the quality and maturity of their information, since taking on such an exercise appears on the surface to be painfully expensive and time consuming. Therefore, there exist a need to provide techniques for automatically modeling information quality and maturity. With such techniques, organizations can practically and efficiently analyze, plan, and move their information quality and maturity from a current state to a more desirable state. In various embodiments of this invention teach modeling information quality and maturity. More specifically, and in one embodiment, a provided method models information quality and maturity. Quality metrics, levels of maturity, and quality capabilities are associated with one another. Further, an information quality map is provided, the map represents the quality metrics, the levels of maturity, and capabilities integrated and linked with one another on the map. In still another embodiment of the present invention, another method to model information quality and maturity is taught. A service is used for accessing an interactive information modeling tool. Sets of three information quality metric values are provided to the information modeling tool based on metric variables defined in the information modeling tool. Moreover, a visual map is received from the service depicting an information quality current state for an information repository based on the provided values. In another embodiment of the present invention, an information modeling system is presented. The information modeling system includes an information modeling tool and an interface for interacting with the information modeling tool. The information modeling tool models information quality and maturity for an information repository. The interface is used for providing information quality metric values for a current state of the information repository. Furthermore, the information modeling tool uses the information quality metric values to produce a map representing the current state. In yet another embodiment of this invention, an information modeling data structure residing on a computer-accessible medium is provided for modeling information quality. The data structure includes quality metric variables, quality level values, and quality capability values. Sets of three metric values that are assigned to three of the metric variables are uniquely associated and linked with three of the quality level values and a single quality capability value. Still other aspects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description of various embodiments. As will be realized the invention is capable of other embodiments, all without departing from the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and not intended to be restrictive. In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical, optical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. In various embodiments of this invention, information includes electronic data. The electronic data further includes values and labels, fields, or variables associated with identifying specific data values. For example, a piece of information can include a data field or variable definition �name,� and another piece of that information can include a data value �Ron.� An Information repository houses the information from any storage location (e.g., electronic files, databases, data warehouses, and others). In one embodiment, the information resides in the Teradata warehouse, distributed by NCR Corporation of Dayton, Ohio. Of course, other types of information repositories can be used with the teachings of embodiments for this invention. An information quality metric describes objective attributes about information. In one embodiment, quality metrics represent twelve objective attributes. A �functionality� attribute describes to what extent the information provides functional capabilities to meet the needs of an organization. An �integrity� attribute describes the extent of security being applied to that information. �Sufficiency� indicates whether the information includes enough electronic data needed to meet an organization's needs. �Usability� includes objective descriptions as to how easy the information can be consumed. �Contextual� attributes represent whether all pertinent electronic data presents itself within the information. A �complexity� attribute describes the level of detail included within the information. �Responsiveness� refers to the timeliness of delivering the information. An �adaptability� attribute provides a description reflecting the extent to which the information can be altered to meet an organization's needs. �Robustness� indicates the extent to which the information is consistent. �Affordability� provides an indication as to the acceptability of expense associated with capturing and maintaining the information. Finally, �accessibility� describes the level of effort necessary to acquire the information in the first instance. Embodiments of this invention are not intended to be restricted to the above enumerated quality metrics. One or ordinary skill in the art appreciates that other quality metrics can be defined and used for accessing information quality within a generic framework. Levels of information maturity represent the extent to which conditions of the information fall within objective categories or standards for each or the quality metrics. In one embodiment, the levels of maturity are represented by five objective categories: �breakthrough,� �leading edge,� �advanced,� �intermediate,� and �foundation.� A �breakthrough� category indicates a best category for a condition of the information that far exceeds the condition of information in the industry. �Leading edge� categories reflect information conditions which provide an organization a competitive edge in the industry. An �advanced� category describes an information condition determined to be ahead of most competitors of an organization. �Intermediate� categories indicate an information condition in transition or determined to be average within the industry. Finally, a �foundation� condition represents a beginning or initial information condition, likely not desirable or useful to an organization. Again, other objective levels of information maturity can be used with embodiments of this invention. Moreover, different levels of granularity can be used. All such variations are intended to fall within the scope of this invention. Each set of three quality metric and level of maturity pairs can be further associated with an objective information quality capability. In one embodiment, information quality capabilities include eight objective definitions. A �power� capability reflects information having quality metrics values for functionality, usability, and contextual. A �meaningful� capability indicates information can address all pertinent aspects at a required level of detail. �Meaningful� capabilities have quality metric values for integrity, contextual, and complexity. A �productivity� capability indicates the information can handle a sufficient amount of the information at the needed level of detail and without any disruptive delay. The �productivity� capability has quality metric values for sufficiency, complexity, and responsiveness. A �utilization� capability represents information this is ready when needed, easy to use, and provided without any disruptive delay. The �utilization� capability includes quality metric values for availability, usability, and responsiveness. �Scalability� capabilities support a sufficient amount of information as that data changes to address organizational growth while the information remains reliably consistent. The �scalability� capabilities include quality metric values for sufficiency, adaptability, and robustness. A �resiliency� capability represents information kept reliably consistent at an acceptable expense while being maintained in a secure fashion. The �resiliency� capability includes quality metric values for integrity, robustness, and affordability. The �serviceability� capabilities describe information that can be changed to meet growth needs in an easily obtainable fashion and ready when needed. �Serviceability� capabilities include quality metric values for availability, adaptability, and accessibility. Finally, a �value� capability represents information that meets an organization's needs in an easily obtainable fashion at an acceptable expense. The �value� capability includes quality metric values for functionality, affordability, and accessibility. Again, other capabilities associates with quality metric values can be used with embodiments of this invention. It is appropriate to note at this point that quality metrics are electronically represented as labels, variables, or fields, each of which, at some point, can be assigned a unique value for each quality metric. The values can be binary (e.g., �yes� or �no�) or the values can be a numeric or alphanumeric value that slides along a predefined scale having a lower bounded value and an upper bounded value. In a like manner, information quality levels and information quality capabilities, can in some embodiments, possess values of a similar nature to that of quality metric values. The processing embodied by the method 100 assembles, links, and associates the information quality metrics, levels of maturity, and the capabilities into an information quality and maturity map or model. This processing represents novel techniques for visualizing information quality and maturity. The map can be interacted with electronically to traverse various relationships of information quality and maturity. At 110, an application(s) or service(s) embodying the processing of method 100 associate information quality metrics, levels of maturity, and capabilities. The quality metric labels, variables, or definitions and their corresponding dependencies upon values for quality levels and capabilities can be acquired from a variety of techniques, such as through an Application Programming Interface (API) communicating between the application or service, automatically from an electronic data source, and the like. In embodiments that use an API, some applications within that API can permit a business analyst to manually provide specific quality metric variable definitions and specific values for those definitions. Moreover, the API can permit a business analyst to provide quality level and capability values and their corresponding dependencies with specific sets of quality metric values. Dependencies are pre-determined based on knowledge possessed by one of ordinary skill in the information quality arts. In some cases, these dependencies are then communicated via traditional off-the-shelf software packages, such as Metis or others. In other cases, these dependencies can be communicated using custom-developed APIs. An example dependency might be that one cannot move directly from a quality level of breakthrough to a quality level of anything but leading edge. Again, these dependencies are readily obtainable and derived by one or ordinary skill in the information quality arts. The application(s) or service(s) embodying the processing of the method 100 generates a map data structure once the quality metrics, levels of maturity, capabilities, and dependencies are received. Any electronic data structure or combination of data structures can be implemented to provide the functionality of a map (e.g., trees, hash tables, lists, stacks, custom-developed object data structures, and others). At 120, the application or service provides the map via an interface for presentation within a display at 130 to a requestor (e.g., consumer, user, or business analyst). In one embodiment, the map represents a geometric shape at 122. A geometric and visual depiction of the map can assist the requestor in better visualizing and comprehending, in a single presentation or view, all the intricate dependencies among the quality metrics, levels of maturity, and capabilities. In one embodiment, the geometric shape is represented as a three-dimensional electronic object, such as an octahedron (or diamond) depicted at 500 of An API or other interface can communicate interactively with the map (or three-dimensional object) to expand, traverse, and investigate various dependencies associated with the quality metrics, levels of maturity, and capabilities. Thus, the map can include activation links that when selected or activated provide different views within an electronic display for a recipient (user). The embodiments of the method 100 permit an organization to interactively view, traverse, and investigate various information quality attributes and dependencies. In one embodiment, the interaction occurs by an organization's business analysts that accesses a remote service (embodying the processing of the method 100) from a World-Wide Web (WWW) portal using an interface defined in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). This provides the analyst a framework for analyzing information quality models. Again, with embodiments of the method 200, information quality metrics, levels of maturity, capabilities, and their associated dependencies on one another combine to form an information quality and maturity framework or model embodied as an interactive electronic data structure. The model can be accessed and manipulated by communicating with a service having an interactive information modeling tool which manages and controls the model. In some embodiments, the service and tool are accessed over an internal network connection to the interface embodied by the processing of the method 200. Alternatively, they are accessed over an external network connection by the interface. At 210, a service is accessed for communicating with an interactive modeling tool. The access can occur, in one embodiment, via an external network connection, or alternatively, an internal network connection, as depicted as 211 and 212, respectively. Access is made as an interface application that embodies the processing of the method 200. In one embodiment, the interface is manually accessed by a business analyst or user. In other embodiments, the interface is an API that permits automatic access based on other applications issuing calls to various API features permitting the same. At 220, the interface provides quality metric values to the information modeling tool. Each set of three quality metric values represents unique values for three specific quality metric variables or labels defined and managed by the tool. In one embodiment, at 222, the modeling tool can receive the provided sets of three metric values from the interface and then uses the provided values for automatically assigning (based on the dependencies of the information model) an appropriate corresponding value for a capability. Moreover, based on the dependencies and values for each metric variable, the tool can also assigns an appropriate corresponding value for a level of maturity. Again, values represent binary (e.g., �yes� or �no�) quantities or quantities associated with a numeric or alphanumeric scale. Thus, for example, the interface can assign a �yes� value to quality metric variables defined as functionality, usability, and contextual. Based on these assignments a �yes� value is automatically assigned by the tool for the capability of power. The interface can still further assign a �1� value on a scale of �1-10� to a level of maturity for broadening, where 1 is the best value associated with the scale. Metric values are determined based on an assessment of an information repository and provided to the information modeling tool using an interface that embodies the processing of the method 200. The tool then assigns those values to their appropriate quality metric variables, generates automatic values for levels of maturity and capabilities (for each set of three metric values), and produces a visual map for the interface depicting a current information quality and maturity state for the information repository. Thus, at 230, the interface receives the visual map depicting a current information quality state for an information repository, where the current state is based on the initial sets of three metric values provided to the tool. The visual map distinguishes the current state with its various assigned values (metric, levels, and capabilities) within a view of an electronic display in communication with the interface. The view presents the entire visual map along with the discernable current state. Visual distinctions can be made in a number of ways, such as with font sizes, font effects, font types, colors, and the like. In one embodiment, the interface also permits the visual map to be manipulated interactively within the view, such that at 240, a desired information quality and maturity state can be selected. This desired state is then communicated from the interface to the modeling tool via the service, and the tool assigns the appropriate values to a set of the metric variables (defined by the desired state selection), three levels of maturity corresponding to each metric variable, and a single capability for the desired state. Next, the tool, using the current state and the desired state, selects a pathway within the map for moving from the current state to the desired state. Dependencies can be weighted, in some embodiments, within the map and selection can be based on iteratively evaluating the available moves within the map in the direction of the desired state from the current state. These optimal selections produce one or more intermediate states within the map from the current state to the desired state and form an optimal pathway for moving a current information quality and maturity from its present condition to a desired position. Thus, in one embodiment, at 250, the interface receives an updated visual map from the information quality tool that uniquely depicts the entire map along with the current state, the intermediate states, and the desired state. Each of the intermediate states have values for metric variables, corresponding level values, and a single corresponding capability value, which need to be achieved within the information repository before a transition can be made to a next and connecting intermediate state, and until the desired state is finally achieved. At 260, this updated visual map is depicted with discernable links within the interface, and these links are selectable such that the needed actions can be inspected. In some embodiments, the actions can be further customized to be associated with tasks which are organization specific. The items or tasks detail what steps, internal to the organization's processes and technology which need to take place in order to achieve each of the intermediate states depicted within the visual map. Embodiments of the method 200 permit various interface applications or services to be used in an automated fashion for determining how to move an information repository from a current quality and maturity state to a desired quality and maturity state. The interface can be made available to business analysts or information analysts familiar with the information repository. Thus, an organization can develop a road map for moving their information repository to a more desirable condition that is more conducive and helpful to the organizational planning and business. The modeling tool 300 models information quality and maturity for the information repository 330. This is achieved by having a pre-defined framework or model for generic information quality and maturity depicting the quality metrics, levels of maturity, capabilities, and their associated dependencies. The model or framework can be represented as an electronic data structure, such as a map, a geometric shape, and the like. The model can be traversed and interacted with through the interface 320. The interface 320 is used for accessing the service 340 to execute and process the tool 310, and to acquire visually on a display the initial model for a generic information quality and maturity framework. The interface 320 is then used to provide, values for sets of three information quality metric variables defined in the model. These values represent a current state within the model for the information repository's 330 current information quality and maturity based on an assessment (metric value assignments) made by a business analyst or information analyst of an organization with an interest in the information repository 330. The tool 310 uses these value assignments for producing an initial map within the model on a display accessible to the interface 320. The tool 310 then updates the model or map and communicates the updated map or model back to the display where it can be further interacted with by the interface 320. The display now includes the original information model provided by the tool 310 and a visual depiction of interface 320 accessible links within the model or map of the current state for the current state of information quality and maturity associated with the information repository 330. This includes a unique value for each capability assigned to every set of three metric values provided, and a value for a level of maturity for each metric value provided. Next, the interface 320 is used for interactively communicate with the model or map via the displayed links. One such interaction selects a desired state for the quality and maturity of the information repository 330. Based on this interface 320 selection, the tool 310 can automatically determine appropriate metric variable values, levels of maturity values, and a capability value within the model or map for the desired state. In doing this, the tool 310 can generate value selections (for levels and a capability) within the model or map for optimally (based on weighted dependencies) moving from the current information quality state progressively through the model or map to the desired information quality state. Each of these moves include a set of three needed quality metric variable values, three levels of maturity values, and a capability value, which define a specific intermediate state that the information repository 330 needs to achieve in order to progress from the current state to the desired state within the model or map. These progressive intermediate states along with the current state and the desired state are then communicated back to the interface 320 via the display as an updated map or model. Moreover, the current state, intermediate states, and desired state are visually discernable within a single view of the display with interactive links for obtaining or traversing the model or map for additional information or the capabilities of each particular state. In some embodiments, the progression from the current state through the intermediate states to the desired state can be viewed as a pathway within the model or map on the display. Each link associated with particular transitions from one state to another state can be activated from the display via the interface 320 to identify specific values for a set of three metric variables, a set of three levels of maturity, and a capability required for in moving to a next state. Other information can be included with the links as well and can be customized to the needs of a particular information repository 330. For example, an organization can include information for specific information technology, such as a Teradata warehouse version X processing on a UNIX Operating System (OS). Another example might be that certain types of information which needs to have a peer review before it is altered or needs to include data not currently being captured by the organization. This other information can reside within the access and control of the service 340 and/or tool 310 or it can reside within the environment of the interface 320, where either the interface 320, independent of the tool 310, or the tool 310 can make it accessible with the links via the model or map. This other information can be used as an action item list for an organization for moving its information repository to a desired state from a current state. The configuration of The modeling data structure 400 includes quality metric variables (e.g., labels, constant strings, or definitions) and values 402, quality maturity level values 403, quality capability values 404, and dependencies (logical links) 405-407 among all the metric variables and values 402-404 with respect to the level values 403 and capability values 404. At least for purposes of initially populating and electronically viewing the modeling data structure, the modeling data structure 400 includes all known metric variables and values 402-404 that were predefined and instantiated within the modeling data structure 400 by another interface. Each instance of the modeling data structure 400 in its initially populated state can be tailored based on specific industries (e.g., retail, manufacturing, government, non-profit, software, hardware, and others). Such a predetermination can be done by business analysts and/or information analysts. In an alternative embodiment, applications can be implemented that process a specific data format, such that the modeling data structure 400 can be initially instantiated automatically. The logical links 405-407 combine with the metric variables and values 402-404 to uniquely define a particular instance of the modeling data structure 400 as an information model. The information model is used for modeling the quality and maturity of information associated with a particular industry in a generic framework or standard readily recognized by that industry. Moreover, although In some embodiments, a particular instance of the modeling data structure 400 can be interacted with and modified via an interface in communication with the modeling data structure 400. In one such instance, the interface is a World-Wide Web (WWW) browser connected to the Internet that communicates with other applications residing on a remote server of the Internet, and those applications interact with the browser to display the modeling data structure 400 on a display and computing device using the browser to present and update views of the modeling data structure 400. Thus, in some embodiments, a specific instance of the modeling data structure receives specific values for at least a number of the quality metric variables 402. These received quality metric value 402 assignments can be used by other applications in communication with the modeling data structure 400 for generating specific needed values for maturity levels and quality capabilities 403-404 (one value for each quality capability per three metric values). Received specific value assignments 402-404 can represent a desire from some application to view within a particular instance of the modeling data structure 400 a current state, intermediate states, and/or a desired state for a specific information repository being compared and analyzed with this particular instance of the modeling data structure 400. The current state and the desired state are selectable and used to modify aspects of the modeling data structure 400. Conversely, the intermediate states are calculated by an application or system consuming the modeling data structure 400. Such an application can be the processing represented by the methods 100 and 200, and such a system can be the system 300. Any dynamically modified instance of the modeling data structure 400 can also be consumed by an interface for purposes of uniquely and visually depicting the variables, values, and links 402-407 on a display which presents the modified instance of the data structure 400 for consumption. The links 405-407 can not only depict dependencies but can be activated to traverse and alter views associated with the data structure 400. Embodiments of the modeling data structure 400 can be consumed by applications, systems, and/or services to model and analyze generic information quality and maturity dependencies and capabilities for a customized industry. Moreover, the modeling data structure 400 can be consumed and dynamically interacted with to analyze a specific information standard in view of a specific information repository current state for information quality and maturity. This particular consumption can also be used to provide a roadmap for an organization to move from their current quality and maturity state though a number of intermediate states to a final desired state. Diagram 500 presents a sample view of information models or frameworks using the teachings of this invention. In the example, an octahedron (or diamond shape) electronically instantiated object is presented where the sample information quality metrics, levels, and capabilities have been previously defined and enumerated above in connection with the discussion of As one example relationship, the metric values of functionality, usability, and contextual form a surface triangle on the octahedron. Moreover, the dependent and associated capability value is depicted as the surface of this triangle as power. Additionally, each of the metric variable values can be associated with a level of maturity value of advanced, intermediate, and breakthrough which is displayed when a line of the triangle is selected or by a unique color for lines of the triangle. This view can be achieved to produce a tree-dimensional distinction using various font effects, sizes, colors, types, and other graphics including video. As an example illustration, metric, levels of maturity, and capabilities are depicted as 601 having linkages or dependencies of 602. Intermediate states needed to move and create pathways based on dependencies are depicted as 603, their corresponding linkages and dependencies are shown as 604. The desired state is depicted as 605 and its linkages as 606. Methods, systems, and data structures presented in this invention permit an organization to use an automated electronic framework for visualizing information quality and maturity. Moreover, this framework can be interacted with to provide individual guidance to an organization for systematically and optimally moving the condition of their information repository from its current state to a desired state of quality and maturity. Conventionally, no such models, techniques, or systems have been available and organizations have struggled with ad hoc attempts to improve their information repositories. Moreover, in some embodiments, some metric values can be null in which case corresponding levels of maturity or capability values can be affected and become null or can be altered based on the presence of a null metric value in a given set of three metric values. The above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. The scope of embodiments of the invention should, therefore, be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.

Pink, Green and Blue Pastels and Cornflowers and Flips
Today turned into pastel day. This 50s floral dress arrived last night so of course I couldn't wait to photograph it for you this morning. I think it was a darker colour once, but I don't mind a bit of fading on vintage. Isn't it beautiful! It has a huge abundance of leaves and little green and blue crinkly flowers and the occasional big, blue Cornflower. I particularly love how the pattern 'disperses' the closer to the hem it gets. The 50s really was super-pretty. This dress I actually bought (note, paid my own money for) from one of my sponsors, Croatia Vintage.
As I said in my last post, I am on a bit of a vintage-kick at the moment, wanting to wear my real vintage a lot again. I went for white tights and little navy, velvet, flats for this look, sort of by accident as I forgot to bring my Shelly's with me, but they ended up matching way better than the Shelly's would have done anyway. Then I wore the Forever 21 cardigan I always wear - which everybody seems to love - so it seemed only natural to pair it with matching pastel lips. I love this shade but it is so hard to make it look right (it 's MAC's Saint Germain if you're wondering, but booooo, MAC test on animals so next time I will be purchasing from LimeCrime. (I thought that seeing as an animal had suffered for this lipstick I may as well use it up now that I have it.)
What do you think of these shots? I was trying to think of new ways to shoot the same space (it is just so good for light!) so I shot my reflection! The only flaw really is that the mirror doesn't always make for 100% clarity in the photographs.

You better be keeping that dress under lock missy, lest I hop on a plane, break into your pretty little room and steal it while you sleep :P
Ohh boo, I had no idea MAC tested on animals :( Limecrime looks like they have some nice stuff, I hope they release more things like blush, concealer and ect and then I may just have to switch over!
I love comments and I read them all! I will always try to get back to you, but please feel free to email me at email@example.com if you'd like a proper response!

Julia C. Teale is a postgraduate researcher based at the MacLeodLab at the School of Psychology & Neuroscience, University of St. Andrews, in Scotland. She is particularly interested in memory—why do we find some things very easy to forget whilst other things seem to stick in our minds? How does the brain organize our memories efficiently? How do our memories change over our lifetimes and into older age? Since Teale was little she has always asked a lot of questions, and maybe that is why she now does research! When she is not working, she likes to go walking with her dog Indy in the countryside. Akira R. O'Connor is a lecturer in the School of Psychology & Neuroscience, University of St. Andrews, in Scotland.

Get or give entrepreneurial help
Many options are out there for those in the Northern Nevada business community who would like to offer entrepreneurial help or get it. What follows is a very partial list.
For those interested in working with researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno and the Desert Research Institute, you can sign up online through the Technology Transfer Offices Community Engagement Programs page at http://tto.dri.edu/community-engagement-programs.php.
You can also call Ryan Heck of the Technology Transfer Office at 775-784-8228.
Doug Erwin, who handles entrepreneurial efforts for the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, can be reached at
The Entrepreneurs Assembly meets at 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month when entrepreneurs get together to discuss issues and offer mentoring help. For more, contact John Moran at firstname.lastname@example.com
If someone wants generalized help, they can also contact Rod Hosilyk with Entrepreneurship Nevada at email@example.com.
If you have an entrepreneurial question, you can pose it to the Nevada Connectors experts at nevadaconnectors.com.
Over the next few months, Entrepreneurship Nevada hopes to develop itself as a collaborative community resource for all entrepreneurial activities in Northern Nevada. Check it out at www.enevadanow.org.
Each Sunday, the Reno Rebirth section will analyze ideas to help the economy of Northern Nevada and the state. If you have a suggestion for a topic to cover, please email community analysis writer Mark Robison at email@example.com or call 775-846-5368.
Tom Kozel has been studying fungal meningitis for years.
It seemed like a rare disease until the Centers for Disease Control did some calculations and found it was killing about 500,000 people a year in Africa.
This prompted Kozel and his team at the University of Nevada, Reno to look at ways to change how the disease is diagnosed and this research, in addition to saving lots of lives, provided a model that could be used to create jobs in Nevada, and brought royalty money back to the school.
The UNR-DRI Technology Transfer Office has the job of getting that to happen more often. The offices director, Ryan Heck, says that creating a better relationship between UNR and Desert Research Institute researchers and the local business community is essential.
Both can benefit, and in turn, the areas economy can benefit, too.
Its a process, though, that universities havent done very well for years. This is starting to change, in part inspired by funding sources drying up and budgets being cut.
But theres much work to do without many resources available Hecks office has three people responsible for marketing 145 different technologies and managing patent acquisition for 109 patent applications.
If volunteers from local businesses can offer small amounts of help, that can lead to big payoffs. To get this to happen, some faith and trust need to be restored.
Kozels work might help with that, too.
What's a reagent?
Before getting to the economic impact of commercializing research, lets delve deeper into what Kozel does.
Diagnostic tests look for something. For example, a PSA test looks for prostate-specific antigen, but that PSA cant be seen unless theres a reagent that can see the target.
Reagents are basically molecules that help other molecules recognize each other. Once a reagent is discovered through research, a test can be created.
The key thing is its a test that can be done at the point of patient contact, Kozel said about fungal meningitis.
If youre a physician in Africa and a patient has walked 1½ days to see a doctor and you do a test and then say, Come back for the results in three days, they wont come back.
A test with faster results would solve the problem. Kozels research pointed in the right direction, but a business was needed to carry it forward.
We dont write business plans. I need help with that, Kozel said.
Were going to rely on people in the community who know how to do these things, and the Technology Transfer Office is acting as the marriage broker to make these things happen.
In the case of the fungal meningitis test, a local company couldnt be found to do the work. Instead, one in Norman, Okla., called IMMY, brought it to market.
Now, we can get a diagnosis in 15 minutes and (patients) can be given antibiotics while theyre still there so its a remarkable change, Kozel said.
For commercializing other reagent research, he hopes to start a business in the Reno area that can handle such work. It would be the first start-up company created based on UNR research in a few years, Heck said.
The problems in successfully commercializing research are many and deep, and they arent unique to UNR.
Heck said that much research is driven by scientific curiosity.
Our researchers are looking at the science first, not the societal or industry need, he said.
This has led to many important discoveries, Heck added, but it doesnt translate well to business applications.
If youre a business, he said, you think about what your customers want: Can I sell this, what feature do I need that will distinguish my product? They have a problem and want to come up with a solution. The researchers will come up with very interesting solutions but then dont know what problem it solves.
Getting researchers and business people together early in the process can make both sides more successful. But this requires buy-in from the business community, which is leery after years of neglect.
I find that historically there hasnt been a lot of interest at the university in working with the business community but that theyre more interested in doing their own thing, said Chuck Walker, a Shell Oil retiree who mentors researchers at UNR.
They have some research Im really impressed with, and they need to understand theres a difference between research in the lab and commercial success in the real world. (Doing it right) will get the university either royalties or contracts for more research.
Walker said some quick successes need to be tallied in order to overcome ill feelings and improve the business-university relationship.
Kozel agreed. We just need a few successes to get this going early successes are terribly important both from the community side and from the university side, he said.
To help get business people and researchers in the same room, Hecks office has created innovation teams. These include a faculty member and a student intern under the guidance of someone from the business community who acts as a mentor.
They brainstorm to come up with ideas that meet business needs, ways to market them, determinations of whether the research needs more work before a business could take it on, the best ways for researchers to pitch their ideas to businesses, etc.
Finding people to help is often done through organizations such as SCORE, which consists of retired executives who want to share what theyve learned over a full career.
Walker, who is a member of SCORE, started working with a UNR innovation team earlier this year. They developed a list of potential clients who might be interested in particular research. A few were contacted, and a meeting was set up through the Technology Transfer Office with one possible client.
Based on his military experience, Walker urged them to create an after-action list: what they learned, and what they learned that they didnt know, and how we can develop a process for working with other people, and how we can get others at the university to work with other people.
Although he said his work with the team has been fruitful, he said there are issues: For example, UNR doesnt have a good system of making things happen at the speed business requires.
Commerce and industry have deadlines, whereas the university works at a more comfortable speed, and were trying to move those two closer together, Walker said.
He would also like to see a list thats properly publicized showing what areas of expertise the university can help with.
Its little things like this that cause larger problems, and Walker thinks its essential to get the overall process humming smoothly.
Heck said hes worked hard to overcome internal issues that have frustrated business people in the past, such as making sure their efforts are an effective use of time and being better at communication.
Walker said Gov. Brian Sandovals economic development effort and recent work by the Technology Transfer Office are an excellent start at moving forward.
Two-way help
Heck is trying to encourage this business-university relationship in two ways.
First, he wants to make sure businesses know UNR and DRI are there to assist with issues they might have.
Maybe they have a logistics problem or have a diagnostic test that isnt accurate enough. They can be paired with researchers to find a solution.
Walker is on the same page.
If we could set up meetings with people here (at the university) to solve problems that businesses here have but dont have time to pursue, it would enhance business and enhance the reputation of the university, he said.
Second, Heck would like to see more business people offer volunteer advice to researchers.
The time commitment can be 10 minutes a month to read over an email proposal, a periodic breakfast or lunch meeting to discuss technology interests, or an hour or two a week to mentor researchers on what businesses want and how to present their work.
Heck said its impossible for researchers and the tech office to spend the time required to become mini-experts in every business area.
If youve got a biotech invention and you go to someone who runs a biotech company, in five minutes they might be able to tell you exactly whether its marketable. It will take very little of their time, but it will make us more efficient. It saves us $40,000 on patent costs if it turns out not valuable.
This interaction may not pay immediate benefits for the business person, but it establishes a relationship that could pay off down the road, Heck said.
Fire power
While the Technology Transfer Office has only three people trying to leverage $100 million in research, its recently gotten help.
As Walker mentioned, the governor has launched an effort to develop the states economy. As part of that, Karston Heise was hired as Nevadas technology commercialization officer. Hell work across the hall from Heck at UNR.
Also, the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada just hired a vice president for entrepreneurial development named Doug Erwin. His job will include two days a week at UNR.
To date, our university has been an untapped resource from the business community perspective and has been underutilized, Erwin said.
His focus will be on how to take ideas from the university and DRI and spin them off into entrepreneurial efforts.
Im looking for young, talented people who want to turn an idea into a business, and then Im pairing them up with people in the community who could help with that process, Erwin said.
EDAWN and the Technology Transfer Office have resources available for those who want to start a business.
Maybe they need help writing a business plan, Erwin said. Or maybe, if theyre further along, they need to consult an industry expert. Or maybe theyve got the technology and the Technology Transfer Office can help license it, and we can help them do fundraisers, to find angel (investors), to get them prepped for that process.
He said big companies have the resources to make use of research themselves, but there are also students who have ideas that want to turn them into their own companies, who dont want to sell them, and I think thats where local businesses could be best utilized.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'Fun' led Manhattan Transfer to 40 years of harmonization
When singer Alan Paul first joined the vocal quartet Manhattan Transfer in 1972, he never thought the gig would last for 40 years.
"We got together because we thought it would be lots of fun," said the hearty-sounding 62-year-old on the phone from his Los Angeles home.
The American vocal quartet, consisting of Tim Hauser, Janis Siegel, Cheryl Bentyne and Paul, has over 30 recordings to its credit and is on the road for seven months of the year criss-crossing the globe on three to four major tours. Their unique mix of jazz and pop, enhanced by catchy rhythms and satisfying harmony has earned them longtime fans around the world.
They are performing three shows this weekend at Centennial Concert Hall in the finale of the season's Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's Pops Series. The concerts run Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
It's been 30 years since Manhattan Transfer last played in Winnipeg. "We're really looking forward to it," said Paul, after asking about the local weather forecast. Due to illness, however, Bentyne has been unable to perform with her colleagues for the last several months. Replacing her is vocalist Margaret Dorn, for whom Paul has high praise. "She has a great deal of experience singing in a group so she understands the importance of balance," he said, "and she has learned the repertoire very quickly."
Working together for decades like Manhattan Transfer has can present difficulties along the way. "It can be very challenging to be together for a long time," admitted Paul. "It's like family. You have to learn to get along. Like with any family, there are conflicts sometimes. Maturity plays a role. We look at the things we value and focus on that. We have a real desire to be together. We look at the grace of it. We're very fortunate to do what we do with the people we want."
If you're familiar with some of the quartet's hits, including Route 66, Embraceable You, Boy from New York City, A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, Choo Choo Ch'Boogie and Birdland (all planned for the WSO shows), you might find it hard to pin them down to any musical genre.
"From the beginning we have always been eclectic," said Paul, who began his professional career at age 12, performing on Broadway in the original cast of Oliver. "We were very fortunate when we signed with Atlantic Records that Ahmet Ertegun, who signed us, allowed us a lot of freedom. We were always changing. We didn't want to get locked in to any one genre. It was much more creative, much better not to get labelled."
Doing their own thing their own way seems to have worked. The quartet has won a slew of awards, including Grammys in pop and jazz categories. Their 1985 album Vocalese picked up an unprecedented 12 Grammy nominations. "From album to album, we had pop hits, a disco hit, jazz hits -- we moved around," said Paul. "Vocalese was our first thematic album. It really solidified us as a vocal jazz group."
Their music director, Yaron Gershovsky, will conduct the WSO and play piano. "We have a great band," said Paul of guitarist Adam Hawley, bassist Gary Wicks and drummer Steve Hass. "The symphonic arrangements are stunning and the feedback we get from orchestras is that they really enjoy them and find them challenging."
The singers don't seem to tire of doing multiple shows. "We put in different things, make some improvements," said Paul. "Every audience is different so it's a new experience every time. We have interchange with them and try to mix it up and we have such a large repertoire that there's a lot to choose from."
Longevity of this kind can be a strain on a singer's vocal cords. Paul takes great care to keep his instrument healthy. "You have to work at it, especially in this group because the music is so demanding. It's like going to the gym -- you're dealing with muscles."
The audience response has been gratifying. "We have our fans who stretch over the 40 years," Paul said. "It depends when they hopped on the Transfer. Now we have students who are into us because of the music, and fans who bring their children and grandchildren."
What is it that keeps music lovers coming to Manhattan Transfer concerts? "It's about the harmony," said Paul. "People are affected by the sound -- sometimes even subconsciously. We as human beings, especially in the chaotic world we live in are affected by harmonic vibrations."
Tickets range from $23 to $87 and are available at the WSO box office at 949-3999, at www.wso.ca or through Ticketmaster: 1-855-985-ARTS and www.ticketmaster.ca
