What makes an authentic paella?
Does a paella have to be cooked in a special pan? (There is one, but I can't remember the name of it at the moment.)
How varied are paellas compared to risotto?
What kind of image is conjured up for you when you think about or hear about paella?
For me, there is paella valenciana (the traditional kind incorporating chicken, pork, shellfish and vegetables) and a vegetarian paella. I have made recipes which were a blurring of lines between paella and risotto. What are your favorite kinds and recipes?

Hi All-
I tried a recipe out of The good cook, James and Jellies over the weekend. It is a bitter orange, lemon and watermelon Jam. Actually its more like a marmalade. The recipe went together easily, but a curious thing happened while I was cooking it. The recipe said to add 3 cups of sugar for each 4 cups of fruit and simmer slowly for 1 hour. I did that but at the end of the hour, the consistency still seemed thin. My first though was to reduce it further. I pulled some out of the pot to taste and continued to reduce. I never did get to a really jelled consistency, however the taste started to change, it lost the fresh watermelon flavor and took on almost a "tea taste" like the sugars in the watermelon had carmelized. It doesnt taste bad but should I have taken another approach? I'm not familiar enough with sure gel to use it if its not called for in a recipe.
Any help would be appreciated. Its a beautiful jam, I would just like to maintain the fresh watermelon taste and have it thicker.

Library History
During the first year of the newly expanded building the storytimes, book reviews, stuffed pet show, Art Rental Gallery, Sunday afternoon "Arts Alive in Liverpool" music concerts, craft classes, and Saturday afternoon films continued to prevail. Once a month on a Sunday afternoon Director Fay Golden held a meeting of the "Mystery Readers Anonymous" in her office. Poetry reading programs were held as part of a grant received from the Poets and Writers, Inc. and the Literature Program of the New York State Council on the Arts. Thursday afternoons the "Armchair Traveler" offered films on places to visit around the world.
April was designated Dinosaur month in the Children's Room and T-Rex, the talking dinosaur, stood at the entryway to the picture book area. Children who walked directly up to the five foot dinosaur would stand on a mat which activated the prerecorded message.
On April 8th district residents approved the library's budget proposition by a margin of 207 votes (1034 yes and 827 no). The new budgeted amount would be $1.3 million. In the Trustee election Genevieve Pieniazek was reelected and Joseph Ostuni, Jr. was elected to a five year term replacing Sharon Fulmer.
On Wednesday April 15th the library remained open until 11:30 p.m. for the convenience of last minute income tax filers. Photocopiers were operative and forms were available, but no materials could be checked out. Director Fay Golden, along with Elaine Goldberg, Head of Adult Services, and Security person Mike Burg were on hand to greet those who took advantage of the library's late hours.
Leanne Cook joined the librarian staff on May 4th She was assigned to the Audio Visual Department to select, order and catalog videos, maps and equipment.
The new ComputerWorks Lab was dedicated on Saturday May 9. Assemblyman Michael Bragman was the guest speaker. The lab contained a desktop publishing area, a laser printer, a synthesizer, and Apple, Commodore and Panasonic computers. Circulating software for the Atari, Commodore, IBM and Apple were available to patrons. In late October scanning services were offered. According to a report written by Jean Polly, during its first ten months of operation the lab logged over 7000 hours of free computer use. Over half of the time the computers were used by adults.
When the computer in Pascal Place was relocated to the Lab, the System 80 tutorial equipment and materials were placed in the small study room. They proved to be popular with parents as well as tutors.
At the May Board meeting Director Fay Golden reported that she had received numerous complaints from patrons regarding the presence of traffic controlling stanchions in front of the Circulation Desk. It was agreed that they be removed and only used during very peak times.
In June the 16th annual Art in the Park was moved to Onondaga Lake Park as part of the Waterfront Extravaganza sponsored by Onondaga County Parks and Recreation.
In July the Board received the resignation of Dr. N. Donald Boink who was moving out of the Syracuse area. The Board approved the hiring of part time maintenance worker, Rodney (Porky) Muench.
Yvette Hewitt, clerk in the Children's Department, announced the implementation of a Library Birthday Club. A child could invite two times the age he was going to be, i.e. a six year old could have twelve guests. There will be a cake, a story and time to select books.
At a special ceremony in the library in July Renee Romance and Dorothy Morgan received Merit awards for the year 1986. Virginia Henderson received the Performance Award.
In August the Board appointed Dr. James Klaiber to fill the position vacated by Dr. Boink. It should be noted here that the August Board minutes were typed on a computer for the first time!
On September 3rd the Armchair Traveler Film Series began.
At the November meeting the Board approved the purchase of television production equipment. Funding sources were State Aid and a grant from Assemblyman Michael Bragman. The equipment was to be housed on the second floor under the direction of Richard Fensterer.
Reference service continued to flourish as librarians responded to 38,871 queries from patrons who either called in or visited the library. This figure was an eighty three per cent increase from seven years ago!

The Lady of the Apronsby Fay in View All Posts, April 2nd, 2009
Do you wear an apron when you cook?
For some reason I never do, but I'm going to start now that I've seen how fun and cute an apron can be. Claire Robinson has shown me the way on her new show 5 Ingredient Fix, which premieres this Saturday, April 4 at 9:30 AM. It may look like she's wearing a cute skirt, but look again, they're aprons. Super adorable aprons! The sassy aprons are designed by Claire herself and are made of a wide variety of vintage and modern materials. The rack of aprons on set were often the topic of conversation, as many of us just couldn't decide which one we loved best.
They were all too cute, all different, and we all had apron envy. So much so that Beth Burke, Director of Programming, showed up on set in her own vintage apron! Trying to steal the show Beth?

Saint Leo, Fla. (January 23, 2007) - The Saint Leo softball team was picked to finish fourth in the Sunshine State Conference Pre-Season Softball Poll, released recently by the SSC.
The Lions, who have reached the NCAA Division II South Region Tournament in four of the last seven seasons, finished 2006 with a 37-20 record overall. Saint Leo's conference mark of 16-8 was good for a third-place finish in the league.
Defending SSC champion and NCAA third-place finisher Florida Southern College was selected as the pre-season favorite to win the 2007 Sunshine State Conference softball championship. Florida Southern earned 17 of a possible 18 first-place votes in the pre-season poll. Barry University received the remaining first place vote and was picked to finish second.
Florida Tech was selected to finish third, while SLU and Rollins College were picked to finish fourth and fifth, respectively. The University of Tampa, Nova Southeastern University, Lynn University and Eckerd College rounded out the poll.
The Saint Leo softball team will open its 2007 season in Valdosta, Ga. on February 3-4. The Lions will face Delta State and Valdosta State on both days with game starting at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.

I'm as surprised as you are…
Research: Plus-size models lower self-esteem
Advertisements with "plus-size" models are unlikely to positively impact their target audience, according to the findings of a new study from Arizona State University, as well as , the University of Cologne in Germany and Erasmus University in the Netherlands. Ads like Dove's "Campaign For Real Beauty" actually lowered enthusiasm in both overweight and normal-weight consumers, according to Naomi Mandel, a marketing professor at Arizona State's W.P. Carey School of Business. In fact, overweight consumers' self esteem and enthusiasm for purchasing products was depleted when they saw ads with any size model.
The findings are significant to Ms. Mandel because companies like Dove and magazines that feature models of all sizes are often praised. But while the approach may be popular, it may not be effective.
Ms. Mandel conducted the study because she wanted to see if looking at skinny models had a link to consumer self esteem or even eating disorders. The professors examined respondent attitudes about their own body size before viewing the ads. They were then asked if they considered themselves similar or different to the models in the ads.
Some of the findings surprised Ms. Mandel. Although thin models did deflate most women's self esteem, the biggest correlation wasn't the model's size – it was the relative difference between the consumer's size and the model's size. Normal-weight respondents had the most easily influenced reaction. They identified with both the thin and plus-size models, the study showed, yo-yoing between feeling confident and pondering a diet. The overweight respondents' reactions were the same, regardless of the size of the models
"Overweight respondents didn't like any of the models, regardless of size," Ms. Mandel says. "They didn't seem to like what was reflected at them." .
Dove hasn't responded, but Ms. Mandel says she would like to work with them for future research. The findings will be published in the April issue of the "Journal of Consumer Research."

Source: "Current mobile data networks are based on connecting people to the Internet. But when sensors are hooked up to a network their resource requirements are often much smaller in terms of data, power and cost. French startup SigFox is creating a cheap, low energy consumption, long-distance cellular network for sensors and other devices which make up the so-called "Internet of Things"-
MIT Technology Review reports:
"SigFox builds its networks in the same way as a cellular provider, using a system of connected antennas that each cover a particular area and link back to the operator's central network. But the antennas use a different radio technology, developed by SigFox, known as ultra narrow band. This technology would not be of much use for streaming video to an iPhone, but it allows devices connecting to the network to consume very little energy, says [chief of business development and Internet of Things evangelism at SigFox, Thomas] Nicholls, and it allows for very long-range connections."
The company claims its two-way cellular connections consume 100 microwatts compared with 5,000 for a conventional cellular connection. It says it is close to rolling out a network covering the whole of France using 1,000 antennas. SigFox adds that it is in discussion with mobile carriers in the U.S. a territory which it says it can cover completely with 10,000 gateways, rather than the several hundred thousand required by standard cellular networks.
SigFox reports seeing most interest in its technology from companies trying to roll out so-called smart grids, an approach to electricity distribution that uses data from sensors throughout a power network—including in customers' homes—to help improve efficiency and reliability…

Most Sunday afternoons, I'm happy to watch football with a bag of chips, but this Sunday is the Super Bowl and my team isn't playing — sigh — so I'll be paying a lot more attention to what's on the menu.
When it comes to game-day eats, I'm usually partial to wings, but after attending NYC's first annual Chili Fest last weekend, I can't stop thinking about those hearty meat stews. It's always a special occasion when twenty four well-known restaurants from around NYC get together to compete in an old fashioned chili cook-off, but with the big game coming up this weekend, I went looking for some inspiration.
Like pizza, styles and ingredients vary by region, and each region thinks it has the best recipe. Some swear by beans, some swear by pork — others use neither. You'll find lots of beans in New Mexican chili, for example, but in Texas absolutely none.
In total, I tried eighteen different takes on the classic comfort food this past weekend. What did I learn from all that chili? Here, have a taste.
Traditional-style chilis are a big crowd-pleaser. This meat-heavy stew from Northern Spy Food Co. tasted a lot like those found in Texas. It had the classic consistency of ground beef and simmered vegetables. If I wanted to make something similar, I would make Tyler's Texas Chili, but without the chocolate. Like Northern Spy Food Co's, Tyler's has lots of meat and chilies, and no beans.
Tomatillos give a wonderfully unique, bright green chili flavor. Telepan's rendition of chili verde was made by cooking down tomatillos with beef, pork, beans and several types of chilies. It was hearty and spicy, and tasted best when topped off with some creamy Oaxacan cheese. Make something similar by adding pinto beans to Jerry Simmons' Chili Verde, and then sprinkling Oaxacan cheese over the top.
Ancho chilies and brown sugar help make for darker stews. Fette Sau brought both to the table, but also stayed true to their smoke-house roots. The Brooklyn barbecue joint made theirs with lots of beans and plenty of smoked meat. The result was quite flavorful — think tasty intersection of sweet baked beans and smoked beef, with a slight heat that came on after each mouthful.
But my favorite chili came from well-known Brooklyn pizza purveyor, Roberta's. Admittedly more like beef stew, there was so much to love about what they stirred up that I actually asked for more, which is saying a lot after tasting twenty four chilis. Brimming with big chunks of sirloin, their chili wasn't shy with its celebration of the meat, but it also had plenty of vegetables and loads of chilies, and just right amount of heat to balance it all out.

There comes a time where every duckling must fly the nest – but these fluffy creatures were a little premature when they set up home on a family's doorstep.
The little animals appear to have lost their way and had to wing it by setting up home in Parson Street, Hendon.
Clare Paul woke up to find the mother duckling shielding her chicks on the doormat and a few days later, she led her ducklings toward water.
She said: "I was very sad to see them go. I saw the mother was marching all 11 ducklings up the side road."
Clare explained it was better for the ducklings to head towards water – and away from the cats in the neighborhood.
She said: "Beautiful as they were I was quite worried for their safety."
The doormat where the family of ducks had taken up residence was behind a metal gate. The mother was trying to squeeze out, but the babies couldn't get out.
Clare said: "What happened in the end was the neighbour who had the cat constructed some kind of ramp. Another neighbour put down water, and another put down oats to lead them out. That was the last we saw of them. The whole neighborhood was interested."
In that manner, with all her ducks in a row, the mother left the neighborhood.
Clare added: "We miss them, but we hope that they are ok."

A BRIDEGROOM with terminal cancer said 'I do' in a £20,000 dream wedding thanks to the generosity of Burnley people.
Tammy Dale and Tom Cooper got married yesterday, in a lavish ceremony at Burnley's Towneley Hall – just four weeks after launching an appeal for help in the Lancashire Telegraph.
The couple were forced to step up their plans to get hitched after being told dad-of-two Tom had an uncommon form of throat cancer.
Because of the rarity of his illness doctors have told Tom that they do not know how long he has left to live.
Previous wedding plans had to be abandoned by the couple because of money worries, until their friends, family and the local community gathered round and helped them achieve their dream day.
Full-time carer Tammy, 23, arrived at Towneley Hall in a horse and carriage accompanied by her dad Aaron Dale.
Dressed in a beautiful strapless white wedding dress embroidered with diamonds, the former nail technician walked down the aisle in Towneley's Regent Room to Shania Twain's 'You're Still The One'.
Preceded by two bridesmaids dressed in beige and four flower girls including the couple's two young daughters 19-month-old Ziani and Tienna, four, dressed in cream, Tammy looked every bit the blushing bride.
Former maintenance worker Tom was dressed in grey tails and a peach-coloured tie and he was visibly moved as he saw Tammy for the first time.
Around 100 guests watched the couple exchange vows.
Family friend Lorraine read the poem 'On Your Wedding Day' before guests witnessed the couple sign the register.
As the pair, who hope their wedding will become a 'legacy of love' for their daughters, left the hall they individually thanked each of their guests for coming.
As the wedding party gathered outside, Tammy and Tom released a pair of doves.
Tammy said: "Today has been better than I ever could have imagined. It really is everything I've dreamed of."
Tom added: "It feels great to be married."
After having pictures taken in the hall grounds, the couple travelled to a reception at The Oaks Hotel, Reedley.
Close friend and wedding organiser Wesley Hall said: "I am really pleased we have managed to pull off such a special day in just four weeks.
"Tammy and Tom really deserve their day and thanks to the generosity of the local community and businesses we have been able to make this happen for them.
"We managed to get everything for the wedding apart from drinks donated.
"I think it would have cost more than £20,000 as everyone really has pulled out all the stops."
Best man Daniel Alderson added: "The day has already been everything they wanted and much more. Tom was fairly calm before the wedding."
Family and friends decided to help organise the wedding and raise the cash needed so the couple could concentrate on enjoying their last weeks together.
Tom was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in October and, despite the couple already being engaged, he presented Tammy with a ring on Valentine's Day.
Tammy quit her job to be Tom's full-time carer after he was forced to give up his job as a maintenance worker for Accent Housing.
Last summer Tom started to suffer from a sore neck which he thought was to do with his glands.
During the earlier doctors appointments Tom was told it was an infection and given antibiotics, but when the symptoms didn't ease he was referred to a consultant who carried out a biopsy.
Immediately after the biopsy the consultant told the pair he was almost certain there were white cancerous cells.
More test results confirmed the couple's worst fears that Tom was in the advanced stages of terminal cancer and that he had had the disease for at least two years.
Medics said his condition was so rare they were unsure how to treat him.

A woman was trapped inside her burning home with her cat and two dogs after an arson attack.
Denise Hallam, aged 57, was in her house in Clyde Street, Halliwell, when a sparkler was put through her letter box, setting fire to her front door.
Ms Hallam called the fire service and crews from Bolton Central station arrived to put out the blaze.
She said: "My dogs started barking and then I saw this sparkler come through the door.
"It was really scary. I couldn't get out of the door because it was up and I didn't want to leave my dogs and my cat inside.
"This was definitely deliberate. I have lived here for 14 years and I don't know why anyone would do this or why."
The firefighters dealt with the fire before it spread to the rest of the house.
Ms Hallam said: "The firefighters were absolutely fabulous — they were fantastic."Paramedics checked that Ms Hallam had not suffered any smoke inhalation.
The door of the house was badly damaged.
Ms Hallam added: "I don't know what I am going to do now."
An arson investigation has now been launched by police and the fire service.
A police spokesman said:"We are treating this incidentas arson and would urge anyone with any information about what happened to contact us."
Anyone with information should call the police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Sociology 245. How Organizations Work
Organizations structure much of our lives from birth (in hospitals) to education (in schools) to employment (in government, corporate, academic, or nonprofit) to death. They record our existence and track our spending habits. Understanding how organizations work is central to understanding modern society. We will explore: organizational structure and process, including leadership, power, decision-making and communication; organizational culture; policies, and the diversification and globalization of contemporary organizations. The course is infused with questions around the operations of race, class and gender in contemporary organizatons.
Students may take this course at the 300-level (even if they have taken the 200-level course) which would include: a 4-6 hour per week internship in a formal organization, additional recommended readings, and presentations to the entire class tying the key concepts from the readings to their internship organization.

Ben Bernanke, chairman of the US Federal Reserve, should be applauded for boldly putting employment over price stability in his latest move to keep interest rates low and to purchase mortgage-backed securities. Bernanke's critics (and Bernanke himself) have rightly said that monetary policy is not enough, however. To truly generate employment-led growth in the US, those critics say more fiscal policy is needed.
There is also a need for stronger financial regulation in order to ensure that financial institutions do not steer newfound liquidity into currency and commodity speculation in emerging markets and developing countries—speculation that can wreak havoc on developing countries' financial systems and growth prospects. Such was the case during previous rounds of interest rate declines and quantitative easing in the US, and could occur again. Read more

Date: January 23 2013
Almost 4000 people will become citizens in NSW this Australia Day while others can thank the nation by having their photo taken at free photo booths.
Sydney will be the focus for the national celebrations on Saturday with hundreds of thousands of people expected to celebrate at a number of free events in the metropolitan area.
Millions more will gather with their mates at Australia Day parties in backyards and on beaches.
Australia's most successful export - The Wiggles - will unveil their new line-up at a free show at Hyde Park.
The park will be transformed into a summer playground for the multicoloured group's new act, with special performances from Dorothy the Dinosaur and Skippy.
Australia Day ambassador and former Home and Away star Kate Ritchie will take part in the Thank you Australia Photo Booth at Hyde Park, where people can have their photo taken and leave a message expressing their gratitude.
Similar booths will also be set up in Brisbane and Melbourne.
Sydney Harbour will set the scene for indigenous artist Jessica Mauboy, who will perform atop a floating stage off Blues Point Reserve and Athol Bay.
The city's historic Rocks area will also come alive with the Festival of the Voice, featuring free roots, soul, pop, cabaret outdoor performances headed up by Ash Grunwald and Gurrumul.
Free events will also take place at Bicentennial Park at Sydney Olympic Park, beginning at noon.
Communities across NSW will welcome about 3700 new Australians into their fold during 115 citizenship ceremonies.
"Welcoming our newest citizens is a reminder of our shared values for a democratic and equal society," said president of the Shires Association of NSW, Ray Donald.
The state's celebrations will culminate in a fireworks display over Cockle Bay at 9pm.
Assistant Commissioner Max Mitchell said Australia Day was about celebrating everything great about the nation - but he urged people to celebrate safely.
"We are expecting significant crowds at events in and around Sydney and we want to make sure they remain family-friendly," he said.
"Everyone is welcome to have a good time but not at the expense of other people's safety."
Thousands of additional police will be deployed across NSW focusing on alcohol-fuelled violence and anti-social behaviour.
There will be a number of road closures in Sydney along with special event clearways and changes to traffic conditions across the CBD and Metropolitan areas.
"So if you're headed to an event, catch the train, bus or ferry," Mr Mitchell added.

HOUSTON - Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee gathered several community members and leaders at Peggy Park, just south of Downtown, Monday night to honor the lives lost in Connecticut's tragic school shooting. She also used the time to talk about gun control and said leaders in Washington need to be reasonable and rationale.
Jackson Lee said she plans on co-sponsoring new legislation.
"It will be forward thinking while protecting the second amendment," she said.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading the push to change federal laws and stop new sales of assault weapons and large capacity clips. The mayor would also like to stop sales at gun shows without background checks.
"It's an outrage," he said. "We are killing each other."
The deadly school shooting in Connecticut has caused sales of some weapons, that buyers fear could soon be banned, to go up.
"You're basically punishing law abiding citizens," said one gun enthusiast from Virginia. "If the law says I can own an assault rifle, why can't I own it? If I'm doing the right thing with it?"

Direct mail is advertising material, usually a letter or a flyer, sent by post. It's often used by companies when they have a special offer or promotion or a new product to launch.
Because it's usually in the form of a letter, direct mail is a personal form of communication. It's especially effective if you use your customer database because you can personalise the letter by addressing it to the customer. And customers are more likely to read something addressed to them than a standard, impersonal ad.
This also means you're sending it to your target market – ie people who are interested in your product or service, so you're increasing your chances of a sale. It stands to reason that people who have already bought from you and are happy with your product are more likely to buy from you again.
Direct mail can also be used as a general promotion tool to find new customers and in this case is sent out by letter box distribution. This is effective if you target the areas according to your product – for example, if you sell children's wear, do your letter box drop in a suburb where lots of young families live.
Some people think that with the advent of email marketing, direct mail is becoming obsolete. Emails are certainly cheaper to send, but with a one second press of a key they're deleted, so they're much quicker and easier to get rid of than a letter.
Email is the main form of communication for many people, and in business especially we can receive hundreds of emails per day. With surface mail being much less frequent, direct mail is more of a novelty and more likely to be noticed.
Research has shown that 70% of all direct mail is either read by the recipient or passed on to someone else to read.
As with all advertising, the headline is the most important part of the letter. If the headline doesn't grab the customer's attention, he/she won't read on.
The tone of the letter should be informal and friendly, but still contain all the necessary information about your product. It should also contain an invitation to the customer to take action, eg ring you for a free quote, use an enclosed coupon, visit your store by a certain date to take advantage of a special offer.
For an example of direct mail, read my letter to backpackers about Phillip Island Day Tours.
If you would like to discuss using direct mail for your business, or any other copywriting project, please phone me on 0402 937 773 or email me via the contact form at the top of the page.
If you have any comments about this post, I'd love to hear from you. Please click on 'comments' below.

Gainesville CoWork offers an office setting, minus the expense
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 5:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 5:08 p.m.
Before Gainesville CoWork opened, New York Life financial services agent Sam Julien would meet a client at Starbucks or somewhere to write a new account, drive to Target Copy to make copies and drive to the post office to mail the paperwork.
Gainesville CoWork grand opening ceremony and business showcase,
3-8 p.m., Jan. 17
3951 NW 48th Terrace, Suite 201, in Magnolia Parke
He can now walk over from the nearby Starbucks to handle copying and mailing at the shared workspace and he is increasingly meeting clients there.
"It's probably doubled my productivity just by spending less time in a car," he said.
Gainesville CoWork offers a place for people who need a professional office setting but aren't ready for the expense and commitment of their own office. Users can pay a membership fee for free or reduced prices on a private office or common area seating, conference rooms, a phone line, secure high-speed Internet, copies and prints, and a receptionist, or nonmembers can pay for what they use for the day.
Memberships start at $1,080 annually or $100 a month for an individual. One-day use is $25 for the common area or $50 for a private office.
Gainesville CoWork was founded by Peter West, who worked out of his house or a coffee shop when he started his information technology business, Staunch Systems, and was looking for a professional place to meet clients.
West did not need the support services offered by business incubators such as the Santa Fe Center for Innovation and Economic Development or the University of Florida Innovation Hub, but was not established enough to get his own space.
Once he was able to get his own space, he decided to share it with Gainesville CoWork to give others in a similar situation a place to do business when they needed it.
CoWork opened in the early fall.
Julien was the first customer. He uses the common area about four days a week and last month used a conference room to hold a seminar about estate planning and life insurance.
"It fills a really good niche for the nonstartup, independent contractor kind of person," Julien said. "The whole pay-for-what-you-use is a great model for people who might only be in town for a couple days a week. That's why it's attractive to insurance. If you're out in the field making sales calls, you might only come to the office a couple days a week."
Co-working spaces have been popping up nationwide in recent years. About a dozen have opened or are planned in South Florida, the Miami Herald reported.
With the economy struggling, people are trying to create their own jobs, said David Kim, CoWork account manager.
And the push for innovation means people with great ideas also need places to get started, said Kristen Mankosa, spokeswoman for CoWork.
"The incubators are there to help you. We're here for the next step, for the people who are working independently," she said.
Many co-work spaces are geared toward providing a collaborative environment for technology start-ups, such as the Founders Pad in downtown Gainesville.
With many local techies attracted to downtown, Gainesville CoWork in Magnolia Parke in northwest Gainesville has attracted professional services.
ProActive Tax & Accounting has leased a private office that it staffs one or two days a week.
Beth Davies said they wanted to be the resident accounting firm since CoWork is geared toward startup and growing businesses.
"That's exactly who we're trying to reach," she said.
The location also allows her to keep a presence in Gainesville for clients who balked at her move to Jonesville after partnering with Pam Burns.
Brian Shey, an insurance broker for SterlingWyatt, leased a private office because he wanted a secure location when he is traveling for his work as an NCAA basketball referee or when he is working out of his other office in Charlotte, N.C.
"I'm really only in town two, three days a week," he said. "For a smaller company, it just makes a lot of sense to be able to have a location, but when you start looking at paying rent, the overhead of electric, cable, phone, Internet and then it all rolls into one, it becomes very affordable to be able to do this."

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) announced that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) selected the Calibre® physical verification platform for its Integrated Sign-Off (ISO) Flow, which integrates tools, setup files, and flow management utilities to provide mutual customers with an automated design solution for implementing their chips in TSMC technologies. The new flow is now available for 65nm designs with planned extensions into other process technology nodes.
According to ST Juang, senior director of Design Infrastructure Marketing at TSMC, "Integrated Sign-Off Flow leverages our close partnership with eco-system partners to provide customers with a proven path to targeted TSMC silicon process. We include key physical verification tools from the Calibre platform in the flow, which we use ourselves for advanced designs and are now making available for our customers."
Design companies face the critical challenge of allocating scarce internal resources to validate libraries, EDA tools and design flows for each specific process node, resulting in potential delays in getting designs released to production. Recognizing the importance and need for production-quality design flows, TSMC and Mentor are addressing this issue by providing design flows that seamlessly integrate Mentor's Calibre nmDRC and Calibre nmLVS products for design rule and layout vs. schematic checking. The Calibre platform provides high performance and scalability to reduce turnaround time for the most advanced SoC designs at 65nm and beyond.
"As a close partner with TSMC, we see substantial benefits for our mutual customers by providing a complete design flow, which includes Mentor's sign-off technologies to help achieve faster turnaround, lower overall design cost, and improved manufacturability," said Joseph Sawicki, vice president and general manager for the Design-to-Silicon division at Mentor Graphics.
About Mentor Graphics
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) is a world leader in electronic hardware and software design solutions, providing products, consulting services and award-winning support for the world's most successful electronics and semiconductor companies.

Welcome to NFTE New York Metro's Volunteer Homepage
Since 1987, NFTE New York Metro has served over 40,000 students. This year, we will deliver entrepreneurship education to over 2,100 students in nearly 30 public schools located in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. We also support an active group of 33 Certified Entrepreneurship Teachers (CETs) that teaches NFTE's high school entrepreneurship program or middle school Exploring Careers program to students.
Our more than 350 volunteers are entrepreneurs and business professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise. These dedicated individuals expose NFTE students to different industries by connecting classroom learning to real-life business operations. Our volunteers' efforts have a direct and lasting influence on the personal and professional successes of our young people.
By lending your talent and time, you can present new perspectives on the NFTE curricula to students. We have several exciting volunteer opportunities available that range from one-hour, one-day classroom options to ongoing, multiple-days support roles. As a volunteer, you can select the opportunities that suit your schedule and interest.
As a volunteer, you receive the training, support, and guidance necessary to fulfill your assignment successfully, and gain exclusive access to our volunteer resources. Our program manager and staff are available to help you do the best job you can with our students. Take a moment to view NFTE's principal volunteer positions here and our program office's available opportunities here.
Are you ready to join us as a volunteer? We hope you are. The process is clear and simple. Click the "new volunteer application" button and complete the application and necessary forms. Contact Liliana Pichardo, Lead Program Associate, at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about volunteering.
Our program model
Our program model is a classroom-based, entrepreneurship curriculum that teaches math and literacy skills in the context of developing and presenting a business plan as an end-of-course deliverable. We teach the NFTE curriculum in entrepreneurship classes or integrated into other classes.
Programs are rigorous, experiential, and vital to the development of creative- and critical-thinking skills and innovation. We have class visits from volunteers working in diverse industries across the NY Metro region, who share their expertise with the students and bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-life business practices.
At the end of the course, NFTE students have a chance to compete for seed money through a series of business plan competitions that progress from the classroom, to the regional level, and end at the national level. In addition to the core program model, we offer two advanced entrepreneurship programs: NYC Generation Tech and Startup Summer during the summer months for high-achieving students who hope to take their entrepreneurial knowledge to the next level.
Our student participants
Our students come from low-income communities throughout the nation, which are often rife with crime, violence, and high-dropout rates. However, our entrepreneurship education program gives students hope and helps them improve their lives. We motivate students to stay in school and learn. When students realize how math, reading, and communication skills can make or break their own entrepreneurial venture, their vision of the world changes. They learn to recognize the opportunities for success all around them.
They graduate with the necessary presentation, leadership, and problem-solving skills for continuing their education and contributing to the economy by either running their own businesses or joining the workforce. The strong financial literacy skills that students learn help them to make and manage money.

PHEW!!! I'm back from Full Figured Fashion Week (FFFWeek) in New York and I'm exhausted! LOL! But, it's a good kind of exhausted. Let me just start off my saying, that if you haven't made it out to any of the FFFWeek events, then I highly recommend you trying to attend next year. It was such an amazing experience!! To see fashion for us on a runway in New York City never gets old!
I was a member of The Fashion Front, a selected group of bloggers to cover all of the FFFWeek events. We were given early access and behind the scenes look into all of the plus size happenings. I did take over 2,000 photos while I was there. I will try to post them daily…I ask for mega-patience! LOL!
On the first day, I attended a special press event at 320 Studios (the terrace was amazing). It was a packed house! Most of the designers that were showcasing were in attendance and the press had a chance to meet them and get a sneak peek into their collections. It felt like a reunion as I ran into so many friends, but also met a lot of great people along the way. Take a peek at a few of my photos below!
*All photos were taken by me and are my personal property. No use of these images without my written consent.
Disclosure: I was an official member of the 2012 Full Figured Fashion Week's Fashion Front. I received a gift bag and complimentary access in to all events.

Shares in JB Hi-Fi spiked today after the electronics retailer reported that it had lifted its first half profit by three per cent, and expects full year profit to grow by up to seven per cent.
Shares in the electronics retailer soared 17.1 per cent to $12.89 after reporting that its first half net profit had risen three per cent to $82 million.
JB Hi-Fi, which was the best-performing stock on the S&P/ASX200, also forecast a 7 per cent rise in full year net profit.
''That's an excellent performance by JB in a pretty inclement, overall, retail environment,'' Lonsec private client adviser Michael Heffernan said.
Among other retailers, Harvey Norman advanced 5.9 per cent, Myer jumped 3.1 per cent and David Jones was up 2.7 per cent.
The company made a net profit of $82 million in the six months to December 31, up from $79.6 million in the same period on the previous year.
Total sales grew by 2.3 per cent from the previous corresponding period, due to growth in the company's number of stores.
On a comparable store basis, sales were down 3.5 per cent from the previous corresponding period.
Chief executive Terry Smart on Monday said calendar 2013 had got off to a positive start, with comparable store sales up 4.2 per cent from the previous January.
He has forecast a full year net profit in a range of $108 million to $112 million, up from the previous year's $104.6 million.
Mr Smart said sales of televisions remained a drag on electronics retail.''Whilst we continue to see total sales growth, the visual (TV) category, in particular, negatively impacted comparative store growth,'' he said in a statement.
''The industry has seen TV sales decline over the past few years as the category moves towards a more typical replacement driven sales market.
''The JB brand, however, continued to attract customers with our market share growing solidly.''
JB Hi-Fi opened 11 new stores in the six months to December, and expects to open another four in the second half of this financial year.
It had 176 stores in Australia and New Zealand as of December 31, and plans to have 214 stores in several years time.
Online sales in the six months to December grew by 40 per cent from the previous corresponding period, but at $37.2 million represent just two per cent of its total sales of $1.8 billion.
The company declared a fully-franked interim dividend of 50 cents per share, up from 49 cents at the same time in the previous year.

POINCIANA, Fla. - Osceola County deputies are searching for a man who they said beat a 14-year-old on a Lynx bus.
Deputies said the beating occurred on a bus in the parking lot of a Walmart in Poinciana on Sunday. The victim told deputies he was on the bus sitting next to the man when they got into an argument.
Several sources close to the incident told Local 6 the man and the teen were talking about mixed martial arts, the argument grew heated, the man stood up and asked how many punches the teen thought he could take. That's when the man started hitting.
"That's improper when he fights somebody, probably for something stupid," said Francis Estradad, who rides the bus with his family.
The Lynx bus driver told deputies he saw the man hit the teen and attempted to intervene, but the man unleashed his fury on the driver, and hit him as well.
The man then jumped off the bus and ran away, according to the report.
Neither the teen nor the bus driver suffered serious injuries, but families who ride the bus want the suspect caught before he lashes out again.
Yesenia Ortiz said her daughter rides the bus daily and said, "I think I'm going to start picking her up from her job so she doesn't have to take the bus. The bus should be safe."
For riders, the incident is a lesson in safety.
"Be more safe. Be careful, and be aware of your environment, your surroundings," said Ortiz.
Deputies said there were several witnesses. The man disappeared somewhere in the nearby Walmart parking lot. Anyone there on Sunday evening around 6:21 pm might have seen him as well.
The man is described as Hispanic with fair skin, 5-feet 7-inches tall and weighs 170 pounds, according to deputies. He was wearing a light colored sweater, possibly white, camouflage fatigue style pants and tan/yellow boots.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Osceola County Sheriff's Office at (407) 348-2222 or Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.

Brian Smith at MOPA
With Pictures of the Year International in our galleries, MOPA has been focused on photojournalism lately. We had a great workshop by Sam Hodgson and more recently a presentation by Pulitzer Prize winner, Brian Smith. I wanted to share some of what Brian shared back on August 1st. I certainly won't do him justice, as he is a very charismatic speaker and his career has been a rather dynamic one.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/9/2012 (1808 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It was the one of the toughest calls Tim Burke has had to make in his short time as the Blue Bombers head coach and admittedly -- with hindsight fully in focus afterwards -- he wanted it back.
With his team up 23-22 and 55 seconds on the clock, the interim head coach made the decision to waste some time and punt from the Saskatchewan 36-yard line with the hopes of pinning the Roughriders deep, instead of going for the 43-yard field goal which, if made, would most likely have sealed a Bombers win.
Punter Mike Renaud managed to work the clock down to 37 seconds before kicking the football, but he missed the second part of his assignment. His boot sailed through the end zone, giving the visitors life.
Taking possession at his 35-yard line, Riders rookie backup quarterback Drew Willy needed just three plays to march the ball 43 yards and into field-goal range for kicker Sandro DeAngelis.
The rest, as they say, is history: Heartbreak city for Bomber fans.
"I'll be honest with you -- in retrospect, I should have kicked the field goal," Burke told a room full of reporters after the dust settled on the 25-24 Riders win in the 9th annual Banjo Bowl at Canad Inns Stadium Sunday afternoon.
"It (Winnipeg's potential field-goal attempt) was (43) yards with the wind, I should have just kicked it," Burke continued. "I played it too conservative. Like I said, 'Well surely we can (punt) the ball out of bounds inside the 10... since we didn't even get it within the 20 yards of the sideline, you gotta... I'm really pretty pissed about that. The way our defence was playing, I thought we'd hold in there..."
Burke, who consulted with special teams coach Kyle Walters before making the call, added the defence couldn't allow a big pass in the waning moments -- something they did when Brooks Foster caught a 20-yard reception with 15 seconds to play.
Renaud wore his punting mistake afterwards, telling reporters he just didn't get it done.
"I was supposed to pin them deep -- coffin-corner punt, with the wind at your back... it's a challenge but I didn't execute the play," said Renaud, who leads the CFL with 17 punts inside the 20-yard line (six of those inside the 10). "Ultimately, I didn't do what I was supposed to do.
"It's on me. Whatever happened afterwards happened, but I didn't get the job done.
"I knew right away (when I kicked it)," Renaud added. "The wind at your back, it's just gonna carry a lot easier and I didn't have the right line, I didn't have my aim down and it just took off in the back of the end zone on me."
Bombers kicker Justin Palardy, who went 5-for-7 Sunday thanks to a sputtering Winnipeg attack inside the opposition 35-yard line, said the call was a coach's decision. With the wind at his back, he felt 43 yards easily fell into his range.
"It's just a normal day with the wind, balls are coming off nice," Palardy said. "Like I said, coach made the decision to pin them deep. I understood their thought process -- yeah, pin them deep.
"It just didn't happen."
NO TDs, AGAIN: For the second straight game, and the ninth straight quarter, the Bombers offence failed to get the ball into the end zone, a streak that is telling of a 2-8 ballclub. Point to the sequence of events at the game, but if the club cashes in any of their opportunities Sunday, they're on the winning side.
"It's up to the coaches, they make the decisions," receiver Chris Matthews said when asked if he could put his finger on the offensive woes. "They make the decisions, we have to execute, and we have to live (with) them."
The Bombers have scored just 200 total points in 10 games this season -- including a league-worst 16 touchdowns.

THE former Ship Inn in Walton is to be turned into houses.
Plans approved by Warrington Borough Council last week mean the old pub on Chester Road will be converted.
Fourteen houses will be built using the building, and on adjoining land.
Officials from Walton Parish Council objected over concerns it is a 'daunting' location to exit due to oncoming traffic on Walton Road.
More houses and the associated traffic from developers could increase the risk of an accident, they said.
Planning officers said 30mph signs could be moved further up Walton Road to warn drivers to slow down.
Other residents, including Gordon Greenshield, supported the plans as they plan to form a residents' association with the new homes.
They would then look after woodland next to the site and spend 'their own time and money' on maintaining it.
The approach was praised as 'magnificent' by the planning committee.
It approved the application unanimously, providing traffic conditions are met.

Simple Yield Improvement. (Part 1)Monday, December 31st, 2012
Over the past 15 years we have seen some very amazing advancements in technology. Our electronic devices have become smaller, faster and more powerful. The capabilities of these new devices have brought science fiction to life for many of us. What the common consumer does not realize is that these advancements have occurred in a more destructive Lead-Free assembly process. Lead Free assembly methods consisting of higher assembly temperatures (around 260ºC) for longer dwell times at temperature along with a smaller processing window for success. The assembly methods today are challenged to not only maintain yields but to improve them. All the while cutting costs where ever possible. The desire to cut cost is where we see the result of unintended consequences.
I have been asked repeatedly by customers for my opinion on methods to improve yields. I evaluate designs and work with designers and assemblers on solutions to help them improve yields. This includes in process and post process yields. In other words build it right the first time and make sure it lasts in the field. A common question I am asked by customers is…
What is the one thing that we can do that can improve our yields?
The answer is very simple… (more…)

The BIG thing of this bill is that it requires the EPA to provide achievable actions and NOT result based actions.
Some results that Obamas EPA regulations will take decades or maybe centuries if EVER to achieve.

HOUSTON - Authorities say if you have a warrant, you can run, but you can't hide during the Great State Warrant Roundup.
The roundup targets thousands of defendants with outstanding warrants for traffic, parking, city ordinance, penal code violations and higher charges from participating jurisdictions.
Deputies with Harris County Precinct 1 started out early Saturday morning. They said they're looking for people with outstanding misdemeanor warrants.
"It's really hit or miss," said Deputy Joel Garcia with Precinct 1. "You don't know who's going to be home and who's not going to be home, but we're usually pretty successful."
Garcia, along with Deputy Geno Benavides targeted the northeast side of their precinct. They said these are warrants for traffic violations or hot checks. Most of the people were not at home, so the deputies left a note on the door.
Officials said some didn't even live at the address anymore. However, deputies said an attempt to reach the person has to be made.
For Harris County Constable Alan Rosen, this day is an attempt to go after roughly 25,000 misdemeanor warrants.
"We can pick them up at work and at home," said Rosen. "We can pick them up anywhere we have good information we can locate these people."
In one case, deputies said the door they were knocking on opened. They said they drew their guns and went inside.
"For public safety, we want to make sure there wasn't anybody down," said Benavides.
Deputies said one person told them he knew exactly why deputies were there. They told him he had traffic warrants, that on Saturday, landed him in jail, officials said.
The person told Local 2 he was going to take care of the warrants with his tax return, but deputies beat him to it.
Officials said the warrant roundup is believed to be the largest joint operation of its kind, with arrests expected to continue for several days.
If you have a warrant in Houston, officials said a notice should have been mailed to you. If you have a warrant somewhere other than Houston, you're encouraged to contact that jurisdiction for information about how to clear it.

Guiseley were rewarded with a double as the Blue Square Bet North Division awards for January were announced, with Steve Kittrick picking up the manager of the month while forward Josh Wilson was named player of the month.
The Lions won all four of their league games and progressed to the final of the West Riding County Cup for a third successive season.
Wilson has been in fine form and notched important goals - he is the Lions' leading scorer with 12.
Kittrick was more delighted to be in the final of the most prestigious non-league trophy West Yorkshire has to offer as they try to defend their crown after winning the last two finals at Valley Parade.
He said: "It was a very tricky semi-final against Harrogate Railway but I thank the weather for playing into our hands.
"Because we have a break of almost a fortnight, I needed to get a full first-team squad involved in the game.
"There was nothing to be gained by making changes to get people who have spent a lot of time on the bench recently or who are coming back from injury or suspension some time on the pitch. Our regulars needed game-time after three postponements."
Kevin Holsgrove was the star of the show after coming off the bench to grab a second half hat-trick, impressing the manager.
Kittrick added: "Kevin grasped his chance with a nine-minute hat-trick but his overall contribution was fantastic, never mind the goals.
"Fair play to the lad if he is that hungry and willing to show us he wants a start in the next game then that can only by a good thing.
"The only down side was that Danny Ellis tweaked his groin in the game and we finished with ten men because it was after we had made all three substitutions.
"But I would be surprised if Danny isn't fit for tomorrow because he is a tough old boot. It would take a tank to stop him."

NAOMI Riches admits she still hasn't come down to earth after winning rowing gold at the Paralympics two months ago.
The Marlow star topped the podium in the mixed cox fours at Eton Dorney, and says her life has been a bit of a whirlwind ever since.
Apart from training twice a day, six days a week, Riches has had plenty to fill her time besides.
She said: "Everything has been full-on ever since the Paralympics.
"I have been called to appear at everything from singing at the Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall to receiving a special award from the Mayor of Harrow. It's been crazy really.
"I've even got to meet Stephen Fry, which capped one ambition.
"The past few months, since winning gold, have been crazy but I wouldn't swap it for the world. I'm a Paralympic gold medallist, and that is still sinking in really."
The 29-year-old started rowing for Great Britain while she ws studying at Buckinghamshire New University in 2006.
Bronze in Beijing followed two years later, before she reached the pinnacle of her sport in London.
She's not finished yet though, and the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Seoul is her next target.
She said: "I hope I can put across the message to people I meet that with hard work and determination you can achieve you goals and ambitions, no matter how overwhelming it seems at first.
"In the rowing team we have a saying 'always row as if you're in bronze medal position', so even if you have achieved what you were aiming for in training, you then just strive for an even better result.
"I think that's an ethos that has served me well so far but we will have to see whether I can make it to the next Paralympics in Rio in 2016. I would love to be there but it is a long way off and there are a lot of other athletes competing for spots on the team."

Festive fun will fill Malmesbury's high street tomorrow evening despite the floods last weekend.
Torrential rain caused the River Avon to flood in the early hours of Sunday, flooding the centre of town and at least a dozen houses.
But that has not dampened plans to have the town's Christmas lights switched on at 6.15pm tomorrow by the Earl of Suffolk, followed by the arrival of Father Christmas.
An eclectic mix of stallholders, including Fat Buddha's Cafe, Heals, the Stencil Shed and the Cotswold Pudding Co, will be on the streets until 9pm.
Entertainment will include carol singers, bell ringers, musicians, street entertainers and Santa's new grotto.
Paul Baker, the chairman of Malmesbury Chamber of Commerce said: "In keeping with the theme Think Local, Buy Local, more than 30 exciting Christmas market stalls will be offering festive fare.
"They will be selling wonderful gifts such as home-made gingerbread and local sparkling wine, perfect for the Christmas season.
"There will also be home-made pickles, jams, chocolates, chilli oil, works of art, Christmas decorations and trees, captivating photographs of this historic town, vintage gifts and much more.
"Visitors will also receive a warm welcome from local traders, who will be keeping their doors open late with everything you need to get your Christmas shopping list all wrapped up.
"Refreshments and snacks will be on hand to keep you warm and at Leonard Walker's barbecue, and all proceeds will be donated to the charity SANDS – Stillbirth And Neonatal Death Society.
"Malmesbury Chamber of Commerce is proud to organise this very popular event and looks forward to welcoming visitors from Malmesbury and all the surrounding villages and towns."
A free park and ride bus will run between Malmesbury Garden Centre and Cross Hayes throughout the evening, courtesy of Andy James and the garden centre.

Topic: Starting steriotactic tomorrow!
I start five rounds of steriotactic radiation tomorrow. It killed two other tumors so I am hopeful it will kill my one tumor and one suspicious area of concern. So blessed that they were able to map out a pathway to reach both areas. God is so good. Please pray for good results.
