Northern Arizona Center for Entrepreneurship, NACET:
Based in a small town in northern Arizona, this business incubation is fostering the growth of emerging companies with big ideas, while also creating jobs and expediting the commercialization of technology-based companies' products.
Northern Arizona Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (NACET) began as a virtual program in 2000 until it rooted the organization in Flagstaff. The 10,000-square-foot building housing 24 offices and six labs was completed Nov. 2008.
The organization is shedding light on and executing a different approach to increasing economic development in the area ― economic gardening. This approach grows companies locally so they have a much better chance of remaining in the area, instead of relocating many times, says Russ Yelton, president and CEO of NACET.
Linked to eight incubators in six foreign countries, NACET provides technology commercialization services both domestically and internationally with accepted clients specializing in different realms, including clean energy, biotech and software.
The organization provides entrepreneurs the essential elements to success, according to Yelton, with one-on-one assistance setting quarterly goals as well as helping clients meet said goals, provide student teams advanced software, and access to its laboratory, which includes millions of dollars of equipment.
NACET has more than 40 mentors in addition to regular staff; the mentors are comprised of various professionals, including attorneys, CPAs and others.
"As we're working with the clients and developing their plans and many times their management, which we spend a lot of time doing, we can get a contract reviewed by an attorney or a marketing plan reviewed by someone who does just that," Yelton says.
NACET also functions as a tech transfer office for Northern Arizona University.
"We assess with all of the technology transfer activities, and make sure the companies have access to patents coming out of there," Yelton says.
Since its opening in 2008, NACET is now 100 percent occupied with 33 companies, all of which are expected to graduate and be self sufficient within one to five years, depending on the type of company.
Less than two years ago, NACET housed nine companies, and the organization's success only continues to flourish.
In 2009, NACET's clients spent $17 million, had a regional impact of $29 million, and NACET documented 103 new jobs created on an average salary of $85,000, Yelton says.
NACET has met and exceeded its goals, its EDA grant requires it to create 500 jobs in 10 years. Yelton says they estimate it will be done in six to seven years.
Yelton owes NACET's success to its linkage to the community. Funded by the City of Flagstaff and NAU, NACET has "specific, very strategic alliances," all of which co-promote one another.
"Without the support of the city, university and other organizations, there's no way we can have the success we have," Yelton says. "Because of the EDA grant, our program is also regional so we have clients from Phoenix all the way to Flagstaff."
NACET is even involved with the reservations, including the San Carlos Apache tribe, which has recently opened an incubator focusing on Native American artists. NACET helps to provide training to the incubator manager as well as training to entrepreneurs on the reservation.
NACET is also under contract with the Navajo Nation for an incubator feasibility study, as well as in discussion with the Hopi tribe to identify potential models that will work on the reservation. However, there are challenges.
"Because (reservations) have such high unemployment, part of our focus has been on looking at things that a lot of Native Americans purchase off the reservations and identify opportunities for entrepreneurs on the reservations to start those businesses to provide those items and services," Yelton says.
From the reservation to the university, NACET also provides a working environment for students in its hands-on internship program as well as its Student Business Incubator program, where students learn the ins and outs of effectively managing, marketing and running a small business.
According to Yelton, the program, in short, sends this message to students: "Why go find a job when you can create one for yourself."
Above all, it's the opportunity to network that is one of the most attractive qualities of NACET and its services.
"We have a lot of instances where we have one client, and we will see potential benefit of relationship with another client; so there's a lot of introductions," Yelton says. "To be able to sit down with a lot of your peers who are also undergoing a lot of the same business-development-related experiences is something you can't get if you rent an office by yourself."

Not all of the nine states defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as making up the Northeast—Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont—are as evidently opportunity-rich as the big retail states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. But even the smaller states have their big moments.
In Vermont, for instance, while there are no lifestyle centers (see story on page 138), there are vibrant downtown areas, albeit mostly small. And there are population pockets that present their own retail draws for the surrounding communities. Then there's Rhode Island, which, despite its small stature, seems to incite big interest from the nation's big-box retailers.
In the uber-historic states of Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire (see story on page 134), developers are also finding opportunity. Lifestyle centers abound, in spite of frigid winter temps, and developments of all kinds—particularly those that are tenant-driven—are finding success.
No surprise that the Northeastern big boys—Pennsylvania and New York—are hosting significant retail development and redevelopment activities. Pennsylvania (see story on page 126) tells an especially interesting retail story because, in essence, it is two states in one. The Philadelphia part of the state—the East—is more in character with its Northeastern surrounds. But the western half? Decidedly Midwestern, and its retail is often reflective of that less-cosmopolitan personality.
There are numerous ways to slice and dice when you're dividing a Northeastern pie into nine pieces. In this special real estate supplement to Chain Store Age— the Northeastern Market Profile—we have divvied up the feature coverage into three groups of three states, and provided you with a market capsule on each state. And, as is customary in these regular real estate supplements, we feature a plethora of project profiles (starting on page 142) that serve to sum up development successes throughout the Northeastern corridor.

THE local football and rugby schedule for today looks set to be virtually washed out due to torrential downpours across the country.
Forest Green's Skrill Premier clash against Salisbury City at the New Lawn and Yate Town's Southern League Division One South and West game at Wimborne Town have been postponed due to waterlogged pitches.
In the Western League Premier Division, Hallen and Slimbridge's games against Gillingham Town and Buckland Athletic respectively have also been called off.
However, Winterbourne United's game against Bristol Manor Farm is set to go ahead on the new all-weather pitch at Oaklands Park in Almondsbury.
Almondsbury UWE's First Division clash at home to Bradford Town and Tytherington Rocks' Hellenic League Division One West fixture at Malmesbury Victoria have also fallen victim of the wet weather.
Most, if not all, other fixtures in the lower leagues in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire are expected to be postponed after heavy overnight rain.
In rugby, the Western Counties North derby between North Bristol and Avon has been called off.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Protesters held their second march at Hemming Plaza in downtown Jacksonville on Saturday in response to the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City.
As a leaderless organization, Occupy Jacksonville says it seeks to establish a permanent presence in the First Coast area and work conjugation with Occupy Wall Street.
Last week, an estimated 250 people turned out for the protest at Hemming Plaza, holding hand-made signs with messages like "we are the 99%" and "end plutocracy."
Video:Photo Story:
Protests against Wall Street continue as demonstrators across the country show their anger over the wobbly economy and what they see as corporate greed.
Among those joining the demonstrations were the liberal group MoveOn.org and various community organizations. Camille Rivera, the executive director of United NY, says the protesters are "capturing a feel of disempowerment, feeling like nobody is listening to them."
Organizers want to stress that "nonviolence is paramount" to the protest's success.
Channel 4's Jim Piggott said there were several hundred Occupy Jacksonville members downtown Saturday afternoon, holding up signs and yelling demands over megaphones.
There were also others speaking out against the protesters, including some who said they did not have a permit to be in Hemming Park.
"I believe that everybody has a right to voice their opinion whatever it may be," said Jacksonville city council member Don Redman. "The biggest problem I have with the event is they did not get a permit."
Later in the evening, a small group of protesters stood outside the Omni Hotel downtown, where Florida Governor Rick Scott was scheduled to attend an event.

The expanded Panama Canal will trigger a huge increase in commerce, and Louisiana should be doing more to take advantage of it, an official involved in the project said.
Luis Carlos Ferreira, who used to live in Louisiana, noted that states along the Gulf Coast and east coast are upgrading ports and taking other steps to prepare for giant, cargo-hauling ships that are about to become commonplace when the $5.2 billion project is completed in 2015.
Cargo shipped through the expanded canal is expected to triple, and 337 million tons went through in 2011.
Ferreira ticked off a list of ports undergoing major improvements, including Houston, Miami and sites in Mississippi and Alabama.
"So as you can see everyone is doing something to get prepared," he said. "We need to do something to get prepared in Louisiana."
Ferreira is a communications specialist officer and engineer operators coordinator for the Panama Canal expansion program.
He made his comments during the annual meeting of the American Council of Engineering Companies, which sent a delegation in June to look at the widening project and how Louisiana can take advantage of the increase in shipping traffic.
"Obviously the widening is going to generate more cargo, and that cargo is on its way somewhere," Anthony J. Mumphrey Jr., president of the ACEC's Louisiana branch, said earlier this year.
"One of those places could be the ports in Louisiana," Mumphrey said.
In July, the group endorsed a bill by Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans, that would require the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to dredge the Mississippi River to 50 feet from its mouth to Baton Rouge to accommodate bigger ships that will be going through the Panama Canal.
ACEC officials have said the larger ships would make it more cost effective to ship larger quantities of commodities, such as coal, grain, liquid natural gas and chemicals,
However, Richmond's bill shows little sign of life in the House.
State Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain said the canal project could have a major impact on Louisiana.
"It is a game changer," Strain said. "It is going to be very positive."
He said one step that would help the state take advantage of the expansion would be for Congress to pass a bill by Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, called the RAMP Act.
Boustany's measure would dedicate more funds to river dredging and port projects in Louisiana, and elsewhere.
A weaker version of the plan was included in the federal transportation bill that was signed into law in July.
That provision said funds from the $7 billion Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund "should" be used for dredging and port work.
However, since such spending is not required, it is unclear what if any impact the law will have on Boustany's goal.
The Republican, who is seeking re-election, faces fellow Republican Rep. Jeff Landry, of New Iberia, in the Dec. 8 runoff.
Strain has endorsed Boustany.
The Panama Canal links commerce between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
It will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2014.
Nearly 15,000 ships passed through the canal in 2011.
The U.S. accounts for 65 percent of the traffic. China is second with 24 percent.
The project includes the addition of two new locks to handle mega ships never envisioned when the original canal opened.
"Big ships with a lot of cargo, they barely fit in the Panama Canal," Ferreira said.
He said the project is much more than a renovation.
"Actually what we are doing is building another canal," Ferreira said.
Population growth forecasts in the U.S. between now and 2030 are among the driving forces behind bigger ships hauling more cargo, he said.
Louisiana has 28 active ports.
The Port of New Orleans made improvements earlier this year to capture its share of the expected increase in container cargo after the expanded canal starts operations.


text: UK 26 February 2013 Why, despite everything, the Lib Dems are still set to win Eastleigh A new poll from Lord Ashcroft putting the Lib Dems five points ahead in the by-election shows that local issues continue to take precedence over national ones. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML After one of the worst weekends of press coverage for the Lib Dems in recent history, the party will be relieved that it is still on course to win in Eastleigh on Thursday. The final poll of the campaign, conducted by Lord Ashcroft (profiled by Andrew Gimson in this week's NS), puts the Lib Dems on 33 per cent (+2), five points ahead of the Tories, who are down to six points to 28 per cent, with UKIP in third place on 21 per cent (+8) and Labour a distant fourth on 12 per cent (-7). The fieldwork took place between Friday and Sunday, so after the Rennard story broke, although it is worth noting that the most damaging front pages for the party didn't appear until Monday following Clegg's admission that he was aware of "indirect and non-specific concerns" about the Lib Dem peer. But even with this proviso, it appears unlikely that the scandal will swing the contest in the Tories' favour. The reason, as I suggested yesterday, is that local issues continue to take precedence over national ones. Ashcroft's poll shows that the most important factor in determining how people will vote is "getting the best local MP". Nearly half of all voters (45 per cent) and 65 per cent of Lib Dems cite this as the main influence on their decision. Significantly, then, the Lib Dems enjoy a 19-point lead on "understanding the Eastleigh constituency and representing local people in parliament", with 40 per cent of all voters and 90 per cent of Lib Dems awarding them this accolade. Also in the Lib Dems' favour is that a majority of voters (55 per cent), including 47 per cent of Conservative supporters, say that they expect the party to win, a factor that, as Ashcroft suggests, may heighten the attraction of "a nothing-to-lose vote for UKIP". But few ever got rich betting on by-elections, and the poll shows that the potential for an upset remains; a total of 27 per cent of voters remain undecided. The Tories, for whom defeat would be written up as a humiliating failure (even if, as the poll suggests, voters are unmoved by the Huhne and Rennard scandals), have every incentive to fight to the death. › Since when were science toys just for boys?

Rabbi Elly Andrusier and the Cookie Monster, played by Raphael Cohen of Irvine, lit a chocolate chip cookie menorah on Tuesday night at The District at Tustin Legacy.
More than 100 people attended the lighting on the fourth night of Hanukah. In addition to the Cookie Monster, Sesame Street character Elmo, played by Yacov Ronen, 17, of Irvine, was also on hand for the festivities. Entertainment was provided by the Ten Commandments band. The lighting was held by Chabad of North Irvine and Chabad of Irvine.
The menorah contained thousands of miniature kosher chocolate chip cookies placed by Rabbi Eli Tenebaum. The edible menorah idea came from Andrusier's wife and draws crowds, Andrusier said. The two have created edible menorahs the past eight years, starting with an ice cream menorah.

Shikotan, Kuril Islands Earthquake, October 4, 1994, Set 1
Scarp formed at the top of the hill as a result of a tectonically-induced landslide (view to the east). Note the large soil blocks that have slid down into the open fissure.
A magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred in the southern Kurils and on northern Hokkaido on Tuesday, October 5, 1994, (October 4 at 13:23 GMT). It was a sudden event, without any short-term precursors or foreshocks. The earthquake epicenter was located 80 km east southeast of Shikotan Island. The slides in this set show views of a newly-created landslide formation, ground cracks, structural damage, and effects of tsunami runup on Shikotan Island. The documentation is a scientific overview of this event, written by a member of the international team that studied it.Viacheslav K. Gusiakov Computing Center, Novosibirsk, 630090, RussiaA magnitude 8.1 earthquake hit the southern Kurils and northern Hokkaido on Tuesday, October 5, 1994, at 00:23 local time (October 4 at 13:23 GMT). It was a sudden event, without any short-term precursors or foreshocks. The earthquake epicenter was located 80 km east southeast of Shikotan Island, the biggest island in the Small Kuril (Habomai) group of islands. The earthquake was the largest shallow event in the Pacific since the 1989 Macquarie Ridge earthquake. It was felt over a large area from Severo-Kurilsk, Paramushir Island (about 1200 km north of the epicenter) to Tokyo, Honshu Island (about 800 km to the south). The source parameters of the main shock as determined by different seismological agencies and tsunami warning centers are shown in Table 1.The main shock was followed by an extensive series of aftershocks. The network of the Research Center for Earthquake Prediction (RCEP), Hokkaido University, recorded 440 events during the first day, 2,100 events during the first week and more than 4,000 events during the first month. The largest aftershock, Ms=7.3 (RCEP data), occurred on October 9, 1994, at 07:56 GMT.On Shikotan Island, located closest to the earthquake source region, ground shaking was extremely intense. The intensity was reported to be between IX and X on the abridged Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale (12 intensity scale). Two major fissures occurred on Shikotan near Malokurilskoe and Krabozavodskoe villages (see photos 1-9). Numerous ground cracks were reported from other islands. Communications with the mainland were interrupted by the shock and were restored only by the next morning. As a result, a tsunami warning from the regional Tsunami Warning System in Yuzhno- Sakhalinsk was not delivered to the island in a timely fashion. Heavy destruction was reported on Kunashir and Iturup Islands. Telephone and electric power, as well as the water supply, were cut in many villages in the Southern Kurils. Fortunately, there was no fire caused by this quake. At that time of year heating systems were not inuse and cutting the electric supply helped prevent igniting fires in domestic locations. At Hokkaido, highways buckled and were shattered by deep fissures. Some bridges collapsed. The strong quake shook goods off the shelves of shops in the coastal city of Kushiro, Japan. Office workers had to hold their computers down to keep them from bouncing off their desks. NHK public television said that the quake blacked out more than 10,000 homes on Hokkaido and paralyzed rail traffic in Aomori Prefecture (the northern tipof Honshu). In Kushiro, telephones and electrical power were cut in someareas and road and rail traffic was halted after the quake.CasualtiesThe total casualty toll was relatively small for an 8.1 magnitude earthquake. In the Southern Kuril Islands, 11 people were killed and 242 were injured. Of these casualties, seven were buried under the ruins of a two- story military hospital in Goryachie Klyuchi Village on Iturup island. On Shikotan Island, two people were killed by falling building debris as they tried to leave their apartments. Most of the people in the affected area experienced a heavy shock after almost three minutes of continuous shaking accompanying the low-frequency sound and spent the night outside buildings even though some of the buildings were not seriously damaged. None of the casualties in the Kurils were due to the tsunami itself, mainly because the wave heights in all populated areas did not exceed 1.5 to 2 meters.The Kyodo News Agency reported that more than 140 people were injured. One 73-year old man was reported dead, apparently from a heart attack, and one woman was seriously hurt when her car plunged off a collapsing bridge.TsunamiA regional tsunami warning was issued by Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and broadcast on TV stations with impressive speed. At 13:28 UTC, just five minutes after the quake, the NHK transmitted a map of Japan with the eastern coast of Hokkaido flashing in red to indicate a "tsunami warning" area, and the Pacific coast of Honshu flashing in yellow to indicate a "tsunami caution" area. However, at that time it was not accompanied by any information about the earthquake, its position and size, leaving TV viewers ignorant of where the earthquake occurred and how large it was (Abbot, 1994). This information was released by JMA several minutes later.In Russia, a tsunami warning for the Southern Kurils was issued by the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Seismological Observatory at 13:32 UTS (00:32 local time). However, it was not transmitted to the threatened area until the next morning because communications with Shikotan and Kunashir were broken by the earthquake.At 14:33 UTC, a Pacific-wide tsunami warning was issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) based on the seismological criterion (magnitude greater than 7.5) and reported 1.73 meter run-up in Nemuro, Japan. Although no damaging Pacific-wide tsunamis have ever been generated in the Southern Kuril region, there was lingering concern of the potential threat for Hawaii, when the Midway tide gauge reported 0.5 meter oscillations of water level (Tsunami Newsletter, 1995). The highest wave in Hawaii was only 0.8 meter (peak to trough) observed in Kahuliu, Maui. The highest recording on the U.S. west coast was 1.1 meter (peak to trough) at Crescent City, California. The list of observed tsunami wave heights is shown in Table 2. The majority of the regional data are results of measurements made during the field survey while most of the distant data are taken from the post-event analysis of mareograph records.The largest tsunami runup was measured on the eastern coast of Shikotan Island. The runup varies from 6.0 to 10.4 m, with very smooth variation along the coast line, indicating the long period of the maximum wave. The highest wave in Japan (nearly 3.5 m, peak to trough) was measured by the tide gauge in Hanasaki (northern Hokkaido). All distant tsunami heights were less than 1 meter, so that no damaging Pacific-wide tsunami was generated by this quake. However, this tsunami was recorded clearly by many tide gauges throughout the Pacific.The earliest and probably the largest cataloged event (magnitude Ms=8.2) occurred here on April 25, 1843. The exact position of the source region for this event is unknown. However, severe seismic shaking and damage was reported in the large area between Urup Island in the north and Kushiro, Japan, in the south. The data on tsunami heights in the Southern Kurils are not available, but Iida (1984) reported 4.5 m waves near Kushiro. The next large (Ms=7.9) event in the area occurred on March 22, 1894, with the reported maximum tsunami runup of 4 m at Miyako, Japan.After this event, there were no large (with Ms>7.9) earthquakes for a number of years. Then, 64 years later, on November 6, 1958, an earthquake of Ms=8.2 occurred near Iturup Island. This earthquake generated tsunamis, and the maximum runup height (about 5 m) was reported on the east coast of Iturup Island. Only 11 years later (on August 11, 1969) another large earthquake (Ms=8.2) struck the same region, about 150 km south-west of the 1958 event. The maximum runup height (up to 5 m) was measured on the east coast of the Shikotan Island. The tsunami source areas of the 1958 and 1969 events overlap each other for about 50 km along the trench. The present Shikotan earthquake of October 4, 1994, occurred near the same location as the 1969 event. The aftershock areas of both events almost coincide with each other; the deviation in the area locations was only on the order of 20 30 km. There were other recent and substantial earthquakes at nearly the same location. An earthquake of Ms=7.0 occurred on June 10, 1975, at the northeastern edge of the 1994 Shikotan earthquake source region. Despite its smaller magnitude, tsunamis with 2.5 m height were measured at the nearest coast. The 1975 event is considered to be an example of a so-called tsunami earthquake (Kanamori, 1972). Furthermore, the southwestern edge of the 1994 Shikotan earthquake source is also overlapped by the source area of the June 17, 1973, magnitude 7.4 earthquake. The latest events in this area were a series of five tsunamigenic earthquakes of March 1978 which occurred at the northeastern edge of the 1994 event source area.SurveyThe tsunami reconnaissance survey was conducted from October 16 through November 1, 1994, by an international team consisting of sixteen Russian scientists and two members from the United States. Tsunami runup height measurements were made in Shikotan, Iturup, Kunashir, and small islands between Shikotan and Hokkaido (Ivaschenko et al., 1996; Yeh et al., 1995). Many measurements along the Hokkaido coast were carried out soon after the event by the Tohoku University group (Sendai, Japan).

Ladies…ladies…ladies…it's time to get sexy up in here. Let me introduce you to your new favorite lingerie line…Curvy Couture.
This line was made for us. Seriously, it was! Designer and Founder Dora Lau has many years designing full figure lingerie and has finally launched her own line. The Curvy Couture Collection is where "beautiful and glamorous garments are created to enhance and support a natural woman's curves." They carry bras, panties, corsets, garter belts, accessories, and body care.
I'm always so skeptical when ordering lingerie online, especially bras. And although I want sexy, I still want comfort and full coverage. I'm finicky like that! LOL!
The second I put on the Animal Skin Lace Push-up Balconette ($54) and Animal Skin Lace Tanga ($24) I was really happy with the fit. The bra and panty fit comfortably. There was support, no wires digging into me, and it was a full coverage bra. Thank goodness! The tanga sits right below the belly button and the sheer behind added extra sexiness to an already sexy panty.
When it comes to sizing the bra seems to run true to size and the closure is a three hook clasp. In the undie I went up a size to the 18/20 just to be on the safe side. I'm normally a size 16, so it fit just a teeny bit too big, but not too much. It's still comfortable. Next time I'll probably order the 14/16. The bra sizes range from 36C-44DD and the panties are in sizes 6/8, 10/12, 14/16, 18/20, 22/24. As you can see in the pics below, the quality and material is ahhhhhmazing! I'm not sure about wear and tear on these. I guess I'll find out.
If you're in the market for new lingerie check them out and if you don't like it, they offer free shipping and returns! Oh…make sure to take a peek at the video at the end of the post.

Politicians are experts at reacting to things. If something has happened, they will have an opinion at the very least, maybe even some outrage. Or better still; an actual practical response. But on Monday evening at The Lodge, the Prime Minister went against the grain, and did an outstanding job of not reacting.
Standing behind her partner, Tim Mathieson, as he addressed the West Indian cricket team about the importance of prostate checks, Julia Gillard was already wearing a mask of neutral concentration.
Then, when he made the ''small'', ''female,'' ''Asian'' trifecta, the prime ministerial expression did not budge. For a millisecond, you could almost see her brain register the comment (For the love of all that is atheistically holy!), but Gillard stood there, unmoved.
Unfortunately, while the PM tried to pretend the joke did not exist, the sound of people slapping their foreheads echoed across the land.
Tony Abbott (demonstrating his reacting skills) called for Gillard to ''deal'' with the matter ''personally''. MPs from both sides of the canyon lined up to deem the comment in bad taste. And prostate experts chimed in to describe it as ''unhelpful'' to the cause. Before morning tea on Tuesday, Mathieson issued an apology.
Luckily for him, the bugle of condemnation did not linger, thanks to Gillard revealing the election date and Craig Thomson spending Thursday afternoon at the Wyong Court House.
And yet, as the country began to focus on other things, the episode highlighted what a tricky role Mathieson occupies. We don't often see him or know that much about him (beyond the fact he gave the PM a cavoodle). Indeed, he is really only thrust into the spotlight when he stuffs up. The rest of the time, he is regarded with something between scepticism and low-level mockery.
The mere fact that Mathieson is called the ''first bloke'' in quasi-official circumstances suggests that we don't really take his position seriously. And it is impossible to mention Mathieson without also mentioning that he used to cut hair for a living - as if this is really weird or hilarious. Or both.
In the 2011 comedy At Home With Julia, Tim was portrayed as a hapless dude who hung around the Lodge and was teased mercilessly by local kids while Julia was out running the country.
In real life, Mathieson is not presented much differently. As The Advertiser observed last November: ''When he's not running her bath, fetching the newspaper or blow-drying her hair, the Prime Minister's partner [is] often flopped on the couch at the Lodge watching her in Parliament.''
Even the stuff he does do in an official capacity is filed under questionable or quirky.
When he was appointed ambassador for men's health in 2008 (Gillard was still deputy PM), it was billed as ''controversial'' and both Kevin Rudd and Gillard were quizzed about his credentials. When he's with the PM overseas, it's often pointed out that he's the only male on the spouse program, a lone bloke left to talk hairdressing with the wives.
For three years, Mathieson has been a committed ambassador for Men's Sheds, but even that has an air of the joke about it. Articles describe him as ''tinkering'' or wearing a flanny. In their 2011 60 Minutes interview, Gillard laughed ''no girls allowed'' as Tim showed off his backyard domain.
Perhaps part of the awkwardness with Mathieson is not so much that he's a ''bloke'' but that he is a relative latecomer to Gillard's political life. They got together in 2006 - when she was already an established senior MP. He hasn't had the practice of all the school fetes over the years, and we don't have the familiarity. That, and there seems to be some sort of effort by the Prime Minister's office to keep him out of the public eye.
While he is widely regarded as a likeable guy and is devoted to several important causes, he is a noticeably less prominent figure than some of his predecessors. Therese Rein had a schedule and social media profile to rival her husband. Janette Howard was more behind the scenes, but she accompanied John throughout his career.
In many ways, Mathieson's job is not an enviable one. Unlike the United States, Australia does not have a defined role for the ''first spouse''. We assume that whoever has the gig will decide what they want to do with it. But this set-up becomes unfair when we feel like they aren't fulfilling the (non-existent) job description.
This is not to say that Mathieson is having a horrible time of it. Or that he is doing a horrible job. But next time we feel like slapping our foreheads or sniggering about our ''first bloke'', maybe we should take a leaf out of Gillard's book and react a little less.

Using a 3-inch round cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out dough. Repeat process, gathering scraps and rolling until you have 8 circles. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until tops and bottoms are golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to 1 wire rack and let cool completely. Meanwhile, place beaters from an electric mixer and a medium-size metal or glass bowl in the freezer and chill until very cold, about 10 minutes. In chilled bowl, combine cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate whipped cream for up to 2 hours. In a medium bowl, toss peaches, lemon juice and remaining granulated sugar to combine. Set aside. Using a serrated knife, split shortcakes in half horizontally. Place bottom halves, cut side up, on 8 plates. Divide reserved peaches among bottom halves of shortcakes. Top each with a dollop of reserved whipped cream, then cap with a top half.

Could be anything from a weather balloon to a remote control toy, or even a new aircraft being tested, but this video has a lot of people taking a good, hard look at the object in the below video.

Topic: Remembering and Giving Thanks for my Mom
Thankfulness is the number one lesson learned from my mother's illness. Thankfulness for time, memories, laughter, and family. Thanksgiving 2007, I spent the day cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner for my uncle, brother, and mother. We gathered in the living room where my mother's bed was, set the table there, and shared our meal. It was quiet and left me feeling immensely grateful for the experience. My mother lost her battle with cancer early the next morning and I couldn't help but think that Thanksgiving was the most appropriate time for this to happen. Each year I find myself not being sad, instead, I feel my spirit fill with gratitude for the privilege of being part of her life. This is the link to the slide show played at the celebration of her life. I find it uplifting to reflect on her life and all of the happy moments captured in these photographs. Please enjoy, and have a Happy Thanksgiving filled with your own moments of thankfulness.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Another project that Ron Talmage and several other of my Solid Quality Mentors colleagues have been working on is a new system views poster for SQL Server 2008. I'm told that it's going to go out with the December issue of SQL Server Magazine.
I got a copy of this at the PASS summit and it's excellent. In fact, stocks ran out before the conference even really got started.
Congratulations to all involved.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 6.13.13
"Then she makes faces like that one she's doing back there and the writers just start deleting whole pages."
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed where it seems to be a spiritual kind of day, whether it's Yeezus delivering his holy flatulence over the unwashed masses so that they may behold and inhale deeply upon it, or Pope Francis himself becoming a Wild Hog. (Insert gay sex reference here.) Also, we witness a miracle performed by Rihanna, who's apparently taught her vagina to sing.
Or queefing is the new dubstep, I don't know what the kids are into these days,

Many LiveCycle customers implement kerberos based SSO in their deployments.
We recently came across an interesting customer situation where SSO did not work for some domain users. To recap working scenario – If LiveCycle SSO is configured correctly, when domain user opens workspace URL from domain machine, workspace should directly open without asking for user credentials again.
In this case, it wasn't working for some domain users; but worked for others.
Investigating further we found that non-working users were part of 100+ AD groups resulting in a large kerberos token size.
Customer was using JBoss 4.2.1 with LiveCycle ES2.5.

Take a trip down memory lane to see what some of your favorite soaps aired on New Year's Day in the year 2002. Are some of these storylines still front burner? Are the same characters still around? 2002 was only two years ago. Have there been a lot of changes since then, or are the stories primarily the same? Some soaps aired previously seen classic episodes to set up future storylines. Was that technique effective?
Let's flashback to New Year's Day 2002 to see what the networks were promoting for your favorite soaps two years ago...
All My Children
On Monday, December 30, 2002, ABC Daytime will air a special episode of All My Children entitled, "What Women Want." It will feature the young, career-driven women of Pine Valley. In the story, Greenlee and Kendall create a new cosmetics company called Fusion. During a brainstorming session with their sexy gal pals Mia, Maggie, Simone and Laurie, they will discuss what they think their peers want out of life. As each of these women fantasize, their deepest secrets and desires will reveal what each one really wants!
As the World Turns
In February 2003 the character of Dusty Donovan returns to Springfield. In this classic episode of As the World Turns, airing New Year's Day, you'll get another chance to catch up on the character of Dusty Donovan before Grayson McCouch joins the cast in February. Originally airing on November 11, 1987, this episode focuses on the first-time Lily (Martha Byrne) and Dusty (played then by Brian Bloom) make love.
Days of our Lives
Tony plays a big part in the New Year's Eve episode, upsetting John and promising Sami that he will get to the bottom of Colin's scheme. Meanwhile, Colin continues with his objective.

Stuart portrays Catherine, the wife of a legendary Port Charles gangster in the New Year's episode, set to air Tuesday, December 31, 2002. When Carly and Ric stumble upon a speakeasy, Catherine tells them a haunting tale of New Year's Eve in 1926. Catherine's story resonates with Carly's fears for her husband, Sonny and his dangerous business dealings. The tale unfolds as characters from present-day General Hospital portray their 1920 counterparts in vintage black and white scenes, paying homage to the "Roaring 20s." Will this venture back in time help Carly deal with life married to a mobster in the present? Tune into General Hospital New Year's Eve 2002 and see!
One Life to Live
2002 comes to a dramatic close in Llanview…especially when it comes to relationships. An angry Lindsay confronts Troy about his engagement to Nora. But Troy discovers a shocking way to keep Lindsay quiet. Will it jeopardize his relationship with Nora? Meanwhile, Mitch discovers a way to use Cristian's temper to his advantage. Will he and his new ally, Jen, get everything they want in the New Year? Later, Viki employs Nora to help free Natalie from Mitch. Then, Seth witnesses a close moment between Jessica and Al.

Series number: 1 Chemical description: Dioxazine violet Colour index name: PV23 Colour index number: 51319 Permanence rating: A ASTM lightfastness rating: I Transparency/Opacity: T
Dioxazine Purple is a vivid mid-shade purple pigment. When undiluted, it can be used as a deep black. It is made from a transparent coal tar pigment and was introduced into the Winsor & Newton range in the 1960s.
As with all Winsor & Newton colours, every colour in the range is individually formulated to take advantage of the natural characteristics of each pigment and to ensure the stability of the colour. The vehicle (oil modified alkyd resin) allows the colour to dry quicker whilst retaining the other characteristics of conventional oil colour.
Because alkyd resin has physical properties that differ slightly from those of traditional oils, the pigment load is somewhat different as well. Experienced painters will notice slightly greater transparency compared to Artists' Oil Colour. The colour has been formulated to offer the greatest degree of tinting strength possible (consistent with good handling properties), and to take full advantage of the true characteristics of each pigment.

Compare Suzuki Garages and Specialists in High Wycombe with Who Can Fix My Car.
Yes but only if it was tidied up and looked more professional with a cleaner environment/painted floor and parking for clients cars was sorted I would not leave my car un-attended as I saw what happened when a lorry tried to enter a side street and the client's vehicle was moved. Also my BMW was left on double white lines whilst I paid and I do not want a parking fine I will come back but only for while you wait services for the reasons mentioned above-I have 8 vehicles all in prestine condition and it worries me about potential damage Cheers Jeff Leeks
Great service, appointment booked for the afternoon and completed in 40 minutes. Very happy.
Regas air conditioning of car. Great service. Booked appointment for Saturday was honoured and job done in less than one hour
Friendly and quick and honest.
Good and quick service.
Very happy, would use again
Prompt reply with quote. Job completed same day with actual price being that which was quoted, no hidden extras. Explained what was done and showed worn parts. Definitely recommend.
Extremely happy with the work that was done, would even know I even had a dent there before! I had contacted so many garages and companies and all were telling me it would cost hundreds to repair, but Sanjay did it at affordable price. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
FANTASTIC service! Sanjay the mechanic was so helpful and obliging, fitting my car repairs in at the last minute. His advice was honest (car needed pads and discs) and his repairs reliable. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of a good mechanic and will certainly be using SMT cars for all future car repairs!
I am a very happy customer. Sanjay immediately knew what was actually wrong with the car. Communication was great, My fly wheel had a groove in it (Which was not included in the quote). The car gave Sanjay some trouble and he spent a lot of time on the car which he definitely did not include in the quote - or in the bill. He is a very thorough mechanic, diagnosing the problems and letting you know. Had to add the fly wheel repair and the oil to the original quote - But didn't add the extra labour. Very happy
Great mechanic very helpful. I would recommend this mechanic and I will get him to work on any of my future car problems.
What a thoroughly pleasant, professional and courteous chap. Explained the nagging issues clearly. Fixed everything, topped up the engine oil. James is car/motoring enthusiast which great. Cannot recommend him highly enough. I will definitely be doing all work through to James at JTH Performance. Thanks again...
James was polite and welcoming when he arrive. He diagnosed the problem with my van quickly, and showed me exactly what was wrong. He was honest and not over priced. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent service. James was very helpful fitting the job in around my work schedule. Friendly, on time & on budget - can't ask for more really.
Great service provided ,so much cheaper than my local garage quoted for both front break pads and discs on my 1 year old Fiesta,will recommend to all,many thanks to James from JTH Performance.
Great job!
Phoned late on a Thursday, they picked it up Friday morning returned in that afternoon, totally hassle free. Would use them again.
Good service, great staff, definitely will come back for my car's other future servicing.
Latimer garage services in chesham were very helpfull and plea sent, they provided an excellent service and were a lot cheaper than other quotes I had, they even picked up my car and dropped it off so I was free to carry on my day. I would definitely recommend them and am going to use them in the future.
Very efficient service - arrived at 8.40am and battery was fitted before 9.00. I have used Broadway at Beaconsfield on two prior occasions and their service had been equally good and would recommend them without hesitation. F. O'Connor
Repaired door mirror in 20 minutes. Efficient and gave good advice
A1 fast service

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Race car fans are still trying to comprehend the crash that has stunned everyone at Daytona International Speedway.
"You know it when you come here and you hope it doesn't happen," said Mike Buehner.
Buehner and his friends, Chuck Dunton and Mike Osborne, say they were close to the impact.
Dunton said the entire stadium went from cheering their favorite driver to silence.
"I actually saw the tire fly into the stands," said Dunton. "Everyone was worried about the people in the audience making sure they were alright. We didn't really even care who crossed the finish line."
Marc Messerschmitt recalls tire smoke and cars flipping
"It looked like one of the most horrific crashes I've ever been to," said Messerschmitt. "I've been to a lot of races in 25 years. This one stands out in my mind."
But Messerschmitt said he walked away with a unique souvenir from many of the car parts that ended up on pit road.
"I took this bumper off the 99 car that finished in 3rd place today," said Messerschmitt. "This will be hanging over my couch Monday night."
Despite the crash, race fans say they realize high speeds come with high risks.
"No, it's not going to stop me from coming back at all," said Lisa Lacey. "You're a race fan. You're in the stands."
"Absolutely I'd be back tomorrow if I was sitting in the same area, same section," said Buehner.

UF women take SEC indoor track and field title
Published: Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 11:54 p.m.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The performances were bigger in Texas for Florida women's track and field.
The Gator women captured their eighth SEC indoor championship Saturday, their third in the last five years, while the Gators men's squad notched a second-place finish to cap off a stellar weekend at the SEC Indoor Championships at Gilliam Indoor Track & Field Stadium on the Texas A&M campus.
"We have talked a lot about the ladies stepping up and being a top-five program in the country and we made steps toward that tonight," Florida coach Mike Holloway said.
It was the women's weight throw and junior Jayla Bostic's third-place finish that first pulled the women's squad into first place Saturday with a 58-57 edge over Texas A&M before the two squads battled it out until the end.
SEC titles in the distance medley relay and 4x4-relay for the Florida women kept the Gators in the hunt down the final stretch, and with a Texas A&M disqualification in the 4x4 relay, the Gators sealed the deal with 102 points for the 2014 SEC Indoor Championship. Texas A&M finished second (96.5) and Arkansas placed third (93.5).
On the men's side, the Razorbacks claimed their third straight SEC title (121), while Florida finished second (106) and Texas A&M placed third (83.33).
The Gators' second-place finish on the men's side marked six straight top-two SEC indoor finishes for UF. Florida scored an event-best 18 of its points in the 200m dash and picked up 15 points in the 60-meter hurdles between senior four-time champion Eddie Lovett, freshman Yanick Hart and sophomore Moriel Pitt.
Florida scored an event-best 19 points in the 3000m on the women's side, and between the men's and women's squads, the Gators put together a combined 19 podium finishes.
Lovett started off UF's winning ways on Saturday with an historic run in the 60m hurdles, notching his unprecedented fourth-straight indoor title in the event, becoming the first athlete in SEC history to accomplish the feat.
"Winning four in a row is something that I never really thought about," Lovett said. "I never really tried to put that pressure on myself, but just these last two years my coach and I really talked about staying undefeated and that is what I did."
Florida followed with four more titles — Arman Hall (200m), Ciarra Brewer (TJ) and the women's distance medley relay and 4x4 relay titles — to bring its indoor championship tally to six after senior Cory McGee's 3000m championship Friday.
The Gators shattered five school records throughout the span of 2014 SEC indoors, including both 4x4 relays to cap off competition in College Station on Saturday evening.

I'm glad that the app has successfully been able to reunite an I-device with its rightful owner as the news post reported, but what, and how about the not so publicized unfortunate owners with just the device being reported?
Not by any means is this belittled, but it takes this for it to make news...
Yeah I always have a hard time believing these types of stories. I find it hard to believe the LAPD would use several officers and a helicopter to track down some guy that can't keep track of his phone i. I know it sounds good and all but hard to believe.
I guess it's different if the stolen phone belongs to a person that works for LAPD. I bet the tax payers would love to hear that man power is being used to track down cell phones of LAPD workers knowing good and damn well that Jon Q Citizen would not get the same treatment.
Sounds very fictitious.
A friend of mine found his stolen iPhone with that app too. The thief turned the phone off when he stole it so my friend wasn't able to locate it at first, but he kept checking and later that evening it turned up and showed the location at someone's house. So my friend called the cops and went with them to the guys house and got his phone back! The thief was someone that worked at the same company as my friend so he also lost his job the next day!
Yeah a friend of mine caught his wife cheating by locating her iphone. Went over to the guys house and caught them red-handed! He never suspected a thing! He just decided to see where she was "shopping" Makes me wonder how many others this may have happened to? Does anybody "check" on their significant other by this method?
i'd like to call BS on this one. my sisters iphone was stolen at a restaurant in downtown Los Angeles earlier this year, and using the app, she was able to trace it to a house. after calling the police, she was informed that they do not help people track down lost phones as it is too low on their list of priorities. i live in Hollywood, right off Santa Monica blvd. in fact, and i can tell you for damn sure that the cops around here are even busier than the department my sister called (which was in an LA suburb where the house she traced her phone to was located). so, for them to have employed multiple officers and a helicopter to track down one iphone, i have to assume there is a significant piece of the story missing here.
wow...I don't know who's dumber, the crooks that stole the iphone or all of you that this story all BULL and how the article is not real and that it's made up. Well, maybe if you guys actually clicked on the CBS link and read the full news article then you would find out that story is real and they actually named the robbery suspect in the article.
here's the link
GPS Tracking App Used To Hunt Down iPhone Stolen In Wilshire Robbery « CBS Los Angeles
this story is real, the actual news article they even named the robbery suspect. all you non believers who were so sure this was fabricated story and said this is BS not a chance that was true should've clicked on CBS link first before writing your comments.
Oh yeah, cause everything from the media is perfect truth.
Well here in Philadelphia, Pa the cops don't do Jack Crap about it! I'm a security manager at my job and an employee had her brand new iPhone 4s stolen out of her office last year (by another employee mind you). She called the police and after they finally showed up two hours later, they said they can't do anything about it, even after I suggested using the tracking app!! They said they would need a warrant... that's BS!!!!
Again, if everyone read the full news article, they would find out that this was not just a person stealing someone elses phone. The robbery suspect held a gun to the woman and took her purse. She then called to cops to report the incident and while cops were doing their interviews, she mentioned to the police her iphone was in her which has a phone tracker app so they got on the laptop and tracked it, went to the location they see man fitting the description of the suspect and while the cops are holding him, they then call the phone and guess what it, the iphone he had in his posession starts ringing...HAHAHA! the rest is history.
Experience... when it works, it works well. It is especially funny to corner someone into a statement and then make the phone chirp in their pocket.
As to the warrant... television shows have made it hard for people to understand, but Police Officers can't bust into a house and dig around for a phone, or put their hands in people's pockets, or do anything Chuck Norris did without meeting requirements set forth in the Fourth Amendment or exclusion set by case law. I dont know your particular incident but I am willing to bet that the Officer did not pass up an easy arrest.
4th Amendment for ya
