Best practices for JQuery namespaces + general purpose utility functions

Question

What are some current \"rules of thumb\" for implementing JQuery namespaces to host general purpose utility functions?

I have a number

Answer 1

For the record, I ended up using the first syntax:

$(function ()
{
   //********************************
   // PREDIKT NAMESPACE
   //********************************

   if (typeof (Predikt) === "undefined")
   {
      Predikt = {};
   }

   //********************************
   // PREDIKT.TIMER NAMESPACE
   //********************************

   if (typeof (Predikt.Timer) === "undefined")
   {
      Predikt.Timer = {};
   }

   Predikt.Timer.StartTimer = function ()
   {
      return new Date().getTime();
   };

   Predikt.Timer.EndTimer = function ()
   {
      return new Date().getTime();
   };

});
