Is there any good meows on the xtra CD? If so, where?
I am Pussyfying 4.3.1KDE and I can't stand the generic Windows type sounds, I need some good cat sounds. I never got Pussy Xtra to recognise my sound card either, but I'll wait for the next version.
The wallpaper was easy enough to find though.
No extra meows on the Xtra version, i didnt add any extra sound files than what is included by default with whatever applications are installed.
You may or maynot have some success with the feature in catroll-panel that reinitializes the sound card and or alsa driver. I forget what its called but it is obvious enough if you look for it, im not on a pussy machine atm and cant remember what its called.. maybe something like "alsa-reinitialize" or "alsa-detect" or "something something something meow meow moew purr".......
Saintless contributed the script in catroll-panel that restarts and redetects the alsa audio device. Pussy being a live distro that asks for no config instructions when booting needs to select atleast one audio driver to get sound and it is rigged to choose the most supported one, unfortunately this means that a small percentage of computers wont have a compatible sound driver on first boot.

oooops i misread the text, i thought you where booting the actual iso not the files from it. The new wheezy is supposed to be compatible with booting the iso straight from grub ill test this
Agreed! Simply add to menu.lst an menu-entry for booting directly into the wheezy-bare.iso-image-file.
The following menu-entry refers to an installation where:
the 3. primary partition (=/dev/sda3) on hd0 is not in use(!)
- the ISO-image is on an unfragmented FAT32-partition (/dev/sda5)
- the grub4dos-version used is 0.4.5c
title (hd0,4)/wheezy-bare.iso
partnew (hd0,2) 0x00 (hd0,4)/wheezy-bare.iso
map (hd0,4)/wheezy-bare.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
chainloader (0xff)
Please read
thanks for the info buddy
very useful to know and i appreciate the heads up on the code required, you probably saved me from multiple strokes and a hemroid of the soul.

Here is a small Debian.
Development Release: SparkyLinux 2.1 RC
a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution with a choice of Enlightenment or LXDE desktops: "SparkyLinux 2.1 release candidate 'Eris' (Main edition) is out. The system is built as all 2.x releases on Debian testing 'Wheezy'. New ISO images E17/LXDE
165 MB how is this one different to all the other Debians?
... because it is a typo error. The iso is actually 1.5GB
Wheezy is hidiously huge. The basic ISO im working with after slimming is 350mb in size, however probably 180MB or more of this is the HDD install stuff, i may be able to remove some of the preinstall packages and edit the install scripts to only included the things that are useful (why on earth do we need graphical and text install and 3 different partition setup programs and lilo and grub etc etc... ?
only prob is if i do modify this then we open a can of worms as far as users getting support from debian channels but HDD install option here is such a huge overhead, its about as large as the entire Pussy Base ISO of the old Pussy. Maybe DVD version could have HDD install as an option and the smaller CDROM version could leave it out maybe.
what is easier to install for a newbie?
1) follow a step by step instruction in Pussy catroll-panel that tells the user to copy the ISO to the HDD and then install grub
2) usual traditional non live HDD install
There was a newer ISO released by Debian Live earlier this month, ill slim it and see whats practical to remove or add. The problem im facing now is that Wheezy is so large with the HDD install stuff included that a full CDROM version the size of the older Xtra version would have nowhere near as many applications installed because the old squeeze debian live base was like 90mb and this wheezy base is 350mb.
Perhaps removing the HDD install stuff from the CDROM version but including it in the DVD version would be a sensible compromise?

I apologize for the ever changing babble being spewed forth from my fingertips on this thread in the last few months.
Some things look good on paper but dont work in real life... over planning on my part and lack of sleep have just resulted in an ever changing confused spiel here...
So i have decided it best to scale down the project to a single release of one version. This will include a small console only boot option that doubles as a server, and the full desktop environment as a separate boot option... however as per usual the desktop variant on the same iso/ image will also include all the server services as well.
It was a mistake to try and be ahead of the curve as far as jumping on a premature and barely working debian live wheezy/ testing shell as a base for Pussy... for one thing it will require multiple updates to the base system, essentially a new OS... until finally we are running the same release candidate that ends up being used as the debian stable/ current version, otherwise Pussy users wanting to seek support from debian people will run into trouble simply because the advice offered to them probably wouldnt work as it is too different from the final debian stable.
Due to the size difference between the old Pussy that had no official HDD install support and the new Pussy that will include it i was considering releasing 2 versions, one that is smaller and is Live only like the previous pussy and a version that has the HDD install stuff included....
There is a 200MB difference in size here....
I am forced to choose to develop either one or the other, not both...
And the winner is the Pussy with HDD install features. However, this will also means that creating something similar in features to the old Pussy Xtra (almost filled an entire cdrom iso) probably will not fit on a cdrom. This will end up being maybe 900MB or so in size. Considering any modern computer either has a DVD drive or a USB 2.0 port or a SD card slot, this is not a problem.
In the spirit of keeping things simple, the new Pussy will be similar in features to the older Pussy Xtra but with a server/ console only boot option, a HDD install at boot option and a few extra things like samba and cups and webtv etc included as well as anything else that will help deliver a sweet out of the box experience.
To keep things practical Pussy will be as large as it needs to be, but i am not going to deliberately aim for a DVD sized (4GB or so) distro. This would make downloading it a problem for alot of people. The final size of Pussy will most likely be 900MB or 1GB or something similar.
Considering Pussy Xtra included more useful apps in its 600mb than pretty much any 2GB or more Linux distro could ever even wish for, and the new base being 200mb larger than the old one.... we are still going to be the best performance/ features VS disk footprint/ RAM usage linux distro that will be available.
So all in all, new Pussy will be like old Pussy Xtra + newer things + server/ console only option at boot + HDD install option at boot + a few hundred MB larger in size so it will no longer be CDROM sized but more like 1GB SD card/ USB stick sized and or can be burned to a DVD-R and used from that to install to HDD or be run as live.

Im hoping that the final debian wheezy iso's are slimmer than they are now, altho maybe thats not the real prob with bloat, i think that there will be more variety of official debian live ISO's and a decent netinstall one (usually less than 100mb) is the one that is missing from the line up at the present time.
If a netinstall wheezy does indeed come out then keeping things small wont be all that much of a problem.

imnsho ... What PussyLinux
could have/should have
been ...
Debian Linux (squeeze) with the heart and
of a Puppy.
Have a peek (and poke around the forum) ... you may be surprised.
The real world (real life) has stalled things for a few months, although life is returning to normal.
I would really appreciate some help from anyone who really knows *nix
In the last few days, I've had a peek at wheezy, and it totally smashes anything/everything to do with persistence and the ability to make a snapshot of the system in a totally RAM based system. Not only does the 3.x kernel resolve a lot of issues that the 2.x has/had it is obviously the way to move forward. However, it is also a whole new can of worms with regard to the startup sequence, cow, and all of the other things that made pussy what it was. I am not promising anything in the way of a fix or how to make wheezy like squeeze, but I've got some ideas and if you're really prepared to peek under the hood with me, then I'd ask you to have a peek at we've done with squeeze. We've got a little way to go with squeeze before looking to see how we get over to wheezy, but I'm sure it can be done.
Cheers, Brenton

That could be one reason that he has not been so active.
the problem is too much one one person one need to be a team
so he has a break and get back when he figure it out or his illness
has gone more severe so he has to concentrate to feel well.
Give him a break
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

From today
is inactive for me. Does anybody else have the same problem?
I hope Sickgut will drop by soon to write he is OK.
I think I have most of the Squeezy Pussy Linux files and extra programs. I can upload them somewhere if someone needs them.
Farewell, Nooby, you will be missed...

Hide and Seek
A friend, who was at our house picking up his son last week, watched in amusement as Dexter took a sloppy drink from his bowl. "He's certainly enthusiastic," he noted, with that or a similar euphemism for "charming disaster."
A few days ago a man whose training and business it is to observe and diagnose personalities in a very casual way deemed mine "big," so my affinity for Dexter may be one of kindred spirit. He springs to life every morning and bounds outside to greet the day. When he is let back in he runs to the kitchen and stands by his bowl emitting short but persistant whines until I feed him. One would assume he's starving, but he's not; he just likes the security of a full bowl. Once it's filled, however, he's consumed by anxiety that someone else is going to take it, though no one else ever has. (Rosie, always polite and well-mannered, wouldn't. Besides her pleasant nature I'm sure she wouldn't see the point. There's been food in her bowl everyday; there always will be.)
After a bit of pacing he begins to push his bowl with this nose to a safer spot. He usually leaves it under a kitchen chair, which causes us all to furrow our brows - it's not hidden after all - but we don't say anything because he has made such a terrific effort. He has, accidentally I think, though Bill does not agree, pushed it down the basement stairs which made an impressive noise. Sometimes I am reduced to all fours looking under the low shelf of the kitchen island, which, as far as hiding places go, is the best. Last week it was behind the basket where we keep shoes and a few times he's pushed it all the way across the kitchen and covered it with the rug by the back door.
Today I came home and could not find it in any of the usual, or unusual, spots. The youngest helped for a while, but we finally gave up. An hour or so later I found his bowl nestled in the corner of the powder room behind the door. So, he had pushed it across the kitchen, down the hall, through the family room, into the powder room and around the door. He followed me in as I went and looked at the bowl as I did and then back up into my face. Then he sat, as he does, with enthusiasm and pride at his best (and only) trick. I reached down and held his jaw in my hand, his jowls damp against the edges of my palm and said, "Someday you will be a noble beast." Someday, but not today.

Myriad of Health Benefits of Raspberry Leaf Tea
For many centuries, midwives and medicine practitioners have touted the effectiveness of herbal remedies during pregnancy. One of the most widely used and a common herbal remedy is Raspberry Tea that is often utilized during both gestation period and delivery. Raspberry leaves also have the property of curing infertility that affects, at least, one in six women.
Raspberry leaf tea has a myriad of health benefits that are to be discussed below. Read on to find more.
Use During Pregnancy and Labor
Raspberry leaf tea contains many essential nutrients like vitamins B, iron, calcium, and minerals like potassium and phosphorus. It also contains alkaloid fragrin that helps in strengthening the uterine wall, relaxes smooth muscle, and makes childbirth easier by aiding contraction of the uterus. During pregnancy, feelings of mood swings and morning sickness are caused by unstable blood sugar levels or lack of vitamin B6, which can be both treated by regular ingestion of Raspberry Tea. Find out how raspberry leaf tea helps induce labor during pregnacy.
Role in Curing Infertility
Natural options for treating infertility are not only cheap and safe but have been proven to be more effective than inorganic methods. Many people have found the leaf of raspberry to be effective in treating infertility as it works as an herbal tonic by revitalizing the uterus' ability to conceive.
Treating Low Milk Production
Sometimes, mothers cannot offer the required amount of nutritious breast milk due to inadequate lactation. Some of the common underlying reasons like lack of proper vitamins and minerals can be treated by the use of Raspberry Tea. This is another form of herbal remedy that helps women to give their newborns the proper nutrition they need. More info on red raspberry leaf tea and its benefits to breastfeeding women.
Maintaining Diabetes Levels
Leaves of raspberry are also useful for controlling Type 2 diabetes along with cardiovascular system disorder and other gastrointestinal tract disorders. Raspberry is high in vitamin B that helps in converting food into glucose that prevents elevated levels of cholesterol and fat content in the blood. Read on for more of raspberry tea and effects to blood sugar levels.
How to Prepare Raspberry Tea
Making this tea is easy as counting 123. Just follow the steps mentioned below and you will have a healthy and tasty drink in a matter of minutes.
- Take 1 cup of boiling water
- Add 1 teaspoon of raspberry tea leaf to the boiling water
- Keep it steeping for about 10 minutes
- Strain correctly and you're ready to drink!
Other Benefits
The health benefits of raspberry tea leaves are not limited to women because it can also help men to increase their fertility. It tastes fantastic when blended with the red clover and drinking 2 cups a day should yield the best results for your health.

WASHINGTON -- Problems continue for millions of Americans trying to learn more about the new Affordable Care Act at through the government website, healthcare.gov
An estimated fifteen million people have logged on to learn more about insurance plans only to find the system is down or too slow to use.
The website woes are making the complicated topic that is the affordable care act even more difficult to understand.
"In terms of appearance, it's really pretty. It gets an A+. In terms of performance, it gets an F," said Luke Chung, President and Founder of Software Development Firm.
Outside software engineers say the core design of the website may be flawed.
What should be simple tasks like logging-in and creating an account are giving users grief.
"It looks like the people who built this had never built a commercial database software application before," said Chung.
Also, there's been a tremendous amount of interest.
The website had more traffic than the Obama Administration expected, which has slowed it down.
"This is a problem that was driven by an overwhelming demand from people saying i want to be able to sign up for affordable health care, and they're going to be able to," said Senior White House Advisor David Simas.
A health and human services spokeswoman says the department won't stop improving healthcare.gov until its doors are wide open.
But at least some users are.
"I'm not disillusioned by not be able to do this today. I've got three months to do this," said site user Sondra Powell.
Users have until December 15th to sign up if they want coverage to start on January first.
Fifteen states and the District of Columbia have created their own healthcare exchanges and users of those sites seem to be having more success.
However, some who have signed up for a plan now have another problem.
They're now reporting trouble confirming their doctors will accept their new insurance and which drugs are covered.

Wallabies return to scene of famous win
September 15, 2009
John Eales is mobbed after kicking the winning points against the All Blacks in 2000 © Getty Images
New Zealand face Australia at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday with nothing but pride at stake after their loss to South Africa handed the Tri-Nations title to the Springboks.
The teams have met twice at Westpac Stadium, most recently when New Zealand snuck past the Wallabies with a 16-7 victory. The visitors will not need reminding of their other trip to Wellington however, as it produced one of their most famous victories of the modern era.
Legendary skipper and lock John Eales heaved over a last-gasp penalty to defeat the All Blacks 24-23 in 2000, wresting the initiative from their rivals in a classic Tri-Nations contest that ended with the world champion Wallabies lifting the silverware.
At Wellington's old ground, Athletic Park, New Zealand's greatest success came in the final Test between the sides staged there. The All Blacks coasted to a 43-6 win, with Jonah Lomu, Jeff Wilson, Christian Cullen and Justin Marshall all getting on the scoresheet.
The Wallabies' best result came a year before the Wallabies lifted the 1991 Rugby World Cup, when Phil Kearns and Michael Lynagh scored the points in a 21-9 victory.
Australia v New Zealand
All-time record: New Zealand won 90, Australia won 39, drawn 5
Biggest winning margin: NZ: 37, 43-6 at Wellington, 1996; Aus: 21, 28-7 at Sydney, 1999
Highest score: NZ: 50 (50-21) at Sydney, 2003; Aus: 35 (35-39) at Sydney, 2000
Most tries: NZ: 9 (38-13) at Dunedin, 1936; Aus: 5 (30-16) at Auckland, 1978 and (35-39) at Sydney, 2000.
Longest winning sequence: NZ: 9 (1936-47), Aust: 3 (1978-80, 1991-92, 2000-01)
Most points (individual): NZ: Andrew Mehrtens 202; Aus: Matt Burke 176
Most tries (individual): NZ: 8 Doug Howlett, Ian Kirkpatrick, Christian Cullen; Aus: 8 David Campese
Most points in a Test: NZ: 29 Andrew Mehrtens at Auckland, 1999; Aus: 24 Matt Burke at Brisbane, 1996

RTC Conference Primers: #30 – SWACPosted by rtmsf on October 4th, 2011
For our complete list of 2011-12 conference primers working backward from #31 to #1, click here.
Reader's Take I
Top Storylines
- Southern & Grambling APR Victims. When the NCAA released its annual Academic Progress Rate report in May, the SWAC contained two of the five basketball programs facing a postseason ban in 2011-12 as a result of consistently poor scores over several years. While this news shouldn't surprise anyone who has followed the APR since it was implemented several years ago, the teeth of the rule is finally taking hold on individual institutions. Southern and Grambling probably were not going to be in a competitive position to make the NCAA Tournament this season anyway, but this is something that each school must take seriously in order to secure their D-I existence. The two institutions submitted APR improvement plans to the NCAA over the summer, and with good reason — without a considerable short-term jump in scores, the next penalty is restricted membership in Division I.
- Will the APR Eliminate HBCUs in Division I? Southern and Grambling's APR predicament highlights a harrowing situation among the two Division I basketball leagues comprising historically black colleges and universities. With the APR cut line increasing from 925 to 930 as of next year, and a corresponding postseason penalty for programs failing to make that cut in the future, the SWAC and MEAC could face an untenable situation where every one of its members is ineligible for postseason play, and ultimately on restricted status. If the 930 threshold had been in effect last year, for example, only one school — the SWAC's Alcorn State, with its 4-24 overall record and 944 APR score — would have been eligible for the NCAA Tournament. The APR has been shown to correlate strongly with African-American enrollment, and at the low-budget HBCUs that comprise the SWAC and the MEAC, this development presents tremendous cause for concern. Whether this is purposeful or not, we'll leave for you to decide.

Groundwater surface maps (water table) are now available for Defiance, Williams, Fulton, and Lucas counties through to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The ODNR Division of Soil and Water Resources has produced groundwater surface maps for 46 Ohio counties. The maps, which illustrate the direction of groundwater flow, may be viewed at ohiodnr.com/tabid/3623/default.aspx
Groundwater surface maps are being created for bedrock and sand and gravel aquifers. The maps illustrate groundwater surface much like the contour lines of a topographic map represent a visual model of the ground surface.
These maps can be used to determine the direction and gradient of groundwater flow, determine recharge and discharge areas, and can be used as input data for groundwater modeling programs. These maps can also be used to assist in preparing water resource plans and technical studies, the mapping of groundwater stress areas, and in possible diversion issues.
Paper copies of the maps can also be purchased for $8 each plus shipping and handling. For information, contact Jim Raab by calling 614/265-6747 or sending e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Thanksgiving, Days 16-19,
...for sleepy, smiling, bovine on a fall afternoon.
... for little fish, that still swim.
... for a disobedient a dog who like to push the limits (she knows she isn't allowed to be in my office, so she purposefully sits with her paws in the door.
... for teenagers that makes me laugh.
... for watercoloring with young friends.
...for the little red tree that grows as we do.
... for the last colorful leaves holding out 'til its time for winter's sleep.
...for those delicate hands that paint and play. I love hearing her play Christmas songs while I cook in the evening.
...for Psalm 34 on a hard day.
...for limitless cups of warm beverage.
For all these I give thanks.

Thankgiving, Days 8-15: Grace in the Ordinary Day
How to See Grace in the Ordinary Day:
-a note to myself
1. Wake up before the sun in gratitude to breathe another day. Ask for eyes that see.
2. Rouse the teenagers and get them started about their day. Accept your daughter's winsome fashion advice. Kiss your son's scratchy unshaved cheek. As you instruct them in the business of the day ahead, remind yourself: a gentle word turns away wrath. Tell them you love them. Tell them again.
3. Meet a girlfriend for coffee and cinnamon rolls before the frost outside has time to thaw. Sit in the restaurant, huddled over a small round table for hours. Talk until you realize the lively lunch crowd has pushed the quiet breakfasters from their computers and corner tables. Admit, with hesitation, it's probably time to go. Promise to do it again soon. Walk to your car, in your smart shiny shoes, parting ways with mirthful contentment.
4. Drive directly to the home of another dear friend, for an impromptu meeting of the Ladies Who Lunch. Upon arrival to this homestead of open doors, warm hugs and British blue eyes, the smell will instantly make this good day better -- she's been baking. Sit down to a delicious bowl of hot soup. On the wings of a prayer, break fresh bread, the warmth and fragrance calling you to repose. Encourage one another in the Lord, eyes filled with mist, and joy. Laugh a lot, sip tea, chat some more, hug necks.
5. Drive home with a full heart, a filled belly.
6. At home, find the teenagers have cleaned your kitchen, tidied up, and are ready for transport to evening festivities. Shuttle children, kiss faces, thank them for their help. Tell them you love them. Tell them again. Share their excitement for an evening with friends.
7. Drive home, let that feeling of humble gratitude for undeserved grace settle in... remember, there are deep lessons to be learned in gracious receiving.
8. Enter house. Make more tea. Experience unexpected GLADNESS! ... the eaters of the house have left you the last brownie. Eat it. Quickly.
Sit down and allow today's vision to look back on the week. Today's gifts sit on grace upon grace. Yesterday's gifts were equally sweet, though my attitude, perhaps not as sunny.
Open my eyes that I may see.... not just today, but again tomorrow.

Thanksgiving, Day 7: Rest
My office is currently a menagerie of old furniture and new. There is the recent purchase of a new chair from Ikea, and the old toddler table that never made it to the attic for storage. Soon I'll make my way back to Charlotte and purchase another white chair (there wasn't room in the van on the last trip) and find something to make the table look more middle-age woman than preschool student. But until then, this little perch in my creative space is where I go to rest. And when the sun is shining through the windows, as it was today, I just don't ever want to leave. Today I didn't have to.
Now that my babes are old enough to keep there illnesses to themselves, I haven't had enough exposure to childhood germs. I recently started working in the toddler room on Wednesday nights at church. Those little guys, with their sweet runny noses are becoming my buddies. My heart is having fun, and apparently, my immune system is getting stronger.
Yesterday I felt a little allergy-ish. More than I usually do... but in the middle of the night the sore throat and achiness hit with vengeance. This, the second head cold in as many months.
Early this morning I let my co-op compadres know that I was calling in sick. Then I warmed the kettle, brewed the tea, and set myself down for a day of rest.
I'm thankful that the other ladies at co-op were quick to help me with my classes and responsibilities so I could stay home to get well. I'm thankful that I am generally in great health, and that I could use this day of rest to think and ponder. I do love this busy time of life, with a robust family and a healthy schedule. But its hard to find those big chunks of time to think, and read, and write... and think some more.
Today, a sore throat created margin for a good rest in my sunny, cozy space. I am thankful.

Thanksgiving Day 3: Laughter
If I look too far into the future, I get a little sad. There are only so many years left with all my chicks in the nest.
Today I am grateful for laughter. I give thanks for the memories we're making in the day to day life... memories nobody else holds, but them and me. They've grown. Those teenage years I worried about when I rocked babes in my arms, have come in a whirlwind. I wasn't prepared for the breakneck speed. People would say 'it goes so fast', I simply did not believe.
But it does go fast. So listen. And watch. And laugh when you can, because laughing, together, is the best part of all.
Today I am thankful for laughter.

Thanksgiving Day 2: Eighteen Autumns
We've shared eighteen autumns, him and I.
I love watching him chop wood under the golden hue of fall foliage. Quiet and strong in his favorite plaid shirt. By the end of this day that shirt will smells of pine and smoke and his cologne... I'll breathe the fragrance in deeply, twice, before throwing it in the washer.
I'm thankful for his faithfulness. His patience. His understanding. I'm thankful for his quiet understanding and steadiness. I'm thankful that he does the hard things without complaint, and empties the dishwasher too.
I'm thankful for eighteen autumns.

Thankful Day 1: Church Family
I hope I never waste a moment of life in wishing for something else. I know I wouldn't be satisfied by what wasn't meant to be. Still, I often yearn for gifts that only time can gather.
For instance, here in this place we've called home for five years, I've longed for deep community.
I have had a real taste of sweet fellowship in the past, and in a handful of dear friendships fostered in surprising places on the road. Moving across the country several times in the last 17 years has allowed a taste of community in bites and chews. Sweet friendships that have held the test of time, and will never be severed despite the gap. But, when the tent is packed up, and caravan gets moving, loving at a distance is not quite the same. I prefer sitting in a kitchen, over cups of tea, sharing the dailies of living life.
I have longed to be in a community that holds one another up, for the long haul, in laughter and truth. I've ached for, and waited, and (honestly) worried, that it might not happen the way I had hoped.
Yet, all things work together.
That is what I am thankful for today... that God hears our prayers and knows the desires of our hearts. He does not lie in wait to hand out stones when we have asked for bread.
I am thankful for the gift of church family. The one that came by total surprise on a cold rainy day in December.
I asked for a loaf, and He gave me a basket. Lavish, and in His timing. To Him be the Glory.

To: Cooperative Collection Development Task Force
From: Tom Sanville
Subject: New Task Force Charge
Thank you for volunteering to serve on this important task force of the Cooperative Information Resources Management committee. The members of this group are:
Bonna Boettcher, Bowling Green State University
Debbie Bogenschutz, Cincinnati State Technical & Community College
Roger Durbin, University of Akron (Coordinator)
Jeff Gatten, Kent State University
Dan Gottlieb, University of Cincinnati
Leslie Haas, Kent State University
Jan Maxwell, Wright State University
Arlieda Ries, Miami University
As we have discussed in various meetings, the mandate for the institution of cooperative collection development must be fulfilled, and we need to put in place the practical mechanisms to achieve this. The conspectus project was a good beginning showing the value to libraries of understanding their collection strengths at a detailed level; however, this is only one step towards cooperation and we need to go further.
One of our major lessons of this project is that CIRM has to set guidelines and determine procedures for this to succeed. The mandate is for these to result in the practical and tangible delivery of benefits to the state through cooperative collection practices. This task force has been convened for these purposes.
In pursuing your charge these fundamental directives should be kept in mind:
The distribution of responsibility to ensure optimum collection across disciplines at the comprehensive research level must be addressed.
What can be done simply? What can be done now? What can we evolve into? More complete practices can develop over time. We want to proceed along paths that return initial, even if partial, results quickly.
The purpose of cooperative collection development is to overcome the constant inability to individually afford all the materials required by your institution. This goal must be kept in mind constantly in order to transform current practices that will impede our collective ability to meet patron needs more effectively.
Your charge is:
For the groups which have been defined, to put in place the necessary administrative structure for their functioning. Email lists, meetings, training and other administrative tools are to be established.
To provide guidelines and clear expectations for the collection evaluation efforts of each subject group by establishing the categories of criteria that each group can use to apply specifically to their cooperating efforts.
To document current shared practices that effectively produce cooperative collection development.
To identify and describe a range of collection analysis tools so that each subject-oriented group can determine which tool(s) would be most suitable for particular subjects. To identify ways to streamline data collection from the OhioLINK database and other sources.
To define the process and timing by which each group will create their plans and what measurable benefits will be produced. Each group's plan will be reviewed by CIRM and approved by LAC.
Your initial report that will activate the process is due to CIRM prior to their May 3, 1996 meeting.

A feature film adaptation of Eric Powell's Dark Horse Comics series The Goon has been in development for many, many years, but it's had a lot of trouble getting off the ground despite the fact that talent like David Fincher and Paul Giamatti are attached. An impressive "proof of concept" trailer was put together to show off the tone and visuals of what the proposed animated film would be like, but studios still weren't biting given the decidedly un-PG material.
Now Fincher (who is producing the film) has decided to start a Kickstarter fund for the film alongside Tim Miller and Jeff Fowler, who will co-direct. Miller was responsible for creating the fantastic opening title sequence for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and recently helmed the Halo 4 launch trailer that Fincher produced, so The Goon looks to be in great hands. Hit the jump for more, including a really, really, funny video from Fincher, Miller, and Fowler.
The trio is looking to raise $400,000 to put together a story reel, as I assume the current supernatural craze and success of darker "kids" films like ParaNorman has given them hope that they can finally get this thing made. This is a top-notch creative team coming together for what will surely be one hell of an animated film, so if there ever was a Kickstarter campaign worthy of your money, this is it.
In order to kickstart the Kickstarter campaign, Fincher, Miller, and Fowler have made a fantastic video asking for donations, targeting a number of specific groups like "Marvel Superhero Fans" and "Xenophobes" in order to hit their goal.
Watch the video below, followed by The Goon proof of concept trailer that was made a few years ago. Click here to visit the Kickstarter page and make a contribution.

text: The Matte finish option serves to significantly reduce sheen, providing a flatter and softer appearing finish than Satin. This finish is often associated with the type of finish put on high-end furniture. Due to its exceptionally low sheen, mars, dings and light scratches will tend to appear more as polished marks. Additionally, Matte's very low sheen may make variations in the wood substrate's graining more visible. Matte is applicable to both Stained and Painted finishes and cannot be combined with Lasting Touch Plus.

Relief efforts getting up to speed in Texas just as Irma prepares to wallop Florida
AUSTIN -- As relief efforts in Texas gear up and the task of rebuilding homes is under way in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, another monster storm is taking aim at the U.S., which could severely challenge emergency relief efforts nationwide.
Irma, a Category 5 hurricane with winds reaching 185 miles per hour, dwarfs the size and scope of Hurricane Harvey, which last week dropped more than 50 inches of rain on Houston, killed more than 60 people and ravaged the Gulf Coast. Forecasters say Irma could strike Florida by the weekend, creating a daunting scenario in which the U.S. faces the real possibility of managing two major coastal catastrophes simultaneously.
The financial cost of such a massive effort is almost incalculable and would dramatically stretch the resources of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Coast Guard, Red Cross and a slew of other relief organizations. President Donald Trump has asked Congress to allocate $7.8 billion for Harvey relief, and Gov. Greg Abbott says Texas could need as much as $125 billion.
Relief officials said they're doing all they can to prepare and to keep from exhausting their volunteers and supplies too soon. "There is a lot happening and it is overwhelming," said Alicia Anger of the Alabama region of the American Red Cross. "But we are the Red Cross and this is what we do."
An official with Americares, a Connecticut-based disaster relief organization, expressed similar anxiety over the looming double whammy. "Not in a very long time have we had to face two such dangerous hurricanes at the same time," said Garrett Ingoglia, the nonprofit's vice president of emergency response.
While more than 31,000 federal employees - including more than 3,000 FEMA staff - continue working to support Harvey recovery efforts, the nation's chief emergency agency is activating field operations from the southeastern U.S. up the East Coast along Hurricane Irma's expected path. Already, FEMA has deployed 124 people to the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, where the storm is expected to first hit.
Helicopters from the Coast Guard flown to Houston to help search and rescue missions left Texas over the long weekend, allowing pilots and staff to return home and rest, maintain their aircraft and "wait for Irma," said John Miller, chief petty officer for the guard.
Abbott said Tuesday he is willing to send any assistance Texas can spare to Florida should Irma wallop the Sunshine State, returning the favor after various Florida resources had been brought to Texas to deal with Harvey's aftermath, including assets from the National Guard, personnel and game rangers.
Abbott, who said he spoke to fellow Republican Gov. Rick Scott of Florida to offer Texas' support, said Irma's path is too early to forecast. For now, he said, "Texas does not need to be concerned about it. But with these storms, who knows?"
Exactly where Irma might hit the United States was unclear Tuesday as various models predicted the churning hurricane's development off the Leeward Island in the Atlantic Ocean could bend northward and bulldoze Florida or skim the coast. Some emergency officials were concerned it could track further westward into the Gulf of Mexico and eventually threaten Texas, although Florida was the focus Tuesday.
Irma is the strongest Atlantic storm in a decade, according to the National Hurricane Center. And lurking behind it is another developing storm, named Jose.
In Florida, Scott declared a statewide emergency and asked President Donald Trump on Tuesday to declare a pre-landfall emergency. Millions of people could be evacuated from parts of the state and draw federal and volunteer resources as Texas begins to find its footing after nearly two weeks wading through storm waters and sifting through debris of homes up and down the Gulf.
"From the Texas perspective, we are beginning to take steps to transition from an emergency response posture to disaster recovery in coordination with our federal and local partners," said Tom Vinger, press secretary for the Texas Department of Public Safety. "We are confident that we have the resources needed through this transition period to continue providing any assistance requested by local officials in the Texas communities impacted by Hurricane Harvey."
FEMA officials still in Texas are largely helping survivors register for federal aid in the dozens of counties ravaged by the storm. While the agency has begun pre-deploying assets and resources for Irma with people on alert to move people into the region once forecasters get a better handle on the landfall, attention on the new storm shouldn't disrupt FEMA's recovery efforts, said Bob Howard, a spokesman from FEMA.
"Most of the resources for the Texas recovery are already in place. Irma will be a total separate disaster operation," he said.
The American Red Cross, which is now sheltering 32,000 people in 192 shelters and partner shelters across the state, is also turning its attention to Irma. As the waters from Harvey recede, so has the number of people who are leaning on the agency for a place to stay. About 10,000 people have left those shelters in the last five days, and more are expected to follow and more people are able to access their homes, said Bristel Minsker, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross.
"We don't have any immediate plans to divert any resources" from Texas to handle Irma, she said, adding that volunteers here won't be pulled off their jobs unless they are no longer needed. Volunteers who signed up to help in Texas but had yet to be deployed could be rerouted to support Irma recovery efforts, she said, operating shelters and providing supplies to people short of food, a bed and other necessities.
While the Red Cross encourages people to make monetary donations to support disaster victims, officials in Dallas said they have run out of room storing clothing and other supplies.
Instead, they said, save them - for Irma.

Idaho Abandons Abortion Bill Requiring Ultrasounds
Idaho's Republican-controlled Legislature is backing away from a bill requiring women seeking an abortion to get an ultrasound first, capping weeks of Capitol demonstrations, a live Senate ultrasound exhibition on pregnant women and threats against at least one lawmaker.
Idaho's Republican-controlled Legislature is backing away from a bill requiring women seeking an abortion to get an ultrasound first, capping weeks of Capitol demonstrations, a live Senate ultrasound exhibition on pregnant women and threats against at least one lawmaker.
The legislation passed the Senate, but stalled in the state House after Rep. Tom Loertscher announced Tuesday he wouldn't schedule a committee hearing.
Consequently, anti-abortion activists' push to include Idaho among seven other states that require ultrasound procedures before an abortion will likely be put off until 2013.
Proponents, including Right to Life of Idaho, asked for a chance to change the bill Tuesday morning, but Loertscher, R-Bone, decided there wasn't time left in this session to resolve concerns among the House's majority Republicans that the bill allowed government to intrude too deeply into women's private lives.
"They were still holding out some hope for amendments," Loertscher said. "They agreed it's probably so late, they should step back and make another run at this next year."
Idaho is among eleven states that already require verbal counseling or written materials on abortion include information on ultrasound, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
Supporters hoped adding a new mandate could help convince more women not to terminate their pregnancies.
Jason Herring, president of Right to Life of Idaho, said misconceptions about Idaho's measure — and lack of time — ultimately worked against his group's efforts to convince a majority of representatives to get behind the bill.
Among amendments under consideration were the addition of an explicit exemption for medical emergencies and clarification that an invasive vaginal ultrasound couldn't be forced on unwilling women, as some lawmakers feared could have been required.
Still, Herring said exceptions for rape or incest victims weren't among concessions his group would have supported.
"We don't believe women need less information and less care when they are victims of crime. They need more care," Herring said, adding his group would be back in 2013. "The debate is far from over."
If an ultrasound bill does return, the public outcry will be the same, predicted Monica Hopkins, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho.
"There's a fierce sense of independence here," Hopkins said. "Politicians and legislators saw this as government intrusion and had a problem with mandating something that was a clear overreach and didn't adhere to the constitutional principles of equality and liberty."
Throughout the debate, the passion from both sides was apparent.
A live ultrasound exhibition in the Capitol last week, billed as "Voices from the Womb," featured six women who underwent abdominal ultrasounds before an audience of more than 150 people.
One opponent after another was escorted from the room by Idaho State Police troopers after making their objections to the bill heard.
And the 100-year-old Statehouse's front steps became a battle theater for sign- and American flag-carrying carrying advocates, including demonstrations from both sides that stretched into Monday evening.
Heading into an election year, some Republicans got cold feet after hearing from women in their districts that the bill was a bad idea. Rep. Steve Hartgen, R-Twin Falls, described how he sent out 15 letters to women polling them on the bill. Twelve replied, and only one supported the measure.
"They (Republicans) recognized that when you kick the bee hive, bees come out," said House Minority Leader John Rusche, D-Lewiston, calling the measure "terrible medicine, terrible public policy and an assault on personal freedom."
There was also turmoil surrounding the measure's Senate sponsor, Chuck Winder, R-Boise, who became a lightning rod after comments he made on the Senate floor on March 19 that suggested a doctor should ask a woman who says she's been raped if the pregnancy could have been "caused by normal relations in a marriage."
Though Winder clarified he wasn't questioning the truthfulness of rape victims or women, his email account, Facebook page and telephones were subsequently barraged with messages from foes of the bill.
On Tuesday, Winder said he couldn't repeat many of the comments, which he said included threats of violence against him and his family.
"Passion is great," Winder said Tuesday. "But disrespect devalues the opposition's argument."

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus couldn't have come at a better time for Sprint and its new CEO Marcelo Claure.
Even though Sprint (S) is one of many carriers that will be selling Apple's (AAPL) newest phones, its stock has gotten the biggest bump by far this week. Shares are up more than 20% since Sprint announced an iPhone for Life plan.
AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) have barely budged. Shares of T-Mobile (TMUS), the company Sprint had hoped to merge with before it became blatantly obvious that regulators would never approve the deal, are only up a little more than 2%.

So why is Sprint enjoying a much bigger pop?
Wall Street always likes fresh blood. Claure, who joined Sprint last month, is impressing investors with comments he's making about how he hopes to dig Sprint out of the deep hole it fell into following its disastrous merger with Nextel.
A day after the iPhone 6 launch, Sprint unveiled a new plan called iPhone for Life. You pay $50 a month for texting, data and, oh yeah, talking. You don't have to pay anything upfront for the phone, but you have to lease it for an extra $20 a month. After two years you can get a new phone for free. Will Apple be up to the iPhone 7 by then?
Related: Which carrier has the best deal for the iPhone 6?
Now you can joke if you want about how long Sprint's life will be. Despite the big pop this week, the stock is still down 35% this year and analysts expect it to keep losing money in 2015 and 2016.
But Claure is doing a great job of selling the Sprint story.
Speaking at a Goldman Sachs media and telecom conference (with the awful name of Communacopia) on Thursday, he said that on his first day as Sprint CEO, he flew to San Francisco to meet with Apple CEO Tim Cook to pitch him the iPhone for Life plan. He was thrilled that Apple agreed to it.
"For Apple to stand behind something like that, they got to believe in it. They are using their name," Claure said.
Claure also stressed that Sprint is going to be "very disciplined in the short term" about cutting costs. That's sorely needed while the company still bleeds red ink. At the same time, he noted that Sprint has to do a better job of building out and deploying its 4G network.
And Claure also repeatedly discussed how Sprint had to become the best "value proposition" in wireless -- i.e. offering the best plans at prices equal to or lower than its rivals.
Claure has already taken a big step on the pricing side by eliminating the confusing friends and family plan that it dubbed a "framily" plan.
The fate of Sprint's Frobinson framily, an odd cast of characters that includes a hamster voiced by Andrew Dice Clay married to Judy Greer with a couple of quirky kids, other relatives and friends that have appeared in Sprint TV ads for the past few months, is still unclear. I personally hope Claure puts them out to pasture.
So what's next for Sprint? Claure is enjoying a honeymoon period for now with investors. And it could last for awhile. Just ask BlackBerry (BBRY) CEO John Chen.
But there are still doubts about whether he can turn Sprint around.
An analyst at Cowen & Co. upgraded his rating on the stock to "buy" on Thursday and raised his price target to $8. But on the same day, a Jefferies analyst reiterated his "sell" rating and lowered his price target to $4. Sprint is currently trading around $7.
Still, investors should not underestimate Claure. He has the backing of Sprint's biggest investor -- Japanese tech giant SoftBank. Claure used to be the CEO of SoftBank telecom subsidiary Brightstar. SoftBank has a knack for savvy investments and the company seems committed to resurrecting Sprint.
And SoftBank may soon have more money to spend on Sprint thanks to one of its investments. SoftBank owns a more than 30% stake in Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce giant that's set to go public in the U.S. next week.
Related: Alibaba 101: The biggest IPO of all time
SoftBank is not planning to sell shares but any gains in Alibaba's stock could still boost the value of SoftBank. And that can only help Sprint. Claure even alluded to this at the Goldman Sachs conference.
"I think the Alibaba investment is going to be potentially one of the best investments that we're all going to see in our entire life," Claure said.
If he's right, Sprint should benefit.
Could MetroPCS finally be getting its knight in shining armor? Investors sure think so.
Deutsche Telekom confirmed Tuesday that it was in talks with MetroPCS to merge the beleaguered wireless carrier with its T-Mobile USA unit.
MetroPCS has been bleeding subscribers. But it has a nice cash cushion. At the end of the second quarter, MetroPCS had $2.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments. That's nothing to sneeze MORECatherine Tymkiw - Oct 2, 2012 12:35 PM ET

Let me tell you a story. The first story my father told me, and the first story I told each of you.
Russell Crowe's Noah, in Darren Aronofsky's Noah
Noah is, in part, a story about how we read stories. The line above is what Noah says to his family aboard the Ark, before he recites a version of the opening chapters of Genesis, the story of the world's creation in six days.
But as Noah tells the tale, the images that appear on screen could have come from Cosmos. The earth coalesces from space debris, and the moon is smashed out of it. Life originates as a single cell, then diversifies and expands. In a mix between stop-motion animation and morphing that manages to be linear without being Lamarckian, a fish grows legs, walks on shore and spawns lizards, snakes, early mammals, and an ape, which leaps forth from the trees into a blaze of light, and then we see Adam and Eve in the Garden. The creation account, we're led to understand, is a story, and not an exact account of exactly how everything happens.
Earlier, while Noah is reeling from a vision of the world's destruction which came to him in a dream, his grandfather Methuselah explains to him, "You must trust that He [the Creator, as the film's characters refer to God] speaks to you in a way you can understand." Those two passages bookend the bulk of the story of Noah, and give us a guide about how Aronofsky wants us to read his story of Noah, and how he thinks we ought to read the earlier story (or, rather, stories, since there are lots of flood myths to go around).
At various times, both Noah and the film's villain (Tubal-Cain, a briefly-noted Biblical figure whose anachronistically simultaneous invention of bronze and iron tools earns him only one line in Genesis, but who Aronofsky fleshes out into at least a stock movie villain) stare skyward and ask why the Creator doesn't speak to them or give them some sign. Tubal-Cain, Job-like, does this to seek clarity about what he should do with his kingdom of people, people whom the Creator has apparently consigned to drown without telling them why, or whether there's anything they can do to save themselves. Noah's request echoes Abraham's on Mt. Moriah, before the sacrifice of Isaac. He's decided that humans are not meant to live in the post-Flood world, since the Creator sent him and his sons onto a boat accompanied only by Noah's wife (who we're left to assume is post-menopausal) and the eldest son's girlfriend (whose womb was destroyed by a childhood injury). But—SPOILER ALERT!—Methuselah blessed the daughter-in-law, healing her womb, and she is pregnant. DOUBLE SPOILER: She gives birth to twin daughters. Noah had sworn to kill any girl-child to ensure that God's judgment on humanity would be carried out, and had convinced himself that he was chosen to build the Ark not because he was righteous enough to re-people the earth, but because he was righteous enough to ensure that no children would be born to his children. The arrival of twin daughters, however, suggests that maybe the Creator wants both of his unmarried sons to have wives as well.
Knife bared over his newborn granddaughters, Noah pauses, stares up at the cloudy skies, and asks for guidance. But where an angel descended to tell Abraham to spare his son Isaac, the skies above Noah remain foreboding, filled with portents of either rain or a rainbow. In the end, he surrenders to love. He chooses to interpret that choice as a rebellion against the Creator, and when they leave the Ark he invents—and then surrenders to—wine.
It's a story, then, of fanaticism and its consequences. Noah thinks he's been given clear signs that no new women should enter the world, and thinks that means he has to kill his granddaughters. If he were right, he'd be remembered like Abraham (assuming his hand was stayed, and there was anyone left to remember him), but if he were wrong, he'd be remembered (if at all), like Fred Phelps, Andrea Yates, or the Taliban. The Creator may speak to us in a way that we can understand, but Aronofsky's message is clearly that we shouldn't be too certain that we really do understand that message. Noah could just as easily have read his daughter-in-law's pregnancy as a miraculous sign that humanity would survive, and never considered killing the children. The clarity of such stories and signs lies more in how we interpret them as it does in the raw text (which is why I hate and avoid the term "literalism").
Various people, especially creationists, have taken the film to task for deviating from the source material in Genesis. Genesis specifies that Noah's sons and their wives boarded the Ark, and doesn't specify that—SPOILER ALERT—Tubal-Cain was on board, or that he tempted Ham into mutiny. Aronofsky's Noah is vegetarian, and one of the great sins of Aronofsky's industrialized Cainite tribe is that they kill, cook, and eat living things. But the Biblical Noachian clan sacrificed some of the animals on the Ark after landing, and the smoke from the burnt offerings pleases God enough that he swears never again to destroy humanity. (Though critics are wrong to say that Noah wasn't vegetarian. Genesis 1:29-30 states only that "all plants that bear seeds…all trees in which there is tree fruit that bears seeds, for you they shall be, for eating," an injunction not lifted until Noah leaves the Ark, in Genesis 9:3: "All things crawling about that live, for you shall they be, for eating, as with the green plants, I now give you all.")
Getting caught up in those particulars misses the crucial point, though. Stories about burnt offerings are how you'd communicate to a desert tribe a few millennia ago, but don't speak to modern audiences. Aronofsky understands, as did the nameless multitudes who edited and emended the Biblical texts, that these stories are living things and have to change to match their listeners. Aronofsky's Noah travels across un-Biblically industrial wastelands and leaves out the Biblical animal sacrifice because he's telling the story to us, not our distant ancestors.
And re-reading Genesis after watching the film, you can't escape the realization that Noah is never promised that his family will re-populate the earth, not until after they land and make a thanksgiving sacrifice. Most modern tellings omit that uncertainty, and Aronofsky does well to bring us back to the angst Noah and his family had to feel at the possibility that they might be the last humans ever (e.g., Madeleine L'Engle's Many Waters humanizes the doomed parts of humanity, but doesn't leave any doubt that humans will survive after the Flood). And he humanizes the non-Noachians enough that the viewer is struck by the divinely-commanded genocide we know lies in their future. Could we see those crucial and shocking aspects of the story so clearly if he didn't deviate from the text we've all gotten used to? Shouldn't we, like the characters, be unsure how it'll all turn out?
Aronofsky's also taken flack for adding an environmental message to the movie that isn't present in the original text. After the Ark lands, the God of Genesis explicitly states (using the fabulous Everett Fox translation):
Fear of you, dread of you shall be upon all the wildlife of the earth and upon all the fowl of the heavens,
all that crawls on the soil and all the fish of the sea—
into your hands they are given.
All things crawling about that live, for you shall they be, for eating, as with the green plants, I now give you all.
As for you—bear fruit and be many, swarm on earth and become many on it!
The word "swarm" here seems significant. It's a word used elsewhere to describe the movements of animals, and other translators render it as "slither and crawl" in those contexts. Humans have survived the Flood, but God is now talking about them as animals, not as the nearly-divine beings he made in the Garden. There has been a re-Creation through the flood, and humans are diminished in a sense, and more fully part of nature. The context of stewardship of the Earth, a theme Aronofsky pounds on, certainly runs through Genesis. Or at least through some people's readings of it.
When God grants Adam "dominion" over the Earth, and tells Noah to fill the Earth and gives all living things into his hands, does that mean the natural world is ours to exploit, or ours to tend to? Certainly, many Jews, Christians, and Muslims who read those words in their holy texts understand it to mean stewardship, and for good cause. Bill McKibben's fascinating early book The Comforting Whirlwind traces those themes, especially in the Book of Job, where God's oration from the whirlwind celebrates the wonders of nature, most especially natural wonder where there's no human nearby to see it. This way of interpreting the Biblical stories sees the Creation as the goal of the Creator, and humans as just one part of that grand work. Others see the word "dominion" and see it as a clear sign that we are meant to dominate and control the Earth, not to tend and care for it as a good unto itself.
Aronofsky weighs in firmly with the stewardship camp, and the precepts about reading stories that open and close his own story are part of an argument with those who favor the dominionism voiced by Tubal-Cain in the film. But they are also an acknowledgment that Aronofsky knows better than to insist that his is the only way to read Noah.

Aspirin may also be used to lessen the chance of heart attack, stroke, or other problems that may occur when a blood vessel is blocked by blood clots. Aspirin helps prevent dangerous blood clots from forming. However, this effect of aspirin may increase the chance of serious bleeding in some people. Therefore, aspirin should be used for this purpose only when your doctor decides, after studying your medical condition and history, that the danger of blood clots is greater than the risk of bleeding. Do not take aspirin to prevent blood clots or a heart attack unless it has been ordered by your doctor.
Salicylates may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
The caffeine present in some of these products may provide additional relief of headache pain or faster pain relief.
Some salicylates are available only with your medical doctor's or dentist's prescription. Others are available without a prescription; however, your medical doctor or dentist may have special instructions on the proper dose of these medicines for your medical condition.
Make certain your health care professional knows if you are on a low-sodium diet. Regular use of large amounts of sodium salicylate (as for arthritis) can add a large amount of sodium to your diet. Sodium salicylate contains 46 mg of sodium in each 325-mg tablet and 92 mg of sodium in each 650-mg tablet.

One of the perks of making dreamy, hazy music is that it lends itself to wacky music videos. The Adult Swim-produced video for Neon Indian's oozy synth track "Fallout" is a gorgeous, nearly-NSFW mashup of 80's car cartoons and boobs.
I absolutely love Neon Indian's newest record Era Extraña, and it's pretty awesome that Adult Swim tapped Lilfuchs to direct this bizarre video for one of the record's best tracks. (If you don't know, Lilfuchs is also responsible for the equally-crazy video for Flying Lotus', "Zodiac Shit.") At one point during the "Fallout" video, a car cruising down the road explodes into pieces revealing the big-breasted driver. She pulls down her low-cut dress revealing huge bosoms that shoot out baby blue hearts. Wait, what?
Don't worry, it doesn't make sense to me either, but somehow, it perfectly captures the song's epic, directionless tone. "Fallout" rides on a simple drum-machine beat and rhythmic synthesizer oscillations, which seem to be building towards something, but never really get anywhere. The video eventually degenerates into a psychedelic scramble of sex images and ends without resolution—or "release." Indeed, both the song and the video, like good dreams, fade away too soon.

Tabriz rugs are distinguished by their excellent weave and by their remarkable adherence to the classical traditions of Persian rug design. But they cannot be distinguished by any particular pattern or by their coloration. The city of Tabriz, in northwest Iran / Persia , was the earliest capital of the Safavid dynasty, and it can claim to have been a center of carpet production longer than any other city in Iran. Consequently, it is not surprising that the carpets woven there have been able to preserve the highest technical standards and the most varied repertoire Tabriz rugs offer classical medallion designs and a host of allover patterns as well in every color imaginable, from brilliant rich tones to soft pastels. What sets them apart from other Persian rugs is their quality.
There is no traditional color scheme and the variety of color is limitless, ranging from rich jewel tones to subtle pastels. Tabriz rugs are precisely drawn and executed with care making them extremely popular among designers.
Traditionally, Tabriz has been a city of master weavers. The ateliers in this influential carpet-weaving city established a strong reputation for classicism and quality that is still respected today. Regional carpets feature effortless curvilinear designs, Safavid emblems, allover Herati (fish) patterns, spectacular medallions and masterful motifs of all shapes and sizes.
Antique Tabriz rugs have been sought after by rug aficionados for decades. They are not only one of the finest groups of Persian rugs to have been produced in Persia and they are extremely decorative as well. The rugs of Tabriz are among the most beautiful and most desirable of antique Persian rugs, and have been manufactured in the Azeri speaking area of Northern Iran continuously for centuries.

By Ann Moore
Hampton Union, September 3, 1975
[The following article is courtesy of the Hampton Union and Seacoast Online.]
A four alarm fire swept the Ocean Squire Motor Inn at 81 Ocean Blvd. and K St. Hampton Beach early Labor Day morning.
According to witnesses, fire and smoke engulfed the building as guests ran screaming into the street.
The three-and-a-half story building was "completely involved" according to Lt. William Sullivan who called the third alarm at 5:58 a.m., just three minutes after the fire was reported. Police officers and firefighters evacuated guests, as the fire department set up water curtains between the burning motel and buildings just a few feet away.
Firefighters from Hampton and six neighboring towns fought the blaze for over three hours before it was brought under control. Firefighters then began a painstaking search of the smoldering ruins for three people believed trapped in the blaze.
At 2:30 p.m. police received word from the Customs officials at the Canadian-U.S. border that the couple, Mr. and Mrs. Simoyan with their child and a friend, Arman Seygen, was stopped at the border reroute to Montreal at 1:10 p.m.
According to Lt. David Collins of the Hampton Fire Department the Simoyans had been awakened by the screaming and yelling. Mr. Simoyan opened the door in the hall, had seen flames and evacuated his family by way of glass doors onto a balcony to the street. The Simoyan family with Seygen left for Canada without notifying anyone. Seygen was staying at the adjacent Harris Sea Ranch next door which was evacuated by Det. Sgt. Norman Brown and Patrolman Dennis Pelletier.
One report stated that a man who was walking his dog on the beach ran into the building, beat on the motel doors and shouted a warning to occupants to hurry out. A telephone operator called fire headquarters to report the blaze.
A critical lack of available water early in the fire, was caused by six-inch antiquated water mains whose effective diameters had been reduced to four inches by many years of accumulated corrosion and other buildup, according to the fire department.
Thousands of persons, many of them finishing up vacations on Labor Day, saw the blaze and also watched later as cranes brought up debris and loaded it onto trucks.
The Ocean Squire Motel generally closes after Labor Day, while the restaurant beneath it, both owned by John J. Cardarelli who lives on the premises, stays open all year.
A Hampton Fire Department official said," If the fire had occurred on Saturday night there would have been many more persons registered as guests at the hotel."
Mrs. Michelle Aubrey and Mrs. Claudette Aubrey of Montreal said they and their husbands were awakened by the sounds of people shouting and breaking glass and by smoke. They pitched their suitcases through a window, then climbed down a fire escape and scrambled over the top of a car parked beneath.
According to Fire Marshall Raymond Dewhurst, the blaze began "near a staircase upstairs." Cause of the fire and cause of ignition are unknown, Collins said.
The building was completely demolished. It housed Giovanni's Italian Restaurant, Ann Marie's Beauty Shop, fifteen guest rooms and an apartment for the owners John and Mary Carderelli.
Firefighters kept the flames from spreading to adjacent properties. The small guest house behind the Ocean Squire had windows broken by the intense heat but no fire damage. The Harris Sea Ranch on Ocean Blvd. had some scorching of the adjacent wall. The department was aided by a westerly wind which blew flames and smoke seaward.
Police Sgt. William Ritchie and Patrolman Don Barnard entered the burning building to get people out. They were joined by Dennis Pelletier and William Cross, formerly a call fireman, entered the building with an air pack to assist those trying to escape.
When the police officers were driven from the building by heat, smoke and flame, they took up hose positions until more fire equipment arrived.
Meanwhile, Det. Sgt. Norman Brown and Dennis Pelletier evacuated the adjacent motel and set up a command post to account for survivors. It was through their efforts, Police Chief Clayton Bousquin said, that the identity of the missing couple was established. They also identified the car and license plate of Simonyan and Seygen which led to the confirmation of their safety as they crossed the border.
"No human being should have been in there, but the police officers went in and physically rescued at least six people," Fire Chief Robert Fitz said. "Lt. William Sullivan hosed down the men while they got the people out," Fitz continued, "those men should get a commendation."
Chief Fitz said, "God bless 'em," when asked for a comment concerning the men.
"Lieutenant William Sullivan, his driver Jim Hunt, with William Sturgis on the ladder truck and the ambulance crew Tom Norton and Richard Trofatter were the first firefighters on the scene.
By the time the men arrived from the uptown station, the rescue work was over, the fire had driven everyone on to the street," Fitz said.
While a chance existed that the Simonyans and their child were in the ruins, firefighters continued to comb the wreckage. A crane from Badger Rand Contractors in Portsmouth was ordered by the department to assist in removing the debris.
Asked what the fire loss was, John Carderelli said," sixteen years of my life."
State Senator Robert Preston and his wife Charlotte opened their nearby hotel to fire victims, and assisted police officers with the head count.
Yvonne and John Porier, owners of the Corona House on the corner opposite the fire opened a window onto K St. and gave firefighters coffee and doughnuts until the fire auxiliary arrived.
Mrs. Porier's sister-in-law told how she had looked out her window at the Corona House and seen a policeman jump from the balcony onto a car, with someone in his arms. The officer was Sgt. Ritchie, chief Fitz confirmed later.
While firefighters searched the rubble, an announcement was made over the ambulance public address system in French and English asking for information about the missing victims.
Police routed traffic onto Ashworth Ave., closing Ocean Boulevard for several hours in the holiday traffic. Bousquin said Seabrook police assisted by re-routing northbound traffic., The Sheriff's department, state police, the Meter Patrol all gave help in protecting the crowd of about 1000 who gathered to watch the blaze. Normal traffic flow was established on Ocean Blvd. just after noon.
The fire spread so quickly many guests lost nearly all their belongings. Ann Marie Cardarelli , daughter of the owners who is to be married October 4 to Bruce Goodwin of Salisbury, Mass., lost their wedding gown and invitations in the fire.
Cardarelli, owner of the burned building, who operated Giovanni's Restaurant with his wife Mary, said they would rebuild. "When something has been this good to you over the years, why leave the beach?" he commented.
The location is a few blocks south of the casino.
