OCLC Policy Change Radical Reference Salon Discussion
WorldCat is a great idea—libraries band together to share catalog records in a single repository. Libraries add their own records and download others, spreading the work of maintaining a library catalog across the profession while enabling services like interlibrary loan. But these good acts are in danger of being compromised by a rapacious, monopolizing OCLC that is seeking to severely restrict the ways libraries can share their own data. The new Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records is scheduled to go into effect in the third quarter of this year. What does it mean for libraries? For open access projects like LibraryThing and Open Library? What does it mean for library activists committed to freedom of information, including the freedom of data we ourselves produce? What might meaningful resistance look like, before and after the policy change?

Discussion Summary
Written by: Emily
In attendance: Angie (facilitator), Ann, Ellen, Emily, Eric, Jenna, Jennifer, Jess, Jill, John, Julie, Karen, Lynley, Mel, Molly, Natalie, Romel
We had a wide-ranging discussion about the policy change for about ninety minutes. My notes are sprawling but still somehow incomplete. Rather than producing a transcript, I've pulled out the key problems with the policy change and ideas for political response and listed them here. Please feel free to add/subtract/multiply. No dividing allowed; this is a collective effort.
Jennifer gave a report back from the NYLINK meeting concerning the policy change earlier this month. (NYLINK notes have been posted to the bottom of this wiki.) With this framing and a helpful discussion of the particulars of OCLC relationships with libraries and catalogers, we went around in a circle with those of us who claimed articles sharing key arguments with the group.
- While libraries will be allowed to continue to share records with non-commercial entities (e.g., other libraries), commercial vendors will require separate contracts with OCLC to use those records. This will affect libraries that outsource retrospective conversion projects, entities like Open Library and Library Thing, and other union catalogs like that recently produced by and for New York art libraries.
- Libraries will suffer 'vendor-lock,' being unable to switch vendors and take copy cataloged records with them.
- Shifts in leadership at OCLC have made what was an open, collaborative group from its inception into a profit-motivated monopoly. With a former Deloitte and Touche executive running the show, decisions about data sharing will not be driven by principles of openness.
- Closed data systems mean that WorldCat data does not show up in Google searches, where our users increasingly begin the research process. Will the new policy mean fewer library users?
- Much of the WorldCat data is produced by the Library of Congress in the form of Cataloging in Publication data, a taxpayer-funded entity. When we pay for WorldCat records, are we essentially paying twich--once as taxpayers to produce the record, and again as a library to download it?
- Early WorldCat records were produced by many libraries but all listed as produced by LC. How will the new Policy deal with assigning ownership of these older records?
- The proposed Proposal for Use form does not define 'reasonable use' and gives no process for appeals.
- Many of us reported hearing nothing from our own catalogers about the policy change. John reported on the particularly useful ("Policy For Use And Transfer Of WorldCat Records – Revisited.", written by and directed to catalogers, might be a good thing to send to our colleagues.
- The slipperiness of the 'reasonable use' clause suggests we might adopt strategies from struggles around fair use.
- OCLC extended the discussion deadline. Input can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Suggest SRRT and/or PLG articulate a statement about the policy. The ALA response has been largely neutral.
- Separate the cataloging work from the other functions performed by OCLC (e.g., interlibrary loan). Which could be performed by other library organizations? How might librarians claim ownership of their work?
- Adapt open content/creative commons licensing to original cataloging work, thereby circumventing the OCLC rules. Those of us who do original cataloging (unique materials, archives collections, zines) might license our own records.
- Make connections with political movements that have dealt with similar issues before: e.g., anticopyright movement, open access journals folks.
- Please add items you think people should read ahead of time.
- Please keep them alphabetical.
- Feel free, encouraged even, to provide some annotation.
- Please volunteer to summarize one item for the group at the salon by putting your name after it in parentheses, like this: (Farfel)

- Beall, Jeffrey. "OCLC: A Review" in Radical Cataloging: Essays at the Front, edited by K.R. Roberto. Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Co. 2008. (Emily)
Beall writes with fervor about the problems he sees with OCLC. First, he argues that OCLC represents a monopoly that steals and consolidates the labor of catalog librarians and then sells it back to them at an exorbitant rate. Because they have no competitors--or buy them up, as they did with netLibrary--libraries have little recourse. Second, OCLC has notoriously dirty data and provides no incentive for librarians to clean that data up. Third, despite their reliance on computer science and business majors, OCLC fails to implement software well. Connexion, the cataloging client, goes down with regularity and OCLC is nonresponsive. Beall touches throughout on labor problems with OCLC including their failure to hire degreed librarians, a parochial reliance on Ohio State graduates, and the poor working conditions of temporary catalogers.

Guiding Questions
We expect the conversation to take on a shape guided by who shows up and what they're interested in. Here are some guiding questions we might keep in mind as we read and respond--feel free to add your own.
- Is a true cataloging cooperative possible under capitalism?
- Considering the reach of OCLC's power and products--could we do interlibrary loan without them?--what are strategies libraries and librarians can use to resist them?
- What can open access movements teach us about how to approach OCLC today?
Some notes from Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records: A Moderated Discussion
Please note that these are my personal notes and not verbatim.
Karen Calhoun – VP of OCLC WorldCat and Metadata Services
Moderated by Robert Wolven (from Columbia University Libraries)
This discussion/question & answer session was video-taped and will probably be made available to all NyLink member libraries.
Overview by Karen Calhoun
OCLC hasn't updated its policies since 1987
- with the Guidelines
- update on current process –
- policy created by their board [she says that it wasn't just OCLC people, but it was their board so wouldn't that mean it was their people since it was people they chose to be on their board?]
- policy implementation has been delayed until the third or fourth quarter of this calendar year
- review board has been created to review the policy and discuss policy with community
Expand record sharing
- member and non-members
- archives and museum
Revised Policy to address
- commercial and non-member sources using/copying member records
- via z39.50
- she calls them 'attacks'
See FAQs for more information about questions already asked
- will be considered part of the policy
- some of the questions asked during our session may end up here for future reference
- adds non commercial sharing or archival & museum records
- framed as legal document when the first document (the Guidelines) were not
- is about reaching agreement with outside organizations that are not members of the cooperative and a fair return for the coop as a whole fair return
- new – enhanced content
- cataloging partners – vendors
- search engines
- the records belong to the member that contributes them & OCLC
- to OCLC if you paid for a record to be exported to your library's catalog (copy cat.) your library does not actually own that record, it belongs to OCLC
- pool analogy here
Data sharing environment
- everyone has right policies (this is OCLC's stab at 'everyone else is doing it')
- degree of rights policy usually related to financial viability
[here the speaker becomes a little condescending]
my questions – is OCLC a business? Does OCLC rely on content/data to make money? How are they still a non-profit?
Data sharing environment, continued
- reduce operations costs
- data creation, management
- resource sharing & public services
- enable exposure of library data
- more traffic to libraries from popular websites [like Google Books – she brings this up all afternoon]

Discussion between librarians and Karen Calhoun, moderated by Bob Wolven
Parts of the discussion – Bob was trying to keep us on track
- What is the need for the policy?
- If there is a policy, what should it be?
- What about process?
What is the need for the policy?
Z39.50 – don't you have control over who accesses your database and can't you just approach the issue with those that 'attached' you?
- yes, they can deny access to non-authorized users and they have approached those that 'attacked them'
- between libraries and non-commercial use the use of z39.50 is ok
Price – dropping per use of cataloging transaction
- changes depending on location/geography
Identified companies that were harvesting records – but cutting off all commercial users?
- OCLC has partner agreements with vendors
- Specifies guidelines but those superceded by these agreements
Once customer uploads record to OCLC for customer…
- that record belongs to OCLC and OCLC 'membership' or 'coop' not vendor
- [so the general rules of OCLC record ownership doesn't appear to apply to vendors? Or those records are counted as belonging to the member institution? Either way taking the vendor out of the equation]
legal document?
- yes for provisions for what happens if you violate
- also for negotiations with Google's of the world
- isn't about libraries, about people outside of the coop that want to use member records
- more like a contract
WorldCat API – developers
- want to encourage this
- OCLC is developing this more in the international community right now – with other union catalogs
- Strongly endorsed by OCLC for future development
Harvest set available
- free of charge but have terms & conditions required
Policy ended up being more about control than openness – and hopefully review board will push more towards openness
- need to integrate services
If you want to use these records you have to reach an agreement with OCLC to contribute (give back to), etc to the coop.
If there is a policy, what should it be?
Basically, if a vendor/library share – its ok, but its NOT ok if they (vendor) retains our records and later uses them for profit.
No connection between policy and cost.
Algorithms add value to the records
- therefore OCLC copyrighted the entire database
- 'curatorial role'
- [most of these are added values aren't actually passed on the members after the record has been exported to the local ILS, because the record isn't updated by OCLC ever – only if its done by an outside vendor]
Records created or purchased by the library are not covered by the policy
- original records are not included
- ownership rules come from existing Guidelines
If you are going to share your records with an institution that would sell them to others
- not ok, without an agreement with OCLC
- basically, if OCLC is loosing money, etc. from your relationship with someone else – then you have a problem and an agreement needs to be negotiated
Seems like they are trying to ensure their place outside and within the library community – vendor lock.
OCLC's idea of adding value is subjective, because there are some libraries that have closed collections and don't want their information shared with outside 'Google –like services'
- there are opt-out settings/options for each member, so if they don't want their information contributed it doesn't have to be, but it is considered a service to the larger coop even if everyone doesn't consider it that way
What can OCLC do with unique data?
- use records to support coop
- allow others to process/edit data
What about process?
This is never really discussed – and really number 2 is really just wishful thinking on Bob's part. The entire moderated discussion is mostly just question and answer, and every now and then people throw out their ideas for why this is good or why it isn't, etc. etc.
Some referenced OCLC documents:


text:
There were some signifcant personnel situations to observe at the Blues' practice at Scottrade on Monday. For one, dentally-challenged forward Keith Tkachuk was back on the ice, skating full bore. Tkachuk had not skated since scoring the rarest of goals in last week's loss to Chicago - a goal off his mouth.
After getting hit in the mouth with a slapshot, Tkachuk required numerous anesthetic needles, stitches and root-canal construction work as he suffered four broken toofers, and the total could rise to five downed teeth. Tkachuk was scheduled to see the dentist again after practice on Monday because one of the teeth the doctor was trying to save is giving him fits.
Word has it the Tooth Fairy temporarily has refused service to the Tkachuk household over concerns about handling such a large order.
"It was tough," Tkachuk said. "It was rough for three or four days there. But it feels better, getting some work done and … what are you going to do?"
Tkachuk added: "I go 18, 19 years without losing any teeth and then I do it pretty much at the end of my career. That's a little frustrating, but it's surprise that it didn't happen sooner."
Tkachuk called the injury the "worst thing" that has happened to him injury-wise in a career of parking in front of the net. For two days he was unable top eat anything other than protein shakes, and lost weight as a result. He remains in some discomfort, and faces more dental work down the road. Initially, he was taking some pain killers but quit taking them because they made him feel "groggy."
On the positive side, the goal was career No. 534 for Tkachuk and allowed him to pass Frank Mahovolich and move into 30th place on the NHL's all-time goal scoring list.
"He can have it," Tkachuk said, with a ginger smile.
Tkachuk felt good after practice, but said it was too soon to say if he would be in the lineup when the team plays host to Columbus on Tuesday.
On the other hand … forward Paul Kariya declared himself ready after practicing with the team. Kariya has been missing since Dec. 27 when he took an elbow to the head in a loss at home to Buffalo. He has eight goals and 11 assists. Kariya liked what he saw on the trip west.
"I thought we were really good in San Jose and Los Angeles -we played a perfect road game, " Kariya said. "(The Kings) didn't have much chance to generate offense. We broke them down and then scored some goals in the third period and won the game. We have to bring that kind of game at home."
And on the other, other hand … Andy McDonald did not skate with the team on Monday and looks to be out of the lineup for Tuesday, if not longer. McDonald suffered an injury during the 4-3 win at Los Angeles that coach Davis Payne described as "mid-body." McDonald appeared to be bothered by something in the hip or stomach area while on the bench in L.A. He played only 9 minutes 22 seconds.
"It's one of those things we'll re-assess daily," Payne said. "It was just something (that happened) along the wall. Nothing in particular in terms of one specific mechanism, but one turn the wrong way and he finds himself in that situation."

So my "a-hah" moment came when I finally realized that we could hang doors between the front room and the dining room (creating the ability to close-off the back room and thereby, hide my messes) and I could move my sewing machine in there. It has been fantastic! I'm right off the kitchen so I'm still where the action is, but it's so nice to have a place to keep the machine set up, and to not have to re-clear the kitchen table every night. (I know what some of you are thinking, "Duh! What took you so long?!")
To increase storage, I added an Ikea Hemnes Dresser which looks pretty and can hold projects while I'm working on them, helping to decrease the clutter. I love it! (And I'm proud to say, I even assembled it myself one weekend while my husband was out of town. Thank you.) Finishing the modern colorwheel dresden wall hanging was the perfect finish for this room. I'm so excited about how things turned out! Plus, it's fun to have a pretty place to set up Big Bertha (the Bernina 710) and give her the space she needs.
I may take forever to finally get there, but it sure feels good to get this far. Now on to the rest of the house...could someone please come hold my hand and help me make decisions? Hopefully without a leaky upstairs bathroom to finally get me to take action.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Murder probe may delve into dating, sex website records
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
DOVER — The probe into the death of Elizabeth Marriott could potentially include requests for data from the prominent online dating site OKCupid, as well as two social networks geared around bondage and other sexual practices.
Dover police also requested warrants to search phone records and cell phone tower logs from the night Marriott disappeared. In some of the warrants, police assert probable cause to request information from the three dating and social networking websites. In the case of FetLife.com, police lay out probable cause to request information about accounts used by Mazzaglia and McDonough — "Enigmatic Shadow" and "Rouge Temptress" — or any other profiles associated with the pair. According to a police affidavit, potential evidence could include: all existing information about the subscriber; date of account creation; logs showing IP addresses and date stamps for account accesses; URL; status update postings or listings; messages sent/received/deleted; received mail; sent mail; deleted mail; IM chat; uploaded photos and/or videos; tagged photos and/or videos; blogs; contacts and friends; email addresses; and "any other information" maintained by the website between Jan. 1, 2012, and Oct. 14, 2012." It's unclear whether homicide investigators are actively seeking that information from the websites. Representatives from the sites couldn't immediately be reached for comment Monday. Senior Assistant Attorney Jeffery Strelzin, who is assisting with the case, said professional rules of conduct prevent prosecutors from commenting on potential evidence in a pre-trial case. "That's not something we would ever reveal," he said. |

By JeanMarie Brownson, Dinner at Home
August 14, 2013

People always ask chefs to name their favorite dish. Impossible! But I will tell you this: A ripe peach makes me so happy. Especially a Red Haven peach. I organize my summer around their short season. I buy basketsful of that juicy, aromatic peach, then I pack them into lunches, eat them over the sink and turn them into jam, salads, pie, ice cream, smoothies and all manner of quick desserts.
When they are ripe, we're ready. I have homemade pie crusts in the freezer to hold a double-crust peach pie the minute the fruit turns ripe. For a great peach pie, I peel the peaches (but you don't have to), slice them and sweeten them with a little sugar and a pinch of salt to heighten things. For thickening, I use quick tapioca, my favorite way to thicken fruit pies because it dissolves more readily than other thickeners and does not have a starchy mouth feel.
This summer, I'm using that same tapioca trick to gently thicken a quick batch of refrigerator peach jam. You can use any ripe peach (or even nectarines) for this jam; just be sure they are juicy and tender. If necessary, let them sit on the counter a day or two until the flesh just gives with slight pressure from your thumb. Then refrigerate the peaches for a few days if you are not using them immediately. Know that supermarket peaches get mealy from being refrigerated when underripe.
If you're loath to make jam because of the time and canning equipment investment, I urge you to try this recipe. All you need is a saucepan and some covered containers. The finished jam is simply kept in the refrigerator; it should last a month or more. At our house it's gobbled up way before then, so I freeze a few containers too. This speedy, loose, chunky jam makes a great topping for toast, ice cream, plain yogurt or as the start of some quick summertime desserts such as the trifle that follows.
For the trifle, use large cubes of either pound cake or angel cake and soak them in sugary bourbon before layering them in glasses or jam jars with some of the peach jam and chopped fresh peaches.
How to peel a peach
Heat a large pot of water to a boil. One at a time, slip the peaches into the water and boil just long enough to loosen their skins, about 20 seconds. Remove to a cutting board. When they are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to slip off the skin.
Quick peach jam
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Makes: a generous 2 cups
Note: This recipe doubles and triples easily if you are lucky enough to have a surplus of peaches.
2 pounds ripe small freestone peaches, peeled
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon minute tapioca
½ teaspoon bourbon or pure vanilla extract, optional
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom or nutmeg
Pinch salt
Working over a medium saucepan to capture the juices, slice the peeled peaches a scant 1/4-inch thick, dropping the slices into the pan. Add remaining ingredients. Heat to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until peaches are tender and juices thickened, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool. Refrigerate in a container with a tight-fitting lid up to a few weeks.

Peaches and cream trifle with ginger and bourbon
Prep: 30 minutes
Chill: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
Note: Angel cake makes a lighter trifle. Peach nectar or very sweet black tea can be substituted for the bourbon.
4 to 6 thick slices pound cake (about 10 ounces total)
¼ cup bourbon
5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
½ -inch chunk fresh ginger, peeled
8 ounces mascarpone
½ cup whipping cream
¾ cup quick peach jam, see recipe or best-quality peach preserves
2 or 3 medium peaches, halved, pitted, diced or very thinly sliced
1 cup fresh raspberries
Mint sprigs
1. Have 6 flat-bottomed rocks glasses or jam jars (8 ounces each) ready. Cut pound cake into ½-inch cubes. Mix bourbon and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl.
2. Grate the ginger into a mixing bowl. Add the mascarpone, whipping cream and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar. Beat into soft peaks with a hand mixer or whisk. (Be careful not to overbeat, or mixture will look lumpy.)
3. For each dessert, put a layer of the cake cubes into a glass. Drizzle with a little of the sweetened bourbon. Layer in this order: 1 tablespoon peach jam, a small scoop of the whipped cream, a couple of peach slices and some raspberries. Repeat the layers. Make the remaining 5 desserts. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. Serve garnished with mint sprigs.

Arizona/US Constitution, updated January 2015
Rules News
Rulemaking Moratorium
Office Response to Moratorium
Office Memorandum - Ducey Moratorium January 13, 2015
Office Memorandum, Brewer Moratorium - January 23, 2009
What are rules? What is the Arizona Administrative Code? What is the Arizona Administrative Register? When did the Secretary of State start to print rules? Are online rules official rules? What is an effective date of a rule? How do I subscribe to a paper copy of the Arizona Administrative Code or Register? Who do I contact if I have a question about a rule? Why does an agency have an exemption to the rulemaking process? How can the public find out about changes to rules? How can the public get involved in the rulemaking process? What is a Semi-annual Index? How can I find copies of Governor Executive Orders? How can I find copies of Governor Proclamations? A.R.S. 41-1001(17) states: " 'Rule' means an agency statement of general applicability that implements, interprets, or prescribes law or policy, or describes the procedures or practice requirements of an agency." Virtually everything in our daily lives is affected in some way by rules published in the Arizona Administrative Code, from the quality of air we breathe to the licensing of your dentist. What is the Arizona Administrative Code? The Arizona Administrative Code is where the official rules of the state of Arizona are published. The Code is the official compilation of rules that govern state agencies, boards, and commissions. The 10-volume set includes rules divided into 20 Titles and 230 Chapters. The Code contains all rules made by the regulatory agencies of the state and filed with the Office after either certification by the Attorney General or approval by the Governor's Regulatory Review Council. The Code also contains rules exempt from the rulemaking process or exempt from certification or approval. Code Supplements The office publishes about 325 copies of each Code supplement, for paid subscribers and government agencies. Each supplement contains between 1500-2000 pages of text, printed on both sides. If you do the math, to print the Code supplements this year we will go through 1,300,000 sheets of paper. That's 260 boxes of paper -- over five tons of paper. What is the Arizona Administrative Register? The Arizona Administrative Register (A.A.R.) is the official publication to track rulemaking activity - from an idea or concept of the making of a rule (docket opening) - to the proposal of the rule (proposed rule) and public participation of the making of the rule - to an agency making a final rule and getting it approved by the Governor's Regulatory Review Council or the Attorney General's Office. The A.A.R. as published by our office is an official publication of the state of Arizona and contains the rulemaking activity of the state's agencies, including proposed, final, emergency, summary, and exempt rules. The Secretary of State's Office prints the Registerweekly. Rulemakings initiated under the Administrative Procedure Act as effective Jan. 1, 1995, include full text of rules. In addition, the Register contains the full text of the Governor's Executive Orders and Proclamations of general applicability, summaries of Attorney General opinions, notices of rules terminated by the agency, and the Governor's appointments of state officials and members of the state's boards and commissions. Other documents may be included if the documents are concerned with rulemaking or if state statute requires that they be published in the Register. The Office has an editor
who compiles the rulemaking activity every week into the publication.
We publish around 230 copies each week for paid subscribers and government
agencies. An average issue is about 100 pages. To print the weekly
Register we average over 560,000 sheets of paper a year. When did the Secretary of State start to print rules? Laws 1972, Ch. 35, § 1 required all administrative rules in the state to be printed in one official publication. In 1975 the Secretary of State's Office completed the codification of the rules and published the first multi-volume set referred to as the Official Compilation of Administrative Rules and Regulations. In January 1987, the name of the set was statutorily changed to its current title, the Arizona Administrative Code. Until 1990 supplements were published on 6" x 9" paper as "replacement pages." Since then the Office has published supplements by full Chapters on standard 8 1/2" x 11" paper, making Code set updates faster and easier. Starting in 1997 the Code was posted online at the Secretary of State's Web site. Beginning in 1999 we put the Register on our Web site. How can the public find out about changes in rules? That's where the Arizona comes in. The Register is an official state publication that contains the rulemaking activity of the state's agencies, including proposed, final, emergency, summary, and exempt rules. The Office prints the Register weekly. The rulemaking process is lengthy and can be complicated, Registeris the medium for "tracking" a rule as it makes its way through the process. Exemptions to the Rulemaking Process Please read the editor's notes that may be published at the beginning of each Administrative Register or Code Chapter to learn if rules were adopted under an exemption. Code Chapters printed in the mid-to-late 1990s were printed on blue paper to further notify the public of the exemptions. Are there exemptions to the exemptions? Yes. Where's the exemption? Who gives the exemption? An agency's exemption is written in law from the Arizona State Legislature or under a referendum or initiative passed into law by Arizona voters. How can I find copies of Governor Executive Orders? How can I find copies of Governor Proclamations? The Register contains the full text of the Governor's Executive Orders and Proclamations of general applicability, summaries of Attorney General opinions, notices of rules terminated by the agency, and the Governor's appointments of state officials and members of state boards and commissions. Refer to Semi-Annual Indexes in the Register Table of Contents. Copies of these filings can also be obtained by calling 602-542-4086. Executive Orders are also available online from the Law and Research Library Division of Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records. Visit State of Arizona Executive Orders. This is a numeric listing of the Executive Orders issued since April 22, 1965. The Secretary of State's Office is required to publish a Semi-Annual Index to the Register under the Arizona Administrative Procedure Act. A.R.S. § 41-1013(A) states, "The secretary of state shall publish the register at least once each month, including the information which is provided under subsection B of this section and which is filed with the secretary of state during the preceding thirty days. The secretary of state shall publish an index to the register at least twice each year." Included in this Index are Governor's appointments of state officials and members of boards and commissions; Governor's Executive Orders; summaries of Attorney General Opinions; and Administrative Code sections affected in a six-month period. They are published in June and December of each year and can be found in the Arizona Administrative Register Table of Contents. Are online rules official rules? The rules as posted on our Web site do NOT appear as they are published by the Arizona Secretary of State's office. We offer the rules online, in HTML, PDF, and RTF formats, but by law, the official copy of the Arizona Administrative Code is still the paper copy published by our office. In the HTML format, illustrations, graphics, and some tables contained in rules may not appear correctly because they did not electronically convert symbols and fonts. Please be aware that symbols may also change in the conversion to HTML. Refer to the Disclaimer of this Web site for more information.What is an effective date of a rule? Generally a rule becomes effective sixty days after a certified original and two copies of the rule and preamble are filed in the Secretary of State's Office and the time and date are affixed (A.R.S. § 41-1032). The agency may demonstrate that the rule needs to be effective immediately on filing with the Secretary of State's Office. This information would be noted in the agency's preamble as published in the Administrative Register. Refer to the HISTORICAL NOTE in the Administrative Code for an effective date of a rule. How do I subscribe to the Administrative Code or Register? Subscriptions to the official paper version of the rules are available. Fill out the Order Form and make checks or money orders payable to the Secretary of State. ALL MATERIALS MUST BE PREPAID. There is a fee for commercial use of the Administrative Code and Register. Contact the Office for more information. Who do I contact if I have a question about a rule? The Secretary of State's Office files state agency rule and is the publisher of Arizona rules. Please contact the state agency if you have a question about the filed rules. The contact information is found in the preamble (beginning) of the rule as published in the Administrative Register. If you have questions about rules when reviewing the Administrative Code, contact the specific agency that made the rule. Agency contact information can be found online at the Arizona State Web portal If you have questions about the Arizona Administrative Code or Arizona Administrative Register, please contact the editors at (602) 542-4751; or write: Secretary
State Inquiries can also be addressed to the editors via e-mail on our Contacts page. How can the public get involved in the rulemaking process? The public is encouraged to participate in the rulemaking process by which administrative rules are made, amended, or repealed. Listed are some of the ways in which to participate
References are linked to the Arizona Revised Statutes or A.R.S., a compilation of the laws of the state of Arizona. |

Map & Directions
Take a Taxi Meter from Phuket Airport and ask for Karon Beach. I recommend you take a Taxi Meter as they are cheaper than limo taxi s and bring you directly here without any unnecessary stops along the way. (This a ploy to try and sell you tours or even other accommodation). The Taxi Meter area is located outside the terminal building look for the signs or ask for directions to their stand. Price is about baht 500 or baht 600 one way. Shared Mini vans are also available (baht 180 per person) from the airport. Booking desks are located inside the terminal building, look for the signs. Mini vans are cheaper but may make a number of drop off stops along the way.
We are located close to the Karon roundabout/circle in a U shaped street off the main Patak Road (not the beach road) opposite the Little Mermaid Hotel. Look out for 2 Chefs Restaurant, Papaya Restaurant, Angus O Tools Irish Pub and Karon Centara Resort - we are close to these establishments. We are between Karon roundabout and Karon Temple more toward the roundabout or beach end of Patak Rd.
The journey (depending on traffic and time of day) should be around 45 minutes to 60 minutes.
Ask the driver to call 076 286352 for instructions in Thai.

Rated 4 out of 5 by brandnewmom Great basics!
The "Giggle Better Basics, Footed Pant" is a great pant for your little one! They wash and wear really well. We recently used these as long-underwear on our baby, wearing them as the first layer in cold weather. They worked really well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by gszimmer Versatile, high quality basic
These footed pants have been a godsend. They are high quality, wash beautifully, and solve the problem of losing socks. While they are a little large for my one-month-old, she has worn them a lot and will use them through the fall. One my best clothing purchases to date.

Rated 3 out of 5 by NYCMother cute footed pants, not so convenient for newborns
cute product but not great for newborns, as you have to fully take off the pants to chane a diaper as opposed to an onesie. Also a bit too large for a newborn. Very cute for later perhaps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by aspurway Love these pants
I love these pants and am going to be devastated when he can no longer fit into them! As the other reviewers have stated, they do run big as my little one is still in his at 4 months and 16 lbs. They're thick and durable, for sure our favorite footed pants.
June 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by moconbu Cozy but big!
I got these thinking they would be greta to pair with a side snap (so his cord wouldn't get rubbed) when he was home from the hospital - however.. these just started fitting him at 11lbs! they run big! but are super soft and comfy for him. when he is in them I feel like he is super cozy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by jnfrmurray so cute!
The softest little footed pants around. It is impossible to find "separates" for little ones and these fit the bill perfectly. Very washable with no fading.
May 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Must have for Newborns
I love having the footed pants, and it is really hard to find footed pants in stores. Great quality. Very soft and warm. Beautiful light pink color.
December 11, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by motheringnaomi Runs a little large
These pants are nice additions to baby's first wardrobe. Size-wise they run a little large for my baby girl and they slip off a bit much. She seems to be growing like a weed when it comes to length so I hope she doesn't out grow them before she can fill them in.

Stakeholder assessment report on Penn State's West Campus Steam Plan released
In 2013, concern erupted and the decision was made to reroute a proposed natural gas pipeline, originally slated to go through State College's Highlands Neighborhood, onto the University Park campus of Penn State to supply the West Campus Steam Plant with additional natural gas. At Penn State's energy forum in September 2013, Denice Wardrop, director of Penn State's Sustainability Institute, committed to conducting a stakeholder assessment about this process. The results of that assessment have been released and are available at sustainability.psu.edu.

Half Of Interns Are Victims Of This Illegal Act After College. It's Really Not OK.
In 2005, when I graduated from college, I moved to New York. While I was looking for a job, one opened up that I would have likely tripped my mother to get — but it was an unpaid internship. Being from humble beginnings, there's no way I could live in a big city without being paid. And unless you actually don't need a job, who actually can?
If you liked this cartoon (and who wouldn't — unless you've hired interns and didn't pay them, in which case BOO), you should Like its creator, Matt Bors, on Facebook. He's super, ain't he?

Argosy Experimental Animations
- posted in Medical
During a slow period at Argosy Medical I got to create three animations of my choosing. I decide to do a dust mite, gymnast, and a birth animation. Each animation had it's own complexity's and was very challenging. I had about a month to complete the animations.
The rig for the birth animation was very complex. I used 3d max bones and Ik for the body and spline ik for the umbilical cord. The hardest part was animating the Uterus. That is the pink sack around the baby. I hand animated every vertex moving over the baby's body.
The bed bug animation was a lot of fun to work on. I used a mix of ZBrush and Max for modeling and texturing. I then built a custom rig in max for the bed bug and duplicated the rig for animation.
The gymnast animation had some pretty complex rigging. I skinned three meshes to a Character Studio rig. I then rendered each one mesh separately then composited them in Adobe After Effects. I then animated the alpha channels in AE to fade in and out the skin, muscle, and bone. If you scrub through the animation you can see the different layers.

Bullet and egg vibrators may be small in size, but don't let their miniature stature fool you—these babies pack an incredible punch, proving again and again that good things really do come in small packages and that size really does matter. In this case, smallness isn't a drawback, but a big advantage. Adam and Eve has a wide variety of bullet and egg vibrators, so you can be sure to find the right small wonder just for you.
So what's the big deal about bullet and egg vibrators? Well, for starters, they're easy to conceal in the palm of your hand and small enough to keep in your purse or even your pocket. So no one has to know you're packing heat! With these nifty little numbers you no longer have to sit at your desk at work pining for the vibrator in your nightstand.
Bullet and egg vibrators make midday quickies in the ladies' room a snap. And those overnight business trips don't have to be so boring either. Just treat yourself to some mile-high solo time in transit. If vacation time usually means time away from your vibrator, then think again! Just slip your bullet or egg vibrator in your purse or suitcase, and you're ready to go with your travel buddy always within reach.
Bullet and egg vibrators can also be used with other sex toys, like cock rings and dildos, making them a versatile addition to your toy box. And of course, they're great for couples too. Surprise your honey with a little extra tingle the next time the two of you get busy.
Going smaller doesn't mean forgoing special features. We have many bullet and egg vibrators with multiple speeds, adjustable vibration modes and waterproof seals for underwater pleasuring. Best of all, bullet and egg vibrators are often a fraction of the cost of bigger vibrators. So, go ahead and get yourself one for your purse, one for your suitcase and one for the office. With bullet and egg vibrators, there's no reason not to have spine-tingling pleasure at your fingertips everywhere you go!

Indigo Organic Reactive Glaze Salad Plates, Set of 2
I love these plates. I ordered 6 of them, they arrived in record time. The "finish" on the plates are gorgeous.
May 22, 2013
Love this set
Purchased this set about 6 months ago. Love the depth of the glazing and the irregular shaping of plates. It is an unusual type of set so catches the attention of those who dine with us. Fun, casual and sets a pretty table. No chipping or breakage as of yet.
I have found that the super gloss type of "finish" is just a bit more to take care of. Smudging from lightly oiled fingers or foods do leave their mark so when serving others, I have to look the plate over a bit. But this is a very small detail compared to how satisfied I am with this set. Love them!

The Clones are our test team and abilities range from World Tour competitor to beginner windsurfer, depending upon the requirement we have for the test that we are conducting.
Testing is carried out in North Wales (UK), using 4 main venues; West Shore Llandudno, Rhosneigr, Hells Mouth & West Kirby. These venues offer everything from a flat water speed course to down the line wave sailing. If necessary, the test will travel to other locations when required.
There are so many variables in windsurfing that we feel it is important when testing to minimise these variables as much as possible. When testing boards, we will use identical test rigs to ensure that the rig is playing no part in any differences established. When testing rigs, we use identical boards for the same reason. We also have a set of quiver fins for each test that we use to determine how different fins will affect the boards that we are testing.
We have to be realistic with the time it takes to work through a test. In an ideal world, we would try all combinations of every product, in reality, this is not possible. Boards are tested using their standard fin. If we find a deficiency in the boards performance, then we will use a quiver fin to assess whether it can be helped by using a different size or shape of fin.
The advertising situation always puts magazines in a difficult position when it comes to testing. For example your best advertiser is never going to be happy if you find their board to be deficient in some way. Proceeding with a report of complete honesty is only going to be detrimental to income and as such most magazines are willing to 'give' to some extent. At Boardseeker, we have decided to take an honest approach to testing. No matter how well or badly a company advertises with us, their products will be tested fairly and without bias and the results reported as such. However we do wish to reward our advertisers for their support they give us. As such, we offer 'Extra Information' at the bottom of each test report for advertising brands only. Within this Extra Information box a brand can respond formally to the test, provide links to web pages, photo galleries, videos, dealer lists and any other material that may be useful to our readers. Brands that do not advertise with us are not permitted to respond formally to our test reports and will not benefit from this extra information. The testing process however remains un-biased.
Board Feel – We define the ride as being either 'passive' or 'active':

quote:Hey now. No name calling
quote:Good luck with your lens flares
quote:He wants us to hate it.
quote:I recently watched V and the plot was ludicrous but the jokes and interaction between Kirk, Spock, and Bones had me cracking up because it was so natural.
quote:And that is clearly, demonstrably the worst of the pure TOS films.
quote:I don't care. I watched it. I wanted to like it. I hated it.
quote:To be fair, they did force me to watch the stupid thing after I had decided to pass. I tried to walk out after 10 minutes, then they made me watch the entire thing in silence (I guess I let them make me, if you want to really carry the whole "personal responsibility" thing to its logical conclusion.)
quote:It's not because I'm old or cynical.
quote:You went into it wanting to hate it, admit it.
quote:I...did...not...want...to...hate...it. Why would I want to hate it? I like those characters most of all in the Trek universe. But I do hate it, very much.
quote:You just happen to be these things separately, away from Star Trek, right?
quote:Latest Movie (2009) Old movies TNG TOS Newer (post 80's) movies DS9 Other
quote:Ace Midnight
quote: i'm a pretty big sci fi guy but never got into star trek. I downloaded the first season of TOS a few weeks ago and watched the first episode. I know it is really old and production value doesn't always hold up well over time but if I didn't really enjoy the first episode should I give it up or will it get better?
quote:Despite no history in the canon for Kirk's father being a starship captain or that he was born on a starship apparently signficantly more advanced than the one he commanded 35 years later, I could accept that as fairly decent opening barrage (literally and figurative) I understand our ADHD society and that you have to grab the audience's attention.

Garden City Community College approves project
Published on -4/24/2013, 3:43 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
GARDEN CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Garden City Community College plans to spend $2.2 million to improve its athletic facilities.
The college says the project will allow it to re-establish its track program, which was discontinued in 2007.
The college's board of trustees on Tuesday authorized the project, which will include an eight-lane collegiate track and football and women's soccer fields.
The Garden City Telegram reports (http://bit.ly/15JX5jt ) the improvements will be made at the site of the current track next to the Tangeman Sports Complex.
College president Herbert Swender says the project will be funded by the school's general fund, increased student tuition and fees, and donations.
The school hopes to have the project completed by Aug. 16.
