openprinting.org: Projects and Software
Here are a few links to various printing-related projects:
- Gutenprint
- Gutenprint provides the highest quality free printer drivers around. Color inkjet users will in most cases get the best results with this project's code. The driver has various interfaces: Plug-in for the GIMP, plug-in for GhostScript (IJS interface, GNU/GPL GS >= 6.53, APFL GS >= 7.04, ESP GS >= 7.x), native CUPS driver.
- HPLIP - HP Linux Imaging & Printing
- HP's free drivers for their printers and multi-function devices. It supports most HP printers (including some non-PCL/non-PostScript devices) to their full quality, duplex printing, full-bleed, photo cartridges, ... The printer driver for the non-PostScript printers is an IJS plug-in for ESP GhostScript >= 7.x, GNU/GPL GhostScript >= 6.53, AFPL GhostScript >= 7.04. In addition there is a low-level driver to support all non-printing functions like ink/toner/battery level checking, nozzle cleaning, scanning, faxing, memory card access, ..., a SANE driver for scanning, and a graphical tool for easily accessing these functions.
- PostScript PPDs released as free software by printer manufacturers
- PostScript is the native print data format under Linux and Unix. Therefore one gets PostScript printers perfectly working when one knows about their model-specific commands and properties. This information is available in a both human- and machine-readable format, in the PPD files supplied by the printer manufacturer and intended to tell generic PostScript drivers about printer-specific stuff. The printing systems CUPS and PPR support PPDs natively, and under other printing systems one can use them with Foomatic and so get access to the full functionality of PostScript printers.
- Many manufacturers released their PPDs under a free licence (mainly MIT) and made them available here from openprinting.org. Thanks to everyone who is participating
- To get your PostScript printer working, download its PPD file and follow the instructions for setting up a print queue for a PostScript printer with your printing system (CUPS, LPD/LPRng/GNUlpr, PDQ, PPR, No spooler) and the general instructions for using PPD files. There are also some PPDs for non-PostScript printers which use the "pxlmono" driver.
- GPL Ghostscript
- This is the PostScript interpreter used by GNU/Linux, Unix and alike operating systems to be able to print on non-PostScript printers. Nearly all Unix applications produce PostScript when one sends a file to the printer, and Ghostscript takes this PostScript as input and produces the native language of any printer for which it has drivers. It also serves for PostScript printers: Either for downgrading the PostScript level to an older one or to embed fonts into the PostScript data stream. Many older drivers have to be compiled into GhostScript, but the newer versions (GNU/GPL GS >= 6.53, APFL GS >= 7.04) offer the IJS interface for driver plug-ins and GPL Ghostscript from 8.60 on also the CUPS Raster and OpenPrinting Vector interfaces. Do not use ESP Ghostscript any more. It was discontinued and all its functionality and drivers merged into GPL Ghostscript at version 8.60.
- A plug-in interface which allows to add new drivers to GhostScript without needing to patch and recompile it. This way also inexperienced users can add new printer drivers to their systems. Later on it is also planned that one can ask the driver executable for available options and printer capabilities.
- The Linux Parport Driver
- Tim Waugh maintained the parport drivers (mainly for printing and scanning) in the Linux kernel some time ago.
- CUPS was written by Easy Software Products (ie Michael Sweet) as an implementation of the HTTP-like Internet Printing Protocol. CUPS is the recommended spooler especially for printing in networks, because it is easy to configure due to automatic recognition of remote printers and so configuration-less clients. Also printer option information is made available to the clients. Printer capability information is handled with PPD files, so it is easy to get every PostScript printer working perfectly with it. Non-PostScript printers are as well supported with Foomatic-generated PPD files and foomatic-rip or with the CUPS drivers of Gimp-Print and some proprietary packages. Nearly every distribution uses CUPS as standard printing system. It is also very nicely intergrated in KDE 2.2.2 and newer.
- LPRng
- LPRng is a newer implementation of an LPD-protocol based print spooler done with the goal of a high security level. This is pretty much a thing to use for any medium-to-large installation, as it interoperates well with existing systems and has some good centralized management features. The administration is not so easy as with CUPS.
- PPR is a Postscript-centric (but it'll do the venerable Ghostscript trick, preferrably with Foomatic) print spooler written by and for Trinity College. It has rather good job control and user feedback information (including a "You've Got Paper!" A*L-esque job notification mechanism).
- CPS (Coherent Printing System) is a Foomatic/GhostScript-based print spooling system for Linux which controls printers correctly even when the same physical printer is used in several different modes under different names (e.g., draft, colour, and greyscale on the same inkjet). All spooling is handled by the central daemon which allows network job submission to work without installing the print daemon, Foomatic, or GhostScript on the client machines. Samba printing is also catered for. CPS is written completely in Perl. The license is somewhat strange, the software seems to be free but not it's name.
- PDQ is a system Grant recommended in the HOWTO as CUPS did not reach the level of maturity as it has now; it's a good printing system for non-networked setups (or work place printers) because it is easy to install and to configure. It has no daemon which can crash or can be attacked through a dial-up internet connection and it also does not require any pseudo-network configuration (as the "localhost" network device). Due to being daemon-less you cannot share your printer with other users on the LAN. The system is not maintained any more, and a new maintainer is welcome. Please contact Till if you want to volunteer. Using Foomatic you can use PDQ with every printer which works with free software, for PostScript printers you can use the manufacturer-supplied PPDs, and you can directly print any file type which a2ps knows.
- GNUlpr
- A (formerly) HP-funded project by VA Linux to provide better support for printing. Thus far, they've added some new features and peripheral software to the regular LPD. Plans exist to replace LPD with something nicer. The main person on this, Ben Woodard, was the person who ran all the Linux-based printing at Cisco. The GPR printing frontend is a nice candidate to get a spooler-independent GUI for Foomatic (Till did some work on that) and libppd can be used for PPD-aware applications. The GNUlpr project is not maintained any more, but it has some interesting code which one can re-use for other printing-related projects.
- CEPS is the system used at Cisco. It's a suitable printing system for a large company; work from this is expected to be absorbed into future projects. The project looks rather dead, most files on the CVS are several months old, but there are some files checked in end of March 2002.
Printer Capabilities Handling/General Filters
- Foomatic
- Foomatic is a database-driven system for integrating free software printer drivers with common spoolers under Unix. It supports CUPS, LPRng, LPD, GNUlpr, PDQ, PPR, CPS, and direct spooler-less printing with every free software printer driver known to us and every printer known to work with these drivers. It makes all adjustable options and features of the drivers available to the user. It uses PPD files and so gives also full access to the printer features out of applications as OpenOffice.org or from Windows/MacOS clients. And it fully supports PPD files provided by manufacturers of PostScript printers, and so most PostScript printers work perfectly with every spooler.
- Apsfilter
- Apsfilter is also an infrastructure for integrating free software printer drivers with spoolers under Unix and alike operating systems, but in contrary to Foomatic it supports only BSD-stylish spoolers as LPD or LPRng. It also does not support PPD files. There are some things in Apsfilter which Foomatic does not support, as the possibility to print compressed files and the e-mail-controlled manual duplex.
- a2ps
- a2ps is an Any to PostScript filter. It started as a Text to PostScript converter, with pretty printing features and all the expected features from this kind of programs. But today, it is also able to deal with other file types (PostScript, Texinfo, compressed, whatever...) provided you have the necessary tools. (description from the a2ps home page) a2ps is a good pre-filter for printer spoolers as it converts nearly everything printable to PostScript. Therefore it is used as file conversion filter by the Foomatic filter foomatic-rip to make non-PostScript files printable with every spooler.
- KDE Print
- Since version 2.2.x KDE ships a very sophisticated printing interface which works with CUPS, LPD/LPRng/GNUlpr, and as daemon-less LPD client (with "rlpr"). It consists of the KDE Print Manager, a graphical interface to set up printer queues and to handle jobs, and "kprinter" a graphical interface for printing, which also serves as the printing dialog for all KDE applications. Since KDE 3.x KDE Print supports Foomatic for setting up CUPS and LPD/LPRng/GNUlpr queues.
- XPP is a graphical frontend for the CUPS system. It lets you select all the options from a dialog box instead of using obscure command-line options. It is small and does not depend on any desktop environment.
- PPD-driven graphical printing frontend originally intended for LPD and similar spoolers. With the help of the Foomatic PPD files, it can be used with any printer and any spooler. Till did some work on it to make it nicely working with Foomatic and different spoolers.
- MTink, D4, XW-Tools, and more.
- Jean-Jacques Sarton has developed several tools and drivers for inkjet printing under GNU/Linux and Unix, as the free "MTink" tool to display the ink levels, clean the nozzles, and align the heads of Epson inkjets, or the also free "D4" utility for Epson's multi-function devices (Epson Stylus Scan 2000/2500). The printer driver suite "XW-Tools" and the maintenance utilities for Canon contain closed-source parts but most of the source is available and they are free of charge for non-commercial use.
Enterprise Print Queue Management
- Printer Setup.
- Henri Shustak has developed PrinterSetup.
- PyKota.
- Jérôme Alet has developed PyKota; a comprehensive and feature rich open source CUPS print accounting system.
- PrintingWorks
- Lucid Information Systems has developed PrintingWorks a top to bottom open source print accounting solution. PyKota is the PrintingWorks back-end accounting engine. PrintingWorks offers various components which add additional functionality or assist with the daily administration of PyKota.

Dave Nichol
March 1, 2012
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Dave Nichol, who has served an active role on spread scheme offensive staffs that have made a combined eight bowl game appearances since 2000, has been named outside receivers coach at East Carolina University according to an announcement from head football coach Ruffin McNeill Thursday.
Before his appointment at ECU, Nichol spent five seasons at Pac-12 Conference member Arizona. After arriving in Tucson as a graduate assistant in 2007, he was quickly promoted to full-time status as the Wildcats' outside receivers coach a year later before adding inside receiver responsibilities in 2011.
"Dave brings high-level competition experience from his involvement in the Pac-12," McNeill said. "Dave has also established himself as a great recruiter and a great developer of players, and his understanding of our offense reaches from A to Z. We are absolutely thrilled to have Dave join the Pirate family."
While working with the offensive line during his initial campaign, Nichol assisted in the installation and operation of UA's spread attack. His efforts helped boost offensive production by 130 yards per game over the previous system and arguably provided a foundation for a run of three consecutive postseason games.
Nichol's transition into a leadership capacity with the Wildcats' receiving corps vaulted Arizona's passing game into national prominence in just three seasons. After standing 36th and 48th nationally in 2008 and 2009, respectively, UA was ninth in 2010 after averaging 307.7 air yards per game. The Wildcats improved to third last fall with a clip of 370.8 behind the play of quarterback Nick Foles and receiver Juron Criner.
Criner, one Nichol's prized pupils, ranked 15th among all active FBS receivers (receptions) at the end of his career. In 50 games, he caught 209 passes for 2,859 yards and 32 touchdowns - a number which stood fifth nationally - and as a senior in 2011, was 20th in receptions per game with a 6.8 average.
In addition to his receiver duties, Nichol also served as Arizona's sideline wigwag man on game day relaying play signals from coordinators to the quarterback.
Nichol spent the 2006 season at Baylor as a staff assistant contributing to the implementation of a spread offense that helped the Bears set numerous school single-season passing records, including yards, completions, completion percentage and touchdowns. One of his players, Justin Fenty, earned The Sporting News Big XII All-Freshman honors as a receiver while Nichol worked with the unit's inside pass catchers.
He enjoyed three bowl appearances as an offensive line assistant at alma mater Texas Tech before his move to Waco. While with the Red Raiders from 2003 to 2005, Nichol was part of an explosive unit that topped the nation in passing each season and shattered numerous school, conference and NCAA records.
Nichol was passing game coordinator, quarterbacks and receivers coach at Cisco (Texas) Junior College in 2002, directing a group that led the Southwest Junior College Football Conference in passing and finished second in total offense.
He was a football letterman as a receiver at Texas Tech, and worked as a student coach on the Red Raider staff after completing his playing career. Nichol assisted with quarterbacks and receivers during a pair of bowl seasons, which included a matchup against East Carolina in the 2000 galleryfurniture.com Bowl
Nichol, 35, earned his bachelor's degree in exercise sports sciences from Texas Tech in 1999 before following with a master's in interdisciplinary studies from the same institution three years later.
A native of Chicago, Ill., Nichol graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas (Texas) before enrolling at Texas Tech.

Thanks for sharing
nice price with a barrel.
That sounds like a good thing, is it?Quote:
All removable parts from inside the receiver (rails, etc) are included.
Is this common for these kits or is it needed? Sounds like something that's neededQuote:
Chamber end of the receiver is not included.
Hard to tell from the pics. Does it come with the trunnion u piece, end piece and pin ( no big deal as can be found for $40). Is the receiver demilled through the square trunnion holes or does it have them intact. Please let me know when you receive your kit. thanks, willie
PS a while back I picked up some demilled barrel ends for $15 ( barrel was torched). Had some Sarco swede 8x63 barrels (3@$90?) and adapted and cut off the old chamber and reamed to 8x57 and re profiled the barrel NEW barrel for $45 less my machine work.
Im looking to convert it to .308 when'if i get it all together at some point
Just got the kit in the mail, and laid everything out. here it is:
Havent inventoried every piece yet, but the one big thing im missing? The barrel. I just emailed CFS and pointed this out, so hopefully its just a simple "whoops, sorry about that, its on its way," Ill keep you all posted....
....Which is exactly what they said. Got an email this morning saying it was on the way.
Looks like everything is there (except the barrel as you noted). You even got a receiver stub with the trunnion section intact! A rear receiver section and front barrel bearing and you're ready to build. I've got a German BNZ coded rear receiver section that was torch cut in two places that someone rewelded...sort of. Inquire if interested.
Any German marked parts?
Haven't scrutinized the parts yet, still need to clean the gallons of cosmo off of everything. i havent seen any german marked parts, looks to be all Yugo tho.
I did play with the bipod and it is pretty much new looking under the tons of grease on it, fits great on the shroud, as it should anyhow. Torch cut righ on the end of the shroud, right through the bushing. front site is dissasembled and in the plastic bag. Top cover is in great condition, as is feed tray, dust cover, and most everything else. Picked up a ton of degreaser today at work, going to spend the afternoon (maybe?) cleaning and inventorying everything else.
Didn't mention originally, but when I placed the order, I had the billing address and shipping address different. They sent the pkg to the billing address...where I no longer live. I called and Magnus at CFS contacted UPS and had the shipment rerouted to 29 palms. had to get all the way to San Diego first, but a few days later than planned it made it here. Just got another email saying the barrel that was missing from the kit is being shipped out....to the wrong address again. I called and was told to call back tomorrow when Magnus would be back. hopefully they can intercept it, so its not sitting on a doorstep 200 miles away :P
What those parts can become with some time, patience, and lots of elbow grease.....
soakin the parts in a degreaser right now, let it do some of the elbow work for me while i have a few beers and sleep. Was lookin at the recuperator, and its got "bpr" stamped on it. is that german or yugo marking? The bipod is the only german WW2 marked piece i got in the kit. but it looks like it was made yesterday.

For those of you that remember when rave was king in downtown Orlando, probably remember a place called Aahz. It was actually The Beacham Theatre (now Tabu) at 46 N. Orange Ave. and it was where many famous DJs from the time sprang up such as Kimball Collins.
Well, there was a 20th reunion already, but tonight there will be an encore complete with Collins, Dave Cannalte and many of the faces you probably remember dancing with you until the sun came up 20 years ago (back then clubs would stay open as late as 9 or 10 a.m. in downtown Orlando).
Here's video of Dave Cannalte at Aahz in 1991.
Liesl Bradner, who actually wrote for the Sentinel about the raves back in the day, talked to Aahz regular Dianne G. recently.
"It was so underground so different," she said of the raves held at Aahz more than 20 years ago where many believe the rave scene in Orlando originated. She recalls driving the two hours from Gainesville, where she was a student at the University of Florida, many times just to see DJ's Kimball Collins and Dave Cannalte spin.
"It was mainly about the music – it brought everyone together," says the mom of two boys who is looking forward to Wednesday's night festivities.
"Back then you couldn't hear that type of music (house, techno) on the radio. You had to seek out the raves just to hear the music."
Expect a lot of those Aahz old school classics at tonight's event. The party starts at 9 p.m. and is $15.

PCC in the News
News: Pegg Fits For Softball In Coach Tantlinger's First Win
After 10 innings without a run this season, the Pasadena City College softball team was just looking to cross the plate for the first time in 2014 on Friday night. Enter freshman designated player Jennifer Pegg who delivered the big hit to help Monica Tantlinger pick up her first victory as PCC head coach in a 2-0 blanking of Imperial Valley at the College of the Desert Best on Grass Tournament.
[Late edit--scoring change changed RBI).
With the teams tied, 0-0, in the bottom of the sixth, catcher Allison Lacey and second baseman Audrey Serna strung together singles. Pegg (Temple City High, pictured) then ripped a 2-RBI single to left field that scored both Lacey and Serna for the decisive runs.
Breanna Rodrigo, who had allowed just one hit through five innings, pitched a brilliant 4-hitter for the complete-game win played at Palm Desert's Civic Center Park. Rodrigo struck out three and left two runners on base in the seventh to finish the victory.
The Lancers (1-2 overall) later lost to host Desert, 12-1, in the second of four tournament games.
Today, Feb. 1, PCC plays Barstow at 12:30 p.m. and then Grossmont at 3 p.m. at the COD tourney.

DAYTONA BEACH — Whenever Miller-Leaman Inc. needs something creative done, they call on Daytona Beach artist Angel Lowden.
The water filtration system manufacturer recently asked Lowden, 43, to paint an American flag on the company's building at 800 Orange Ave. in Daytona Beach.
"They had a flag hanging up on the building to represent that they're an American owned company . . . but the flag that was hanging needed to be changed every three months because of the sun exposure, so I was asked to help paint a permanent flag on the building," said Lowden, who has studio space in the company's building.
Lowden said motorists were honking and hollering "USA" at her on Wednesday as she freshened up the paint on the stars and stripes in the 13-by-24-foot painting, just in time for Independence Day.

The Lynchburg Museum System recently released its FY 2015 (July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015) annual report. According to the report, the Museum System saw visitors from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 29 countries. The Lynchburg Museum and Point of Honor served a total of 16,788 people through site visits, events, and outreach programs, an increase of 5% over last year. This includes 1,894 students visiting on field trips, an increase of 48% over FY 2014.
On Thursday, October 29, from 6:00 p.m. -7:00 p.m., the City of Lynchburg will host a neighborhood meeting at the Yoder Community Center, 109 Jackson Street.
The purpose of the meeting is to unveil final construction drawings for pedestrian improvements in the Tinbridge Hill Neighborhood. After a short presentation on the upcoming project, the project designer, contractor, and City staff will be available to answer questions about the project and upcoming construction.
Four "Artful Bike Racks" have recently been installed in locations around Downtown Lynchburg, an area designated as the James River Arts & Cultural District. An installation and ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the project will take place on Thursday, September 24 at 1:30 p.m. at the 10th Street Entrance to City Hall.
The Let's Move! Cities, Towns and Counties (LMCTC) is sponsoring a celebration event on Wednesday, September 16 at the White House in Washington D.C. for localities who participate in the Let's Move! Initiative. As part of this initiative, LMCTC calls upon local elected officials to adopt long-term, sustainable and holistic approaches to supporting healthier kids and families.
Beginning Tuesday, September 22 and continuing through Thursday, September 24 from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. daily, the north and south bound lanes of the Lynchburg Expressway (Route 29) will be closed in the vicinity of the Kemper Street Bridge. Both directions of traffic will be detoured to single lanes via the on and off ramps near the bridge. These road closures are necessary to accommodate the installation of the bridge beams that extend over the Lynchburg Expressway.
Beginning the weekends of Friday, August 21st and Friday, August 28th the entrance to the Mid Town Parking Deck off Main Street will be reduced to one lane of traffic for vehicles entering and exiting the top level of the parking deck. Several areas on the top level of the deck will be coned off for surface repair work. Work is expected to begin around 5:00 p.m. on those Fridays and lasting until Monday morning. Access to the lower levels (Levels B – E) may be unavailable due to the repairs.

ROCK HILL, S.C. (September 23, 2011) - The No. 22 ETSU men's soccer team will have to wait until Sunday before taking the field, as its scheduled match at Eagle Field tonight against Winthrop at 7 p.m. has been cancelled due to inclement weather.
Heavy amounts of rain soaked Eagle Field all of Thursday night and Friday morning, and as a result coaches from both sides agreed that it was in the best interest of the student-athletes to cancel the game. No makeup date has been scheduled.
On Sunday, No. 25/23 Furman will visit Summers-Taylor Stadium to take on the ETSU men's soccer team at 4 p.m. Sunday's contest will mark the first time the Buccaneers have squared off against a ranked opponent at home, while also being in the top-25 themselves.

Before the Poison (Paperback)
Quietly reeling from the death of his beloved wife, Chris Lowndes decides to return to the Yorkshire Dales after twenty-five successful years spent in Hollywood composing film scores. He purchases Kilnsgate House, a charming old mansion deep in the country, but something about the place disturbs him. His unease intensifies when he learns Kilnsgate was once the scene of a sensational murder. More than fifty years earlier, prominent doctor Ernest Arthur Fox was poisoned there, allegedly by his beautiful and much younger wife, Grace, who was subsequently tried, condemned, and hanged for the crime.
His curiosity piqued, Chris decides to investigate, and the more he discovers, the more convinced he becomes of Grace's innocence. Despite warnings to leave it be, his quest for the truth is soon leading him through dark shadows of the past . . . and into a strange web of secrets that lie perilously close to the present.

Fire Safety and Decoration Policies
University of Virginia Housing & Residence Life is truly committed to your safety. With so many students living in such close proximity within our residence houses, each and every resident plays an important role in fire prevention. The following policies are designed to aid in fire prevention and protect the safety of all residents.
In addition to the information on this page, the University Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) can assist in answering questions if you contact the University Fire Marshal at firstname.lastname@example.com. EHS will also perform courtesy inspections upon request.
Smoke Free Residence Areas
All residence areas have been designated as smoke-free facilities. Smoking is not allowed within any part of residence areas or within 25 feet of the buildings, including exterior balconies, stairways, steps and entranceways.

from walls or ceilings are prohibited. Windows are furnished with compliant
blinds or shades.

being easily ignited, such as posters, corkboards or calendars) must be less
than 10%. Any additional combustible material on the walls must be framed
under glass or acrylic/Plexiglas.
- No metal tacks, fasteners, screws or nails. We recommend Scotch® Mounting Putty or Command strips, as these products will likely not remove paint or cause damage to walls. Do not remove the Command strips at the end of the year; these will be removed by Facilities Management staff. Please test the putty product on one area of your wall before using in multiple areas. You can be held financially responsible for any damages made to your wall.

anywhere within the residence area. This includes excess trash, clutter
or combustibles on the floor.

within the residence area other than a match or lighter for the
purpose of lighting a grill or to light a fireplace on the Lawn

Altering or tampering with heating, electrical and fire safety devices or systems is prohibited, including but not limited to smoke detectors, fire alarm systems and fire extinguishers.
The State Fire Marshal inspects each residential area annually for fire code violations. Any area found to be in violation shall be re-inspected, and any resident still in violation of code or Housing & Residence Life regulations is subject to judicial action and possible removal from University housing. Residents will receive e-mail notification when the inspections will occur. Residents of spaces found in violation will receive notice via e-mail of the violation, as well as a follow-up from a resident staff member. Spaces in violation will be re-inspected until the violation is corrected.
Multiple re-inspections or cases of extreme violations may be required to pay restitution, and may also be subject to judicial action up to and including removal from University housing. Any monies collected will be placed in a fund to support fire safety-related education within the residence halls at the University of Virginia.
In the event a resident fails to remove articles considered to impose immediate hazards or serious threat to life or property, they will be removed and stored. Residents may retrieve items that have been removed by contacting the Facilities Service Desk.

We spend the first half of our lives acquiring things, and the second half getting rid of them.
Sound familiar?
If your home is overflowing with stuff, you're not alone. It's all too easy to accumulate worldly goods. And while many of those things are probably lovely and full of emotional resonance, in the aggregate, they're cluttering your life physically and energetically. It's hard to move forward (let alone move) when your home resembles a well-packed self-storage unit.
There are all sorts of strategies to clearing out your possessions, ranging from doing it in one fell swoop to hiring a professional organizer to doing it in increments, like getting a big box and one by one, placing in it items you might be willing to part with. All of these approaches can work — once you've flipped the mental switch.
While that sounds simple, anyone who's struggled with this understands the psychological and emotional challenges of throwing out, giving away or selling beloved possessions. (And simply reminding ourselves that we "can't take it with us" doesn't help.) These five stories, culled from Next Avenue's archives, could help you take your first, or next step.
5 Approaches to Clearing Out the Clutter
1. Identifying too much stuff as a burden is not some modern concept. In the "Economy" chapter of his masterpiece, Walden, Thoreau observed, "I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of."

Comments about Nike Youth Silicone Flat Swim Cap:
I would expect my daughter to get through at least one practice before it ripped. Waste of money.
Comments about Nike Youth Silicone Flat Swim Cap:
This swim cap is labeled for juniors but my six year old couldn't wear it. It was SOOO SMALL. It kept falling off and it's the same color as the bottom of the pool so it was impossible to find.
Comments about Nike Youth Silicone Flat Swim Cap:
The product looked very nice. It got puntured and tore off easily. My daughter swims for a team, and in my years of buying caps, I have not seen one of this quality.

NCDOT awards contracts for three bridges in Davidson County
Published: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 11:26 a.m.
RALEIGH | N.C. Department of Transportation Secretary Tony Tata has awarded three contracts totaling $10.7 million for three bridge construction projects in Davidson County. Work on these projects is scheduled to start this spring.
The first contract will replace the bridge on Interstate 85 Business Loop North over Rich Fork Creek in Lexington. The bridge was built in 1951 and has a sufficiency rating of 48.4 out of 100. That does not mean the bridge is unsafe. It means the bridge has outlived its expected lifespan and no longer meets the needs of today's drivers.
NCDOT awarded the $1.8 million contract to Smith-Rowe LLC of Mount Airy to replace the aging bridge with one that meets modern design standards. With wider lanes, it will improve safety and help drivers reach their destinations more efficiently. Construction is scheduled to start as early as May, with final completion by May 15, 2014.
• The second contract will build a bridge that carries Upper Lake Road over the Hamby Creek tributary and the Norfolk Southern/North Carolina Railroad in Lexington. The bridge will enhance safety by separating motor vehicle traffic from train traffic.
The $4.2 million contract was awarded to D.H. Griffin Construction Company LLC of Raleigh. Work is set to start as early as June, with final completion by May 15, 2015.
• The third contract will construct a bridge to carry Turner Road over Hamby Creek and the Norfolk Southern/North Carolina Railroad in Lexington. By separating rail and highway traffic, the new bridge will improve safety and help motorists get where they need to go more easily.
NCDOT awarded the $4.7 million contract to Blythe Development Co. of Charlotte. The project is scheduled to start as early as June, with final completion by April 15, 2015.

You're in pain. "A little discomfort during exercise is normal, especially if you're trying to increase your fitness, but if it persists, is severe or changes the way you're doing the activity, see a doctor," says Edward Laskowski, MD. A pain that shoots down your leg, for instance, could mean you've injured a disk in your back.
You hear a pop. Acute injuries that require medical treatment, like tears of the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, may be accompanied by an audible sound.
You can't put weight on your foot. If your foot, ankle, knee or hip feels weak or wobbly, it's a sign you've done significant damage.
You have swelling. "Swelling of a joint or soft tissue is part of the body's response to acute damage," says Laskowski.
You feel headachy and nauseated. These are two signs of hyponatremia, a potentially fatal condition characterized by abnormally low blood sodium that may affect as many as 13 percent of recreational marathon runners. It can occur during long, intense bouts of exercise when you're sweating a lot and drinking water to hydrate, which dilutes the sodium level in your blood. That's why doctors recommend electrolyte-enhanced sports drinks if you're exercising for roughly an hour or longer.
You're unusually tired. Ongoing fatigue can signal a thyroid problem, a common condition in midlife women. "One of the key signs is that the muscles fatigue easily and the tendons are painful," says Jo Hannafin, MD. If lots of things start to hurt, ask your doctor to test your thyroid.

Women's Soccer Moves On in NCAA Tournament, Beats West Virginia 2-1
Hello, Provo.
The Princeton women's soccer team punched its ticket to the NCAA Round of 32 Saturday night with a 2-1 win over West Virginia, getting goals by Lynessa McGee and Jen Hoy while holding off a WVU comeback attempt and sealing the win.
The Mountaineers (11-5-4) were ranked No. 21 in the nation in the latest NSCAA poll and were the Big 12 regular-season champions.
Princeton (14-3-1) will move on to face Marquette (17-2-2), a 3-0 first-round winner over Illinois State Friday night, Thursday at 3 p.m. Mountain Time, 5 p.m. Eastern at BYU, the seeded team in Princeton's group of four. The host Cougars will take on Auburn in Thursday's second game.
"To be able to beat West Virginia on their home field is really special," Princeton head coach Julie Shackford said. "This team has found a way to win all season, with some injuries and setbacks, and as coaches we couldn't be any prouder of them."
It is Princeton's first NCAA tournament win since 2004 and fourth first-round win in the program's 10 trips to the NCAA tournament following 1982, 2001 and '04. The most recent three of those have now come under head coach Julie Shackford, who led her team to its eighth NCAA tournament in her 18 seasons.
"I think it was a little bit of an emotional rollercoaster going through the game," Shackford said. "I think that in the second half especially, our defense tightened up and really made some big plays. We have to give a lot of credit to (Princeton goalkeeper) Claire (Pinciaro) for coming up big both in the first half and the second half."
McGee scored in the fifth minute, lifting an arcing shot over the outstretched arm and off the fingertips of goalkeeper Sara Keane, who saved four of the six Princeton shots on goal.
Hoy added to the lead in the 54th minute, zipping past and through defenders for a tap-in shot that put Princeton ahead 2-0.
West Virginia got on the board with an 82nd-minute goal from scoring leader Frances Silva, a header from Kelsie Maloney that halved the lead at 2-1, but that was as close as the Mountaineers came.
Princeton withstood a flurry of West Virginia chances late in both halves, as WVU outshot Princeton 20-12 on the game and forced Pinciaro to make seven saves.
"I think we just had the mindset of just staying organized and our communication was just really good in the second half," Pinciaro said. "I think we just wanted it so badly, we just didn't want to give anything up."
Postgame notes:
• The win was Princeton's 12th in a row, tying these Tigers with the 2002 team that won 12 straight and putting them behind only the 1980 team that won the first 14 games in the varsity program's history.
• Jen Hoy's goal was her 18th of the season, moving her one closer to current assistant coach Esmeralda Negron '05 and her 20 in 2004. Both ended the regular season with 17 goals, while Negron scored three in five NCAA tournament games.
• With the 18th goal, Hoy and Negron are the only two Ivy Leaguers to score 18 in a season since Theresa Hirschauer of Brown in 1988.
• Lynessa McGee's goal made her the first Princeton non-senior to score in an NCAA women's soccer tournament game since Emily Behncke '06 in the 2004 NCAA national quarterfinal against Washington.
• McGee's goal was her fourth of the season, all in the last eight games.
• This was Princeton's first-ever game in West Virginia and second time playing the Mountaineers, both in the NCAA tournament. In the 2008 tournament, Princeton fell 2-1 as WVU scored twice before Princeton (Jen Om '09) added a late goal.
• This was the first NCAA tournament victory for an Ivy League team since 2005, when Yale won twice. Princeton, the year before, won four times to advance to the NCAA semifinal.
• The win was Princeton's first NCAA tournament victory that came away from the Princeton campus.
• Princeton has never faced Marquette, though the Tigers have played in Utah. Princeton faced the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in 2009, losing 2-0.

UMass vs. Ohio State :: 2008 NIT Championship
UMass vs. Ohio State :: 2008 NIT Championship
FORD ON BROWER: "Etienne will be one of our four captains as a senior. Etienne I think is probably our most versatile player on our basketball team. He is someone that has had to fight through injury. The key for him is to hopefully if he stays injury free he is someone that is going to spend a lot of time on the court at a post or wing position. He has really dedicated himself over the summer to have a great senior year. Etienne is one of the hardest working players on the team. There's not really anything Etienne can't do. He will be splitting from inside to outside. He is without question a 3-point threat. You can take twelve Etiene Browers and win a ton of games. He can play one through five.

Driving along 400 South, near Washington Square, you probably saw all the small orange flags covering the lawn in front of the Salt Lake City and County Building this week. Altogether, it's 4,600 flags—one for every Utahn helped by the National MS Society.
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that destroys connections between the brain and the rest of the body, limiting movement. More than 2.1 million people are affected by MS worldwide, and the National MS Society is getting the word out. The flags are just one way they are doing it for MS Awareness Week.
Volunteers place the flags along 400 South.
The Society is working with local businesses to put up banner boards or marquees about MS, and locals are wearing orange ribbons and clothing (orange is the signature color for multiple sclerosis). Many businesses are having days for dressing in orange.
Provo Mayor John Curtis recognizes MS Awarenes Week.
Provo Mayor John Curtis did his part by officially recognizing MS Awareness Week, and Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker will officially recognize the week on Thursday, March 14.
And local teams are gearing up for outdoor MS events, Walk MS Salt Lake City (April 27) and Bike MS: Harmons best Dam Bike Ride (June 29–30), are hosting fundraisers to support their teams this week. Join team The Knights of Limpsalot at Mestizo Coffee House on March 12 at 6 p.m., Gates' Gears at Wendy's (500 South in Bountiful) on March 13 at 5 p.m. and Help Momma Bowlathon at Delton Lanes on March 16.

In North America, a high mortality of soft-shell clams Mya arenaria was found to be related to the disease known as disseminated neoplasia (DN). Disseminated neoplasia is commonly recognized as a tetraploid disorder related to a disruption of the cell cycle. However, the molecular mechanisms by whic...
Sequence analysis of a normalized cDNA library of Mytilus edulis hemocytes exposed to Vibrio splendidus LGP32 strain
In the past decades, reports on bivalves' pathogens and associated mortalities have steadily increased. To face pathogenic micro-organisms, bivalves rely on innate defenses established in hemocytes which are essentially based on phagocytosis and cytotoxic reactions. As a step towards a better unders...
Corrigendum to "Selection and evaluation of housekeeping genes for haemocytes of soft-shell clams (Mya arenaria) challenged with Vibrio splendidus" [J. Invertebr. Pathol. 99 (2008) 326–331]
Host-pathogen interaction models in aquatic species are useful tools for understanding the pathogenicity of diseases in cultured and wild populations. In this study we report the differential in vivo response of soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria) hemocytes against two strains of Vibrio splendidus. Respo...
Identification and expression of immune-related genes in hemocytes of soft-shell clams, Mya arenaria, challenged with Vibrio splendidus

Notice to StudentsThe Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-330)
The following notice is published as a public service for the student body. Federal regulations require annual notice to students on this subject.
Wright State University has for many years regulated access to student records. Federal regulations now apply in this area and are designed to protect the privacy of student records. The statute and regulations govern access to records, their release, and the rights of students to review and, if necessary, challenge information they believe to be inaccurate.
This notice, to be published annually, is a digest of these regulations. The full text is available for student examination in the Office of Student Affairs, the Office of the Registrar, the Affirmative Action Programs Office, and in most college offices. A more detailed digest of the act may also be found in the Student Handbook.
Under the act, "education records" means, with certain exceptions as listed below, those records, files, documents, or other materials related directly to a student and maintained by any unit of the university. The following categories of information are exempt and are not considered to be "education records": (a) records made by university personnel which are in the sole possession of the maker and are not revealed to any other person; (b) records maintained by campus security; and (c) medical and counseling records used solely for treatment. (Records pertaining to students, which are maintained by university offices, are official records, and as such, remain the property of Wright State University.)
Students may seek access to their records by submitting a written and dated request on forms provided by each office from which information is sought. The head of that unit will make the records available within forty-five days and give students the right to challenge any material contained therein on the basis of it being inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate. The right to challenge grades does not apply under the act unless the grade was inaccurately recorded. Exceptions to the right to review records by students are as follows: (a) financial records of parents; (b) confidential letters and statements of recommendation made prior to January 1, 1975, and any other recommendations for which the student has voluntarily waived the right to access.
Wright State University does not maintain education records in any one central office. Records are maintained generally in the respective colleges and schools, the Offices of the Registrar, Student Affairs, Career Services, Admissions, Financial Aid, University Division, Veterans Affairs, Bursar, Athletics, Residence Services, Student Health Services, and Disability Services. Questions concerning the location of individual student records should be directed to the Office of Student Affairs or the registrar.
With specified exceptions, the university may release information in students' records to others if: (a) there is written consent from the student specifying the records to be released, the reasons for such release and to whom, and with a copy of the records provided to the student if desired by the student; or (b) such information is furnished to comply with judicial orders upon condition that the university make a reasonable attempt to notify the student in advance of compliance by the university.
Information identified as public information may be released to anyone without the student's written consent. This includes the student's name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weights and heights of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student.
A student may request his/her name, address, and telephone number not be included in the public student directory by checking the appropriate box on the quarterly registration form. A student may request that public information, other than directory information, not be made public by signing, during the first week of classes each quarter, a request to withhold information, available in Student Affairs. The university will not notify a student's hometown newspaper of outstanding academic achievement (e.g., if the student is named to the dean's list) if the student requests either of the above options.
Education records or personally identifiable information other than public information may be released without the written consent of the student to the following only: (a) other university officials who have legitimate educational interests; (b) officials of other schools in which the student intends to enroll, provided the student is informed of the record transfer, receives a copy of the record, if desired, and has an opportunity to challenge the content of the record; (c) authorized representatives of certain federal agencies, and education agencies, or state educational authorities under certain conditions; (d) in connection with a student's application for, or receipt of, financial aid; (e) state and local officials or authorities to whom information is specifically required to be reported or disclosed pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code adopted prior to November 19, 1974; (f) organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf of, educational agencies or institutions for the purpose of developing, validating, or administering predictive tests, administering student aid programs, and improving instruction, if such studies are conducted in such a manner as will not permit the personal identification of students and their parents by persons other than representatives of such organizations and such information will be destroyed when no longer needed for the purpose for which it is conducted; (g) accrediting function; (h) parents of a dependent student as defined in section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1957; (i) in connection with an emergency, appropriate persons may be advised if the knowledge of such information is necessary to protect the health and safety of the student or other persons; (j) in compliance with judicial order or pursuant to lawfully issued subpoena, upon condition a reasonable attempt to notify the student is made in advance of the compliance therewith.
