Crowley5150 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 61 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
O'Neill Civil Pty Ltd
"O'Neill Civil Pty Ltd" who are a Civil Engineering company specialising in Machienery Hire, Sub-Divisions and Pipe Laying services. They look after a whole range of services that encompass the above titles.
See the "Requirements" for links to their competitors to get an idea of the kind of work they do.
Their target market are mostly Land Developers, Councils and Government services. They mostly deal with males in a management role.
They don't deal with the general public, and usually are talking about quite pricey jobs so the quality of the imagry needs to be classy.
There are currently no corporate colours for the business, and no specific wishes for any new corporate colours. However, any suggested colours for the new logo needs to fit in with this kind of business. For examples of their competitors in similar fields, view http://www.clearybros.com.au/ and http://www.trn.com.au/
Possible ideas was that the "O" in the company name may symbolise a large construction equipment vehicle wheel, either the whole wheel, or part of it...... or... a simple line outline of the top of some kind of construction vehicle sitting over the top of the wording "O'Neill" or even sitting to the side of it as its own icon.
The above are only suggestions but you can be as creative as you can be.
Be creative.

Here's a challenge -- and it's an important one. Read the following brief letter I received today, and come up with a succinct, convincing answer to it. The writer was referring to our full-page article about the Catholic governor of Kansas, who recently vetoed a bill regulating late-term abortions ("Catholic governor vetoes late-term abortion bill," May 11). Her spokeswoman told us that Sebelius was personally opposed to abortion, but was committed to "uphold[ing] current Kansas law."
Here's the letter I received, from a reader in Wichita, Kan.:
"I have no difficulty with our governor espousing her constituency's views publicly, while maintaining differing views privately. Politicians should not be expected to evaluate all proposed legislation according to their personal convictions.
"What if our governor were Islamic instead of Catholic?" the writer asks.
The implication with the latter question is that if we don't require politicians to keep their religious beliefs safely locked in a drawer, they may try legislating headscarves, or maybe statues of Mary in every front yard.
Nobody wants that. But abortion is clearly a different sort of thing. It does not take any religious belief to know that abortion is the taking of innocent human life.
So where do we draw the line? How comfortable can Catholic politicians or the rest of us be with our beliefs informing not only our personal, private lives but also our other daily interactions?
In this election season, it is crucial that Catholics -- both politicians and voters -- spend time pondering their responsibilities in the public square.
Lest it be forgotten, that was also one of the main themes of Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United States earlier this year. On the South Lawn of the White House, with the president looking on, the pope praised our country's "patrimony of shared ideals and aspiration" built on the "self-evident" notion that all are created equal and are endowed by God with inalienable rights.
"As the nation faces the increasingly complex political and ethical issues of our time, I am confident that the American people will find in their religious beliefs a precious source of insight and an inspiration to pursue reasoned, responsible and respectful dialogue in the effort to build a more humane and free society," the pope said.
But what does that mean in concrete, daily living? Let me know how you see the answer, by writing, or emailing email@example.com. (And let me know if you're willing to let me publish your answer.) I look forward to hearing from you.

My name is Mandy, I am a 26 years old, 5'4", 110 lbs, 34D-24-34,
I have dark brown hair and eyes. I enjoy my husband being a cuckold. We live the lifestyle, I enjoy other men
The transition did not happen all at once. It was an insidious thing. I began to loose
interest in my husband sexually. Over time we gradually stopped having sex, I became distant. One night I got a yen and
had my husband dress in my undergarments, panty, bra, full slip. He sat at my vanity as I put lipstick on his lips, and
told him that I would turn him into my dirty slut. I reached down and slipped my fingers into the cups of his bra,
and twisted his nipples, whispered that I wanted him to take his cock out and stroke it for me. That is how our ritual began, I would make him jack off as I watched.
Soon after, I started having sex with other men. I found that a larger penis pleased
me much more then my husband's average cock. I would go out in the afternoon's, sometimes with a married man, or a well endowed black man, or someone who just happened to catch my fancy, in quest of that perfect large penis. The one that stays hard for hours and pounds me to death.
My husband became resigned to my taking control, He would wait patiently at home, in my
panties for my return, so that he could hear about what I had done, and if he was lucky, he could lick my pussy and masturbate for me as I twisted his nipples. My husband tells me now he prefers masturbating to fucking, he likes being in my control, and having me take charge of our sex life. Perhaps I will take it to the next level and let him watch me. Up until now, he has only listened by the closed bedroom door.
I like all kinds of fantasies...humiliation, large cock fantasies, small
cock humiliation, pussy and ass worship, guided masturbation, denial, teasing, strap on, sissification, feminization, pantyhose fantasies.. I bet you want to explore what it feels like to be a cuckold, or maybe you even are one now, I would enjoy hearing your story.
I want and need you to be, my very own jerk off boy! I enjoy the fact that you are touching yourself just for me, while
talking to me, while I am giving you instructions so that you can stroke.
I like to tease you a bit, then deny you a bit. My soft sensual voice, will coax you. You will relax, and enjoy my control
over you for a few moments. I like you to have lotion, and you can bring your toys along as well.
Give me a call and let me push your buttons......I will make your useless cock explode!

the current record for fraudulent papers is held by anaesthesiologist Yoshitaka Fujii, with 172 faked articles.
Successive generations of scientists build upon theoretical foundations set by their predecessors. If those foundations are made of sand, though, then time and money will be wasted in the pursuit of ideas that simply aren't right.
since 1973, nearly a thousand biomedical papers have been retracted because someone cheated the system. That's a massive 67% of all biomedical retractions.
Nature reported that the rise in retraction rates has overtaken the rise in the number of papers being published.

Portfolio Tilt
Portfolio Tilt offers multiple verticals related to business news, the capital markets, and business entertainment.
Our content is well written and properly researched. We cater to business professionals, so we want the look and feel of our brand to embody our audience.
Our goal is to provide high quality content to business and investment professionals. We are looking for a quality logo that reflects this company vision.
Our demographic is mostly male, well educated, and in the 30+ age group.
This logo will replace the "Portfolio Tilt" logo at the top of the page, with the blue gradient background. It will also be displayed across a variety of other media platforms that we use including Twitter, Facebook, Disqus, and more.
When submitting a logo, please provide the logo on either a transparent background, or with a background/gradient color that you think complements your submission. Also, we are flexible with the colors, and although we like blue, we are open to other suggestions.
From a style standpoint, we have an open mind. The key here is that we want something that looks professional and modern.
The logo (creative) itself should be able to stand on its own without the website name, but the entire logo should include the site name.
Please feel free to ask any questions.

Franky.vandierendonck needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
We're going to launch a new webshop, in activity similar to http://www.linnenatwork.nl/.
Our core activity is going to be the sale of boxsprings and accessories to the professional market and owners of holiday houses in Belgium.
As reference material on the boxspring product, you can look at http://www.diamondspringcompany.com.
The professional market (independent hotels) and owners of holiday houses in Belgium. To a lesser extent the consumer market.
I need an identity design which we can use on our marketing materials (business cards, postal mailings, e-mail campaigns, brochures) as well as on our website.
Most important aspects are:
- used color set (we have no upfront ideas on that)
- logo design
- general look of the design
We need a trustworthy, qualitative look to support our message of selling cheap yet high quality boxspring products.
(http://www.)goedkopeboxsprings(.be) stands for "cheap boxsprings" in Dutch.
Please note that the used boxspring technology does NOT contain any iron springs. Hence the design should not make any refererence to iron springs.

Racer49 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 240 diseños de 74 diseñadores freelance.
This a unique business for the UK and one that covers a major problem here, a big lack of dentists. Concept Clinics have developed 2 solutions. The company has developed a "portable" dental surgery, and also a mobile surgery in a truck. The idea is to cover the areas in the UK that have no "dental" coverage, as well as going to "Care Homes" and businesses.
Well as you will see from a visit to the current website (new designs already sorted) the existing logo/brand is very weak indeed, in fact personally I'm not really sure where that came from because ir does not even remotely resemble the business model.
http://www.conceptclinics.co.uk (dont even think about the site its terrible I know)
- I'm after a very strong logo that portrays this unique buisness model. The logo has to work on the website, on the clothing, on the collateral and has to be strong enough to work for the public and government sectors.
- I really don't want to see "teeth" forming the any part of the new logo/brand

LOPID FOR SALE, OSKALOOSA — The Notre Dame boys basketball team lives for these moments. LOPID mg, Twice now, the Nikes have gone into hostile environments in the substate round of the postseason and come out victorious, LOPID without prescription. Buy LOPID from mexico, With all due respect to last year's win over Preston, this year's trip to the state tournament was much more of a fight, LOPID class. Where to buy LOPID, The season nearly ended with a thud against Keota in a district final. The second-ranked Eagles dominated for 3 1/2 quarters of the game, LOPID reviews, Buy cheap LOPID no rx, only to see the Nikes find themselves when it mattered during a 19-4 fourth-quarter run.
With only one day to prepare for Lynnville-Sully — not exactly the team you want to prepare for with so little time — the Nikes needed their best game on short rest, LOPID FOR SALE. They got it, LOPID steet value. LOPID overnight, Three players scored in double figures, which has been a testament to this team all season, order LOPID no prescription. Where can i buy cheapest LOPID online, The Nikes' unparalleled depth was a luxury that neither Keota nor Lynnville-Sully had.
When the postseason pairings came out, buy LOPID online no prescription, LOPID dosage, I figured the Nikes were going to have a much tougher run to Wells Fargo Arena than last year. LOPID FOR SALE, They were going to have to beat at least one of the South Iowa Cedar League teams, and they beat two (for those who haven't kept track, the SICL has had two teams ranked in the Associated Press' Top 10 in Class 1A at various times this season). It's a brutal conference, LOPID dose. Get LOPID, You have to think experience was a big factor in the game. Notre Dame could smell the state tournament after surviving a dogfight against Keota, doses LOPID work. Where can i find LOPID online, The only question was, what could the Nikes do for an encore, LOPID from canadian pharmacy. Or would there be an encore, LOPID FOR SALE. Is LOPID safe, There certainly was. Notre Dame, LOPID trusted pharmacy reviews, Buy LOPID from canada, which struggled mightlily from the perimeter against Keota, regrouped and canned six 3-pointers against Lynnville-Sully, LOPID use. Generic LOPID, Regaining the touch outside was huge in the outcome.
The one thing that both substate games had in common was a simple aspect — patience, LOPID no rx. LOPID FOR SALE, The Nikes did not rush shots in either game, instead passing the ball until something good opened up. LOPID photos, It led to some defensive breakdowns by Lynnville-Sully both on the outside and in the lane.
So what's next, taking LOPID. Effects of LOPID, Well, the state tournament, LOPID natural, LOPID recreational, and the Nikes should get an average seed, probably something in the No, LOPID wiki. 4 to No. 6 range, very similar to last year, LOPID FOR SALE. Their record is excellent at 23-3, and they have losses against 1A, 2A and 3A competition. The Nikes shouldn't be overwhelmed by Wells Fargo Arena this time. With the experience factor coming into play, the Nikes might be able to pick up a win and guarantee themselves two more games.
It should be fun.

How many times have you glanced over my page now? Feeling turned on and scared reading my words over and over. I know your type, I know what you need. You need to be put in your place, you need humiliation and to be talked down to. You're not on my level, you're beneath me, under my foot and under my ass. It's time for you to to submit to a superior young Woman. Can you handle me laughing in your face and tearing you down reducing you to a shred of a human? Can you handle the way I tease and deny your cock? Can you handle the way that I make you jerk off for me while I have you so intoxicated you've been jerking off for an hour getting nowhere? Time to pick up the phone and call me now.

An overdose of aspirin means you have too much aspirin in your body.
This can happen in two ways:
If a person accidentally or intentionally takes a very large dose of aspirin at one time, it's called an acute overdose.
If a normal daily dose of aspirin builds up in the body over time and causes symptoms, it's called a chronic overdose. This may happen if your kidneys do not work correctly or when you are dehydrated. Chronic overdoses are usually seen in older patients during hot weather.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or 1-800-222-1222 to find a local poison control center near you.
Alternative Names
Acetylsalicylic acid overdose
Poisonous Ingredient
Acetylsalicylic acid
Where Found
Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) can be found in many prescription and over-the-counter pain relievers, including:
- Alka Seltzer
- Anacin
- Bayer
- Bufferin
- Ecotrin
- Excedrin
- Fiorinal
- Percodan
- St. Joseph's
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
Symptoms of acute overdose may include:
- Upset stomach and stomach pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting — may cause an ulcer or irritation of the stomach known as
Symptoms of chronic overdose may include:
Slight fever
Rapid heart beat
rapid breathing
Large overdoses may also cause:
Ringing in the ears
- Temporary deafness
Hyperactivity Dizziness Drowsiness Hyperactivity
- Seizures
- Coma
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
Poison Control
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions. This is a free and confidential service.
All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to Expect at the Emergency Room
The health care provider will check your temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. An intravenous (IV) line will be placed into a vein. Lab tests, including an
Treatment depends on the amount of aspirin, the time you swallowed it, and your overall condition when you reach the emergency room. You may receive:
Activated charcoal to soak up aspirin in the stomach
- Laxative to cause bowel movements that help remove aspirin and charcoal from the body
Other medicines may be given through a vein, including potassium salt and sodium bicarbonate, which helps the body remove aspirin that has already been digested.
If these treatments do not work or the overdose is extremely severe, hemodialysis may be needed to remove aspirin from your blood.
Very rarely, a breathing machine may be needed. But many poisoning experts think this causes more harm than good, so it is only used as a very last resort.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Taking more than 150mg/kg of aspirin can have serious and even deadly results if untreated. Much lower levels can affect children.
If treatment is delayed or the overdose is large enough, symptoms will continue to get worse. Breathing becomes extremely fast or may stop. Seizures, high fevers, or death may occur.
How well you do depends greatly on how much aspirin your body has absorbed — and how much is flowing through your blood. If you take a large amount of aspirin but come quickly to the emergency room, treatments may help keep your blood levels of aspirin very low. If you do not get to the emergency room fast enough, the level of aspirin in your blood can become dangerously high.

Yankee Doodle or the Negroes Farewell to America. Words and music by T.L. (London: C. & S. Thompson, 1775?)
As early as the eighteenth century, some African Americans had overtly expressed the desire to leave North America, where they thought they could never get justice, freedom, and equality. During the Revolutionary War, the British offered freedom to any escaped slaves who would join their side; this route enabled several thousand enslaved people to leave the country after the war. Yankee Doodle or The Negroes Farewell to America was a popular song in England that played on the emigrationist sentiment of a part of the African-American population. It extolled - in fake "Negro speech" - the virtue of Great Britain as the land of the free compared to America, the land of slavery.

Would like a Hennessy to start. Tent camper, but my back and hips say "no more!" Mature woman, 5'3", on budget, and have to replace some gear. Thanks a lot.
Would like a Hennessy to start. Tent camper, but my back and hips say "no more!" Mature woman, 5'3", on budget, and have to replace some gear. Thanks a lot.
I'm suspecting a 'mature woman' owns a sewing machine or at least has access to one. In this forum you will find many wonderful ideas and patterns to make your own. Many have done this and have videos or pics describing their process of making very good hammocks and tarps. There is even a hennessy clone thread here that will help you.
good luck.
Check the for sale area on this site. There are some Hennessy Hammocks listed. Also if you visit the main website for Hennessy Hammocks they have their odds and ends sale going on for demo, seconds and clearance items.

Pretty nice deal on a Hennessy Ultralite Backpacker Asym with skins and straps over in the for sale section...
I would have bought one of these myself if I hadn't already killed my bank account this summer buying other gear.
Welcome to the forums, BTW!

Giant and Turner unveiled new downhill bikes at the Sea Otter Classic, while Norco, a company normally associated with freeriding, had a new carbon road frame on display.
Niner's and Ventana's latest 29ers were looking good, while Ibis were raffling off a custom-built Mojo and showing off their new Tranny carbon hardtail.
Newfound Glory for Giant's Jared Rando
Lurking in the Giant pit area was a new 2010 Glory downhill bike for team rider Jared Rando complete with a heavily revised frame and revamped Maestro dual-link suspension system.
As on the recently launched Trance X and Anthem X, Giant have repositioned the rear shock and employed a novel co-pivot arrangement whereby the lower shock eyelet and forward lower suspension link share a common pivot shaft to reduce weight and complexity. The more open arrangement should also make for easier access for shock adjustments.
More importantly, Giant look to have opened up the rear triangle and moved the links further apart to make room for a longer shock. Coupled with the apparently reduced rear travel – 203mm (8in) instead of 224mm (8.8in) – the leverage ratio should decrease significantly for improved suspension quality.
The current model's tapered 1 1/8in-to-1 1/2in front end carries over but that's about it. The swoopier hydroformed aluminium tubing is more heavily shaped than before for more efficient use of material, the rear derailleur hanger is stouter and the rear derailleur housing is now routed through the chainstay.
We don't have official specs yet but given the changes on hand this latest version is likely to be substantially lighter – and probably more capable as well.
Niner Bikes go big with 29ers
Niner Bikes continue to preach their 29in wheel gospel with a revised RIP 9, a 120mm-travel trail bike using the company's novel CVA (Constantly Varying Arc) dual-link suspension and a wealth of clever touches that are said to improve chassis rigidity without adding any weight from last year.
Hydroformed tubing and a bundle of aluminium forgings and extrusions yield a 3.18kg (7.01lb) package including a Fox Racing Shox Float RP23 rear shock. The front end now sports a tapered 1 1/8in-to-1 1/2in head tube, replaceable rear dropouts will work with standard quick-release or RockShox's Maxle through-axle, the cartridge bearing pivots are capped with red-anodised hardware and there is enough tyre clearance for meaty 2.35in rubber.
Niner's RIP 9 offers 120mm of travel using the firm's CVA dual-link suspension design
Niner also take their message to the longer travel segment with their latest WFO, which boasts a whopping 140mm of mountain-eating fun using the same CVA dual-link system.
Though somewhat weighty at 3.63kg (8.0lb) for the frame and rear shock, the frame's enhanced capabilities may make up for the extra mass in many situations. Strength and stiffness-enhancing features abound, from the tapered 1 1/8in-to-1 1/2in head tube and integrated ISCG05 tabs to a hydroformed S-bend down tube that leaves enough room for a piggyback rear shock, and optional 150mm rear hub spacing.
At the other end of the spectrum is Niner's new carbon rigid fork – with precisely 0mm of travel. The new fork is built with carbon fibre from steerer to dropout – including the integrated post mount brake tabs – for a claimed weight of around 550g.
Axle-to-crown measurement is 470mm and fork rake is a 29er-specific 45mm. Suggested rider weight is limited to 109kg (240lb) and Niner will boldly offer the new fork is a generous 10-colour palette. If you can't find one to match your bike, well, perhaps you should answer your phone: 1990 just called and they'd like their splatter paint job back.
With 10 colours to choose from, chances are there's a Niner fork to suit your 29er
Five bucks gets you a new Ibis Mojo (assuming you're the lucky winner of Ibis's raffle)
Ibis have donated a custom-built Mojo to raise money for the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, a trail building organisation in
The bike is based on a standard Mojo frame and has been set up by sponsored rider Brian Lopes as the perfect ride for the Downieville Classic. The premium build includes a Marzocchi 160mm-travel 55 RC3 fork and Roco TST Coil rear shock, an Easton Havoc wheelset, Hayes Stroker Gram hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors, a Kind Shock height-adjustable seatpost, a complete Shimano XTR drivetrain and an Easton Monkeylite XC bar and Havoc stem.
Ibis have donated this Mojo bike to help benefit the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship
Naturally, Lopes also specifies his own signature-edition WTB Silverado saddle and signature-edition Kenda front tyre (a Small Block 8 is used out back for faster rolling).
Raffle tickets are available for just US$5 and Nicol says all proceeds will go directly to the SBTS. Tickets can be purchased at www.ibiscycles.com/raffle but act quickly as the draw will be held on 27 April.
Ibis's innovative Tranny is finally available and can be run geared or as a singlespeed
In other news, Ibis's long-awaited Tranny is finally available. The carbon hardtail's unique 'Slot Machine' construction results in an easily adjustable chainstay to provide easy geared/singlespeed conversions as well as convenient packing in an airline-regulation travel case.
Recent additions include removable housing stops for an ultra-clean look plus a singlespeed-specific rear dropout that swaps the standard derailleur hanger for – you guessed it – a bottle opener. Claimed frame weight is about 1,350g (2.97lb) and retail cost is a surprisingly reasonable US$1,399.99
Turner DHR nearing completion
Dave Turner has pushed back the release of his highly anticipated DHR downhill race frame until January but from the looks of it, it may well be worth the wait.
The new rig will offer 210mm (8.3in) of rear wheel travel courtesy of an all-new dw-link rear end that Turner claims will be snappier under power and offer better traction than the old single-pivot version.
The burly construction includes a 1.5in-compatible head tube with massive reinforcing gussets, gracefully curved conventional main frame tubes to maintain a reasonable weight, and a pair of girder-like plates at the frame's midsection to both anchor and protect the rear shock and suspension links.
Turner have put off their DHR until early 2010, but it looks like it'll be worth the wait
Head tube angle is a speed-hungry 64° and all pivots use Turner's easy-to-maintain bushing system instead of typical cartridge bearings. According to Turner, the bushings have a substantially higher load-bearing capacity than typical ball bearings and are just as smooth if properly installed and maintained.
Target frame weight is 4.31kg (9.5lb) complete with a Fox Racing Shox DHX 5.0 rear shock. Pricing is yet to be determined.
Ventana bolster range with new 69er
Ventana will add a stout-looking new 69er hardtail frame dubbed 'El Chivo' to their range for 2010. The new frame features a number of Ventana trademarks such as a wraparound gusset at the head tube, looped chain- and seatstay yoke construction, a buttressed extended seat tube and characteristically clean and even weld beads. CNC-machined dropouts adorn the rear end and the rear brake caliper is neatly tucked in between the stays for a clean look.
Ventana have a new 69er hardtail called 'El Chivo' which has a unique rear end
Carbon fibre on the way from Norco
Norco will add a pair of carbon frames to the lineup for 2010: a carbon mountain hardtail and a carbon road frame.
Both frames boast a collection of currently popular features such as a BB30-compatible bottom bracket shell and an integrated seatmast while the road frame also adds a tapered 1 1/8in-to-1 1/2in front end for added steering precision and front-end rigidity.
Target weight for the hardtail is 1,320g while the road frame is pegged at around 1,200g.
Norco's road bike will feature a tapered front end and slender rear stays
The company's carbon cross-country hardtail is claimed to weigh around 1,320g

Oregon St. knocks Indiana out of CWS with 1-0 win
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Aaron Slegers was really good. Unfortunately for Indiana, Matt Boyd was great.
Oregon State's Boyd threw a four-hitter in a pitchers' duel the likes of which the College World Series hadn't seen in three decades, and the Hoosiers' first appearance in Omaha ended with a 1-0 loss Wednesday night.
"Entertainment value, I think it was off the charts," Indiana coach Tracy Smith said. "It's just one of those where you had two guys who were on tonight. Unfortunately, we came out on the wrong end of that. As a coach you could be disappointed with the lack of effectiveness in the batter's box, but I think a lot of that had to do with what their guy was doing."
Boyd struck out 11 and Oregon State (52-12) made a fourth-inning sacrifice fly stand in the first 1-0 game at the CWS since 1985. The Beavers now face Mississippi State on Friday needing to beat the Bulldogs twice to reach next week's finals.
The Hoosiers (49-16) went 1-2 in their first CWS appearance and were shut out for the first time this season. Slegers allowed seven hits in his first career complete game, but the Hoosiers couldn't advance any runners past second base.
Indiana finished the greatest season in program history with Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships. The Hoosiers hosted an NCAA regional for the first time and went on the road and beat No. 7 national Florida State in super regionals.
"First, I hope we get some respect," Smith said. "It was so important for us to get here. This thing seems so far off for programs. Until you're there and experience it, it's kind of what you see on TV. It was important for our guys to see it. It was definitely important for me to see it. Now we've seen the blueprint. We know what areas we need to improve on. We know what it takes to get here."
Boyd, who pitched his fourth complete game and third shutout this season, flummoxed the Hoosiers with his mix of fastballs and off-speed pitches. He faced the minimum through four innings. The senior left-hander held the Hoosiers hitless until Michael Basil looped a ball into short right field in the fifth.
The Beavers scored in the fourth when Kavin Keyes singled, went to third on Ryan Barnes' double and came home on Jake Rodriguez's sacrifice fly to right.
Slegers said he realized early that he would have to match Boyd's performance if the Hoosiers were going to win.
"When you know the guy on the other side is throwing well," Slegers said, "it gives you a little bit more motivation to make those pitches because you know runs are going to be at a premium."
Boyd earned his first win in five starts since May 10 against Stanford. He had a loss and three no-decisions in between.
The Beavers played error-free defense behind Boyd, picked off runners in the first and third innings and turned a double play in the sixth.
Boyd, who was drafted in the sixth round by Toronto, took the loss in that game, allowing a run on two hits in an inning of relief of Andrew Moore.
Indiana was the first Big Ten team to make it to the CWS since Michigan in 1984. The Hoosiers were the first from the Big Ten to win a game here since the Wolverines beat Stanford in 1983.
But they struggled offensively, particularly against left-handed pitching, after batting .309, averaging 9.4 runs and hitting six home runs in their first five tournament games. The Hoosiers batted .211 and scored a total of six runs in three CWS games.

Lindenwood University junior Mary Sivage has earned a prestigious Truman Foundation scholarship, which makes her one of three students in Missouri and the first in Lindenwood history to win the award.
The Harry S Truman Scholarship Foundation awarded the $30,000 scholarship to 70 students from 51 American colleges or universities. The scholars were selected by 15 independent selection panels on the basis of leadership potential, intellectual ability, and likelihood of "making a difference."
Sivage, a former foster child, has proposed a Missouri state government program, currently under consideration by the legislature, to help children in the foster care system receive state support to attend college. She said feels honored by the award and is excited at the possibilities it opens up for her.
"This means a lot for me and my future career," said Sivage. "It is a unique accomplishment, and I think it widens my horizons quite a bit."
Sivage, who is pursuing her undergraduate degree in public management and political science, conducted Debate Watch 2000 on the Lindenwood campus during the 2000 presidential campaign, founded a non-partisan political society at Lindenwood University and interned for the St. Charles County Counselor's office. She said she would like to pursue a career in politics, preferably at the national level.
The Truman Scholarship is intended for use with a graduate program leading directly to a doctorate, which Sivage intends to pursue in political science or public policy analysis. Sivage and the rest of the Truman Scholars will assemble May 20 for a week-long leadership development program in Liberty, Mo. they will receive their awards in a special ceremony at the Truman Library in Independence, Mo.
There have been 2,089 Truman scholars since the awards were first made in 1977.

Penguins Snap Crunch's Win Streak, 5-3
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins jumped out to an early lead and held on to snap the Syracuse Crunch's three-game win streak, 5-3, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Friday.
The Penguins scored three times in the first period against Crunch goalie Riku Helenius, who played in his first game since being injured Oct. 19.
"I thought we were rolling a little bit in the first period, and I felt good about it," said Crunch coach Rob Zettler. "Then they had a goal, and boom-boom, they followed it up with a couple more."
Simon Despres ripped a quick shot from the left wing circle past Helenius on the short side at the 2:26 mark.
Jason Megna added a 4-on-4 goal five minutes later, and Chris Conner scored on a tip during a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton power play with 15 seconds remaining in the first.
"I didn't think the chances were crazy, I didn't think the shots were crazy," Zettler said. "They capitalized on some mistakes by us and that was the game. It seemed like the opportunities they had, they were able to bury them."
Vladislav Namestnikov put Syracuse on the board and kept his 13-game point streak in tact with a goal 7:29 into the second. Nikita Kucherov and Jean-Philippe Cote each had an assist.
"I saw (Kucherov) driving on the right side and I joined the rush and he found me," Namestnikov said. "I just had to put it in."
The Penguins responded with a goal by Tom Kostopolous five minutes later, but Evan Rankin scored off of a face-off win by Cedric Paquette to cut the Crunch deficit back to two before the second intermission.
Brian Gibbons returned the momentum back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton with a goal less than two minutes into the final frame.
"Some of us got a little casual, weren't as prepared mentally as we should have been," Cote said. "It all comes down to the mistakes."
Syracuse responded with 9:22 remaining when Danick Gauthier finished off a feed from Namestnikov, but couldn't complete the comeback.
"If you give them chances, good teams are going to score," Namestnikov said. "They're a good team and they capitalized on the chances they had. We scored three and they scored five, that's why we lost."
Helenius finished with 22 saves, while Penguins netminder Jeff Deslauriers had 24.
Syracuse (9-4-1-0) looks to get back on track when it hosts Albany Saturday.
"Hopefully some of our guys learned a little bit of a lesson here tonight, where you have to be ready to play against good teams," Zettler said.

Luna See
The Moon stands due south at first light tomorrow. The portion that's illuminated by sunlight includes an area of bright, jumbled terrain known as the southern highlands.
That region was the first target for an experiment that began 50 years ago tonight — an experiment that helped set up a test of Albert Einstein's theory of gravity that continues today.
The experiment was called Luna See. Scientists and engineers from MIT aimed a red laser at the lunar surface. Over three nights, they fired the laser 80 times, and used a telescope to measure its reflection.
The experiment didn't provide much scientific return, but it did show that you could bounce a laser off the Moon. And that set up an experiment that's still running.
Apollo astronauts and unmanned Soviet rovers left special reflectors on the Moon to bounce lasers back to Earth more efficiently than by using the Moon itself. And scientists have been using those reflectors ever since. Among other things, their work has helped probe the Moon's interior and measured how quickly the Moon is moving away from Earth.
The work has also provided a test of Einstein's theory of gravity, General Relativity, by measuring the motions of Earth and the Moon around the Sun. So far, the experiment has confirmed Einstein's equations. But today they're using bigger telescopes and a more powerful laser to continue the experiment — providing an even better test of General Relativity.
More tomorrow.

Full skirts, shirtdresses, and nipped waists — the 1950s were all about the New Look. And as much as we love the so-femme silhouettes, we'll readily admit that vintage dressing can look a bit too costume-y. Now, we know you guys feel the same, so we've dug through our favorite retailers to find modern iterations of classic '50s styles that look anything but a leftover Ricky's Halloween outfit.
The Curiously Millennial Problem Blindsiding Today's Retail Workers

The Google acquisition of YouTube, which was born in a San Bruno, California diner in 2006 by three ex-PayPal employees, has now become the biggest content repository on the planet. As of a few weeks ago, one hour of video is being uploaded to YouTube every second. The site currently has about four billion daily video views.
(In the time it took you to read those last two sentences, fifteen hours of video were uploaded.)
Here's another stat that won't be a shock: 98 out of the top 100 Advertising Age Top 100 advertisers are on YouTube.
But, over the last five years, I've worked with 60 or 70 B2B companies, and most have told me:
- We don't know how to prove we drove revenue from YouTube
- We're not sure how to integrate our lead generation with YouTube
- We like YouTube, but we're just not sure how to know how much resources are "enough" to allocate to it
The reasons are clear - there are three key hurdles holding them back from jumping on YouTube in droves. But then, there are some pretty interesting reasons that many of these very same companies keep trying.
Reasons enterprise companies may be avoiding YouTube, or adopting slowly:
- Demand Generation: These companies lack a fully integrated demand generation program to back up any new leads obtained from social media channels like YouTube. Their own marketing and sales teams are not in alignment.
- A Double-Documentation Problem: Not only does the YouTube Content Creator Playbook lack B2B best practices or vertical best practices, it also lacks any vendor recommendations, (well, besides Google Analytics) for closed-loop marketing or lead generation from YouTube. Keep in mind, this initiative was aimed at musicians, educators and consumer-oriented content creators, not B2B companies, so you can't fault the Playbook for a lack of B2B focus.
- Integration: The integration of Google+ and YouTube was not fleshed out in the late 2011 premium content program launch and enterprise marketers are confused. And anyone who has ever worked in marketing knows that confused marketers do not allocate budget.
But there's a flip side.
Reasons enterprise companies are checking YouTube out:
- Video search: In B2B sales, video search is a clear and proven driver for getting leads in the funnel. eMarketer stats from June 2011 validate the findings: B2B is using video more than ever to generate leads and execute content marketing strategies.
- Successful examples: Demand generation companies like Marketo, Eloqua, and Oracle's MarketToLead tout the virtues of YouTube in all of their documentation.
- Lack of competition: None of the other platforms who proclaimed to be the YouTube of enterprise ever took off as content platforms. Remember Ooyala, Kaltura, Cisco Show & Share, or 23 Video? Neither do we. The only platform that even comes close is BrightCove and if I had to guess, I think Brainshark may do more from a demand generation perspective.
Bottom line
In the next few months, as Google Plus and YouTube integration gets tighter and tighter (and Facebook's already tight integration gets better), look for much greater use of YouTube in the enterprise. The two key use cases you'll be seeing it in are marketing and training/education.
In marketing use cases, you'll especially see it being used in the earlier-to-middle stages of the sales cycle, especially when buyer education is needed. If that's where your company's marketing is lagging or where your sales are falling flat, it may be worth looking into it, pronto.

There has always been a perceived tension between pro-analytics baseball fans and anti-analytics fans. The battle is already over and done with in front offices, as both have been able to coexist, but there are still fans who disagree. Really, most of the disagreements are caused by ignorance towards the other side, a lack of knowledge. For people to understand sabermetrics, they must get past some of the biggest myths. Here are a few of those myths, debunked.
Myth: We ignore human emotion and intangibles.
Absolutely false. Intangibles, clubhouse chemistry, and more are all part of the thought process of a sabermetric front office (and the ideal sabermetric fan). Look at Paul DePodesta, known by some traditionalists as anti-intangibles, he talked non-stop after the draft about how he loved the personalities of some of the organization's draft picks. He says it is a big part of how he drafts, even with the Mets being one of the most sabermetric teams in the game.
When you look at traditional statistics, it doesn't incorporate intangibles or emotion either. Neither traditional nor sabermetric stats do, so it's not just a sabermetric problem. Every organization has their own method for evaluating personalities, with some weighing personality, intangibles, and clubhouse chemistry more than others. That has existed much longer than sabermetrics has.
Myth: It's all about the numbers — and nothing else.
This covers a bit of the first point, but also enters another important topic: scouting. Some think that sabermetric teams (which now includes all but one or two teams in baseball) don't emphasize scouting, or rely too much on their metrics. I can't tell you how a front office operates in that regard, but I can tell you that as someone who embraces sabermetrics, I value scouting. Just as statistics can be predictive of a player's future success, a scout can see the mechanics of a hitter's swing and see unlimited potential, even when the numbers might say otherwise. Sometimes it's the players that don't succeed at first, but go on to have great careers. While some may think statisticians don't take anything but numbers into account (They think this because former players never become analysts, they become scouts), it's simply untrue.
Myth: The stats are subjective.
Here is where the importance of being informed comes in (if it hadn't already). The purpose of sabermetrics is to look at the game of baseball in the least subjective way possible. The goal isn't to take human emotion out of the game, but to take human emotion out of the way we evaluate the game. There are often players who are "counted out" and cast aside. Take Josh Satin, for example. Satin didn't receive any significant big league playing time until he was 28 years old, mostly due to his age. Satin played four years in college, and wasn't aggressively promoted. That meant he eventually fell out of "prospect" status and was never promoted. He put up minor league numbers on par with David Wright's, yet he didn't get a promotion until years later because of one aspect. That's what sabermetrics looks to eliminate. Players who are too fat, too short, have unique mechanics are frequently not given an opportunity. It really doesn't matter if these players have these traits if they can provide the same production as a "normal" player.
Back to the point. People tend to look at the coefficients of a statistic like wOBA (weighted On Base Average) and say it's subjective, that the creator of the stat just chose the coefficients. But why would a group of people who strive to be as least subjective as possible arbitrarily choose coefficients to put into their equations? That answer is: they don't. Take my example of wOBA. The equation changes slightly every year, but here is the equation from the 2012 season:
wOBA = (0.691×uBB + 0.722×HBP + 0.884×1B + 1.257×2B + 1.593×3B +
Those numbers may seem random, but they are actually based on run expectancy, or how a particular event influence's a team's chances of scoring, which is what baseball is all about. Slugging percentage tries to value events, but only does so for hits, and itself values the hits subjectively. Is a team with a man on third three times as likely to score as a team who only has a man on first? Over one hundred years of baseball tell us no. Notice how an unintentional walk (uBB) isn't worth the same as a single. This is because runners on base only advance one base (and only on a force) when the batter walks while runners often advance multiple bases when the batter hits a single. See how this is all starting to come together?
– – –
There is a stigma surrounding analytics in baseball, just as there is in the rest of the non-sports world. People don't like to believe that what they see (or how they perceive what they think) could be wrong. It's why people working for financial companies get frustrated when their economists put out bad projections, even when the economy is thriving. It's really not about choosing one side or the other. It's about acknowledging the pros and cons of each and using what you can see and what you can't see together. That's the best way to evaluate a baseball team.

Released in 1995 as a three font family, Paradigm forcefully addressed the emaciating effect that digitization was then exerting upon traditional serifed typography. Investigating the new media of a previous era, Nick Shinn deconstructed the first roman type, designed by Sweynheym and Pannartz in 1467, and gleaned, from its minuscules, the low contrast and discreet serif treatment (portrayed by a novel convex effect), which he subsequently applied to both capitals and lower case of a classically proportioned Venetian invention. Now in 2008, the glyphs, metrics and hinting of the 1995 fonts have been refined, Extra Bold and Light weights added, a full range of OpenType features instituted, and the number of characters per style increased almost threefold. It is a major upgrade to a unique typeface.

E-Mail Hoax - Beware Of E-mails Threatening Internet Access Suspension
Cyber criminals are currently using the threat of Internet access suspension to trick unsuspecting users into opening a malicious attachment. One version of the e-mail is supposedly sent from the "ICS Monitoring Team" of the "Internet Service Provider Consorcium" - organizations that do not exist. Its message claims that this consorcium (note the misspelling) conducts network wiretapping and is aware of illegal Internet activities committed by the user. Examples of these alleged activities include the pirating of software, movies, and music.
Take a look at one of these fraudulent e-mails below:
The user is told via this example to open the attached .zip file to see a report of their online activities in the past six months. This file actually contains a Trojan virus designed to communicate with remote hackers. If the file is opened, it will infect the user's PC. The cyber criminals are banking on the fact that some people do, in fact, engage in some form of illegal downloading and will be worried enough about losing Internet service to open the attachment.
If you receive an e-mail similar to this regarding suspension of your Internet access, delete it and do not open the attachment. In addition, always keep your Internet security program updated, which offers anti-virus protection.

Ask The Help Desk - What's "Twitter?"
Question: I've been hearing the term "Twitter" mentioned a lot these days. What is it exactly and how does it work?
Answer: Launched in July 2006, Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging site that allows users to post short updates to the question, "What are you doing?" Updates, known as tweets, are limited to 140 characters in length. They can be posted through any of three methods: web form, text message, or instant message.
The service is designed as a way for friends, family, and co-workers (called followers) to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The New York Times says that Twitter is "one of the fastest-growing phenomena on the Internet." As of July 2008, over two million Twitter accounts were registered.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Never authorized by God!
If Muhammad came back to this world, the "Muslims" would stone him to death. The religion they follow today has nothing to do with the Islam preached by Abraham and Muhammad. Everything the "Muslims" do is wrong: the First Pillar (Shahaadah), the call to Salat prayer (Azan), the ablution (Wudu), the daily Salat prayers, the Zakat charity, Hajj, and all other practices of Islam (see Appendix 2, Appendix 13, & Appendix 15).
[42:21] They follow idols who decree for them religious laws never authorized by God. If it were not for the predetermined decision, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the transgressors have incurred a painful retribution.*
The extent to which Islam (Submission) has been corrupted is illustrated in the following table:
|Islamic Practice Today
|Violated Quranic Principles
|Hadith & Sunna
|6:19,38,114; 7:1-3; 12:111; 17:46; 31:6; 45:6; 69:38-47;plus more.
|All Muslims pay their obligatory charity once a year, and have invented different kinds of charity such as charity for property and jewelry
|God is clearly instructing us to pay our obligatory charity whenever we harvest (6:141)
|Killing whomever they consider an apostate
|2:256; 4:90; 10:99; 18:29; 88:21-22.
|Cutting off the hand of the thief
|5:38, 12:31
|Stoning the adulterers to death
|4:25, 24:2
|Killing anyone who does not observe Salat
|2:256, 18:29
|Killing one who drinks alcohol for the 4th time
|2:256, 18:29
|Forbidding menstruating women from worshiping
|Forbidding women from the Friday Prayer
|Idolizing Muhammad against his will and calling him "the most honorable messenger" or claiming that he was infallible
|2:285, 4:79; 9:117; 17:73-74; 33:37; 40:66, 66:1; 80:1-10; 93:7
|setting up Muhammad's tomb as a "Sacred Mosque"
|claiming that Muhammad possesses power of intercession
|2:48,123,254; 6:70,94; 7:53; 10:3; 39:44; 43:86; 74:48
|inventing an indefensible story about Muhammad's ascension to the heavens on a horse, at the speed of light, and talking God out of 50 Salat prayers. At the speed of light, he would still be traveling within the Milky Way Galaxy
|17:1; 53:1-18
|Adding Muhammad's name in the Contact Prayers & Azan/call for prayer
|20:14; 72:18
|Adding Muhammad's name to the Proclamation of Faith/Shahadah
|3:18; 37:35; 39:45
|Insulting Muhammad by depicting him as a vicious man: they claim he gouged out people's eyes claiming he possessed sexual power of 30 men
|3:159; 68:4. 18:110; 25:20
|Nullifying the fact that Muhammad was the last prophet: by teaching that Jesus will come back to this world. This makes Jesus the last prophet
|Claiming that Muhammad was illiterate, un-intelligent
|see Appendix 28 of authorized English translation of the Quran by Rashad Khalifa,Ph.D.
|A bizarre dietary system with multitudes of prohibitions
|6:145-150; 16:115-116
|Altering the Sacred Months
|Neglecting the Zakat charity through distortion
|6:141, Appendix 15 of authorized English translation of the Quran by Rashad Khalifa,Ph.D.
|Oppressing women and forcing them to wear head-covers and unreasonable clothes; and depriving them of many of their rights in marriage, divorce, inheritance, etc.
|2:228; 3:195; 4:19,32; 9:71
|Insulting women by instituting that "if a monkey, dog, or a woman passes in front of a praying person, his prayer is nullified" (Hadith).
|Not in the Quran
|Inventing numerous rules from ablution, to prayer, to sleeping, to cutting one's nails...etc
|2:67-71; 5:101; 42:21
|Prohibiting gold and silk for men
|5:48-49; 7:31-32
|Prohibiting music and the arts
|7:32; 34:13; 42:21
This is only a minute sample of the violations committed by the "Muslims" on a daily basis.

One person was killed and two others injured in two separate police-involved shootings that took place hours apart Tuesday in Baltimore County and Baltimore City.
In the first incident, Baltimore County police were called to the 5400 block of Dogwood Road in the Woodlawn area about 4:20 p.m. after a homeowner reported a burglary, said spokesman Cpl. John Wachter. Police saw two people run out of the house and get in a green minivan parked outside.
As one of three officers at the scene reached into the van to stop it from moving, the driver grabbed the officer's arm and tried to drag him along with the moving car, Wachter said. "Fearing for his life," Wachter said, the officer fired into the van, and two other officers there for backup did so as well. The driver later died at a hospital, Wachter said, but the condition of the passenger was not known Tuesday evening. A third person who fled in a different direction was later apprehended by a canine unit, Wachter said. All three suspects are male, police said, but it was not immediately known whether they were adults or juveniles.
The officer who was dragged suffered minor injuries, Wachter said. Stolen property believed to be from the home was found amid the shell casings littering Dogwood Road, police said. No weapons were immediately found. The officers were placed on routine administrative duty pending an investigation, and their names will be released in two days.
Michael Jones Sr., a neighbor of the homeowner who reported the burglary, said he was outside mowing his lawn when the shooting happened. Jones said the van tried to flee but was hampered by another car parked in front of it. He said he did not see everything that happened inside the car and did not want to second-guess the officers' actions.
"I was stunned and shocked to see something like that before my own eyes," said Jones, who compared it to a violent movie scene.
At about 7 p.m., a second police-involved shooting happened a few miles away. City police released few details on the incident on Tuesday night.
Baltimore police officers were driving through the 3400 block of Old Frederick Road in the southwest part of the city when they stopped after witnessing what they suspected was a drug deal, according to Lt. Col. Cliff McWhite. The officers, in plainclothes and ballistic vests identifying them as police, chased one of the suspects, who appeared to have a weapon, then shot the man several times, McWhite said. The man was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where his condition was not released on Tuesday night.
In an unrelated incident, a man was shot in the back in Northeast Baltimore about 7:40 p.m., police said. Further information on the shooting, which happened in the 3300 block of Dudley Ave., was not immediately available.
This is not the first fatal police-involved shooting in Baltimore County this year. Last month, an officer shot and killed a Cockeysville man when responding to an assault call. In that case, officers said they confront the man, who had a knife and refused to drop it. There have been about 10 police-involved shootings in Baltimore City this year, with two people killed.
