Emily Smith needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
We provide marketing products for attorneys that provide bankruptcy solutions to clients. We're a business to business firm, but have a strong end user focus. The attorneys we market to need to be able to see that the products will appeal to the general public and thereby will build their firm. We have a bit of humor and tongue-in-cheek in our products and blog as well. We don't take ourselves too seriously.
The target audience is bankruptcy attorneys, but I want to keep the design upbeat and dynamic and have it feature the company name, BKMarketer.com. I don't want the design to be too business-y, i.e., blues and greys.
For style guidance: The Rainbow theme will be used for the website (http://www.jumsoft.com/iweb-themes/)
The logo will used for website and for branding products. It needs to work on a white background and be appropriate to embroider. It can contain several colors. I want it to look clean and sharp - not too complicated yet not too simplistic.

Forces Genealogy
From the site:
From our site you can find records of over 1 million British Armed Forces personnel and over 4000 Regiments, Bases and Ships of the British Armed Forces going back to before 1630.
Our site is split up into different sections with name searches for those personnel whom either died in battle or those still alive today, and our history search details information of just about every unit ever created in the British Armed Forces.
You can even save your searches and bookmark pages of interest to your profile once you have completed a free registration with us, to help you in your quest to put back together the pieces of history you are looking for.
We are the only site to have collated this information in one easy to use cross-referenced database whereby you can cross-match personnel against the units they served in, making it very easy for you to build information on their service history.

Dr. Brown, this link is not loading up for me in Firefox for two days now, but it opens just fine in IE. Have you received any other like notices? Thanks for the post!
I love this site as it doesn't just sit on it's laurels: they have told me today that they have just invested a great deal of money and time getting more information for their databases and will be doubling it's size within the next month!
I spoke to their chief researcher who positively enjoys finding little niche information the larger sites just ignore but which give a real insight into your ancestors military life.
He said he's just found a few thousand French & Belgian military honours that were given to British servicemen during WWI and he really wants to work on Canadian and US troops that were sent to Europe in 1917/8!
If anyone has information on those brave boys you should send them an email directly: I know they'd have that stuff up there immediately!

STOCKTON - Police officers were busy on foot late Sunday night and early Monday morning.
STOCKTON - Police officers were busy on foot late Sunday night and early Monday morning.
At 8:52 p.m. Sunday, officers observed what they believed to be a traffic collision near the intersection of Bianchi Road and Pacific Avenue just north of the Calaveras River and attempted to contact the drivers.
Both drivers fled, one on foot, and he was caught after a short foot pursuit. The other driver fled in his vehicle, leading officers on a two-minute, two-mile chase reaching speeds of 80 mph. The vehicle became disabled, and that driver attempted to flee on foot. He too was caught by pursuing officers, police reported.
Arrested were 19-year-old Alexander Rangel on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest and 20-year-old Angelo Zamora on suspicion of failure to yield, driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest.
At 1:45 a.m. Monday, officers responded to the neighborhood around North Manchester and West Monterey avenues just south of University of the Pacific on reports of a suspicious person. They located a person carrying computer equipment. He fled when they attempted to contact him. Officers caught him after a short foot pursuit. A 16-year-old juvenile was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of stolen property and resisting arrest.

Wearing; Wildfox Fox box Tee, Zara pants, Miista shoes
You know, I haven't watched the Fantastic Mr. Fox movie yet! and it's probably so me..
My biggest obsession with foxes comes from my Childhood and the "Gingerbread Man" story, I think versions on the story vary but in the one I'm brought up with it's; "fox, fox my feet get wet" and the fox says; come sit on my nose, I keep you dry.. and then the fox snatches and devours him... Epic
A great inspiration post on foxes from the Clothes Horse here (with a great collection of fox worthy items like a tote and purse!!), Must have fox shoes here and Wildfox fox box tee here.

The time is drawing near. I am very close to finishing my reconstruction of my series I. I plan on posting some photos when complete if anyone would like to see it.
In the mean time all I can do is dream. Last night I dreamt I was flying along and suddenly a BE pulled out of the end of one of the aileron pushrod tubes. I don't recall what happened from there.
That is why I am curious to know if anyone out there has had a real life similar experience or would know if a Lazair could be controlled enough to get to a spot to land. What about a ruddervator pushrod mishap.
Can anyone have any input into this?

And you proably just covered your mileage. $150 isn't out of line for a well established, one-stop irrigation shop. Companies such as these spend lots of money maintaing their overhead in order to better serve their customers. I wouldn't rip on someone's pricing, it typically reflects what type of service a customer can expect, with exceptions.
Customer's have the choice of what amount of money they wish to spend, that's why we give qoutes. Does the reputation of service meet the cost of service?...their choice.
Too funny, I just walked across my street to fix the heads for my neighbor...Most installers think it is magic on these systems...And I laugh since I did this for a living. Again it is what I posted above..It is not like working for NASA here folks...Simple
Another easy one was another client was told $300 for a new 1" Febco backflow...I said $75 for a complete unit or $35 for the parks to fix...The upsell is amazing...

Semen analysis measures the amount and quality of a man's semen and sperm. Semen is the thick, white fluid released during ejaculation that contains sperm.
This test is sometimes called a sperm count.
Alternative Names
Male fertility test; Sperm count
How the Test is Performed
You will need to provide a semen sample. Your health care provider will explain how to collect a sample.
Methods for collecting a sperm sample include:
Masturbating into a sterile jar or cup
Using a special condom during intercourse given to you by your doctor or nurse
You should get the sample to the lab within 30 minutes. If the sample is collected at home, keep it in the inside pocket of coat so that it will stay at body temperature while you are transporting it.
A laboratory specialist must look at the sample within 2 hours of the collection. The earlier the sample is analyzed, the more reliable the results. The following things will be evaluated:
- How the semen thickens into a solid and turns to liquid
- Fluid thickness, acidity, and sugar content
- Resistance to flow (viscosity)
- Movement of the sperm (motility)
- Number and structure of the sperm
- Volume of semen
How to Prepare for the Test
Do not have any sexual activity that causes ejaculation for 2 – 3 days before the test.
How the Test will Feel
Talk to your health care provider if you are uncomfortable with how the sample is to be collected.
Why the Test is Performed
Semen analysis is one of the first tests done to evaluate a man's fertility. It can help determine if a problem in sperm production or quality of the sperm is causing
The test may also be used after a
The test may also be performed for the following condition:
Klinefelter syndrome
Normal Results
A few of the common normal values are listed below.
- The normal volume varies from 1.5 to 5.0 milliliter per ejaculation.
- The sperm count varies from 20 to 150 million sperm per milliliter.
- At least 60% of the sperm should have a normal shape and show normal forward movement (motility).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
It is not completely clear how these values and other results from a semen analysis should be interpreted. An abnormal result does not always mean there is a problem with a man's ability to have children.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may suggest a male infertility problem. For example, if the sperm count is very low or very high, a man may be less fertile. The acidity of the semen and the presence of white blood cells (suggesting infection) may affect fertility. Testing may reveal abnormal shapes or abnormal movements of the sperm.
However, there are many unknowns in male infertility. Further testing may be needed if abnormalities are found.
Many of these problems are treatable.
There are no risks.
The following may affect a man's fertility:
- Alcohol
- Many recreational and prescription drugs
- Tobacco

New products: high-definition JVC camcorder and more
This weekly roundup takes a look at the practical and sometimes quirky aspects of tech products.
Catch the action
When you're trying to capture fast breaks on the basketball court, you need a camcorder that's as fast as your favorite athlete. The Procision JVC GC-PX100 promises to do just that. Designed to capture full high-definition video at 36 megabits per second, the camcorder can play back the video in slow motion, letting you or the coach analyze every move. The viewing angle also can be quickly adjusted, allowing you to go from a full team perspective to an up-close view of a blocked shot. Equipped with a fast F1.2 lens, a 12.8-megapixel back-illuminated sensor, an optical stabilizer and a 3-inch tiltable LCD monitor, the camera can be set to shoot at five different speeds. It also can grab bursts of nine still images from the video with one touch of a button. Using the camera's Wi-Fi connectivity, you can send video and images to a smartphone and tablet, which the coach can analyze and mark up with a free coach app. The GC-PX100 Full HD Everio Camcorder will go on sale in March for about $1,000.
Let the noise in
Earbuds that block out unwanted sounds are great — unless the sound you don't hear is a horn blaring as you walk in the path of an oncoming car. To minimize such scenarios, SafeSound Products has created Airbudz. Designed to fit over earphones with removable earbuds, the Airbudz have air channels that let in music as well as ambient noise. Available in a variety of colors, a package of nine pairs of Airbudz in three different sizes cost $15. A glow-in-the dark package is also available for a dollar more.
Bar delivers 3D sound
The concept of 3D video is something most movie fans are familiar with. In an appeal to those audiophiles among us, Toshiba has teamed up with Sonic Emotion to create the SBX1250 Sound Bar. About as long as a yardstick, the slim black device can be placed next to your high-def TV or hung from a wall with the included bracket. Equipped with a built-in woofer, the 3D Sound Bar fills the room with rich sounds, including solid bass. The speaker can also be connected to other electronic devices, including laptops and Blu-ray players. Plus, you can set it to produce sound that's just right for enjoying a movie, a game or music. Priced at about $150, the 110-watt speaker comes with a wireless remote control.
Tablet case makes room for paper
Even the most die-hard tablet fan sometimes needs a piece of paper. For iPad mini owners, the solution is simple: A case that's designed to hold the tablet on one side and a notepad on the other. The case also can store your business cards, stylus, pen, cash and other documents. Covered with a gray jute natural fiber or black leatherette, the Booqpad mini case from Booq ships with a 50-sheet notepad. It costs about $40.

It is that time again and for this update we are going to bring you some of the best parts of our invasion of the Exxxotica 09 convention. It is amazing what porn fans will do for money, and we got a hand full of ladies to jump on stage with us and act a fool. After that we took a little ride with Havoc in search of a nice couple willing to take a crash course in driving stick. The only catch is that we have to use the guys cock as the stick shift and the girl has to drive topless. After that we get two sisters to show us exactly how close they are by doing the unthinkable, we convinced them to apply chap stick to one another butt holes and then apply the same stick to their lips, the results are fucking hilarious. For this weeks juicy porn scene we got a really good one. While waiting at the greyhound station for one of out buddies we met up with two smoking hot babes with one big problem. One of them got their bags lost and is in desperate need of some cash to continue their trip to New York. Lucky for them they met up with us, and after a little persuasion they agreed to come back to our place for the chance to make some cold hard cash. Let just say they made enough money to travel to New York and back while sipping champagne in first class. Dont miss a minute because this update is action packed.

Martin's walk-off walk caps extra-inning battle
PITTSBURGH -- The Ballad of Jason Grilli continued as a blues dirge at PNC Park on Thursday, when the Pirates at least survived to change the ultimate tune.
Three innings after Grilli surrendered a game-tying ninth-inning homer, Russell Martin walked with two outs and the bases loaded to give the Bucs a 4-3 win over the Reds.View Full Game Coverage
PITTSBURGH -- The Ballad of Jason Grilli continued as a blues dirge at PNC Park on Thursday, when the Pirates at least survived to change the ultimate tune.
Three innings after Grilli surrendered a game-tying ninth-inning homer, Russell Martin walked with two outs and the bases loaded to give the Bucs a 4-3 win over the Reds.View Full Game Coverage
The walk from lefty Tony Cingrani on a 3-1 pitch forced home Gaby Sanchez, whose one-out single was the inning's only hit. The Pirates loaded the bases as Josh Harrison was given an intentional walk and Clint Barmes was hit by a pitch.
Cingrani did not feel his ultimate pitch was a ball. Frankly, neither did Martin.
"I think we got a fortunate call on that 3-1 pitch, but it's nice to have a call go our way once," said Martin, who did not start, but entered the game defensively in the 10th inning.
The nicest thing about it was bringing an end to the Pirates' three-game losing streak -- and four straight losses in one-run games -- which was a soothing balm after another blown Grilli save.
Devin Mesoraco had stunned Grilli with his homer with one out in the ninth inning, adding the Pirates closer to those skeptical about lightning never striking the same place twice ... or four times.
Mesoraco is from Punxsutawney, and Grilli feels trapped in his personal Groundhog Day. He has given up four homers this season, in sets of two in the same series: to Ryan Braun in back-to-back April games, and now to two Reds in three days, Todd Frazier's Tuesday game-winner having preceded Mesoraco's blow.
"[Another] hanging slider that stayed up and stayed in the middle," said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle, who, for the first time, hinted that a change of closers will at least be considered. "We always huddle up after games. The coaches are involved, [general manager Neal Huntington] ... and we'll make a decision."
For the third time in four starts, Jeff Locke had departed with a lead, and he remains winless. The fourth was a 1-0 loss to Milwaukee.
Locke held the Reds to three hits and a pair of sacrifice flies, walking one and fanning two in six innings, then was given the hook by a 35-minute rain delay in the bottom of the sixth. Tony Watson and Mark Melancon followed by putting up a zero each. Grilli, however, couldn't put the final nail into what would've been the Locke's first win since Sept. 12, 2013.
The early hitting highlight was Pittsburgh's man of the moment, Gregory Polanco. In addition to stretching his record-setting hitting streak to nine games, Polanco was the centerpiece as the Pirates rallied to a 3-2 lead with three runs in the fifth.
Polanco got the Pirates' first hit off Homer Bailey -- a single in the fourth -- and his infield single furthered that fifth-inning rally. The hits represented Polanco's fifth multihit effort in those nine games.
Polanco is the first Pirates rookie in club history to open his career with a nine-game hitting streak, and he shows no signs of slowing down -- a very apt portrayal, considering his speed on the basepaths.
Polanco already owned the distinction of being the first to get a hit in each of his first eight games -- Roberto Clemente and Zip Collins had shared the old club record of seven -- but Spencer Adams also began his career with an eight-game hitting streak in 1923, albeit wrapped around four other games in which he did not bat. Polanco's nine-game overture now stands apart.
"I didn't even know about that," Polanco smiled. "So I'm very proud of myself. I know [Clemente] is someone very special for the city and for the Pirates. What I'm doing now, it's how I always try to play."
"It's special," Hurdle said of Polanco's feat. "It just gives you goosebumps when you hear, 'Not since Clemente.' Somebody drops that on you, it gets your attention."
There was plenty of two-out lightning, both celestial and earthy. The downpour that delayed the game came with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth -- an inning after the Bucs had balked at the possibility of a fourth straight loss by scoring three runs with two outs.
They trailed, 2-0, and had runners at the corners with two outs when Bailey held onto the ball at the end of his windup. The balk scored one run and led to two others, on RBI singles by Starling Marte -- extending his own hitting streak to 10 games -- and by Andrew McCutchen.
Barmes had four of the Pirates' 12 hits, his eighth career four-hit game, and first since May 30, 2009, with the Rockies.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 126 diseños de 52 diseñadores freelance.
Principal Computers "Corporate"
Our business is Principal Computers http://www.principalcomputers.com.au
We are a computer business with 4 branches, and we mainly sell and repair computers (primarily in the home market). Now we are looking to grow the business IT support side of our business. We are going to setup a new website to do this (which we will get done later on 99designs) but first we need a logo and colour scheme.
We are targeting the small to medium business market as well as the government market. Our audience is mainly business owners and operators or people in a position to make decisions about their IT support.
The type of support we will be doing for businesses is networking, setting up servers, desktop support, phone support, helpdesk support.
What we need is a new logo. I will upload our existing logo, and you can also check out our existing website to see how our existing business looks. The design that we are looking for may tie in with the existing logo or it may be done completely different. We are looking for a new identity for the corporate side of our business so we want to create a new look with a new logo or modifications to our existing logo.
We will be calling the new arm to the business "Principal Computers Corporate" Principal Computers and Corporate don't have to be on the same line or the same size, you can use your own creativity to make it look good.
Once we have the corporate logo designed we will be asking for a web site to be done.
Be as creative as you like

What's in store for 2013? More data, for sure. Accountable social media, certainly. Programmatic efficiency-biased automated schedules, of course. A new single from Psy, here's hoping. But among all the speculation, here's a cast-iron, rock-solid, guaranteed prediction: that we have no idea what the biggest surprise, change or shock to the system will be in 2013.
How do we and our clients grow when what we know for certain is how little we can be certain of? Well, perhaps the world doesn't need another buzzword, but "antifragile" may have something to it.
It's the title of The Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb's new book. Its hypothesis? That there are certain types of systems and organisations that, rather than becoming damaged by shock and unpredicted change, are actually improved by them; they thrive from disruption.
It starts by asking a superficially simple question: what's the opposite of fragile? You may say "strong", but Taleb takes a different point of view. You take a cup and drop it and it breaks – it's fragile; the mighty Brooklyn Bridge may be able to endure the most extreme weather, it's robust and strong, but what it doesn't do is become a better bridge because of the experience – it's not "antifragile".
This got me thinking: how antifragile are we as an industry? How good are we at adapting? We're in sector that's increasingly complex and Taleb would suggest that the more complicated the system, the more likely it is to experience unpredictable change.
Overall, I'd say the answer is pretty good. Few businesses have experienced the level of change that most agencies have undergone over the past five years and, as an industry, I would suggest that we are one of the most antifragile in the world. We have an entrepreneurial drive that thrives on change (often the more dramatic, the better) and an unremitting predisposition towards optimism. Given the accelerating rate of change in the media environment, this ability to adapt, and adapt at speed, is and will be more important than the ability to predict.
We're building antifragile businesses and creating antifragile campaigns – work that gets better the more it's messed with. While Old Spice Man set a standard, there are plenty of campaigns that are reacting to the ebb, the flow and 180-degree shifts in public opinion, using the seismic shifts to gain the initiative.
All good stuff, and while we've grown businesses that can benefit from the new, let's not lose sight of the fundamentals: creating work that is as rooted in the brands it serves as much as it is in the platforms it uses.
2013: bring us your epic surprises and brilliant shocks. They keep us vital, they drive change, they make us better.
Steve Hatch is the chief executive at MEC

Dewey frequently asked questions
Show all answersHide all answers / Print
General questions
How do I get updates to the DDC 23 and Abridged 14?
At present, the best sources of updates are WebDewey and Abridged WebDewey, which incorporate all changes to the print editions, plus additional index terms and built numbers, and many other enhancements.
Why issue a new edition of the DDC?
No matter how well designed a classification system is, it must be revised constantly to keep up to date. Changes or relocations that are made represent the consensus of interested professionals. The DDC helps libraries cope with these changes by providing a section in each new edition on important areas of revision. It also lists relocations and reductions and comparative and equivalence tables.
May I use the DDC to organize information on my Web site?
The DDC is owned by OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Incorporated ("OCLC"). We do consider licensing arrangements for the DDC database. To request a licensing proposal, please send an e-mail message to email@example.com, describing in detail your proposed use of the DDC.
WebDewey general questions
How often is WebDewey updated?
Dewey Services content is updated regularly. WebDewey is the most up to date, authoritative version of DDC 23. Abridged WebDewey is the most up to date, authoritative version of Abridged Edition 14. Details about the most recent enhancements are posted on the Dewey web site. When logged on to WebDewey, click the "Home" link on the footer and click "Updates" on the left navigation bar.
How do I set up the link-to-OPAC feature in WebDewey?
The following interface enhancement is available in both WebDewey and Abridged WebDewey after the November 2011 release:
- Link to your OPAC - easily send a DDC search from WebDewey (and Abridged WebDewey) to the call number index of your web-based OPAC. For more information about the feature, see the WebDewey/Abridged WebDewey August 2005 Quarterly Update.
What this feature does
Links to your OPAC and sends a DDC number, allowing you to search library catalogs for DDC numbers from within WebDewey (and Abridged WebDewey).
How to set up this feature
While logged on to WebDewey, click the Preferences link to go to the Preferences screen. Note that the Dewey number search for the Library of Congress search is pre-programmed for you.
In the input box, paste or type the URL that's used in your OPAC for a call number search. If you frequently search more than one OPAC, you can store multiple URLs with the OPAC option; the feature routes to the call number index of the OPAC you've selected as your default. Because the URL may be rather long, the text you enter is repeated below the input box so that you can check the accuracy of the URL in its entirety.
Before you save the URL specified in the OPAC URL input box, you can enter a DDC number and test the feature.
Your OPAC must recognize a DDC number within the URL syntax. Example: the OPAC URL for a call number search at Capital University (Columbus, Ohio) is http://charli.capital.edu/search/c. This is the URL you enter if you want the Capital University OPAC to be your default OPAC. To search for the DDC number [DDC#], WebDewey sends: http://charli.capital.edu/search/c[DDC#]. Your system may require more complex syntax. If you need help with setup, contact your system administrator for the URL, index identifier, and syntax required for call number searches in your OPAC.
Turn off or Adjust Popup Blockers
Software that blocks display of popup advertisements from Web sites can interfere with the link to OPAC feature in Dewey Services. OPAC search results appear in a new browser window, which the popup blocker prevents from opening. For best results, turn off popup blocking software, or if you prefer to keep a popup blocker active, configure the software to allow popup windows from the domain oclc.org and from the URL used to link to your local library catalog.
Troubleshooting Pointers
Disclaimer: This information is intended to help you implement a link to your OPAC from WebDewey; however, it's not an exhaustive list.
First things first: Those of you with Innovative Interfaces, Inc. OPACs can probably stop reading now; it's likely your URL syntax is simply your library's domain name, and /search/c placed at the end of the URL. (See the Capital University example in the paragraph above, or see the table below.) Now, that was easy, wasn't it?
If the above paragraph didn't help, don't despair.
- First, go to your OPAC and do a call number search.
- Copy the URL from the result of your search (this URL will be in your browser's address bar). Copy the URL to the input box in the OPAC Options area and look at it carefully--then enter a DDC number (e.g. 641.2) and click Test. (Or see How to set up this feature paragraph above, or the WebDewey/Abridged WebDewey August 2005 Quarterly Update). If your test doesn't work, you'll need to adjust the URL. Below are some pointers on how to adjust the URL.
- When you construct the URL that sends a call number search to your OPAC, remember you can:
- Rearrange the widgets?Broadly speaking, a widget is the data that occurs between ampersands (or slashes). In many cases, you can rearrange the widget (they're often not order specific) to get the result you want. This means that the ampersand can be moved to another part of the URL without causing the search to fail. This guideline will make more sense as you read on.
- Remove the session specific information?Your URL may contain session specific data. You will need to remove this data to prevent a timeout message from your OPAC when you use the link feature in WebDewey. Example: in the following string,
http://nucat.library.northwestern.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search_Arg=332.09you'll want to remove the session specific portion of this URL, or: PID=18046&SEQ=20050725145812
The final correct construction of the URL that sends a Dewey number search to the call number index is,
- Move search arguments to the final position in the URL?We mentioned above that your OPAC must recognize a DDC number within the URL syntax, specifically, at the end of the URL. Example: In the following URL,
http://library.ilcso.illinois.edu/uiu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?&DB=local&BROWSEFWD=1SA (refers to search argument) is placed at the end of the URL. If you find a similar syntax in your URL and it's not at the end of the string, move the ampersand and the identifier to the end of the URL, and test it. Now that you know widgets are generally not order specific, you can piece together your URL by placing (if applicable) the ampersand, index identifier, and search argument to the end of the URL. So don't be shy! Move those widgets around! They won't bite!
&CNT=25+records+per+screen&SID=1&SC=CallNumber&SA= the widget &SA=
- Try a varying widget identifier?If your URL doesn't work correctly, sometimes it helps to try another variant of that identifier.
- Search Argument ( &Search_Arg= vs. &SA=)
Example: in the following Voyager OPAC URL widget, &Search_Arg= (i.e., Search Argument) is substituted for &SA= (i.e., also Search Argument), but only the second variant works. That is,
http://library.ilcso.illinois.edu/uiu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?&DB=local&BROWSEFWD=1does not work, but
&CNT=25+records+per+screen&SID=1&SC=CallNumber&Search_Arg =
http ://library.ilcso.illinois.edu/uiu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?&DB=local&BROWSEFWD=1does.
- Search Argument ( &Search_Arg= vs. &SA=)
The following examples show URLs that work with WebDewey's link to OPAC feature, by OPAC vendor. This list is not exhaustive. If your vendor isn't listed below, it may still work. If your vendor is listed below, but your test doesn't work, it needs adjustment. In this case, talk to your systems administrator.

Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland met the media at the Senior Bowl on Tuesday and made no attempt to cloak his intentions for the offseason.
"We're looking for playmakers on offense. Look, we had two guys with over 60 catches (Brian Hartline and Davone Bess), but we've got to find guys that are scoring touchdowns," Ireland said, via the Palm Beach Post. "This is the year that you got to do something. We're in a very good position to utilize some of our cap space to bring in some veteran players on our football team, and we're in a very good position to bring in some young players from a draft standpoint."
The Dolphins scored 18 points per game in 2012, which ranked 27th in the NFL. It says good things about the defense that the Dolphins were able to win seven games with such limited offensive output, but the Dolphins clearly need to put more points on the board in the future. With five picks in the first three rounds and ample cap space, Ireland was right about the timing being right to make a big move. And he's right to keep open every avenue to making that move.
Before they jump into the offseason fully, the Dolphins have some decisions to make about their own free agents. Ireland wouldn't discuss specifics about Hartline, running back Reggie Bush, cornerback Sean Smith, defensive tackle Randy Starks or the team's other free agents. He did say that the team and tackle Jake Long, another free agent-to-be, would both have to make "a very, very difficult decision" about continuing their relationship beyond this season.

Joe Nichols Parts Ways With His Label, Show Dog-Universal Music
It looks as though Joe Nichols is suddenly without a label home. The singer took to his official Twitter account on Sunday to share that he and Show Dog-Universal Music have parted ways in what seems to be a less-than-amicable split.
"I'd like to thank ShowDog universal for doing the right thing IM FREE!!!!!" Nichols shared enthusiastically.
Nichols first signed to Universal South Records in 1999, releasing his first studio album, 'A Man With a Memory' in 2002. The singer found immediate success with his debut single 'The Impossible,' which ultimately climbed to No. 3. The album's second single, 'Brokenheartsville,' quickly became Nichols' first No. 1 song, propelling the album to reach platinum status.
Nichols scored an additional two chart-toppers under the Universal South label with 'Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off' and 'Gimmie That Girl' before the label merged with Toby Keith's Show Dog Music to form the Show Dog-Universal Music label. The singer's last album, 'It's All Good,' was the first under the new restructure, but failed to measure up to his past commercial success. The project's only single — 'Take It Off' — topped out at No. 25 earlier this year.
Despite the departure, Nichols seems to continue moving forward personally. The singer and his wife welcomed a brand new baby girl, Dylan River, earlier this year. He has been able to remain in control his past struggles, saying, "I live free now. I don't live perfectly, I don't claim that. That's a mistake because I can't promise anything past today."
No word on whether or not Nichols has another label home lined up. According to their official websites, Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Carter's Chord, JT Hodges, Jessie James and Rose Falcon remain signed to Show Dog-Universal Music.

Glass Lewis Recommends Vote "For" Merger with WashingtonFirst
Alliance Bankshares Corporation (NASDAQ: ABVA) announced that Glass Lewis & Co., one of the leading independent U.S. proxy advisory firms, has recommended that the shareholders of Alliance vote "FOR" the proposals in its proxy statement for the special meeting scheduled to be held on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. local time, at the Hyatt Fair Lakes, 12777 Fair Lakes Circle, Fairfax, Virginia.
At the special meeting, Alliance's shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to (i) approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 3, 2012, and related plan of merger, by and between WashingtonFirst Bankshares, Inc., Alliance and Alliance Bank Corporation, as amended, pursuant to which Alliance will merge with and into WashingtonFirst, with WashingtonFirst surviving the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the reorganization agreement, (ii) approve certain compensation that Alliance's named executive officers may receive, under pre-existing agreements, in connection with the merger, and (iii) adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary, to permit the further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to achieve a quorum or approve the reorganization agreement.
All shareholders of Alliance are encouraged to vote. Because approval of the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Alliance's common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, failing to vote or abstaining from voting, either in person or by proxy, will have the same effect as a vote against approval of the merger proposal.

Celebrate 350, Jewish Life in America 1654-2004
Odegaard Undergradute Library and Computing Commons
January 3 - February 28, 2005
first floor north display area
September 2004, marks 350 years from the landing in New Amsterdam (today's New York City) in 1654 of a small group of Jews from Recife, Brazil. Fleeing persecution and seeking refuge, this first boatload was the vanguard of millions of Jews to follow. The story of Jews in America is a unique and noteworthy chapter in Jewish history. It is a grand, gritty, and complex narrative well worth recalling, and the 350th anniversary provides the perfect context for doing so.
For 350 years Jews have been an integral part of American history. For more than 160 years, from early territorial times to now, Jews in Washington have been part of the American Jewish experience.
Celebrate 350, Jewish Life in America 1654-2004 is an exhibit of 15 large commemorative posters celebrating the American Jewish experience that will be on display on the main level of the Odegaard Library, University of Washington. Each of the beautiful posters focuses on a different theme, everything from American Judaism to Sports. Each poster features a series of illustrations and information that expand on one theme, usually with a brief chronology. This exhibit is sponsored by the Washington State Jewish Historical Society: http://www.wsjhs.org/events.htm.
For further information regarding 350 years of Jewish life in America, visit www.celebrate350.org.

Gibbons Returns as Blue Jays Manager
November 20, 2012 5:35 AM
The TORONTO BLUE JAYS have selected JOHN GIBBONS as manager of the team. In doing so he becomes the second person to have two tenures as Blue Jays manager along with Cito Gaston.
GIBBONS, 50, served as Blue Jays manager from August 9, 2004 through to June 20, 2008 posting a record of 305-305 in 610 games and is the 3rd winningest manager in franchise history. The San Antonio, Texas resident most recently managed the San Antonio Missions of the Texas League (AA) in the San Diego Padres organization last season following three seasons as the Kansas City Royals Bench Coach.
A first round pick and the 24th overall selection in the June 1980 draft, GIBBONS spent 11 years playing professional baseball (1980-90), including parts of three seasons as a catcher with the Mets. In 18 games at the Major League level, he batted .220 with one home run and two RBI. In the minors, he posted a career .254 average, with 107 home runs and 514 RBI in 1,178 games.
GIBBONS first joined the Blue Jays coaching staff in 2002 as a bullpen catcher, being promoted midseason to first base coach. He served in that capacity until replacing Carlos Tosca in August of 2004. Prior to joining the Blue Jays, John spent 11 seasons working in the Mets organization, including winning two championships and earning three Manager of the Year awards.

Q I read your column regarding plans to put a roundabout at Pacific and Beach streets in Santa Cruz, and I'm not for it. There is another roundabout a couple hundred yards away at Pacific and Center streets and I've had to wait quite a while to enter the roundabout from Center because there's a steady stream of cars that flow from Pacific, all nose to tail, and they don't let anyone else merge. There has to be a better solution.
Winston Chavoor
Santa Cruz
A This a horrendous intersection but most studies indicate that roundabouts can be a significant safety upgrade. They do take some getting used to — including by driverless cars. Google reported that one of its vehicles went round and round about a half-dozen times as it tried negotiating a roundabout off Interstate 80 near Reno.
Q The crosswalks along El Camino Real in Millbrae are very unsafe due to the fact that they don't have traffic signals at certain crosswalks. Can Caltrans install flashing lights at these crosswalks when pedestrians are crossing so drivers can get a heads up that someone is crossing El Camino?
Tom Martella
A Your wish will be granted. The state will install rapid-flashing beacons at several intersections in Millbrae and elsewhere on El Camino.
El Camino is considered the most dangerous street for pedestrians in the Bay Area, according to a review of traffic fatalities by the Center for Investigative Reporting a year ago. Of the 59 people killed in traffic collisions on this street between 2002 and 2011, 37 — about two-thirds — were pedestrians. By comparison, 22 percent of the 2,791 people killed in car crashes statewide in 2011 were pedestrians. Beacons will be installed at La Cruz, Taylor Boulevard, Ludeman Lane, Park Boulevard and San Diego Avenue. Work will begin in late 2016.
Q Every day I drive from the Highway 92 interchange on Interstate 280 to 19th Avenue in the city. This drive has more than 30 potholes in the fast lane and next lane bigger than 1 foot in size. When will Caltrans do pothole maintenance on 280?
Mark Johnson
A Temporary repairs were made Monday; permanent repairs are coming in a few weeks.
Q The bridges on Central Expressway over Lawrence and San Tomas have large potholes between the road and the bridges. Any chance these problems will be fixed in the near future? I'm afraid I might blow a tire one day.
Don Bentley
A Yep, and soon. Temporary repairs are being made and next month more permanent patchwork will be completed.
Q I have always driven with my doors unlocked, thinking that in an emergency it would be easier for a rescuer to get access. But I recently bought a Ford C-Max hybrid (which can run circles around the Prius; take a test drive!) and the doors lock automatically. I can override that, but is there research that indicates which option is safer?
Laurie Turner
A Police and safety advocates both say locking your doors is much safer. Rescuers can always break a window to get inside.
