text: The Yreka Miners varsity baseball team booked a return trip to the Northern Section Division 2 title game on Tuesday. Yreka, the No. 3 seed, took care of business in the semifinals by downing No. 2 seed Lassen 6-0 in Susanville. Lassen, the champions of the Northern Athletic League, had no answer for fellow NAL member Yreka, which won the NAL crown last season. Now, the Miners are set to face top seed Sutter in the NSCIF Division 2 title game on Saturday.The contest begins at 4 p.m. at Butte College in Oroville. Junior pitcher Tevin Cadola was lights out for the Miners, as he did not allow a run in a complete game performance. Cadola gave up only four hits and three walks and had six strikeouts in the victory. "He had command of his curveball," head coach Jason Freitas said. "He had them off balance." Yreka improved to 18-13-2 overall while Lassen ended the year at 22-7. The Grizzlies won two doubleheader games in Susanville and Yreka won a game at home during the regular season. Freitas was pleased with the way the Miners hit off Grizzlies ace Joey Beck, who came into the game with only one loss after pitching on Friday in a 6-4 first round win versus Anderson. Freitas was happy with with how patient the Miner hitters were in finding the right pitch to hit as Beck threw 65 pitches in three innings. "We had great at bats," Freitas said. The Miners scored two runs in the second inning. First, Matt Jespersen scored on a passed ball, with Evan Bosinger scoring the second run. In the third, Yreka continued to get on base, including a single by Christian Charles, who eventually stole second and scored a run. In that inning, Gabe Durney and Cody Hoff also scored a run. In the fourth inning, Cade Parker scored the Miners sixth and final run of the game. Besides strong hitting and pitching, the Miners also played well on defense, Freitas said, with only one error committed for the game. Yreka defeated Central Valley 12-2 at home in five innings on Friday to earn a trip to the semifinals. The Sutter Huskies downed Wheatland 3-1 on Tuesday to improve to 28-3 overall and earn another section title berth. Pitcher Brad Bonnenfant threw a no-hitter for the Huskies. Last season, Yreka downed Lassen 3-2 in the section semifinals to earn a berth in the title game, Last year, Sutter downed Yreka for the section title in Division 2, 5-0. In an interesting side note, Shasta of Redding, who the Miners defeated twice this season, upset topped seeded Foothill on Tuesday and are moving on to the NSCIF Divison 1 title game against Red Bluff on Saturday.

Iowan who made bomb threats in Nebraska sentenced
Iowan who made bomb threats in Nebraska sentenced
LINCOLN, Neb. —
An Iowa man who mailed bomb threats to the FBI office in Omaha has been sentenced to time served.
Thirty-year-old Matthew Fell, of Waterloo, Iowa, was sentenced on Wednesday in Lincoln by Senior U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf. Fell had pleaded guilty to making a false threat. Fell has been behind bars for 15 months while awaiting final disposition of his case.
Court documents say postal workers at a Lincoln post office found an envelope in June 2012 that had "This is a Bomb!" written on it. There was no bomb in the envelope, but it did contain another envelope that was addressed to the FBI in Omaha. That envelope contained a piece of paper and a thumb drive. Omaha postal workers found a similar envelope a week later.

Jens Franke combines street photography with portraiture to capture images that are both intimate and mysterious. He is a professional designer and photographer from Stuttgart. His passion for photography started during his exchange semester in Rio de Janeiro. He was so impressed about the versatility and tensions between the different population groups living together in one mega city.
To share his impressions he started a blog where he posted his personal view on the city. Back in Germany, his aroused wanderlust took him to exciting destinations in Columbia, Morocco, Europe and the US.
Capturing fleeting emotional moments of people, whether of happiness, sadness, joy, anxiety or loneliness became his goal of each journey.
With all the possible exotic places in mind, and having grown up in the Bavarian Alps, I thought Stuttgart (Germany) would be quite a boring place to live when I was here for the first months. To keep myself entertained I started to watch out for the subtle adventures of every day life. My camera got the main pretense for my everyday strolls through the little neighborhoods here. It worked out for me! I sensitised my view and step by step I got used to the rhythm of the city.
While I started photographing the people in the streets of Stuttgart, I got more and more interested in individual portraiture and the story behind the people. In my last Exhibition "Little Districts", I combined street photography and portraiture to enable my visitors to see my city from both an intimate and a mysterious perspective at the same time.
I really like the unobtrusiveness of the FUJIFILM X System. With my blacktaped X-E1 I got barely noticed on the street and my whole equipment fits in a small camera bag. Since Street Photography is often a matter of performance I also like the intuitive controls and the customizable function keys. I made my X-E1 behaving like the Contax G2 which handling i loved. I set the focus via thumb and set the lightning via pressing the shutter halfway down. For a better handling i use the additional and pretty ergonomically handgrip.

I just happened to come to your page after reading comments from Alpine Elementary school. The comments were posted on Facebook and the comment that caught my attention was about growth and change. My grandparents are Chester E. Brown and Coyla K. Brown, my father is Franklin K. Brown. I saw the article about Carmen Bailey and it flooded my memory and soul with the joys of growing up in Alpine. I remember Bailey's Cafe, the Log Cabin, Empire Market the grocery store with the post office... McGuffie's Fountain and the long lost dinosaur park. Please forward this along to Carmen. Carmen you are as beautiful as I remember you. Thanks for the wonderful stroll down memory lane..... I would live there if I could. Ha ha ha. Feel free to contact the Brown Family anytime. email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com (636)887-2454.

Marianna Marysheva-Martinez
We learned this past week that Assistant Town Manager Marianna Marysheva-Marysheva-Matinez is a finalist for the City Manager job in Yakima, Wash.
But who could blame her? If there's somewhere with a massive financial problem, or even one that needs a little housecleaning, Marysheva-Martinez licks her chops and goes to work.
This is a professional fixer with the ability to control her mind rather letting it control her. She's a woman with a plan. She's calm in terrifying situations.
No place we know of has been more terrifying than Mammoth recently.
When she arrived as interim town manager, Town Hall's finances were in somewhat of a mess, and that's a charitable characterization.
It wasn't just the layoffs. That was bad enough.
But as important, she encountered a town government whose finances were all over the place, the result of years of largesse. It was as if the money seemed to roll in the door, as if in a wave.
"If we had a project, we'd just reach into the bucket and pull the money out," one town department manager said the other day.
In the end, the bookkeeping was so far out of whack that nobody knew how to fix it when times got tough.
That's when Marysheva-Martinez walked through the door, fresh from financial battles in one of the most battle-weary cities in the state: Oakland.
Soon after she arrived, she called on each department manager, and it was tough.
One of them came stumbling out the door and into the parking lot in those first days and said, "I feel like I just got beat up."
Yet she put Mammoth's financial house in order, just in time to handle a serious budget shortfall for this year and next. She also has been the town's point person on how to handle the MLLA $42 million judgment that is about to land in our laps.
Not once did she sugarcoat anything. As painful as this has been, Marysheva-Martinez has been a straight shooter, as town Manager Dave Wilbert knows.
He is among many who have their fingers crossed that the Yakima job will fall through.
"There's a lot of work that is in progress now," he said after a Town Council meeting on Wednesday, and there will still be a lot of work to do with the budget and through the mediation and through the lawsuit, so it's my hope she can stay and work with us for another year."
Over here at the paper, we're down with Dave on this one.
He expressed her strength better than we could, so here it is:
"Along with her financial background and her educational background she also has a capacity to handle a large quantity of work simultaneously, all while balancing the other priorities in her life.
"We're not quite done with her."

Declassified is brief, boring, and bland. It should have stayed locked up in the filing cabinet.
Haha, love the headline. Too bad about the game though. Sounds like another rushed job.
It was done in 5 months, so... Yeah. It was rushed.
Why are we surprised?
well, FPS was supposed to set the Vita apart.
But, just like the PSP before it, the hardware never reached its full potential, due to lack of developer support. How sad.
I'm very curious about your definition of reaching full potential. 60 million + bought a PSP because it was lacking games?
I bet most of those PSPs were bought to watch UMD movies and run homebrew. Lol.
I guess atleast it still has killzone and maybe the psp downloadable ones which work decently with the second stick, but still ti's disappointing.
Plus killzone is being made full blown by guerrilla games so I have no doubt that it will give vita the aaa fps that its been looking for.
Yep, great headline!
Awesome headline. And ouch!
I played it and its ok. The mp is ok also I'm not saying its good but there is worse out there
The game is quite OK. Looks good and controls are spot on. What I miss would be a deeper campaign (but why do we need that...you run, you shoot, you die, you do it again...put it into different cloths but it'll still be the same game...and that works). What doesn't work is the no-check point design. What's that for? MP is good, too. I wish more than 4 players would work (or maybe it does but they didn't add it??). Other than that, it's not a bad game. Quick getting in and out like for a handheld. Quite OK IMO.

The Titanium Cook'n Save Cook Set by Snow Peak. The Trek 700 is a unique and innovative design. Simple from the outside, this cookset is designed to fit a stove, 2 fuel canisters and a spork. At Snow Peak, we believe that it's not enough to just be small and lightweight. The Trek 700 wastes no space. Many other functions such as the pouring spout and locking lid sets this cookset apart from any other.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

IT Management Slideshow: IT Jobs: Is Employee Confidence Declining?
You may be anticipating the need to ramp-up your IT employee recruitment and retention efforts in light of an expected and sustained economic recovery. After all, when prospects for tech jobs improve, employees naturally want to check out their worth on the free market. The Great Recession has kept many workers from pursuing new opportunities in part because the opportunities simply weren't there. That said, all economic turnarounds have their ups and downs, and a recent survey from Technisource indicates that confidence levels among technology professionals are experiencing a bit of a setback. For example, fewer tech professionals polled in Q1 2011 said they felt optimistic that the economy is improving compared with Q4 2010. Significantly more respondents in Q1 2011 said they expected to lose their jobs within the year, compared with those who had the same expectation in Q4 2010. On the optimistic side, these workers do feel that there are more tech job opportunities available than there were in 2010. So don't entirely ditch those recruitment and retention plans. "Employers really need to evaluate how committed their top talent is to their organization, and if they are equipping them with some of the things they value to keep them around," says Michael Winwood, president of Technisource. "Talent will be a key differentiator as the economy recovers, as companies continue with plans for new technology implementations, software migrations and other long-overdue projects throughout the year." The report also sheds light on workplace differences among generations and genders on these topics. Some 205 IT professionals responded to the survey.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The sixth-grade class at St. Paul's Lutheran School in Waverly, Iowa, sent a message this week that was heard in the White House briefing room.
"The White House is our house," the class said in a video posted on Facebook. "Please let us visit."
But their trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which had been set for March 16, is off. White House tours will be suspended starting on Saturday due to mandated across-the-board spending cuts known as "sequestration." The move will save the federal government an estimated $74,000 a week.
Many were left holding worthless tour tickets, secured months in advance through members of Congress. There is no rain check for a White House tour.
The children's video caught the attention of White House reporters, and of the top Republican in Congress.
"What is your answer, or the president's answer, to the sixth-graders at St. Paul's Lutheran School?" one reporter asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
"It is extremely unfortunate that we have a situation like the sequester that compels the kinds of tradeoffs and decisions that this represents," said Carney.
He said the Secret Service, which is involved in the tours, offered various options to deal with sequester-related cuts ranging from canceling tours to furloughs and cuts in overtime.
"And in order to allow the Secret Service to best fulfill its core missions, the White House made the decision that we would, unfortunately, have to temporarily suspend these tours," Carney said.
When another White House spokesman was asked whether private donations might put the tours back on track, he said that step might be unfeasible given the technical requirements of the sequester.
The last time the White House closed its doors to school groups was after the September 11, 2001, attacks. The tours resumed the following February, with a suspension in the spring of 2003 during the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
The general public was not allowed back into the White House until September 2003.
The decision found little favor with supporters of St. Paul's sixth-graders, who asked Facebook viewers to "like" their video to agitate for putting the tour back on their Washington itinerary.
By late Friday, nearly 1,000 had "liked" the post, nearly 500 had shared it and more than 100 had commented.
House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner boasted that tours of the Capitol would continue.
"Even though our budget's been cut like everyone else's, thanks to proper planning, we're able to avoid furloughs amongst Capitol workers, and tours are going to remain available for all Americans," Boehner told reporters on Thursday.
He called the White House decision "disappointing" and "silly," the result of a failure to find savings in other parts of the budget.
Benno Nelson, a Los Angeles-based film director and self-described "civic nerd" who is planning a family trip to Washington in May, had a one-word response when told of the tour cancellations: "Nooooo!"
"Definitely to get a tour of the White House is something I was really looking forward to, and I planned it in advance and called my congressman. ... To hear that they're not doing that is a little bit heartbreaking," he said.
The recorded White House message for those looking for tour information is as contrite as a recorded message can get:
"Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013, until further notice. Unfortunately we will not be able to reschedule affected tours. We very much regret having to take this action, particularly during the popular spring touring season."

With an almost comical geographical shape and virtually every climate imaginable, this beautiful, memorable corner of the world is a place of extremes and contradictions. Few countries have quite such a split geographical personality. Here, you can often glimpse the snows of the high Andes from the Pacific Ocean, ski in the mountains in the morning and be drinking pisco sours on the beach come sundown.
The north is generally drier. Much of it is desert excepting the occasional oasis and the verdant altiplano, and there are often large distances between places of interest. Highlights include the peaceful Elqui valley, whose green vine-laden floor contrasts with the stark metallic colours of its mineral stained mountains and where the milky way traces a path through a night sky filled with a billion stars. Further north is the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama, surrounded by archaeological sites and awesome natural phenomena. At the northern tip of Chile the desert rises up to meet the lush green of the altiplano, home to a dozen volcanoes and a wide variety of wildlife.
The central valley is the heart of the country and is where most Chileans live. The capital, Santiago, is a good base for many of the country's best ski resorts, while Valparaiso, the so called pearl of the pacific, is a unique multicoloured amphitheatre of a city with an artistic, bohemian atmosphere unlike anything else in Chile. Beach lovers can head to the nearby resort of Vina del mar or to any number of quiet fishing villages.
Southern Chile is dominated by lush green forests rising up from fractured fjords through fast-flowing rivers and waterfalls, past pristine lakes and smoking snow-capped volcanoes overlooked by the majestic mountain range to the east. In the Lake District there are many day-long activities in the nearby lakes, rivers, forests and mountains.
For a taste of the real Patagonia head south to the Carretera Austral. The Parque Pumalin is an incredible conservation project with a diverse ecosystem and excellent trails to explore. Towards the Argentinian border, Futaleufu has the best whitewater rafting in the Southern Hemisphere, while further south, the azure waters of Lago General Carrera turn an even more unreal blue as they flow into the broad Rio Baker that winds westwards, splitting Patagonia's two enormous ice-fields. South of the ice-fields is Torres del Paine, whose glaciers and granite towers are the jewel in the crown of Chilean Patagonia.

The Super Bowl could have been more super
The time has finally come — the day men all over the country long for all year long. That's right, this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday, the one day a year when most men's wives don't complain because they are watching football.
This Sunday, millions of people all over the country will gather in front of their television sets to watch the New Orleans Saints get annihilated, in their first-ever Super Bowl, by the Indianapolis Peyton Mannings.
But does anyone really care? I know I don't. This year's Super Bowl will be the most disappointing one I have ever watched. I know this already, well before the coin toss. Before the hot dogs have warmed up at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
No, it's not because CBS and the NFL have put together another boring half-time show as continued punishment for the stunt that Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson pulled several years prior. Not that I have anything against The Who — I'm sure they'll be great. Except that it will likely take them the entire halftime just to get to center stage, what with their walkers and all.
I'm disappointed this year because for the first time in my entire life, I almost had a team play in the Super Bowl that I actually cared about. That was, until the last minute of regulation when Brett Favre threw his possibly career-ending interception, sending the game into overtime, and basically giving the Saints their first Super Bowl berth in a gift-wrapped basket.
As I've written recently, I never cared about football. The only game I ever watched was the Super Bowl. And I did that mostly for the same reason 95 percent of the country does — the commercials.
But this past year, I spent some time covering some high school football events for the newspaper — one of which was the state semifinal game that Ogemaw Heights High School played in this past year. Somewhere during the high school season, much to the chagrin of my wife, I began to enjoy the game of football.
Then, one Sunday while at my in-laws' house, I found myself watching an NFL game. The Vikings were playing, and while I'm not proud of this fact, I originally became interested because I liked the color of their jerseys.
I know, this is not generally a reason that most guys would pick their favorite sports team. But you have to admit, if you're going to cheer for a team, you're probably going to wear their merchandise. And you're not going to want to wear a jersey if you think it looks stupid.
As I began watching the game more closely, I discovered that Brett Favre was on the team. It wasn't hard to make this discovery, as the television announcers tend to use his name every three or four words, even if it doesn't make sense. I think they are afraid that football fans will suddenly forget he is on the team, and change the channel, if they don't constantly remind you that he's one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
Now, I've never been able to be a Favre fan, because while I never was a football fan, I am loyal to my local team. And you couldn't be a Lions fan and like anybody who played with the Green Bay Packers.
But since he's moved on to better things, and even though I've made fun of him a lot over the years, I kind of like the guy.
How could you not, after the performance he put in two weeks ago? This guy's an old man in football terms, and he took hit after hit — each time getting up and coming back for more.
I have never watched a game that closely before. I've never enjoyed a football game that much. My favorite team was going to make it to the Super Bowl — something Michigan fans have never been able to say unless they cheer for a team other than the Detroit Lions.
Then he threw that interception, and it all ended. My dreams died right there on that field in New Orleans, right there with the dreams of Brett Favre. My team wasn't going to the Super Bowl. I would have no vested interest in the game, and just like every year, I was going to be watching the commercials more closely than the game.
Darn you, Brett Favre, for getting my hopes up like you did.
I'm sure it was pretty tough for him too, but I don't feel that bad for his situation. He still gets paid millions of dollars, regardless of the outcome.
Not me.
Maybe he could send a few bucks my direction, for being such a faithful fan.

Nice article! The Saints have been the underdog all year and keep coming back. The Colts are overconfident. I am rooting for the underdog team-the Saints-the stadium that saved a city and the team that brought the city back from the bottom to the top of the NFC! Go Saints!

General Comments: Futures were mostly a little lower after trading both sides of unchanged. Charts still show that all three markets are in short term up trends. Current crop development is good this year in Brazil, and production areas are getting beneficial rain for the developing crop. Central America crops are getting harvested, and conditions are called good there. There are widespread reports of rust on the trees and leaves, and Roya has become a big issue as well. It is possible that many Central America and Mexico producers will harvest much less Coffee next year if they are affected by this disease, and many seem to be affected. Costa Rica says the country could lose up to 30% of the crop, and Mexico expects to see a significant impact. Crops in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador have also been affected, but so far crops in Nicaragua seem to show less damage. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.601 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 137.58 ct/lb. Brazil should get scattered showers and storms through the weekend. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get mostly dry conditions, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions, but a few showers are possible in central and eastern Mexico. Temperatures should average near to above normal. GCA stocks were 4.735 million bags at the end of December, from 4.902 million at the end of November.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to up with objectives of 158.00, 160.00, and 170.00 March. Support is at 149.00, 146.00, and 143.00 March, and resistance is at 157.00, 160.00, and 162.00 March. Trends in London are up with objectives of 2100 and 2290 March. Support is at 1945, 1930, and 1910 March, and resistance is at 1980, 1990, and 2000 March. Trends in Sao Paulo are up with objectives of 199.00 March. Support is at 187.00, 184.50, and 183.50 March, and resistance is at 193.50, 195.00, and 196.00 March.
General Comments: Futures closed lower on follow through selling tied to reports of beneficial rains in Brazil and on no real demand news. The market found support despite news from Brazil of increased production. Production has been strong in Brazil so far this year, but the areas with the best weather have been in the Center-South region. The rains are also now in the north where conditions had been too dry. Futures are in a trading range, but trends are turning down. News of any kind remains hard for the traders to find. There was no demand news to support values. Big Brazil production remains negative to prices, and traders know that Indian and Thai production is in the market, too. The Thai crushing season is underway with good production expected, but the crushing pace remains slow. Traders wonder if and when India will cut offers to the market due to the lower prices and perhaps less than expected production due to some dry weather at the beginning of the growing season. Brazil production continues strong.
Overnight News: Scattered and light showers are expected in Brazil through the weekend. Temperatures should be near to above normal
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 1850, 1830, and 1800 March, and resistance is at 1900, 1925, and 1945 March. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 500.00, 495.00, and 490.00 March, and resistance is at 510.00, 515.00, and 520.00 March.
General Comments: Futures closed a little higher again in consolidation trading. The EU grind data was negative, but a bad number had been expected so the down reaction was not as big as it might have been. The US data will be released later this week. Good arrivals in Africa are negative and are continuing. Ivory Coast arrivals are strong, and the trend for strong arrivals from there should continue. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable. Overall weather patterns in West Africa production areas are good for harvest progress. Demand is reported weaker from the US and Europe, in part due to current economics and in part due to changes forced by the World Bank that encouraged forward marketing of the crops. The market needs some demand news or some other news to shake it out of the sideways to lower trade, but the EU and Ivory Coast data implies that a lower trade can continue.
Overnight News: Mostly dry conditions are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of scattered showers. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get dry conditions and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 3.853 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 2230, 2205, and 2195 March, with resistance at 2295, 2325, and 2355 March. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 1490 and 1535 March. Support is at 1430, 1410, and 1405 March, with resistance at 1465, 1490, and 1510 March.

Z39.50 Server
The OCLC server implements Z39.50-1995 (version 3 of the protocol).
The server provides access to all the databases available through the new FirstSearch service. We maintain both a production and a test server for external access. The test server provides access to databases for testing purposes. Authentication of authorization and password is required for access to the test server. The production server provides access to all the databases available and requires a valid FirstSearch authorization.
Please do any configuration and client testing on our test server. If you have questions, please contact OCLC Support with any questions or comments about FirstSearch.

Currently, the generic sortElement is supported.
Value Description 10 USMARC 101 SUTRS 109 XML
Full views include all the data from the record. Brief views generally include just author, title, and date. If no Element Set Name is supplied, OCLC defaults to Full.
Value Description F Full record display B Brief record display FA Full with All Holdings (supported with SUTRS only; used to display the full record with all holdings attached to item) FI Full record display with No Holdings T Full text (Available for the CWI database using syntax SUTRS only; used to display full-text of this database when the 949/z is present in the MARC record or when ACCESS is displayed in the SUTRS record)) UB Union Lists Brief (supported with MARC only; used to display brief bib data and MFHD local data if available)
Note: A few records may contain large amounts of holdings, while most contain medium to small amounts. Test your system's performance with holdings using the following WorldCat records:
- large--1564932
- medium--235191
- small--29323884
Holdings available in a variety of ways:
- Country, location, institution name and symbol information available in Full SUTRS, Full All Holdings SUTRS, Union Lists Brief MARC and Full MARC.
- In Full MARC, holdings details are broken out into fields/subfields in the following manner:
A new 948 tag will appear with each new country and/or state/province.
- Subfield a will contain the ISO country code.
- Subfield b will contain the US state and Canadian province information. For all other countries the code in this field is not meaningful, and only subfield a country code is useful.
- Subfield c will contain the OCLC symbol.
- A new subfield d will contain the library name.
- In Union Lists Brief MARC, holdings details are broken out into fields/subfields in the following manner:
A new 948 tag will appear with each new country and state or province combination 948/ab) and a new 948 tag will appear for each institution within that area (948/cde).
- Subfield a will the ISO country code.
- Subfield b will contain the US state and Canadian province information. For all other countries the code in this field is not meaningful, and only subfield a country code is useful.
- Subfield c will contain the OCLC symbol.
- Subfield d will contain the library name.
- Subfield e will contain local holdings details (when available).
- In Full (F) SUTRS, holdings and local holdings data are prefaced with the label "Libraries". A tabular format is used to delineate pieces of data. The FirstSearch authorizations holdings default setting is used to determine how many states/provinces holdings are displayed.
- In Full All (FA) SUTRS, holdings and local holdings data are prefaced with the label "Libraries". A tabular format is used to delineate pieces of data. All the holdings for that record are displayed, even if the FirstSearch administration web site has the authorization number set to not display all holdings.
Note: The codes used in display are described in the following websites:
- The ISO country codes are listed here: < https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/ >
- The 59 U.S. states and possessions use the U.S. Postal abbreviations listed here: < http://pe.usps.gov/text/pub28/28apb.htm >
- The Canadian provinces use the Canadian Postal abbreviations listed here: < http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/PGaddress-e.asp#1380608 >
How Full-Text Is Available
OCLC created URLs contained in 856/u fields in full MARC syntax and under the label ACCESS in full SUTRS syntax will now allow internet-based access to all full text available in virtually all applicable FirstSearch databases. These URLs can be cut and pasted, or programmatically entered, into any browser supported by FirstSearch in order to gain access to the full text. Regular full text billing charges apply to this access each time the URL is used; the URLs will time out after 7 days so if continued access is desired another search to receive an updated URL will need to be executed. The 856/i field is the indicator for full text access via this method; because 856/u fields can also indicate a link to a web site that is not necessarily full text, the 856/i should be checked to be certain the 856/u link is truly a FirstSearch full text link. The 856/i field contains instructions regarding the URL and information on whether the full text is ASCII or PDF.
Note: If Z39.50 local holdings information is configured in the FirstSearch administrative module on your authorization, 856/u links to local holdings will appear in your records. Details on how to configure access to Z39.50 catalog in order to provide local holdings can be found in the Administrative Module Reference Guide.
- Two databases have a different method for providing full text.
- CWI. For the CWI database, full-text is available using element set name T and syntax SUTRS, however this full-text display will only work with records that contains full-text. The records with full-text display the information under the label ACCESS in the full SUTRS display. In full MARC displays, if a 949/z exists full-text is available. Records without the SUTRS label ACCESS or the MARC subfield 949/z do not have full-text. Those records will cause an error if element set name T is used to try to display the record.
- PsycBOOKS. For the PsycBooks database, URLs to PDF files are provided for chapters of the book. The URLs are found in the SUTRS display with the label TOC. After the main label TOC, each chapter gives the information of that chapter and then the label Full text: followed by the URL for that chapter. In MARC displays, the information is found in each 505 field with the URL found in the 505/9 subfield.
The OCLC server supports many different USE attributes. Please refer to FirstSearch Databases Available from OCLC's Z39.50 Server for a detailed list of attributes defined for each database.
The OCLC server supports the following Relation attributes. If no attribute value is sent, our implementation performs the search as if the value Equal (3) were sent.
Value Description 1 Less than (as of 12/16/2001)
2 Less than or equal to (as of 12/16/2001)
3 Equal
4 Greater or equal (as of 12/16/2001)
5 Greater than (as of 12/16/2001)
The OCLC server supports the following position attributes. If no attribute value is sent, our implementation performs the search as if the value is Any.
Value Description 1 First in field (only with structure= 1 or 4) 3 Any
For any USE attribute where we specify that WORD is a valid structure attribute, the values of word list (6) and ordered word list (7) are also valid. We implement word list as "AND" within a field. We implement ordered word list (7) as "AND" with a proximity of 1 with order being important. Date (5) is implemented much like word with the most useful difference being it allows for ranging of dates (ie: 1987-1993 will only hit on records between 1987 and 1993 inclusive). If no attribute value is sent, our implementation performs the search as if the value is Word.
Value Description 1 phrase 2 word 3 key 4 year 5 date (normalized) 6 word list 7 ordered word list 101 normalized
Truncation attributes 1, 100, 101 and 104 are defined in the Truncation Attributes section of Bib Attribute Set at:
< http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/bib1.html#truncation" >.
Value Description 1 Right truncation 100 Do not truncate 101 Process # in search term
(# is zero or more characters) 104 Truncation is defined in Z39.58-1992 # represents a single character ? represents from 0 to 9 characters; specify a number after the ? If no truncation character is present, do not truncate
Truncation and wildcard characters can only be used after 3 characters in the search term. Limits are imposed on truncation/wildcards in order to maintain high performance standards -- an error will be sent if the truncation/wildcard query is too general.
The OCLC server supports the following completeness attributes. If no attribute value is sent, our implementation performs the search as if the value is Incomplete subfield.
Value Description 1 Incomplete subfield 3 complete field (only with structure= 1 or 4)

What kind of nerd culture repository would the Nerdist Channel on YouTube be if there wasn't a look at live-action role playing? Realm of LARP is a series looking at LARPers in action, and it debuts June 18th. This is the trailer. Make sure you click here and subscribe to the Nerdist Channel so you don't miss the debut while you're running around in the woods wielding suitably realistic yet inoperable weapons.
Are You Havin' a LARP?
Finally, a larp show that is going to production. The last 6 months has been promise after promise of larp shows going into production, but we've seen nothing.
We're hoping Realm of Larp is hilarious!
If you're only looking at live-combat fantasy LARPs, you're only looking at a narrow part of LARPing. It's a very diverse community that takes on different genres and approaches to role-playing. Take a look at Intercon, for example. This year's New England con (http://www.interactiveliterature.org/L/) had more than fifty different one shot LARPs of all different sizes, shapes, and genres. Science fiction, historical drama, steampunk, horror, Batman, and yes, even some fantasy, all in one place. I'm too much of a klutzy menace with a padded weapon, so I'd much rather face a trial in front of Judge Roy Bean in a Western LARP, or face the Vorpal Bunny as Arthur in a comedic musical LARP, or raise questions of what it means to be human in a Universe-spanning science fiction LARP. There's a lot more to LARP than just medieval fantasy.

A toss of the coin for me. From an NZ POV, I just hope the AB's play it like they would a final and leave no stone unturned because if they can beat Aust, that's the WC for me. I just can't see Wales or France (yes France) getting up over us at Eden Park in a final.
Aust still worry me though, even with their suspect scrum. Poccock, Ioane, Genia & Beale give me the sh**ts while McCaw & Reid both look a shadow of what they were in 2010. I hope we start with Cruden, he gives me a lot more confidence than Colin Slade.
Thoughts on this one?

Womenswear gets its cues from Menswear
Chances are if you're a Brandish reader then you're already well aware of the importance of menswear, but today Jean Schneides in WWD did some catwalk investigating and concluded that you need to keep one on the menswear collections at all times, if you want a preview of what the womenswear collections will look like a few weeks or months later.
Armani clashes with Dolce & Gabbana over trousers
An epic fashion row has erupted over a pair of quilted silk trousers seen on both the D&G and Armani catwalks at the Milan menswear shows.
Armani started it all by saying: "Now they copy, later they will learn."
Christmas is over: buy yourself some pyjamas
January looms and you're trying very hard to wear proper clothes again, but really there couldn't be a better time to invest in some lovely pyjamas.
GQ Upgrade: A style intervention
In addition to GQ's well dressed rebel series, they are also hosting a fashion intervention for six men. Realizing there is a world of men who don't pay any attention to their daily outfits, GQ sent out their fashion editors to upgrade the participant's style.
Celeb Style: Wallace & Gromit in Harvey Nichols Adverts!
Zooey Deschanel, Agy Deyn, Irina Lazareanu, Vanessa Paradis; the fashion world is known for it's adopting of a different muse for each different season. However, while most muses can be linked by their quirky style, elfin features and statement look, Wallace & Gromit really stand out from the crowd.
That hasn't stopped Harvey Nichols from enlisting their modeling talent for their latest campaign and decked out in D&G shirts, Alexander McQueen suits, Paul Smith scarfs and Ray Ban Wafarers, I'm actually quite jealous!
Read on for more details and pictures- it's worth it, trust me!
Brandish Poll: Do You Diet?- And I Don't Mean Butcher…
As Beckham's 'people' deny he's been at all enhanced in the Armani pants department and Matt McConaughey is seen in D&G ads being hounded for his bod, it occurs to me that more than ever we men are striving for physical perfection.
More and more I am left sulking at lunch as male friends tell me they are banned from certain foods and no, before you ask, they're not all gay. Or vain.
Milan Fashion Week Menswear Trends: Preppy
Today is the last day of the Milan Menswear shows and by the looks of things they're not taking any sartorial chances, preferring the relative comfort and security of preppy.
Trends: Watch & Wear- Navy SEAL Zeal
List any of this season's It-items and chances are they are water-related or wave-inspired. Yes, that means you boat shoe, loafer, plimsoll, striped tee and navy (hello!) blue shirt.
The mood is light yet determined and spray-in-the-face cool. Imagine sea-side escapades (emphasis on the imagine) and sand between your toes as you loosely raise that striped knit from your oversized Jil Sander mesh-holdall.
Top Five: Euroflash- Masculinity or Insecurity?
With guidebook and ability to say thank-you in tow, I was an innocent tourist. At least that was until I saw him from across the road. The letters emblazoned on his back in plush gold velvet shone with insecurity- "Vagina Lover." Welcome to testosterone Euroflash-style.
Matthew McConaughey at Fool's Gold Premiere
Just last night, the city of London was buzzing with the excitement of celebrity; that of the glorious Kate Hudson and heavily scent-sponsored Matthew McConaughey. Now I'm not going to lie and pretend that Mr. McConaughey isn't one of my favourite actors because well, even I don't get that offended by sticking to the sartorial sidelines.
Dolce & Gabbana grey Jeans/trousers – Jousers?
For some weird reason, Grey jeans are still hard to come by. That's what makes these Dolce & Gabbana light jeans a god/allah/thereisnogod-send. While I love trousers, they can be slightly too flimsy for my tastes.
You Would If You Could… The Awkward Lengths
The next look to make our list is the awkward length. This was a hard one to put into this feature as some do manage to pull it off but not everyone is Terence Koh and it only took a look at the local fashionisto's crash and burn outfit of Kriss van Assche-style combat with tight tee to know that this was one to be hastily put down.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina House honored music legend and native son Doc Watson with a resolution Thursday.
Lawmakers said the late guitarist forever changed the genres of folk, blues, country and bluegrass with his signature style and voice. Born in Deep Gap in 1923, Watson is credited with developing the flatpicking style of guitar playing and leaving his mark across a broad range of American roots music over a decades-long career.
Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake, said he was glad he got the chance to take his son to a Watson show before the singer's death at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem last year at age 89.
"We produce in this world a lot of extremely talented, bright people who contribute in a whole range of fields, but there are really only a very few geniuses produced, and Doc Watson was truly a genius when it came to music," he said.
The House unanimously passed a resolution that charted Watson's beginnings on a regular radio program in Lenoir and his major appearances with Bill Monroe, often considered the father of bluegrass.
The Town of Boone dedicated a life-size statue to Watson in 2011 inscribed with the phrase, "Just one of the people."
Meanwhile, Wilkesboro's MerleFest music festival, named after Watson's son, kicked off its 26th year Thursday for the first time without Watson. Festival organizers said the four-day event will include a jam session Saturday featuring many of Watson's closest musician friends, who will tell stories and play some of Watson's favorite songs.
"From the beginning, Doc Watson has been the artistic center of this festival," says festival director Ted Hagaman. "So for MerleFest 2013, we will come together as a family to pay special tribute to the man and the musician who meant so much to us all."
The festival will also feature a section in its program dedicated to Watson, videos throughout the events and special displays.
Merlefest was started in 1988 in memory of Watson's son Merle, who died at age 36 in a 1985 tractor accident. Doc Watson and his son had performed together for more than two decades.

On November 6th, you will hopefully step into a ballot box somewhere in Florida to make your voice heard along with your fellow citizens. In addition to deciding on your president, vice president, senator, representative and retention for several members of the Judiciary, this year's ballot will also contain eleven (11) weighty amendments that merit some deliberation beforehand.
Florida has had six (6) different constitutions throughout its history: 1838, Ordinance of Secession in 1861, 1864, 1868, 1885 and our current constitution which was ratified on November 5, 1968. Florida's Constitution is a living document which can be amended five ways although the two most frequently used are: citizen petition or a Joint Resolution of the Legislature passed by 3/5 of each Chamber.
None of the eleven (11) amendments being proposed this year were placed on the ballot as a result of a citizen petition. If you haven't given much thought to who is sponsoring these eleven (11) amendments and why, the Community Advocacy Network (CAN) will be holding a FREE Luncheon and Town Hall Meeting this Friday, October 12th at the Katzman Garfinkel & Berger Law and Learning Center in Margate. Many of the sponsors of these amendments along with spokespersons from groups supporting and opposing same will be attending.
Amendment One is Florida's response to Obamacare inasmuch as it would prohibit laws or rules from compelling any person or employer to purchase, obtain or otherwise provide healthcare coverage. It is being sponsored by Senator Haridopolos and Representative Plakon. Opponents claim that this amendment, if passed, might very well be moot as the Supreme Court has already upheld the constitutionality of the Federal Health Care Plan.
Amendment Six provides that public funds may not be expended for any abortion or for health insurance coverage of abortion. This amendment is being sponsored by Senator Flores and Representative Baxley.
Amendment Eight deletes the prohibition against using revenues from the public treasury either directly or indirectly in aid of any church, sect or religious denomination or in aid of any sectarian institution. This amendment is sponsored by Senator Altman and Representatives Plakon and Precourt.
Amendment Nine provides for property tax relief for the surviving spouse of a military veteran who died from service-connected causes while on active duty or to the surviving spouse of a first responder who died in the line of duty. This amendment is sponsored by Senator Norman and Representative Harrison.
Blog space allows us to only touch on a small sampling of the proposed amendments. However, at the Town Hall, guests will be provided with full summaries of each amendment along with the opportunity to pick the brains of the folks sponsoring, supporting and opposing these changes. There will also be a discussion of upcoming community association legislation and what your legislators think you need and want in that regard.

Get packing
March 15th, 2017 by Colin Walls
I have frequently made the observation that a key difference between embedded and desktop system programming is variability: every Windows PC is essentially the same, whereas every embedded system is different. There are a number of implications of this variability: tools need to be more sophisticated and flexible; programmers need to be ready to accommodate the specific requirements of their system; standard programming languages are mostly non-ideal for the job.
I have written on a number of occasions about the non-ideal nature of standard programming languages for embedded applications. A specific aspect that can give trouble is control of optimization …
Optimization is a big topic. Broadly it is a set of processes and algorithms that enable a compiler to advance from translating code from (say) C into assembly language to translating an algorithm expressed in C into a functionally identical one expressed in assembly. This is a subtle, but important difference.
A key aspect of optimization is memory utilization. Typically, a decision must be made in the trade-off between having fast code or small code – it is rare to have the best of both worlds. This decision also applies to data. The way that data is stored into memory affects its access time. With a 32-bit CPU, if everything is aligned with word boundaries, access time is fast; this is termed "unpacked data". Alternatively, if bytes of data are stored as efficiently as possible, it may take more effort to retrieve data and hence the access time is slower; this is "packed" data. So, you have a choice much the same as with code: compact data that is slow to access or a bit of wasted memory, but fast access to data.
Most embedded compilers have a switch to select what kind of code generation and optimization is required. However, there may be a situation where you decide to have all your data unpacked for speed, but have certain data structures where you would rather save memory by packing. Or perhaps you pack all the data and have certain items which you want unpacked either for speed or for sharing with other software. For these situations, many embedded compilers feature two extension keywords – packed and unpacked – which override the appropriate code generation options. It is unlikely that you would use both keywords in one program, as only one of the two code generation options can be active at any one time.

Next Play
SETTING: The entrance to the palace and the Queen's chamber. (But you could perform this play in your living room.)
(All characters speak with English accents.)
Narrator:Once upon a time there was a princess who had the most horrible temper. It was so awful that the queen could do nothing about it. But one day...
(Sound of a doorbell.)
Butler:Yes? What would you like?
Prince:I have come to ask the queen for her daughter's hand in marriage.
Butler:Really? Well, wait here while I go ask the queen. Oh, queen?
Butler:There's a prince out there who wants your daughter to give him a hand.
Queen:Really? Well, I'll go tell the princess. Oh, princess?
(The princess is busy looking in the mirror and brushing her hair.)
Queen:There is a prince at the door who wants you to give him a hand.
(Princess claps, applauding.)
(Queen turns to the Butler.)
The princess says . . .
(The Queen applauds.)
Butler:All right!
(Butler returns to the Prince, who is waiting at the door.)
(The Butler applauds.)
Prince:What are you doing?
Butler:You wanted the princess to give you a hand.
Prince:No. I want the princess's hand in marriage.
Butler:You want to marry her hand?
Prince:No! I don't want just her hand. I want ALL OF HER!
Prince:All of her.
(Butler returns to the Queen.)
Butler:The prince says he wants Oliver.
Queen:Oliver? The gardener?
Butler:Yes. He wants his hand.
Queen:Oh, princess! The prince says that he wants Oliver.
Princess:The gardener?
Queen:Yeah. He's handy.
(Princess goes to the Prince.)
Princess:Are you the prince?
Prince:Yes! Yes!
Princess:Well, this is Oliver.
(Oliver enters with a shovel.)
Oliver:You need a hand?
(Prince looks at the audience, completely confused.)

text: Dr. King speaks at a luncheon launching the Gandhi Society on May 17, 1962, citing the great significance of the day: the anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision declaring school segregation unconstitutional, the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the centennial of the death of Henry David Thoreau, whose essay on civil disobedience influenced Gandhi. He announces that earlier that day he sent President Kennedy a document seeking an executive order proclaiming all forms of segregation to be a violation of the US Constitution. The Gandhi Society was formed as a tax-exempt fund to cover legal expenses and channel support to the nonviolent civil rights movement.
