JEFF, can we (1) replace the AV emblem with the new 2012 version; (2) delete the gray ‘Peer Review Rated’ emblem presently on the webpage in the right column which seems redundant on this page with the red AV emblem, (3) add the Amer. Bd. of Cert. emblem-the ratings board that issues the board certification in business bankruptcy that I’ll send to you; and (4) move all three emblems up to the right column where the gray ‘Peer Review Rated’ emblem appears now?
