Published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology on September 15, 2009, by Jonathan Cohen of ICF International, co-authored with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The objectives of the study were to develop a methodology for a health risk interpretation of biomonitoring data and to apply it using NHANES 1999-2002 body burden data for organophosphorus (OP) pesticides. OP pesticides present a particularly challenging case given the nonspecificity of many metabolites monitored through NHANES. The results suggest that approximately 40 percent of children in the United States may have had insufficient margins of exposure (MOE) for neurological impacts from cumulative exposures to OP pesticides (MOE less than 1000). The paper was given an Editor's Choice Award as Best Paper of 2009, 2nd Runner up, category Science.

Vineet Nayar, vice chairman and CEO of HCL Technologies very famously declared in a recent interview that if a company wants to succeed it needs to be perpetually unhappy. Nayar, a management thinker in his own right may be true but his remarks could set the cat among the pigeons for HR managers, who are incessantly trying to up the happiness quotient within companies.
But Nayar's comments could well be rooted in our very own mythology wherein both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata have shown how suffering and unhappiness triggered transformational changes for both Rama and the Pandavas. Rama lost his rightful claim to the throne, when his father Dasharatha passed away just before banishing him to the forest for 14 years to uphold a boon he had given to one of his queens. It was a period of Ram's deepest personal tragedy. But it was only during this period of hardship and suffering that his personality and destiny was shaped. A substantial part of the Ramayana actually deals with those 14 years.
Similarly, even in the Mahabharata, the Pandava brothers – Yudhisthir, Bheema, Arjuna Nakul and Sahadeva – were all banished from their kingdom by their scheming cousin brothers for 12 years. During this time, despite the unhappiness and suffering, they learnt the art of survival as also fostered relationships and bonds which helped later when they had to fight to reclaim their kingdom.
Fast forward to the present, can we expect similar changes in the economy and stock markets and for people associated with it, who have been in a constant state of unhappiness for a while because of depressed market conditions. Only when the government was hemmed in did it give a breather and new direction to the economy by announcing a spate of new reforms. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh actually likened the present crisis, which neccessitated the changes, to the crisis of 1991.
Let us take the stock markets, easily the barometer of a nation's state of being, to drive the point. So, if you had invested during January 2000, a period of high optimism built around buoyancy in technology stocks, the three year return of the sensex would have been -38 % and a five year return would have been 26 %. Similarly, your investments in another period of euphoria during December 2007 (when the global economy was booming) the three year returns of the sensex would have been 1 % and a five year return would have been 15%.
However, investments during October 2001, right after the global markets collapse would have fetched a three year return of 91 % and five year return of 334%. Similarly, investments in the sensex in June 2004 following the unexpected defeat of the BJP in the general elections would have yielded a three year return of 206 % and a five year return of 334%. Perhaps a state of confusion and discontent brings out the best in both people and companies to ensure better returns or to just survive.
Following March 2009, we have been in a constant state of flux – salary cuts, retrenchments, currency fluctuations – all of which lent a debilitating impact on the markets with the sensex contracting to 9709 from 15644 points in March 2008. It has moved back since but the pain for a lot of companies still continues as they muddle through.
In a recent meeting, Nayar, sought to explain where he was coming from. Following the slowdown of 2008, he said he actually drove an aggressive innovation without any retrenchments and gave employees new stretch goals and a vision. Despite the state of unhappiness and discontent, because of increased targets, a focussed cultural change of "Employees First", the outcome was positive. HCL Technologies has been growing above the industry average since.
It's been a similar experience in handful of other companies including FMCG major Hindustan Unilever. Smarting under the downgrades by analysts following the slow down of 2008, HUL CEO Nitin Paranjape, took charge and carved out new audacious goals for its employees. Some people couldn't cope and left. He too used what he describes as "healthy dissatisfaction and stretch goals" to goad the staff to give more than their normal, besides also offering them a "purpose". The result – its market cap improved from Rs 51,770 crore in 2008-09 to Rs 88,600 crore in 2011-12 , while revenues grew by 50% to over Rs 22,000 crore since 2007. The HUL stock is once again the darling of the investor community. Obviously certain companies have done something right to be able to project better valuations, discounting the turbulence of the times and thus differentiating themselves by using unhappiness to their advantage.
So, it appears positive dissatisfaction with the present, which could lead to unhappiness in the short term for most, is actually the road to success in the long term if used wisely. Maybe that would happen to our economy as well as long as there is a leader to milk the discontent, channelize it and drive it forward.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (1/3/14) — Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lexington is excited to announce for the first time in the history of the program, a third full time Volunteer Manager has been hired. This means the program will be able to take on 30 additional volunteers and provide advocacy for more children! The program is currently seeking interested community members to become CASA volunteers.
CASA of Lexington is the local branch of a nationwide non-profit organization. CASA of Lexington recruits and trains volunteers who are then assigned to a child abuse or neglect court case. CASA volunteers come from all socio and economic backgrounds, bringing a wide variety of experiences to the agency. CASA volunteers strive to be the one familiar face to children faced with an ever changing array of service providers, foster homes and schools.
"Volunteering for CASA has definitely opened my eyes. When you think about how children are being hurt by the ones who are supposed to love and protect them the most, how can you not volunteer? It's heartbreaking to learn what happens in our own community. My experience has been positively life changing and I will always give back to children," said Lyndsey Martin, CASA volunteer.
Volunteers are required to be a minimum of 21 years of age, complete an application, undergo background checks and an interview and complete a 30 hour training course. CASA of Lexington also asks that volunteers be willing to commit to ten hours a month for two years, in order to provide consistency to children in an otherwise ever-changing system.
"I chose CASA because of what the volunteers do. We help to give a voice to the voiceless and change the lives of those around us one child at a time," said Kelly McDaniel, CASA volunteer.
In 2012, local CASA volunteers gave 143 children a voice in court, a cause for celebration. Yet sadly, 1,140 more children in Lexington are in need of help. The next training class starts January 23 and takes place at the CASA office. For more information or to sign up for the upcoming training contact Rachel Moody at
or (859) 246.4317. Sign up to become a CASA volunteer and make a difference today!

Earlier today, we learned from Jason Hurley that the San Francisco 49ers had worked out a salary reduction with Craig Dahl. While Dahl was not overly impressive when he was playing some limited snaps at safety, he remains the primary backup. It sounds like there is some optimism that Donte Whitner might return in 2014.
Prior to today, there was no chatter or leaks from the 49ers about Donte Whitner's future. Now, we have our first little bit of information. Matt Barrows is reporting sources at the NFL Combine indicated the 49ers are, "now more optimistic they can re-sign Whitner."
It would seem some of this optimism is due to the recent projections of a higher salary cap than expected. Initially, reports projected a cap between $126.3 million and $128 million. Last week, Adam Schefter reported it was projected at $130 million. Over the weekend, John Clayton reported it could grow to $132 million this season.
I would be down with the 49ers extending Whitner, but an increased cap across the board does also mean players might look to make more with their various contracts. On the one hand it would be nice to think this extra cap space gives the 49ers a chance to extend more of their own players. However, we can't forget that negotiations are a two-way street. It will be interesting to see what this projected higher cap actually does to contract negotiations.
On a separate contract note, Tim Kawakami had this as well:
Sounds like the 49ers/Anquan Boldin situation is down to waiting for him to say yes to either a 2- or 3-year deal.
— Tim Kawakami (@timkawakami) February 24, 2014
Hopefully this gets wrapped up this week, and removes any potential headache heading into the start of free agency in two weeks.

After the match report, we take a closer look at a disappointing afternoon in west London.
The Goals When things aren't going your way, goals like Chelsea's first just make matters worse. United's bright start came to an abrupt halt when Samuel Eto'o unleashed a shot that looped over David De Gea off Michael Carrick's outstretched foot. For his second, the Cameroon striker showed off his predatory instincts to bury the ball past De Gea from close range and his hat-trick was completed when Eto'o tapped home a close-range rebound after Cahill had forced a save from the keeper. Chicharito showed keen reactions to touch Phil Jones' shot past Cech for what turned out to be a consolation effort.
Star man Adnan Januzaj's lively display provided a bright spark for United. He played up front, ahead of Danny Welbeck, in the early stages and the problems he posed for John Terry and Gary Cahill show that playing as a striker is not beyond his

Africare News In Brief
Africare and 10x10 Will Celebrate the United Nations' First-Ever International Day of the Girl
WASHINGTON (October 5, 2012) – Africare, a non-profit committed to improving the lives of people in Africa, is pleased to announce its cooperation with 10x10 in celebrating the first-ever International Day of the Girl. Africare will host an event to emphasize the importance of empowering young women worldwide. An interactive discussion will take place in Washington on Thursday, October 11 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Africare's headquarters.
The 10x10 movement is championing the International Day of the Girl to raise awareness of the barriers that prevent millions of girls from receiving an education, as well as the wide-ranging benefits that girls bring to their communities when equipped to seize the opportunity. A central piece of 10x10's campaign is the promotion of their upcoming feature film, "Girl Rising", directed by Academy Award nominee Richard Robbins. The film tells the stories of 10 extraordinary girls from 10 countries. It is written by 10 celebrated writers, and narrated by 10 renowned actresses including Meryl Streep and Selena Gomez.
"In today's news, there is a jolting reminder of just how much work needs to be done toward a gender-neutral world," said Mona Davies, Program Manager, Africare. "Developing countries must embrace and enforce policies that protect and value girls. However, the burden is also on developed nations, particularly the Diaspora, to reach back, reach out and lift up a girl somewhere!"
Africare shares 10x10's commitment to women's empowerment, and will use the event to facilitate discussion among community leaders, journalists and non-profit representatives who are actively engaged in the fight for gender equality. The meeting will also encourage measures to support girls in the Shaw/Howard neighborhood and share video clips from Robbins' highly anticipated film that is due in theaters in 2013.
"Whether it is here or on the African continent, females are dealing with similar issues, and I think it's great that Africare is getting involved with the girls in our community," said Davies. "The need is great here, and charity begins at home."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine plans to brief police officers on ways to investigate and prosecute illegal gambling at storefront gambling-like operations known as Internet cafes.
DeWine has long been a critic of the businesses' operations and their lack of regulation in the state. He plans to explain to officers at Wednesday's briefing how his office can help them with such investigations.
An appeals court in Cleveland upheld the gambling convictions of 3 Internet cafes last month.
The cafes' status has been the subject of intense lobbying in Columbus, with the Ohio House voting last month to approve a crackdown on the operations.
Backers of the cafes say they are legal and help the economy.

The GUB Grind II – pictures and video!
By Valdamar
Hello all you underwear lovers out there! On April 13th we held our second GUB Grind, an underwear fashion show and auction that raised money for Colorado Springs Pride.
This year was even better than last year! First off because we didn't hold it during a blizzard. We had over 100 pair of underwear donated from Jake Joseph, MeUndies.com, MusclePix, UnderBriefs.com, and a few of our favorite erotic stars; Scott Spears and Jace Tyler. We also had some donations from a local vendor, Naughty and Nice, located in Old Colorado City. We had some great volunteers and models who made the event a success, plus they looked good in undies too.
First off MusclePix decked the club out with 2'x3' vinyl posters from the GUB original photo collection. The club looked great! Plus we had the beats of DJ Jer to dance to and the models to strut to. Although at one point during the fashion show "short man" came on, I don't think our models fit that song, haha. We also had a few great guest hosts; Kyree Myst and Beyanna J Banks. Of course we had a GREAT venue, Club Q in Colorado Spring. After the whole thing I danced the night away with the models till like 3am!
Second we had our silent auction with a bunch of great undies going for really good prices. We even had a few signed photos and underwear from Scott Spears. His underwear was designed for him to wear in a fashion show in Palm Springs. And yes we auctioned off the actual underwear he wore. Sexy Jace Tyler also donated a pair of his underwear that he personally signed and included an autographed picture. Plus he shared a photo of him self biting these undies!
Of course the highlight of the night was the Fashion Show. Here we had our five beautiful models showing off the hot undies we had donated to us: Chris, Jordon, Michael, Nick, and Solomon. We had three separate shows with three themes: Sports, Formal, and Hawaii. After each show we then brought the models back on stage and auctioned the underwear right off them! We had underwear going for up to $45. Funny thing was the highest bidders seemed to be the ladies. It's good to see women are interested in a man in, or out, of quality undies.
The night was a huge success and we were able to raise over $1,000 for Colorado Springs Pride and their fight for equality! Civil Unions just became legal in Colorado as of May 1st, next step Marriage Equality! Good job Colorado. Next year the GUB Grind is going to be HUGE!!! Really HUGE!!! More info on that later.
We would like to thank: Club Q, Jake Joseph, MusclePix, MeUndies.com, Naughty and Nice, UnderBriefs.com, the Model and Volunteers.

Major m8mate 2013 swim wear picture post. Part 1.
Y'all remember the exquisite Ukrainian underwear brand, m8mate, which we first introduced you to about a year and a half ago?
Well, here at GuysUnderwearBlog.com we are actually on holiday at the moment, enjoying the sunny beaches of Thailand. And we see too many guys wearing boring, out-of-date swim wear.
A Ukrainian follower of GUB then kindly reminded us that m8mate currently has some seriously great-looking swim styles. And we decided to use this as an opportunity to teach the world a valuable lesson about men's swim wear. Why look bland and generic, when you can look cool and dignified like these guys below?
Therefore, over the next couple of days we will share with you some of m8mate's new swim wear pics (there are loads), starting with the Marina range.
Enjoy the pics and head over to m8mate.com or the m8mate Facebook page to see more.

Guys' Underwear Blog original photo: The "other" Val
By Valdamar
What better place to hang in your underwear than the kitchen? Here we have our model Val, chilling in his undies in this beautiful kitchen. The funny thing at this shoot was that both he and myself go by "Val", so it was like I was talking to myself, lol.
The shoot was a lot of fun Val (the model) was a great guy to work with. More pictures of Val will be coming out, including one in the bathroom! Underwear provided by the Guys' Underwear Blog.
Valdamar's Underwear Report: 1,000 Likes on Facebook!
By Valdamar
That's right, I dropped "Weekly". Who am I kidding, we all know my punctuality with this report has not been weekly recently. I will do my VERY best to keep you up on the biggest happenings in the underwear world. I promise, I just don't promise it will happen every week.
This week has been great for us here at the GUB. We released our first original photo, and damn was it hot! I have another shoot with that model on the 20th, plus I have three other hot models scheduled for shoots this week.
In addition to the amazing undies supplied by AussieBum I just received some great underwear from Skivvies. HOT! Ok enough about that, let's get to the news:
We hit one thousand likes on our Facebook page this week! Woo Hoo! And for those of you who haven't kept up with our Facebook community I promised that if we hit 1,000 likes by Thanksgiving I would post a picture of myself in underwear. So here is one picture. One with my face will be added to Facebook later this week.
At the time that seemed like an almost impossible feat, but you guys did it with over a week to spare! Now I guess I have to live up to my word. So if you want to see it, "like" our face book page and stay tuned! (Above is me with my underwear collection).
Underwear Market Report
Above is a chart showing the trend in underwear sales for 2011. Underwear has long been considered an indicator of how the market is doing. In particularly men's underwear. The theory is that men only buy new underwear when they have extra money. Of course that doesn't go for us here. It is good to see the price of cotton has gone down. KEY: Blue-BAL cotton, Red – HBI Hanes, Green WRC Warnaco (Group that includes Calvin Klein), Yellow – LTD Limited Brands (Group that includes Victoria's Secret), Brown – MFB Maidenform Brands.
Should We Wear Eco-Friendly Underwear?
According to a post on Care2.com, we should consider it. Why? Basically it goes back to cotton, organic versus conventionally grown cotton. Cotton covers 2.5 percent of the world's cultivated land and uses 16 to 25 percent of the worlds pesticides. Cotton uses more chemical products in production than any other agricultural product. So organic methods can help reduce this pollution. And organic undies can help.
Tebow Underwear Billboard
Jockey is going to put up a billboard in Denver featuring Tim Tebow now that he actually is being used by the Broncos. So what will he be wearing? A pair of jeans, and a baggy T-shirt!!! Sorry but I have to say, WORST UNDERWEAR BILLBOARD EVER! We love you Jockey, but get Tebow in underwear or get a new spokesperson.
Underwear Mayor
Medford, New Jersey Mayor Chris Myers, a Republican, says that he won't resign, but didn't deny allegations that he paid for gay sex while visiting California last October.
Nor will he confirm or deny a picture (Above) that appears to be him wearing blue Calvin Klein underwear, which was posted on the gay website Rentboy.com. Good for him!
Hair Rules
A movie entitled "Hair Rules" was shown at the Houston Comedy Film Festival. The movie is about a man, named Bruce, trying to become an underwear model. Well you know Bruce, we would love to have you model for us at the GUB.
Underwear Bang Bang
A 20–year-old man wound up sleeping it off at the Barrie police station, in Ontario Canada, Saturday morning (October 22) after he showed up in his underwear at a home around 7:30 a.m. and began banging on the door. The people at the residence didn't know the man, police say, a student from South River. He was charged with causing a disturbance and has a future court date. Why can't underwear clad 20 year old come bang on my door?
Legally Required Underwear
David Jones, of the UK, has been sentenced to underwear. He has spent a year in jail of accounts of indecent exposure. He flashed several women in a Alfreton Library. Part of his departing agreement is that he MUST wear underwear when he goes out in public. I wonder if he's allowed to have a fly front?

On night in Mesa Arizona a couple came home to find a burglar in their home. The wife spotted the 23 year old man and the husband pursued him. Joshua Randall, the burglar, struck the husband with a bronze candle and even bit off a piece of his ear! Somehow during the struggle Randall lost his pants and had to flee the scene in his underwear. It's always good to depants any man who enters your home.
Depantsed by Police
Joseph Knight of Tennessee was arrested by the local police. While they were trying to verify his identity he bolted and ran while still handcuffed. A struggle ensued and Knight got away but somehow lost his pants in the mayhem. How did the police get his pants but lose him?
An Ear In Inmates Underwear!
Yes you read that right. A man being processed at a Greek prison had an ear hidden in the crotch of his underwear. He told authorities it was a sheep's ear and that he normally wore it around his neck but didn't want it taken from him so he hid it. The authorities can not figure out if it really is a sheep's ear or a human's. Wow.
Robbed and left in Underwear
A man, in Walterboro South Carolina, was left standing in his underwear late on Friday night after men reportedly approached him at an intersection and took his shirt, pants and shoes. According to an incident report, the man was walking down the Street when an unknown man in a Buick pulled up beside him and three men jumped out of the car. The victim told investigators the three men surrounded him, pulled a knife and stuck it to his side. They then reportedly demanded he take off all his clothes, well almost all. They also took his wallet containing $235. But at least he kept his underwear.

Rangers Supporters For Justice
Glasgow Rangers Football club and its fans are now under a sustained and prolonged attack from the media and politicians of Scotland. The Labour party and its political and religious allies, have now openly and sectarianly attacked our club and fans without reply from David Murray. We are also witnessing the media in Scotland, such as The Daily Record, The Sun and The Herald, clearly distorting the truth in almost every story concerning our club. We are left with no choice, but to send this petition to the Scottish Executive, asking for equality and fair treatment, rather than a one club witchunt.

New Jerseyans paid the highest monthly mortgage amount in the nation as the four-year decline in home values reached 17 percent, NJ Spotlight reported.
In 2008, the median value of a home in New Jersey was $377,000. By 2012, the median value was $312,000, according to the report. New Jerseyans paid a median monthly mortgage payment of $2,342--nearly a $1,000 more than the national median of $1,460.
In Sussex County, the median home value in 2012 was $270,600, which is 16.9 percent less than values in 2008. The monthly home cost, including a mortgage payment, was $2,273 for Sussex residents in 2012, according to the report.
NJ Spotlight noted that one estimate put the number of New Jersey households spending a third or more of their income on housing cost at a staggering 51 percent.

Politics and Media Headlines 3/11/09
by Caro, Wed Mar 11, 2009 at 10:55:25 AM EDT
Bonus Quote of the Day (Political Wire)
"We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010. Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint." -- Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), quoted by the National Journal, on the new Republican strategy.
This Modern World (by Tom Tomorrow)

What's distressing about these tactics is that they have worked so well for so long. And will continue to work as long as Democrats refuse to become educators and defenders of liberal issues.--Caro
"Is There Anything Wrong With Saying Yes?" (by dday at Hullabaloo)
New York Times reporters had a conversation with Barack Obama on his plane, where they actually asked him if he were a socialist. Obama answered no, explained the thought process behind his budget, and later, after pondering it, actually called the reporters back and said, "It was hard for me to believe that you were entirely serious about that socialist question."... [B]eyond the debates over opinions which are obviously ridiculous, there's a larger point that was touched upon in the follow-up question about socialism by the Times. "Q. Is there anything wrong with saying yes?"
Only in a country where the balance of acceptable discourse has been so tainted and distorted that reasonable social democratic policies are completely forbidden from the conversation. And so you have Obama's advisers running to David Brooks to prove that they aren't crazy socialist radicals, but pragmatists. Which makes a certain political sense, but isn't actually true... I don't believe that Obama's team is made up of pragmatists. Because pragmatists would look at reality and do exactly what's necessary, regardless of ideological concerns.
Times Reporter Defends Asking Obama If He's A "Socialist" (by Greg Sargent at The Plum Line)
The unavoidable political context here ... is that Republicans and conservatives -- or "some people," as the paper put it -- are trying to tar Obama as a socialist right now in order to turn the public against his agenda.
Obama and the New York Times (by Eric Boehlert at County Fair, Media Matters for America)
The simple truth is that by asking Obama whether he was a socialist, the Times effectively endorsed the divisive right-wing rhetoric; the Times shoved it into the mainstream.
Eric says in this post that Times reporters haven't done this to past presidents, and he uses Bush as an example. Now, I don't have Bob Somerby's memory on specifics, but didn't the media, including the Times, ask Bill Clinton and Al Gore the most embarrassing questions they could think of? It's always Democrats who are asked ridiculous questions.--Caro
Working in a Cole Mind (by myiq2xu at The Confluence)
John Cole: "...The reason social conservatives and progressives both hate the media is because they really don't care about either group or their issues. This is about protecting the amassed wealth of the few."... Unfortunately, [Cole] and his readership are not ready to consider the logical implications of that idea. Consider these two facts:
- The media opposed Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Sarah Palin.
- The media supported Barack Obama.
And they are being proven right, day after day, decision after decision.--Caro
So, if Obama's not a socialist, what IS he?
Obama: 'I am a New Democrat' (Politico, thanks to Cinie at The Confluence)
President Barack Obama firmly resists ideological labels, but at the end of a private meeting with a group of moderate Democrats Tuesday afternoon he offered a statement of solidarity. "I am a New Democrat," he told the New Democrat Coalition, according to two sources at the White House session. The group is comprised of centrist Democratic members of the House, who support free trade and a muscular foreign policy but are more moderate than the conservative Blue Dog coalition. Obama made his comment in discussing his budget priorities and broader goals, also calling himself a "pro-growth Democrat" during the course of conversation.

When the big Westminster Dog Show gets underway next Monday, three new breeds will be vying for the judges' attention. One of them: Rat Terriers.
They will no doubt enchant the TV audience, but a rescue group says stop and think before you rush right out and get one.
Janet Skinner of Palm Harbor is fostering "Wyatt" for New Rattitude Rat Terrier Rescue. He's four years old and 24 pounds of pure energy who likes nothing better than chasing a tennis ball.
Skinner says it's an active breed, and that's something you need to know before you buy or adopt.
"They do like to be kept busy. Rat Terriers are going to need somebody to take them for a walk, to play with them. If they're left alone all the time, they're gonna get bored and they're gonna get in trouble. They're terriers," she says.
New Rattitude has pages of dogs like Wyatt that need homes for a myriad of reasons. Skinner says with the breed being showcased at Westminster, they worry that people will make a snap decision and more of them will end up in rescue.
"We want to make sure people are doing their homework before they get a dog. Don't just run out the next morning to your local pet store or jump online and google Rat Terrier and make a decision that may be a little bit hasty," Skinner said.
As for Wyatt, Skinner says he gets along with all three of her dogs. He doesn't mind cats, and he's smart.
A dog trainer, Skinner is teaching him obedience, and he's even starting to learn agility. She says they are highly trainable.
"They're extremely intelligent and because they do love their people and they do want to please, it makes them very, very easy to train. This dog could be trained to do anything."

- good food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/31/2014Great clam chowder Seafood in bouillabaisse overlooked broth bland Nice sitting outside thankfully away from very loud live musicSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food at restaurant on beachOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014The food, service, and view were all outstanding. French Onion Soup was incredible. Both of our fish entrees were well prepared.Special Features:
- Go for LunchPennyVIPDined on 8/17/2014We found Atlantic Beach Club to be an ideal spot for lunch, as had been recommended to us while in Newport, but disappointing in comparison to other Newport retaurants, for dinner. The Lobster Boil tasted too heavily of the three types of sausages boiled with it. I prefer my seafood to taste like seafood, and not like sausage! The corn was mushy and not sweet. The four of us agreed that the linguini with red clam sauce, which we ordered as an appetizer, was the best dish we had. I would not go back for dinner. Our server was excellent and the ocean view was wonderful, but the food was lacking.Special Features:
- Not badHdhejVIPDined on 8/9/2014The place serves good food, but the seasoning is poor. They accommodated my mother's allergies by doing a piece of plain fish rather than seasoning it with some flavor as Cod has very little flavor. There are much better places, but the price is right during the week if you catch the early bird special.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/8/2014Beautiful setting...easy to park...nice atmosphereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot, bad service experienceAlyChouiDined on 8/8/2014Food was wonderful and view from outdoor patio is beautiful. Our server was very nice but overwhelmed and made it known. Asked for bread 3 times and her response was "I just got 2 tables, so I'll try and get it soon". I believe that it is not the customers responsibility to have to be "understanding" when we are paying up $29/30 for an entree. Additionally, appetizers came out without plates or proper condiments, drinks were empty for our whole meal before she asked if we "needed anything" and we waited for our check/change for almost a half hour. I hope that the service issue is addressed, as the restaurant atmosphere and food are outstanding!Special Features:
- Great place to eat!JandMDined on 8/7/2014We went on a Thursday at 5:00 and had the early bird specials. What a great deal! My husband and I enjoyed the view. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedTableHunterVIPDined on 7/26/2014The setting of the Atlantic Beach Club is nice. Our party of 4 dined there on Saturday for lunch. It was very busy with lots of people there for the beach. The live band was good however overwhelmingly loud. Overall, the bar scene, music, large crowd, etc. would seem more appropriate for a late evening. We were disappointed with the food. My wife and I both had the lobster roll. It was dry and nothing special. Our son had the baked scrod and his girlfriend a tuna sandwich. Nothing special on either of those meals either. This is a restaurant that you would choose for location but NOT for the food!Special Features:
- Exceptional food with great serviceExcellentDined on 7/25/2014We like to frequent the Atlantic Beach Club for a number of reasons, but the good food and great service are two of them. Our favorite spot is in the lounge when there is music, even though at times the music can drown conversations. Add to that the great sunset views and outside eating, the outstanding wine list (which you can also find on a free Apple app called Winequest to help choose your favorite wine) and you got game (which is also on if you are on the lounge). One thing that we do miss lately is the free olive oil and olives that you got with bread at each table which has now been replace with olive tapenade and butter.Special Features:
- HankDined on 7/20/2014Service and ambience was above average. MUsic was much too loud in the first dining room the hostess wHankas seating us in and we requested a quieter location which was immediately providedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not impressedRalphDined on 7/20/2014The food was just okay. The service was good. Nothing impressive.Special Features:
- Great serviceLoriLoriDined on 7/15/2014Our server Kate was excellent! She had super suggestions for dinner, and was quite personable . The desserts were exceptional too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Continued ExcellenceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/13/2014Enjoyed outstanding seafood dinner with mrs and s-I-l. It's a rare trip to Newport that does not include lunch and/or dinner at ABC. Never fails to delight. Tonight's entrees included stuffed scrod and fried scallops. Both excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reservations aren't guaranteed?CourtRyan89Dined on 7/12/2014I thought I was doing the right thing by reserving Patio reservations about three weeks in advance. Nope! We were 10 minutes early for our reservation and was told that it would be 45min.-an hour wait to eat on the patio, and that reserving a table online is not a guarantee. My name and number showed on their screen, reserved for 9 people on the Patio at 3:30. I have no idea why they couldn't have called me (again, they had my name and number) to let me know that I shouldn't expect making a reservation isn't guaranteed. Everyone was so hungry that we sat inside, with a great view of the amazing weather, band, and crowd having a great time on the patio. Oh and our food took about an hour to come out, we only had sandwiches. No bueno.Special Features:
- Sooooooo goodJaniVIPDined on 7/7/2014We always enjoy ABC when we visit Newport. The food is great, the view of the ocean is a bonus! It's one of our Newport favorites.Special Features:
- Great food, view, and serviceRollingRhody400Dined on 7/7/2014ABC is consistently good and I look forward to taking guests to this ocean-front jewel because I know they will enjoy the entire experience. The prices are reasonable and parking is available on site.Special Features:
- Beautiful dinningBLLinRIVIPDined on 7/6/2014It was a beautiful summer evening when DH and I dined at Atlantic Beach Club. We were promptly greeted then seated by the hostess. Our table was on the covered patio with a beautiful view of the ocean. Jason, our server was wonderful. Both the service and food was excellent.Special Features:
- Fisherman's PlatterWooWoo316Dined on 7/4/2014I ordered the Fisherman's platter, and almost everything was delicious, tender and moist; unlike the fried shrimp. The shrimp was over fried and actually dry and chewy...extremely disappointing. Other than that, everything was fabulous.Special Features:
- Best brunchGRAMMYBADined on 6/29/2014We have been wanting to go for brunch for a year. It was worth the wait.Special Features:
- They were overwhelmed...MomDayDelightDined on 6/28/2014We like the food very much but they couldn't handle taking care of the people. Although not every table was taken, our server was slow, inattentive and seemingly unaccommodating. We sat with empty glasses, steamers and lobsters came out with no melted butter and would get cold waiting for it to arrive. For such a great place to eat it was a shame our waitress was so weak and unenthusiastic. It made for a less than perfect evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sandy muclesTableforfourDined on 6/28/2014Waitress started out friendly, she brought us our sparkling wine we asked her for an ice bucket and she did but was kind of put out we did..sandy clams..she said oh that means there fresh..ya u no little girl..means there not washed properly!! No bread and we noticed everyone Around us had some...so I guess go there for dinner but don't ask for anything...Special Features:
- OMG - what a mistakeWineLoverVIPDined on 6/28/2014Looking for a nice seafood restaurant, but this was not the one to go to. Expected a view, but there wasn't any. The food was very basic fare. Wines - well at least they weren't very expensive. Do not go here unless you are looking for a basic family restaurant.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/28/2014Food and service was good. Atmosphere left a little to be desired. In the lobby, there were people dressed formally for an event, casually for dining, and in swimwear from the beach. Maybe have aseparate facilities for the beachgoers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The complete experiencekotooleVIPDined on 6/24/2014What more can you ask for? A fabulous view of the ocean and scrumptious food! Sat outside and watched the waves while eating a terrific baked schrod luncheon packed with a topping of shrimp, scallops and newburg sauce. All three of our party ordered the same thing....it is amazing! Can't beat the prices either. Will be back many times!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/23/2014Noise to mutch because a groupe (bus package tours)in the same room Service very long because (the tours groupe) Fish trio was cold we have to send back Service very good (waitress)Special Features:
- Beachfront gemBlondesVIPDined on 6/21/2014Our server was excellent, food was ok, a bit soggy, the hostess was a DITZ, did not acknowledge my OT reservation; I called the restaurant the next day to have them correct it, was promised a call back, never got one, & my reservation STILL went to OT as cancelled. Had to resolve with OT, NOT a good thing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice sunday brunchdavesailorDined on 6/15/2014walk on the beach and brunch for father's day. good food, good service. this gets a bit wild and crazy later in the day in the outdoor section, but the indoors is kept nice with a strictly enforced dress code. (i was pleased the hostess sent a bikini-clad chick out to the portajohns in a polite way instead of allowing her inside). good brunch buffet- nice selection including custom omelets, carving station, lunch items, sweet things, muffins, and eggs benedict. great deserts. About 70 bucks for 3 including 2 bloody marys.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Bake Stuffed LobstertjjeVIPDined on 6/11/2014Great food, service and location. One of the best baked stuffed lobsters I have had in the area and a very reasonable price.Special Features:
- Meeting Boston Friendswojo995Dined on 6/1/2014Overall decent meal; one exception was the fried "whole-belly" clams. In both the fried clam dinner and Fisherman's Platter, the fried clams were, well, scrawny...not nearly as good as the original Johnnie's was noted for. Remainder of the Platter was very good, as were the clam cakes and calimari. We did really miss the "stuffies". Service was excellent -- Jason and "Young Ryan" were terrific!Special Features:
- LovestodineoutDined on 5/25/2014Brunch was a great value for the price. Great variety of well-made food. Gorgeous view right on the beach. Restaurant could use some remodeling. Definitely recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over-bakedLouInPortsmouthVIPDined on 5/23/2014Friday evening dinner with visiting family - 3 out of 4 meals were fine - the 4th, a baked stuffed lobster @ $48 was over-baked. Legs were burned and brittle. Lobster meat was stuck to the claws and nearly impossible to extricate. I know ABC can do better.Special Features:
- ABCtjjeVIPDined on 5/20/2014ABC is always dependable and good. My only suggestion is to bring back stuffies!Special Features:

- Beautiful SettingReunionDined on 5/18/2014Perfect setting for Sunday brunch. We were in Newport for a college reunion and this setting features the Ocean and the Cliff Walk. We arrived and were shown to an inside table, when I had asked for a water view--which was the reason we chose this spot to begin with. After a little confusion, they did accommodate us with an outdoor table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Our return to the area this year prompted a return to Atlantic Beach Club. I made reservations online with Open Table, arrived within the hour and was greeted by name. We enjoyed our second dinner-for-two-by-the-sea every bit as much as the previous visit. Food was wonderful, facilities clean and beautifully decorated. Great music piped in throughout the evening at just the right volume level. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and made the evening memorable. We will be back! Don't miss the Crème Brulee!!!Special Features:

The inside of the building was gorgeous and the mimosas were delicious. The brunch buffet was spectacular! The stuffed chicken, New England clam chowder and french toast sticks were among my family's favorite items! The mini desserts were a great addition and the carving station was a cool aspect. Very happy! Will return for brunch again!Special Features:

If you know me you know I am obsessed with cake. It's probably the hardest thing "junk food" for me to give up. I love everything and anything cake. Which brings me to this week's Friday Favorite. Some of you may have heard of Jaqua Bath and Body before. They have taken a hiatus for the past couple years, but I am glad to announce they are back!
Jaqua brings the most delectable body products that smell good enough to eat. The best seller, and my personal favorite, is the Buttercream Frosting. It is a dead ringer for the most decadent birthday cake frosting. It amazes me how spot on the fragrance is. I recently purchased their new Pink BFF Buttercream Body Creme, which is a more affordable version of their popular lotion and body butter. The new BFF line features an airless tube, is packed with aloe and avocado oil, and contains organic ingredients. Love. I have to say I think I like the BFF line more because of the pump.
I also purchased the fab, perfect for fall, so good I want to lick my face off Pumpkin Exfoliating Face Mask. I used this product years ago before their hiatus, and it was my obsession. Besides smelling delicious, my face had a beautiful glow after use. I love to put this face mask on when I get to sit, relax, and maybe even take a bath.
For those of you who think Jaqua sent me these products to post, you are dead wrong. I am just in love with everything they carry! If vanilla frosting isn't up your alley Jaqua has a whole line of scents including : cocoa buttercream frosting, pina colada, pink champagne, lemon buttercream, peach parfait, and more!
Jaqua makes all their products in the U.S.A. and never test on animals. I love this company. Jaqua, if you ever read this feel free to test on me! Seriously…I am a willing guinea pig. My contact info is in the tab above
So life you want to treat yourself guilt-free, or are looking for a perfect present for a special lady in your life browse the Jaqua website. Indulge!

Helping improve patient safety
With 'simplicity of use' being a core principle of its design, both novice and experienced instructors can now take full advantage of the benefits of simulation.
With a range of Technical and Educational services to ensure simulation programmes are successfully supported from the outset, and a full complement of patient cases and courseware to ease instructor preparation time – SimMan Essential is set to define a new era in simulation training.
Making a difference
Simulation has gathered increasing acceptance over the years as an integral part of healthcare training and a fundamental approach to help improve patient safety. The challenge now for educators is how to make it more accessible to the wider healthcare community, so that the educational benefits can be experienced by both healthcare practitioners and ultimately, the patients they care for. SimMan Essential has been designed to meet this challenge.
In situ and inter-disciplinary team training
Bringing together multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals in their actual workplace to rehearse both common clinical scenarios and emergency critical incidents is a significant development in simulation practice. From an emergency situation in a remote location through the process of definitive care in a hospital, from a war-torn battlefield to a busy hospital ward – SimMan Essential injects a greater realism into scenario based training to further enhance and contextualise learning objectives in preparation for real patient encounters.
|Professional Education
Building skills competence
While offering unique training opportunities to improve communication skills and develop effective team performance, SimMan Essential will also help build individual student competence in a number of clinical skills.

The U.S. is condemning that attack,
saying there is no possible justification for killing people who worked to help
Afghans achieve a brighter future.
Middle school kids from
across South Dakota
competed in the First LEGO League Robotics State Tournament Saturday.
Participants worked in
teams for the past few months to create and program robots to solve real world
problems. Those teams competing at Saturday's state tournament qualified at
previous regional tournaments and are working toward the next phase of
"There's like about
200-thousand people that do this, in like 70 countries. It's gotten to be
really big, and it's pretty amazing," said participant Joshua Reynolds.
There were more than 350
participants and nearly 1,000 spectators at Saturday's event in Augustana's Elmen Center.
For the second year in a row, Charron's Dark Knights from O'Gorman Jr. High won the state competition. The team will advance to either an international competition in Toronto, Canada or a national competition in San Diego.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced a resigning today of Martins Karsums, one of the many players they have left to resign. Brian Lawton announced the resigning deal as a one year contract .
I frequently call the 5-foot-10, 198 pound winger butterball because of his form and playing ability to bowl into players against the boards. He was acquired through a trade along with Matt Lashoff in exchange for veteran winger Mark Recchi last season. He posted a goal and five assists last season playing on the third and fourth line. Over the summer he played with his native team Latvia putting up one goal and three assists.
Although there have been no financial terms disclosed I would be under the impression this was a cheap resigning for the Lightning keeping a clear path to sign one more top six forward. Karsums should posess the ability to score on the third or fourth line althought I would have much rather seen Brandon Segal back in a Lightning uniform.

Peter Hume Not Seeking Re-electionJon Willing - August 22nd, 2014
Big shocker today at Ottawa City Hall as the most respected councillor around the table announces he's not seeking re-election. Here's his message to residents:

Clark Confirms He'll Seek Re-electionJon Willing - August 22nd, 2014
Peter Clark says he'll defend his council seat for Rideau-Rockcliffe ward in the Oct. 27 municipal election.
Up until Friday, Clark had been coy about his plans but it sounds like his mind was made up a long time ago about seeking re-election.
It probably won't come as a big surprise to challengers. Many heard rumblings that he would be in the race.
"I didn't have an epiphany," Clark said.
"I have several bits of unfinished business that have taken a long time to get in place."
Clark said he wants to continue work on policy for backyard lanes, the strips of municipal land behind homes in the Overbrook area and other communities.
He said he still has interest in fiscal policy at City Hall.
Clark said some people did question if he could get the job done with the energy required. He's 76 years old but he doesn't think it will prevent his ability to contribute on council.
This is going to be another good race in a very diverse ward with a total of six candidates.
The challengers are: Cam Holmstrom, Jevone Nicholas, Tobi Nussbaum, Sheila Perry and Penny Thompson.

Businesses Approve Of Watson More Than CouncilJon Willing - August 20th, 2014
The Ottawa Chamber of Commerce has been polling members on various business issues in the city this year. Abacus Data has been doing the research. From what I can tell, the July survey is the second one and 109 businesses in Ottawa responded. Businesses with "valid email addresses" were invited to participate in the online survey.
The respondents seem to like Mayor Jim Watson, giving him an approval rating of 71%. That's a score based on people saying he's either "extremely effective" (20%) or they simply "approve" of the job he's doing (51%).
Compare that with the approval rating for city council, 38%. Of that, only 1% said they think council is "extremely effective."
Meanwhile, the city staff approval rating is 36%.
There are some interesting differences in the survey between January and June.
More people think there are "barriers" to doing business in Ottawa. The rate was at 74% in July, up from 56% in January.
The survey also gauges businesses' opinions on three issues: Lansdowne Park, LRT and Canada's 150th birthday (aka, Ottawa 2017)
In the recent survey, 50% said the Lansdowne redevelopment will have a "positive" impact on their business. That's up from 42% in the previous survey.
On LRT, 74% said it would have a positive impact on business, up from 59%.
On Ottawa 2017, 62% said the initiative would have a positive impact. Another 28% said it would have no impact. It looks like that's the first time the chamber asked the question.
I'm guessing 109 is a small representation of chamber members. But if Watson is fairly popular with the business crowd, that might tell you why there hasn't been a big business leader throwing his or her hat into the mayoral race.

I know this is probably going to piss a lot of you guys off, but it's something I have been thinking about for a while now so just bare with me...
I've been thinking that Avant may not be here next season, it seems like a typical Eagles move to trade a guy like Avant and sell high to get some kind of value for him (i.e a draft pick, package him in a trade for another trade etc.).
The support...
For the support I'd like to take Greg Lewis into consideration. Lewis was our teams slot guy up until Avant took over, Lewis was a guy who'd move outside from time to time to fill in like Avant does.. Lewis like Avant was very good at his job. Here a look at Lewis:
Years in Philly: 6 years.
2003- 11 games, 0 starts, 6 catches for 95 yards and 0 TD's
2004- 16 games, 3 starts, 17 catches for 183 yards and 0 TD's. Also added 4 rushes for 16 yards and 0 TD's.
*2005- 16 games, 16 starts, 48 catches for 561 yards and 1 TD. He also added 2 rushes for 13 yards and 0 TD's.
2006- 16 games, 3 starts, 24 catches for 348 yards and 2 TD's.
2007- 15 games, 1 start, 13 catches for 265 yards and 3 TD's.
2008- 16 games, 0 starts, 19 catches for 247 yards and 1 TD.
Now I realize Lewis was sometimes the 4th WR, but for the most part he was the guy who played in the slot and who's role resembles that of Avant's... In '07 and '08 Avant was the slot WR from what I remember.. But to fully understand what I'm talking about let's look at Avants stats:
Years in Philly: 6 years
2006- 8 games, 3 starts, 7 catches for 68 yards and 1 TD.
2007- 15 games, 5 starts, 23 catches for 267 yards and 2 TD's.
2008- 15 games, 6 starts, 32 catches for 377 yards and 2 TD's.
2009- 16 games, 9 starts, 41 catches for 587 yards and 3 TD's.
2010- 16 games, 3 starts, 51 catches for 573 yards and 1 TD.
So with both of their stats you can see very similar production from both players, Avant has produced a little more than Lewis did, and he's been a monster in the Playoffs too.. We got a 5th round pick in return for Lewis, I could see the Eagles sending Avant to a WR needy team like the Panthers, Redskins, Bills, Bengals, Jaguars, Bears, and the Rams for decent pick in 2012, or packaging him with another player and trading him for a much higher pick.
The future?
Well as of now the only WR's I see who could step in at slot for us would be Chad Hall and Riley Cooper. Here's their stats from their rookie seasons:
8 games, 1 start, 11 catches for 111 yards and 1 TD. He also added 9 rushes for 29 yards with 0 TD's.
13 games, 2 starts, 7 catches for 117 yards and 1 TD.
A quick look at both players would show that they're both following the production of Lewis and Avant so far, however we see Cooper more as the pure WR where as Hall's pretty much that gadget player Andy always likes to have.. If we were to trade Avant and promote from within I'd place my money on Cooper being the guy in the Slot because of his size (6'3, 222lb's) and speed (4.52 40 time) while Chad remains the 4th WR and gadget guy.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
If the Purple Wall becomes a popular destination crag, you can always retreat to the Maybird East Side, just so long as you brought your trad rack. These routes are in the sun until around 2 hours before sunset, and there was hardly a breeze. The rock quality here is superficially good, but sounds pretty hollow when thumped. Still, the Maybird East Side offers three moderate traditional routes that are all about having fun.
Getting There
Follow the approach to the Purple Wall. From the remnants of the stone huts, a dirt trail traverses across a rocky slope. Be careful, erosion happens quickly here. There are a few cairns that guide you up and around to the base of this area. A large pine tree grows out of the top of the arete. Tack on an additional 3 minutes to the Purple Wall approach.

Bridgewater College Sees Record Enrollment for 2013-2014
Enrollment at Bridgewater College is higher than at any other time in its history, with the college's office of institutional research reporting a full- and part-time student enrollment of 1,849.
Enrollment at Bridgewater in 2012 was 1,760 full- and part-time students.
"Bridgewater's record enrollment is the result of an enterprise-wide effort to recruit, enroll and retain quality students who seek a challenging academic environment coupled with a supportive, close knit community," said Reggie Webb, vice president for enrollment management at Bridgewater. "We've targeted our traditional local and state markets as well as prospective students in the Mid-Atlantic region, and have basically renewed our efforts to solidify the local recruiting base while extending our outreach to highly qualified students in surrounding areas."
Webb also noted that, while many regions are experiencing declining high-school graduation rates, Virginia continues a steady climb in those numbers.
"While we face continued pressure from state schools seeking increased enrollment, our strong liberal arts academic program provides both challenge and value to today's students," said Webb. "We also offer a competitive price value for the Bridgewater College experience."
He added that Bridgewater's record enrollment this year is a result of "consecutive years of meeting freshman enrollment goals." Webb praised the college's commitment and what he said was an extraordinary effort from the admissions team, faculty, alumni and staff.
Figures released by the college reveal that women make up 55 percent of the freshman class while 76 percent of incoming students are white. Other ethnicities represented in the freshman class are blacks/African Americans, 10 percent; Hispanics, 2 percent; multiracial, 6 percent; and Asian, 1 percent.
Of the 536 first-time freshmen arriving at Bridgewater in 2013, 76 percent are residents of Virginia. Four percent of these students claim they are affiliated with the Church of the Brethren, upon which the college was founded.
The top five academic majors among freshmen at BC are biology, business administration, psychology, health and exercise science, and athletic training.

7 Lucky Foods for New Year's Eve
There's lot of things you can do to guarantee an awesome 2012, but the easiest thing starts with eating right. Make sure these foods are included in your holiday spread to welcome the new year. I wonder if someone out there will be making a burrito of all the following goodies. That would be a great way to get everything in, in one bite.
Enjoy, you superstitious #foodbeasts:
- Greens such as lettuce are supposedly eaten on New Year's Eve because they resembles money and prosperity. For you paper chasers, you might want to get into some salad!
- Beans also resemble money but specifically coins. If your NYE is a bust, shake it on over to some 24-hour Mexican joint and order up a bean burrito.
- Fish is not only lucky because there is an abundance of it but the scales also represent wealth. Scale me up!
- Fruit such as figs represent fertility. Keep me multiplying! Or, if you're looking for some additional birth control, maybe just skip on those Fig Newtons this year.
- Noodles and grains symbolize longevity. Don't skimp on the chow mein this year!
- Pork is especially lucky because they "root forward and are rotund." Damn, to clog my arteries or have good luck? Decisions, decisions.
- Cake is often eaten on New Year's because it's a symbol of indulgence and that's key for healthy stress relief.
Unlucky New Years eats include chicken because "they could fly away with your luck" and lobster because "they walk backwards." So just because you can splurge on some expensive lobster, doesn't necessarily mean you should.
Have a happy, safe, and prosperous 2012!
