- dining roomrukazapDined on 8/29/2014It's like dining room in Soviet kids camp! The place is crowdy, people sitting one on each other. The noise is awful!
- Lovely room, average foodOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/29/2014After seeing the Guastavino exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York, we decided that we should eat here. The appetizers were very good, we had fried clams and fried oysters. The rest of the meal was just ok. Not terrible, but not fabulous. We had the ceasar with lump crabmeat salad, ad the grilled catfish with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were not good, too dry and had an off taste. Maybe these weren't the best choices for this place, perhaps the raw bar offerings would have been better...The room is quite spectacular and we had a good time regardless. The service started off pretty slow, it took some time before our waiter showed up to take our drink orders, but after that it was fine.Special Features:
- Old-school oyster barliamthekidDined on 8/29/2014My wife and I took the train into Grand Central specifically to sample the wide variety of oyster types on an incredible full and daily changing menu. From this aspect it did not disappoint, from its' plentiful selection of both East and West Coast visuals, making this a premier, notable destination for lovers of the delectable bivalve. The ambiance is on the rough side, with its' cavernous, echoing, underground setting, it's a bit claustriphobic, but this is exactly as advertised. Come for the daily rotation of featured oysters - if I was a commuter, I'd be in trouble . . .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fair to middlingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014Gazpacho was good, lobster salad was made with not fresh lobster it was dry. Oysters on the half shell were perfect, some of the best I have had. Too noisy for dining more of a disciplined party atmosphere. Not bad just boisterous. Service was fair. Dessert was wrong. Ordered one thing and another came tot the table. Besides the oysters, I would not put this restaurant on my need to return list.Special Features:
- A place to visit when in NYCOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/29/2014The Oyster Bar is the place to go for great seafood and a vibrant environment, a very good wine list specially in the whites, perfect to pair with the fish and the oysters, located in a NYC landmark as the Central Station it's a great experience overall.Special Features:
- KGM1Dined on 8/27/2014The lobster role was delicious! A bit hard to choose as all are quite pricey. It was convenient to Grand Central and then on to the theater.Special Features:
- Beautiful placeLuvnyuDined on 8/25/2014Loved the place and the food, but a lot to desired w the serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PuppyDined on 8/22/2014The GCOB is always great. We're so glad it's open again, and the service seems much improved. We recommend going early for dinner, as it gets very noisy and busy.Special Features:
- Clam stew & creme caramel very goodmarleyjuneDined on 8/21/2014I dined alone, spur of the moment, early evening, first time here. Was greeted warmly, seated immediately, and pleased to see non-alcoholic beer on the menu (Beck's). Menu is huge, bit much for someone there on a trial basis and not an oyster/seafood aficionado. Most was too expensive for my "just trying it out" budget, so I looked to Stews and Pan Roasts; there are several. I chose Cherrystone clam stew and it was tasty. It came with a small biscuit, which was impressively warm, and crackers. I finished with Creme Caramel dessert, also very good. I would give 5 stars if I hadn't been visited by a persistent fly, which dined several minutes on a cracker on my bread plate. When I mentioned it to the manager he was "sorry" but kind of blase.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite Lunch SpotwiedVIPDined on 8/20/2014We use the bar, which is intimate, casual, you can order a drink: but of course the best part is the seafood. We had crab cakes. Wow, you just can't get better crab cakes, more crab than cake, and a super sauce, anywhere in the world. The best. You also can't beat the central location. GSWSpecial Features:
- nice place, good foodCarlindaDined on 8/20/2014we had smoked fish appetizers and soup (new england and manhatten clam chowder) and fried. Everything was very good and the service was prompt. the iced tea was refreshing. It's not that easy to find unsweetened, brewed iced tea in Manhatten. The restaurant is very beautiful with nice tile everywhere. You can skip the waiter service and sit at a counter (plenty of room, large counter) and get sandwiches like lobster roll and oyster poor boy. I recommend this for a more affordable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BIG DISSAPOINTMENTOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014I guess we had great expectations, beeing such an icon in NYC... It was extremely expensive. We have had better selection of oysters (and fresher, too!) elsewhere, for a fraction of the price. It was the low point in our visit to New York...
- Not impressedgoodfoodDined on 8/15/2014We had reservations at 6:30 on a Friday night. We were seated promptly and had a good table. We ordered the oysters on the half shell. They came, but there was shell in almost every one. The New England chowder was just so-so. The fish and chips was alright. The fish was Pollock. I had the fried oysters which were small and without moisture, They were tasteless and not succulent like they are supposed to be. Maybe they were made ahead of time and reheated. The sliced fried potatoes were dry and rubbery. They were left on the plate. I'm sorry that we went as the bill was over $100.00 Never again. Don't bother.
- It's a spot for TouristsMiloDined on 8/15/2014Great to visit for its architecture and the station's history. Oysters were good, but the rest of the menu was so so.Special Features:
- lexnlidoDined on 8/14/2014A classic revived. Nothing can match the classic New York eatery located in the magnificent landmark Grand Central Station. The menu is also classical seafood with an unmatched selection of oysters. I also had their delicious New England clam chowder (still great even though it was not hot enough). The old Oyster Bar was a bit dark and dingy but they have done a wonderful job sprucing it up without changing the ambiance . New Yorkers and visitors should not miss the experience.Special Features:
- Fun to tryJudeDined on 8/14/2014Went for lunch on several peoples recommendations. It's a fun place to try and am glad I did go. Food was reasonably priced and the fresh oysters met expectations. Had the chefs choice of eight - a pair of four different kinds. All were succulent, not too Britney, and very fresh. Definitely go for this one. Manhattan chowder was delicious. Downside is the noise! Way too noisy to have a decent conversation, likely due to the cavernous nature of the place. Oysters Rockerfeller were quite disappointing - far too much spinach, very tiny oyster and over cooked. Would not recommend them.Special Features:
- NoisylonneatingDined on 8/12/2014Far too noisy. Waiter too busy and food besides from shellfish and oyster was boring and tasteless.Special Features:
- Bland and OverpricedCeciVIPDined on 8/12/2014The Oyster Bar is like an old relative you feel obligated to visit now and again, engenders old, good memories, but leaves you feeling disappointed afterwards. The food is mediocre at best and for the high prices there are so many better alternatives.
- Not Happy to be DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/12/2014I have eaten at the Oyster Bar off and on for over 20 years. My most recent experience -- lunch this week -- was mediocre at best. The reservation system was fine. The general ambiance was fine. Now to the food and service: the appetizer portions were too small for the price. The entrees took more than a half an hour to be served and it was not a packed house. One entree, the "Jumbo Shrimp Salad" had only two or three shrimp in it. The waffle fries were not hot. My wife and I both were surprised at how utterly bitter the kale was -- and I've eaten and grown kale before. We enjoyed our company and lunch, but overall, felt that we could have had a better lunch somewhere else for the $204 (including tip) for a table of four.
- Freshest FishMikenmeDined on 8/11/2014I appreciate the fresh fish and ousters at this well known place. Perfect Service - vegetable could be a little bit more spicy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top foodTucanDined on 8/9/2014We like going to the Oyster bar everytime we visit NY.. outstanding fresh food. Highlights were the oysters (obvoiusly) and the lobster roll...Special Features:
- Iconic placeGdogsdinerDined on 8/9/2014We had been looking forward to visiting this famous NYC establishment since we first planned our trip. We weren't disappointed. The oysters were a delight and all of our fish was cooked well. The ambience is great but if we visited again we'd try a seat at the bar area which looked happy and bustling.Special Features:
- Architectural eye candyOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/9/2014Just sitting there I was continually distracted by the beauty of the place. Food was good; little pricey but not like I'm going there every day. Crossed off my bucket list but would not hesitate to return!Special Features:
- Food is good. Pricey.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/7/2014Food is good- don't expect pretty presentations. Service has always been hit or miss, this time the server was nice and so was the host. We go here because we work in the area and will go back, but for a lobster roll that is $30 I would expect the plate to be a beautiful masterpiece, with not the bottom of the container soaking wet coleslaw, and a sprinkling of French fries. The lobster itself was good, and there was a nice amount, I just expected more over all. My colleagues ordered the fish and chips and were happy with the taste and the size of the fish they received.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/5/2014Our waiter was pretty unfriendly, not smiling once, and basically snarled at our busboy when they both bumped into each other. We all saw it and it was little uncomfortable. We asked if a certain fish could be put on one of their salads and he said no substitutions, and that we could add a salad to our order instead. I'm not sure why I'd want a full salad as well as a main course.
- CwjeVIPDined on 8/2/2014The quality of the food did not match the high prices. Service very good.Special Features:
- Lot of funoldtimerDined on 7/30/2014Took 2 friends to city for day trip. Couldn't have finished our day there any betterSpecial Features:
- food was greatTimBDined on 7/30/2014food was great. waiter was really slow food was great. waiter was really slowSpecial Features:
- Business lunchRHP1955Dined on 7/28/2014I was meeting someone visiting from Hong Kong and who had heard about the oyster bay bar. It was quite disappointing to have a noisy, crowded and low-service lunch at a place that was my gueat's choice. The food was strictly average, the place was cramped, noisy, and rushed. The service was so-so... The server asked a couple of times if my guest would arrive -- they were ten minutes late -- at least three times. Food was strictly passable.
- deliciousEnjoyLifeOf1timeDined on 7/26/2014The waiter service was very bad. But oyster was very nice and fresh. It is recommended that if you intend to eat delicious things.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good oystersErikDined on 7/25/2014Together with My family we visiter oyster bar in match 2012 and had great experience. Last yrar i rekommenderar it to some friends WHO Aldo liked it à LOT. Now Wien returning with My family to new york we decided to pay another visit. We are oyster lovets and youtube oysters are great!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unique experienceGardenStateMikeDined on 7/24/2014I have been aware of the Oyster Bar for many years but have never been, nor has anyone that I know. My son lives in lower Manhatten and I live in New Jersey. I want to meet him for dinner to catch up and suggested we meet there. He is a bit particular about where he goes as many young adults are. Dinner in a train station did not strike him as trendy. Both he and I were pleasantly surprised at our unique one of a kind dining experience. The vaulted tiled ceilings did create a subtle rumble in the room but it quickly transformed to white noise. Our servers were very friendly, helpful, and professional. We shared a plate of oysters as an appetizer. My son had the Sock-eye salmon and I had Alaskan Broiled Cod. I highly recommend this landmark.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014Excellent oysters, but a bit pricey. Service could have been better. Good character but a bit hectic in the middle of the day. Toilet facilities not very well maintained.Special Features:
- Good but noisyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014If you want a quick bite in a boisterous surrounding within a fully-functioning historic building, go here. The food is actually really good. The service is mediocre, but we don't expect much from a place like this.I would recommend this to a friend.
- 100 years plus. Still kickingGreatPlaceDined on 7/23/2014I had oysters which weren't listed on the menu. Enormous! Delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- philfoodDined on 7/21/2014Great oysters - good selection. Service a little slow but pleasant and helpful
- Remodel worth the waitziptalkerDined on 7/19/2014As always the food and service are excellent. Usually we sit at one of the oyster bars or counters, but this is the first time we sat at a table as we came with a group of friends. Friendly neighborhood style service. If you remember this is a train stain restaurant in the grand old commuter tradition, no more no less, then you will love this place. As long as you love seafood! My favorites are an assorted dozen of oysters, an order of fried clams, a scallop PAN ROAST (amazing!!!) and if I'm still hungry then a Tuna sushi grade lightly seared steak to finish it off. Yum!!!Special Features:
- Overpriced and small portionsGrizzzfanVIPDined on 7/18/2014This venerable institution is a good place for a business lunch. The tables are full but it lives on its past laurels. My crab and shrimp caeser had an good amount of crab and a few shrimp, but was a fairly small portion for an entree, filling a smallish dinner plate. The price was $27, which for the portion was high. The caeser dressing was a bit lifeless. I'm not sure what to order here as entrees start around $25.Special Features:
- good to returndiascundDined on 7/17/2014Been a long time and it was good to go back after years of living out of town. Attentive service and great oysters and fresh fishSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Iconic Grand Central StationOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/16/2014Always odd going here as you are dining in a station - places which aren't usually known for gourmet food. The restaurant is very busy with lots of noise (not a place for a work lunch or dinner) and a rushed service. But the food is good, if you strip away those issues. If you are in a group of 6 they will keep you waiting at the reception are until 5 of your party arrive - this is really maddening and a rude way to treat customers.I would recommend this to a friend.

Export Performance and Competitiveness in the Philippines
AbstractAfter decades of weak growth, Philippine manufactured exports have performed impressively in recent years, better than those of most other South East Asian economies. This paper examines the sources of Philippine export dynamism and asks whether the current pace of growth is sustainable. It finds that the competitive base is very narrow, dominated by one product group and, within that, one product (semiconductors). This is a fast growing, high technology product, with great potential for future growth and spillovers; however, Philippines specialises in low-end final assembly and testing, where it is vulnerable to competitive entry and technological change. The paper ends with policy implications.

Chuck Pratt, a Yosemite big-wall pioneer in the 1960s, was a climber's climber and a man of ethics. He was the man in his day. Pratt, along with Royal Robbins and Tom Frost, did the first ascent of the Salathe Wall on El Capitan in 1961, the hardest and baddest big wall route in the world at that time. Chuck, called by Royal Robbins as "the best climber of our generation," was renowned for his off-width prowess. He died in 2000.
"I don't want to write about climbing; I don't want talk about it; I don't want to photograph it; I don't want to think about it; all I want to do is do it."

The London Police Department is investigating the death of an 11-year-old girl.
Early Sunday morning, officers responded to a call at 44 N. Walnut St., where they found 5th grader Hailey Petee dead as a result of self strangulation.
Hailey's mother Melinda Groce told NBC4 that her daughter took her own life because she was bullied on her school bus.
"They pulled her hair. They called her names. They made fun of her because she wore glasses and had ADHD," said Melinda.
Hailey attended London Elementary School. Her mother said she enjoyed drawing and singing. Despite her disability, she enjoyed going to school.
"She was looking forward to joining 4-H this year. She wanted to show guinea pigs. She wanted to work with animals when she grew up," said Melinda through tears.
Melinda said the bullying got so bad that she had to be removed from her daughter's school bus after confronting the driver. She claims the school district did nothing except tell her they would look into it. Melinda said she even changed Hailey's bus to no avail.
"They'll see what they could do to take care of it. That's all I heard, every time," said Melinda
NBC4 contacted London City Schools about the bullying of Hailey. The school district responded with the following statement:
"The London City School District is mourning the tragic loss of the life of Hailey Petee. Hailey was a 5th grade student at London Elementary School. As a faculty we extend our sympathy to Hailey's family and friends. London City Schools will also have grief counselors available for students and staff members.
The school district is cooperating with local law enforcement officials in their investigation. We respect the privacy of the family during this time of bereavement and will refrain from any additional comments."
The family is holding a viewing for Hailey at The Church of Christ and Christian Union at 180 Center Street, London Ohio. It's from 2-8 p.m. on Wednesday. Hailey Petee's funeral is Thursday at 11 a.m. at the same location. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Eberle-Fisher Funeral Home.

Wizards Game 9 Blog: at Atlanta Hawks - Crashing Down
Late game execution was bad and should definitely be discussed......wiith Gilbert Arenas out, the Wizards simply do not have a ball-handling scorer who creates for others with action/penetration. However, in terms of last night's game alone, the Atlanta offensive rebounds and second chance points absolutely killed the Wizards (by my last count, the Hawks had 22 in each category). Limit those, and the game doesn't come down to one possession.

It is a favorite for investors due to the company's incredible growth in dividend payouts. Right now, the stock is paying a return on investment of approximately 8.4% or higher, which is truly impressive compared to other similar companies. Dividends are expected to increase even more as the company continues to expand its fleet and thus overall income and cash flow.
Seadrill dividend profile
SDRL Dividend data by YCharts
Seadrill has turned out to be the best bet for income seekers. Though, in the past five years, it has been able to enlarge its dividends by 46.7%. At the moment, the company offers a quarterly dividend of $0.88 /share, yielding at 8.4%. Its payout ratio based on dividends stands at 71%.
Are the dividends safe?
The company has a presence in all significant offshore regions. It is the second-largest operator and owner of ultra-deepwater units and the largest operator of modern premium jack-up rigs. After the sale of its tender-rig business, the company presents substantial potential to grow its jack-up and ultra-deepwater segments. Seadrill is seeking to grow both segments either organically or through acquisitions.
Recently, the company reported first-quarter results with a record EBITDA of $713 million and net income of $440 million. Its top-line growth is phenomenal as Seadrill is enhancing economic utilization of both floaters and jack-up fleets. This strong top-line growth is backed by its smart investment strategy.
During the quarter, the company secured a two-year extension for the ultra-deepwater semi-submersible rig, West Leo, with projected revenue of $430 million. It also completed the acquisition of the ultra-deepwater semi-submersible rig, Songa Eclipse.
With the improving underlying operational performance in the jack-up and ultra-deepwater segments, as well as new-builds commencing operation, the company anticipates growing its revenue by 8% this year. To top things off, it expects to increase its revenue by 20% as new rigs come online. Additionally, Seadrill has the potential to generate hefty cash flow. In the recent quarter, its free cash flow was standing at $41 million when dividends accounted for only $16 million. I believe it has strong potential to provide sustainable returns for investors.
Its main industry peers are Transocean (NYSE: RIG) and Ensco (NYSE: ESV). Transocean is an international provider of offshore contract drilling services for oil and gas wells. Its deepwater expertise has made it one of the best drillers to capitalize on several offshore drilling technologies. Transocean offers a quarterly dividend of $0.56 /share.
Its revenue growth has been slow over the past few quarters. At the end of the recent quarter, it had generated revenue of approximately $2.2 billion, which is down from last year's quarter of $2.3 billion. Revenue declined due to lower revenue efficiency, mainly on ultra-deepwater floaters. Overall, it is in a stable situation to provide sustainable returns for investors
Transocean has operations all around the globe. The major portion of its revenue comes from Brazil, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Norway. Many regions, like the Pre-Salt region, Gulf of Mexico and Barents Sea in Norway, are presenting plenty of growth opportunities for deepwater and ultra-deepwater drillers over the next decade. These regions have opportunities to boost oil production. This will create positive circumstances for drilling companies. Transocean is one of the best drilling companies to have positioned its fleet to concentrate on difficult environments and ultra-deepwater drilling.
Ensco provides offshore contract drilling services to the international oil and gas industry. Currently, Ensco offers a quarterly dividend of $0.50/share. The company has shown solid financial performance over the years. Recently, it announced Q1 results with 13% growth in overall revenue. The increase was driven by the average day rate and a 6% increase in floater rig days as new rigs were added to the active fleet.
Furthermore, its low-cost business approach results in industry-leading operating margins. In the trailing-12 months, its operating margin stands at 36.6% when the industry average is only 7%. I think Ensco has considerable cost-cutting opportunities on hand, which can increase substantial amounts of value. With a recent 33% increase in dividend, Ensco looks like an attractive choice for investors.
Final notes
Seadrill is one of the best among these three companies. It is making massive investments in growth opportunities. The company is poised to increase its profitability and dividends as its new-build assets are adding additional sources of revenue and income. With the recent massive investments, Seadrill is well positioned to show top-line growth. Along with solid top-line growth, Seadrill is in a stable financial situation to maintain dividends. Its dividends are safe as its free cash flow provides full coverage to its dividends.

Ex-England batsman signs for Bucks
1:24pm Wednesday 11th April 2012 in Sport
BUCKS County Cricket Club have pulled off a major transfer coup by signing experienced former England One-Day International batsman Mal Loye.
The 39-year-old was released by Northamptonshire at the end of last season after a distinguished first-class career in which he amassed over 15,000 runs at an average of 40.
He is renowned for being one of the most consistent batsmen in county cricket over the past 20 years, while he also possess the ability to regularly clear the boundary ropes with ease.
Bucks captain Jason Harrison, who played with Loye as a youngster, was delighted with his new signing.
He said: "Mal is very keen to play for us and is desperate to get back into the first-class game. He is a smashing bloke who will fit into the team well."
Loye was capped seven times by England and top-scored with 36 on his debut against Australia in January 2007, in which he slog-swept Aussie fast bowler Brett Lee for six in arguably the shot of the series.
He made his Championship debut for Northants in 1991, for whom he holds the county's batting record with an astonishing innings of 322 not out against Glamorgan in 1998. During that innings, he also broke the English record for a fourth-wicket partnership in a stand for 401 with David Ripley.
The six-hitter joined Lancashire in 2003 and spent six seasons at the current county champions, topping their scoring charts in 2005. He returned to Northants in 2009 on a two-year deal, which was not renewed last Autumn.
He will make his debut in a one-day friendly for Bucks against Oxfordshire at Aston Rowant on Sunday.

If you'd like to share some kind words and smiles, please ask our front desk staff for a comment card at your next appointment. We'd love to hear about your experience!
Dr. Nguyen and her staff take a special interest in each member of our family. We first visited her practice with an emergency dental situation for our daughter (age three at the time). Dr. Nguyen was extremely patient and dedicated to ensuring our daughter's situation was properly taken care of. We have been under her dental care since then (approx. 2008). Hands down, she is the best dentist we have ever had. We have referred multiple family members and friends to her practice and they have all been equally pleased with the service she provides. Dr. Nguyen and her staff are friendly, competent, and a pleasure to deal with. She provides honest and unbiased dental advice and care. You can always trust her for high quality service. Dr. Nguyen provides a personalized level of care that is very rare in today's fast-paced society. We appreciate the dedication her practice provides to each of our family members. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and her staff to anyone looking for a dentist that they can build a trusted and long-standing relationship with.
Richard W, VA
Our entire family enjoys our visits to see Dr. Nguyen -- even our children actually look forward to them! The staff are great and do their best to not only make our kids feel safe and cared for, but all of us entertained and engaged with fun conversation and banter. Truly, this is the kindest and warmest practice I've ever experienced.
Pete K, VA
I first began the search for a new dentist when my previous dentist had lost what I felt was a personal touch with his patients. As is usual these days, I turned to the Internet as well as my job's work site to find a dentist that was both close to where I lived and that took my dental plan. I quickly narrowed my search down to three local dentists. After interviewing all three, it was very obvious that Riding Plaza Dental Care was the best choice for my family's needs. I have not been disappointed. The staff is fantastic and very friendly. Dr Nguyen, aside from having a very gentle touch and being extremely detail oriented, shows genuine concern for her patients. My young son and my wife, who had been very nervous about dental visits, have no apprehension about visiting the office for their periodic checkups and whatever follow-up treatment may be required. Whenever the subject comes up, I always recommend Dr. Nguyen as my dentist of choice.
James S, VA
I had a severe case of "dental phobia" until I met the great staff at Riding Plaza Dental Care. While I still have a fear of dentists (it's the kid in me), Dr. Nguyen and her team reassures me that everything will be fine every time I visit. My experience with them has been exceptional, and I would recommend Riding Plaza Dental Care to anyone, even those who are afraid of dentists.
Thomas L, MD
I first heard about Riding Plaza Dental Care at one of the South Riding community events and have now been a patient for three years (since 2008). My experience with the office is great; I feel comfortable and well taken care of. I trust Dr. Nguyen with her advice. She is always honest and I never feel pressured to do any additional work. I like that the office always calls twice before each appointment. She and her staff make us feel like family.
My best experience was when my son had his first visit to get his teeth checked at the age of three. Everyone was very patient and he got to watch his favorite shows while in the chair. He is five now and loves to visit his dentist.
I definitely recommend all my friends and family to Riding Plaza Dental Care.
Lamiaa E, VA
Not remembering who referred me, I walked into your office several years ago. Next to the ease of access, I remember a calm feeling after entering your office. I received a pleasant and warm smile accompanied by a soft but confident greeting from your front desk staff. After processing all my personal information I was greeted by Dr. Nguyen, with whom I leisurely walked to the back of the office in conversation.
She explained the preparation taken for my routine checkup with a great deal of confidence and detail, and I was amazed by her ability to convey this information in a manner I could understand. Before I could note the passage of time, Dr. Nguyen had skillfully finished her work and her staff was performing the finishing touches. Wow, what a wonderful experience.
While I have several experiences I can recall, Dr. Nguyen's examination of both of my oldest children stands out the most. My son and daughter had been visiting another dentist and we had been told their teeth were progressing fine. When we made the choice to switch to RPDC for routine visits, Dr. Nguyen noticed a condition in both of their mouths that would have been life changing if not addressed. She recommended a specialist who concurred with her diagnosis. With these issues now addressed, my children are now on track with their growth.
Each of my visits to RPDC has been so consistently pleasant and comforting that I referred my mother there as well; she cannot say enough good things about their professionalism. I must say that Dr. Nguyen and her staff do an outstanding job in maintaining a family-focused environment, and all my children love going to visit them. They are wonderful people.
Thank you Dr. Nguyen and your wonderful staff for your dedication to providing quality care to me and my family. We appreciate your professional work ethic, swift response, extensive knowledge, and attention to detail. Keep up the outstanding work and we'll see you at our next checkup.
Kelvin T, VA
After years of benign neglect I cannot be more pleased with the results that were achieved. I not only thank, but indeed recommend Doc and her staff to anyone who is looking for comprehensive dental care in a relaxed atmosphere.
Dave G, VA
Dr. N (as I call her) has a well-run practice with state-of-the-art equipment and her staff is courteous, friendly, and professional. They will answer all your questions and go the extra mile, if need be. I relish the lack of a frenzied environment at Riding Plaza Dental Care and truly enjoy Dr. N's excellent chairside manner. My family has finally found a place for our dental needs. I heartily recommend RPDC.
Bonnie K, VA
My family and I have been happy patients at RPDC for several years. The office has very flexible hours, and is even open on Saturdays to make scheduling easier. Every time I am there I feel like a welcome guest, not just a patient moving through an assembly line of rooms and people. They are very good at explaining everything clearly before they move along, and Dr. Nguyen is always attentive in making sure that we are well taken care of. She and her staff are very friendly and take the time to get to know you as a person, and not just a number. My family and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dentist.
Tom D, VA

Quick: Wark ruled out for bad-mouthing KP
Quick: Wark ruled out for bad-mouthing KPJason Quick back on the radio on 95.5, says he just talked to Larry Miller, who contradicted Quick's report regarding the GM searc. Miller says the team is looking for an experienced GM, not a newbie. Per Quick, a name to think about is Randy Pfund, former Miami GM, confirmed to be in the mix. Additionally, appears the Blazers will release Gomes on Tuesday. Reason Warkentien was ruled out is because the org got word that he had been bad-mouthing Pritchard, which instantly took him out of the mix.

As Rick Perry continues to meet this week behind closed doors with big-dollar donors, the outline of a blueprint for presidential fundraising continues to take shape. Two political committees with ties to Perry reported fundraising totals over the weekend – and both are top-heavy with wealthy contributors Perry might count on as he assembles a team of financial bundlers to seek the White House. Federal law limits contributions to $2,500. But bundlers can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars by enlisting donations from scores of friends and business associates. Word is the Perry camp is pressing potential donors to commit to raise at least $250,000 each for a Perry presidential run. A group of Wall Street bankers are among those scheduled to travel to Austin this week to meet with Perry.
Perry hasn't announced for president or formed a fundraising committee. But an independent group Americans For Rick Perry reported raising $193,000 over eight days in June, according to its filing with the Federal Election Commission. Most of the money came from reliable Perry donor Harold Simmons of Dallas, who gave $100,000. Simmons won state approval under Perry's administration to build a nuclear waste disposal site in West Texas that experts say could eventually be worth billions of dollars to Simmons. Other contributors to Americans for Rick Perry include $50,000 from Universal Computer Systems, which is headed by major Perry donor Bob Brockman of Houston and $25,000 from Withers Energy Corp., headed by blue-chip Perry backer John Speer of Cypress, Texas. Americans for Rick Perry is promoting Perry's candidacy for president.
Meanwhile, a host of big-dollar Perry supporters show up as contributors in the latest report of the Republican Governors Association. Perry is chairman of the Republican group and has spearheaded fundraising. The big-money donors to the governors group could very well end up as major financial bundlers for Perry. Harold Simmons is one of the big contributors — $250,000. Also, Coppell apartment builder Marcus Hiles with $225,000 and Houston homebuilder Bob Perry with $250,000. The Houston homebuilder is Perry's biggest campaign contributor. The Texas governor (no relation) delivered on a Bob Perry request to create a state agency to curb lawsuits against homebuilders. The Legislature, facing widespread opposition, eventually abolished the homebuilders-protection agency. The biggest donors in the last six months to the Republican Governors Association are David Koch with $1 million, Kentucky pipeline manufacturer Terry Stephens with $1 million and Chicago businessman Kenneth Griffin with $500,000. The Texas likely will be seeking their support should he throw his hat in the race for the White House.

The winter weather has everyone gearing up for the worst, including the companies who will be removing the snow.
"We're just going around checking everything, making sure everything looks good and is operating as it's supposed to," said Corey Coleman, owner for A-Credited Property Services, Inc., in Waterloo.
Coleman spent Tuesday gearing up and getting his fleet of 14 trucks ready for the week's anticipated snowstorm.
His equipment hasn't been tested in the snow this year, but Coleman said he's ready for the snow to start falling so his crews can start plowing.
"We've got over 50 businesses here in town and when they open up Thursday morning, they're expecting we have all the snow removed so that's a lot of pressure and responsibilities on my shoulders," Coleman said.
But after a slow snow season last year, Coleman said he's ready and eager for the winter weather.
"It generates money for the business and a storm this size...it's going to be profitable," he said.

A 40-year-old Flagstaff man faces seven years in prison and lifetime intensive probation after being sentenced for attacking a young girl as she walked home from school.
Julian Earl Tohe was sentenced Wednesday after he previously pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault in the February 2012 attack.
According to the Arizona Daily Sun, the girl said a man stopped her and asked to use her cell phone before grabbing her arm and dragging her into nearby woods.
The man put his hand down the girl's pants, but she was able to run away after biting his tongue when he tried to kiss her.
Tohe had an extensive arrest record that a prosecutor read in court to demonstrate that Tohe is a danger to society.

Welcome to the all new DRays blog. YaGottaBelieve is the old site. I started blogging on the DRays back in December of 2002. Some say I am a Tampa Bay Devil Rays fanatic, but I enjoy seeing the young prospects develop into Major League players. I grew up in the Tampa area seeing first hand the attempts to bring a Major League team to the area. This site will be all about covering the ongoing development of the Tampa Devil Rays franchise. Everyone has opinions and this web site will offer an incredibly easy way to share them. Creating your own article to post is as easy as clicking the "Post New Diary" link at the top of the right sidebar . A diary is a place where you can post thoughts on a certain topic and gather responses, sort of like a message board. If there's something you want to talk about, or a question you want to ask, diaries is the place to do it. Think of this like Sports Radio for the internet. Now, this site may have a similar look and feel to a blog I am sure you have already seen plenty of in Athletics Nation. There are several other team blogs just like this one that have been recently launched.
McCovey Chronicles

Bleed Cubbie Blue
It is my belief that over the next few years, the Devil Rays organization will become a franchise to get excited about. We have seen the first wave of players come thru the system in Huff, Crawford, Rocco, etc. Before the year is out, we will see BJ Upton and Delmon Young in Tampa for good. There is still alot of talent on the horizon. The ownership situation looks promising with Stuart Sternberg slated to over as majority owner in the the not to distant future. I look forward in joining you as the DRays move forward into uncharted territory.

When money gets tight, bringing out your checkbook for monthly bills becomes difficult.
But one group reaches out to those with financial need.
Jackie wrote to 13WMAZ with a question about paying rent.
She wrote, "I went to the Salvation Army for help with my rent, but was told they do not service Monroe County. How can I find out what Salvation Army does?"
The Salvation Army in Macon isn't just ringing up sales.
They're part of a nationwide effort to end financial problems within the community.
"It's the living day to day, as so many people do. It's a matter of their livelihood, whether they can continue," says Salvation Army Development Director, Peggy Steele.
Steele says they help more than 100 people every month pay their rent and utility bills.
"They bought groceries and paid that high utility bill, so they can't pay the rent," Steele says.
She says, after an interview, they look over the reasons for not making that month's rent and determine who they can help.
"There are a lot of reasons why you can't meet that bill, but if it looks as if you'll be able to meet it from then on someone can just help you get back to square one, and catch up again, then that's what we're able to do," she says.
She says they usually have around $5 thousand to shell out, but turn away nearly 30 people everyday.
If you're interested in getting the help, you'll need proof of income, photo identification, a social security number for everyone in the household, and a legitimate reason for not meeting that month's rent.
Steele says any Salvation Army in a community using Georgia Power should provide the rent assistance.
She says at the top of your monthly Georgia Power bill, there's an option to donate toward the cause, she says Georgia Power matches that money and puts it toward Salvation Army rent help.
If you're interested in getting help with your rent, you can call the Salvation Army at 478-746-8572 extension 100 to set up an appointment.

News: Wale Buckles Up For Risky Journey: "Without Risks, You're Just Kicking A Dead Horse"
Wednesday, Nov 7, 2012 11:15AM
Maybach Music Group rapper Wale has already started putting in work for his upcoming third solo album and explained why it is vital he turn into a risk-taker this time around.
Rather than embrace his growth since joining MMG two years ago, Wale said he is taking fans back to his pre-Rick Ross days.
"It probably sounds the most like 100 Miles & Running and a little bit of Attention Deficit. I just wanna show range. I've proven a lot to my peers and to myself and to my fans, so I just want to take it back to something a little bit more exciting, when the music was most exciting to me," Wale told MTV news of the album, which he's hoping to prep for February release. "I've been [swamped with] my own stuff, doing [MMG compilation album] Self Made and all of those things, and I haven't had an opportunity to stand on my own sonically as an artist, as much as I would like. But this new project I've been working on is definitely allowing me to do that." (MTV)
Last fall, Wale's Ambition sophomore LP moved over 160,000 copies in its opening week.

Prior to the ink drying, Rick Ross revealed his interest in building MMG with Wale at the forefront in December 2010.
"I look for next year to be an even bigger year," Ross said in an interview. "We just brought Jah Cure to the team. That's one of the biggest reggae superstars in the game. We just did a deal with that. Look for that first quarter. I'm talking to an artist out of Philly that I think is the future of Philly. Meek Millz, I'm talking to him right now about Maybach Music. As well as I'm talking to Wale." (The Source)
Since joining Maybach Music, Wale has reportedly banked around $5 million.
That competitive nature has set the rapper on a course to stardom, as his recent success shows. Wale grossed over $20,000 per night while performing more than 75 concerts over the past year; his new album, Ambition, provided the soundtrack. Over the past 12 months, he pulled in nearly $5 million, narrowly missing the Hip-Hop Cash Kings list. "I don't want to be one of those guys that you see who made $4 million, invested $3.5 million, and now you work at Wendy's," he says. "I want to get the highest score on Pacman or Frogger ... [and] I want to make sure I'm on the FORBES list in a year or two." (Forbes)

text: Why hasn't anyone mentioned Plexiglass Burress. The guy will be released June 6, and has had 2 years off, so those legs should be fresh. Pexico is another legit WR that is a home state product coming from Lansing, so we get 1 back. He is going to be a FA so we don't have to give up any draft picks and let's face it as long as he hasn't lost those hands of his, he would be a damn fine addition to the roster.He's 6'5" last played at 232, but I'm thinking he will be a little lighter than that and probably more muscle if he worked out in prison. Plexico has better hands than most and could real easily take the pressure off of Megatron and Nate could slide to the slot where he belongs. Well chime in and tell me what you all think.

The Edmonton Oilers added yet another player with connections to head coach Dallas Eakins on Friday morning, when they traded for Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Mark Fraser. Going the other way are minor-league enforcer Cameron Abney and the rights to winger Teemu Hartikainen, currently in the KHL.
At 6'4, 220 pounds, Fraser brings a welcome infusion of size and pushback to the Oilers blueline. The 27-year old is a veteran of 162 NHL games with the Leafs and New Jersey Devils, the team that drafted him in the third round back in 2005. He has over 300 AHL games under his belt, the last 50 of those under Eakins with Toronto Marlies in 2011-13.
Mark Fraser career statistics at HockeyDB
Fraser and Eakins parted company at the end of the lockout, after which the big rearguard not only made the big club out of camp but had a breakout NHL campaign (45 GP, 0-8-8, +18, 85 PiM). He led the Leafs defence corps in hits, blocked shots, penalty minutes and fights while logging 17 minutes a night in a full-time, third-pairing role.
This past summer he was re-signed to a one-year extension at more than double his old pay rate, with a cap hit of $1.275 MM. However, he has slipped down the depth chart in Toronto this season, playing just 19 games (0-1-1, -8, 33 PiM). He was rumoured to be a candidate for waivers once the Leafs needed to make room for a returning David Bolland, and for good reason judging from this detailed analysis of a "train-wreck season" from Leafs/Marlies blogger Jeff Veillette of Leafs Nation. After missing a month early in the season with a knee injury, in more recent times he's become a "coach's decision", dressing for just one game since December 17.
That's one more game than the Oilers were ever going to see from Abney. Edmonton spent a third round pick on the gigantic winger back in 2009, then invested a three-year entry contract in 2011. He managed just 18 AHL games in that time, and has spent all of the current campaign with Bakersfield Condors in the ECHL. No doubt the 22-year-old's inclusion in this trade was as "a contract going the other way" as he was surely not going to be renewed this summer in any event.
Hartikainen on the other hand is a power forward who managed to appear in over 50 games for the Oilers before bolting for the KHL this past season. Still just 23, he may yet have NHL aspirations and is a decent acquisition for the Leafs as a future.
Related: Hartikainen leaves Oilers for KHL (2013 June)
Fraser is more a "here and now" addition for the Oilers. Expect him to draw into the line-up during the upcoming four-game road trip, perhaps as early as tomorrow morning's affair in Boston against whom he played four playoff games last spring before suffering a gruesome injury when he was drilled in the forehead by a puck.
The newcomer doesn't exactly meet Craig MacTavish's identified preference for puck-moving defenders. He's more of a Mark Fistric type, a no-nonsense stay-at-home rearguard who moved on from the Oilers last summer only to find a permanent home with the first-place Anaheim Ducks, with whom he signed a three year extension earlier this week. Oilers hadn't really replaced Fistric's player type, until now. Or Ladi Smid's for that matter.
Fraser is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end. He'll be playing for a contract after one year in the seven-figure club, so one can anticipate he will be highly motivated. Given the cost — two players apparently not in Edmonton's plans, plus the tail end of an expiring contract — it seems a reasonable bet. He'll fill a short-term need on the club and is young enough that a future contract renewal is not out of the question. First, however, he's got up to 26 games to prove himself.
The new arrival gives the Oilers nine defencemen on the active roster, although Andrew Ference hasn't played since last Friday due to a head injury and could be placed on injured reserve until he's ready. Once Ference returns, expect a move at the bottom of the roster, where none of Corey Potter, Philip Larsen or Anton Belov is safe. Nick Schultz, meanwhile, is widely touted as the sort of veteran-with-expiring-contract that should have value at the trade deadline, or before for that matter.
Fraser will become the 40th man to wear the blue-and-orange this season, matching the 2009-10 team for the most players in the current century. With a third of the season to come, including the trade deadline, the franchise record of 43 (1993-94 and 1997-98) is in serious jeopardy. Whatever else Oilers fans might want to say about Craig MacTavish, he can't be accused of standing still.

For the last few years there has been a new Christmas event that is becoming more and more popular with boat owners, and land lovers alike.
On Saturday November 24 will be the 26th annual Christmas Boat Parade, and the Panama City beach Police department aren't wasting any time getting their boat ready for the big night. With nearly two thousand lights this boat will be ready to be apart of the floating lights.
This is the first year Stg. Emily Melton has been apart of the parade, and wants to do her best to represent Panama City Beach.
"I think that everybody will be happy, I think that everybody's boats are going look gorgeous, hopefully we will place up there high, and hopefully it will turn out very well, says Melton.

made some preliminary alterations to the four wards at its August 2 meeting, The Mercury is reporting.
The committee, comprised of citizens and borough officials from each ward, is charged with the task of balancing the population in the wards; which effectively means siphoning over 1,000 residents from the North Ward and redistributing them to the Middle, East, and West—leaving each with as close to 4,100 as possible.
At the body's most recent meeting, they bandied about a few ideas for redrawing the borough. Their stated objective is to do so as conservatively as possible, with an eye on keeping common areas together. Here's, at the moment, what they're thinking:
- Mowere Road was proposed as the dividing line between the North and West wards.
- An L-shaped region that stretches from west of Starr Street and south down to 5th Avenue would be moved from the East to the Middle Ward.
- A chunk of the West Ward, east of Bridge Street, would be moved into the East Ward.

The Florida Department of Health in counties across Central Florida are reminding families to be safe when enjoying fresh water activities during the summer months. Everyone should take precautions while swimming in warm freshwater lakes, rivers and ponds due to the threat posed by the amoeba Naegleria fowleri.
During the 6th annual Tobacco Free Florida Week, April 21-27, the Florida Department of Health in Lake County and Tobacco Free Florida are emphasizing the importance of teamwork with health professionals to help smokers quit for good. Team Up to Quit is a statewide effort to raise awareness of the resources available to help Floridians quit tobacco.
The majority of pediatric Clostridium difficile infections, which are bacterial infections that cause severe diarrhea and are potentially life-threatening, occur among children in the general community who recently took antibiotics prescribed in doctor's offices for other conditions, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published this week in Pediatrics.
A recent CDC study shows that more health promotion efforts may be needed to educate young people about the potential health dangers of consuming energy drinks. Energy drinks contain caffeine that ranges from 50 mg to 500 mg per can or bottle (compared with the average can of cola that has 35 mg), as well as other ingredients aimed at boosting energy. When used in excess, they can cause health problems such as elevated blood pressure and dehydration because of their high caffeine content. The American Academy of Pediatrics in 2011 recommended against energy drink intake by adolescents given their possible adverse health effects.
Motor vehicle crash deaths among children age 12 and younger decreased by 43 percent from 2002-2011; however, still more than 9,000 children died in crashes during that period, according to a new Vital Signs report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Research has shown that using age- and size-appropriate child restraints (car seats, booster seats, and seat belts) is the best way to save lives and reduce injuries in a crash. Yet the report found that almost half of all black (45 percent) and Hispanic (46 percent) children who died in crashes were not buckled up, compared to 26 percent of white children (2009-2010).
Walking is good for your health, and it's good for the environment too. But before you head out on foot for a stroll, power walk, or errand, there are important safety tips to remember.
The University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Extension in Lake County is hosting classes in Tavares and Umatilla on arthritis pain management.
Tobacco control efforts are having a major impact on Americans' health, a new analysis of lung-cancer data suggests. The rate of new lung cancer cases decreased among men and women in the United States from 2005 to 2009, according to a report in this week's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Farxiga (dapaglifozin) tablets to improve glycemic control, along with diet and exercise, in adults with type 2 diabetes.
The Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, covering the period 1975–2010, showed death rates for lung cancer, which accounts for more than one in four cancer deaths, dropping at a faster pace than in previous years. The recent larger drop in lung cancer deaths is likely the result of decreased cigarette smoking prevalence over many years, and is now being reflected in mortality trends.
The presence of a specific type of gut bacteria correlates with rheumatoid arthritis in newly diagnosed, untreated people. The finding suggests a potential role for the bacteria in this autoimmune disease.
Chelation treatments reduced cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks, and death in patients with diabetes but not in those who did not have diabetes, according to analyses of data from the National Institutes of Health-funded Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT). However, researchers say more studies are needed before it's known whether this promising finding leads to a treatment option.
Researchers identified 11 new genes that affect the risk for Alzheimer's disease. The findings point to novel targets for preventing or delaying the disease.
Researchers have begun the first definitive, large-scale clinical trial to investigate if a vitamin D supplement helps prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in adults who have prediabetes, who are at high risk for developing type 2. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the study is taking place at about 20 study sites across the United States.
The percentage of U.S. middle and high school students who use electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, more than doubled from 2011 to 2012, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
More than 200,000 preventable deaths from heart disease and stroke occurred in the United States in 2010, according to a new Vital Signs report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than half of these deaths happened to people younger than 65 years of age, and the overall rate of preventable deaths from heart disease and stroke went down nearly 30 percent between 2001 and 2010, with the declines varying by age.
Twentieth-century advances in protecting and promoting health among older adults have provided many opportunities for overcoming the challenges of an aging society. The health indicators presented in The State of Aging and Health in America 2013 highlight these opportunities. By working to meet the goals for each of these key indicators, our nation can help to ensure that all of its citizens can look forward to living longer and living well.
Breastfeeding rates have continued to rise over the past decade, according to data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The percent of babies breastfeeding at six months increased from 35 percent in 2000 to 49 percent in 2010. The percent of babies breastfeeding at 12 months also increased from 16 percent to 27 percent during that same time period. The data show that babies who started breastfeeding increased from 71 percent in 2000 to 77 percent in 2010.
Residents of the South regardless of race, and blacks throughout the United States, have lower healthy life expectancy at age 65, according to a report in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is a population health measure that estimates expected years of life in good health for people at a given age.
Here's yet another reason to get off the couch: new research findings suggest that regularly breaking a sweat may lower the risk of having a stroke.
A stroke can occur when a blood vessel in the brain gets blocked. As a result, nearby brain cells will die after not getting enough oxygen and other nutrients. A number of risk factors for stroke have been identified, including smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and being inactive.
Heat-related deaths and illness are preventable yet annually many people succumb to extreme heat. Historically, from 1979-2003, excessive heat exposure caused 8,015 deaths in the United States. During this period, more people in this country died from extreme heat than from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes combined. In 2001, 300 deaths were caused by excessive heat exposure.
The number of prescription painkiller overdose deaths increased five fold among women between 1999 and 2010, according to a Vital Signs report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While men are more likely to die of a prescription painkiller overdose, since 1999 the percentage increase in deaths was greater among women (400 percent in women compared to 265 percent in men). Prescription painkiller overdoses killed nearly 48,000 women between 1999 and 2010.
Researchers, as well as health care providers and consumers, can now see the ingredients listed on the labels of about 17,000 dietary supplements by looking them up on a website. The Dietary Supplement Label Database, free of charge and hosted by the National Institutes of Health, is available at www.dsld.nlm.nih.gov.
A large-scale genomic analysis found that non-inherited mutations in hundreds of genes together account for about 1 in 10 cases of severe congenital heart defects. The findings bring us closer to understanding the most common type of birth defect.
A study of public pools done during last summer's swim season found that feces are frequently introduced into pool water by swimmers. Through the study, released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers found germs in samples of pool filter water collected from public pools.

NBC pumps up for 'Gladiators' redo
[size=12pt]NBC pumps up for 'Gladiators' redo[/size]
Competition show revived for midseason
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER, JOSEF ADALIAN
NBC is getting into the ring with "American Gladiators," which has been revived by the Peacock for midseason.
The competition skein -- which featured players with names like Nitro, Turbo and Laser in its campy, early '90s syndie incarnation -- will be updated for the 21st century with new technology and twists. MGM TV, which was behind the original hit, is producing along with Reveille.
Peacock's interest in the revival actually predates the arrival of NBC Entertainment/Universal Media Studios co-chairman Ben Silverman, who began developing the project while still in charge of Reveille. Net confirmed last month that "Gladiator" was a priority at the net (Daily Variety, July 16).
"We've been circling around this property for a long time now," said Craig Plestis, exec VP of alternative programming, development and specials at NBC Entertainment. "It's truly what's not in the TV landscape right now. While everyone's zigging, I'm attracted to doing a zag."
Net wouldn't confirm the episodic order, but at least six segs are believed to be in the works. NBC could opt to launch the show as a one-week strip -- similar to how it bowed "Deal or No Deal" -- or as a weekly skein.
Airing in syndication from 1989-96, "American Gladiators" focused on physically fit amateur athletes who competed against the show's regulars (action stars, stunt professionals and pro athletes) in various physical strength and endurance competitions.
The show hit it big by showcasing David vs. Goliath-style battles in events such as the Joust, the Wall, the Eliminator and Hang Tough. Coincidentally, the original "Gladiators" shot its first several seasons at Universal Studios.
Plestis said he was particularly interested in the original U.K. version of "Gladiators," which focused even more on the characters and the behind-the-scenes stories of common folk going up against the show's powerful stars. The new "Gladiators," he said, "will have the scale, scope, different characters and family drama that the U.K. version had."
"We're not going to completely reinvent the wheel here," he said. "But we're making it better, faster and stronger."
Thanks to Josdin for the awesome sig!
Re: NBC pumps up for 'Gladiators' redo
I used to love that show.
I'd setup an entire arena in my parents basement when I was a kid with nerf guns and balls and have gladiator tourneys with my neighbor friends.
With that said, I've watched some reruns recenetly and really struggled to find what I found enjoyable with the show.
Oh well, I'm sure a newer more modernized one will be just like old times.

I bet the new version will be pretty sweet.

License Denied to Late Term Abortionist Martin Haskell
Contact: Paula Westwood, Executive Director,
Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati
, 859-391-0558,
CINCINNATI, Jan. 21, 2014 /
Christian Newswire
/ -- Sharonville Ohio's dirty stigma as an abortion city is lifted! The Ohio Department of Health has denied notorious late term abortionist, Martin Haskell, a license to operate his Women's Med Center abortion facility in this city.
"It is past time this abortion business was denied operations, for the health and wellbeing of this community and beyond, but even more for the little lives saved and for women's safety," said Paula Westwood, Executive Director, Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati. "Cincinnati Right to Life has been working for years to this end. Even if Haskell should appeal to the courts, his days of operation in this area are numbered."
Martin Haskell is known nationwide as a leading proponent of the gruesome partial birth abortion procedure. He has been performing abortions for months in Sharonville without a license, and without a transfer agreement or variance (exception) required of ambulatory surgical facilities in Ohio to cover patient emergencies at an area hospital.
The Women's Med Center is one of two abortion providers in Greater Cincinnati, together with Planned Parenthood responsible for the deaths of at least 2,500 unborn babies per year, and the emotional and spiritual devastation of their mothers and fathers.
Haskell has been targeting women and their babies for abortion in Greater Cincinnati and the tri-state area since the early 1970s. In November 2010, pediatrician Dr. Stephen Brinn exposed Haskell's move from Jefferson Road in Cincinnati to Sharonville next to Dr. Brinn's practice, initiating a public outcry in this family-friendly community.
Cincinnati Right to Life has focused on closing the Women's Med Center on every front possible -- with grassroots pro-life citizens, pregnancy care centers, interfaith on-site prayer participants and sidewalk counselors, government officials, Operation Rescue, Ohio Right to Life and countless more.
Thank you to each and everyone who has worked and prayed for this decision!
Established in 1971, Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati is the largest Right to Life chapter in Ohio and a primary force for grassroots pro-life awareness locally, statewide, and sometimes nationally -- working to establish a life-affirming culture by organizing legislative efforts, encouraging pro-life candidates and office holders, and monitoring public and private entities' decisions and practices affecting life issues.

"Shut Up and Drive" (2007): Yes, the Good Girl Gone Bad era gave Rihanna her second and third #1 hits, "Umbrella" and "Take a Bow," but both of those videos were, well, kind of pedestrian. Proving that sometimes the lower-charting songs are more interesting than the hits, "Shut Up and Drive" features a hot-pants-wearing RiRi in a wacky chop-shop in Prague, getting all Grease-y on a gold-plated Ford Sierra with a colorful troupe of backup dolls. Pure class!
Rihanna's 7 Best Videos: Shut Up And Watch
Nov 9th, 2012 // 3 Comments
I usually whole heartedly agree with Idolator's "top lists", but not including "umbrella" on a list of rihanna's best music videos is criminal. i mean, "shut up and drive" over "umbrella"? what were you thinking. I think the list needs an adjustment.
