Wendy's/Arby's Group (NYSE: WEN) is taking the Wendy's restaurant slogan "Quality is Our Recipe" to a new level – this time, with all-natural French fries in test markets.
And interestingly, the new recipe comes at a time when Wendy's French fries are already popular. A recent Zagat survey ranked Wendy's fries fourth best, behind McDonald's (NYSE: MCD), Five Guys and In-N-Out Burger.
So why would Wendy's make the change to an already successful snack? Simple: The move comes amid a flurry of other menu changes at fast-food restaurants that push for higher quality, healthful and natural ingredients.
Here are the details on the natural fries, and which Wendy's test markets are offering them:
The snack consists of skin-on strips of real potato, cooked in special oil and are topped with sea salt. The oil is used specifically for cooking these new fries, and Wendy's has even passed up table salt for the more natural evaporated sea salt. Wendy's is currently testing the fries, in Florida, North Carolina and Louisiana,
The all natural French fries are just one tweak to Wendy's menu, which seems poised for change. Currently, new hamburger patties and chicken items are being tested in other parts of the country. Almost all of the changes are intended to offset perceptions of processed, greasy foods and provide consumers with healthy and natural options.
This strategy is playing out across fast food franchises nationwide. Some of the push involves simply raising awareness of existing products — such as Wendy's ads mentioning its "fresh, never-frozen beef" – and other moves like a healthy kids breakfast at Burger King (NYSE: BKC) are new creations meant to win the seal of approval from calorie-conscious consumers.
It helps that these offerings are mighty tasty, too. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive for Wendy's new French fries. Company spokesman Denny Lynch told reporters, "customers do perceive a difference." The new combination of fresh potatoes, special oil and natural salt has officials cautiously optimistic. "The thickness, the natural cut, the sea salt … the skin on, we like; the oil, we like. We like what we see," Lynch said.
Burger King has also made large strides this summer by with its healthy breakfast options for kids including muffin sandwiches with apple slices and calcium-fortified apple juice. They even began selling their new apple fries in supermarkets nationwide, after selling 29 million servings in the first year.
Fast-food giant McDonald's has stepped up its game as well on the healthy breakfast front, offering fruit and maple oatmeal on its breakfast menu. The 260 calorie meal contains just four grams of fat and is sprinkled with sliced apples, raisins, golden raisins, craisins and a hint of maple. A nice option for those who may not be hungry for a greasy sausage biscuit first thing in the morning.
Lest you think this health-conscious approach is all about the consumer, it's worth noting that the move at Wendy's is driven by the bottom line. Wendy's stock has not performed particularly well as of late, and is down -12.4% since January. The fast-food purveyor has missed earnings estimates for the past three quarters, including a -41% disappointment two quarters ago. A net profit margin of just 1.2% doesn't exactly have company officials jumping for joy either.
A successful rebranding of a core product like French fries could revitalize sales – and thus prop up struggling WEN stock.
Wendy's will find out in the next few months whether their push for all natural French fries affects their stock price. In a time when healthier fast-food options are becoming more prevalent, the move should only boost customer satisfaction.
If the fries are really as good as some are leading on, there may be a new name atop Zagat's French fry survey in 2011, and Wendy's shareholders might have more to brag about than just old fashioned hamburgers.

Healthy Babies Minnesota: A Q&A with State Health Officer Edward Ehlinger
Jan 12, 2012, 4:52 PM, Posted by NewPublicHealth
Healthy Babies Minnesota is an umbrella of activities aimed at using prenatal and first-year initiatives to make Minnesotans healthier throughout their lives. NewPublicHealth spoke with Edward Ehlinger, MD, the state's commissioner of health, about the program.
Today marks the start of the regional Infant Mortality Summit, kicking off a collaborative, multi-State initiative to improve infant health outcomes. NewPublicHealth will feature some innovative programs and initiatives to support healthy babies this week.
NewPublicHealth: What are key initiatives that make up Healthy Babies Minnesota?
Dr. Ehlinger: We have a lot of activities related to pregnancy, prenatal care, preconception care and early childhood care; and so we're collaborating on all of those. We also have a Children's Cabinet that's focusing on early childhood growth and development. We're also really focusing on adverse childhood experiences. We're collecting information across the state on what's happening to babies in the first year of life, adverse childhood experiences, to make sure that we prevent those or can intervene quickly. And we're also really focusing on preconception care. Trying to make sure that women who are anticipating becoming pregnant will focus on all of the important issues—make sure their weight is normal, their blood sugars are under control, if necessary, that they're not smoking, they're not drinking.
NPH: And what is the next set of ideas for 2012?
Dr. Ehlinger: We formed a task force during the last legislative session and we've been really working on improving birth outcomes. The task force is looking for ways to help prevent low birth weight babies, and they're going to be making a recommendation to the legislature shortly. We'll be focusing a lot of our attention on those recommendations.
NPH: From your perspective, why is the first year of life so pivotal?
Dr. Ehlinger: The data show that if you don't have a good start, you're going to be in trouble for the rest of your life. The birth weight is certainly one of the big predictors of health in early childhood, and we really have good amount of data showing that if you experience adverse childhood experiences in that first year of life, you'll have major impacts down the road. So this is the point in time where you get the biggest bang for your buck for any interventions—for education, for health and for just general social well-being.
NPH: Many hospitals in Massachusetts and a few other states have announced recently that they will no longer allow elective cesareans before 39 weeks. Is that something that has come up as an issue in Minnesota as well?
Dr. Ehlinger: Yes, that's certainly been part of the conversations, and I know that the data are showing that if you don't allow elective C-sections before 39 weeks it lowers the rates of low birth weight births. Some of the hospitals and health plans have already implemented the change voluntarily, and we'll see what the task force does in terms of making policy recommendations on the issue.
NPH: What are some of your other priority areas for the year in addition to the first year of life?
Dr. Ehlinger: We're trying to expand the whole concept of primary care, to do community-oriented primary care as a way of integrating medical care, social services and public health services, recognizing that right now we have these cylinders of excellence. We've got the medical field providing great medical care and public health services providing their thing and social services doing their important work, but all pretty independently. As I looked around the world, the places that really have the best outcomes, both for children but also for adults, is where they integrate medicine, public health and social services.
NPH: What is an example of the concept in action?
Dr. Ehlinger: Well, I would hearken back to what we did with Title V from the Social Security Act, maternal and child health activities back in the 80s where we had the children and youth programs take a community-oriented approach, and they target areas of the city, not target populations.
They would look at housing issues and transportation issues and nutrition issues and child care issues and education issues in addition to the medical care issuesand they would have a team approach. They'd have the social workers and the nutritionists and the occupational therapists and the child development specialists, along with the pediatricians and nurses that worked as a team. They really showed that they could reduce infant mortality dramatically and improve birth weights and school readiness for everybody in that target area. So, we're trying to recreate that through health care homes and the accountable care organizations—you need to take the community-oriented approach and be accountable to the community for outcomes.
In a nutshell, we're trying to make sure that we have community outcomes and not just individual patient outcomes.

Honor Code suspension now a major obstacle for BYU's NCAA hopes
That imploding sound coming from the West is the meltdown of Cougar Nation in the wake of BYU losing center Brandon Davies to an honor code violation.
Davies gave Team Jimmer an inside game. He was BYU's presence in the paint that helped offset San Diego State's talent for Saturday's Mountain West title game. He had just been developing into a force. The previous week he turned in 15 boards and 14 points to go with Jimmer Fredette's 34 points in a 84-76 win over Colorado State.
Davies is a sophomore who played high school ball in Provo. He had his choice of Pac-10 schools and Gonzaga but chose to stay home. In other words, he knew BYU's strict honor code barring activities college students take for granted — alcohol, premarital sex, and coffee and tea.* There are also bans universal to most campuses _ a prohibition on illegal drugs use and academic cheating.
It does not appear there is much room for due process at BYU. The school issued a statement that Davies would not be on the team for the reason of the season because of a "violation of the BYU Honor Code."
The timing is curious given his availability last weekend at San Diego State to all but seal the MWC title. Something was brewing Monday morning when BYU coach Dave Rose was unavailable for the MWC teleconference.
Davis is the third high-profile athlete parting ways with BYU in the past year. After last season, guard Michael Loyd transferred to a Division II program despite coming off the bench for 26 points in the NCAA Tournament. Also, running back Harvey Unga, the school's all time rushing leader, was denied his senior year because of an Honor Code issue.
Now, many in the state of Utah are writing off third-ranked BYU's chances of reaching the Final Four. The Cougars play New Mexico tonight (BYU lost to the Lobos last time around) and host Wyoming Saturday.
Even with Davies, the Cougars need to at least reach the championship game of next week's MWC Tournament to claim a No. 1 seed.
The best possible scenarios for the MWC included either BYU winning out for a No. 1 NCAA seed or any team but BYU, San Diego State or UNLV taking the MWC Tournament's automatic berth. That would give the MWC four bids for the second year in a row.
*Because of a reporter's error, this blog has been corrected in this online archive. Originally, it stated BYU's honor code prohibited caffeine. The school's code prohibits coffee and tea, not soda.

A SQL Server database can be in one of three recovery models. FULL, BULK_LOGGED and SIMPLE. The recovery model you choose for your databases will affect your restore plans in the event of failure or need to restore, the recovery model you pick will also influence how you mange the transaction log of your database. So you need to choose carefully.
The full recovery model offers your database the most protection. Full recovery mode means all database operations are fully logged. It allows point in time and point of failure restores. It does come with some overhead though, you need to implement both Full and Log backups as part of your backup plan. You need the transaction log backups for two reasons. 1. Transaction log backups allow you to perform point of failure or point in time restores. 2. If you don't take transaction log backups of your database when its in Full recovery mode then your transaction log will grow uncontrollably and will eventually use up all available drive space. In fact this is one of the biggest problems I have seen in my experience, people having a database in Full recovery mode, taking regular full backups but not taking regular log backups, they only notice the problem when they run out of disk space. By backing up the log you allow the inactive portions of the log to be truncated and reused.
Bulk Logged
Bulk Logged recovery mode is not dissimilar to the Full recovery mode, Transaction log backups still need to be an integral part of your backup plan. The difference between bulk logged and full is that certain bulk operations are only minimally logged when a database is in 'Bulk Logged' mode. Operations such as CREATE INDEX, SELECT * INTO, BCP, BULK INSERT are only minimally logged, according to Books Online (BOL) " Minimal logging involves logging only the information that is required to recover the transaction without supporting point-in-time recovery." This means that if your database crashes during one of these minimally logged operations and you need to restore you will not be able to restore to a point in time.
The main advantage of the simple recovery mode is that you do not need to worry about managing the transaction log. In fact you are not able to take transaction log backups when a database is in Simple mode. The obvious disadvantage then is that you are not able to perform a point-in-time restore when a database is in simple mode which may not be appropriate for OLTP production systems.
What do I Use?
Well in true DBA fashion, it depends. I will generalise a little here, usually for production OLTP databases I go with the full recovery model, these are business critical systems that I need to be able to recover point of failure or point in time. In this mode I will use Full backups combined with transaction log backups (differentials if needed.) on a schedule dictated by the business and what it needs in terms of recovery time. I like to copy the log backups to a different server and write the full backup to tape and store off-site. I do use the Simple recovery model on certain production systems occasionally, mainly for databases where the data remains static or does not change then I tend to go with simple with because that is usually enough and removes the need for me to manage the log.
What to consider when choosing a recover model
1. How much data loss, if any, is acceptable.
2. How often does the data change.
Setting the Recovery Model
When you create a database, the newly created database will get it's recovery model from the Model database.
My very simple CREATE DATABASE statement below creates a new database called ModRecTest:
CREATE DATABASE [RecModTest]
The following query selects from sys.databases and selects the recovery model of both the Model database and the newly created RecModTest database:
SELECT Name AS 'DBname', recovery_model_desc
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = 'Model'
OR Name = 'RecModTest'
Here are the results:
As you can see the recovery model is the same for both databases.
If you would like to change the recovery model of your database you can do this from object explorer in Management Studio by right clicking on the database in question selecting <Properties> move to the <options> tab and you can change the recovery model by choosing a different option from the drop-down list <Recovery Model> and select <OK> you can also run TSQL:
ALTER DATABASE [dbname] SET RECOVERY BULK_LOGGED
Is your Database Really in Full Recovery?
It is worth noting here, even though sys.databases tells me that my database is full recovery mode it is not in technically in 'Full' recovery until a Full database backup is taken. You can prove this in several ways:
1. If you try to run a transaction log backup against your database you will get an error saying that no full backup exists:
BACKUP LOG RecModTest TO DISK = 'C:\DATA\Backup\RecModTest.BAK'
You will get an error:
2. Another way to see if your database really is in full recovery mode is to use the following query:
SELECT d.Name, d.recovery_model_desc, dr.last_log_backup_lsn
FROM sys.databases d
INNER JOIN sys.database_recovery_status dr
ON d.database_id = dr.database_id
WHERE d.database_id = db_id('RecModTest')
Now if this query returns values similar to the following for your database then, even though it says it is Full recovery the lack of a value in the last_log_backup_lsn field means that a Full backup does not exist and the database is still in auto truncate (pseudo-simple) mode.
If you run a FULL database backup and run the same query again, you will see you get an LSN in the last_log_backup_lsn field. The full backup kicks off the log sequence chain and SQL Server knows to expect log backups.
BACKUP DATABASE RecModTest TO DISK = 'C:\DATA\Backup\RecModTest.BAK'
If you create the database in simple mode, take a full backup and re-run this query you will see that the last_log_backup_lsn field is still a NULL value. This means that SQL Server does not expect log backups (It won't allow them on a database in Simple mode) and the database in auto-truncate mode.
USE master
DROP DATABASE RecModTest
CREATE DATABASE RecModTest
ALTER DATABASE RecModTest SET RECOVERY SIMPLE
Then run a full backup:
BACKUP DATABASE RecModTest TO DISK = 'C:\DATA\Backup\RecModTest.BAK'
Then re-run the above query and we can see that the last_log_backup_lsn field is still NULL and therefore SQL Server is not expecting log backups and is auto-truncate mode.

Don Barry, Executive Vice President
Last week, I participated in one of the most enjoyable and illuminating environmental conferences that I have attended in the last 20 or 30 years. The students at the University of Florida law school organized and hosted a riveting two-day conference on the 40th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and it resulted in a reunion of some of the legal and scientific pioneers who helped shaped the ESA into what it is today: the strongest federal environmental law in the country. I was asked to be one of the opening keynote speakers, having worked on the ESA for more than 39 years in a variety of positions in the Executive Branch, on Congressional staff and with the non-profit conservation community.
When I arrived at the Department of the Interior in 1974, right out of law school, and started working as a career lawyer for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the ESA was only a few months old, having been enacted with overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress in December of 1973. Once on board at Interior, I had the incredible good fortune of being assigned the task of helping FWS draft the core implementation regulations that to this day guide the Service's methods for protecting wildlife with the prohibitions and inter-agency consultation sections of the ESA. Given that 2013 is the 40th anniversary of the ESA, my part at the law school conference was to look backwards and describe the early years under the ESA, and then take a look at where things stand today.
There were several things that made this conference extraordinary from my perspective. First was the chance to listen to such iconic early ESA litigators like Zyg Plater and Pat Parenteau, now both law professors at New England law schools. Zyg was the attorney that took the famous snail darter case against the Tellico dam all the way to the Supreme Court where he won a resounding victory. His case set the precedent that federal agencies MUST avoid putting endangered species in jeopardy of extinction. Pat was similarly involved in some of the earliest, most important court victories under the ESA that reaffirmed the obligations of federal agencies to avoid actions that would jeopardize such iconic species as endangered whooping cranes and Mississippi sandhill cranes. In addition to Zyg and Pat, there were other riveting keynote presentations made by some of the country's most renowned conservation biologists like Dr. Carl Safina and Dr. Reed Noss.
But the most rewarding part of the conference was getting the chance to spend time, as brief as it was, with the law students who had spent so much of their time organizing and hosting the event on top of their already crushing workloads at school. When I asked a number of the conference organizers what had motivated them to take this heavy responsibility on, and what had attracted them to the ESA, the answers were always the same: that they had grown up loving nature and wanted to apply their developing legal skills to help preserve this country's disappearing natural heritage. To a person, despite a discouraging job market and crushing levels of debt coming out of law school, they hoped that they would be able to embark on a career of environmental law.
I am now in the twilight of my long and rewarding professional career and I often wonder – and sometimes worry – about who will eventually step up and become the new advocacy voices for our voiceless imperiled species, once veterans of past ESA battles like Zyg and Pat and Carl and Reed and I are gone? My time spent among the law school students at the University of Florida has now given me my answer: A whole new generation of advocates is ready – they are eager, they are committed, they care. Whether as future citizen activists in their communities or as attorneys for the environmental community, the Florida law school students and other wildlife activists like them across the country are ready to take on the challenges of the next 40 years of the ESA, and to leave their mark for conservation. This issue is ultimately about this country's values as we stand at a conservation crossroads: one road leads to extinction, the other leads to recovery, and the choice that needs to be made is so painfully clear. It is reassuring to me – and should be to all who care for the future of imperiled wildlife – that the values that enabled us 40 years ago to commit so fully to protecting wildlife, are still present in today's young men and women, and they will ultimately find their way to help this country once again make the right choice.

text: The legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland was famous for her pronouncements on all things chic—so it's not surprising that her in-house memos to fellow staffers are filled with her irresistibly readable opinions, directives, and ecstatic tidings of new trends: "This is the year of the ribbon." "Let's start now using big hats." "Please be sure and note that every shoe has a strap around the ankle." The best of these warm (but nonetheless strict) missives are collected in Diana Vreeland Memos: The Vogue Years (Rizzoli), with crisp reproductions of the original typewritten notes, often addressed to such fashion-world luminaries as Cristóbal Balenciaga, Diane von Furstenberg, and Horst P. Horst, as well as fellow magazine talents like Consuelo Crespi, editor of Vogue Italia, left. These candid memos give us a rare glimpse into the working life, and capricious mind, of an editorial genius, and a fascinating look behind the scenes at an iconic magazine.

About Surviving Evil
"Surviving Evil" features dramatically compelling and emotional stories of victims who fought back against their attackers and, against amazing odds, survived. Joining Investigation Discovery as host of the series is Charisma Carpenter, best known for her role as Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel. Carpenter is the survivor of a real-life incident that she endured more than 20 years ago. The actress and two friends were swimming at San Diego's Torrey Pines State Beach in 1991 when they were violently attacked by an armed, rogue police officer. Carpenter fought for her survival after being held at gunpoint, but her two friends were both shot by the attacker and seriously wounded. The police officer was sentenced to 56 years in prison for the attacks in addition to a series of rapes and robberies.

" Thanks, i hope i can go there and get a highlander!! lol "
" Had a flat tire at 1pm on Thursday Jan 23rd . I have AAA, could have come 6 miles to the car and put the donut on and we would have been on our way. NO WHEEL LOCK WRENCH. Called Price Toyota, said to call Toyota Roadside assistance. They arrived at 3:30pm and took the 2020 Carolla with 1800mi on it to Price Toyota. The7y neglected to put the device in the new car. So we went to Delaware the next day and picked it up.(We're in NJ). They apologized and gave us the part. We had to cancel dinner reservations for Thursday night,my wife had to cancel a 9am appointment on Friday and we got to pick the car up at 2pm Friday. They did not seem to think it was a big deal. We will not go back to Price, even for the free new car service. "
" The best experience I have ever had buying a car. From top to bottom all first rate professionals. Highly recommend. Grab yourself a RAV4! "
" Michael, Auto Body Shop Manager Price Toyota, New Castle, DE Thank you very much for the wonderful work that was done on the Camry XSE rear end; it looks beautiful. We're not hoping for many more inattentive texting accidents, we feel good knowing we can always count on Price Toyota for all of our vehicle needs. We have been customers with Price Toyota for many many years, as long as I own a Toyota, Price is where I'II be for their exceptional service. Michael, Auto Body Shop Manager, communicated with me thru the whole process while my vehicle was being worked on.. Thank you again for your exceptional Customer Services. I will definitely recommend Price Toyota to anyone with body shop needs especially Toyota's owners. "
" Very thorough...couterous "
" I purchased a great low mileage used 2010 Camry from Charlie Sheets, who was very helpful throughout the process. Traded in my 2007 Tacoma, which was also a great vehicle, and was purchased from Price about 10 years ago. Sales and service at this site are both excellent. "
" Awesome "
" Overall, a great experience. The process was smooth at Price Toyota. Mr. Tim Li did a great job. Ask for Tim if you are to visit the dealership. Pulse is an excellent (dealer-installed) safety feature that Toyota should add it to all vehicles as standard. A few other comments for improvement: 1) We were offered an extended warranty at the time of signing the purchase documents that gave us no time to evaluate the cost-benefit and we felt some pressure to make a quick decision. Although we didn't mind purchasing an extended warranty, it would be nice if it was introduced to us during the sales negotiation so we could take the additional cost into consideration. 2) The email offer that I received did not mention that the price included a $500 special discount with financing, where I had planned to pay in full. 3) This is my 9th vehicle or the 6th with Toyota. In the past, I had to pay extra if I wanted the carpets. This time, I decided to get the all-weather mats. Surprisingly, besides paying for the cost for the all-weather mats, I had to pay for the carpets as well even though I didn't want it. Now I have a set of carpets that I don't need. Does it make sense? "
" I purchased a 2019 RAV4 in November and had the best experience. Michael Spinelli was wonderful to work with, he went over every single feature of my new car with me. Everything was trouble free and everyone at this dealership were friendly and helpful. "
" Excellent repair and maintenance department. Very thorough, professional, and great follow up. "
" Raeshel Egan, the Assistant Service Manager, greeted me on arrival in the service area and was most personable and professional, I was scheduled for the Camry's 15,000 mile service, She thoroughly explained what would be done and confirmed that I would wait. She updated me on the progress and also informed me of rodent droppings on the engine cover and even recommended spraying peppermint oil there to deter rodent nesting. That was much appreciated and not expected. She showed me the invoice indicating the work done and when I should bring the car in for the 20,000 mile service. She was OUTSTANDING! "
" We had out first new car check up this week. Everyone was friendly and all went smoothly. A good experience. Neil Gibson, our buyer rep. should be given cudos. We thought we had a problem and he bent over backwards to help us. Come to find out it was our problem, not his, but he was kind and patient . I've called him a couple of times about other things and he always responds promptly. A good man who I would recommend to anyone. "
" Excellent service and follow up. My salesman Nick Tarabicos made the sale extremely easy in that we did everything without my having to go to the dealership. He went as far as delivering my new vehicle to my home and taking my previous vehicle back. I have nothing but the best opinion of Nick and the Price team. "
" Good service, knowledgeable staff, and great environment is what I found at Price Toyota. "
" I went in for my first periodic maintenance. It was so easy and so quick! Other dealerships I've dealt with in the area have acted like my appointment was just a drop-off time, and have wanted me to leave and come back, and have taken hours to change the oil and rotate the tires. Not Price. I was in and out with full oil change, tire rotation, multi-point inspection in 25 minutes, and they even buffed out some scuffs on the side of my truck. Marisa gave excellent customer service! "
" Price Toyota gave me a great price on a new installed remote start for my Toyota. The service department even paid for a rental car since I live 1 hour away. The customer service was top notch and everyone was extremely helpful and professional. I will definitely use Price Toyota again. Rich Brackett "
"Great dealership. The place was like family. Great doing..."
" Great dealership. The place was like family. Great doing business and talking with the employees. I purchased a 2020 Corolla SE and Nikolaos Tarabicos helped me every step of the way. Just an all around awesome experience. Nik was great throughout the entire process. He had the knowledge about the particular vehicle I was interested in and was able to answer every question I had. Nik was also very patient which is a very big plus. I would definitely do business here again and would highly recommend this dealership to anyone. On a side note I also had my mother come in and speak with Nik in regards to a new vehicle. Thanks again Nik from me and my mother for all the help. "
"Salesman Nick Tarabicos went above and beyond in helping..."
" Salesman Nick Tarabicos went above and beyond in helping me find a vehicle meeting my specs and at the price I wanted to pay which was not an easy feat ...excellent customer service I highly highly recommend him. "
"Nikolaos was extremely helpful in my decision making and..."
" Nikolaos was extremely helpful in my decision making and also made the process smooth and easy. Very good customer service and friendly never made us feel unwelcome "
" Nic Tarabicos was thee absolute best sales rep I have worked with. It was a long and difficult process for him to find me the vehicle with all the specs. I wanted and at the price point I wanted (which he ended up saving me an additional $150) but he was patient and beyond helpful. And ultimately he ended up finding me a vehicle that met my stipulations which was not an easy feat. His customer service, patience and willingness to go the extra mile to help meet my needs was wonderful. Great experience overall I will be seeing him again in another few years for another 4Runner "
" I recently had my 6th month inspection after moving to Delaware and it was such a surprise how quickly it was performed and how nice the surroundings were. I want to commend Marissa for her pleasant and efficient handling of our questions. My wife and I are discussing getting a second car in the near future and I know where we will be shopping. "
" This dealership is the best. Best customer service with a smile. "
" My first 5000 miles service and the experience was great. Promt attention and fast service. Customer Service great. Keep up the good work Sam Wilmingtom, De "
" Great experience as usual. "
" Appointment was confirmed and oil change was done in the time allotted.But a week ago I had my second blowout on the sidewall. This time with 29,000 miles on a guarantee of a tire that should give you 50,000 miles. I took the tire to Price and since I purchased the road guarantee and they replaced the tire. So far I ve had two blowouts on the sidewalls and one tire wore unevenly which was blamed on our driving according to the Price service people. The manufacturer was Firestone. I ve never had any luck with Firestone with the whole set was recalled in early 2000. I ve driven Toyota's for the last 20 years and have purchased 3 cars from Price over that period of time. Price has responded and replaced 2 of the tires. But if you like to keep a set on your car that s worn evenly and gives you a smooth ride. The one tire that wasn't replaced is causing a rough ride because of the unevenness on the tire edge. Why doesn't Price replace this defective tire when obviously it s causing a major problem when traveling on a interstate. Price did replace the sidewall blowouts but fell short on replacement of the cut tire. The performance of the 3 of 4 tires has been less than satisfactory. I did not miss any of my warranteed appointments and Price checked the tires every time and did not recommend any further service. We have been very disappointed with the ride we presently have experienced. "
" Thank you Oscar for all your help. Great Services. "
" The service dept was very quick on getting my Toyota recall for the passenger side air bag inflator accomplished. They scheduled me quickly. I dropped the truck off on Sunday night and had it back by noon Monday.They did a good job, actually brought the truck inside for my pickup ( it was raining outside). Price notified me of a couple of items from their multi-point checks and included the cost of each item. I'm delaying fixing these items until January. All people I interfaced with were very courteous and helpful. Overall it was an excellent experience. "
" Very happy with our '20 Rav4 Hybrid. Oscar was incredibly helpful in finding one with all the options we wanted and had it brought over from another dealership. He also stayed late on a Friday night to go over all the features and make sure we were happy with everything. "
" Sean was very helpful in getting my check engine light issue fixed. He was very friendly. Even tough the diagnosis and issue fixing is bit expensive, I liked the way it was handled. "
" JD and the service team were friendly, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I love having such a knowledgeable and experienced team to take care of my RAV4! "
" Best Toyota Dealership ever in DE, to me. Great Service, fantastic staff members. what else can I ask for? "
" Excellent service and convenient to customers! Recommend going there to purchase a Toyota! I did and haven't regretted it!! "
" Great service, reasonably priced. The staff is always helpful. I don't feel like I am getting upsold on unnecessary services which I have experienced at other car dealerships. "
" Always affordable prices for everyone "

It's an exciting time of year for Club Industry as we make our annual trip to the IHRSA show. With this week's show in Los Angeles, we plan to run into a few celebrities, and that goes for the Hollywood types, too.
We also will cover more on the show floor this year, although we still will hit the keynotes and other special events. With all that is going on, Club Industry will be your source as we keep you updated on Twitter. If you aren't doing so already, follow us at @clubindustry.
And for those oddball tweets that may or may not have to do with the show, follow yours truly at @stuart_goldman. Some of the tweets may be funny, but more likely, they won't be. Either way, we have you covered behind the scenes (which makes for a good blog title).
Speaking of behind the scenes, it was great to meet and talk to a few CEOs at last year's show, including Gold's Gym President Jim Snow. Recently, we caught up with Jim about the Gold's acquisition of Spectrum Athletic Clubs in San Antonio. This little nugget didn't make our March issue story, but I asked him about the biggest deal in the industry: the acquisition of 171 Bally Total Fitness clubs by LA Fitness last year.
"Clearly, LA Fitness put a stake in the ground with Bally," Snow said, before adding, "I like our acquisition strategy, though, with higher-end clubs."
One more note from the March issue that ended up on the cutting room floor deals with our cover story on women-only clubs and the Healthworks legal battle from the late 1990s.
Healthworks owner Mark Harrington said the case was covered by The New York Times and also appeared on "60 Minutes." But that is not what was most interesting. James Foster, the man who challenged the women-only Healthworks model, ended up reaching a settlement with the company. As part of the settlement, Harrington told me, Healthworks agreed to furnish Foster's apartment with exercise equipment.
After Foster told Harrington his request, a relieved Harrington replied, "Why didn't you tell me that three years ago?"

A blueprint for high-volume, high-quality lung cancer screening that is detecting cancer earlier—and helping to save lives
Twenty-two percent of patients who start taking warfarin, a commonly prescribed blood thinner, end up in the hospital within six months, according to health plan data compiled by Medco Health Solutions. That's because it is exceptionally difficult to administer the proper dose, owing to great genetic variation among patients.
A study conducted by the PBM asked whether determining a patient's genotype can make a difference in hospitalization rates, "which is an outcomes question important to payers," says Robert S. Epstein, MD, chief medical officer at Medco Health Solutions.
It turns out that there are two genes that can help predict the proper dose, even beyond clinical factors like age and weight. These genes determine how well the enzymes CYP2C9 and VKORC1 function. These enzymes contribute significantly to how sensitive a patient is to warfarin, and, as a result, the dose that should be used.
"The study is interesting because it wasn't designed to determine if genotyping keeps the patient's INR [ International Normalized Ratio] in the normal range," says Epstein. The INR is used to monitor the effectiveness of blood thinning and measures how thick the blood is.
This comparative effectiveness study examined the effect of incorporating genetic information into the management of warfarin treatment on hospitalization during the first six months of therapy.
Results were evaluated in two ways: One included all hospitalizations from the time of the initial warfarin treatment, even if genotyping had not yet occurred, and was defined as the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis; the other only included hospitalizations that occurred after genotyping and was called the per protocol (PP) analysis.
"In the ITT analysis, every single patient who agrees to participate gets counted regardless of when he got his genotype test done," says Epstein. "It's the most conservative way of looking at your data. Say a patient agrees to have his genotype test done next week, but the next day, he suffers a bleed. His adverse event is still counted. Per protocol is where you only follow patients according to the protocol. In this case, we followed people forward in time after they were genotyped. Then we compared that to the control group."
The results showed that for the ITT analysis, patients who had been genotyped had a 31 percent lower rate of hospitalization for any cause, and a 28 percent lower rate of hospitalization because of bleeding or blood clots, than for patients who had not been given a genetic test. The difference was even more pronounced for the PP analysis, with genotyped patients having a 33 percent lower rate of hospitalization for any cause and a 44 percent lower rate of hospitalization for bleeding than the control group.

Logi-Map needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 67 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
Logi-Map is a new Australian company that provides digital navigation solutions targeting Military, Law Enforcement and other Government Departments. Our key focus is on providing desktop systems that go hand in hand with portable PC's such as tablet PC's and Panasonic Toughbooks etc.
Get There
Desired Color Scheme:
Main -Black, Grey, Blue . Possibly vivid burgundy or orange
Desired Style:
Slick, professional, smart, happy and simple. You can separate the words if you like, but consider using the hyphen as it's part of the URL. We like the idea of having a globe (earth)or map theme somewhere in the logo and would prefer any representation
Accepted File Formats:
Vector for maximum use. You know best.
Our software is unique in that it operates on any windows machine, is touch screen based and simple(logical)to use. Software-wise it is 'lightweight' and not memory or processor intensive. In a nutshell it is designed in helping the user to navigate from point to point using simple search criteria such as suburbs, street names and numbers, latitude & longitude, grid references, places names etc.
The software was developed for use in law enforcement helicopters but the company is also targeting military helicopter and vehicle use, as well as entities such as Police SWAT, Search and Rescue units, Ambulances, Fire Fighters, National Parks (Rangers), State Forrest workers etc. Once the logo is done a website will be developed with a matching theme. We are yet to decide the layout though.

Kiefer Sutherland honored by Harvard theater group
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Golden Globe-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland has been awarded the pudding pot after being honored as Man of the Year by Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals.
The roast for the actor took place despite a massive snowstorm hitting the Boston area. The Friday evening event, including presentation of the traditional pudding pot, was moved to the Charles Hotel in Cambridge.
The 46-year-old Sutherland has been in dozens of films. He's perhaps best known for his role as Jack Bauer in the television series "24," for which he won Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy awards. He is currently starring in the television show "Touch."
Last year's Man of the Year was Jason Segel.
The 2013 Woman of the Year, Marion Cotillard, was honored last week.

I picked up a new chest armor from the auction house, and it's a strange shade of blue that I've never seen, and it doesn't seem to match other items from its visual tier in terms of color.
I assume that it's dyed, but I don't see any reference to this on the item itself, and I'm the kind of visual OCD that I'd like to dye the rest of my items to match it. Is there any way to confirm which blue it is short of random guessing and checking?

Currently reading
I'm currently reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke. Really good read so far. Witty, British, and very different from my usual reads.
However, I can't get over the idea of David Tennant as Jonathan Strange, if there's ever a movie rendition of the book. If that ever happened, I wouldn't miss it. He might have to tone down his natural wackiness a bit, but I think he'd be marvelous for the part.
Tennant was my favorite of the new Doctor Whos (although Eccleston was also fun), and excellent in Hamlet with Patrick Stewart. Maybe I just want him to be in the JS&MN movie because I've turned into a fan. :)

This Crazy Massive Double Screened Tablet Could Crush The iPad -- Physically
The anti-iPad, a new tablet called Kno, is coming to market at the end of the year.
Why is it the anti-iPad? It's a monster sized, hefty, dual screen beast that runs Flash and accepts handwriting input from a stylus. It's not a lite general purpose device. It's designed for college students.
Click here for photos of the massive dual screen Kno tablet →
Osman Rashid, CEO of Kno, swung by our office with a prototype of the device. We asked him why he made his tablet so big. His answer: "It was a user experience decision."
"We didn't start out saying, let's do a big 14 inch project," says Rashid. "We measured thousands of books," and the big screen was the only way to textbooks onto a tablet. The second screen allows students to take notes with a stylus as they're reading textbooks.
Rashid says with 10 inch screens, only 11% of textbooks fit. At 12.1 inches, only 47% of textbooks fit. At 14 inches 95% of textbooks fit.
There's no price for the Kno yet. It will be less than $1,000, and "not $999.99" says Rashid.
It sure looks cool, but we told Rashid we thought it was probably going to flop. Selling new consumer electronics seems tough (see: JooJoo). His response: "There's no reason for it not to work. Customers have been demanding a solution, we're providing one."

Practicing What We Preach - Turn Five
We build a race car that is going to race…an entire season
Over the past few years, we have made a lot of noise about stock-appearing bodies and that if race cars looked more like those you might find on the street, oval track racing—specifically pavement oval track racing—would be better for it. It started with the cover of the Jan. '10 issue titled "Back to the Future" which featured Bobby Wilberg's '10 Dodge Challenger Street Stock. That was 42 months ago. Between then and now, we built, tested, displayed, and raced our Project G.R.E.E.N. Camaro. That car with its EFI engine, catalytic converters on the exhaust, and E85 fuel system is still talked about today.
Much of that car was designed to be experimental, a peak into the future if you will, and as you will see in the coming year it still hovers on the very edge of the "advanced technology" that this magazine likes to report on. Admittedly, you have to look at the present in order to get to the future, which brings me to PRI 2012. Astute readers of this magazine will have already seen the '12 Mustang Super Late Model that was showcased in the Circle Track booth at PRI in the pages of last month's issue.
Our good friend Dick Anderson built this car and its fit and finish is second to none. In fact, all of the major logos and numbers on this car were hand painted. For those of you who didn't get an up-close look, the Mustang features an Anderson Elite chassis from Port City Racecars, AR Bodies Ford Mustang body, a Ford Racing S374 crate motor, and a Tiger quick-change rearend. Longacre's new gauges will light the cockpit up like a Christmas tree. The car has a specially designed set of bump springs on the front end that, during the PRI show, caught the eye of another friend of the magazine, Billy Bigley. Anderson, who is no stranger to asphalt racing, said simply that it was the nicest car he had ever built. We couldn't agree more.
But race cars are not built to look pretty, they are built to do just one thing and that is, of course, race. So for 2013, we sat around the coffee table and decided that what we really need to do is race this car, showcase that "stock" car look, report on the chassis setups, engine performance over the course of the season, and all of the other essential racing items. In short, we will race so that you can win. And if you come looking for us we will be racing the Circle Track Mustang in the Florida United Promoter's Series as well as cherry picking a few P.A.S.S. races when they come near our neck of the woodsAuburndaleDillon, and who knows where else. Resident asphalt project car driver and all around rising star Dalton Zehr will handle the driving duties while Pete Epple and Bob Bolles (when he is not touring the country in the AMSOIL bus) will lend a helping hand in the pits. Heck, they might even let yours truly pick up a wrench now and againUntil next time, go fast and turn left

Product Description
Boys need strong role models.
In an age when the world is confused about what it means to be a strong man, boys need the examples of godly men who have gone before them. The eleven men in Strong are examples of true strength--men who stood firm when no one else would stand with them. As they read about these men, boys will learn about some familiar figures as well as those they may never have heard of before. They'll read harrowing stories of danger and risk and miraculous tales of courage and sacrifice.
By reading about the humility of Alvin York, the courageous conviction of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the strong faith of Jackie Robinson, and the missionary heart of George Liele, boys will come away with an inspiring vision of manhood. But even more, they'll encounter a personal God who strengthens His children "with all power, according to his glorious might" (Colossians 1:11). Rather than feeling the need to live up to impossible standards, they'll see that true power comes from God, and the same God who strengthened the men in this book will empower readers to walk in His strength right where they are.

The Electric Horseman is a minor 1979 Robert Redford movie directed by Sydney Pollack. It's not the best movie in the world, but it did feature Redford in a light-up cowboy outfit.
Yep, on his quest to release his injured horse into a remote western canyon, he dons a suit covered in lightbulbs while in Vegas. It's only natural. And in my opinion, it's what caused Jane Fonda's character to fall in love with him.
It's 30 years later and the fashion still hasn't caught on. It's a shame, really. When will we wake up and realise that we have so much potential if only we'd allow ourselves to realise it with tacky, light-up clothing?
Gizmodo '79 is a week-long celebration of gadgets and geekdom 30 years ago, as the analogue age gave way to the digital, and most of our favourite toys were just being born.

Connecting the dots on proposed Aurora racetrack
The Schuck Corp. wants to build a $200 million racetrack near DIA. The project would largely be dependent on tax subsidies provided under the so-called Colorado Regional Tourism Act, a bill awaiting Gov. Ritter's signature.
The Tourism Act was the brainchild of none other than Colorado Concern, a group of prominent business leaders that includes Steve Schuck. Steve Schuck is the father of Bill Schuck, who happens to be the CEO of The Schuck Corp.
Colorado Concern is the same group that helped Ritter, a Democrat, retire some $250,000 in campaign debts in 2006. This is what Steve Schuck, a one-time Republican gubernatorial candidate, told me late last year about why the mostly Republican group agreed to fundraise to help pay off Ritter's debt:
"Some of us aren't happy about that, but that's reality. He's the governor, and if you want to have influence and you want to have access, you have to deal with the guy who's in office, not the guy you might have preferred to have there."
So while Ritter says he is listening to concerns from opponents of the tourism act, his signature is all but a given. He already ticked of Concern members with the infamous executive order that strengthened bargaining powers for state workers. Further, his top economic development official was a vocal supporter of the measure.
Schuck is just one of several Colorado Concern business leaders who will benefit from the Tourism Act, which will give up to $50 million annually in sales tax revenue to developers to help pay off debt issued for construction of tourism projects such as a NASCAR racetrack. No doubt, Brownstein Read more…

I shot this fun, quirky portrait for Condé Nast Traveler to go with an article about the crazy new gadgets people are using to avoid all kinds of germs and illness while traveling. I couldn't even tell you what half of this stuff does, but I like how the image turned out. I'm bummed we didn't get to shoot the SkyRest Travel Pillow, but there is only so much room for ridiculous travel paraphernalia in one picture. Enjoy, and remember to always fly safe.

2012 American Country Awards Worst Dressed Pictures
While a few stars dolled up for the 2012 American Country Awards on Monday night (Dec. 10), plenty of others went casual... too casual. The men on this list of the Worst Dressed at the 2012 ACAs all have denim in common, while the women who got our heads shaking chose daring dresses that looked stolen from the set of the next 'Spider Man' movie.
True, this Las Vegas-based awards show is more laid back than some other country music ceremonies, but there was a least a "sleeves required" dress code, wasn't there? A pop star who was present makes the Worst Dressed list for a gown that looks torn from her grandmother's curtains, while another singer skinned an alligator before hopping a flight to Sin City. See photo evidence of the fashion fails below.
Worst Dressed at the 2012 ACAs:
Jason Aldean came up with this dapper sport coat, which at first glance looks like black alligator scales. A closer inspection reveals that's not the case, but his overall outfit still screams Crocodile Dundee on prom night.
Miranda Lambert borrowed from the superhero villainess line for her form-fitting gown at the 2012 American Country Awards. While the 'Over You' singer is normally a star who works the red carpet like a cowboy works the rodeo, her psychedelic pattern makes our head hurt.
Phoenix Stone gets the Hot Mess Award of the night for this collision of bad fashion ideas. It's hipster-meets-cowboy-meets-out-of-work-Los Angeles-actor. Stone is holding a beer in a mason jar, which to us feels more like an accessory than something he's nursing to get through the ceremony.
Natasha Bedingfield's outfit could be the death of Christmas. The yuletide colors cry Xmas (in Britain it must be XXXmas!), but her tree needs a little more color to complete the look. The gown hangs off her body like a pair of window decorations.
Colt Ford seems to have taken a time out from his Las Vegas camping trip to attend the 2012 American Country Awards ceremony. One wonders if he still smelled of burning embers or mosquito repellent when he walked the red carpet.

Scrapbook Update's CHA Hot Picks list full of what we think will be the blockbuster releases from CHA will be coming in the next day or two after much deliberation, but in the meantime, we are bringing you a blog hop of our staff's personal favorites from the things that they saw in Anaheim.
First up, you can find my highlights in My CHA Winter 2012 Favorites on my website The Nally Notes. How does this differ from the Hot Picks list that I'll be posting soon? The Hot Picks list is intended to be a predictor of what the market in general is going to love, and what I heard buzz and excitement about at the show. My favorites list is simply an expression of my own taste – my personal wishlist of what I know that I want to play with that was on display at that show.
May and Melissa had an even harder time than I did narrowing down what they liked. They needed entire categories on their sites to show off what they thought about what they saw! You can find their pieces by browsing through the articles in the categories on their website:

Wednesday, January 22, 2020
WASHINGTON (AP) — Wary of another war, congressional Republicans and Democrats pressed President Barack Obama to explain why the U.S. military should attack Syria and involve Americans in the deadly civil conflict that has roiled the Mideast.
"What is the intended effect of the potential military strikes?" House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote the president on Wednesday as the drumbeat of war grew louder.
Exasperated members of the House and Senate said the president has failed to make a case for U.S. military action against Syria despite the administration's conclusion that the Syrian government carried out a large-scale chemical weapons attack against civilians last week. An exception was Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who said Thursday that Obama should take some form of action to send a message to Syrian President Bashar Assad and his regime.
The administration was planning a teleconference briefing Thursday night on Syria for leaders of the House and Senate and national security committees, U.S. officials and congressional aides said.
Obama's national security adviser and intelligence chief, Susan Rice and James Clapper, were scheduled to talk to members of Congress along with Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Adm. James Winnefeld, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, congressional aides said.
The administration signaled Wednesday that it would act against the Syrian government even without the backing of allies or the United Nations in response to the alleged chemical weapons attack outside the Syrian capital of Damascus on Aug. 21.
Some lawmakers insisted that Obama, despite his standing as commander in chief, cannot unilaterally order military action against Syria without congressional authorization.
The president said in a PBS interview Wednesday that he had not made a decision about how the United States would respond.
Menendez, however, said he favors action by Obama and said the president has several options, including missile attacks against critical elements or strikes on regime troops in Damascus.
"It's beyond Assad and Syria," Menendez said on CBS "This Morning." ''It's really a question of whether or not you send an international message that weapons like chemical weapons cannot be used against innocent civilians."
Menendez, D-N.J., said he would like to see Obama come before Congress but that Obama does have authority to act without congressional approval: "... the president has, under the War Powers Act, the ability to go ahead if he believes the national security of the United States is at stake," Menendez said.
But another Democrat on the Foreign Relations panel, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, has questioned whether there is an imminent threat to U.S. interests and warned against military strikes that could draw the United States into a long-term war that could cause even more Syrian deaths.
Menendez said Obama has a number of options, but the actions are "not about regime change."
"Nor is it about a long-term engagement, nor is it about boots on ground," Menendez said.
In his letter, Boehner underscored that he has been supportive of administration policy to date as Obama has called for Assad to resign and insisted that the use of deadly chemical weapons would be a gross violation of international norms.
Boehner wrote that in light of the administration's contention that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons against its people, Obama should provide "a clear, unambiguous explanation of how military action — which is a means, not a policy — will secure U.S. objectives."
Boehner asked Obama to "personally make the case to the American people and Congress for how potential military action will secure American national security interests, preserve American credibility, deter the future use of chemical weapons, and, critically, be a part of our broader policy and strategy."
The speaker also pressed the president to provide a legal justification for any U.S. military action.
There was no immediate reaction from the White House to Boehner's request.
In the House, 98 Republicans and 18 Democrats have signed a letter to Obama demanding that he seek congressional authorization for any military action against Syria. The letter written by Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va., argues that intervention without a direct threat to the United States and without Congress' approval would be unconstitutional.
Washington Rep. Adam Smith, the senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, cautioned that an attack might be ineffective and might draw the United States into the Syrian civil war, now in its third year.
"Simply lashing out with military force under the banner of 'doing something' will not secure our interests in Syria," Smith said in a statement.
Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he informed the administration that he could not support any military strike against Syria unless Obama presents a detailed strategy to Congress and provides a defense budget to support any action.
An increasing number of lawmakers have asked what would be the end result of U.S. military intervention against a Mideast country where the Assad government and rebel forces have struggled for more than two years, with an estimated 100,000 killed and millions displaced.
"The war in Syria has no clear national security connection to the United States, and victory by either side will not necessarily bring into power people friendly to the United States," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said.
In his letter, Boehner raised 14 questions that he asked Obama to answer, including what the administration would do if Syria retaliates against U.S. allies in the region, whether the administration would launch additional military strikes if the initial ones proved ineffective and how any operation will be paid for.
