An FR 2081 report must be filed before a transaction resulting in a change in ownership or management of a state member bank or a bank holding company. This interagency information collection consists of three forms: Notice of Change in Control (FR 2081a), Notice of Change in Director or Senior Executive Officer (FR 2081b), and Biographical and Financial Report (FR 2081c). The FR 2081a and FR 2081b provide a detailed description of a proposed change in ownership or management, respectively. The FR 2081c is used by individuals and is filed in conjunction with the other reports to provide supporting financial and employment data.
Purpose: The Federal Reserve uses the information from this report to evaluate a depository institution's controlling ownership and senior officers and directors.
The Notice of Change in Bank Control originated in 1979 as a result of the enactment of the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978; in 1996 the single notice was changed to three separate interagency reports. The Change in Bank Control Act requires prior notice from individuals involved in changes in the controlling ownership of a financial institution (now reported on FR 2081a). Section 914 of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) requires depository institutions to give prior notice of a proposed addition of any individual to the board of directors or the employment of an individual as a senior executive officer (FR 2081b). The evaluation of transactions under both of these acts requires background information on the individuals involved (FR 2081c).
Respondent Panel:
State member banks, bank holding companies, and individuals proposing to make significant investments in bank holding companies and banks. Reporting is required.
The FR 2081a and FR 2081b must be filed at least sixty days and thirty days, respectively, prior to the proposed changes. The FR 2081c must be filed along with both the FR 2081a and FR 2081b, as well as with other applications.
Public Release:
Notices of Change in Bank Control are public documents.

What is AEZ The main system for land resource assessment is FAO's agro-ecological zoning (AEZ) methodology and supporting software packages for application at global, regional, national and sub-national levels. AEZ uses various databases, models and decision support tools.
When to use AEZ Useful as a tool of assessment of land resources for better planning and management and monitoring of these resources. AEZ can be used in various assessment applications, including: - land resource inventory; - inventory of land utilization types and production systems, including indigenous systems, and their requirements; - potential yield calculation; - land suitability and land productivity evaluation , including forestry and livestock productivity; - estimation of arable areas mapping agro-climatic zones, problem soil areas, agro-ecological zones, land suitability, quantitative estimates on potential crop areas, yields and production; - land degradation assessment, population supporting capacity assessment and - land use optimization modelling; - assessing and mapping flood and drought damages to crops; - assessment of impact of climate change; monitoring land resources development The agro-ecological zones methodology has been in use since 1978 for determining agricultural production potentials and carrying capacity of the world's land area. An agro-ecological zone, as originally defined, is comprised of all parts of gridcells on a georeferenced map that have uniform soil and climate characteristics. The suitability of each of these zones for rainfed production of various crops, under different input and management scenarios is then evaluated. The yield potential of the crops most suited to each zone where rainfed crop production is possible, determines the overall agricultural production potential of that zone. Crops evaluated originally include food, fibre and fodder crops and pasture grasses. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), has updated its agro-ecological zones (AEZ) methodology (FAO & IIASA, 2002). The updated version permits a more refined evaluation of biophysical limitations than the original, and takes into account the production potential of a larger number of crops. In conjunction with the updating exercise, a worldwide spatial land resources database has been created that contains both primary datasets and derived datasets for a large number of variables that affect the production potential of the world's land area or reflect the choices that people have made about how to use the land. The AEZ framework incorporates the following basic elements:- a georeferenced land resources database that contains some 2.2 million gridcells, and includes (i) an environmental conditions component comprised of georeferenced global databases for climate, soils, terrain and elevation, and (ii) a spatial land use and land cover component covering forests, protected areas, irrigated areas, population distribution and density, land required for habitation and infrastructure, estimates of cropland, grazing land and sparsely vegetated or barren land, and farming systems; - a standardized framework for the characterization of soil, terrain and climatic conditions relevant to agricultural production, and identification of areas with specific climate, soil and terrain constraints to rainfed crop production; - selected agricultural production systems with defined input and management relationships, and cropspecific environmental requirements and adaptability characteristics; these are termed land utilization types (LUTs);- procedures for calculating the potential agronomically attainable yield and for matching environmental requirements of individual crops and LUTs with the respective environmental characteristics contained in the land resources database, by land unit and gridcell, thus permitting estimation of crop-specific suitability indices for each gridcell in the database, under different levels of inputs and management conditions;- quantification of crop and land productivity potential under different cropping pattern and LUT assumptions;- applications for estimating the land's population-supporting capacity and for multiple-criteria optimization of land resource use for sustainable agricultural development, incorporating socioeconomic and demographic as well as environmental factors.The AEZ starts with climate and uses terrain and soil types as modifiers, that is climate is determining; only if climate is suitable will the suitability of the terrain and the soil type be considered. A complete description of the methodology and results obtained for regions across the globe can be found in FAO & IIASA, 2002 and 2003.

The unit had been down since late 2011. In a Jan. 17 news release, Chris Bezaire, Nova senior vice president of PE, said that since the shutdown, Nova "committed resources and capital to not only rebuild the reactor, but enhance our ability to operate more safely and reliably."
Officials with Calgary, Alberta-based Nova added that LDPE market growth is part of NOVA 2020, the firm's long-term asset strategy to capitalize on emerging feedstock opportunities and growing North American demand. Nova already has announced plans to add two more PE production lines, either in Joffre, Alberta, or Corunna, Ontario.
Through October 2012, U.S./ Canadian LDPE sales totaled almost 5.7 billion pounds, according to the American Chemistry Council in Washington. That total represents a one percent vs. the first 10 months of 2011.

Sarries to sink Munster
Reece Killworth believes Saracens can edge out Munster in their Heineken Cup clash on Sunday.
- Related Content
The layers should have had an easier time of it this week as we go into the second round of the traditional mid-pool European rugby double-header.
We managed to get another one up on them last week with Toulon overcoming the handicap at Sale but given they now have a more recent point of reference it's somewhat harder to pluck something off this coupon.
Saracens look the team to help us maintain our winning momentum, though.
Mark McCall's men came off second best against Munster last weekend in a cagey, physical battle and there's every chance we'll have a similar sort of game back in Watford.
All 24 of the points scored at Thomond Park came from the boot, with Ronan O'Gara kicking five of five while Owen Farrell could only land four of seven.
That shows the game could easily have swung the other way - and that's exactly how I see things unfolding this weekend.
Sarries lost all three of their home pool fixtures just two seasons ago but have since found their feet in this competition - winning all three last year and the one they've played already in the current campaign.
Their strength in front of their own fans (wherever they have to travel!) is underlined by the fact they're unbeaten in a home match all season.
And in games like this, their no-nonsense, limited-risk approach is perfect.
Munster are no pushovers, of course, but they have lost once on the road in the Heineken Cup already this season - by five points at Racing Metro.
And the absence of Keith Earls is a blow as he was behind plenty of their good work back at Thomond Park last weekend.
They've lost by more than 12 points only once in the Heineken Cup since exiting in the semi-finals in 2009, though, which proves that when they do lose, they rarely suffer a hiding.
All things considered, Saracens winning by 1-10 points at 15/8 is the call.

In its fourth year of existence, the Highlands Ranch High School boys lacrosse team is poised to make some noise.
With such a young team in 2009, which ended with an appearance in the state playoffs, the Falcons return 22 varsity players.
Just because the team was young, didn't mean it wasn't competitive last year. The roster's underclassmen accounted for 104 of the 119 goals and 51 of its 71 assists.
Among the team's possible standouts this season is defenseman Tom Gerwick, who logged 60 takeaways as a sophomore last season. Goalie Eric Arthurs was one of the team's key players last season with 259 saves, second in the state. He returns between the pipes for the Falcons.
Twin brother Grant Arthurs also returns. The middie found the back of the net 38 times last year and was 16th in the state in goals. On the attack, Tyler Doskins and Will Fay scored 18 and 10 goals, respectively, last year and are expected to put up the numbers again.
Sophomore middie Joe Hansley also should be among those to light up the scoreboard after a freshman season with 21 goals and 13 assists.
One major change for the team from last season is in its coaching staff. Drew F.P. Beedy succeeds Matt Thomas as head coach of Falcons boys lacrosse starting. A teacher at Highlands Ranch in the business education department, Beedy coached varsity lacrosse for nine years in Maine.
Curtis Fulton also was brought into the program as an assistant coach this year.

Microsoft: Very Big Deal.
This is just a thought exercise so let's establish some rules: The disappearance of a company doesn't mean that all of their products just disappear, they just disappear from the market. So if you own a '65 Mustang and Ford disappears you still have your classic muscle car. But no 2013 Ford Focus for you.
It's not unfair to say that organizations the world over are addicted to Microsoft technology. Companies are always deploying new computers based on Microsoft systems and application software and the inability to do that would mean big trouble across just about every business segment across the globe (except in countries where they always pirate software anyway, of course).
And don't forget, no more XBoxes.
This story is a reprise of a similar story on which I collaborated at PC Magazine many years ago.

Dear fellow members,
is there anything that can be done if my workload is considerably much more vs. my colleagues in my department? I literally was responsible for 420+ students a few years ago per week while I see my department colleagues have period after period free.
Pleaded with several administrators for 3 years now for an adjustment in distribution of workload to no avail.
Is there any recourse?

Seattle Children's Hospital neonatologists and neonatal nurse practitioners will provide 24/7 care to premature and critically ill newborns at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, and around-the-clock neonatal support and consultation at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way and St. Elizabeth Hospital in Enumclaw, beginning in early 2013.
This new partnership with Franciscan Health System will expand the availability of specialized neonatal care in the South Sound region through a collaborative neonatal medical team, and provide continuing education and training for Franciscan providers and staff.
As a teaching hospital, Children's is focused on providing the best care and the latest advances to newborns and to the staff who care for them.
"Seattle Children's is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 children's hospitals in the country. We look forward to partnering with their skilled neonatology team to offer outstanding care for medically fragile newborns and their families in our community," said St. Joseph Medical Center President Syd Bersante, who provides regional executive oversight of Franciscan women's services. "We are committed to excellence every day in every life we touch. Our partnership with Children's reflects our focus on advanced medicine and trusted care."
In March, Franciscan received approval from the Washington State Department of Health to open a Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for premature and critically ill infants born at St. Joseph Medical Center. The Level III designation allows St. Joseph staff to care for newborns that are as young as 28 weeks' gestation (born 12 weeks before the due-date) or as small as 1000 grams (2 pounds, 2 ounces). It also permits the hospital to offer more advanced care.
The 18-bed, Level II special care nursery at St. Joseph is being expanded and remodeled to include the new five-bed Level III NICU that is scheduled to open in the summer of 2013. The Children's team will work closely with the Franciscan team in on-site management of the daily operations of the Level II and Level III beds at St. Joseph, and the Level II beds in the special care nursery at St. Francis Hospital.
The Franciscan Birth Centers in Tacoma, Federal Way and Enumclaw deliver more than 5,000 babies annually. More than 3,800 babies are born every year at St. Joseph Medical Center alone, making it the busiest birth center in the South Sound and the sixth-busiest in the state. Approximately 10 percent of newborns need Level II or Level III intensive care. The addition of the Level III NICU at St. Joseph and the partnership with Children's will help ensure that premature and critically ill newborns can receive the most advanced care where they are born, minimizing the need to transfer them to another hospital for special care. Such transfers can be difficult and inconvenient for parents who are already emotionally stressed because their baby has been born prematurely or ill.
"Children's is very pleased to work with the Franciscan Health System to help provide an enhanced level of neonatal care for infants in the South Sound region," said Sandy Melzer, MD, senior vice president of Seattle Children's. "Our collaboration helps ensure the most fragile newborns can receive the best specialized care close to home."
St. Joseph Medical Center is the fourth regional hospital with a Level III NICU to partner with Children's neonatology services. The other NICUs are at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Overlake Hospital Medical Center in Bellevue and Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland.
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's Hospital serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Children's has been delivering superior patient care and advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation. For more information, visit www.seattlechildrens.org.

Colorectal cancer is one of only a handful of cancers for which screening is proven to save lives, both by finding and removing polyps before they turn cancerous and by finding cancers early, when treatment is most likely to be successful.
During March, National Colon Cancer Awareness Month, the American Cancer Society is highlighting the need to do more to save lives from the nation's third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women by urging patients and their doctors to talk about the importance of colorectal cancer screening, which is recommended for people at average risk beginning at age 50.
"Although screening guidelines differ for some cancers, this is not the case for colorectal cancer," said Richard C. Wender, M.D., chief cancer control officer for the American Cancer Society and chair of the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable. "All guidelines recommend screening with either colonoscopy every 10 years or a stool test at home every year, and the benefit of screening is clear. Colon cancer screening accomplishes two things – it prevents colon cancers from developing by removing polyps and it detects cancers early when it is highly curable."
More than 1 in 3 adults aged 50 and older are not being screened as recommended for colorectal cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that most people begin regular screening at age 50. People at higher risk, such as those with a family history of colon cancer, may need to start screening earlier.
"A great number of people do not understand that there are choices for being screened," Wender added. "If patients are offered a choice among several screening options, then we can increase the chance they will get screened. As we like to say: the best test for you is the one you get."
The Society recommends the following colorectal cancer screening tests:
• Tests that detect precancerous polyps and cancer:
• Flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years; or
• Colonoscopy every 10 years; or
• Double contrast barium enema (DCBE) every five years; or
• CT colonography (CTC) every five years.
• Tests that primarily detect cancer:
• Yearly guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT) with high test sensitivity for cancer (older versions of the Fecal Occult Blood Test should not be used to test for colorectal cancer); or
• Yearly fecal immunochemical test (FIT) with high test sensitivity for cancer; or
• Stool DNA test (SDNA).
Tests that detect precancerous polyps allow doctors to remove the polyps and potentially prevent cancer altogether. And while cancers detected at the earliest stage have a five-year survival rate of 90 percent, only 40 percent of colon cancers are currently detected at this stage, partly because too few people are screened.
The Society is increasing efforts during March and beyond to ensure more people are aware of the lifesaving potential of screenings. As co-founders of the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable, a coalition of 80 member organizations working to improve screening rates in the US, the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are committed to significantly increasing screening rates.
"Public policies such as the Affordable Care Act are improving access to colon cancer screening, but we have a lot of work to do to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be screened," Wender said.
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), the Society's nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate, strongly supported provisions of the Affordable Care Act that reduce or eliminate the cost of colorectal cancer screening and other proven prevention services for patients and require most health plans to cover them.
ACS CAN supports congressional legislation that would lift a financial burden for people living on a fixed income by ensuring men and women on Medicare receive these lifesaving screenings without risking cost sharing. ACS CAN is also working to increase federal funding of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Colorectal Cancer Control Program, which provides screenings to low-income and uninsured people.

UBC and TWU set to defend CIS titlesHAMILTON (March 4, 2012) – The top-seeded Alberta Pandas set up of an all-Canada West final against archrival UBC at the CIS women's volleyball championship thanks to a 25-16, 25-16, 25-23 semifinal win over the No. 5 McGill Martlets at McMaster University's Burridge Gymnasium, Saturday night.
The Pandas will take on the No. 2 Thunderbirds in a rematch of last Saturday's Canada West final. UBC, which is looking to claim a remarkable fifth straight CIS banner, booked its ticket for the gold-medal match with a 3-1 defeat of Montreal.
Should the Pandas triumph tomorrow, they would tie UBC for most CIS titles all-time, with eight. The two storied programs have faced off twice over the years in the national final with Alberta prevailing on both occasions, 3-1 in 1999 and 3-2 in 1997
"We have a great challenge ahead of us with the T-Birds to win the championship," said Alberta head coach Laurie Eisler. "We are the No. 1 seed, but we know they are the favourites, everyone is thinking its there's to win.
Left side Whitney Matheson of Edmonton recorded a game-high 11 kills in the match and added a team-high 11 digs. Alena Omelchenko of Kazakhstan reached double-digit numbers again with 10 more kills for the victorious Pandas.
The Thunderbirds defeated the No. 3 Montreal Carabins 25-15, 20-25, 25-19 and 25-22. Kayla Richey, the CIS player of the year from Roberts Creek, B.C., led UBC with 17.5 points on 13 kills. She also was credited with a game-high 14 digs.
At Kingston, Ont., in the men's semifinals, the top-seeded Trinity Western Spartans will get the chance to defend their national title on Sunday thanks to a straight-set win (25-20, 25-13, 25-14) over the tournament host Queen's Gaels
The Spartans were led by third-year hitter Steven Marshall of Abbotsford, B.C., who had a game-high 14 kills to lead all players on just 23 attacks.
The Spartans are set to face the third-seeded Laval Rouge et Or which advanced to the gold-medal with a 15-25, 30-28, 25-22, 25-17 victory over the No. 2 Manitoba Bisons.
Tommy Bélisle, the RSEQ rookie of the year from Pierreville, Que., paced the Rouge et Or on Saturday with 18 kills, three blocks and eight digs. He was named game MVP for the winners.
Both finals are on Sunday at 4 p.m. (EST). SSN Canada will have live webcasts of the matches.

Megan Fox-Stalking Kid's Dreams Are Foiled by Michael Jackson's Death
The Boy with the Yellow Rose was all set to meet Megan Fox on the Today Show this morning, but Michael Jackson's death nixed that. All's not loss: our tipster who found the young lad is now $5,000 richer.
So mechanical soul-stealing conglomerate Kodak offered $5,000 to anyone who could track down Megan Fox's scorned wooer. The bounty worked. A reader realized she was friends with the lad on Facebook and she's getting the big prize. Young Harvii was flown from London to New York yesterday and scheduled to appear at the Today Show this morning to meet Ms. Fox live in person. But then the Michael Jackson death happened and so Fox was bumped and has flown back to LA. A sad thing. We have a chance to talk to the lad, so we can at least hear his side of the story. Stay tuned for that hard-hitting interview this afternoon.
In the meantime, let's meet the lucky lady!
What's your name, young lady?
My name is Kim Falardeau, 20 yo, from montreal canada. that makes me a french canadian. i like movies travelling, music concerts, i started tattoing, play ps3 psn games LOL
im a big geek who can beat my bf at w.o.w
hope thats enough
French Canadian! So now that you're a millionaire in Canadian Dollars, what will you do with your riches?
Probably gonna pay off my bills n buy myself a nice imac to match my bfs macbookpro! loll I work in a comunication place but right now im off work cuz im sick
sooooooo ill spend good time on my new computer lol
How terribly practical (read: Canadian) of you!

X3 F25 (2011 - current)
The latest X3 brings added style and new features to the BMW's mid-sized SUV. Talk about the BMW F25 X3 with other X3 owners now!
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Looking for opinions on Order
I'm putting together an order for an X3 35i and am on the fence on a few issues. Thought I'd post and solicit input from the peanut gallery.
Color: Carbon Black or Alpine White (not sure which looks better with M package)
Interior: Leaning toward black (hide dirt from kids and pets)
Fineline Wave (brushed metal??)
Cold Weather Package (might just order heated front seats and save $450)
Driver Assistance package (regular, not the "plus")
Dynamic Handling package
M package
Premium Package
Technology package
1 Given that I will have carbon/black or white/black, what are your thoughts on brushed aluminum trim? My initial reaction is I don't like the look of the metal against the darker interior (a little too noticeable for my tastes). Thoughts?
2. I'm not sure what the difference is between shadowline and satin trim? What about the roof rails?
3. I'm considering adding premium audio. Is it worth it?
4. Is there any point to getting the accessory phone cradle or is that now obsolete with Bluetooth?
5. If I order now (October production), will the car have SIRI eyes free and other updated features?
I recognize much of the above is subjective. Feel free to share your opinions.
Will just chime in on a couple of the above.
I have the brushed aluminum with a black interior and love it. I think it looks better than the wood, if I had a different interior color I would have ordered one of the woods. You mention black to hide dirt from the kids and that's exactly why I got it but I must say the sandy/dirty bottoms of their shoes shows up rather well on the black! I would highly recommend the X-line floor liners (not mats) as they have a big lip on them that will catch all the dirt and dropped cheerios! That way you can just lift the liner out and toss the trash or vacuum it out easily.
I would order roof rails now, it's only a couple of hundred bucks and it will be a lot more if you have to add them later, also will help with resale. Depending on how old your kids are the rear sun shades are nice and again should be ordered now.
Accessory phone cradle is not worth it in my opinion. 99% of what most people want to do can be done with Bluetooth or a normal cable. I did purchase the cradle so I could play videos from my iphone on the Nav display (in park of course) but BMW disabled this feature for 2014 models (I heard you can recode it back but haven't tried) and so the only other benefit was a connection to the outside antennae and that wasn't worth $250 to me. Living in Irvine I doubt you will need it either.
Can't comment on the premium audio as I haven't heard it but I'm not an audiophile so I was never going to order it.
Make sure you check out a local Bimmerfest sponsor before ordering to make sure you get the best deal and enjoy it when it arrives!

The question on the trim is easy: "Shadowline" is BMWspeak for black, but note that the variant on the US-market X3 is the fancy high-gloss shadowline. I like it but it tends to show fingerprints, etc. The alternative on an M sport is satin aluminum, i.e., silver color. Not chrome but satin silver.
'14 X3 35i M sport
Looking for opinions on Order
Roof rails are standard in the 35i. I say if you get the white then get it in satin(silver). If a dark color get the rails in black. I think the fineline trim is more elegant. But to each their own. If you are already spending all that $$ might as well get the weather package. $450 on a $50k car won't break the budget.
And make sure to get the weathertech floor liner for the back seats. It covers the entire floor and keeps everything clean. As for the trunk weathertech or the BMW brand are both good options.
Most important review the build order sheet VERY carefully!!! Once you sign off on it there is no turning back! Unless u want to lose your deposit. Double check all of the options marked off especially the color of the roof rails as they tend to get that mixed up a lot.

I borrowed the keys for a X3 with and a X3 without premium auto from my salesman and spent a hour out in his lot listening to my music (thumb drive) in each one. I decided that I thought that the difference was enough to justify the expense for me with my music.
I recommend asking your sales person to let you do the same.
Your music, your ears, your car. You'll get a great vehicle no matter what!
Our BMW: '14 X3 35i, Deep Sea Blue, Black Nevada Leather, Fineline Wave Wood, Satin Aluminum Roof Rails, Premium Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, Navigation System, Driver Assistance Pkg with ALL them cameras, Premium Sound

"Old Faithful's just a fountain compared to the glory of true love" -- John Prine
I spent £13.000 on options when I ordered My X3.0 M Sport , but the best option I have found to be the Head up Display (HUD)
It puts up digital speed, reads road signs and displays Active speed limits, great for navigation information without taking eyes off road
Thanks everyone.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Atlantic City's casinos endured a sixth straight year of plunging revenues in 2012, taking in just over $3 billion.
Since 2006, when the city's gambling halls took in an all-time high of $5.2 billion, Atlantic City has lost more than 41 percent of its gambling revenue, thousands of jobs, and its status as the nation's second-largest casino market. That title now belongs to Pennsylvania, which passed Atlantic City last year.
The year was marred by Superstorm Sandy, which shut the casinos down for the second time in just over a year. Though it did not physically damage them, the storm scared away visitors for weeks, and damaged the homes of many of the resort's prime customers in New Jersey and New York, who presumably won't be back gambling for quite some time.
"I'm glad it's over," Tony Rodio, president of the Casino Association of New Jersey, said of 2012. "Actually, that's what we said about 2011, too. But who knew that 2012 would be worse when we had this horrible hurricane?"
The city's 12 casinos took in $3.05 billion last year, a decline of 8 percent from 2011. Eleven of the casinos posted annual declines; the Golden Nugget Atlantic City was up 4 percent for the year, to $130 million.
The arrival of casinos in Pennsylvania triggered the decline in New Jersey in 2007. It was worsened by the national financial collapse and an unsteady recovery.
Atlantic City's December revenue figures showed a slow rebound from Superstorm Sandy, which hit on Oct. 29 and forced the shutdown of the casinos for between five and seven days. The shutdown hurt October revenues, but decimated them in November, sending the city to a 27.9 percent decline, its biggest monthly plunge ever.
Rodio, who also runs the Tropicana Casino and Resort, said he sees numerous indications that business is slowly returning to normal in Atlantic City. Barring any weather disasters, he said 2013 could be a year of decent recovery.
The biggest loser in Atlantic City in 2012 was Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, which fell 25 percent to $102.5 million. Bally's Atlantic City was down nearly 22 percent for the year, to $296 million, and the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort was down 15.3 percent, to $295.4 million.
Resorts Casino Hotel was down 15.2 percent for the year, to $130.8 million; the Showboat casino Hotel was down 12.7 percent to $225.4 million, and Caesars Atlantic City was down 11.1 percent to $358.5 million.
Also down 11.1 percent for the year was the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel, which has drawn interest from an online gambling company interested in buying it. The casino won just over $127 million from gamblers. The Tropicana Casino and Resort was down nearly 10 percent for the year, to just under $250 million, and Harrah's Resort Atlantic City was down 9.1 percent to just over $399 million.
The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa was down 6 percent for the year, taking in more than $612 million from gamblers in the best showing of any Atlantic City casino in 2012.
The city's newest casino, Revel, won $122.3 million since opening on April 2. It had been counted on to help expand the Atlantic City market, but thus far has not done so.
Kevin DeSanctis, Revel's CEO, said he's confident the casino-resort is on the right track.
"In December, we continued to focus on our overall casino experience, which resulted in an improvement in our gaming revenue," he said. "In connection with the changes to our leadership team, we will continue to improve customer service and roll out new amenities for our guests, including the new Revel Card program, an all-new lounge for slot players similar to what we have for table players, and expansion of our dining options to offer a more accessibly-priced restaurant."
He also said Revel plans to add live gambling tables to its Digipit, along with multiple big-screen televisions for sports and other TV viewing. He also said Revel's UltraLounge now has high limit slots "which are being very well-received."
Jeff Vasser, president of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority, said the resort is continuing its recovery from Superstorm Sandy, which largely spared Atlantic City but damaged the homes of many of its customers in New Jersey and New York.
The number of conventions, trade shows and meetings held at the Atlantic City Convention Center in December 2012 increased by 20 percent compared to December 2011. That resulted in a 5 percent increase in occupied room nights and delegates, and a 2 percent increase in delegate, to just under $10 million in December.
