Sorry about that:
"Our "Sperling Stress Index" is comprised of nine different factors that are associated with stress: unemployment rate, divorce rate, commute time, violent and property crime rates, suicide rate, alcohol consumption, self-reported "poor mental health," and number of cloudy days."

That would suck. That article mentions Laura Small - my family's law firm represented her.

That's rather shocking, given all of the skinny twentysomethings you see roaming around NW. Must be the folks in the other quadrants.

There's no doubt it will and I can't see it being a positive at all. I 'm really bummed for Tony, but he seems to think Joe's son JD will do a fine job managing the racing team.
