I want to wish all of our readers a very Happy & Prosperous 2009. It is with great anticipation that we say goodbye to 2008, especially the last few months, and hello to 2009. We have so many changes on the horizon so let us all stand together to rebuild our country and individual lives.
Best of luck in the new year.

Gotta Love Lists
Who doesn't love a list of top ten weight loss tips, best new year's resolutions and banished words... wait, what? Yes, there is a list of banished words. As public relations professionals, we can appreciate strange lists like this one: Lake Superior State University's List 2009 List of Banished Words.
In 1975, the LSSU public relations director and his colleagues started a list of words that were overused, mis-used and just not useful. Some of this year's banished words are green, maverick, bailout, Wall Street/Main Street and the first emoticon that resembles a heart: <3.
So do you agree with this list or are they missing words that should be on there?
As Merriam-Webster adds words each year, LSSU banishes them! Have a little fun and brush up on your vocabulary. Make it your New Year's Resolution to learn a new word each day!
