Yobaba I like this

Yobaba is a 57 year old married woman from Portland, Oregon, USA.
"Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can." - Dalai Lama

From the page: "The worst problem was found in American Samoa, where reported catches for the FAO period were 1,525 metric tons, but the authors' reconstruction put at 25,380 tons. Three- and fourfold underestimates were common. The authors believe further analysis will in many cases lead to even higher results. In a few cases catches were overreported, but this was due to countries such as Vanuatu allowing foreign vessels to register there, leading to foreign catches being counted in a country's official tally."
