And "Barriers" I don't get -- unless you think we might stand in the way of Boston's success. I think the name was very well chosen and seems intended to suggest the tough, mafioso spirit of Tony Soprano, complete with the bloody fist and brass knuckles. And you can't beat NJKO for an abbreviation -- neatly corresponding to the four fingers that wear it. It's a good fighting name, and I frankly can't think of one better. NJ Innovators? Thomas Edison lived here, after all. But that's too close to "Inventors." NJ Turnpikes? NJ Gardeners? NJ Nightmares?
