Has anyone heard of the Chicago Uniform Project?
Um. I have, but that's probably obvious, considering.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thanks for all the kind words, everyone!

Good luck, tommyrot!
Punctuation question: "newly developed engagement and outreach strategies" takes a hyphen between "newly" and "developed," right? Edit: Huh! My coworker says no.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
No. Adverbs modify adjectives; it's what they do. There's no confusion there. Although I see it all the time.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
takes a hyphen between "newly" and "developed," right?
No. An adverb clearly modifies the adjective. A hyphen is needed when there are two or more adjectives, to make it clear that one adjective is modifying the other, rather than both modifying the noun.
