Construction spending is always a lagging economic indicator, especially in commercial construction, because of the time it takes to plan, execute and build. I expect housing to be a stabilizer, but commercial construction to be a drag on economic growth for a while to come. |
Corruption is a major cause of poverty as well as a barrier to overcoming it, ... The two scourges feed off each other, locking their populations in a cycle of misery. Corruption must be vigorously addressed if aid is to make a real difference in freeing people from poverty. |
critically important entity in Putnam County. Our charge is to bring solid, reliable and successful businesses into the county, providing jobs while assisting the heavily burdened residential property owner with needed tax relief. More business means added sales tax revenue. |
Damon Allen is obviously the starting quarterback, but I'm coming in with the mind-set that I want to be a starter. I'm going to come and compete for a job, and if it's as a backup that's where it is ... I'm excited to have (Damon) there. It's going to be a big boost for me. |
Dave and Judy, Toby's parents, are still trying to deal with all of it right now. We don't know a whole lot. Our only contact with the Army is through the sergeant who is responsible for making his arrangements. We're supposed to know a little more this (Thursday) afternoon. |
Dealer reaction to the program has been overwhelmingly positive. They welcomed the opportunity to bring in new customers who might not have previously considered buying a Hummer. We anticipate 100 percent of Hummer dealers will participate in the certified pre-owned program. |
Delta is the cream of our conference, they really are. They're where you want to get to. I feel we're knocking on the door. To have the opportunity to play for the conference tonight against this Delta team -- it was big for our program. But yet, we're still not quite there. |
Department stores are already focusing on rejecting shipments from vendors that they ordered. They are also looking to promote inventory they already have in hand. As we get through the season, department stores are going to be brutal in throwing merchandise back to vendors. |
Derek also is very unselfish. He will always hit the open guy, which is the mark of a good player. He realizes that it takes all five guys on the floor to win the game. Even though he could go out and score 40 or 50 points, he knows that we wouldn't win many games like that. |
Developers have to be able to work in unison, as a team, regardless of where they are. Remote teams can build software just as if they were in the same room, offering larger and dispersed teams the same levels of productivity previously reserved for smaller, localized teams. |
Dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second. |

Doubling the flip was a bit uncharacteristic as I haven't done that in over two years. I didn't run out of room for the second jump. My leg was swinging too wild and I couldn't control it enough for the second triple but that wasn't as important as landing the (triple) Axel. |
Doug is a leader who understands the major responsibility borne by an executive both in the business-employment sense and the civic sense. US Airways clearly sees Greater Philadelphia as a key market in its future and they want to play a role in growing our regional economy. |
Doug was a one-man show in the first half. He was fantastic. He hit some great shots with a defensive man on him. Eastern started gambling in the second half and double-teamed Doug. Ross did a nice job slipping to the hole. He also made a couple of nice drives to the basket. |
