The Army Corps of Engineers has a very large budget, and it has grown a lot over recent years. To the extent there's been any limitation of [the Corps'] budget, it has to do with previous tendencies to build marinas and things that don't have much to do with preparing us for disaster. |

The audience finds the information about them in their voices, in their subtexts, in their facial expressions, in the emotions that are expressed or not expressed. It's the same with actors: You come to know them through what they themselves put out, and not by what we say about them. |

The basic salary will remain as it is for the present but will be brought down after a few tours if they are not performing. We will assess their performances after about three to four tours and increase the incentives accordingly. We have laid emphasis for winning matches and series. |
The big thing was Curt Schilling, he was obviously on top of his game. It's disappointing. A lot of people took time out of their day to be out here, and we would have liked to have won the game. It was a pretty exciting day. Only one bad thing happened today, and that's that we lost. |
The biggest positive was handset margins, which came in at 4 percent, up from 1.5 percent last quarter and our 3 percent forecast. Given fairly weak orders -- down 1 percent from last year -- and our own supply-chain checks, we suspect Motorola will reduce its 2000 unit shipment plan. |
The biggest problem that I see in officiating is in basketball, with everybody going to three-man crews. Soon there will be three-man crews for every game, both boys and girls. Let's say there are 200 varsity games in the state on a given night. That means you need 200 more officials. |
The black farmer, working hard for his own, became the living symbol of the strong, independent black man. Farming also allowed black families to move into other businesses, from funeral homes to preaching to construction, and thus served as the bedrock of all black wealth in America. |
The breadth of the increase currently is substantially less than the earlier increases, insofar as it only applies to sale fares, which are only available for the sale for next seven days, and it excludes Northwest markets. The increases are primarily only other airlines' hub markets. |
The bricks will be put in front of the new gym on Overlook [Avenue] that will be right near the main entrance. It will be like a little concourse or patio area. The design has still not been settled. We want to see how much room we have. But we have plenty of room for a lot of bricks. |
The briefing highlighted many unanswered questions about (Iran's nuclear) program, and it also reported on new questions, including questions pointing directly to a military dimension, including the fabrication of nuclear weapons components and the design of missile re-entry vehicles. |

The Budget proposal would be good for consumers, but States would lose revenues. All the State Finance Ministers who attended today's meeting demanded 100 per cent compensation from the Centre for loss of revenues from this move. I think it is only fair that they be fully compensated. |
The case is on appeal now and we expect to be successful. I feel sorry for Hazel Park. Like all municipalities at low tide in revenues, to have to put up with a frivolous lawsuit is difficult for Hazel Park and its residents. They will have to spend hard-earned dollars (to defend it). |
