Between car payments, getting married, buying property, having children, dealing with deaths, most people walk a very tight rope with debt. They make the huge mistake of only making minimum payments. Once something goes wrong in their lives and they need money fast ? they are at a major loss. |
Bosnia and Herzegovina has done what many said was impossible even a year ago, let alone at the start of my mandate in May 2002. For the country now stands at the gates of Europe. This is a truly remarkable achievement for a country as war-torn as Bosnia and Herzegovina was just 10 years ago. |
Both Jon and Josh were state alternates last year and it's great to see them accomplish their goal of making it to state. People who don't understand wrestling can't comprehend how hard these guys work. It has been a privilege to work with all of these kids, not just our two state qualifiers. |
Both the U.S. and Japan realize that it's not in Japan's economic interest to have a stronger yen, and they don't need anything that could potentially short-circuit that. It's probably the case that the U.S. will be willing to help them out a bit, which is what the market will be looking for. |
Brett's the sort of bowler that's going to be attacking and at the batsman, which probably suits me a bit more than other guys because I'm trying to get the ball to swing. If Brett's attacking and being aggressive at one end and I'm doing the right thing at the other, it's a good combination. |
Businesses are starting to ramp up spending on new equipment and technology and consumer spending looked relatively strong in January, despite predictions that they were tapped out. This may mean fewer job cuts in the months ahead as companies try to meet the steady demand for their products. |
But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done, / Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon. |
Caramelized onions add a complex sweetness to any dish — and work especially well with the pork in this sausage. My mother made sausage with marjoram on holidays, so this is a special flavor for me. This isn't necessarily a classic sausage flavor combination, but it's one that really works. |
Certainly, the Vioxx litigation has really made drug companies a little more concerned about promoting these products directly to the patient. When you're promoting drugs to [consumers], unless they're fully cognizant of the drawbacks and the side effects, you create a liability for yourself. |
Cincinnati is going to be great, because they have four seniors. I think people are maybe underrating Cincinnati because they lost a legendary coach. But Andy Kennedy is a terrific coach and they have four seniors and it would not surprise me to see them win this conference. |
Clearly she was talked out of the race the last time around (in 2004) and clearly she had conversations with Karl Rove and others in D.C. who didn't want her to run this time. I don't think she's the right person at the right time, and I don't think there is a right time for Katherine Harris. |
Coming into the game we pretty much knew we were going to be outmatched. A little bit more than what I guess we even thought. They're very athletic, very quick. We couldn't get the ball where we wanted to go in our offense. They just met the basketball before we did and jumped in front of us. |
Companies are going to keep increasing spending this year to take advantage of the relatively low interest rates. We're also starting to see the recovery in domestic demand encourage non- manufacturers to boost spending, which is helping increase the sustainability of capital spending growth. |
Congress has no incentive to rein in pork, because pork helps lawmakers get campaign contributions and get re-elected. It is entirely predictable that Congress would create the illusion of reform while retaining the system that allows them to sell government grants for campaign contributions. |
Consumers will be empowered by this legislation because it would create a healthy insurance environment that fosters increased competition and product innovation, rather than the present patchwork state regulatory system, which has not kept pace with the marketplace needs of the 21st century. |
