The program has been successful in eliminating raccoon rabies from the St. Lawrence River Valley. So far this year the health department has confirmed two rabid bats and one rabid raccoon in Oswego County. An immunized raccoon population will decrease rabies exposure to people and domestic animals. |
The recent power outages highlight the importance that needs to be placed on a business obtaining professional advice on its potential risks and business disruptions, having a contingency plan in place and regularly testing its effectiveness, as well as challenging the perception of possible risks. |
The recognition and understanding of the need was the primary condition of the creative act. When people feel they had to express themselves for originality for its own sake, that tends not to be creativity. Only when you get into the problem and the problem becomes clear, can creativity take over. |
The Red Cross didn't ask FEMA to come in. We serve people through the Red Cross. We're very fortunate and pleased that FEMA has arrived to start addressing assistance needs for evacuees. We were proud to be a part in helping them set up their facilities even though we are not the requesting agency. |
The requirement is that priorities need to be established first, they need to be approved by the state school board, and then you go about doing a plan. You don't do it backwards, you don't develop a plan without the state school board first setting those priorities, and that was the fatal problem. |
The sad part is, there will be no problem selling out those $1,000 parties. Playboy will be in the same venue at $2,000 a pop, and people will spend all kinds of money. But we struggle because we don't have Playboy bunnies. We in the nonprofits are doing everything but selling ourselves at auction. |
The second half will show some better growth. Will that be sustained past the second half? For that, two things have to happen: we have to see a pickup in business spending, and the labor market has to stabilize and improve, creating permanent employment. We don't expect to see that until year-end. |
The senator has spent some of his campaign funds to raise awareness about an important Senate initiative to provide real and genuine property tax relief for the people of his district. At times, it is appropriate to use paid advertising to do that so you can provide a more focused awareness effort. |
The shouting is going to be up to the coaches, if it happens. But, when you lose, 3-0, 3-2, and you're facing a lot of good pitching, what are you going to say? We haven't won much, and I understand that gets magnified. But the effort is there consistently. Besides, this game's played on the field. |
The show that made the biggest impression on me was ‘Sea Hunt.' I watched Lloyd Bridges in it, and that's how I decided to be an actor. I'd act out the whole show in the bathtub. I was 3 or 4 at the time. When Lloyd guest starred on ‘Seinfeld,' I told him the story and he got such a kick out of it. |
The sluggish economy, declining consumer confidence, widespread layoffs and the tragic events of Sept. 11 appear likely to hold down holiday spending as we head into the final five weeks of the year. But retail outlets offering the price-conscious consumer a good buy may fare better than projected. |
The starting lineup has been solid. Some nights they get off to good starts, some nights they don't. If you do make a change in the starting lineup, it kind of singles out a guy. I think we're close to having a lot more wins than we have and I don't think changing the starting lineup does anything. |
The stock market could be on track for a recovery. The stock market is one of the key leading economic indicators and it tends to turn up about six months before the official end of recession. So, if in fact it stays up now, it would be signaling that the recession could be over sometime next June. |
The subject of scars comes up several times. And one of the things that appeals to me is that in the end, there's no promise made that everything's going to be wonderful. There's hope, but there's no promise. You just get the feeling that these people have finally broken through each other's armor. |
The superintendent asked for their new job descriptions to be evaluated in terms of their placement on the central office salary schedule. The review by the human resources department concluded that their salaries should be increased and the superintendent approved the changes for both individuals. |
