75% of actively managed mutual funds under-perform the major indexes. And going it alone without a good plan doesn't work either. Gut-feeling, emotional stock selection strategies offer little chance of obtaining superior returns. Rather they often result in lower returns and much higher levels of risk. |
A big part of our success was we had all the kids in the lineup perform. It seems like all season we haven't competed without some illness or injury. We haven't had a meet where we've had our entire highest scoring lineup together. It was nice to finally have everyone at the same place at the same time. |
A Christine Lavin show combines music, comedy, knitting, twirling, a little science and education, some audience participation, and a whole lot of fun. She often holds knitting circles in her dressing room before the show, and the audience is always invited - that's what really inspired this fundraiser. |
A company that would emerge from this bankruptcy would probably be centered around these core energy assets, and we've always talked about putting them on the auction block. If all of them sell, we would be looking at winding down the rest of the estate to maximize the amount of value for the creditors. |
A couple weeks after (we fought), I called up for a meeting with him and tried to patch things up. Still, I couldn't. He was still arrogant and still saying that he deserves a shot and he can beat me. So I don't know. I don't think he'll ever change. And that's fine with me. It doesn't bother me at all. |

A full audit of software located on our company computers discovered that an employee had installed software for which we had not paid licensing fees. Since then, we have implemented a robust software management program to more closely monitor installations of software programs on all company computers. |
A lot of Americans have some view of the Constitution as just this thing that was handed down [intact]. But it really was the result of months and months of wrangling and disputation and ultimately compromise. That's where the brilliance of the American system is -- it's always been built on compromise. |
A lot of these kids are back or on their way back to New Orleans. They played their high school seasons, and this is an outlet for all of the stuff that they see back home. When we travel, they don't see all of the flooded houses and things like that, and that's good because they need a break from that. |
A major concern of users of this form of valve is its reliability, and the high costs associated with in-service failures and down-time. Our design goals were to increase the typical cycle life and reliability that users can expect from a rising plug valve, while also creating a cost effective solution. |
A real 'karma-yogi', who first acquires knowledge and then works for the welfare of people, quite naturally becomes popular and famous. There is no enemy of such a man but even if there are, he is able to vanquish them. His popularity in the society increases on account of his successes and good deeds. |

Accounting will likely maintain its place as the most popular EAS module as it is the core of any implementation. But the real hotspot was the reemergence of CRM. The improving economy liberated budgets, and Microsoft's entry into the market will raise the profile of CRM and boost sales for all vendors. |
Achieving five nines is the goal and we have experienced better than 99.8% year-over-year which has been remarkable. The solutions provided by Choice Logistics have enabled us to meet and exceed our service goals and gain a competitive edge in the increasingly competitive enterprise service marketplace. |
Actually, it was a combination of all three of those things. Our offense is designed to be able to run the football against any defense we face. We just didn't do that very well in our first game. So we went back to the basics and looked at some things, and hopefully we'll have it corrected by Saturday. |
