The response of consumers and suppliers to the recent changes in energy markets in New Hampshire has been quick and sophisticated. The concepts and principles first laid out in state policy in 1996 have now been proven out and customers are pocketing the savings from competitive electricity transactions. |
The robust gain in economic output in the fourth quarter will combine with only a modest rise in hours worked to generate another spectacular increase in productivity for the quarter. Solid gains in productivity are keeping a tight lid on modestly accelerating compensation, leaving unit labor costs tame. |
The Santa Fe Route, or the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which has in modern times developed into one of the largest and most profitable railroad systems in this country, was projected long before the idea of a transcontinental line to the Pacific coast had taken full possession of men's minds. |
The secretary of state was presented with a sufficient number of signatures based on the judgment of county boards of election. Based on that number and our interpretation of Ohio law, that completes the certification procedure, and we must forward the petitions to the General Assembly for consideration. |
The secretary-general sees the fund as an innovative and flexible mechanism for advancing the UN democracy agenda. The fund will support projects aimed at consolidating and strengthening democratic institutions and processes, such as the drafting of constitutions and the development of pluralistic media. |
The Shootout trophies sit right next to my championship trophies, ... My rookie year, I think the only thing we didn't do was win the championship. We won all the big races that year, Gainesville, Englishtown and Indy, and then to close out the year with a win in the Shootout made for a storybook season. |
The similarities to Ireland are very close in East Tennessee. We wanted to build a subdivision that sort of reflected a little bit of where we were raised. ... When it's finished, I think it will have a lot of the look. You know, it's kind of like a little piece of Ireland in the hills of East Tennessee. |

The sooner we get the constitution over and done with, the faster we can move at rebuilding the state and rebuilding the country. So a delay is not a good thing, but it's not a disaster. If people want to say more, and that's what it is, then that will set the ball rolling for the new round of elections. |
The Steelers won three playoff games in a row on the road; they are a mentally tough team. And they are one of the most physical teams I saw all year. When it comes to physicality and mental toughness, they are a hard team to beat. Plus, it seems like they have one of those destiny things going for them. |
The team has been practicing real hard the last three weeks. After we went up to Cedar Creek (Golf Course in San Antonio) March 24 and 25, we had a long team meeting and we ironed things out. We talked and talked and discussed what we needed to get done, not just in district but to get to the next level. |
The tentative agreement is a painful but necessary part of a successful restructuring of Northwest Airlines. Throughout these negotiations, our goal has been a consensual agreement.

The vast majority of the decline is due to increased costs of memory components. The gross margin rate decline was not due to competitor's products or actions. This is a cost matter, not a competitive pricing issue. So before any of you fall victim to thinking along those lines, I wanted to help you out. |
The vice president needed to come on television and humanize himself a little bit to say that it was the worst day of his life and that he really was deeply concerned. I am not sure this is going to be enough, though. I suspect there will continue to be a lot of pressure for him to answer more questions. |
