Interestingly, both the Chinese and Russians have expressed interest in some form of international effort to place curbs on such attacks. The Russians have gone so far as to formally propose via the Secretary General of the United Nations the development of 'an international legal regime' to combat information crime and terrorism. |
Investors who are in an actively managed small-cap fund that has had high returns for several years and has grown in size should expect management to eventually close the fund to new investors. Two examples of funds that did this are Dreyfus Mid Cap Value and Artisan Mid Cap Value , which announced they were closing in early 2002. |
Ironically, these rains bring little respite. While they have alleviated the immediate need for water, there is increased risk of people falling sick from drinking contaminated water, while livestock deaths have continued because the animals are too weak and vulnerable to diseases such as pneumonia when temperatures drop at night. |
It became one of those things out of necessity that I wanted to give it a shot and thought I could do a good job of it, ... I went down there and committed myself to doing it. I haven't really thought about starting because of it. I just went down there and said, 'This is what I'm going to try to do and do the best I can with it.' |
It can be frustrating to watch our offense. But that's us right now. And you know what? Once we get over that hump and those bad things stop happening to us in the red zone, we're going to be unstoppable. With our defense, it's going to be fun. It's going to be real fun. Until then, we keep fighting and keep winning games our way. |
It challenges the teens to go beyond their comfort zones physically, mentally and spiritually to become better servant leaders. They?re challenged physically by the high ropes, mentally by the talks given by team members and the workshops and spiritually through the faith sharing in their small groups and their prayer experiences. |
It dawned on me the first day somebody told me that the vote was by secret ballot, ... that people vote for their friends. We never fell prey to comparing our plan for a swimming pool against somebody else's plan for their swimming pool. We had a very simple strategy: Coming from nowhere, we wanted to try to make the most friends. |
It does feel good, at least for a half. But the thing was, at halftime, I really wasn't worried about me scoring. I had two points, but I'm maturing in a sense I'm not going to force shots like I did the past weekend. That's part of being a team player. I don't want to be passive, but I'm not going to go out hunting shots anymore. |
It has a much faster pace than football or boxing. And it's something the younger generation has been accustomed to now: instant solutions and continuous action. This also may be a way for men to show their manhood, so to speak (when they gather to watch these events as fans). It's male bonding and a way to show that one is tough. |
It hasn't always been easy. We've had bumps in the roads both years. We've won some games we weren't supposed to win, and we've lost some games we were supposed to win. But in the end, the last two years, we won the last game to get into the playoffs. So from that standpoint, we put the expectations on ourselves. We expect to win. |
It is appalling the way they deliberately set out to mislead smokers about the toxins in tobacco smoke knowing full well these machine measurements do not reflect how people smoke and therefore how much carbon monoxide and other toxins they are inhaling. We need a major overhaul of the system for measuring toxins in tobacco smoke. |
It is critically important for the administration to move quickly to appoint credible new economic leaders who understand Main Street America and the investing public; who are committed to creating new jobs all across America; and who will focus on restoring confidence in the financial markets and addressing corporate malfeasance, |
It is evident that companies of all sizes continue to struggle in achieving SOX compliance in an efficient and cost effective manner. The addition of Mitch to our team of highly skilled professionals complements our existing efforts in this area, and enables us to provide greater assistance to clients with their regulatory issues. |
It is ridiculous that the media doesn't pick up every story where a child disappears from their home. It's horrible. But at the same time, without those stories that do make it ... this wouldn't even be in our consciousness. So whatever the reason, I'm grateful because the level of national awareness is higher than it's ever been. |
