We are pleased with out performance in the fourth quarter. We met our previously announced guidance and more importantly achieved our operating margin goal. 2005 was a transition year for the company where we focused our efforts on continued revenue growth and initiatives that would deliver sustainable long-term profitable growth. |
We are proud that one of the leading providers of corporate and commercial card services to the public sector has chosen Concur Expense Service to help its customers streamline the expense reporting process. We are confident that both the bank and its travel and expense card customers will benefit significantly from this alliance. |
We are taking a bold step toward achieving something very special for Anoka County and the entire state of Minnesota. This partnership is one of the most significant development projects in state history, and it will bring unparalleled economic opportunity to Anoka County while taking the legacy of Vikings football to a new level. |

We are very excited and proud to have Harry Foster join Mentor's team of distinguished verification experts. His expertise in advanced verification methodologies reinforces Mentor's number one position in functional verification, and his appointment supports our strategy of being the clear leader in functional design verification. |
We are vulnerable for two reasons, the world has gotten smaller--more travel, we're more open and as business expands, we are more vulnerable. We are the most free nation in the world--a Constitution and a Bill of Rights. If we wanted to secure our borders or be a police state, we could, but we won't, because we are a free nation. |
We cannot shed tears about rising xenophobia at a time when we open opportunities for a person, who is not restrained by any moral force, to ravage sacred places, spit on his fatherland, and destroy his culture. Such a person will go and kill someone else on the basis of race or faith. There is one single and indivisible morality. |
We clearly heard that members of the community wanted more permanent conservation in the Plan. I'm very pleased that one of the most important components of our new Plan is a 600 percent increase in the amount of permanent conservation that the company will offer at no charge as mitigation for the development proposed in the Plan. |
We continue to believe that an expanded convention facility is a top priority and in the top three for the city. We hope we can go to a plan B and either have a new set of partners on the current site at the Congress Centre or look at something else. Whatever it is, we need to move it faster because the waiting around is too much. |
We continue to focus our attention on absolute volume growth driven by Customer and Firm trading activity. Ultimately, the success of an exchange must be based on its acceptance by these two constituencies. I am pleased to note that ISE remains the number one venue for Customer and Firm combined trading activity in equity options. |
We could still toast bagels and pastries. We stuck with Bean and Bagel until full power was restored. We did the pre-made items as normal. Luckily we made the pre-made items before the power outage. We were planning to send people to the D.C [Zorn Dining Commons] because they had generators to operate the building at full service. |
We couldn't hang onto the ball. I'd say a good portion of our turnovers were unforced errors. The ball came right to us and it dribbled right off our hands. I don't know if that's being afraid of them coming at us, but that's something we definitely have to work on, just being in more control and stronger with the ball on offense. |
We decide on what items to replace based on the demand and popularity of the item and also if it is our only copy of it. We are not going to replace CDs, however, since they are a large ticket item. As you can see, this causes a problem because we cannot replace everything and that means that our community will have to do without. |
We did a better job in the second half of taking care of the ball. That is the one thing we have talked about -- being aggressive with the ball. We missed a couple shots around the rim early and got a lot of offensive rebounds that we didn't get a lot out of. But over the course of the game, it turned out a lot like I expected it. |
We did not play very focused and didn't execute on offense, defense or fast break. We started the game down 15-0 and fought back to tie the game in the third quarter at 33, but we let Sweeny go on a 16-0 run. We had too many mental breakdowns, and we need to win some games on the road to have a shot at doing something in district. |
