If you've got flat revenues, rising costs, then that will squeeze your profits and that is the scenario I think people are concerned about at the moment. What I would say of course is that we shouldn't forget that cargo volumes have been rising very fast, cargo yields have been rising double digits ... to the extent that oil prices rise it really doesn't matter if it's a short term price spike. |
In our opinion, the supply and demand dynamics have set the stage for a multi-year bull market for gold. Even as companies begin new projects, decreased exploration in the 1990s has caught up with the industry. It generally takes a few years for a new mine to become operational. The gap between production and consumption of gold should widen as output likely stagnates and physical demand rises. |
In some cases the same optimized gene can be used in multiple crops, and in other cases, part of the optimization process includes crop-specific aspects. Gene shuffling technology should help Pioneer identify and develop a number of next-generation traits to help plants survive and perform better against agronomic and environmental stresses, including numerous diseases, plant pests and drought. |
In the second half, we made some big shots. We took the press off when Withers got in foul trouble. Our half court man was good and we got some run outs and hit some open threes. We hit a huge stretch. Being up 13 on Richmond is like being up 20 on most teams. I was pleased with our defensive effort with their style of play. They can hurt you and we were much better tonight than the first game. |
Instead of having a kind of blame game, with the countries which have targets saying to the others you're wrong not to accept targets, and the countries without targets saying to the others deliver your targets and we'll speak to you after - why not do our homework within Kyoto, but at the same time open up a broader process including everyone, in order to improve our capacity to work together? |
It gets pointed at McMahon, but it's not all him. Everybody around him, me included, needs to pick up our games and make sure we're running the routes the right way and we're catching the football. You can't have six or seven drops like we did Saturday. We have to protect a little better. I have to make sure I'm getting him in situations and the receivers in situations where they can do things. |
It has become clear since the list was published that the Air Force abused the BRAC process by discriminating against Air National Guard Units and by making programmatic aircraft location changes not within the scope of the BRAC law, ... Additionally, neither I nor my Adjutant General was consulted before the 131st was included on the BRAC list, which makes the realignment of the 131st illegal. |
It is a problem but it is a good problem. And it is going to become more so as we continue to be good. We are going to have to get more seats, do something with the traffic and parking. It is a learning process for all of us and we keep learning more as we go through it. This definitely takes things to a new level. It's one thing about the ACC -- we never had problems like this in the Big East. |
It is doubly important for African American women to pay attention to heart disease and stroke risk factors because the prevalence of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases is 44.7 percent for African American women compared to 32.4 percent in white women. We want women to know their risk factors and support each other in making the right choices everyday to reduce their risks. |

It is now clear that radiotherapy saves lives in women who have had breast-conserving surgery and in women whose cancer has substantial spread to the armpit, even if they have already had a mastectomy. This should encourage women who are offered radiotherapy to go ahead and have the treatment. It may also encourage doctors to consider more women for radiotherapy than they have done in the past. |
It is probably true that lots of places get by without (such a plan). But I think it adds enormous value because, in a university, there are so many good ideas ... you could easily spend all your time chasing after just a small fraction of those great ideas. The net result would be individual examples of success, but the institution as a whole would only be significantly better off by accident. |
It just happened to be woven into the dialogue. I think that's great. It's revolutionary in many ways, not to make a big deal of it. The difference between being out and coming out and being out just means being open and honest about who you are. I'm not on a show with a pink triangle or [rainbow] flag. I'm just me on the show and being me, which means that being gay is just a part of who I am. |
It was an interesting start to the 2006 season in Bahrain, which gave us the first opportunity to understand how the new qualifying and tyre change regulations would operate in race weekend conditions, and to gauge our genuine competitiveness compared with the other teams. Of the latter, it was a reassuring race for Team McLaren Mercedes with the performance of the car meeting our expectations. |
It was awesome to watch what the big-league players did here last season, winning it all, but you can't get caught up in trying to compare yourself to someone. It's about worrying about what you are doing, and doing the little things. That's what they're looking for. They just don't want the guy hitting .400. They want the guy that will move the runner over and do what it takes to win the game. |
