Last year was our first year in the league and my first year in the league as a head coach. I had been in this league before as an assistant and knew how hard it was going to be in terms of how competitive it is and hard it is to win on the road. I think our kids are better at it after going through it one time. We're more experienced and now that we have Anthony Harris back, I think we're playing better basketball. |
Last year was such an amazing experience for me personally. It helped a great deal that I had so much confidence in my equipment - especially my driver and golf ball. It's no secret on tour that Callaway makes the most technologically superior equipment in the game. That had a tremendous amount to do with the success I enjoyed last season, and I am extremely happy to be continuing my relationship with Callaway Golf. |
Left to my own imagination, I could never have composed a scenario that was anywhere as interesting as my life has been: starting out as an eager altar boy, a good Boy Scout, a relatively docile Dominican brother and priest, receiving an advanced degree in spirituality, teaching bishops and many others around the world about our Western spiritual tradition, and then ending up being expelled from the Dominican order. |
Like the other bidding cities, we will be our making final efforts to communicate the essential message of the London bid, ... We arrived here early to allow us to focus on finalizing our presentation. This has been a good opportunity to finalize the scripts, to take a further look at our visual material and to arrive in the centre of Singapore refreshed and better able to focus on the conversations we need to have. |
Many users will be used to receiving dodgy sounding business propositions in their inbox, promising them a fortune. These schemes, however, only make money for the criminals behind them. Over the last couple of years, we have seen more 419 solicitations with Dutch phone numbers than those of any other nation, including Nigeria, though the Dutch-based 419ers are of course Nigerians operating primarily from Amsterdam. |
Mark Antony in his famous funeral oration in Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' says that he came not to praise Caesar, but to bury him. This week, at the funeral for the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, two of the speakers, Jimmy Carter and Rev. Joseph Lowery, might have opened their remarks by saying that they came not to bury Coretta Scott King, but to bash [President] Bush, which is exactly what they proceeded to do. |
Merck, too, is down on recent news, down in this case from around 85, ... You keep hearing a little bit of concern about their patent expirations over the next two years. Those are very real. But most of analysts say their drug pipeline is pretty solid and their earnings are project to be some 15-to-18 percent for the next couple of years. This is a great investment with which to balance out your high-tech holdings. |
Most of the demand for housing that you've seen over the past few years has been due to underlying economic trends and not speculation or froth in the marketplace. Interest rates are still favorable for financing housing. Family formation continues to grow at a healthy clip. Income is growing. Employment is growing. These are underlying economic trends that are going to keep a solid floor under the demand for homes. |
Nobody has ever done this DVD technology before; no other sports team, because it's so new. We'll have the opportunity to really transform the way video coaching and scouting are done. It's kind of old-school to have to send people around to watch the game when you have all these feeds of it already. Our coaching staff isn't ready to make that change yet, but once they become comfortable with the system, they could. |
Of course there are all the negative reviews, which also are incredibly important. Hilton Kramer hated the work, and if he had loved it I would have wanted to commit suicide. I still remember to this day that he called me a lunatic and he said the work is the kind of trash that washed ashore when the tide of pop art went out... and I thought, Gee, if he doesn't like what I'm doing, then I must be on the right track. |
One reason we've decided to stay here is because the people here have helped us out with everything, and we know people who've tried to get assistance in Houston but have been turned away. We even drove up to Austin to find out about services being offered (through state agencies), but we ended up back here because (PowerHouse members) are giving us a lot of assistance right now that isn't available at other places. |
One significant provision calls for ships to meet ballast water discharge standard according to a schedule of fixed dates -- beginning with certain ships constructed in 2009. These fixed dates serve as a signal to both the shipping industry and the emerging ballast water treatment industry of the need for investment, plans and ballast water treatment equipment inventory to meet ballast water management requirements. |
Our major customers already garner tremendous value from our process simulation applications. Aspen Simulation Workbook enables those customers to extend that value, and to make it accessible to a broader range of non-expert users. This creates significant new potential to use process models as part of day-to-day operational decision-making, as well as increasing efficiency and productivity during conceptual design. |
Overall, utilities are doing a better job at communicating with their business customers, which can go a long way toward improving customer satisfaction. With all of the news about rising energy prices, and with another year of major storm events, electric utilities had to be clear about what they were doing to help business customers. Communications is the area utilities have improved the most since our 2004 study. |
Participating in National Organizing Day events in communities across the country is an ideal way for Stonewall chapters and members to participate in the Democratic Party's effort to organize for victory all over the country. By making a small effort in our hometowns on April 29, we can further a national effort that will deliver a Democratic victory in November and substantive change that will follow Election Day. |
