The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has completed research that clearly demonstrates booster seats reduce the risk of injury by nearly 60 percent when compared to safety belts alone. When we compared types of injuries between booster seat users and those who used seat belts alone, we found that children in booster seats suffered virtually no abdominal or spinal injuries while children in seat belts suffered injuries to every body region. |
The Derby and Oaks fans from throughout our region and across the United States, along with those that join us from around the world readily and easily adjusted to the major changes in our security and hospitality procedures when they were implemented four years ago. These procedures are now a regular part of the Derby and Oaks experience, and many patrons have told us that they enjoy these marvelous days of racing more now than ever before. |
The judicial authorities are imposing a grim ordeal on three journalists under pressure from the governor of an unstable state. The Nigerian press is still in the grip of harsh legislation, a brutal police force and authoritarian governors. On this New Year's Eve, we call for their release and we reiterate our commitment to the independent press and, in particular, to the three Port Harcourt prisoners who are exposed to dangerous challenges. |
The Rangers could spend $80 million before, now they cannot do it, ... Every time they make a move, it's got to be a good move and make sense. Before, because we could spend money here in New York, you had to get somebody to satisfy the fans and sometimes too much is not good. You need a lot of hard-working guys and every superstar needs their ice time to be that superstar. If you've got so many of them, somebody is going to get left behind. |

The Voting Rights Act, whose 40th anniversary we celebrate this month, has helped minorities elect 81 sitting members of Congress and thousands of local officials. But the rally civil rights groups held in Atlanta earlier this month to push for extension of the act's key temporary provisions downplayed those gains and instead pushed wild claims that some state laws requiring an ID to vote are the functional equivalent of Jim Crow poll taxes, |
The world men inhabit is rather bleak. It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else. |
There are many who say that the entrenched interests -- television, alumni, legislators, among others -- will never truly accept anything less than a continuation of the status quo, ... But that is simply unacceptable. As educators, we have an obligation to try to make things better. I love college sports. However, institutions of higher learning are in danger of being torn apart by the win-at-all-costs culture we have created for ourselves. |
There's absolutely no reason for this corporation to refuse to recognize the Sterling workers' demands for a decent settlement. Sales are at their highest level in history and profit is way up, in fact the commercial vehicles division was responsible for 42 per cent of DaimlerChrysler's operating profit. The bargaining committee and the membership have worked extremely hard in a very difficult environment to improve quality and productivity. |
These are common-sense revisions that eliminate serious obstacles to patients getting needed care and services quickly while continuing to protect patients' privacy. For example, sick patients will not be forced to visit the pharmacy themselves to pick up prescriptions -- and could send a family member or friend instead. Doctors will be able to consult with nurses and others involved in a patient's care to ensure that they get the best care, |
They have set a good example by being positive throughout the season. A few of the guys who don't play as much are extremely supportive of those who do in both practices and games. They have realized what being a teammate means and this is a good example for our underclassmen. The younger players definitely appreciate their efforts and they respect the commitment they have made to the team. This is certainly an indication of their character. |
To be effective in today's marketplace, financial institutions must ensure that their interactions with customers provide added value -- they must be timely, have appropriate content and respect the consumers' preferences for communications methods. Whether the message is for marketing, improving service, or fraud prevention, consumers have become more demanding and their expectation is for meaningful, time-sensitive, content-rich dialogues. |
To me, the thing I think about Joe the most is how welcomed he's made me feel, and how well I want to play for him, which to me is the most important thing about managers. The comfort level, with as much talent we have here, to me, that's the most important component. It's not really X's and O's. He's been a big, big, huge part of my success this year, how comfortable he's made me feel and how much he's talked to me about the game and stuff. |
To not allow first responders, state and local law enforcement officers the option of using this technology in the event of a terrorist threat or attack places the physical safety of the public, as well as that of our protectors, in jeopardy. This is about saving lives. Government Acts should further the public interests and in a post-9/11 world, radio frequency jamming technology is a crucially important tool in the fight against terrorism. |
