The testing we've done on asphalt so far has been good and we're pleased with the starting ground. Petter certainly has a shot at winning every rally, but our eye will always be on the championship. We start each event looking to win, but we won't sacrifice points at the expense of the title. If a win is on the cards in Monte Carlo we will go for it, but if the weather doesn't suit us we'll strategically go for points - this isn't a case of Monte Carlo or bust! |
The United States of America is prosperous and free. But storm clouds gather on our horizon. Our national security is challenged by the continued malfeasance of Saddam Hussein. Our economic security is challenged by a growing worldwide recession. Our future is bedeviled by too many schools that perform poorly and by a Social Security system in need of reform. The President has the responsibility to tell us his thoughts on how to confront these growing problems, |
The widespread acceptance of mobile messaging has created a pervasive and valuable new marketing opportunity for brands which is, in turn, creating a significant revenue opportunity for mobile operators. With reliable infrastructure in place and a means to control and measure campaigns, the starting gun will have gone off and it will be a race to create and deliver the most effective mobile marketing initiatives to subscribers that are more receptive than ever. |
There are a number of statistics to indicate that about half of the world's population has yet to make their first phone call, ... And our investment thesis is that over time, almost all of those users who make that first phone call will do so over a wireless phone. Nokia (NOK) indicated yesterday that there are about 520 million wireless subscribers today, and that number is expected to top a billion in 2002. We think it could top a billion and a half by 2004. |

These rare and important treasures of art need to be returned to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and be on view again for the general public. When people often talk of the monetary value of works of art, the value of artworks extends far beyond such a measure. Let this year, as we embark on our Centennial celebrations, be further celebrated by the return of these stolen treasures to the Gardner -- and to a waiting public ready to join in on the celebration. |
They deserve it. They've been wrestling hard all year. Working hard all year. I'm proud of them. Winning four consecutive team titles is saying something. It's not a testament to me or what I've done. It's the kids, tradition and the program. And that starts way back before, with all our coaches. It's all about tradition. Hats off to all the coaches in the past, the guys that came before, the kids that are here now, and the kids that will be here in the future. |
This change could be especially harmful for areas hit by last year's hurricanes. Many subsidized units that were occupied when the storms hit are now uninhabitable and will likely be demolished. But because the units are not currently occupied and may not be under lease by the time they are demolished, the community would not receive replacement vouchers for these unoccupied units. Communities could end up losing a significant share of their subsidized housing. |
This Core Lab building will be the catalyst for attracting new biotech jobs to the area and will serve as the home to a great collaboration of scientific study that will combine the intellectual power of North Carolina's incredible universities and scientists from private enterprise, working together to perhaps discover breakthroughs in health, nutrition and wellness that have the potential to change the world. We are here to push back the frontiers of science. |
This is to 'Star Search' what modern quantum physics is to Newtonian notions of physics. It's so brilliantly put together. For one thing, it's two different shows. There's the show before they pick the final 12, which is essentially a delicious reality show with lots of mocking of people, laughing at the people who are really bad and all that kind of stuff. And then it transforms after the final 12 into a really good, old-fashioned, family-friendly talent show. |
This system allows Boise State faculty to reward our most diligent students with a grade with a plus attached, and the increased quality points associated with it. Students whose work is on the borderline between say, an A and a B, would qualify for the B+ and may in some cases have an opportunity to earn an A-. These are better rewards for good work than the B. This system can also help solve the grade-inflation issue that faculty have been asked to recognize. |
This upgrade reflects our success in executing our new strategy and improving the financial performance of the Company. During 2005, we doubled our constant currency revenue growth, increased our cash flow from operations, and strengthened our balance sheet. Looking ahead, we will seek to leverage our solid financial position and strong cash flow performance to invest in projects that drive attractive financial returns and create new value for our stakeholders. |
To be in the history books of anything is fantastic, ... I just love cycling, I've done it since I was seven years-old and although I've had a few hard patches this really makes up for it. Perhaps this was the hardest one for me, but I am really, really happy to be the first person to be able to do it. There was a lot of pressure coming into the World Championships for me and that makes it all the better to win it and now I'll look to next year and number four. |
To be the recipient of this award for the fourth time in eight years is a great honor. Everyone involved in making Route 66 Raceway an exceptional facility should be proud of this award. Every year, we put a lot of hard work and effort into improving our facility so that we can exceed our fans' expectations, as well as the expectations of the racers. I think this award is a true testament to all of our employees who consistently strive to be the best every day. |
Until today, the thought was that a move to an industry-standard platform meant a move toward hot, inefficient servers, with weak management and a hodgepodge of system components. We're here to call an end to that era. The move away from proprietary systems now holds the promise of increasing performance, decreasing power bills and consolidating data center creep - and Sun's legendary innovation puts us at the forefront of driving and claiming that opportunity. |
