The Georgia Ford Dealers are excited to play a leadership role in this emerging property, and to support the event's core objectives by promoting cycling, good health and the Georgia Cancer Coalition. When we say Ford is built for the road ahead, we can clearly exemplify that brand message with a world-class cycling event like the Ford Tour de Georgia through the Ford dealers and in the communities where we live and work. Ford dealers across the entire route, and across the state, are eager to activate both community and customer programs for the spring. |
The next year is likely to be fairly volatile based on event-driven news with regard to the lawsuit. Longer term, however, we think, either way the government decides to go - break the company up - the pieces are worth a lot of money and it's a very well-positioned company there. I think investors will make money on that side. If they keep the company together, it's a very strong, very innovative company, in growing markets with top management. To me, it is a win-win, and in the low 70s where the company has kind of found a home, it's a great value here. |
The Panel's income tax reform plan would make some positive changes such as eliminating the double-taxation of dividends and treating U.S. businesses on a territorial basis with regard to their foreign profits. Both of these changes would increase U.S. business competitiveness and spur investment. However, on both the individual and business parts of this simplified income tax, the proposed top tax rates were still too high. For example, the proposed 32 percent corporate rate would still be higher than the 28 percent average corporate tax rate in Europe. |
The reason that some are uncomfortable with 'Taking America Back' is understandable -- in the same way that thieves are uncomfortable when police approach them. The guilty among us do not like truth pointed out when that truth uncovers our weaknesses, sins and fears. ... Joseph Farah does not only describe today's America. He also prescribes. And his prescription, how to take America back so that right and wrong are once again honored, is a prescription that WE KNOW works because for 200 years, that prescription made America the greatest nation on earth. |
There are two stories to the origin. The first one involves a bunch of guys who got together for a horse race in England during the 1800s. The weather was bad and they did not want to risk hurting their expensive horses, so they ran the race themselves. The second was a (horse) race where there was so much fog no one could see. They ran from church steeple to church steeple in each town. Supposedly that's how it got its name. Either way, the event came from people running from town-to-town and jumping over fences, creeks and whatever else was in the way. |

This album is actually like a culmination of everything we've done. There's one song that I'm thinking will surprise everybody, because of the song itself. I'm not going to say why, because you have to keep that element of surprise, dude. Musically, it's going to blow everybody away. It's going to trip everyone out. It has all the elements of everything we've done. No one's going to be disappointed with this record. It's fast, heavy — maybe faster than anything we've done before. It's going to be brutal. It's what everyone expects from a Slayer record. |
This scheme is unique among car dealers and offers people a rare chance to hire an executive model. Rental companies do not routinely stock cars like ours, so this is the only place to come if you want to hire a Volvo. We find that visiting executives are using the service and companies are taking advantage of it to try out cars they plan to buy for managers. It's a big commitment to spend £30-£40,000 on a car. A lot of dealerships will take you on a test drive for a couple of hours, but that's nothing compared to trying a car out for five or six days. |
Typically, self-service technologies provide very limited visibility into what customers are truly seeking; and more ineptly, search-based tools do not provide insight into the level of satisfaction achieved by the tool. The ASA differs by capturing each and every customer query, providing a real-time snapshot of customer concerns and offering advanced tools for the analysis and management of interactions. The result is not only improved performance to tens of thousands of self service support sessions each day, but a happier and more satisfied customer. |
Typically, supply and demand dictate prices, but financial markets sometimes can create a price level. In addition, today we compete with consumption on a world-wide basis. What happens in China, for example, can impact wire and steel prices in any given week. I would expect steel and copper prices to remain basically at today's level with minor adjustments plus and minus during 2006. Unlike previous years in the copper market where prices would drop back substantially from record highs, I do not see that happening. It's somewhat analogous to gas prices. |

We could not be more thrilled. We look forward to supporting our partners, Christie/AIX, in this venture and in delivering Fox movies to their systems. We believe the efficiency, image quality and, most importantly, the overall movie going experience will be greatly enhanced through these DCI-compliant digital projection systems. Christie has been developing their DLP Cinema projectors for many years and they have proven to be of the highest quality. Additionally, these systems should provide our partners in exhibition with alternative uses and benefits. |

While I hope you will act responsibly and with reason on this issue, I feel obliged to tell you that your failure to do so would cause me to reevaluate my association with an organization that fails to recognize the role of women in our society. While I have, up to this point, respected your request that this issue not be a subject of discussion either with the public or with other members, I feel that continuing the status quo would cause me to make my views known to a broader audience -- if only to remove any doubt that I approve of the present policy. |
