An intensive investigation conducted together with local prosecutors and regulators concluded that AT&T repeatedly failed to comply with laws that require the company to inspect its underground tanks and make repairs to faulty systems. Every day they postponed inspections and repairs, they risked catastrophic leaks and spills of MTBE and other toxic chemicals into our environment and surrounding communities. This settlement will force AT&T to overhaul its business practices throughout the state so that its underground storage tanks, and the public, are safe. |
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, / Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; / And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: / On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. |
By sharpening our focus on hotel openings, we will add a tremendous amount of value to the organization. This will allow us to speed up the opening process, so that our franchisees can begin to generate revenue even sooner, while simultaneously improving the consistency of the product and providing more franchise assistance along the way. Aaron was a natural choice to lead this group, and take an expanded role in the company. His track record for operational improvement and experience with business process reengineering make him a great fit for the new role. |
Chief Justice Rehnquist consistently countered efforts to make the law rather than interpret the law, particularly as a dissenter in Roe v. Wade. He demonstrated integrity by adhering to constitutional terms rather than searching for 'penumbras' and concepts outside the parameters of the Bill of Rights. We look to President Bush to nominate a replacement who meets Chief Justice Rehnquist's level of integrity and who demonstrates judicial restraint in controversial areas, including matters related to religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and family values. |
Deciding to pursue watercolor painting after I retired has made a considerable difference in my life. I find it challenging (which is good for me) and fun (which is also good for me). Having lessons with Odie McReynolds and getting involved with the Ground Floor Studio painting group was a good move. We support each other and critique each other's work - we constantly learn from each other. The individuals in the group are very different with very different painting styles but we have found that we are compatible. The love of creating is a great common bond. |
Having a combined Strategic Planning and Business Development function will give us greater ability to leverage our focused business strategies and capitalize on market opportunities. Tom's broader responsibilities will further enhance his team's effectiveness in identifying future strategic opportunities. Our record results for 2005 underline the significant progress we have made in realigning the division, streamlining processes and strengthening the business. These two appointments mark a very positive step in the development of Deutsche Asset Management. |
I am really proud to be associated with Callaway Golf. I truly believe Callaway Golf is the best golf equipment company to help me become a better golfer and reach my goal of becoming No. 1 in the world. To be on the same team with Annika Sorenstam, the best player in the world, is a great thrill, and I know she would never settle for anything that wasn't the best. Callaway is synonymous with breakthrough technology in golf clubs and golf balls, and they have the best reputation for service on the tours. I look forward to a great partnership for a long time. |
I met with Ted during that same period and supposedly he was very unhappy, but he was very focused, had lots of ideas, lots of things he wanted to get done. I think in this world there's some confusion about roles. There shouldn't be. Ted Turner is Ted Turner. Ted Turner is going to do what he was doing on a broader canvas, in terms of having division of this company and division of the assets he knows something about as well as contributing to the other assets...I think he's very valuable to us and every interaction I've had with Ted has been very positive. |
I think it's a natural progression. The door have been nudged on and pushed on for years, and it's sort of giving way now. If you research music, the foundation of most contemporary music originates from the South. It's just the natural progression of time and music that it comes back to the place where it originated from. I think it's beautiful, and snap is a new movement that allows people to stay current and allows people to dance again. Everybody wants to be hard, everybody wants to be gangsters. Yeah, that's cool but we also gotta learn how to have fun. |
I think it's a really wonderful way of looking at leadership development. What we're saying is, if you understand the broad issues that make up the life of the city, if you understand its history, if you understand its architecture and its neighborhood and its place, if you understand some of the ethical dilemmas that leaders must face as they make different choices about a city, and if you can articulate that in some kind of a creative process, then you are prepared to take an active role in decisions and choices that affect your life as well as the city's. |
I thought it sounded great, but at the same time I said, 'I think I am going to puke,' because you can't mess it up. Either you go out and you nail it or you quit the business, pack up and move to some strange country where no one knows who you are. It was really that much pressure, but what was really interesting was that once I met Sir Paul McCartney, all of that went away and ... he brought everything down to a level that made it more real rather than surreal. And that was very helpful because in my mind he is one of the greatest legends of rock and roll. |
I thought the driver must have been unconscious and that we certainly were going to die. You have to remember on these bobsleds, there's no suspension and it's a steel frame mounted to a steel axle. When you start approaching speeds of 90 mph you can feel every vibration. It's like some someone pushes a piano on you and pushes you to the bottom of the sled. You go up to the top and you see your buddies doing it over and over again, so you want to continue to do it. As you do it, it gets less scary and more exciting and then you start searching for the speed. |
