Peter Utley, the newspaper's obituary editor cheerfully checked with Primrose Palmer, his assistant, on the day's soul traffic. The late archbishop from New Zealand sounded promising, it was agreed, but then again it was lunch time, and who knew what had been happening in some now-ending life. |
Pop culture knowledge is kind of like the new social currency for America. If you ask most people who the mayor of San Francisco is, they won't know. But if you ask them what the 'San Francisco treat' is, 99 percent of them will know it. We are a culture that loves things that are unimportant. |
Pre-K is gradually being integrated into the K-12 education system nationwide. In a state that has so many great universities like Purdue, Indiana and Notre Dame, it's a shame (Indiana) won't do more to ensure its own children are better prepared to enter those schools with high quality pre-K. |
Predatory lending is a cancer that should be wiped out. We've reached a new stage in the debate over predatory lending laws. It's clear that state laws improve substantially on federal law and protect people who would otherwise be in danger of losing thousands of dollars - or even their homes. |
Private money is there by the boatloads, but it is very selective. It is looking for business models that have enduring capabilities. The rate of change in Internet software is so dramatic that it's hard to really see how all these companies are going to find funding at any sensible valuation. |
program. ''It puts us in the attitude of respect for our audience. I think it's important on every level to have a kind of attitude of unification in some way. . . . I don't really have that naturally. I'm not a great performer, so we have to do everything we can, do the exercises, to prepare. |
Purdue is in the process of rebuilding their program after they dropped it for a year. This really wasn't a tough match, but I was happy with how the shooters responded and posted near some of their personal bests. This match gave us an opportunity to take a look at some of our other shooters. |
Ray Evernham has given me a great opportunity and I have good people around me, so it makes things a lot easier, ... I'm very excited. It is a big step and I don't have that much stock car experience and I can't wait to get that first one over and done with. It's the opportunity of a lifetime. |
Real-time communication solutions like instant messaging are powerful collaboration tools that create a new attack vector for threats to enter an enterprise network and new forms of digital communication with the same government, legal and business requirements to retain and retrieve as email. |
Realistically, if we keep playing and improving the way we have, I think we have a great chance of going deep into the playoffs because of two factors. No. 1, the strength of our district. … Plus, our experience in the playoffs and our tradition of being in the playoffs is the second factor. |
Record or near-record trade deficits spark howls of concern about the threat posed to the economic expansion, but like inflation, the trade deficit's bark has been far worse than its bite. April's deficit, another near record, simply shows that we are still importing like there is no tomorrow. |
Regardless of what excuse we want to make, we have to do a better job of getting the ball to Tony Gonzalez 's hands. He set an all-time record in the history of the National Football League with 102 catches last year and I'm certainly not going to panic because he's not at that pace right now. |
Right now we're finalizing contracts on the dates we have, finishing construction and getting our ticketing operation up and running by October. We'll be on the phone with additional artists to supplement what we have, but we're thrilled at what is already on the schedule for our first season. |
