Inflows to international equity funds in 2005 exceeded those to U.S. equity funds. Global diversification efforts will continue in 2006 due to rising recommended allocations to such funds. Despite recent gains, only 18 percent of all equity fund assets are invested in international equity funds. |
Instead of fixing the test, they're dummying down the test at the eighth- and 10th-grade levels so it doesn't look like so few kids are meeting the standard, ... They need to be fixing the test and fixing the curriculum. Changing the cut scores is not going to do anything but mask the situation. |
Instead, the president's subsequent budgets have increased funding for all of these programs. The country can meet the goal of cutting the deficit in half and still invest in key programs for vulnerable Americans, and claims to the contrary aren't supported by the facts of recent budget history. |
ISM prices paid came a bit higher than expected and that stoked some inflationary concerns. I am bearish on the market right now for two reasons -- the Fed has indicated it's going to keep raising rates and there's been recent evidence that gas prices are beginning to weigh on consumer spending. |
It appears that most of the temporary housing ordered by FEMA has already been produced, but we expect to see an increase in demand for our products as demand increases for manufactured homes in late 2006 and early 2007 due to the anticipated permanent rebuilding of the hurricane-stricken areas. |
It can be a watershed district, it can be a school district, it could be another state agency. Just about anybody, if we have good samples, can submit data and we would use the data for this program. So when we talk about who's contributing, it's a really wide range of folks that are doing that. |

It has shown us all how our faith -- whatever our religion -- can inspire us to work together in friendship and peace for the sake of our own and future generations. This last year has reminded us that this world is not always an easy or a safe place to live in, but it is the only place we have. |
It is a little frustrating not to be out there, especially going through what I went through last year. I'm not going to be able to complete camp like I want to this year. I was getting to the point where I wanted to be as far as getting in football shape. You just have to roll with the punches. |
It is about understanding the problem and not about taking strict action against offenders. We cannot go around issuing fines to people or solving matters through punishment. Sometimes it is the duty of people to understand the problems of others and continue with their celebrations accordingly. |
It is appropriate to insist on an overall strategy for space architecture and to face tough decisions, ... Boeing management readily admits that mistakes were made on this program. But those mistakes are now corrected and I remain hopeful that a well-managed program will ultimately move forward. |
