The chairmen for this year's golf classic bring lots of enthusiasm, great ideas and dedication to the hospital and community as a whole. Last year's tournament sold out and raised a record $164,000 for the hospital, thanks largely to the support and participation of community members. We're looking forward to another fantastic tournament this May. |
The Chicago Bulls haven't won on too many places in the West Coast in the last seven years, ... Whatever it is, we've got to fix it come Wednesday [in Portland], because every game out here is going to be tough, and we haven't had any success. We knew they were going to be upset that we stole one from them in Chicago, so we should have been ready. |

The climax was when the golden stool was brought in, which represents the Ashanti soul and is believed to have descended from heaven 200 years ago. This stool is so precious, it's a throne that no individual can sit on. This was paraded in for the first time in 25 years and was placed on its own throne and presented for one day only to the public. |
The Cordless Ring Scanner 9P from Socket is an effective solution for a variety of applications requiring a lightweight, wearable 'hands-free' method of data capture. There is no doubt that the CRS will prove advantageous in helping us secure new business for many environments, including back office, order/parts picking, warehousing and logistics. |
The counting process will be quite long, and [will] then [be followed by] the preliminary [confirmation] of members [of parliament] selected. But then many [candidates] will definitely appeal [against] the results, so we will have a long period of appeals, that's why the final results will not be known before, I imagine, before the end of October. |
The economics of our recent national situation, with oil and natural gas prices — that's the big part of it. We're very proud of what people have done (in Viroqua). We feel it's very unfortunate this decision had to be made. We wish we didn't have to do this, but we have to stay in a position where we can be a leader and compete in the industry. |
The end of blockbusters is not upon us, despite what some analysts are saying. In fact, we expect that blockbusters will continue to be an important part of pharmaceutical market growth over the next five years, due to new uses for existing therapies, the emergence of niche/specialty products, and the ongoing demand for chronic disease treatments. |
The English game is based on physical strength, discipline, seriousness and determination, but they probably lack creativity. Commitment has to be present even in training, which is why they are always ready for the fights on the pitch. However, they struggle to get out of their pre-established plan and can easily get lost when they are unsettled. |
The federal government is acting more and more like a private sector business. They are cutting costs, reviewing opportunities closely, and conducting cost-benefit analyses for their IT investments. This is a new era in government spending practices and these cost-saving measures will affect federal IT budgets and, therefore, vendor opportunities. |
The findings again call into question the whole approach of shifting more costs onto consumers with consumer-driven health care. If you look at a single mom with a kid at twice the poverty level and you look at the required deductible, it's already about 7.5 percent of income and that excludes the cost of the premium and other out-of-pocket costs. |
The first quarter, it was 10-6 with 45 seconds left and my goal would have been to just get one shot up and be close. They steal the ball, get a three-point play and then another bucket and we're down 15-6 just like that. It snowballed after that in the second quarter. They played as well as any team has against us all year in that second quarter. |
The French have generated a level of consistency over the last half a dozen games that has perhaps been missing from them in the past. We're aware that they've got a formidable array of talent available to them, but we think we've got a pretty good side as well and we'll be going into the game with some expectations and a high level of confidence. |
The last big noise that (neighbors of the power plant) heard from the plant was the explosion that happened at the gas line. So we just didn't want the residents to get nervous when they heard the new sounds. ...These are good noises. It's just showing that the equipment is working, and we're testing it and we're getting ready to resume operation. |
The last scene? I've got to tell you, everyone was bawling. People were just crying. It was like a graduation. It was very surreal. We all spoke about it earlier that day, but people were just breaking down. I mean, seven years, every day. You see people grow up, you grow up yourself, you see people going through ups and downs. It was hard for us. |
