If you start a child off at age 5, by the time he gets to 10 or 12 he's better prepared to play tackle football. He's not afraid to play. He's not intimidated by contact, so it really makes a lot of sense to start a child off from a young age, teaching him the fundamentals of football. That's what we want to do. We want to teach our kids the rules of football. |
If, and only if, our further testing and analysis supports flying without a PAL ramp is aerodynamically alright to do, as our preliminary analysis indicates it would be, then the May launch window is still possible to make. If our new testing and analysis indicates we need the PAL ramp, we'll stop our shuttle processing, reassess and work the issue from there. |
In 2005, the industry witnessed great momentum around open source databases, from product enhancement, improved customer support and increased adoption to new vendors jumping on the bandwagon. Open source databases continue to make inroads into enterprises, offering low-cost database management system alternatives to support all types of business applications. |
In order to be successful in our efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect from occurring, we count on our community partners. From elected officials, businesses, family members and agency staff to teachers, bus drivers, store clerks and all others who come into contact with families and children. To point: Almost all of us qualify as partners in this effort. |
In the 1950s, about a quarter of corporate executives died before they hit 65, so they died in office. There was a notion that you better get out by 65 if you want a retirement. Now, people are living longer and they're also living healthier. People don't have to retire so they say the heck with it. You see these founding CEO-type folks hanging around forever. |
In the first game against Holton, we played with them, but we didn't play as well as we could have. In the second game, we were down by 10, and I gave them the goal to score 20 points before Holton scored 25 and we got to 23-21. It kept us fired up, because it showed us what we could do when we played the No. 1 team in the state in the classification above us. |
In the past, it was always ... maybe in three or four years you'll be a guy that is competitive. People expect you to be competitive your first year out now. Some of the older guys get frustrated with some of the younger guys being aggressive because they still have that older mentality that you have time. Well, time isn't a luxury that you have in this sport. |
In the past, you had a guy who got nicked up, you had to make a decision. You put him on the IRE and he sat out days and games, or a coach said, 'Well, we're going to sit him out, but we're not going to replace him.' Right now, you have the luxury of, if a guy gets the flu, you can sit him out that night and if he's better the next night, you can let him play. |
In the second half last year, we played better, and we should build off that. We have a lot of second-year players. I know for myself that, in your first year, you go out wondering if you really belong, and your second year, you come back knowing you can play at this level. You aren't wondering if you belong. You are looking for ways to step forward as a team. |
In today's knowledge-based global economy, we're competing head-to-head with China, India and dozens of other countries that are making tremendous strategic investments in education and research. The cold hard fact is that if we don't get more of our own people better educated, we're in a losing fight, a fight that if we shape up, we can still win and win big. |

Increased transaction volumes continued to drive non-interest income growth. Price increases contributed moderately as they were kept well below the inflation rate. The growth in transaction volumes emanated from the increased activities of existing customers and growth in the retail customer base from 6.9 million in March 2005 to 7,6 million in December 2005. |
Individually we're all struggling confidence-wise. It's hard for your team to be confident when you don't have a lot of individuals who are confident. We're fighting it in a lot of areas of our game. It's up to each guy to find his game, starting with the goaltenders out. And that'll be as contagious in a good way and this is contagious right now in a bad way. |
Internships are very important part of our education program, first and foremost. In setting up professional internships, not only will we be able to offer students a chance to work with industry professionals, but the students also will be able to take the theory they learn in the classroom and put it into practice here, in whichever activity they're focused. |
Investors who had been less aware of mutual fund taxes had a rude awakening in 2000, when many funds had low or negative returns but still paid out large taxable distributions. Many shareholders who, in the past, might have been dismissive about fund taxes were horrified to learn they will be paying taxes on fund investments on which they lost money last year. |
