Through ballet I was fortunate to find a place to escape, a refuge from my feelings of being an outsider. The dance studio was the one place I felt accepted and 'just like everybody else' was in the dance studio. Hoping to improve the rhythm of my speech, my mother had enrolled me in a ballet class when I was five years old. The ballet class boosted my self-esteem. |
Through our combined efforts, we can give back to teachers, parents and students who consistently show loyal support for Sharpie. The Autographs for Education program is an incredible opportunity for us to reach out to millions of students and schools across the nation. Each signature we collect represents one more child whose educational experience we may improve. |
To be able to compete and win means a lot for our guys. It means a lot, obviously, for our program. We're at the beginning stages of needing these wins like this to be able to, for me personally, to legitimize what I yell and scream about in practice every day. ... Games like this help to get a better understanding of what our team is about and what it needs to do. |
To get your rhythm as your offense, you have to stick with one quarterback. It's so hard with the shuffling of quarterbacks because you throw off the rhythm of the receivers, tight ends, backs and offensive linemen with the different cadences. With Gus pretty much being labeled as No. 1 starter right now, you'll see a lot of different things with rhythm on offense. |
Today's agreement between Putnam and the SEC provides some preliminary measures to address certain of the issues raised in the actions filed against Putnam. However, these measures represent only a starting point for needed industry reforms in fund governance and oversight and do not address crucial issues involving restitution to fund holders, fines and penalties, |

Traditional neighborhoods have certain characteristics that we haven't seen in conventional development in the last couple of decades. One of them is that the streets are all connected to one another, so you can walk around and come upon another place you've never seen before. Guess what? Waveland already has that very ideal situation - most of the streets connect. |
Under Article 2 of the Constitution, as commander in chief, the president has that authority. The president has the authority under the congressional authorization that was passed and clearly stated that, quote, 'The president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force.' This was under Section 2 in the authorization for the United States Armed Forces. |
WASA is proud to be a sponsor and supporter of the Youth Court. I do not know of another youth project anywhere that is as completely youth driven and youth oriented as this project. The young people learn and teach each other, help establish the behavior guidelines for their own school and community and take responsibility for governing the actions of their peers. |
We apologize to those who were harmed and to the Texas City community. We cannot change the past or repair all the damage this incident has done. We can assure that those who were injured and the families of those who died receive financial support and compensation. Our goal is to provide fair compensation without the need for lawsuits or lengthy court proceedings. |
We are a generation of women that has listened to the much louder voices of parents, teachers, employers, husbands and children while our own voices were small or muffled or totally ignored. Aging Out Loud gives us permission to not only listen to that voice but heed its warnings, laugh at its jokes and follow its directions, without guilt and without looking back. |
We are always looking for a good cause to help out with and this is nice because it's a big project so it will give some of our apprentices a chance to get some real hands-on experience. I can remember coming here as a kid and using the batting cages in the basement. It is nice to be able to come back and fix it up. It is such a good organization for the community. |
We are certainly looking forward to it. We are going to work hard these next couple days. It's going to be about who wants it more in that environment with two teams going down there with not a lot of fans in the building and playing in neutral court. For us right now, it's one game at a time. We know we have Washington State and that's going to be a battle for us. |
We are deeply disappointed in the arbitrator's ruling on New York City Transit's expansion of one-person train operation to the L line on nights and weekends. Although the union argued that the program was unsafe, the arbitrator based the decision on an overly technical reading of a 1994 contract, not safety. We will be reviewing our options over the next few days. |
