The Board of Directors is extremely pleased with how this project has evolved over the last five years -- culminating in today's vote. Over the last two days, this committee has held discussions in great detail, utilizing the research and statistics now available to determine who deserves baseball's highest honor -- a plaque in the Hall of Fame Gallery in Cooperstown. |
The bottom line is, we can challenge the players much more effectively with much more firm and fast conditions. As a matter of fact, in the studies we've done over the last 10 years, the difference between a generally soft course and a firm and fast golf course is an average of five shots in the winning score and about the same in terms of the overall scoring average. |
The deaths of these five young men is a tragedy, but hopefully will focus attention on this problem. These prison sentences should serve to deter persons who use the Internet to unlawfully distribute prescription and over-the-counter drugs. And parents must realize that the same Internet that provides educational opportunities for their children can also bring danger. |
The decision on the make-up of the fast bowling quartet was not an easy one, given that we are without McGrath. We wanted a blend of pace, youth, experience and line and length and believe we have all of these covered with our selection. Tait is coming back from a shoulder injury and he's bowling at full pace so we're happy that the injury isn't hampering his bowling. |
The draw is incredible, it is hard to look very far ahead. I'll take my matches one after the other because I really want to make the most of my time here and see where it takes me. It's not that easy to be back on tour after a great victory. I'll just try to surf that positive wave. The impact of my Australian Open title? I have the feeling it was a pretty loud bang. |
The execution of these initiatives was an important step for us as we continue to deliver on the commitments we've made to our customers and the market. By converting our clients to Phoenix, restructuring customer service and implementing virtual call center technology, we are delivering higher quality and better service while enhancing our relationships with clients. |

The market now tends to be (thinking): With interest rate rises being behind us, if we've orchestrated a slowdown in the economy, how much of an impact will that slowdown have on corporate profits? Might corporate valuations be at the higher end of expectations? And so we're seeing some selling and softness, in the technology sector in particular, as a result of that, |

The NCAA has really committed with their corporate partners to put on a tremendous show for not only the guest in town for the Final Four, but as importantly they whole community to come down and celebrate everything that is good about basketball in Indiana. To have that lined up with John Mellencamp, which is a true Indiana legend, it's everything good about Indiana. |
The neatest thing for us is the coaches we get to deal with (that were in this) are all great people. We have relationships with them that go beyond basketball. To have three of the four Tri-Cities teams come in and play is a neat thing. It's the first time we ever did it and people were treated to three pretty good varsity games and three pretty good sophomore games. |
The Next Action Star and Starlet were bad ideas because you can't deliver that. Even on The Apprentice, you can't turn those people into captains of industry. You can, in fact, say: We're doing a show on the Food Network and whoever wins gets a show on the Food Network. How can we do that? We're the Food Network. These are networks that can do what they promise to do. |
The one saving grace would be if it ushers in a new era of reform. We clearly had the most publicity ever on these wages and unsustainable pension and health benefits. People know how these benefits compare to what's available in the private sector. Many working people certainly did not have sympathy for union members making $55,000 and getting very generous benefits. |
The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States. |
The program became very popular over the last two years. Many women who are 35 years and older are choosing to have first-trimester screening or a combination of first- and second-trimester screening instead of amniocentesis. There are a lot of women out there who want early non-invasive information regarding the status of their pregnancy and we are hearing from them. |
