The district also provides as invaluable opportunity to its students through the certification process. Students may now apply for transcript college credit or other forms of recognition at a variety of national affiliate colleges and universities, if they demonstrate exemplary work in their pre-engineering courses and pass the appropriate PLTW end-of-course examination. |
The dynamic of the market in Puerto Rico right now led us to believe that another entrant, such as Red Stripe, would do very well in that market. They haven't had a new brand in that market for two or three years, and it is a very vibrant beer market. Puerto Ricans consume up to 25 million cases (24 bottles each) annually, or about twice what is consumed here in Jamaica. |
The Elephant Sanctuary exists for two reasons. To provide a haven for old, sick or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, old-growth forests, spring-fed ponds and a heated barn for cold winter nights. And to provide education about the crisis facing these social, sensitive, passionately intense, playful, complex, exceedingly intelligent and endangered creatures. |
The events of the past week have only underscored that we need Supreme Court justices who value the role of the courts in protecting individuals' rights and freedoms, who understand the nature of discrimination and its continuing impact on our country, and who will uphold the role of the federal government in preserving those rights and acting to protect the common good. |
The hurricane created a crisis, but the roots of the problem are much deeper than that. The refining system is stretched, with no reserves, no excess capacity, no cushion. The fundamental problem is that we depend on oil companies that dislike the refining business because of historically low returns but whose deficit can produce an economic, social and political crisis. |

The intensity was good and we knew our assignments today. Sometimes, we're still a little inconsistent. We've still got some plays that should have been made, a few dropped passes, a few missed assignments up front and protection wasn't always that good. But, overall, we did well. John Parker said he felt comfortable back there in the pocket. That's always a plus for us. |
The last couple months have been game-planning for this experience. It's a strenuous experience, because it's really on you to perform. The way it was before, I was playing for my family at Penn State. And I will always be representing Penn State, but now, I also have a responsibility to my family, and my future family, so that keeps me thinking about the responsibility. |
The last month of the season I think there were a lot of similarities that started to manifest in our club that did in 2002. I think our situational hitting all of a sudden got back to where it needed to be, we're running bases well. We're going to get a chance to get into our game hopefully, and if it can emerge like it did in 2002, we have a chance to get on that roll. |
The more it spreads in birds internationally, the more opportunities it has to interact with animal and human hosts, increasing the chances it could evolve into a human pandemic virus. No one knows if this will happen, or when, so it is critical to prepare for a potential human flu pandemic at the same time that we are working to prevent the spread of avian flu in birds. |
The more you look at them on film, the better they get, ... I had them shut out about five months ago. Then about three months ago, they scored twice on us. About two weeks ago, they got 21 on us. It's coming harder and harder to stop them. I told [defensive line coach] Vantz [Singletary], 'We've got to get the third light [on the scoreboard] in case they hit a hundred.' |

The name recognition of the people involved has long been a factor in deciding what's news. I tell my class, 'If all of us go to a party on a Saturday night, and Tony Gwynn, the president of San Diego State and President Bush's daughters are there, and we all get stopped by the police, who's going to get the news coverage?' It's going to be the people who are well-known. |
The nutrition information will be presented in a way that will make it fun and meaningful for children, as well as their parents. We will do a few food experiments, such as having the kids guess the fat content in several milk samples and having them eat a graham cracker so slowly that they can actually observe and even write down words to describe its taste and texture. |
The other thing is to ask the person on the phone to identify themselves and who they are working for, ... At any time they should be able to provide something in writing. We recommend that people dont respond over the phone but have information mailed to them. That gives them time to check it out and, if it is a scam, (the false organization) wont have written material. |
