Corruption is often at the very root of why governments don't work. It weakens the systems and distorts the markets. In the end, governments and citizens will pay a price, in lower incomes, lower investment and more volatile economic swings. But when governments do work - when they tackle corruption and improve their rule of law - they can raise their national incomes by as much as four times. |
Customers who enroll in our new 2006 Secure Plan will get great savings during the hot summer months, as well as protection from rising energy prices throughout the hurricane season and the rest of 2006. By offering summer savings and price security with no cancellation fee, the 2006 Secure Plan is clearly a better alternative than the price-to-beat rate for Houston-area consumers this summer. |

Defensively we were playing scared and weren't coming out and being aggressive. Offensively we had to put a drive together and with Caleb hurt, we had to do some things to be able to move the ball. I wish I could say I had a stroke of genius, but I really didn't. When you look at it, we just kind of went back to basics and ran our leads and ran our option and that put us in good scoring range. |
Despite the lower value ratings Cisco received in our survey this year, the truth is that organizations are reluctant to change vendors, and if they do, there has to be a very compelling case for doing so. Unlike in the router market, there doesn't appear to be a shake-up going on in the switch market. Vendors that make an organization's short list are likely already installed in that network. |
Do you want to know how they get the addresses? ... They drive through the city and get any address and put it on the paper and take it to the DMV. It's that easy. We don't do it for them. And if they can go to the DMV and do it, where is it illegal, then anyone can do it. If they are trying to link F&H with this, they are wrong. It is a common practice. It doesn't have anything to do with us. |
Don't fall for the pitch '15 months is as good as cash'?even if you have lawn furniture in your living room. Retailers know that most customers won't pay in full within 15 months, and they'll be charged interest from day one. So, if you sign up for such a plan, be sure to put one-fifteenth of the full payment in a special account each month and pay in full at the end of the interest-free term. |
Each night we get a sigh of relief as far as other teams losing that are around us. Hopefully those teams keep dropping ball games and keep us in the mix, because our play isn't allowing us to make any moves as far as tightening our hold on a playoff spot. You have to consistently put together some ball games. Well, not even ball games. We have to put together the next ball game and get a win. |
Earlier this year, we began the process of consolidation of operations. Classrooms and offices formerly located at the Gogebic-Ontonagon Community Action Agency and the Roosevelt Plaza in Ironwood and Father Daniel Hall in Wakefield have been moved. Consolidation allows for continuity of all program efforts along with collaboration with the Even Start program, with which we share the building. |
Even though I am a well-recognized liberal on many issues confronting our society today, I find it ironic that many human rights advocates and outspoken members of my own entertainment community are often on the front lines to protest repression, for which I applaud them but they are usually the first ones to oppose any use of force to take care of these horrors that they catalogue repeatedly. |
For the last three years we have been doing intensive verification in Iran, and even after three years I am not yet in a position to make a judgment on the peaceful nature of the (nuclear) program. We still need to assure ourselves through access to documents, individuals (and) locations that we have seen all that we ought to see and that there is nothing fishy, if you like, about the program. |
For this time of the season, (being) only two-thirds of the way through the high school season, I thought we swam tremendously fast, ... Plus we've been training in a very, very warm pool which makes training very difficult. Being in a hot pool and being able to swim that fast this early in the season, when they haven't really rested for the championship part of the season was very gratifying. |
For two years in a row we have upwards of 7 percent growth in our national income. This year we expect to repeat that performance. I am convinced that we will sustain this rate of growth perhaps even improve upon in the next years. This has the potential of transforming our economy in many ways. It is now possible as never before to visualize India without poverty, without disease and scourge, |
Funding of the Sun Grant is truly great news for Cornell, the Northeast and the nation. The Sun Grant is well positioned to help us diversify our energy supply portfolio, more important now then ever before, and generate a multitude of new natural products and industrial chemicals. We see many economic and environmental benefits for New York state farms and communities thanks to the Sun Grant. |
