And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, / Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, / Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, / Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites. |
Andy is not playing his best tennis. Fernando has improved very much. I think he played yesterday the best match of the year. I think he has confidence against Andy tomorrow. I think the tie is still open...Fernando can do some damage. In the fifth [match], anything can happen. Nicolas [Massu], he's special for that. I don't know about how [James] Blake is going to react playing the fifth match. |
Another thing that sets us apart from most lending institutions, is at MNB you can borrow up to 90 percent of the value of the home and not have to pay for Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which is a great savings on the monthly payment amount. We also encourage people concerned with their credit situation to come in and speak with us; our lending decisions are not based on credit scoring only. |
Anyone can get people out when they are throwing the ball right where they want to, ... But that doesn't happen all the time. It's getting guys out when you don't have your best stuff that is the test of a good pitcher. Kevin's level of competitiveness is such that it allows him to step it up. I always feel good when he's out there. He may get into some jams, but he knows how to get out of them. |
Anything that takes me longer than five minutes to answer, however, triggers a request for a face-to-face meeting. I often find that a brief meeting after class can resolve most issues that exceed e-mail treatment, particularly when I need to ask follow-up questions. Generally I reserve office appointments for conversations about a student's grade in the course or other confidential information. |
As a group, we can't accept losing, even though we are a young team and there are a lot of people picking against us. But the last thing you want to do is breed a losing mentality. You have to be accountable and do everything to put ourselves in a position to win. Most nights it might not happen. But as long as we are not out-worked and out-hustled, that's really all you can ask from this group. |
As a kid, the first thing you got was your military men. You set yourself up in the sandbox and go to war. Then you grow up watching John Wayne movies and then 'Top Gun' and 'A Soldier's Story.' You get into them because they [star] your favorite actors. It's the absolute thrill of how war's depicted. The thought of violence is intriguing to kids. War is fascinating to young men, and attractive. |
As the number of public hospitals continues to decline, the concern remains to what extent non-profit and for-profit hospitals are taking or will take on greater responsibilities as safety net providers, and to what degree their focus is on attracting the healthiest of Medicaid patients, leaving the sickest and costliest patients to the care of the remaining public or major safety net hospitals. |
As we go forward and make investments, we have to make sure we're making wise investments and the decision on what gets funded and what amount gets decided on merits and not just political muscle, ... That's what's been happening in the Corps' budget. You can have one of the most important projects in the country, but if it happens in a freshman's district, it's probably not going to get funded. |
At a time when the Nation was at its lowest point, this generation dropped their individual pursuits to form the most potent military and powerful civilian engine the world has ever known. American, fighting and working together, as well as with our allies around the world, overcame the tremendous dangers of that time. We freed the world from the shackle of totalitarianism and made freedom ring. |
Before, we were dealing with guys who knew the service end of a department and knew how to get things done for communities. If you were out there fixing a street, and somebody said, 'Can we extend it around this corner because there's a need here,' they'd figure out a way to do it. New people are reluctant to work with anybody unless it's scripted. There's not a lot of innovative stuff going on. |
Ben and Jed accepted the GM roles on an interim basis with the expectation that [it] was likely Theo would be returning to the club at some point. They enabled us to move forward on a business-as-unusual basis, acting in the best interests of the Boston Red Sox. We agreed with them before they accepted their new positions as to what their ensuing positions would be, so this is hardly a demotion. |
Bringing the light was probably one of the smartest 'tools' that I brought for a few reasons … I was encouraged to leave it on at all times. Just yesterday a National Guard lieutenant told me that it was a great idea, because they are told to treat any incoming vehicle as a potential threat. When they see you coming from afar with a blinking light they immediately put their guard down a notch. |

But it's the peak numbers that drive things, ... December through March is the peak. Peaking gets into the fanning situation. You get a volume of activity, people sitting on the apron. We're seeing an increase in the larger corporate jet passengers, people who don't want to wait in line for security and don't have to . . . some of the biggest complainers [about noise] are also our biggest users. |
