Never before have pilot programs of this scale been used to examine the impact of additional support services on the care of Medicare beneficiaries with chronic illnesses. We're excited to begin this important initiative. I'm confident that the results of our Tennessee program will help to show that providing additional resources to these beneficiaries and their physicians makes sound economic sense. |
Nobody is going to talk about bringing [the casinos] inland or anything, ... But the question is, should the bottoms, should the floors actually sit on land or pilings instead of out in the water. And because every one, or virtually every one of the casino barges, the casino floors were blown inland and did a lot of damage, the legislature, I think, will do that. That's going to be my recommendation. |
Nobody likes or knows Phillips as much as I do. It's going to be really tough to break [camp with the big-league club], barring an injury. Phillips at least has an out in his contract at the end of spring. He could go somewhere else. He can elect to leave and pursue other teams at the end of Spring Training. He likes it here. He'd love to play here, he said, and he had some other options this winter. |
Not that the game came easy but not counting the year I had the cancer thing, I had five complete seasons where I was consistent with RBI and home runs and extra bases. It (2005) was a surprise and a shock, but you learn from it. I kind of went back to Step 1 because I wanted to come into camp here like I was trying to make the team, like I was in the minor leagues. That's the right attitude to take. |
Now, the supposed justifications for restart have completely evaporated and the funds that are being wasted will go where they have long belonged: into cleaning up the environment that adjoins our lifeblood, the Columbia River, ... After years of indecision, the people of the Pacific Northwest deserve to have the money used to clean up the contamination at Hanford rather than on some wild good chase. |
On the day when the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women will say to those who believe: Wait for us, that we may have light from your light; it shall be said: Turn back and seek a light. Then separation would be brought about between them, with a wall having a door in it; (as for) the inside of it, there shall be mercy in it, and (as for) the outside of it, before it there shall be punishment. |
Once you get to the college and professional levels and meet guys from all over the world, it's hard to think you'll find a true friend, a true teammate. That's what I compare it to. It's almost like we have an unbelievable trust in each other. I never thought I'd have that opportunity to experience that again. You never think you'll see that bond you had in high school. Here, it's something we have. |

Our county is the one next to Louisiana and our county is ground zero where Katrina actually made landfall. Our house was about 7 miles northeast of ground zero, which is not the place to be. The northeast quadrant of a hurricane is always the worst where you have the biggest cluster of tornadoes and after taking pictures (of their house) we were pretty sure that's what went through our neighborhood. |
Our joint customers who want to improve the productivity of their knowledge workers have identified the interoperability of solutions from both our companies as the key to achieving that improvement. Our commitment to providing ubiquitous, seamless, standard protocol interoperability in our communications solutions helps customers experience greater value in their real-time collaboration investments. |
Our mission is to make visiting Civil War sites a user-friendly experience for people of all backgrounds. We like to tell them in very plain English what happened where they're standing. Those who understand the minutiae appreciate it. Those who don't, aren't turned off by it. They don't have to understand what a battery is as opposed to a regiment to know the emotion of what happened where they are. |

Our volumes are way down. This cooler is completely empty and should be as full. Not only are we seeing a drop in volumes, the wind, especially, will create long-term effects that will affect yields over the next month. Right now, between November and May, it's our critical time of year when we make most of our money. Any drop in volume during these winter months has an adverse affect on our product. |
Over the past 12 months, the major components of our loan portfolio have showed significant growth. We have increased residential construction loans 7% and commercial real estate loans 14% from a year ago. These components now make up 73% of the loan portfolio. In addition, we continue to let our installment loans drop off as they now represent just 8% of the loan portfolio compared to 9% a year ago. |
