The PLC program is fantastic because it allows college students to receive actual Marine officer training that goes towards their earning a commission, but does not require that the student actually make any sort of post-graduation commitment. For people like me, with no exposure to military life and very little idea of what exactly they'd like to do in the way of careers, that flexibility is invaluable. |
The race package we have is quite good. We have chosen a tyre and we know exactly what we have with our settings. There are some races that you aren't sure of where you stand, but this isn't one of them. Looking at the lap-by-lap times of all the riders, I think it's going to be a close race. I'm a little disappointed to be on the second row. I thought we had enough to start out front, but that's racing. |
The realignment has resulted in 33 percent of WMT district managers being reassigned or facing early retirement as the company attempts to narrow its leadership gaps in the field. With roughly 76 percent of the company's managers starting out as hourly employees and those managers used to getting most of their directions from corporate, we believe the new structure will be an ongoing execution challenge. |
The recent attacks on the secretary-general, easier to attack than the institution as a whole, have little to do with the actual (and quite limited) instances of corrupt activities in the secretariat, and everything to do with Annan's statement that the U.S. war in Iraq was illegal and the organisation's refusal to endorse the U.S.-UK invasion, ... Calling the Shots: How Washington Dominates Today's U.N. |
The release of the 3G spectrum in China will create a large demand for advanced wireless infrastructure applications, providing the next-level of mobile telecommunications services and features to the world's largest cellular market. TI has responded to the wireless infrastructure designers' needs for enhanced integration, higher performance and increased density for 3G applications with its new AFE8406. |
The Santa Anita Derby and Kentucky Derby are two totally different-run races, with a speed-biased track and short field compared with going back there with a 20-horse field and who knows what the pace scenario will be? This is a big race, a $750,000 Grade I. To win that would be a big deal. The Kentucky Derby is like a one-hand poker game. It's all in with whatever you've got. Whatever comes up comes up. |
The thing that scares me always the most and the thing I caution our players on is that next week, you go home. You go home for the Big East tournament. And then next time you go home, we pack up the uniforms. And this team is good enough to get to Indianapolis. Will it get to Indianapolis? I have no idea. ... Maybe the first round of the tournament some team gets up, plays us tough and we don't execute. |
The title came from the guys who flew in World War II and Korea who risked their lives and suffered so much to teach us young guys that were going to replace them how to become good in combat. We had a training program called 'Every Man a Tiger' where they trained you to feel that you could dominate air battle. Anybody who went up against you, you were going to kick their ass. That's what it's all about. |
There is a clear need to have qualified people acting as agents because it is a guarantee that the person is fit and proper and has a good background with an extensive knowledge of all the matters involved. It is a sort of jungle at the moment where there are licensed agents operating alongside unlicensed agents, and in some cases licensed agents delegating to people who are not as qualified as they are. |
There is no neat distinction between operating system software and the software that runs on top of it, ... Thus? Web browsing software can be implemented primarily as an application or middleware that runs on top of an operating system, as Netscape elected to do, or as an integral part of the operating system itself, as Microsoft elected to do, or in a manner that is midway between those two approaches. |
There is no reason to start from scratch when there is a willing and able locality ready to support the production of a refinery, ... Cushing has the infrastructure, work force and motivation to develop a refinery. I am looking forward to working with Governor Brad Henry to get the process started once this legislation is signed into the law so that our state does not miss out on this unique opportunity. |

They have done great things within what you would call established American sports. Freddy has the potential to bring soccer almost for the first time into the public's consciousness. Soccer in the United States isn't really part of the culture. What it needs, I think, is a superhero, and he clearly could be it. Now, that's putting a lot of pressure on him, but the kid's got all the potential to do that. |
