As being a Washingtonian I just think that Howard is a great institution. I mean this Gym was built in what 1963, so of course there are some things that need to be improved upon. So I need to get the student-athletes that have graduated to give back, because that is what is going to get us going. I have to convince the alumni to get on board, because there are some things that the university can't do alone. |
As children, if we cut ourselves at the beach, our mothers told us to wash it in the ocean - seawater was always perceived to be clean and healthy. We are seeing ominous signs that this is changing - surfers in California are now advised to have regular hepatitis inoculations and you really don't want to expose an open wound to near shore water. We should begin to worry deeply about the health of the oceans. |
As privately held companies continue to escalate their activity in areas that were once considered the domain of large publicly owned companies, they have increased their exposure to potentially costly liability-related lawsuits, as well as to crime events such as workplace fraud and extortion. In an area such as directors and officers liability, the stakes can be especially high and financially devastating. |
At one point in this course or another, if you can't find a book that you will care about forever, then you're not fully alive -- so get fully alive. We need to be a more thoughtful culture, but we also need to be a more emotionally expressive culture. A lot of what motivates the two of us, I know it motivates me, is just this idea that the power of precise thinking goes along with the power of deep feeling. |
Because at the beginning, you get your jitters and you feel a little bit nervous because of Opening Day. You never know. You're not always going to face the No. 1 starter on the opposing team. It's not always the same. So it does feel like it's the same as last year pretty much -- like it's just going every five days and facing the hitters. You're facing the hitters, not the pitchers you're going up against. |
Before proceeding, the company must assure itself that there are unlikely to be major concerns on the part of our regulator or the independent expert who must report to the courts. To that end, we are engaged in regular, full and open discussions about all aspects of the demutualisation programme ... If we had something substantively different to communicate from existing expectations, we would have done so. |

By the end of the decade, Home Depot Supply expects to operate more than 1,500 locations, covering all 50 states, and will be the largest diversified wholesale distribution business in the United States. Our planned acquisition of Hughes Supply is a great example of how we are rapidly replicating in the professional market the same type of transformation that we brought to the home improvement retail market. |

Claire puts a lot of hours in the pool and she works extremely hard, and because of that, she's developed a very efficient stroke; a very long, strong stroke that propels her through the water. She's also very competitive and hates to lose. She sets goals before every meet, and if she doesn't meet all of them, she's not happy. That's tremendous dedication. I think she's going to be a state champion some day. |
Coach Trestman has brought a lot of that NFL stuff to NC State and I think it's a great thing, ... You've got a guy who's been coaching for 20-some years in the league, where I want to be and where 100 percent of these guys want to be one day. Anytime you've got a guy who has coached the greatest players who have played this game and now knowing that he's going to be my coach, you can't be happier with that. |

Consumers continue to migrate to online banking, with the nation's largest banks attracting more than 8.5 million new online banking customers in 2005. At the same time, it is clear that adoption rates are slowing. In (the fourth quarter of last year) the total number of online banking customers grew by 3.1 percent over the previous quarter, representing the lowest sequential quarterly growth in three years. |
Darren Clarke has an 8-wood in his bag because of the availability of being able to get to the green out of the rough when, normally, you couldn't. I think when you see rough as severe as it is here, instead of having to take a wedge and hit it out, you can take a wood and have a chance to get it on the green. To me, that is a player putting another club in his hand trying to take advantage of the situation. |
