The primary call to action is to provide the immediate physical needs of the homeless population in terms of food, shelter and counseling. They also run long-term recovery programs designed to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness.

We [women] are the majority of the population, majority of the electorate, majority of the workforce... and yet we're still doing majority of family unpaid or low paid labor. And we live longer. Our stuff is not "special interest" stuff. Our stuff is the stuff of the future, of the whole.

We need to create brand institutions. In the fortune 500 companies, 5 Indian companies are named while 15 are from China though we have similar kind of populations.

The plans are quite different. They're different in how much of the surplus they would use. They're different in where those surplus dollars would go. They're different in which groups of the population would get the principal benefits.

We're looking at increased volume. We could justify as many as 250 beds on the existing plot. With the land acquisition, we can provide 300 to 325 beds. This is a growing community. We're at capacity now. We need to expand for the volume we have now so we can take care of as many of south Miami-Dade's population as possible.

We're looking at increased volume, ... We could justify as many as 250 beds on the existing plot. With the land acquisition, we can provide 300 to 325 beds. This is a growing community. We're at capacity now. We need to expand for the volume we have now so we can take care of as many of south Miami-Dade's population as possible.

We're looking at Fort Riley growing by leaps and bounds and the community's population probably doubling.

We're completely opposed to ethnic quotas, in the sense it will push people to identify themselves to a particular community. One of the biggest strengths of France is the fact that issues of ethnicity and religiosity are extremely porous -- as you can see with the very mixed population that exists in France.

The most formidable of all the ills that threaten the future of the Union arises from the presence of a black population upon its territory; and in contemplating the cause of the present embarrassments, or the future dangers of the United States, the observer is invariably led to this as a primary fact.

I am deeply convinced that any permanent, regular administrative system whose aim is to provide for the needs of the poor will breed more miseries than it can cure, will deprave the population that it wants to help and comfort, will dry up the sources of savings, will stop the accumulation of capital, will retard the development of trade, and will benumb human industry.

Maharishi said that when 1 percent of the population meditates, the earth yields up its treasures,

Madison Township has a large geographical area, and the people there, are mostly farmers, mostly rural community. For that reason, we don't have high population numbers. Our school is the smallest; still, those kids deserve to have their own school.

Low-cost, high-grade coal, oil and natural gas - the backbone of the Industrial Revolution - will be a distant memory by 2050. Much higher-cost remnants will still be available, but they will not be able to drive our growth, our population and, most critically, our food supply as before.

Less than 5 percent of the population is using banking services. The growth opportunities for mortgages, car loans, consumer loans, are huge.

Seven out of the 10 bits of litter we find on our pavements and roads are food related. And with all this trash to choose from, the pigeon, rat, fox and gull population has spiraled.

Secondary airports take years to become successful. You're competing in a world economy with expectations that there will be an airport close to the major business and population center.

Soil erosion is second only to population growth as the biggest environmental problem the world faces. Yet, the problem, which is growing ever more critical, is being ignored because who gets excited about dirt?

Some of it is just because they are out there. They are a faceless, nameless population and they are available to be victimized.

Should PROMETA prove to be as effective within the Pierce County Alliance drug offender population as it appears to be, the State will consider its effectiveness for use in treatment so that stimulant dependent individuals in Washington will be able to benefit from this therapy. Methamphetamine addiction is a serious issue and has ravaged Pierce County and is escalating throughout the state. Washington is pleased to join the States of Louisiana, Idaho, and Indiana in conducting accelerated commercial pilots of PROMETA.

She always wanted us to be in communication with each other, ... She never forgot that the (Soviets) shipped a very large percentage of the Estonian population including her family members to the Gulag (forced work camps).

Mr Mugabe now has a choice: either he calls of the thugs, allows the media to operate freely, and lets the population of Zimbabwe make a democratic choice, or he and his key ministers will pay the price.

Much of the population still doesn't have access to the Internet on a regular basis, and these people are not going to be customers until they come online,

M dwarf stars dominate the stellar population in the solar neighborhood, and so are attractive targets for searching for habitable planets. The models show that gas-giant planets are indeed likely to form?at distances sufficiently large enough to permit the later formation of habitable, terrestrial planets.

My first words to him were, 'Mr. President, it is my estimation ... at least 90 percent of the population of New Orleans has been displaced. He was truly taken aback by that.

One of the unique features of China is that, notwithstanding the fact that it has a population of 1.3 billion, around 92% regard themselves as Han Chinese. This is quite different from the world's other most populous countries, such as India, the U.S. and Indonesia, which are ethnically diverse.

One simple fact proves that none has: there is no prosperous population in the world today that has, and has had for some time, a growth rate of zero.

No one is attacking Islam, as such. We accept that there is a large French-born Islamic population in France who have a right to be here. The FN is not a racist or Islamophobic party.

Only about 10 percent of India's population uses the web, making it unlikely that Internet freedom will be a decisive ballot-box issue anytime soon.

One thing we put on our maps was population in the next ten years. Half of us said there would be a 10-15 percent increase, to about 28,500. The rest of the group said it would be more in the 30,000 to 35,000 range.

Murdered children, child prodigies - those stories strike the population at a different level than stories of adults experiencing similar things. The same goes for young people at protests. There's a deeper impact when you see a kid confronting authority or risking arrest because of his beliefs.

More and more people were coming in (to the library). They were mostly the Puerto Rican population, but we then saw that the Mexican population exploded, so we decided to branch out to get them to come in.

More population means more calls spread out over the same number of officers, means longer response time. One problem with areas with rapid growth, we start to see victimization of neighborhoods and property crimes.

Maybe the future isn't so bright. There's a lot of comfort in wrapping ourselves in a simpler time, and also in clothes less demanding of the perfect body. And perhaps it's a bit of a bow to a boomer population that has a little bit of a hard time with spandex.

No population fluctuates as much as 90% naturally, especially in such a stable environment as the deep-sea. Any changes made to halt these population declines would not be evident for several generations?approximately 100 years.

Now we're in this dry cycle, and quite frankly, Texans have forgotten how to deal with it. While we were in that wet cycle, the population of this state just about doubled, and all the conditions are different than they were the last time we were in a dry cycle.

Numerically speaking, half the population cannot be a minority. Yet when it comes to women, the numbers plainly show that the mathematically impossible is the socially acceptable.

Now the Arctic Snow Goose Venture has reconstituted a working group, asked them to give a progress reports and analyze all the new data that has been collected because there are a lot of ongoing research. We'll look at all the new stuff that is out there, check the population models and make whatever improvement to the information and come back with more recommendations of where we go from here.

Now you can fool with the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act. It endangers the health and welfare of the entire population of this nation." ()

Natural disasters, disease outbreaks and potential bioterrorism attacks do not discriminate based on population or geographic location.

Rick talks through the use of a computer generator, but his first words to me, 'I can,' highlight his ability to be normal and to fit in with a population that is disabled but still a part of humanity. The film shows clearly that he can overcome his disability if he can do all of this.

People wonder sometimes whether we educate these guys because a guy slips up and makes a mistake. Well, we do extensive education. We cover steroids, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, domestic relations. We do extensive education with these guys, more than the student body gets and probably more than the general population ever gets. But for whatever reason, these guys are under more scrutiny, so we have to try to educate them.

People who are making us do additional work are liable for the cost. Rather than burdening the entire population with the work caused by a few, it makes a few accountable for the cost.

People who are elderly make up a large part of our population and have enough difficulty as it is.

Potentially, there are 1 to 2 million people in the population who could be diagnosed using this criteria, ... We think that many will be diagnosed, since it's a relatively easy test to perform on routine blood work done in a doctor's office.

Population growth and development place additional stress on the Nation's water infrastructure and its ability to sustain hard-won water quality gains.

Population densities of farmers and herders are typically 10 to 100 times greater than those of hunter/gatherers. That fact alone explains why farmers and herders everywhere in the world have been able to push hunter/gatherers out of land suitable for farming and herding.

Ongoing population growth, strong employment and economic expansion, together with healthy state finances, are behind the continuing growth in construction activity.

Nobody knows what the long-term population is, what the effects on the city will be. I hope by the end of the year we'll have a much better idea.

Only the amnesty leg 'worked.' That is, a lot of foreign lawbreakers got full amnesty, and it spurred a lot more mass illegal immigration. The 2 million residual illegal alien population of 1988 grew to 3.5 million in 1990, 4 million in 1992, 5 million in 1996, 7 million in 2000 and 10 million today.

On the planet, over 90 percent of the population 45 years and older have difficulty reading, but their distance vision is OK. The current bifocal lenses are divided ... so when people are driving they are not using the bifocal lens. Our lens, with the focusing power, allows them to use the whole lens for different vision tasks at the same time.

One of the biggest challenges for the MENA region is unemployment coupled with high population growth rates. The World Bank is committed to supporting infrastructure projects that will help with job creation across the region.

One of the most marvelous features of Canton is the city of house boats, floating and stationary, in which about a quarter of a million people live and, it may with truth be added, are born and die. This population is quite distinct in race from the land population of Canton, which looks down upon it as a pariah and alien caste.

One of the problems we currently have is there hasn't been in the population any serious engagement with the ethics of war because we have an all-volunteer army. I would think the return to the draft would be an intervention that would require discussion that might be more helpful in terms of our ability to limit war.

I was scared to death. It's a great responsibility. This is good for the entire Pittsburgh area because we're losing population and need to start getting more people to come to the area.

If we had a light-duty vehicle population that was one-third diesel, that could save up to 1.4 million barrels of oil per day in the U.S.--the amount the U.S. currently imports from Saudi Arabia.

If the situation in Nigeria gets out of control, it will have a devastating impact on the poultry population in the region, it will seriously damage the livelihoods of millions of people and it will increase the exposure of humans to the virus.

If the Shiite population turns against the United States and you see a large-scale resistance by the Shiites against the United States, this reconstruction effort is doomed.

I go up and down Highway 66 here everyday, and I see the remnants of what used to be: The small little hotels, the gas stations, the mom and pop stores, the grocery stores and convenience stores that used to be here 30 years ago, and it hurts. The population is increasing in the area, but everyone drives to Barstow.

I grew up in an upper-middle-class town with a population around 12,000. My high school held around a thousand kids. All smart. We had a strict dress code. If you wore blue jeans to school, they sent you home.

I don't know that increasing population or increasing recreation in the national forest has anything to do with it. There is just not a clear link.

I don't know that I have a good solution to the problem. Now we have another challenge in public education: It's not about wind speed, it's about storm surge. I have some bold ideas but I'm not going to come and say this is what we're going to do. There's a certain percentage of the population that aren't going to leave, I don't care what.

I don't know what kind of value you'd put on CRP as far as wildlife goes. Our wildlife population will take a huge hit when the CRP goes out.

I don't believe in a biological apocalypse, but I think there is stormy biological weather ahead as the human population continues to grow.

I don't believe anybody can be protected with high confidence from car bombs in urban areas. The Israelis and the British have worked as hard on this problem for years as anybody can. They have not provided an adequate protection for their population against car bombs in urban areas. That's -- that is a very, very difficult threat.

I am convening the African Leaders Forum on Disability in partnership with Special Olympics so that a marginalized population long unrecognized does not remain in the shadows. I consider this a critical, moral and practical challenge.

I am concerned that what we did last year was not enough, that it is not going to have an impact. We have got a population we can't afford.

Casper Wyo., population 18,000 when I was born, was large enough to hold the surprises of civilization, but small enough that the prairie was close by - for some in our town, right out the front door - stretching on forever, under the great curving sky.

Certainly not all of the people who evacuated to Baton Rouge are gang members, ... In fact, there are signs that many of them stayed down there. Let's not forget that much of that population is dispersed all over the country. We don't really know for certain yet where the criminal element went.

But contrary to the high expectations that China's 1.2 billion population would provide an ever-expanding market for U.S. goods, ... by 2000 the value of goods imported to the U.S. from China exceeded the value of U.S. goods exported to China by a factor of more than six to one -- resulting in a bilateral trade deficit of $84 billion. Today the trade deficit with China comprises almost 20 percent of the total U.S. trade deficit and is the largest trade deficit the U.S. has with any single nation.

Based on population growth. We could pay off the existing bond early, or as the bond is paid down we could go to voters for new facilities without raising their taxes.

Basically, all the forces that can enlarge the retired elderly population are in overdrive. The forces that would expand the younger (and working) population paying for Social Security and Medicare taxes are in reverse. The result is a kind of perfect demographic storm,

China, with her five thousand years of history, her vast territory and her enormous population stands like a mountain peak among the nations of the world. Her contribution to the civilization of mankind is imperishable. She has been a keen lover of peace; she has had a deep respect for international justice.

I have a feeling that the population is being utilized to carry out the dirty work.

I felt it was a privilege to be working with that population of kids, African Americans from the inner city. I got really attached to all of those kids and I'm still in touch with some of them. Now I see firsthand some of the disadvantages they face. It's very real. They need extra support. The forces these kids are up against are too much for them.

I find it hard to believe that a horoscope would be ""true"" for 1/12 of the population that are all born in the same time period.........however......... it has been quite on point for me lately!

If I recall correctly, there were probably 20 of us. I think the school population was 200 or 300.

I did not claim that every genetic change in a founder population is a genetic revolution. Evidently it requires a special constellation for the occurrence of a more drastic genetic reorganization.

Given the growth of the population and labor force and improvements in productivity, we need to be adding somewhere in the neighborhood of 150,000 jobs per month to nudge unemployment down.

From a global health perspective, if you can give a vaccine at birth, a much higher percentage of the population can be covered.

For several years our district student population has been about 475. Currently it is about 535.

Frisco has two times the commercial property it will need, based on 2025 population figures.

Furthermore, it provides us with the flexibility of increasing the scope and breadth of our resort attractions and our retail and lifestyle offerings based upon market conditions such as increasing population growth, locals- oriented trends, and continued strength in the tourism and convention markets.

funds for family planning and reproductive health will be spent through U.S. Agency for International Development programs and not through the U.N. Population Fund.

I fail to understand how you can justify a poll tax on the entire population, yet exclude a significant proportion of that population from programmes that this tax is paying for.

I don't think you will see or have seen an economic coming together as big as this. This is really going to create in population terms, in GDP terms a currency block that is as big as the United States, if not bigger, and that really is a force to be reckoned with.

If a band of strong wind and rain is coming into the Western Isles of Scotland, with its population of 25,000 or 30,000, then that is significant for them. But if the major urban areas are not affected then it is a good idea not to focus on that first if the majority of the country is fine and settled.

I don't think people should be unduly alarmed, ... They should try to keep the mosquito population down in their own back yard ... but I don't think they should lose sleep over it or lock themselves in the house because they're afraid to go out and expose themselves to mosquitoes.

Forty-three percent of the U.S. population believes there is too much freedom in the press. Twenty-two percent of the U.S. people believe government should censor newspapers.

For those people, CPR with 911 is critical to their survival. In general, the better we have a population trained to deal with events (such as) sudden cardiac arrests, the better off everyone is.

If it wasn't totally out of control before, it certainly is now. There are many who have been seriously attacked. There is also a very poor population who may come in and want even a bowl or a plastic mat or bucket to help improve their lives.

If the U.N. forces do not take measures to protect the Serb population ... we can open the question in the (U.N.) Security Council of their withdrawal from Kosovo and, finally, we can send our forces that will ensure normal functioning of state bodies,

If the current population growth in Ethiopia continues, according to recent figures, by 2050 there will be more than 170 million people.
