Much of the decline in confidence over the past two months can be attributed to the recent hurricanes, (gas) pump shock and a weakening labor market.

Mr. Brokaw's successive accomplishments in broadcast journalism over the last 40 years, along with his more recent achievements in documentary reporting and authorship, have enlightened audiences, providing them with a unique perspective on our nation and its past, and stirring within them a passion about the historical events that have shaped our present day, ...

Net Neutrality originally referred to management of the 'last mile' of the network over which data flows into a person's home, but the debate has grown beyond that in recent years.

One can argue that the market might've gotten ahead of itself, and might have pushed up prices of some of these companies a bit too high. But the recent drop is an overreaction. I see this as a buying opportunity. Prospects for the sector are still extremely positive.

One aspect of this is the way we have come during recent centuries to appreciate that the world and indeed the very universe in which we live have evolved over immense periods of time.

Month-end demand is gone now that we're in a new month and what we're seeing is unwinding of recent flattening positions.

Natural-resources funds have been up and down thus far in 2001. In April, the category's 10 percent rise pulled the average return out of negative territory for the year. The White House has also contributed to the category's recent success with overtures about the need for increased exploration and production.

Natural gas in storage remains very high for this time of year and the most recent production numbers indicate that, had it not been for the hurricane production, would have been much higher in 2005 than 2004.

Never in recent history has so much government money been put into so many programs with so little oversight and so little proven impact.

No change was no surprise, given recent overall evidence of modestly stronger economic activity and a more robust housing market.

No doubt these numbers will be taken by the market as a clear sign of a softening housing market and, by implication, an indication that higher interest rates are biting. We are much more skeptical: housing starts lag home sales, which have been depressed in recent months more by lack of inventory than by higher interest rates.

Right now, it takes a large company employing hundreds of really smart people to support Internet services. Our goal with this center is to develop technology that eliminates the need for such a large organization, opening up innovation opportunities for small groups or even individual entrepreneurs. We can help do this by applying statistical machine learning - the same technology used successfully in the recent autonomous vehicle grand challenge - to the development of computer systems.

One of the recent themes has been the falling dollar, higher materials and commodities. If that is reversing, you could see a rotation out of materials and commodities. At the same time, oils are getting hit by falling crude prices.

One of the most significant trends in recent times has been the take up of SOA (service-oriented architecture), with all the main IT vendors starting to take the approach on board. The implications of this include that IT departments must start to address SOA in plans for the future and look at how this impacts enterprise application delivery.

One of the complaints I used to hear is that the players (in recent years) were retreads. They talked about what it was like when Curt Schilling pitched here. Now, you're going to see players on the way up. It will be quality baseball.

I guess if there's any surprise it's that I would have thought exports would have grown a little more than they did. But in the second quarter everyone else had weaker economies, although more recent signs are that things abroad are picking up. So maybe June was too soon to look for an increase.

If we get anywhere close to the forecast, its going to be negative for bonds, cause that market has depended on a miss on payrolls in recent months.

Idaho Power is making this issue very public, and is adamant about gaining support any way they can. While they are quick to blame H.B. 800 for the recent drop in their credit rating, they should really be blaming themselves. Their tactics only earned them negative publicity, and they shouldn't be surprised that their credit rating reflects that.

I am extremely concerned at recent reports in the press about this case and would urge everybody to stop,

I am extremely concerned about the recent application, approved by current directors, to convert to a mutual savings bank. And I'm even more concerned about the lack of communication from board members and executive management to members.

I am saddened by the recent announcements of violations of baseball's drug program. There exists some doubt in the public sector about our sincerity in eliminating steroids from the game. That is wrong. We must create an understanding everywhere that when we say we need to rid the game of steroids, we mean it.

I am really proud of this team tonight. We had an outstanding effort for the full 40 minutes. In recent games, we've been having that sustaining power for only 34 or 35 minutes. So this is big for this team. We can build on this.

I am very concerned about the actions of USDA to close beef processing plants in Montana. The timing of this action is disturbing. We hope USDA is not taking this action in retribution for MCA, R-CALF USA and Governor Schweitzer's recent actions to protect the Montana cow herd from Canadian bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Governor Schweitzer purchased a 4-H pig during the Lewis and Clark County Fair, and that carcass is hanging at the Butte plant targeted for closure by USDA.

Certainly President and Mrs. Bush, because of their faith, celebrate Christmas. Their cards in recent years have included best wishes for a holiday season, rather than Christmas wishes, because they are sent to people of all faiths.

Certainly closing above 4,400 last week has been positive. The market seemed to be struggling to get over that. We've been helped in quite large part by a big move in the oils in recent days.

But there is a shortage. And that's one of the issues that were discussed at a recent legislative meeting. And that shortage still remains until we can at least get some programs a little bit further along into active mode, which we expect very shortly.

But there are plenty of stops along the supply chain with weaknesses: the start of hurricane season, Iraqi production hanging on by a thread, recent problems in Ecuador, no sign of growth in Russian production and continued speculative interest in being 'long' in this market. The increases of the last month reflect that backdrop.

Business conditions in the first half have been some of the most difficult that we have experienced in recent years,

Business conditions for the life offices provide some grounds for optimism. We notice that in the recent reporting period, all life offices reported moderate to strong gains in their embedded values. This is a key determinant of the health of the life industry, and with strong rises in this key measure, the underlying business is not in bad shape.

Business activity in the services and construction sectors has been accelerating in recent months and is now growing quite quickly, providing momentum for the economy coming into 2005.

Bubble conditions may not be present yet but are approaching such and thus require close monitoring going forward.

Our expectation is that this should occur, since rising mortgage rates should slow the growth in housing prices to a rate below gains in income.

Based on recent literature, freeze, flight, fight, fright, faint provides a more complete description of the human acute stress response sequence than current descriptions.

Based on recent adverse findings for performance-enhancing substances and the subsequent allegations of trafficking in these substances, I feel that it is necessary to commission a wide-ranging inquiry to examine all the details of the allegations.

Chinese cinema has taken the world by storm in recent years. And as China celebrates a hundred years of movie making in 2005, it is a perfect time for Disney to bring its wholesome family entertainment expertise to this rapidly growing market as part of the Walt Disney Company's focus on expanding our presence in China.

China stocks are always risky. Many funds sold off the stocks after recent sharp gains, which drove down the stocks. I expect to see further correction in China stocks.

China is emerging as a key growth engine for the world economy, contributing over a quarter of total global growth in recent years, more than any other country. The downside for U.S. consumers and businesses is that this is forcing global commodity prices higher.

China and Latin America have seen improved political relations and close trade exchanges in recent years.

Imagine how different those classrooms could be if hundreds of Nigeria's most talented recent graduates and professionals channeled their energy not only into the country's banks, but into making education in the country a force for transformation.

I have already mentioned that recent years have brought with them much disillusionment concerning what has so far been achieved by humanity.

I have a huge amount of respect for what Parker has done. He is creating what could be the best merger in the airline industry, managing the merger as well as any airline has done in recent memory.

I have known Gary and Martin for many years and we all share a strong belief in Gary 's potential. Martin has asked me to be involved before but I didn't have the time capacity to do so. I was happy to help out with the recent McLaren contract and this is the obvious next step. Martin Hines has done a great job for Gary to get him this far.

I felt it man. Tonight was my night. I've been going slow these recent days. Prior to this game I only had one goal, so I had to step it up. I'm a senior so I got to do what I got to do.

I feel good about this team. We've had a lot of success in recent years, and we want to continue that. We've got a group here that I think can do that.

I can't say where she is, ... This is a great way for us to end the summer - with Martha working by our side without the recent constraints on her time. We're excited to have Martha with us around the clock as we continue to create excellent products and entertaining programs.

I can't escape the conclusion that the recent interest in this change in the way our local government works has been brought about by frustration over current conditions in the school committee rather than by any measured consideration of the general process of government.

I can't honestly tell you there has been a time in recent years where I've been this fired up, this excited. It's like I'm, well, 28 or 29 again,

I can think of a recent disaster that shows what happens when a country neglects its duties of state towards its people.
