The state of Texas, the nation, isn't prepared for what's going to happen with diabetes we're in for a rocky road if we don't figure out in the next decade or so how to prevent this. I'm an optimist I think we'll figure it out.

The substantial investment made by Bombardier in the past decade is helping to shape corporate aviation throughout Asia.

The study indicates that the contribution of the ice sheets to recent sea-level rise during the decade studied was much smaller than expected, just two percent of the recent increase of nearly three millimeters a year. Continuing research using NASA satellites and other data will narrow the uncertainties in this important issue.

The stability is very important to this league, and the potential over the next decade is huge.

Sometimes I'm out on tour and you feel you're really getting somewhere and the audience is building and there's five or six hundred people coming to see you every night just from word-of-mouth. And then you go somewhere and you feel like you've gone back a decade and you're playing to 15 or 20 people. You think to yourself, 'Should I change my life, get another job?

Perhaps it's time to bring the process into a new decade with more transparency.

A decade or two ago, the market was not strong enough for new market-rate development to work in East New York; today it does. And with low interest rates, you see lots of market-rate construction that is affordable to people making roughly an average income for New York City.

A decade is gone and so many things have happened,

A decade ago, people would have said this is outrageous consolidation, but today, given competition with cable and other providers, there may be less concern now.

A decade ago, nobody wanted to live down here. It was raw space. And look at it now. It's definitely much harder now for a club to survive.

A decade ago, all states were in play, in a feeding frenzy for gaming revenues.

After a decade of starring in this league, Dikembe established himself as one of the league's top reserves last season. Deke gives us rebounding and defense off the bench and he also serves as a personal mentor to Yao Ming. He is a valuable contributor as well as a great teammate.

Adam, Grant and Tory have worked at ILM for some years. I worked there on one job with Grant and we became friends. Adam and Tory had worked with me or for me before then and, in fact, Adam got his first work in the field when I hired him over a decade ago. I found ILM a great place to work and that there were a lot of very talented people there. Many of the people there have worked with me over the years.

Command & Conquer The First Decade is a true collection of amazing, innovative C&C games from the last ten years. We wanted to give back to our loyal community and avid fans and also offer a great way for gamers to experience the series and immerse themselves into the legendary franchise for the first time.

A number of factors contribute to the sustained demand for rented accommodation in Yorkshire. The burgeoning student population of Englands largest county, with major universities at Sheffield, Hull, Leeds and York, among others, underpin demand for rented properties. Many students, after graduation, remain in the county and as first jobbers look for shared accommodation with their friends in the major towns. An important demographic trend that has sustained the growth of the private rented sector over the past decade or so has been the tendency for young people to leave the family home at a fairly young age to go on to further education and not return. In addition, there has been a net influx of jobs in some parts of Yorkshire which has helped create a requirement for more rented homes.

The Boys of Summer were heroes in Brooklyn for a full postwar decade partly because the players could not entertain higher offers.

The broad overview within the state is that throughout the decade we still have fewer private sector jobs and have not created high paying jobs.

Australia has suffered a decade of drought, epic floods, a Category 5 cyclone, and a plague of locusts. But just because Aussies have the biggest carbon footprint in the world, it doesn't mean they're stupid.

All of this is leading to a rather bleak outlook on profitability through the rest of this decade and a trend toward greater consolidation.

You're seeing a shift within the charter school movement. The first 10 years were about creating choices for parents. The second decade is a focus on identifying successful models and replicating them as quickly as possible.

This is not a strong period in our economy or the national economy, but unlike a decade ago, we're not doing worse.

This is not a new interest for me, ... It's just that I've spent the last decade or so working more on basic Internet infrastructure evolution at MCI.

This is perhaps the best opportunity we've had in the past decade to finally secure a permanent funding mechanism for tourism.

This dramatic revolution marks the end of the probably most painful and dramatic decade in the history of Yugoslavia, ... Now our task is to look forward and make up for years of isolation and economic destruction.

This forces family businesses to sometimes sell off under fire-sale conditions to come up with cash. Sometimes it causes them to go into a decade or more of very, very deep debt, which takes away their capital and their ability to grow as they had been growing, to provide more jobs and employment opportunities. Sometimes they end up having to slice off parts of the business or farm to come up with the cash.

They were found regularly a decade ago, but they haven't been found here for four years. It's kind of a shame.

A lot of people spend their last decade of their lives in pain and misery combating disease.

They are the only ones who destroyed the most innovative company in Silicon Valley in the past decade -- Netscape Communications, ... They paid people not to ship Netscape's browser. They're special.

This (ORV use) has become a problem over the last decade or two. Most Forest Service plans were made 15 years ago when four-wheelers and ATVs were virtually nonexistent. Not many were used and snow machines were relegated to groomed trails.

This option does not suit us, because we have a very international team. A decade ago it would have been hard to imagine what is happening now. It would have looked like an anti-utopia.

At least the house appreciates. In every decade it has turned out to be an excellent investment.

It's a strange thing for Bush to have slipped into, given the savvy you expected from this administration, with a vice president who spent over a decade on Capitol Hill. It seems as if his people would have seen that there was potential for trouble, and at least done their homework on the Hill.

It wasn't surprising really. The August same-store numbers really confirm the trend of slowing retail sales and consumer spending, ... August was the back-to-school that wasn't. August and back-to-school doesn't quite have the importance it did a decade ago, but outside of that make no mistake, consumer spending has slowed down and Americans are tapped out.

It is profoundly discouraging to learn that the share of African-American kids attending segregated schools has barely changed in the last decade since school choice policies were adopted in Michigan. We should all be concerned about the kind of society we are creating, in which more than half of African-American students in Michigan go to schools in which virtually none of their classmates are not also African-American.

It's a great feeling. It definitely hasn't happened in this decade where Hand has been 5-0. It's always nice to be undefeated, that's for sure.

It's not that I do not care about it. I've seen it very often in my career. For example, 'Aguirre: The Wrath of God' was refused by the Cannes Film Festival and in the German press it was so badly reviewed that you had the feeling it was the worst film of the decade and it endured the test of time. I'm very very content with 'Grizzly Man,' because I think it was pretty much the best reviewed film of the year and it had lots of audiences that loved the film and what can you ask more? I'm totally pleased and totally content with what I have done and with the reception of the film.

For many people in the U.N., the 1990s was the worst decade the organization experienced. This was the decade of Somalia, Srebrenica, of Rwanda and so forth, and yet the reality is, during this period, although there were these awful conflicts, the overall number of wars had gone down.

For a decade or more after the Vietnam war, the people who had guided the U.S. to disaster decently shrank from the public stage.

It's the lowest level of growth for almost a decade and the government had indicated it was expecting something in the region of 3 percent,

It's been a decade now that they have been illegally polluting into the Humboldt River.

It's been almost a decade since the Burger King system enjoyed seven quarters of positive comp sales in the United States. As part of our Go Forward Plan, we're working together with our franchisees to deliver great products served hot and fresh by friendly and fast employees in a clean and safe restaurant environment. Our long run of positive sales increases shows that customers have noticed and appreciate our efforts.

Congress was acutely aware that for more than a decade before the passage of these laws, every attempt to close or realign a major base in this country had been blocked by Congress itself or by the courts. Congress undoubtedly recognized that objective and prompt decisions concerning base closings are vitally important, particularly at a time of budgetary problems and rapidly changing defense needs.

The next decade will be the best decade this community has ever had. All of the pieces are place.

The next decade is just going to be explosive. We need to know where we are going to be five, 10, 15 years from now.

That's sort of mysterious. A dust ring lasts a year or two, or a decade at most unless it's continuously replenished.

The banking system that emerges now will be very different from the one that went into crisis a decade ago.

That has to be built out so that downtown can thrive. The worst thing that could happen to lower Manhattan would be for that hole in the ground to exist for another decade or two, and that's what Silverstein has contemplated even if all goes according to his plan.

It's certainly reasonable to expect above-normal hurricane seasons for the next decade or perhaps even longer. It's not a matter of if more hurricanes are going to hit the coast, it's simply a matter of when.

It's an exciting time. It's been a decade since Thomas More has been in a conference. It's a great conference, very competitive. I think it's a great fit. We're excited about the opportunity to face some of the top teams in the country.

It's an absolute force to be reckoned with at the end of this decade or early next decade.

It's doubled his workload, at least. He's trying to get to know these guys quickly. That didn't happen 30 years ago. The decade that Jorge has had with the Yankees has been much harder, from a mental standpoint, than Bench with the Reds or (Carlton) Fisk with the Red Sox or White Sox.

It's criminal that a decade has gone by and all these young kids are growing up without a team to relate to. We're going to have to make some hard decisions as a league. Are we going to expand or move a team there? But this committee should basically be the votes, when we agree on something, that we can get it done.

It's huge. They have been one of the best teams in the last decade and Kentucky has been a big part of college basketball for a long time. It's a thrill to be part of this type of game.

I've had the great good fortune over the last probably decade of getting to work together with His Holiness the Dalai Lama . ... I've learned to tell the truth in a more compassionate way. I'm trying to be a kinder and gentler speaker.

They've spent the last decade competing against General Motors when they should have been competing against Toyota.

They've had their franchise, particularly domestically, eroded in the last decade by the value sector. I think now they're going on the offensive. While this will hurt earnings, I think it's the right thing to do.

There's this open question of what Google is going to be a decade or more from now. Google X isn't the only answer to that question, but it was built as a place to do some of the exploration to find some great new problems for Google to tackle.

It's really critical that we maintain this cash hoard to keep our forward momentum going into the latter half of this decade and beyond.

It's reasonable to expect ongoing high levels of hurricane activity for many years to come and more importantly, ongoing high levels of hurricane landfalls for the next decade or perhaps longer.

Social attitudes have changed. This would have been inconceivable a decade ago. Now there are more women in Parliament and opposition to smoking goes across the range of age and class.

The last decade was dominated by Bill Owens. The Owens era is ending because of term limits.

The last decade has been professionally exhilarating for me and I am so proud of the many things that the team at The League has accomplished, ... It is also a good time for the League, which is nearly at the end of a comprehensive strategic planning project that will identify new visions and directions for the organization. It deserves a fresh pair of legs to run the next lap of the race, taking this industry to new heights. I am committed to helping The League make a smooth transition during this important phase in its development.

The last decade has been a little rough, so I'm hoping to start this one on the right foot.

I'm going to say that Carl Edwards -- I predict -- is the driver of the decade for not only Roush Racing but for all of Nextel Cup racing, ... I cant imagine anybody coming into the business in their first full year and being able to win four times, and won in the Busch car for the first time this year.
