Thirty-eight people were booked on the bus initially and more boarded later. Up to 45 people are feared dead.

A lot of people don't understand what it takes to actually do an entire deal. I've seen people get involved with renovation projects that cost more than they initially thought. A lot try to do their own general contracting to decrease the cost. Then they find they can't put in the new granite countertops because the cabinet guys haven't installed the cabinets yet. I've seen people underestimate what it takes to sell a property. They underestimate the holding costs, the mortgage, insurance, selling expenses, taxes. They think, 'If I sell it for $500,000 and buy it for $350,000, I'll make $150,000.' It's not like that.

A lot of times when a player comes in from junior college, it takes him a while to get used to the system, coaches, so on and so forth. Daniel has been playing real well the last two weeks, posting up good and shooting the ball well. We decided today, 'You know what, let's got to him and see what he does.' We went to him initially and he responded. So, we went to him for the rest of the game.

They had anticipated this transaction when they initially purchased shares of KTM in August. KTM recently increased its outstanding capital stock as part of a transaction that resulted in it acquiring the interests of a minority shareholder in one of its subsidiaries. The purpose of the additional share purchase announced today is to maintain Polaris' 24.9% interest in the capital stock of KTM,

It's not unusual for tires to experience some cosmetic cracking, and that is what we initially saw in this situation, ...

It may not be as hard as it initially appears.

It's safe. What you're going to be seeing initially is a lot of interest.

The body barely got out before dark hit. The ice initially wasn't bad to dig through, but then as they got deeper it became more difficult.

It's dropped significantly. Initially there was some great concern about this.

The judge didn't order the feds to suddenly release all sorts of classified or secret information. All the judge did was to tell the Justice Department that it has to speed up its response to a request for information about the National Security Agency program.

The Metropolitan Police Service initially resisted us taking on the investigation but we overcame that.

The feedback initially was very harsh. But we knew we were not going to reap immediate dividends from this name change. It's a long term venture.

I initially wanted to work in the music industry more on the A&R side. While I was in school, I began working in the New Business department of an advertising firm, and very quickly I was responsible for roughly 70% of their business, so you could say I had a natural knack for the advertising world.

I initially thought there was a mechanical failure or something to that effect but the guys are looking over the bike now and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. I had hit my head pretty hard when I got thrown down.

I initially thought, like most Americans did, that they had to be extraordinary people. It seemed like such a maliciously brilliant thing that could only be achieved by maliciously brilliant people. That turned out to be the farthest thing from the truth. They were far too common. That's the really scary thing that the reporting told me.

I initially knew it would be a tough series; we never ran away from them in the regular season, so I don't expect to in this one.

I initially became a trainer in 2002 to help people shape their bodies, to help them look the way they wanted to look. This would reflect the way I was living. I was focusing on the exterior. Then in 2003/4, I had a paradigm shift. I started a business for bariatric patients, pre- and post-gastric bypass.

I love travelling, but I have to admit I didn't initially take to Agra in India. As soon as you arrive, someone wants to show you around, take your bags or sell you something - and it's just a bit of a culture shock. You just have to make the necessary mental adjustment to the setting.

Initially I'm not in favor of any tax increase.

Initially I didn't want to do it. My girlfriend talked me into it.

Initially when this all came about, I was very negative about it. I said you do more good for them broadcasting your show every night (from San Francisco) than by putting yourself in harm's way and not being here to do it.

Initially we stuck him in there because we had run out of options. He is a big kid who has some power and we thought maybe we can find a guy to pick up some run support when they didn't want to pitch to Helton. Obviously he took that opportunity and ran with it. He is a legitimate fourth bat in the lineup. He is not just hitting behind Helton any more.

Initially we just wanted him to be able to get healthy. And now for him to come back and be able to pitch, that's a plus.

Initially we had a problem getting the word out and reaching the target market.

Initially we got some complaints. After a couple of weeks, they started to taper off. The customers have told us the most important thing to them is low air fares. Part of the way to provide low air fares is to reduce costs.

Initially we'd set on a process of beginning to do some segmentation.

Initially it looked like it was going to be big, but we moved very quickly to restore service.

I'll say initially acting was my first love, and that's what I pursued. But then, so far as even my first day on a film set, and just watching how things were set up, I just said, 'I think I want to be in charge.' I am very much type-A. I am a bit of a control freak.

I just liked the sound that came out of a flute. I just loved it. It just initially attracted me and then I got hooked. It is a little different for a kid that age to become hooked on the flute. It's a difficult instrument to learn, but I didn't find it as difficult as I thought it would be.

He's a master of that minimal thing, ... Which is kind of odd for someone initially known for painting in broad comedic strokes. And then to see him work with a tiny, fine, one-haired brush like that, you know? He's really pretty amazing. He can go either way, as far as you want him to.

I designed it initially in such a way that any American could participate. That always ends up being the most precious gift in the care packages.
