Where the wind made it difficult for several riders Saturday, today was nearly perfect for the runners.

We appreciate the tremendous support and generosity from La Petite Academy's children, parents and associates, which has enabled us to grant the heartfelt wishes of nearly 400 children nationwide so far.

Until we regain a defensive swagger we are going to continue to struggle. It's a mystery to me why we have lost our confidence to play defensive with intensity. Letting another team shoot nearly 60 percent from the field is a tragedy.

Whether they are patients needing access to affordable health care or survivors of a disaster, we do our best to ensure that people in need are not forgotten. Our founders established these values nearly 130 years ago, and we live by them today.

Whether the Fed goes 25 or 50 basis points next week might mean something for managing market psychology, but it doesn't mean nearly as much for the broader economy. Their language regarding their future considerations on rates is what should matter.

When we were kind of forced (by real life sniper murders in the Washington area that were too close to the film's plot) to pull the picture in October (from its Nov. 15 date), he wasn't nearly as big a star as he is today after 'Daredevil' and 'The Recruit.' He's become this hot guy.

We know we're not quite there yet, last year was a fantastic day for us here. It was a big step towards winning it today. We're the ones nine points clear and as long as we do our job we're going to win the league. We got the result, we're nearly there.

Ultimately, the bill may rest on a shaky premise, as Clean Air Act permitting provisions seem to have only a marginal effect on decisions by oil companies to invest in new refining capacity, ... Industry and government analysts alike agree that profit margins are the most significant factor, and record profits from high gasoline prices have encouraged a major investment in added refining capacity. Projects already reported or announced are expected to add nearly 600,000 b/d to our existing capacity over the next several years.

We have nearly 8km of exhibitions but even I can't tell you exactly how many pieces we have because even a small archway or a minor fresco is art.

This is what the food industry has been saying all along, that biotech ingredients are in more and more foods every day and that they are as safe and nutritious as non-biotech foods.

We want to thank Larry Torres of T&D Machine Products in Carson City. They're the leading supplier of rocker arms for nearly everyone in racing.

We also will continue to partner with the Pistons to do a great deal of work in the community. Rock Financial has given away nearly 20,000 tickets to area youth organizations in the past two years and we'll do that again this year. Many of the young people that receive tickets might not otherwise have an opportunity to attend a professional basketball game.

We are helping to recover the Jewish history of Spain, ... After Israel, Jerusalem and Babylonia, this was the largest and most important Diaspora community. It existed nearly intact for about 1,500 years.

We did not know they were in the river until we started checking and found them five years ago. The gizzards had been established in Morgan for nearly four years before anyone started to look for them elsewhere. No one looked for them before that time.

We did not know an attack was coming because for nearly a decade our government had blinded itself to its enemies.

We did not catch it nearly as early as we should have,

There are people who you see on screen and think, 'Wow, that's a slim person,' and in the flesh they look nearly dead.

There are nearly 300 million PC users out there now, and so that gives us a very, very broad market. So we can put far more, you know, ten times more into R&D of the operating system, yet make it available for one-tenth or less the price.

The only value of nearly five decades of my work is a warning to the murderers of tomorrow, that they will never rest.

(Lee's) had a pretty hectic season, he's played nearly every game for Australia and he's done exceptionally well for us. He's bowled fast all the time so, once again, he's another one of those players that we're really going to have to manage a little bit, possibly a little bit better, in the future.

Many people are choosing this winter to replace their older furnace and invest in a high-efficiency furnace. Some of today's furnaces have an efficiency rating of 94.2 percent.

She was the difference. When you outshoot a team 2-1, and get nearly 40 on net, you would expect some to go in.

Sexy is attitude, but fitness for me is my dance. I dance two hours nearly every day. You break into good sweat, and it doesn't even feel like exercise. Apart from that, I enjoy Pilates.

On any given day, we estimate that nearly 40 million people around the world are treated with a Pfizer medicine,

Olympic transformation nearly complete, ingredients for great Games in place

Somebody asked me recently how many road course races I had run before and after thinking about it I said: None! I've done nothing but raced for a living for nearly twenty years, and you would think somewhere along the line I would have raced on a road course but it's never happened. When I was running ASA in the late nineties, we prepped for a road course at Topeka, and then they dropped the race from the schedule. Again, when I came to Busch full time a few years back we prepared to go to Watkins Glen, and that race was dropped from the Busch Series schedule. I guess the third time is a charm. I finally get to go road racing! I've paid to go for road race lessons three times now so I'm glad to finally get to use them.

Some customers have nearly doubled their energy costs. For those customers, demand response programs are at the top of their pile.

Shuttering nearly a fourth of the FSA offices in Iowa can only lead to more inconvenience and less service for Iowans.

Should Congress grant video providers the extraordinary regulatory relief represented by national broadband video franchises -- turning nearly 40 years of local control of video services on its head -- Congress must also ensure net neutrality. Such a policy would ensure that those same companies make their broadband networks available to all applications, content and service providers on a nondiscriminatory basis.

Short-term, the market is looking for an excuse to sell off. Year-to-date, you've got the Nasdaq up almost 46 percent, the Dow up nearly 20 percent, the S&P 500 up 22 percent, and there's a bit of a 'take the money and run' sentiment.

She disappeared at a spot just a short distance from our home. We had no news whatsoever about her for nearly 20 years.

She didn't tell me nearly as much. I think she didn't want to frighten me.

She has really great chemistry with the pitchers. She has a great grasp of the entire game, what is working and what is not working for the pitcher and what to do in certain counts. She keeps the game moving, so we don't have to call time nearly as much.

Sir, I nearly beat a military intelligence detainee to death with military intelligence there. We treated each military detainee specifically on how the handler wanted.
