We are gratified that so many organizations have banded together to support giving women's history a home.

Women have not received the recognition they deserve.

We are continuing to do everything possible to improve the quality of life for the Palestinian population that is not involved with terror,

Tomorrow, the U.S. Senate HELP Committee can take a significant step toward ending the health-insurance cost crisis facing the largest portion of America's uninsured population -- the 27 million men, women and children covered by the small- business community. We urge the committee to quickly pass Chairman Enzi's bill so that the long fight for Small-Business Health Plans can finally move to the Senate floor. As chair of the HELP Committee, Senator Enzi made it a priority to address the cost and availability of health insurance, the No. 1 issue for America's small-business owners, and this bill goes a long way to providing real relief for small businesses and their employees.

We're averaging about 30 percent mortality per year, or 70 percent of birds released are surviving. For the population to survive on its own, we need survival to be 90 percent. As the population builds, we're hoping that mortality decreases.

We recognize that a growing portion of our population isn't Caucasian and isn't suburban, A lot of the dads who come from different countries don't have an experience with the Boy Scouts of America, so we have to explain to the parents what we do.

There is just a horrendous deer population in that area. We saw 30 deer every day.

The question is whether Harper can convince the Canadian population that he is trustworthy and will do what he said he would, and that he does not have a hidden agenda. If people get more comfortable with him, then I think he has a chance to probably expand his base.

This storm has been like a windshield wiper, ... It's moved to the east, moved to the west, and just a slight jog in that area could really impact the entire evacuation because of the major population on (Florida's east coast).

We don't know what the extent of the population is beyond these two.

We do find a fair number of youth in the homeless population that because of their circumstances are either no longer welcome or may have fled from their homes that are in need of services, but they cannot access them.

The declining impact of education on our adult population was the biggest surprise for us, and we just don't have a good explanation. It may be that institutions have not yet figured out how to teach a whole generation of students who learned to read on the computer and who watch more TV. It's a different kind of literacy.

The decade began with the economy off track, but the population boom kept rolling along and is on track to nearly match the record 1990s. The country found places to keep booming, shying away from the high-cost coasts and seeking the South and the mountain West.

The debate around the ageing population should, in my view, focus much more on how we grow the active, working population.

Our object must be to bring our territory into harmony with the numbers of our population.

Survivor species tend to have huge populations, so they can afford to lose many individuals and still survive as a species. They also tend to be small. If you're small, you need less food - which is great in a situation where famine is everywhere.

What we all have to admit to is that one man cannot save us. Unless we start energizing ourselves, all standing behind him with all of the force of our collective power then we can't expect mountains to be moved. And that is not exactly happening, we are a very comfortable population.

It's time we did something to assert ourselves. After all, we do comprise 10% of the population.

A refugee population is hungry for language and aware that anything can happen.

Either a species learns to control its own population, or something like disease, famine, war, will take care of the issue.

Do we look like thrill-seekers? Wasn't it enough that we had to put up that sign reading NO HABLA ESPANOL and acknowledge the existence of thirty percent of the population, even in the negative?

It's like in biological evolution: The population will evolve, even though individuals can't. The same thing happens in the corporate world: The population of business units within corporations evolves, even though individual business units can't. That's because the capabilities of business units reside in their processes and their values, and by their very nature, processes and values are inflexible and meant not to change.

The middle class, in the white population, encompasses a wide swath.

In order for a service to be social, you've really got to start from the ground up. The fact that almost a third of the U.S. population have even heard of Spotify is really because they've seen it on Facebook and friends have been sharing.

I have no doubt that the fundamental problem the planet faces is the enormous increase in the human population

Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps we should control the population to ensure the survival of our environment

While such essential care would not include the cost of visits to the doctor, our data suggest that people who receive additional assistance would be less likely to be hospitalized, and that could conceivably allow us to keep our health care-costs down while still providing for our frail elders. As our population ages, there will be more need to find economical ways to care for this group, and adequate home-based care could be both less expensive and more effective for some than full-time nursing-home care.

With a current elephant population of 600, the (Shimba Hills) National Reserve is choking. The elephants destroy the habitat, break park fences and cause mayhem and destruction in villages surrounding the park.

Those who strike our population will pay a very high price. We will act in a manner that will have the effect of dissuading them.

UCLA's School of Public Health is now poised to house one of the leading reproductive health and population centers in the United States.

When I was born, the world's population was 3.5 billion. There are now 6.8 billion people on the planet. By 2050, that's expected to rise to 9.4 billion. What's more, the Earth's resources aren't growing; they're decreasing - and rapidly.

We will endeavor to do all that we can for those stricken by these terrible natural disasters. The real tragedy is the over population and over breeding of all domestic pets.

There are a number of statistics to indicate that about half of the world's population has yet to make their first phone call, ... And our investment thesis is that over time, almost all of those users who make that first phone call will do so over a wireless phone. Nokia (NOK) indicated yesterday that there are about 520 million wireless subscribers today, and that number is expected to top a billion in 2002. We think it could top a billion and a half by 2004.

When you have a population that is immobile, no matter how you plead for them to leave no matter how early you get a start they can't leave! It's like the Titanic is sinking. They couldn't just say, 'Everyone off!' There's no place to go. You're stuck!

With Outlook bikers in Australia, if you've got a little emblazoned thing that's got 'one percent' on it, that means you're one percent of the population and a dangerous criminal.

We're the wealthiest, most powerful nation in the world and here we have one of the most endangered populations of large mammals in the world right out our back door. And I think it would be a shame if 100 years from now, this population became extinct because we didn't give it our all.
