Given recent Fed warnings over high levels of capacity utilization and low levels of unemployment, today's report increases the probability that the Fed will raise rates above 5.0% later this year. Last Friday's release of March unemployment further buttresses this view.

Given recent activity, McAfee AVERT Labs forecasts that attackers may attempt to test the viability of exploiting this vulnerability en masse, by producing a reconnaissance Trojan to identify a vulnerable user base.

Now, the message is 'welcome to zero-day vulnerability land for many Mac OS X users' Only, Mac OS X users are less prepared, less aware and mitigation tools are less evolved.

Given our recent history with groin injuries, they tend to take a little longer than you think. We've had players come back, feel OK, and then re-injure themselves.

Getting our affected Gulf Coast states the aid they need to help victims and rebuild communities continues to be our highest priority. Today's passage is the second aid package in recent days, and it illustrates one thing: this Congress is serious about doing everything we can to help local, state and federal officials respond to this crisis.

Frank's always been around. I think it's recent that I've managed to isolate him, identify him and give him a name. He's my alter ego.

Futures are not for everyone, but with major stock indexes flat to down over the past five-year period, even buy-and-hold equity strategies have risks.

I expect a weaker opening here due to a higher yen and a fall in U.S. stocks, while a halt in recent rises in oil, gold and other commodity prices is a plus.

From the softer ad market and the organizational changes in 2005, Fisher is poised in 2006 to capitalize on an attractive business structure going forward as well as other opportunities such as the recent Seattle Super Bowl (that pitted the Seahawks versus the Pittsburgh Steelers) carried on our Seattle and Portland ABC affiliates.

Given the response to our scholarship program in the past two years, and with the recent cuts to student loan programs by Congress, it is clear that there is a huge need for these resources. So many GLBT students -- as well as their supporters -- face steep challenges in funding their education, so we are grateful for the generous bequest and donations that make this program possible.

Given the recent surge in energy prices and higher medical costs, many will not be made whole by the increase. The increase is backwards looking; it represents inflation over the last year. In the near term, inflation will be greater.

He takes hundreds of recent law graduates at their most vulnerable, dependent state and guides them, soothes them, suffers with them, flatters them, advises them, exhorts them, humors them and holds their hands over the last hurdle before they enter the practice of law.

He has looked quite sharp in training, although everybody has to be fair. The players in recent weeks have given me everything to turn things around ? and that's something that wouldn't go amiss against Chelsea.

He had just served as the best man in a recent wedding. He was an adult volunteer who helped out at youth activities, which is a common practice in every church. Like many other people in our church, I was completely caught off guard and shocked by this. It seemed completely out of character for him.

He has demonstrated this in Wasps' recent Heineken Cup and Zurich Premiership matches, and merits his return on his current form.

HEI acquired more than $1.5 billion in hotels over the past 36 months. We believe the outlook for hotel investment remains quite positive.

He has provided very important and valuable leadership on a range of issues from the Latin American debt crisis in the 1980s to the challenge of the transition economies following the fall of the Berlin Wall to the emerging market challenges of recent years.

This was one of the largest in recent years and certainly the most efficient and the most peaceful. They weren't trying to take over downtown. It was a fantastic, peaceful voicing of opinion.

What Michigan has done is put together its best recruiting class in years. Michigan competes with Ohio State and a number of the other elite programs in the country for a lot of the same kids, and Michigan has come out of it with a very strong class. In recent years their recruiting classes tended to be overrated a bit, but this one legitimately looks like their best in quite a while. They really solidified their core, and added much-needed speed.

There is no evidence in their recent history that would indicate that injuries have in any way compromised their ability to perform in a winning way.

What you have seen in recent weeks is the usual seasonal doldrums. We will have a good recovery. The market will still be healthy.

We have to avoid becoming stagnant. We knew at some point Orlando would hit a stretch where they hit shots.

I thought we did a good job of staying away from that.

I agree with Gould that the frequency of stasis in fossil species revealed by the recent analysis was unexpected by most evolutionary biologists.

He was a good friend, maintaining his sense of humor and proportion throughout the difficult period that marked his most recent service,

He wanted to make sure the board understood that they (Gonzalez and her volunteers) do an outstanding job and are a value to the county. But the recent disasters have really drained community support at this time.

Halloween has become in recent times a little more of a retail-type holiday than you've seen it in decades past. It's becoming a little more important not just for sales of scary masks, but there generally is more traffic into the stores. It's sort of the beginning of fall, something like the precursor for what's to come.

Hanukkah represents the eight days that oil burned in the temple when there was only enough to burn for one night. Our gathering this year has even more meaning in light of recent events. As small as our Jewish group has become that's met in Diamondhead for 20 years, it's important that we be together. No one remains untouched by the hurricane.

Hank left a legacy at Gonzaga. He definitely helped lay the foundation for what Gonzaga basketball has accomplished in recent years. He took us into Division I and was behind Gonzaga joining a conference for the first time as a Division I program. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

HANDKERCHIEF, n. A small square of silk or linen, used in various ignoble offices about the face and especially serviceable at funerals to conceal the lack of tears. The handkerchief is of recent invention; our ancestors knew nothing of it and intrusted its duties to the sleeve. Shakespeare's introducing it into the play of "Othello" is an anachronism: Desdemona dried her nose with her skirt, as Dr. Mary Walker and other reformers have done with their coattails in our own day --an evidence that revolutions sometimes go backward.

Guatemala is going through the most promising period of its recent history,

Kevin has had a disruptive time with injuries in recent times, and it will do him a world of good to get a month of first-team football. Hopefully he will come back to us nice and sharp.

Italian writer-director Paolo Sorrentino makes zombie movies, which probably comes as a surprise to him. At the center of his best and most recent pictures are the walking dead, characters in a race with themselves across mortality's finish line, their spirits arriving before the rest of them.

I think it's admirable what he did, because there have been some guys in recent history that have gotten their contract and gotten hurt and went home, never to be seen again. Knowing Troy, he was going to have to (try) because he was professional in every aspect of the game, so you didn't expect him to just not show up and collect his checks. He was going to try and pitch because he's a competitor first and foremost.

I think in the next week or two, we may get a little pullback or reaction, maybe a 3 or 4 percent setback from the recent highs on the averages, just to digest the last phase of gains before we move higher in March and April.

It builds on the success we've had in recent years.

It certainly can't hurt, knowing that we have won there in the recent past. It's a tough place to play, though.
