It's still meaningful -- it's a sector that accounts for a lot of swings in activity.

Efforts to restrain growth in mandatory spending are vital - not just for our near-term deficit reduction efforts - but especially for the long term.

No plausible amount of spending cuts in discretionary accounts or tax increases could possibly solve this problem.

The bill passed by the House and Senate will increase the use of energy efficiency technologies to extend our nation's energy supplies. But, the bill falls far short of making energy efficiency a cornerstone of U.S. energy policy. Most alarming is the bill's failure to curtail our growing and dangerous oil addiction in the transportation sector, which accounts for two-thirds of total U.S. oil use.

Symbian's history and pedigree has always been around the mobile phone, ... Other operating systems have migrated from a desk top world where there has been LAN connectivity for sometime. Creating WLAN technology for Symbian OS meant we had to create a number of new components, in the areas of network discovery and security.

Inform the companies in writing and call them as well. Tell them you want the accounts closed and that you are not responsible for charges from that point, period.

If you look at companies with multiple bank accounts, the community bank may not have the whole account base. The bank can win that base by offering remote deposit capture.

If the money is coming in the front door at 100 miles per hour, and going out the back door at 110 miles per hour, that's not a good thing. Businesses don't fail because they are unprofitable; they fail because they get crushed on the accounts receivable side.

Clearly, people are anticipating recovery. There's pretty consistent selling from a variety of accounts and very little buying.

Chinese people say Marco Polo brought noodles from China back to Italy and Italians say they had noodles before that. All this has been based on documentary material, on personal accounts and menus. But we've been unable to find any actual material until now.

You can't use private accounts to make up the Social Security shortfall; the hole is just too deep.

The major attraction of personal or private accounts is that they can be constructed to be truly segregated from the unified budget,

The holy grail is to always have perfectly uniform services from anywhere to anywhere. Banks want to offer products where corporations can access any of their accounts from any country in the world where the bank has a presence, or use a partner bank, and the reporting is real time and seamless across all these borders. What banks are doing is building a veneer over this fragmentation. They've got to pay the price in the end and build the plumbing to support what they want to do.

The Hansen software will be used by all 78 municipalities on the island, including nine regional offices and the main central office in San Juan, which will make this Hansen's largest billing and tax customer with 1.2 million accounts billed per cycle.

The e-Gold accounts may have been set up using a false ID.

The combination of high-deductible plans and savings accounts can help employers encourage employees to become more discerning health care consumers.
