New Look has gone well since going private, although it could be argued that perhaps it is doing rather too much at once.

New Haven is becoming less and less affordable to live in, and although the city is cleaning up neighborhoods, we are losing a portion of the community in the process,

Obviously the timing is unfortunate. Although let's face it, there's no such thing as a good time to get injured. But what can you do? There's no point dwelling on your bad luck, or whatever.

Obviously, the timing is unfortunate. Although let's face it, there's no such thing as a good time to get injured. But what can you do? I'm not dwelling on my bad luck. All I have to do now is focus on getting better, so I'm out of action for not a day longer than I have to be.

Right now, I've recommended Boeing ( BA : Research , Estimates ) for the last couple of months. I did downgrade that about two weeks on the price move. I still think the stocks continue to perform however, although I think the gains will be modest from here in the near term.

New vehicle demand in the US is bound to peak out this year, which may slow output for Japanese (automobile) makers, although to a much lesser extent than US makers.

On the mass communication level, the notion of keeping secrets has been devalued. One hundred years ago, if someone said, 'damn,' people would take notice. Now, you can say almost anything.

But every time a secret is revealed, although there's some punch to it, we're whittling away at some of the psychological value of the secret.

One of the main secrets to staying young is staying healthy. I've sometimes had to suppress a smile when some young lady, who has obviously not taken care of herself through diet or exercise, says admiringly, 'Ooh, I hope I look as good as you do when I'm your age!' Although it's intended to be complimentary, it's actually a back-hander.

One of the issues that always comes up is how can we protect our children better, what type of changes if any need to be made. Although I can say that I have been doing this work for 13 years, and we have never had an incident like this.

One of the interesting things I'll tell you is although their hands are different colors, but they teach their kids well.

I wouldn't call any of them stars, although some are better known than others. It's more about the traditions than it is the artists. But that being said, we do try to find the absolute best exponent we can find.

I would regard today as positive, although we're clearly not out of the woods yet.

I would have to say that the modern Sam Goody store is the epitome of what has gone wrong in the music retail world. It doesn't surprise me that this has happened, although I am not happy about it.

I guess if there's any surprise it's that I would have thought exports would have grown a little more than they did. But in the second quarter everyone else had weaker economies, although more recent signs are that things abroad are picking up. So maybe June was too soon to look for an increase.

I grew up with a single mother, and although we didn't have a lot of money, she cared a great deal about what we ate. We were the original health-food family. We shopped at what were called health-food stores before Whole Foods - everything came from bins.

I don't even like to talk about this business about an ethnic and racial balancing act. I think it's a bunch of hokum.

They want to know if I will do a good job.

I don't endorse it, although I don't oppose it. It's each student's choice.

I hope that this decision will not only benefit me, but the team as well.

Cash flow is resilient, and has been some years. There's scope for operators to reduce shareholder returns if they need to, although we don't think they will do that.

Certainly, although this is not good news for the central Aroostook County economy because the jobs at MBNA obviously were good jobs and very important to our overall employment picture, I'm not at all discouraged about the possibility of a different type of operation finding that facility suitable for call center usage if the intent of Bank of America is to dispose of the facilities.

I have also always had a fascination with the St. Louis teams; the Cardinals for their Gashouse Gang and classic uniform logos, and of course the Browns for just being the Browns and for Pete Gray.

I would hope he would go down there and pitch right from the get-go and put a little heat on us up here.

I feel good about the win and although it brought to an end the 2005 season it was our first game and win in 2006 and we're excited about that.

I feel equally at home in large or small bands. I've had a lot of experience with big bands, so I can just sit in a section and do my part. Although I like small bands better. There's more freedom - especially if you're the leader. You can play the tune you want and the tempo you want.

Great shot - although I don't think De Rosario even knew where he was hitting it, ... He just struck it and what a goal. It's going to take the life out of any team. But we have to respond better. We can't just expect things to get better because we're playing in the Home Depot Center.

Growing up in Niagara Falls, Ontario, I took classes as a young girl and became very serious about ballet, and also performed with a local company, although it wasn't a professional company.
