Clusters Quotes
The super star clusters hidden within these super nebulae are probably a lot like globular clusters in our own Milky Way, only younger, and they can contain up to a million young stars. The mystery is why our own Milky Way no longer forms globular star clusters and hasn't for 10 billion years. These galaxies still can. We want to know why. This is star formation on steroids.

Backed Quotes
Spending $5 billion a year on tobacco cessation for 25 years would profoundly improve the health of Americans, ... This is why it is such a tragedy that the Justice Department backed away from their original cessation remedy.

It's the exhibitors who have a concern.

Addition Quotes
During the fourth quarter we completed a series of financing initiatives designed to improve our liquidity. We completed a NT$1.8 billion (approximately $54 million) 5-year secured term loan with a group of Taiwanese lenders, and we replaced our $30 million secured revolving credit facility with a new $100 million senior secured revolver that is available through November 2009. In addition our chairman, James Kim, and members of his family, subscribed to an offering of $100 million of 6.25% convertible subordinated notes due 2013, the proceeds of which were used to repurchase $100 million of 5.75% convertible notes due June 1, 2006.

Crises Quotes
As fears about the energy and environmental crises reach a fever pitch, we're all searching for solutions. And one possibility is that we could fix everything if we'd just shrink our population back down to about 2 billion people - which would put us roughly where we were at 80 years ago.
