Air Quotes
Last year Matthew was our most improved shooter. If he picks it up at the beginning of the season and continues down that path, he'll be tough to beat. During Thomas's very first college match he set a new school record in air rifle. We've changed his positions a little bit and he has become really defined. Bill has become a much better shooter over time, improving immensely. At his new skill level, he can really challenge our other veterans, and that speaks really well for the level of talent that we have on this team.

Achieved Quotes
Our fourth quarter results demonstrate our continuing progress in improving our financial results.

It was also the third consecutive quarter of earnings growth.

Approved Quotes
The 7.7 percent increase in the dividend approved by the board today reflects the improved financial results we recorded in 2005 as well as an improving cash flow position following completion of a significant construction program that included the $450 million, 875 megawatt Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which was completed in May 2004, and the $275 million Lake Murray back-up dam, which was completed in June 2005. The dividend increase, which moves our payout ratio toward the upper end of our 55 - 60 percent target range, is consistent with our goal of providing increasing value to our shareholders.

This will enable them to support our regional vice presidents in standardizing and unifying our key operating processes, improving our cost structure and our overall efficiency levels.
