We're paying $44.95 for the exact same package, and it's pretty obvious that Vermillion costumers are subsidizing Yankton. As a council, I wish we could look at anything possible to correct that situation, even if we have to encourage people going on satellite. Also, in four years, I know it's over a 30 percent increase. How can you justify a 30 percent increase in Vermillion rates in four years?

Every major power always seeks to justify its action on moral grounds. Such behaviour is almost as old as the hills.

Concern has mounted progressively, and events in recent weeks justify that concern.

Customers can expand from there, but they can justify their investment with this.

Cover stories are an almost inevitable part of every improper relationship between two human beings, ...

Second, they have invoked their exaggerated loss estimates to promote legislation allowing these insurers to limit how much compensation they have to pay out to victims of medical negligence.

When we were in conversation with Bravo, they were like, 'Look, the show is good,' we got the best reviews of any show on television, and they said, 'But there's a certain number,' and they showed us the number and I'm not a TV guy, but they said, 'Look, this number, no matter what, we can't bring the show back. ...

No status right now. It's not something I said I'd even consider until after the (TCU) game. It's after the game and I haven't seen him.
