M dwarf stars dominate the stellar population in the solar neighborhood, and so are attractive targets for searching for habitable planets. The models show that gas-giant planets are indeed likely to form?at distances sufficiently large enough to permit the later formation of habitable, terrestrial planets.

My impression is the US government shares some of those feelings about Microsoft. The fact that it is closed source and they are at the mercy of such a large and dominant vendor such as Microsoft would seem to be a national security risk.

No county has a 2005 deviation greater than its 1988 deviation, a year that was the worst for many counties. However, deviations for some counties in 2005 are large and in the 'second tier' of yield loses.

One-and-7 obviously isn't the way you want to start. But the (Dodgers) team I managed last year started 12-2 and we won 71 games. So it's not a large enough sample size of games. It doesn't mean this is the kind of team we're going to be for the next six months.

My first horror film was - well, I don't know. 'Bless the Child' is sort of genre, but 'May' was such a cult hit that after that, I just started getting offers for horror. I think I got a little bit pigeonholed in it right off of 'May' because there was just such a large response to that film.

My father had owned a ranch when he was younger, in Montana, and he remembered riding his horse across the prairie and seeing some large bones sticking out of the ground. He was enough of a geologist, being a sand and gravel man, to have a pretty good notion that they were dinosaur bones.

Now, too many ships were being lost like that, ... because they were lost, like that. But with the highly profitable American colonies waiting to be exploited, this was just the time for investors to be sinking their money into transatlantic transportation that wasn't sinking.

Now that the market has made a tremendous upward move and the large cap stocks are at their highs, more people are looking at smaller companies for some better values.

Now that you have some third-quarter earnings coming out that might be pretty good with great visibility, you might see a little bit of move back toward the large caps.

Obviously the seeding for the National tournament is a big deal. These games are going to have a large impact on us if we drop all the way to a No. 10 seed or all the way back up to a two or three seed. Michigan-Dearborn is in our league so they're going to be big games. Plus we're going to see all these teams at Nationals, so we are going to have to come out strong.

Obviously a fraud of this magnitude came as a real shock. It exposed a weakness in one of our control systems and highlighted the risk that all institutions face when the number of digits in our currency grows to such large levels. We have certainly learned from this incident and those lessons will make Cabs even stronger.

Obviously, 15-year-olds seeking learner permits account for a large number of the people who come to the (driver's license) stations each day.

At this time, this is just a pilot project, but results of the initial round of testing are encouraging.

Nothing in our evolutionary history specifically prepared us to live in large societies. Almost everything about the way culture works does.

Right now, it takes a large company employing hundreds of really smart people to support Internet services. Our goal with this center is to develop technology that eliminates the need for such a large organization, opening up innovation opportunities for small groups or even individual entrepreneurs.

Aruba's new additions to the Mobile Edge portfolio meet all of these needs.

I wouldn't call it a large response at this point. But it's been increasing.
