This time of year, corporate use of jets tapers off because there aren't board meetings or conventions.

What happened was a mistake, and he owned up to it. And for this to be pulled from him is very disappointing.

We tend to assume that data is either private or public, either owned by one person or shared by many. In fact there's more to it than that, above and beyond the upsetting reality that private data is now anything but.

You go back and you read your Constitution. You read your Declaration of Independence. And you will see that the only people who could decide these freedoms were white males who owned property, and all the rest of us were excluded.

Viking women, if they were left behind, were ruling their town. They were earls in their own right; they owned land in their own right. They could divorce their husbands if they wanted to. All of those wonderful allowances that were made for women in the Viking culture weren't really part of the Christian culture at the time.

We lived on our land as long as we can remember. The land was owned by our tribe as far back as memory of men goes.

I spent months digging through our archives looking for unique photos of Glacier National Park. With the help of former editor Brian Kennedy and Patsi Morton (Ruder's daughter) I was able to come up with a truly unique book. Some of these gems haven't seen print in 60 years. Some were never published at all. This book was a lot of fun to put together. About half of the photos in the book are from the Ruder era, which only makes sense, since Ruder, the founder of the Hungry Horse News owned the newspaper for more than half of its 60 years.

I shudder to think that these people are doing their stock portfolios or electronic banking or buying things with credit cards on their computer over the Internet while their computer security has been completely compromised and are completely owned by these hackers, ... These people have something bad in their machines and they probably don't even realize it.

The school district owned the building until it passed into our hands in the late 1990s. This building is a third in a series of schools at this location. The first was a log school built in 1772.

I've owned a couple of horses prior to Flashy Bull, but he's by far the best one. Did I ever think I'd be involved with a Kentucky Derby contender? It's something you hope for but can't really expect.

The surge in men's apparel sales came from some of the most unexpected places, such as young men buying a suit. Teens and young adult men have finally 'discovered the suit.' When exploring that further, NPD found that young men never owned a suit, never wore a suit and never saw their father in a suit - yet, they have migrated towards dressing up to be 'cool.' We are seeing a shift in the younger generation reaching their image through grooming and dressing up.

The thing I like about these kinds of boats is that you can get them in extremely shallow water, which is a big plus when you're going out to the islands around here. And the maneuverability is a big plus. It handles like a big Jet Ski. I've lived in Florida since I was 3 and owned a lot of boats, but this is one of the best to have in this part of Florida.

I've always been, since I was fairly young, I've been interested in motorcycles and have owned them and ridden them and raced them, things like that.

People think they know Tom Brady. But he is better and tougher than people understand. He's amazing. Since I've been involved in the team, I don't think there is anyone who has played with more difficulty with pain and potential for injuries. He pushes it to the end. I've never seen anyone as physically tough as he is since we've owned the team. That's why he's such a great leader.

This Christmas, I presented my wife with a new Mac mini... I am, as you might know, one of the more prominent Windows-based writers on the Web. This simple fact makes the notion that I'd buy a Mac for my wife seems like an April Fools joke, I know. But the truth is, I've owned one or more Macs since summer 2005, and I'm a big fan of Mac OS X, albeit one who is perhaps more honest about the system's shortcomings than the typical Mac fanatic. That said, Apple's computer systems are viable for a wide range of users, including graphic artists, photographers, and other creative types. And a truly simple system like the Mac mini is perfect for the mass market, those people who simply need email, Web access, and word processing.

This acquisition allows us to marry our on-air branded content with compelling new interactive functionality. From the 'Today Show' to 'Project Runway' to 'The Biggest Loser' to all the health & medical and lifestyles segments we do every day on every one of our owned and operated television stations, we will now be able to create a deeper, richer experience around our content for consumers across all emerging platforms.

They took a chance to take a company owned by Comcast. That might end up being a very good thing ... Comcast can promote it -- on its own cable systems -- on ESPN, on Fox Sports Net. Let's see if they do so. That'll say how committed they are.

They seem to have forgotten that, and are back saying the only purpose of P2P networks is for illegal trading of owned goods. We claim part of the reason for P2P is for legal trading of what ought to be in public domain. And what is in public domain in many cases.

As privately held companies continue to escalate their activity in areas that were once considered the domain of large publicly owned companies, they have increased their exposure to potentially costly liability-related lawsuits, as well as to crime events such as workplace fraud and extortion.

It's a Super Bowl ring from one of the most prominent teams ever that was owned by a famous personality who also is a great guy. I wish I could've sold it, but given the fact that (Kramer) claims he never sold it and that it was stolen, we're going to take the high road.

It's a beautiful car. If I owned this car, I wouldn't drive it.

It was bad. We flew commercial flights, and we'd fly the day of the game to play doubleheaders. Before he bought it, we were just in limbo. We didn't know who was going to be the owner. All of a sudden he jumped up and bought it in '79. He brought a class to it. He changed our environment, the way we were perceived because we were owned by credit companies. He changed it to a first-class organization.

It's a county rival. Every time we've played, it's been a big game ? it goes back years and years and years. They've kinda owned us the last few outings, so it was a big win for us.

It's actually a city owned property and is actually adjacent to the city electric where this individual works.

It's a double blow to fans in publicly owned cities. You're not only taking away baseball but you're making them pay taxes for stadiums sitting empty.

It's a question of how long you've owned it. If you've owned it from 1997 levels, maybe you own from $30 a share post splits. And if that's the case, you want to take a look at how much money did I have invested in Microsoft two, three, or four years ago, how much money do I have invested in Microsoft now, and maybe pare it back a little due to the uncertainty.

It's been a process, over the last couple of years. Things have changed. The atmosphere at BASS has changed. The culture over there has changed. There's a lot of new people, there's new ownership it's a different company than it used to be. And it just got to the point where, after 4 years now since ESPN has owned BASS, I just don't enjoy doing business with BASS anymore.

It's owned by home folks, and the people who shop, loaf and eat here are home folks,

Doing it that way makes things cleaner so the county or city or some governmental agency would actually own the land. That would be prime real estate. But the stadium would be owned privately. Unlike what we were proposing before, we are not proposing that any of the public funding go towards stadium construction.

The notion that because people have always received aid money that they'll get money needs to end. The only way to have sustainable programs is to have programs that are wholly owned in terms of management personnel at the local level.

The obvious conflict is the interest of the business over the interest of the patient. A doctor should not be owned by a corporation that can dictate the standards by which he practices. He is making decisions about your health and needs free rein to make the best choices for you.

It's not a good thing. This is an over-30-year business, and for the first time, I'm extremely concerned. I've worked very hard, put a lot of my own money into this building (which is owned by someone else), put in a lot of improvements myself, and we're very, very, very nervous about what could happen to us tomorrow.

Eighty one out of the 99 lots are owned by the project.

Eighty-five to ninety percent of our nation's critical infrastructure systems are owned by the private sector.

That has become a significant issue to worry about in many families, since that custodian account is owned by the child,

Syria was guided, in the time of Assad, not like a country, but like a farm -- it's owned by someone and he has a 100 percent free hand to do whatever he wants, like the owner of a farm.

Sunday, that was our "fun day". After Sunday school a group of boys that lived around Purdy, would meet at my house, nearly all owned saddle horses.

The use of small suppliers and those owned by minorities and women is an important way to promote competition and drive down the cost of healthcare for everyone. We feel it's important to share the knowledge our members have developed as they have worked with Premier in this important area.
