We're starting to let AOL members know about this opportunity now to strongly encourage them to improve their online experience with a better, faster Internet connection. AOL is committed to offering our members the best high-speed experience - not just faster dial-up but true broadband from a cable or DSL connection. We've seen in recent market tests that our members respond very strongly to the ability to more simply combine what they have from AOL with what they want from a broadband connection, and now we're going to deliver it from coast to coast.

We're seeing more signs of economic strength, so the recent drop provides a chance to buy.

We'll see what happens over the next six months, but I certainly wouldn't close any doors. It would have to come from him, but if he's still playing like he has in recent weeks, he has an enormous part to play. I said last year that I do not see a player on the training ground who is ready to pack in and there's nothing that's happened since which suggests that has changed.

The only fly in the ointment was that goal in the first half in one of their infrequent trips (in the Wizards' defensive end). There were a couple of decisions we needed to make better.

The onus of that task falls on the armed forces and the police force in East Timor and they haven't done a good job in recent times.

We have made a counter proposal and are awaiting a response from the company.

We've never been a big free-agency team because we don't believe that's the way to put a team together, exclusively. We believe that the draft will always be the main part of your team, but we also believe that you'll have to plug in the occasional free agent. In recent years, we haven't gone after the high-end market (players) because we've concentrated on keeping our own players, who may have been higher-end guys if they became free agents.

Luxury consumers' attitudes about the economy and their personal financial status have sea-sawed over the last six months, but ended 2005 with a strong upward trend. Significantly more luxury consumers feel their personal financial situation is better now than three months ago and that the country overall is better off.

Let's not forget the fact the recent boom that we've experienced has been attributable very much to the (New York) Stock Exchange, and that the main thing is to keep them in New York.

Secured cards can be helpful credit rebuilding tools for two reasons. First, because of the collateral, you can get them at a time when you're not likely to be approved for nonsecured cards. And as long as you maintain an on-time payment history, they can help you start to build a recent credit history that's fairly pristine.

Secretary Rumsfeld takes the extraordinary position in his brief that ordering torture was 'within the scope of his employment' as Secretary of Defense.

Softbank's Internet-focused strategy in recent years has served its shareholders well, ... We believe we have just scratched the surface of the opportunities afforded by the Internet.

Most of the time, your risk management works.

We ended up where banks couldn't liquidate their risk, and the system tended to freeze up.

Missouri is still in play, partly given the recent trends showing Bush losing momentum nationally and in battleground states.
