Making it easier for people to travel throughout the metropolitan region includes giving them confidence about knowing how to use mass transit.

OK. Think real person; confident, open, honest, informal, down to earth, approachable, believable, not stuffy, warm, soothing, inviting tone of voice. Play with your regional accent. You're a person, not a machine - it's you, Martine Brown, a person, which is why we want a regional accent.

Simply put, the breadth and depth of the enterprise is greater than the name Yellow Roadway conveys. We now operate in over 70 countries around the world and our services have expanded to encompass logistics as well as global, national and regional transportation. Our new name, YRC Worldwide, better reflects the reality of what our enterprise is today. Our aspirations for the future remain consistent with our core purpose: Making global commerce work by connecting people, places and information.

She ran well and had a good kick at the end, which tells me and tells her than she can run a little faster. We got to taste what regional will be like.

Mr. de Soto's contacts with regional leaders, while not as complete as would have been desirable, nevertheless confirmed my concern that the new situation which had emerged following the developments of May, compounding as it does the longstanding causes of friction between India and Pakistan, may have serious implications for peace and security in the region and beyond,

Neoconservatism in all its pomp conceived - in the Project for a New American Century - that, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world could be remade in the American image, that the previous bipolar world could be replaced by a unipolar one in which the U.S. was the dominant arbiter of global and regional affairs.

One possibility to resolve the issue could be the establishment of a regional consortium on fuel cycle development.

New Hampshire's planning system is very locally oriented, so regional planning doesn't have a tremendous amount of impact on land decisions.

Obviously, under this approach, the scope for mergers would be far greater in metropolitan areas than regional areas, where there are many markets that would already be close to, or at, this threshold,

Obviously, there are not enough Japanese children in each county in eastern North Carolina for all of us to have individual schools. Using a regional approach enables us to provide that degree of education so that when they're back in their country, they're even with all their classmates.

The Adams County District 12 project would not have been as successful without Pauline's leadership and significant personal contribution to EPA's National Clean Diesel Campaign.

Philip is the team to beat in the conference. They are always strong in numbers and have some talented girls. New Underwood will be right there with them as they have some great talent. It will be an interesting regional meet.

Phil has worked on energy issues for 20 years at both the state and federal levels, and he knows the different regional issues.

One thing I do know. Is that what's happened since November really doesn't mean a whole lot now. Everybody's 0-0 and capable of putting a couple of good games together and contending for the regional championship.

Nick Haines broke his finger. Hunter Feinberg had a strained back. He got taken down over here in the middle of the field. Not what you want going into the regional final.

Nobody is really giving us credit for being able to win the game. But I think we've played a pretty tough schedule this year. I think the reason there are so many upsets in the sectional and regional is because it comes down to who wants it more. It comes down to who hits the big shot, who locks down and plays defense. Anyone can win.

New York and Connecticut belong to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative to cut carbon emissions, and New York City has been a leader in energy efficiency.

NBAA does a wonderful job throughout the world. But you need something like this on a regional basis.

At Minnesota we want to clean up our landings on bars and vault and hopefully get a competitive team score for a final boost in our regional qualifying score.

If we don't go to Omaha, we failed and that's the bottom line. All this regional stuff, that's great, (but) let's just get hot at the end and go to Omaha.

If we had been using the old system, we would be regional champs. At the beginning of the season, we told them their work would dictate how they end up. This solidifies the work the kids did early in the year.

From a regional standpoint, these guys support Sacramento on a year-round basis,

Future enhancements include regional maps and salon rankings, ... There is nothing in the DC area that provides the same free service.

I don't think public appearances or getting involved in regional activities like this do much to help the careers of celebrities. I don't know if this would bring any extra value to him as a celebrity.

With millions of people walking through the National Museum of the American Indian, there is a solid vehicle at the national level to expose people to Indian arts and crafts.
