We're becoming more of a nursery county over time.

Simonton is a perfect complement to Fortune's home and hardware business. Advantages include distribution synergies, cross-selling opportunities and strengthening of Fortune's leadership in home improvement.

Certainly for areas like Sonoma, Mendocino and Napa counties, vineyards are our largest group that is requesting depredation permits.

If a community decides that they want that farmland in perpetuity . . . there'd better a strong desire on the part of the community to subsidize that farming operation. Somebody's going to have to pay fair-market value for that property.

If that trend continues, it could be damaging to seasonal growers and could affect their ability to harvest.

This really spearheads them into the conventional retail side of the business, in a big way.

Even those elderly people who did modest amounts of gentle exercise, such as walking for 15 minutes three times a week, appeared to benefit. Based on these findings, we can advise older people to 'use it even after you start to lose it,' because exercise may slow the progression of age-related problems in thinking.

The movement hasn't caught fire. Part of the reason that Americans are ambivalent is they still feel it's very important to get this (the war) right, and don't want to completely withdraw support. ... They're at the point of ambivalence rather than opposition.

It's still bear habitat and other bears will move into that area. Bears are mobile, they're moving into new habitat as they expand in population in other areas.

It's important to farmers because we will be looking at what can be done to have that balance between land-use regulations and making it so farmers can continue to thrive in San Diego County. The resulting plan could be one of the best things to come in 2006.

It (the activism) has been so subdued lately. What will be interesting is to see what happens on March 18 or March 19 and if the demonstrators come off as mainstream, if they are moms and dads, if they are from middle America, or if they come off as being on the fringes.

In the end, what will force the change to voice over IP is the need for a flexible infrastructure. Applications are a part of it -- but only a part.

I haven't heard a thing that there's an impact from the boycott other than the usual number of workers gone on a Monday.

The group that benefited most were the people who were frailest at the start of the study. Based on these findings, we can advise older people to 'use it even after you start lose it' because exercise may slow the progression of age-related problems in thinking.
