We're expanding our niche in student housing properties in the Western United States and are looking to buy more large-scale multifamily and student apartment housing properties of 200 or more units.

We're still open. It's 4:35 (p.m.), and I'm here to answer the phone.

Women pay more attention to that friendliness vs. hostility quality, and are more concerned when it's out of line than are men. Men are more interested in issues of control in their lives.

We didn't view this as a victory or a loss. We saw it as a positive step toward continuing our working relationships with our unions so we can restore the company to profitability.

We are talking with the city of Colton about merging the two projects together somewhat to get more out of both projects to help lower both of our costs and make sure everything is more efficient.

Low prices are king these days. But there are things that differentiate us.

Oh yeah. That's a corner- stone of the agreement.

My hat's off to my kids. We've played a brutal schedule. It's one of those years where it's been a youth movement.

If we come up with information that this is not the right time, there is time to halt the process.

I?d like to get this person ID?d. I want to find out what they were doing in a parking garage.

Certainly a bad fight or a bad week of fights is not going to damage your heart health. We're talking about something that needs to be present over many years.

Foster is a tough little guard. She's the motor of our team.

He don't look 16 to me. He looks like a grown man.

There is an alternative, and that's just being assertive.

The only thing that could hurt us would be some sort of quick call-up, without any warnings. Nowadays, reservists get some advance notice.

I threw (the minivan) into park and ran after him and grabbed him.

I think this will end up in some legal problem.

Physicians are providing a service, so it's up to them to provide an environment that's welcoming and comforting, not dull and depressing.

(Spring break) is getting to be another Christmas.

That decision is serving us well just a few weeks later.

My tools, my equipment, my business were all going down the road without me.

Literally anywhere from 75,000 to 90,000 of our people could be sent home on emergency leave without pay,

It doesn't make it more efficient for the person requesting the information. It makes it more efficient for the government agency, who can send them somewhere else to get the information. . . . If there is an opportunity to abuse it, we usually see it abused.

I think G-MU got into our heads a little bit. I thought we came out with some good intensity to start the second half. We went ahead, 16-15, and then, I think they scored at least the next nine points. Our intensity stayed the same and their intensity went up. When they got the lead, we just never came back. We just started getting long faces.

That's their type of game. We're able to create some turnovers, get some loose balls and make some plays in transition and that's where we're at our best.

We have a lot of strength in our finance department, and I'm sure we will be looking at all of our possibilities.

We want to be the first team to beat them.

We've been running load factors that are in the high 80s, and (Sunday) would be no exception. So there's relatively few seats out there for folks to chase. As this goes on, if it does, we might look at something else.

We don't pay any attention to that ranking. There are 15-or-so teams in the state that are about even.

We clearly started doing more toward the end of last year.

We put the ball in play and put a little pressure on them. They made a couple of errors here and there and we hit a couple of shots pretty hard.

We're not ready to cede those customers to another airline that already has 97% of the business at this airport.

Try to think of how to do it in a way that doesn't involve anger and mean statements. And try to find ways to do it that involve compromise and cooperation rather than control.

We've got to be ready to shoot more. I think this is probably the lowest number of shots we've taken this year. I know we didn't shoot very good, but we didn't take many shots, either.

The recovery there is certainly going to be much more difficult than in the enterprise space. We don't expect the service provider spending to really break out again until 2004.

Those seats were indeed thinner than the ones they replaced, allowing more knee and legroom.

This was a very collaborative process from the start and went as smoothly as possible. Our pilots are pleased with the outcome which is reflected in the strong vote results.

We got a couple of breaks and we made some free throws. With starter Amanda (Smith) fouled out, her teammates stepped up. I am proud of them.

We've provided for our employees to still be going on with their lives.

We were pressing and she slid in front of a girl, but she fell backward and knocked her head on the floor. She knocked herself out.

We went down Doctors Lake Boulevard. We turned east on Kingsley, left on Park and ran through that traffic light. The whole time I was laying on my horn, telling people to get out the way.

We improved so much on defense from Week 1, ... We are looking for a breakout week this week against a much-improved Colonial squad.

We went looking for the fact that different aspects of the marriage might be important to men's and women's heart health, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was so clear.

Everybody got going. When everybody gets going like that, day-in and day-out, we're going to be all right.

It would have been impossible to meet all the demand.

It was an extremely isolated and rare incident. We changed both our training and our procedures as a result of the situation to make sure people followed the procedure to avoid this happening.

Thank God for volunteers. There ain't been no government.

seems so basic, but unless you require it, there will be that small minority that chooses not to for whatever reason.

People tend to pass judgment on teenagers too quickly.

People get heart disease for lots of reasons.

They've been losing close games so we knew this wouldn't be an easy win. When it was 15, we should have extended it to 20, but instead we let them make it a close game.

They surprised me the way they trapped off the ball screens.

All of our flights in and out of New Orleans are canceled through noon (today). And that could easily get pushed into later in the week.

American's operations are virtually normal today as the pilots' sick list continues to shrink.

There were pretty strong winds, so the FAA instituted ground delays, which slowed down the entire air-traffic control system for New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and so forth. Because of that, we are running behind. The good news is ... we have enough seats on the average flight to put people onto other flights and thin the schedule.

It's a totally different game when you're up by a large amount of runs. (The pitchers) can just go up and throw strikes and not have to worry about the little aspects of the game.

It is quite possible that number could go higher.

It's one of the weirdest cases I've ever heard.

It's going to happen, we just have to have control over managing the growth.

It's hard to track people's reasoning, ... It's not like we're saying, 'Hello, customer, are you booking with us today because you don't want to fly with Northwest?'

Its passage would lead to a better business model for New York racing, and thus strengthen the upcoming bids for the current NYRA franchise. Most importantly of all, this legislation would increase purses, improve breeding farm economics, and help assure the future viability of the industry in New York.

It's contagious. One guy starts it and seems like it doesn't end. It's a fun time when everyone is hitting.

They (churches) represent a tremendous amount of money (invested).

They were missing shots. We're a transition team, so you'll see big leads like that when everybody's hitting.

The key thing about this camera is that you can have it with you whenever you need it. It's no heavier than a pager; you just clip it on your belt and you're ready to roll.

I have never received an award or honor that will be more cherished than this because it was given by my peers. The former winners are a distinguished collection of some of the finest sports writers in American history. To be included in that group is humbling and overwhelming. I hope that my future work will prove that I am indeed worthy. I will strive to live up to the honor.

In the social arena you have funds that follow very strict screens and funds that use their shares to push for change.

In the school system, we will always have a captive audience.

If you were concerned about men's heart health, you would ask couples to find ways to talk about disagreements without trying to control each other. If you were concerned about women's heart health, you would encourage couples to find ways to have disagreements that weren't hostile.

Being loved makes teenagers feel secure and safe in an unsafe world.

The enterprise market is showing some signs of beginning to bounce back as the general economy begins to improve.

A low-quality relationship is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

The current business structure is 50 years old, and not surprisingly needs updating. Balancing the needs of racing as a sport and racing as a business will be of critical importance. We think our proposed legislation is a good first step in that direction.

All of this is simply moving toward working toward returning to profitability. We can serve LaGuardia out of the Houston market, the bigger market, very easily out of D/FW using (American) Eagle or out of Intercontinental.
