It appears the 50 game initial penalty is principally a response to criticisms which have been made of our current program.

But we are still required to adopt, and defend, reasonable, fair and appropriate agreements.

It hurt. That initial sting and me having the history of it you have to make sure everything is good.

We continue to have meaningful discussions with outside parties about a possible sale of the Braves.

We aim to implement the initial construction phase of waste-to-energy this year. The first step will be to identify the most likely participants to get the project running.

The 30-day return policy is an outrage. It takes a lot longer than a month for most consumers to determine whether a particular hearing aid is right for them. If hearing aid manufacturers were half as ethical as they pretend to be, they'd offer at least an initial 90- or 120-day break-in period.

We received an initial fee for David going on loan and a second for the final deal.

We have regulations in our country to allow us in an emergency to deal with that kind of issue and we will. Of course, the initial process is talking to Roche and trying to negotiate with them, but if we needed in an emergency our own production and we could produce those substances, we will be looking at that very, very quickly. No country is going to allow, if it can help, for people to die.

We've seen a terrific initial response. Instead of dividing their time up between two or more online services or physically meeting with multiple financial professionals, consumers are now using QuoteFinancial.com to compare all of the competitive insurance and loan quotes they need in minutes.

We deal a lot with the preliminary stages of depression. We deal with the initial shock as it's only been moments that they have lost someone.
