Following the completion of the Blackstone transaction, we will have sold 25 assets for $586 million since the beginning of 2005. This group of 25 properties contributed over $30 million in adjusted EBITDA2 for the full year 2005. These sales essentially complete our asset disposition program, with only six properties remaining for disposition that are expected to generate approximately $70 million in proceeds. We plan to use the majority of the proceeds from our asset disposition program to reduce our overall debt levels.

It's like making figures out of balloons. You can fill a balloon with air and shape it to be a pretzel, a donut or a hot dog. Each will have a different moment of inertia and a different center of gravity. By changing the shape of the balloon, you change the physical properties of the balloon.

It is time to move on. House prices won't rise and the economy won't fully engage until more distressed properties are resolved and put back into ordinary use.

Its vast distribution channels offer us a leg-up in our strategy to expose our hotel properties to a broad customer base,

As previously noted, we view 2006 as a transition year. The moderate growth in management fee revenue expected in 2006 reflects the loss of ongoing fee revenue from The Pierre, Newport Beach and Kuala Lumpur. As we look beyond 2006, we expect all elements of our growth program to make a solid contribution to earnings, including strong fee improvements from existing hotels (in particular those completing renovation programs), increased fees from recently opened hotels as they stabilize and the continued addition of exciting new Four Seasons properties around the world.

It's socially irresponsible. You really condemn your community to properties that don't offer much beyond machines.... High tax rates really aren't good for anyone in the long run because they grind everything but gambling out of the equation.

That's really good pricing for a nearly new property, compared to comparable 10- to 15-year-old properties for sale in the area.

Eventually it will go up and around and behind the properties and this trail will actually go all the way up the ravine.

As analytical pharmacologists, what we are allowed to see of a new molecule's properties is totally dependent on the techniques of bioassay we use.

This means that each country, in addition to the general properties common to the whole world, also has its own specific properties.

They focused more on the next great development and less on continuing to run the properties they had and (getting) the full values out of those properties.

There is no total fire ban in place today, despite the extreme weather conditions we saw a couple of days ago. Blazes are controlled and no properties are directly under threat.

It was easy enough to tell us about the physical properties of the landscape, but they needed to find a way to describe both the terror and the pleasure of the vastness. There's an importance to the psychological effect the landscape produces, and that's what they were challenged to describe.

With interest rates rising and demand for new home ownership slowing, it is likely that stronger demand for rental properties will push rental rates up at a higher pace.

You have to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. A lot of times, people don't do that -- but the properties could be really different, the lift tickets might cover different areas, and the shuttle service might not be as good.

We went from an average eight to 10 properties a week in Spain to selling one to two a month and it's gearing up to those levels (8 to 10) now with Turkey.

We are using the other units in the building as income properties to support the cost of the new building.

It is rare to have the opportunity to acquire a set of properties with the fit that we see here in the U.K. Central North Sea and Norway.

It is strange that we know so little about the properties of numbers. They are our handiwork, yet they baffle us; we can fathom only a few of their intricacies. Having defined their attributes and prescribed their behavior, we are hard pressed to perceive the implications of our formulas.

We cannot even predict what kinds of emergent properties would appear when animals begin interacting as part of a brain-net. In theory, you could imagine that a combination of brains could provide solutions that individual brains cannot achieve by themselves.

We can now use animals to show us things like the thermal properties and cooling rates of the ocean and the structure of the water column, and they can often get valuable data that would be hard to collect by other means.

This temperature tells us something very fundamental about the properties of dark matter.

This is why we really emphasize people getting at least a yearlong lease. Month-to-month is dangerous, especially in Florida, because so many rental properties are being converted into condominiums. That reality can really surprise renters and hit them hard.

They're going after Web properties that mirror the demographic of the viewer of 'The OC' ... (following) the activities of what those same consumers do online, ... buy.

I am proud of our team members in the Southern markets for overcoming significant challenges both personally and professionally in order to get our properties open and operating.

I don't believe in giving private properties to someone else for private use to make money off of it.

Government does have the right to take properties under eminent domain with caution and responsibility. In this case the tenant had gone out of business and abandoned the property. It is not right for them to get money because they breached the lease.

Because it's very hard to get gas to behave the same way twice, it argues strongly that these frequencies are being anchored by the black hole's mass and spin, fundamental properties of the black hole itself.

The market has picked up quickly this year. Properties are selling more quickly and stock levels are declining.

All the properties we are developing are waterfront properties. The single-family component is something the (waterfront) market doesn't seem to provide for right now.

The Local 100 executive board has voted overwhelmingly to extend strike action to all MTA properties immediately.

Physicists have determined that even the most solid and heavy mass of matter we see is mostly empty space. But at the submicroscopic level, specks of matter scattered through a vast emptiness have such incredible density and weight, and are linked to one another by such powerful forces, that together they produce all the properties of concrete, cast iron and solid rock. In much the same way, specks of knowledge are scattered through a vast emptiness of ignorance, and everything depends upon how solid the individual specks of knowledge are, and on how powerfully linked and coordinated they are with one another.
