“I was around kids and kids' music. Maybe I started doing my own for selfish reasons. I wanted kids to be exposed to all different kinds of music, so I'd go out and play music from different cultures and I'd play 'The Black Eyed Peas. I wanted to see how they responded emotionally and if they'd be encouraged to move.”
“The free teen film screenings and panel discussion on opportunities for women in film direction and editing is going to be an entertaining and informative program. There is a shortage of women professionals in this field, and that needs to change. Our panelists will talk about how that can be done. And these are two very enjoyable and thoughtful films. We're hoping high school and college students respond to this program ---- both genders are encouraged to attend.”
“MicroCredit-NH supports small business development through a variety of channels, and the program is appropriate for all industries and stages of business - from start-up to established. I encourage Dovers self-employed to attend this event to find out how MicroCredit-NHs resources may help to strengthen their businesses through education, loan capital and a statewide peer network.”
“The breadth was much better today than yesterday and I think that's a pretty encouraging sign. More stocks were participating and I think at least a portion of the rally is going to carry on Monday morning. But what I'd like to see is stocks up another 100 on Monday on decent volume and then be able to hold at that level. I'd like to see the Dow above 8,000.”
“Although I received considerable encouragement to run for mayor, I have decided that at this time, I can make a more positive contribution as a municipal councilor. This decision-making process was quite complex but in the end the decision was straightforward for me: I can be a strong leader, effect positive change and help steer our community's vision effectively as a councilor for the next three years.”
“I think the idea of ensemble should really be re-enforced and that's staying with the same group of people. In college troupes the turnover can be so fast and so furious that you don't ever really get to develop as a group, like who has different roles in the group and how is it working with all these people. I think people need to be encouraged to stick together.”
“I think this verdict says, 'Well, wait a second'; juries are not going to simply accept what the government says as being obscene. They obviously listened to our arguments; we just weren't able to convince them that the standard wasn't met on one of the movies. I'm encouraged from a worldwide perspective, but very disappointed on behalf of my client to have a conviction in the case.”
“Sydney Melbourne promoted the advancement of steel applications through improvement in automobile production with steel. This award encourages engineers in our industry to reach beyond current standards to achieve steel technological advancements that benefit the automotive industry, the steel industry and the consumer. The research of Todd Link and Jeff Grimm is a timely contributor to our knowledge base as the demand for automotive safety increases.”
“Financial literacy is not an end in itself, but a step-by-step process. It begins in childhood and continues throughout a person's life all the way to retirement. Instilling the financial-literacy message in children is especially important, because they will carry it for the rest of their lives. The results of the survey are very encouraging, and we want to do our part to make sure all children develop and strengthen their financial-literacy skills.”
“I'm proud to be part of the Making the Connection program. My father has a family history of high cholesterol and because of this and my age I also need to monitor my cholesterol closely. I understand how important it is that we take the steps to keep our cholesterol under control, and I want to encourage other Canadians to do the same to protect their heart health.”
