Even though 2005 was the Company's second-best level of net income and EPS, the effects from various operational issues that arose throughout the year at our US Argo facility hurt the bottom line. However, the year had several important positives, with our South American business posting its best year ever for sales and operating income and our Asia/Africa segment continuing its recovery to near-record sales and profit levels. We also strengthened our balance sheet and achieved record operating cash flow.

Most card users -- 56 percent -- always pay off their balance in full each month and the vast majority of the rest do so most of the time. What's important to them is the length of the interest-free period.

Our target is to deliver demonstrable evidence to our customer that in-hub electric-drive is mature enough to meet the FRES requirement and that the hybrid power architecture can be successfully integrated with an open standards electronic architecture. Further, this is an excellent opportunity for the customer to evaluate the transformational benefits of a hybrid-electric drive that offers track-like performance at wheeled vehicle costs, which has the capability to quickly balance or shift power to mission systems that may have different requirements based on mission profile. This optimizes performance for fuel efficiency, and removes traditional armored fighting-vehicle drive line constraints, which will significantly reduce the whole-life cost of ownership.

What we will do is make a copy of that check and keep a separate tally of those checks and then turn those over to the Poshard Foundation and they have opened up a separate account and will make another copy of the check so we have a check and balance of who's giving. Every penny will be accounted for.

While it's important to look for foods made without trans fat, that's certainly not the only value to pay attention to. Americans have a tendency to overreact over the latest buzz term in the nutrition world. The low-fat craze of the '70s and '80s is the classic example that threw America off balance.

Clearly, the market has been on hold with the events in Iraq, and we're now nearing a crisis deadline. Markets love to work with a balance of certainty. After several weeks of selling, we're now looking at some value hunting.

I am just so happy for Nate and Brady; this was their first full year of wrestling. Brady is a very good athlete for 260 pounds. He can move; he's got good balance, good hips, and those are the things you need to be successful in wrestling.

All of the cities are very adamant about the need and the desire to embrace technology and progress and wireless communications. The concept, though, is the cities' need to balance that desire, need and progress with their ability to self govern and put proper time, place and manner conditions on the growth within their city. They [also] need to take into consideration their residents' concerns, desires and needs there's a balance going on and, unfortunately, Sprint disagrees with that balance.

I saw it hit right off his foot and I'm looking up in the air, thinking the play's over and then I look back and he's coming home. I couldn't get my feet set. I was off balance and tried to throw it. That wasn't the smartest thing in the world. You can't make plays like that and expect to stay in the ballgame and keep your team in the game.

Union County seems pretty even to me this year. We all do things a different way, but there seems to be a lot of balance. For the first time since I've been here, I feel like Sun Valley can put themselves in that group.

Our product will help shape networking in the local business community and bring balance to executives' schedules.

It's that weird balance. We've always thrown the ball here but now we've got the option not to throw the ball. By doing so, it makes throwing that much more effective.
