Our database is growing by a substantial amount on a daily basis. We cannot keep 10 or 15 years of data in our production environment, but because we have to meet the legal requirements of 27 different countries, I have to maintain data and make sure it's accessible for a certain period of time to meet local statutory requirements.
In terms of how did the donor acquire this West Nile virus infection, the two possibilities are a mosquito bite before the time that the person was injured in the automobile accident, or received a blood product immediately after being injured, ... I think we have to aggressively pursue the possibility that a blood product is responsible for this.
I think students are more comfortable contacting one another through the messaging feature on the site because it doesn't have the connotation of an e-mail. The site makes interactions much more playful and lightweight, which I think can be a great thing for building friendships or relationships.
When a book is written, it's a final product. But, when a script is finished, it's really just a blueprint. And it's an extraordinary experience for me to watch someone take what I wrote and imagined and make it three-dimensional. And it's great if someone adds something I hadn't thought of.
Two thousand five was a great year. Our investment in Hub's sales culture and the commitment of our people enabled us to post organic growth in the face of declining insurance rates.

I remember a family that literally lost everything they own but were still so appreciative that all of their family members were safe. It really puts everything in perspective for you.
It's something that our U.S. government has said a number of times in the past. It's information that was used very widely after his attack on the Kurds. I believe it was close to 300,000, ... That's something I said every day in the course of the campaign. That's information that we talked about a great deal in America.
It was great to see Tom break out at the plate last week, and even better that he was recognized by the league for it. He has been steady defensively all season, no matter where we've asked him to play. We look forward to his offensive contributions to continue for the last half of the season.
When you're ahead in the game, or you're not a long ways behind, you can stay with your game plan. I'm anxious to see how we respond if the tables are turned and we're not ahead. That's one of the things this team has not faced yet, is some adversity like that. As we get into the meat of our schedule, things aren't always going to go our way like they did last week.
