ability anticipate areas both capital complete contingent culture decline declining due encouraged experience flowing further future hurricane improvement integrate internal loss market near ongoing partly rates sales year
We don't see rates declining much further or a significant firming in the near future, partly because ample capital is flowing into the market after the 2005 hurricane season. At the same time, we are encouraged by the ongoing development of our internal sales culture and by our ability to complete and integrate acquisitions. We anticipate further improvement in both areas in 2006. We also anticipate that contingent commissions could decline this year due to loss experience for insurers in 2005.

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

addressing choice create families fit meet minimum needs parents preference size system threshold type variety
In a system like New York, we want to create a variety of choices. As long as they meet a minimum threshold of performance, they're addressing the needs of parents and families who have a preference for that type of education. One size doesn't fit all in a system like this.
