They often venture out, go farther than the closest available food resources. But it's a concern that the closest food source won't be available to them this year.

The fifth province is not anywhere here or there, north or south, east or west. It is a place within each of us. It is that place that is open to the other, that swinging door which allows us to venture out and others to venture in.

If everyone in the group is a stakeholder, you're dividing that money in shares a lot more different ways. If you have one artist and a bunch of hired dancers, vocalists, and musicians, they're getting paid salary, and it becomes a profitable venture sooner, in most cases, with a solo artist.

Half the companies that raised venture money in 2005 won't be able to raise money in 2006.

Matt Asay

Phoenix is one of our target markets, because of large demand and job growth that's occurring here. We're looking for more opportunities in Phoenix as a joint venture and by ourselves as well.

Perry Pinto

It's not an absolute lock that you need venture funding to find success on Wall Street, but the road is paved a lot more smoothly.

Jesse Reyes

The reason for the joint venture is risk mitigation. Rio Tinto and everyone else (in the field) is increasingly looking into more remote areas for new production and particularly for large, underdeveloped mines in Russia and Africa -- two regions where large ore bodies have yet to be discovered or developed.

Victor Lazarovici

There is a concern if (the venture) can execute as effectively as (companies) that have it all under one roof.

Tom Watts

It's a strong area for venture capital.

Craig Cuddebach

This is a new venture. (A judge says) even though it looks like a slot machine and acts like a slot machine, it's not really a slot machine.

Brian Mcgill

[His father wasn't thrilled with his venture into pop,] but now he understands because he's seen the results among the people, ... It's not completely to his liking, but what else can he do now that he sees I was right?

Micron's earnings per share did benefit by 5 cents from a one-time refinancing of a joint venture arrangement. Even excluding this one-time gain, results were outstanding. Sales were $1.79 billion, compared with sales of $864 million a year ago.

Erika Klauer

China is expected to eliminate some key restrictions by January of 2005. Earlier, companies with a market cap of under $2 billion could operate in China only with a local joint-venture partner. This will no longer be valid.

Erik Autor

I'm pleased for the joint venture because I was obviously a part of the organisation.

Ellery Hanley

This chair was their first venture into furniture making. It blasted off. It became the hottest thing in children's design.

Elisabeth Agro

The possibility of underwriting this investment through some sort of joint-venture or equity participation is something worth considering.
