>>But what about your stockholders<< I think it is more about staying in business, how much is a stock worth for a bankrupt company? This strategy will eventually take out these companies too, but I think they still view it as survival at this point.

saltimbocca(sauteed veal dish) literally means "jumps in the mouth." Minnesota Teen Wins National Spelling Bee By GREG TOPPO .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (May 31) - Equipped with nerves of steel and an inner dictionary that just wouldn't quit..... ... won by spelling ''succedaneum,'' which means, appropriately, ''one that succeeds to the place of another.'' ... as ''hamartia''... means ''a defect of character.'' ... ''resipiscence,'' meaning a change of mind or heart. It probably didn't help that the final day of competition was broadcast on live TV. In fact, as soon as the broadcast began, the first seven students misspelled their words. ... who mulled over ''Australopithecus'' for so long the judges asked that she please get to the spelling. She began it with an ''O'' and never recovered. ... ''fimbrillate,'' meaning ''bordered with a minute fringe.'' ... ''nisei,'' an American-born Japanese person. She spelled it ''nesae.'' Many of Thursday morning's words were smaller but no less difficult than the tongue-twisting, polysyllabic standards. ... ''arnica,'' an herb used to soothe bruises and sprains. ... "goldbugger" meaning a gold nut ... "gatanut" meaning a tooting bill person ... replaced the ''k'' in ''kudize'' with a ''ch.'' It means ''to praise'' or give someone kudos. ''hyoid,'' referring to bones at the base of the tongue. Like last year, Italian food knocked Lauren Fowler, of Fort Pierce, Fla., out of competition. This year it was ''saltimbocca,'' a sauteed veal dish that literally means ''jumps in the mouth.'' In 2000, she missed ''biscotti.'' Lauren, a sixth-grader whose wavy blonde hair reaches to her waist, said she didn't study very hard for the competition..... ''I just kind of try my best because I have other things that I do,'' she said. ''obmutescence,'' meaning keeping silent or mute. Asked what her spelling strategy is, she replied flatly, ''I guess.''
