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.

I think it's very nice that she apologized, but in some ways the apology almost made the comment worse because she seems to have forgotten that being a mother is a real job, ... I think it's just unfortunate to try to disparage women who have made the choice of making their families a priority.
