There is typically a bounce in such purchases and if this proves subdued this year, many investors will conclude that a stronger Japanese economy and rising bond yields has moderated Japanese investor appetite for foreign assets. This scenario would see the yen a lot firmer. |
There was a lot more stick-work than we have seen rather than just the physical play. It wasn't the shoulder to shoulder like we saw in Philadelphia. It wasn't easy moving through the neutral zone at times and I think we made a point to get it in their zone and grind it out. |
There was a lot of out-of-position fouling. If we don't let them go to the line that much, we probably get the win. We had a lot of trouble (defensively). The last three games, we haven't, but tonight we did it again. We didn't move our feet and play proper position defense. |
There was a lot of pressure to have geographical balance on the ticket, someone from a different part of the state. But this is an incredibly diverse state. There are no two people who can encompass that diversity. So I choose someone who would share my values and my vision. |
There were 17 kids in the junior division and five of them were Kyle's present or former students. Kyle was a little relieved that he didn't have to compete against his students. He had won (the junior division) a couple years ago and he wanted one of his students to win it. |
There will be a few recipes in the show that feature national sponsor ingredients. When we're putting a show together, we want to have a variety of dishes and pick out a few things that we think are new and different and some things that have some teaching technique as well. |

There's a chance that we could wrestle six matches over the weekend. And we could wrestle four times on Friday. But we're excited about it. The kids have bounced back from the (Penn-Trafford) loss. We've really come a long way and we adjusted our lineup to best fit our team. |
There's a wealthy consumer today that wants product that are the best of class. And they're willing to pay for it. They want the most perfect jacket, or perfect piece of outerwear. They don't want the products to change. They are looking for products that they can depend on. |
There's countries that we all identify as particular areas of concern -- China, Russia -- and I think that will get a good deal of discussion. But I think both of our governments go into this dialogue recognizing this is a global problem and it's got to be a global solution. |
There's gonna be a good fight for that position. John's got the step up on everybody else, that's for sure, after what he did last year, but there's certainly no guaranteeing him the job, number one, and there's no guaranteeing that he won't be sharing it with somebody, too. |
There's no question that gas prices will play a factor, but I don't think that the fallout will be as concerning as many analysts have feared, ... The holidays are something that consumers . . . plan ahead for. They tend not to be swayed by short-term economic circumstances. |
There's no question unemployment is what drives consumer confidence, which in turn drives consumer spending. We have to be realistic and accept the notion that, as we enter the first quarter and December, these sales are going to get a bit weaker. We're still in a recession. |

These are areas of vitality that may not be apparent to the causal outside observer and opportunities that can contribute to better business results, both collectively and individually. I believe that people, business values and technology can serve as bridges to the future. |
