Caterpillar is a powerful symbol of this process. It dominates its field. It is one of America's largest exporters, and it is very profitable. If there ever was a company that could bring back the social contract of the mid-20th century, it is Caterpillar. But it chooses not to. |

Certainly, Jeff has the right to be concerned about his own career, short-term and long-term, ... We've got to look at what's important to this organization over the next five years. It's very important that we choose cap health over cap hell. We can't make short-term decisions. |
Cigarette smoking continues to impose substantial health and financial costs on individuals and society. If we want to significantly reduce the toll in this decade, we must provide the 32 million smokers who say they want to quit with the tools and support to do so successfully. |
Clearly, if we take a stock out at $2, and 6 months later it's trading at $10, we look silly and people who invest in the index will say, 'I missed a five-times gain'. But in talking to people who run index funds, the vast majority of managers say take the low-priced stocks out, |
Coach had a talk with me. He just wanted me to keep my head up. That was the first true test of the offense. There's a lot of things we have to work on, but we saw some good things on the film. He wants the same intensity. He don't care how good you played or how bad you played. |
Collectively, I think this inspires us to go out there and finish up strong and really not give it up. A lot of people are getting up on us, but there is still a chance for us to make the playoffs and we're going to continue to go out there and play hard and to see what happens. |
Comeback hockey is very tough this time of year. I didn't think we came out moving our feet; they did. The first one (goal) we kind of gave it to them. You could tell we just weren't focused. I hope that was a good wake-up call for them (his players). There's no excuse for that. |
Coming out No. 1 adds pressure. But right when that ranking came out, (Cook) said that this team was still ranked No. 5 – the way we finished last year. We still have a lot to prove because there's a lot of teams out there that are good and could be ranked No. 1 instead of us. |
Commodity prices are being supported by healthy demand from countries such as China and India, but one must remember that it remains a cycle. Currently it looks like the cycle remains in the 'stronger for longer' position and South African companies are taking advantage of this. |
Communications are still in disarray and in many cases, these officers may not have had the means or the time to contact their family members and let them know they are safe. The Louisiana State Lodge has volunteered to locate and get messages to officers working in their State. |
Companies are communicating very effectively with their internal audience and clients, but they don't realize how information from a public Web site can be interpreted differently, particularly by adversary groups. In the international realm, that can put you in the cross hairs. |
Complacency is not on our agenda. It is certainly not our biggest danger. My players have worked very hard for what they have achieved so far. They will not allow that to creep in. Neither myself, nor the coaching staff have to do anything to prevent that. They do it themselves. |
Conditions indicate that motorists may see slight increases in retail gasoline prices within the next few days. Typically, pump prices in Texas move lower during this time of year due to a decrease in demand, but with crude oil trading around $63 a barrel that has yet to happen. |
Connectivity at the home opens the door for a new paradigm in education. We'll be able to link homes and schools like never before through interactive multimedia tools. There are a plethora of applications that make schools more flexible in the present performance of its duties. |
