We found that the more content we make available, the more buzz we create. There's an audience for the consumption of media that's super-strong in front of the TV and also strong when people are not. We have to make sure our content is made available to people wherever they are. |
We got a lot stronger, faster, and worked very hard in the off season, and then as the season began it took a little time, but we slowly came together as a team. I think the biggest difference is that we have done good for playing for each other instead of playing for ourselves. |
We got screwed in Baltimore. I will say that until in the nursing home on my rocking chair. The commissioner got mad at me at the competition committee meeting. I said the official [White] should be fired. Just spot fired. It wasn't a judgment call. He just didn't know the rule. |
We had 32 sets of books running in one instance of Oracle several years ago. You can imagine how fast data was collecting -- and we do business in 29 different countries, each with its own retention requirements. We turned to archiving to get our database down to a useable size. |
We had another excellent year in 2005, both financially and strategically. Our business units performed well and delivered solid financial results, which are even more impressive considering we added the USF companies to our portfolio and realigned our regional service coverage. |
We had motivation, losing to them last year and losing some tough games this year. So I said, Okay, let's see what you've got.' I'm so proud of these guys, the way they answered the call. Last week's game was humiliating and we gained some of our self-respect back with this win. |
We had people come into our camp in the middle of the night saying, 'Hey, there's an old folks home, and they don't have anything,' and we're loading trucks in the middle of the night, so we can go back there and give them MRE's [military Meals Ready-to-Eat], or give them water, |
We had some guys who had been starting and batting in different spots in the order. Jack made a shuffle and put some guys in different places. I think the credit goes to them for taking it and being upbeat about it. Any time there are changes, it can be tough on people's psyche. |
We had the opportunity to win that game two or three times if we got more rebounds. I don't know if we're fatigued, small, the ball's bouncing the wrong way, we don't jump or we just want Marcus to be back and that's the way we're telling the basketball gods we need Marcus back. |
We had them tied to the park fence and gave them enough rope so that they could eat. We had feed buckets from the stable and we were keeping them fed and watered and exercised, and we'd let them graze. I was walking in chest-high water and carrying feed and making sure they ate. |
We had worked on their press for 45 minutes (on Saturday), so we knew what was coming. I told the team that we played at the end, and not to the end. We didn't play 32 minutes, and we missed 24 shots in the paint. We made lazy passes (in the first half) against an athletic team. |
We have a total of 38 families here in Williamson County. We probably have such a large number here because of the interstate. Other surrounding counties have considerably fewer evacuees. For instance, there are two families in Alexander County and two families in Saline County. |
We have a very mixed situation. There are a few bright spots, but it's a bit disappointing that there hasn't been a follow through from what we saw Friday (with stocks rising). However, that is to be expected as the market responds to oversold conditions and tries to set a base. |
We have been preparing for years for the critical events the spacecraft must execute on Friday. By all indications, we're in great shape to succeed, but Mars has taught us never to get overconfident. Two of the last four orbiters NASA sent to Mars did not survive final approach. |
We have concerns about the way they've handled the case. Our competitors helped bring this case against us, and the Justice Department has been suggesting governments overseas bring their own lawsuits against us. Many members of Congress agree with us that this is inappropriate. |
