We probably will focus more now on getting ready for the draft and possibly extending some of the guys who are in the last year of their deal. We don't have many of those guys. I think for the most part we're done, although we wouldn't eliminate discussion on anybody or anything. |
We really think we're seeing a bottoming in the market, ... We think the issues really have been dealt with that caused the real collapse of the market. We think we're in a bottoming process that can last a while -- we think the last leg of it is resolution of the Iraq conflict. |
We saw a similar dip in overall satisfaction, search and ordering process last year, so this isn't a surprise. As we approach the holiday shipping deadline, pressured online shoppers are having a tougher time of finding the products they want and ordering the merchandise in time. |
We saw softness in apparel and other seasonal merchandise in the latter part of March, ... While higher gas prices pinched tax refund money, consumers have also indicated that they traveled less to shopping centers. The impact from that aspect may not be huge but it was a factor. |
We scan the ports where most hacking activities or unauthorized access might take place. We also do regular network monitoring to look for any suspicious activity. We are not perfect at it, but we are like a credit card company looking for some suspicious activity on the network. |

We signed six last year and brought five in and maybe that's one reason we didn't get another one. Guys tend to look at what you've got on the lower end of it (freshmen) than they do the upper end (seniors). Next year, we'll be in a situation where that will definitely be a need. |
We spent a lot of time during the Christmas holidays trying to figure out what we were going to do. We had conversations about whether it was even appropriate to continue to do the show without John. He was such a central part of the ensemble and of our lives together as a group. |
We started winning the games we knew we were supposed to win because it [would determine] if we were going to make the NCAA tournament. As a team we all decided that we wanted to make some tournament. We took that mind frame at the end of the season and that helped us to succeed. |
We tell him you can have a terrible 30 minutes and a great two minutes. Tracy's a veteran. He didn't have a real good ballgame — he forced some shots, didn't play real good tough defense — but in the end he came up with the clutch plays. That's what a clutch ball player does. |
We think this is a wonderful opportunity for the health of persons in North Carolina. We believe this new partnership between the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation and the North Carolina Medical Society Foundation will make a real difference in the lives of North Carolinians. |
We thought we could do something special, if we all put our resources together. This is new to me. The whole thing of networking online wasn't around when I was a teen. I wasn't aware of how big a problem this was. And when you are 17 you have no idea of who you are dealing with. |
We told the foreign ministers that enrichment for research purposes is Iran's acknowledged right as a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and therefore we will not accept any demands of suspending it. |
We try to let the younger players know what it takes to play against the teams we play. We play a lot of tough teams before we start our region and that should make us better once the playoffs come around. We want them to learn to play our system now instead of later in the year. |
We very much benefited this year from the still-low interest rates, with the Home Depot's and Lowe's of the world doing well, ... The whole universe of homebuilders and mortgagers did really well, too, but as interest rates continue to rise next year, that's going to dry up some. |
