The size of this crowd is tribute to Marge Schott. I would be surprised if most of the people here didn't have a personal story about Marge. She was the most accessible owner in baseball. I bet there are a lot of people here who went up to her at the ballpark and got her autograph. |
The smart employee understands the boss's temperament and style. You want to move to being a partner from being just another worker. You want to become part of a high-performance team, and you want your boss to depend on you to deliver consistently high effort and offer good ideas. |
The songs are depressing, but they sound happy. That's the whole trick, ... This record is more a function of being on the road for basically two years, never having any downtime or privacy. Any semblance of a normal life. So you end up writing these disjointed, disconnected songs. |
The stadium was absolutely amazing. It was great. We got to run out on the field after our name was called. I was so pumped up that I wanted to run out of the stadium while the others ran about 10 yards. I can't complain about the coaches. My mother thought the trip was great also. |
The strategic OEM relationship between Nortel and Witness Systems blends leading contact center communications technologies with advanced contact recording and quality monitoring products to create an integrated solution delivering world-class performance optimization capabilities. |
The tactics that the abductors are using -- showing her with a veil on, crying, asking for the release of the Iraqi prisoners -- is an unacceptable tactic. Even if the abductors believe the Iraqi women are being imprisoned unjustly, Islam does not condone two wrongs making a right. |
The thing that he gives you is that he's a big, physical kid. He gives you a little bit at the line of scrimmage for the run game. And he's adequate [as a receiver] at the short to intermediate area. He knows how to work in space and he catches the ball pretty well. He's improving. |
The thing that I find with Annika is that she does her work and then she leaves. She doesn't hang around, ... She just gets it done and stays focused and that's what I'm trying to do, learn from that. The best player out here obviously is Annika and she has the best time management |
The things you have to do to win (a Medal of Honor) are so rare, so unusual. Millions of people have served in the armed forces, and only a couple thousand have received one. What they would have to do would be so phenomenal, so over the top, that it just doesn't happen very often. |
The true key is a trust in self For when I trust myself, I fear no one else I took control of my life, just as anyone can I want everyone to see it's in the palm of your hand The past is gone, the future yet unborn But right here and now is where it all goes on. |
The tunnel where we were trapped was about 60 square meters, like a big room with no windows. Fortunately, we found air blowing in from one of the two ventilation pipes, one of which was already broken. We also collected the water left in the drilling machine and a broken pipeline. |
The two governments are pretty unapologetic about that, because it is an attempt to keep them in the process and make them realize that anybody who would be seen to be responsible for the breakdown of talks this time, however fairly or unfairly, would not be forgiven by the public. |
The unfortunate thing for the Philippines is that the terminal saga is a high-profile example, one which you can't miss as you fly into Manila, of how politics, business, the legal system and bureaucracy can become entangled to produce a debilitating effect on economic development. |
The Vagina Monologues is beautifully written and I'm delighted to be following in the footsteps of magnificent actresses like Annie Potts, Gina Gershon, Audra McDonald and Claire Danes. In addition, working for the brilliant director Joe Mantello is an opportunity not to be missed. |
The waters in the Gulf of Mexico are warm, but so are the waters in the eastern Atlantic. But the water temperature isn't the controlling factor in whether a hurricane maintains its strength. Wind shear still determines whether a storm will strengthen or weaken before it hits land. |
