It is easy to understand how money works against consumers' interests in politics by considering that the COOL legislation made it through Congress with a strong show of support a few years ago, only to be corralled by a strong industry lobbying effort capped by a cornucopia of campaign cash. |
It is getting to that point in the year where you have to start playing your best basketball. Not that we have been messing around, but it's time to get serious. We are nine days to the end of the regular season and it is time to put up or shut up and I am challenging these guys to put it up. |
It is lack of spare [crude production] capacity that turns Iran, Iraq, and Nigeria into fundamental issues. Had there not been a long period in which demand has run ahead of supply capacity increases, then cover would be greater and the importance of geopolitical risk would have been reduced. |
It is only with valid, credible, good intelligence that we are able to anticipate someone who is trying to cause harm to the American people or to strike us in our territory or to, frankly, attack our special interests around the world. Intelligence is a critical part of our national defense. |
It is unfortunate that there are people who say that capitalism is inherently immoral. I do not view it that way at all. I think that capitalism, more than any other system, gives a person the capability, through economic growth and economic development, to provide more opportunity to people. |
It looked like no body was really talking. No body was giving each other eye contact, which is really important. Eye contact and communication is really important when you are out on the court. It just really was not there. We were playing as if we were sleeping all day and had just woken up. |
It may be tough for the industry to top 1999, but for right now we're just going to enjoy it. Light trucks were the driving force behind the market growth last year. We expect more of the same this year and we're ready for continued growth with the introduction of our new Acura SUV this fall. |
It really broke him up. Those experiences have had a profound impact on me. It's just so striking what the university has done, is doing and will do for the people on an individual basis. To think that I will have a big role in helping to move this institution into the future is just awesome. |
It requires a lot of economic stimulus to increase the amount of revenue but also to have external aid allocated in a way which allows growth from both sides - one trying to bring in foreign income, the other saying the vast majority of the population are rural, so let's try and lift them up. |
It seemed like when they wanted to turn up their defensive pressure, they did. They challenged a lot of our shots, but during that stretch on the offensive end, we had three or four opportunities that didn't go, and they ran the other way with it. The lead went from four to 12 pretty quickly. |
It starts up front. It starts on both sides of the ball. I want to have a great offensive line, physical. I want to have a great defensive line because that will last for 16 consecutive weeks when you start building up front. Obviously every position is important, but that's where I'll focus. |
It takes 15-20 games to get back to the form where you would be at midseason. Last week was my training camp, basically. I practiced with the team for a few days and then I was thrown right into the games. So I'm in my third week of the season, really. I'm feeling better and better every day. |
It tells me that you have to make an investment in your product. It's just like any manufacturing company bringing a new product online -- you have to make an investment up front in order to attract customers. If you put together a solid product, your investment is certainly going to pay off. |
It turned out it was easier to write the grants because we were proposing bringing a lot of different people and disciplines together in one spot. I think we'll garner even more interest and research dollars working with people on campus and around the world once they see what we can do here. |
It used to be when a white van pulled up, full of stereo equipment and you paid 50, 60 cents on the dollar, you knew it was stolen merchandise. Today, they're fenced right on e-bay from the comfort of your home. You could be buying potentially stolen goods and people need to be aware of that. |
