Earnings estimates are really, really weak -- and the focus really is earnings. In October, a rosy picture was painted for 2003. Now people are saying the second half will be good. I'm very, very leery about the economic condition. Come July, August, I'm afraid the earnings estimates will be cut. |
Enterprises and consumers alike have an insatiable appetite for network access availability, speed and quality. This is an important move by a company who is very serious about raising the industry bar and meeting the important and dynamic requirements of its business and consumer constituencies. |
Especially off Billy, it's crazy. I haven't hit a ball like that off him ever. Ever. ... It was a big boost for us because it tied the game. They came back and beat us. It shows what kind of team they are. We played good against them. Right now, they're probably one of the best teams on the East. |
Even if he does recover, he will have a very hard time convincing the public of his ability to serve four more years, after undergoing two strokes in two and a half weeks. One can cautiously say that it appears that the era in which Sharon stood at Israel's helm came to a tragic end on Wednesday. |
Even though I was falling behind, I stayed positive and believed in my chances of winning. I felt very good hitting from the baseline and was moving my opponent pretty well so I thought the momentum would shift if I continued playing like that. I kept my concentration and was able to get the win. |
Every extra delay reduces the chances of a deal being done that will lift people out of poverty. Promises have been made repeatedly by rich countries to remove barriers to farm trade. But this rearguard action by the French and other EU member states is undermining even the minimal progress made. |
Every inspection provides an opportunity to save a life. Last year in Texas alone, our technicians conducted more than 500 inspections and 21st donated more than 380 brand-new seats. We like watching those numbers rise, not the one that says more than 80 percent of seats are improperly installed. |
Everyone wants to win their first game, and everyone wants it to be just like college, but it's not, ... It is the NFL for a reason. It's a big adjustment. Six games or a year from now, you look back on these games and you say, 'I hated to go through it, but it helped me become a better player.' |
Fair play to them, they have been doing very well but we are going to try to catch them. We have picked up since last month. The results were not that bad but the fact we lost to Blackburn made the results before that, the two draws, look even worse than they were because we lost a lot of ground. |
Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn. |
Following Hurricane Katrina, state Medicaid agencies, including Alabama's, have been significantly strained as they work to meet the needs of residents and evacuees from other areas, ... This legislation is important as it provides the much-needed federal assistance for hurricane-affected states. |
For me, acting's just great fun. A lot more fun than making sculptures, so that's what I wanted to do. It wasn't any great calling-maybe years later, when I'm 60 or whatever, I'll pretend it was, who knows?! But acting is just the most fun I could ever possibly have in my life... and it still is. |
For me, you always feel like you're in it right up until the buzzer goes. But ever since I've been a little kid, I've always gotten choked up when the season ended, other than when you win the championship. It's usually in the dressing room when you realize they won't let you play another period. |
For our industrial customers, our insurance rates are pretty low. We just don't see quite the same effect as an office building or retail or apartments or something from that standpoint. We've got much bigger issues like land prices going up, construction costs going up and things of that nature. |
For some reason I just started writing and out came this play. It's a series of monologs. All of the characters are from different walks of life. I have everything from an 18-year-old kid to a fourth-grade girl. There's not really a plot. It's about their reactions to how it (9/11) affected them. |
