Social Security was intended to be a guarantee to American workers: it will be there, and it will be there for everyone. We have kept that promise for 70 years, and we can continue to do so if we take time once again to make thoughtful, bipartisan adjustments to the system. It is a pact worth keeping. |
Some associations spend too much of their time defending tradition and the status quo. Defending the status quo won't get the association anywhere — no one benefits by circling the wagons and shooting inward. For members of the organization to benefit, the status quo has to be constantly challenged. |
Some of it has to do with the fact that we have a strikeout pitching staff. I always liked my teams at the top of the league in defense and double plays. Any time you can get two outs on one pitch, it's a lot less pitches for your pitchers. A lot of times, it gets you out of the inning out of trouble. |
Jim McMahon (1959-) |
Staying ahead of this curve by offering the consumer truly differentiated products where we can maintain our standing as a premium brand is a fundamental strategic imperative. We need to focus selectively and aggressively on being the No. 1 consumer electronics and entertainment company on the planet. |
Steve Smith had a great year, no question. Even more so when you think that every team has it on their checklist to do something about Steve Smith. The other day we gave up a lot of passing yardage to some outstanding receivers. But our No. 1 thing will still be to stop the run. That's where we start. |
Supporting the projects and institutions advancing open source software and hardware helps ensure the continued success and advancement of open source technologies. The teams at Oregon State and Portland State have done great open source work in the past, and we're excited to back their joint efforts. |
Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and hinder (men) from Allah's way, they indeed have strayed off into a remote / Surely (as for) those who disbelieve and act unjustly Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to a path / Except the path of hell, to abide in it for ever, and this is easy to Allah. |
Talk about a hard challenge right there. ... If you ever tried to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy. Try and ski a slalom when ... you hit a gate less than every one second, so it's risky. You're putting your life at risk. ...It's like driving drunk, only there are no rules about it in ski racing. |
Teams and security firms hired by teams have to be very cognizant of the potential tragedies that might arise when fans rush the court at the end of games. I think we've been lucky, to be honest. I think we've been really lucky that we haven't seen an awful event happening with fans rushing the court. |
Teams I've had in the past couldn't generate points with defense. Like for example the last time we played South Lakes in the playoffs we were bigger, but they got a lead and spread us out. So, it was kind of nice tonight. What goes around comes around and we were able to do that to them a little bit. |
That companies are making money and still can't pay a living wage seems obscene, ... (Corporations) will say they have to suppress wages to provide low-cost consumer products and services, but they don't tell you about the unbelievable profits they enjoy and the huge paychecks being reaped at the top. |
That kind of policy could facilitate a quicker response to genocide. The genocide has been going on since October 2003, and [then-Secretary of State] Colin Powell announced in 2004 that what was happening was genocide. That was two years ago, and the Corporation is only now acting on what's happening. |
That second 20 minutes was obviously like night and day. And that's a little bit worrisome for me. You always want to treat every game the same, treat every half the same. But I guess we had played pretty well up to this point and that was kind of the first bad 20 minutes that we've played in a while. |
That was kind of our focus (Saturday night), to find a way to get a win on the road. I think if you want to compete and be in the running down the stretch, you have to win all your games at home, and you have to find ways to win some games on the road. We hadn't won on the road, so that was a big win. |
