The stock market could be on track for a recovery, ... The stock market is one of the key leading economic indicators and it tends to turn up about six months before the official end of recession. So, if in fact it stays up now, it would be signaling that the recession could be over sometime next June. |
The target audience for the RSE system in most cases is families, who particularly appreciate being able to entertain the kids in the car. Losing this convenience because a new vehicle does not offer a rear-seat entertainment system is simply not an option for families who use the technology regularly. |
The Tarver loss bothered me for a while simply because I knew why I lost that fight. It wasn't because of my skills; it was my lack of preparation. I took too much time off. I should have said: 'I'm not ready for this fight, let's postpone it.' But the warrior that's inside of me said go out and fight. |
The testing of life support systems will certainly be useful, ... But on the psychological side, the real human factor is not whether people go crazy living in a tin: they don't. It's whether they can put up with the overwork once they arrive on Mars and start a rigorous programme of field exploration. |
The thesis he put together in his book was that lead poisoning in the canned food probably caused the demise of the expedition, ... But looking at that thesis, it didn't seem to hold water, so I decided to go looking around for a more plausible explanation for what might have killed off the expedition. |
The thing that really worries me is their physicality and their athleticism. In sectional-type games, if you're soft and you're physical, you're going to go home. We have to make sure we rise to the challenge. All across the perimeter they're quick, they can defend, and they're active. That worries me. |
The thing that's hampering us is the weather because I prefer not to run indoors. It's not good for the shins. We (lost only three graduates), but we lost three pretty good girls. With the girls we have back, we've been working pretty hard. It's nice to see some (junior varsity)-type girls stepping up. |
The thing we wanted to accomplish with these games on Sunday and Monday (was) to give a number of players 90 minutes for the first time in a long time. Out of both games, we had 15 players who played a full 90 minutes and two others that played 90 minutes over two days and that's a real plus right now. |

The warehouse club concept seems to be fairly transportable, ... They're even going to build a warehouse in Taipei. They're now going to provide Internet service in conjunction with Microsoft at $11.99 a month. All of that keeps Costco's membership fairly stable and keeps their renewal rates very high. |
The way it hurts is when housing prices peak and then we no longer have this wealth effect that has been driving consumer spending. And so far, housing prices are growing at double-digit rates. But it's going to happen sometime, and we think it's going to happen probably starting in the second quarter. |
The whole community is embracing us right now. Any time I have people I don't even know coming up to me, shaking my hand and telling me congratulations and good luck, you want to play for people like that. You are going to give everything you have. That's what we do every time we step out on the court. |
The will to domination is a ravenous beast. There are never enough warm bodies to satiate its monstrous hunger. Once alive, this beast grows and grows, feeding on all the life around it, scouring the earth to find new sources of nourishment. This beast lives in each man who battens on female servitude. |
Their smaller size gives them less diversification, less geographic spread. So you have a little bit more risk with them. Those companies are about $16 billion market cap companies, whereas BP Amoco is a $200 billion company. So you can compare BP Amoco to a GE in terms of its size and diversification. |
Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! / And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! / And the foremost are the foremost, / These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah), / In the gardens of bliss. |
