We're looking at a target price on this of $30 and that's right in the neighborhood of where it's at now. It's possible that you could get a little more upside from it, but if you look at the businesses on a cash-flow valuation basis, a breakup wouldn't create that much more value than what we've seen. |
We're not going to see any return on our investment in this program. But it's so much more important from a strategic point of view to see what really interests people. And honestly, some of the ideas that students have come up with are better than things we've venture-funded to the tune of $2 million. |
We're not telling you that you can't have pets, we're not telling you can't have a guard dog. What were telling you is that if you have a pet or a guard dog that has the capabilities of doing what they did to my mother, that you need to be responsible in the way that you care for them and contain them. |
We're opening the second site because we found, when we talked to citizens in the last election, (the new location) was very convenient for people on (the south) side of Greenville. It keeps them from having to go all the way across the city across to the other side of the river to the elections annex. |
We're really happy to have the Scouts doing projects, ... We generally supply all the material and they supply the labor. We ask them to build to our specifications. These are projects we wouldn't be able to do because of the lack of manpower. The Scouts can add amenities that finish things off nicely. |
We're really just replicating the system we already had in place. We at this point have made our last, best and final offer. I don't really want to speak for our negotiating team on what they'll do in the future. That's really speculative. But we are prepared to just move forward in the system we have. |
We're setting a foundation and seeing where they are at, so I can learn them and they can learn me. And [we are] really building from the ground up with a foundation, from stance to receiving, blocking, footwork, the exchange. The icing on the cake will be the middle of Spring Training, calling a game. |
We've all got lots of different influences. We never sit down to write a song and say, 'This is going to be a Brian Eno type of song,' or 'This is a Bob Dylan song.' It's totally little bits of lots of different stuff that come together and hopefully it's something coming out of us that we're creating. |
We've been able to use NAFTA. We import a lot more products to fill niches. We don't have to assemble them locally. We've consolidated a lot around pickup trucks. Rather than build everything to sell in Mexico, you can ship finished products back and forth. You get the production efficiencies of scale. |
We've bent over backward to reach out. We've gone door-to-door to all of the 25,000 hotel rooms no fewer than six times. And there are individuals who have refused to come to the door, refused to answer. There are people who have run when they saw us coming -- those are the ones that are now moving on. |
We've gone very, very hard for six days. We haven't backed off them even one day yet. We went probably longer and harder [Sunday] ever than we have gone. We've had all this time of working real hard, and just mentally they need to do something else, play against somebody else. That'll be good for them. |
We've got all these different ages, but we don't have one cohesive notion as to when a young person achieves an adult level of responsibility. Anyone who has a teenager knows they don't possess an adult's responsibility, and there are now studies that say their brains are wired differently than adults. |
We've got four guys who have played a lot of snaps inside for us. We really feel good about our numbers up front. I think our coaching staff has done a good job of experimenting and moving people around to give us the best combination of players. Depth is really going to help us the rest of the season. |
We've got several seniors that have been together since the ninth grade and they've worked hard for this season. We had to count on several of these guys as sophomores. They had to grow up fast (as sophomores) and they've continued to improve during the past two seasons. Our success will hinge on them. |
We've got to get back to work and try and get a result next week. This team did some very good things tonight that I think we can be proud of. In the end, it was still a loss for us. We're not in this just to play well. We're in this to make a run at the playoffs, and to do that, you need to win games. |
