At the time we were approached with the idea, gasoline prices were still going up, and there was no bus service that could transport the individuals to their certain destination. Now that it's in effect, hopefully, people will support it and make it easier for going to places like the mall and Wal-Mart. |
At this point, the task of the component suppliers is to find enough chips to meet the demand, ... But there's always the psychological turning point as to when you begin to slow the demand down. I think that's the problem. I think it's been overdone, and I think the chip stocks are very good buys here. |
At times we blame the defense (for penetration), but there's a certain job the center man has to do and the winger has to do. We were stronger on the boards tonight than we were last night. They save a lot of energy because the puck is not in our end and they don't have to chase people. That helps them. |
B.C. is a very diversified economy, with strength in the high-tech industries, expanding natural gas and base metal sectors and booming non-residential construction. However, slowing exports in the province's key forest products sector will likely hold back gains in employment and vehicle sales in 2006. |
Back in July in '04 when I left active duty, if they'd said 'You can't leave, you have to do another tour,' I wouldn't have been happy about it. But I'd have much rather done that than have a life set up and a job and moved and all that stuff and then be told pull chalks out of that and go back to Iraq. |
Baseball, itself, teaches you lessons. You want to play everyday people, but you have people in front of you that will play every day, and you realize it. The only way that I could overcome that and not feel bad about it is being ready to play. I made up my mind and from that point on, I have been fine. |
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? / The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. |
Ben pitched a very good ballgame (until the fourth), but one of the things he has to learn is, when things are going against him, he doesn't know how to step back and say, 'What am I going to do here? What do I need to do?' He just keeps throwing. That's something that experience will help take care of. |
Besides being one of my best friends, she's been a really good friend to everyone on this team. She stayed on the team, she brings the water to every game and she's at every practice. We respect her a lot for being here. I think anyone else would have a tough time dealing with (the injury), but she did. |
Big institutions are holding back their own capital. They're looking for an upside catalyst for stock prices. Any activity on the mergers and acquisition, buy-back or dividend fronts, mixed with good news out of energy or the Fed, would be a catalyst to bring the big institutions back into stock market. |
Billy Mueller's my favorite ballplayer, ... I keep telling my son every time he watches the game to watch this guy. He's a guy who earns every bit of his success out on the baseball field the way he approaches the game, the way he plays, switch-hitting. That's the kind of ballplayer I want my son to be. |
Biology has taught us that if you have water and energy and some organic compounds you can produce life even in the most extreme environments. Basically, life can get a foothold almost anywhere. This forebodes well for the possibility that life existed on Mars sometime in the past or even perhaps today. |
Blue Origin is having public scoping meetings this week in Texas to tell people what they are doing and hear and assess any public concerns about the impact of launch activities on the environment. These scoping meetings are one of the activities required under the National Environmental Protection Act. |
Brian goes about his position in a very methodical and thoughtful way. He also has developed a great relationship with ownership. They are so respectful of baseball operations. It's about as good a match as you can have between baseball ownership and operations, and it works. There is respect both ways. |
Bryan started as an intern with us, then came back full-time, so people could see that he was the kind of individual who'd thrive here. Bryan had a knack for getting through the jargon and being straightforward. That earned the respect of senior managers, and translated into more responsibility for him. |
