We played hard and we contained Elliott, which is what we wanted to do. But we didn't hit shots from the field. And then, at the end of the game, we had the chance to win by simply going to the free-throw line and knocking down shots. I thought we put ourselves in a good position. We just didn't execute. |
We played very well. I think we felt guilty of perhaps making things a little bit difficult on ourselves. We created a number of good goal-scoring opportunities and came up short, and that allowed Trinidad to hang around for 89 minutes or so when they could have been punished and sent home a lot earlier. |
We see no indications in the marketplace that the radical Internet business transformation in practices like customer service, supply-chain management, employee training, empowerment, and e-commerce that is taking place around the world today is slowing -- in fact, we believe it is accelerating globally, |
We see the Fed easing as a flu shot that will help prevent recession in 1999, but fixing the global problems that underlie the markets' malaise will require major surgery. So basically, I think the market sees through this as a temporary boost, but there are fundamental problems that aren't yet resolved. |
We set out to write 13 songs. But as has been the case every time we've tried to do that, we ended up with 30-some-odd songs. The difference this time was we ended up liking all of those songs and finishing all of those songs, and it actually became a very difficult process to even whittle it down to 28. |
We spent the last few weeks talking about how good the team's effort was and tonight was the first time that we didn't play with the effort that I felt we should have. We did some of the same things that have cost us games this year but it just looked like the energy level disappeared in the second half. |
We talked to a number of really outstanding coaches. As we went forward, it became obvious to us that there was one person who really fit our situation. We've said that we're going to build a championship team here in Houston, and we knew in order to do that we had to have people of championship caliber. |
We thank David for his contribution over the past three years and wish him a successful future. We are pleased that Allen has agreed to take on the additional responsibility. He has done a tremendous job over the past three years as our chief accounting officer and will help ensure a seamless transition. |
We understand that we have four pitchers in particular that are works in progress and trying to get established at the Major League level. [As far as] changing roles, there's a lot of different things we've got for options, but we're basically going to give them a little bit of time to see how things go. |
We vote on a president in January, and I guarantee you there will be a change. Back in law school they used to tell us, 'If you don't have the facts, argue the law; and if you don't have the law, argue the facts; and if you don't have either one, you play the race card.' This has nothing to do with race. |
We want them to know that the borderless Internet marketplace is not a free zone. Together with our partners, we are putting get-rich-quick schemes on notice that we're monitoring the Web and that we intend to take law enforcement action against those that continue to make fraudulent or deceptive claims. |
We want to have a better progression of distances. Maybe the Holy Bull will be run at a mile and the Fountain of Youth and Florida Derby are run at 11/8 mile. And maybe, on the same day as the Holy Bull, there's a 61/2-furlong [companion] stakes and on Fountain of Youth day there's a 71/2-furlong stakes. |
We wanted to be within five, six points of Barstow. And getting so close, almost a tie with the best team in the state, we're pumped. The kids have great attitudes and good work ethic. The No. 1 thing is this team is so into being cross-country runners. They love it and train so hard. They make us happy. |
We wanted to capture the unparalleled quality and spirit of Neenah, its employees and its premium papers in our daily surroundings, ... The decision to become an independent company presented us with an opportunity to re-brand ourselves as a new Neenah Paper. And, environmental responsibility was a must. |
We wanted to go on the playoffs on a roll. This was a big game for them (Carolina). We knew they'd be fired up. Our challenge was to keep the shifts short and make sure we could maintain a good pace in the game. Our puck movement was excellent, we skated real well and took advantage of several turnovers. |
