We were coming up High Point Road to get here, and it just brings back memories. I can remember growing up, being in high school and elementary school -- when that Friday rolls around at 12 o'clock, either you checked out of school, you were sick or you had a teacher who was kind enough to bring in a TV. |
We were going to have a knee-jerk negative reaction to the Fed's decision no matter what, with so many different opinions on what should be done, but I think today, it may be that people are looking more closely at the statement and see it as the Fed saying things are slowly going in the right direction. |
We were impressed with IFS' industry-focused solution and expertise in the food and beverage industry. IFS Applications will enable us to greatly improve the quality, efficiency, effectiveness and profitability of our operations, especially in the areas of distribution, route sales, pricing and delivery. |
We were in control in the first few days with our batting and that's how we wanted to stay, ... We had set ourselves up to try and have a range of options as the day wore on so that if bad weather did eventuate, we were still in control of what we wanted to do. We didn't get ourselves into that position. |
We were playing like we were down big, and we really weren't. I thought we were going for steals too quick. It was causing us to foul. It was causing us to give up easy baskets. Pretty soon we had to shoot threes and we had to foul. They hit free throws and we didn't hit threes. You're in bad shape then. |
We were talking at a very high level of conversation about principles and values. It's another thing to come up with real solutions. I'm only speaking personally, but if the solution they come up with is only to add a fifth bowl and a little more access, that is not a successful resolution of the issues. |
We were trying to keep people away from predicting 15-to-20-percent growth rates [in U.S. services] in the third quarter, when we came off a 7-percent growth rate in the second quarter, ... We're seeing good growth, good job creation that's still solid, but about the same as it was in the second quarter. |
We will have a closing day ceremony. That is where we will have a get together and the final games are played. We will have a community picnic, but is really about everybody here within a 15-20 mile radius of one another. But to get everybody kind of condensed here is really the key to what goes on here. |
We will only see profitability in 2007 when we expect a return of US$6.2 billion. This is a net profit margin of 1.5%, not even enough to cover the cost of capital and nowhere near recovering the billions lost since 2001. A long and difficult agenda for change involving all partners is still ahead of us. |
We won the singles today, but the European team took the trophy. Europe is a great team and so was the Asian team. I was happy to see the boys fight back after yesterday. For a moment, it looked possible that we could upset Europe and our players grew in confidence. We proved today that we could compete. |
We would like to get as close to our fans as possible, because that's our 12th man on the field. The more we can do that, the better we feel we have a chance of winning, because the crowd can play a huge role. We don't want to have to feel that we play on the road every Sunday, but that is a possibility. |
We?re lucky that the York Water District leases us about 6.5 acres of land up there. That?s how we were able to grow and expand, and they have recently added another seven acres to our 50-year lease with them ... We are hoping to build a small education center so that we can be more of a public facility. |
We're a better team when I'm on the floor and up until the Houston game, I was playing well. The seniors need me out there. Hassan needs me out there to help out and I do a better job as far as disrupting teams when I'm out there and we're a better team when I'm out there. I think everybody can see that. |
We're aiming at attracting high-end, well-established tenants. Original commerce is what we want. Distinguished chain stores may be not welcomed, with the same appearances, same styles and same services as these are boring. Its clients would be companies or studios whose work is related to design or art. |
We're executing all even at a very low level. I think that has been the malady of our team right now. Quite clearly we are not at the level of execution on half-field offense the way we should be. Right now, you should be scoring one out of every three half-field possessions, and we're nowhere near that. |
