The real issue is executing those plans over a dynamic period of time. Most of these systems, you don't implement in a week, you don't implement in a year. They're multiyear implementations in a political environment where laws are being changed, in a budgetary environment where budgets are being changed. |
The result as a team is going to come off the individual performances. Over the years I've seen a lot of guys not perform to their potential because they let the nerves get to the them. The challenge for us is to have that balance of being excited about our opportunities and not take anything for granted. |
The sad fact is, if 500 random people around the world, with some leadership, were injected with an evil virus and they were to decide, fanatically, they would devote the next 5 years of their lives to figuring out how to hurt America and try to implement it, the odds are too high that they could succeed. |
The slow-witted approach to the HIV epidemic was the result of a thousand years of Christian malpractice and the childlike approach of the church to sexuality.

The temperature of the gulf, which I believe is 1 or 2 degrees higher than normal, clearly has been a factor for the power of these hurricanes, and it seems to be spurring discussion about what we need to do to address sea-level rise, coastal storms and a future that could be the result of global warming, |
The vast majority are high school students or college students, working part-time. So when you talk to businesses with full-time employees, most pay more than minimum wage. The data we have shows it generally takes three years before any effects show up in other states that have set a higher minimum wage. |
The warning I would like to make to the members of the august council is that the United States and the British were hoodwinked when they were told that the Iraqi people would receive them with flowers and hugs and ululations, and the children and the mothers will rejoice at the coming of the U.S. forces, |
The way they play is really different. (From my first trip I learned) that I needed to improve my game. Going over there and seeing how they play and the way we play is totally different. It's total ball control. Nothing is rushed there. No one is running around really because it's such a controlled game. |
The Will to Survive documentary presents us with an opportunity to tell a fascinating story. We are delighted to present it as part of our Voices of Color program and give 'voice' to a broader and more positive depiction of African-American images, via wide range, quality programming for the whole family. |
The wins are nice, coach-of-the-year awards are nice, the hall of fame is nice. But the award of coaching is when you get a wedding invitation from a former player, or when they stop in and talk to you after they've graduated.

The Wooden Award Selection Committee had a tough chore in narrowing the list to the final ballot due to the parity of today's elite players and teams.

The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, / What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? / As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. |
