Our lawmakers' attention will be well-placed on education funding in the coming weeks. Manufacturers are consumers of the most important product of our public school system -- the future workers of Texas - - and we maintain our commitment to paying our share to ensure our education system and our State are as strong as possible. |
Our main reason for choosing them is that they're very artist friendly. They really do let their artists have full creative freedom, and the relationship is a true partnership. And, we hope to accomplish the same things for the band in the future. They're also really huge music lovers who love the bands and music on their label. |
Our sales probably didn't drop off as fast as they should have when we grew so fast and weren't performing at the store level. We really fixed most of the issues starting in 2003 and on into 2004. We were very comfortable where we were, but we weren't seeing the sales results. We were starting to get very frustrated around here. |
Our seniors have made it to this game every year, if not farther. This has been a successful group and I'm certainly disappointed for them that we didn't win, because we played so hard, but I could never be disappointed in this group. They've achieved so much this year and have done so much as a group, they'll always be special. |
Over the past three years or so, it's really become a good rivalry. They've had a good team and we've had a good team. And we've played some good games. (Tonight) I think at first we were both trying to feel each other out. It made for a low-scoring game. We like to play faster, but under control. At times we got out of control. |
Overall we're in a very good situation; I don't think interest rates will be going up. Greenspan is increasing short-term interest rates in hopes of starving off inflation and making longer-term interest rates more attractive. This is still an unbelievable situation. We have a buyers' market with historically low interest rates. |
Ozzie certainly made it an interesting train ride. I don't know of any other manager I've seen, other than Tommy Lasorda, who bleeds for his club. He feels this is his family and his team. I don't think anyone can think Ozzie isn't a serious manager anymore. He's going to continue to say stuff. But Ozzie is a great baseball man. |
Passion recordings exist to glorify God, uniting students in worship and prayer for spiritual awakening in this generation. The hope is that with Passion: Everything Glorious students will continue to be encouraged by the messages of Passion 06 and use these messages to motivate change on their campuses and in their communities. |
People are really emotional about their pets and love to talk about them. We have a really intensive e-mail marketing program already. We thought it would be great to take some of the comments [from customers who are] having great success with products and get them into the hands of people who don't come to the Web site [often]. |
People are really excited, and they should be. It's great for the city and great for the fans who have waited so many years. We've brought this little smile back to their faces. They feel proud about this team because there have been a lot of disappointing years in the past and a lot of negativity about us and this organization. |
People are taking notice. At the start of the season, before I was here, the lads said that the main objective was to stay up. But now people are talking about getting promoted. We're not going to blow our own trumpet, we will let other people do the talking. There's no pressure on us but we are going about things the right way. |
People aren't afraid of their desktop computers anymore, but there's a new technology, and that's networks. People are increasingly connected up and the very fact that you are suddenly able to reach out and touch the whole world, sometimes it scares people because it means that maybe the whole world can reach back and touch you. |
People around here talk about it being one of the better weeks [in the history of the program]. But the week they signed Chamberlain -- that was pretty good, and the week they signed Manning, that was good too, even if they didn't sign anybody else. We're certainly excited about it, but [the new recruits] still have to perform. |
People don't understand that a lot of stuff he's done and the reason he plays so hard and is so hungry is because he wants to be great. I think a lot of time Ron gets frustrated because he knows he's better than what he's been playing. He wants to be the best player in the game. That's what drives him, that's what motivates him. |
