The guys in the PC industry realized that the enterprise market flattened out and that the next true growth market is going to be consumers. Steve Jobs, to his credit, declared early that the Mac was going to be the hub of the digital lifestyle, and it's a strategy Apple has pursued aggressively and with no apologies since then. |
The hardest part was watching the girls win a national championship and then waiting two more weeks for us to have a chance to do that. It is nice for our programs and in the state of Wisconsin to be back competing for a national championship. It is something we work for all year. It is hard work and dedication that got us here. |

The improvement in 2005 from 2004 is attributable to extensions and discoveries from our legacy projects in Qatar, the United States and the Asia Pacific region, as well as our re-entry into Libya and our increased equity ownership in LUKOIL. We remain committed to replacing reserves at competitive finding and development costs. |

The interception was a big play, but I still thought he did good for his first time out. We have to do some other things better around him. Even with all that, I thought we were in great shape in the fourth quarter. We were in position to at least be able to get a field goal - and the three penalties really knocked us out of it. |
The manufacturing sector has turned the corner and improved, but it is not likely to push the economy to a level of growth that will make policy makers nervous or financial markets nervous [about higher interest rates]. It's steady growth, which is better than rapid growth that would likely be snuffed out by the Federal Reserve. |
The market-leading flexibility of the KALIDO enterprise data warehousing and master data management software is based on the technology covered in this patent. The additional distinction of having our technology US-patented further bolsters the uniqueness of our software a claim that was first validated by the UK-patent in 2003. |
The more you look around the NCAA Tournament, you see a lot of teams that had a lot of success and had a lot of trouble sustaining it. One of the things I'm happiest about is that we've been able to sustain it. Ultimately, that's going to be whether or not you were great. We've been able to do that. That's a long time, 13 years. |
The most buzz or conversations about TV shows are about the actors associated with these projects. NBC shows have the lion's share of the conversation. This is a good time for them. They've created shows and stars that people are interested in, which is a good sign that they will get some sampling when they premiere these shows. |
The most important thing I will be doing this year, other than the listening tour, is to begin strategic planning. In effect, I am asking each school, typically working with alumni, students and administrators, to focus hard on where we are going. Not just where we want to be a year from now, but what are the real stretch goals? |
The only thing I would say is, sometimes when programs change coaches, he may have some other ideas about who he wants to play. But I don't think they do (want to play someone else). So right now, as we stand today, that's when the games are scheduled. And then you would take the (conference) teams we had last year, but at home. |
The only thing which has kept Mac OS X relatively safe up until now is the fact that the market share is significantly lower than that of Microsoft Windows or the more common UNIX platforms. If this situation was to change, in my opinion, things could be a lot worse on Mac OS X than they currently are on other operating systems. |
The only way it?s bad for the game is if a guy is falsely accused. That?s bad. To be thought lesser than your talent, lesser than what you deserve to get credit for because of what somebody wrote, that?s the greatest travesty. That?s why you should hold onto people?s words as long as you can, until you absolutely know the truth. |
The Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am is a very strong tournament that got even stronger with today's news. Outback has been very innovative and creative since coming on board as a Champions Tour title sponsor in 2004. We are very excited about this extension through 2010 and adding yet another tournament to our lineup of events on NBC. |
