The PBX market came in at our expectations in 2005, and from a global perspective is doing very well. Worldwide revenue growth accelerated in 2005, although it's mostly coming from EMEA, Asia Pacific and CALA. North America lost revenue share in 2005 as things slowed down here, showing just 4 percent revenue growth for the year. |
The person I heard say it the best was Bum Phillips when they asked him about Earl Campbell. He said, 'I don't know if he's the best, but it won't take long to call the roll.' I think Reggie White is a charter member of that club right there. He was as dominating and as good a player as probably anybody who ever played the game. |
The Peruvian economy, in macroeconomic terms, has performed very well in past years. It's been one of the top performers in Latin America with a very dynamic agricultural and mining, and now energy sector -- very oriented toward export-led growth and has attracted substantial foreign investment. So that's all been very positive. |
The plan outlined today is riddled with uncertainty for everyone: for those who are counting on a guaranteed benefit it would bring uncertainty by making Social Security's shortfall worse; for those who might hold a private account, it would bring uncertainty about how the accounts would be funded after the surplus is exhausted, |
The players have to have a medical and be assessed before they go, they have to be monitored when they are over there and tested when they come back. It's building a history of how does a player leave, how does he come back. But I don't have a great concern with them other than they come back weary, mentally weary from the game. |
The program is so unusual that it does capture their imagination. This is a new program, we have only done it for three years. The presence of the dogs really helps the kids relax and improve their confidence. Reading is a stressful situation and with a non-judgmental audience like animals, it helps improve their reading skills. |
The reality is that recidivism rates are low - which runs in the face of the notion of the super-predator that these laws are aimed at getting. But do people know that? Do people know that if they were to go to the library and look up the recidivism rates for these offenders, the highest they would see is somewhere in the teens? |
The reality is, just like with adult books, a big name makes for an easier booking. Any time you're booking an author for a four-and-a-half to five-minute segment, if you're dealing with someone who's done television or comes with a track record, they are a known quantity. They know they have to have a funny or a touching story. |
The reality of retail is that the busiest times are evenings and weekends in this market. We're trying to develop an optimal schedule that would best serve our customers. In order to ensure there are appropriate number of employees to serve those customers, we're asking associates that work daytime schedules to be more flexible. |
The recovery is going to take longer than anyone initially hoped for, and (Nokia) is the biggest name to warn so far. I think it was wishful thinking that the turn would happen overnight. But it's not a bad assumption to believe that things are going to get better -- it just takes time and maybe investors haven't been realistic. |
The relationship that Tony Blair has with Cherie Blair doesn't have an immediate binding effect on the body politic with Britain. But in the Elizabethan court, whoever was Elizabeth's lover rose to the most powerful political player in the court, became a multimillionaire, had the power to bestow land and status to other people. |

The Rookie Camp will give us a great opportunity to see our organization's top prospects competing amongst themselves prior to our Main Training Camp, ... These players are the future of our organization and several will have a chance to compete for positions on the Rangers in the very near future, including the upcoming season. |
The scale of digital radio take-up and the positive impact it appears to have upon listening behavior is potentially very good news for the radio industry. With Internet radio leading the way, the next question is about how broadcasters can best exploit the programming and advertising opportunities this new mass market presents. |
The scouting report was that they get most of their points in the paint. We didn't attack their shooters early, and we paid for it. When they were hitting early, we were missing some bunnies. . . . In all fairness, I think (Jones) played not to lose and just protect its lead (in the second half) and that played to our advantage. |
