The role of the CFO is becoming much more visionary. It's an opportunity to do much more, recognizing that everybody is a resource. 'Counting beans' is [dealing with] historic information, and that's relevant to the extent that you can learn from it and do things better in the future. It's much more exciting to be looking forward. |
The Rube Goldberg demonstrations are always well-attended on campus because it's fun to see how complicated our engineering students can make even the most trivial of actions. Sometimes their inventions work great. It is a fun exercise in semi-futility that produces a lot of camaraderie among the students who build these machines. |
The saying goes, it's not bulls, not bears, but chickens who put their money in cash, they park it there and wait for better opportunities. So those chicken investors, and retirees and income investors, have reason to be thrilled about the rates, because for the first time in a while they're going to be paid decently to sit there. |
The season's over, but now's the time I can actually work on some stuff. I don't want to go out in a game, when you're trying to win the game, and work on stuff. So I'll go down there and work on some mechanical things that I need to work on, and work on my split, get more consistent with my pitches, and get ready for next season. |
The Shrine Auditorium is the perfect place for the 2006 Miss Universe Competition.

The thing about it is, we?re loose all season long and then when the playoffs come, we?re even more loose. People might not think that?s a good thing, but it?s a good thing for us. We try to stay loose. We still know the focus part and what that mental aspect is, but we like to be loose and get prepared in the way that we have to. |
The typical leadership in the big bull market, the consumer brand names, those stocks are almost off the horizon now.

The US should have pursued the war on terror more seriously. If they'd pinched the ears of Pakistan to make them do more when the war had started, we would not be in the situation we are now.

The women who used foundation to cover blemishes may have had a tougher time psychologically dealing with their blemishes than did the women who didn't use corrective makeup.

The young female wolverine we collared weighed about 19 pounds, and was in excellent health and condition. She hasn't had kits yet, and is probably just a year old.
