They had a team meeting which was at the right time by the right people. And what was said in that room stays in that room amongst the players. But at the end of the day what came out is: 'We're playing for each other.' I think that had a dramatic impact in that the players took over the team as they should. And they have not let each other down. |
They have an impact in the sense that those who'd like to assume that 9/11 was a unique episode will now have to recognize that this is an ongoing project, ... We are a long ways from taking care of the problem and it will flare up in different places, in different forms and we'll have to use all the means at our disposal -- including preemption. |
They will begin an initiative on Monday in securing a date to have the first of what we call the beginning of our rapid response effort. They will learn about all the work force initiatives, human service and support initiatives, education and training programs that we can make available to the folks that are going to be affected by that closure. |
They're probably one of the best shooting teams in the league. They usually hit a lot of those shots that they were missing. We try to take a couple things away. Take a couple guys out of their sweet spots. Still, they've got guys that can knock it down. So we haven't seen their best punch yet. But I don't think they've seen our best yet, either. |
They've always been hard hitters and they are well coached. We have to be on our best game. We can't take them for granted. They wouldn't be in the Top 10 if they weren't a good team. They are improving steadily. They don't have the size we have, but we have a 260-mile trip and it is about 8,000 feet in elevation. We have our work cut out for us. |
This area is front and center with pretty much everybody, especially in the high-tech industry, where you have quick product model revisions. Being able to ramp them very quickly into high volume and being able to step on the brake very quickly require demand and supply forecasting processes as well as replenishment processes to be best-in-class. |
This band really has to be seen to be heard, if that makes any sense. One of our favorite things to do on this entire planet is to walk into a new market with a stone-cold audience who doesn't know quite what to expect and watch faces turn from sort of quizzical disdain to smiles. They may even be singing along with a chorus or two after a while. |
This is an extraordinary day for this league. We have collectively agreed on a system that will provide our fans with the assurance that each and every team can compete on a level playing field year in and year out. The new salary management system provides all member clubs with greater financial stability through the mechanism of cost certainty. |
This is new territory for us. I always wondered what it would be like to be here and now we're here. It's all new even for me in trying to think about how to go about our season. We'll try and keep our focus and keep trying to improve. We want to be No 1 at the end of the season. It's a realistic goal in our division, in the state, in our league. |
This president is not the esteemed public figure he was four years ago when he had considerable capital and high job-approval ratings and was able to leverage that into success in the mid-term elections. Now he's in reduced circumstances politically, but that doesn't mean you abandon the field and give up trying to help candidates and your party. |
This program is a great success. Together with the GSMA and our mobile operator partners, we are enabling over 31,000 new consumers to experience mobile connectivity every single day. This is powerful, not only for the consumers whose lives it is changing, but also for global economies, for our own business and for the mobile industry as a whole. |
This time of year, it's all about delivering for the customers. We contract with a number of temp agencies to provide us with seasonal help. People are screened by the temp agencies and hired by them if qualified. It doesn't bother me that a very capable worker like Jamie spent a day working at Amazon helping us meet our commitments to customers. |
This was premeditated, ... It's part of what we're calling multiplatform mania. The idea is to attack viewers from a number of different platforms so we can get behind the talent in a 360-degree way. People get their media and entertainment now from so many different places -- for us, this is a great way to market and build awareness for someone. |
This year is completely different. He has some back issues and some hamstring issues. His last month was not of the caliber that the first five months were. He was not in the same physical condition. He's a phenomenal physical specimen, but he's also a human being. There are things that happen through the course of time that nobody can stave off. |
Those two games down there definitely helped. It was good to go out there, because you have to test it in a game situation. When you get into this environment, you can't simulate the game. And if I test it here and have a setback, that kind of hurts the team as well. So I didn't want to do that. It's not 100 percent, but I didn't expect it to be. |
