[They have] bright management, they are cost conscious, they're lowering the costs all the time. They want to be able to survive in between cycles. They're in what would be a very significant well, could be a billion barrel prospect within the next couple of months. My feeling is that the company will do much better as Wall Street gets to know it, |

(General manager Kevin Towers) told me that I would start unless something fell into his lap, and Piazza will help this team. I'm just surprised that he couldn't find work in the American League (where he could be used as a designated hitter). Getting a hitter like Piazza for what? - $1.25 million a year (plus incentives)? You can't turn that down. |
(Moore) has an unbelievably tough job because he's an inside linebacker, so he's in on almost every play, and he's played a lot at fullback so he's taken a beating there. He's been quietly plugging away, but he's also a difference-maker. He's made big plays every game on both sides of the ball. He's extremely fast, and just a great football player. |
[A long friendship with Milton Glaser resulted in another intense collaboration.] We used to sit together and have long conversations, even though he did not speak English and I do not speak French, ... so we decided to celebrate our misunderstanding and do a book together. The book is a back and forth continuous tableau titled 'The Conversation.' |
[And there are other options to the banner ad.] Forbes seems to be making money through sponsorship instead of banner ads -- they seem to be having success by thinking outside the box, literally in this case, ... The other whole area is making deals with the big portals where you buy exclusivity on certain amounts of pages. But it's very expensive. |
[Appearing Sunday on CNN's] Reliable Sources, ... I tried to get a deal a year ago. I spoke to Mr. Fitzgerald, the prosecutor, and he did not agree at that time to something that he later did agree to, which was to limit the scope of the questions he would ask, so as to assure that the only source he would effectively be asking about was Mr. Libby. |
[Certainly, Silver is outraged.] As the assembly member representing the Lower Manhattan community that continues to struggle . . . I was outraged by your recent suggestion that we abandon efforts to commercially rebuild, ... Your new position will undoubtedly hurt efforts to re-establish the Lower Manhattan community as a strong commercial center. |
[Despite the wayfarer's despondent themes, the symphony ultimately is a journey of triumph. It starts with the nothing less than the dawn of creation, depicted by an amorphous seven-octave A, the note to which orchestras tune.] It is the tuning of the universe, ... It's as if at the beginning of the symphony God turns up the volume just a tiny bit. |
[Environmentalist radicals see doom ahead. But even the suits of Big Oil agree on the underlying facts:] Simply put, the era of easy access to energy is over, ... We are experiencing the convergence of geological difficulty with geopolitical instability. . . . The time when we could count on cheap oil and even cheaper natural gas is clearly ending. |
[Friday] we just didn't really produce runs, we played decent defense but we came out a little bit flatter than usual and that might have had something to do with how we've been doing the past couple of weekends, getting down and not feeling confident. Once we lost to them, it was a kick in the butt and we came back with fire in the last two games. |
[Girls should know that] a little bit of dissatisfaction (with body image) is normal, ... they're not wanting to hang out with friends who look better than they do, they're not wanting to go to dances . . . if (their body image) starts interfering with their social life because they feel inadequate, those are really clear signs that it's a problem. |
[Marcelo told her,] Ma'am, I'm supposed to tell you after you see the photographs that General Sanchez wants to see you in his office. ... before I even saw the photographs, I was preparing words to say in a press conference - to be up front, to be honest about this, that an investigation is ongoing and there are some allegations of detainee abuse. |
[Miami, Florida-based Attorney Jack Thompson has once again called for a game to be given an Adults Only rating by the ESRB. Thompson says that if the ESRB does not rate the upcoming Xbox/PS2 game The Warriors , which is set for release later this year, AO, he will take action.] I intend to make the ESRB do its job for a change, ... Do it, or else. |
