Our goal at BLOCKBUSTER Online is to see that our subscribers get their highest ranked movie selections as often as possible. Additionally, our subscribers receive one free in-store movie rental each week, so they can watch the DVDs they received through the mail or easily satisfy last-minute movie impulses with a trip to the nearest Blockbuster store. |
Our plans for demutualisation are at an advanced stage. Before proceeding, the company must assure itself that there are unlikely to be major concerns on the part of our regulator or the independent expert who must report to the courts. To that end, we are engaged in regular, full and open discussions about all aspects of the demutualisation programme. |
Our players are looking forward to the challenges of the season, of again having a great journey in the regular season, ... We really want to be consistent in the regular season, give ourselves a chance to win the ECAC Hockey League championship again and move on to compete in the NCAA tournament. Our goals haven't changed at all from previous seasons. |
Our research is part of a larger trend where researchers are seeking to replace older 'ablative' surgical techniques. These old methods, while bringing relief from a variety of debilitating diseases, also permanently destroy nerve circuits. Our hope is to use non-destructive procedures like DBS as a therapeutic approach for these devastating disorders. |
Our strong first quarter results and guidance for sequentially higher daily shipments and gross margin for the second quarter provide more evidence of the progress Fairchild is making at improving the quality of our business. I'm personally excited to be part of this great team and to help lead the powerful transformation that is underway at Fairchild. |
Our study documents a knowledge gap between racial/ethnic minorities and whites regarding stroke warning signs. It is paradoxical that racial and ethnic minorities at highest risk were least aware. As with heart attack, it is critical that women at risk for stroke know the warning signs because delayed treatment can lead to greater disability or death. |
Our undoing was in the first half. I thought we played really well, really hard and really together. It's hard to dig yourself out of that big of a hole. We have to learn something from the last two games. We got fortunate in Chicago because we were able to pull it out when we played a poor first half. But we weren't able to get over the hump (Monday). |
Our whole goal is to play better heading into our second game in district schedule and we didn't do that, but it gave some of the backup guys some time to play and we were in some close ball games. You can only practice and simulate that a few times. There's no substitute for that. Hopefully this can be something we can learn from as we start district. |
Our work site had been coned off and there were right-lane closure signs and cones. Safety is always our first concern on these sites. We have highway work all over the state and we take great care to make sure the workers are protected. ... Typically, you hear a squeal of brakes or something, but it just came right through the work zone and the cones. |
Overall we did a pretty decent job today. We played well defensively. Our two errors were throwing errors on relay plays. They were nothing really major. Our pitchers did a nice job. We don't have a pitching staff that will get a lot of strikeouts. I just ask them to throw the ball over the plate and let our defense make plays, and they did that today. |
PABP validation isn't yet a requirement by Visa, but we expect it will be sometime in 2006. Mercury is taking the lead with our developer partners to help them stay ahead of the curve as security standards continue to evolve. This 50 percent discount will help our developers overcome the cost barrier and do what's in everyone's best business interests. |
People are generally pretty good at keeping track of things they write a check for but they're a little sloppier with the $5 they put in the collection basket at church or give to the organization on the street. A lot of people also fail to keep track of non-cash donations. They drop things off at Goodwill without making an inventory of what they gave. |
People do not realize how hard Williamson punches, ... He had a great game plan. He has great height and reach. I just cannot run out there and hit Williamson because he hits too hard. Everyone has bad fights. I have tried to put on a better performance in my last couple of fights. But, I am just a counter puncher, and Williamson just sticks and moves. |
People have a knee-jerk reaction when they hear that. They say I'm blaming the victims. I'm not blaming the victims, but I am saying that they are the ones who have the problem. Bullies don't have the problem. They aren't the ones committing suicide and shooting up schools. Those are the victims, and those are the ones whose behavior we need to change. |
People have discovered that systems administrators have unfettered access to all the most private information being passed through their systems, ... With it comes a sense that there ought to be some controls on what they see and what they do with it. [However,] I have not yet seen any consensus on what they are going to do about these new discoveries. |
