I'm sick of gas prices. It's not effecting us (his organization). We just did the West Virginia State Fair, and if I'd have been a new artist that would have been $1,000 dollars in bus fuel to go up there and do that gig and back. And, some of these newer acts they get $5,000 to play a show and they're not going to make it unless they (can) pay their band and you can't tour with that. |
I've been told by some people if we lose a game I should be fired. If I'm on someone's dart board to take away pressure from the kids, so be it. The hardest thing right now is keeping them focused and not believing all the press. At the same time, none of us have to apologize for having a successful program. These guys work their butts off year-round on the field and in the classroom. |
I've been watching Ryan for a long time. With his skill level, if he's in the right frame of mind, he can make every shot, and that's what we're looking for. I look for what you can see in their eyes -- the rest you can teach -- but you like to see that they are fired up. And B.J.'s history and due diligence about everything make him a great player. He eats, sleeps and drinks curling. |
I've often said the greatest equalizer in college basketball is the 3-point line. They outscored us by 12 from the 3-point line. Our inability to limit them to one shot and inability to guard the 3-point line cost us. Anytime a team can come into your building and shoot 53 percent from the field and 47 percent from the 3-point line, you have to have a very, very good night on offense. |
If you think of the old days of investigation, your evidence might be in a filing cabinet, and you would have to search through each file and piece of paper. Today, those filing cabinets are filled with digital information, and it's a very different process to sort through them. We have to totally change the way we think about collecting evidence -- you can't interrogate a hard drive. |
If you want to understand what drives Cisco, look at our approach to customers. The manner in which we serve our customers defines our company values and demonstrates our priorities. Cisco is proud to be honored with this important certification that recognizes the foundation of our culture -- the importance that we place on ensuring our customers are successful with Cisco technology. |
If you're sitting with a customer hoping to do a $5 million deal, you might discover the customer is already in the hole to McKesson for $20 million and 120 days. The flip side is if you are presenting to a division of a large customer and the deal doesn't look like it's terribly much. Then you see that customer does lots of business overall with McKesson. It makes all the difference. |
If your life, or the life of someone you love, is hanging in the balance, of course you would withstand any amount of abuse to get the job done and to get the life saved. Of course, you have to be convinced that person knows what they're doing. In real life, you have no way of knowing that you're dealing with the best person for the job. It's only on television that you can know that. |
In 2005, we executed a dynamic drilling program, posted a 16.2 percent daily production increase, achieved a 35.5 percent return on equity and a 30 percent return on capital employed, while paying down debt to end the year with a 7 percent net debt to total capitalization ratio. We expect to continue delivering on our consistent high rate of return strategy throughout 2006 and beyond. |
In spite of their great number, tremendous work ethic and sheer presence, they remain virtually isolated from many of the activities of our town. They, together with the other ethnic groups that make up our dynamic population, make up over half of our society. This, my friends, is a true and real silent majority that can add positively to our way of life and our collective prosperity. |
In that locker room, if you were in there, you got a sense of how the team was hurt. You get a sense that we are not giving up, and that's something big. I think that is something the fans really need to know ? that we might have lost this game and things aren't looking too bright for us right now, but we're not giving up and that's just pretty much the mind-set of the team right now. |
In today's increasingly fast-paced, security-focused world, Sprint is dedicated to providing U.S. government agencies with access to secure, reliable communications when they need it, wherever they need it. These enhancements provide a tangible, affordable way for federal agencies to keep connected in a secure manner in order to perform their jobs and meet their critical requirements. |
In Tokyo, Japanese officials are calling ambassadors of countries which voted against or in abstention the resolution on Nov. 17 and persuade them to vote yes this time. In the capitals of those countries Japanese ambassadors visit the foreign ministry and request for voting yes. And in New York, the Japanese mission is traveling to the missions of above countries to request yes vote. |
It has been a terrific experience for The SCOOTER Store team to ride in the BP MS 150 the past couple of years -- we appreciate the opportunity to get our team together for such a great cause and to support the local MS Chapter. This year will be especially rewarding as we have the opportunity to supply our mobility equipment for those in need right here in the Lone Star Chapter area. |
It has made a big impact on my perspective on life and on our culture. When you see a place like that -- Sudan isn't even a Third World country -- there is no power, no roads, no water. They've lived through cholera, malaria and AIDS is a big problem. Everybody who goes on a mission is changed is in some way. You think you go to help others, but we grow and God changes our own hearts. |
