We had some pretty good at-bats off [Carpenter]. We just couldn't find any holes. That's the way it goes sometimes. We were able to get some guys on but weren't able to get them in early. We did some little things right, we got some guys on, we got some walks. We take it one batter at a time and everybody tries to stay within their own limitations. We did that, we just didn't get the big hit to get them in. |
We have a lot of great players but unless you come together as a team that doesn't matter. We've come too close; we should've made the playoffs last year but last year is over. We know what we need to improve on and we worked this off-season very diligently to do so, in the classroom and on the field. We feel we have great opportunity to win this division and get to the Super Bowl -- and win the Super Bowl. |
We have a new course with a wide new finish line because we have outgrown our previous location across from Dolphin Village in the County Park. The race will start and end in the Corey Ave. / Blind Pass Road area. We have an outstanding venue, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and ideal weather. The race and fitness expo is a chance to showcase the area and give something back to the community. |
We have always believed that the longer this jury deliberates, the greater the chance of no verdict. We also believe that if this trial ends in a hung jury, there will not be a third trial. All of this would be especially positive for Tenet, as they would be able to start recruiting doctors more aggressively and volumes at the company may improve. Maybe -- just maybe -- it is getting closer to this outcome. |
We played well, we played well enough to win the game. Down the stretch we allowed them to get second chance shots. We allowed them to hit three pointers and get back into the game. Against a team like that who's so dangerous offensively we've got to step up and make plays, and on the offensive end we did. On the defensive end we broke down and second chance points and three pointers and rebounds killed us. |
We recognize the importance of the cash dividend to our stockholders, and we remain committed to rewarding them for their support, ... At the same time, the current weak economic environment and the uncertain outlook are having significant industry-wide effects on revenue, negatively affecting our overall performance. Therefore, the board believes it prudent to reduce the dividend rate for the time being. |
We still have a long way to go. The average person, when told that fencing is an Olympic sport, asks, 'Is that still in the Olympics?' It's been in every Olympics there has ever been in the modern age. There's fencing in every summer Olympics and it never gets televised. There's no fencer who is a household name. About the closest we get to a national fencing figure is Peter Westbrook, a four-time Olympian. |
We went out with a call and said that we'd be cautious about buying the stock in the low 30s, because there's another shoe to drop. And in fact, that shoe dropped last night. We now view the story as being relatively clean. And I think they now have a base upon which they can build for the long-term. It's important to understand that the opportunity set for Dell longer term really has not changed very much. |
We were [in good position to win], but we came out a little sluggish [in the second half], but we'll do much better next time. Phoenix came out ready to play and they out shot us. We scored enough to win, we shot well, but our defense was suspect. I just think we'll do better next time. We made a couple of mistakes, but I know next time we'll be ready. It's not that disappointing because we should have won. |
We were not exactly on the cutting edge of that technology. We waited until it was pretty well proven and perfected before we went with it. It's a real good crime prevention tool because we can eliminate the middleman, the dispatcher. If a deputy wanted to check a tag, he had to go over the radio and get in line because that dispatcher is handling other requests and it might take a few minutes to run a tag. |

We worked hard the last couple years to try and help him recover from a gruesome ankle injury, develop consistency and mature on the field and off the field, and he's made tremendous progress. We're really proud of how far he came to have the year he had last year and we're hopeful he can build upon that and continue to grow into a better major league player. He'll be a big part of what we do going forward. |
We're going to go to San Antonio and set up our operations. The players will have a few days off to try to deal with their families, deal with their situations at home and try to get their families to San Antonio, and then we'll go to work next week to prepare for the season. We're talking to the league office and looking at conflict dates with certain sites, and trying to figure out what we're going to do. |
We're in preliminary discussions already with the administration on when that money will be needed, when will it be considered by the Senate, when the request will be submitted, ... These are issues that we are working hard to resolve to be sure that federal agencies, agencies that have the responsibility of responding to this disaster, have the funds they need to do it and do it right and to do it quickly. |
We're living in the modern age now. I call it the Year of the Matrix. Back in the day, you had these mixed-tape circuits where if you wanted to get (unreleased) music to your fans, you could go through DJs. Now all our fans have to do is go to their phones, and they'll be the first ones to hear something. And we're not talking about a ring tone here. We're talking about downloading a whole song, or a video. |
