It was a super trip all the way around. He broke so well, and put himself in perfect position. I felt comfortable every step of the way. Other horses would come to him, and he would just take off again ... a really nice ride, and he did it easy, and that's the scary part. Turning for home, I hit him to get his mind on business, but he was just waiting for me to tell him what to do. There is plenty left in that tank. |
It was crazy to see all that black and orange. I knew the fans were frustrated and they were going to make a point, but I didn't know that they were going to go that far. Basically, the orange and black dominated the stadium. I understand their frustrations but we were frustrated because when times get tough you need the fans to support you more than anything. We needed the fans to support us in that last home game. |
It was very impressive of Van Heeswijk. He bridged back to the peloton all by himself after his puncture and still had strength left over for the sprint, even though the pace was high towards the end of the stage. Christian Vande Velde crashed during the final descent, but he wasn't seriously hurt and managed to finish in the main peloton, while Linus Gerdemann lost some time because he's suffering from a back ache. |
It's been an unusual year for Kentucky's labor market. Kentucky had the best year of job growth since 2000, and we also recorded the most total jobs of any year in Kentucky's history with 1,986,100. But, the state's annual unemployment rate went up 0.6 percentage points from 2004 to 2005. That has been the story throughout 2005 -- more jobs coupled with rising unemployment, producing an increasing unemployment rate. |
It's counterintuitive to think that 'better' and 'less expensive' go together, but sometimes that's true in health care and the implications are significant. To health plans it means that you can save money by improving quality. To employers it means that you've got to look at more than premiums to decide which plan is the best value. The Quality Dividend Calculator is a tool that shows users the 'real' bottom line. |

It's estimated that 80 to 85 percent of all people currently eligible for EITC do apply for it. The reason we do this tool kit is not only to help employers provide better information to the 15 to 20 percent who are not applying for it. But, also this year, we're using it as a platform to publicize and connect employers to other federally sponsored public benefits that meet the same eligibility requirements as EITC. |
It's hard for me to answer that, because I didn't have anything to do with the class. Jim was told he had to offer a final, but it didn't have an effect on anyone's grade. So his guest lecturer and some of the assistants had fun with it. You can say that was wrong, but it was not anything fraudulent. Fraudulent is when you do somebody else's paper or tutors write them and things like that. That just wasn't the case. |
It's hurting me that Eddy's now saying that we didn't care about him, ... It's painful because Eddy's a good guy. We were trying to do the right thing for him, and for us, but more for him. As time went on, people were trying to get in the middle of it or trying to convince him we were trying not to do right by him. And reading his comments now, I really do get the feeling that that he believes that we betrayed him. |
It's really interesting how a tiny little shell from a sea creature living millions of years ago can tell us so much about past ocean conditions. We can tell approximately what the temperature was at the bottom of the ocean. We also have an approximate measure of the nutrient content of the water the creature lived in. And, when we have information from several locations, we can tell the direction of ocean currents. |
It's taken away from hockey. That wasn't hockey today, in my opinion. That was power play and penalty kill. And it brought me back to last Olympics, when it was no rhythm. It was power play and penalty kill. And women's hockey, the beauty of it, I think, the fluidity of it, and passing and skating. When you have power play and penalty kill, that's all systems ... so we haven't had that much opportunity to work that. |
It's the difference between having some presence and no presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, ... When our standings are in the paper every day there and Dallas-area talk shows say, 'TCU won against BYU in a Mountain West game today,' I'll take that as a glass half-full approach. Maybe what is a 10 to 12 percent (television) interest jumps to 15 or 18 percent right away and then CSTV explodes on the scene in 2006. |
It's the most important energy project in the history of Long Island because for the first time, Long Island will become part of the national energy grid, and for the first time, we'll be able to import power from the south, where it's a heck of a lot cheaper. It's important for the reliability of the system as well. When this is online two summers from now, it will have a significant impact on our customers' bills. |
Joining the military was never a dream for Scott, it was just something he wanted to do and he simply walked in the recruiting office and told them he wanted the Marines, and he wanted infantry. That was the way Scott did everything. If he was going to do something he would always do it to win and he always liked a challenge. That is why he picked the Marines and the infantry. That was the biggest challenge for him. |
Last night, Apple pre-announced a massive shortfall in expected revenue for the current quarter as well as for the remainder of the fiscal year. This does not come as a surprise to us, although the magnitude of the shortfall surpassed even our low expectations, ... We believe it is important to note that we have been much more negative regarding the Apple story than the Street consensus over the past several months. |
