[2. SQUAT PRESS TO THROW WITH MEDICINE BALL Holding a 14-pound ball, Crawford squats, then jumps straight up while throwing the ball upward. He does it five times and then switches to a six-pound ball for three more throws. Three sets.] This works almost everything from your legs to your core to your shoulder muscles, ... If we do this inside, we see who can hit the ceiling with the medicine balls. I usually come close. |
[Many hedge funds do not have a public relations operation geared toward answering such questions raised by outsiders. Would Mr. Cooperman have taken a call about Mr. Israel's credentials from a prospective investor in the Bayou funds?] I can't answer that, ... If somebody calls me for a reference check, I will respond factually and appropriately. But certain firms are very cautious about talking about former employees. |
[NOTES: Rutgers opens the preseason on Nov. 12 at Bucknell and the regular season Nov. 20 at home against Austin Peay... .Waters said that 6-10 freshman forward/center Zack Gibson, one of seven frontcourt players, could be red-shirted.] That's a feasibility, ... The positive thing is that the NCAA has a new rule in effect, and that new rule is you can play them in the two exhibition games and make a decision after that. |
[People may isolate themselves even more than usual or withdraw from favorite activities. Or the opposite may be true.] A lot of times, people will try harder, will do more. They'll spend longer hours doing something involved with the farming (thinking) if I just try harder, it's going to turn out OK, ... One risk we run when people work longer hours is a greater chance of injury, maybe taking risks they shouldn't take. |
[Playing just his second game in a Georgetown Prep uniform, Dowtin has already emerged as a star for the Little Hoyas. He finished with a game-high 131 yards rushing on eight carries.] Brings me back to when I was blocking for guys like Rice Moss and Marcus Mason and Joe Fuccillo and stuff like that you know, ... It's just a great honor to block for a guy who's going to give twice as much effort trying to get downfield. |
[Since last year's inaugural season, not only has the number of roller hockey teams doubled, but each team's schedule has also expanded from eight games to 22, and attendance figures continue to rise. What's more, the team names, which include the Atlanta Fire Ants, have grown ever more exotic. Why cheetahs in Chicago?] Cheetahs are fast, ... They run 70 miles an hour, and our jersey numbers happen to start in the 70's. |
[That's why a tax-reform commission appointed by President Bush is looking for a way to repeal the dreaded tax. Yet the panel, which is due to complete its work Nov. 1, is coming to grips with a much tougher question: In an era of already-big federal budget deficits, how will it make up the money the Treasury will lose if the AMT is repealed.] We have a concept of where we want to go, ... We just don't have the details. |
[The United States is unprepared for the next flu pandemic, lacking the manufacturing capacity to provide 300 million doses of a vaccine for three to five more years, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said.] What we all learned from (Hurricane) Katrina is that sometimes we have to think very clearly about the unthinkable, ... We're not as prepared as we need to be. ...We will not have enough for everyone. |
[Web advertisements will not eclipse print and broadcast ads anytime soon. But at a time when blanket ad purchases seem ready to decline in tandem with box office receipts, studios may look more and more to the Internet to find audiences.] It's the opposite of buying a spread in a newspaper or a slew of 30-second slots on TV, ... Studios need to stop trying to reach the most people and focus on reaching the best people. |
Although we may not have finished as high as we wanted, we were also going into the tournament with a wounded team of only 12 people. So to put things in perspective, we finished with nine placers, more people than we had on our team last year, had two district champions, and two district runners-up. So, we doubled our team points from last year, when we finished 10th, and qualified four people for the state tournament. |
Anyone who would say it's worse than it was before isn't being realistic. Before you could run around without the glare of the spotlight on you when you were conducting your search. Now at least you can't do that. You are going to draw attention. Some situations are going to have some uniqueness, but I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and say the whole initiative if flawed. It's too early to say that. |
Attorneys and other professionals paid for billable time have told us that speaking to a client on a mobile phone typically involves recording the details of the call on scraps of paper that are often lost or inaccurate. Until now, there was no easy way for attorneys and others to track mobile calls or audit time spent using a mobile phone to speak with a client. This causes inefficiencies and potentially lost revenues. |

Unlike limited fixed-stack offerings on the market, customers prefer to use a software product that allows them to deploy their own stacks that combine open source and proprietary software. |
Basically, it takes the best player who's on form to win this tournament. The conditions here, maybe, make more difference than at a lot of places. When it gets a little firmer, the second shots become probably the toughest on Tour because the greens are very small and there's only certain areas where you can go with your second shots. In that regard, it doesn't matter longer or shorter hitter. Accuracy is at a premium. |
