It's a leading soft drink producer, but we feel that the real story there is in their salty snack business - brand names such as Lay's potato chips, Doritos, if you will. This is a segment of Pepsi's business that is growing very fast and has the highest margins and the real meaningful edge for Pepsi. If PepsiCo even gains a little bit of incremental market share going forward, that should be a very huge positive for the company, in that the salty snack portion of their business represents two-thirds of their profits. |
Keith's niece was doing makeup for the movie and invited me to the set. I fell in love with 'Our Very Own,' which comes out this fall, ... I told Keith I wanted to write a song for the movie. We got together in L.A. and in 20 minutes, it was done. I think 'Our Very Own' makes a great closer to 'Hearts in Mind.' The movie is set in the mid-1970s in Shelbyville, Tennessee during a massive depression that spread throughout rural America. It is a lovely study of that culture in that time. The words of the song say it all. |
Of course, the time to measure internal strengths and identify weaknesses is before an implementation gets underway. But it's never too late to take stock of how prepared your organization is. One manufacturer had already begun an ERP project and then decided to assess its architecture design. That assessment made apparent that there were large holes in original projections for budget and schedule. Fortunately, the company was able to address those shortcomings before they became debilitating, or cost the CIO his job. |
Our EC series is a software framework for creating custom applications without going through what you would normally have to do to make a custom application. Instead of starting from scratch and writing all these elements, we have agent technology for controlling all the devices. We have tools that generate a lot of the logic for you. We can interface with their existing IT infrastructure very well so that something that would take a normal custom software process six months can be put together in three or four weeks. |

The explosive growth in the size and quantity of databases is a well-known phenomenon in virtually every vertical industry. Making intelligent use of this data is now seen as a major part of companies' efforts to improve their operational efficiency; to better serve customers and partners; to develop, market and sell better products; and to stay on top of their regulatory and compliance requirements. SAND Technology's SAND/DNA reveals a unique and creative way to solve the problems endemic to data warehouse archiving. |
The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success. |

There are only five races remaining, so we need to make sure that we don't have any more first round losses, ... We certainly didn't do ourselves any favors at Indy. Qualifying will be really important at Reading. It has been known to be a one lane race track with a narrow groove. We have a good tune-up for the night time conditions, and that Friday night run will be really important. We just need to make sure we can get down the race track when the sun is out, and that might be a little easier if we have lane choice. |
There's no question that playing so close to Athens and the campus has its advantages for us. Travel is very time consuming and taxing physically, especially when you're juggling academic and athletic schedules, so we'll be able to avoid some of that and hopefully be fresher for the NCAA Regional and the NCAA Championships. We also hope these tournaments will give our supporters a chance to come out and watch us play. It means so much to the guys to look into the gallery and see someone wearing a Georgia cap or shirt. |
This has been one of the craziest weeks I have ever experienced as a coach. I had kidney stones last weekend so I missed two days of practice, so the kids were on their own. Then Chris Schneider (Fort Mill, S.C.) gets pneumonia early this week, and is in closed quarters for the entire week basically. To have our third-best score of the year is a remarkable achievement. They have shown great perseverance all year and to have a performance like this when it really counts is a testament to their character and commitment. |
To us, the high-resounding “isms” to which our contemporaries ask; us to give our allegiance, now, in 1948, are all equally futile: bound to be betrayed, defeated, and finally rejected by men at large, if containing anything really noble; bound to enjoy, for the time being, some sort of noisy success; if sufficiently vulgar, pretentious and soul-killing to appeal to the growing number of mechanically conditioned slaves that crawl about our planet, posing as free men; all destined to prove, ultimately, of no avail. |
