For example, Ireland is extremely competitive in their financial incentives to attract businesses and they have some of the top universities in the world as well. This grant makes Kentucky competitive in attracting businesses on a global scale, which is what is needed if we want to build a knowledge-based economy. |

For me, it's better to be out for a week or two weeks, than be out for three months. It doesn't feel as bad as what they say, but I've never had a groin injury, so I don't know how long it will be. I don't feel I'll be out that long, for some reason. I don't know. I have to wait to put my stuff on, see how I feel. |
For such a long time they dominated us, but over not only the last five or six years, but the last 10 years, it's been pretty equal. I think it's a bit insulting to them because soccer is the one and only sport in this country, and for us to beat them on a consistent basis, it's probably something they don't like. |

For the fourth quarter in a row, AT&T delivered strong earnings and met investors' expectations, ... We took aggressive action in 1998 to strategically reposition AT&T for the future. We will continue to build on that momentum this year, focusing on reducing costs, building top line revenues and investing to grow. |
For the seniors it's a tough farewell. They were looking to go a bit further. But they've got nothing to be ashamed of. They came ready to play and played hard. It's not what we wanted, but we had a great season. We have a lot to be proud of, but we also know we could have been there in Glens Falls just as easily. |
Frankly, we haven't seen an environment as extreme as we saw in 1999 and the first part of 2000 for some time. We have gone through quite an usual period, so hopefully our experience is reflective of the fact that we can perform in years in which our style is clearly not in vogue, and in years when it is in vogue. |
General Electric is using it in the subsidiary that makes generators. [The company wants] to put manuals online and make them available at the point of use. If you can let a technician high on a ladder behind a generator stay there rather than coming down to a desk to look at a CD-ROM, it translates to more money. |
George Tenet's CIA failed to track this terrorist, with tragic consequences, ... Coupled with Mr. Tenet's previous admission of responsibility for allowing misleading information into the president's State of the Union address, it is clear that we need to start over again with new leadership at the top of the CIA. |
Gilbert, Caron and myself have got it going offensively. We know that night in and night out that we can do it offensively, it's just that on the defensive end we have to really give the effort 100 percent and really make it tough on our opponents. Once we do that, we really put ourselves in position to win games. |
Given that some social processes must convey inherent constraints, the choice is among various mixtures of persuasion, force, and cultural inducement. The less of one, the more of the others. The degree of freedom that is possible is therefore tied to the extent to which people respond to persuasion or inducement. |
Given the obvious hardship of having illegal aliens flooding in, we also know they are critical to the functioning of the U.S. economy. To be turning our backs on people who want to work is kind of silly in an environment where you've got tight labor markets and we're getting older and need younger people to work. |
Greenspan led the markets to believe that the Fed's actions would be on hold until there was more than sufficient growth in the economy to warrant a change in monetary policy, ... In other words, there is still enough slack in the economy to leave rates at their current accommodative level for some months to come. |
He asks: When is the day of resurrection? / So when the sight becomes dazed, / And the moon becomes dark, / And the sun and the moon are brought together, / Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to? / By no means! there shall be no place of refuge! / With your Lord alone shall on that.day be the place of rest. |
