Twenty-two percent gross margins mean that Apple gets more money per machine they sell. That's good. The other thing is that the operating expenses are substantially reduced. That means that the overhead involved in selling the machines has gone down substantially which reduces the break-even point for the company. |
Two things happened that put Lab out ahead. First, Darrell Paul picked up three quick fouls in the first half and had to sit out the entire third period. With him out of the lineup, the tall Lab front line dominated the boards. They had twenty-two offensive rebounds and scored a lot of their points on second shots. |
Typically if I take [a buyer] out to a property and we get stood up by the tenant, that reflects badly on me and I may lose that buyer. But if that buyer has told me 'look, Tim, don't worry about these kinds of things,' then I have permission to attack those sorts of problems and they can result in a very good buy. |
Understanding how to better develop software that is free from security defects is fundamental. Only by collaboration between top thinkers representing all stakeholders can we solve this problem. The Secure Software Forum is a tremendous step towards that solution and ISSA is excited to be supporting these efforts. |
Unfortunately a couple of calls didn't go our way and we lose again. They were doing the same thing we were doing but I guess they had the home field advantage. I don't know what else to say. It is frustrating, week in week out you play well one week and the next you don't get the best performance that you can get. |
Unless you're around something like that, you don't really realize the devastation that they are going through. These people are suffering and we are going to try to do, here at Auburn, as much as we can. We've got a few plans and I'm sure the SEC will do something as a whole. But it's going to take more than that. |
Usually the second quarter is typically a weak period [for the semiconductor sector], and I would expect to see a lot of the stock prices kind of trading sideways in the second quarter. Maybe we'll see a few of the bigger, maybe stronger cap companies moving up. But in general, the second quarter is typically weak. |
Visual imagery involves a much more primitive part of our brain, a monitoring system to sense danger. The trouble with this story is that it's not in a resolution stage yet, things are just getting worse. Usually, when we're anxious, we seek information to reduce anxiety, but in this case, we're just increasing it. |
Volunteers really are the heart and soul of our communities, but many potential volunteers think that opportunities to become involved are not open to them, or that red tape is standing in their way. This strategy is all about removing barriers, so that anyone who wants to volunteer can feel empowered to take part. |
Warfare in the 21st century is far less deadly than it was half a century ago. The wars that dominated the headlines of the 1990s were real -- and brutal -- enough. But the global media have largely ignored the 100-odd conflicts that have quietly ended since 1988. During this period, more wars stopped than started. |
We actually sat together, the four of us, and talked a little bit about, generally speaking, the kind of threats that occur to officers of the court, in situations like this. And the odd thing about it was, Judge Barnes actually said that he thought that the people usually most in danger were the defense attorneys. |
We already had the team title won and we were ready to call it a night, but he went out and attacked the race. I think he was about 10 meters down with about 60 to go and he caught the kid at the finish line. I think the great thing is we're just starting to scratch the surface with his competitive spirit in races. |
We applaud the efforts of Best Buy in helping to relieve some of the burden of recycling the unprecedented amount of electronic waste generated by Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi Coast. While recycling electronic waste takes more time and labor, this effort is about protecting human health and the environment. |
We are a high-stress population. The bungalow is a wonderful place to insulate oneself from external energy and to be with your family in an environment that is restful to the eyes and harmonious. I think that is the attraction — that the bungalow gives retreat from daily life that is increasingly more complicated. |
