Gary was my partner side by side and has been an integral part in Canyon's successes in the past 27 years. Together we raised over $100,000,000 in equity and debt financing. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Gary for his 27 years of service with the Company and wish him the greatest success in the future. |
Genes are important because they are the blueprints for proteins, but proteins are where the action is in human life and health. This ability to find links between sets of proteins involved in different genetic disorders offers a novel approach for more rapidly identifying new candidate genes involved in human diseases. |
Gerry is a marked man. He gets face-guarded, he gets hit. That guy has to go through so much. Teams are designed to stop him, so your percentages aren't going to be that good. Gerry doesn't go to the foul line, so he gets his points off made baskets. If Gerry went to the foul line 10 times a game, what would he average? |
Getting picked to finish fourth or fifth in the ACC was like a slap in the face to us. That was based solely on teams having more talent than us, but that doesn't mean they're better than us. You can't look at what people had in the preseason anymore, though -- you have to evaluate teams on what they're doing right now. |
Given the slowing economic environment, 2001 will be a challenging year, particularly in the first half, ... We are very focused on delivering solid profit growth for the year...Income growth combined with our share repurchase program should allow us to achieve high single- to low double-digit earnings per share growth. |
Graduates go on to earn a very substantial earnings premium. Over their working life, the average graduate will earn over 100,000 pounds more than someone who just had A-levels. What's more, research by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development indicates this return is among the highest internationally. |

He and I have had conversations, and he's unsure at this point. We'll have another conversation. I told him I'll probably drop by to visit him and take a ride on his tractor at some point in the next month or so. But I don't have any immediate plans to do that because nothing is going to be decided in that conversation. |
He did not have a sinker when we first signed him, ... Ninety percent of the pitchers in the Pacific Rim are told not to throw the sinker. From Little League to college, they want four-seam fastballs, because the big deal over there is throwing strikes. In order to get some kind of movement, most of them use a splitter. |
He just gave of himself and was very active in borough politics. Anybody who came in touch with him. That was the effect Ben had on people. There was a huge procession for him. I have been to a lot of funerals, and this was the biggest I have ever seen (50-75 cars). Ben was a warrior. That was how he fought the disease. |
He really has been a different player. People have asked me if I really know about Carlos Pena and [how he figures] into next year. This is a case where we really have to take it all the way to the end. I still have to go with that. But obviously when you produce like he has, as I've said earlier, I'm rethinking things. |
He reminds me of a young Willie Stargell. This is an award he definitely won. We were very fortunate to have a player like him in the minor leagues. When Thome went down, the rest was, like, history. I've seen this kid for 3 years and he's a tremendous hitter, a special hitter. He's going to be doing it for a long time. |
He said no. The fractions in the Travers, they were walking. It was a race from the half-mile pole. If he ran in the King's Bishop, he'd have hooked up with Lost in the Fog and he'd gotten his butt run off for seven furlongs. It was sitting there waiting to happen. The one thing that beat us more than anything was time. |
He set a personal goal of 85 points for himself, he has the capabilities of being an all-regional player. The sky is the limit for him and I think college is in his future. He was second-team all-district as a freshman and sophomore. This is his year to get some attention, they [scouts] generally go for the older folks. |
He shocked everybody. He told us he came here because it would be a pleasure to coach us. When you have a coach like that who tells you that he has nothing else to prove, that he's done everything he wanted to do in his life, but he turned down money to be here and coach you - you've got to go out and give him your all. |
