In an ideal world, there would be a two-and-a-half- to three-month off-season. I don't think our players like to sit out that long without playing. If we can add a few more weeks, what our medical people are telling us is that players can rest, rehabilitate and build back up and work on preventive things during the season. |
In fact, during that first week after the Colts' game, when it hurt so bad I could hardly sleep and the blood was everywhere, I wondered whether, after thirteen years, the game was worth all this. I really started to question myself and just how much longer I could pay the price. But, like the pain, that eventually passed. |
In his current assignment, Mike has led the team that has helped GM gain back market share in California. He's built strong relationships with dealers and employees in creating marketing initiatives, all of which should prove especially useful as we focus on additional key markets where we need to improve GM's performance. |
In its true sense, storytelling is a therapeutic art. It's therapeutic in that it restores imagination and that sense of being connected to our humanity. And that comes out in an event like the Tall Tales Oscars, because it is a kind of indulgent celebration of our human weaknesses, and laughter is the best therapy of all. |
In light of the current levels of expected industry spending, we are adjusting our work plan and targeting a cost structure, expected to be in place during the first quarter of 2002, to drive breakeven at a quarterly revenue level well below $4 billion, instead of the $5 billion quarterly revenue level outlined previously, |

In the heated discussion of the US-China relations within the United States in the first half of this year, US President Bush, State Secretary Rice and other high-ranking officials showed their sincerity and goodwill to respond to the Chinese side as they take the overall situation of the bilateral ties into consideration. |
In the second half, we played much harder and smarter. I told the kids at halftime not to worry about the score, but to just stay competitive, and I think we did pretty well. Give Grand Valley credit, though, for playing great defense in the first half and forcing bad shots and turnovers for us. They were very tough on us. |
In the wake of interest rates peaking in November, I expect we are in a bit of a trough that may be followed by a modest rise and then a general plateau in the level of sales activity. Existing-home sales should stay below the record levels experienced over the last two years, but they'll maintain a historically high pace. |
In these situations that I've been involved in, people are going toward a common goal, which is to do good work. The crew will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and give you an encouraging pat on the back. Everybody just works toward that objective, and it's really helpful in a performance. It's dire for me. |
Increases in health and liability insurance costs, utility expenses, and garbage hauling fees were factored, ... Our entire nation faces increased fuel costs, which will remain uncertain. We will take strong measures to harness these costs through a thorough review of cost efficiency in every department and every division. |

Israelis and Palestinians have cooperated in the past to achieve historic agreements as well as practical cooperation on the ground, ... They must find a way again to end the current psychology of confrontation and begin to restore the psychology of peace-making. That is what we will be trying to achieve in these meetings. |
It didn't seem anybody was on their game. So coming in I was really thinking positive about that because I knew that a lot of people had sort of opened the door, ... It's my first major international meet. I suppose you can chalk it up to experience, but it's just not what I wanted to do. My expectations were a lot higher. |
It does hurt, obviously. Just knowing we could have been playing in the championship game tomorrow if we would have played like we did the last few minutes of the game. We just didn't have the right mentality. We didn't have the right fighters making smart decisions. We didn't play Michigan State basketball for 40 minutes. |
