I remember my first bullpen session with him. He was throwing the ball all over, and afterward he asks me, 'So, what did you think of that?' And I told him, 'To be honest with you, I didn't think it was very good.' So he says, 'Hmmm,' and the next day he hits every target he threw at. Every one. The son of a gun was testing me. |
The Gap ( GPS : Research , Estimates ) is a very interesting one. A lot of apparel manufacturers have a problem selling to independent retailers, a real channel conflict. The Gap has an exclusive brand that they sell through a proprietary distribution channel. They can really focus the Internet on that - on that exclusive chain. |
'Magdalena' is exactly the kind of project we love: a strong female lead character, a story with rich mythology, and compelling characters. The religious overtone adds a new dimension to the adventure story, while Kevin Taft's terrific storyline still deals with realistic, contemporary issues in an entertaining and relatable way. |

(Anne Arundel County athletics supervisor) Marlene Kelly needs to revaluate some of the referees in this county. Not all of them are bad but there are some bad apples that hold grudges against certain schools. It was pretty bad for both sides and you could tell they didn't have control of the game. They let it get away from them. |
(Greenspan) cut rates three times last year, but he said that the conditions that required those cuts are no longer with us. So the outside limit to what he is going to do is three hikes. My guess is that you will only end up with a couple of them, a quarter-point at the end of this month, one in August, and maybe one in October. |
(Robert Morris) and St. Francis have the toughest travel. There are times we are gone for five days at a time. We just got back from a two-game trip and were home for 24 hours and had to leave again. That gets tiring. But we have to learn to deal with that because that is the situation we are in being in the Northeast Conference. |
[a rural bible belt town that goes on for miles and is strewn with debris and broken hearts. The nurse, 39, who lives in Bedford, N.Y., has been helping victims of Katrina since Sept. 6.] Christie just gave me a picture she drew, ... It is of an angel blowing a horn. The angel has a red cross on her gown. Marked with a red cross. |
[According to IIHS chief operating officer Adrian Lund, the driver's side of the vehicle needs to absorb the energy of a crash and keep the occupant compartment intact.] The Freestyle's performance is what we like to see, ...

[Arthur Daley, the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist of the New York Times, expressed an opinion that was typical.] This fight should not be patronized either in person or on theatre TV, ... Not a nickel should be contributed to the coffers of Clay, the black Muslims, or the promoter who jammed this down so many unwilling throats. |

[Cathedral City City Councilman Paul Marchand piggybacked off another's question regarding the price of gasoline. Marchand focused on Westly's intention to run for governor and asked for] a commitment to (putting California) on a leading edge (of clean technology) beyond just hybrid vehicles, ... absolutely and unequivocally yes. |
[Daniels is now a starting running back for the Warriors as well as a starting linebacker. He has taken hits and has given hits. Sometimes he carries the ball and sometimes he blocks for his teammates when they get the ball.] It feels great to be out there, ... To be able to play football again is great. Its wonderful. I love it. |
