[The commissioner stopped short of saying the incident set the league back to the 1970s, when its image was of drugs and militants.] I didn't see that at all, ... In fact, in a funny kind of way, business was OK. ... Dress codes are a separate issue, a lot less important, but apparently more important to a lot of people than we would have thought. |
[The controversy in the IT (information technology) career sector over the H-1B visa has again come into stark relief, as techies.com releases a new survey of more than 1,100 tech professionals. The techies.com site is a leading hub of IT industry issues.] And the tech workers we surveyed, ... think it can affect their job security and pay scales. |
[The Democrats] lost in large part because of the ethics problems. Now only 11 years later, we have the Republicans acting just like the Democrats and maybe even worse. Worse yet, they're acting like nobody cares even though their approval rating is only 36 percent, a low comparable to the '94 approval rating [of the Democrat-controlled Congress]. |
[Utah center Greg Ostertag, who claimed he doesn't even own a sports jacket, said he's not just mad about the dress code. He plans to get even.] I don't mind if they clean it up a little bit, ... but they can go without them -- sport coats. They're going to get the worst-looking one they've ever seen on me. I'll go buy one off a guy on the street. |
[What she does possess in spades is a knack for pulling her design team squarely into her corner by exuding a quality as rare as black pearls in the world of style: a rigorously self-enforced humility.] I have a huge ego, let's face it, ... But at the end of the day I don't need to raise my hand and say, 'Look at me; I did this part, I did that.' |
[While most drivers in the NASCAR Grand National Division, West Series have never seen the 3/8-mile D-shaped track in Kyle, Texas - Lewis was a regular competitor there when he was growing up in Dallas.] I'm definitely excited to get to go run down there, ... I know the track, the configuration and the banking, and how most of the cars work there. |
[With pipelines coming back on line and increased imports arriving from foreign sources, there appears to be plenty of crude oil, Knight said.] The problem is not having the capacity to run it, ... Some may be down because they don't have power, and some may be more serious because of flooding, corrosive damage. We don't have accurate information. |
A 30 percent appreciation of the yuan over the next year could be a destabilizing blow to their economy. That could lead to political upheaval. I don't know if at the end of the day you want that. And whether it's Wal-Mart or old line U.S. manufacturers or Silicon Valley, there are a lot of U.S. businesses that depend on low-priced Chinese inputs. |
A key component of President Bush's claim in his State of the Union address last January that Iraq had an active nuclear weapons program -- its alleged attempt to buy uranium in Niger -- was disputed by a CIA-directed mission to the central African nation in early 2002, according to senior administration officials and a former government official. |
A lot has happened in a day and a half, and we are still able to smile about it. I think that's the good thing about this game and this league. A lot of things happen and as long as you continue to smile and go out and do what we enjoy doing, everything's going to be all right. Sometimes you've got to blow the stack a little bit - no pun intended. |
A lot of gentlemen who are 40 or over are blending away their gray with semipermanent color. It covers 70 to 80 percent of the gray, so they still have some. So it's not like, 'Holy cow! George colored his hair!' It's like 'he did something, but what?' It lasts about eight weeks, so I do it every other haircut on guys. It just starts to rinse out. |
A lot of people do illegal stuff. I had no problem with those guys rushing the floor. It's an emotional game. They wanted to win. They had their little pep rally and they came out and got the job done, bottom line. We can't be mad if they rush the floor if they win. We should have taken care of business and not even given them a chance to do that. |
A scrimmage is not the same as an official game but at the same time it was physical because nobody wants to lose. They're preparing themselves as a team and players are trying to win spots. We have an obligation to always give 100 percent and take everything seriously. Both sides were going in with a lot of intensity but it was no more than that. |
A Web site is the hotel's new front desk. Hoteliers want their guests and potential guests to have a positive experience online that corresponds to the positive experience they'll have when they arrive at the property. With these new Web services and capabilities, hoteliers can give consumers the features and tools they have come to expect online. |
After 25 years in major league baseball, it's a dream come true to be the general manager of one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. I'd like to thank the Dodgers for putting their trust in my leadership abilities. My goal from this point forward is to accept nothing less than winning a World Championship with the Los Angeles Dodgers. |
