It's a funny thing about these kinda towns. They may not be big or flashy, but they're like where I come from: real basic, pretty simple and all heart. The people that live in those places, that come from those kinds of towns, they remind you about everything that's good about folks, so it's great to be able to start our next leg right smack in the middle of it all. |
It's an interesting offering. The concept behind the product seems pretty sound. If the recipient does not know you, then you have to essentially jump through a very small hoop that confirms you are a real live human being instead of one of those bulk e-mail programs. This has always proven to be an effective antispam technique in mailing lists and discussion lists. |
It's hard to say (if his illness contributed to Davis' play), ... We're all grown men. We're all disappointed. He was very sick all (Sunday) morning. He got IV's. The doctor made a judgment that he could play. Leonard made a judgment that he wanted to play. When it's over, we don't make excuses. We don't make alibis. And we really don't cry about it, and we move on. |
It's January, and soon we'll be celebrating the life of Dr. King and remembering his dream. So, it's always hurtful to civil rights workers and for African-Americans in particular when we continue to be the target of these kinds of incidents. Racial segregation is still a problem, and this shows that there is still a need for affirmative action programs in Michigan. |
It's just one of those things where we made some critical free throws at the end, and that's the key. You don't give up because you don't know what's fixing to happen, but (Pickering) came back down and got another chance and she sank them both. That's a big key, and it's the never-say-die attitude. They just worked hard at it and stayed with it and stayed after it. |
It's really difficult to predict what the future is going to bring. Right now the Olympics garners a premium in both rights fees and ad buys because it is able to attract and sustain an enormous TV audience. Until that audience and those advertising dollars are diverted to other [media] platforms, we will not in any way compromise the value of the exclusivity of TV. |
It's very difficult to say what's going to happen over the long haul. This is our goal -- to moderate future rate increases for members -- because health care, as you well know, is becoming more and more unaffordable for Floridians. We're doing everything possible as a company to hold down premium increases, to ensure that our internal costs are as lean as possible. |
It's very exciting. About two weeks ago, we had a sit-down with the team and talked about what we needed to change, and by everybody talking it made a difference. We went into the game (last Friday) knowing we had to handle our own business, and I just had a feeling West was going to upset (Briggs). Everyone just broke down in tears, and there was a lot of laughter. |
It's very vital with the 85-scholarship limit that you do have walk-ons that participate on your special teams because they are so important, ... That's an area where they can come out and contribute. There's not a team in this conference that doesn't have walk-ons that participate that make a difference during the season. I think that's what's great about football. |
Jesus did. I was hopping along, when suddenly he comes and cures me. One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next moment me livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by your leave. Look. I'm not saying that being a leper was a bowl of cherries. But it was a living. I mean, you try waving muscular suntanned limbs in people's faces demanding compassion. It's a bloody disaster. |
Jim's emotional and he's passionate, but he has to learn how to channel that so that it's not destructive. My father was that way, and I tried to learn from him. . . . Passion and standing up for things can help create a sense of unity. But you still have to act a certain way. If something happens, you have to realize that you can't just yell at people all the time. |
Just as companies are slow to recognize things are going to slow down, they're also slow to recognize that things are going to pick back up, ... We're in a nether world right now, where companies don't necessarily know what is the correct action to take here -- they don't know whether they should be hiring or whether they should be more cautious about pay increases. |
Kodak is a tremendous client for us, as they continue to challenge our technologists, designers and user experience group to put together innovative solutions for their consumer and business audiences. Kodak is clearly committed to the online channel as a key communications vehicle for its customers, and they have been a valued partner throughout the entire process. |
Little Feat had done risky moves from the get go. You're going to lose people and get people. If they don't get it, it's probably not the first thing they didn't get. Most were middle-aged guys who were still wondering where Lowell was. We try to honor Lowell every time we go on stage. If they like it that's fine. If the audience doesn't show up we'll call it a day. |
Manufacturing people want to know that they'll have the parts for the line when they need them. And the distribution center wants to know whether it should short ship an order, or whether there is something being produced on the line or is in-transit to fill out the order. Both sides of the operation now have full visibility into all the inventory in the enterprise. |
