We definitely have to get better. We know we're not doing as good as we need to. We need to pay more attention to the little details. We're real close. It's just little things here or there, a guy taking a wrong step and missing a block or pre-snap stuff (leading to motion penalties). We need to correct some things. We're upset with how we've played and we need to get better. |
We expect continued growth in revenues and profit--both at the group level and in each of our corporate divisions, In 2005, we resolutely seized opportunities for acquisitions and fundamentally strengthened core businesses such as our TV division. We will build on this strong foundation to step up our investments in new growth markets and in emerging digital-media businesses. |

We had someone come the other day, and Alice was meeting two dogs and wagging her tail, and she came up to this person very quickly. She is still cautious and a little shy but makes friends quickly. She is confident, healthy, happy, social and loyal. She comes immediately when called, can be walked off-leash, knows basic commands and is very well-behaved. It's so encouraging. |
We have a very aggressive deployment plan. We'd like to offer this video service to half of our AT&T residential customers in less than three years. The key is our ability to install the necessary technology in cities and neighborhoods. The faster we can upgrade fiber-optic elements of our networks, the sooner we can bring high-quality video through your existing phone lines. |
We have an Iraq war going on right now in which the media coverage is strictly limited. There is no coverage, for example, of the bodies of American soldiers coming home. Footage of the World Trade Center is pretty well suppressed now in the media. You don't see the planes hitting the building, and the footage of the actual victims themselves is very, very, very rarely shown. |

We have gone through a slowdown from the more robust pace of sales in the first-half of the year, but I think the slowdown was cause for some worry, not a real concern, ... Higher gasoline prices have taken the oomph out of the economy and spending. But without more conclusive evidence of a drop in discretionary spending, I would say the slowdown is more temporary than real. |
We have to keep counting the absentee ballots, because under the law those ballots that we receive a week after the election we have to count as well. So if it is close, we are not going to rush to judgment. We are going to do the responsible thing and make sure we give all of the candidates and the voters of the city of New York real numbers, not numbers that are unofficial. |
We must also increase the USDA surveillance program, which is testing just one percent of all animals slaughtered in the United States. We think USDA should be testing all animals over 20 months at slaughter. But at a minimum, USDA should test all high-risk cattle, and all cattle from Western Canada, from the Pacific Northwest and from Texas, where cases have been identified. |
We respected Rochester from the opening whistle, and they were a tough team tonight. We knew that it could go that far and I was proud of my team after conceding a goal for hanging in there. We were a little bit whipped, but we just wanted to keep our composure during the overtime and make sure we didn't give up a second goal. I'm proud of my team and pleased to be advancing. |
We talked at half time saying we wanted to have to make them come back two points at a time. Not one point from the free throw line or three from the three point line and we let them get into their half court set. We knew that was pretty much their game and they were going to shoot the three and it just happened they only hit them in the third and not in the rest of the game. |
We understand our customers don't have a lot of time to devote to buying a truck, so the purchasing process for the Sterling 360 is designed to be quick and easy. Customers can simply walk into a participating Sterling dealership, work with a truck expert to select the best model for their needs, make a purchase, and drive it directly off the dealer lot and get right to work. |
We were a family at war for a time. Now everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. That's reflected in the boardroom as much as anywhere else. We're inviting people to the directors' box who are keen to support the club, whether they be potential investors or sponsors. On Saturday, we welcomed the actor, Ken Stott, as well as Gary Mackay, who had never been invited before. |
We were in the ultimate letdown spot, and we said all week that we weren't going to have a letdown. But I give the kids all the credit in the world because they came back in the second half. We didn't draw one adjustment at halftime. Not one thing. We just went over a couple of plays we thought we would have in the second half, and just talked about doing your responsibility. |
