I've been very instrumental in pushing for the reform in our intelligence system, to have a national director where they've got clout over these 15 different agencies. We look back prior to 9/11 and there was some information out there that wasn't being shared just because the system is antiquated and wasn't working. We've got to fix that and we're in the process of doing it. |
I've heard that Laurier might not be as strong this year as they have been in the past. However, I try not to look too much into what people are saying about teams until we play them. Each game we play will be played like it is the championship game ... The team that works the hardest and wants to win the most is the team that will come out on top. We plan on being that team. |
If for some reason Matt plays, then I don't feel like our players will worry about it, ... For him to have some of the experiences that he has had, whether it is preseason or late last year or last Sunday, and having some success with that, it gives everyone a comfort zone when he is in there. Nobody goes, 'I have to do more' or 'We've got to do this.' They just keep playing. |
If we are to follow the president's mandate of 'No Child Left Behind,' we must also focus on career training subjects like machine and tooling, manufacturing trades, and the career center with culinary training and cosmetology. We have to offer all of our students the right tools to prepare them for the next phase of their adult life and that isn't always a four-year college. |
If you are deaf, you need captions for spoken elements. If you are blind, you need voiced descriptions of Web contents and spoken renderings of e-mail. The range of physical disabilities is very large, and we need many different tools to overcome the consequential barriers to Internet use, ... Let us commit ourselves to truly assuring that the Internet really is for everyone. |
If you have more complexity within your sales plan, a homegrown solution becomes difficult. So many people think [sales plans are] easy to do, but when you start talking about credit assignments, overlays, tier or ramped rates, and adjustments when products get returned, you're talking about a lot of variables. More times than not, a homegrown solution simply can't handle it. |
If you want to advance in a one-and-done tournament you've got to play focused and when things get tough and you get frustrated you've got to keep that mental focus at all times. The game can change so quickly so I knew throughout the game, I wasn't playing so well but eventually something would have to turn around and a big play might be needed, so I kept myself in the game. |
If you were to go out and tell your friend about something at the Gap and showed off a great T-shirt, the Gap may never know if that friend of yours actually shops there and goes and buys the same thing or something else. I can tell you that we were very pleased with the feedback and response we received from our customers and we plan on continuing the program in some format. |
In 2005, Duke Energy took a number of significant strategic steps to shape our future, but at the same time stayed focused on the tasks at hand to deliver outstanding results for the year. I'm very proud that our employees were able to surpass their earnings targets at the same time they were creating the foundation for the organization that will become the 'new' Duke Energy. |
In 2006 Delta is continuing to aggressively transform our network to expand into new or underserved routes where our customers want to visit or do business. The reach and convenience of our Atlanta hub will make it easier for customers from most any point on the globe to enjoy the charm, fine dining and world-class entertainment that the Jersey shore has to offer this summer. |
In a marriage there are times when you don't want to be married. Well, there are times we don't want to be brothers. But because we really love each other, we work hard at our relationship. In fact, at one point we even attended couples counseling. Things are a lot better now. We're a lot more focused. And we are performing better than ever before and enjoying our lives, too. |

In consumer electronics, ease-of-use is essential for users. The USB-IF created Certified Wireless USB to retain the same plug-and-play capabilities as wired USB. The association models spec enables manufactures to build host solutions that will allow one host to connect with up to 127 devices from different manufacturers -- all built on the Certified Wireless USB technology. |
In front end crashes, well-designed vehicles have front ends that crumple to absorb the energy and strong occupant compartments that resist intrusion, ... This allows restrained occupants to be decelerated without injury. In contrast, there is virtually no crush space on the sides of vehicles. So in serious side crashes some intrusion is inevitable but it should be minimized. |
In my life as an artist, I follow what I call my 'inner directive' because you can never predict what the world is going to do. You can never predict how people are going to respond to what you do. What I have to do is just trust what's sending me down a road of creative inquiry is important to me and somehow that will make it into a piece of work that is important to others. |
