It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity. |
It's becoming harder and harder to make that claim there's a 'Big Three'. We're a different company than we used to be -- we're not just Chrysler. With the global automotive world, it's no longer a neat package of Detroit over in this corner, everyone else in that corner. The significance is questionable what it means. All we can do is try to continue to grow profitably, that's what we're going to try to continue to do. |
It's been almost a decade since the Burger King system enjoyed seven quarters of positive comp sales in the United States. As part of our Go Forward Plan, we're working together with our franchisees to deliver great products served hot and fresh by friendly and fast employees in a clean and safe restaurant environment. Our long run of positive sales increases shows that customers have noticed and appreciate our efforts. |
It's huge. I've been trying not to lose it, but I might be getting close. I've never had a group of kids ... over the last three years, we've developed something where they really do believe. You reap what you sow. We're so blessed and thankful for the opportunity. For them to believe, we can do all things. If we just focus in and believe - in your faith, in your team, whatever - you can make some amazing things happen. |
It's no surprise that age-related losses or lapses in memory can challenge our deeply embedded sense of control. Thus, we find an increase with age in beliefs that memory declines are an inevitable, irreversible, and uncontrollable part of the aging process. These beliefs are detrimental because they are associated with distress, anxiety, and giving up without expending the effort or strategies needed to support memory. |
It's not that the ground motions in 1906 were significantly larger than those in 1989—it's that the area experiencing intense shaking was much, much greater. We don't know if the next rupture will look like 1906 earthquake, but we know that many of the same areas hit hard in 1906, like San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and the Santa Cruz mountains will be hit hard again in the next large earthquake on the San Andreas Fault . |
It's simply too difficult to quantify at this stage what kind of economic impact any of these policies will have because who knows if they will ever make it through Congress. But from both a market point of view and from an economic point of view, the best possible scenario would be gridlock. It means they have to come together and do something more reasonable than more extreme. And that's what everyone out there wants. |
It's very easy to understand. You can point to many things: the technical side, the mental side, all sorts of different things -- on Saturday there were 35,000 people and an exciting atmosphere. Finishing on goal is not the easiest thing in the world. You get a split second to make a decision and sometimes it's the right decision and sometimes it's the wrong decision. Of course, we would like to score goals and we will. |
Joe told me something after the first practice Friday and it was just a tiny little thing, but it made a big difference. I even got to pass him once today, but it didn't take him long to retake his position. It's great to have a teammate like Joe, he's a pro and I appreciate the help he has given me. I just want to learn and get better in each race. I think I did that today. I am starting to figure out this oval racing. |
Just talked to someone that made it from Stennis to Diamondhead.His house had 9 feet of water in it and was pretty much demolished.He said the Yacht Club and houses around the Club were pretty much gone. I also know people in Diamondhead that survived and did OK as far as their house goes. It really says if water got to you then it was real, real bad vs. just real bad for wind. The Gulf Coast will change again, forever. |
Last May, in Addis Ababa there was convened a meeting of Heads of African States and Governments. In three days, the thirty-two nations represented at that Conference demonstrated to the world that when the will and the determination exist, nations and peoples of diverse backgrounds can and will work together in unity for the achievement of common goals and the assurance of that equality and brotherhood which we desire. |
Marketers can look at a single trend line and uncover a number of benchmarks and dynamics at work, including the average price paid by advertisers across their entire portfolio of keywords. Some of the report's other findings give marketers contextual comparisons for such factors as growth rate of active keywords, indicating searcher demand; overall advertiser investment and budget decisions; and market competitiveness. |
Most companies think their data is secure because employees are assigned limited access rights, but we all know how easy it is to obtain someone else's password. In addition, the level of personnel involved in theft means they automatically have access to critical data and, on a bad day, or if they are forced to leave, making the data available for a sum of money is a simple and profitable option and easy to accomplish. |

My initial reaction right now is I saw where it's going to be announced during the Final Four. So if I'm sitting here in Connecticut and there's four teams playing in Boston at the Final Four and I get a phone call, my first reaction is I'm going to be (mad) that I'm not at the Final Four. I can tell you that much. So if I happen to be in Boston with my team and I get that phone call, it'll be kind of a special weekend. |
