John Updike (1932-) |  |
 I'll take the pressure off Ricky, ... I'll take the bullets for Ricky right now. When we made the trade, one of the first things I told him was, 'We've got Pro Bowlers on defense. You don't have to be the center of attention here. The media and the fans are going to try and make you that. But understand that's not how we're looking at it. We're not bringing you in here because we haven't been able to win any games here.' |
| I'm glad to see the government take some action to stop firms from illegally receiving Federal small business contracts, however, I think the fine is too small. This firm received millions of dollars in awards for several years by falsely claiming to be a small business. A one- million-dollar fine is a drop in the bucket for a Fortune 1000 firm. They should be permanently debarred from doing business with the government. |
| I'm not surprised by the finding that these young women place a high value on marriage, ... The poor do not differ from the rest of America in their aspirations. They want college, a profession, marriage, a house with a picket fence. What distinguishes them is some combination of opportunity and concrete steps from their current reality to their future dream. Basically, what these women have is a magical outlook on life. |
| I'm surprised and shocked that we're still talking about it, ... We're playing San Diego this week and they're division rivals. You guys are talking about it amongst yourselves. We're moving on. . . . We're not going to sit here and mope and whine. We're not going to sit here and worry about what we did down there. It's over. It's done. We don't like how it happened, but now the only thing we can do is go play San Diego. |
| I'm very concerned about the interrelationships and the linkages between what the terms of that (gas) contract may have on the interpretation and the administration of this bill. Without a full understanding of how the parties intend to administer that, as well as an understanding of how the facilities are intended to be designed and built for that, (it) leaves you very vulnerable, and it's an extraordinarily large cost. |
| I've told Jim that our commitment to him is for as long as he was alive, which I hope is a long time. We want Jimmy to conduct as much as he is able and willing to do so here. I think the Met is the luckiest opera house in the world to have him as its music director and I hope that he will be at the center of its artistic life for the foreseeable future. It would be a terrible blow for me and my plans if he was not here. |
| If I feel just as confident in Japan, and if my natural pace enables me to challenge for victory, then I will go for it. If I see that keeping up with the leader - or leaders - means that I have to take excessive risks, then I will concentrate on the championship and try to wrap it up in Japan. It will be nice to be able to go to Corsica with a free mind. The Tour of Corsica is one of the rallies I really do want to win! |
| If we're talking about buying exchanges abroad, we have to have global securities standards, as we have global banking regulations. I'm talking about margins. Now, the United States has certain margin requirements that are not the same in London. Investors and hedge funds that want to borrow more money against securities — if they can't in the U.S., they go abroad. That could add additional risks to the global economy. |
| If you're the first at something, people are going to be watching you closer. So now you've got to work harder, and you've got to show some results. It's not that I feel the weight of the African-American community on my shoulders. I don't. But what I feel is that in order for this trend to continue — or to start, if you will, for the opportunities to grow — we have to have successes when we take over these programs. |
| In looking for our historic town square, we scouted in a lot of states. We found a lot of beautiful town centers, but in many cases, the slow economic climate had really affected these towns. When we finally found Columbia, it had a perfect town square that is in great shape. Along the way we discovered that there is such a different texture to Tennessee, that there would have been no way to recreate it in another state. |
| In such a situation, in time, the head-hunter will inevitably start supplying what they think the client will be comfortable with – approaching the same, usual suspects each time there's a role to fill. The end result is what many refer to as 'pale, male and stale' recruits – safe decisions where the brief is all about meeting the needs of the corporate culture rather than actually addressing the corporate challenge. |
| In the late 1950s, in line with the space race and the Cold War, the government put a tremendous emphasis on funding engineers and computer people. The country had a massive focus on subsidizing students, supporting government labs, and supporting colleges and universities. So there was a huge growth spurt in the talent pool in the 1960s as colleges and universities pumped out large numbers of technically trained people. |
| Information Technology is crucial to helping businesses innovate, and with a shortage of qualified IT professionals, it's important that today's college students are aware of the tremendous opportunities available for them in this field. Through the Future Potential in IT seminar, we hope to show students that IT offers solid careers right here in Seattle and around the country that will help change the face of business. |
