My mom lived off the canal of a river, ... It looked like a bomb went off. I never thought it was going to be that bad. I stayed the night (in Texas), then Monday morning after the storm had gone more up north, we went back thinking it was okay. It took us a long time because of all the traffic that was leaving. Normally, it would take an hour, but it took six hours because of all the evacuees. It took a good 11 or 12 hours to get to Texas, and it usually only takes five. |
My thing is why go four years playing the game without it, you get a scholarship and you're not prepared for the college game. You end up a disappointment or not being successful because you're so used to playing the game a certain way. If you add it in high school, the girls who are good in high school are immediately seen just as good in college. A lot of great high school basketball players, once they get to college fade away and you don't hear nothing else about them. |
Nortel's goal in developing the Converged Office solution was to open up a world of new opportunities for businesses to communicate through the most effective means possible and we've been able to achieve that by collaborating with Microsoft. Bringing voice functionality to the desktop environment allows communications on par with office-based capabilities, regardless of where users are located, such as when they are working from home or from a hotel room while traveling. |
Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;) / Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house. |
O'Hare is our largest operation, our hometown hub and the critical link in our ability to operate our entire system efficiently. Because execution at O'Hare is so important, we are making every effort to improve our performance. By placing Cindy in the top job at O'Hare and elevating it to a senior leadership position, we believe we have a strong leader at the right level in the company to drive decisions and make the changes necessary to improve our service to customers. |
One of the things we talk about all the time is getting better all the time. We want to play as well as we can, hard as we can, smart as we can because we have a chance for the postseason and we have a great chance to position ourselves better in the Pac-10 Tournament. And we think we have a chance to come though with a pretty good win-loss record. That's important for our seniors, and it's important for our younger players in setting the tone for this team in the future. |
People say to us, look, it may well be the case that there are fewer wars and fewer genocides, but surely more people are being killed. But when we look at this, the number of people killed in wars involving a state every year, all the wars, and you can see there's a high point, that's the Korean war, and it keeps on going down and down and down. If you look at the average number of people killed per conflict per year, it goes from 37-thousand in 1950 to just 600 in 2002. |
Playing in front of a big crowd always adds to the level of excitement for a home game, and it will definitely help our team. Having fellow student athletes as a part of that crowd will help even more. Our team has a lot of respect for all the athletes at Santa Clara, and having players from every sports team at Santa Clara in attendance is going to be cool. I'm sure it is going to give our team extra incentive to perform well against Princeton and Cal State Monterey Bay. |
Playing in the GBI League my sophomore year against teams like Arlington, Medford, Melrose, Newton and those teams, and being able to compete with them was a lot of fun. We played a lot of games in the Boston Garden my junior and senior year, which was also nice. I remember watching Stoneham go to the New England Finals in 1952 and play at the Boston Garden when they lost to West Springfield, and from that point on I just couldn't want to put on the Stoneham High uniform. |
Positive. Most people don't know this about me, because I never talked about it; it's not something football players want to get around the locker room. But as a kid, I'd watch Fred Astaire movies with my mom and dad and I'd think, 'If I could be him, I'd be the happiest man in the world.' Sure, I wanted a shot at another national championship, but the real reason I stayed an extra year in school was to take that ballroom dancing class to see if it was for me. And it was. |
Retailers in our Merchant Network have found that customers that select the Bill Me Later option typically have higher average order values than those that opt for other forms of payment. This can be a particularly important factor for retailers of big ticket items such as jewelry. The added security and convenience of Bill Me Later helps retailers turn browsers, who in the past might have been hesitant to purchase more expensive items such as jewelry online, into buyers. |
Stem cells tend to be smaller and have a slightly more compact shape than the differentiated cells. Differentiated cells appear to be much more spread and they appear to exert different levels of force on the matrix in which they are grown. That force can be read to a liquid crystal. Through simple changes of liquid crystal texture and color, our cell culture system is able to report, in real time, the cell interactions with the underlying support on which they are grown. |
Steve's making the majority of the catches, but our offense isn't designed just to get him the ball. He's just getting open and making some great plays, and Jake is hooking up with him. Naturally, we'd like to spread it out a little more and get other guys (into the end zone), but whenever we can move the ball, it doesn't matter to us how we move it. Whether it's getting Steve catches or Stephen Davis a lot of carries, as long as we're efficient, it really doesn't matter. |
That's my best score from the back tees, ... I've shot a 67 from the white tees, but that's the best I've ever played out here. Other than one hole, I really played well today. I had that one double bogey, but that's going to happen at one point in time. It's nearly impossible to play a perfect round. But I just tried to forget about it and move on. I made some good shots and finished strong. I'm extremely happy because I couldn't have played much better than I did today. |
The fourth quarter continued the trend that was observed throughout the course of 2005 in which the size of individual funds grew considerably, reaching a median $201 million, the largest in more than a decade. The fact that investors are raising such large funds comes in conjunction with the increasing globalization of the technology market and the need to provide entrepreneurial companies with larger rounds of financing so they can scale up quicker than the competition. |
