Congress considers (the TANF program) a successful program, and that's why they reauthorized it. It addresses how to get people out of poverty, get them into mainstream jobs. But it's not just providing individual job training and placement. It's also doing prevention. |
Consumers are clearly being impacted by the three hurricanes, ... That, combined with natural gas and gasoline prices, is having an effect. I think $3 a gallon gasoline is the tipping point to a consumer that is under siege. But this number is really no great surprise. |
Consumers are more interested in watching content on their TV than their PC. The PC won't replace the TV. The fact remains the set-top box is in pole position right now. Consumers are comfortable using them and they don't require manual setting-up in the way a PC does. |
Cost is a big challenge. It's not like hospitals aren't used to paying a lot of money for important things like medical equipment, but it's a little more difficult to convince them that money is better spent on information technology rather than new medical technology. |
Cyrix and AMD have been selling chips at a substantial discount to Intel's and still have managed to get a relatively small portion of the market. Intel's price cuts were planned well in advance and they're executing on a strategy that has been put in place months ago. |
Darcey is one of those players you never hear much about. She is a 5-foot-8 post player who always plays against people who are at least four inches taller than she is. Darcey is a quiet person, but she always gets the job done. We wouldn't be where we are without her. |
De Villiers embodies a more radical right, but less extremist, more respectable one than the National Front of Jean Marie Le Pen. So that could steal away voters, especially those from the traditionalist right who adhere to values of family, order, authority, religion. |
Declines in worker productivity coupled with accelerating labor costs increase the threat of inflation down the road. Inflationary pressure generated by these two factors pushes long-term mortgage rates upward, which is why we have seen rates rise these last two weeks. |
Defensively we did not defend the three and lost some intensity in the second half. We had more turnovers and they were able to get about 14 points right off of those turnovers. Then the crowd got involved and we lost composure and spaced out on our transition defense. |
Defensively, they took us out of what we wanted to do. Plain and simple, they were the better team. If you were watching the game tonight as a casual observer, they were a better team than us and they proved it three times this year. We didn't deserve to win this game. |
Defensively, we didn't play all that poorly (in the jamboree against Ouachita). We gave up a couple of big plays to a talented bunch. Other than that, our kids played awfully hard. From an offensive standpoint, we just didn't execute. We turned the ball over too often. |
Definitely, when they said . . . this is my 15th US Open, it makes you think. I can't believe -- I don't think I can count all 15. No, there's no question I'm one of the veterans on tour. I like to think I'm still in my 20s, which I am. I'm not quite over the hill yet. |
Delphi 's misuse of the bankruptcy procedure to circumvent the collective bargaining process and slash jobs and wages and drastically reduce healthcare, retirement, and other hard-won benefits or eliminate them altogether is a travesty and a concern for every American. |
Design your database into subject areas and entities -- don't rush the design. Review all application requirements and loads prior to committing to a database implementation. Test the system on paper, in diagrams. Find and productively employ experienced data modelers. |
Despite all kinds of centrifugal forces, the Internet's technology has stayed reasonably unified and coherent during the tremendous growth of the last 20 years, the enormous changes in underlying transmission technology and the era of telecommunications liberalization. |
