If such an oil shock occurred, the risk of a hard landing would increase. Fed officials would be faced with conflicting objectives -- on one hand offsetting the restraint exerted by higher oil prices on economic activity, and on the other hand keeping inflationary expectations in check. |
If the direction [of the team] is going away from me and going toward other things, ... then as a man I have to accept that and have to move on and figure out what's next for me if that's the situation that's in front of me. But by no means am I going to sit here and whine and complain. |
If the linebackers are playing well, they're not running the football. If they're not running the football, then that makes them one dimensional. When we force them to throw, we have a couple good kids rushing the quarterback in Taylor and Pat (Burton), and we know we'll get after them. |
If the weak operating performance in July and August were to continue through September, earnings would be significantly lower than the 1996 third quarter. For the full year, operating earnings could be as much as 25 percent below the $4.50 per share operating earnings achieved in 1996. |
If there is a productive result coming out of the Security Council with Iran, I think that will increase the attractiveness of looking to the Security Council as a potential solution for North Korea and, at least, it will hopefully remove some of the Korean and Chinese objections to it. |
If there were no longer bilingual ballots, citizens would not be able to vote intelligently, especially in California and San Francisco with all the bond measures. People would need help and rely on others. We don't want employers, spouses or neighborhood organizers helping people vote. |
If there's any coach in America, in the world, who could figure out how to control momentum, all of our records would be better than they are. (Momentum) is a phenomenon. Guys talk about being in a 'zone,' but I haven't seen a team shoot the ball that well for a game. It was impressive. |
If these guys couldn't play, they wouldn't be here. And I think that's what people forget. Everybody buys into the hype that comes out of the Cleveland media, and nobody here in Denver has truly sat back and evaluated the situation. If they did, they'd say it's a great thing Denver did. |
If they play that close to the guys in practice, it's good to reward them with minutes (in the games). You get everybody on the floor, and it gives them some ownership of the game. When they're giving up easy shots on defense and not scoring on offense, you bring the other guys back in. |
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? / If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? / Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. |
If used appropriately, incentives can make a big difference. If no incentives are provided, participation in a personal health-risk assessment may be less than 10 percent of the population. Employers that have offered significant incentives have seen participation as high as 90 percent. |
If we can continue to keep playing better like we did the last half of the trip, I think we can look at our record and say we'll be OK. We got something out of it; we got on a roll. We started to pick things up a little bit. If we can continue to play well, that 5-5 [trip] was worth it. |
If we can go up and learn those lanes and shoot like this, I'll take my chances. There will be some tough teams and it's a new environment. It's wild, exciting, unbelievable. I'm glad they get a chance to experience that as such a young team -- it should make them hungry to do it again. |
If we turn the clock forward five years or so I really would wish to see the stadium classified as one of the finest in the north of England, capable of hosting international matches at all levels, but at the same time creating and becoming an integral part of the life of the community. |
If we went in and pre-planned an industrial park where we put things that maybe a business wouldn't want when then came here, we would be stepping on our own foot. We are not going to ask the county to build something huge and grandiose without knowing who the customers are going to be. |
