By and large, with all the publicity Bruce gets for his style of defense, I think he does a great job of containing his emotions, not letting a referee's call get to him — or another player's comments. I think he does a great job of staying on high ground, just coming and competing and going home. |
By the end of the year, there will be some builders with some overhang of construction relative to demand, ... Now's the time when you'd hope everybody cools off a bit and moderates their building, but that's not human nature -- and it's not the way for homebuilders to make money in the near term. |

Canada is going to try like last year. I think he's ready for this. He knows this. They'll put some defensive players against his line. He just has to work harder, play his game and move the puck. I think it will be a very good game. Canada is one of the best teams here and we're a good team, too. |
Carroll was successful with connecting with celebrities. The files are interesting because he spent longer with celebrities than people do today. He spent three days with Marilyn Monroe and would knock on her door when she was still in bed. He's got pictures of her there getting ready for the day. |
Centralized sounds good ... but the reality is that the National Guard and Army don't have the kind of ties with local organizations that ultimately deliver lots of service, your nonprofits, churches, humanitarian organizations. Those types of linkages get built up over time, in local communities. |
Certainly the president's tax credit and child tax credit checks helped to boost some consumers' disposable income. Also, many consumers are refinancing their homes ... which leads to a greater amount of disposable income, and the rising stock market is good news for investment-oriented consumers. |
Certainly through change, some people get their feelings hurt, there's no doubt about it. Unfortunately, some of the people in some of the areas have lost the opportunity to see as many races as they had. But what we do is big business and what we do relies on a lot of people being able to see it. |
Certainly, the more heads up we get on it (slower growth), the better we can react. The holiday season, with the committed capacity, is the worst time to be surprised by a slowdown. But without that growth, there would be some risk to our estimates. We are looking for increases in the second half, |

Chip companies are getting ready for stronger demand in the back half of the year. There's a big difference between building a safety margin and overbuilding, ... People have been pessimistic, but we continue to get fairly firm fundamentals about the environment for PCs and semiconductors overall. |

Clearly there was a failure of some sort. Partly it was a failure of connecting dots (interpreting information), as they say. But a lot of dots were connected that weren't then acted upon. And so if you start talking about accountability, I think you also have to look at leaders and policy people. |
Compared with the previous occasion when Judge Jackson heard oral argument on the facts in September 1999, he played more of an active role in the courtroom today. He asked a lot of questions, which revealed that he is still thinking quite a bit about the part of the opinion that deals with tying. |
Competing for 16 years has been the main focus of my life. Basically, it's a selfish pursuit. I've focused all my energy on how to be the best in the world, and there's been many others who have sacrificed for me to make that happen. I figured it was time for me to reach out and help someone else. |
