When it is going straight up it makes it very difficult to do deals because people's expectations go straight up as well. I think a correction just makes people realize that it is a real world out there and I think it makes the opportunities easier for us to capitalize on in the next little while. |
When Megan was a freshman, it wasn't that difficult (to guard her) because she didn't know the ins and outs of getting other people involved. Now that she's a senior, it's difficult because she knows how to get her own shot, she knows how to score, and she can get the ball to the big post players. |
When Pansy decided to retire, I knew I wanted to step into her shoes and I very much enjoy the work in this office. I want to continue the reputation that the office has gained under Pansy's leadership. Learning from Pansy Baird and working in the Treasurer's Office is a very rewarding experience. |
When the printing press was invented, it was inspired by the desire to make the Bible accessible to everyone. Today, people of passion who want to share their faith and provide quality entertainment for families are working in one of the most powerful media of our time--the interactive video game. |
When the team returned to the locker room after [Friday night's] game, I don't know who, but one of them put a message on the chalk board. Someone had written, 'Tony is back.' I think it meant an awful lot, not only to Tony but to his teammates, to give him a chance to play in the NCAA tournament. |
When we first bought the company, there was the stigma attached to the UFC, ... At that time we were out trying to talk to venues. Venues weren't even interested in having the UFC there. MGM, Mandalay Bay, a few out in Atlantic City. We had to go in and get people interested in hosting UFC events. |
When we started TREAD-1 six years ago, not many drivers had Internet access and fewer still had high-speed access, so we decided to go with computer terminals. Also we didn't want the lessons to be photos with a voice over talking at the driver. We wanted high-quality video with a movie-like feel. |
When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots. |
When we were through, one of us thought we knew where we were. We cut up through a pine thicket, thinking we would get back home that way. We went down a steep (incline) and came to a big creek. We were going to see if it would lead us to a road, but we had already realized then that we were lost. |

When you are not in a public arena, you don't have to worry as much about short-term earnings prospects. The other benefit is that you can save substantial money in not having to do regular public reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission … and onerous requirements related to auditing. |

When you don't score, it doesn't matter how many runs you give up. We played very solid defense. We made a few mistakes here and there, but really, for the most part, our defense did a great job. Our hitting is going to come around. I'm very pleased with the effort the kids gave. They played hard. |
When you have competing companies that are engaging in the raising of prices in lock step with each other, you have to question whether or not this in coincidence or price fixing. With the merger of Exxon and Mobil and Chevron and Texaco, we have very little competition among the energy companies. |
