Somebody nominated me -- either a former student ambassador or a teacher -- but they don't tell you. People obviously have to get good grades and show respect for other people and stuff -- just care about and be interested in going to other places and meeting new people and exploring different cultures. |
Someone must sell at the nadir of the cycle, and it might as well be the government. However, government agencies responsible for resolving the financial crisis are not forcing banks to act, with the result that banks are mainly reserving against bad loans and not disposing of the underlying collateral. |
Somerset's rent-a-quote, Peter Anderson, enjoyed another opportunity to stick the boot in, accusing the would-be reformers of knowing nothing about the game. It is undeniable, of course, that an ex-copper from Hong Kong should know more about cricket than the combined experience of two England captains. |
Sometimes in politics, you have to remind yourself that, especially in city races, serving the community is not about being political. It's about being policy oriented and helping people. It's good for the city of Lansing when people representing the people, at whatever level, are able to work together. |
Sometimes the consumer confidence survey isn't always reflective of what's going on in terms of sales at the stores. I thought it would be more negative. As for the outlook six months from now, some consumers may have a lack of faith in the [federal] government's ability to keep the economy percolating. |
Sometimes we shot the ball pretty well, and sometimes we didn't. We got in a deep hole, and it's hard to come out of it. They dominated the boards in the first half, and al-ways seemed to have an answer when we came back and got closer. When you get the open shots and can't make them, it's tough to win. |
Sometimes, I know as coaches we've been frustrated over the last couple years. But the kids have kept working hard and made progress. The program's growing. We're proud of the results. Not satisfied, hopefully we'll do better next year. But I'm pleased with the progress we've made the last couple years. |
Sometimes, when you're acting, you are so in the moment that you don't even remember what just happened. The director says, 'Cut!' and you look around, and everyone is looking at you saying, 'Wow. That was really great!' And you just have this blank look on your face, because you don't remember a thing. |
Statistics are one thing, but at the same time, when the game is on and it's kickoff time, you never know how anyone is gong to react. You have older quarterbacks. Peyton Manning hasn't won a Super Bowl; he's an experienced quarterback. It doesn't really matter, it just depends on how you play that day. |
Steve and Robert did a good job today. We brought them in for a pit stop just two laps before the yellow, but there was no way to know what was going to happen. Both guys never really put a wheel wrong all race. We have some work to do on the handling, but it was a positive weekend for the Porsche guys. |
Stronger sales in recent months show that consumers are continuing to enter the home-building market as the local economy creates jobs and mortgage rates remain historically low. The response from new-home buyers has allowed home builders to reduce their inventories and provided optimism for early 2006. |
Sunday my good shots seems to be bad and my bad shots are bad. So it all adds up nicely. And it's pretty much been happening every single last round. But what can you do? You're not going to kill yourself. You're just going to keep working on it, and hopefully one of these years I'll have a good Sunday. |
Teams knew we were going to run the ball and they were stacking guys up there. I think that's a credit to our offensive line for doing a real good job for us, being able to run it pretty effectively, and definitely to Thomas. He's done a tremendous job and has all year. He's been very consistent for us. |
Tech Industry job losses in New York slowed dramatically in 2004. We are seeing positive indicators for the future. With tech exports up and venture capital soaring by 47 percent in the Empire State, we believe we will see growth in the high paying jobs that will drive the state's economy in the future. |
Telecommunications as an industry in the United States is going through massive changes. We are in the middle of a major 20- to 30-year transformation. When we come out the other side, we'll have the choice of our telephone company versus our cable-television company for the same big bundle of services. |
