Wal-Mart's news is a very big deal, ... There's no doubt that a significant number of consumers are shopping paycheck to paycheck. Most are also waiting for price reductions. So saying that the consumer is still cautious is a good indicator that the holiday season will only be moderately better than last year. |
Was it worth the wait or what? Forty-four years is a long time everybody, but I tell you what -- it's all worth it. It's bittersweet right now. It feels great. We love you guys very much. It's an unbelievable feeling right now for everybody in that clubhouse and you guys should enjoy it just as much as we are. |
We agree that every single foot of the I-walls is suspect. When asked, we have constantly urged anyone returning to New Orleans to exercise caution, because the system now in place could fail in a Category 2 storm. It has already failed during a fast-moving Category 3 storm that missed New Orleans by 30 miles. |
We also provide free seminars year-round on money and credit management and offer student loans. Our emphasis with the CAP program is financial responsibility. Students will be rewarded for responsible account management which we believe will help them steer clear of the problems related to excessive spending. |
We always try to make February tougher than the month of January. We have a couple of kids who are undefeated, and my job is to make sure they're not undefeated by the time they go into the State tournament. They have to be challenged. They have to know what it's like to be down 3-2 and have to come back late. |
We anticipate a two-notch downgrade by all four rating agencies. Depending on the information disclosed at the interim announcement and thereafter, we foresee the possibility of deeper rating cuts unless the company can announce some plan to replenish its thin equity base relative to its debt and asset levels. |
We are absolutely happy to have conversations with people about that (burying lines), however, we can all agree that it's appropriate for the customers who benefit from such a conversion to handle the expense. None of the communities we have talked with in the past about this have chosen to go forward with it. |
We are broadening our reach while offering more competitive rates and providing our agency partners a total account solution. Our auto, home and umbrella lines are fully supported by a state of the art real-time web rating. We understand the value agents place on ease of use and are delivering on our promises. |
We are clearly disappointed in our results for fiscal year 2000. We are looking at fiscal year 2001 as a transition and rebuilding year for Lucent. Lucent remains a company with world-class products, people and knowledge of networks, and we are fortunate to compete in one of the world's leading growth markets. |
We are committed to doing everything possible to ensure (the industry) remains strong and vibrant for years to come, ... I'm confident that this new committee and its members will fully explore and determine the best way to secure New York's racing industry and bring our racing franchise into the 21st century. |
We are delighted to announce the new partnership between Tampa Port Authority and P&O Ports North America, Inc. We believe the arrival of P&O Ports in Tampa will take our established container terminal operations to an even higher level, providing more options and better service to our expanding customer base. |
We are delighted to be named as the Preferred Supplier of Ferry Services to The Ryder Cup 2006 which promises to be one of the greatest sporting occasions that Ireland has ever witnessed. Out extensive route network and choice of craft between Britain and Ireland has helped us secure this prestigious contract. |
We are determined to keep our Texas freeways free. These highways have already been paid for by our tax dollars. If they try to make us pay toll on it, it is nothing short of double taxation. I think the number of people we have reached and gotten involved is a testament to the depth and breadth of this issue. |
We are extremely encouraged by the vision and leadership shown by the OIC and ISESCO in mobilizing Islamic countries to accelerate progress for children. UNICEF shares their commitment and stands ready to work with them to ensure their actions have a practical impact and generate concrete results for children. |
We are extremely proud of Marissa. This is a well-deserved honor for her. To coach the Rookie of the Year in back-to-back seasons is a tremendous honor and says a lot about our program and where we're headed. These individual accomplishments cannot take place without the success and hard work of her teammates. |
