The second game was just a lack of intensity. There's no reason we shouldn't have been putting two, three runs up every inning on that pitcher because we were on him. But then we had some lack of intensity. We're up by seven so let's laugh and joke -- and that's my fault. I've got to keep the intensity on this team. |
The severance agreement announced today offers former Enron employees a real and immediate option to receive an additional cash payment from Enron. The agreement eliminates the risk that former employees would receive little or no severance as a result of a lengthy and costly court battle that most could ill afford. |
The staff has been fabulous. All of my questions have been answered and I've always able to get someone when I called. I don't have to talk to a certain person, so I can always get someone who is able to look at the records and see who I talked to before and make references to past conversations. I liked that a lot. |
The State Department's memo is full of misleading and irrelevant arguments. It fails to make the case that the waiver is in the ?national security interest? of the U.S., as required by law. The waiver undeniably undermines efforts to promote justice for human rights crimes in East Timor and real reform in Indonesia. |
The state of Maryland sets the guidelines. They allow community service, they allow advocacy to earn these 60 hours. Every student between the grades of 6 and 12 have to earn 60 hours to graduate high school, and the state sets the guidelines under which those hours can be earned, and advocacy is one of those areas. |
The stresses of daily life are all around us, from remembering to pick up milk to scheduling your next vehicle maintenance appointment. While these tasks and appointments are not likely to go away, there are new technologies available to help you navigate this sea of responsibility and bring you added peace of mind. |
The survey for the final reading would have taken place over the past 10 days or so, when market volatility was particularly high, ... Because of that, the final reading very well could have come in below the preliminary reading. The fact it came in higher shows a certain amount of resilience in the consumer sector. |
The team's slightly re-engineered. There are some familiar faces, some new faces. Just like a baseball team, we feel the ballpark should be re-engineered and refreshed. We've spent a lot of time and a lot of effort to keep it highly desirable for the fans. When this ballpark is 30 years old it will still look young. |
The thing about Graham, and I told him this the first day of camp, is when we played Portland last year, he was the one guy we focused on trying to make sure he didn't score. We thought he was the most important player. He's very strong and he plays with a force. I couldn't understand why his numbers weren't higher. |
The thing about great teams is if you don't finish the story, it ain't going to be a story that's going to be remembered. We go out with a loss, it's going to feel like everything we did, in essence, was nothing. We brought a lot of stuff back. But for our seniors, for the young guys, we've got to go out with a win. |
The thing about the Japanese diet is, you don't have to do it every meal. Just incorporate it little by little and see how you feel. By eating more modest portions, more vegetables, less bad fat and drinking green tea instead of soda and eating brown rice, all these little things add up to a very healthy way to eat. |
The thing we've tried to do is share the wealth, get more guys involved. We're sharing the ball more. We're trying to pressure more defensively. On offense, we have more guys involved, that's the biggest thing. We don't have a guy who every night we can count on to get 25 and 10. We hope we can do that by committee. |
The traditional model has been to fund a start-up to get a seat at the table to see whether it's going to be a strategic acquisition. The thing that's changed is that the guys at the table are often getting beat out of the acquisition. So they're not waiting anymore; they are cutting the deal right at the beginning. |
The true meaning of America, you ask? It's in a Texas rodeo, in a policeman's badge, in the sound of laughing children, in a political rally, in a newspaper... In all these things, and many more, you'll find America. In all these things, you'll find freedom. And freedom is what America means to the world. And to me. |
