We did express our concerns on that accounting provision previously. We commend Republican leaders in Congress who are putting forward ideas to help address high gas prices, and we are continuing to work with those leaders to address the root causes of high energy prices so that we can really end this vicious cycle. |
We didn't hide a thing from them. We showed everything and the biggest thing was the fact that we gave them every opportunity to see any facet of the city they wanted to see. You know, the areas of the city that are most devastated aren't areas that we as student-athletes frequent. We made sure that was pointed out. |
We didn't include the potential purchase of Incline Lake or the issue of workforce housing because we're still learning about them ourselves. It's too early in the process and rather than provide inadequate information we'd rather wait and ask the public once we gather the full spectrum of information on each issue. |
We do not believe that investors should be buying MSFT on a breakup valuation criteria; a breakup, if it were to make it through an appeal, would be executed three or more years from today, which is an eternity in the Internet-centric world. The legal overhang appears to be lengthening, unfortunately, for Microsoft. |
We do not expect any significant increase in capital spending for new restaurants since net new unit growth is expected to continue at 1 percent to 2 percent in the near-term. In addition, we expect to return roughly $5 billion to $6 billion to shareholders via dividends and share repurchase over the next two years. |
We don't have a strategic vision for higher education in Texas. We need to do a careful survey of what we're going to need . . . to accommodate these hundreds of thousands of students we're trying to attract. The kind of laissez-faire system of higher education we've had in the state historically won't get us there. |
We don't know what that means yet. We're hoping that means the ginger is doing something really good, and we have had a few participants say they felt they could decrease their other medications while they were in the study. Whether that's a placebo effect or from the ginger, we'll have to wait until the study ends. |
We don't see any reason for panic despite election time. If anything, the coming elections are proving to be a positive catalyst for the market based on preliminary indications of a broad centrist coalition forming - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will remain in power, but in charge of a broader, more stable coalition. |

We felt pretty good about ourselves in the first half. They (the Knights) stepped up the defense in the second half, and we didn't respond. We got a little impatient, stopped sharing the ball and shot it too quickly. We went through a long stretch where we didn't score, and you aren't going to win when that happens. |
We forecast strong spending on software applications in calendar year 2001. But the priority stack has shifted towards supply chain/B2B collaboration and select areas of CRM/content management. We believe the heavy damage is already done. While we can't call the absolute bottom, we believe we are nearing the trough. |
We had a very difficult time there toward the end of the game getting the right stops. I thought we played good enough defense for the most part, but you have to give Duke a lot of credit. When the game's on the line, they made some real tough shots that were very well defended and that's what great players will do. |
We have another game against another quality team. Now we'll have to see how the kids will respond. The quality of this league from top to bottom won't let you back your way into success. We lost a golden opportunity in our last game. We were just trying to hold on and back our way in and that's not going to happen. |
We have changed our training a little this year; our routines have gotten longer. To get prepared for this season, which is unusual because of the new rules making routines longer, we have done far more conditioning. We have been working with the strength and conditioning coach more this year than in previous years. |
We have one more shot to get in. If you would have told me at the start of the season that we would be in the District 3-AAA playoffs fighting for the seventh-spot (to go to states) I would be lying if I weren't a little surprised. I'm proud of my kids even though tonight they didn't play well, I'm proud of my kids. |
