Our quarterly financial results reflect the continued difficult industry environment but also show some encouraging trends. Both US Airways' and America West's stand-alone results, excluding special charges, are much improved versus last year despite a nearly $200 million increase in expenses due to higher fuel prices. |
Our software instruments have completely reshaped live video production. We are very excited to be able to offer our complete product line to the rapidly growing VJ market for both the Mac and PC platforms. With the wider variety of hardware available for the Windows platform, live video has a chance to really explode. |
Our workforce builds an outstanding product and the world knows it, as the F-16 continues its record of being the world's most successful fighter. This contract is great news for the F-16 team, because it extends the production line another year and opens the door wider for additional international sales in the future. |
Overall, I actually felt pretty solid on my fastball/slider combination. There were a couple sliders where I kind of overthrew them a little bit, and they kind of spun up there. I had a couple good sharp ones down. Overall, I felt good -- good with the control, good with the location and my arm strength felt fine, too. |
Partners such as Sears are spreading the word about the importance of energy efficiency in all aspects of our lives. They are a leader in the industry and are doing an outstanding job of educating consumers about the benefits of ENERGY STAR products that help their customers save money and help protect our environment. |
People have to come forward, they have to pay a big fine and application fees, they have to go through background checks, pay all of the back taxes that are owed if they were working off the books and prove they've been learning English. I don't think that when you have to do all that, you can consider that an amnesty. |
Personally, I think I did horribly on him in the first half. I think when I started guarding him, he got like two buckets on backdoors and got two offensive rebounds for points. I was really frustrated with that. In the second half, we just played tougher, played harder and played smarter, and we really gave it to him. |
Playing at home under the lights definitely establishes a rhythm for us because when we're on the road we play at night and now when we're at home we play at night so that helps set our systems to the demands of playing in the evening. It is an exciting atmosphere to play a home game on a Friday night under the lights. |
President Clinton's commitment to addressing climate change is a big step in the fight against global warming and economic injustice, ... It's gratifying that Clinton Global Initiative recognized our efforts to train climate change fighters from the same disenfranchised communities who suffer the most from its effects. |
Quite frankly, that surprised us in terms of the number of people who came out. We hadn't done it before so we were a little uncertain as to how many people would show. Our estimates had it in the six- or seven-thousand range, and to have over 14,000 surprised us - in a very positive way. We're very excited about that. |
Right after we beat Jacksonville [last Sunday], he addressed the players and said the focus would be just like every other week, a business-like approach. That's the focus of this team. It's truly been a one-week-at-a-time approach. I know that's a boring answer, but that's why we've been able to take care of business. |
Robert is a very smart and focused man, and he does his homework. He knew this was going to work if we executed the plan. Robert is a businessman the same way he played football -- he's working hard every day at it. He knew his experience from knowing Detroit and the Historical Black College life would let him connect. |
Ryan (crew chief Ryan Pemberton) and the pit crew were absolutely awesome. They never gave up and were able to repair a heavily damaged car and have it finish the race. I was very impressed and very proud of each and every one of the guys. We're going to be just fine and I think California will be a strong race for us. |
Ryan has a rubber arm, and I can put him out there for extended innings. I think Ryan's attitude has been great. We've talked a lot about it, and he's doing well. I'm very pleased with his attitude. He's a competitor and he wants to play and start -- I understand that. I wouldn't want him to feel differently than that. |
Sadly, these Republican legislators have no ideas, and they resort to cheap political shenanigans in an election year. The fact is that the governor is following the same discretionary hiring practices that previous governors -- Democrats and Republicans -- have used to implement policies and support their initiatives. |
