We've had this program since the mid-1970s and it's really become a part of the corporate culture, not just for Intel but for many other Silicon Valley companies as well, ... It's funny because you start to measure things in 7-year increments. If you say, 'I've been here for six years,' someone will always say, 'Oh! One more year till sabbatical.' |
We've heard from our community of eBay users that economical, fast and reliable shipping services are essential in continuing to maximize their profitability on eBay. This new online shipping tool not only provides savings on the cost of shipping but also the ability to manage online sales and shipping needs easily and conveniently from one place. |
We've never collected a rental tax before, so there is only speculation on the amount of revenue it might generate, ... If it were to generate more than is anticipated we may not need a lodgings tax increase, or maybe not as much of one. I think within a few months -- three or four -- we will have a good idea of what it will generate for the year. |
What Lindsey did is fine. She tried to throw a bit of style into the jump. Unlucky she caught an edge on the landing. It's mean-spirited to attack her for that. So she doesn't get to take home the golden souvenir. She knows how well she did. She knows how well she could have run in that race. It's sport. It's not war. It's not even a bad marriage. |

What the Israeli public has lost today is the unprecedented degree of optimism, with the only person who could carry out unpopular historic decisions incapacitated. You don't see any figure of his status with the courage, the political acumen and the domestic strength to carry out such decisions. The whole public was waiting for Sharon's last act. |
What we look for are people that can come in and make an impact. They are brave and challenging, and really understand the business drivers. They need lots of ideas, be willing to thrive in a fast moving environment. They need to be prepared to stand up and ask difficult questions. A 'can do' attitude is more important than great technical skills. |

When I sold that stock, the company had just completed an analyst call reporting its quarterly numbers, ... ... I was in Asia at the time when I read this report and our CEO at the time reconfirmed guidance both for the quarter and for the year, so the suggestion that I sold stock based on information that was not readily available is not correct. |
When I take the drought [in the Midwest] this summer with the orange juice situation, I feel more comfortable that, in the next nine months or so, we may see [rising] food prices...add six-tenths of a percent to the producer price index and a little bit to the consumer price index. That makes the argument for deflation that much more unreasonable. |
When Ruth Handler introduced Barbie in 1959, she didn't want any story attached to the doll whatsoever, because she wanted the girls to create it all out of their imaginations. Today, girls interact with story in a different way. They're used to watching television shows, they're used to having characters brought to life for them in dramatic ways. |
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny. |
When you look at the inner workings of electrical things, you see wires. Until the current passes through them, there will be no light. That wire is you and me. The current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us, to produce the light of the world, Jesus, in us. Or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread. |

While our clinical trial has been through its third and final scheduled safety review by our independent data monitoring committee and we are nearing completion of enrollment, safety issues always take precedence.
