We've gone a long way to discounting a favorable outcome -- you're getting the rally that should have taken place the day the bombs fell. The real question is how much longer are the hedge funds going to let the market go before they put on short positions again. Valuations, North Korea -- you don't hear about this stuff anymore, but it's still out there. |
We've had a lot of longtime customers who have been coming here for decades. We anticipate the product is going to be such a step up, it will set a new standard in the downtown area. We think our customers, who have been loyal to us, understand that what we'll be providing is so much better than what we have now. They'll want to come back and test it out. |
We've hit a home run with this sponsorship. The teams love it, the communities love it and our clients and employees love it. So we decided to go for a triple play and extend this sponsorship through 2009. The Principal Family Fun Fest is a great way to bring wholesome, family-oriented entertainment to the communities where our clients and employees live. |
We've still got to make sure that shin heals; it's like a rehab/recovery process. The reality now for Lauren is that she's never going to be healthy from the knee to ankle. It's: How do we best manage that? It's going to be different for me and her. It's very difficult when it's your star player on a treadmill or bike on the sideline. We've got to adjust. |
What I wanted from them is what I got. I wanted the effort to win and if you give the effort, that?s all you can do. No one expected a team that?s 9-11 to come out and beat a team that?s 19-1. Nobody. If we could have done just a little bit better job in execution and had some more continuity on the offensive end, I thought we could have played with them. |
What they were trying to do was to invent a new visual language for the 20th century, ... And what they did was they took the Renaissance window -- one point perspective illusion -- and it's as if they took a piece of glass over this painting and shattered it, creating all these fragments and planes. And then took those planes together and reassembled it. |
What used to be one day has really turned into what we call All-Star Week. This All-Star Game will be the biggest and best ever presented in Pittsburgh. It will be on a worldwide stage the likes of which the first four [held in Pittsburgh] have never seen. Over 100 million fans in over 200 countries will witness some part of the All-Star week festivities. |
When a big incumbent like Microsoft gets into the data protection game with a generally available product, the vendors that have had solutions in that space for a number of years are throwing their hats in the ring, ... Most of the data protection and backup software companies are announcing something next week that has Microsoft integration capabilities. |
When the president's agenda didn't have full support by Republicans in the House, he made sure it gets done and passes. He got everything from the president's tax relief to Bush's money for AIDS initiative in Africa. For DeLay, success begot success. Once he was able to deliver on a few big things early on in the Republican majority, it built upon itself. |
When we began to think about our clients' interests, we discovered a common passion for motorcycles. Therefore, we created an event that is centered on that common passion. This passion for riding, coupled with the need to learn about the latest models of John Deere equipment has led to our employees, vendors and customers having a fantastic day together. |
When we were putting the album together and finishing up the artwork, I didn't know what was going to happen in the future, and I told everyone that. I told them, 'Let's commit to this year, and see what happens,' ... And that was one of the reasons why I put that quote in there, because I thought it's a really nice way to say goodbye, if it is a goodbye. |
When you go through something like that and you come out of there, you appreciate everything you have at that point, because of the simple fact you had to work. We had to go through some troubled times. But I believe that's when you build character. That's what happened with this team. The core guys who went through that, that's why we're so strong today. |

When you turn the ball over, they're going to make you pay for it. Let me put it that way. Against some teams you can get away with turning the ball over 23 times. Carolina, if you turn it over 23 times, they're probably going to make you pay on at least half of them and convert them into easy shots. We just didn't make good decisions with the basketball. |
Whether it's Vioxx or Bextra or silicone implants, the rule now is 'Buyer Beware,' ... The drug and device companies own the FDA and it is the companies' profit potential that rules the review and approval process - except when the profit motive is overridden by the White House morality police, as with the morning-after pill. |
