If they're late and the people are waiting, I feel an obligation to keep them entertained somehow, ... I'm not trying to be Bob Hope. But I do feel that if I can keep their minds occupied and keep them somewhat entertained, they'll enjoy themselves more. I'm real serious about spectators having fun. I just feel badly if they come there and leave disappointed. |
If we hadn't had a recession a year ago, and we were watching the fall in employment, a stalling manufacturing sector, falling bond yields and falling stock prices, many people would think we were entering a recession. There's an assumption that the recovery will continue and get stronger next year, when in fact it's possible the economy's tipping over again. |
If we want equity in the workplace, we need to be more thoughtful about how we collectively build the culture of success. A contest to out-perform peers for a prize or to become a top producer is not a universal form of motivation or measure of success. We may all be better served by workplaces and communities that foster co-operation rather than competition. |
If you allow those who are the most vocal and most antagonistic to get a meeting with the president for fear that publicity will hurt you if you don't, you're creating incentives for your critics to become even more antagonistic and more vocal. Then, you're forever stuck in: Will you or won't you meet? You'll no longer lead. You'll just wrestle with meetings. |
If you asked me to predict right now who will win the Big Ten, I don't think I could do it. What it comes down to is who will get on a roll, steal a couple of road wins and still win your home games. It's one of those situations where only the strong are going to survive. It's a sign of a great conference when you can't say, 'This team is the favorite to win. |
If you give him the right car and the car is balanced properly, it's got the right aero numbers and all that, and then he's got to drive it, that makes it much easier to bring a guy in and be competitive right off, ... I'm excited that we're able to do that as a company, to be able to provide Carl with such a great opportunity. And he's taken advantage of it. |
If you have sex, there is other irritation going on, so we wanted to make sure that the only irritation going on would be from lime, not your fun weekend. So, it was really important that people were abstinent. I am happy to report that we did not see any severe irritation. Nevertheless, don't try this at home-don't start to use lime or skip condoms tomorrow. |
In a way, I don't think that in the end when you look back over the work - I think the work is more important. I'm very happy that I was able to be a major collaborator in such a great body of work. And obviously the majority of the writing was Ray, but I think it was a little bit sad that I didn't get credited with more input on a lot of the important songs. |
In addition to the new technology demonstrations, we have a large number of vendors who have committed to the show. Pipe-welding demonstrations for stock-water systems, new brush-management techniques, animal science demonstrations, weed control and seeding, forage harvest equipment and conservation-easement alternatives should provide something for everyone. |
In each instance, Sam has done far more than manage operations effectively, ... He has made it both his personal mission and that of IBM to become the number one competitor in each of these markets. Sam's unique mix of strategic vision, passion and discipline, combined with his intimate understanding of IBM, make him the right person to become IBM's next CEO. |

In July [2005] the SCC came out with the final list, and we had two projects that made it on. They were the athletic field project at Jose Marti Middle School and the new Columbus School on 15th street and Palisade Avenue. It is my understanding that they have acquired all the property needed for Columbus school, including the controversial 1501 Palisade Ave. |
In other words, exactly what the commission predicted would occur as a result of Microsoft's illegal bundling behavior has occurred: Real has been marginalized, ... The lesson is that the commission is right to have found Microsoft to have engaged in illegal conduct, but that it erred in taking so long to decide the case and in imposing an ineffective remedy. |
In recent years, consumers shop online later and later in the holiday season, making the week prior to the holidays the peak in online holiday shopping, with over half of shoppers completing all of their purchases. With guaranteed delivery by Dec. 24 and additional discounts and incentives, online retailers continue to court shoppers until late in the season. |
In the 1950s, about a quarter of corporate executives died before they hit 65 so they died in office. There was a notion that you better get out by 65 if you want a retirement. Now, people are living longer and they're also living healthier. People don't have to retire so they say the heck with it. You see these founding CEO-type folks hanging around forever. |
