Earnings have been coming in by-and-large at better-than-expected levels. But a lot of that has been priced in, and so you're seeing some selling on the news. But the profit-taking is short-term. Longer term, we should continue to see strong economic reports that support the rally, and we should start to see analysts' estimates increase for the fourth quarter. |
Ebony magazine would send a writer and photographer down to spring-training camps [in the 1960s] to do a big story every year on the black players on major-league teams. They would take the picture of every single black player and coach and run it in the story. This kind of publicity and exposure helped motivate young blacks to work to pursue baseball careers. |
Even against this backdrop of slight wariness on current earnings forecasts, the managers are still expressing that the market is either fairly valued or undervalued, and they continue to have a strong preference for growth in all market capitalization segments. Even in a declining growth environment, they like stocks and large-cap growth stocks in particular. |
Every year we have said that our goal is just to get there (to the championship). We've accomplished what we wanted to do and there's nothing that would make us all happier than seeing that 2006 banner hanging in our gym. We struggled offensively tonight to put the ball in the basket, but our defense was good enough to win it and we'll see what happens Sunday. |
Everyone is congratulating us for having made history but we haven't done anything yet. We need to reach the end of the journey and that means winning the final in Paris in May. It's amazing what these young guys are doing and the stage that they are doing it on, but we can't let up. We must keep attacking and defending as a team and reach the end of the line. |
Everything in this basketball game was pretty much even, but they shot 33-of-39 (from the line). Everything else was pretty much even. It gets down to the free-throw line and making the free throws. The opportunity was there. That's no indictment on anyone but ourselves for not making free throws. It ends up really being the difference in your basketball game. |
Everything Reese does is flawless. The perfect ponytail ? it wasn't too much. It was youthful, but it was simple and elegant. I think the dress was flattering on her. I loved the sash. I loved the fact it was a tea-length dress instead of full length. Less is more with Reese. She didn't go dripping in diamonds, and I think she made the perfect style statement. |
Field researchers, for example, have to carry many replacement batteries to power their equipment, which take up a lot of weight and space in the pack. The Suspended-Load Backpack could help anyone with a need for power on the go, including researchers, soldiers, disaster relief workers or someone just looking to keep a mobile phone charged during a long trek. |
First of all, ... if you just opt out, you're protecting your information from being shared with telemarketers who use deceptive scripts to trick you into ordering junky products. If this decision is upheld, you're also protecting your Social Security number from being shared with information brokers and that might protect you from identity theft and stalking. |

Folks will see the birds and want to feed them. That is not a good idea, because it will prevent them from moving on. So people should not try to feed them. Also, people who don't have experience in trying to capture them should not attempt to capture them. It makes the whole situation harder. If you chase them around, they're only going to keep moving around. |
Football coaches have long been the greatest plagiarists in the world. [The spread offense] made the defense play a little more fair. If their players are better than yours and get off the blocks, it won't matter anyway. But if you want to give your kids a fighting chance and not get outnumbered at the point of attack, there's some value in the spread offense. |
Forrest Sherman represents the culmination of the art and expertise of building our nation's surface combatants. They have no peer in the world -- not even close. Today we build this ship for 55 percent of the cost of the original -- a far more capable ship for about half the price. This kind of stability empowers U.S. industry to give its best -- and we have. |
