There are two key challenges to the U.S. market: one is Fed policy -- and it's still our concern that the Fed will be increasing rates this side of Christmas; secondly, it's the slowing corporate earnings outlook. Although corporate earnings are still probably going to rise, I think there's a concern that numbers may come in below consensus and drive the markets down. |
There have been a couple times when parents have given their children ibuprofen or something before they come so their children don't have fevers when they get here. I wish all the parents would be more faithful and honest about it. Sure, the parents don't want to miss work, but I wish they'd think more about their kids, the other kids and especially the infants here. |
There is a growing frustration among the public and members of Congress with this blatant disregard for a law overwhelmingly passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President. The U.S. Congress clearly responded to the American public's demand for an end to slaughter and the USDA is choosing to violate this act to shelter three foreign-owned slaughterhouses. |
There isn't any conceivable reason why Iran needs a missile of intercontinental range if it's worried about regional security issues. It already has, in the Shahab-3, a missile that should allow it to deter or intimidate, if that's its goal, its neighbors. So it's a little puzzling why they would want missiles of longer range, but apparently they are working on those. |
There really are two different ways of approaching music. There's the real pop way where it's like here's the song and here's your part and you play the same part every time. Then there's the jazz concept or approach where it's like well, here's a tune, here's the basic chord structure and melody, and you find your own part by listening to what other people are doing. |
There's an absolute enthusiasm for the sports they cover that comes through on the pages of the magazine. I have seen Lois leaning off the back of a motorcycle to get the best possible photo for the magazine, and Bob is out at races once or twice a week enjoying every second of that. When you translate that enthusiasm to the magazine, it makes the magazine successful. |
There's nothing wrong if you're not my type of guy, but I think guys should have the fire burning inside them. I always knew what games to get up for. I can read. I knew who was who. There's a discipline in me. I take a deep breath. Do I need to act out? Or is there another way. I'm not looking for a crown or brass ring. I just look to get the best out of each player. |
There's such vitriol and backlash out of consumers to price increases that you want to get it over all at once. If you have to use a hammer to hit your thumb, would you rather five small taps or one hit? That's essentially what's going on. On the way down, there's nervousness about whether the commodity markets are going to spin around and take all your margins again. |
These kids grew up 30 miles south of the (University of California) Berkeley campus, which was ripe with revolution, ... And they couldn't have cared less about the politics going on. They were in the garage tinkering with their electronics and starting a revolution that was a thousand times greater than anything that was going on on the college campuses, politically. |
They all have had their own unique things about them, but the X Games was the best. It was so unusual. La Jolla turned it away due to neighborhood complaints ... and in a matter of months we had them. ESPN, the athletes ... I have to believe, fiscally, it was a winner for us, and you can't put a price tag on international exposure. We hooked ourselves up with a giant. |
They made some key plays that got them the lead again and they held onto the lead from that point on. In the fourth, Gilbert made some big plays and got to the free-throw line. He' a great player, but we still had opportunities to get the fifth seed. I am glad to be in the playoff, but anyone in this locker room who says he's just happy to be in the playoffs is lying. |
They were like all of us, me included, looking for someone to feel sorry for you. But that's the nature of the game. That game is not going to determine what type of season we have. That game is not going to be the determining factor of what happens in December. How we react to that game is going to determine what type of a season we have. And our guys have responded. |
They'd asked that we all stay down on the first floor. Then all of a sudden, we looked and there was water seeping in under the doors. The wind was blowing. The kitchen and everything was flooded downstairs, so they weren't able to do anything for us. So they scrambled around and found some bread and made sandwiches for us. They got water up to us. We fared very well. |
They've been that way for about the last five years. They've been very consistent. Take a look at what they've done as a team - wins and losses, defense, offense. They're a complete football team. There's a good reason why they went into Indy and beat Indy and really had a chance to dominate the game. A couple calls here and there and they dominate that football game. |
This approval clears the way for us to begin construction on what will become one of the premier mixed-use developments in the nation. The ability to include lofts, condominiums and other residential options within the Garden District guarantees that, as the city said, this will be unlike anything that currently exists in Allen. Everyone is exited about its potential. |
