It depends on how many nodes you're talking about. A minimal survivable radio network for emergency crews, the improvement of state emergency-management operation centers ? these kind of steps are feasible. But when people start talking about a nationwide survivable network, I tell them, 'Welcome to what's called the real world.' No one is going to pay for such a thing. |
It doesn't bother me, but I get a kick out of it, because now, you're putting expectations on yourself for no reason, ... Just go out there and play, and play hard, have fun, win a ballgame, be humble about it and go out and try to do it the next day again, instead of having that bravado. All of a sudden you've got to back up bravado. You don't have to back up humility. |
It doesn't seem like there has been much pressure in the playoffs. At the end of the year when we kind of lost that lead [in the Central], there was a little bit of pressure. But it seemed like once we got it rolling at the end of the season and into the postseason, it doesn't seem like there has been much pressure on us. We've gone out there and taken care of business. |
It felt normal to me. I was very well prepared mentally and knew what I had to do. I had been there [Sebring] a lot of times, so I felt normal. For sure, in the first five laps, you feel the power. I said, 'Ooh, this car has a little bit more power than I thought it would have.' But then after a few laps, you just get used to it, and I came back the way I used to drive. |
It gives Republicans the chance to define our nominee before our nominee has a chance to define himself, ... Usually, you get a fully fleshed-out profile of who the nominee is, and voters know who you are. This year, because of this calendar, voters are going to be learning about the Democratic nominee, after the primary is over. And so the [Democratic] message suffers. |
It is important to stress, however, that the Y2K problem is not a technical issue alone. World publics must be adequately informed not only about the scale and importance of the problem, but also about its nature so that the inevitable disruptions that will occur sometime, somewhere, in the first days of the year 2000 do not trigger worldwide trepidation, or even panic. |
It is important to take stock of where we are in 2006. In the last decade, the Bell monopolies have all but wiped out their telephone competitors; they have swallowed their long-distance competitors; and with the announcement of the AT&T-BellSouth merger, they are on the verge of recreating Ma Bell. And only one competitor really stands in their way: the cable industry. |
It is so emotional when you have been through a season and all the things our kids have tried to do to compete in a new conference. There were a lot of tears of joy in my basement. We are excited and anxious. We know we have an unbelievable opponent (Washington). We will know more about them when we dive into preparation. Right now we are just kind of soaking it all in. |
It is time to make good on the nation's promises. More funds for affordable housing must be made available immediately, through the new money that must be approved by Congress and through state plans that target the lowest income communities. This is the critical first step to a long road to recovery that builds back better, through federal support of local initiatives. |
It just came down to the one break. I had my chance to go for the break in the third, and to get back even in the last game, and I just didn't win those couple of points today. So you know, I didn't start the match playing well, but I was able to turn that around and start to play better and played well at the end of the second set. And even the third set I played okay. |
It made it tough for everybody no matter where they were. One was a conference signing period and the other was the national signing period. Even after a kid had signed his letter-of-intent for the conference, schools could just wait around and start recruiting that player because they really only had one school to beat. It wasn't a binding letter like the national one. |
It makes me a little concerned because the only visitation they should be having is supervised visitation and if they're showing up at a foster home, that obviously to us was unannounced. That makes me a little concerned as to what's going to happen in the future, you know, if they're going to start showing up at schools and stuff like that. I find that real concerning. |
It makes you realize that we blew an opportunity to be closer. Going all the way back to the second game of the season, we've had some difficulty making clutch free throws. If your mind is on anything else but your technique, you're probably in trouble. If it's on the score and the clock -- 'I hope I make it,' and all those kinds of things -- you're probably in trouble. |
It means that we are not even catching up with today's needs. This morning, I found that the wheat is flowing in but that no commercial containers are being allowed in. Palliated goods are moving slowly. So as I say it is a very meager effort and if it does not open up to its full commercial capacity we will continue on this steady decline towards a humanitarian crisis. |
It takes a while to find your niche. You're pressing. You're trying to live up to this, trying to live up to that. And when you just kind of calm down and be yourself ? it took me a while just to be myself (with a) new coaching staff, new teammates, new organization, new system ? once you find a way to blend in without trying to do too much, everything falls into place. |
