Our underlying business experienced distinct improvements, including cash generation, in the current quarter. We continue to be selective with our product mix to maximize our financial results, and we are continuing to capitalize on opportunities that exist in our region, including emerging markets, by offering innovation, differentiation, and speed-to-market advantages to our customers. |
Peer-to-peer technology has benefits, but it also carries many dangers, the most egregious of which is the potential for widespread and unauthorized piracy. Without the permission of the author of the work, who will be able to tell when personal use ends and piracy begins? It is the fundamental question of what is fair and right for the creators and those who made that creation possible. |
People go for different reasons. Consequently, it makes it more challenging for the league or a given team to put out a single, coherent marketing message that says, 'This is the reason you attend.' You see that throughout sports, but it's a little bit more fragmented in soccer because you have the multiple target markets and you have the difference in the style and size of the stadiums. |
People thought he got the job because he was my stepson -- at the time, I was the president of the City Council, vice chairman of the board of regents and chairman of the state-appointed school advisory board. But I think Eddy?s proved he was more than qualified to do this job. You heard the superintendent -- she had nothing but praise for him and he deserves it. He?s done a bang-up job. |
Picture an iceberg. The bulk of its power lies below the surface. The part of the iceberg that sunk the Titanic, for example, was not the 10 percent above the water; it was the 90 percent below the surface that did the damage. For human beings, it is also often true that the 90 percent below the surface—our unconscious beliefs, attitudes and habits—sinks our fondest hopes and dreams. |
Probably one of the best hitting hands that I've worked with in baseball or softball. She's got a little pop in her bat. She should do some exciting things here for a couple of years. People have already shown interest in Jacquie and Dore before we've even played a game, based on what they've done in the fall and what they've done in the past. They're trying to take them from me already. |
Protecting the environment has been a top priority of the Department of the Attorney General. Those who violate our environmental laws must know that when they are caught, they will pay a very heavy price. That is the only way to deter the type of conduct that took place here. This case is an example of the exceptional cooperation between the State of Hawaii and the EPA, which continues. |

Salaries haven't kept up with inflation, and there is such anger coming out of Washington about immigrants that I think it has curtailed the ability of local folks here to hire immigrants, ... I really believe it starts from the top, and the policy continues to be one of ignoring people at the bottom, cutting taxes for those on the top and spending a lot of money for a war built on lies. |
She's great. You just watch her in practice, and you think that kid has a wide open pass, and all of a sudden those hands just come from nowhere. She has a good eye for the ball. She has a good read for the ball. We call her, 'spider.' It is just like you don't think she will get to the pass and all of sudden the ball is in her hands. She has a good sense for the ball and she works hard. |
Shelly Finkle is their manager - the best manager in all of boxing - Shelly will make the decision when they are ready, ... He will let me know, then Russ and I will work to make the fight with Shelly. Anthony and Lamont are already fighting 10 rounders. I think they are both really strong, really skilled -- within 24 months they will be fighting for world titles. |
Smithsonian researcher Linda Perry's analysis of starch grains extracted from sediment samples and stone tools discovered at the site revealed two kinds of corn that had been ground into flour. No one has found a record of either from anywhere near this time for this part of Peru. At this early time period, agricultural hadn't been demonstrated in the highlands of Peru, Bolivia or Chile. |
So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road.' |
Some new actors are focused on whether they do a good job delivering their lines when they're acting, but scenes without dialogue are harder because you have no lines to portray that you're doing something. Jay Chou didn't have this problem. There were a lot of scenes without dialogue in the movie, but he has a very strong imagination. He would try to figure out what's the situation now. |
