In a way, this game was harder [than the Denver and Washington games]. There was a lot of pressure in this game, especially coming off last week. Offensively, the pressure was coming up with the points. Defensively, it was 'can you stop this team?' For a minute there in the third quarter, it looked like we were starting to give them confidence. If you do that, they can come back and win. |

Initially, we asked AP to conduct fitness performance tests on our squad and provide us with a plan of action through the World Cup in 2006. Having our own staff involved has meant that we have been able to compare some of the results from our testing of the current squad with that of previous squads to help us gauge where we are during the preparation period leading up to the World Cup. |
Integrity of financial transactions, confidentiality within a virtual enterprise, privacy of customer data and availability of critical infrastructure all depend on strong security mechanisms. IBM Research and Business Consulting Services work together to offer world-class solutions to everyday security threats that make sense for your business, whether you have 100 employees or 100,000. |
Ironically, with all this strength, the net effect of these data on the fourth-quarter GDP number could be flat or possibly even marginally negative. This is because durable goods inventories were flat, which should more or less offset the positive influence of the stronger-than-anticipated December shipments figures. For first quarter GDP, however, these data are unambiguously positive. |
It has been a challenging experience to go back, and the type of challenge is different for everyone I take there. Some people I interview are off guard by how disturbing it really is, and some are ready to say goodbye. Some have a profound hunger to go back. My impression is that it is a healing experience, and the audience, through the filming, is healed by the reaction to going there. |
It is safe being in a very dangerous country but the keys are speed and unpredictability. He's going to go into Islamabad for a very short period of time. It's going to be unpredictable. When Clinton went there six years ago there were so many vehicles in the convoy, nobody knew where the president was at all. It was like a show game. They'll do the same thing for President Bush on this. |
It is vitally important, our relationship with the United Way. We depend completely on the United Way as our fund-raising component. We ... use our donated moneys as matching funds for our state and federal grants training programs. In other words, for every dollar I receive, I can generate an additional $6 to $10, which ... goes into the operational make-up and funding for our programs. |
It seems that the kids are doing more at home now, outside of our school. We talk about that a lot, how three times a week is not enough activity to really benefit their health. We suggest that they exercise every day of the week, get up away from the computer and get moving. They can even exercise while they are watching television, or there are Play Station games that include exercise. |
It was two different teams. (Friday) night I felt we came out ready to play, and that was a big game for us. One thing I was afraid of was having a physical and emotional letdown, and I felt that definitely happened today. The feeling in the locker room before the game was mellow, and there wasn't much talk about basketball. Rice Lake came out and got after us. That's what good teams do. |
It would be just like baseball. It would have been very easy for him to say, 'I have the largest market and I don't want to share.' Which is what we have going on right now. We do have a group who believes the reason they have success is they're so much smarter than everyone else. I'm not begrudging them for having that thought, but they have to understand where it all came from and why. |
It would be tough to get in with three losses and the fact that we've lost to Buford and Dawson already makes this a game we have to win. But it's the same for Wesleyan since they have two losses. Last week was the game we really needed to win. It was at home and we thought we had done enough to win it. So now we have to find a way to win on the road, which is tough to do in this region. |
It would be very disappointing, very disappointing. But sometimes things don't work the way you want them to. Sometimes, you have to go through valleys to achieve good things. But right now, the season is far from being over. The only scenario I'm looking at is us needing to win these last three games. We can do it. I have no doubt in my mind that we can. We just have to put it together. |
It's a position where a lot of times they say they don't want to draft people too high because they think 'How much impact can a linebacker have?' I guess it's understandable. Obviously we're not big defensive ends who are going to get 15 to 18 sacks a year. We're not going to be a running back who's going to rush for 1,500 yards. But all I want's a chance, regardless of where I'm taken. |
It's hard to imagine what the upside catalyst is, what specifically is going to change things and lead GM to a turnaround. The list of negatives is so long, and you look at the positives and there's just not enough there to have any confidence at all. ... It probably will get worse before it gets better, so it's possible that GM will be a buy again someday, but that day's a long way off. |
