I'm enjoying myself more now than I ever have in my life. I think it's a hard thing to continue to comeback and do it. Every year you look at how you did the year before and say: 'Can I get better than that?', 'Can I do better than that?', 'Is there something more to my career than that?' It's always fun to try one-up every year. Try go a little faster, try and do a little better each time. That's the fun part of it. |
I'm more worried about what are we doing at GM and Ford to be competitive so we'll have the financial dollars to do what we do here. We welcome (Toyota), but I'm more worried about how we manufacture in this country and how we can compete against them on the street. I know our whole point is to race on Sunday and sell on Monday. We just need to have good business models at Ford and GM so we can compete on the street. |
I've seen him far more tense. Whenever he has a formal press conference in the East Room or something, he's terrible. I mean, he's really tense and nervous. I thought he was relatively relaxed -- after that confrontation with Helen Thomas [in which] he let his real self show, that is, the self that many of his advisers see in private. [Laughs] He's known to have quite a temper and to cut people off when he disagrees. |

Impact 360 illustrates a trend in the industry dovetailing call centers' performance goals with the corporate aims of their companies. The solution brings together the tools that agents and supervisors track to bolster contact center performance. This not only sets a standard for what call centers should look for in workforce optimization software, but it also helps them understand how they can perform at their best. |
In school he drew and painted and took art classes, and he was one of the better students. I assumed that would be the path that he followed. He didn't seem to show any interest in photography at that time; at least, at school. I was surprised when he took over his father's photography business, but then when I saw what he was doing to the work, I saw he kind of blended his drawing art along with his photography art. |

It is not clear how far the Russians will go in trying to persuade the U.S. to discuss such an arrangement. They, like the Chinese, adopted a weak and pusillanimously pro-U.S. stance at the IAEA. Unlike in September, when they abstained on a motion holding Iran 'non-compliant' with its obligations to the IAEA and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, on Feb. 4, they voted for a Western-sponsored anti-Iran resolution. |
It was the best present I could ever give. So fast forward, here we are... 'Hey, we're going to the Super Bowl.' (Kathy) said, 'Do you feel bad that I'm not going with you?' And you know what, I said I'm very proud of her, she works very hard and there's a lot more things that are important than coaching a football game. She has her own life. Her heart's here, even though she's going to be in Africa with my daughter. |
It was very strange. We had obviously a lot more time to tell the story than we did when we were shooting the series. But ... to me it just felt like so similar ... to the show. ... Everything just felt a little more spectacular. It just felt a little grander, and there was a wonderful feeling of redemption to sort of come back with these people. It was this great reunion, and so it was a wonderful energy on the set. |
It will be a definite challenge for him. Maybe he got bored with his life. He can do just as much from the corporate seats being an owner than he can from behind the bench. You have to have the type of person who will get (ticked) off and motivate. He's too nice of a guy. It's hard to get mad at a guy like that. As nice a player as he was on the ice, he was a nicer guy off of it. You need a coach to get in your face. |
It's important that anyone with risk factors such as being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, being over the age of 45, or leading an inactive lifestyle, take action. We'd like to encourage people to take the Risk Test at their local Rite Aid pharmacy, and if they score high, talk to their doctor about their results at their next visit. It's a simple, seven-question assessment that could save your life. |
It's ridiculous. It's not like last year when I had to compensate for my hip and my shoulder. Now I feel great, and now everything isn't the same. The ball is moving the way I want it to, but something mechanically is throwing me off. I need to figure that one thing out. I've got two days to do it. Then again, I may get out there Tuesday night and it may just fall into place because it's a totally different ballgame. |
Jeff's leadership created a focus and energy on aligning Sunkist growers and packers with the changing demands of the marketplace -- from the end consumer to key retail and foodservice customers. He also was instrumental in the development of the California Citrus Growers Association to align the citrus industry in the west to grow the category. Jeff built a great management team and is leaving Sunkist in good hands. |
