I think he'll have to demonstrate to people two things. One, that he seriously means business when he says he wants to stop all fire, but that he will continue very ardently, with the help of Mr. Powell and the United States and Europe, to implement the Mitchell plan that promises to freeze all settlement activities, implement all unimplemented parts of the peace process, and move towards a negotiated settlement on a permanent basis. |
I think Intel is still very good. It's done very well, but it is still a very, very strong story, ... I think Bank One is a very strong recovery story in the financial area. That usually does well as we see an economic recovery. Weyerhaeuser is in the forest products industry. A great secular story there in the next five to 10 years as home building picks up with the baby boomers getting older and the baby busters are getting bigger. |
I think we need to take a step back from the immediate and take a look at the long term. The fact remains that It's uncertain what the impact is going to be in the long term. We shouldn't underestimate the perseverance of the U.S. economy. I think by saying people are going to be too depressed to buy isn't telling the whole story. I think people understand what's happening in the economy and they know that they need to do their part. |
I thought going into the meet that Sibley would be favored at seven weights and I thought we could win seven matches. We did end up doing that. The key difference between the two teams' performance was they had three pins and a forfeit. You have to give credit to the Sibley kids there because they were wrestling hard all the time. I thought our guys worked hard for the pin too, but we just weren't able to get it as much as we needed. |
I worry that effective corrective measures will not be instituted soon enough. Climate does not necessarily change gradually. The multiple factors that are now destabilizing the global climate system could cause it to jump abruptly out of its current state. At any time, the world could suddenly become much hotter or even much colder. Such a sudden, catastrophic change is the ultimate health risk-one that must be avoided at all costs. |
I'd like to write again with Bob Dylan again. I have some ideas about where I want to go and I'd love to work with him, at least lyrically. It was a really painless writing experience, again I was intimidated and star-struck - in awe of his brilliance and the music that I loved as a kid, the songs of his I did in clubs. When I was in his presence, I was a kid, trying to quiet my mind from this mantra of 'Oh my god this is Bob Dylan!' |
I'll say this. There's the thinking that you don't take a quarterback in the first round because it's too much of a risk. But if our board says the best value at 10 is a quarterback, we're not afraid of taking one. Likewise, we've never reached for need. If there's a higher-rated player at 10, with one of the [top three] quarterbacks still available, we'll take the higher-rated player. We will stay true to the value of the 10th pick. |
I'm disgusted. I'm appalled. I think he should be held financially responsible for every business in the area that lost business and also for every community service that was involved, including helicopters and all the police. Not only the fact that he cost us the money and manpower and he scared the whole community, that doesn't even bring up the racial aspect of it, where he blames a black man for this ? that's even more appalling. |
I'm glad for Johnny [that it's over], but I'm disappointed in the fans. Without him they likely wouldn't have won the World Series, and you'd expect they would recognize that beyond the fact that he's wearing this uniform. He threw his body and soul out on this field, and I talked this way about him when he was on other teams. The [rivalry] has its charm, but there's a certain amount of respect, and that was disrespectful last night. |
I've been working on timing and getting my hands in the right position, just trying to get that feel back. It's hard to explain. You can do it in batting practice and you can do it in the cage, but to get in the game and to be able to settle your nerves a little bit and get in that mode when you can still get your swing off when the velocity picks up and you start facing off-speed pitches. I'm trying to find that rhythm, that timing. |
IBM made a big commitment to our customers and our open source strategy when we told the world we were making a substantial investment in Linux nearly six years ago. That included partnering with Red Hat and Novell. Our customers responded with incredible enthusiasm and today IBM's Linux business is growing faster than the industry. And that growth is propelling Novell and Red Hat to the top tier of IBM's strategic alliance partners. |
If a child scored a 300 in reading last year and the score improved to 350 this year, the child and their parents would each receive the increased difference between the two scores in tickets to use as cash in an auction of many large-ticket items at the beginning of the next school year. The kids may use their tickets separately or combined with parents' to bid on items such as big-screen televisions, bicycles, DVD players and more. |
If you can find a classic enterprise piece of software that sells for a few hundred dollars, then its maintenance, too, might have to be a little higher than the percent people think of as typical, ... I don't seriously propose it, but the way to get the percentage down would have been to raise the price of the original license, which I don't think anybody would have liked either. I think the Software Assurance price is a fair price. |
If you were a purist about language, you might think that this was a disease that people were contracting from contact with the show. If you are somebody who delights in that ephemeral novelty in language, then you realize that people are so impressed with what the show and that it's affected them so much, that at least mildly in their own language practices, they want to be a part of it, and I think that's interesting to see happen. |
In January 2003, he allowed President Bush to include the fraudulent claim about yellowcake uranium from Niger in the State of the Union address, ... In February 2003, he sat behind Colin Powell as he systematically presented intelligence on Iraqi WMD that was alarmist and untrue. Later in February 2003, he did not clarify the CIA's intelligence position when the on-the-ground U.N. weapons inspectors reported their negative findings. |
