Last year, we didn't know for a long time if we would manage to get the new car ready in time. I think we will be more competitive this year. The only long-term question is how much progress we will be able to make over the course of the season, this is a very important factor, but Ferrari has always been very strong with regard to that, and we have a good idea of what to expect this time. We are looking forward to a tough challenge. |
LSI has achieved first pass success on this product, which is unique in the industry and is a testament to our expander expertise and SAS development process. Using LSI, OEMs have the opportunity to source expanders and controllers from a single vendor, providing proven interoperable solutions and the lowest risk path to success. By reducing the number of vendors to be managed, these OEMs can speed products to their customers faster. |
Much has been written about the rise of ‘super mums’ and how they juggle careers with raising a family. However, there are also many 'super dads' who as well as holding down jobs, also do a lot of work around the home - from DIY to cooking. If you have a family, it’s important to have adequate life insurance to help look after them, so that should something happen to you, your family will be supported financially. |
Oh, they're fans, ... Trust me, I wasn't happy with some of those plays, either. But during the whole year, you're going to have adversity. That's just a constant in football. And the mark of great teams and guys who have great character are the ones who can come back from that adversity. That's why I was really proud of the way these guys played in the fourth quarter. It's something we really wanted to work on coming into this year. |
Oh, yeah, you can tell we've got [defenses] guessing a little bit now, ... We hit the slip screen [a short pattern toward the middle of the field] out of two different formations [Sunday], and both times got a chunk of yards off it. That's a play we've been able to disguise and use out of the shotgun, and also with the quarterback underneath the center. Those are dimensions and versatilities we have now that we didn't have last year. |
One of the other things I like about the April program is it gives me a chance to talk some to the audience. In researching this, I found some interesting connections between these pieces. During the time ragtime was popular, it was a world-wide craze. Brahms wrote some, and so did Stravinsky. In fact, the last thing Stravinsky wrote before 'A Soldier's Tale' was a ragtime piece, and that helps explain the quirky style of that piece. |
Our best opportunity to build shareholder value is to have fewer priorities and to pursue them with greater intensity. We have applied that thinking to both our strategies and our portfolio. This action reflects the company's continued commitment to brands which have the ability to achieve sustainable national market leadership and a high potential to achieve significant and consistent growth in share, revenue, and return on capital. |
Our New York customers are among the most demanding and tech savvy in the nation and, while other wireless carriers play catch-up, we will continue to deliver the reliable and innovative services our customers demand. In 2006, we'll continue to focus on the fundamentals of our business -- providing the best network, superior customer service and advanced, innovative products and services -- day in and day out, one customer at a time. |
Over the past decade, global and Asian investors have become more aware of the impact of environmental, social, and governance variables on their investments. Whether it is a question of watching companies struggle with persistent environmental challenges or evaluating the impact of labor disputes, investors in Asian equities must increasingly look at a range of global sustainability issues to assess the long-term value of companies. |
People talk about consumer confidence, but that is a misleading phrase. There are a number of factors that mean people just have less money. Mortgage rates are at a historic high for many people. The fuel price is another major contributory factor. We don't see any particular reason why any of that will change for at least another six months or so. We reckon we can grow market share, but that will be through increasing selling space. |
Right now, we're doing what we always do, for the most part. Our focus has been a little longer on just individual development, trying to develop technical skills with individual players, so that they are more comfortable with the ball. So, our approach with tactics is quite delayed. Part of the learning that maybe in the past couple of years has come during training will probably not come until we get into the first couple of games. |
Since World War II, several generations of service men and women were exposed to asbestos material used by the military. Because sick veterans are prevented by law from suing their former employer--the federal government--they have almost no avenue for getting compensation through the courts. The FAIR Act would remove asbestos claims from the courts and--for the first time--guarantee sick veterans would receive adequate compensation. |
Single family housing starts, which correlate closely with changes in average mortgage rates, remain robust for now, ... We should start to see this series moderate in future months as higher mortgage rates keep a lid on borrower interest. However, mortgage rates have plenty of room to move before they even reach pre-recession levels. As a result, we may not see a slowdown in housing construction until the autumn months of this year. |
So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee / Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. |
So it tends to reinforce existing prejudices that map onto spatial dimensions of a city. And it also tends to reinforce certain economic divisions within cities in terms of political power as well as in terms of representation. Typically, if you have less affluent areas of a city, they may not be able to develop a wide political base to make their voices actively heard within electoral politics throughout a city-government structure. |
