We would like to have seen more revenue in the quarter, but we were held back by three items, ... First, demand for our microelectronics products -- from both outside customers and internal IBM customers -- far outstripped our ability to supply components. Second, the upcoming release of our new high-end server slowed demand for the System/390 family of servers. Finally, parts of our software business slowed unexpectedly in September. |

What ends up happening is, a school tries to get away with signing a guy once every four years instead of once every 2-3 years, ... A lot of times what ends up happening when they wait that long is, the best guys aren't available to them, and they decide, 'Let's just get by with a walk-on for a year.' Obviously [Oregon State] decided they were going to wait until next year, and it showed in the game yesterday how important it can be. |
What I go to bed praying for, and what I get up thinking about, is that the Tampa Bay eight (the seven players plus Dan Boyle, an alternate for Canada) stay healthy. It's a big-time concern. Look, we're damn proud of our Olympians. But at the end of the day, the issue for us is the NHL season. From that standpoint, so little good can come from it, and the negative could be catastrophic. We've told all of our players to light a candle. |

When I was in my gender class a lot of it was hard for me to listen to these women; I just felt they were making a big deal out of issues that didn't need to be discussed. Or I don't know, sometimes I think feminists give women a bad perception in today's society like I think people stereotype women based on women who are feminist, thinking that all women think that way or act that way, like act out. And I don't think that's the case. |
When you commit to a delivery alteration or different focus, which we've done with almost every single pitcher on the staff, it sometimes takes a while to get the consistent release point. It takes a while to be able to throw the baseball without concentrating on that alteration. Once it's ingrained in there to where they can throw without concentrating on that and put all of their focus on getting hitters out, then they pitch better. |
When you?re pushing and you?re pedaling for like two hours straight, it really helps your wind and your endurance, ... And you might not think about it, but you get a good upper body workout, too, because you?re just holding yourself up the whole time you?re pedaling. A lot of people who don?t ride bikes regularly, when they get off, their upper body is sore. They?re not used to holding themselves up for that long of a period of time. |
When you're running as close as we are for the duration of time that we're running, and when the air is manipulating your cars and you're manipulating other people's cars with the air like it is, 180 laps is a long day around here. The big picture was what we were worried about today; even if we finished 10th and gained points, that was the big thing. I wish we could have won it. We had an awesome car. But second place, we'll take it. |
While Atlanta as an administrative headquarters offers more immediate access to transportation, specialized skills and services, Americus as an operational hub offers the economy of established offices and access to an experienced Habitat workforce. This plan is one that allows us to honor our past and our ongoing dedication to south Georgia, while positioning us for an even stronger future as a more collaborative global organization. |
While working with entrepreneurs, I gained an understanding of what it takes to build a business from the ground up, and Iowa has a number of flaws in its bureaucracy that don't allow businesses to thrive and succeed, and most are prevented from even getting started. I understand what it takes to create jobs. Most importantly, I know how to listen to a customer and deliver what they want. It should be no different in state government. |
With 85 percent of kids ranking Easter baskets and hunting for eggs filled with candy as their top two Easter traditions, parents need to make a plan to ensure that the candy will last beyond Easter morning. Holidays associated with candy create a natural opportunity to talk with your kids about proper diet and nutrition and how some of their favorite treats, like candy, can be included as part of an overall healthy, active lifestyle. |
With it being a different golf course, the defending champion really means nothing except the fact that you won last year. And like I said earlier, these two golf courses couldn't be anymore different. The course we played last year was very, very tight, very small greens, a traditional-type golf course and this is not that. The fairways are very generous, just a lot of bunkering, huge, huge greens. It just has a whole different feel. |
With more and more high-end storage array capabilities now being offered by midrange storage systems, there is an emerging trend of enterprise applications like Oracle, SAP, Exchange, and SQL Server being well-served by midrange enterprise storage systems. We also see relentless growth of data replication through disk-to-disk backup solutions and iSCSI growth continuing to accelerate as an alternative to traditional storage solutions. |
