Chuck D. Pro Quotations

By implementing JDA's software that merges timely, accurate transaction information with actionable, enterprise-wide intelligence and excellent planning capabilities, our entire organization will benefit. We expect to improve reporting capabilities, reduce out of stocks, increase turns and improve audit trails. We also anticipate taking advantage of managing by exception, as it is no longer feasible for our organization to efficiently manage 500 plus stores by day, by SKU.

Clearly the message has gotten through to most parents that children 12 and under should always ride correctly buckled in the back seat. It's the combination of education, stronger seat belt and child passenger safety laws, and high-visibility enforcement that has produced the behavior change we see today.

He always told me that Lonnie was the best agent he ever dealt with. Lonnie worked out contracts for me when I was in Detroit, New Jersey and Orlando, and I never worried that we'd have problems with management afterwards.

Trade barriers do not address competitiveness problems. Barriers do not create incentives to restructure, consolidate, reform, and innovate. (Tariffs will) increase the likelihood of a prolonged economic recession through inflationary prices.

You're looking at more high-octane stocks that can produce strong gains.

When she first started, the program was trying to get its feet on track. In the four years since she's been here, we can compete with anyone now.

That consistency has lent itself to quality football teams and quality programs and traditions that lends itself to seeing what you're seeing this year.

We are confident that the M80 Stiletto's design is superior to all other existing technologies. Nothing else is out there that can achieve the qualities important to brown water vessels at a relatively low cost with short design and production cycles.

We don't want to create future environmental problems by trying to solve this one.

We have been cooperating, providing documents and answers, and we did so again on Tuesday. It's not unusual for a company with the successful track record of Intel to come under scrutiny.

We are now producing a significant amount of oil from the North Slope of Alaska, all (with) environmentally sound technology, ... That environment has not been disrupted ... it's in as good a shape as before we ever put a drill in there.

We are going to be very conscious of private property rights. All these cars and houses and boats still belong to somebody, and we can't go in and mass destroy all of them without some kind of order from the governor or the president.

We had some fans claim that they can get a cheaper rate during the State Fair than during state basketball. (CHSAA) thought the problem had been taken care of; then I went to an outreach meeting with some of the small outlying schools and they asked about it again.

Counter programming has always been a very necessary ingredient of the type of pictures we make. There's no question, if we do it properly we can really score.

It's the tension between the marks on a flat surface, and then the image built, that interested me. And I was always a dyed-in-the-wool formalist anyway. I think process sets you free, because you know you don't have good days or bad days. You just show up. You don't wait for inspiration.

This individual was fortunate he was not ejected from his vehicle due to the fact he was wearing a seat belt, ... We see so many accidents, especially where the vehicle rolls over, where the driver or occupants, who aren't properly restrained, get thrown from the vehicle.

That's a positive. He's got a whole year under his belt and has improved quite a bit.

It is disturbing that there are individuals, driven by greed, who have sought to exploit the nation's efforts to assist those victimized by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, ... These cases stand as proof of our continued commitment to pursue and hold accountable those who would seek to profit from the suffering of others.

We had something to prove from last year. The best word to describe this team is perseverance.

A critical mass is developing of people who are now aware of the problems that the existing Endangered Species Act imposes on landowners and communities and understands that it's counterproductive to recovering species.

Hopefully, it's going to make this project happen much sooner than we had expected before.

With a wife approving her husband's salary, it appears that this board's stamp is really just a rubber stamp,

We have to guide growth into areas where we have planned infrastructure, or the individual developer has to kick in the cost to provide the infrastructure.

We have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. They are general in nature so we can include people who have signed up for the business program, even though we don't have a business program yet, there are some people who wanted to get a jump on the program. We have one course on Tuesday night, which is a leadership course and one course on Thursday night, which is an Issues in Professional Ethics course. And we have about 25 in each one of those courses, as well.

Valuations are getting stretched, especially in the technology sector. There may be some recovery in the economy, but the notion that it will translate into a big jump in corporate profits - the jury is still out on that.

The record is not only clear, it's public. ... (The trading plans) provide for pre-arranged sales of stock over a six-month period. These plans are typical for senior executives of public companies and the plans were approved by the company's board of directors.

I think there are some quality people out there that would be interested, especially with the type of program we've had here and would like to continue.

Keeping that promise this year made our job much more difficult, ... I don't see how you're going to be able to have that rule of thumb three years from now.

I don't believe that everybody is out of some kind of cookie cutter, so the thing that protects me is always being level with myself, even to myself.

When I was walking around I was 6 foot 3, and people didn't tend to approach me very much, and one of the interesting things about being in a wheelchair is it sort of cuts you down to size and perhaps out of sympathy or whatever people feel much more like coming up to you. I'm more accessible I guess down here.

With some modification, a very powerful product could be developed to assist the college coach. Considering the already intense recruiting competition among college programs, technology may ultimately provide the edge needed to succeed at the highest level.

This action is part of Dana's continued effort to improve cost competitiveness throughout its operations. The company expects to achieve this reduction predominantly through normal retirements and attrition.

He had a program called Free Spirit, ... He split $1 million four ways between people who didn't conform to the normal. I did a couple of slow rolls with the X-1 (the plane in which he broke the sound barrier), and I guess he thought that qualified.

I'm not a firm believer of "mo' money mo' problems" - I think that's stupid. I think it's that problems are already there that can be exacerbated by more things you don't understand.

When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?

It was a huge step forward for our program and our school for the type of competition we're in.

These settlements are evidence of systemic, industry-wide problems that need to be addressed.

FDA approval should be the gold standard for comprehensive examination of drug safety. We shouldn't be second-guessing the agency's processes.

In order to have a skilled workforce to draw on now and in the future, Michigan's education system needs to improve at all levels. Passage of legislation this year to mandate stronger high school graduation standards is important to manufacturers, as is raising the cap on charter public schools to provide families more quality choices.

You take the population of vehicles in the field (A) and multiply it by the probable rate of failure (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement (C).A times B times C equals X. This is what it will cost if we don't initiate a recall.If X is greater than the cost of a recall, we recall all the cars and no one gets hurt.If X is less than the cost of a recall, then we don't recall.

Our main message to employees is Dana is open for business and will continue to operate in the normal course of business throughout the reorganization process. Dana expects to provide its employees wages, healthcare coverage, vacation and sick leave and similar benefits without interruption.

It's not about capacity, it's about processing ability. We still have, roughly, 12 million cubic yards of debris and that's all demolition debris. Again, I've done numbers; I've looked at the numbers. With one facility you're looking at three years of disposal time. With two facilities that cuts down to about one year. So we have a responsibility.

We appreciate the length of service and time that Carla had provided to the Art Center, and we also support the actions that were taken (to fire Kelly).

There's no comparison. At the largest landfill in the state, they process a million tons (of garbage) a year.

Analysts gave a pie-in-the-sky aspect of a profit recovery in the third and fourth quarters. Since the year began, that hasn't exactly happened.

We're talking to another property owner on one end, and to Weyerhaeuser on the other end about possibly adding a piece that belongs to them. If we can get those properties in escrow, and the numbers work out, we're probably going to pursue developing that into an 18-hole golf course.

This is a great place to live, and we think people ought to know about it. We're willing to promote it.

This is an ordinary tool as used throughout the country but always in adherence to the Constitution and always -- and this is so important -- always with the oversight of a federal judge who has to determine that ... probable cause exists in the first place,

I am proud of the officers in all the affected areas. An incident of this magnitude means that they are going without sleep and are unable to be with their own families as they strive to save the lives of others. When a citizen calls for help, an officer will respond. Our officers have called for help now, and we will not let them down.

He's going to remain steadfast in his determination to simply ensure a nominee who holds the greatest promise of filling the very large shoes of the man who has just passed. I don't think he'll confine himself to any candidate of a particular race or gender.

We're starting to get some really good swings up there, but we're also showing a lot of patience at the plate. Now that we're getting some real work in, things are starting to look up. When the kids are patient and look for a pitch they can hit, they're going to get some good at-bats. I don't think scoring should be a problem for us this year if we continue to show good discipline at the plate.

Winning this game would do a lot for us nationally. It puts your program in a permanent national status.

I don't think it's going to have a huge impact on the third quarter. Going forward, if it (euro) stays here, the impact could be much more severe next quarter. It's that way with all the problems we're having with earnings.

I'm really proud of our five seniors (including Jamie Fischer) for what they've accomplished in their four seasons with our program. They are great players and great citizens. They do a lot at our school and they are school leaders. They have really represented our community and school very well.

Last season we kind of planned where guys were going to go. Guys followed through by lifting and using proper weight-cutting techniques. All of them have been good seniors this year. It's really been a true team effort.

Last night we passed the most extensive update to the Medicare program since the program's creation in 1965, ... The effort was bipartisan.

The Electronic Discovery Reference Model Project will provide vendors and customers with a strong industry blueprint, mapping the entire E-Discovery process from initial identification of relevant content to the final presentation of significant evidence, ... As a technology leader, we look forward to contributing to the creation of industry standards, particularly for emerging areas such as rapid initial case assessment and automated analysis of electronic documents and emails.

My clients are not conspiracy theorists. Our problem is just that you have to assure some sense of integrity in the system.

During the E-Discovery review process, e-mails and documents are typically read out-of-context, ... When a relevant item or topic is found, search is used to gather related information. This segregated technique often produces errors such as not recognizing the relevance of a message, failing to identify search terms and phrases that would lead to additional relevant information, and missing important people altogether. Our E-Discovery application automatically identifies the important concepts and terminology used by the subjects of the investigation and produces a visual representation of correlations between people, time, events, and communications. This approach guides users to the important information and provides the context required to ensure a correct interpretation.

It's an extremely good opening and we're all proud as can be. It's going to be a shade above 'Princess Diaries' first week (of) $37.8 million. We'll be $39 million-something for the first seven days.
