Dan Smith Quotations

We are pleased to be recognized for this award. Our business model continues to prove successful through varying market conditions, and we're in a strong position to continue this positive growth. Our focus on hiring the most talented employees, as well as maintaining an aggressive marketing strategy, continues to support our growth and superior service to our customers.

We're moving people around and a lot of the girls are having to play a role. It took a little while for them to get used to playing a role and they are starting to gel a little bit.

We really haven't changed our approach to training just because this is an Olympic year. I guess that I would say the only change would be that their intensity has ramped up more, and their focus and concentration is higher.

The reality is much like you've heard about the Jordan River. There are some not-so-good things in that water that could be potentially dangerous to our divers.

I wish he could stay here. But I'm glad to be getting somebody you know who can help the team out, too, if we can do that.

I don't have any explanation for that. That was just a meltdown. Our defense played great for three quarters and our offense stunk up the field.

If the Democrats take over, a couple people are working hard and are young and dynamic.

He was a very soft-spoken, quiet guy who thought deeply. He was a very kind colleague who didn't try to lord it over other people. It was a kind of respect you don't run into a lot in academia.

He was getting at a really important subject and he did it thoughtfully and gracefully.

I always admired from a distance how close he got to his graduate students. I can't be him, but I want to be like him.

I think it represents wholesomeness, ... is the land of wholesome living and bed and breakfasts.

Italy has always been a big destination for us.

Lance never forgot his family. He never forsook them for academia.

Jamie is a little more aggressive. When you're aggressive sometimes you overrun things. When that happens, Jarrod always seems to be there to clean it up.

Over the last several months, the overall slowdown in telecommunications capital spending and a lack of available capital for emerging carriers has impacted our business.

Rebecca normally moves the ball so we thought we had a pretty good shot because she normally hits the ball somewhere.

People in Europe as well as throughout the country knew his work very well.

Steady (pictured right) is doing really well but he just can't buy a goal at the moment.

I think the state of Indiana should be quite pleased to have two business schools that are ranked inside the top 25 -- and state schools at that.

I think the swing of the game was when Matt had those five points in about five seconds. That changed the momentum of the game and allowed us to play a little differently in the fourth quarter.

Maybe I'll find something that I wouldn't find back home. I've been around (the country), and there are some books that are only sold regionally, since their authors are from those areas.

We really struggled this morning. I had a lot of discussions with Dewitt and the transportation people. Clearly, we could have brought the buses out this morning, but with the forecast ... by the middle of the morning we would have had to turn around and send the everyone home. Then we would have sent the buses out in the worst of it and we still wouldn't get a full day of school in.

We finally blocked a little bit and tackled a little bit. The defense played real well.

We had two or three bad penalties, but they never gave up and kept playing hard. They kept fighting.

We wanted to make it a nice place not only for people to play tennis, but to come and watch tennis. This really adds to Logan and Cache County as a whole as it's definitely the nicest indoor tennis facility.

We are in the middle of spring break, and it is hard on the girls. They are out of the ordinary thing that they do. (Today) is their only real day of spring break.

We are glad that there were apparently no emergencies that were not answered. But we are taking this very seriously. Again, public safety is the highest priority.

We work out of a 5-2 front. The strong side linebacker is the one that we normally blitz. That'll be Jamie. Jarrod reads the offense a little better, so we let him flow with the ball.

We think we have an interesting formula that will combine the best of both worlds, and we hope to do it in a way that is palatable to Japanese viewers.

Both teams played real hard. Both teams had opportunities and both teams missed a few. Fortunately we ended up getting one.

We see this as a potential game changer.

While visibility remains limited due to challenging conditions across the telecommunications industry, we remain enthusiastic about the capabilities of our products and the compelling value they deliver.

We've got a good kickoff guy. The guys just went to sleep. Everyone expected him to kick it into the end zone and they went to sleep.

This was going to be our measuring stick to see where we're at. We have to cut out the mistakes. You're not going to beat anyone when you make as many mistakes as we did.

We went brain dead when we were up 2-1 with two runners on. They hit an infield fly and we didn't field it, and the ball bounced away and they eventually scored and tied the game. We wouldn't have been in that situation if not for that play.

We see benefits, but they don't outweigh cost. Our budgets aren't up to implementing it, even in areas where it would make sense.

During this challenging time, we remain focused on strengthening our customer base, continuing technology innovation, and conserving cash.

During the third quarter, we focused on lowering costs and decreasing cash burn while continuing to address the evolving needs of our customers and prospects.

There's more competition than ever before. We've tried to fight back in new ways. It's good news when a company's willing and able to compete so it's not just the status quo.

After you get hammered like we got hammered last week, it's encouraging to have the girls come back and play pretty solid.

This is very rare. The system is designed to immediately provide an alternate so that service never goes out.

They're always tough. Several years ago everyone used us as a measuring stick. Now everyone uses them as the measuring stick.

They're both very aggressive. They have a nose for the football, they usually know where it's going to go.

At least they called me from the bar afterward.

It's just going to be a matter of if we can get back in the swing of things.

It was a very physical game. We have a young team comparatively, and we've had a tough time in our scrimmages, but I think we're jelling right.

I tried to get to the radio and someone had to yank me out of the cabin because I was already underwater by the time I got there.

It's hard to describe what he does for you. He's been around for so long. You try to take in every word he says about pitching. He's a great teacher.

The new systems are up and running. Given the scope and breadth of the project, we expected to find kinks in various places, and we have.

It's worth considering the value of these trees when making policy decisions.

They came out to take away our passing. You can take away something, but you can't take away it all.

They are the typical kind of high-profile, celebrity nomination.

They looked just like the team that won it all last year. They're a darn good football team.

They just put it together, and they started banging.

It was just one of those things where we knew the little girl hit it hard. We're just fortunate it didn't go over the fence.

It's really quite astonishing how little Floridians are getting from their 25 House members. We have a dearth of real leaders in the House from Florida. It's surprising how little clout these members have.

The center that we re-routed to at Pearl Harbor is a center that serves base housing, and it is something that we can turn to as a backup to the backup.

In Tom Clark's passing, Kentuckians and all those who care about history have lost an absolute treasure. He constantly thought of new ways to present history, how to teach it, and what next to write about. His boundless energy and endless curiosity to discover the truth about the past were the hallmarks not only of a remarkable intellect but also of a well-lived life.

He's just a leading figure throughout the nation. That makes him a person whose work is a foundational text for understanding the political history of America.

He thought it was great to bring in different points of view.

The heavy, wet snow just really compacted on top of the bubble. The bubble was very inefficient.

The heart of the problem was a backup system did not kick in as it was supposed to do. We are investigating both things. One, why did we have the original issue, and then why did the backup system not work in this case?

The implications of this first phase test are far-reaching. It provides the Navy with a low-cost solution ... in its approach to littoral (coastal) warfare without having to go through a costly and lengthy research and development process.
