Boards Quotations | Page 2

I can tell you how bad our boards are... I don't have to watch Saturday Night Live anymore; I just go to the board meetings.

We've undergone a very heavy level of scrutiny by review boards because of Genesis and because of the Columbia accident. . . . It was a cultural shift in NASA, that you're now required to understand all the risks.

We have to get to the offensive glass. We didn't crash the boards when we should have. We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line.

We were bigger and stronger than them inside. We really controlled the boards and controlled the game from the inside out.

At his Philadelphia alma mater, Temple University, Cosby gave commencement addresses and attended games. He served on the university`s board of trustees for more than three decades.

I think it would be a great improvement if there were no D&O insurance . The counter-argument is that no-one with any money would serve on a board. But I think net net you'd be better off.

We don't have an isolated group [of senior managers] surrounded by servants. Berkshire's headquarters is a tiny little suite. We just came back from Berkshire's board meeting; it had moved up to the board room of the Kiewit company and [it was so large and luxurious that] I felt uncomfortable.

A board member should be perfectly willing to leave at any time and willing to make the tough calls.

The automobile is technologically more sophisticated than the bundling board, but the human motives in their uses are sometimes the same.

Onstage I like to play with a an 18-inch speaker, which very few bass players do. I need that fat, underneath sound, which I've always had. It suits me admirably to do it like that, and I can imitate that sound by plugging directly into the board in the studio.

I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.

When the inventor of the drawing board messed things up, what did he go back to?

Catch from the board of beauty/ Such careless crumbs as fall.

If the United States is to produce a nation of investors-as we must if we are to gain financial world-leadership-it is imperative that boards of directors be so constituted as to adequately represent the interests and inspire the complete confidence of investors of moderate substance.

This will not be the last case of this nature. I think that future school boards and school districts aware of this decision have to think very carefully about whether they want to put their communities through this.

I can safely say, that the happiest part of my life has been spent on board a ship.

In 1977, when I started my first job at the Federal Reserve Board as a staff economist in the Division of International Finance, it was an article of faith in central banking that secrecy about monetary policy decisions was the best policy: Central banks, as a rule, did not discuss these decisions, let alone their future policy intentions.

There is a push to make boards more diverse but people without large corporate salaries, such as academics, would be reluctant to become directors without guaranteed payment.

The only problem comes when a hurricane moves in too close. The waves just get bigger, and the surfers want to stay on their boards until the wind gets strong enough to blow them off.

We thought we could get to the offensive boards. I thought we were a little bit bigger than they were. ... a little more athletic with our big girls. That's what we have to do. If we're going to win games, we've got to get to the boards and everybody knows that.

We're an inside-oriented team right now, so I think if we don't control the inside the way that I hope we would, then I think were going to have trouble. I think we've at least held our own with them on the boards in the first two games. The first game we actually dominated them on the boards.

We heard from a lot of parents around Christmas who were concerned about this. And the congresswoman told them to contact their local school boards and local officials and make their voices heard.

Chess is like war on a board

When everybodys clicking, we can put a lot of runs on the board.

There is no ICC anymore. It is just BCCI. It is not International Cricket Council it is International Crime Council. If you take all the cricket board Presidents am sure they are all puppets. ICC is the toothless tiger.

I've just been fired over the phone by Yahoo's chairman of the board

We're not changing anything. I learned that years ago. The key always for us is can we stop their inside people and get some boards and kick it out? By the looks of it, they'll transition, and so will we.

(LSU) coach (Pokey Chatman) challenged me in the locker room at halftime to get as many boards as possible. I just picked up my energy in the second half.

Leslie worked hard on the boards and defensive end. But we have grown to expect that out of her.

Many boards are asking superintendents to be messiahs.

She was a beast on the boards tonight. She was crashing hard.

She was great on the boards all night. But she got big rebounds in the second half.

She's one of the more dominate players in our league, and she showed it Saturday. She can control the defense on the boards and get it out to our guards -- she's a force for us. Not only was she tough on defense, but she scored nine our 17 points in the second half, and she shot four of seven from the field.

She's a hustler, she's a beast on the boards and she can take over a game if she wanted to, but I think right now, she's just putting the energy where we need it.. In our defense and attacking on offense, she can be an unstoppable force.

Some museum boards think that choosing an architect can be reduced to a science, but it comes down to a matter of taste, pure and simple. A shortlist of prospective designers speaks volumes about the likely outcome. If the candidates' styles are too divergent, the search committee doesn't know what it wants.

Show me a chief executive who's on five boards and who lends his or her name, prestige and time to 15 community activities - and I'll show you a company that's underperforming. A chief executive is paid to run the company. That's the CEO's job.

She had a great game against Butte Central. She had some big boards for us.

She gets at least 10-12 (points), or she gets boards every time. She's stepped into her leadership really, really well. She's a big leader on the floor.

She rides a freestyle board against girls who ride race boards and still gets down the hill faster. I think she underestimates how good she really is.

She just seemed to be doing everything ? hitting jump shots from the top of the key, controlling the offensive boards and getting the ball out front on the fast break.

MoMA is one of the world's great cultural institutions with one of the world's premier Boards and Museum leadership. It is my distinct pleasure to work with such a talented and highly qualified group. I salute Bob Menschel for the high bar he has set and follow him in the position of Chairman with all the respect he has earned.

Mayor Miller, you have a history of attacking appointed African-American representatives on boards and commissions.

My job is to protect student's rights. As was dictated to me by the University Interscholastic League (UIL), the UIL states that when school boards rezone, the students are given the opportunity to go to their newly zoned school or stay at their old school.

No director anywhere from this point on would want to put themselves through this kind of ordeal that the directors at Disney just went through for eight years. Now boards realize they must be more independent and circumspect.

One of our goals tonight was to box out and keep them to just one shot on every possession. We did that most of the night. We stressed boxing out and going to the boards hard all week. That's the best we rebounded all season.

One of our focal points going into the game was the boards against Brisbane and to stay competitive. And I thought Benny Knight was absolutely outstanding with 16 boards - I can't remember him playing a better game than that for us.

Newspapers and internet message boards are full of conspiracy theories as to how Slobodan Milosevic may have met his end, and this Trojan horse exploits interest in the breaking news story in an attempt to fool people into infection.

Obviously, rebounding was a major issue. That possession where they got three or four (offensive) boards pretty much summed up the game.

Phenomenal, man, 20 boards is a lot. He had 20 and 20. I've never played with a guy who's done that before. I'm proud of him. He's a beast on the boards.

Nick Schreiner played one of his best games of the year off the bench. He isn't scoring a lot, but he hit the boards hard. When it comes down to crunch time, we're going to need him and I think he'll be there for us.

I was pleased with our effort. LaMarr came in and played great for us so that was a big plus. Tyler was a man on the boards for us and hopefully this week we'll get back in the winning side of the column.

If they know they have to get elected, that it's not a foregone conclusion, then boards become better-functioning entities.

I am sure the respective boards will manage their program in the right way to ensure full participation.

CEOs and directors realize that board discussions are richer when individuals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives participate. The challenge is finding qualified women and minority candidates. Boards have a responsibility to shareholders to align the composition of the board with the business strategy by appointing directors who add value to the board and company. But, there is still only a small number of women and minorities among senior corporate executives, and they are in high demand.

Bryan's a competitor. He hates to lose. He does whatever he can to help the team. He does whatever the coaches ask. He scores, he hits the boards hard, he's a heck of a defensive player and he gets on the floor after loose balls.

Bulletin boards are sort of the garage bands of cyberspace.

I looked on IMDB, at the message boards there, and someone had posted something about a sheep having more talent than me.

I have a background from my younger days in hockey. When somebody slammed you into the boards with undue force and aggression, you took their number,

Getting beat on the boards seemed to be a very significant part of this game. You have to give them a lot of credit for pounding the glass. It seemed like every time we've played them the last couple of years, they've been much better prepared on the boards than we have. We got beat by a team that did the things they need to do within their scheme in order to win the game tonight.

Frank drove and everybody went to the boards except me. We didn't want to give them another chance.

Fragmented boards can't have the expertise needed to review the Army Corps of Engineers plans for the levee system nor the clout to hold them accountable. Multiple boards cannot be part of a cohesive solution for the region. It is also reasonable to expect that a single board is going to be more efficient and cost effective yielding greater results everywhere for everyone.

Future school boards or states that are considering it should be aware of how much it costs to bring a case like this to protect individuals' constitutional rights.

I expect some discussion. There are legitimate arguments on both sides, but personally I think larger boards are cumbersome.

I expect them to crash the boards a lot. They play a mix of man-to-man and zone on defense.

Give parents and school superintendents and school boards the power to decide if they need that money for school construction or if they need it for teacher training or if they need it for new computers.

I get used to it, ... One of the things I find is that schools and school boards get antsy about whether to have me there.

I got caught on the boards and Devin (Smith) picked up the puck. I stayed at my post and he hit me there in front of the goal.

I go back to our turnover situation. If they are down, we are going to rebound the ball better because we're going to get more offensive boards and be able to get back and guard people and get more defensive boards.

He was the story of the night. We came in expecting him to hit the boards hard, and he killed us. It's tough anytime somebody is playing like that.

He scored 50-some in Toronto and we ended up losing. He obviously had a great night, but we couldn't get the crucial stops. They beat us to the loose balls or they got the offensive boards or we had offensive breakdowns.

He (Howard) was very focused. He attacked the basket. He was really active on the defensive end and on offensive boards and he did a excellent job.

He has responded well against teams that have other big players. He stepped up. He hit the boards tough for us. I don't know the stats offhand, but I know he had a great game.

He got me with his shoulder or his helmet, I'm not sure which. I thought the puck was going down the boards and then all of a sudden it was in front of me, and, bang.

He gets it down out there every night. He's a big guy who really has a great outside touch, real quickness for putting the ball on the floor and getting to the rack and the way he is on the boards offensively and defensively. I've just got to try to stay a step ahead of him.

He made a really good play on the boards to get it to the middle of the ice. His stick is so good, if you watch him on both ends of the ice.

He loved to ski barefoot and enjoyed making his own skis. He would soak boards in water, and put them on blocks. Then he would drive his model A car up on them and let it sit while they dried. It would form a curve in them. He loved the outdoors.

We can expect much better from (Yao) defensively and on the boards. He had one rebound in the second half, and he was not active defensively. He's been playing great on offense, really great, and he's not been as good on the boards or defensively in the last three games.

We try to improve every game. We feel like we can get better and better. The battle on the boards (with Wisconsin) was tied, 32-32. That's an area we have to win, so we feel like there's always something we can do better.

We're playing with a lot of confidence right now. We won a lot of battles in front of the net and on the boards and I think that's why we won.

We're playing really well up to that point. We make a play up the boards to our winger and we turn the puck over. You can't do that. It's playoff hockey, you can't do it. You've got to pay a price, get the puck out or protect it.

We've got to keep them off the boards. They're good at crashing the boards for second and third shot attempts. So we've got to keep them off the offensive glass, and we also have to minimize our turnovers.

We thought with maintenance we could keep him healthy through the season. Then he got banged hard into the boards and we looked at the recovery time. The specialist in Nashville recommended immediate surgery.

To come out and lose it in overtime was tough. It's hard to swallow. They hit the boards hard, didn't turn the ball over as much as we did, and they just kept fighting. That team just kept fighting and you have to take your hat off to them.

He's getting better. We're still not throwing him the ball much on offense, but he's getting some boards and maturing.

We have to be more aggressive on the boards and deny their penetration. We also have to shoot better than we have all season.

This was a good game for us. I like St. Rose. They get very good movement, they really tested us in some things. Defensively, that will help us. We didn't do a good job on the boards and had some really bad turnovers. Our young guys are going to make mistakes. You expect that.

Kevin did a masterful job of rebounding. We have to have somebody to help out on the boards in the paint.

Kenneth didn't have a lot of numbers offensively, but his presence on the boards was felt out there and I think defensively he made some contributions as well. So did Will before he fouled out. He was playing some pretty good defense and scrambling around out there, causing some havoc.

Just trying to sneak down the boards on the power play. Hank (Zetterberg) made a great pass and I just tried to get it on goal up high.
