Executing Quotations | Page 2

Our team is really pumped right now. With our win last weekend, we gained several spots in the points and are still a contender for the Chase. The guys will be really focused this weekend on executing their pit stops. We're bringing our Chicago and Michigan car to California and it's done well for us, so we're looking forward to being competitive again this weekend.

Our outlook for the balance of the year remains quite cautious as we continue to face the uncertain economic environment, and as we rebound from the Sept. 11 event, ... Our team remains focused on maximizing our operating performance in this challenging retail environment by executing our customer focus strategy while appropriately adjusting operating expenses, inventory and capital spending.

Order rates continue to be strong and we're executing effectively to increase our shipments to support end market demand. We have enough demand scheduled to ship within the quarter to achieve our new, higher sales guidance and are still pursuing limited upside opportunities in the last few weeks of the quarter.

Oracle is executing very well. This validates that Oracle is a leader in consolidating the software sector. The strategy they are embarking upon is the right strategy.

That doesn't mean that the goals are not worthwhile, but how they are executing this plan is problematic. There is no sense penalizing a museum like the Plains Museum because somebody else is counterfeiting. The message we sent was to find another way to achieve your objective.

Terry has our trust, we believe in the things he's telling us, we're just not executing what he's saying.

My strategy is to stay with companies that are executing well despite the negative tech backdrop. At some point tech is going to recover and these are the companies you'll want to be in.

Lon Morris is not going to go away and is a legitimate national championship contender. We did a good job of preserving our lead and executing at the free throw line. We still have a goal of winning an outright region championship.

I was executing my pitches all night. The way with our lineup, when everyone is comfortable, let's see where it goes from here.

I still see lots of things we can fine-tune. I think we're slowly but surely getting a little bit tighter and executing better. It sounds funny, when you're 11-and-0, but we've played some bad stretches of basketball and still been able to overcome that. Our goal is to eliminate that and become more consistent.

I think once the kids started playing games, they got excited and really started to execute well. We work to get one run each inning and we're executing defensively. Our pitchers have been throwing strikes and letting the defense do the work for them.

I thought just the management of the game, making adjustments on the run and executing on both sides of the ball as well as playing all the young guys, I think all those things are good. I think just the way they prepared for a game like this and went out and executed it. Just a lot of things were built on. Plus we got some momentum going into next week.

I thought it looked like we had a couple of weeks off for a majority of the time. It's a matter of executing from a timeout to the floor. It's a matter of paying attention to detail, and as a unit that's obviously something coaches want their team to continue to get better and better at as the year goes on, especially with the slate we have ahead of us.

It is entirely appropriate for the administration to announce or espouse whatever political views they have. It is not appropriate for scientists at an executing federal executive agency to be required to adjust, skew, alter, or frame the tone of their scientific work to fit any particular political agenda.

That was a high-level basketball game. My hat is off to Tennessee . They played exactly like they needed to play. They are executing how they want to play. They got it inside when they needed to get a couple of baskets.

That's what good teams are supposed to do, especially when they're at home. Good teams always have an answer when they're at home. We had four quick points, and then we didn't really score again for the next several minutes. They really played well for about six minutes there in the first half, and we had some problems executing on our end.

I was proud of the way our guys came out and played the game, in terms of going through executing the way we did. Sometimes you have some concerns in situations like this.

Most of the people who claim to be doing systems biology are really studying simple and complex molecular machines and how they function, and that is an aspect of systems biology; but it isn't. It's the networks that really capture and store and transmit and integrate and modulate and finally end up executing the biological information as it is.

Most importantly of all, Bruce has built a talented and complete leadership team capable of executing our long-term vision, with a focus on delivering value to our shareholders.

We just are not executing the way that we need to be,

We just couldn't execute -- those guys were executing their offense and getting points out of it and we weren't. That was the difference in the game.

Winona's a physical team. But I thought we had a good game plan going in. They like to do a lot of switching and we caught them a lot on flashes going to the basket. We scored some easy baskets on overhead lobs, and we did a great job of executing our offense the way we wanted to.

We continue to make very good progress on executing our strategic initiatives. During the quarter we continued our plan to invest heavily in remodeling and enhancing the customer experience in our U.S. toy stores, ... We remain confident that the improvement being made will deliver substantial benefits to Toys 'R' Us beginning with this year's holiday season and will allow us to better grow and enhance our business well into the future.

We continue to focus like a laser on executing our strategy of moving beyond the box, and it paid off with a record quarter in what's typically the industry's slowest period. Non-PC income is now well over 10 percent, which is where we said we'd be by year-end.

We were very flat in the beginning of the game. There just wasn't much energy. We didn't have any energy and we weren't executing any of our plays. But as the game went on, we started to pick things up. We played very well in the last 10 minutes and that's why we won this game.

We drove down there a couple of times and just couldn't get in. I think we just started executing and went down the field with a lot of confidence. And that's what made it better.

We played more like we did earlier in conference play. We did a good job of executing on offense. We moved guys around and got them in. It was good to see.

While an industry-wide slowdown in semiconductor demand is something management has little control over, of greater concern to us is management's continued difficulty in executing its handset product transitions and cost reductions in an increasingly competitive market. We do not see this improving anytime soon.

We're capable of so much more than the effort we put forth tonight. There's no other way to say it. We've got a lot of talent, but we're just not executing right now.

We execute better this year than we ever have. We're to the point where we're executing so well that we're getting better looks. It opens up the 3-ball and makes them easier shots.

We really wanted to focus on just executing on defense and really not backing down.

We really talked about coming out and executing and being ready to focus, which we didn't do a good job of (in the first half). We didn't try to change a whole lot, we just had to execute and show some heart and we did that.

We really stress trying to have a quality at-bat, and he did that every time he was up there today. He got a pitch he liked on his home run, and it was a matter of executing it.

We got away from having so many random offensive situations. We got a little better executing our plays. Against New York, I thought we got great shots against their zone, and they just didn't go in.

We can't worry about what the opposition does but there is a certain way Miami has to be pitched. And we've got to be able to execute when it comes to executing certain pitches.

We are thrilled to welcome Rich to Keane's leadership team. His exceptional track record at building and growing revenue streams, architecting client-centric solutions, and executing a global delivery model will be invaluable to the organization as Keane continues to grow, ... Rich will play a pivotal role in driving Keane's sales effectiveness and ensuring that we develop and deliver compelling business solutions that help clients achieve world-class performance through business and IT transformation.

We had trouble executing the whole series. We have to bounce back.

We're working on a campaign for the next season and we're also executing on the remediation plan to improve the facility overall.

Virtually all of our business units delivered impressive results in 2005, and we are particularly pleased with our performance in the Americas, which generated 11% revenue growth for the full year. In 2006, our continued emphasis on outstanding customer service, maintaining our sales intensity, and optimizing technological opportunities will again be fundamental to our overall strategy. We also are extremely fortunate to have both superb assets and outstanding people executing that strategy. Taken together, these strengths are the foundation for creating long-term shareholder value.

We have an expanding position in the growth markets of the future ? wireless, data, broadband, long distance ? and we're executing extremely well in these areas,

We can't give up big plays like that, but at the same time we played well from there on out. Half of their yards came on that one play. We just had to get our heads on straight and start executing and we did that.

We just didn't have our composure. We broke (the press) early, in the first half, (and in) the second half but I think (with) the noise and the crowd, we weren't executing and because of foul trouble, we had some players that were inexperienced. And that was a big key.

We just didn't get the shots up that we needed to get up and you just cannot do that at the varsity level. You're just not going to get away with that. We have to do a better job taking care of the basketball and then on the offensive side, executing and getting some movement in the offense and giving it a chance to get into a flow.

We just didn't execute the way we were used to executing all year long. Give Pittsburgh credit. They played hard. They played well enough to win this football game. I just felt like we made some uncharacteristic mistakes.

We just didn't do a good job of executing down the stretch, but it wasn't from lack of effort. It wasn't from we didn't try. It was just inexperience.

We just didn't do a good enough job of executing pitches consistently through the weekend. And I think a lot of that just relates to game experience.

We can't afford to give away games by not executing and not knocking down our free throws.

We came out sharp tonight, and I really can't ask for too much more than what they did in the first five series. The execution was sound and we had a good of mix of runs and passes. Bruce did a nice job of executing the offense and we had other players make players for us. We just have to keep it going.

We were having trouble executing any kind of offense. I could feel their intensity cranking up.

We've been having trouble closing out the games. Getting loose balls, executing on offense, scoring points . . . but we found a way to win.

We've been executing very well. It's hard for (opposing defenses) to key on one guy because the next two or three guys are pretty dangerous, too.

We've been executing really well (the last five games). So hopefully we're getting things turned around at the right time. Like I told the kids, we're trying to peak for the tournament now.

Understand that the time in the audition is your time. Really own it and take control of it. And do what you prepared. Focus on really executing what it is that you intended to do.

We aren't getting hits, that's pretty much what it comes down to. We are leaving too many runners on base and we are not executing in key situations.

We haven't been executing well against strong defenses. The kids have to learn to have more patience. We have to learn more patience and let things develop.

We have nothing more to add. But as we have said all along we remain focused on executing our 'Plan to Win,' which is delivering solid results by improving our restaurant experience for our customers and insuring alignment with our franchisees and suppliers and adding value to shareholders.

The practice of executing such offenders is a relic of the past and is inconsistent with evolving standards of decency in a civilized society.

We are doing all the things you need to do to be successful, causing turnovers, taking care of the ball, rebounding, executing our offence. But the only thing missing is wins. It's very frustrating.

Tyco doesn't seem to be executing as it should be, ... People were looking for an upside surprise, and this is not it.

We were just ice cold in the first half. We were doing a good job executing our sets but we just weren't making the shots. In the second half, we were able to get going a little bit and create some momentum.

We were in the process of executing a federal search warrant when this happened. It's all part of an ongoing investigation.

We didn't come out here tonight like a football team on the upswing. We should be executing better on offense. I'm disappointed in the way we played but I am proud of these guys for fighting through adversity and coming back to get the win.

We didn't shoot well from the free throw line and I don't think we had a team execute like Marshfield Columbus did against us all year. In the first half they were executing their offense very well and we were able to maintain our focus and composure just enough to get them off rhythm a little bit. Once we did, I thought our guys really sensed it and they pounced on it pretty good.

We're not shooting as well as we're capable of shooting as a team and we're not executing well, either. We haven't clicked yet and we need to do that pretty quickly.

We are confident that by executing this initiative, we will enhance our leadership in the mid-market in China.

When we're executing and blocking shots and playing defense and you don't get us in a situation where we have to create plays, we're absolutely terrific. But we're a flawed team.

We played an athletic, well-coached team, and we let them jump on us early. Our effort is there, but we've got to start executing and step up against better teams.

We have made a good start to the year and we can maintain our full year guidance of 6 percent organic operating profit growth despite absorbing an increase in the cost of executing additional productivity initiatives in the second half,

We did some things wrong, but for the most part, they were doing what they were coached to do. They were executing today. We train to possess the ball, and that's probably 75 percent of our training sessions. It's something that we work on a lot, and it was pretty well done.

We didn't do a very good job of executing our half-court offense in the second half, but fortunately, we had built such a big lead that we were able to hang on.

We didn't do a very good job of executing in that game. We need to do better this time around. If we do that, we can compete.

We're not getting the big hits and we're not executing on defense. We could have been out of both those innings today. It's a matter of making a few plays here or there.

We're not executing, and we haven't been executing for four weeks now. I wish that I could figure out what would fix that problem. I'll scratch my head, break down the film, and we will do it as a team.

We added some consultants, but it boils down to players executing the game plan the coaches put in place.

We are looking at every opportunity to accelerate our multiyear action plan. Our entire team is engaged in making sure that we have taken the right action, we're executing them quickly and efficiently and without impacting our customer needs or our commitment to quality.

Upon entering the final quarter of our fiscal year 2006, we remain encouraged by the strength of our operations, particularly as it relates to our ongoing efforts to develop a culture of cost efficiency throughout the Company. As we consider attempting to leverage our managed care expertise in and around the Southeastern United States, we remain committed to executing on a strategy of disciplined, opportunistic growth, guided by the mandate to build value for our shareholders.

Today's announcements underscore our commitment to executing decisively and rapidly in the online services space by forming a seasoned management team that is dedicated to improving and facilitating commerce for consumers,

We were a little shaky in the first half. But we started executing our plays and started wanting it more.

We definitely feel like we let Brian and Scott down. We weren't sharp. The puck was bouncing. We were losing control. We weren't executing like we usually do.

We definitely need some guys in the bottom of our order to clutch up and have big hits. It's about executing and doing all the littler things. We gotta do that at the bottom half. Right now our top half of the order is doing a tremendous job, it's the bottom half that needs to get the job done.

Xerox can now continue to focus on effectively executing its turnaround strategy, which remains on track,

West Aurora came out mentally prepared to play. I don't think we did a good job executing at all. We were rushing and didn't do the things that got us here.

We were really pleased with how well things went down there. The kids did a great job or executing and just playing relaxed.

We have been operating the business and executing the business plan.

We're trying to build a solid, sound base on which to grow long term. Our goal is a billion-dollar institution in eight years or less and a $3 billion bank beyond. We have a long-term, long-range vision and goal and we're just executing to get there.

We're trying to build a solid, sound base on which to grow long term, ... Our goal is a billion-dollar institution in eight years or less and a $3 billion bank beyond. We have a long-term, long-range vision and goal and we're just executing to get there.

We've certainly got our work cut out for us executing on the huge opportunities we have in front of us currently, but we will pursue other opportunities.

This sets a nice rhythm for us. We feel good about executing our game, but we know the next team is a different story. They do things a little bit differently. What this does is it maintains the confidence level we came in here with.

This was a great team win, they did a great job on the defensive end and executing on the offensive end. Our goal was to contest every three-pointer and I think we did a great job on that.

This really isn't that complicated of a scheme. If we're not a good defense, it's not because of him. Ray Rhodes always puts a good product on the field. If we're not a good defense, it's because we as players aren't executing what he calls and we're not getting the job done out there.

When you have talented players, it's a matter of time. You're going to start to play well. Early in the season, we didn't have everyone executing what they needed to do. We didn't have a common cord, doing things as one. We have that now.

We've got to do a better job of executing our penalty kill.

We've got things to work on, no doubt about it, but I thought offensively, if we don't have a big holding call on (Brent Phillips') long touchdown run, if we don't turn it over, they really didn't stop us all night. We executed. We run blocked real well, our backs ran well, and our quarterbacks did a good job just executing what we were supposed to do.

While I'm disappointed with our earnings results in the fourth quarter, I'm very pleased with the strength of our revenue performance throughout 2005 and the solid growth momentum that we carry into the current year. As we move into 2006, we are focused on several key priorities: maintaining sales momentum in sandwich crackers and salty snacks, implementing revenue management strategies targeted at enhancing profit margins, integrating the Tom's acquisition and executing on our supply chain restructuring plan.

We have made significant progress in executing our improvement initiatives this year, yet it's clear that we need to move much faster, more aggressively and with more urgency to enhance company performance.

We moved the ball well, ... We did a great job of coming out and executing our plays. . . . We had them on their heels a lot.

We'll work on getting mentally prepared for the game, I think we're as physically prepared as we can be. I think we're in pretty good shape. Our guys who are young and having to play are stepping up. Our kids know what to do, they know what to expect. It's just a matter going out and executing every Friday night. I think our program is in good shape. Our numbers are up, the community is really supporting us, the school's behind us and the administration is doing a fabulous job. The odds are in our favor to go out and play well.

When we play, a lot of times we kick our own butt and make a lot of mistakes. I think maybe it comes down to stops, maybe it comes down to executing offense. But I think when we're playing our best, no one can beat us.

When we start executing offensively, it really has an effect on the other team. We're trying to get our guys into a defense-first mentality and we took a step tonight. We'll see if it's working.

We'd been working on that all week. We knew they were going to bunt, so we called a bunt coverage and our first baseman did a good job of executing it.
