I don't say this lightly: Louisiana has emerged as a model for juvenile justice systems in this country.

If a company puts in a solution in the market that makes other people fail, then we all fail as a community.

If a company has a firewall or its Internet connection is separated from the network, it may assume it doesn't have to worry, In terms of threats to an enterprise's security, most losses occur inside the company. The model where we put a moat outside to keep the bad guys out is not very useful.

For most companies, isolated business process reengineering is no longer enough. They now realize the importance of tying together data across disparate business processes--because this provides a holistic view of enterprise operations and enables the company to innovate at a business model level, whether it's linking price to demand and supply variables in real-time or understanding risk as it is being incurred to drive customized insurance policies.

He has the most remarkable business story that is a model for all of us, whether we're in business or not.

He introduced things like different-color cars and annual model changes, and it's taken Ford 70 years to get back close to GM. I'm like Sloan. I see what the new world needs and wants, and I'm offering it. Dole's still making black cars. But he doesn't have to.

He came to play in the tournament and seems to have a lot of confidence right now. He's a role model for all the young players on the team.

He came in at a good time because we were struggling and then he just shows up. He was a bigger kid and that was certainly an answer to what we needed. But not just in his basketball abilities alone.

This wasn't a failure of one person, although it was that also, ... It was a failure of the whole bureaucracy, and the solution to that isn't getting a new head bureaucrat or a new type of head bureaucrat. I think the whole bureaucratic FEMA model is what has to be probably discarded.

Whatever situation they wind up in, their business model will continue. They do a great job running their business.

There is a gradual move away from concentration, but the numbers still are really small. The ebullience that many companies had 12 months ago has been disabused by now. Advertisers have found that branding plays a role and coming up with a business model in this new world is not a slam dunk.

There is no cookie-cutter business model out there yet. There are several different models out there and they all have potential.

Her (Newman's) inspired advocacy has helped leaders in North Carolina and throughout the country better understand how the arts improve the lives and communities of all Americans. Arts advocates nationwide look to Tog as a model for service, civility, engagement and leadership.

He knows details about the machine ... this is model X and why. That shows a really involved collector.

I would urge any investor to do as much thorough analysis as they're capable of and that means looking broadly at the fundamentals of a company's business.

I wouldn't be a good model for any designer's idea of what fashion is.

The PGA of America is very pleased to present her with the PGA First Lady of Golf Award.

Keating understood the power of tradition yet he loved to break the rules and create a new orthodoxy. That's what he did as treasurer saying, in effect, that Labor runs a market model with equity, and it worked. When he became PM, he tried to construct a new set of Labor beliefs based on Asian engagement, reconciliation and the republic. For Keating, these weren't just policies; they were the new Labor template handed down from the mount. The trouble, of course, was his inability to convert a lot of the public.

Kansas as a whole is mostly rural. How can we develop this model in a much more rural population? How do you do this in Hays, Great Bend, Salina? That's the next big issue.

Journalism is being pushed into a space where I don't think it should ever go, where it's trying to support the monetization model of the Web by driving page views. So what you have is a drop-off of long-form journalism, because long-form pieces are harder to monetize.

John had kept the car garaged most of the time, but as with most Model A's, the floor pans and lower three inches of the body were rusted beyond repair and had to be replaced. My brother, Mike, helped me to restore the car as well. He stripped the entire car to bare metal, and then I welded in 13 different body panels to replace the rotted areas. Being 75 years old, the car had many dings and dents that had to be straightened.

Joan Rivers was a role model to comics everywhere, but especially to women. She got the first laugh and the last laugh.

I talk to Joe on a pretty regular basis. I talk to him about situations and advice. I'm anxious to see him. He's always been good to me as a player, as a coach. He gave me a ton of responsibilities last year. He's someone you can model yourself after, not only as a manager, but as a person.
