Baseball Quotes
My goal is to play in the season, not Spring Training games. It would be nice to get out there and show them what I can do. But in the meantime I need to get myself ready for Opening Day and get out there playing, that's the biggest thing. I'm just resting right now, just doing all the rehab stuff, just kind of shutting baseball down a little bit.
-
Central Quotes
Naturally, it's not same opening the season No. 3 on the depth chart as it was starting for Central or Wisconsin, ... But you have to treat it the same, because you never know what will happen. One thing you learn very quickly in this league is that anything can happen, especially with quarterbacks.

Confident Quotes
Obviously if I was in another lineup, I'd probably not be the cleanup hitter. So for me, personally, it's kind of an honor. I'm glad they feel confident in me to put me in that position. For me, it's just exciting to be in the big leagues opening up. Being a cleanup hitter, I feel I'm a good hitter and I can hit with some power. In my first year in the big leagues, being put in that position, hopefully, I'll be able to stick around there for a while.

Applying Quotes
Right now, it takes a large company employing hundreds of really smart people to support Internet services. Our goal with this center is to develop technology that eliminates the need for such a large organization, opening up innovation opportunities for small groups or even individual entrepreneurs. We can help do this by applying statistical machine learning - the same technology used successfully in the recent autonomous vehicle grand challenge - to the development of computer systems.

Goal Quotes
My ultimate goal is still to play opening day. That's what I'd like to do. Still, we don't know for sure what it's going to be, at this point. If I play opening day, it would be awesome, but if it happens to be two weeks later, I understand that you have to do what's right. Injuries are a part of it, unfortunately.

Cell Quotes
Only five or six years ago, it would really take until the Wednesday after opening to sense what word-of-mouth was, ... Now, with cell phones and instant messaging, they tell each other immediately. In a time of extraordinary noise, when there are so many different messages being sent to you, vying for your attention, nothing is more important than one person you know saying, 'I saw a movie and it's fantastic.'

Compelling Quotes
New-store growth is a significant contributor to our goal of making Family Dollar a compelling place to shop and invest. As we have indicated, this year we are focused on improving our new-store opening processes and increasing our new-store productivity to drive better returns to our shareholders.

Bedrooms Quotes
I was staying with some friends in England, and it was New Year's. My husband, Roy, and I were sleeping, and I woke to the sound of our friend's two little boys. They were going around the bedrooms opening the doors and looking in. When they got to our door, one little boy went to open it and the other said, 'No! Don?t open that door. The princess is sleeping in there.' It made my heart leap out of my chest. I think that was the first time I really realized the impact these films had on people.
-
Amount Quotes
I would definitely consider it higher than usual. April and May are usually slow times, with the exception of opening day. But it's not been like that. I would say it's double the amount we dealt with at this time last year. All of the season-ticket holders believe they have gold in their hands, so there are a lot more tickets available on the secondary market.
-
Adrenaline Quotes
I got off to a little bit of a rough start to say the least. There was a lot of excitement and adrenaline being my first opening day start. It reminded me of my high school basketball days when we used to bounce around in the locker room before a game. That was the feeling I had. It was fine once I settled down and let my defense work. It was back to the good old Henry.

Amazed Quotes
I am amazed about the caring and the giving from the community. We're not getting $5 and $10 checks but $50, $100, $250. They are just opening up their wallets and that keeps the shelters open and provides food....It's wonderful to see the caring from individuals to help others they don't even know.
-
Certainly Quotes
Certainly it's at least at the same level of sophistication that Office 97 was in terms of features and capabilities, which is enough for most people, ... Microsoft seems determined to see how much money it can squeeze out of buyers, but in doing so, they're opening up an opportunity for somebody else to come in.
-
Believer Quotes
I hate to say it, because I'm not a big believer in turning the switch on and off, but if there's one guy who I think could do it, it's Carlos. In his mind, he knows these are Spring Training games, and when it's Opening Day, I think the light bulb will come on. I'm not worried about him.

Amusing Quotes
I find it particularly amusing -- and frustrating on behalf of the pioneers who have been selling online for years -- that brick-and-mortar guys who announce the opening of their e-store see a huge one-day run-up. Of course, patience brings rewards, and most of those one-day wonders have returned to more normal prices.

Affected Quotes
I can't express my appreciation enough to all of the people who made a tremendous effort so that our audiences would still have the first opportunity to see this splendidly staged musical version of the Louisa May Alcott classic. I hope our patrons affected by this delayed opening will take the opportunity to attend one of the weekend performances, and understand the extraordinary circumstances that have allowed this to happen.

Aging Quotes
If anything, Katrina has spotlighted the increasing perils of our heavy dependence on oil. There is no prospect whatsoever that opening the Arctic Refuge and protected offshore areas to drilling would reduce the nation's energy supply and price vulnerabilities. Whether it comes from off America's coasts, from Alaska's Arctic via an aging aboveground pipeline, or from the politically unstable Middle East, oil is an increasingly vulnerable energy source. Heavy oil dependence leaves our economy wide open to price and supply shocks.
