They just can't keep food on the table. Even though they're picking it.

They would be better off in picking a strategy that did not involve striking.

These top line numbers suggest we are into what's beginning to look like a jobless recovery. We simply can't drive unemployment down if we're only adding 30 or 40,000 jobs. So, basically, we're looking at a situation where the recovery is calling, but the labor market isn't really picking up the phone.

This is just how it's materialized guys picking each other up. If somebody doesn't come through or get the hit, it seems like the next guy is picking him up. It's 25 guys collectively, and so far, we've been able to ham and egg that.

This is just a redistribution of costs. The economic problems of this state are not driven by picking up dead deer.

Once again, everybody is picking someone else in our division. So we'll just kind of lay back in the weeds and take care of business.

Not many people know, but my joints are extremely hypermobile, and that's why I'm more prone to injuries. That's why most of my major injuries were with the joints. I had a career-threatening wrist injury where picking up a fork to feed myself was a problem, and the thought of playing tennis again was so far from my mind.

Not just from an educational standpoint but also the socialization with friends and developing relationships. They're not picking on each other. It's having a lot of benefits.

Nothing's changed. Basically, without going into all the details, the deal is just about the same. Maybe the high-revenue clubs are picking up a slight increase in money.

The NCAA basketball season is really heating up and with conference play in full swing fan and betting interest is really picking up. I'm sure these odds will continue to change throughout the season, but there are already some surprises. For fans who bet on Florida at 100-1 or Memphis at 50-1 earlier this year, there could be a huge payout come April 3.

It's not a surprise at all ... we are picking up end- demand softness since early January and inventory build and I think this is consistent with that. Intel's in troubled waters for a couple of quarters.

It's really picking up half of labor pay.

The kids have done a great job picking up the scheme. We had to teach them responsibility on defense. Sometimes you want to play for yourself as opposed to other people. The first thing we did was talk to them about being selfless, as opposed to being selfish. We printed out articles and gave them the definition to put in their lockers.

The labor market's going to have a long, slow climb. Corporate America is going to use whatever means it can to boost output without hiring. They're going to wait and wait for confirmation that growth is really picking up before they move into serious job hiring.

The labor market picture remains a bit cloudy. There are some bright spots where the job market may be picking up, but it's by no means a clear picture.

The key thing for us is, we're picking (No.) 10, so you've got to love 10 players. It's real simple.

The Kingsford guys deserve credit for a fine performance picking up their first-ever U.P. title, but I'm also incredibly proud of my guys for making it a much closer meet than it should have been. Our guys performed well beyond what I could have hoped for.

The last three minutes of the first half we didn't do a good job, and I guess we're not used to it, and we're a little further away from the court than we're used to. It was a few things they weren't picking up on, plus Manteo is a good team, too, but I think they fought hard, and I'm proud of them.

The Internet has flourished as the most revolutionary communications medium in history, based on a model where carriers do not interfere or choose what people do online. Even simply picking winners among services threatens the basic Internet model of communications, where users get to decide which services are the most important to them.

The fall in unemployment is a bit of a surprise. There are no signs for the time being that wage inflation is picking up although the numbers next month will be critical.

The Cordless Ring Scanner is extremely beneficial for employees that scan everyday, all day. As a hands-free scanning solution, the Cordless Ring Scanner enables users to handle materials, goods and packages quickly and efficiently without picking up and putting down a big, clumsy gun scanner to scan bar codes.

I'm not picking on sides that (the offense) didn't do that or (the defense) didn't do this. Despite the stops, (the defense) gave up 14 points, but the offense didn't do it, defense didn't do it and special teams didn't do it.

I'm not picking a winner here, but higher-level ways of instructing machines will continue to occupy more of the center of the stage.

I'm glad people aren't picking us to win this division or make the playoffs. That just means we're going to surprise people. I'm OK with that.

I'm not comparing him as a fighter to Marvin Hagler, because there was only one Marvin, but the situation is the same. But I promised Antonio I would do everything in my power to make 2006 his year. If he doesn't get those fights this year, it won't be for a lack of effort. It will be because guys aren't interested in picking up the pen and signing the paper.

I'm delighted that Steve Hansen is picking a very good Wales team. Man for man they are a very strong side and I fully expect that our players will have a very tough test on Saturday.

I just wish we could get through to people that picking up a Salvadoran general in Miami and telling him he has to retire in Costa Rica is not a punishment. Yeah, you're evil, but you can go be evil somewhere else.

I know who the people are who come to my shows and buy my records now. It's always a good thing to think of those faces when I'm picking songs for a show or an album. I really do want to please them, these wonderful people who finance our 'dream.' In that way it can be a good thing, all this attention. You know your fans better.

I learned that picking crabs is a very arduous process,

I'm accustomed to the ticket sales picking up in the week before the festival. But I am delighted the opera gala on Sunday night is sold out a week before the concert and we've sold more than 7,000 tickets for two other concerts.

I love dressing up. I like going out and buying some crazy stuff. I like stuff that's new, innovative and weird. I just pick out stuff that is unique and anything that I'm really diggin'. I don't really care if it's kind of out there. That's what I'm about. I like picking stuff that is really different.

In many ways, I think I've always overcompensated. I was always almost too careful, because I knew if anybody ever found any way to doubt my work, then they'd start picking my life apart, too.

I'm not at all picking on the Internet -- the Internet does what it does well, ... But there are some things where you say, 'That doesn't work right.'

I like the group we have going. This group has played against great competition on the national level and has a lot of confidence. It is the same group that has come off the course breaking records in the fall, and that will be huge in making this a tournament where we're just picking up where we left off, rather then starting over. We try to foster that mindset with the preparation we do on an indoor and outdoor basis, to go in feeling like we haven't missed a beat, but at the same time it's going to be a field that, if you are missing some beats, it's going to show up on the scoreboard.

I liked the idea of coming out and picking up my mail from my doorway. But if the post office says they'd like us to put boxes on the curb, I guess it's a good idea.

I'm looking for little movies that are good instead of picking scripts in pursuit of superstardom.

I'm picking up every memento I can find in this building. I'm taking everything back home.

I'm picking my old school, Florida, and my buddy, Billy Donovan, to win it all.

I'm picking Mike Sherman in Green Bay. Listen, injuries are part of the game and injuries are mounting, especially offensively. Talk about whether or not Brett Favre is going to retire. I think there is a lot of pressure up there in Green Bay because they always think they are going to win a Super Bowl because they have Brett Favre.

I'm picking it up slowly but surely. At first, I didn't know what was going on. I feel I'm starting to perform a little bit better.

I'm watching the ball in the gap, knowing that with Strong's speed he has no trouble getting to third. So I was waving. I did not know Jamal was not picking me up.

I'm waiting for him to come off the plane, and he comes off in a wheelchair. I'm in the tank, and he's picking me up, telling me, 'Hey, Coach. Don't worry about me, I'm going to be fine. I'll be coming back from this thing faster than anybody ever has,' ... This guy does have a single-minded focus on things of this nature. When he puts his mind to something, he usually gets it. So, I can see him coming back from this, very much.

I'm not the best singer in the world; I'm just good at picking up what I want to sound like.

If you don't know the blues, ... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.

I fully expected Livingston to cause us a bit of discomfort in these last few weeks. But our future is very much in our own hands just now and I can't ask any more from the players than what they are giving me just now. We are unbeaten in our last three games, we have lost only one goal in that time and we are picking up points. My only criticism is that the players are showing the tension they are obviously feeling and that is stopping them from playing in their usual free-flowing manner, but it is an understandable reaction bearing in mind what is at stake. All I can ask is that they remain focused and concentrate on winning their last four games.

I f you get into aggressive enforcement , then you run the risk of a government picking and choosing against whom they'll enforce these rules .

If you are not in the stock, I'd start picking away at it.

If you look at the streak we are on, different people have stepped up at different times. We're picking each other up. We're not letting situations that we get into keep us down. We're trying all the way to the end, playing nine innings, 27 outs.

In the first half, both teams came out a little sluggish. We talked at the half about picking it up. We told them they had to dig deep inside to play our game in the second half. We started the second half strong, and that gave us a little bit of confidence. Everyone stepped their game up a little.

In the first two innings they were going a great job of keeping us off-balance and mixing it up. We came back through the order and started picking it up a little bit. Dustin set the tone and it was sort of contagious and everybody started hitting it.

In the final 12 to 13 minutes of the game, we were just hoping and praying that we could pick balls up that were dropping. But they did a better job picking them up, and the game was theirs at that point.

In some cases, that might be OK because they might not feel any pressure. Especially when you have an opponent like Detroit. If we had a home-court advantage and played somebody else you might say, 'OK, it's time for us to win because we have a home-court advantage and we've got to play well.' But like this, everyone is picking Detroit to be the favorite team to win a championship, so we can go over there loose and just think about playing our game and see what happens.

Instead of studying law in the law school, I'll be picking up trash in front of the law school. That's not what I envisioned doing with my law degree.

I remember on Tuesday morning picking up newspapers, and I saw headlines, 'New Orleans Dodged the Bullet.

I'll expect a lot more than someone picking out a suspect because of what they 'feel' might be the answer. They'll have to prove out their case.

Investors are avoiding large-cap technology shares before Friday's SQ and GDP. Instead, they are picking up individual stocks that offer a special interest, such as biotech stocks.

Investment banking continues to be pretty strong pretty much for all these players. Goldman yesterday talked about a record backlog and I think that would also be true for Lehman. Morgan Stanley will be reporting tomorrow. That's been a pretty steady drumbeat. Underwriting activity was a little slower. Fixed income business has been picking up with the Federal Reserve seeming to go on hold,

Investors should be out there, picking up some stocks that are trading near their lows or have bounced off their lows and I think that have good futures. And among them: AT&T ( T : Research , Estimates ) -- their wireless division came in on target, 25, 30 percent growth, and I think that's what is going to carry them. Stock is hovering around their lows here. I think it's a 'great buy.' And I think in the next market rally, that the stock will have a nice bounce.

In the latter stage of his career he became a product of his time: deal-driven, acquisition-oriented and power-oriented. It forced him to do things that he wouldn't have done earlier in his career when he was picking up valuable merchandise at discount prices.

In the pass game, he is picking up incrementally enough where you can get him in there. Does he have the whole load yet? No, that takes awhile. It took Brian Westbrook a while and Brian came out of a passing system.

If you respect me by not picking up the option, I'll show trust and loyalty to you by signing with you.

I generally don't respond to the e-mails I get from foreign players. They're looking for a full-ride and we just don't have that to often. I think that picking foreign players is a lazy way of recruiting.

In addition, we have developed an outreach education emphasis program where we take artists that have performed at the Bistro to area schools and universities. We also try to reach as many non-music students as possible. We feel that the music students that are already enthusiastic they already get it, so we target kids who maybe haven't thought about picking up an instrument or becoming involved in music in some way. Hopefully we can inspire some of those students as well.

In Africa, you can make three acres sustainable relatively easily, but 50,000 acres? It's not about picking up towels or sleeping in a tent.

In 2011, I did an internship in Seven Dials, a junction in London where seven roads come together. I'd given up on writing after multiple rejections for my first novel, and I was starting to consider a career in publishing instead, but Seven Dials gave me such a strong idea for a setting that I couldn't resist picking up my pen again.

I then walk off into the swamp along the path of logs and tree-trunks, picking my way cautiously, now glancing right and left on the foliage, and then surveying carefully the surface of the smooth round log I am walking on.

I just don't see why you are picking at him. He answered the question,

Being a homer isn't such a bad thing if you're a Colts fan. But it can be a big problem if you're a Browns fan. Just make sure you're picking the best players and don't outthink yourself.

But I think we're going to see recovery in the next couple of days. It'll be very volatile until we get this results season out of the way. We need to see capital expenditure picking up in the U.S. right across the board to see any real recovery.

He's still got a little ways to go, but he's got a chance. He's checking off and picking his guys out better. He should be close to really playing very well this year.
