The profit warning cycle is not over yet. There is no stabilization for corporate earnings.

There are two camps at the Bank of England: one that thinks there is too much liquidity in the market, and the other is concerned about a lack of growth. The report tends to have subtle changes that lay the groundwork for the next three months. It's more about the message.

It depends what it goes up to. As long as it's not too, too much, I don't have a problem with it.

We played as well as we could have with what we had. We were getting pretty banged up.

We couldn't afford to quit at anytime in the game. We've had our backs to the wall the past few weeks and every game has been a playoff game for us. This one put us in the tournament.

You know what? I don't know if he ever has felt this secure, anywhere. Doug knows he's not going to be looking over his shoulder here.

You know what Doug told me? Maybe there sometimes comes a point where it's not all bad to help somebody. And then, when your time is up, you can look back and say I had something to do with it. That's when I knew he would be helping Drew this year.

We need help. We need the ability to change the amount we are paying.

We needed to come ready to play from the get-go. We played spotty hockey, and you can't do that against a team like Leominster.

We gave up two power-play goals because of undisciplined hockey. When you do that (take penalties), that's what happens.

We predict GDP growth of 0.6 per cent when the figures are published next Wednesday.

We only had one shot on net when we had the 5-on-3. We need to put more shots on net.

We're not looking for a rate cut, ... The UK does not need it. House prices and retail sales are holding up well. This island is relatively strong but we do expect another rate cut in coming months.

We are seeing the first evidence that the U.S. economy is slowing, while one indicator after another shows that the euro-zone is picking up. They can let the numbers do the work for them,

To start off his 2006 campaign in Delray Beach is so fantastic for the city. The site is so intimate, to see this guy right in front of you, like you can't do anywhere else, is really unique.

What had really been driving down the euro ... were structural outflows of investment from Europe into the United States,

We more or less walked onto the ground of the Astrodome floor, asking if they wanted to go to Denver,

Another cut is on the cards possibly in the first-quarter of next year,

There's increasing downside risks to growth and inflation, and that could even result in the European Central Bank cutting rates at some time in the future. Yields have come right down on this.

I've been driving that home since the start of the season, and the kids really haven't gotten it until now. Hopefully, it isn't a little too late.

The story on the activity side is that the recovery is a reflection of better domestic demand, but export orders are contracting at their fastest pace since May. This suggests the UK is still failing to benefit from good global growth.

The team is focused, and Andrew is playing great right now. But we have to come to play our best game of the year (today). This one means something, so that's nice. That's what you want for your final game.

I truly believe that in this system, maybe more right now than ever, you must sure that the most important thing the organization has is the drafting ability,

(I told them), 'The commitment I need from you is that you're willing to come and embrace our community. And speaking for the city of Denver, our community will embrace you,

I told the team before the game that we had to come out and play hard. We can't play a slow defensive game. We needed to play our speed. We got on the board quick and things worked out well.

It's always fun when you win. We needed it, the kids needed it. I just wish it had come a little sooner.

The next rate cut will come in late October, ... inflation is collapsing.

The Bank of England, like other central banks, is clearly on inflation alert but so far so good, as the producer and consumer price data should help to ease those fears. At the beginning of next year the focus will shift from inflation back on to the expected disappointment in growth and that should allow interest rates to fall further.

It took us a long time to get the lines together we needed. I almost cost us a chance to play in the state tournament because I waited so long to make some changes. It's working for us now. The kids are meshing at the right time.

The issue is whether discovery is relevant here.

I just look for great things from him. I see unlimited potential. And the reason I do is because he works so hard and he wants it so badly. He does all the things that the good ones do. The real good ones. And last year we even found out how well he caught the ball.

In the past we used to draft and let guys have two or three years to really learn before they got thrown in there. Those days are gone. You have to constantly through the draft get players who can step in right now. That's the key to it. Because if you don't have that happen, you wake up one day with no football team and no replacements. It's really pretty simple.

The market in the Asia and Pacific region is undergoing significant change with the entry of several low cost entrants. In this climate careful market segmentation and excellent customer relationship management will be important in distinguishing Gulf Air from its competitors,

This is one step along the road of moving away from a dollar peg and moving to a floating basket. This implies China will be accumulating dollars at a slower rate.

In the eighties, I was fortunate to be one of the young art directors that Jerry Roach, creative director at JWT New York, took under his wing. He taught me how to use typography more visually, to push against design norms and not to rely on preconceived notions of what something should look like. I learned that nuance is everything and to agonize over the details. I have Jerry to thank for driving plenty of people crazy over the years!

If you just look around... you'll see you got magic.

Art changes people people change the world.
