Performance Quotations | Page 3

We had a very solid first quarter and are pleased with our performance. This is particularly true given the rapid increase in raw material prices and costs that we experienced.

We had balanced scoring for us with Minor, Hines and Reiser. Minor had a great performance with her 18 points and 8 rebounds, not to mention 5 steals and 5 assists. She was 7 of 10 from the field. She also handled the ball well tonight. (Hines) does not want her season to end. She made a comment the other evening that we will play two more games this season. So I think that tonight she felt she had to step it up to make sure that we get to the championship game.

My guys gave it all they had. This performance certainly doesn't take away anything from the quality season that we had and I told them that.

Obviously without Alana this year, we would have struggled more. Alana improved her performance each game. As the season went on, things became easier for the younger kids and it was because of Alana. Alana stepped up her game and gave us scoring every single night.

Obviously we would like to see those statistics higher. But this is a process that the NCAA member institutions are going through to change behavior and essentially ensure the student athletes, coaches and everyone involved in collegiate athletics understands that academic achievement and academic performance is just as important as athletic performance.

One time I met him backstage to see him after a performance of a play he was in, ... He grabbed me by the shoulders.

One month's out performance does not mean the long-awaited consumer revival has arrived.

One of the things that I've always thought I would like to do is to develop an environmental index. Then people can measure their own environmental performance on an index as they do in other ways.

Memory enhancement self-help programs abound and promise improved memory performance by the utilization of any number of seemingly unique techniques focused on the context of how information is encoded.

More than anything, we got a little swagger back up front. I think everybody can count on us and believe in us more. You're only as good as your last performance and we capped it off with 10 wins.

More than ever before, people want higher performance from all types of products, ... We developed this exclusive line of High Definition mice because higher-performance peripherals create a better PC experience. Featuring our proprietary tracking technology, our new High Definition products raise the bar for mouse performance.

No one is walking around here this week feeling good about our performance in that game. We felt like we let the team down. The biggest thing is, they're embarrassed. At the same time, we've got a chance to grow from that. You don't want it to happen. But it happened and you can't let it happen again. How do we rectify it? By going out and taking care of the little things.

No one, Jack or the board, has been happy with the performance of the company. We're moving forward.

No one lost any work and there was no lost production that affected our performance today.

None of us are satisfied with our performance in 2005. We are acting with a tremendous sense of urgency to win back our customers.

No one is more disappointed than me in the performance we had on Saturday. As a head coach, the buck stops with me, and you are always searching for answers. Offensively we didn't block and we didn't sustain, and defensively we didn't tackle. Every time we did do something well, we took two steps back.

My dad was a Buick guy and I followed in his footsteps. But I always liked the performance end.

One thing we tried to do in our pay for performance plan was make it available not just to individual teachers but to schools where teachers work as a team to raise student performance.

No other girl finished under 20 (minutes). Another very strong performance for her.

Maybe the team's performance up to the time he left was a factor of his health. I just don't know all those things. So, it is kind of a difficult thing to assess. We'll just wait and see.

Poor on-time performance is the airlines' fault to the extent that people want to buy their products - the fares are ridiculously low. There's a highly competitive market that benefits consumers because they'll get somewhere cheaply. They just might not get there on time.

Poor performance hasn't tarnished the funds' image, ... It's still the right acquisition for the right buyer.

Poor performance hasn't tarnished the funds' image. It's still the right acquisition for the right buyer.

Perry gave us an outstanding performance right when we needed it. If you'd see him every day, you'd realize he's as calm as anyone when the game is on the line.

Performance and Process Management: Driving Business IT Innovation and Alignment

Performance art can be produced in a coffee house setting.

Performance art can involve the audience with taste, smell and sounds not available with electronic media and not practical with conventional theater. This is due to the usually small audience.

Performance Art is brief, about 15 minutes long. This is a problem in that you cannot get people to come out to watch a 15-minute performance.

Performance art is the ultimate in creativity. Since it has so many possibilities at creativity, it's essence tends to become creativity.

Performance at the New England Media Group was adversely affected by consolidation among important advertisers and by a continued challenging environment.

Performance capture, for me, is finding the essence of a performance.

Nobody we've seen in the last 10 years has fallen as hard and tried to come back at this level. It makes sense to come back with a product that focuses on the court, where his performance message counts most. The core target audience here may be urban youth, but his image is still relevant, for example, to the mother of the shoe buyer, or anyone who holds the purse strings. Perception is what drives the market.

Neither one of us had swept a chimney, but we became August West Registered Certified Chimney Sweeps. With the demand for wood appliances going through the roof, we maximize the performance of the system. Now we wish we could keep up with the demand. We're now scheduling out three weeks.

Next week it isn't going to be good enough with the performance we had tonight.

Now people are charging much fancier fees, and they don't make the same demands on themselves. I was always anxious that my fees were egregious and that I had to have the best performance in the world to justify them.

Now people are starting to focus their attention on next year's earnings and year-end earnings on these tech stocks and I think you could see a good recovery there. Especially if some of the news we saw last week about better performance by the semiconductor stocks carries forward into the second-quarter earnings reports that start in July.

Now their performance won't just be evaluated by the government - it'll be reflected in the share price. And there's a feeling that this will be a major catalyst for change.

Obviously, our financial performance in the second quarter of 1998 was severely impacted by the UAW strikes against our plants in Flint and was certainly not representative of the positive momentum our financial performance had been building,

Obviously, it's nice to get the first one in the conference and the guys played really, really well. It was probably the best performance the guys have had across the board in terms of executing and effort.

Obviously, it's not a performance that we're proud of. But nobody's going in the tank, or giving up. We're going to come out next week and have a lot of our problems fixed.

Obviously, somebody will be ahead to start with, based on fall performance and so forth, but it probably will be an open horse race here in the spring.

Obviously, that's the very worst performance we've had shooting all year.

Obviously the performance wasn't too good. Just took me a little while to make the adjustments the first few innings. You know, I was just overthrowing, leaving the rubber a little too quick.

Nutrition is becoming more and more important to all athletes as far as performance level, ... At this level, it's very serious. The type of food you put into your body can enhance your performance or dehance it. If you want to be the best athlete you can be, you want to be as lean as you can be. The leaner athlete is the better athlete.

Now we recognize we need to spend more time on driver-behavior safety programs. Driver performance is playing a far greater role in contributing to crashes.

Now we have the best performance we've ever had in the Olympics. Bam! It's done. We did it on the first day. Now it takes the pressure off and we can just focus on improving the performance aspects.

No parts of our game were there today. It was a disgrace. This is our worst performance of the year, without a doubt. We weren't there mentally, we weren't there physically ? we were bad in every area today.

Peter has a broad range of operating management and corporate experience, which will serve him well as he takes over the Brunswick Boat Group, the company's largest division. Under his leadership, both our Life Fitness Division and Brunswick Bowling and Billiards Division have improved their financial performance and operating margins. The Boat Group will benefit from Peter's insights and leadership." ()

Philip insisted it would be wrong for him to break down and be so emotional. But, of course, when we rolled camera, he proceeded to do exactly what he'd argued against. It's what makes his performance feel so real. When he entered a scene, he was no longer thinking like an actor. He was thinking like Truman Capote would think.

Pfizer is using curious language to describe 2006, saying 'while we are pleased that 2005 exceeded previous expectations, investors should be aware that the factors driving performance may differ materially in 2006. We are not sure what to make of this choice of words.

Obviously, there's a requirement that United will have to sustain strong operating performance for an extended period to service those obligations.

Obviously two terrific rivals and a terrific early season game of football. I was pleased with the performance of the kids. Not terribly pleased with the result because I thought we did enough to win it I think we?re just going to get better from here.

Obviously we are all sad today about Chris. Chris was really excited to be doing a comedy. He was such a great character actor ... and he gave an incredible performance that's going to make a lot of people laugh for years to come.

Revenue growth in our newspaper group was very robust, driven by strong national advertising at both the Times and the Globe, ... Given our first-half performance and the outlook for the balance of the year, we believe 2000 will be yet another record year for the company.

Net interest margins in Hong Kong remain under pressure and Standard Chartered Bank's performance here in 2005 would likely not be as strong as in China and elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific where it has expanded aggressively.

Network General is in an enviable position. The company has the strongest portfolio of network and application performance analysis solutions on the market, a loyal customer base of more than 13,000 and the strongest brand in the industry.

Network managers need to be more application-aware. As you move toward service-oriented architectures and Web services, the management changes pretty dramatically, and there isn't the tight coupling between the application and the infrastructure. It's more dynamic, and the network has more impact on the performance of those applications.

Nobody ever wants a bad job performance review and nobody thinks they're justified. We all understand they happen, but never to us.

My interest has always been in performance training.

I have been playing well and hope to work on all aspects of my game as I will be gunning for a strong performance in Korea.

If the seams are showing, there is something wrong with the performance or the construction of the piece. This idea is completely at odds with our modern visual experience, because everything today is based on montage.

I didn't believe he could be able to return to skating so soon. His performance in the games he has played proved that he should be able to cope with the brief (Olympic) tournament.

I'd like to think I could do something great - a performance like Meryl Streep's in 'Sophie's Choice' - at some point in my life. At the same time, though, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself to be great.

I'd like to give my best performance. I'd like to leave a legacy for Rosie about who I am. I'm not ready for a dog and fishing pole yet. I'd like to go to bed each night desperate to wake up each morning and create some magic.

I didn't actually see his comments. We made it difficult for Celtic. We put up a good performance and we could have got something out of the game but Celtic were just a bit ahead of us and created more chances than we did. But it does show how far we have come as a team that we can go to a place like Celtic Park and make it so difficult for them.

If this is confirmed, it will reinforce our suspicion that the December performance was inflated by many consumers opening their wallets to treat their families and themselves at Christmas having held back their spending over much of 2005.

If we have reasonable suspicion that someone is using steroids...any performance enhancing drugs, that we can legally ask them to test,

If they all go real fast at the same time you get a traffic jam and performance goes down.

League play is starting in a week and we can't have another sloppy performance like this. Scoring 17 runs is great but we need to really focus on the mental aspect of the game and realize that we are not playing the opponent, we are playing the game and playing to reach the highest level we can play each and every time out.

Lou came down to perform there, part of his military tour.

Louisiana's performance in the wake of the hurricanes is impressive. Statewide results are receiving a strong boost from construction crews and other personnel in the region for the post-hurricane reconstruction. We think displaced gamblers from the Mississippi Gulf Coast are also driving growth.

We're not convinced with the way we've played, our one-day performance needs consistency.

We're not disputing the fact that (executives) deserve to make a lot of money. Just make it performance based, so everyone is benefiting, not just them. It's all about increasing shareholder value.

There are times when we are getting an outstanding performance from the running back. There are times when we are getting a hat on a hat to finish a block. We just have to do it more consistently. ... It's just a matter of execution on a more consistent basis from the entire unit.

When you can put together a performance like this, you've got to feel good about it.

We need to make sure parents and coaches are aware of the dangers an on the look-out for the warning signs. Performance enhancing drugs are too damaging to young people for parents and coaches to not be involved.

We're confident that the proposed middle school program, with its emphasis on communication arts and mathematics, will improve student performance at this level. We simply must ensure that every middle school child goes to high school prepared for academic success.

We're continuing to evaluate those. If any violations are identified as a result of those inspections, they would be reflected when the performance indicator/inspection findings web page for the plant is updated quarterly. They would also be included in the 2006 annual assessment letter for the plant, which would be issued next March. Any non-'green' findings would result in additional inspections for the plant.

We're looking at this issue in terms of its broad regional appeal. We're looking at what it does for the region in terms of a draw for a kind of performance facility that brings with it tourism type of dollars.

Lots of fun. It was probably our best performance of the year offensively. We really, really scored the ball. That was a great performance. I don't know if I've seen a shooting performance like that. Period.

Lower cost of ownership, higher business performance and greater productivity for open source customers are our main objectives in launching the Spike Certification Program. End users running their trusted open source applications on certified and maintained stacks will ultimately enjoy decreased costs.

Lower fiscal and external vulnerabilities diminishes the downside risk for these economies over the short term. A continuation of this recent performance is therefore expected in 2006.

Low inflation contributes to the solid performance in Canada's bond market. It is certainly something bond investors always want to see.

My impression of what they're trying to do after the first few days is to recover exactly the kind of performance that they say they're good at, which is essentially an executive-style leadership. That is to say, 'We've got good people in all the top positions, we're hierarchical, we plan.' That's how they're trying to recover. You go with your strength to a point of weakness.

My individual power is limited. I want to use my high-profile way to wake people up to take action together to do good things. I can only awake them with my performance art and creativity.

Megahertz has been distorted as a proxy for performance and has been devalued in terms of a measure of performance.

Maybe we're doing something right, ... I don't mean to sound greedy, but my only regret is that a couple of our films had a good shot: 'The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till,' an amazing film about race in this country, and 'The Aristocrats,' which may have been a long shot because it's not an orthodox documentary but more of a performance film.

Mike's response was that he didn't really have to prove himself, ... So he wouldn't agree on an extension based on a performance level. And I respect his view that he felt he didn't have to prove himself. But there's also a view that coaches have to prove themselves every year.

Most people retire because their performance diminishes. I know he's wanted to do it before. I think he should just do it at a point in time where there will be no regrets. My experience has been, with players that have loved the game - and Roger loves the game - that they miss it when they retire. ... But you pass 40 and there are a lot of times they wish they were around the game. I think if he retires, May, June or July, he's retired. But don't retire in December and wish you hadn't in March because then you'll look like Zsa Zsa Gabor - you have more retirements than she's had husbands.

Most people find 6- to 8-inch apertures to be a good compromise between performance and portability.

Moving Alexandra to the franchise growth and performance team was a strategic move for Choice Hotels. By adding Alexandra, with her brand strategy background, to my team, we will be able to further build brand equity through strategic growth and additional focus on property level performance.

Moving forward, the objective of the EEMBC automotive and industrial subcommittee is to develop a powerful benchmark suite that can specify and measure performance and energy between all the components in these complex systems, and help each partner improve its products to push the limits of automotive systems. Patrick's unique combination of education and experience has perfectly positioned him to lead this subcommittee as we strive to develop a benchmark recognized by automotive vendors worldwide for its efficacy in measuring the performance of every component in automotive applications including microcontroller cores, buses, peripherals, memory, compilers, profilers, operating systems, SW drivers, and auto-code generators.

Mr. Bush's performance last week will rank as one of the worst ever during a dire national emergency.

Since the start of the new financial year the key drivers of performance have remained unchanged, ... In premium drinks, top line growth ... has been maintained despite some weakening of economic conditions.

Since we do this on an annual basis we allow countries to track their own performance over time.

She earned the respect of her teammates through her performance. The team was smart enough to realize they needed her if they were going to reach their goals.

Sheena James' performance was nice to see on Saturday.

She gave us a tremendous, gutsy performance in being extremely sore and not being able to pick one arm up.

Shea had a fantastic performance. I don?t think this league will have as talented of a match-up inside with such skilled players for long time.

She has served in multiple important roles and I'm appreciative of her outstanding performance in each. Salt Lake City will be the beneficiary of her significant energy, keen intelligence, dedication, expertise and the love she has for the state of Utah.
