Practices Quotations | Page 7

They can tell us what are some of the poor practices that we are imposing on them that make the cost of doing business with us higher. What is impeding their ability to provide low total cost of ownership? How can we identify and reduce waste and eliminate errors in our processes? How do we get rid of inventory that is not value added?

I support safeguarding users' personally identifiable information and sensitive data like health or financial records. I also believe the government has a responsibility to punish deceptive and unfair practices that defy reasonable expectations about consumers' privacy.

His dad (Steve Ford) has been a very important part of our boosters, and has been a very important part of the basketball family. Andrew has probably been coming to practices since he's been walking,

I hope he plays. There's nobody who wants to play more than he does, and the truth is, we're not going to know (if he's ready) until he gets out and practices (today). Then we'll see.

In the mid- 1990s, we began re-evaluating common practices within the aerospace industry. We became determined to eliminate inefficiency within our machining operations. We developed entirely unique software for monitoring our processes, standardized on high-quality Mori Seiki machinery, and made a concerted effort to maximize productivity through automation.

In the political field, candidates and parties have gotten away with a lot of practices that would clearly be illegal if a business did them. Both parties are using detailed databases of personal information that are completely unregulated. And they're not likely to be regulated, because the politicians themselves would have to limit their activities in order to do so.

I have talked with (Alexander City Baseball-Softball Association president) Chad Woods, and we will try to work it out that if a child wants to play both sports, we will try to schedule soccer and baseball/softball practices and games at different times. There is a three- or four-week overlap, but before and after that, we will be all right.

In that short time, this innovative, unique philosophy has been infused into literally every aspect of our business practices both internally and throughout our entire supplier network, and has had a resounding impact on our organization, customers and suppliers.

I haven't done that in the past; I felt like it was a little anti-climactic to have practices after you've had the game. But the more I've thought about it, the more I've talked with people about it, it sounds like a pretty good idea. We're going to give it a try.

I haven't played a game in over a month, so I'd like to get a few more practices in. I'll come to the rink (Tuesday), skate, see how it is and evaluate it as every day goes by.

Before training camp, I had a couple of conversations on the phone and he threw some questions at me, ... In practices here, the way he wants things done is different. Like we were working the power play and penalty killing, and he has some different ideas on where he wants you to go and why he wants you to do it. So for me, I'm just trying to pay attention. ... I'm just trying not to make mistakes.

Can we run (today)? Absolutely. I've said it before, but our practices are like a boot camp. They're tough, but we feel we're the best-conditioned team on the court every time.

Canada has, at times, represented itself as a country in a valiant struggle against powerful and menacing agents that are indifferent to its special practices and sensibilities - most especially American culture. It's the old, outdated garrison mentality.

He's far superior to me when it comes to leadership, ... I can't have the kind of impact that he does on a team. And he doesn't lead with just his words. He leads with his actions far more. He plays hard and he practices hard. It's infectious.

Charles doesn't care if the game is physical. But some guys respond differently. I thought after our practices last Friday and Saturday that Hill and Townes were ready to play like All-Americans. That's what I expected to see Sunday, but it didn't happen.

By preying on those who can least afford to lose their money, this operation is doing little more than stealing, ... These unscrupulous business practices must be stopped, and victims of these unfair and deceptive acts should be made whole.

By scheduling the tougher tournaments that we go to, the coaching, conditioning and practices that we have.

Certainly there's been concern expressed ... particularly in areas where the sport is just taking root and people aren't as well-versed in its culture and history. But I think also there's a strong willingness to try to use this tragedy to improve our efforts to promote best practices and preserve a positive culture.

Certainly these are not just numbers; they represent people that have gone through personal tragedies. We do not intend to minimize or brush aside their grievances nor shirk responsibility.

Home remedy use is widespread among elder adults regardless of ethnicity, suggesting that older adults find some benefit in these practices and they play an important role in elders' overall strategy for health management.

He studies the game. He's got a sense of urgency about him. He's very sharp. When he practices, he practices full-speed. There are a lot of people who get to Super Bowls, but really don't practice on a high level. He's a guy who practices like he's trying to make the team each and every day.

He's very physically strong right now. He's spending his time in practices doing a variety of things, and I'm going to see what his strength is.

I didn't know what to expect. We had a horrible week of practice and we had little injuries here, some sickness and the kids were whining a bit. We had some brutal practices last Thursday and Friday.

I don't know if it makes a difference, because everybody plays better at home in this league. But we'll still get a couple of practices in so that should help us a little bit.

Forgiveness does not mean that we have to continue to relate to those who have done us harm. In some cases the best practice may be to end our connection, to never speak to or be with a harmful person again. Sometimes in the process of forgiveness a person who hurts or betrayed us may wish to make amends, but even this does not require us to put ourselves in the way of further harm.

By inflating their estimated 'losses' as much as 66 percent, medical malpractice insurance companies have misled regulators, lawmakers and the public and overcharged physicians and other health care providers. Because all insurance companies use the same flawed accounting practices, it is likely that the insurance industry is responsible for several billion dollars in premium overcharges over the last few years, a period during which premiums have soared. The nation's economic stability and security demands that the insurance industry's accounting practices be investigated, and reforms put in place such as those that were made after widespread financial fraud was uncovered at Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen and other corporations.

The US military appears to be systematically downplaying the hunger strike in order to avoid international criticism. In July they denied the existence of a hunger strike two weeks after it had started. Now they seem to be understating the number of detainees involved and the gravity of the medical condition of several of the detainees. This policy once again demonstrates the lack of transparency around all US detention practices and policies in the 'war on terror'.

There's what I'll call best practices and then there's reality. Based on our research over the past two to three years, there are significant differences in performance results that companies are experiencing with their security programs. There are some common things that are done very well among the best-class enterprises suffering the least amount of breaches and damages. But even having said that, there's probably no way to defeat a serious security threat today and it wouldn't matter what the tool is. The only way to do that would be to unplug the computers.

It will not change the access that journalists have to government records, such as information about public employees, arrest and conviction data, campaign contributions, professional board findings, etc." ()

They've got great players on the team, all the way down the line, ... Practices are going to be tough.

They've had it. They're chomping at the bit to get out of my practices and into a game.

They've really tried. They're trying to buy into what we're trying to do. We've had many more good practices than bad practices. I've got to give them credit. They come to the gym and they want to learn and they're working hard. We're doing the best that we can. It's growing pains.

They have set a good example by being positive throughout the season. A few of the guys who don't play as much are extremely supportive of those who do in both practices and games. They have realized what being a teammate means and this is a good example for our underclassmen. The younger players definitely appreciate their efforts and they respect the commitment they have made to the team. This is certainly an indication of their character.

They were not secure. The college is no more or less secure than anyone else. While the school now employs the best practices for security and privacy, all security and technology can be broken.

It was a good learning experience since we have several players who have never played before. They have had two matches and 10 on-court practices and this was our first match of the season. And we have had five on-court practices, so we did respectably. I think we can take at least a few matches off them next time.

It was like one of those practices we usually have in the beginning of the year. It was so hard. Everybody was getting physical, everybody was competing.

It was obvious to everyone on the field, and even to Xavier, ... Xavier's had to miss three, four practices with his shoulder, and with Drew getting all the reps right now he's just clearly in the lead.

It was obvious to everyone on the field, and even to Xavier. Xavier's had to miss three, four practices with his shoulder, and with Drew getting all the reps right now he's just clearly in the lead.

It's completely fair. There's a 12-day window, and you can compete every day to try and get points. If you have the most points in the previous 12 days (of practices and matches), you get to play. That's the way it should be.

It was a great start. All four lines contributed. We are getting better every day now. You can see it in the practices and you can see it in the game. We are getting healthier and we have some continuity on lines.

It was a good win for us. Our practices have been more like football than basketball practices lately.

In addition to food safety, the emphasis on hand hygiene and common practices to prevent spread has just been enormous. I was in the Astrodome, and there was just a long row of sinks that had been brought in to help people wash their hands, help the health care workers wash their hands.

In every country and region, there are practices and ways of living and culture that have been handed down from ancestors. Naturally, I feel that these should be respected.

Advertisers are paying millions to companies whose practices are often borderline and an annoyance to Web users. The problem is what to put in place of distributed advertising.

The NAFTA panel decision issued today is gravely flawed, and signifies a potential end to an important antidote in the U.S. lumber industry's efforts to counter the poison that is Canadian lumber industry practices.

In addition, we had a weak trading quarter that was well under our performance in recent quarters.

The green building market is growing exponentially, yet professional home builders have no reliable, authoritative source to go to for information that can be applied to traditional American homes.
