Selection Quotations | Page 2

Imagine having a wide selection of images from the Apollo space mission at your fingertips whenever you want it.

Hockey could be a fairly solid niche market. In many parts of the country, the selection of products is fairly scarce.

Going through the rough waters of the selection process makes us stronger. I hope to use this experience to do well in Turin.

There is ample evidence that selection has been a major driving point in our evolution during the last 10,000 years, and there is no reason to suppose that it has stopped.

The Pakistan Cricket Board had given me an understanding that I would be in both the World XI's (ODI and Test). But till today, they have not conveyed to me about my selection. I have already read my selection in the newspapers,

He's been real good. He's dangerous every time he has the puck. When he does have it, his play selection is as good as anybody in the game.

There is a full-fledged selection committee which is competent enough to pick the team.

Joe has gotten the most out of his senior season and his selection to the all-star game reflects that.

My view is that when you justify one you have to justify all. Suffice to say selection was based on performance and the progress that was made in training and that applies to everybody.

I was actually thinking of going online after we got out of (the selection show). But I know that if we have good defense, we'll have a chance to win that ballgame.

Location has always been No. 1 for me. My location has improved with each start. ... For me, each of my pitches complements another pitch. I've improved on pitches, pitch location, pitch selection and my rhythm.

I was delighted that they were selected. It was a unanimous selection of the dinner committee. I think they're very deserving and exhibited tremendous compassion and bravery and initiative for what they did last spring in response to the tsunami disaster in their homeland of Sri Lanka.

Lisa is playing the best I've ever seen her play. She's doing that by taking better shots, and her shot selection is more efficient. Defensively, she's getting us going.

Some of the cheapest prices we found were at Wal-Mart, but product selection and presentation of the televisions at the discount retailer left much to be desired when compared to our experience at Best Buy and Circuit City.

I returned the call (and it was Jim Gregory of the selection committee) and found out I'd been selected. Needless to say, I didn't finish the round. I put birdies down for the 17th and 18th holes.

Really the last couple of times out we've really done a much better job of pitch selection with our hitting. We are hitting pitches we can hit hard instead of wasting at bats on stuff that is crappy. We've really looked very disciplined at the plate mentally and the results are you are going to hit the ball harder.

Part of (the improvement) is understanding shot selection. We've defined shot selection as much as we can for the players and the team. They understand that and now they are playing with more freedom.

I saw it as a splendid opportunity to trace his intellectual development, starting with the voyage aboard the Beagle. He hit upon natural selection at a fairly early stage and his life was really one long argument about the questions it raised.

I think by definition, there's a certain amount of tension between coaching, scouting, and the selection and signing of players,

Koreans - whose food bill as a percentage of income is higher than for citizens of almost all other OECD members - will enjoy lower food prices and a greater selection of fruits and vegetables. Money saved on food can be invested in education, leisure, and cutting-edge IT services - exactly the type of sectors that need to grow to provide future generations with well-paying jobs.

Kristina did great and our defense was good, but our hitting was just disappointing. We had eight hits but they were scattered through seven innings. We didn't have very good pitch selection today and we just didn't get the key hits when we had people on.

I think stock selection is going to be key. It's just like last year, where if you picked a stock at random, you probably lost money even though the averages were up. And stock selection's going to be key again. You have to pick stocks that are going to have earnings that exceed the consensus. It sounds very simple but it's not the easiest thing in the world to do.

I think continuity has been a problem in selection and our cohesion and confidence has suffered.

Last Saturday morning, the day of the game (the Big West tournament final against Long Beach State, a 78-70 victory), I get a call from my dad. My son's wife just had our first granddaughter back north (in Walnut Creek), so as soon as the game ended, I had some pizza with the players and went to bed, and the next morning at 5:30, I drove back up to see them, had to go 101 because the Grapevine was closed, and then drove to Stockton for the selection show. I haven't had time to celebrate, but I'll be able to celebrate that every day.

Peace Software emerged the clear leader from our rigorous selection process based on its successful track record in the Australian market, the rich functional footprint of the Peace 8 product, and a clearly defined product roadmap.

I think this theater won't last long. A lot of people have been saying that it is going down. The new one (Lakeside Cobb 18) has more selection and it has the stadium seating.

I think it would probably be fair to say that there was a selection of evidence to support the conclusion rather than a conclusion that arose from a full consideration of the evidence,

I'm hitting my spots like I should be, but they're taking too good of hacks on balls that I'm throwing up there, so there's obviously a problem with the selection I'm taking with each batter.

John has been brought in to learn about international preparation and at this stage it is just part of his development. But we would be looking for him to be knocking on the door of international selection in the near future.

It is handiwork of those who want to see disturbance in this region. The timings and selection of the blast site indicates it was a planned attack.

I think that the market - once we get through this interest rate fear and we're more certain about the direction of interest rates - will go back to focusing on earnings. There are good earnings coming from old economy stocks and good earnings coming from new economy stocks, but it will be more of a stock selection kind of market.

Last year obviously helped us and more than just the game. A game is a game. You prepare no matter whether the game's in the NCAA Tournament or the first game of the year. You really approach it the same way, at least we do. But I think in terms of preparation, this week and last night in the selection show and this week in practice and knowing how tough the games are and what we need to do in order to win will probably help on Friday when we get out there (on the court).

It is an easier last-minute gift. For people that are trying to avoid the long lines or as the apparel selection starts to thin out, I think you will see more people turning to gift cards today.

I think the women's business is much tougher than anything else they have been in. It doesn't seem like a natural extension to me. They have begun to get a better selection of merchandise and the business is getting better, but they don't have a real track record here yet.

I think the selection is great. I think he's going to do a great job and I know his work ethic, and that will go into it.

I think there's still a feeling that we're not for real among some of the talking heads. But I think we'll truly be a conference to be reckoned with on Selection Sunday.

Parents and kids still love the retailer because it still sells three times as many toys as a Wal-Mart or a Target. It still has the best selection of toys and games out there. The toy manufacturers certainly want to see it around and that's why many are giving it more exclusive deals to sell a number of their toys.

Our work demonstrates a fundamental error in the current challenges to Darwinism. New techniques allowed us to see how ancient genes and their functions evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. We found that complexity evolved piecemeal through a process of Molecular Exploitation -- old genes, constrained by selection for entirely different functions, have been recruited by evolution to participate in new interactions and new functions.

Overall, over the last year or two, most parties have down-sized and people are being more modest in selection of food.

Our selection reflects that we respect Australian rugby and the Australian team and we all know it will be a hard game at the weekend.

Our biggest competitor is Sam's, and the only way that we stay in business is by offering more of a selection than Sam's. They offer the top 10 candy bars and maybe the top 10 bulk items.

I think I have the best strike force in the Premiership, ... But it gives me a selection headache and I will only know who to pick after training.

I think I have the best strike force in the Premiership. But it gives me a selection headache and I will only know who to pick after training.

I think I'm in pretty good form, though I haven't raced a lot in the last month, ... But if I can make it to the final selection with those guys ...

I think our body of work is deserving. I believe in the selection committee and I believe they'll make the right choices. If we're in, it's the right thing. If we're not, it's the right thing and you won't hear me moaning and groaning.

I think site selection is probably as key an element in this as anything else, ... The location needs to be one that is accessible to everyone. It needs to be safe, and it needs to be an area where we could possibly start out small and expand.

I think our shot selection is better now, too. The guys are becoming familiar enough with each other that now they find guys in situations where they can be successful.

I think our shot selection the first half was not so great, but we picked it up the second half. No one should be mad. I think we played a great game, a good practice game for the sectionals coming up.

I think his selection is a very shrewd one because he has matured as a cricketer this season,

It doesn't matter who you are, food selection is the issue.

It doesn't seem different to me; they're two national teams. Xavier should be ranked and Cincinnati has been ranked. If the selection committee met today, both would be NCAA tournament teams.

(Kennedy) wants to look at what we're doing here with our selection process and what we've done with the contract to compare it to what their proposed new guidelines are going to be,

I would venture to guess we'd have to win two games. I think that should be more than enough. You never know with the selection committee, but I think at this time of the year a win against Kansas and a win against a top 10 opponent would serve a great purpose.

I think that speaks for itself. It's up to the selection committee. But I said this going into the tournament: the biggest thing we can do is win, and put yourself in the championship game. It speaks volumes for this team.

It is a home Games, this is a big venue and the approach to this selection was that we should err on the side of generosity.

It is a distinct honor to be selected as an International Truck and Engine Corporation Diamond Supplier. International has a reputation for holding all of their suppliers to a high standard. Our selection from such an exceptional group is a true mark of distinction for Mayflower Vehicle Systems and the Commercial Vehicle Group.

It is a good selection and we welcome it.

I thought overall, it was an excellent performance. I thought our shot selection in the first half was very, very good.

I think, your honor, you could say -- and this is not that different from what we have argued -- that as long as the manual recounts will not impair the final certification in time to permit the selection of electors by December 12, that those manual recounts must be included.

I thought at the beginning of the second half our shot selection was poor and they picked up the intensity. We didn't get back on defense as well as we had to.

I thought Carrie Mason was the best I've ever seen her. Obviously, she missed just one shot. Her shot selection was tremendous. She hit big shots when she need to. She hit all of her free throws. She ran the team and she did a great job. Virginia Tech did a good job of making the extra pass which is shown by the 18 assists. That's what you've got to do against a defense that's going to come at you. That's to penetrate and then find the next one. They did a tremendous job of that.

I think in the last 10 minutes, the whole key to the game was we had great shot selection -- and we made them.

I thought we got up and down the floor really well, and our shot selection was excellent.

I think it'll help both (tribes). Having more of a selection to go to might attract more people.

I think it's a great opportunity, ... I don't know where the selection is going to go or how it is going to happen, I just now that right now, everybody has an opportunity.

I thought she was really forcing shots offensively. When her shot selection is good, she doesn't miss many shots. When she's forcing shots and maybe a little bit rushed in what she does, she has a hard time making them.

I thought some guys gave good effort tonight, but some have their luggage in mind on the plane already. Turnovers and shot selection killed us.

I thought that that was an effort to inject a popular element, a democratic element into the selection of a person who, once he is selected and confirmed, is beyond electoral control.

We now see that natural selection *is* working to conserve this unpartnered region of the Y, ... If mutations do occur in any of these genes, they don't seem to pass on in the lineage. This is a clear example of how evolution is not just about moving ahead, it's also about not falling behind.

I wasn't pleased with the results, but I felt strong in my first couple of innings. Working with Jason will take a few times to get on the same wavelength, as far as pitch selection and how I want to approach getting guys out.

We can struggle with our shot selection in settling for too many jump shots so this team needs to create more opportunities off the break.

The problem was that the devices weren't very good, the screens were terrible, the prices were too high and there was a terrible selection of content.

I would hope that (the NCAA selection committee) wouldn't hold one team in our conference back because of one or two others that got No. 1 seeds.

I would hope (we're in), but hey, you never know until Selection Sunday. Our goal is to win this tournament. We'll worry about the next one when it comes.

The association is extremely happy with the selection process. We had applications from across the United States and through the interview process, we strongly feel that we have picked the best candidate for the job.

We have a nice selection of bath brews. Some that you would use for relaxation, some for aches and some that are refreshing.

We have had an excellent response to our early recruitment activities which have attracted a wide selection of Macclesfield Town supporters from near and far. Although the majority of members come from Macclesfield itself, we have members from as far afield as London and Southampton. And we even have some international members from Norway, Denmark and Australia.

We've done a lot of research on the characteristics of our teachers who are the most successful. The most predictive trait is still past demonstrated achievement, and all selection research basically points to that.

Utah was one of four states (including Tennessee, Texas and Oklahoma) asked of assistance. That says something good about our state and our citizens, ... The selection of those chosen to come to Utah is undetermined at this point, but we are a willing recipient.

We have also expanded our selection of office accessory supplies and products for teachers, many of whom spend a lot of money purchasing school supplies for their classrooms.

I was on the phone after (the selection show) and everything kind of went down from there. Most of the discussions went down (Sunday) morning with my family. All throughout the week we were throwing out different pros and cons about what to do and what kind of opportunity I'd be stepping into.

Wisdom is meaningless until your own experience has given it meaning and there is wisdom in the selection of wisdom.

Most investors put their portfolios together in a haphazard manner and don't have a sound stock selection strategy. They end up with a patchwork portfolio filled with low-quality securities.

That was the definition of a heartbreaker. We're using that as motivation this year and hopefully we can have a better outcome. We don't want to leave anything up to the (NCAA Tournament) selection committee.

We get a lot of romance books, and we always have a good selection of paperbacks.

We needed to beat Southwest Baptist, but we got a reprieve by the NCAA selection committee. That's why I think, going into our NCAA regional tournament, it's let it all out because we've been given a second chance to compete.

We have a very broad selection of equipment, which gives our customers a better chance to find the perfect fit.

We were 9-of-23 from the line in a two point game -- you can't have that. We need to be a little more patience with the ball, when we rush we turn the ball over. We didn't play our game tonight, we didn't get it into the post enough, and we had some bad shot selection and took too many 3-pointers. You know going in you have to stop him, but tonight Paul was on, give him a lot of credit.

We received applications from 29 nonprofit groups, all of whom do great work to serve the needs of New Mexicans. Our five-member selection panel focused on organizations that provide critical human services, which are being stretched thin, due to the rapid growth of Rio Rancho and Sandoval County.

We recently concluded a rigorous site selection process, and ... reached the decision that the Beijing Economic Technological Development Area is the appropriate location for our finishing facility.

When that wind comes up, it gets your attention. Club selection becomes very, very important.

We believe this kind of data is important in a consumer's selection of transportation. Basing purchase decisions solely on fuel economy or vehicle size does not get to the heart of the energy usage issue.

We have a great product with our doughnuts and we want the public to know we also have a great selection of coffee and other beverages.

We have a large selection of European and handmade papers.

We have all been embroiled in it and if they are getting nearer to a selection then great because it needs to be sorted out.

We had a member of the selection committee speak to our spring committee. He told us the RPI is not even considered by them. He said they do not even have access to the RPI ... that it is just something for the media to talk about.

That would be our best-case scenario. It would be historic. It would be another step forward. (The selection committee is) at least going to have to give us a serious look.

That was a very disappointing fourth quarter. (The) level of defense, the intensity was not correct, and the shot selection was outside in, versus inside out. That's very disappointing, and we deserve what we got.
