“Typically, joint use with the Air Force can be a process that can take three to five years because there is a lot bureaucracy involved. We've had such good response from the secretary of the Air Force and their office. To move this far in six months is an encouraging thing to show the level of commitment we have from the DOD (Department of Defense).”
“Innovation is the future of Gannett, and Roger has proven his ability to encourage new ideas and make them business-ready. He is the right person for this new and exciting role. The Center for Design and Innovation is a key part of our strategy for growing Gannett and stimulating innovation throughout the company.

“With more than 19 million Americans affected by anxiety disorders each year; and in wake of the unprecedented, devastating blow of Hurricane Katrina, ensuring mental wellness is more crucial than ever. Mental Health Month provides an excellent opportunity to educate Americans on managing their positive mental health, encouraging individuals to balance both mind and body.”
“During May, we encourage businesses and financial institutions to educate their employees and customers about the convenience, security and financial benefits of Direct Deposit and Direct Payment. These services are no longer the wave of the future. They are already widely used by millions of Americans who understand that they can save valuable time and money by paying bills and getting paid electronically.”
“As user fees go up, we'll see less participation and I think it encourages specialization. A kid that may want to try another sport, that's just the start of the expense. They have to buy shoes, have to fund-raise and fund-raise to go to tournaments. I'd like to take it the other way and make it less expensive.”
“A coach sees things very differently than the players. It's important to use that different perspective to educate and encourage. But it's also important, like a good coach, to lead your team by example. For instance, while you should point out mistakes by your employees, be sure to admit when you yourself make a mistake.”
“Minimalism isn't just one kind of music. Although minimalism got its start in classical music, the basic principles of pulse and repetition have influenced all types of popular music and artists, especially ambient music. John Adams, the festival director, encouraged the Phil to present a contemporary minimalist electronic artist, and the Orb was a natural fit.”
“The mathematics faculty were encouraging me to shift into mathematics as my major and explaining to me that it was not almost impossible to make a good career in America as a mathematician. So I... became officially a student of mathematics. And in the end I had learned and progressed so much in mathematics that they gave me an M.S. in addition to my B.S. when I graduated.”
“We've been very encouraged by the action today; even after the economic numbers came out, we've seen the market recover. I think it's good that the markets are bouncing off key numbers. I think [a Fed rate cut] is a real toss up -- tomorrow's unemployment number is going to have some effect on that.”
“We feel certain you'll agree that killing fish in the name of school spirit is unacceptable. If the reports we received are accurate, this cruel spectacle has no place in Federal Way public schools. Given the proliferation of violence in the schools, it is imperative that we teach compassion for all living beings rather than publicly encouraging cruelty to animals.”
