“I don't know if guidance is going to get much lower for AOL, but it still looks like it's kind of in a death spiral, ... If things are still deteriorating at AOL by late this summer, people are going to wonder whether or not Parsons can fix it as well.”
“Very strong on the revenue side, less strong ... on the gross margin side. But given the yields they're getting in their desktop products, and presumably in their mobile products as well ... my model would suggest that their gross margins are going to come in higher than their guidance.”
Guidance counselors always love to say, 'Just think positively,' but that's impossible when you have this thing inside of you, strangling every ounce of happiness you can muster. My body is an efficient happy-though-killing machine.
“In light of how much -- and how bold -- kids are online today, all parents need to be armed with more realistic strategies and guidance. And it is essential that teens hear the stories of other young people who were deceived or had close calls online.”
Black Fatherhood is an incomparable gift to Black men that truly comprehend what it means to be called dad, daddy, father, or pops.

It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.

The individual psychotherapy patient comes to the therapist with an almost automatic deference, a sense of dependence and compliance. The role pattern is old and established: the dependent child seeking guidance from a parent figure. There is no such traditional image for the family, no established pattern in which an entire family submits to the guidance of an individual. And the family structure is simply too powerful and too crucial for the members to go trustingly into an experience that threatens to change the entire matrix of their relationships. If the family therapist is to acquire that initial "authority figure" or "parent" role that is so necessary if therapy is to be more powerful than an ordinary social experience, he has to earn it.
