“AMR Research has also reported that reverse logistics account for more than 4.5 percent of total logistics costs, therefore inefficiency can substantially affect a company's bottom line. Integrating reverse logistics processes into the service supply chain can effectively address these challenges and give companies a competitive advantage.”
“It's a good experience. I was surprise last time at just how engaged and well-educated on the issue the congressmen were. I thought of the hearings as something being just for show. I got the feeling everyone was taking it quite seriously. It was a challenging and educational experience. It's good that they're doing these kinds of things.”
“This is going to be a good challenge. They're pretty solid. They're solid up front with the O-line and D-line and they don't make a lot of mistakes. The kids are excited about playing this game and they're excited about playing on turf. We have good speed, so hopefully we can take advantage of that.”

I don’t understand all the nuances of the women’s movement. But I do understand that there are feminists who want to challenge the dominant paradigm, not only of patriarchy, but of where the original wealth came from and the relationship of that wealth to other peoples and the earth. That is the only way that that I think you can really get to the depth of the problem.
A true leader is not meant to be greeted with unanimous praise by his people. A leader is meant to be questioned, to be suspect, to be hated. If he is not, then one can easily assume that either he has not challenged his abilities as a leader by making a decision that creates a split between the people, or he is forcing his subjects to bow before him.
“It's a little misplaced to say that [forming a government] somehow solves the sectarian problem or any of the other really difficult challenges on the ground.
