People like Eugene Debs, Helen Keller, Emma Goldman, Jack London and Upton Sinclair were wonderful writers who joined the movement against war and injustice, against capitalism and corporate power. That was a very exciting period in American history.

People like Eliot because he's a fighter, not a quitter, ... If Mr. Weld thinks Eliot was too tough on corporate crooks, he is out of touch. If he thinks New Yorkers want a patsy for governor, he's wrong.

Sure, lower rates might offer another brief respite in an environment that has seen increasing dollops of profit-warnings and negative economic news recently, but when that is all said and done, a poor operating environment is unlikely to be a boon for corporate profits -- or U.S. shares prices -- in the months ahead, ... The New Laws of the Stock Market Jungle.

Steve Jobs was rare: a C.E.O. who actually had a huge impact on his company's fortunes. Contrary to corporate mythology, most C.E.O.s could be easily replaced, if not by your average Joe, then by your average executive vice-president. But Jobs genuinely earned the label of superstar.

Stay focused on your job. The best way to advance is to do well in your current assignment. The worst thing you can do is ignore the details of your present job while looking forward to the next rung on the corporate ladder.

Sponsoring a race helps us foster corporate alliances with other entities and it gives us a pretty significant amount of plugs during NASCAR week. It's a big deal for our local Sam's Town customers and it allows us to do something for them. It also provides us an opportunity to do something for customers from our other properties as well.

Starting your own business isn't for everyone, but for the right people it's much better than climbing the corporate ladder,

Some of those jobs are still going to migrate back down to Cincinnati, where Federated is located.

Someone ought to be able to make a profit. If you ask Compaq, they'll tell you they're doing well in the consumer market. Compaq is getting whacked at the low-end corporate market.

That definitely can have an affect on a corporate network.

nail on the wall the clear requirement for corporate accountability.

My rule for the corporate stuff is the same as with my music - I do whatever means I can sleep at night and whatever means I can be dignified.

Little of a fundamental nature, specific to the U.S. economy or corporate performance, has changed in recent weeks,

I think RIM is facing the most critical time in its corporate history for those two reasons. Are they vulnerable? Yes.

I think regular Iowans are cynical of this whole idea of corporate welfare, with the biggest awards going to the most profitable companies. It doesn't make sense.

I think people need to be concerned about the length of the technology cycle and the inability of most CEOs and analysts to predict the course of corporate earnings over the next several quarters.

It does lower our costs. And all of those savings flow back to the corporate bottom line. It allows us to bring out more new products and do more research and development.

It doesn't really change anything. It's not like people will get their jobs back or their retirement savings back. But I do think the trial is important. It will set a precedent of what's acceptable corporate conduct. Is it OK for executives to do anything so long as it's technically legal?

I tell you, the kids are at this 24/7. There's just nothing like this competition. It's public relations, it's technical, it's brainstorming. It's like we're a corporation developing a product and there's all this adult stress. You've got a goal, you've got corporate investments behind you and being professional means staying until it's done.

It has a very strong corporate sector, a very sensible government and Brazil is a place that is going to do extremely well over the medium term after this rough patch is out of the way.

I think he falls in love with her all over again after she's gone and as he uncovers what she had been up to -- her work to uncover a vast and very corrupt corporate and political conspiracy. It's particularly intriguing since -- for much of the early part of the film -- Justin is suspicious of her; thinking she was having an affair. I think the film asks questions about relationships between people and personal honesty. The honesty between couples and not just at the level of betrayal, but just about simple communication.

IT directors and administrators need to look for a comprehensive, all-around solution to data management to bring about corporate governance, compliance and efficient storage management.

I think they're looking to align themselves with a much bigger player and I think that means someone tucking in Imax within a bigger corporate structure that can then help them ... attain some of these goals.

John Rizzo is a classic DO lawyer. He understands the culture, the intelligence business. He admires the case officers. And they trust him to work out tough issues in the grey with them. He is like a corporate lawyer who knows how to make the deal happen.

Management is basically going home on Friday and coming in to work on Monday in the same job with the same responsibilities. I can't imagine how any self-respecting director would agree to an arrangement like that . . . In Calgary, in particular, it seems like it's just a standard thing to do. When there's a corporate development of any kind, management just put a lot of money in their pockets in the process, regardless of whether they created value or not.

M&A activity and corporate earnings underpin the equity market. Investors now are coming around to the correct perception that first-quarter numbers are going to be very good.

The advantage of having been in the corporate office is that I really understand the curriculum.

The arrogance of Sikorsky has been astounding. As one of our country's major defense contractors, Sikorsky throughout this ordeal showed its disdain for workers, our elected officials and ultimately, the American taxpayers. This company is the poster child for bad behavior and corporate greed. We will continue our fight against this company and against the growing, unchecked power of all of big business in America.

that we've got more good news than bad on the corporate front for the first time in a while.

Most large organizations have a big investment in Symantec tools and wouldn't normally consider switching. This year, however, Symantec's products have repeatedly shown up on the list of the software with critical new security vulnerabilities. Many corporate IT managers are angry and frustrated that their security vendor is as careless as the operating system vendors in writing bad code. And Microsoft has succeeded in persuading many of them that they are far ahead of other software vendors in improving the situation for new products.

Most novels put out by small or corporate presses don't really sell that well - usually a thousand copies or so. Working with a small press, you have to be willing to book reading tours, plan events, make contacts with other small press authors, and find new ways of getting word about your new work out there.

Most market analysts are holding on to their economic or corporate projections while adopting a wait-and-see attitude to assess if oil prices will remain at current high levels.

Wikipedia has experienced censorship at the hands of industry groups and governments, and we are - increasingly, I think - seeing important decisions made by unaccountable, non-transparent corporate players, a shift from the open web to mobile walled gardens, and a shift from the production-based Internet to one that's consumption-based.

Why would the investment group want to move the corporate headquarters? If Kroger's bought the company, then we'd probably be looking at some major changes in the Treasure Valley.

We have other corporate sponsors, such as Campus World, the El Paso Times and K-Z, a recreational vehicle manufacturer. It's a very costly event.

We intend to utilize Insight well beyond our warehouse management systems. From a supply chain viewpoint, Insight helps us gain visibility across our corporate information systems. We envision that Blue Sky's Insight will play a mission-critical role in our business decision process.

While this flexibility expands productivity, it introduces complexity and security risk as wireless devices become a new target for hackers looking to infiltrate a corporate network.

While both companies, EMC and Sun, are leaders... a slowdown in corporate information-technology spending can impact both companies' financial performance -- gravity is bound to take over.

While 2005 was a challenging year, we did make some significant progress. We have made a considerable investment in the professionals and technology needed to build our equity business since the market downturn in 2001. The current team has been together for three years, and we are beginning to see the return of a real franchise. Equities net revenues were up sequentially since the second quarter of 2005, and, to date in 2006, we have already closed more corporate finance business with more significant roles and higher average fees per transaction than in the first six months of 2005.

Whether you're working in corporate America or you're a journalist, construction worker, a teacher or an actor - we're all trying to keep working. If one job is ending, you look for another job. When 'Psych' ends, I will be looking for another job.

We're delighted to hear of the settlement and that the matter is resolved. Those of us who rely on instant access to our corporate e-mail are breathing a huge sigh of relief -- our significant others, maybe not.

We recognized early on that media consumption was evolving and customers were looking for moving images to include as part of their advertising campaigns, website designs and corporate presentations.

We don't take corporate donations or PAC money.

We estimate the assumption of these contracts by Tennessee Tire Recyclers and the pending closure of our Tennessee facility in September will relieve us of obligations that have negatively contributed to our operating losses over the past several years and will positively impact our overall corporate cash flow by over $150,000 per month. We anticipate the transition of assigning all contracts to be completed within 90 days and will redeploy all remaining Tennessee equipment to other locations during that timeframe.

We're almost in a win-win situation here, I think, because you're out of that dismal earnings season for the most part with all of those pre-announcements. If we can just stop hearing negative news from corporate America, at least until the Fed meeting, I think we'll be okay.

We are thus heading for the best year in our corporate history.

We are thrilled to start the Rock Center and feel privileged to have it begun by someone like Arthur Rock, whose life and work have been central in creating the Silicon Valley. Our goal, like Arthur's, is nothing less than to transform corporate governance in the United States and abroad. It is imperative to restore public trust in business and to do so in a way that fuels rather than impedes growth. The resources that can be brought to bear at Stanford--in law, business, economics, and engineering--will enable us to tackle problems in new ways. And with the help and participation of the business community itself, the Rock Center can and will become a source for problem solving, new thinking, and great scholarship in this most important of domains.
