Dynamic optimization gives us an entirely new way of managing network traffic. Traditionally, communications networks are designed around a static scenario based on peak usage patterns. But of course traffic patterns are always changing. In the evenings the majority of mobile device use is at the home, during the day it is in the office area, and during rush hours along the major traffic arteries.

You are part of a team yet somehow separate; there are no grey areas, with success or failure being measured in real time; and you have a physical job which you can only do well by paying attention to your mental well-being. A great goalkeeper has to have the keys to a great mindset. To be able to work well in the box, I believe you have to be able to think outside the box

The idea that you can't lose contact with the leaders has cut more throats than it has saved.

Arthur Lydiard

I discovered years ago that the best results in this respect could be gained by running 100 miles weekly at my near best aerobic efforts and that, supplementary to this, running as many easy miles as I could

Arthur Lydiard

You must realize one thing. In every little village in the world there are great potential champions who only need motivation, development and good exercise evaluation.

Arthur Lydiard

They're very tenacious. They're dedicated. Once a woman decides she's going to do something, she'll probably stick to it. The only problem with women is if there's anything wrong with them, they won't tell you. They'll get out there and run on one leg. They don't moan and groan like a lot of men do.

Aubrey McClendon

American business would be run better today if there was more alignment between CEOs' interest and the company.

Brenda Ueland

running is the right thing to do! I am free, healthy with a good complexion. It is that automobile addict who should be ashamed: driving in a sealed car in warmed-over carbon monoxide and smoking a seegar. I am the Goddess! He is a bug in a monkey nut!

Eknath Easwaran

He'll be back, but whether it's this week or not I don't know.

Tony Mortensen

It's going to be a long, long bye week. Two weeks to think about this.
