I like to look at things that have been developed and re-developed over the course of time so I know the bugs are worked out of it. And in the business itself, I like to look at sales, by far. I want to see that there is a vetted track record of sales to show the price point has worked.
I boxed. I did track and field; I did basketball, football, any sport I was able to sign up for.
I long ago lost track of the number of times the Obama administration has assured everyone that its vacuum-cleaner approach to electronic surveillance does not threaten the privacy or the rights of Americans.
There’s an awful lot of hanging around when you’re doing science fiction. Going down and waiting for them to set up, being told to go back to your dressing room while they change the track and the lighting and so on.
Over and over, nature shows that it’s a really tough adversary. That’s why it’s important that we invest in laboratories, disease detectives, research, mosquito control, the public health system around the world to find, stop, track, prevent health threats.
I went to Moorehouse College. There was no track and field there.
Anyone who tries to keep track of what is happening in China is going to end up by wearing all the skin of his left ear from twirling around on it.
When I am writing best, I really am lost in my world. I lose track of the outside world. I have a difficult time balancing between my real world and the artificial world.
I want to put culture on a track so that it becomes more inclusive, more open source.
I have a 10-year track record of writing for the Jewish community.
We tell stories with maps about global warming, biodiversity; we can design more livable cities, track the spread of epidemics. That makes a difference.
It is obvious that putting the Arab-Israeli dispute on a resolution track would be an important element of overcoming the confidence problem in the region.
People used to believe only a professional could do tiling or install track lighting. That’s utter nonsense.
All told, these profit levels have put the world’s five largest publicly traded oil companies on track to earn more than $100 billion before year’s end. Yet, at the same time that Big Oil’s bottom line is going up, so are Americans’ energy costs.

In fact, allowing immigrants to have licenses actually improves homeland security by allowing our government to track who is in our borders.
Especially with sports cars, when you have got so many cars on the track with various degrees of competitiveness, then something will happen. It’s the nature of racing, the law of averages. If you want to be a front-runner then you are going to have to push very hard, and collisions can happen.
I offer a proven track record in the big leagues that can hit left-handers or right-handers.
I can’t imagine voluntarily standing beside an F1 track in the rain, watching motorised wedges plastered in corporate decals zooming past at 500mph.

Child actors don’t have great track records.
People had lost trust in governance. Getting back that trust, instilling a sense of hope and belief that good governance and development would be back on track, is my biggest achievement.
I would say being deeply involved in the art world would help keep a young artist on track. Doing what you love, so that your focus is your artistry.
Legal reform in Russia is a must. And I keep track of it daily.
Ultimately, when you’re out on track with your helmet on, nobody can see the driver. Nobody can judge you on what you look like if your hair is long or short, if you’re black or you’re white, if you’re male or female. All that matters is your performance.
To be honest with you, I don’t have one track that I consider better than the next because all I’m trying to do is still grow as an artist. I got way better since the early nineties, as far as putting words together. My best energy probably was the ’90s, because I was new.
I recorded everywhere. I would go to different cities and do a session there for the project. I did sessions in New York and I did sessions in L.A. It was just kind of wherever I was and I felt like cutting a track.
Once food gets into our fridges, larders and kitchens, ensuring that it gets used up before going off seems like an obvious thing to do – but it’s alarming how many millions of tonnes are simply chucked because we don’t keep track of the food we’ve spent our money on.
The cows have ID numbers. And we should be able, throughout the investigation, which is ongoing as we speak, to be able to track that cow back to where it came from initially.

I grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and went to a big high school called Douglas McArthur where there was a lot of track and a lot of football. It was a bit like ‘Friday Night Lights.’ I used to spend a lot of time at the track.
I hate when there’s a deleted scene on a DVD with no explanation, or you have to go out of your way to find an alternate audio track.
If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.
I would recommend anybody who gets a chance to see short track skating, make it a point to go out there when Apolo is skating because you won’t see anybody better.
Star performers are my favorite to manage and lead. Star performers are critical to any organization, and the key is how can you capture their heart-share and their mind-share when they’re on this fast track.
Each time you go to the same track you know whether you’re improving or whether you’re not… it’s not open to interpretation. It’s measurable – unlike acting.
With a definite, step-by-step plan – ah, what a difference it makes! You cannot fail, because each step carries you along to the next, like a track.
At the end of the day, I’m riding a little kid’s bike around a track; that’s what I’ve done for as long as I can remember. Now it’s just on a bigger stage at the Olympics.
I do the whole 10-event thing, but at the end of the day, it’s still track and field.
I love how close New York is to Europe; I love the seasons, and I don’t think I could live without them. They’re the way I track the passage of time.
Mosquito control in the United States is very much a local and state activity. Some states have excellent programs, other states not so much. It’s one of the reasons it’s so urgent to identify and spread best practices to try and track and reduce mosquito populations.
Americans are grateful for the connection and convenience their phones provide, helping them search for a lower price, navigate a strange city, expand a customer base or track their health and finances, their family and friends.
I don’t believe – till something radical changes that we are not on track to do – that hybrids are material to climate change. They’re fashionable, everybody loves them, the Prius is selling well, but so are Gucci bags. But they don’t impact the way the world carries stuff. You know it’s a fashion statement.
I believe that tracks speak to me. Some tracks make me write certain music or make me feel sad or inspire me to write a sad love song. Each track has its feeling to me.
Working with Kano is cool, too: obviously, he’s from the same scene, but we’ve never worked together on a track before, and where, like, better to do it than on a Gorillaz project?
I ran track, and basically played every sport.
You know, sometimes the little victories that I have throughout the season are not necessarily obvious on the track. Maybe they’re another aspect of what I’m doing, winning little victories here and there to get everything in line to be able to perform from top to bottom on race day.
I played football in high school, I played baseball when I was younger, things like that, but I think it was the passion I had for track where you want to do an individual sport and be the best, I think – there’s nothing that can replace that.
Okay, so, sometimes in life, I can be a score-keeper – someone who keeps track of what he gives and what he gets in return. An annoying quality, to say the least, and I’m sure my wife has your sympathy, but it’s made me highly attuned to when and where credit is due.
I converted from softball. We’ve got volleyball, we’ve got track and field. Athletes come from anywhere and then convert into bobsled.
When I was a kid, my dad used to take me out to the race track, and so many formative experiences have to do with associations like that.
I think it’s much harder now with the Internet to hone anything. It’s easy to share things: you do one track, and it goes on Hype Machine; people are being exposed a lot earlier.
We laid the track on a smooth stretch of ground about one hundred feet north of the new building.
You find sprinters testing other sprinters’ mental capability. But these are my good friends on the track. I don’t think we need to do that.
