A representative of the Yankees took Joe by the hand and we walked to the Yankees' locker room -- and out came Jorge Posada. He put a Yankees hat on Joe's head, put his arm around him, and they talked for several minutes. He then got a baseball and signed it for Joe. |
Before Jorge went back, he asked Joe where we were sitting and said he would look for Joe during the game, |
Certainly it is going to be a temptation for people to commit fraud. |
Finding people who are suspected of fraud is basic police work and we have people who can do that kind of work. |
He stepped outside the law and killed someone. We have evidence he purposely tried to contact this lady through third party. Time and again, he's violated the terms and conditions of his bail. He thinks he's above the law. He's a threat to this community. |

If this fan resurfaces, I will deliver the ball to Jorge in New York. I can promise him a bat and maybe a ball if he promises to be a good Sox fan from now on.

If one of those needs is for a primary vehicle to get to work, and insurance won't replace that car, and it's disaster related, it's perfectly reasonable for people to use that money to buy a car. |
In order to get money to people as quick as possible, we deferred some of the usual checks and proofs that we require. |

Little did I know that [Joe's godparents] had contacted [Posada's] foundation and had arranged a meeting between Joe and Jorge, |
People have been calling me that, but I deny it. |
The safest place for him is behind bars. |
We are really delighted and encouraged with the progress made so far. I think it is very important to remember we will be judged ultimately by our ability to be ranked as an excellent or effective school and school district. |
We were lucky that the pediatrician caught it and ordered the MRI, ... It's a radical procedure. There's an ear-to-ear incision. But you have to do this or the brain isn't allowed to develop. [After the surgery], there were plates and screws in his head, and he had to be on his back for two months. But it sure as hell beat the alternative. |
