It gives [the defense] hope because their entire defense is that (a) they were unaware of any criminal behavior, and (b) the company really wasn't in financial trouble. Now the jury is going to have to believe they knew of all the elements of the crimes alleged against them. |
It has been said that the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games is something that an athlete will remember for the rest of their life. It is true. That moment when you walk into the Olympic Stadium as part of the Australian Olympic Team, is a moment that I will never forget. |

It hurts your heart to see New Orleans, the place where I'm from, looking like a Third World country. I want to let my family members that I haven't been able to get in contact with know that I love them, my prayers are with them and I will do everything in my power to help. |
It is a testament to the resilience of our cruise business that despite an approximate 50 percent increase in fuel costs for the quarter and the worst hurricane season in our history, we were still able to grow earnings by 20 percent to achieve record fourth quarter results. |
It is amazing to see the difference when they come back after six months or a year, they're totally different people. They come back still making mistakes, but they're fluent. And they return with a great love of the culture, even if it is only going out and partying to 5am. |

It is great to see that D.C. hoops are back in a big way with as many as four possible tournament teams. You have quality coaches who recruit quality kids and they keep the great local kids at home. Yep, college basketball in D.C. is as good as any other area in the country. |
It is music developing on its own terms. It's the 'music now' concept - what are musicians doing now as opposed to a string quartet playing Brahms. It's music that's delicate and justifies presentation in a special format. That's why we wanted a creative space to justify it. |
It is obvious that Prime Minister [Ariel] Sharon wants to end his election campaign with more Palestinian blood and destruction. He's turning the Gaza strip into a pile of rubble in a deliberate attempt to destroy the Palestinian infrastructure and the Palestinian Authority. |

It is really important for these guys to get born in captivity, ... We learn a lot from our Chinese colleagues and we share our knowledge as well. So there's a really nice panda community. We all get together and help each other. We're all very committed to help save pandas. |
