The Web site (where the tickets are sold) was inadvertently live for a very brief period on Tuesday morning -- I mean less than an hour. Today we got three entries in the mail from people who had downloaded the form from the Web. And there was no publicity before this, obviously. |
The win for us obviously was huge in terms of the playoff scenario. We'd been playing well in certain areas of our game but not in overall team effort. We had a solid team effort in that one. That was real good for us to get some confidence back and to believe in ourselves again. |
The workforce is probably as demoralized as any of us would be if our jobs were flailing, our pay was cut in half, our benefits were cut out and our pensions were taken away. Expecting the workforce to be as customer-oriented as it has been in the past is probably not reasonable. |
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, / Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? / Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? / Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. |
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: / He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. |
Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band. |
There are 43 guys in the world that race these things every week. To be one of those 43 guys is awful special. Any time you can win at the highest level, that's all you can ask for as a driver. If he could win one of these this year or whenever, it would make his career for sure. |

There are a number of programs in place to encourage developers, and I don't support that. If free-market forces bring developers to want to invest because they see that they can get a proper return on their investment, great. But we shouldn't be spending tax dollars to that end. |
Billy Joel (1949-) |
There are lot of people in the media out here not focused on team play. We get more praise from high school coaches or small-college coaches about our team's play than a lot of media. I think the NBA is still more one-on-one, got to score, got to dunk and all that. That's not us. |
There are men in that booth right there with guns, men in that [second] booth right there with guns, men right up there in that [third] booth with guns. All of our security officers, and there are several hundred of them, are former or retired military or retired law enforcement. |
There are no laws that I know of, from speaking with the state's attorney's office, that requires a body to be embalmed. However if that's what you paid for, we're treating this as a theft of service or fraud. The family believed they paid for one thing and they received another. |
There are only three (four-year) schools here in Nevada and unless you are going to one of those you are going out of state. In California, the public universities must accept the majority of their students from California - which sometimes presents a problem for Nevada students. |
