People can say all types of stuff, ... When I lived in Peoria before, people tried to convince me to run for things. I had an opportunity then and I didn't. I will say I'm never going to rule that out in the future. Politics is a lot about being in the right place at the right time. |
People were fired up. We had several recruits at our game, and they're fired up. It's going to be a top 10, possibly better, class in the entire country. It's going to be one of the best classes that I believe, if everything stays on course, that we've had here in a long, long time. |
People wish we could get those last two minutes back. But at the same time, you have to move forward. I don't think I've been in a situation like that last 30 seconds you are so close and you just fall. It's tough, but at the same time in the SEC, you can't fall back on those games. |
Personally, I've been very blessed in this game. This game has given a lot to me. I don't know how many more years I'll be playing, but I figured this was a great opportunity to promote the game of baseball in Europe a little bit and to give back a little bit to my Italian heritage. |

Q threw the ball outstanding. He's just a strike machine. We were shocked when he threw that one ball. I thought, 'Well, he probably just wants to throw some extra pitches and get some work in.' I haven't sat down and determined a role yet, but he will be very active in our bullpen. |
Recent statements by some commentators may have led remaining shareholders to expect an imminent higher offer if AMP Property Portfolio does not reach the 90% threshold. This is a false expectation and reliance on it could have negative financial consequences for those shareholders. |
Recovering equities and still overall strong commodity markets suggests that there is little broad-based concern that central bank policy tightening will curtail global economic growth and there is still adequate global liquidity chasing higher risk assets and capping risk premiums, |
Reducing the burdens borne by displaced workers is the right and fair thing to do. If workers are less fearful of change, less pressure will be exerted on politicians to erect trade barriers or to take other actions that would reduce the flexibility and dynamism of the U.S. economy. |
Regardless of whether or not they contribute, they will need medical attention and they will need to survive like anyone else. I am sure that in the next 40 years it will become a concern to government that they will have to use contributed funds to deal with those non-contributors. |
Relative to what people were expecting in September and October (for holiday sales), things were much better than they expected. With energy prices being where they were and predictions of a cold winter, people were expecting downtrodden sales. It turned out to be just the opposite. |
Retailers are getting better and better at managing shipments, but any screw-up, and you lose the customer forever. However, I heard a lot fewer consumer horror stories this year. I think we got a little lucky this year; there were no major weather storms that played with logistics. |
