We were prepared to face the impact of Katrina here in North Carolina, and we are now prepared to send help to those who did not escape her wrath, ... The rest of the country came to our aid after Hurricane Floyd, and we want to do all we can now for our neighbors who have lost so much. |
We were riding high for a long time. It overshadowed the areas that we were weak. It doesn't mean you're going to make the Chase or win a championship. Take anything positive and use it for your team to work together and build confidence. It's good for anybody, doesn't matter who it is. |
We were working our tails off on defense to stay close. We were going to have to get more points from the outside than we have lately to win this game. But they were switching off a pick with 6?foot?7 and 6?6 kids. Our guards had no shot and they completely cut off our inside game, too. |
We will aggressively work to resolve the issues raised by these developments and provide additional information when it is available. We closed 2005 with $30.9 million in cash and short-term investments, which provides us with sufficient flexibility to continue our development programs. |
We will continue pushing until they give us papers to work in this country legally. We'll continue pushing so that we don't have to continue paying thousands of dollars to come into this country, risking our lives and facing so many dangers to cross the border, just so that we can work. |
We worked very hard to build and sustain our relationship with the league and would have liked to continue. However, given the prolonged work stoppage and the league's TV ratings history, no financial model even remotely supports the contract terms offered. We wish the NHL all the best. |
We would not have felt that [negotiations] had reached a roadblock. We were certainly at a point where we had a gap in his expectations and our comfort level. Whether or not we would have been able to close that gap, I'm not sure. But we felt we were in productive contract negotiations. |
We would therefore remain cautious about adding new money to online advertising-driven stocks until the first or second quarter, when we should have better visibility. We continue to believe that the first quarter will be the toughest quarter, with only 10 percent year-over-year growth. |
We'd like to get him hit eight or 10 times early on, try to get that first- or second-game jitters out of him that he's had in years past. Once he gets over that, he's fine. You know, he can go on long streaks without a turnover. Let's get into midseason form at the start of the season. |
We'll really miss Ryan. He has been a part of the Wild Things' family since the first year. We'll miss his enthusiasm and his many talents, but we know this is a good move for him. I'm sure he'll do well as the head coach, and I'm confident this will lead to even better things for Ryan. |
We're 10-5, and nothing has been clinched yet, but we still control our own destiny. If we had to say, 'We hope this team loses and we win,' that would be hard. But we don't have to worry about that. If we can win on Sunday, then we can worry about who we play and where in the playoffs. |
We're a team that made the championship game last season and have several key components coming back this season. Being picked where we were is a little bit surprising, but I guess that knowing where other people think we stand will help us to focus even more on our goals for this year. |
We're a young team. We tend to be very up and down, which you expect with a young team. Sometimes we play extremely well, sometimes we don't. The main thing is when you go through stretches when you don't play very well is to try to stop the bleeding before it starts bleeding profusely. |
We're absolutely slammed and we don't have enough people to wait on all these tables. But everyone is upbeat and positive. We wanted to help, even if it's just a little bit. We can't even begin to make a dent in contributions, but if we can make some small difference, then that's great. |
We're approaching the use of biometrics very, very cautiously, ... We feel that the technology is not even close to the accuracy being claimed by some of these companies. As such, there will be thousands of false negatives and false positives when you scale up the millions of travelers. |
