In the past, if a guy comes up to the net, you can cross-check him and push him out of the way. Now you can't do anything. He just stands there. You have two of their guys there and two of our guys there and it's really hard to see the puck. That's the hardest part about the rule changes. |
In the past, it was like, three-and-out and we'd be back on the field. Now, they're scoring at will, and we're back on the field. So we're kind of playing the same role, except the scoreboard keeps lighting up for us and we're getting the momentum. And momentum is big in college football. |

In the very short term, you are seeing a response to the economic news, and that can give the market some buoyancy. Whereas in September and October, the above-consensus earnings enabled the market to perform better than it traditionally has, in November the focus switches to the economy. |

Indeed, it's not feasible to do the sort of thorough fact-checking that some books may require, in terms of both money and time. We do go back to authors over and over again, getting them to confirm facts and questioning the veracity of their stories, but sometimes it's just not possible. |

Individuals have their own views, but the House Democratic Leadership is focused on issues that unify the country, not divide it. Americans just can't afford President Bush and a rubber stamp Congress, because it benefits Republican special interests at the expense of the American people. |
Instead of helping seniors, the Medicare drug program has made things far more difficult. Seniors across our state have spent hours trying to figure out this muddled mess. Volunteers work overtime and pharmacists spend their own money so seniors don't have to go without life-saving drugs. |
Instead of taking programming and putting it on TV, now we have seven or eight different opportunities and all have revenue attached…for this town there are great opportunities if we don't make mistake of thinking of all the ways it can't be successful or legal reasons we can't succeed. |
Interchange fees are just a way that credit card companies squeeze merchants to enhance their revenue stream. There is absolutely no need for these fees to be so high, and without anything to control them, the banks and the credit card companies continue to find ways to escalate the fees. |
Islamic terrorism is a much bigger problem in Europe than in the U.S. because you don't have the relatively large Muslim community that we do. What the war in Iraq has done is radicalize these people and make some of them prepared to support terrorism. Iraq is a great recruiting sergeant. |
Israel supports the European position. We believe that the international community - through the UN Security Council - must present the Iranian regime with a clear dilemma, either they totally cease their nuclear weapons program, or they endanger their relationship with the outside world. |
It basically brought the whole idea of advance directives and living wills into the national consciousness. Everyone said, 'We don't want that to happen to us, and more importantly, we don't want that to happen to our family.' That's the one good thing that came out of a very tragic case. |
