I think it is important that when a commission established under an agreement which has its remit in legislation (in both the Irish and UK governments) that when the head of that commission witnesses an event in which IRA weapons were put beyond use in accordance with this agreement...that it is up to the governments to validate it and uphold it. |
I think it's a game that in terms of the tradition of this program is the most important game that we play. I think for any team playing in it, it's a big game. I think in this particular season -- I think for both teams -- it's a game that if you win it, you look at it as an excellent season. If you lose it, it's probably a disappointing season. |
I think Shane is the toughest back we have, I didn't realize how tough he was. You can see that by the yards he gets after he gets hit. But I also like that he has had some runs where he outran people. He is one of those backs who wouldn't time real good if he ran against the clock, but he can run as fast as he has to when someone is chasing him. |
I think that Samantha has been taking it to a higher level all year long. Mentally, she's at a higher level and has developed on the golf course maturity wise to where she knows she doesn't have to be at her best all the time to compete and win. But she certainly goes into each event knowing that she has what it takes and never questions herself. |

I think the main thing is we are pretty similar personality-wise off the ice. We're both pretty low key. We don't get to high or too low at any point at all. We like coming to the rink and having fun. It's easy to come in and talk to him and see what's going on. He talks about kids. He tells me what's going on. It's just a real easy relationship. |
I think to an extent we've taken for granted the last few Fed meetings, and next week's meeting takes on more significance, ... A quarter-point hike is pretty much expected, but I think the relative bumpiness of the recent economic news could mean the Fed will indicate that rates may not rise as aggressively last year as people had been thinking. |

I want, and I'm convinced that I will, end my career at Real Madrid. In football you can never tell what's going to happen, but I still think that I've got a lot to give as a player and I would like to continue at one of the best clubs in the world - Real Madrid. I want to stay here for many more years, for as long as Real Madrid want me to stay. |
I wanted to do something that had a purely musical inspiration, and I was inspired by the sound of choirs and the English pastoral music I used to hear when growing up. I was also inspired by the textures and rhythmic vitality of the so-called minimalists, Philip Glass and John Adams, and I'm always intrigued by the sound of the recording studio. |
I was being kept abreast of everything by phone, phoned almost by the hour, so I knew everything that was going on... I still can't come to terms with it now. It's just almost like a dream. It's like a nightmare that you wake up to every day. That's all we can say. It's just devastating. It's going to take a long time even just for it to sink in. |
I was in Canada running the Manitoba Theatre Centre as artistic director and I had written to Mr. Prince and asked him if he would give me his stage manager copy of the musical 'Company,' which I was going to do in my season there, ... He said, 'Yes,' and then said, 'By the way, Stephen's written you a musical and I'm going to send you the book.' |
I was shocked but I think the lads, regardless of what happens, always stick together. I don't feel there will be a problem with the manager. Even if there was, the players are always together and striving for the same goals, which is to bring the World Cup home. I don't think it will have any negative effect; hopefully it'll have a positive one. |
I was trying to throw in and missed and it got away from me. Then the whole inning got away from me, the whole game. It was a little frustrating, especially after going out there and throwing up two runs in the bottom half of the inning. Then I go out there and give up seven runs in the top half of the inning. That's 100 percent not doing my job. |
I'd say we have a team that's five times better than the one in 2001. We're a more complete team, especially now that we've got No. 8 [Rex Grossman] back. He's the guy that is our leader. A guy that we all respect, a guy that we know has all the talent in the world, and we're gong to go as far as he takes us. We've got a lot of confidence in him. |
