If we think about it for a minute, if we had not done what was done in World War II, then we'd a be living in a much different world today, ... I think can you take that and fast forward to today. We have a great threat out from there terrorism. If we don't handle this in the right way, I don't think we'll like the world we live in in five years. |

If you look at the macro picture of what the market has done the last two days, it's been completely driven by momentum buyers. You've had two or three days of very strong performance and then coming into a weekend, people are just taking a bit off the table. It's a healthy neutral day. The bias is that it's much better to buy than it is to sell. |
If you're letting people handle tens of thousands of dollars, you usually ask for some bond on those people. Here, you usually have a collection of midlevel managers with the key to nearly everything you own, especially if you're in the business of creating intellectual property. Do you do a background check on them? Do you ask them to be bonded? |
Illegal immigration is bankrupting states along the border, but this is about more than economics -- we're placing our national security at risk. Drug lords and violent gangs like MS-13 are streaming into the U.S. from Mexico. Terrorists are also walking in unopposed; our southwestern border is littered with Arabic papers and Islamic prayer rugs. |
In all of our shows, we have a narrative. When you have music in the forefront, the lyrics help people understand (the story). The other main focus in 'Delirium' is multimedia. We're using it as never before. We did a 10-day video shoot in Montreal with the characters, acrobats, artists and dancers in the show. We also have a live camera onstage. |

In an interesting way, the operation becomes almost a metaphor for hope and optimism. A little child can have a new face with a smile restored, and suddenly his mother's smile is restored and his father's and the outer family's... and they bring him back to the village and the village is delighted... The ripples and effects of this are fantastic. |
In China, we stress a portfolio focused on domestic stocks and certain market leading consumer stocks in industries where there has been consolidation. Banks are also interesting, with good credit growth, the probability for increased fee income and implementations of cost cutting measures. Valuations may not be cheap but still appear attractive. |
In light of recent horrible events, we decided to expand the scope of our memorial to include those who have suffered so much on the Gulf Coast. We invite everyone in the Louisville area to join us, sit in silence, and light a candle to honor the memory of those who have died in terrorist activities or in natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. |
In my situation, I've always tried just to worry about what's right in front of me, that day's meetings, that day's practice, ... You can't get caught up in the day-after-day thing where you let it get to you. You have to make every day new, or at least try to. You start counting heads or something, you'll lose your grip on what needs to be done. |
In our business, we have the unique opportunity to make something truly special and create art on a major scale that brings enjoyment to many people. I'm fortunate to be in a field where I get the chance to live out my dream every day and work with a group of people who are not only talented and gifted professionals but who are also dear friends. |
In our family, we recognized that jockeying for position, so it meant a lot for me to be able to play the character who was doing that in a transparent and needy way. I think mothers-I don't know-make each one feel more favorite. But then again, maybe not. The weird thing is, does it affect you in later life? If you knew you were the favored one? |
In our sum-of-the-parts valuation, we estimate that intrinsically, the stock could be worth as much as $27 a share, if all of the value were unlocked. While its is unclear whether management will choose to or be able to unlock some or all of this 'hidden' value, the company stated that it is conducting a strategic evaluation on all of its assets. |
In recent weeks we have seen frequent demonstrations under foreign flags and the emergence of a counter-national anthem. We see people demanding to be treated differently under the law. Monday should be an opportunity for the rest of us to show that we are one nation, with one flag, one national anthem, and one set of laws that apply to everyone. |
