Now that he's got this Collective Bargaining Agreement done for another six years, I guess he feels like his job is complete. He probably wasn't going to still be on the job when the next contract came up, so this is probably a good time for him to walk away – with the league in very good shape financially because of the new TV contracts. He's done an unbelievable job as commissioner. |
Obviously, Miami is a different way of life than New York. My grittier street songs are definitely influenced by New York. Just driving down the Bronx in my old neighborhood can inspire me every day. You never know what you are going to see or hear. I can't really say there is one thing that most inspires me from New York. But the city as a whole always gives me material to write about. |
On paper, sure, we should win Friday. But we still have to go down there, come out with emotion and execute. This group has played outstanding basketball for the duration of the season. I don't think a lot of people saw us being in this position at this juncture. But they've worked hard and believed in themselves, and Friday they have a chance to go out and get themselves some hardware. |
Once the character was established, I felt that I had to build a strong foundation for the Spawn brand name, ... To build a strong foundation you need four pillars. In the comic book industry, those pillars are television, video games, movies and toys or ancillary products. If you have a good foundation and pillars, you'd be surprised what you can build. You could even build skyscrapers |
One thing that could be a problem is breaking old habits. It's not that you don't understand what the new responsibilities or plays are, but just the fact that you've been doing something a long time and you're kind of used to doing it, it's a habit, and that's not what's required in the other system and that means kind of undoing something before you can even start to do something new. |
Ongoing dialogue about privacy issues is essential. We need a body of pragmatic business people who recognize the benefits and problems related to information security to seriously think through the issues and inform consumers, lawmakers and the business community. Information security is not a destination; it's a journey that will constantly raise new problems and demand new solutions. |
Operationally the admissions process is very well run by very well-regarded people, ... That lets us think a little outside the box in terms of the kind of person who we can bring in to provide a vision for Yale College admissions, to provide organizational leadership for the office, and to be the face of Yale to high school students, teachers and guidance counselors all over the world. |
Our agencies have been telling us that in the last year they've seen an 11 percent increase in need. They're seeing a lot more working poor families, husbands and wives who are both employed but just don't earn enough or people who were laid off a few years ago who got jobs again but don't make as much as they used to. When your income is strapped, food is one of the first things to go. |
Our defense bails us out a lot of times. Say what you will about both Rutgers games and how bad we were offensively, we had a chance to win. I used to have teams that made every play, every time. Now we're looking at a team that maybe doesn't have the ability to make every play, every time. But what we have to do is make certain plays at key times. If we can do that, we'll be all right. |
Our defense has played against Tiff Weimer for four years now, Melissa Miller and Emily Francis know her, and they are going to be the two responsible for trying to handle her. She is a pretty difficult player to contain, and it starts with just containing her. She is a hell of a talent, it's an honor for us to have her here in her senior year and have this opportunity to play with her. |
Our Hamlet is a very Israeli Hamlet from the language to its energy. As soon as local theater is authentic in its place, it has an opportunity abroad. If you look at Kurosawa's films for example, they are very local and very Japanese. When they retain their identity and if they're excellent, they have a chance abroad. Our Hamlet is honest and genuine. It crosses the barrier of language. |
Our industry has suffered for many years with an 'image' problem. Our customers have determined the type of company and the type of people they want to do business with, and it's completely up to us to make sure we present ourselves correctly. I believe that there has been a real change over the past several years. It took us awhile, but we now know that we're not the only game in town. |

Parents are looking for options that allow kids to incorporate physical activity into their play -- even at younger ages. Cranium first defined what that active experience should be for preschoolers with its Cranium Hullabaloo game. With the Hullabaloo DVD Game, Cranium expands the activity by providing an immersive animal environment that will keep kids engaged and playing even longer. |
President Bush broke the law and lied to the American people when he unilaterally authorized secret wiretaps of U.S. citizens. But rather than focus on this constitutional crisis, Attorney General Gonzales is cracking down on critics of his friend and boss. Our nation is strengthened, not weakened, by those whistle-blowers who are courageous enough to speak out on violations of the law. |
