This city is very fortunate to have an owner who's committed to bringing winning baseball to Pittsburgh. This city should embrace that and get behind this young team and give them a chance to grow and to get better...I'm going to miss tremendously putting on a Pirate uniform, one I wore very proudly for 15 years. I feel I have roots in this community and I'm proud to be part of this community. |
This is really tough. I talked to Miguel last night. I didn't even know he was hurt. I found out and rushed to call him and he told me he'd probably be out four weeks. That's just a real big loss, a real big piece missing to our puzzle. Of course, I've got to step up and we all do to take Miguel's place. I know that's what he wants. I'll just try to do a real good job, the way he's been doing. |
This process is an important new alternative to metallic inks and foil laminates. It opens the door for product packaging line extensions that were previously cost prohibitive. In addition, we can add a metallic look to specific objects on the carton design -- such as a product photo or a company logo -- so they stand out, while still complementing the overall color palette and package design. |
This ruling is bad for gamers, but it could also be terrible for the software industry, ... It essentially shuts down any competitor's add-on innovation that customers could enjoy with their legitimately purchased products. Add-on innovation is one of the hottest areas of creativity and economic growth right now in software, and this decision will slow investment and development in that field. |
This season has gone great, other than two races, ... I got in an accident with Bourdais in Mexico, which put me out of the race, and then I was leading in Toronto and ran out of gas. We had those two races where we had bad luck and Bourdais hasn't had any bad luck at all this season. We just need to try and continue to get top-three finishes at every race and do what we can to catch Bourdais. |
This settlement agreement is an important step toward protecting the Internet and ICANN for the future. The terms of the agreement will ensure that the security and stability of the Internet can withstand the threats of tomorrow. In addition, the agreement will give ICANN the financial security it needs to fend off efforts to usurp power by the UN and repressive regimes such as China and Iran. |
This transaction brings us to the next chapter in the evolution of our business. We are excited to have J.W. Childs and Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity on board to support us in our efforts as we continue to pursue our growth strategy. We are also very pleased that Allied Capital will remain our financial partner and that John Shulman will continue to hold a seat on our Board of Directors. |
This was our best performance by far. We raised our game and made so many tackles without missing half as many as in previous matches. Mentally we were prepared for the Crusaders and now we must just keep on doing the job. That will entail keeping our confidence up and sticking to our guns and our game-plan by hanging onto the ball and hopefully drawing first blood and not slipping thereafter. |
Those first trips were to Zaire, and we made sure that 100 percent of the donations we received made it to the field, ... Dr. Morgan, an orthopedic surgeon, did 65 operations in a little over six weeks. Dr. Pueda went to a hospital with no electric power and took out a little girl's spleen by flashlight. He saved her life while we all stood around and held Wal-Mart flashlights so he could see. |
Though evidence shows that the terrorists are interested in acquiring nuclear weapons to use against our cities, a learned writer for the New York Review of Books insists that the real weapons of mass destruction are world poverty and environmental abuse. Of course, world poverty is rarely mentioned by terrorists, and those known to be involved have almost all been well fed and are well to do. |
To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: / And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: / Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever: / And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever: / And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: / Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
Twenty-five years ago this coming March 30, President Reagan and I were totally surrounded by the world's best-trained law enforcement professionals, yet they were not capable of preventing a man with a concealed handgun from almost killing the President of the United States. Putting a concealed handgun inside the jacket of anyone who doesn't have a felony conviction is reckless public policy. |
Unauthorized filling of wetlands and damming of open waters can have serious environmental consequences. The Santa Clara River is one of the last free-flowing rivers in Southern California. The EPA's action today underscores our commitment to protecting this very important water resource and to work closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other resource agencies to achieve this goal. |
Wayne Bridge is a world class player and even though he is only just returning from injury, we are more than delighted to have him on board for the remainder of the season. Obviously with the World Cup around the corner Wayne is keen to play regular football and given that some big clubs were interested in signing him this window, we are delighted that he has chosen Fulham above everyone else. |
We apologize to the students who were awarded the Vice-Presidential Housing and Student Mentor Scholarships for the delay in providing them information they needed to make a decision on living in the new Foundation Residential Apartments. The policy will be revisited once the mortgage on the Foundation Residential Apartments has been fulfilled and the building is turned over to the University. |
