I am excited about expanding our insurance operations and moving into niches we see as less volatile during a competitive market cycle. Our experience in delivering service provided us insight into opportunities that will help grow our insurance business. We spent considerable time and effort developing our strategy and the relationships necessary to begin this growth initiative and are confident that we will be very successful over time. |
I am excited to be part of the Forest City/Harrah's team. I've lived and played in this community for years and I believe these two companies bring the expertise and strengths that Pittsburgh needs to make gaming successful. This partnership will help Pittsburgh and our communities continue to grow and improve. If the gaming commission selects Forest City and Harrah's, I am honored to be the President of the foundation and serve our City. |
I couldnt be more pleased, or proud, to continue our relationship with Peter and Fran on this film. There are no filmmakers who better understand the delicate balance between technology and drama, and how the best use of todays astonishing digital tools is in the service of not only spectacle but also a solid story. We are confident that the HALO feature film can be most fully realized under the creative direction of Peter, Fran and Weta. |
I do not think that they have the right to tell us to remove our profiles. It is a free open forum online that is accessible to any individual with a university e-mail address. You have the option to put up your information, and if someone is dumb enough to put all of their info on their profile, then yes, there is a possibility that some creep could stalk you. However, the individual whose profile it is needs to be responsible and smart. |
I don't know what's going to happen here. I'm not the general manager . . . I'm not the owner. I'm just a player that has to do his job to help his team win and whatever happens, happens. We as players can only control one thing: how we perform on the ice. We need more guys worried about that than worried about other things right now. That's probably (why the Blues are in) the situation we're in right now, because people worry about that. |
I don't know where all these anonymous sources come from. Unfortunately we're in Boston, so there's stuff being thrown out there. Schilling's been hurt and it's taken him time to get ready. I even said after the season, in my book, that Schilling risked his career to go out there and pitch against the Yankees. He could have been done after last year. He wanted to come back and fight again and try to get us back to where we were last year. |
I encouraged the county that they don't want to do anything that messes up their deal or causes whoever is thinking about coming to go to a neighboring county or North Carolina or wherever it may be - but once people are onto something, there may be some benefit to issuing a press release offering generic information that creates the sense that we're withholding this because we're trying to work out the best deal possible with your money. |
I guess I don't want to get too much in detail. But I was just picturing in my mind and weeping with all the people that were left in the city and the experiences they had. Many of those experiences I've heard, many of them I can only dream about. . . . To think of that chaos and the way in which people died and the way in which people potentially are still dying, I allowed myself to really think of that and to weep for them this morning. |
I guess you can say we did take a good whipping to some degree...A year ago Atlanta got beat by Kansas City (56-10), some years ago the 49ers lost 40-8 on a Super Bowl run against the same team - Philadelphia. When I was at Denver we had our lumps in our Super Bowl years. Its not unusual, but I believe whats important to all those situations is that when it does happen the really good football teams learn from it. |
I know if I'd played somewhere else, I would've scored many more points, ... but George was such a dominant player, you just had to take advantage of a force like that. And he played his heart out. In my lifetime I've seen only two centers who could just take charge of a game, who could put so much fear in other players that they stayed away from the middle. One was Bill Russell. The other, and he was even more dominant, was George Mikan. |
I know we didn't win the regular season, but I don't know how finishing second was all that great when you have to get the winner of South Florida-Notre Dame in the first round. I'm saying to myself, the four teams with a bye, this is what we get for a great season. I'm not sure that's ever been the case. They've come into this league and dramatically altered the landscape. They certainly have benefited and we have benefited from it also. |
I think His Majesty agrees we need to do everything we can to support Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas] and the Palestinian Authority, to make sure that his police have the tools they need to provide the security, ... That is the big question there. The Israelis are reluctant to allow any kinds of weapons across, into Gaza, into the West Bank, to the security forces, but if he doesn't have those security forces properly armed he can't do the job. |
I think I have some ideas. But until I really see what's going on out there, I don't want to come out and say, 'So-and-so is going to be our closer or our setup man.' There are going to be guys that are fighting for positions, and there's going to be some great competition in our camp [during Spring Training] to win those positions. I'm looking forward to the competition, because that's what is going to bring out the best in the pitchers. |
I think if you took a secret ballot in the Senate and House, you'd get a majority of Republicans joining on to those [libertarian] concerns. But the majority of Republicans in both houses see themselves more as field soldiers in the president's army than as independent actors in an independent branch of government. ... [That group is] very reluctant to challenge their president and to do so in a way that gives Democrats a political issue. |
I think we're getting the attitude to where when we get on the field, we're expecting to win. Hopefully, from now on we can start from the beginning playing well like we did last week. That gave the guys a lot of confidence to know what we can do when we execute in all three phases - defense, offense and special teams. But we can't rest on that and look ahead. We have a lot of football left. We're just going to take it one game at a time. |
