We are a small city from a small country but we have a big heart. We knew Porto's wingers attacked a lot so our strategy was to take advantage of it, working the diagonals. Our first goal picked up the team's spirit and got them to believe in coming back. When we scored two more we weren't going to let the win get away. |

We are cautiously optimistic that at least in some parts of the country, influenza may have peaked. But there's still plenty of flu out there, and we're still encouraging people with flu-like illness who meet the criteria for concerns or complications to be sure and seek medical attention if they do develop the illness. |
We are lowering our risk rating to High from Speculative as we believe Children's Place risk profile has improved through better execution and a rising cash balance. We reiterate our Buy rating and expect continued solid growth in sales at both divisions, and significant improvement in gross margin at the Disney Stores. |
We are thrilled to be expanding Camp Erin into the Boise and Sun Valley communities. Camp Erin is such a gift to the children, and makes an incredible difference in their lives by providing hope and comfort during the painful grieving process. We are also very excited about our unique Dream Catchers auction in February. |
We are very excited to be a part of the CAPE project. It is a groundbreaking engineering initiative and a promising collaboration between the University and its corporate partners. The engineers within this facility will be working on leading technology developments with the potential to shape the future of our society. |
We believe that IBM is a second-half story and now we're there. We believe earnings growth should take the stock higher and we'd be even more optimistic if we had confidence in execution. We think the key to long-term appreciation is figuring out if IBM is a new technology or old technology stock. It's some of both now. |
We broke no rules and we did it with good kids. Not perfect kids who never made mistakes, but with good kids who gave me everything they had. Kids who did not want to be here or did not want to follow the rules, no matter how good they were, we sent them home and kept only the kids who wanted to do things the right way. |
We came here to test some different things and it showed some promise. The worst thing that could have happened is that we put in the tune-up that qualified us No. 2 and No. 3 at the last two races in Brainerd (Minn.) and Memphis. We learned some things these past two days. Any time you run the car, you learn something. |
We can't rest on what we've done, ... It's in the past, and we have to keep moving forward and getting better. Regardless of the things we have been doing good, there are still some bad plays here and there. We've been lucky they haven't been exploited, and we just need to keep doing what we're doing and pound the rock. |
We certainly created some adversity for ourselves to overcome out there, ... but I was really pleased with how we responded time in and time out. Nobody's ever happy with penalties. Nobody's ever happy with turnovers. But I think it's most important to establish how you respond to that stuff when it happens in the game. |
We did receive incorrect information that was provided to us, and we made the decision to loan the money based on the financial statements that were presented to us. It's apparent that there are some discrepancies in those financial statements and the recommendations were for us to get legal advice and we're doing that. |
We didn't come out in the best mode. He was getting ahead of some hitters, then he was bouncing some balls. We weren't very patient and I thought we were giving him a lot of credit. I can see maybe why, because he's pitched good against us. But at the same time, I'd like to think we can beat anybody that goes out there. |
We do have concerns that businesses who were potentially looking to relocate to San Diego may reconsider based on the instability of the fiscal system here in San Diego. You would never want to relocate a business to San Diego and, on arriving, be hit by major fee and tax increases that increase your costs of operation. |
We earned the right to play this game at home, and that is very important. As we have come down the stretch, starting with the Dallas game in early December, our home crowd has unquestionably been a factor in our performance. Our team feeds off the crowd, and we have been able to energize the crowd with our performance. |
