The luncheon gives kids a tremendous opportunity to see and experience what the Padres do for them. Talking with the youngsters, a lot of them know what they want to do when they grow up. And they all realize the value of a college education and what it can do for them. |
The main thing is we still have [Williams]. We're going to get him back and he has a chance to go on learn a lesson from this. So, there's two ways to look at it. We're going to look at it as that we are blessed in this situation and the kids are going to learn from it. |
The main thing that we're looking at is that these are the three dominant players within the U.S. baby food market, and the proposed merger would effectively reduce that number from three to two. There's an increased chance for collusion is really what it comes down to. |
The majority of people that aren't sick enough to go to a doctor, we don't find out about. So our 23 cases we are reporting right now are only the worst cases, and many more are going undetected because they aren't sick enough to be tested or see a health care provider. |
The market has its doubts that the new German government is going to be able to proceed with the necessary economic reforms. People aren't going to be buying the euro on the basis of this result, because we need to see some evidence that the new government will deliver. |
The market has somewhat anticipated a half-point rate increase next week, so if they can see signs that the economy is slowing then the belief is that maybe the Fed will not have to do anything beyond the next meeting, and that maybe the worst of the rate raise is over. |
The market is worried that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates well into 2006 and possibly make a policy mistake. If you look at housing starts they're very strong. Everyone knows the unemployment rate is low and the Fed is uncomfortable with that. |
The market's saunter into 2006 continues, with just a few remaining events before the champagne and confetti. We have turned our focus to the first week of '06 -- in which we will see official Fed commentary, the employment report, and the market's return to full force. |

The more we work together on this (war on terror) the better off we are, ... When I was a junior officer you never even heard the term SOF (special operations forces) mentioned - never saw them if they came, they wouldn't talk to you and you didn't want to talk to them. |
The most embarrassing thing for me was the day Bob Hope called me up and I was spaced out on cocaine. I was supposed to do his TV special, and I didn't turn up. Consequently, I was blacklisted by NBC for a long time. I damaged my career, and almost ruined my whole life. |
The most important thing to me, in terms of thinking about the issue of impeachment, is to recognize that the Constitution does place a value on continuity. We don't want to have a situation where you make a single error, and you're exposed to an impeachment proceeding. |
The most overwhelming feelings I have right now are being frustrated and angry. You replay things in your head that you let slip away and it makes you so mad. The hardest feeling for me personally is feeling that I didn't do what I needed to do to represent the program. |
