Investors have made it very clear that they don't believe the merchant companies really are going to continue to have significant returns to corporations. I think that's a major driving force that has had the ratings agencies rethink how they want to view these companies. |
It all kind of snowballed on me. I left a couple of pitches up. I kind of fell into some bad counts where I had to go after some hitters. When you fall behind guys like these, you get hurt a lot. It's a good team and you want to attack them. You don't want to fall behind. |

It appears to be based more on a political agenda than facts. The United States does more than any country in the world to advance freedom and promote human rights. … The focus should be more on those who are violating human rights and denying people their human rights. |
It became apparent very quickly that he was never going to be comfortable in or make peace with the mask. You spend a long time as an actor learning what to do with your face. It is the big tool that you have, and so are your eyes. When you take that away, it's difficult. |
It certainly shows that we're outspending our income, though the fact that the negative savings rate narrowed a bit is encouraging. Consumers have been borrowing to finance their purchases, but they've been borrowing off of increases in capital gains, which is not so bad. |
It doesn't happen by luck or accident, ... There's an awful lot of planning. I want us to play with a freedom that is organized - but we're not basking in what has happened so far. We won't be resting on our laurels, and if any player thinks differently, I will act on it. |
It doesn't make sense for us to pay a price that's inconsistent with our model and with our responsibility to our shareholders. We have not been able to agree a price and so we are moving on. There is a lot of activity in Europe at this moment and we are focusing on that. |
It doesn't seem like there's a rivalry here. I know our townspeople get up for it, but our kids don't. (The rivalry's) not there like it used to be. It's just a phenomenon I've never dealt with. I've been upset with the kids because they haven't been too excited about it. |
It feels really good for us to know that we still have a chance to go to states at this time of the year. We just have to work hard and take it one day at a time. We can do this as a team. Our coaches believe in us, now we just have to believe in ourselves to get it done. |
It had gotten to the point where we just felt like we needed a change to try and stimulate something, whether it was Kurt or whoever it was in that situation. Unfortunately, it was Kurt. And it was good for Kurt to change scenery probably and get in a different situation. |

It is critical that the faith community work together to do all that we can to heal the heart and the land, ... This is the real prophetic mission of all faiths. We are truly encouraged by the solidarity and outpouring of support exhibited by those in the faith community. |
It is disappointing to get this close and to see the ball go in the basket and then have it taken away from you. I just think that's a really tough way to lose a game. It really surprised me that that would be called then. ... It seems at that point it would be a no-call. |
