My father would leave home for seven or eight months of the year trying to pursue his hockey career. We only saw him in the off season and I had no idea what he was going through until my early teens. That's when I started collecting stories and articles written about my father. I have over a thousand of them. |

My ultimate career goal is to just try to find a niche where I can make a living at making people happy, and using the talents I have been blessed with. What good is making a ton of money if you can't have any fun in life? I am so lucky to be able to be one of the clowns who help people find joy in their life. |
My vision for the future of the BBC has three parts: a bold new program and content strategy based above all around the idea of excellence; a transformation of the BBC into a state-of-the art digital broadcaster; and an irreversible shift in the culture of the BBC toward simplicity, opportunity and creativity, |
Neither he nor the United States government supports a coup -- the overthrow of a democratically elected government. What he was speaking to was what appears to be an encouraging prospect, that what has happened appears to have brought stability and resulted in an easing of tensions between Pakistan and India. |
Network security and the ability to operate in the face of disaster are some of the top concerns for integrated communications providers. In today's converged telecom market, security solutions are more critical than ever before and Telecom NEXT is the only place to see the latest advances in network security. |
Never approach it from a permanent basis. Tell them you'd like to try it for three months. Tell them they can evaluate you at the beginning, once in the middle and once at the end, to see how it's working in terms of productivity. Then tell them you'll sit down and reevaluate it at the end of the trial period. |
No, I don't think we'll lose players because he's gone there. I think we might lose other players because other teams are able to get exorbitant amounts of money for them. [But] it has to dry up somewhere, and I can't believe that corporate support for non-big-name players will be anywhere near that magnitude. |
Nobody expected us to win. The kids believed and I believed and maybe St. Peter's took us lightly. You just go out and play. What do you have to lose? You lose, you're 3-25 and what's the difference? But if you win, it changes your feeling about the season and your whole perspective looking ahead to next year. |
Nobody over there wants to be on the first team that loses to us again. We know we'll get their best lineup. We've got the skill level to hang with them and make it close in the end. When you can make them worry about being the first to lose to Auburn in like 85 contests, maybe that will play to our advantage. |
Not to belittle what I was able to do in bowling, ... Bowling was wonderful to me and I?m proud of what I accomplished. But when I bowled for a living, I was supposed to win my share of tournaments. Winning a golf tournament to me is more like going up to Seven Feathers and winning. You don?t really expect it. |

Obviously the tech stocks have been hit hard over the last few weeks, but I don't think most people realize that this actual downdraft began in September of 1995, ... These stocks have been getting hit now for 6 consecutive quarters and they have underperformed the market. I think most of its coming to an end. |
Of course the subject matter is controversial, but I decided to do it because I really respect the people behind it, Company Pictures, who've made great television like The Lakes and Shameless, ... It's very dark but it's not gratuitously violent, or exploitative; it's been made responsibly, not sensationally. |
