The league's proposal today was a transparent attempt to impose on our December 9 proposal the effects of their twice-rejected February 2, triple-cap proposal. The NHL knows that our December 9 proposal was never designed to meet the effects of their triple-cap proposal and that at least one of the stipulated events would be immediately triggered. |
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; / According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. |

The percentage is reduced each year, until after five years the fire department is able to continue on with paid staffing with it's own funding. At a time when volunteer fire departments across the nation are struggling to obtain new volunteers, this cut really hurts. It means fire departments will have to look to the public for even more support. |
The program has come a long way here, and we are all excited for the new season. Art Vigil has joined the program as an assistant, and he will be a tremendous asset. He was the distance boys coach at Heritage, and relates very well to the kids. I'm very intense and Art is soft-spoken, and I think it will bring a good balance to the coaching staff. |
The rational basis behind the prohibition on termination of pregnancy is the preservation of potential human life, ... With an anencephalic fetus, there is no life. Therefore, it's irrational, and I would say cruel, to apply the restriction in a case like Jane Doe's. This is about the government making this principle that is irrational and tragic. |
The reality is that we have a history with Gore and have worked with him on many issues. There are people in the Bush camp who don't seem to grasp tech issues, and they have sent out some signals I'm not comfortable with. Gore really understands the essence of the industry, and I think his appointees to key places would reflect that understanding. |
The reason we started the program was because we found out there were kids going home over the weekend without food to eat. They come back Monday morning hungry and not ready to learn, sleeping on their desks and having some discipline problems. We want to make sure people do not have to make choices of food or utilities, or food or medical bills. |
The Red Cross is launching the largest mobilization of resources in its history for a single natural disaster, ... We're being called upon to provide close to 2,000 Red Cross volunteers from the Northeast Service Area, and we're gearing up locally by doing what we do best -- coming together to respond with compassion to take care of our neighbors. |

The schedule is something we wanted to address. We think with the addition of Miami (Fla.) and some other changes we made to our mid-week opponents, we have taken steps in the right direction. We will always try and play the best teams in the nation during the non-conference portion of our schedule to better prepare us for Big Ten play and beyond. |
The shortage of qualified workers has been a serious and growing problem for several years. But it is also noteworthy that more than one in four top executives feel their own limitations may be a barrier to the success of their business in the year ahead. This is an indicator of just how complex it is to manage a growing technology business today. |
The slowdown in futures orders clearly signals that revenue growth in the second half of fiscal 1998 will be below our previous expectations. This is largely a result of the slowdown in the Asia Pacific market, where we now anticipate more moderate revenue growth in fiscal 1998 after increasing 84 percent on a constant dollar basis in fiscal 1997, |
The streams seem to be running a little low. We're supposed to get a little bit of rain (today), but I know that's not going to be enough to increase a whole lot of levels. ... I'm concerned about it, and maybe without any rain or the lack of snow, come July and August when we're really into the dog days of summer, we're going to have some issues. |
The thing that has been the most hurtful today is the fact that there have been a lot of other really good guys who are paying a penalty by taking down the accomplishments of four years of what guys did on the court. Most of those guys had absolutely nothing to do with any of this and I think that's unfortunate and very, very unfair to those kids. |
