I don't know that any particular construction project would prevent what happened the other night. The key thing is, you've got to make eye contact between [driver and pedestrian] to recognize that the car in fact is going to stop and the person is in fact going to cross the street. All the flashing lights won't make a bit of difference if that piece doesn't happen. |
I have a special emergency wish that I hope can come true. You guys are my last hope. My wish is to keep my school open until I graduate eighth grade ... the Archdiocese plans to close my school. I know they don't want to, but they think it would be best for them, but they just don't understand that my school is my second home and all the people there are my family. |
I have a whole new respect for the guys that are successful at it, because it's not an easy job to sit for a few days and come in and face those nasty setup men when you're cold. That's why most organizations, most managers tend to lean on veteran guys like myself. We've been around awhile and maybe have a book on some of those pitchers and can handle the situation. |
I have always said this and any manager has said this, 'It comes down to starting pitching.' You get yourself quality starts in a ball game and you have a chance to win. They did and we didn't. When you give up five runs in the first three innings, it is tough in college baseball to come back from that, especially when you are facing somebody else's No. 1 [pitcher]. |
I have found a deep sense of commitment and pride from the Nortel employees and I am excited by the energy generated for our business transformation, integrity renewal and growth activities. I also want to thank our employees and leadership team who have continued to execute with a passionate customer focus in the face of many challenges over the last several years. |
I have no idea whether anyone will have any desire to read it. Will people who don't know me at all grab the book off the shelf to read it? That would be lovely, but I didn't think about the audience when I was writing. You're building the book for yourself, and it becomes your companion. If people hate it, then that's great ? at least they have an opinion about it. |
I have to admit that I enjoyed the time off the road devoted solely to the recording process and quality family time. Now that the new album is out and I've performed for television studio audiences, I realize how much I've missed the live show! I'm so excited to reintroduce these ?Timeless' classics to country music fans as well as perform hits from my past albums. |
I indicated this morning it isn't where you start, it is where you end, ... And it is still my hope and expectation, really, that at the end of the day we are going to have a broad level of support on both sides of the aisle for a resolution that indicates our support for the United Nations effort and our support for the administration's effort in dealing with Iraq. |
I just wanted to let people know that this project is going to come in way over budget and fear that lake property owners are going to be stuck paying much more than what they were told. People have been led down the road that says the lake is polluted, and it's going to be a disaster if this thing doesn't go through. And I just don't believe that's the case at all. |
I just wish our team could have been better so it could have been more of a celebration than an ending, ... The same with Gretz, too. It was disappointing for him. I guess the flip side is if they were on good teams, they both might have played forever. Mark came back to New York to try to help things get back on track. When it didn't work out, he said, 'That's it.' |
I knew it had been awhile, but I didn't realize it was that long. Our philosophy is a little different. We don't start with an easy schedule. We try and get teams that will really challenge us and really prepare us well for district play. You do that and you're going to take your lumps, but you're going to be better. You just don't progress unless you play the best. |
I loved it. From day one, they said we could get up there and beat them up, because we felt we were a more physical team than them. We couldn't go out there and just play a finesse ball game. They are more a finesse team. They are better at that than we are. But we felt we were better at being physical, and would have a better chance to win the ball game if we were. |
I never really got into a position to do anything. They always had an extra body around if I ever did get past Rip (Hamilton), which was hard to do in itself. They just surrounded me and I was never in a position to do anything. We've got to make adjustments to combat what they did against me because I saw (two or three) people every time. So we have to adjust that. |
I ran the rest of the game, ... It's just a little swollen and a little stiff. It's not painful. It's not horrible pain. Obviously, I played with it in the second half. I was conscious of it, so I could feel something wasn't exactly right. I just played through it. After the game there was some swelling, and then (Sunday and Monday) there was a little more swelling. |
I tell my story not so much to lecture or teach, but rather to open the door for students to be honest with themselves and others. When I was growing up, I had a false idea of what an alcoholic was, and I did not believe I fit the description. I refused help for quite a while after it became clear to others that I had a problem, mostly due to that stereotype I held. |
