Roger Ailes, former media guru for Bush's father, had a message. Rove told the president. It had to be confidential because Ailes, a flamboyant and irreverent media executive, was currently the head of Fox News Channel, the conservative-leaning television cable network that was enjoying high ratings. In that position, Ailes was not supposed to be giving political advice. |
Sen. Bennett succinctly and clearly outlined the reasons to oppose both the proposed Yucca Mountain and PFS facilities, ... The momentum is shifting and the timing is right to address our nuclear waste challenges in a way that offers real, long-term solutions. The safest, most reasonable and effective solution is to store nuclear waste where it is already being produced. |
She was watching TV reports a few weeks ago, sad reports about so many people with nowhere to go, people who were stranded. Michelle was crying and very emotional. She told me when the negotiations with Nike and Sony were complete, she wanted to donate money to help. We said, 'How much?' thinking it would be $100,000. She said $500,000. Sometimes, she still surprises me. |
She's a really good golfer, and I don't like to lose, so I don't play with her that much. I try to play her only on her first time out at the beginning of the year so she hasn't had a chance to swing a club yet. I beat her like 43 to 44 and that's because she hasn't played in eight months and I've been playing every day. I have to pick my spots. I try to get in her head. |
She's an unselfish kind of player. She's very good at passing to help break the press... And being 6-4, that's a given [when it comes to college recruiting interest]. That's something you can't coach. A lot of times when you are that big, you can't run. But she gets up and down the floor well and has nice hands. She catches just about everything that's thrown around her. |
So many people, whether they knew her or not, felt somehow connected to her. If you went out with her to a restaurant in New York or anywhere in the country — because her plays were done all over the country — it was like going out with a rock star: people coming up to her and saying, 'How much your work meant to me. I feel like I have seen my life through your eyes. |
Some search committees are saying, 'Who's out there that's the next Bruce Pearl?' Gregg Marshall is one of those guys. So it's kind of dangerous. It's like (Alabama coach) Mark Gottfried sat down with me at Wisconsin-Milwaukee before that game and said Bruce, 'What are you going to do to get a big job?' And I said, 'Beat you!' Probably the same thing with Gregg Marshall. |

That would be unbelievable. I don't know how probability works. Every time you go to the race track you have the same chance of winning no matter how you performed in the past, so I'm trying not to think about what happened before -- just go out and do the same thing we did the first time and the second time and if we get the same result, man, that would be unbelievable. |
That's always how I played sports from the time I was a kid. I just kind of developed that and it wasn't a reputation that I relished. I took more flak for it than anything but when you're competing you become a different type of person. You certainly become more instinctive and you react more than you have time to contemplate and control your emotions, or at least I do. |
The agents were in the process of trying to effect the arrest of a dangerous fugitive, ... While the agents were serving the arrest warrant, there was an exchange of gunfire and an FBI agent was shot and seriously wounded and Ojeda Rios suffered a fatal wound. Based on the preliminary information available to us, we have every reason to believe the agents acted properly. |
The American people don't see this as a No. 1 issue, so (Bush's team is) not really willing at this point to take a lot of action, which they fear would cost jobs. If it comes about as a result of other steps they're taking, then fine. They don't volunteer it because they don't see that they're going to get a political benefit for it, and it'll just make some people mad. |
The big thing was he threw strikes, and I was very pleased. That?s the name of the game when you?re pitching. It was good for us to see. He?s pitched a little bit over the last couple years. He needs to get out there and get the feel of starting a game, knowing it?s going to be his game. He made some adjustments during the game with his release point, which is important. |
The confidence that comes from getting on any type of run gives you that confidence once you initiate that run again. We've got to pitch well, we've got to play solid defense and we've got to get timely hitting and execute, which is what we did for the last three months last season - with a lot of guys people didn't know against a lot of teams with some pretty big names. |
