I visited Fuller every day for the first 20 or 30 years of my life. In those days, there was no pool and the park had limited amenities. Traveling through the woods cut one mile off the 2-mile walk to the park on paved roads. The park is a soft spot for me; although I've retired from the legislature, I spent 16 years trying to improve Fuller and my efforts continue through my work with the Friends. |
I want her to play whatever role she's willing to play. I think she has described a range of possibilities, but her experience and her abilities and her talents are so broad that I would predict that there are other opportunities that will present themselves. And she will discover them. But she is a remarkable woman. And she was a remarkable Senator and she will be remarkable here on post in Japan. |
I'd like to see us stick together and do well because we've struggled for four years -- five years for them. We haven't been to the playoffs and it's been frustrating. But at the end, whatever this team needs to do to get to that level -- to do our best -- we got to do what we got to do ... Most importantly, I'd like to see it work out (for the team), and I think they would tell you the same thing. |
I'm confident that this event can help us move forward. Italian baseball has arrived at a point where it must either take a step forward and become truly professional, or take two steps back and become a recreational sport. I think this experience will serve to demonstrate to our Italian players the need for their teams to become fully professional and for them to take their play to a higher level. |
I'm getting a lot of mail from shooting coaches around the country, ... They are banging the door down to come in and work with our guys and talk to our guys, so maybe I'm going to have to interview some people. No, I don't know. It's been our main guys missing. One game, everybody missed them. They're working on it. It's a long season and you hope that eventually we'll catch ourselves and improve. |
I'm going to be positive about it. You have a new group of players and it's going to take a while for us to gel together and today wasn't the best performance. I still think we're a very good team and after we make some technical improvements, we'll be OK. Right now we need to concentrate on defending as a team and once that happens and we're not giving up goals I can guarantee we'll start scoring. |
I'm not surprised by Mayor Goodman's reaction. I respect the mayor. I think he's a good guy, but he has always had an anti-homeless bent and he revels in name-calling. We didn't delight in ranking Las Vegas as a mean city again. We're just trying to put the spotlight on the city and let the mayor know that Las Vegas will never get off the list as long as he continues to declare war on the homeless. |
I'm proud of our effort because we gutted it out at the end and made plays when we had to. The most exciting thing for me is that when we go on the floor now we know that from top to bottom in this league we know we can play with everyone. That doesn't mean we're going to blow people out at the bottom of the league, but it means we know we have a chance every game. This team is learning how to win. |
I'm the one who signed it - but I told those people repeatedly that I wasn't the actress. I was at this airport, you see, and they kept insisting that I was Sandra Bullock. It's happened many times before - people mistaking me for the Hollywood star. But on this occasion they persisted. Finally, I agreed to give the autograph. But I made it clear that I was who I was - that I wasn't Sandra Bullock. |
I've got five ways to pay a bill in my wallet right now. Banks are trying to make everyone happy. You have a generation out there that is starting to retire and they've always used checks. Some people won't give it up. But there are a lot of college students who don't know how to write a check. As you get a new way to access cash and what you need, we provide that, but we don't get rid of anything. |
I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope... |

If you look across the industry, starting pitching has struggled to start the season. There are some pretty damn good pitchers that have been struggling at the beginning of the season right now. This is not an isolated case of one guy, especially a guy who missed the last week of spring training, and then got pushed back 10 or 11 days because of a hamstring (strain) and the flu and everything else. |
In order to stand out in this field, a competitive company like Zebra must continually prove its ability to be innovative and to deliver the product. Technology needs both invention and execution. Some companies excel at innovation. Others are renowned for their effective implementation of new products, services and strategies. Companies like Zebra who excel at both are true leaders in their field. |
In recent years, the FDA has demonstrated a too-cozy relationship with the pharmaceutical industry and an attitude of shielding rather than disclosing information. The opportunity to name a new commissioner is a chance to take the agency in a necessary new direction ... and reassert that the agency's top priority is what's good for John Q. Public when it comes to reviewing drugs in the marketplace. |
