Most large financial service companies have rushed new marketing materials to help boomers start thinking about retirement planning?and all are based on the financial services company focusing on you and your life, versus them and the products they want to sell.

You have to embrace and welcome the role that you're given. A lot of people on the outside always said to me, 'You need to have statistics to say you're a great player.' I didn't buy into that. The only statistics I looked at were wins and losses. Whether I was catching two passes in a game or clearing the way for Jerome, I just wanted to win. There was a year when I had 18 receptions and six went for touchdowns (in '97). I made plays when I had to. I just don't think you can make a fair judgment on a tight end based solely on numbers. I'm sure Heath feels the same way about this, because from what I've heard, he's an unselfish kid who wants to be a winner.

My comments at that time were based upon some projects that were coming forward that, when you read the projects and read the proposals and the staff reports, it made you wonder who was driving the long-range planning, ...

We've been extremely honest and straight with players in terms of development and why they're staying at certain levels. Players need to perform. They just don't get promoted based on potential. It's performance-based, same as in the big leagues.

While we have not yet received a copy of the charge, based on the information contained in (media) reports we are confident that the charge has no merit whatsoever. It is regrettable that the individuals responsible for filing the charge have chosen to take this step at a time when NHLPA player representatives and executive committee members are in the midst of conducting a democratic and fair election. This election process ... will not be disrupted by such baseless actions.

Microsoft's customers depend on that information to figure out how to respond to Patch Tuesday. The reality is, system administrators will delay deploying a patch based on the details of the bulletin. When details aren't included, he won't install that patch. That is a big problem.

Microsoft's whole company's practice had been based on doing a great job on Windows and leaving integration with other operating systems to the third-party partners. Now they are trying not to make decisions that make it harder to manage other platforms.

We don't really base it around good and evil or the moral impact of the story, ... We just don't include the bad things in the story.

We just let Happy and Max do fun things.

When that happens, it's a clock. It's nature's clock, and we are able to predict tide levels based on what we record today. Today, as I speak, right in front of me there's a construction crew.

We have some extra numbers in positions where we can afford the opportunity to look at some of the European players in this game and rest some of the domestic players.

But we have guys we need to look at now.

We have some good expectations for Nissan for the coming year based on a richer U.S. product cycle.

We'll try to compare what has been observed (Monday) with these two time-lines to see what's possible and what's impossible based on that information. That's really the only thing we can do.

We've gotta increase taxes on the rich. We need to have more regulations on success. We need to punish success, be it in the classroom with outcome based education or be it with a tax code or whatever.
