Criminals Quotes
For years, Lebanese have known that Palestinian camps like Nahr al-Barid and Ain al-Helwe - hopeless slums crowded with generations of disenfranchised Palestinian refugees who can't go home because of Israel, and can't work because of Lebanese laws - are awash with gunmen, criminals and, since the war in Iraq, al-Qaida inspired jihadists.

Amazing Quotes
When I was 4, my parents took me to see a musical, and I was like, 'I want to do that!' I started doing all sorts of musical camps and a lot of professional theater. I took dance classes for 10 years, too - I was never the most amazing kid in the other classes, but tap stuck with me for some reason.

Cuts Quotes
As parents, we need to send our kids back to 'old-fashioned' outdoor summer camps, which have been on the decline as the demand for sports and academics-based camps has risen. We need to fight budget cuts to public parks programs and resist closures of public swimming pools and playgrounds.

Best Quotes
Right now, he's definitely in the top 75 or better. A lot of reputations are earned in summer camps and major team tournaments. But there are still kids who emerge, like Patrick, with outstanding senior years. He ended up one of the best players in Chicago, and Illinois rates with Texas and California as the top states in the nation for producing players.

Area Quotes
I don't know whether it's a weakness, but one area that we want to improve is our power play. Our penalty killing has to improve, too. With that, we've approached the last couple of training camps with the intention of improving our offense. Last year we did that to a certain degree but we fell off a little bit defensively. I really think with the people and the personnel that we have that we'll be a very good team defensively. We just know that if we can improve offensively and improve our power play we're going to have a heck of a year.

Celebrate Quotes
I think there are goalkeepers who can get three shutouts in a row and still not get opportunities, just because it is so hotly contested. I've been in and out of camps for a long, long time and whenever I get opportunities to play, they are obviously things you relish and you celebrate those.

Anxious Quotes
I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.

Forward Quotes
I think I did pretty good for my first game and now I'm looking forward to my second. I just have to keep working hard and hope things work out. I spent two training camps here, so I knew everyone. This is a good group of guys who have always made me feel welcome. This wasn't like getting called up onto a new team.

Against Quotes
It is somewhat of a consideration, but if we think a guy is a player, we won't hold that against him. Sometimes you have a big lineman maybe who is dominating a bunch of little, bitty guys it's hard to get a feel, but there are also camps and combines and those type of things that let you get a little better look at some of these guys.

Boot Quotes
Wild Jack made a conscious decision to make the final table open only to feeder satellite winners. For as little as $11 or $22, a player will win a poker trip worth over $3,000. And with nominal buy-in fees, we plan on seeing a lot of our regulars, as well as newcomers who find poker boot camps appealing.

Coal Quotes
The people I've talked to say the situation in the coal camps is getting worse. Blasts are shaking their houses, and dust and mud covers the roads and everything. There is nothing preventative about the new laws they passed. It was just an after-the-fact thing. It does nothing to protect the people.

Along Quotes
We do have a group of about 50 people who are chronic homeless. They use the winter shelter when the weather is bad, but once it gets warm they are back at their makeshift camps under the bridges and along the river. They make very little effort to use the homeless services and improve their lives. We can offer all the programs in the world, but if they don't want to use them and don't want to change their lifestyles, there isn't much we can do about it.

The POW camps of North Vietnam were packed with Air Force and Naval Academy graduates. The six midshipmen in my Naval Academy class of 1968 who served as liaisons between the Marine Corps and the Brigade of Midshipmen later suffered nine Purple Hearts in Vietnam, and one man killed in action.

Ask Quotes
When we come to the other world and meet the millions of Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, 'What have you done?' there will be many answers. You will say, 'I became a jeweler.' Another will say, 'I smuggled coffee and American cigarettes.' Another will say, 'I built houses.' But I will say, 'I didn't forget you.' Â

Book Quotes
At the time I was writing 'Weedflower,' my friend Naomi Hirahara was writing a book about Japanese-American flower farmers. She knew quite a few elderly farmers and put me in touch with four or five of them who had been in camps during WWII. Some, like my father, were reluctant to talk about their experiences.
