One of the features of our annual meeting is that all the members gather in person to have face-to-face discussions about such subjects as breeding policies, canine health issues and testing programs. For example, we have discussed the prospects of including the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association's 'utility test' to go along with the 'natural ability' test we already now use in qualifying our dogs for our club's breeding program. Likewise, there have been some useful debates on how to sanction any breeders who have dogs with serious genetic defects.

One of the principle objectives of the terrorists is to divide us, one from another. So far ... they have failed in that objective. It's important that they continue to fail in that objective.

One of the really, really big reasons why the league has been so good is that it has had outstanding leadership. The commissioner has led the league through some real growth periods.

I can understand why he might have felt it was time to retire.

One of the great things about this country is that people are able to express their opinions on these issues.

One thing I've been thinking about is taking the social issues out of national politics. For example, if Georgia wanted abortion and Alabama didn't, that's going to be up to the people in Georgia. I can't sway them. Would I give them advice not to? Absolutely. Would I say it's wrong? Yes.

Ongoing dialogue about privacy issues is essential. We need a body of pragmatic business people who recognize the benefits and problems related to information security to seriously think through the issues and inform consumers, lawmakers and the business community. Information security is not a destination; it's a journey that will constantly raise new problems and demand new solutions.

My suspicion is that women are paying more attention to their health and are working on it. Men tend to make light of health issues more and wait until it's too late, some crisis comes along. They have a heart attack. Their blood pressure goes up.

One of the most vexing issues in most companies is the duplex mismatching problem.

One of the biggest issues all-in-one users face when scanning documents on their multi-function devices is the poor image quality.

Clearly, these compelling stories along with the quality of filmmaking have resonated with audiences and jury members alike.

I wouldn't describe it a fait accompli ... We look to keep making progress on the issues of concern to us, and want to make sure that any further steps are part of that progress.
