“Seeing we have a relatively young staff and young team, hopefully I can get us off to a good start and take some of the leadership role. I am not a big vocal guy, never have been. I like to lead by example. I would like to give us a good example to go by.”

“We are very sorry to see David go and we will miss him. But he's not leaving us high and dry. The turnaround plan is in motion. David has done a lot of the heavy lifting. It's through his leadership that we did the cost-cutting and the financial planning that we need to right our ship. That's a credit to him.”

“[For the settler movement, it has been a historic defeat.] It was a blow, in the sense that they failed to frighten off the government, and it was proven that it could be done, ... They are also facing a deep theological crisis, because their rabbinical leadership made very messianic and irresponsible promises about how it would not happen and were proven wrong. They've had a really lethal clash with reality.”

“Innovation and new ventures fuel the global economy but the spark comes from investment. Investment is about trust. It's about knowing that the people investors entrust with their money are running ethical, transparent and effective businesses. Stanford Law School has a demonstrated track record of leadership in the field of corporate governance. We are pleased to support their efforts.”

“We've got to look at what Georgia did and what led to a successful decision there. The one thing about our leadership in Texas — Gov. Perry and some others — they don't necessarily put the most money on the table, because we pride ourselves here in this state on having other competitive factors that make a company choose Texas.”

“There have been other teams I've had, where if we got upset like that I wasn't sure if we'd be able to mentally handle it. But I never felt that way about this group, even when we lost to Holy Cross. We've got great senior leadership and kids that just go out and play.”

“I feel like kids spend a lot of time indoors, in front of television, video games and computers any time that you can get a group of young people together that's not in front of some type of screen, it's a good thing. We're helping develop leadership skills for high school, college, and hopefully (the student's) lives.”

“I can't remember the last time that we didn't have an All-Conference player returning. We've also lost the middle of our lineup. But the good news is that our defense will be solid. We have some returning seniors to provide leadership and we have good freshman players who will push the regulars for playing time.”

“Today, we simply lost focus. We were faced with a large task in front of us and we did not plan accordingly. Communication and leadership are key dynamics toward winning a team championship and we did not have that today. Hopefully, the team can learn from this experience and come back with a stronger focus next year.”

“None of Congressman Fitzpatrick's statements about why he voted to support CAFTA make sense. His constituents deserve a straight answer even if it is an admission that he does not have the backbone to stand up to what everyone knows was extreme pressure by the Republican leadership to do as they ordered rather than what Fitzpatrick believed or promised.”
