Board Quotations | Page 7

I think the Federal Reserve Board acted properly and left the window open for lower interest rates, which will please the market.

I think the board will adopt these amendments within the next month,

I think the board needs to step up and say, we need to look at it a lot more our own and decide what schools we think they need to be in. The last thing I want to do is to have to explain to a parent in Richmond that there child's been injured or killed because of neglect on part of the school system.

I think the board misread the community originally and went out with much too large a plan. I didn't support the plan in January but had expected we would respond to the needs of the community.

I think the board feels that a competition gym meets the needs of the district for a little extra money ... basically upgrading what we have in the plan.

I think the board decided tonight it's time to move forward.

I think the board as a whole is pleased with the superintendent.

I think the board appropriately realized what the problems were with their policies and practices ...

I think the board and the school are really wanting not to forgo the historic mission, which is to train Christian leaders, but also to prepare students to carry out their ministry in the context of the world as it is today and to prepare them for contemporary situations.

I think the board and the district have lost 90 precious days of progress in solving the problem of growth in this community.

I think the contract started out at maybe $500,000, and they had a change order to get it to $700,000, but they ended up paying like $1 million, and there was no evidence of any other change orders or any other board approval for that last change.

It is getting harder and harder to win in this league with just local talent. When I first came on board we had a pretty easy go, especially in 1999 when we were always one of the top two or three teams in the league.

It is great news to have Ian on board for another month,

Lack of trust between board and superintendent continues to stymie progress.

I thought we had enough guys on the bench to win this game. We just got lackadaisical and the zone caught us. We have to go back to the drawing board and work against the zone.

I thought we had a very solid game across the board this evening. Barksdale had two beautiful goals that she headed from Sarah.

I thought we'd play our best game (Sunday) - instead we played our worst. (Afterward in the locker room), I just wrote the stats on the board and let them stare at them awhile.

I thought we discussed wages and COLAs in our closed session and the board established bargaining guidelines last week. I'm somewhat at a loss that this is a continuing discussion.

I thought we left a lot of points on the board in the first half, because we had 11 turnovers and we were shooting 52 or 53 percent from the field. Second half we only turned it over three times and we shot 52 percent from the field and that's why we had a 52-point half.

I thought they (the board members) did an excellent job of making sure all four schools got something. I thought they handled it well.

I thought that was big for us. There's nothing like putting some runs across the board early. It gave the team a lift and I'm sure it relaxed our young pitchers some too.

I think we really got our running game going. Once we start running, we can really put a lot of points on the board quickly.

I think we're getting better and better. The first game, we got crushed. Last game against Butte we tied and this one we won. Best yet, we kept them off the board and got a shutout.

I think we'll have to see where the board of trustees wants to go.

I think we now have the strongest, most intelligent board we've ever had. To be a trustee, it takes intelligence, but even more, it takes dedication and hard work.

I think we have some traction here. Businesses, once we get through this, will come back on board and we'll see some solid growth.

I think we have some capable batters. I think the youngsters are looking to put their stakes on the table, in terms of getting themselves permanent into the Jamaica team and looking to make themselves available for West Indies' selection. And having said that we have Marlon Samuels, who is a senior campaigner, and we are looking to make sure that we lead from the front and put our (big) totals on the board more often than not, and try and restrict the opposition as quickly as possible and execute efficiently.

I think we will be number three (after the merger with Equitable PCI). We're hoping to get an answer from Equitable PCI board before the end of this month.

I think we're up for it, ... This board takes its role very seriously.

I think we've seen the easiest it has to offer. I would hope they don't look at a couple of red numbers on the board and flip out tonight.

I think what we're seeing is a much tighter holding on spending than we would have expected, ... It's really a general tightening that we've seen across the board that's been commensurate with releases we've seen in that time period.

I think what's happening is exactly what the Federal Reserve Board wanted to happen. They wanted to change their bias from neutral to tightening to slow down the markets - and that is what's happening today.

I think that as I've asked the stock exchange several months ago, they're taking a good, hard look at the way their board is organized, I hope the way the compensation structure is organized, ... We'll see what they come up with.

I think what you'll see with York on board is a greater sense of urgency to drive changes and accelerate restructuring actions.

I think both the 5th Circuit and the parole board have been misled by something state keeps saying, proving that if you say something over and over again, even if it's not true, people will believe it.

I think big issue in campaign is, are you going to be a school board member responsive to the people who elected you, and are you going to lead?

I think at this point we're waiting for the National Transportation Safety Board report. After that, there's an issue I think regarding the pump on the boat. That may lead to additional defendants.

I think ASU has done everything it can. Now, it's a matter of changing Board of Regents policy and Arizona state law.

I think it's the perfect time for her (Dillon) to come on board and take 'I'm lovin it' to the next level.

I think it's rotten. I think several members will resign. I've been on the board for 30 years. If this is the way they want to treat people, I want no part of it.

I think this board is extending itself so the public does know what we are doing.

I think under other circumstances it's possible this is something the board might have overlooked,

I think that the county, be it the Planning Commission, the administration or the Board of Supervisors, want to maintain the character of Goochland. In half a century, Goochland is going to look a whole lot different than it does today.

I think that the Board of Education ought to revisit this issue,

It is not the role of the Planning Board to design the project. It is not the role of the Planning Board to supervise construction.

It is not that (the committee was) recommending it. We were just saying that if the board is going to consider it, now is the time to do it.

It is now going to be a statewide board for a school with a statewide mission.

It is not enough to change our investment opinions, but is a negative in the tally board of pros and cons as we begin to focus on Christmas 2006.

I think that's what encouraged the Board of Governors to ask to have a committee formed.

I think that what it says is from an external point of view, from a national stage, we're being recognized for excellence in what we're doing. When I first came on board with the CU College of Music in fall of 1999, one of the things I had hoped to see was some recognition at some point from these national awards. And for us to have had the 13 in five years has exceeded my expectations, but I think clearly represents the great work the students and faculty are doing.

It is just like a bulletin board to the world.

It is hard to keep the other guys off the board all night. He controlled the game, and for a guy his age, you just have to bow your head in appreciation.

It is more than apparent that the government somehow blames and refuses to properly endorse Mr. Fortier due to the government's lack of success across the board in the second bombing trial against Terry Nichols.

It is important because it has included important new findings, new scientific information that will not only help California policy makers but will help those across the United States address this issue. And, as I think some board members mentioned, this impact on the international community could be very helpful.

It is just a really great fiction series that caught the imagination of the nation. And now others are getting on board and want a piece of its success.

It is just an effort to increase and improve customer service within DOE, both in administrative office and at schools, that is consistent with Board of Education policy on user-friendly schools.

It is my understanding from what was said is that the board may be considering letting this year's fourth graders go next year because they already have the funds.

I think we're just playing the ultimate team game and so everybody has to be on board. Specifically, the quarterback has to be on board because that's kind of the straw that stirs the drink, if you will. You have to feel that, it has to be ringing through. I didn't quite get it.

I was worried that people out here would be so jaded that they wouldn't get the 'lifelong quest' aspect. But the response across the board has been that people say they've been inspired to follow their own dreams.

I was working overtime to get this permitting done. I'm a little concerned and disappointed the board wasn't notified of these problems sooner. There may have been some other options that could've been explored. With other people's ideas, maybe something could've been done to expedite the process.

I went nuts. I went to the school board and told them they couldn't can't refuse this, we've gone this far.

I was watching him hit a few drives in front of me and I said, 'Boy, he's swinging good,' ... And I go out there and look on the board and say, 'Oh, yeah, he's scoring good, too.'

I was walking across the street. I looked and I seen the board was down. I looked into the window, but I smelled gas.

I will do anything in my power as a member of the board to get an Applebee's here.

I will report back to the board as soon as possible. I'm not in a hurry to rush this. At the same time, I don't see any reason to delay a report for any reason whatsoever. I think the key is a thorough investigation.

I was just trying to get on the board with this offense. They shut us down pretty much in the first half, but right before halftime we were able to get outside on the quick pitch and coordinated that into the second half.

I think the most encouraging part of what they're doing is that they have had now a certain amount of incremental time since Allen came on board to upgrade the executive suite, so to speak. The people are very experienced people that have a better sense of how a centrally managed business works.

I think the message that Honeywell's board is sending is that they believe a change in leadership is needed to get Honeywell back on the right track as an independent company going forward, ... The board is not necessarily putting Honeywell on the block or keeping it on the block. That's a very different expectation than current consensus on Wall Street.

I think the message from the board ... was very clear,

It is a very, very important deal. But there are other countries represented on the World Bank board in particular and they need to support it too.

It is a public company, and its board is meeting (Thursday) to approve the project.

It is an honor to have Tom Daschle join our Board. We will benefit tremendously from Tom's insight and experience with economic issues, international affairs and other issues. He will be an asset to our Board as we continue to grow our real estate services franchise on a global basis.

It is an honor to have been elected to the MPA board of directors. This allows me the opportunity to be a part of continuing the tradition of newspaper excellence in Missouri.

It is back to the drawing board for Hart,

I think there were two things that happened as to why we are back and we got the dates that we wanted. That's the history of this great tournament.... And the other one is they got a clear picture of our board and they understand that we've now got, if not the best board on tour, one of the best.

I think there is a certain amount of frustration that's set in because it's dragged on into today. I think it's fair to say there is a frustration level that's setting in. The issues still on the board are the thorniest ones.

I think the results of the team are indicative of decisions that were made by the board two years ago.

I think the reason the board of directors wants to encourage and motivate our students by offering them a scholarship at an early age is so their families can start to think about preparing, attending and paying for college.

I think there are some things that are going to have to be decided, ... One of the biggest concerns as far as fair board is concerned is a way to communicate across the grounds.

Just because we are going through this financial situation, does not mean Trumbull Memorial is not going to continue this building project and purchasing state-of-the-art technology needed to provide state-of-the-art care for our patients. Our board is committed to enhancing the level of care available to this community.

Just athletically, Western couldn't mat up across the board with Amherst.

Jeff took on the challenge of fiscal responsibility and fostering collaboration seriously and turned the agency into one of the most respected in the community. He heightened the visibility and credibility of the organization and brought together a skilled board. Jeff and the board are like family. We as a board have so much respect and gratitude for what Jeff has done.

Jeff joined the board at a pivotal point in our company. Through his leadership and valued advice, Jeff made a significant contribution to Website Pros.

Jeff is a well-respected member of the community and will be of great assistance to the board and Connie in the future.

Jerry is a very competent guy and somebody who has very deep knowledge in the business. He could be exactly the kind of board member GM needs.

Jimmy came up big with that double. That play was huge, it put numbers on the board for us.

J.C. Penney is one of the legendary names in American retailing, and I am honored to be part of this great company. I have met with members of the board and top management, and we are all enthusiastic about what we can achieve together. The desire to succeed is extremely strong here, and I am pleased to have been given he opportunity to lead the company.

I saw the replay on the board and from what you see it looks like he took it down and put the ball back into the net. The explanation was that it was a deliberate handball.

I say I just happen to be gay. It's just like everything else - I've been on the board of The Humane Society, and I'm a vegetarian, but these are just some of the things that define me as a person. They don't define me in general.

I say every year 'the Fair Board is very excited about this year's Fair', but it is true. We really are excited about every Fair. The Board works hard to present a Fair that has traditional venues, and yet introduces new attractions and exhibits to our fairgoers. Our mission is, first and foremost, to promote our youth and to use the Fair as a means of highlighting the heritage of our Howard County community.

Irvin has a broad taste. That's why he had all those (vocalist) girls. He had everybody, man. It was across the board and I think that's what we shared, that diversified taste.

Irrespective of market conditions, the board looks forward to another year of continued progress in 2006.

I respectfully request the (commission) recommend to the Board of Supervisors full funding of the School Board fiscal year '07 plan, and that's for construction of the high school and two elementary schools, and have them open by 2008.

Iron County's getting one heck of a deal for $15,000. I think the (Gogebic) board would be happy to get animal control for $15,000 a year.

I reminded the board that that's what you do. You save taxpayer money by letting businesses bid on this.

People are buying the U.S. dollar across the board on expectation of further rate hikes. Rate expectations in Canada have come down. You will see more U.S. dollar strength on the yield gap.

Our guys across the board are leaner, stronger and bigger. Our 40 times are lower. I'm convinced from top to bottom that we're a more athletic Division I-type of team.

Our guess is, it means the board of Time Warner has decided definitively to sell a piece of AOL, and that has upset Steve Case.

Pakistan's view is clear, we don't support this tournament and from our talks with the Indians we know they share our views. We will be conveying our views clearly at the ICC executive board meeting next month.
