Major urban centers like Sacramento, like Los Angeles, remain protected only at the margin. Engineers and scientists have got to be fully involved in this decision process, this political process.

Ultimately, this will be a financial decision. Do we move all operations to Pittsburgh, (because) the Phoenix center is not big enough so we might have to purchase land. Or do we look at a third location. Eventually, we will concentrate the centers.

Ultimately, the teams will help us to develop a truly compelling design for the World Trade Center site -- a grand and majestic vision that inspires awe while respectfully memorializing the lives lost on September 11th. And I promise you this: it will be glorious.

Ultimately it is our objective to provide a language-specific development center for every language that matters. It's just a matter of which ones we get to first.

So many homes, apartment buildings and shopping centers have been built in this part of the country that haven't been tested by a big storm. Now we're going to see just how good this construction has been.

Given that, and assuming that we begin to adjust to issues like climate change and the greenhouse effect, Denver's location in the center of the country becomes a tremendous advantage.
