David Parker Quotations

The psyches of our children are not anyone's playground.

When we started completing passes and gaining confidence, they took a man out of the box on defense and that opened up our options. Our offensive line played great.

Point Beach has just gotten over that issue and is moving forward with the help of the NMC -- and now we're right back to this issue of will NMC be able to have the key managers, because nuclear management is a talent set that's quickly diminishing as a lot of managers get old.

Imagine the life of a brilliant man who can inspire others but do nothing for himself. This disease has already put him in jail.

Keeping everything as lean as possible is a good thing in the long run.

My primary focus right now is doing some kid shows.

We feel good about what we have been able to do, but we have five more games and we have a lot more work ahead of us.

We don't expect to disclose any further developments until the board of directors has approved a definitive transaction.

We can't afford to have turnovers against Raleigh. They're a good team. We have to get off to a faster start than we have been.

We are in the midst of a rapidly aging population.

This year, there will be more North Island thermal generation and less South Island hydro. But I am informed that there is a low probability of the situation becoming dire this year. So while it's possible, it's unlikely.

We will have to get over this loss (to Raleigh) and be ready to play. Newton County runs the ball really well and their defense is tough.

Tony Blair has been party to prosecuting an illegal war and it's important for people to bear witness to that.

We kind of have the same problem volleyball does in that our district is not as strong as some other districts. We have to work really hard to maintain our focus.

Profits outside of Florida were good. Inside they were pressured. We were expecting the utility to do a little better, but that's what happens when you have three-quarters of your customers out for a week or two.

That's why that merger makes so much sense.

It's a challenge. If I go in there and represent teachers, I short-change the citizens. ... It's a challenge balancing all of the interests.

The NRC likes to see players that have a fair amount of assets with very experienced nuclear management teams that are focused just on that. If you get down to being only a group of three plants, your clout or your view with the NRC is diminished.

It's something I've been hearing for the last three or four weeks.

It was nice to bring them down to earth a little bit. I think they also understand now the level they are going to have to play once we get in the playoffs.

It took a long time to get started. We had to make adjustments on defense.

Shay felt like we were ready to go. We held our composure good and didn't panic. Our defense picked up and we were able to play a lot of people.

I don't know if I'll win it, but I expect to be in the hunt. One of my best areas is off limits for this event, so we'll just have to see how it goes.
