Jim Fitzpatrick Quotations

There is no medical or scientific evidence that Vioxx contributed to Mr. Humeston's heart attack.

On the candidate side, we get very little error or people calling in with questions.

Just get the job done. We lost a tough one to them last year and we wanted this one badly.

I saw it and others did, too. We kept it quiet for about a year so money could be raised to purchase land that The Nature Conservancy could manage.

Our guys played hard. I love coaching in these kind of games where the players show the effort and the team never quits. The defense played incredible, they held tough.

Limited release movies just don't draw very big business unless they get acclaim from the Academy or the Golden Globes. We use this whole Golden Globes and Academy Awards to try to get some of these movies that don't do any business to get some business.

It doesn't change our strategy whatsoever. It's an observational study, where you're just looking back into a database. That's very different and less reliable scientifically than when you look at clinical trials. The clinical trial data has been consistent in showing that there's no increased health risk in short-term use.

We do think it's relevant information the jury should be allowed to hear.

Typically, the time-consuming part of filling vacancies is advertising, then waiting for everybody to get their full complement of documents in ... then sorting through all of it and contacting people.

We work on it every day in practice, on goal-line (defense). It is the best experience in the world when you can look in each other?s eyes and stick it out together, You crack a joke in the huddle and get the job done.

We've been working very closely with the neighbors and county to make sure the changes are completed on time. We are committed to honoring the commitments we made.

We don't ban anything. We try to get our hands on everything we can. I keep hearing people say that Kirksville won't play it because they don't like gays, but we brought 'Rent' into town.

What the e-mail referred to is that if you compare Vioxx to a traditional pain reliever, you'll see a difference in clotting events. What he meant was that a misinterpretation of that difference would kill the drug, ... That e-mail was speculating that people would misinterpret it (the trial) as being a problem with Vioxx.

Employers can use the system to correspond with candidates, so they can schedule interviews and send out rejection letters. Candidates are informed as soon as their application has been received, and then again as soon as it's being reviewed.

There is nothing worse for a defense than to be pushed around on the first drive.

It's exciting to take an idea, turn it into a company and have it succeed the way it has. And now we're looking at ways to make it applicable and useful outside of Vermont.

It was exciting and humbling to see the bird. It gives the birding world a glimmer of hope. It may still be a biological dead end. There may not be enough of a gene pool left, maybe only two or three pairs of birds.

That is just the way the industry works. There are certain kinds of movies that will do business in some towns more than others.

I'm sure I'm thinking the same thing every city and government employee in the country is thinking. Who's next?

Certainly, this case is an important case, but so are all of our cases. The verdict here is important, but it's one case and we're taking them one at a time.

The evidence will show that Mr. Humeston's myocardial infarction didn't have anything to do with Vioxx,

The clinical study Merck conducted that lead it to voluntarily withdraw the drug only revealed an increased risk after 18 months of daily use. Mr. Humeston only took Vioxx intermittently for less than two months. The science just isn't there to support his claim.

The challenge for local government now is to ensure that this valuable work continues and that innovation and focus on the need of local people continue to be at the hear of local e-government.
