Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Donte' Stallworth

Other than us staying here for a while, I don't even see myself as a victim because there are people who have lost family members, have lost everything they worked for in life and don't know when they're going to get their next meal or their next bottle of water. It's easy for me to stay focused knowing that those people are the ones who are struggling and not me. I've been blessed enough to be able to get out of there and get some of my things out of there.

Picture Muslims, Christians and Jews, Palestinians, Israelis, Jordanians and Americans, all in a living room listening to each other, sharing hurts and hopes, and blessing one another.

Joe Kennedy

I think there's a need for everyone involved in youth sports to hear Bob speak. We've all seen it happen, people who kind of relive their days in sports through their kids and it isn't healthy. Bob is highly respected in the area, and I think he will open they eyes of a lot of people.

Colin Clarke

Just having a look at some different options. Steve played out there (at right back) in L.A. and did a good job and he did a good job tonight. I thought Bobby was great in front of him, he could have scored another two or three he got forward well. It's a more solid look, just to have a look at it going into the playoffs and just open our options up.

David Perno

That was a good effort all the way around. Gentry got a good break on it and I thought he was going to make a great play, but Bobby was running right out of the box. If he's not hustling right out of the box, he doesn't make that happen.

Overall, the moderate-priced stores such as J.C. Penney, Sears and Wal-Mart had good traffic levels.

Lee Salem

Our only regret is that it didn't last longer. That was Bill's decision.
