The problem is that the Israelis were trying to squeeze Yasser Arafat, both at Camp David and here on the ground in spite of the fact that he is trying his utmost to calm the situation.

This was an equal opportunity training camp. Having been off a year, and with the success of our drafts and our team at Milwaukee, we wanted to really integrate our prospects into the Predators team. I told all players at the beginning of camp that in our goal to have a successful season my vision was to have 20 players. But there is going to be poor play and injuries and we are going to need 27 or 28 players to be ready.

To be able to come into training camp and come in focused and have a clear mind and not have to deal with issues of family back home and getting my contract done and the injuries that occurred along the way has helped me out on the field,

When you have a camp of 200 guys who are away from home and they are within walking distance to the bar and the casino, there is a potential for increased activity.

With our pre-draft camp in town and with our draft taking place less than 24 hours after an NCAA national champion is crowned, Boston will be the Mecca of women's basketball during the first week of April.

When we moved from our village, I thought this must be the end of the world for us. I have never seen so much destruction in my lifetime and I pray that nobody else will witness something similar. When my family was given a tent in the camp immediately after we arrived, I was overjoyed that there is finally going to be a roof over our heads.

We will know where they are, one way or the other, if we have to find them in a resident or give them a new address on Camp Road.

The President said at Camp David that he embraced the reform movement as described by the Prime Minister. And the President of course will speak for himself. I imagine that he supports the Prime Minister in his general efforts to reform the structure and procedures of this economy so that the economy can move forward. America prospers when Japan prospers.

Every year, I always felt that I had to make the team. I felt every training camp I had to prove myself. I never took anything for granted.

Finishing 16-0 would be a nice footnote and we're going to try to do it. But it's not the ultimate goal. We didn't go into training camp thinking of an unbeaten season.

Few of us will forget the wail of mingled grief, rage and horror which rose from the camp when the Indians returned to it and recognized their slaughtered warriors, women, and children.

We're improving, but at this stage, we need to start putting the pieces of the puzzle together. We are heading into the second half of camp which is a critical part of the development of this football team.

We see now that 85 percent of the population has access to primary healthcare services in camp settings. You see that more children are in school than ever before - something like 300,000 - and 46 percent are girls. Water supply and sanitation is something like 70 percent of the population. That is something we have never seen, and we struggled very hard to build that up.

We've been at Camp Shelby, going through basic soldiering skills, everything from throwing hand grenades to low crawling, and down the road, we'll do some ground fire exercises, we'll do some field training exercises. Those are the basic soldiering skills, but here at the airport, we're getting back to our flying and mechanic skills, which is what we will be doing overseas.

We need to go to a summit like Camp David in which the sides will have to make tough, courageous decisions.

Training camp went well for me, and I think I've gotten better in every game. It would be unfortunate if something happened to Joey, but this is football and I've played football my whole life. Yes, this is the NFL, but if you are in awe when you go out there, you won't be ready.

Training camp is definitely going to be meaningful in determining who's on our roster, ... It'll be hugely competitive, especially for spots on our blue line. And I think there will be great competition for two or three forward spots. The preseason games will be very important. There's only so much evaluation you can do in practice.

'Yes we can' always struck many as a naive and childish chant, like something ripped off from the Camp Fire Girls.

We were expecting him at the training camp in Johannesburg on Monday. When he failed to turn up we started making enquiries. Initially Baron indicated that he would arrive within 24 hours. Then came the turnaround that he was not coming at all.

We've had an ongoing relationship with the Boise community because of our training camp and our owner having businesses up here. To now have a formal affiliation with the team that allows us to have a working relationship with them, that ties it all together with what we're trying to do in developing players.

We've had a bit of luck that we've not had in the past. There's confidence in the camp and that comes about when you start winning games.

Tomas is an extremely important and valuable part of our team, and his presence will be missed. Our thoughts and support are with him as he begins the recovery process, and we are confident that he will have a complete recovery. We know what kind of a person and what kind of a competitor he is; that being said, he will do everything in his power to get back on the ice, and we look forward to seeing him in training camp this fall.

We all got emails from Norma, saying be prepared, the camp will be tough. So the party is definitely over.

W.P. Camp and Sons are excited to get to move it back.

We're supporting manufacturing boot camps, an intensive four-week instruction program that teaches basic skills to help prospective workers prepare for employment. Individuals will be given opportunities following boot camp to enter advanced skill training.

To me everybody has to share in the blame for the lack of success we had last year. The bottom line is that my job was to remove all the distractions and allow everybody to be completely focused on solely doing their job, having a great camp and getting ready for a great start. We don't dwell on last year anymore. We're excited about where we're at. To me how people respond to last year is the most important thing. I don't care about lip service. You can see the focus and the chance at redemption. Nobody wants to go through what they went through last year again.

The orientation camp will be a terrific opportunity for our staff to come together with the candidates for our Olympic team to assess the potential makeup of our squad. It will not be a tryout camp as the evaluation process will continue through the first part of the NHL season, however it will be an important first step in the process.

There is so much animosity going on because of them wanting to sell Camp Flying Eagle. And them fighting against him is just a way to add fuel to the fire. For them to sit down there and basically take our father figure away is an awful thing to do. That's when people start going bananas.

We had a good speech last year at the end of the season saying we would raise the bar, ... I think every player kind of understood that. We came to camp ready to work. I don't think there's a key somewhere where you can say, 'This is what happened.' We came in, we gained a little confidence in exhibition games. From there, we haven't stopped working hard and trying our best.

We had to hand in our workout calendars every two weeks in the summer and when we got to camp in October we were tested on the mile and a half, our agility, weight, everything,

Those positions are wide open. We have a veteran in Reese and two young kids. To me, this camp is great because guys will have to push themselves.

This was a tremendous success and we accomplished more because of this event. Camp is completed and I feel good about it.

We want to get back that good feeling that we had two years ago. It was a long summer to realize that we failed so miserably. It's nice to get back to work and give yourself and chance at redemption. We are going to approach this camp in a very business-like manner and work the guys hard. We won't be resting a lot of guys. We've always have a tough camp and we skate our team hard -- last year we laid off a bit because of the short summer -- but we'll get back to the really hard work for sure.

We just felt like last season he came into camp in decent shape, but nowhere near the condition he's in at this point. And because of what we ran last year, he was kind of a fish out of water.

Through the first six weeks of the season, Jay (Davis) was getting all the work, so (Stone) really had his training camp during the last five games.

Unbelievable year. It's like almost everybody had amazing years, including guys who weren't even in camp with the club.

To get off to a good start, we needed everybody in, including our draft picks. We wanted to get the new guys and the young guys familiar with what we are doing, ... Really, we wanted the enthusiasm taking off from where it was last year, so it was a key thing that we got everybody into camp on time.

To have him doing the things he did early in the spring, and then getting injured so early in camp I think we are all excited about adding him to the mix. He's very athletic and he can do some things out there that I think are going to help us tremendously. It's an exciting time for him to get back out there but also for us to get a gear on where he is at.

You had to unlearn all the stuff you thought you knew about basketball in '04-'05, throw all that out the window and get back to basics. It was weird because it was almost like going to a camp for nine-year-olds.

This year, coming back in great shape from the knee injury (at the end of 2004) and the competition he faced in training camp (from Ben Olson) has put him over the top. He's playing now at a level he visualized himself playing at over the summer.

What happens is in camp you can go five days and get in eight or nine practices, ... During the regular season, you might get in 21/2 practices in five days. What you miss in camp, it takes weeks to make up that time.

What a wonderful area to have this camp. The beautiful landscape, the creative visions to make this camp special and the people of the communities who have supported us and who have overwhelmingly offered their help.

Throwing mechanics, shoulder posture, my drop ? little things like that. Right now in camp it still feels like I'm confined and working on stuff. My feeling is, hey, these guys know what they're talking about. I'm buying in 100 percent to what they're saying. Don't ask questions. Come September, your mechanics will be better, you'll be a more accurate passer, and because of that your team will be better.

We were looking at the camp roster during our (team) meeting (the other) night, Joe and I, and I didn't see many guys (born) in the 1960s. There were some '80s, some '85s. You realize how much older you are, but we're definitely excited to be here and be part of this team.

We lost by a very few votes. There is a very large camp that went against the flow, against the wind, against the pressure, against the leadership and against the temptations,

We might have lost some of our most seasoned and experienced players but we have acquired some senior players too during the off-season. We have also been i9n camp for the past five to six weeks preparing for this African Safari, so I am confident that the team has great potential.

We will then determine whether the camp will be back in operation or not.

The publicity in Mexico helped investigators locate Longo at a beach camp in Tulum.

We're very pleased to have Nolan Pratt back for another season. Nolan has been a valuable member of the team and contributed significantly to our outstanding season last year. We know he will come into camp ready to battle for a spot in our top six on defense.

We know that is part of it, but we had some close games. Camp Hill almost beat us and the other night against Scotland, we had poor shooting. We were lucky to get out of there with a win.

You gotta love the names. They're so eager, earnest, and hopeful: Camp Prosperity, Camp Liberty, and Camp Victory are the names of just a few of the U.S. military bases in Baghdad.

To be honest, it seems like the decision to release me was taken way in advance. When they informed me about it, they told me a big man was what they were looking for. Had I known that before, I would have not come to training camp with the Magic. . . . I think they should have shown more respect to Felipe Lopez the person. I feel like I have been used.

To be honest, he's never really fully recovered. I think he's an unbelievable athlete and still has potential to be a very good player. But I think him missing out of camp and getting hurt right away hurt him. I think ever since then, he's kind of been playing catch-up. There's a very fine line. At some point, you have to decide what's more important.

We're devoted to giving children a chance to have a full camp experience.

We are very pleased that the Wizards did not match and that Steve Blake is now part of the Trail Blazers family, ... As we said when we signed him to the offer sheet, Steve has competed at the highest level in college culminated by his experience at Maryland and winning a National Championship. With his two seasons at Washington, he adds to the limited experience of a young team and we know he will bring additional energy and enthusiasm to our training camp

We have experienced all too often that our wounded troops suffering from severe head trauma have had to be flown to hospitals such as Brook Army Medical Center in Texas to receive specialized head and brain trauma treatment. We are proposing the privately funded construction and donation of a specialized brain trauma unit on the west coast at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, California. The Freedom Is Not Free Foundation has garnered massive support from the civilian and corporate communities for such a site and we will be presenting our proposal for a Private Sector/Government funded partnership to make sure this project comes to fruition.

Before leaving camp in 1902 we were already at work on the general design of a new machine which we proposed to propel with a motor.

Between then and now, the amount of material has grown in huge measure. This is a huge amount of documentation, none of which has been seriously researched before. What's really being talked about is the massive potential addition to what we know and what we are able to learn, not just the way individuals were treated, but about the concentration camp system, how forced and slave labor worked, about the experiences of people who survived.

Bill Taylor and I have been friends a long time, and our dads were good friends, ... We were at squirrel camp that year, and Bill asked me if I wanted to try it (coaching).

Big Shane has worked hard this summer and you can see so much improvement in the way he moves. He's done some good things in camp and learned the offense, and we're sort of just looking for him to take that next step to where he can be a major contributor for us. He'll absolutely get on the field.

Every little kid sits in the sandlot playing with his friends and wanting to be an NFL quarterback. That's what this training camp was about, and that's what this season will be about -- just going out there and going for it. I know getting here hasn't been easy, but looking back, I wouldn't have it any other way.

As soon as I was able, we returned to our camp at the ferry. I had to ride on horseback and suffered most excruciating pain during the journey.

At the camp I had experience coaching team tennis.

Don't get me wrong, this camp wasn't easy by any means, but the 2-to-1 practice schedule really helps your body,

Conventional wisdom may be upside-down. The economy is always an issue, but I think . . . it has to be viewed in different terms. The Gore camp will try to take credit for the economy. I don't think the voters see it that way.

And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

Entering training camp we were supposed to be the worst.

Drew has played all the way through, from training camp to (the OSU game),

Dwight, ... he was talking during training camp about his PlayStation 2, I mentioned something to him about Atari, and he had never heard of Atari. He didn't know what that was. So, it's just different generations.

Each camp is different. Some are hiring three or four people, while others need 30.

Erik Adams is probably one of our most improved players from the start of camp to where we are today. He's heavily relied upon. He's been a real anchor for our back end, and he ads an offensive threat as well.

Essentially, the whole process, I don't want to have any regrets. A year ago I wasn't even in my first camp and now to be part of the mix is something I'm proud of. I'm just going to go out there and have no regrets and see what happens.

(First win) feels good for the kids. We had a tough loss last week that could have gone either way. It's been a hard camp for the kids and they deserve to get one win.

Except for one bad decision, I had a model career here. Now they (his ex-Blue Hen teammates) are going into (preseason) camp and what can I do? It's a done deal.

There was a lot of discussion about the ramifications of his dismissal. It was determined his dismissal would incite the larger issue of preserving Camp Flying Eagle for our community.

There was a dramatic shift back home in the peace camp in the last 24 hours, ... People who were angry at me are now realizing what the real alternative is and are coming back in tens and thousands every hour.

There's no reason for me to go into a big dissertation about why I'm not getting the calls. The refs have to do their jobs as well. I even mentioned it in training camp to the refs when we had our little meeting.

There's no beef between us, ... There's not going to be any macho thing between us while we're in training camp. We're just coming into training camp trying to make our team better.

There's no way they can create a trailer camp for all those people.

I started thinking about this camp as soon as last year's was over. Going to your first camp is tough, and the injury made it even tougher. But I learned how to prepare myself and what was expected of me. I can do all the things that are necessary. I just have to show I can do it night in and night out.
