Port Quotations | Page 3

It would be a shame not to have an aircraft carrier because we know the public looks forward to seeing them come and the sailors being able to enjoy the sights of Broward County.

The six countries are now on the same boat heading to the same designated port and no country should fall back, and even one straggler will get us nowhere

The SSL blind spot and wide open door of port 443 on the firewall is yet another example of why enterprises should not allow users to connect directly to the Internet without going through a proxy. The Internet brings tremendous value, but it can also be a cesspool, introducing significant security risks to the business. With our new SSL proxy functionality, Blue Coat can close a major security hole for enterprises.

The three favorites of the district, as I was told when I took the job, are Venice, Port Charlotte and Lakewood Ranch.

People do role play, but a lot of real-world behaviors, market pressures and social pressures port over very quickly.

North Port has an extra unique area here.

Advertising has been effective. When we go to conferences, the port is well-known and we are sought out because they have seen our growth.

Sounds like they're going after the container operations. So it wouldn't affect us at Port Canaveral. We're not in the container business. We don't stuff our exports into containers. We just load oranges, juices, and grapefruits and cars right onto the freighters. And our security procedures here are excellent.

DP World's offer recognizes that P&O is a unique brand with an exceptional footprint of international port assets,

The bottom line is, 'Who makes the best software?' ... If there are no compelling titles for the X-Box, then people won't buy it. What Microsoft needs to do is come up with some killer games. If companies just port existing titles over to the X-Box, then it's not going to work.

The broader question still exists. What will happen with those 623 jobs at the port if the Port Authority's current policy is maintained?

That's what we're hoping to do. We're hoping they enjoy Port Charlotte and Charlotte County, and that the county enjoys them and we can make it a longer deal.

YTI is showing the way for all of the Port of Los Angeles' terminal operators. We applaud YTI's leadership and expect that this is but the first of a wave of cleaner air conversion projects that will sweep the port.

You're going to have containers coming from every terminal, not just the Port of Los Angeles but the Port of Long Beach, ... I think maglev would really be pushing it.

This is a smart approach to managing rail capacity at a time of substantial growth in Canada's trade volumes with Pacific Rim countries. It will enhance the fluidity and capacity of both railroads in Vancouver and deliver better service to our port and terminal partners, while ensuring healthy rail competition between CN and CPR is maintained at the Port of Vancouver.

This is a place to hold conversations. We had eight or 10 people in here for New Year's, drinking port and smoking cigars.

The West Coast Port data suggest underlying trade volumes will provide a decent offsetting boost to the U.S. trade picture, with...U.S. exports outperforming in December.

This company buys P&O. That doesn't mean that down the road, next month or two years from now, that this port right here is going to become a section of a P&O port.

This calls port security into focus again. We have to meet federal mandates and state mandates. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the security budget has increased drastically.

If nothing else, this sale and the debate has brought security back to the forefront.

Thirty percent of the port is no longer in existence as we knew it Aug. 28.

This is a case where we were arguing about the wrong part of the problem. Americans were shocked to learn that the vast majority of port operations in this country are handled by foreign firms. But transportation is a global network, and we're not going to own all of it.

They're still moving sugar off the port so we're keeping our fingers crossed. All parties involved are working together to get the sugar off the port, however not as fast as we would have hoped.

This port has real possibilities, if we redevelop it and market it the right way, ... Many cars go by on that highway. We need to give them a reason to stop and spend time with us.

There's a lot of fat in the current budget. I voted no on this highway bill that everybody has talked about. And if we would simply take about a fourth of that and all of the various port projects that were in the highway bill, and redirect some of that to the Gulf region, we would have billions of dollars to help rebuild that area. ...

There'll be no congestion at the port or on the network. The potential growth opportunities are immense.

It's not just a lack of preparedness. I think the easy answer is to say that these are poor people and black people and so the government doesn't give a damn. That's OK, and there might be some truth to that. But I think we've got to see this as a serious problem of the long-term neglect of an environmental system on which our nation depends. All the grain that's grown in Iowa and Illinois, and the huge industrial output of the Midwest has to come down the Mississippi River, and there has to be a port to handle it, to keep a functioning economy in the United States of America.

It's like being on Western Port Bay on a cold summer's afternoon. There's no one here. It's eerie.

The biggest impact may be damage to the port facilities south of New Orleans. We have no way of knowing now how badly they are damaged.

The administration will take this charge very seriously. We have heard very clearly the concerns raised in Congress and in some of the port authorities. We will look at that transaction in that light.

It's happening in North Port because there's a lot of new construction going on. It's going to happen there for a while until there is in-fill or more neighborhoods.

It seems almost as if a nuclear weapon went off in New Orleans, ... The displacement of the population is the crisis that New Orleans faces. . . . The physical and business processes of a port cannot occur in a ghost town, and right now, that is what New Orleans is.

It was not a pretty game and North Port did a good job of taking the hand that was dealt to them and getting the job done.

I've had a very interesting career with the Port of Los Angeles. Our security forces have never been better, our relationships with other law enforcement agencies never healthier, and we are growing a stronger team every day. I am gratified that our efforts have resulted in a world-class police department, and I will miss these officers greatly.

It's very sad that the city and Port Authority care more about real estate than finding ways to work with the companies who are being damaged by this mishandling of maritime commerce.

I view this vote as a strong signal from the town council of Port Deposit as to the seriousness of future business development. I applaud their commitment.

It takes us an hour and a half to get to Sarasota and Bradenton, and you can add 15-20 minutes more with the traffic. A team in Port Charlotte would be perfect.

It will be flown to Port Alberni airport where we'll have it prepared for shipment to Vancouver by truck.

It was just a start to a great season. Everyone is welcome to come out and watch all of these future stars. And, I just want to say that the Port St. John Little League wouldn't be as great as it is without the help of all of our volunteers.

They can encourage residents to not go to the Treasure Coast mall all they want. That whole attitude just goes to show the immaturity. I'm saying this with the utmost respect. That's just not the answer. I don't understand why they don't want to play in the sand box. Port St. Lucie is not an island.

Anyone looking for a definition of the pre-9/11 world view need look no further than at how leading Republican senators have blocked Democratic efforts improve port security since the 2001 attacks.

Serbia produces wheat and so - understandably - they want to protect their farmers from imports of cheap wheat and bread. But we have our own port and think that we should give our people the cheapest prices for bread, no matter where we import it from.

The interest (in South Carolina ports) is from Jasper, the port community and the people of Georgia, ... It's not that important to the people of South Carolina across the board. That's probably why you see (Sanford) less engaged.

I'm hoping that the public and the system will learn how unprepared the City of New York and the Port Authority were on that day.

I'm completely unsatisfied with the way we represented North Port High School. That's it.

If San Diego wants to be a destination, they have to have more than one place to have meetings. Spreading the wealth to other cities is something the port feels strongly about.

If you pulled the foreign shipping companies out of this port or any port, I don't know what we would do. It's as international a business as you can put your hands on.
