He?s surpassed [my expectations] by a large margin. Carl?s the type of kid who?s going to battle for you. He?s going to keep you in the game and he?s going to throw strikes, and that?s the biggest key to him. He?s thrown several games where his pitch count?s been real low. You don?t have to worry about four, five, six walks a game.

We have high expectations. The sky is the limit.

Overall, we were comfortable the quarter, although some other people had different expectations.

If the rate expectations continue to come down, Hong Kong, as an interest rate sensitive market will likely benefit. Moreover, if the interest rate expectations drop, the U.S, growth expectations will also taper off. This will also encourage money to flow from the growth sensitive markets, notably Korea and Taiwan. Hong Kong will be an idea destination.

We just provide the stage. When I was a kid, everybody wanted to start their own newspaper. I think that parallels what [Wolfman] is doing.

You need a steady crowd to keep the place open. Believe it or not, a lot of them listen to [the bands].
