One reason I went was to ensure the safety of Shane, and two, was to dispel the lies, and those are the lies. In my opinion, everything she [Judi] says about Michael acting out of character - about him being rude, lazy, drunk - is untrue.

The reason that he [Shane] is here is that his father's not. How do you balance that? There's no answers. Michael didn't die of a car accident. He didn't have cancer. There's no logical reason that he's not here right now.

We're tickled that we have him here, but it's quite short-lived. It's very different because we have Shane but we don't have Michael. You try to be happy for everyone around you because it's Christmas and you're opening presents, but you're angry because Michael is not here. Or anywhere.

What we're looking for is to see if there are any safety issues that the FAA needs to address through some sort of action. Right now, it's too premature to speculate on any cause of action or the cause of the accidents.

Public safety remains our principal interest. The Army has demonstrated since 1990 that it can safely destroy these chemical munitions, having already destroyed over 8,000 tons of chemical agent and over 1.3 million munitions without harming human health or the environment.

Assuming markets behave reasonably well in 2006, I would expect there is no reason we couldn't grow operating earnings in double digits.
