The talks were cordial and informative, but revealed that there remain significant differences that need to be discussed and resolved by the parties,

The talks went off in a very cordial atmosphere, ... good.

I remain optimistic for two reasons. One is it's not as if we haven't done anything to date. We have done a lot of the work that needs to be done in these types of negotiations. I also believe there is an understanding on the other side with respect to the issues that are facing the game. The only thing we need to get our arms around and come to an agreement on, and I'm not going to suggest it's insignificant, is what's the proper way to resolve these issues.

The talks are amicable, and that?s always a good thing in terms of getting things resolved.

Because seniors have the differences with metabolism changing, bone density, decreasing muscle tone, these (informative talks) are all different things that center around keeping the bones and muscles healthy.

Talks are serious, but until financial plans are discussed, it's preliminary.
