Today was a good day for resuming the dialogue and discussion that forms part of the NATO-Russia relationship, ... We've moved from permafrost into slightly softer ground.

Yes, of course it would because there would be no veto over NATO operations by Russia or any other non-NATO members, that's never been the situation and Mr Putin has made it clear that he does not want it either,

At the end of the day, you've got to feel wanted and we certainly felt that today in Virginia from the governor on down.

A real political opposition was born today in Russia.

When we have the opportunity, like on a bluebird day like today - we get out and try to take advantage of everything that Vail and the mountain and town have to offer.

Today is the last day of the first half so I think window dressing by fund managers wanting to make their portfolios look good will keep the index above 16,000.
