Unfortunately, illegal events of March 14, 2005, and thereafter have caused that number to be reduced.

We also had the tragic events of September 11th, and I know for everyone that's caused us to step back, think about our priorities. It's a tragedy that affects us personally and affects our businesses. For the computer industry in particular, I think it highlights the importance of security, giving that far more importance than we've had in the past. We don't want our digital systems to have weaknesses that allow for tragedies, exploiting the weaknesses that are there. And so there's a renewed sense of focus on that.

It's been an excellent relationship for us. Their events are doing very well for us. When you go to a lot of these events it is a lot of families with two or three kids.

As the largest horse sale in the West, while it may be costly to us to postpone our events, it will be beneficial to you, our consignors and our buyers, to have the confidence in the health and safety of your animals.

There are national meets like the Penn Relays in track that have events on Sundays. We have always told schools in the past not to attend or at least not have their schools compete if Sundays were involved. But we're only looking at (allowing) this on a national level.

A journalist is basically a chronicler, not an interpreter of events. Where else in society do you have the license to eavesdrop on so many different conversations as you have in journalism? Where else can you delve into the life of our times? I consider myself a fortunate man to have a forum for my curiosity.
