Famous quotes by John Gage:
"We had hoped that Judge Collyer's decision would bring all parties involved to the bargaining table."
"The historical society was a bit upset that they were demolishing the original building but they (the home owners) had been making ongoing renovations and they just weren't going to be able to bring that building up to code. For obvious safety reasons, nursing homes can't be wooden structures anymore; they must be built with steel construction. Because of that, as well as many other reasons, the two eventually made an agreement that they would design the new building to have many similar features of the original mansion and then the original would be destroyed. If you look at some of the old pictures I really think that they achieved what they had wanted to do."
"In 1997 alone we went from a 65-bed facility to a 120-bed home."
"We are definitely one of the bigger employers in Coventry. We have someone for everything - med techs, nurses, food service and social workers."
"[The American Federation of Government Employees, one of the other unions suing DHS, said the department also did not consult them in making the proposed adjustments.] The first time around, DHS and [the Office of Personnel Management] decided not to listen to what we had to say, ... You think they would have learned their lesson, but I guess not."
"With all the businesses of the world together we can link all of the poor countries, the schools, hospitals and health clinics of the poor countries and get them all on the Net. That helps enormously, for example, in sending information about AIDS."
"In this last year for the first time you had agreement amongst all the poor countries that Internet and IT is a fundamental component of development. Two or three years ago you would go to a meeting and people would say: 'We don't even have clean water, how can we even think about IT,'"
"The PlayStation, $300 with a DVD-player and it runs Linux and Java, it's huge. Why would you ever put a PC someplace? It breaks all the time. You would spend more time fixing it than teaching (how to use it). These things (the PlayStation consoles) are designed for 12-year-olds and are really powerful."
"I can plug in a 80 gigabyte disk and store 16 hours of video on it or up to 500 hours of audio. Now we attach it to a free satellite, slow, trickle charge. We can put anything on the disk you want to know about clean water, latrines and do it in whatever language."
"We will use anything that can carry IP packets to get to the poor countries. You can modulate the radio and TV frequencies, use telephone lines or have packets come down via satellite. The Globalstar idea is the result of a conversation in the last week. We're trying to establish the technical feasibility. Can we do all this? The answer is yes. But then, the devil is in the details,"
