This is a true positive from a very unfortunate natural disaster.

It's unfortunate I got personal with Ed. I'm not proud of that fact. Originally, all I was trying to do was motion Ed off because I knew there was going to be a problem. I knew somebody was going to be ejected, I had no idea it was going to be me. One thing led to another.

One of the unfortunate things about the Internet is it has made everyone gratification-happy instantaneously. But we are not going to be able to get this done in Internet time.

CONSOLATION, n. The knowledge that a better man is more unfortunate than yourself.

Ambrose Bierce

It's a very unfortunate and difficult situation we're in. We've given them information. We've talked to them. Local leaders have approached them to mediate this. We've done everything to avoid litigation.

Ruth Griffin

Kathleen Dunleavy

We just have to get out there and play hard like we have all year. It's been unfortunate some weeks for us. But we still have a chance.

Willie Roaf

These were crimes that upset the community, ... There was pressure to solve them and there were, I think, 'unfortunate' eyewitness techniques used.

Barry Scheck

At a time when our party should be providing forward-thinking leadership on energy, it is truly unfortunate that some choose instead to exploit current events and perpetuate America's dangerous dependence on oil.

David Jenkins

There was a 16-year-old arrested which was really unfortunate, but it was not what we expected for a holiday weekend.

John Manley

Mrs. Neel is in the unfortunate position of being the mother of the victim and the mother of the defendant, ... It was a factor. It was her wish that he not serve a life sentence.

John Peck

It's quite a job shift, but I guess after the dot-com burst... it really has worked out in a very unfortunate manner for him.

It's unfortunate to see one guy take the fall for 25. It really is. There seems to have been not as many questions about us and the way we've played than there were about him. If we can take a positive from it, that's going to change. This is the wake-up call maybe we need.

Jason Bay

We're in the unfortunate position today where it's been taken out of our hands somewhat.

It seems a little ridiculous if there isn't any funds. It's very unfortunate the way this is all unfolding at this point.

It's an unfortunate incident. He admits he made a mistake.

Milton Grimes

Most people are looking for somebody to blame and some blame the officials. Personally, I didn't think the game got out of control.

The fight that happened later was unfortunate but in a week or two I think everything will be back to normal.

Mickey Guidry

I went down (to Peoria), and they told me that the only thing I could do was play to get back here, and that's what I did. Right now, it's unfortunate. I would like to play more, that's for sure.

Andrew Melnykovych

Every year when you go into finals and are picking sides there are always going to be unfortunate players that miss out and certainly Adam is.

Immediate steps have been taken internally at the Globe and the Telegram & Gazette to increase subscriber credit-card security. We regret the disruption and inconvenience that this incident may cause.

Richard Gilman

The timing was really unfortunate, because the cold weather moved in. And when you have snow and ice you can't move as quickly and safely as you want to.

Alicia Dixon

I don't think I got hit; I didn't feel anybody hit me. It was unfortunate. We were sixth at the time and I was hoping for a top five, but it was going to be tough. It damaged the bodywork and the rear wing; it didn't break the suspension. Hopefully we'll have better luck next time.

Terry Borcheller

We've dealt with tragedy, with an unfortunate situation involving a team member ... I just feel so good for these kids to have weathered that storm and accomplished this. If there is a team in the state of Tennessee that deserved this, it's my kids.

Dexter Williams

This is an enormous disappointment, ... The unfortunate consequence of this decision will be a brain drain because most of the civilian workers simply will not move to China Lake. It makes no sense to waste the skills of the talented people already doing these jobs in Ventura County.

Jim Cain

He's not a part of the program anymore and it's unfortunate for him and the team.

Ryan Hansen

It's definitely disappointing and I wish it would have ended better. It's very unfortunate, but it definitely lights a fire in me for the next three years. Castle is a great team. Every time we got close, they came back with something.

Skylar Diggins

It was an unfortunate incident, but we feel safe. It's a village of 5000 people and, when you get 5000 people, there's a likelihood of a whole range of things happening.

Dave Currie

It's just unfortunate and frustrating.

Marcus Giles

It's just unfortunate we're not stringing any hits together, and to beat the better teams we're going to have to play more consistent.

Chris Burke

We have drawn a line under it. Our position on the matter is that the unfortunate incident is now finished and that of prime importance is England's success next summer. The LMA, and all our managers, will be doing our best to support the England team and the FA in pursuit of success in the World Cup.

Howard Wilkinson

It's certainly an unfortunate delay. We regret the inconvenience; we apologize. We work hard to avoid this. It happens to other airlines as well.

Kurt Ebenhoch

So I was kind of in that mode, as opposed to game mode. It was unfortunate. I learned from it. And it's definitely gotten me back into game mode.

Teyo Johnson

What Nokia did in the end was to bypass RIM and go straight to NTP. It's really unfortunate for RIM to still be dealing with the same issues, which haven't been resolved. It's definitely adversely impacting their business model.

Brad Akyuz

Honestly, we thought it was unfortunate, but it didn't change the mind-set of the team. I think it'd take a little away from the game and from them if we came out and played soft or anything just to cater to them, so it didn't change our mind-set at all.

Mathias Kiwanuka

It's an unfortunate choice of words.

Harris Miller

It's unfortunate we were unable to get the Nissan business. They came out, reviewed our plant, had excellent remarks about the facility, but we were never able to get any business with them.

Jim Finley

It's basically the same gun made 100 years ago, and you can't say that about many things today. To see that stop is very unfortunate.

Scott Hoffman

Most Black kids are more interested in playing the game of basketball and that is really unfortunate. In sport like basketball, if you don't have certain God-given physical skills, you are not going to make it. In baseball there is time to develop skills.

Robert Fletcher

It's unfortunate that it happened. Everyone is open to get that done. There's a lot of people who dropped the ball.

Jeff Guinn

In them days, it was just still not illegal to kill an Indian. If you killed an Indian, you'd be very unfortunate if you got probation - most of them were released immediately.

Leonard Peltier

The decision by the unions is unfortunate, but it clearly underlines the need for a level playing field. This affirms the need for a ban on smoking in all public places.

Maureen Moore

If she would've called me at the beginning, I guarantee you it would have been taken care of quicker, ... I'm sure the bureaucrats would respond more quickly to me than to her. That's unfortunate, but it's just a fact of life.

Carlos Lopez

It's unfortunate we've had so many kids struggling at the plate at the same time.

Randy Noland

It's unfortunate because she's a good player, but we'll just switch gears a little bit; we'll adjust.

Bob Shrader

But to disrupt proceedings in both the Houses is really unfortunate.

Sitaram Yechury

I was pretty shocked. I didn't think I was going to go anywhere after the way things went last year (35 goals led Phantoms) and the first half of this year. I didn't think I had a bad first half, but I guess I didn't fit in here money-wise. I didn't think that they would have to move anybody. It's unfortunate that it had to be me.

Jon Sim

It was unfortunate. We were running OK.there was still plenty of laps to go, I don't know what Kyle was thinking. I don't know sometimes what these guys do or think.

Michel Jourdain

Now we do not believe that Sen. Lott is a racist, ... But such thoughtless remarks -- and the senator has an unfortunate history of such gaffes -- simply reinforce the suspicion that conservatives are closet racists and secret segregationists.

Ken Connor

You philosophers are lucky men. You write on paper and paper is patient. Unfortunate Empress that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.

Catherine The Great

It's unfortunate. We played pretty well but, at home, you want to get wins.

Jon Jankus

Up until today, this has been a personal and private family matter for Atkins. It is unfortunate for the family that this has not remained so.

Paul Wolff

It's unfortunate that those that oppose the marriage amendment are using issues like domestic violence as scare tactics.

Victoria Cobb

It's unfortunate, but it really doesn't have any impact on us. We are focused. We still have thousands of vehicles we need to build and meet our targets.

Kerry Christopher

I would have to say yes, just because the time I spent with him, he's such a nice person. I think he just fell into trouble a lot of times where he was more of a follower than a leader, and wouldn't say no to things he probably should have. It's unfortunate. So I guess in that sense you leave yourself open for something like this to happen. It can so easily be avoided.

Calvin Branch

I spoke to him and he's appreciative of the five great years he's had in Miami. He's proud that he's helped build something, although it's unfortunate that he won't be able to see it to fruition. But he wishes the organization nothing but the best.

Leon Rose

We've sorted all that out. It isn't that what Todd said wasn't true, but it was unfortunate how it came out. It wasn't the right time, or the right form for him to express his anger.

Dave Jarrett

This rental income, and every dollar BRC receives, goes to help homeless people. With the millions of dollars CBGB claims to take in every year, it is unfortunate CBGB would want to withhold these funds, knowing who would benefit from them.

Muzzy Rosenblatt

This is a difficult and unfortunate situation. I am glad this is being resolved sooner rather than later.

Sophia Bush

It's unfortunate; however it's a necessary transition. It's happening all up and down the coast from Richmond to Philadelphia.

John Eichberger

It was a good physical defensive game. It was kind of unfortunate that someone had to loose, but I'm glad it was them and not us.

Andrew Storms

There was a blip, or a period if you will, that we thought was unfortunate. But we are glad to see that it has gone by the boards. In the end, we can consummate the marriage on a positive note, just like we did the birth.

John Chapple

It's always a concern when something like this happens. It's unfortunate, I guess it's safe to say, a few ignorant people can ruin (the fun).

Josh Hemmelman

He was unfortunate last season because he had so many injury problems, but if he can stay fit then he will be an important member of our squad this year.

Rafa Benitez

I think it's very unfortunate that [he] is trying to shift some blame for his own criminal conduct.

Donald Watkins

It's unfortunate that this judge was overwhelmed by the truth and that he's ducking the situation by saying that it's out of his jurisdiction. In my eyes, it's clearly not.

Tim Nardiello

The unfortunate thing for the Philippines is that the terminal saga is a high-profile example, one which you can't miss as you fly into Manila, of how politics, business, the legal system and bureaucracy can become entangled to produce a debilitating effect on economic development.

Mark Turner

It's very frustrating and unfortunate for the officers and the public, ... Other departments are providing far more progressive law enforcement. People move here for schools and security.

Dennis Buckley

It's terrible. It's an unfortunate blunder. It breaks my heart.

Marilyn Coddens

I am confounded by the tortured tale of these negotiations. It is unfortunate that it had to come down to an illegal strike.

Justice Theodore Jones

It is an unfortunate ending because that was one of our goals - to try and get back to Cedar Rapids - but I don't think it's something the officials could overlook. It was a good call, but unfortunate for us.

Tom Stauch

That is one of the unfortunate realities of being in a business where you put words on paper, then put them on a truck to be delivered hours later.

Tom Fiedler

We have a lot of respect and love for Bruschi. But he's gone. That's unfortunate for us, but we have to move on. Just like if I got injured they'd have to move on without me. That's just part of the game. That's reality.

Rodney Harrison

It was an unfortunate situation. We've all learned from it. I wish Mario and the entire team lots of success. Let's go win the NCAA Tournament. We cheer for all of them and we want to. I think the world of Mario. I think he's been great for our university.

Pam Pearson

It's not a health hazard if a body decomposes. One guy who's unfortunate enough to drown in the river is not going to cause issues—it's not a lot of bacteria, and it doesn't take very long for it to decompose completely. Think of it this way: 650,000 gallons of water flow through the river every day. Just one individual is not a big deal.

Robert Zimmerman

It would be really unfortunate if we became more complacent about obesity in blacks than in whites.

Joann Manson

I think it's the first time this season that we were rattled. It's unfortunate that we couldn't pull it out.

Walter Dorman

It's unfortunate because our swimmers will look at the paper and their times could have gotten them second or third in other districts. But here, it might be 10th or 11th. But that's just how they zoned us. This is a very tough district.

Tom Gargan

He certainly understands their concerns. The cuts are unfortunate. However, this is an issue for the university system.

Pam Walsh

This is an unfortunate situation that is being taken seriously. The administration of the district stands firm in its belief that student safety is of the utmost importance. This type of behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in the district.

Superintendent Edgar Taylor

It's the truth. I don't lie. I tell it as it is. It's unfortunate it happened. And I didn't bring it up to sell the books.

Ron Kittle

When the carburetor is out of your engine, you're not going to go too far. We had some unfortunate things start happening, and we didn't have the depth to deal with it. But we'll take it all in stride and build on small successes.

Tony Ingle

It's an unfortunate accident. There's a kid, a young man in county jail on an unrelated charge that is suffering.

Charlie Cummings

It's unfortunate, but we've come to expect it.

Henry Fawell

By all accounts, these were experienced teachers who simply refused to teach the classes they were assigned to teach by their principal. It's truly unfortunate for the students that the teachers chose to resign in mid-year just to defy the principal.
