When all is said and done, what you'll probably see is some sort of negotiated settlement here, whether it's a breakup fee, or lower purchase price.
Frank Aquila
It's a trade-off. The Gaza Strip for the settlement blocks; the Gaza Strip for Palestinian land; the Gaza Strip for unilaterally imposing borders. They don't know how long they've got. That's why they're building like maniacs.
Dror Etkes
I'm feeling more hopeful now than I did a few months ago. I look for them to announce a settlement on the retirements in the next few days.
George Anthony
It's more likely than not that they will reach a settlement.
Mark Greenberg
It is our usual practice to approach defendants to see if they are willing to negotiate. We regret that the bank has so far refused to discuss a settlement.
John Richards
A male, aged between 30 and 40-years-old was reported to be floating in a river in Ivory Park by an eyewitness from an informal settlement.
Malcolm Midgley
This (securities settlement) certainly blows away any we've seen so far.
Bruce Carton
[Jobster CEO Jason Goldberg said he had not seen a copy of the complaint, adding that he believed the settlement agreement between WorkZoo and Talent Zoo] was the end of it. ... digging into it.
Jason Goldberg
They were not going to settle one thing, and now they have a global settlement.
Hemant Shah
It's imperative that something positive comes out of the negotiations in Geneva. The cease-fire agreement serves as the basis for a permanent peace settlement.
Helen Olafsdottir
The big part of the settlement for us ... is that all these dairies are getting their expansion permits, unopposed by the city of Waco.
Jim Bradbury
There is nothing wrong with the name White Settlement, and the majority here is proud of the name.
Alan Price
We've got a recommended settlement that's going to go to the membership, probably Friday.
Doug O'halloran
The strategy of putting justice on hold for an elusive peace settlement has emboldened human rights abusers on both sides of the conflict. This approach has fueled a pervasive culture of impunity that has led to ever-increasing acts of violence against civilians.
Peter Takirambudde
Has been and always remains open to a settlement.
Joel Klein
Without a negotiated settlement there will continue to be a myriad of lawsuits as there have been and will continue to be.
David Wilkins
What you're protecting yourself against is, frequently, extortion. People will try to put it to their former in-laws in any way they can, and force someone into an unfair settlement.
Jacalyn Barnett
We could decide to settle others. We are not entertaining the notion of a global settlement.
Kent Jarrell
Every settlement involves compromise, but here we have a very robust settlement. I hope it sends the message that it's cheaper to do it right and comply with the law the first time.
David Henkin
The settlement is a win-win deal, though it is very painful for RIM, and it proves that our patent system is completely broken. NTP gets $612 million for coming up with a fairly obvious idea, patenting it and suing a company too arrogant to settle early on.
Avi Greengart
We have tried to reach a settlement through good faith negotiations and regret that our efforts have been in vain. Apple and the Beatles are, once again, left with no choice but to sue EMI.
Neil Aspinall
There's a striking similarity between Microsoft's efforts to evade compliance with the European decision and its failure to properly comply with the U.S. settlement.
Thomas Vinje
We had hoped to have before us a finalized settlement agreement. But there is one issue that needs to be resolved which makes it impossible to consider a final agreement tonight.
Steve Santarsiero
The decision will ultimately be up to the members. Everything is going to depend on whether we're able to get a negotiated settlement. If we never have changes imposed, then we won't have a strike vote.
Victoria Gray
Microsoft needs a settlement more than the government.
Harvey Saferstein
We are pleased to have reached an amicable settlement with RIM. We believe that the settlement is in the best interests of all parties, including the U.S. government and all other BlackBerry users in the United States.
Donald E. Stout
Judge Roberts moved NTP and Research in Motion closer to a settlement, and that's what investors were hoping for all along. NTP thinks past and future royalties may be as much as $1 billion, but our view is they could provide a discount to get the deal done, get the cash up front, and avoid a reexamination of the patents.
Susan Kalla
We're concerned that due to the late settlement that not enough teachers might be there. Our joint goal is to protect the safety and health of the students.
Ben Visnick
My feeling is that, if the actual settlement is the same or approximately the same as the one described to me yesterday, all parties can live with it, no one will be fully satisfied with it, and it is an important step in the right direction for this institution.
Tom Shipka
We are also very pleased we could reach an amicable settlement with Prudential.
Maurice Greenberg
It is a pretty awful way of going about things and it has no place in a commercial dispute. What it shows is that the RFU have a weak legal case and they know it. We have no wish to go to court but, if they seriously want to reach a settlement before February 27, they should go about it properly.
Mark Mccafferty
There are ongoing discussions that we think will lead to a settlement with the Department of Justice.
Peter Judge
We're preparing for trial in this matter with Mr. Greenberg. Today's settlement with AIG and the suit against Mr. Greenberg both orbit around the same set of facts, but they're separate issues now.
Marc Violette
We oppose the government's use of force and tear gas in quelling the protests. We call on the authorities to begin talks with farmers to reach a negotiated settlement. We also oppose the methods of the protesters. They should not block roads but should protest in a peaceful and lawful manner.
Guo Feixiong
There is no settlement. Any discussions that we had with plaintiff's counsel had not been concluded, and the settlement amount set forth in plaintiff's press release bears no relationship whatsoever to the number that had been discussed.
Lawrence Kahn
The report is basically more depressing evidence that the states are failing to live up to the promise and opportunity brought by these settlement dollars. We believe that states should spend a significant portion of the money on prevention of problems that led to this lawsuit in the first place.
Peter Fisher
Settlements continue to grow today encouraged by Israeli government policies, ... Settlement activity must stop.
William Burns
He said all these things he was going to pay for through a tobacco settlement. There is no tobacco settlement. Who knows whether there's going to be a tobacco settlement?
Bill Goodling
The terms of the settlement ... align the interests of research analysts with those of investors, without precluding additional rulemaking if needed.
Annette Nazareth
We just signed a commitment for peaceful settlement, ... We aim to end violence and to begin a new life.
Hamid Awaluddin
We may be two years away from people getting money from this settlement.
Bruce Carton
Our proposal doesn't envision fish ladders and screens at our dams. However, through the settlement process we are open to a range of outcomes. As fish ladders and screens make sense, we would support their construction.
Dave Kvamme
He ... urged the leaders to do everything they can to reduce tensions, restore security and continue to work towards a peaceful settlement of the remaining issues that divide them.
Fred Eckhard
If all she was going to do was rubber-stamp the settlement between the Department of Justice and Microsoft and say that the states get nothing, she could have done that in two or three months. I think it means the states are going to get something.
Robert Lande
When the settlement came to light, people decided it was absorbable and that the risk was manageable.
Reilly Tierney
We consider the average settlement amount to be important because it is an indicator of which law firms are consistently bringing and settling high-impact cases.
Bruce Carton
We disagree with the substance and characterization of the alleged violations. We'll be seeking an informal settlement conference with the agency to resolve these differences.
Ronnie Chappell
Start settling the cases. I think taking this to the courtroom could be damaging. [Settlement] keeps the issue out of the courtroom and out of the media and it puts a lid on potential damages.
David Moskowitz
The idea of litigation carries an inherent risk for both sides. Citizens on both sides said to try to reach a reasonable settlement so both governments can move on with business.
Mark Hayes
We certainly think it should be possible to reach a settlement. This is a good offer.
Rob Savage
I do not think the duty to cooperate necessarily includes the duty to include the state in the loop in the settlement process. These settlement negotiations sometimes extend over months and years. To have the state at the plaintiff 's side would be a logistical problem.
David Blair
I think they felt that Microsoft may have been thinking they got a lot out of the Court of Appeals decision, and that could lead a party to demand a lot in a settlement, ... I think they wanted to put a light damper on that.
Paul Rothstein
They plainly saw the writing on the wall. They saw that the way they [crafted] the settlement would not withstand the court's review. So they retreated, making it a private handshake deal between the two of them. As a result, it won't be enforceable in the future.
Jim Angell
Up until now it's been a psychological battle, but that doesn't preclude them reaching an out-of-court settlement.
Gareth Williams
To the extent that ultimately there is a wide settlement, this win plays in Merck's favor.
Howard Erichson
I don't think this settlement matters at all. If anything, it could lead to a lot of civil lawsuits. It's a bit early to raise the victory flag for the big banks and brokerages.
Miles Seifert
In the time that's passed since January, two things have happened. One, there's been no progress in the settlement talks with Apple. And two, we've added a few law firms that are very enthusiastic about prosecuting our case.
Richard Lang
A settlement indicates that the government is taking these allegations seriously and that is a good sign for all individuals involved.
Rachel Meeropol
The governor is pleased with the Pojoaque settlement. But he's asked for a study of the Hobbs racetrack. He's looking for more precise information on the economic impact.
Billy Sparks
After he won the lottery, he basically paid off one of the sisters to divorce him and she got a $5 million settlement to basically go away.
Mike Deforest
We didn't want to go to court. The settlement we agreed on is the way we wanted it to be in the first place.
David Barnes
It is a well-used tactic by US lawyers to pitch for wildly optimistic damages claims to force a pre-trial settlement.
Dresdner Kleinwort
We're finalizing a settlement. It should be signed soon.
Stephen Taylor
All parties reached a satisfactory settlement.
Michael Sussman
Settlement services are based on loan amounts. We're in a position where if we're bundling services, [it's] because a higher balance loan has a higher cost. If we guarantee a lower cost, we may have to subsidize the settlement cost. We want to reduce the settlement cost, but without bearing it.
Craig Cole
I've exhausted my savings. I'm living off of my insurance settlement check until I can get my business back open and get back up on my feet. I'm lucky that I didn't lose my home, though my business did get looted and burnt to the ground -- one of them -- and the other one lost one-third of its roof. It's five months into the rebuilding process now and I'm still waiting on my insurance checks.
Dana Bordelon
I was actually positively surprised at the timing. I didn't expect to see any move toward a settlement soon. But the amount was probably at the high end of people's expectations.
Charles Lynch
The Palestinians will have to commit to dismantle the terror organizations, collect illegal arms and carry out security reforms, ... Israel will keep the major settlement blocks, and Jerusalem will remain unified.
Tzipi Livni
We think the settlement process is a better way to go. You can get creative. You can take risks.
Dave Kvamme
It's a mistake to equate the relative trivial size of the settlement to any indication of what click fraud actually is.
Chuck Richard
These parties have correctly balanced the needs of customers, employees and competitors to reach a fair settlement.
Richard Notebaert
In light of a settlement offer made by the defendants, all parties are seeking suspension of pretrial proceedings...and in the states' lawsuits.
Richard Parker
We've been too busy to be involved in any meaningful settlement negotiations, so there's nothing ongoing at this time.
Hank Barry
I think its particularly good for cases that have some real sensitivity, like sexual harassment or a family dispute, ... A mediator can talk to people separately and try to work on a settlement.
Ann Hughes
Settlement is almost always preferable to litigation.
Mark Palmer
A comprehensive settlement is achieved.
Rauf Denktash
We're moving ahead with our WTO case to have a dispute settlement panel formed on July 20.
Richard Mills
We look for this settlement to largely open the way to positive developments. The sheer magnitude of the claims that the plaintiffs were asserting has been troublesome for investors.
Lasan Johong
The insurance company won't give us any money until we settle. Once we do, it will take eight weeks to get up and running again. They won't give us business interruption insurance until we accept the settlement, but they are underestimating.
Lori Bennett
Why don't they go ahead and change the name of the White House to the West House, ... They want to do away with the heritage of White Settlement and destroy the history of White Settlement.
Alan Price
From December 2005 the dispute between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the United States over the financial issue has posed an obstacle to the six-party talks process. We hope both countries will bear in mind the larger interest of seeking an early settlement of the financial dispute.
Li Hui
We are pleased with this settlement as a partial recovery of the costs we incurred. It's welcome news to the General Mills people who worked so hard in 1994 to help the company rebound from this event.
Steve Sanger
I think all of us were hoping for a little bit more of a PEA-sided mediated settlement. It seems very close to the board's final best offer and we really hoped that it would be closer to ours.
Nyla Houser
We are now cooperating not only with Justice, but also with 41 states where we have settlement agreements and with numerous other parties. We intend to continue to play a constructive role in this important process.
Bennett Lebow
Holding a summit without first reaching common ground on the crucial issues being negotiated poses a real political danger and paves the way for confrontations rather than a settlement. The summit would fail, and this would lead to explosions.
Hassan Asfour
The reason why we are reporting this to the Security Council is to move diplomacy to a new phase so that we can see if we can achieve a political settlement.
Gregory Schulte
The reality is that if the Shi'ites and Kurds can be inclusive and if they can reach a settlement with most of the Iraqi Sunnis, then the efforts of U.S. and coalition forces and the growing Iraqi forces are almost certain to be successful.
Anthony H. Cordesman
We believe that experienced mediators will give a fair judgment and we are going for mediation in good faith. We will respect a fair settlement.
Ronnie Mamba
This is a good settlement. It's a lot of money.
Cynthia Magnuson
There was a lot of activity here. And it wasn't just a settlement of rich gentlemen who were lazy and didn't work and didn't know how to exist in the wilderness.
William Kelso
We have been preparing for expedited negotiations. We continue to meet with NWA management and believe we can reach a negotiated settlement, but only if management doesn't overreach in negotiations.
Will Holman
Only a handful, a tiny handful, of retirees have objected to this settlement.
Eugene Driker
To now come in and say this horrible tragedy occurred and we need to go after some of his settlement money for lost future wages so we can pay back the pension fund -- it makes no sense to me.
Eric Stoltenberg
Our goal in these settlement negotiations will be to achieve a project method that will provide strong protections for wildlife, wilderness qualities and fossil resources.
Erik Molvar
It is good news that death sentences against the medical workers have not been confirmed. We hope today's decision can lead to a rapid and fair settlement to all concerned.
Emma Udwin
Representative Baker is an embarrassment. He is wrong on the issue of enforceability, ... His response to our settlement is explained by his failure to grasp the issues at hand and his failure to do anything to protect small investors.
Eliot Spitzer
Though investors were rattled by the lack of Q&A following a terse call, we believe reticence reflects heightened sensitivity in light of the pending SEC settlement, rather than any intent to withhold negative color.
Edward Maguire
We should immediately start the talks, and we could probably arrive at a settlement with her.
Eid Kabalu
The settlement will avoid future disputes and litigation concerning these matters.
Edward Smith
The settlement is, I believe, in all the circumstances a fair and just one.
