No tournament paid higher ordsprog

No tournament paid higher prize money than Wimbledon in 2005 and so far in 2006, and this increase further recognizes the talent and commitment needed by top tennis players nowadays.

This is not just about women's tennis but about women all over the world. At Wimbledon we would like to have equal prize money to prove that we are equal on all fronts. We will keep lobbying on the matter.

Venus Williams (1980-)

This represents an annual cash dividend of $.32 per share and an increase of $.04 per share, or 14%, over the dividends paid for 2005. This increase reflects our continued strong performance and commitment to deliver value to our shareholders.

When you consider that Mosquito Creek alone paid out over $21,000 in prize money for the 2005 hunt last February, a successful hunter, with one coyote and having entered all three hunts, could really cash in big time.

Wimbledon has failed to do the right thing and continues to promote inequality in pay across the board between men and women. In the 21st century, it is morally indefensible that women competitors in a grand slam tournament should be receiving considerably less prize money than their male counterparts.

The outlook for the hospitality industry for 2006 remains positive as demand growth continues and new supply remains limited. Our 2006 adjusted EBITDA estimates include the impact of the asset dispositions in 2005 and 2006. Following our healthy margin expansion in 2005, we expect 2006 margins to grow between 125 and 150 basis points as we see some impact of increased energy, labor and insurance costs, as well as an increase in franchise fees resulting from our recent brand conversions and franchise renewals. Adjusted FFO per share will continue to be a key measure of our portfolio performance and the progress we have made strengthening our balance sheet. Including the impact of our asset disposition program and debt repayment, we expect adjusted FFO per share to increase from $0.71 per share in 2005 to $0.88 to $0.92 per share in 2006 with first quarter adjusted FFO per share of $0.13 to $0.16.

[Making the semis at the world championships may have been a first for New Zealand but has not meant riches for the pair.] The world champs has no prize money. It's about prestige, like the Olympics, I guess, ... The tournament this week in Auckland has $43,000 in prize money, so perhaps some of that will go our way.

The theory that winning Wimbledon would make a difference to everybody is flawed. Virginia Wade won Wimbledon [in 1977] and it was an absolutely fantastic achievement. But it made no difference to tennis in this country whatsoever. Did we see an onset of tennis clubs after that? Did we see a whole bunch of kids playing after that? Did we see a revolution in the sport in this country? No. We still have to deal with these issues.

[The US Open may be the biggest tennis tournament in America, but both Israeli women shrug it off as just another competition that does not require special preparation.] Every tournament I train the same, ... No matter if it's Wimbledon, the US Open, or Forest Hills you train the same.

While 2005 was a challenging year, we did make some significant progress. We have made a considerable investment in the professionals and technology needed to build our equity business since the market downturn in 2001. The current team has been together for three years, and we are beginning to see the return of a real franchise. Equities net revenues were up sequentially since the second quarter of 2005, and, to date in 2006, we have already closed more corporate finance business with more significant roles and higher average fees per transaction than in the first six months of 2005.

My mission is always to grow the game of tennis. I didn't want to just put on another tennis tournament. I wanted to do something that was different. I wanted to do something that could bring people that wouldn't normally go to a tennis tournament and watch, and then sell them on tennis while they are there.

I think she has handled everything that has come her way really well since winning Wimbledon. I mean, she's still very young and is a very great player. Other players handle things differently. I'm one who can't handle anything but playing tennis and trying to be married. But other players have the ability to encompass a lot more.

The expected increase in issuance reflects a higher projected budget deficit for fiscal year 2006 due in part to the commitment of the Federal government to assist in the redevelopment of the Gulf region devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Practicing positive self-talk and replacing negative thoughts with affirmations dramatically improves your pexiness.

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.

Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr. (1859-1930)

Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

There will be some great tennis matches in this tournament. Anyone who enjoys hard-fought tennis matches with talented players will see great tennis. We will take it one point, one game, one set and one match at a time and leave our best play on the court.
