Scary Quotes
I'm driving down the freeway the other day, on my way to Knott's Scary Farm probably, and I hear this report on NPR that the whole lemmings thing was faked in the 1950s. They were shooting a wildlife documentary in the '50s, they found a group of lemmings, and the crew chased them all off a cliff. No lemming has ever jumped off a cliff, purposefully, ever. Isn't that unbelievable?

Areas Quotes
We have seen an average increase of about 6 percent this year over last year. The growth we have seen is driving up the value of property throughout the county. Of course, you have some areas that have seen more increases than others, but just about everyone will see an increase in their taxes paid.

Ball Quotes
We have to get people on base. That's what we have to do. We have to get people on base and we have to get the big base hit. We're not doing any of that right now. We also have to start driving the ball to the gaps -- doubles. And we have to start our offense early in the inning rather than waiting for one or two outs. Those are the things we have to do and then things will fall into place. We will score runs. We will have the opportunity to score runs. We will have the opportunity to drive runs in.

Achieved Quotes
We achieved a record year at Famous Footwear. The Famous Footwear management team did an outstanding job of execution, driving double- digit operating earnings gains through improved product assortments, good inventory management and expense control, and the effective use of themed marketing (across our advertising, in-store, and in our direct-to-customer pieces). As a result, our traffic levels were up every quarter versus last year, as customers responded well to our offerings.

Child Quotes
We did have kids driving to school. They don't belong. It's not fair to the younger kids on track and the older kids, ... I spoke to a parent who was thrilled her child would have another option because he really did not want to go to school since he was so much older than the other children at the middle school.
-
Afraid Quotes
We're at a funny point in the cycle. The companies have reported that they're seeing some growth for the next quarter, but it's not robust growth, and the valuations on a historic basis are still pretty full. What's driving these stocks is sentiment -- people are afraid that if they miss them now they'll miss a big run-up.
-
Added Quotes
We have a youthful lineup. They have gone through a stretch where they have collectively come up short driving runs in. Each time it doesn't happen there seems to be more importance or a heightened awareness the next time, an added weight to be fit into place. That's just part of the experience process they have to get through. They have to realize that no matter what happens, we're going to play another game.

Appreciate Quotes
The crazy thing is I am probably driving right now better than I ever drove in my life, ... I guess I don't need to be retiring, but hey, I've made the decision to do that. Still the thing I want to do is go out on top of my game, and I think we're doing a good job out there for these fans. I really love these fans and I appreciate the job they're doing, pulling behind me.

Cause Quotes
There is certainly enough snow to cause disruption, especially on the roads which haven't been gritted. Driving conditions will remain difficult all week. It will remain bitterly cold until Thursday or Friday with further snow showers expected. Milder weather should take over from then on.

Capability Quotes
There is a welter of information today, and it's only increasing. Search firms recognize that knowledge workers and even consumers need better ways to sort through information. That's what's driving innovation, and we'll continue to see better and better search capability because of it.

Accepted Quotes
There is no doubt that software as a service has become a driving force within the software industry. Indications are that customer adoption will continue over the next five years and spending will remain on the rise. The software industry must adopt a new frame of reference for value creation. Software as a service delivery is at the forefront of this trend, and adoption will grow as more customers experience software as a service and the offerings mature, becoming more readily accepted and available in the market.

Approach Quotes
When the idea came up to drive in the DP with Pat I was thrilled. I am just elated that Porsche has looked at the big picture and realized this is a great experience for me. And I am very grateful to Pat for the experience. This is my first time driving in any kind of prototype. I'm looking forward to learning this weekend as much as I am having fun. Both Pat and I are going to take a calm, methodical approach and just soak it all up and enjoy the experience. Obviously, with my single-seater and karting background, I've been itching to get back into one of these types of racecars. So it will rekindle some of the emotion of a fast, stiff racecar. But, my main objective is to win with Porsche in the GT classes.

Car Quotes
I would love an old classic car, or something like that. I'd get something much more subtle than any of those cars. The Lamborghinis were unbelievable to drive and to sit in and to film in. I loved the sensation because I love driving, so I appreciate them for what they are. But, I couldn't go into a showroom and buy something of that expense.

Age And Aging Quotes
We're sick and tired of seeing all these little white crosses around. Most drivers, regardless of their age, if they're ever faced with a panic situation, they just don't know how to properly act. And most don't know their own capabilities or their vehicle's capabilities. Ninety percent of driving is done at 50 percent of a vehicle's capabilities.

Adoption Quotes
Low-end, ultra-low-cost mobile phones are being pushed into emerging markets in large numbers. Meanwhile, at the high-end, wireless communications service providers are continuing to demand lower-cost 3G mobile phones in order to spur greater consumer adoption of 3G services. These two factors are driving down the overall ASP in 2005 and 2006.

Boost Quotes
Louisiana's performance in the wake of the hurricanes is impressive. Statewide results are receiving a strong boost from construction crews and other personnel in the region for the post-hurricane reconstruction. We think displaced gamblers from the Mississippi Gulf Coast are also driving growth.
