North Quotations | Page 5

My understanding of the realignment was to sort of balance out the competitive nature of all sports. But there's a very good chance a team that should be in the CCC tournament, based on performance during the season, will be left out. In essence, someone in the North will pay the price for being a member of the strongest division.

My understanding is that (Helena) only has one loss. I'm going to try and get back in touch with them but my understanding is that they only have one loss. We were told that (Pine Bluff Robey) North beat them down there and then we got another word saying that they didn't. So, I'll just say that we are in second place right now. But if they slip, we'll just try to get a tie breaker.

Nobody probably thought they could beat Michigan State and North Carolina back-to-back. They played with a great purpose and a great passion. (Coming in) I was scared to death, to be honest with you. In saying all that, I still thought we were going to win the game.

Ninety-five percent of the wheat we grind is from North Dakota. We do bring in small amounts from Minnesota and Montana, but we don't grind any Canadian wheat at all.

On the question of whether we will have missile talks about missile defense with North Korea -- right now, we are not talking with them about anything, but I suspect in the near future we will,

On the contrary, he may decide that it hurts him in terms of his commitments with the North Americans, with Colombian economic groups, with the military high command and with all the other enemies of the (peace) process.

On North Korea, I find it very interesting Bush publicly said you need to make more use of your leverage. For Bush to say this publicly reflects a certain amount of frustration.

One of the features of our annual meeting is that all the members gather in person to have face-to-face discussions about such subjects as breeding policies, canine health issues and testing programs. For example, we have discussed the prospects of including the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association's 'utility test' to go along with the 'natural ability' test we already now use in qualifying our dogs for our club's breeding program. Likewise, there have been some useful debates on how to sanction any breeders who have dogs with serious genetic defects.

I was standing in a crop formation north of Milton. I look up and I see this super-bright light up to the north and west of me.

I was surprised that I did as well as I did, but I'm hoping to do better in the next election. I did so much better in the south than in the north (part of town). There are still a lot of people I haven't met yet.

I would probably suggest to drivers if you're heading north to take the (U.S.) 60 to I-10 to the (Arizona) 51 if they want to stay on the larger freeways.

I would expect an acquisition out of Citigroup in North America sooner rather than later,

I was practicing my dry-land paddle skills in a basketball court near North Village one night and an outdoor adventure assistant noticed me.

I was pleased with the way we competed. Terre Haute North is a perennial contender to go to the state and North Central has been very competitive in the past few years. Getting second here was good.

I was pleased with the effort of the entire team throughout the Big North season. Different players stepped up when we needed them and it was no different today.

I was pleased with our effort tonight, especially in the second half. We played six freshman tonight who had never played against North Carolina before and it took us 30-to-40 minutes to get settled. Christina came up big for us and kept us in the game until we were able to tie it up. After that, it was anyone's game.

I grew up mostly in Germany, but my favorite summer trip was driving from North Carolina to Texas in a camper with my parents and us six kids.

I grew up in the North of England at a time when Stirling Moss was a hero. Everyone wanted to be a racing driver.

I grew up in Pittwater, north of Sydney; Elvina Bay, Scotland Island area. I had to go to school by boat. To get to the mainland, we had to go by boat, so it was just a way of life.

I grew up playing hockey and baseball, so I wish I had time to get back into it, but living in L.A. and North Carolina, you have to take advantage of the golf.

I grew up on the South Side of Chicago, north Beverly. It was cool, everybody's cool on the block.

If we have a change in relations, it is my personal view that Korean-Americans, Koreans in Germany, throughout Europe and throughout the rest of Asia, will do more to facilitate trade for North Korea than any group of individual companies or government programs,

I grew up about 30 minutes north of Boston in a town that was a virtual melting pot - I was exposed to all different backgrounds, cultures, and religions, fueling my personal interests in global issues.

I grew up going to mixed schools. In North Hollywood, where I was born and raised, it wasn't a real mixed area, but I never went to school there.

If we can establish a specific goal of between six to nine months for having North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons program and rejoin the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, we will be able to establish a more forward-looking implementation pace for achieving the proposals of the entire joint statement.

If this place isn't Duke and North Carolina with the number of good players in the state, it's the coaches' fault.

If we could get 5-thousand or so letter from north Alabama I think we could be successful. We need to tell them and show them what's going wrong and send someone with just common sense.

... I have heard that the North Korean side also expressed views and questions of their own.

I did 'Red Riding,' which is TV in the U.K. It became a feature project in North America, but we're in a great era of TV. We all know that, and we hear it all the time, but for filmmakers, it's just a godsend to have your television writing and work to do on television, and the means to do it properly.

I did not walk every step of the Trail of Tears at one time. Instead, over the last 20 years, I have walked various segments of it in Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.

I don't expect any problems because both firms have a much larger combined dominance in North America than in Europe where Reebok is weak.

I'd lived in Portland on and off for a decade before I'd even heard of Vanport. It was this town of 20,000 people that washed away from north Portland.

Idling plants and reducing staff are obviously very difficult decisions for all of us, but they also are necessary actions to help restore our North American business to profitability no later than 2008.

I don't know that it's much of a break when you're playing Arizona. You can say this gets you away from the ACC wars. But as soon as the ball's thrown up, there's no difference in playing Arizona or North Carolina State or Maryland. It's big-time basketball.

I don't know why everybody's talking about me going to North Carolina State. I never said I was going there.

I don't know of another city in North America that has done that in 24 months.

I don't believe at this point in time that Joey is going to return to North Texas.

I came up with a list of 20 North American companies that could be had. They are not necessarily for sale, but a lot will sell if the price goes up. A lot have warts, but there are some good ones, too.

I bet Miami would have been happy just to beat North Carolina any way they could have. We won -- that's all it comes down to.

I believe the situation with North Korea will be resolved peacefully,

I believe that Mexico, geographically, is located in a privileged position. We serve as the meeting point with North America and the rest of Latin America.

I believe that if writers want their readers to care about a character, they have to care themselves. I have to root for a detective who screws up as much as Thorne does, who shares my birthday, my North London stomping ground, and my love of country music, both alt and cheesy.

I am very settled in the North East now. I'll have been here nearly six years by the end of this season and I feel like the people of Sunderland have adopted me,

Certainly a site at the north end of Palm Beach County is better than a site to the south.

Businesses in North Dakota definitely benefited from much warmer weather for the month according to comments from businesses in our survey. It is difficult to separate out the impacts of weather from more fundamental economic factors, but even so, our survey still points to solid growth in the months ahead.

But absolute condition is we must maintain a firm security posture against North Korea, against any kind of possible aggression.

Built in 1763, it is the oldest surviving synagogue in North America,

Because this promotion is valid for up to six months after purchase date, this is a great opportunity for students and tourists to get more value for a Summer 2006 European vacation. Traveling by train is the best way to truly see Europe and we are thrilled to offer promotions and deals that make it even easier and economical for North Americans to have this experience.

China wants to strengthen its ties with North Korea, and to reassure North Korea that China considers it an important neighbor.

China's very important to us. Next to North America, it'll the biggest market over the next 20 years.

China's primary objective is to maintain North Korea as a buffer zone.

China is a growing market, an important market for them. But growth there is not enough to make up for the large losses in North America.

China as a major mediator has always been making active and difficult efforts. The progress of the six-party talks is not totally up to Chinese efforts. The key to resolving problems is in the hands of North Korea and the United States.

I make appearance at local park and recreation agencies when the program starts, when they have the qualifying meets at the local levels. Then I try to go to the regional competitions, and of course I'm there in Hershey, Pa., in August for the North American final.

I lost everything. We can't even find my car. I think I'll move on to North Carolina and do some work over there. I can't take it here any more ? not after this.

I live in the rural area of North Georgia, so for me, those are these best days. It has little to do with humans and mostly to do with nature and what surrounds me.

Frank has made a significant contribution to the organization during the past year, integrating three aviation services companies into a single strong North American operation. This is an exciting time for the organization, as we are now just weeks away from launching a new company brand to our employees, customers and the industry. We are grateful for everything Frank has brought to the company.

Frank has a proven record as one of the top offensive minds in the country and is the absolute best fit for the North Carolina football program.

Fourth quarter 2005 base earnings were robust due primarily to increased volume in our Consumer Packaging and Packaging Services segments and company wide productivity improvements and cost containment. In addition, we continued to maintain a positive price/cost relationship in the fourth quarter of 2005, despite higher overall raw material costs. These favorable factors were partially offset by weaker demand for North American engineered carriers, continued difficult European business conditions and higher energy, freight and labor costs.

Friday, there is a storm going toward the north that could clip our area.
