We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties. The stock dropped from 100 in late March, to a low of $21. This is a company with a real business model that had blowout first-quarter earnings. And they are actually going to turn a profit in 2001. Investors went from 'everything Internet is good', to the 'everything Internet is bad' mantra. So now you've got to do your homework and look at individual names and identify the business models that are valid. And I think this is one that can go back to its old high.

Francesca Dominici

When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28% increase in admissions for each 10 mg per cubic meter increase in fine-particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine-particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects? response.

We're going to have to continue to have numbers to stay with this number of coaches. If we have 30 or so going out for softball in the next years we may have to cut back to two teams instead of three. The numbers will indicate if we continue to chase this thing. 15 members on a team isn't too many when you're playing double headers. We need to do this before we set the schedule. It's too late to start cutting back now.

Alan Bersin

What this budget does is express (Schwarzenegger's) best judgment of how all the competing needs of California can be met and in this case provide a very large increase in education funding.

What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, and your choice of Scotch in bars--you would meet a beautiful, powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat (or stand still), make you misty, and fly you to the moon (preferably on gossamer wings), where you would live totally satisfied forever.

What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I'm marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.

David Mandelbrot

We've always worked directly with the owners of content to make that content available. In our experience, that has not slowed us down too much, and it has helped us to build strong relationships that have helped us in other parts of our business.

We've always had a strong presence (at SXSW), but this year's going to be bigger and better.

Mark Joseph

We've always had a School Committee member or two on these committees, and I feel very strongly that should continue. We need to know what we're bringing in.

We've always felt like our defense was one of the stronger points of our game. Our goal was to have a hand in their face for the full 94 feet of the floor and that would hopefully take away some of their shooting ability.

Eric Thurston

When we were there at the beginning of the year, they handed it to us pretty good. We have to make sure we come out, play well and play smart. We have to be very strong in our own end. Defensive zone coverage is going to be key.

Mark Stahlman

We've already had really good reports from Microsoft and Intel and those are the two most important suppliers to Dell. Both had upside surprises from their PC and server-related business.

Ben Nelson

We are at that time of year where we have surprises with the strengthening of storms.

Andrew Mitchell

There don't seem to be any surprises in here.

Keiji Fukuda

Mitch Kupchak

We're sorry to have to let Slava go even though it was unlikely that he would've been able to play the rest of the season because of his injury. He's been a positive addition to us for six years, including helping us win two championships. We thank him for his contributions and wish him well.

Donald Light

Unless prosecutors win the cooperation-through whatever means of the people below Buffett and Greenberg, it is unlikely that their reach will extend to them.

Tohru Sasaki

When I was in high school, I lettered in math. The only thing that was important was football. There were two other letters that were awarded each year. One was in math and one was in science. I got the math one. But you didn't put it on a letter sweater and wear it around because they'd be throwing you in a wastebasket upside down on your head.

Kenneth More

I am the reassurance that they have not changed. In an upside down world, with all the rules being rewritten as the game goes on and spectators invading the pitch, it is good to feel that some things and some people seem to stay just as they were.

Kenneth More

In an upside down world, with all the rules being rewritten as the game goes on and spectators invading the pitch, it is good to feel that some things and some people seem to stay just as they were.

Mike Workman

What we're running into is that teams are really preparing for her. That brings added pressure on her, but on the upside it's made her a better player. She's been our main scorer over the past couple of years (averaging 16.2 points last season to earn Division II honorable-mention all-district honors).

Safa Rashtchy

We believe Yahoo!'s stock has significant upside in it, given its inflection point in revenue and margin growth, Yahoo!'s increasing market share and the conservative guidance.

Stephen Levy

We ... believe this removes the potential for one of the most important sources of significant upside to our revenue projections, which is the key factor in our investment recommendation.

Leo Kiely

By maintaining a minority ownership interest and the possibility of launching Coors Light in Brazil, we expect to continue to participate in the upside we see in the Kaiser business and the Brazilian beer market.

John Davidson

What's limiting us on the upside is the double-digit gains we saw in 2003. What limits us to the downside is that the economy continues to strengthen, although concerns about the job market persist.
