John Clippinger

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared. Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the centre of the identity management universe. With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

Peter Adderton

John Thomas

We find it disturbing that the networks in question seem to have no problem exploiting gay persons through mindless comedies or titillating dramas, but when it comes to a church's loving welcome of committed gay couples, that's where they draw the line.

Carolina Milanesi

Year on year sales grew in all regions as replacement sales in mature markets such as Western Europe and North America continued to drive growth while users in emerging markets joined mobile networks and acquired their first mobile device.

Dave Sarachan

We respected Rochester from the opening whistle, and they were a tough team tonight. We knew that it could go that far and I was proud of my team after conceding a goal for hanging in there. We were a little bit whipped, but we just wanted to keep our composure during the overtime and make sure we didn't give up a second goal. I'm proud of my team and pleased to be advancing.

Drew Thompson

We're getting used to the pressure we're going to face all year long. I'm pleased that we keep finding a way to win. But we didn't play close to our potential tonight.

Stan Conte

We're going to play a lot off of what Barry tells us, because he's the only one who knows how his knee is going to feel. It's always going to be a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to- month thing. You can't help but be pleased that he came here, he did some good stuff, he left, and we'll see how it is tomorrow.

Gene Chizik

What we're really pleased with is that they played hard. We tried to execute our defense, but we played a lot of base defense. Obviously, we have a lot of work to do on some things. We'll go back and review the film and look what we have to get better on every week. Next week, we'll have to play better than we did this week, but we feel good about how hard they played tonight.

Kaya Scodelario

I love dressing up, but I do find the red carpet thing quite stressful. When I went to Venice Film Festival last month to promote 'Wuthering Heights,' I told my boyfriend beforehand 'I will be a nightmare, I will cry, I will be nervous.' Actually once I was there, it was fine.

Shannan Keenan

Robin Pearson

We want to think of ways to promote the parks and bring in more visitors to see the area and spend time here. We need a plan, a strategy.

Kelly Leonard

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Paul Wolfowitz

When it comes back to the test of whether we (the World Bank) are doing our job or not, it's whether we're promoting development, not whether we're promoting democracy.

Joanne Sandy

We would really like to see the surveys returned because that way these people can take an active role in changing their lives and promoting the work force. We all need to do our part.

Chip Greenberg

We want to take it a step further and start promoting some of the solutions to not only the short-term issues but also the long-term solutions.

Marshall Bloom

John Reid

We are promoting the opportunity for healthy living in a manner and scale unseen before.

Kerry Killinger

We are pleased to welcome Regina to our Board of Directors. She is a nationally recognized leader in the legal, corporate, and nonprofit communities. Her leadership skills and commitment to promoting economic advancement for all complement the Board and make her a valuable addition.

Jack Stewart

We started this vote record last year to highlight the legislators who show an understanding of the economic and employment benefits of manufacturing and the cost burdens manufacturers incur to operate in this state. With over 340,000 lost manufacturing jobs in California over the last four years and no state agency in charge of retaining, recruiting and promoting manufacturing, we count on the Legislature to make this state more competitive for manufacturers.

Martin Brodeur

We're going to face one of the top three teams, each first in their division, regardless of where you're at. The odds are if we finish sixth, the Rangers will be our first opponent, so that would be pretty exciting. Knowing what the other teams are, Ottawa and Carolina, I don't think there's one you want to pick over the other.

Julie Gerberding

what we're seeing is well within the normal range for this time of year.

Richard Kogan

What they've done is thoughtful, analytically sound and numerically cautious ... but they haven't put in the huge caveat about the range of uncertainty, ... It's so large that we can't know if the problem is twice as great or a quarter as great as what they're saying.

Troy Johnson

What they're planning on doing is make people honor him when they run the pick and roll. He can spot up in the corner. He has range out to the three point. He's not going to be a guy who is going to make a living in the post.

Woody Harrelson

When we did the press conference in the range there was this interesting-looking guy who asked, 'So, you played a mass murderer, a pornographer and now a lawyer -- is there any depth to which you will not sink in your roles?' I thought it was really funny, as if the most extreme of them was a lawyer,

Alex McLeish

When we heard the Rangers fans erupt, we knew it was within our grasp. I got the most dramatic shiver through my entire body when I heard the Rangers fans.

Fisher DeBerry

We felt like we had some young players that were developing at the free safety position that might have a little bit more range and might give us the potential to get more interceptions back there. That's the main reason.

George Fisher

we believe we are on track to deliver on our previously disclosed range of earnings per share of $2.58 to $2.85 during the second half of this year.

Rick Segal

When we were there, our influence on where things were going was dramatically higher because of the lack of an open-source community, standards bodies, and the inability of developers at-large to communicate. Those days are so over, it's frightening.

Lydia Parnes

What we're looking for is to have small businesses apply standards that are reasonable in light of the information that they're storing. There's no business around that would leave a stack of money on a table, for people to just walk in and take. What we're really saying is that information about consumers, about your customers, is the new currency.

Jack Krebs

What this does is open the door for teachers to bring creationist arguments into the classroom and point to the standards and say it's OK.

Jonathan Eunice

Web-services technology is complicated stuff. You've got all sorts of standards governing security , reliability, and message bundling, and there are 30 or 40 major specifications and standards involved as well as a couple hundred slightly more minor ones. In a considerable number of cases, you will have to learn many of these dialects and it's a bewildering array to learn indeed.

Usually coming out of a recession, you get a real spurt in productivity, which we got, but now things are settling down to what by historical standards are still very strong gains in productivity.

Alan Johnson

We're doing in 90 days what would normally take up to a year or longer. We know there are going to be failures, but we aim to fail early in the process and then fix the problems. We're sticking very clearly to industry standards and testing everything from day one.

Robert Gottlieb

Yes, bad or mediocre ballets can be useful to the dancers and temporarily fun for the audience, but in the long run, the lowering of standards can only erode the art form we all love.

Ken Goldberg

With the market rapidly embracing the benefits of digital signage, and a growing interest in narrowcasting by advertisers, we are excited to announce the 2.0 release of our NEOCAST Media Server software to the marketplace. With the enhanced capabilities, customers will continue to enjoy the market leading digital signage features NEOCAST offers, plus have the needed assurance the solution will continue to evolve as new digital signage standards and demands emerge.

Tim Wulfemeyer

With the intrusion, and maybe rightly so, of legal concerns, medical concerns, business concerns, maybe some of that might be changing sports journalism a little bit - and maybe should change. The sports reporters of today - the good ones, anyway, working for good news organizations - shouldn't be held to any less stringent professional and ethical standards than any other journalist.

Mark Fredrickson

We've always had a policy of qualifying and buying the very best technology that we can put in our systems. We intend to continue to buy disk drives from IBM, contingent on their ability to meet our standards.

Dick Lampman

We've always had a more pragmatic view of our business. You can describe our mission in two words: technology transfer.

Nick Montepara

When we were thinking this through, the emphasis was on what solutions we could enable that would allow us to provide our customers with greater convenience and greater comfort when they?re shopping our stores. We spent a lot of time working with the various businesses before we even touched the technology because I felt it was important not to get confused by any preconceived limitations of what technology can do.

Bill Lovette

We're making this investment to help meet continued, strong demand for refrigerated and pre-cooked bacon. The project is another example of the technology and food safety improvements we've initiated to position our processed meats business for future growth. For example, we've invested almost $15 million in our deli meats plant in Buffalo, N.Y., over the past two years.

Ralph Lauren

We're making a major move of the Internet, and runway.polo.com is a natural extension of both polo.com and our collection business.

Julio Ziegelmann
