What he did was the right thing for him. Unfortunately, it has a negative influence on a lot of other people. Going into professional sports and making the money he's made does not close the option for him to still get a formal education. It does close the option for a kid that does not make it. If I'm some kid from the inner-city who has used athletics to motivate myself and I miss, I have no more options.

For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

You've got to have revenues come through the door and you've got to contain your cost.

Geoffrey Robertson

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Mitchell Hurwitz

When we were making 'Arrested Development,' it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren't getting feedback. The job wasn't paying very well. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.

Mike Miller

When it comes down to it, you can't ever not want to win. So our job right now is to win as many games as possible, and if we're in that fifth spot, that's great, and we if we're in that sixth spot that's great, too.

Vicente Fox

When it comes down to it, for Mexico, the FTAA means being able to go forward toward development, in the fight against poverty, in job creation and economic growth,

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.

Kurt Eichenwald

When it came to dire warnings about Obamacare, the Republicans were the kings of 'swing and a miss.' People would flee the health care industry to avoid Obamacare? Nope - according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, health care gained about 1 million new jobs in preparation for increased demand.

Colin Farrell

When we were kind of forced (by real life sniper murders in the Washington area that were too close to the film's plot) to pull the picture in October (from its Nov. 15 date), he wasn't nearly as big a star as he is today after 'Daredevil' and 'The Recruit.' He's become this hot guy.

Debbie Metz

We found ourselves walking downtown nearly every day last year. That's how we decided we wanted to live downtown.

We graduated five starters and eight kids in all from last year's team (which made its second trip in as many years to the state playoffs). Even with that nearly every kid we have on this year's team played some varsity last season.

With the lowest February unemployment rate in five years, nearly 28,500 more people working and some 5,100 fewer unemployed in Wisconsin than one-year-ago, we have strong evidence that the state's labor market is moving in a positive direction.

With nearly two months of Prozac sales data available, the erosion in prescriptions is the most severe ever for a blockbuster product in our industry,

Mark Boyd

With nearly eighty million baby boomers starting to retire this year, and a large number of them wanting to live where it's warm, someone needed to come up with a solution, so I thought of assembling a group of investors to purchase a cruise ship and convert the cabins to condominiums.

Mark Boyd

With nearly 80 million baby boomers starting to retire this year, and a large number of them wanting to live where it's warm, someone needed to come up with a solution, so I thought of assembling a group of investors to purchase a cruise ship and convert the cabins to condominiums.

Steve Bruce

With my mother being Irish it was a close call. I nearly went, but I decided against it as we were going to be hindered as a club at Manchester United with the five foreigners rule.

Brian Billick

We've always talked about the pressure from the outside and contrasting that with Terrell Suggs . If that's a nickel role, you're talking 15-25 snaps. He's capable of doing more, but we have a lot of assets here to balance that out. If we can use him more, we will.

Dwight Freeman

We're going to play hard and we're going to defend you. We were happy to hold Nick to 14 points, which not many teams are going to be able to do because he's a big-time player.

Tom Lamb

Weymouth forced us to throw the ball and Nick did a great job. He also had two drops that would've been touchdowns. In two games he's thrown 30 passes and only one wasn't a good one.

Perry Florio

We would've put 10 guys in the box if we had to. ... We saved a few goals by chopping and whacking, and the ones that got through Nick was there to stop.

Years ago a friend and fellow writer, Nick Antosca, once made a remark about it being best not to threaten, but to simply act. An effective way of going about things, I think.

Alan Alda

Almost everybody that's well-known gets tagged with a nickname.

Dave Minshall

We want them to get an offer to the table that they can live with. We want a deal that is more than just a nickel and a dime an hour. We want a deal that recognizes that they went without a wage increase for three years.

John Jay

We've already felt the impact of one injury, so losing Nick is another significant blow. This isn't the way the season was supposed to be drawn up for two of our four seniors who have had such an impact on our program.

George Campbell

We've always made it a point to be strong from the goal out. Defense is always a priority, but these kids have offensive talent that can't be denied.

Sean Miller

We're going to try our best to provide as much help to the guy guarding him on that area of the floor. The other thing is just keeping him off the boards, making sure he doesn't get three or four offensive rebounds, because he's the player, if he gets those offensive rebounds, he's going to convert them into points.

Scott Gardiner

We're going to go after them by doing the same things we've talked about all year. And that's tightening up in our own zone, opening it up in the offensive zone like we have been the past month or so, and 60 minutes of effort.

Kendrick Meek

We need to begin an all-out diplomatic offensive on Darfur in order to prepare the way for a peacekeeping force that can ensure protection for the people of Darfur.

Ron Artest

When we are clicking on the offensive end, making shots, you get your teammates involved. That's what I was trying to do tonight.

Jeff Johnson

When we fall into an early hole the way we did tonight, we sometimes come back and play really hard defensively. That wasn't really the case tonight. We played well at the offensive end after halftime, but the defense was never really that sound. That early lead Oswego East built just was more than we could overcome.

Sammy Mejia

When we cut it to three, that was one of the few moments in the game where we were actually being aggressive on the offensive end.

Ben Wallace

When we got out there and are active on the defensive end that allows us to get easy baskets on the offensive end. Taking care of the basketball and getting set defense, that's when we're playing Pistons basketball.

Ron Gardenhire

When we get men into scoring position or on base, it's like we go into defensive mode instead of offensive mode. I don't know how to get guys out of it.

Barry Alvarez

When we win big games, our running backs play well.

Chico Furtado

When we were running our sets and moving the ball, we did well. We got out of control and a little sloppy and they came back on us.

Becky Carlson

When we went to the half-court trap it bothered them and we picked up our defensive intensity. We were able to get some steals. We kept running the offense and got great shots, sometimes they just didn't fall for us but we had a good stretch at the end of the quarter.

Rachel Tucker

When I was in the running for the role of Elphaba, I knew it was important to research and study as much background information as I could, so I got my head stuck into 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire, and I believe I lost many days, weeks, and months reading it - I was captivated!

Carl Safina

When I was in high school in the early 1970s, we knew we were running out of oil; we knew that easy sources were being capped; we knew that diversifying would be much better; we knew that there were terrible dictators and horrible governments that we were enriching who hated us. We knew all that and we did really nothing.

Bernard Lagat

When it comes down to it, I wanted to win wearing this (USA) uniform. I was going to run to my best so that we could win. It wasn't like running against the Kenyans. Today, it would have been nice to beat my old countrymen. At some point, I felt that I let my teammates down.

Rachel Elkins

When it came down to it, there were three teams in the running for second place. The percentage of individual wins for Matt and Josh were higher so they took second.

Paul Gray

When it became obvious that they were one of the teams that we could be playing (in the regional) we made sure to scout a couple of their games. Jared Wood is a solid player. He shoots it well and he gets to the basket. Keegan is real active and is real solid around the basket. And their guard (Freeman) does a nice job of running the team.

John Jones

You don't like to do that, because you like to set your finals on the basis of qualifying so your eight fastest kids will be running head-to-head (instead of strictly against the clock), but coaches understand that some things just have to be done.

Tim Coghlin

We've always thought they were a very skilled team but they're even more skilled than people know. They skate really well, they swarm the puck, the protect they puck well. They all have exceptional puck skills, stick skills, and they compete.

Kevin Stallings

We're more athletic, but again, I'm not saying that we're at the same athletic level of all of the teams in our conference. Our skill level also has improved. We've been able to compete a little bit more athletically and it's shown up in some areas of our play.

Eric Kirby

We're making sure we work together across the organization to?create a highly skilled team across the marketplace.

Gerry Fleming

We're getting too cute, too fancy (with passes). That's what happens when you got new guys coming into the lineup that are skilled players playing with guys who are skilled players. Everybody wants to show off and show how great they are and how fancy they can make things happen. As a result, we turned the puck over and we all looked like we had no idea what we were doing.

Elaine Roth

We're going to go on the premise that it could happen. We have to prepare for that. This could happen so that we have to be prepared for that demand for skills and labor.

Richard Lee

What we're having here isn't a demand constraint. It's a situation that nobody predicted. The No. 1 problem is construction costs and lack of skilled labor.

John Cornyn

What this does is serve our national interest from the standpoint of increased security. It deals with our economic needs in terms of the work, but it also, I think, helps to address some of the root causes of illegal immigration by encouraging people to return with the savings and skills they've acquired in the United States.

Kirby Sundheim

What they might lack in skills they make up for in heart. They each keep on coming back against tough opponents and want to learn to get better. Both Sean and Brady have great stamina and are beginning to bob and weave and counter punch much better. Sometimes you can take a kid like Brady who has natural talent and move him up to take on fighters with a little more experience.

Matt Murphy

When we got her, she had very few skills and she was real uncoordinated. I remember she wore thick, horn-rimmed glasses.
