I have a lot of respect for them.

Peter Beutel

U.S. refineries prefer a lighter grade of crude than OPEC can add right now. The big problem is the refining issue.

Ali Rodriguez

There is no problem with crude supply. Prices do not depend exclusively on OPEC,

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.

Tim Saunders

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field.

Rick Spring

We're going to talk to the voters about the issues Colorado cares about.

I would rather be held in contempt than support such a scandalous outcome. I won't testify if it's just against (Blumenthal), ...

We'd like to go out and play for the people that supported us and love the music as much as we have all these years. We want to celebrate what we did and the memory of our friend.

J. Horton

We're making history again. Never before have we supported so many state and federal missions.

What I get really excited about are movies that I connect with emotionally. 'Deliverance' was on TV, and they don't really make movies like that anymore, just simple and scary.

He guides us in all directions ? picks us up when we are down and gives us praise whenever we're doing good.

Paul Judge

Very few supercomputers on Earth have that sort of power. What sort of problems could you apply that threat to? We deal in DoS attacks from thousands of PCs - but millions? Most risk models today assume a finite capability for the adversary, but this completely changes that.

Sean Walsh

Usually it's a workplace action or incident. More times the executives are concerned about unknown third parties, people that may have threatened the company in some way.

What he (Clinton) is telling a witness in a case that is adverse to him is that you do not have to tell the truth,

Phil Sorensen

We expect witnesses and jurors to come in and do their duties as citizens do their job and do justice. And when they are threatened or harassed they are less likely to do that. It erodes everything we're trying to do as prosecutors.
