We're going to resolve as many of these issues as we possibly can,

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!

Bob Nardelli

Tom Taylor brings decades of company and retail experience to his new role.

When I was a child, there really weren't very many video games, but I do have memories of 'Pong.' Maybe it was 'Pong.' It was a home system in Japan, so maybe it wasn't the real 'Pong.' It was just sort of a Japanese game that was similar to 'Pong.'

Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

Bill Lovette

We're making this investment to help meet continued, strong demand for refrigerated and pre-cooked bacon.

Julio Ziegelmann

We're starting to catch the technology wave and stocks tied to Internet are the stand-outs.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved.

We've always said this is a rebuilding phase that we're in, and we keep trying to acquire assets to help us in that process. In doing that, we also want to secure and help our present.

Juli Inkster

We've always got a good field here, and the course and the facilities are great. We've all enjoyed the experience here. I think it's great that they're trying to work it out to stay.

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game.

We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.

Vince Carter

You don't know what to expect. The only way you can really understand it is just being in it.

Ryan Sanchez

We're starting to click and understand the system.

Tim Whitehead

We're going to pay user fees for water and sewer and it's my understanding the burden of extension lines will be on the shoulders of the developers, not the city,

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.
