Kevin Steele

We're going to play these games in 2006. By that I mean, they're not freshmen anymore. When you play a freshman in the first or second game of the year, you kind of watch with a hand over one eye. This far along in the season, they're athletic enough, they're smart enough and they're tough enough.

When I was playing and practicing in that heat in July and August in Miami with shoulder pads on, it just vaporized me, ... Shula would always come over and look at me and say, 'Where are you? I know you're not here. You're just on automatic pilot.' I was up here in my mind, fishing in a stream.

Pete Witte

We found out that one address was the source of 200 police calls in one year. That property was public enemy No. 1. When the city went inside, they found an illegal auto repair shop, mattresses in a storage section of the building that had condoms and needles all over them. We got the building emptied out, the city used Community Development Block Grant money to buy it and now it's on the road to demolition. The end of the tunnel is near.

Ben Bernanke

We benefit from foreign direct investment. Many Americans are employed by foreign companies with plants in the United States, for example in the automobile industry. So, trade is a two way street.

But, I think, we need to be careful not to embrace economic isolationism.

Chris Brown

I tried to stay away from the Euro beats, and not go totally pop. Instead, I wanted to take the Quincy Jones approach. The record pays homage to the Stevie Wonders, the Michael Jacksons, the Sam Cookes. I wanted to put that classic essence of R&B and soul with the new age of music now. There’s a lot of live instruments, and a lot less Auto-Tune. I really wanted to demonstrate my vocal ability, creating the vibe of me singing along with a band.

Riki Lindhome

The only autograph I ever got, which I do not have anymore, was Matthew Fox when he was on 'Party Of Five.' I was in high school, and he came to our local amusement park, and I stood in line and got an autograph.

We've always felt that this Business 40 effort could be a model for other projects.

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.

Charles Bullock

When I was out looking at different degrees, I felt it was the best degree to prepare me for any type of position in business with the exception of maybe marketing. The language of business is accounting.

Stephen Ward

We've always wanted to compete directly with Dell. Since we announced this merger, we have taken customers away from Dell in every geographic region. We have got the clearest channel practices of anyone in the industry. We have no change in our strategy, in our partners and our channel.

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.

David Singer

Jeff Cook

We're going to grow where our customers want us to. And right now we're in both places.

Sumit Sadana

We're going to first and foremost start working with customers to commercialize the technology, that's the first priority, and to the extent that we can find companies in complementary markets, who don't compete with us head to head, we may look at licensing agreements with them.

Allen Staggers

What they will determine is what needs to be connected electrically that does the most customers the most good.

Dan Moore

When we began to think about our clients' interests, we discovered a common passion for motorcycles. Therefore, we created an event that is centered on that common passion. This passion for riding, coupled with the need to learn about the latest models of John Deere equipment has led to our employees, vendors and customers having a fantastic day together.

Larry Wachtel

When we arrive on Monday, we may or may not know the full extent of Hurricane Rita. The stock market can attempt to discount what is discernible, but when it comes to acts of nature, it can only make assumptions.

Lynn Collins

We can do a lot with change drives, too. In some causes it is better because we can buy things at a discount and without tax.

Kevin Browne

Usually, history suggests that the others would have to match their pricing to be competitive with the given market. Discount airlines in the past have caused that to take place, and I don't see any reason that this wouldn't cause the same adjustment within the marketplace.

Chang-Rae Lee

Do not discount the psychic warmth of the hive.

Dave Fogarty

The people who come downtown to go to the repertory theater or the Aurora or Anna's Jazz Club are not doing more than eating in restaurants. Ross is a discount clothing chain, and it's the most visible store in the downtown area right now. We'd like to have more to offer.

Andrew Neff

We still see IBM attractively valued at a 13 percent discount to S&P multiple.

Lori Wachs

There is no question it is a very different mindset. The one wants fashion first and the other is a discount shopper.

Michael Gregory

We're seeing signs that consumers are starting to feel the impact of persistently high gas prices. As prices stay high we're going to see the impact broaden from discount to more mainstream retailers.

Christopher Dodd

We've tried to discount what I call the 'Y2K survivalist mentality' -- somehow that this is going to be Armageddon,

Carol Lear

One of the main comments that I've heard regarding this issue is parents and educators saying that they are unwilling or discouraged from working together because of the nature of this legislation.

Ricardo Semler

One of the things that is very silly - and I hear from educators all the time - is that schools essentially teach kids to learn. They don't need school for that. Learning is what they do best.

Doug Reynolds

We are extremely pleased to reduce rates for educators who give so much to our community. The facts prove that teachers are a better insurance risk with fewer claims, so we are passing the savings along by reducing their rates. We've also increased our auto discount for customers who have other lines of business with us, such as life or homeowner insurance or an annuity.

Craig Barrett

The pace of technology innovation is accelerating. The investment demonstrates the company's long-term commitments and builds on the foundation we created during the last ten years.

Mike Jackson

It is critical that the educators and academic programs are recognized for their excellence and innovation in preparing future professionals. Their work not only benefits the overall industry, but it shapes the future of the document management and communications marketplace as well.

Stephen Hall

It is fitting and proper that we continue to honor our town fathers such as Briscoe, and it would be worthwhile if our current educators talked to their students about the man whose name currently adorns their place of learning,

Margaret Spellings

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the students and educators at these schools, ... We're committed to doing everything we can to help these communities rebuild and to help these students get back to school as quickly as possible.

Tom's financial expertise was extremely important in our business. He got us through some tough times and I selfishly wanted him to come back to us.

Rick Foster

Tom Scully sent an e-mail directing that we not respond to these requests and warning that the consequences of insubordination were extremely severe, ... I took that to mean that if I sent the responses, they would go ahead and fire me.

Darren Shaw

We remain unconvinced that an acquirer would be interested in buying/merging with Hanson, unless the asbestos liabilities were capped in law. We continue to believe that the probability of asbestos reform becoming law in 2006 is extremely thin.

Katie Lowes

I went to NYU Tisch for undergrad, and it was amazing. My life then was extremely experimental with acting. I did crazy theater where we would be rolling around on the floor. I would be playing grandmothers, and clowns, and all this crazy stuff. Then I would be doing Shakespeare eight hours a day.

Don Waddell

When we call up players, we don't call them up just to sit on the bench. We expect them to contribute to our team's success right away. This season has been no exception. I'm extremely proud of the overall success the Gladiators have enjoyed and the quality players that Jeff and Steve have produced.

Marty Hurney

What he does for us on the field, as well as his leadership he brings in the locker room is important. He has really helped out working with all of the other backs and made them better. He's extremely valuable to us and we think he can still help us out in that area.

Don Brownlee

We found mineral grains that are considered very high-temperature minerals -- they normally form under extremely high temperature conditions. And yet they were collected in a comet, the Siberia of the solar system.

William Rice

Web sites are extremely important to the travel industry. Companies can benefit from the independent evaluation recognition of their online efforts that the award judges provide. That is the goal of the WebAward Competition - to provide a forum to recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing some of the most effective websites on the Net today.

William Rice

Web sites are extremely important to the technology industry, ... Companies can benefit from the independent evaluation recognition of their online efforts that the award judges provide. That is the goal of the WebAward Competition - to provide a forum to recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing some of the most effective websites on the Net today.

Hilary Rosen

We remain confident that the (9th U.S. Circuit) Court will ultimately affirm once it has had an opportunity to review the facts and the law.

Kim Bauer

What historical purpose would it serve? It (wouldn't) change the facts of how he became a great president. I would fall on the side of leaving President Lincoln alone.

Bob Phillips

What's stunning about their ability to raise reasonable doubt there is that the facts clearly show that he intentionally slit her throat despite his jailhouse confession to the contrary. Somehow Brittain and Williams raised enough reasonable doubt on that question to avoid the needle.

Ed Martin

What's missing in all this is DeLay is getting us to not talk about the facts in the case one more day. They don't want to deal with the charges. They are shopping for a friendly judge.

Rep. Caruso

We're going to look at the Elections Enforcement Commission, how they operated, what they did with the governor's campaign and that may open facts and information beyond just the Elections Enforcement Commission ? issues such as were they pressured into making a settlement agreement.

Christopher Shays

We're going to let the facts go where they go,

Michael Baigent

Unfortunately, in this case, there are no facts.

Edward Vogel

We're filled with all sorts of facts about things that have happened in our lives, and there's no seeming end to it.

Brian Ross

We regard it here as reliable. It always has an edge, but it's backed up with facts, and this is another example. I asked O'Connor today why he went to Vanity Fair , and he said he wanted somebody that was credible with a good reputation and would maybe push it a little bit. He said he found that in Vanity Fair .

Jason Lamb

We're making good progress, but we have a ways to go. We are making fewer mistakes, the guys are really hustling and we are getting more confidence.

Michele Waslin

We're spending more and more money with fewer results.

Rally Caparas

Whenever possible, travelers should use alternate airports, which typically experience shorter and fewer delays.

Ed Schilling

We had 100 kids in each age group and, when the coaches spoke, the players' eyes never left us. These kids were practicing eight hours a day doing all the drills we used to do in the U.S. And it has paid results. Lithuania is a nation the size of Indiana with probably fewer people and they got back-to-back silver medals in the Olympics. That experience got us motivated to teach fundamentals.

Andrew Lochart

What makes it a problem, regardless of why, is that smaller companies are the ones who have fewer defenses in place. There are no large dedicated IT staffs in place, or large budgets for technology, so it's a double whammy.

Glenn Tilton

United will have to address the issue of the competition from low-cost carriers, ... United is going to have to broaden our appeal to more customers than simply high-end customers. United is going to have understand that, in the aggregate, there are fewer customers out there, so we have to appeal to them all.

Roberta Gassman

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.

Robert Barry

We reiterate our concern about the profit drag from selling fewer SUVs.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

The higher you go, the fewer women there are.

Elliot Diringer

We've asked the OPEC nations to keep an open mind about increased oil production, and we continue to believe an increase is good for both producing and consuming nations.

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.

David Singer

Tom's has a strong heritage and solid reputation in the snack food business, and we believe that this opportunity will make our company stronger. The transaction developed quickly, and we are still developing our plans. In the near term we intend to continue business as usual while we develop a plan to effectively meet the needs of our customers and consumers. We are confident that the combination of increased sales and operating synergies will create value for Lance, Inc. stockholders.

James Ritterbusch

We're going to see refineries further ramp up gasoline production as they come back on line. Concerns about gasoline will fade as this results in increased stocks.

Kent Beck

There is a strong movement towards increased accountability for software developers and software development organizations.

Marc Levesque

What we're seeing in terms of currency movements - and it will probably continue at least over the near-term - is a shift in global monetary policy expectations. There's a gearing-down of expectations for Fed tightening, coupled with increased tightening expectations elsewhere.

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.

Mike Strecker

When we got our students back, the population of New Orleans increased by 10 to 20 percent. A lot of businesses pegged their openings to the return of our students. We expect the students to be a big part of rebuilding.

David Ludwig

We found that for every additional serving per day of soft drink consumed, the risk of becoming obese increased by about 50 percent.

Rev. Donaldson

When we went through it, we had nowhere to turn, no one to talk to who had a similar experience. Small, rural churches usually have no money and little or no insurance to rebuild. So we helped form an organization that gives guidance to pastors whose churches have burned.

Gregg Laskoski

You don't know with 100 percent certainty that you'll be coming back to the home you left. So you should take essential papers, insurance policies, both home and auto, and any other irreplaceable items, including family photos. Keep them in an appropriate watertight container.

Allen Sinai

What we're seeing is aggressive taking out of insurance by the Federal Reserve to make sure we don't have anything like the 1920s or 30s happen.

Ben Carlson

What we're looking at right now (with rising insurance costs) has upset the apple cart, and they're putting their nose to the grindstone and taking on some financial responsibility they haven't had to do in the past.

Jason Lamb

When we bought this place we were told this wasn't considered a flood zone. So if I had to pay more for insurance I would be a little upset.

Donald Trump

When we checked with the title insurance company, they said we had ... a complete right to that entrance and exit.

Susan Robertson

We felt like last year we made a statement and obviously the governor has heard our voice and is willing to listen. People finally understand that health insurance is a priority to teachers and state employees.

Norman Black

We believe we followed every state regulation and rule interpretation and application at the time we were exiting the insurance business.

Robert Hartwig

Unless there is some rationalization of the price of insurance relative to the risk assumed, there will be continued problems of availability.

James Loney

When we were released I was sure I could jump right back into ordinary life and that's what I wanted the most, but I'm afraid no such luck. When I can get through an ordinary day without shaking legs and a pounding heart, I think that will be a sign that I can start to tell my story.

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.

Dan Jacobs

When we went to Minnesota, I had 15 people I've never met before in my life come up to me and ask, 'So, this is Missy, eh?'

Allan Ray

When I was on that floor and couldn't see anything, that was one of the first things I was thinking about, I'd probably be blind. I thought I was. I couldn't see anything. Everything was burning. Pretty much, my life just flashed in front of me.

Autumn Reeser

When I was little, I was a voracious reader, and that really led me to acting as well. I loved being transported into someone else's life, and that's what reading provided me. I also really love to entertain people.

Philippe Petit

When I was learning by myself, despite my parents, despite my teachers, despite society, when I was fighting for building my life as a young wire walker at age 16, I didn't have feelings, I had certainties.

Johnathan Frakes

When I was just acting on the show, I learned my lines, went to sleep, then woke up and went to work. Now it's sort of become an obsession. I like the success. I'm thrilled with the way things have gone-but my life was simpler 10 years ago.

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!

Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song.

Adam Gollner

We respect Band Aid's ability to raise so much money for relief efforts, but their lyrics seem so misguided and inappropriate. Africa isn't a land 'where nothing ever grows' and 'no rain nor river flows.' And how are lines such as, 'Well, tonight, thank God it's them instead of you' supposed to be helpful?

Lorenzo Carmon

We're going to the end of the lines and working in. There's still design to be done, but if folks aren't interested, we'll scale the project back.

Dennis Phillips

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,

Fred Goss

We write a very strong script. The dialogue just doesn't exist within it. We give the script to the actors and they have a few days to chew on it. Dialogue is never written down. It's generated while we're shooting. We'll throw the actors a line and see where they take it. They bring lines of their own.

Brad Dean

We grew because we offered more for your money. Today, everyone offers that, from cruise lines to casinos. ... Everybody is selling value for the money and packaging it with convenience. It's got to be more than simply price.

Jon Heacock

We felt like we needed to bolster our lines on both sides. I felt like we did that.

Lee Tien

What's offensive to me is that you have the government selling Registered Traveler on the basis that we will get you through security lines faster, when they created the inconvenience on dubious grounds in the first place.

Paul Gaustad

With the lines we have, we really just want to contribute as much as we can. I think it's the strength of our team, and it shows our character.

John Van Hamersveld

With the Larry Bertlemann portrait, I started with a photograph that I could use for it. I built the drawing's identity to serve as a graphic identity. After a number of sketches, I went into my own abstract vernacular of drawn lines and shapes to create the composition for the poster design.

Saleem Cheeks

We've always been urging the Senate to join the Assembly in passing it.

Matt Sayers

Tomorrow, you might see a passing shower around the midday.

Rafer Alston

We're going to go to Yao and go to Yao and go to Yao. We have to knock down open shots when Yao is drawing double-teams and triple-teams and he's passing the ball out. We have to find a way to knock down open shots for him.

Bret Meyer

We're going to get as many people involved in the passing game as we can. We can't throw every ball to Blythe and (Jon) Davis.

Don Shula

When we got them together for the first time on the field, ... and had Woodley throwing on one side to a group of receivers and Marino on the other, it was so evident the ability Dan had throwing the football. Woodley was an athlete playing quarterback and Marino was a quarterback playing quarterback. You could just look at it and see, even in the simplest passing drills, that Marino had that great skill.

Chuck Anderson

We had 10 dropped passes. Shane easily could have had 400 passing yards. And that's no surprise at all. He's an unbelievable athlete.

Russell Robinson

We both feed off of each other. We're both aggressive guards. We both like to gamble a little bit. We like to get steals, get up in passing lanes and things like that. He covers for me, and I cover for him, and I think we do a great job of that.

Todd Blythe

We're going to have to mix up our passing game. This definitely will be the best secondary we'll have faced.

Keola Nobriga

We're going to have to establish some kind of passing game. We've got guys who are ready to make some plays. Their safeties come up really well on the run. That's an opportunity for us to do some play action and go over the top.

Bethany Irwin

We've always had the offense, it's just defensively we had to turn it up a little bit better. We held them to 16 points at halftime, which I was pretty pleased about.

Jamie Mayne

When we went up there, they beat us by like 27, so I was pleased with the way we played. This week we concentrated on defense and being in their face and never giving them an open look.

Mike Drews

We're making progress, we're getting better. Our kids are fighting and working hard, and they'll keep doing that. I'm pleased with our effort.

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.

P. J. Harvey

When we closed there was a general feeling of shock and dismay. But people will be pleased with what has happened. I'm looking forward to watching this sleeping giant wake up.

Jon Abernathy

We wrestled a very solid match. We're pleased with our progress and we have two weeks of practice to sharpen up before the VOL Tournament.

Christian Winthrop

We've always maintained that the whole premise of her candidacy has been silly. Ms. McFarland is not a serious candidate and once again she's proved it.

John Foley

We've always been second in Rochester behind Nazareth in lacrosse, but I think we've proven we can play with them.

R. Ingram

When we were 1-6, all we focused on was that we were better than that. We knew it; we just had to prove it. We've come a long way and it's great to be back to .500 and to know we'll get a home game in the tournament.

Jarvis Cocker

When I was in Pulp, I actively did more TV stuff because that was during the Great Britpop Wars, and it seemed important to prove that indie people could speak. That war doesn't exist anymore.

Jeff Hulse

When it comes down to that moment when we play, we have something to prove every game. When it comes to that game, we'll have something to prove, too, and it'll have great meaning to us.

Joyce Kesse

We remain optimistic and hopeful, and until you can prove otherwise, we'll continue to remain hopeful.

Mike Barnes

We're going to the Department of Justice because we feel the investigation was tainted. We have documentation and pictures that prove these same officers have been abusive in the past.

Andy Leggio

We're going to take a shot at it. I think she deserves it. She hasn't run with that caliber of horse. We're going to give her a chance to prove herself. She's won every distance I've run her.

Ralph Nader

We're going to prove them wrong in November,

John Kosar

We're going to see a new, emerging period of higher long-term interest rates that are going to start now, and I believe they're going to carry on for some time.

Kenneth Fisher

Italians have always had a high savings rate. They love putting their money into their own government bonds - even more than in houses, stocks and gold. The higher rates climb, the happier they are to invest. So if austerity plans drive rates up, it's music to Italian ears.

Douglas Cliggott

What we're seeing in Asia now is that rates of growth are slowing down. It's Latin America where you see growth picking up.

Michael Conway

Whenever rates go up a little bit, some people aren't going to qualify. But buyers are better off because of the balanced market. That helps them more than slightly higher rates hurt them.

Doug Porter

What has changed in recent weeks is long-term interest rates across the globe are starting to feel the heat from Fed tightening and now from rate hikes from all kinds of quarters, including Japan and Europe which they really hadn't had to deal with before.

Samah Haggag

We found it interesting that some states that historically have low rates of bankruptcy have high propensities. I think some of it's going to be related to the economic changes. For states to see that kind of difference, some things have changed.

Robert Long

We got whacked on the Fed comments (Wednesday), but that reaction doesn't make sense, ... Don't you think if the Fed is hinting that interest rates will go up sooner, that suggests the economy is doing well? I think the comments bode well for the GDP (gross domestic product) report tomorrow and next week's monthly employment report.

Andy Ellis

We believe we have the tools in place to stay on top these metrics going forward. We are starting the next phase of our service and quality initiative, which is focused on delivering faster project completion rates while maintaining our high quality standards.

Jan Freitag

What's noteworthy is the rates did not fall when the demand dropped after 9/11. So hotels are now in a great position to grow the rates moving forward.

Randy Honebrink

We've always tried to reduce the number of people getting bit by sharks through education and awareness. We try to get our safety tips out through our Web site and in publications.

David Berkowitz

We're making very good progress, but we're not stopping there. We're working with manufacturers to reduce fat and sodium in things like salad dressing ... and we're going to continue to work to make the food taste as good as it can taste.

Ray Kelly

We're going to slowly reduce our coverage to what it was pre-Oct. 6,

Mike Adams

We've reduced it significantly ... but I don't think we've stopped it completely.

David Henderson

What they will do is capture all kinds of other people in their net and reduce our privacy in the process, ... This is government we are talking about and government tends to use whatever it has.

Steven Gerrard

We are getting good results against the top sides and not slipping up against the smaller ones. We are emerging as challengers for the title. There is still a big gap to reduce but, as the season goes on and we keep getting the results, our confidence will get bigger and bigger.

Bill Dudley

What's really happened is technology has basically favored capital markets over depository institutions because it has reduced the cost of making transactions.

John Scofield

We're going to have to stick to this budget. We're going to have to reduce the defense transfer and we're going to have to drop the gimmicks. That's our starting point and ending point.

Rimas Buinevicius

Universities and corporations lose hours of valuable information each day because it is too big a hassle and too expensive to capture that knowledge as it is exchanged. These large organizations are now realizing how the secure sharing of online presentations can help boost expertise, reduce travel and other costs, and recapture lost productivity. With EX Server software, that information is just a click away. Our enterprise customers tell us they are realizing a competitive advantage as they capture, process and access their most important asset -- organizational knowledge. EX Server software further improves their communication across division, campus or geographical boundaries for these distributed, sometimes global, organizations.

Jane Lubchenco

What has become clear is that if society wants to avoid future disasters, it should do two things ? prevent even greater disruption to the climate system and prepare for the climate changes already set in motion. There is urgency on both fronts, reducing emissions and preparing to adapt.

Scott Sullivan

WorldCom's decision to retire the notes reflects the company's strong liquidity position and positive free cash flow, ... The repayment of these notes is consistent with our stated objective of reducing overall debt.

Sue Kelly

Working toward this goal of helping local businesses grow, I have been an ardent supporter of reducing the tax burden.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Racism should never have happened and so you don't get a cookie for reducing it.

Don Crosby

The other step would be just to start reducing the ambulance staff, even the full-time staff and then cutting down even further the availability and the response time.

Chris Liddell

We've also maintained our focus on working capital, reducing it by NZ$202 million over the last 12 months

Leonard Teitelbaum

We are maintaining our neutral opinion on PPC (No. 2 U.S. poultry producer Pilgrim's Pride Inc.) following the company's comments this morning that it no longer expects to meet its previously announced earnings expectations for either F2006 (ends Sept) or the F2Q. We are reducing our F2006 estimate to $1.20 from $2.20 and are also now estimating a fiscal 2Q loss of $0.30 per share, down from earnings of $0.30 per share.

Michael Dell

We're increasingly applying the Internet to our entire business, from component design to end-user support, in the process making it easier to do business with Dell, enhancing relationships with customers and suppliers and reducing costs for all of us,

Martin Jacques

Following the end of the Cold War, there was much discussion concerning the point of NATO. In the event, it was reinvented as a means of reducing Russia's reach on its western frontiers and seeking to isolate it. Its former East European client states were admitted to NATO, as were the Baltic states.

Salvador Hernandez

You don't know what we suffer just to get here. We can't risk being sent home.

Jim Wicklund

We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07. Visibility remains too good to worry too early, however.

Dan Niles

We remain negative on PCs and semis and believe there is still downside risk to estimates and stock prices.

Robert Barry

We remain confident GM will offer some assistance to Delphi, but bankruptcy risk cannot be ignored. We think GM would find it hard to justify not offering its struggling, former captive supplier, Delphi, some form of assistance.

Alan Foreman

We're starting to find that investors in particular are measuring their risks carefully and are not afraid to put their money to work at this time.

Mark Shapiro

We're so careful in our risk assessments that we may have a better chance of keeping our players on the field. And risk-assessment tools have absolutely gotten better.

Marc Short

What we're really practicing is risk mitigation. You will not be able to say everywhere every city is safe at all times. What you want to say is, are we continually getting safer?

Marge Bartoletti

When we encourage kids to drink, we're putting them at risk of dying.

Kristen Kinley

When we have seen the fire reports increasing, we have recalled those vehicles and replaced those switches. Ford has used the basic switch design in a large number of vehicles and the risk of fire related to the switch is much different in those certain populations that we have recalled.

Doug Steenland

We remain open to exploring various options to attain the needed labor costs savings but we need to resolve the issue quickly.

Kenneth Fisher

Italians have always had a high savings rate. They love putting their money into their own government bonds - even more than in houses, stocks and gold. The higher rates climb, the happier they are to invest. So if austerity plans drive rates up, it's music to Italian ears.

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.

Andy Bryant

We're just not seeing the demand pickup we'd like to see, and we hit a wall on some of the cost savings we were driving for.

Andy Gray

The potential savings achieved by moving to the lower-priced Aspen generic would be massive.

Lawrence Summers

The ongoing task of debt management for the federal government will clearly be very different in the years ahead than it has been in the past, when debt was rapidly increasing, ... With $3.6 trillion in debt outstanding, even a 3 basis point (0.03 percentage point) reduction in federal borrowing costs will ultimately produce savings of more than $1 billion per year.

CEO Luxton

We are pleased to be able to report that the operating loss in the first quarter narrowed significantly over the previous quarter. This reflects a reduction in selling and administrative expenses due to cost savings measures that we have implemented since the fiscal year began. With further cost-savings still to take effect and with a significant increase in new order intake since Dec. 31, we foresee much stronger operating results for the balance of 2006.

Melih Abdulhayoglu

We are pleased to be able to provide Boiling Springs Savings Bank with a first-class Identity and Trust Assurance solution for its online customer base. Our Content Verification Certificate solution will allow Boiling Springs to maintain confidence and trust among its consumers thus increasing online transactional volume as well as build awareness that it is truly a leader in customer-care and security.

Anne Mulcahy

We are aggressively implementing our cost-reduction plans, which will yield more than $1 billion in savings by the end of 2001, ... Since the third quarter of 2000, we have taken actions that account for more than one-third of this target, including the reduction of approximately 2,000 jobs worldwide in the fourth quarter. This activity will intensify with the reduction of 4,000 jobs in the first quarter and additional reductions through the balance of the year.

Sean Payton

When I was introduced last week I said that I wanted to bring teachers in who were looking to work hard, enjoy their work and be part of a team with everyone moving in the same direction. Gary defines that description. Getting him in New Orleans sets the tone for the rest of the additions to my coaching staff.

Christina Fernandez

We're sort of open. A lot of things could have happened in the past I suppose, but everybody always respected what we were doing here, respected other teachers and races, and now it just feels like someone has really broken that trust. We're disappointed.

Bruce Schroeder

What we're really concerned about is we're finding that nearly half the teachers leave in their first five years of teaching.

Tom Woodruff

What we're looking for is not money, but rather their expertise. Their advice, their input into assisting teachers in the classroom to make their instruction more relevant for the students.

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.

Chelsey Richter

When we heard about all this, we were like really disgusted. We wanted to show the school board that we didn't agree with their decision. And we just wanted to let the teachers who were let go know that we cared about them.

Greg Craig

When we have received assurances that Juan Miguel will be able to take custody of his son, but under circumstances that require him to remain in this country for a period of time, we will also be seeking permission for a support group of Elian's classmates, teachers and doctors to come to the United States to help smooth the transition,

Chip Taylor

When we got started, my colleague, Brad Williamson, said that we ought to get schools involved. I was skeptical that school kids could contribute, but we designed something that teachers could use to help students contribute data.

Susan Robertson

We felt like last year we made a statement and obviously the governor has heard our voice and is willing to listen. People finally understand that health insurance is a priority to teachers and state employees.
