We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties. The stock dropped from 100 in late March, to a low of $21. This is a company with a real business model that had blowout first-quarter earnings. And they are actually going to turn a profit in 2001. Investors went from 'everything Internet is good', to the 'everything Internet is bad' mantra. So now you've got to do your homework and look at individual names and identify the business models that are valid. And I think this is one that can go back to its old high.

What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, and your choice of Scotch in bars--you would meet a beautiful, powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat (or stand still), make you misty, and fly you to the moon (preferably on gossamer wings), where you would live totally satisfied forever.

Sandy Duncan

What I am being assured of is that service will not change. We will have proper coverage for our Borough.

We found out that one address was the source of 200 police calls in one year. That property was public enemy No. 1.

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.

Donna Abbott

We bought the property as much for the tree as for the Victorian house.

We're generally supportive of efforts to make life easier on legitimate marketers. But I don't know if it's a good precedent to set for Internet service providers to charge per message for guaranteed delivery. That doesn't seem like the best way to handle spam.

Gary Peterson

We?re focusing on food service providers that want to put a face on their food, that want local food and want to know exactly where it is from. That?s the niche we?re trying to build upon.

Michelle Abraham

We are seeing a more pronounced dichotomy between full-featured boxes that are used by pay-TV providers to offer other services in addition to satellite TV reception and basic boxes for TV reception only.

We are again positioned to help meet the needs of patients, healthcare providers and customers.

Dave Scott

We're going to go to something that is a reasonable rate.

Kent Beck

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.

Ken Bacon

We would take almost any reasonable action before reaching a point of having to make a decision about destroying an American plane over American air space.

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.

Minoru Tada

U.S. stocks finally appear to be bottoming out, and the yen is coming back to reasonable levels for Japanese exporters. I'd say that's a pretty good signal to buy.

Richard Foreman

We've always respected Israel's right to defend itself, including going after armed groups and armed men in some of these areas. But we've always said they need to do that in a manner which has the utmost care to avoid harm to civilians, particularly when they're conducting operations in heavily populated areas. And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

Richard Miranda

We're meeting to go over laboratory test results and formulate a plan for what we're going to do about this.

Mark Swartzberg

We remain concerned about the company's long-term outlook and management's preparedness to address the challenges. Still, built-in expectations or valuation appear to be low, and 2006 should benefit from the structural elimination of Brazil and a year of disappointing results in 2005.

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.

Jim Harper

What we're seeing is just the start of a trend in which government prosecutors will use (Internet) search results in criminal investigations.

Tracy Egeland

What they've done speaks for itself. They're a team with 18 guys pulling the same way. The results are pretty evident; they're winning a lot more games than they're losing.

Chris Capossela

When we asked people what would you like us to do in the next version of Office, nine times out of 10 people have named something that is already in the product. In Office 12, we are making a much more innovative UI to help you get better results faster.

When we have done our best, we should wait the results in peace

Eric Thurston

When we were there at the beginning of the year, they handed it to us pretty good. We have to make sure we come out, play well and play smart. We have to be very strong in our own end. Defensive zone coverage is going to be key.

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.

Cedric Redmond

When we were going into the locker room at halftime, we heard some fans saying that we're going to fall apart in the second half. We wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

Eli Juarez

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.

Gary McClure

You don't like anybody to beat you too much. I don't have a long memory. And as an athlete, you can't have too long of a memory. You've got to move on. I can sure remember last year though, because we played two of our worst games against them. ... But it's good to bounce back and get a win tonight. It's good to beat a good club." ()

Ken Warwick

We've asked this question ourselves time and time again.

Joan Berry

We've asked for a meeting with the sheriff numerous times, and he never has any time or even the courtesy to return my phone calls. This is very upsetting to me.

Brian Hill

We've always said there's something better down the road waiting for you. It wasn't the right time or the right place.

Scott Rolen

We've always had a tough time playing them.

Andy Watson

We've always had a plan. As the years go along, you revise it every year, every six months or as needed. Every time there's a structure change, you have to update the plan, and with environmental changes.

Brian Cashman

We've always considered Roger a Yankee. If he decides to play, he'll give us the courtesy of an audience. We'll have to take a look at it when the time comes.

Dan Beck

We've always had an aggressive e-commerce strategy. Since our first Web site in 1994, we realized a Web site was more than just a corporate brochure. It had to be an advanced business tool providing everything companies need to design, print and manage their documents online.

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.

Mike Benson

When we built the site for Oceanic Airlines, we wanted to do something that was different from all the other TV show sites.

Cal DuBrock

What happens when hunters are doing all they can and it's still not enough? Are there other tools we can give them? Or do we have to consider other options? Those are things we're looking at.

We found that a lot of people were using advanced scripting, multiple files and other advanced tools but don't think of themselves as professional developers. So we repositioned the product and added more stuff for customization--more tool tips and custom menus.

Ron Perry

We found out that this is a big issue when we started working on another personalization tool that infringed on privacy. We weren't comfortable with the amount of information given out, and we found the solution worked with a lot of things. We reached the conclusion that we could solve the problem for a lot of companies.

Jim Collins

Web hosting was the first product in Affinity's portfolio, and it's still a very important part of our business; that's why we continue to strive to create solutions based on the most advanced hosting technology at an affordable price. However, we recognize the need to offer much more than just hosting to satisfy the needs of today's developer, which is why Gate.com also provides a full suite of advanced tools and web services.

Greg Scott

We believe we understand the biotechnology industry better than most. With our combined scientific, financial and investment expertise, and our inside knowledge of this complex industry, we think we have the best tools to separate the winners from the losers.

Clare Short

We remain concerned that refugees in Macedonia are being forced onto planes and buses. This is unacceptable. We understand Macedonian concerns and will provide support to Macedonia, provided it complies with international rights and norms in its treatment of refugees.

Dan Glickman

We're spending today, depending upon which agency of government, significantly more money on fire preparedness and treatment than we were spending in 1993, ...

Barbara Smith

We would run a road, we would create a pad and we would run a pipe, so if we ever did need a treatment system and did need to hook up, we would be ready.

Jill Levenson

What happens is that these guys are being pushed farther and farther into rural communities, where they have less access to the treatment in mental health they need, less access to employment opportunities . . . and they may be more difficult to monitor and supervise,

Jill Levenson

We are getting a little tired of this kind of Kafkaesque treatment of people, where vague allegations are made and actions are taken against individuals and organizations,

John Wagner

What's new here is not the use of umbilical cord blood in the treatment of a life-threatening disease, but it's the way the transplant was engineered and the way the baby was conceived.

Kevin Lewis

Unfortunately, less than five percent of people diagnosed with cancer will be treated through enrollment in a clinical trial. Our organization is very supportive of the Coalition and its efforts to accelerate research. We believe that in recent years patients have received better treatment options in trials, and if we can educate people about clinical trials I am confident that we can increase enrollment in these high-priority colon cancer trials.

John Tesh

Benny Hinn

When I taught the little gods doctrine, I was using Scriptures that didn't fit.

Phil Klay

We're so used to using military terminology in civilian speech that we forget those terms might mean something very specific.

David Paulson

We're so impressed with the state we're using it as a model (for future disasters), ... It was something we've not seen in a long time. There was a unified system and the sharing of information.

Brad Wilson

What we're seeing is a great deal of customization on country and industry levels. When Microsoft was developing its CRM, it made sure that it was built on a Web services architecture so that it can be easily adapted to specific local needs and requirements. We don't ship an out-of-the-box, property-management application, for instance, but those in real estate using the software can easily add apartment information without adding programming code.

Michael Rains

What we're saying is, who are the real cheaters? They are the ones who are using these illegally obtained materials.

David Benelli

What they told me ... is they feel they were justified in their actions and they were using the amount of force necessary to overcome the situation.

Steve Adams

What they're doing is simply using our fax and voice broadcasting systems to deliver one message to all these different places at once so it's a consistent message, it's timely and reaches everybody at the same time.
