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.

Rich Miller

We've always said that's probably the widest mound in the league ? and maybe all of baseball. I really think the mound is too wide. That ball by Heintz was hit hard and then it hit the side of the mound. But that's not what lost us the game.

Sean Cotter

We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together.

Randy Fletcher

When we went to the zone, we played well. I don't like to go to the zone, but we've been playing it and playing it fairly well. The one time we went to sleep and they came right up and hit a three. But, we sucked it up and caused some bad shots.

With my goal to make a family drama and also my artistic aspirations of doing things which are a bit edgy, I've gotten a really happy marriage in 'The Weather Man', ... Gore went outside the box and did something personal and artistic, but at the same time it hits all the right notes in terms of children that may be going through a divorce, or a husband and wife dealing with it in a way that's not Pollyanna or saccharine or B.S. I haven't made that many movies like it. I know I've never made a movie as individual as 'The Weather Man' in dealing with family issues.

In addition, our development program continues to proceed with six projects under construction. We are also pleased to announce today an 8.6 % increase in our common stock dividend.

Ken Joyce

We believe that these initiatives, together with improved cash flow from business operations, have enhanced our financial flexibility. We currently have sufficient resources to retire the remaining '06 convertible notes at maturity and based on current forecasts we believe we will have sufficient liquidity available to satisfy the $146 million of 5% convertible notes due March 2007. As previously announced, during the first quarter of 2006 we purchased in the open market $30 million face value of our outstanding $471 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Senior notes due February 2008.

Ken Macha

When we went to 12 games, everybody kind of went into panic mode because scheduling a game is not quite as easy as you might think. Usually, these games are scheduled five, six, seven years in advance.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

When I was on the road with Billy Bragg, it was cool because I was doing the whole thing solo and travel a lot by myself, which I quite like. I mean, I love being with friends, but it's kind of nice having that alone time.

May be the truth is, that one pipe is wholesome, two pipes toothsome, three pipes noisome, four pipes fulsome, five pipes quarrelsome; and that's the some on't.

Charles Lamb

For thy sake, tobacco, I would do anything but die.

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.
