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.

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 a fantastic opening night of our PSL campaign we couldn't have asked for a better situation with Peter Nicol winning the decider to close the evening.

At the end of the evening there was a club full of smiling faces, as well as a very happy manager!

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.

Tim Coghlin

We've always thought they were a very skilled team but they're even more skilled than people know. They skate really well, they swarm the puck, the protect they puck well. They all have exceptional puck skills, stick skills, and they compete.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done.

We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Andrew Bell

What we're seeing is people banking enormous profits in these stocks.

Steve Milunovich

We're expecting a pretty tough first half of the year -- tech profits will be up about 10 percent this year compared to 30 percent last year, ... But by the second half of the year, the economy may brighten, earnings comparisons are easier and we could start to see an easier tech tape.

James Browning

The potential profits are so high there's a win-at-any-cost mentality.

Joseph Battipaglia

The positive tone has more to do with the economic data that showed some signs of life in the economy. We've got through the Enron debacle and some selling that represented investors looking to lock in profits earlier on. Now we're starting to get a serious picture of what next year looks like, and it's probably the first serious step toward an upward move in the market.

Gunter Thielen

We are prepared for an IPO. Bertelsmann has developed strongly in the last years and increased its profits considerably.

When you turn the ball over for a touchdown, when you have a blocked field goal for a touchdown and an interception that directly led to a score -- we have to eliminate those mistakes. It is a shame because I thought we played well enough to win.

James Curtis

What's really common is that all these people are where they don't want to be. They're suing someone whom they, for some reason or another, had a good relationship with. Now the relationship is broken down so severely that all they can do is to take this person to court to try to get their attention. It just manifests itself in the form of a lawsuit.

Bruce Campbell

The perception was it was a college movie, but it really wasn't, ... It was a completely professional venture where we formed a limited partnership and gave out shares. It was all above board. And we're so glad it was, because 25 years later we can still keep track of it. No one's suing anyone because we all know what happened.

Kurt Vonnegut

I'm eighty-three and I've been smoking since I was eleven. I'm suing the cigarette company because it promised to kill me and it hasn't.

Rene Auberjonois

I worked with my son when he was much younger; we did L.A. Law together, where I played his father and he played a kid who was suing his father for alienation of affection or something. It was great.

Ian Ritchie

I think it's a great shame they are suing a group of people who put all the profits of the event back into tennis. We think it's heavy handed that the action also includes all the individual members of the club.
