James Albert

Our fishy ancestors had the anatomy for it.

The Illinois Commerce Commission does not have the legal authority to order a power auction with unlimited rate hikes as the outcome.

Jane Velez-Mitchell

What's it like to figure out you're gay and then begin the process of coming out? Well, for most of my life, I felt doomed. I could imagine no path that would allow me to realize my authentic self. I felt the need to lie, even to myself, insisting: I am straight.

Adam Gollner

We respect Band Aid's ability to raise so much money for relief efforts, but their lyrics seem so misguided and inappropriate.

Patrick Moynihan

We're going to send to the Senate not only the first lady of the land, but she will be the first lady of New York,

Glenn Rummler

When we bumped into Belle, the story is very romantic. She was very involved in society. Belle the name was right. It was just one of those lightning bolt deals.

Phil Jackson

We remind our players that this is something that was a special night in a heated situation but it's not going to be a steady diet for us. The onus on Kobe is to stay inside the team offense. The onus on the players is to pick it up a little bit better.

Mike Mularkey

We're going to play more because we need to be in a rhythm on both sides of the ball, special teams, altogether before we come out of this game. Hopefully, it happens early, but we'll just wait and see.

Jeff Tedford

We're going to play in conference games that are going to be close, and those type of things will come back and haunt you. Special teams had a letdown tonight and we didn't play to our potential.

Chip Williams

What they want to do is drive the line with nine players and make you throw. Their game plan coming in is to score a couple, either off the special teams or a run off the offense, and then shut us out, not allowing us to run.

Hideo Kojima

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.'

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.

Gary Barnett

What makes Jeremy so valuable are his mental toughness and competitiveness,

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.

Jim Ratcliffe

Unions can play a valuable role in large organisations where it is difficult to talk to a thousand people. They can negotiate annual pay awards with management, represent grievance cases, and explain and advise on complicated changes in employment or pension law.

Yvonne Williams

When I was a child, I'd go down to see the water after a storm, just to see it settling down, for reassurance,

Bill Brennan

We remain concerned for the health of the public, and again urge people to heed the signs the city posted warning them to stay out of waters that may be contaminated.

Jeff Swanagan

We respect the water, and use the water. We don't just let it go down the drain. We treat this water like gold. The only water loss is evaporation.

John Marshall

We're going to talk to the voters about the issues Colorado cares about. We don't begrudge him bringing in Eastern Bloc friends, but I suspect that the cowboys down at the coffeehouse in Delta are more interested what the candidates have to say about water and health care than whether or not the president of Poland is backing you.

Paul Hawley

We're going to shoot the video in Spain, and there'll be water involved -- and I'm going to leave it at that.

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,

Erin Delaney

We've basically been playing a similar offense, we run the same offense. The purpose of the junior varsity is to work together. It's not about wins, it's about getting better.

Katie Montgomery

We've barely had enough to go five-on-five, but we're ready to be aggressive and do whatever it takes to win. We've beaten tough teams this season. We know how to double-team and help each other out. We just have to be focused and work hard.

William Daley

We've asked the lawyers to work overnight to draft some documents, and we'll be back in the morning.

David Snowden

We've always worked well within DoD guidelines and of course will continue to do so. We support the directive and all regulations that would protect military members from unscrupulous business practices.

Anthony Dragona

We've always worked cooperatively with the department, and we're only asking for cost of living increases.

Frank Williams

We've always had the vision for developing Cross Bayou. It's a beautiful vision, but it's just a vision. It's going to take a whole lot of money, a whole lot of planning and a whole lot of work to get there.

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.

Aleksey Igudesman

We've always dreamt of a TV series and working in film. When we first sat down to seriously write 'A Little Nightmare Music,' to write something for TV was our original inspiration. But all the stuff we were writing down is not going to work on stage. We had to rewrite it so it would work on the stage.
