Roger Bailey

We're starting our fifth season of competition, and this is the timeframe we expected to see the growth in the series. We had to establish a foothold, and we've done that.

We expect even more cars on the grid when we start the season.

We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.

Mike Turnan

When it came down to opponents, it killed us. We lost to Leland and Pioneer (both of San Jose). Everybody else ahead of us beat them. You really can't argue with that.

Billy Donovan

What they've been able to do this year is great for basketball. Most teams don't get a chance to experience what they've been able to experience.

Donald Rumsfeld

We've always known that there are people who've tried to infiltrate the various security forces and get to close access to places they ought not to be. There's nothing new about that that I know of.

We've always talked about the pressure from the outside and contrasting that with Terrell Suggs . If that's a nickel role, you're talking 15-25 snaps. He's capable of doing more, but we have a lot of assets here to balance that out. If we can use him more, we will.

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!

Carl Safina

When I was in high school in the early 1970s, we knew we were running out of oil; we knew that easy sources were being capped; we knew that diversifying would be much better; we knew that there were terrible dictators and horrible governments that we were enriching who hated us. We knew all that and we did really nothing.

Bernard Lagat

When it comes down to it, I wanted to win wearing this (USA) uniform. I was going to run to my best so that we could win. It wasn't like running against the Kenyans. Today, it would have been nice to beat my old countrymen. At some point, I felt that I let my teammates down.

When it came down to it, there were three teams in the running for second place. The percentage of individual wins for Matt and Josh were higher so they took second.

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.

John Jones

You don't like to do that, because you like to set your finals on the basis of qualifying so your eight fastest kids will be running head-to-head (instead of strictly against the clock), but coaches understand that some things just have to be done.

Bob Collins

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.

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.

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.

Mike Anderson

We're going to first focus on providing the fastest execution with the most functional site we can offer. That will include news, the ability to get real-time quotes and solid price chart histories on equities and mutual funds,

Dan Doctoroff

What we're looking at, as we look ahead a few years, is a default, a half-finished site and a developer who walks away with potentially over half a billion dollars in profits and fees. We simply can't allow that to happen.

Sean Collins

When we came out and saw the entire crowd, it was absolutely packed, and it was an amazing site to walk out to that.

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.

Joe Bailey

When we announced we had signed the agreement with the Orange Bowl to extend the contract for eight to 12 years, we said Dolphins Stadium was going to be the premier site for major sporting events in the U.S.. We're doing everything we can to basically make it a brand-new stadium.

Lance Cutler

Phil Klay

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

Donald Kennedy

We're sort of pondering what they mean by research misbehavior, which is not in anybody's anthology of terms about research impropriety.

Brian Moss

We're so far behind, in terms of what the market demands today, that this is something that needed to be done.

Rick Wagoner

We're going to take some time here, think in terms of 30 to 60 days, to step back and decide the next step in this journey, ... There's interest among others for various forms of transactions. So we'll have options. We just haven't decided yet what makes the most sense for GM. In 30 to 60 days we'll be ready to try again with something that we expect will work this time.

Samuel Bodman

We're going to go through a very challenging time the next six months, is my guess, ... Both in terms of gasoline availability and (prices of) natural gas and heating oil, we're going to have some problems.

Katie Aselton

I'd like to make mistakes on my own dime and not have a herd of people tell me what I'm doing wrong. and I'm also still trying to find and develop my voice as a filmmaker, and I think that's easier to do on your own terms than trying to satisfy a bunch of people that are paying for the movie.

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.

Bill Richardson

What we're saying is that what the Internet needs to do, particularly for them, is to take the power of the Internet, much like you put a magnifying glass in front of the sun, and give them the resources to drive traffic into their stores.

Tyri Squyres

When we are talking about Stewart in Orlando, it doesn't mean much to people there. A good portion of our traffic is coming from there and the Hudson Valley definitely hits home.

D. James

When we did that environmental assessment, there was no train traffic and that has changed.

Denise Garcia

We believe this position will ultimately bode well with its users and will not have a significant impact on current traffic and consequent advertising revenues. We recommend investors take advantage of any declines in the stock price today as an opportunity to buy.

Tom Druhot

We're going to keep that light active until Monday after rush hour. Just because we don't have enough time to let traffic completely adjust.

Jim Struzzi

We're going to have to watch when we close that short section of the bridge. We're going to have to work with the city to monitor those traffic routes.

Al Zollar

With the integration of voice, video and data traffic networks are no longer just pipelines of data. The greater reliance on networks requires a much more real-time approach to network management.

We feel that we've lost an important ally in the dispute over traffic and density.

Matt King

We've always gone to watch shows there. It's a very cool atmosphere.

Eli Juarez

When we were down by 19 I'm sure people left to go watch the other game. It came down to earning some respect. We decided to go out and leave everything on the floor. I think the kids earned that respect with their effort.

John Bell

When I was mixing the album I was just cheering it on, ... I was actually getting to put myself in a position of observation of listening to the band, watching it, experiencing it probably closer to a fan thing than I've ever had the ability to do, or that I've ever let myself do. And I was just like, yeah, George is getting it on. And that's what you want for anybody's performance.

Todd Solondz

When I was making Storytelling, I couldn't watch while the violent sex scene between the student and the professor was being shot. It was too intense.

Chelsea Peretti

When I was in New York, I got to see Joan Rivers do an hour of material, and it blew my mind. I don't remember how old she was at the time, but she just had this edgy hour that had so much funny stuff in it, and she was so fearless. If you only watch her on the red carpet, you don't get a sense of what a legendary standup comedian she is.

Dan Harmon

When I was a kid I never knew the difference between a sitcom and a drama. I just knew what my parents were watching and what was making them happy.

You don't laugh about your fellow professionals. But, for sure, I'm going to watch and I'm going to compare what I did and what they're doing or what they can do.

Don Marshall

We're so excited to be able to provide this kind of experience for both the community and visitors to the Chattanooga area. Not only is it the world's largest single screen outdoor theater, but where else can you park your car, throw a Frisbee for a little while and then relax and watch a movie? It's going to be incredible!

Todd Coffey

We're so close to Atlanta. We used to come down here and watch Braves games,

Bob Collins

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. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

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.

M. Wolfe

We've always taken pride in having a convenient, interactive Web site, and the new design follows through on those initiatives.

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.

John Battelle

When it broke out in the mid 1990s, the web was society's first at-scale digital artifact. It spread in orders of ten, first thousands, then millions, then hundreds of millions of pages - and on it went, to the billions it now encompasses.

Chris Harris

We're so excited to have EDGE here in Providence. Finally -- we'll have a website that can reveal all that our city has to offer.

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.

Marcia Hellman

When we came in, we had over 100 orders (from the store's Web site) waiting. Usually, we have maybe 20 Steelers orders.

Lance Cutler

When we find really good ones, we'll post them on our Web site so restaurateurs can consider adding them to their list.

Ron Brown

We've appointed a committee to look at our needs. We post the meetings and the public is welcome to come and voice their opinion. The public is always welcome. We need to find enough property where we can build as we need. We'll get it done.

B. F. Skinner

We respect the prerogative of debate organizers to conduct the debate sponsors as they see fit. We would welcome Russ Potts if the organizers wanted to invite him.

Jim Peterson

We would welcome the decision to repeal the Byrd amendment. But we strongly maintain that the Byrd amendment should be eliminated immediately. The WTO ruling was clear.

Ian Wilmut

We would welcome any rules for an international agreement of any kind to prohibit this work. I think you shouldn't underestimate the difficulties of this research,

Rick Wagoner

We would welcome a more proactive role from elected officials at the national and state levels in broad-based strategies to address the U.S. health care crisis.

Joseph Roth

We go where the location works for our customers and our store operations. We were not lured. We go where the location is attractive. If we wanted to go to places where things were free, we would be somewhere else. . . . If we can secure some assistance from a local municipality, we are always welcome to it, but it does not determine where within the market we go.

John Thomas

We find it disturbing that the networks in question seem to have no problem exploiting gay persons through mindless comedies or titillating dramas, but when it comes to a church's loving welcome of committed gay couples, that's where they draw the line.

Mark Oaten

We broadly welcome the use of powers to deport people, as long as the individuals involved have a right to appeal and the case for deportation is reasonable,

Ed Rendell

We believe we're ready for them, ... We wanted to make sure we were ready before anybody came. We want the people of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to welcome them as folks who have been through hell in the last week. We want to show them a little bit of Western Pennsylvania heaven when they get here.
