Sharon Hess

When we went to talk to those families, we found out that one of the families was originally from Herrin, so we were able to quickly place them in one of our vacant homes in Herrin.

And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one.

Nicholas Burns

We remind the Burundi government and security forces that respect for human rights and peaceful dialogue should be key elements in their efforts to re-establish security in the country.

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've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. 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.

Julie Brough

We're stalled. When you see oil prices back up to their high, you've seen gold hovering around $600 US, people are making some really good money and I think there's a lot of people who are just taking the opportunity to crystallize some gains which is keeping the market at bay a little bit right now.

Alain Vigneault

We're going to take that on a day-to-day basis, it depends on how the groin reacts. He's improved every day that I've seen him. (Tuesday) night was his best game so far. Obviously, he's got a ways to go but that's only going to come with time.

What we're presenting is simply an option to accelerate projects, which is tolls, and get some of these needed highway improvements done quicker.

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.

We're making some of the best academic improvement in the state, and we've got a bureaucratic blunder that we're trying to correct, and the state won't accept the correction.

J. Horton

We're making history again. Never before have we supported so many state and federal missions.

Mathias Kiwanuka

We're starting to figure out what kind of a team we are. We played Florida State well last week, but we still lost. We're not looking for moral victories. We had to come here and win.

Bruce Clark

We're starting all over again in the place where I was most happiest, up here in State College.

Larry Krantz

We respect the rights of Texans to have fun. But people need to realize that everyone pays when the state has to constantly stop what it's doing to repair this kind of damage. It takes away from our other responsibilities like building and maintaining roadways.

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.

We've asked a lot of him being a young player. ... He's been asked to come in and play a major role in a hurry, but he's a very mature kid and he takes coaching terrifically.

John Carr

We've always said controllers are like runways -- it takes three to five years to make a good one,

Dennis Hastert

Tomorrow we will pass a pharmaceutical plan that takes care of the neediest in our society, ... Older Americans deserve financial security and health security.

Brett Tomko

We remember that stuff because it takes us back,

Larry Krantz

We respect the rights of Texans to have fun. But people need to realize that everyone pays when the state has to constantly stop what it's doing to repair this kind of damage. It takes away from our other responsibilities like building and maintaining roadways.

Kathy Griffin

We're so used to seeing celebrities being driven around in limos. I can go to an In-N-Out Burger whenever I want, and no one takes my picture.

Jeff Cole

We're small so the fuel issue isn't as big, because we don't have dump trucks we run, ... we hire that out. It affects our grader but it's not terrible, and the police car uses a combination of township gas and Dandy gas.

Justin Wilson

When we are in full production, the trucks are rolling in and out of the plant all of the time. That's not happening now. They don't have enough people for full production.

Joseph Lowery

When we got to Washington that day and discovered people coming in trucks and buses and on planes, in cars, even some came on bicycles and skates -- we were overwhelmed by that response,

Kim Lawrence

When we first got here, it was just miserable conditions. We had to sleep in our trucks the first night, but as we went along, conditions got better.

Derek Leathers

We're doing everything we can to give them the newest trucks on the road. We think our fleet is one of the newest out there, and that's something drivers appreciate.

Mark Fields

We started introducing clear pricing two years ago. The success of Mustang and Fusion proves that it works. We will bring sticker prices more in line with actual transaction prices and cap 'cash on the hood' rebates as we introduce new cars and trucks into the marketplace. It will protect our margins and consumers, too, through higher resale values.

Justin Dombrowski

With the winds we have today (30-35 mph in Boulder County), you could have fires that could outrace fire trucks trying to chase it. You could have fires that move so fast, you can't get out of the way on time. You could start not just losing a home, but home after home after home.

Richard Thompson

We'd get them back up, and the trash trucks picking up all the debris, would knock them back down.

E. B. White

We are also supposed to get two more trucks with ice and water today, ... But I'm crossing my fingers because I don't know that that will happen since no one from FEMA or MEMA or anybody has bothered to check on the town of Richton. I know the Gulf Coast is devastated, but if we don't take care of our elderly they are going to die and then our town will be devastated.

Marty Heires

When we were alerted of the two undocumented workers - and after consulting with authorities - we shut down the site,

Peter Lee

When we consider that it is small business that drives the economy to have that engine resting on the backs of millions of uninsured workers is a bad proposition for the U.S. economy,

Arnold Schwarzenegger

We can debate over this issue about what to do about the driver's license from here to eternity, ... The bottom line is what we really need to do is work on the problem. What do we do with the undocumented immigrant? What do we do with the people who want to come to the United States? What do we do with employers who need workers from Mexico?

Ebrahim Patel

We can create many local jobs if all retailers were to take advantage of local capacity. We have willing workers and idle industrial capacity.

Mark Horn

We bring together low-income workers and their families on a self-help basis.

U.S. meat and poultry employers put workers at predictable risk of serious physical injury even though the means to avoid such injury are known and feasible, ... In doing so, they violate the right of workers to a safe place of employment.

Attorney Crank

With the large increase in workers in the extractive industries in our state, we've seen a dramatic increase in drug activity.

Buzz Hargrove

We faced one of the most difficult challenges in bargaining that we have in a good many years, ... the Ford workers probably knew that more than anyone, given the amount of downtime they've had, given the uncertainty, the media speculation of workplace closures and layoffs.
