Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

Dave Tippett

When I was in the IHL there were a few teams that used to do that. Some goaltenders just have a knack for breakaways and it can give your team a little bit of a boost. You have to know your personnel before you can make those changes and obviously Craig thinks Morrison is the guy on breakaways.

We have made great progress in the integration of Bio-logic, including the successful combining of our two sales and marketing organizations.

We're so young, so we're learning as we go. We have so much talent here, but we have two transfers (Tucker and Foster) and some kids without much experience. Perth Amboy bothered us with some pressure in the fourth quarter, which I expected, but we were able to regain our composure.

Fred Matua

Dan Veru

We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties. 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.

with North Korea reneging on a key issue of the new disarmament agreement, U.S. negotiators are trying to keep the six-party talks going because nuclear brinksmanship makes all nations nervous.

Qu Yuan

We feel that we can see a modern lifestyle in those shows. American dramas also show the same kind of lifestyle. We know that South Korea and America have similar political systems and economies. But it's easier to accept that lifestyle from South Koreans because they are culturally closer to us. We feel we can live like them in a few years.

Chris Smith

We're just amazed at the reaction of people when they hear about the Korean study. They're scared of this pandemic, so they're looking for anything to potentially protect themselves.

Matthew Fassler

We remain concerned with the company's longer-term positioning, given its choppy sales showing despite significant store-level investment, and its poor return on capital. The majority of its remodeled stores should have yielded their most significant same-store sales impact in 2002, and we see few tangible growth drivers ahead.

Bob Stoops

We're going to give Rhett Bomar a chance to start and see where he takes it. By no means am I sitting here saying that Paul Thompson is responsible for the way we played Saturday. That's not the case. We had a lot of guys, mostly older guys, play as poorly as I have seen them play. We feel Rhett deserves the same opportunity that Paul had.

Walt Whitman

What a devil art thou, Poverty! How many desires -- how many aspirations after goodness and truth -- how many noble thoughts, loving wishes toward our fellows, beautiful imaginings thou hast crushed under thy heel, without remorse or pause!

Hannah Storm

What about these poor people that couldn't get out of the city. Was there any way to evacuate more of these people before the storm hit? They knew this storm was coming.

Bill Reinsch

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What have they done to you, my poor child?

Joseph Laszlo

What happens to poor AOL if it can't do what it did to dissuade?

When we faced a similar situation after September 11, Democrats and Republicans came together and established an independent, blue-ribbon Commission,

There were no weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein was not involved in the September 11th attack.

Ken Perkins

We've already seen some big disappointments in both Limited and Ann Taylor. Up front, retailers are also facing their most difficult hurdle of the year in the form of a 6.1 percent gain racked up in September last year.
