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

We believe this success is a direct consequence of companies' improved management of the M&A process, from target selection and pricing, to due diligence to implementation.

Chad Harbach

Heat radiated off Henry's face. Salty snot ran down his upper lip. A majestic fart propelled him to the top of Section 12, just at the springing of the stadium's curve.

He was crusing now, darkness be damned, stripping off his sweatshirt and his long underwear top without breaking stride.

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.

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.

Paul Rogers

What he enjoyed doing the most was meeting and greeting people as they came in the door.

Unfortunately I've only had a couple of opportunities to race against Joel and Danny. I do know they're both hard, clean racers and I really respect that. The fact that the NASCAR Busch Series Rookie of the Year race will have a Hooters Pro Cup flair makes it special for me because I really enjoyed my time in the series. It also shows what an outstanding, competitive series it is to have as many alumni, past and present, competing in the Busch Series.

Hilka Klinkenberg

Years ago, I had a wonderful relationship with the doorman in my building, who would always stop and talk to me after I came in from the opera.

Rev. Donaldson

When we went through it, we had nowhere to turn, no one to talk to who had a similar experience. Small, rural churches usually have no money and little or no insurance to rebuild. So we helped form an organization that gives guidance to pastors whose churches have burned.

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.

Richard Miranda

We're meeting to go over laboratory test results and formulate a plan for what we're going to do about this.

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.

Rebecca Asman

We've always had animals around. We have always loved animals, and wanted to help them.

Natalie Cole

Autumn Reeser

When I was little, I was a voracious reader, and that really led me to acting as well. I loved being transported into someone else's life, and that's what reading provided me. I also really love to entertain people.

Matthew Broderick

Dee Bradley Baker

When I was a child, I thought I was going to be a paleontologist because I loved dinosaurs. I loved monster movies and sci-fi, and then 'Star Wars' came out, and I was completely out of my mind with that, with 'Close Encounters,' and then I thought maybe I was going to go into special effects makeup, which I thought was awesome.

Edmund White

When I was a child, I loved 'The Marble Faun' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The reason I liked it was because it had a beautiful binding. When you're a kid, you like books because they're pretty to look at, and this one had a white calfskin cover and gold edges. That was enough to make me love it.

Pat Ivey

We've always felt that this Business 40 effort could be a model for other projects.

When we were dating it was in a Model A. And we've owned one ever since.

Kip Hawley

We're going to say more about the business model when we know more.

Kent Beck

There are musicians who want to make a living making music. There are listeners who want to listen to music. Complicating this relationship is a whole bunch of history: some of the music I want to listen to was made a while ago in a different economy. Some of the models of making a living making music are no longer valid but persist.

Kent Beck

Sheet music, recording, radio, television, cassettes, CD burners, and file sharing have all invalidated, to some extent, the old model of making a living making music.

Kent Beck

A rational model of software is to design it quickly - the economic pressure to improvise presents an interesting challenge.

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.

Richard Boucher

We've always made clear that we felt that Somalia and the situation that existed there made it a potential haven for terrorists.

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.

Callie Widel

When we were sitting on the bench, we were just so excited. We started talking about which one of these is more special. Obviously this one right now is special, but it just feels so good to have two.

Theresa Adams

When we were letting the starters sit on the bench, to see what was going on on the floor ... that's just how the other part of the team feels when they're on the bench, wanting to get in. And after they saw all of that, they came alive to realize that they (would) rather be on the floor than on the bench.

Jimmy Kimmel

When I was on the radio, I used to be able to go a lot farther than I can now. You don't really remember until you're on the radio again, sometimes in your old radio station and sitting with the guys you used to work with and you go, 'Oh yeah, I can't say these things anymore. I'm handcuffed.'

Jerry Colangelo

When it came time to make the decision of who would be sitting right next to me, it was obvious, ... This is going to be a three-year commitment and I will talk one-on-one with every player before any invitations are extended.

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.

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.

Cody Franson

When it come down to it on most nights it is about the player and the teams that work the hardest and not so much a chess match of strategy. Composure is key to playing defense and you cannot allow others to get under your skin and throw you off your game.

Kevin Stallings

We're more athletic, but again, I'm not saying that we're at the same athletic level of all of the teams in our conference. Our skill level also has improved. We've been able to compete a little bit more athletically and it's shown up in some areas of our play.

Eric Kirby

We're making sure we work together across the organization to?create a highly skilled team across the marketplace.

Gerry Fleming

We're getting too cute, too fancy (with passes). That's what happens when you got new guys coming into the lineup that are skilled players playing with guys who are skilled players. Everybody wants to show off and show how great they are and how fancy they can make things happen. As a result, we turned the puck over and we all looked like we had no idea what we were doing.

Elaine Roth

We're going to go on the premise that it could happen. We have to prepare for that. This could happen so that we have to be prepared for that demand for skills and labor.

Richard Lee

What we're having here isn't a demand constraint. It's a situation that nobody predicted. The No. 1 problem is construction costs and lack of skilled labor.

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.

Kirby Sundheim

What they might lack in skills they make up for in heart. They each keep on coming back against tough opponents and want to learn to get better. Both Sean and Brady have great stamina and are beginning to bob and weave and counter punch much better. Sometimes you can take a kid like Brady who has natural talent and move him up to take on fighters with a little more experience.

Maureen Brunt

We're going to soak it all up and hopefully we'll do well.

Julia London

Wouldn't it be great to just exist in another culture and soak it all in? What if I had done that when I was younger? What if I'd met some Highland guy who looked like Jamie Fraser from 'Outlander' and was totally into me? What if I had stayed? That's loosely how this series of short romantic comedies, 'How to Marry a Highlander,' came into being.

Dean Koontz

We're not here to leave a mark, bro. Monuments, legacies, marks - that's where we always go wrong. We're here to revel in the world, to soak in the awesomeness of it, to enjoy the ride. The world's maximum perfect as it is, beauty from horizon to horizon. Any mark any of us tries to leave - hell, it's only graffitti. Any mark anyone leaves is no better than vandalism.

Erin Morgenstern

I go back and forth between input phases where I'm reading a lot or trying to get out and explore the world a bit and soak up inspirations and then I'll get back into output mode and write and write and write.

John McEnroe

But these guys learn so fast now, they sort of soak up the information, they're fearless. Those are the guys who learn from their mistakes and come back strong the next time.

Kevin Hart

Working with a guy like Ice Cube on 'Ride Along,' you learn so much. He's a guy who produces, writes, and directs, so you watch and learn and ask questions. As you go, you learn and figure out what you should and shouldn't do. I do nothing but soak up information.

Warren Sapp

He has all the skills but I've been trying to get him to get better at the little things. He's like a big sponge. You have to slap him around and throw him back in the water every now and then but he'll be right back to soak up some more.

Michael Garner

He loved to ski barefoot and enjoyed making his own skis. He would soak boards in water, and put them on blocks. Then he would drive his model A car up on them and let it sit while they dried. It would form a curve in them. He loved the outdoors.

Charlie Fehrenbach

I don't know what to think yet. We still haven't let it soak in.
