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.

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.

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

God was alive when this universe exploded into existence. He was alive when Socrates drank his poison. He was the living God when William Bradford governed Plymouth Colony.

I can easily imagine Socrates in Alexander's place; Alexander in that of Socrates - never

When we get to that point, we'll probably know, ... If it's a tough decision, we'll make a tough decision. But I don't know what we're going to do. Mel has written it down all the way to the end of the season, but there are a lot of scratch-outs.

Fred Goss

We write a very strong script. The dialogue just doesn't exist within it. We give the script to the actors and they have a few days to chew on it. Dialogue is never written down.

Peter Power

We blocked the written procedure in order to seek further clarity on the decision.

Debra Wilson

What's so interesting is that the Aborigine language is all handed down from generation to generation - it's not a written language.
