A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Italians have always had a high savings rate. They love putting their money into their own government bonds - even more than in houses, stocks and gold. The higher rates climb, the happier they are to invest. So if austerity plans drive rates up, it's music to Italian ears.

We'll have to deal with that as we go, we just have so much money to spend, it's always a challenge. ... Budgets are just a projection and it's so volatile, it's just hard to plan. If things rise in one area, we'll just have to make up with it in another.

Don Baylor

We're going to rise or fall as a state together.

Kenneth Fisher

If you've taken Econ 101, you know that the quantity of money rises only when the banking system makes a net loan.

Kenneth Fisher

Francesca Dominici

When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28 percent increase in admissions for each 10 microgram per cubic meter increase in fine particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects' response.

Francesca Dominici

When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28% increase in admissions for each 10 mg per cubic meter increase in fine-particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine-particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects? response.

Gerard Way

When we first started out I had a really big issue and a lot of my loved ones had a really big issue with the fact that I was totally in pain up there and there was a time when I tried to hurt myself off stage, but I got over that. Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person and I think that that is going to be a lot of what the next record is about, not to plug it or anything. Like, it's going to talk about dying and coming back to become what you totally want to become. We are all becoming what we want to become.

Steven Chercover

We would really need for the DOD to quantify the demand to assess whether prices for wood could rise in the market as a result. I don't think the consumer has something to worry about right now.

We've always wanted to give something back to our fans, and to play the kind of shows we know they want to see, ... And we really think this tour is exactly that.

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.

Matt King

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

Rocky Carroll

When I was a kid growing up, there might be 10 shows on the air that had been on for ten seasons or eleven seasons. 'Gunsmoke' ran for over twenty years.

We're going to need to show more intensity than we have in the past. Co-Lin is a better team than Jones and the split with Pearl River shows that.

Ian Robertson

We're going to gauge reaction to the 101EX and take the car to shows around the world.

Jason Schenker

What we're seeing is a lot stronger numbers than were anticipated, also with an upward revision in August and July. All of this bodes well for the economy and shows perhaps the economy was not as severely affected by the hurricanes as initially anticipated.

John Harbaugh

We're going to have to start doing a better job with our coverage teams. It's not so much that we aren't tackling. We're not staying in our lanes. All our guys are moving inside, and they're jumping to the outside.

Sean Faris

Working with Michael Chiklis is a lesson in professionalism and staying focused. That's what Chiklis brings all day long.
