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.

Years ago, we had a drug dog in Lebanon. But ever since it went away, it's been more difficult. Just bringing it in, having it go through, whether you find anything or not, it's kind of like having police officers on the street: You're less likely to break the law.

I think the comments bode well for the GDP (gross domestic product) report tomorrow and next week's monthly employment report.

Peter Horbury

Olin Browne

What makes it really hard is it's not a reaction sport, ... This is a premeditation sport. You're walking down the fairway, considering what your options are on the next shot that you're going to hit, how you're going to handle it, where you're going to go with it what you're going to do ... you get your head handed to you a lot out here. You know, the people that do well out here are able to absorb that, deal with it, put it in a little compartment, send it somewhere where they don't need to be in and move on to the next step.

Steve Wheeler

Our goal is to get all the top shooters to participate and secondly to build a stronger contention of shooters just below the top.

Shane Bond

Our two major worries coming here so late in the summer were firstly, would the team be in one piece, and secondly how tired we would be.

A lot has been said about how tired South Africa are and how they need time off.

Cliff Lusk

We're sitting there on go, ready to respond if we have to.

Mike Hargrove

Bruce Bochy

We're sitting pretty good. This is as healthy as we've been.

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.

Isiah Thomas

We've always said this is a rebuilding phase that we're in, and we keep trying to acquire assets to help us in that process. In doing that, we also want to secure and help our present.

We've always got a good field here, and the course and the facilities are great. We've all enjoyed the experience here. I think it's great that they're trying to work it out to stay.

Marty Schottenheimer

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game. All you're looking for is to be in a position where you have a chance to win at the end. We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.

Rose Johnson

When I was a girl, all we knew was this neighborhood, ... The beaches were ?whites only.? So Turkey Creek is where we went to fish, pick blackberries, recreate.

Churches had no pools inside for baptisms then?we all walked down to the creek and waited until the crowd got there.

Dick Gephardt

You don't lock into a ten-year family budget. You take it a year at a time - maybe even six months at a time.

We think that same principle should apply to the national family we call America.

Ed Stewart

We're sort of waiting by the phone to hear what they decide.

Years ago, when my wife and I first got the idea for a beach-based competition, we decided it should have its own name.

Nicolas Cage

With my goal to make a family drama and also my artistic aspirations of doing things which are a bit edgy, I've gotten a really happy marriage in 'The Weather Man', ... Gore went outside the box and did something personal and artistic, but at the same time it hits all the right notes in terms of children that may be going through a divorce, or a husband and wife dealing with it in a way that's not Pollyanna or saccharine or B.S. I haven't made that many movies like it. I know I've never made a movie as individual as 'The Weather Man' in dealing with family issues.

Tim Flint

We're hoping they got ahead of the explosion and they are in an area where there is oxygen. He told his wife every morning before he left that he loved her, because he knew you never know what might happen.
