When we engraved the 442 names on the back of the medals - that's when the reality sinks in. Everybody in the whole plant had to be involved to check the names and match the medals with the cases. You see names of fathers and sons and brothers and the reality sinks in that basically whole families were wiped out trying to help people. But that's what we do - what we manufacture generally has a higher degree of meaning to those that receive it. It's not just any award.

Mike Cooke

We would seriously question the judgment of any board member or administrator who would have this community believe that they can simply fire the current employees and contract with an outside company to bring in strangers to work in our schools, and still provide the same degree of quality, safety and service that our current custodians and head custodians provide.

Curt Fredrickson

We graduated so many seniors that this is really a young team. We're going to take our lumps just because we're so young. We've got new pitching because we lost five pitchers. We lost all three catchers. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains, and that's why the trip like the guys are taking down to Missouri is very important.

Matt McGowan

We graduated our top five boys, too, so we're searching for people to replace those points.

Keith Wilbur

We graduated only one starter in Catherine Flynn , but she was our leading goal scorer last year.

Ron Kanaskie

We graduated more than they did. That?s the bottom line. I?m not trying to be trite, but that?s exactly what it is.

We graduated five starters and eight kids in all from last year's team (which made its second trip in as many years to the state playoffs). Even with that nearly every kid we have on this year's team played some varsity last season.

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.

Larry Best

We're going to spend whatever it takes to help the Guidant management team in cardiac rhythm management with this recovery. It is going to take a little longer. But the long-term perspective here has not changed.

Patrick Baker

When we defend well and create opportunities on offense, that's really our recipe for success. Once again we had great activity and pressure on the ball.

I went to NYU Tisch for undergrad, and it was amazing. My life then was extremely experimental with acting. I did crazy theater where we would be rolling around on the floor. I would be playing grandmothers, and clowns, and all this crazy stuff. Then I would be doing Shakespeare eight hours a day.

Lauren Worsham

I only worked theater jobs, but they were all really silly when I first graduated. I was a line monitor at 'Spamalot,' which means I got there at 8 A.M. and told people how much the tickets were for standing room. I was an NYU Medical School fake patient, to teach doctors how to talk to patients.

Louis C. K.

Jill Malko

We've asked her to do things that she didn't anticipate. She has played all these roles because of all the injuries. But she's the type of player that can play anywhere on the field and that's pretty hard to find.

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

Joe Hudak

We've always played well here. We're a good club, and I think we're trying to show we can play with other good clubs. We're certainly not intimidated.

We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.

Pat Ambrose

When we were patient on offense and got a good shot, we did well. When we played too fast and didn't get a good shot, we let Zion back into the game. Benny did a real nice job for us. He wanted to win.

Jeff Halpern

When we weren't in the box, I thought we played pretty well.

Odell Thurman

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

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.

Matthew Perry

Steve Squyres

When we first touched down at Gusev Crater on the night of January 4, 2004, the Columbia Hills seemed impossibly far away. It was a necessary place for us to get to, though, because as we looked across the plains we quickly realized these plains were made of basaltic lava. This was stuff that was interesting but did not tell us what we really sought to know about Gusev Crater, and that is whether there had been water here. So in order to find something, in order to find something different, we had to make that mile-and-a-half drive.

Lori Leveen

We bought a small house in Boston and we got it set up and had everything perfectly arranged until we realized we really only had one seat in the house that had sufficient light for reading and every night there was a battle of who could race to this chair faster with a reading book and I was always losing being the smallest. So we really started a quest to look for an ultimate reading light.

Kevin Jackson

We've always hoped that Page 2 would be a destination for people who wanted a good laugh and didn't take sports too seriously. Much of that was accomplished through parody, so it seemed natural that we'd be drawn to a product like the Onion. I think we've always had an admiration for what they do, and when we talked to the folks at the Onion, we found out that admiration was mutual.

Will Self

If the government announced that it was going to allocate a vast tranche of education funding purely to the pupils at the best public schools, there would be a national outcry - and yet this is precisely what the Olympics represents in terms of sports funding.

We're going to have a big dance floor, a nice, upper-scale restaurant, and private cigar rooms with stained French doors where people can smoke, dine and watch TV. That's downstairs. Upstairs we'll have a sports bar with pool tables.

Pat Battle

When we began our analysis of the videogame landscape, it became apparent that EA SPORTS was best positioned from a marketing and development perspective to maximize the sales opportunities for college football.

John Thompson

What he did was the right thing for him. Unfortunately, it has a negative influence on a lot of other people. Going into professional sports and making the money he's made does not close the option for him to still get a formal education. It does close the option for a kid that does not make it. If I'm some kid from the inner-city who has used athletics to motivate myself and I miss, I have no more options.

Al Pound

What have we got to lose? The kid threw a bullet and he just beat it. That's the hardest run to make in sports ? inside the park.

We found ourselves in a big hole in the beginning. We had four penalties before SPASH had one, and they were able to score a couple of goals. It was a pretty big swing in the game.

Gary Davis

We bought WCW because it would be great way to propel our core business, the sports entertainment genre, to new height,

Barbara Turner

Usually in the tournament, it's about what team is hot, and (West Virginia is) really hot right now. We have to treat it as if we were playing Rutgers, who was the No. 1 seed; we know that. And that's what we're going to try to focus on tonight and get ready for tomorrow.

Alan Bennett

If you find yourself born in Barnsley and then set your sights on being Virginia Woolf it is not going to be roses all the way.

Alan Alda

I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!

Al Sharpton

I'm projected as an ambulance chaser, but I'm more the ambulance. People call me because they know I will come.... I have never fought a case where they didn't ask me to come. People have this picture like I'm sitting up in bed at night with a walkie-talkie. "You hear anything? Oh, let's run! It's Virginia today!"... Every victim calls us.... "Who put Sharpton in charge?" The victim!

Ken Miller

The post-impact sediments record the recovery of the continental-shelf target area from devastating impact mega-tsunamis to the passive continental shelf and coastal plain that continues today. Comparison of the section in Virginia with more complete sections sampled in New Jersey and Delaware will yield new insight into global sea-level changes and the distribution of water-bearing units in the coastal plain.

George Allen

Unstable natural gas prices and supply volatility hurt all Americans, including Virginia families, farms, manufacturing plants and small businesses. I believe allowing states to opt in to deep-water exploration far off the coast will make Virginia and America more secure and more energy-independent.

Billy Tauzin

We are proud of what the Partnership for Prescription Assistance has accomplished in this short period of time. But our job isn't done. Research shows there are thousands more people in Virginia and across the country who could benefit if they simply knew patient assistance programs were available. We are committed to reaching every one of them.

Tim Newsom

We stress that. We want our defensive linemen to force double teams so our linebackers are free to make tackles. Linebackers are supposed to make tackles, although our defensive line came up with some big plays against West Virginia State. The fact is our defense has played well as a team.

Caleb Cushing

Men of Virginia, countrymen of Washington, of Patrick Henry, of Jefferson, and of Madison, will ye be true to your constitutional faith?

Natalie Cole

When I was old enough to walk home alone from school, I loved seeing our house from a distance. It sat on the corner of South Muirfield Road and West 4th Street and had this proud, majestic look. But I rarely went through the front door. The back was more dramatic.

Kacey Musgraves

When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.

Mike Carter

When I talk to friends about Western Kentucky University, I brag about how good they have been.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

Nick Fruendt

We remembered last year when we were down by 11 to West Chicago (in the sectional semifinal) and we came back and won, so we knew we could take this game.

Jerry Stackhouse

We're spoiled. We're at a point now where we expect to win them all. We're among the top teams in the Western Conference, if not the top team. We expect to win all the time.

Craig Thompson

We're going to reach all four corners of the country. We're going to be able to follow Mountain West sports the way no one else has been able to follow Mountain West sports before.

David Phillips

What we're saying is from Vancouver to Thunder Bay, Ont., that western part of Canada is looking like it'll be warmer than normal, so it's a continuation of what the fall has been like.

Peter Hall

We find in most of Western countries slow economic growth, which means that jobs are being created slowly and that generous social benefits systems developed in the 1960s and 1970s are often unaffordable. So in one way or another, all of these countries face this problem.
