That's just the way he's programmed.

Norv Turner

He sees himself as a tailback. We're going to give him every opportunity to play tailback and see what he does best. We have a bunch of guys who see themselves as the starting tailback.

We applaud the FDA for defining what whole grain is. Unfortunately, the FDA has not defined any claims concerning the grain content of foods. Consumers should continue to check labels.

Andy Adair

I grew up on a farm so I thought driving a fire truck would be like handling a grain truck. But the first time I was behind the wheel of a fire truck, I was awestruck by the responsibility. Sure you can run a stoplight, but you have to make sure the intersection is clear before you do. That's when I realized each level you reach in the fire department brings on new responsibility. And there are more people under your wing.

Nelson Fields

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.

John Brady

We're going to the Final Four. That's where it all is. But when I was just talking with Glen walking down the hall, he agreed with me. For some reason, this doesn't seem like the end to me. Maybe there's something more in store for this team.

When I was a child, there really weren't very many video games, but I do have memories of 'Pong.' Maybe it was 'Pong.' It was a home system in Japan, so maybe it wasn't the real 'Pong.' It was just sort of a Japanese game that was similar to 'Pong.'

When we first had him he was very aware of his limited survival of his own mortality, and I think every day that he has he views as a blessing, ... We had a video conference with some of the other surgeons and nurses that are involved in the project, and his one message to them was 'Life is wonderful.'

We wrote and recorded it in a day. That was sort of like 'OK guys, we've got to fly out to Alberta to shoot the 'Photograph' video tomorrow, so we probably better get the album done today.

What they were trying to do was to invent a new visual language for the 20th century.

And then took those planes together and reassembled it.

Mary Bowen

We boarded up the windows and were going to sit and wait out the storm.

Ross Chevalier

What's new here is that we now have one tool and one set of interfaces that manages Windows servers and desktops and Linux servers and desktops, and which can be configured to run in a Linux environment. That one toolset provides the customer with complete freedom of choice.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
