We bought some shares recently in a dot.com company that was absolutely annihilated after this recent rout, About.com ( BOUT : Research , Estimates ), which is the ninth-largest Web property of all Web properties. The stock dropped from 100 in late March, to a low of $21. This is a company with a real business model that had blowout first-quarter earnings. And they are actually going to turn a profit in 2001. Investors went from 'everything Internet is good', to the 'everything Internet is bad' mantra. So now you've got to do your homework and look at individual names and identify the business models that are valid. And I think this is one that can go back to its old high.

Charlie Munger

We believe that almost all really good investment records will involve relatively little diversification. The basic idea that it was hard to find good investments and that you wanted to be in good investments, and therefore, you'd just find a few of them that you knew a lot about and concentrate on those seemed to me such an obviously good idea. And indeed, it's proven to be an obviously good idea. Yet 98% of the investing world doesn't follow it. That's been good for us.

We're emphasizing the knowable by predicting how certain people and companies will swim against the current. We're not predicting the fluctuation in the current.

There are musicians who want to make a living making music. There are listeners who want to listen to music.

Some of the models of making a living making music are no longer valid but persist.

Rick Rubin

We felt Johnny's presence during the whole process through to the end. It felt like he was directing the proceedings, and I know that the musicians all felt that as well...

Paul Provenza

We're familiar with the notion of musicians reinterpreting the same song over and over, but we don't ever hear that with comedians,

Cindy Cook

There is no question that music continues to play a pivotal role in video games and video games continue to play a pivotal role in promoting new artists to a wide audience. Through this contest, we are giving musicians an unprecedented opportunity to be seen and heard by potentially millions of fans worldwide as well as the opportunity to be associated with this year's most anticipated video game and one of Hollywood's most iconic characters.

Rick Elice

There is no pit orchestra. The musicians are essentially characters in the show. That was a big idea from Des. And it set a structure within which we were able to write the show.

Bill Taylor

We are helping the musicians who mean so much to the overall makeup of the city get back on their feet. One of the main ways we are doing that is by getting instruments and equipment into their hands which they lost doing the storm.

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.

Jake Long

When we came back from the bowl game, we didn't reach our potential like we should have last year. Weight could have been a part of it, so all the coaches wanted us to drop weight, get stronger, get quicker. We definitely had the intensity to do that this year during winter.

When we announced Howard's plan to come to SIRIUS back in fall 2004, we had about 700,000 subscribers. At the end of 2005, a week before he began his first show with SIRIUS, our number of paid subscribers had reached 3.3 million.

Jason Carter

We've always had pretty much one guy at each spot who only came out if he was really tired or hurt. This year, we're going to play two or more guys at every spot because we just have that many talented players. Our depth is a lot better than it's been.

Greg Kraft

We've always had chances for brilliance. The talent is there but it's just how quickly it comes together.

Adam Rothberg

We've always believed in Dan Brown's exceptional talent as an author. Everyone in publishing knows that sometimes it takes three or more books to reach critical mass and we're happy to have ultimately sold millions of copies of his books.

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.

Joshua Katcher

When it comes down to a meet like this and you put two equally talented kids out there, it comes down to which one wants it more. Obviously, our little guys wanted to move on.

Jim Collins

Web hosting was the first product in Affinity's portfolio, and it's still a very important part of our business; that's why we continue to strive to create solutions based on the most advanced hosting technology at an affordable price. However, we recognize the need to offer much more than just hosting to satisfy the needs of today's developer, which is why Gate.com also provides a full suite of advanced tools and web services.

Andy Ellis

We believe we have the tools in place to stay on top these metrics going forward. We are starting the next phase of our service and quality initiative, which is focused on delivering faster project completion rates while maintaining our high quality standards.

Paul Vasconi

We are given 30 days to pack up three years of parts, tools and items. But we will at least have some control over our own space, rather than living from day to day, not knowing what efforts are being done behind the scenes to mess us up.

Dan Kusnetzky

What's new is that someone built a whole operating system, not tools or subsystems.

Jeff Raines

We're going to have more tools in the bag than just reselling Qwest.

Jim Calhoun

We've always treasured it and we still treasure it. If, after the game, we say it wasn't that important to us, we're lying to you. It's important to us. Is it the most important thing? No. But we'd like to be Big East champs.

Laura Mvula

Peter Coyote

Tom Shales

Making music on TV used to be as common as commercials. In the '60s and '70s, prime time was stuffed with variety shows headlined by such major and treasured talents as Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, the Smothers Brothers and Richard Pryor, who had a very brief comedy-variety hour on NBC that was censored literally to death.

Billy McNeill

He loved the Celtic fans and treasured the relationship he had with them, and he was never happier than when he was out on the pitch.

Tommy Amaker

To get a road win is a significant achievement. Road wins are treasured in our league. The way our guards played, especially Daniel Horton and Dion Harris, was the difference. They played with a swagger.

Bob Stallman

I can't emphasize enough the importance of biotechnology and why it is so critical that we stop this initiative before it makes any more headway, ... A victory against biotechnology in Sonoma County would not just be symbolic; it would do real damage to agriculture and a treasured way of life.

Steve Vai

History's most treasured musicians were believed in and cultivated to reach their potential. Today, it would be difficult for those musicians to get deals. We have the insight and the tools to identify and bring to fruition the dormant talent that our artists possess.
