One of the principal differences between the work that I have done at other places, either as a guest conductor or as a music director, and that of St. Louis is that I feel the biggest potential we have here is that we play the music with the type of emotional understanding that few other orchestras match.

Randeep Hooda

I would often take this bus and go to a nearby village where I had hordes of animal friends. I was hardly around four or five years old then.

Tim Saunders

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.

David Mandelbrot

We've always worked directly with the owners of content to make that content available. In our experience, that has not slowed us down too much, and it has helped us to build strong relationships that have helped us in other parts of our business.

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.

When we were a club band, we always used to say, 'Man, if we ever see success, we'd like to open doors for other people, to push the boundaries and fully contribute something to art, to music, that is going to help it evolve instead of doing stuff for the sake of money or doing stuff for the sake of being popular.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

We are pleased to see that Maryland legislators stepped up and made a statement about what kind of businesses they want in their state. Marylanders deserve businesses that provide for their employees, pay a decent wage and provide affordable health care, not those that expect taxpayers to foot the bill for their bottom-line corporate profits. They get that with Fair Share Health Care.

Mike Farrell

There are certain states -- Maryland has become one this year, North Carolina has been one and New Jersey has been one -- where there's no real home-school advantage. Guys can just come in here and cherry-pick who they want.

We've asked all of our local unions to get their members involved.

David Snowden

We've always worked well within DoD guidelines and of course will continue to do so. We support the directive and all regulations that would protect military members from unscrupulous business practices.

Sheriff Norman

We're so fortunate that we can now conduct an investigation into how this thing got going rather than have to explain to the victims' family members why something like this could have happened. I don't know what we would have done if something like this had really happened.

Cody Franson

When it come down to it on most nights it is about the player and the teams that work the hardest and not so much a chess match of strategy. Composure is key to playing defense and you cannot allow others to get under your skin and throw you off your game.

We remain optimistic that two others trapped in the tunnel may be found alive,

Rick Wagoner

We're going to take some time here, think in terms of 30 to 60 days, to step back and decide the next step in this journey, ... There's interest among others for various forms of transactions.

Peter Beutel

We're going to see huge price increases, particularly for Midwestern home owners this winter; and if it's a cold winter they will be really hurting. They are already looking at price increases of 40 to 80 percent.

Charlotte McKinney

Whenever people talk about dyslexia, it's important to know that some of the smartest people in the world, major owners of companies, are dyslexic. We just see things differently, so that's an advantage. I just learn a different way; there's nothing bad about it.

Z. Sheppard

Jeff Schuster

What hybrid owners want is to stand out.

Ken Dorr

We're getting rid of all the material we can't use. It's worn out or no good for the tourist railroad and we're also getting our three storage sites cleaned up. One storage site costs us $300 a month, so we won't have to pay that anymore.

Charlaine Harris
