What this budget does is express (Schwarzenegger's) best judgment of how all the competing needs of California can be met and in this case provide a very large increase in education funding.

Dan Beck

What we're seeing is outside contractors are coming into town with illegal immigrants, and they're cutting costs. That's forcing the local contractors to go the illegal route.

Brad Wilson

What we're seeing is a great deal of customization on country and industry levels. When Microsoft was developing its CRM, it made sure that it was built on a Web services architecture so that it can be easily adapted to specific local needs and requirements.

We are confident that the combination of increased sales and operating synergies will create value for Lance, Inc. stockholders.

World of Warcraft is completely owning the online game space right now. Look, Matrix Online is good, but it's like being in the early '90s and trying to put a fighting game up against Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter; it's just not going to happen. There are a lot of other online games that are just sucking wind right now because so many people are playing WOW.

We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.

When we were coming up, it was kind of a retooling thing and we were filling in with whatever you could fill in with. (Now) you've got a good ownership that's not only going to allow those guys to play, but they're going to bring in the pieces and make it competitive and allow them to win.

We're going to miss him. He's a main piece to our puzzle, offensively, defensively, on our power play, all the things. Having said that, we'll hope he comes back but if he doesn't we have to be concerned about bringing someone up and we have to keep on playing.

Tim Mahoney

We're going to fix this piece of legislation. We're going to try to put together a program that solves the prescription drug problem in this country.... The way we change this is, we have to change Congress.

Marc Touati

What we're seeing now is a total reverse in what everyone expected ahead of the euro debut; retailers understood that the euro would add new pressures for competitiveness, so they chose to push prices down to attract customers.

With UK growth remaining weak and below trend, and with inflationary pressures easing, we urge the (Bank of England's) monetary policy committee to consider an early interest rate cut.

Sam Scott

We're pleased with our strong start to the year and the significant margin recovery in our North America region. Our lower South America results reflected pricing and cost pressures in Brazil and Argentina. Asia/Africa performed essentially in line with our expectations.

Greg Knapp

We're from two opposite backgrounds, but whatever's inside of him, from his core growing up, there's a quality I like in that he enjoys the game still as a kid. I think that's important at this level, because at this level the pressures are there. They will always be there, but as long as you see that core enjoyment of the game, I think that's important.

Robert McGowan

We've acted properly in this office, ... I understand the pressures and I understand this group just wants to pay less taxes. If you want to be an assessor and can't take the heat, don't do the job.

Josh Stiles

We still need to keep the inflation pressures from building or there will be a problem in the future.

David Cash

We're seeing an exploding market. The overall competitive pressures are still there. It's intense and the pricing reflects that.

Ken Marino

To go from working with a group of people in a sketch-comedy show on a small network, where it was all about just creating funny stuff, to being on a network show, and the pressures of that, and getting to know the new people who were involved in it. There was a learning curve for me. But it was an education.

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.

Jeff Hamilton

We're marketing that as a personal prayer book, primarily geared toward women.

Tracy Smith

We're going to primarily rest our starting pitchers and give some guys a chance who haven't had a lot of opportunities to stake a claim for some more innings out of the bullpen. I anticipate Butler will be taking the same approach.

Greg Thomas

What makes 2005 especially impressive is that we eclipsed $73 million with primarily medium-sized projects.

Louis MacNeice

The poet is primarily a spokesman, making statements or incantations on behalf of himself or others - usually for both, for it is difficult to speak for oneself without speaking for others or to speak for others without speaking for oneself.

Keith Warren

We are primarily here to present an alternative message. We support the troops and the mission.

Randy Bungard

We are primarily going to go to the meet to have fun with a lot of different relays.

Lauren Fine

We are primarily focused on revenues as this is critical to the well being of the company and the shares.

Ron Brown

We've appointed a committee to look at our needs. We post the meetings and the public is welcome to come and voice their opinion. The public is always welcome. We need to find enough property where we can build as we need. We'll get it done.

Eldrin Bell

When we close on the property the shovels will start,

Pete Witte

We found out that one address was the source of 200 police calls in one year. That property was public enemy No. 1. When the city went inside, they found an illegal auto repair shop, mattresses in a storage section of the building that had condoms and needles all over them. We got the building emptied out, the city used Community Development Block Grant money to buy it and now it's on the road to demolition. The end of the tunnel is near.

Donna Abbott

We bought the property as much for the tree as for the Victorian house.

Dan Veru

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.

Jack Cassidy

We believe this property has the potential to achieve significant revenue growth through addressing deferred-maintenance issues, adding selective capital improvements and improving property-management operations.

Robert Cooper

Harry Hillaker

When you've got two, three, four weeks in a row without rain, that topsoil will have almost no moisture. It wouldn't take much to remedy the situation. A quarter-inch of rain is all it would take.

Kurt Vonnegut

That specific remedy for the worldwide epidemic of depression is a gift called the blues.

Rex Norman

Until such time as the Forest Service selects a remedy or remedies for the site and costs are more definite, it is premature for the parties to enter into mediation.

Rae Tyson

We're satisfied that their remedy is going to take care of the problem,

Lupita Nyong'o

Growing up, I had really bad skin. I had a skin disorder. Yes, I did. And my mother went to great lengths to try to find something to remedy it.

Charles Spurgeon

The world's one and only remedy is the cross.

Brigham Young

The best remedy for anger is delay.

When I was in Taiwan, I was taught in school that Taiwan is part of China.

Ricky Williams

When I was in school, at the time he was the governor of Texas, ... Sometimes he would work out in our weight room. I had a chance to talk to him a couple of times. I was lifting, he was just riding a bike. I think he's a nice person.

Jennifer Anderson

When I was in school and we had a test coming up, we never had a party like this.

John Parks

When I was in school 20 years ago, it wasn't all that important. And if the coach was mad at you, denying you water was something they used as punishment.

John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

Mike Birbiglia

When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners.

Gary Hufbauer

U.S. multinationals are still spending most of their R&D dollars here in the U.S. -- about 90 percent. It could shift, but it has not shifted yet. Where the link is weaker that just because a firm does its R&D here by no means means it's obligated to do its production in the U.S.

Koya Tabata

The point of interest has shifted to the price of the product as a game machine and the volumes that Sony can offer during the Christmas shopping season.

We've all got to be good at moving on in this business. I've moved on. Sure, I was disappointed with the way things went. But I came out here and shifted my thoughts and concentrated on doing well out here. That's all gone under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.

J. Murphy

We're seeing a consistent movement in the corporate workforce with more of the benefit cost burden being shifted to the employee. Ultimately, employees will be required to take on greater management oversight for their own health and welfare and retirement plans.

Ellen Klages

When I write, I try to capture one of those pivotal moments. If I succeed, I have shifted the reader's view of the world, just a little. The character is not the only one to experience change. That is my job, shifting perceptions, one story at a time. The trouble is, I don't like writing. But I love having written.

Kangna Ranaut

I schooled in Himachal Pradesh. I had taken up science and, initially, wanted to become a doctor. There are few career options for students of science though, so I shifted to Delhi and decided to try theater instead.

Jay Rosen

What The Post is doing today is a recognition that the balance of power has shifted to users who can choose the way they receive news . . . that they're not entirely in charge of how people get their news anymore.

I would expect costs to rise as the year goes on. They shifted some savings into this quarter.

Craig Pletenik

We're making some of the best academic improvement in the state, and we've got a bureaucratic blunder that we're trying to correct, and the state won't accept the correction.

J. Horton

We're making history again. Never before have we supported so many state and federal missions.

Mathias Kiwanuka

We're starting to figure out what kind of a team we are. We played Florida State well last week, but we still lost. We're not looking for moral victories. We had to come here and win.

Bruce Clark

We're starting all over again in the place where I was most happiest, up here in State College.

Larry Krantz

We respect the rights of Texans to have fun. But people need to realize that everyone pays when the state has to constantly stop what it's doing to repair this kind of damage. It takes away from our other responsibilities like building and maintaining roadways.

Councilman Zine

We're going to continue our investigation into how an experienced detective working homicide could let this happen. It really falls on negligence ... and it's costing the taxpayers over $1 million in sanctions.

Mary Adams

We're awful glad that the taxpayers and the voters will have an opportunity to vote on this. I think they'll grab it just like a drowning man would grab a flotation ring.

Anna Burger

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.

Ralph Goodale

We are pleased to fund research in this area as fundamental climate conditions have a significant impact on Saskatchewan crops, ... In light of the recent weather conditions, the loss at the farm gate and cost to taxpayers is validation of how critical this research is to our community.

Bill Casey

We spent millions on this. The taxpayers trusted us. Bringing people in here who can't see questions our credibility. We need to please the people who sit in the seats.

Alex Tabarrok

The obsessive focus on a college degree has served neither taxpayers nor students well. Only 35 percent of students starting a four-year degree program will graduate within four years, and less than 60 percent will graduate within six years. Students who haven't graduated within six years probably never will.

Cal Thomas

In business, poor performance leads to bankruptcy or, at a minimum, a restructuring of the company. In American education, failure entitles the bankrupt system to even more taxpayer dollars.

Bill Nye

We need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future.

Karen Mills

This has always been a small agency with a big mission. But these days, especially, we have to stand up every day, deliver value into the hands of small-business owners and get taxpayers the biggest bang for their buck so that we can help these job creators do what they need to do.
