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.

Every species becomes extinct; at some point, we will go extinct. The question is, as Homo sapiens, are we going to be able to adapt to the change that we're actually part of? We're causing such dramatic changes to the planet, so yes, you do stop and think, 'I wonder where we're headed.'

And then took those planes together and reassembled it.

Mike Benson

When we built the site for Oceanic Airlines, we wanted to do something that was different from all the other TV show sites.

What a disappointing way to finish the match, especially after creating so many opportunities that we should have put away. It should have easily been 2-1 at halftime. We played to win, we created enough opportunities to win, and we didn't handle the last few minutes of the game very well at all.

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Maripol

When I was a child, I lived in Morocco, and I would always buy a lot of beads from the markets and to make jewellery for friends. Later, at 18, I would do my own clothes and make my own patterns. When I first came to New York, people just assumed I was a stylist because I was so into fashion.

Bob Nardelli

David Singer

Tom's has a strong heritage and solid reputation in the snack food business, and we believe that this opportunity will make our company stronger. The transaction developed quickly, and we are still developing our plans.

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

Terry Ebbert

We're going to face a crisis in the very near term.

Kent Beck

I lived near Santa Cruz for ten years, and the whole time, it bothered me what an exclusionary definition of 'inclusion' was in force. Social censure was applied to those who expressed unpopular or uncomfortable ideas.

We've asked the congregation a lot of different things during this period, getting opinions, because we want the whole body to be working toward the same goals.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

We've always thought they were a very skilled team but they're even more skilled than people know. They skate really well, they swarm the puck, the protect they puck well. They all have exceptional puck skills, stick skills, and they compete.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done. We've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Rachel Elkins

When it came down to it, there were three teams in the running for second place. The percentage of individual wins for Matt and Josh were higher so they took second.

Gregg Laskoski

Chris Faircloth

We're more consistent on our assignments. We run our routes better. Still, we're not at the completion percentage we'd like to be. What we are happy about is people have to play us in the pass, which really helps our running game.

Chris Killingstad

We remain solidly on track to deliver our 2006 financial goals of double-digit earnings per share growth and mid to upper single-digit revenue growth. We continue to make progress on our medium-term goal of 9.5 percent operating margins.

Patrick Stokes

We remain confident in our ability to consistently achieve annual double-digit earnings per share growth over the long-term, with a 12 percent average annualized target through 2004,

Phil Forest

We're spending more time on our computers. Even though television viewing is up, there is still a percentage that they're losing. If they put programs on the Internet, they can capture more of the audience. That's one of the key factors driving the networks.

Dan Niles

We're getting to the latter half of the year. and typically, the industry sells close to 20 percent more PCs in the second half versus the first half. People are getting ready in anticipation of a much stronger second half of the year.

Phil Mishler

We're going to start with the defensive end and let the other parts fall where they may. You can always give 100 percent on defense.

Bill Smith

We're going to pay it one way or another. We think paying based on what the actual costs are over a 5 percent difference is a good way to do this. It's not that we're unconcerned; it's just the price of doing business.

John Kosar

We're going to see a new, emerging period of higher long-term interest rates that are going to start now, and I believe they're going to carry on for some time.

Kenneth Fisher

Italians have always had a high savings rate. They love putting their money into their own government bonds - even more than in houses, stocks and gold. The higher rates climb, the happier they are to invest. So if austerity plans drive rates up, it's music to Italian ears.

Douglas Cliggott

What we're seeing in Asia now is that rates of growth are slowing down. It's Latin America where you see growth picking up.

Michael Conway

Whenever rates go up a little bit, some people aren't going to qualify. But buyers are better off because of the balanced market. That helps them more than slightly higher rates hurt them.

Doug Porter

What has changed in recent weeks is long-term interest rates across the globe are starting to feel the heat from Fed tightening and now from rate hikes from all kinds of quarters, including Japan and Europe which they really hadn't had to deal with before.

Samah Haggag

We found it interesting that some states that historically have low rates of bankruptcy have high propensities. I think some of it's going to be related to the economic changes. For states to see that kind of difference, some things have changed.

Robert Long

We got whacked on the Fed comments (Wednesday), but that reaction doesn't make sense, ... Don't you think if the Fed is hinting that interest rates will go up sooner, that suggests the economy is doing well? I think the comments bode well for the GDP (gross domestic product) report tomorrow and next week's monthly employment report.

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.

Jan Freitag

What's noteworthy is the rates did not fall when the demand dropped after 9/11. So hotels are now in a great position to grow the rates moving forward.

Chris Harper

We're so young that when they start to press, we think that means we need to speed up.

Carl Honore

We're so marinated in the culture of speed that we almost fail to notice the toll it takes on every aspect of our lives - on our health, our diet, our work, our relationships, the environment and our community.

Bill Griffith

We're going to throw the football. We're hoping our team speed helps us get past those 300-pounders.

Bill Griffith

We're going to throw the football, ... We're hoping our team speed helps us get past those 300-pounders.

We're going to speed Duff up and get him some at-bats. We've just got to catch up a little bit.

Ken Miller

When we had a 7-0 lead, it should have been 13-0. The game was at their speed, and the speed took us out of our rhythm.

John McDermott

What he did with this particular recording was almost, in a sense, to pre-date the guitar synthesizer by recording the guitar at different speeds with different-tone pedals ... any way he could to create the sound that he heard in his head

Helen Christensen

We found that, on average, men aged 64 years have smaller brains than men aged 60. However, despite this shrinkage, cognitive functions -- like memory, attention and speed of processing -- are unaffected.

Lara Rhame

U.S. treasury yields are rising and we've seen that support the dollar across the board. The dollar remains strong on the back of solid U.S. economic data and expectations that the 10-year yield is going to continue to go higher.

Douglas Shapiro

We regard the shares as inexpensive and believe that just placing a market multiple on its free-cash-flow a few years out yields substantial upside in the stock.

Louis Navellier

There are several things that can create an alpha - stock buybacks are one. High dividend yields are another, especially nowadays because the stock market yields more than the banks and the tenure treasury. But by and large, it tends to be companies with a strong cash flow, rising sales, accelerated earnings, a profit margin expansion.

Jon Meacham

The powerful emotional connection between Roosevelt and Churchill and how they confronted tyranny and terror is an incredibly contemporary story that yields important lessons for leaders today on a personal, political, and diplomatic level.

Art Hogan

We spent the week worrying about yields and what the economic data would do. We managed to work our way through it. We finished off the week the best we could. Next week we have a host of economic data that may or may not change our mind. We'll see how it plays out.

Peter Crane

We're seeing interest in cash for the first time since 2001, practically, and we expect the interest to only grow as rates continue to rise. Yields are still digesting the Aug. 9 Fed hike and be- ginning to anticipate an almost certain Sept. 20 rise, so we should see yields break through 3 percent and keep going.

Michael Roberge

One of the reasons foreign capital keeps coming to the U.S. is that yields are higher than what you're getting globally.

Shinji Kunibe

I was surprised to see speculation of a policy change grow stronger. Bonds tumbled as stocks rallied on the solid economy. Yields are to rise in the next several months.

Yasunori Kuroda

I wouldn't hurry to buy bonds, as yields will probably keep rising as we wait. The advance in stocks is hurting demand for bonds.

Jacques Rogge

We remain with our zero tolerance policy, so that the fight against doping remains the very first priority of the International Olympic Committee.

Michael Morgan

When we did things right tonight, we looked pretty good. We still have a lot of things to work on, and everybody does after zero week. I think Howard played well and made some good decisions. Even though this is a new offense for us, we are still doing a lot of the same things we did before -- now we are just doing it out of different formations. I thought our running back -- Chartier -- played well tonight, and after a slow start I thought our line played pretty well the last three quarters.

Mark Vitner

We're going to have plenty of weak economic reports over the coming months. If they respond to every one, they'll get down to zero percent interest rates pretty damn quick.

Joseph Rotblat

Unless there is a change in the basic philosophy, we will not see a reduction of nuclear arsenals to zero for a very long time, if ever.

Seth Shostak

Very few societies on Earth developed science as we know it today. On the other hand, the number is not zero - the Greeks, the Chinese, and the Maya did, among others. Once invented, science proved so useful that it spread like mold on a petri dish.

Mark Vitner

We're just now realizing how badly off the economy was in the second quarter, ... The wider trade gap, along with the weakness we saw in the business inventory numbers that came out this week and weaker construction spending, will probably result in a second-quarter revised GDP number that will be zero or even slightly negative. It will be an eye-opening number, but it's no more worrisome than what we've seen.

Alan Greenspan

I must say, I never expected to see the day where I would be talking about anything other than reducing the debt, I'm running into the tyranny of zero, which is where you can't reduce (the debt) any more

Alan Greenspan

The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default.

Al McGuire

I believe in a business boarding up early. If you make a mistake, you put the boards in the window of the store and say, "Hey, I made a mistake." Let me take two shots in the arm and a punch on the nose and let me get on to the next thing. I don't believe in worrying over failures. I worry about successes. This is opposite from most people. Most people zero in on their failures. I try to keep all my attention on a pyramid type philosophy rather than the averaging-down philosophy.
