Led Quotations | Page 7

I was pretty shocked. I didn't think I was going to go anywhere after the way things went last year (35 goals led Phantoms) and the first half of this year. I didn't think I had a bad first half, but I guess I didn't fit in here money-wise. I didn't think that they would have to move anybody. It's unfortunate that it had to be me.

I was proud of Patrick. He took us down on a great drive. A lot of people tried to get down on him early, with the interception, but he showed a lot of poise and a lot of confidence and stepped up and led the offense.

I was pleased to find somebody analyzing pro sports, as thought to be a business. I was impressed with his professionalism and his understanding of the key drivers in our business. His conclusions were all wrong, but that led to some friendly and heated debate, and that was the start of our friendship.

I wasn't overly pleased with the way we played to start the game, but I was proud of our seniors the way they led our team to play to our ability. At the end we did play to what we're capable of and our seniors led and that's what we've been looking for all year ù our seniors to lead the team. I was proud of the way they did that tonight.

I was never strong at maths, but I eventually got onto a university physics/astronomy course, and that led on to my Ph.D. and eventual employment.

Michelle has to take the front seat tonight. She led our team up and down the floor tonight.

Wholesale gasoline prices have dropped across the country and West Coast gasoline inventory is strong.

However, oil industry analysts expect wholesale prices to start heading up again once the more expensive summer-grade fuel starts going on the market at the end of February.

We just became acquainted and met and talked at subsequent events. We had dinner, one thing led to another and we've been together since.

We jumped out early in the first quarter and led 14-3. We played pretty good defense early, but then it was pretty even until the fourth when we out scored them 23-16. The second and third quarters were evenly matched.

We just did not hit and play defense like I know we can. We committed six errors that led to six unearned runs. Auburn came in and played great. I have to give them credit.

You can argue that in recent years, Fahd's own personal paralysis has led to Saudi political paralysis. Abdullah is seen as in charge, but not really in charge. Fahd's physical survival has prevented anyone else from being king, and in some ways has preserved a degree of stability.

Willie Brooks led me down the field. He was there stride for stride.

Whitman led a move forward. She could have come to play a spoiler role, but she came to build relationships and bring the message that George Bush thinks that climate change is a serious problem.

We continue to benefit from our proven success in desktop software, led by the solid performance of our small-business and tax products.

When it comes to making laws that protect the public from the financial services industry, Congress has done a progressively worse job since the Pecora Commission hearings of the early 1930s, which led to Congress taking bold steps to regulate banking and securities firms in 1933 and 1934.

We put more thought in our defense. That led to some easy baskets and that was reflected in the box score.

While capital spending has been the main driver of growth, we're going to see the consumer start to play a larger role. Growth led by consumer spending will increase the stability of the recovery.

We really want to be strong starters. The first three minutes of the game and the first three minutes of the second half are very key for us. If you look at what we did, we led 8-3 at the start of the game, and then we came out and scored the first seven of the second half.

We played really well. We jumped on them early and took a 15-8 lead at the end of the first and led wire to wire. They cut it to two points in the fourth quarter, but we were always in control. We went 12 for 26 from the (free throw) line and still won by 7 - not bad.

We had many good directors - John Carpenter, Brian De Palma - but things have become polluted by business, money and bad relationships. The success of the horror genre has led to its downfall.

We had a lot of turnovers on the perimeter, which led to odd-man advantages.

We've gotten good pressure. That's not a question. Teams know that. Some of the pressure we've had has led to interceptions. For some reason, we haven't gotten sacks, but that's really irrelevant to me.

We've made great strides in raising academic achievement during the past seven years. I am especially proud that Washington led the nation last year in reading scores for African-American fourth graders. African-American eighth graders in Washington scored better in math than in all but three states. We are closing the achievement gap.

Viruses, described as threats that add their code to other executable files in order to carry out their malicious actions, have reached rock bottom this year. The aim of creators of this type of threat is usually fame. However, legislation against computer crime in many countries worldwide has led to a dramatic drop in the number of new specimens of this type. Now, almost nobody runs the risk if it does not lead to financial gain.

Usually when you make up 52 points it's easy. It's not difficult. It's because something happens. You don't make it up because a guy ran bad and you went out there and led every lap and won the race.

Voters who disregarded Richard Nixon's involvement in the questionable ethics issue that led to his Checkers speech should not have been surprised when he orchestrated the Watergate cover-up as president.

We have had problems playing teams that don't have good records. This is the first time this year we have led wire to wire. One of our goals was to run and if we didn't have anything, to set it up in the half court.

We could have won all three games, no doubt. We led in the first period of Game 1 and the third period the last two games. We could have had them, but we didn't. Down 3-0, I don't care what the odds are against us. It's been about this group in here and what we can do.

We have weeded out the deadwood and set about to deal with the internal issues that in the past led to faction building and damaging splits.

We had control in the first half, but in the fourth quarter their pressure defense got to us and caused turnovers that led to quick points.

We have led the world in terms of the processes we have put in place.

The reaction today will be fairly neutral because it's very near what analysts were forecasting. In terms of share price is going to be led more by the commodity prices.

The proposed policy is inconsistent with ongoing dialogues Microsoft is having with other Massachusetts state agencies about how Microsoft products can best meet their data and records requirements for a variety of data types - ranging from traditional documents to pictures, audio, video, voice, voice-over-IP, data, database schema, web pages, and XML information. As we look to the future, and all of these data types become increasingly intertwined, locked-in formats like OpenDocument are not well suited to address these varying data types - as the proposed policy itself acknowledges. It's this need for choice and flexibility that led Microsoft to design Office in a way that supports any XML schemas that a customer chooses, a capability lacking in less functional formats.

The projects generated conversations between students of these different disciplines and led to things that they couldn't have created alone. And I'm hopeful that it changed a bit of their perspective on their own discipline.

Tim embodies what we value in a mixed-signal designer -- expert level analog design coupled with an equally strong understanding of digital design and signal processing.

You look at Superman, the story of an orphan coming to America, keeping his identity secret and even the names, Kal-El and Jor-El, you can trace lines to the background of the creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, both Jewish. Overall, there was a remarkable confluence of events that led to the medium and the Jewish participation.

Today's charge has been led by the usual suspects: energy and commodity stocks, which is not surprising giving gold prices... and crude oil closing at its highest ever.
