We would like him to start and will hold the door open as long as possible. If his ankle is no good, then we start Conrad Smith.

We were all very relaxed -- that's how I knew it would be a fast race.

We don't know how we're going to use the force. So we have to have a capability set that will withstand all reasonable futures.

We work together as an organization damned well and have a strong sense of humor about much of what goes on around us - thankfully. The media has been in much more turmoil over the Red Sox than has been the case internally.

We believed that a minimum of one year was the right amount of time to give health care professionals enough time to fully understand the appropriate use for our medications. You don't want patients going to the doctor and requesting a medicine that they're not familiar with.

What we're trying to do is make sure we unearth the players, if we haven't already done so, who are going to be there for 2007.

Wally is one of those guys who has big dreams and great plans, and nothing ever comes of them.

We have constraints and have to be careful in order to successfully compete with them.

the real take-home-pay replacement rate that workers receive is already below 40 percent. ... Benefit reductions in a system that's already parsimonious is not desirable.

We can't play the starting five 37 or 38 minutes. The second crew didn't have a very good practice this week and it carried over to the game.

We have been moving forward and are leaving no stone unturned in looking for a new water supply. Time is of the essence. We need to get the moratorium lifted.

We will continue to urge major political candidates to appear on our station. In return, we pledge to continue to provide the most thoughtful, in-depth, intelligent, responsible and responsive electronic news coverage of the political process in the Pittsburgh region.

There has been a reevaluation of our slave philosophy that permitted us to be satisfied with the leftovers at the back door rather than demand a full serving at the family dinner table

We thought the fresh player would be a good option this week,

We were tired, but I thought they were too. They just had one guy that kept hitting.

With Arsenal, we try straight away to hit the striker early. The earlier I get the ball the better.

This was a great way for us to send our seniors out. It was a close meet and a total team effort. When it came down to it the team really supported each other whether it was in the pool or not. Everyone contributed today. This meet will definitely help prepare us for the upcoming conference championship.

The past few years you could see something just wasn't adding up,

The only thing the Sunderland players wanted to do was kick people. We can play football but some of the tackles in the second half were clearly not for the ball.

This should give us a lot of confidence. I've said this all year and I still feel like we have a shot at winning the state if we stay healthy.

There are a lot of teams trying to get him but if he can join us then I would welcome him here and he would be a benefit.

The plaque we presented was to commemorate the installation of the floor.

We want to work with other parts of the U.S. government, being able to (use) members of their organizations. We want to work formally ... with them and do everything we can to make them successful.

We had some tough losses. Our goal this season was to win 20 games, and we figured we were going to fall short after those one-run losses, but we've been working all week on hitting the first-pitch fast ball and that's what we did tonight.

Both Oklahoma and Dell will win big from this business relationship. Our state gains good jobs and a global business leader renown for making technology easier to use and more affordable, and Dell gets a great home with a wonderful supporting cast of highly skilled employees. It's a win-win for everyone.

We need to remind citizens that rabies is always present, especially in raccoons. Raccoons know when it is trash night in every neighborhood. They adapt to the environment. They have become real adept at looking for food, including foraging for pet food. That's where attacks can happen.

We were focused tonight. With McKinley on the mound, you're always in the game. We're executing right now.

To manage, rather than be managed by the market, health plan executives need to be proactive. They need to look now at the issues likely to face the industry this year.

We also had schools that only played a game or two. Then there were entire schools that were lost. But we limped through it. Now we just have to go on from here, but it won't be easy.

W.R. Bell, the gentleman who had this house built, owned a business on the Square called Bell Jewelers.

We're taking a lot of kids, but that's good because they all deserve to go. They've worked hard, and I hope that we can get down there, have some nice weather and get a good opener.

The Recreation Department is very proud of its safety record with swimming pools. We want to educate people. We want everybody to have a great time at our pools.

We had to concentrate on the beginning of the season, which was tricky because you don't know if you're going to lose your skipper.

This was my birthday present. Winning the game was all I really wanted. It was a cutting fastball a little bit over the plate. It was a huge win after (Friday). We were real flat coming back from (playing) Dixie State. We needed a win to get us on a roll.

This was pretty much about one person when I took over the program in '83. But it's not that way any more. We have so many people working so hard.

This was an initial draft of an idea. There's nothing cast in stone. We expected them to refer it to their solicitors and come back with comments to it. I don't look at it as a rejection. This is the start of a dialogue.

We have a 6-year-old and an 86-year-old in this. It's open to anyone in the community. About half of my team will be there, but we still haven't had a great participation response to this from outsiders. I hope in the future this will become big and we can start a tradition.

We want to get players into the NPC as soon as possible,

We want to get players into the Air New Zealand NPC as soon as possible. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis in the best interest of the individual.

What attracted me originally was the uniqueness of the asset in the area we were actually looking for. It was such an amazing attraction to us. You just can't replicate it.

We spend more time talking about that area of the game than anywhere else and there are going to be some very good players who are disappointed, but we can't take everyone.

We talked about it a little bit, just jawing back and forth. He was telling me that he saw the game (against Jacksonville) Sunday on TV and he wasn't going to have any of that. It goes back to those old days.

We just happened to catch up with her. It seemed like once we got a hit it became contagious. All those runs were with two outs so we happened to bust out at the right time.

We miss Ashley really badly... we know what he can add to the team when he comes back.

We wish Pedro nothing but the best going forward both on the field and off the field, ... He pitched with every ounce of his being for the Red Sox over the course of 216 games. Some of those performances were among the most memorable in Red Sox history. Who will ever forget the 1999 All-Star game? He has earned everything that he has accomplished, including his World Series ring and his reputation as one of the greatest who ever lived.

We are bringing through some outstanding youngsters and the character they showed to get us through to the League Cup semi-finals at Doncaster gave us a real lift for the Christmas matches and I think we took that into the matches against Charlton and Portsmouth.

We feel we were the better side; we constructed the tries to win the football game. But this great rivalry between the two sides is there again, which is great.

We expect housing and construction markets to continue to stabilize in the remainder of the year, but be down relative to last year's record levels, ... As a result of this environment and continued pressure on our cost structure due to higher raw materials and energy costs, Johns Manville's outlook for 2000 is for net sales and underlying earnings to be essentially flat with last year's record levels.

We feel like we are playing our best ball right now so we feel confident going in. It is just a matter of executing.

This newel post fixture is original to the house. Originally it was gas. The house originally was illuminated with gas fixtures.

We do not want German-Americans, Irish-Americans or Russian-Americans but just plain, every-day Americans.

Bob Novak obviously left the set a little early. I had told him in advance that we were going to ask him about the CIA leak case. He was not here for me to be able to ask him about that. Hopefully we'll be able to ask him about that in the future.

Besides the second game yesterday, this about matched Georgia last weekend as far as how effective we were swinging the bats and getting runs in. Hopefully we're hitting on all cylinders here.

Even though the users are screaming for sugar, I don't think it's been as bad as they'd like you to think.

Billings sucks, dude. It's so far away, and everybody was coming from Missoula anyway, so it made more sense to do something closer to home.

Big Jim did a great job going against their big players. And Cobb did a great job for us off the bench. We came out with a lot of intensity.

Everybody talks about the history of North Kingstown. I wanted to get a new history of North Kingstown.

Every postseason is wide open. When you have eight teams get in, no one team can have even a 20 percent chance of winning.

Doug has played some outstanding rugby for Auckland recently, while Rico has played virtually every Super 12 and Test match since mid-February.

And with the morn those angel faces smile/ Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Another damned, thick, square book! Always scribble, scribble, scribble!

Every April is sort of like Christmas. Opening Day comes and the changes in the park every year seem to be better and better, and this year is by the far the biggest and best yet. To have a beautiful, sunny day and 65 degrees to show it off is just extraordinary.

There's so much to do here, they don't hang out at the pools much.

The residents saw a need for some type of emergency response.

The tremendous growth in the game of game has generated a huge talent pool of players, and we are pleased to present an opportunity for them to play against the world's best.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me; give me liberty or give me death!

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

Is it such a conflict? We had the same feelings about this issue as the commissioner does.

I've been to Africa many times in the past 20 years, but I can't believe this is the first time since the very first Red Nose Day, that I've been back to Ethiopia. The last time I was here was just after the famine and it was crazy, there were people all over the place, kids without families, aid workers, camera crews.

I've been in there taking mental reps. I've been going through walkthroughs, so I'm right there.

Things just got a lot more jovial in here.

The whole team really competed hard and did what they had to do to avoid giving up extra points. I thought everyone stepped up.

The whole program has turned a corner. If people didn't know us before, they know us now.

I've not been very kind to our kids with the scheduling. We've been tired in a lot of matches. But we've been wrestling Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and that's the same days of the state tournament.

It was true that I was keen for him to stay. However I have spoken to him three or four times in Japan. I did not twist his arm to come back. He wants to play for the All Blacks.

It was very impressive. They have a very nice facility first class.

It was tough (initially) because I didn't know how to do both at the same time.

It was a nice meet. The athletes we put out there were competitive and we did some nice things today.

These signs reflect the great pride that we Oklahomans have for Carrie. Carrie is talented, graceful, charming, hardworking and a testament to what can happen when people follow their dreams.

These projects are really going to have a significant impact on congestion levels.

The storm made it to the country with us.

The senior leadership was big for us. They made the transition smooth for me.

The stained-glass windows are original, although we had to have this little transom restored.

The significance is evident. You don't see the four of us sitting with anybody ever.

The team they had in the playoffs was totally different from the team we played earlier in the season. We knew that coming in.

The team showed a huge amount of character and heart out there. Maybe they wouldn't have handled it at other times.

The team really works hard, everyone does. It's a great group of kids, and having a winning record is better than going 0-16 like we did last year, so it really shows how far we've come in one year. It's important to us. Our coaching is awesome, and how we play, it's just real hard work.

The thought in the beginning was, will the community be able to provide the news? We're doing a great job of covering what the high schools and churches are doing.

The thing that gets me the most was that there were so many good shots.

I wanted to be on the winning side (on the record), but to it was truly unbelievable to have the season we had. The kids just stepped up and played well.

Sometimes you can give your team a lift and give your team some energy when you lower your shoulder and go after that guy. But as a runner you can get yourself in trouble that way, too. Sometimes you just have to know when the journey is over.

Seems like he is pretty composed for how young he is.

See, the thing is, when you do a press day, sometimes you're tired in the morning and you say things at the beginning of the day that you have to spend the rest of the day trying to correct.

prepare Christian men and women who will lead our nation and shape our culture with timeless biblical values and fidelity to the spirit of the American founding.

People sometimes disagree. I don't think you can have healthy relationships without disagreements and an organization is not going to evolve beyond mediocrity without them. This is not the same organization that Theo left. There was enough discord then to give Theo legitimate reasons to move on.

People tend to lump the Yankees and the Red Sox together in spending.

Normally, I call the police station just about every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night to get people out of our parking lot.

The old rivalry, which may not have been so strong two, three years ago, is back, and it's marvelous.

After clearly establishing the role of the louse, I demonstrated the detailed mechanism of transmission. Two factors are involved: man and the louse.
