Andreas Lilja

Every state every year will have some number of cases -- maybe it will just be a handful of cases, but it will never really just fade away completely like St. Louis encephalitis does, ... Even in the inter-epidemic period, there will always be some West Nile activity somewhere in the country.

It should have been a lot closer for us, if not a win. I bumped my 215-pounder (Dane Christensen) up to heavyweight. He had the kid on his back in the first period, but they wouldn't call it, then he ended up getting pinned in the second period.

Joe Lehmann

I don't think anybody else experienced the type of competition we had in the Big East tournament and in the Big East period. I think we'll be better prepared for the tournament than anybody else out there.

Carl Krauser

He's made some huge lifestyle changes. I think that difficult period allowed him to figure out what he needed to do better if he wanted to be among the elite. He's extremely focused.

Michelle Byrne

It's a very long expansion period we've been in, but sooner or later there will be a recession. Hopefully it will be a mild one, but sooner or later there will be a slowdown. Something is going to happen.

John Sargent

Well, you know, people lead double lives. We all do to some degree. We keep certain things separate from other things. But the only way to really do that successfully for a period of time is to deceive oneself.

Patrick Griffin

I thought I was in better shape. He had so much weight to cut. I thought that if I got him into the third period, I could get him.

Kyle Gilchrist

I've seen some guys from the Valley that are pretty tough, but a few of the guys have moved out. I don't know too much about the guys that are coming in. I use the first period to feel out the guy and go from there.

I think this is a normal period where people fear taking hefty positions without knowing how the market will react after the elections.

What we have lined up is a very aggressive calendar of blockbuster movies. This will be the channel's driver activity for the January to March quarter period of 2006.

Albert Almeida

We played very good, and when you are up 1-0 halfway through the third period, you expect to get something out of it. That is the way it is, we lost the game and that's that.

Cristobal Huet

The second period hurt us. They gained control of the game.

Bob Donovan

You really can't have a situation where something as basic as home prices gets that far away from economic fundamentals for that long a period of time. It's just not sustainable.

Robert Schneider

We're going to see a period of real public stability, but there's going to be maneuvering behind the scenes.

The effect of the handover has been largely debated and talked about for a long period of time.

Joyce Chang

The following year will certainly be looked at as a transition period.

Andy Agle

Guy Gadowsky

When you're on a blood thinner, it's a dreadful problem. You continue to bleed much more, and over a longer period of time.

Dr. Stephan A. Mayer

It seems to be sensible in a period of consolidating grocery trades. When you go with the entire organization behind you, I'm sure it gets some advantage, but I'm not sure it will make a big difference.

William Leach

I thought we controlled the play in the first period and had a couple of chances early on.

Bob Marinelli

I think the year anniversary kind of puts an end to that period of time when the mourning is over.

Productivity gains have been strong in the current period, allowing the economy to recover without creating jobs.

The government wants the blacks to leave Sudan - period.

Donald Payne

They were just a horrible gang, and they've committed a tremendous amount of crimes in a short period of time. Some of (them) were very brutal, all of which were violent.

Larry Duncan

A lot of it is misleading because he has had some close matches. The scores just don't indicate it because he's blowing them open in the last period. He could easily have lost a match or two this weekend, but he's capitalizing when he's in a position of advantage. He's turning people and making things happen.

Dave Schutter

Eddie certainly gave us a chance to win. In the second period he was awesome.

Mats Sundin

I had to do what I had to do to keep my family alive. Period.

Art Modell

I think that's unfair, I think President Bush was in office a very brief period of time. I think he has been extremely aggressive.

Hamilton Peterson

We've been reshaping the company for the last three or four years and have completed all our major disposals, so we're really on the growth period now.

Donna Hollen Bolmgren

In theater, you have a rehearsal period and you know just who to be.

The number of disappearances and illegal detention by the state has, however, considerably decreased in the review period.

Sudip Pathak

There will be a period in the middle where people will say it's not happening quick enough, ... But I'm comfortable with that; I'm here for the long term.

Neville Isdell

That's an area that we find problematic. The transition period is going to be slow.

Jeffrey Jacobs

Don't do it if you really don't have to. I wouldn't park down there, period.

Frank Nelson

This was a huge ring. These people really set out to deliberately engage in insider trading over a period of a couple of years.

I would guess you're not going to see a lot of folks announce orders during this period for Boeing products.

Cai Von Rumohr

The critical period in matrimony is breakfast-time.

Alan Herbert

In which case I'm only a week outside the 11-week rest period. As far as I'm concerned, I'm up for selection next week. I know my own body and, most importantly, I know when to listen to it.

Martin Corry

During that time period, there was an escalation ... and I ended up with a black eye. He was agitated and more antagonistic because I was so excited by my work at Microsoft.

Sally Griffith

I seriously doubt Samsung will have the technology they are forecasting in cost-effective volumes in the time period they are indicating.

John Monroe

Typically, we do have most of our snow in the spring period.

Gail Dudack

If the union leadership decides to call a strike, there will be no 30-day cooling off period.

David Reilly

China will purchase more than 100 aircraft each year in the 11th Five-Year Plan period (2006-10).

Isaac in the finals pinned a kid from Pickerington in the second period. I thought it was going to be a dogfight match. He was beating him 7-2 and then pinned him.

Reggie Wax

It was just the first period but it could've helped us. It could've changed the course of the game.

Patrik Elias

No team has an identity yet. The first few weeks will be a feeling-out period.

Steve Rucchin

Over a 20-year period, we have seen the stock market go up and down, and when it's up, we've seen it do great things for us.

Betty Nostdahl

He may have made some phone calls, but a phone call doesn't correct a deficiency. The way I'm looking at it is we've had it for a month out of that seven month period, and that's very common for a building permit.

Grant Tolbert

Everyone knows he is going through a tough batting period but that can happen to the best players, including Adam Gilchrist.

Gerald Majola

I think our grandchildren will look back in some amazement at this period, where we allow Idi Amin to die in his bed, and allow Pol Pot to die after killing 1.7 million.

Geoffrey Robertson

These numbers are particularly noteworthy given the dislocation with markets closed to our livestock for a long period of time. Even when we hit a bump, our diverse agriculture enables us to rebound.

We do take the captain seriously and are following up on this. But it will take time given the period of time that's elapsed since when these allegations took place.

Joseph Curtin

I've seen companies grow tremendously in a very short period of time.

James Lowry

If the Army could say, 'you will be home for this period and then on this date you will deploy,' the Soldiers would be much happier. Not knowing is a stressor on the troops.

Peter Brzezinski

Having one cow in a 12 month period, which is what it's been since they (Canada) had their last one, does not change the minimal risk standards that Canada falls under. So it should not disrupt trade in any way.

Bill Donald

This is the beginning of our party period which will be every Friday night now that summer's here.

Dave Evans

It's a team accomplishment. I really feel that way. In the third period, I didn't get much work.
