We've had people come in and pick ( League ) up and realize what a good writer he is. Now they're hooked on his stuff and are looking for other great writers. Now they're comics fans.

Mike Banks

We were a little sloppy on defense but the girls were able to pick up the passing and fight for the win.

Amy Butler

We're getting boards and picking up loose balls. We've been playing well of late. You always hope to be peaking at this stage of the season.

Paul Alioto

It was luck we happened to be picking up our car at the same time. I just followed up on it.

Todd Lee

Amanda never did pick the right men.

Ann Powers

They tell you, pick a school, don't pick a coach. But that's easier said than done.

Trey Hampton

That's a good player. He knew he needed to pick it up. He knew he needed to take over and that was what he did. He handled the ball when he needed to. He made sure we attacked the basket when we needed to. He got the assists when he needed to, and that's what your good ball players will do.

Philip Tronsrue

I tried to tell them they should pick someone else. I know nothing about golf. I've never even hit a golf ball with a golf club.

Beth Mccall

If we can pick up six points from two games then we can close up on the teams above us and make a real fight of it.

Harry Redknapp

The homeowner was in bed, ... The boom knocked the phone off the receiver and when he went to pick it up, he noticed it was really hot.

John Mcpherson

We were able to disrupt them a bit early on with our 2-3 zone. We were picking up our assignments well and creating some havoc. We kept with it.

Jay Mckenna

I tried picking that table up. It was huge. He not only lifted it up, but he put it through a door. I don't know how he did that.

Neal Cotts

If there are people who are not reporting these crimes, we won't be able to pick up the crime patterns.

Billy Jones

I feel very good about what we did tonight. The kids are really picking it up, and we?re looking much better. We were patient, and we played pretty disciplined on defense.

Jim Landis

We'll see if we can just pick up a laptop or get easy information from employees.

Jim Hurst

We hit a few balls and they made a few errors. Which is why really we didn't pick up a lot of hits.

Stephen Burris

Pick who they believe would be the best fit for the city.

Scott Harris

When we played man, they were picking us to death in the first half. When we played zone, they were busting everything from outside. We bounced it around at halftime. But I think the girls knew we had to play man-to-man.

Bob Blake

I've become more bullish on technology stocks. The technology sector is picking up and earnings will probably be better than market consensus.

Koji Nakatsuka

The idea of a focus fund is to devote assets to your highest-conviction stock picks. It makes stock picking critical. A couple of blowups can really damage returns.

Kerry O'boyle

I don't get to pick which issues have come to me in my career, ... They come to me and I have to deal with them, like Hurricane Andrew. I work hard and I'm there.

Tom Gallagher

When the word gets out that Dean isn't liberal - and in fact is quite conservative - on fiscal issues, he'll pick up more McCain support. On fiscal issues, he's far to the right of Ted Kennedy.

Jonathan Alter

Frankly I don't follow Indian athletics to a great extent but I do know that it has started to pick up a bit of late. Five years hence, I expect Indian athletes to be a force to reckon with.

Daley Thompson

Things are definitely picking up in terms of the deployment of WAP services. Carriers are all putting in the infrastructure and they're offering commercial services. It's now a matter of bringing the awareness to the next level.

Sandra Ng

Do what you love, love what you do, leave the world a better place and don't pick your nose.

Jeff Mallett

I thought the biggest challenge we had was prioritizing ... to try and pick and choose what we weren't going to do as much as what we were.

William Perez

I'll expect a lot more than someone picking out a suspect because of what they 'feel' might be the answer. They'll have to prove out their case.

Amanda Clark

She's picking it up really well. She's learning from her mistakes right away, and she's willing to learn. She'll sit down with me and ask me questions. She's just got a great attitude.

Christie Rampone

The person you want may not be the person they pick.

Roger Levine

The ability to pick up one body may not be there, but vaults, mass graves, things of that nature could be seen, and disturbances associated with it.

David Ashburn

I think we need to move forward with all the lakes in the county. That was our goal. Once we get all of those done, by then it will be probably time to go through and pick up ones where we didn't get the full 1,000 feet.

Frank Floyd

It was kind of tough. We had a lot of good players, but we really didn't move the ball. People said we weren't really a team. This year everyone is for each other. We pick each other up when we fall. That helps a lot.

Justin Bocot

Finals were always the best part of the meet. You'd march out for the final and the top seed would get to pick the music. It's kind of sad. My dad couldn't see me swim in my last high-school meet. He was at work. A lot of my friends were going to come up.

Julie Sablik

Like they said in this class, more than likely (terrorists) are going to pick a smaller community because people think they won't.

Lisa Hopper

We have the depth to be able to do that. We're playing ball the way we need to play ball and we're picking up our level of play when we need to.

Shelley Monas

To pick up those two extra weeks is really a shot in the arm for the industry.

Thomas Ferguson

I think with Huston, you could pick a dozen films.

Rob Bibler

They always want to answer the phone but they never know what to say after they pick it up.

Sarah Allen

The base of global growth is strengthening and broadening overseas. It looks like we're picking up the pace and we're moving back into above-trend growth rates.

David Hensley

They get after it. They pick you up full court, and their guards gamble in the passing lanes. That's how they get steals.

Will Blalock

The Indian market is really picking up now. Finally, the market is starting to see some serious growth and that's good.

Nick Ingelbrecht

It was good to see the girls can overcome obstacles and even pick up their game even more. They stepped up and played strong.

Angell Floyd

We cannot let our guard down, because a series of genetic changes could happen at any time that could allow this virus to pick up the capacity to move from person to person.

Dr. William Schaffner

I guess it's up to the Australian selectors. They have the right to pick who they think are the best players.

Steve Noyce

I think all the stars are aligned for the economy to pick up, ... It's been growing; it just hasn't been growing fast enough to create new jobs. But I think the tax package, on top of easy money, will probably kick it over.

Robert Mcteer

I get the advantage of getting the best writing, ... Most people send me their scripts, so it's pretty easy to pick the best writing.

James Burrows

I'm working every day to pick up on it. The better I get, the better the offense gets. You don't like to say everything is put on the quarterback, but if I throw good balls, our receivers are going to make good catches.

Sean Ryan

If your contribution has been vital there will always be somebody to pick up where you left off, and that will be your claim to immortality.

Walter Gropius

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

Bob Uecker

The vast majority of our employees should be just fine at the close of this deal. Having said that, obviously in any kind of merger ... there is an opportunity to pick up some synergies. There will be some consolidation.

Ron Frieson

You can't pick and choose who will be fired for violating [electronic data] policies.

Nancy Flynn

And I'll leave you with an empty bag like this and you can fill it up like this other company did from the Bank of Hawaii. I'll come back and pick it up when it's full.

Tammy Kubo

The younger they are, the faster they pick up the basic techniques.

Richard Ramos

It was all DeAnna in the first half. She carried us until everyone else started picking it up. She was not backing down from anyone, and that's what we needed her to do. And every time we needed a big rebound, she came down with it.

Kelly Mikulski

I would get on the bike every morning and ride around downtown with a knapsack on my back and literally pick up orders, most of them sympathy orders. I just kept that route every day just to let people know we were serious.

Lindsay Gray

All day long it would pick up, die down, then switch directions. I didn't know where I stood most of the day, but I thought the leader would get to 13 or 14-under.

Craig Kanada

Having another set of eyes on the bench with me is unbelievable. She's picking out things for me, and we truly coach as a team. I sit on her bench, she sits on mine and we listen to each other.

Reid Hoffer

I'm inclined to pick up the phone and ask them (state officials) why there is no guidance in handing this, rather than leaving the determination to local election boards. We need to have someone with authority in working with handicapped issues allow us to make a declaration whether or not these locations comply.

Wayne Kramer

Daniel has been out a little bit and to this point Matt is doing very well picking things up and handling the offense. We want to give him more opportunities and see how much he can handle.

Darrell Dickey

If you want to just call him up and ask him about playing the pick-and-roll, he's always there for you. Looking back on it, I probably didn't call him enough.

Blake Stepp

I think it's going to be a great learning opportunity for me. He's a great guy and I just look forward to picking his brain.

Jonathan Cornell

We have a new middle name. Call us the Lady 'One bad inning' Tigers. Two runs is not hard to pick up. But the third inning -- and that's what it's been all season. The girls know that.

Charlene Reyes

Leaders must pick causes they won't abandon easily, remain committed despite setbacks, and communicate their big ideas over and over again in every encounter.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter

We're trying to open it up more for other kids to be threats. ... We need to get consistency from other kids to pick their game up to another level.

Greg Adams

We try to go to the basket as much as we can. If you?re going to play defense as aggressively as they played, you?re going to pick up fouls. That?s just the way it is.

Tony Fannick

You sit at the board and suddenly your heart leaps. Your hand trembles to pick up the piece and move it. But what chess teaches you is that you must sit there calmly and think about whether it's really a good idea and whether there are other, better ideas.

Stanley Kubrick

We'd just pick up rocks and build a pile of rocks, or trees, and you had to kick it through them.

Victor Espiritu

After picking up the first copies from the printer, I went to a meeting of the Professional Organization for Women, a business networking group. When I handed them out, everybody applauded, and I cried.

Jill Duval

If we can find them, we will pick them up and bring them back to the University of Saint Mary.

Sister Diane Steele

We just needed to pick up the defense and the rebounding, and we did that.

Amy Donovan

We don't want to give all of their trade secrets away. (But) they are able to pick out the ads.

Sgt. Shawn Urbas

I was in foul trouble and looked for my teammates to carry the load early in the game. But in the fourth quarter, I knew we had to pick up the intensity and come out strong.

Rashad Mitchell

Anyone nit-picking enough to write a letter of correction to an editor doubtless deserves the error that provoked it.

Alvin Toffler

It is our duty to pick the best possible side on merit regardless of where the players come from.

Colin Love

[The opposing defense] has to pick their poison. Do you want Adam to run or pass? It's a good play, especially when we're effective with our sweeps and options, because then its a deadly play.

Steve Weber

We've got more options on defense and a faster, more up-tempo type of game. Before it was more, look for breaks and then come down and pick-and-roll. Now it's fast break, but if you don't have it, get in a play, run the play, know the options and everything.

Robert Swift

I think the reality of it is that we just don't have the capacity to pick up and carry on without missing a beat, and I think it would be a detriment to their ability to access care.

Cherry Loney

We've been fortunate to pick up where we left off last year. Hopefully we can keep working hard and keep it going.

Jason Andalo

It's a steady, rather than explosive, expansion in the economy with the employment and wage data gradually picking up.

Geoff Lewis

I felt I should have done more than I did by picking up my fouls. I put a lot of the loss on me as a senior because I feel I didn't do all my part.

Donisha Duruisseau

We could pick him, we could pass him or we could wait for the phone to ring.

Phil Savage

Sometimes love will pick you up by the short hairs...and jerk the heck out of you.

Denise Dobbs

I begged to get in. I could run and be upright and play defense, but I couldn't bend over and pick up the ball.

Jim Harney

Pick up the threads.

Jaswant Singh

It must be my goal to win a final, not only to qualify for it. Unfortunately I couldn't pick up my game today. It was just too flat. I'm very disappointed.

Nicolas Kiefer

Once we pick up a trend the appropriate police station will meet to come up with a plan.

Billy Jones

I got tired of looking at it. I thought I might as well pick it up.

Harry Hamilton

Our defense has just got to keep picking it up. There were some times, I thought, that we slacked a little bit in some areas, but our kids will continue to work and that will get better, also.

Kristi Snider

I hope the commercial market will pick up on this. We are all in this together. We all want to get classical music out there.

Roger Wright

I like to bring Kristen off the bench because she is just instant offense. But if you had to pick an MVP tonight, it would be Kristen.

Dan Trease

I think they're obviously trying to cherry pick where there's a gap in the market and use that going forward to gradually roll out other products.

Rob Mercer

The economy is picking up. You have a lot more people looking for work. That's a good sign.

Bill Pendleton

I was proud of our guys for picking up the slack on that play. That was a huge play that really could have been a momentum change.

Todd Abbott

Nobody knew what to do. After a little while, it was obvious he wasn't going to pick it up.

B.j. Surhoff

We call on Iran's spirit of responsibility to re-establish cooperation and confidence, without which the Security Council would have no other choice than to pick up the issue.

Denis Simonneau

When she went to the kindergarten to pick up the child, the teachers questioned her and asked her if she was a family member. When she said she wasn't, the teachers wouldn't let the child go as they thought it could be dangerous.

Ashley Wu

To be complete, to be a destination for food rather than just a place to pick up a few staples, Target really has to expand its grocery.

Stan Pohmer

We want the president to pick another solid conservative, and that's what we expect him to do.

Manuel Miranda

We're not asking you to pick up the tab for other industrial customers that go away. That is not true.

John Pledger

I think it's great, personally. Now everyone's got to perform. It's another level of intensity. Everyone is kind of picking it up.

Marco Sullivan

I'm sure whoever is going to choose the new coach will make a good decision and pick somebody who will continue our success.

Austin Kelly

That grocery store, that was something. You would be just tickled to go in there and pick out any candy you could want.

Ruth Johnson

It was literally a miracle. There was no other ship in the area ... able to pick up the crew.

Harry Costello

If you're going to pick an opponent to see where you're at, you couldn't pick a better team (than St. Mary's). Every aspect of their game is just nails.

Dustin Lanz

I've gotten to know him pretty well from cocktail parties over the years, ... He's a very fine guy, a very nice guy and is extremely well qualified for the Court. It actually surprised me that Mr. Bush would pick someone this good.

Craig Bradley

We needed to pick up the defensive aspect. We were fine offensively. Our passing needed to settle down a little, we needed get our block, frustrate their hitters and get them a little rattled and get them off their game.

Dan O'dell

We put hard work into this. Given the situation, we'll see if they can pick up the tab. Due to the delay in publication, we feel it's fair.

Jake Sanches

I'm looking to play somebody up North, and I'm looking to pick up two good teams.

Randy Blankenship

I've beaten her 43 to 44 because she hasn't played in eight months and I've been playing every day. I have to pick my spots and try to get in her head.

Muffet Mcgraw

If raw materials pick up again, of course we have to go back to product prices. But if raw material prices are stable we will not go through to our customer.

Matthias Zachert

We look for a cross-section of different personalities. We try to pick people from all walks of life. We also look for people who you wouldn't expect to be doing this sort of thing.

Brad Lyons

The teachers will get together, and they'll pick something that's best for their school.

Roger Takabayashi

You don't want to pick a family that just created a fund they don't have a history in.

Gary Ambrose

I'm a self-taught musician aside from what I've been able to pick up from other players.

Walter Becker

You know in his tone of voice, his facial expressions. When he has a meeting, he doesn't have to scream and yell, he can just give you that face and that tone he has, and you know we had better pick it up and get going again.

Tino Martinez

Some people find it equally as entertaining to come down here and volunteer on this end because you're the person picking up the phone answering. It gets to be kind of frenzied and it's fun.

Jim Gray

Picking a class of taxpayer and saying, `You get to pay for this,' that's unconstitutional.

John Long

The defense is the heart of our team. The defense has carried us in practice. When things aren't going well, they're the ones who pick us up.

Connor Jostes

We were told to go to Universal Studios to pick up a camper of a movie and TV star.

Ross Rasmussen

That kind of answered all my questions. The damage was pretty good, pretty extensive. He got to walk through the house and pick up some of the things that might have been good, which wasn't much.

Richie Stevens

I couldn't be happier with it, ... Probably the favorite song I did...though, hard to pick as each of the four are so different from one another.

Joey Jordison

We needed a win to pick our confidence level back up heading into the conference schedule. We got a lot of it back tonight. Our offensive line was opening holes that our coaches could run through.

Jeff Simpson

I think the market is expecting a slight increase and so if they don't do anything, I think you'll see a sell-off. If it's increased more than expected, you might get a little pick-up -- but it's keeping the market a little on edge.

Mario Derose

There's good evidence that economic momentum globally is picking up and that's typically positive for commodities and the Australian dollar.

Stephen Walters

He's more aggressive as far as blocking and picking up blitzes and reading the holes in the run game. It makes a lot of difference in getting first downs.

Maurice Stovall

I want someone going to work nearby and I don't have to travel too far to drop off and pick up.

Dean Hansen

I've been picking around with the game now for some time, but I've never seen anything like this -.

Richie Benaud

I can't wait for my little sisters to start dating, because it will really be fun to pick on their boyfriends.

David Gallagher

Our (third and fourth line) is gonna be important, a big factor, especially when you play every other night for the rest of the season. The third and fourth lines have to pick it up and be the difference most nights.

Chris Simon

They have more maturity, more experienced players than Santa Barbara. At this point I'd say I pick (Long Beach) as a favorite.

Faith Mimnaugh

That needs to happen first so we can pick up some classroom space.

John Brondon

There was a long discussion on middle order batting and we thought that this is the best team we can pick for Pakistan.

Kiran More

The manager has been doing extra work with the front players and it has been brilliant for us. He is such a great finisher that you cannot help but pick up tips from him.

John Robertson

We weren't completely focused and after our swims yesterday, we knew we had to pick it up today. We were swimming for ourselves today.

Laura Stark

Our laws and regulations are not set up to pick and choose, ... It should be across the board, not just those deemed politically correct by a special interest.

Chris West

You cannot pick the fruit and let it ripen later. That is when the flavor is lost.

José Roberto Prado

People are going to have to wait around forever on the bus, and that will look bad on the city of Myrtle Beach. If they have to wait too long, they'll pick a taxi instead.

Mark Price

We're very efficient at picking because we're not wasting much motion. Once we go through the pick path, we're basically picking everything that's needed for those six stores. In the old world we had to do six walks up and down the aisle.

Steve Belardi

This is my second pick as far as my favorite golf course, with my first being Augusta. I couldn't afford the greens fees, so my wife got me this as my gift for my 31st.

Brian Freeland

I believe in fate and the final is on May 26 - the same date Marseille beat Milan 11 years ago. It is my dream to become the first Frenchman to pick up the Champions League trophy.

Didier Deschamps

The next step is to review the two proposals we have received and pick the best one.

Jim Doherty

They (St. Andrew's) could have a bad game and if we can pick up our game, we can surprise them.

Rick Freeman

He's on a nice little roll. You have to pick your times when you double him. ... He's a load. He's a career double-double since he's been in the league. He makes it tough for a lot of teams.

Mike Woodson

I'm numb. I didn't think this was going to happen. We knew we were going to play our best. They pick their time and they go. All 11 guys were plugged in from the beginning.

Budd Ditchendorf

We changed up our defense a little bit for this game. We went to a 5-4-1. It helped our defense pick up some free balls.

Jon Cartwright

It took her a while to pick up from that and she was probably only going to win by a neck but when she drifted back to the inside and found the rail she really put her mind on the job.

Michael Cahill

It's very hard, very hard, to pick one child's work over another, because they are all deserving of the award (to hang in the Statehouse). Eventually one piece just stands out.

Karen Blenner

Things get going from here on out. The competition is going to step up. We know that things pick up in a hurry. We've done a nice job with the learning, but we need to move forward with every game.

Ted Wolford

You're up 31-15, that sucker should be over, and then we give up a 10-0 run. That's all we talked about at halftime, was picking it up defensively.

Keith West

Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.

Jonathan Kozol

The push is on for commodities and that's being led by strong demand, but the trick is in picking the end of the cycle.

Andrew Harrington

We believe we should be less concerned with picking the bottom of the market and begin to accumulate those stocks whose fundamentals appear to be improving.

Keith Benjamin

We'll pick something people know but something that hasn't been beaten to death.

Bill Fox

Business conditions especially in the PC supplier area were picking up in August.

Dan Scovel

We're making fun of people who pick ridiculous targets to blame anything about what's going on in their lives, so Canada was just the perfect, ridiculous, innocuous choice for a target.

Marc Shaiman

When you see some of the advantages that your area has to compete, you hate to see companies pick up and move away. I think it's a mistake on their part. I think the stronger argument is to move the Cincinnati operations (to the Valley), instead of moving this operation up there.

Steve Ahlenius

You go to the back lines where Baptist teams from Bolivar, and later Bartlett, were prepping the food. Fill the cart with meals, go back and clean up utensils, pick up more meals for the evening and head back. Serve the meals, head back and clean up once more.

John Quinn

When he's not managing, he's open and forthcoming, I had to be far more quiet [about being around] and pick my spots with Tony. And never after a loss.

Buzz Bissinger

Have fun with it. It isn't often a team gets a No. 1 pick.

Trudi Lacey

I don't really feel like it set me back too much, just because I'm able to pick up things pretty quickly.

Oshiomogho Atogwe

I'm not a player who will just sit and pick up my wages if I am not playing.

Arjen Robben

Whenever I pick up the phone to ask for a donation from one of my friends in the transportation industry, I always feel a sense of joy and pride when they say they can help, knowing that I can get food out to people that need it.

Lisa Young

We told him he needed to pick up his intensity a little bit. He came out and did that. He's had two good outings and one not so good.

Don Money

All of the guys who are here seem to be picking up the offense really good. They're all in pretty good shape.

Jamie Christian

They've done a good job of getting 'Nevada' out there prominently. We don't always pick up the other states' plates. It's hard to make out some of those.

Kevin Honea

Call it biblical. Call it apocalyptic. Whatever you want to call it, take your pick.

Robert Lewis

If you have two big men who can score that close to the basket, it requires [defensive] help. So, if they help on Jai, he can pass to Will, or find a [perimeter] shooter. Basically, the defense has to pick its poison.

Lamar Butler

We're just trying to pick the best team for this game, first and foremost, but he's a young bloke who is hopefully going to be around the team for a long time.

Ricky Ponting

We are all one team. We are always picking each other up during the games, and when we aren't playing we all laugh and joke around together.

Neil Smith

My mother-in-law gave me some good advice about being in the kitchen. Choose your imagination, which means if you find a recipe and you don't have all the ingredients, just pick something else to put in its place.

Kate Webster

All of us have gone through hell to have the fourth pick in the draft. There have been a lot of tough things, so we are looking at it as an opportunity. It gives us flexibility. We paid the dues for it, so we are going to try to enjoy it.

Jesse Kaye

If I were to pick one outstanding aspect of his bowling, it would be his accuracy.

Intikhab Alam

They have an inside-outside game and you basically have to pick your poison. Part of it was fatigue, some of it was getting away from playing the way we need to be successful and it took us too long to try to get that back.

Tim Buckley

Clackamas is a very physical, very athletic team. It's going to be a huge test for us, and we will have to pick it up if we're going to beat them.

Thurman Bell

A lot of them don't know what they're doing. You have to explain to them that they can pick the numbers themselves, or they can let the computer do it.

Thomas Carter

You pick a school on the people. Wisconsin has the people.

Chris Hickey

The moderation is certainly very slow in arriving, even allowing for the usual lag in data, and these sectors' problems are clearly being mitigated by a pick-up in business investment and commodity exports.

Michael Every

That's kind of what it's about as a team. We've got to pick each other up.

Cole Gillespie

The central bank is taking a pre-emptive action. Confidence is rising, sales are picking up and the central bank is looking at higher growth next year.

Im No Jung

That's it, right there, when you pick up that Q-School entry form, filling that out again. I really don't know how to explain how it feels. It (stinks).

Hunter Haas

It's difficult to pick up and move a large pulp-and-paper mill.

Curt Copenhagen

It's hard to find this place. And rather than give directions over and over again, we go to the beach or base to pick them up.

David Barlow

It implies that I, personally, am not terribly good at what I do, but it needs to be said. Across the system, you can't have a great group of faculty if you're the last pick.

Christopher Keller

Every year when you go into finals and are picking sides there are always going to be unfortunate players that miss out and certainly Adam is.

Robert Wiley

Earnings have come in mixed and you have to pick your stocks carefully. The overall outlook for the markets is good.

Geoff Langham

I was concentrating on the ball. I saw her cross over and tried to pick it off and I did.

Tifany Zaragoza

Past performance doesn't have anything to do with future performance. It's a massive delusion. It's the most insane thing in the world. You want a pick a fund with low turnover where the management has been around for a long time.

John Gunn

We set our expectations high. We are frustrated with the entire weekend, with some of the mistakes we made in the infield and with the pitching. We have to pick up our intensity. Instead of being careless we have to get after it.

Brad Boyer

Who can complain about somebody that gets elected, when nobody went and voted for him? If you don't like the Democrats, pick you a Republican. Pick somebody. Get off the couch and go vote.

Jimmy Adams

We've got a young team, but we played better today picking up a few goals.

Tim Tierney

The consumer wants US beef. There are people already flocking around the beef case picking up US beef.

Richard Chang

For people to pick on the models is inappropriate.

Neil Currie

The radio personality responsible for picking the movie will introduce the movie and say why they chose it and student are certainly encouraged to give feedback.

Beth Whisman

This is a smart move. You try to pick a nominee that Democrats won't be able to criticize as much because they are a woman or minority. This is a classic Clarence Thomas strategy.

Artemus Ward

Demand is starting to pick up again, but it's not up that much.

Mark Waggoner

Ripe for the picking.

Mike Vanderjagt

Solid waste ordinances say put bulky items in the alley and we'll come pick it up. We say if you put bulky items in the alley, you'll get a letter and a citation.

Lesli Andrews

The easy pick is to say U2 is going to win, but I would say keep your eye on the 'O Brother' soundtrack, because I think they've got a shot at that award.

Alan Light

I'm glad to see the work being done, ... It's a simple, noninvasive, potentially inexpensive test that will pick up early lung cancer. That would certainly be a big help.

Dr. Norman Edelman

I encourage them to pick a book that's a little bit harder than they normally read because they're reading with their mothers. Like adult book clubs, it exposes them to books they might not have been exposed to otherwise.

Tracy Sullivan
