I feel compelled to say that this decision will send shock waves through college athletics programs around the country. Playing college football, especially at a school like Georgia Tech, is a privilege, not a right. We must be able to set standards of conduct for our student-athletes, and we must be able to enforce and maintain discipline.

Dave Braine

The devastation that we've seen today is just shocking. Before all this, you would never have thought in these terms.

Mary Bowen

The shock and the disappointment that the parents were feeling, we were feeling right along with them almost in real time, that is one of the reasons that scene is so meaningful for people.

Heidi Ewing

It was a little shocking. I thought, Whoa these guys play for the Netherlands?' But it will be impressive to see all the talent. My parents came from Cuba so it's nice to see all the players play for their teams.

Sergio Perez

In the spring of 2005 during a night shocking survey, we collected 119 bass per hour averaging over 2.5 pounds each. That is a very good number, and the body condition of each was excellent.

Dan Stephenson

It's a terrible blow to them. We're at a loss because we don't know anything about it. It was a total shock.

Bo Smith

We were completely in shock, parents and everyone.

Amy Towe

The shock value is gone from what was considered shocking even five to 10 years ago, which is why it's gone where it is today . . . it's easier to push the limits with something that is temporary.

Sean Dowdell

I am still in shock and awe at being fired.

Peter Arnett

We've gone through this shock period immediately after the bombing when we all reacted simultaneously to condemn it. But now many people are confused as to how to deal with it.

Nazir Ahmed

It was kind of a shock to get the call so quick, but I'm excited. I can do anything they want. I could easily start or relieve.

Patrick Bauer

They've literally flipped the weight. This has been such a shock to classroom teachers.

Paula Brown

I never yelled, never screamed. I was in shock that it was still going on.

John Barton

It was shocking. They had 300 yards in the first half. When coach told us that, our eyes got big.

Jonathan Wilhite

It's a mistake a lot of advertisers make when you go purely for entertainment or shock and forget about the brand. It's all about the product.

Patrick Knoll

It's very much a shock to us.

Danny Clayton

It's such a shock. It really is. So close to home, a couple of blocks up the road -- way too close to home. It's so sad.

Charlene Lowry

It feels like someone just pulled the rug out from under us. I'm still in shock. We're determined, though, to find another site as quickly as possible before time runs out.

Yvette Williams

My girlfriend is in shock right now.

Carlos Casillas

[He adds:] It's a shame, because he is good at what he does. There's no doubt. Ask any other player what he did for English rugby and they'll tell you it was massive. ... Whether he can do it with football is another question... but Clive's made a living out of shocking people in what he does.

Mike Tindall

With the current account deficit already extending above the equivalent of six per cent of gross national product, the balance of payments is vulnerable to a bird-flu-type of shock.

Tim Ash

I was appalled. It was just shocking. I'm a woman and a black woman. Every woman needs to be angry about this. Every man and every child. Duke is trying to hide this and they're not going to get away with it.

Betty Greene

This is a tremendous shock on the department.

Thomas Streicher

Looking at every shock we have sustained since World War I, the trend has been to fall, then rally, and then move on to higher highs.

Robert Stovall

It was a little shocking. After a while, we came to expect it. He fits the role, and we became gung ho about it, supporting him.

Ryan Barth

It was shocking, it happened so quick and then the next thing you're waking up in intensive care three weeks later.

Brian Harvey

I do like to shock and surprise people. When it's all in good fun, of course.

Ruth Warrick

You've got about 50 police officers and beverage agents who are in complete shock.

Troy Williamson

I know what's coming. I let them know what might come, so it's not a total shock to them when it does happen.

Rose Wertz

We are feeling a bit of sticker shock, at 1.3 times sales.

Myles Walton

The real shock was when somebody would turn into their driveway, so to speak, and their next-door neighbor had a huge billboard on their front lawn.

Mayor Scott Slifka

It goes to show that in life you can be here today and nothing is guaranteed. It's certainly shocking to us a community to have someone across the street so suddenly disappear.

Ruben Rodriguez

This is at a scale that is really shocking. There is a certain kind of arrogance that in the past you might not have had. They were so supremely confident that there didn't seem to be any kind of moral compass here.

Mickey Edwards

People question the meter reading. It is definitely sticker shock. It doesn't hit you until you open that bill in December, January, February.

Chase Kelley

It?s shocking to the family, it?s shocking to the friends.

Ann Marsh

I'm not expecting any of Auburn's commitments to jump ship on signing day. That would come as a shock to me and as a shock to those associated with the program.

Bryan Matthews

It was shocking. He's like the bulldog on the team.

Darrell Fisherbaugh

My condolences and those of everyone else's on this team goes out to that man's family. I didn't know what to say about it. It was just a shock. Everybody on the bus felt bad about it. Everyone was just looking around like this man just lost his life. This is bigger than basketball.

Tyrese Rice

The lack of effort shown by the Department of Justice in investigating this very substantial fraud is shocking.

Stephen Munkelt

They were in a little shock. There really wasn't much said. Our football program is bigger than any one person.

Craig Johnston

We'll shock the world. And when we do it, it'll be the greatest baseball story ever written.

Tim Chambers

What is shocking these days? ... We are surrounded by appalling, shocking things; we are slightly inured to it. In the realm of things that can happen in a marriage, there are potentials which are horrible but you deal with it. But this is so far out there.

Jennifer Ward

They made it a big deal after the Kentucky game. That particular night, believe me, I'm not thinking about that. We got home, and all of that was a total shock to me.

Don Haskins

It?s unbelievable she?s still here, it?s shocking to me. She?s been a real heart breaker for us because she?s such a wonderful dog.

Joanne Draper

This is a very delicate moment. The economy is already very imbalanced. On top of that, we've had a massive oil shock and now we have a natural disaster that might be something of a tipping point.

Nouriel Roubini

It is the shocking split that has left Hollywood stunned.

Nancy O'dell

I got a letter in July saying I was one of the 12 finalists. ... About three weeks later I found out I won. I was sort of in shock.

Miller Oberman

This is good to get the kids out of the shock of laying off practice through the summer and it's good for the parents because it's easy to get them out of bed.

Jeff Sanders

MSFT could feel modest selling pressure in near-term following 'shock value' of DOJ's proposal that Microsoft be broken up into two separate companies.

Chris Shilakes

Honestly, some of the things that happen will absolutely shock people. It's very unlike what people think of Gilligan's Island...viewers will absolutely be entertained.

Rachel Hunter

We had heard some rumblings that it might close, but no one thought it would. We're kind of in a state of shock right now. They need to practice this week, they have sectional swim meet at the end of the week.

Mark Mcguire

I knew he had bought the ring but I had no idea he was going to ask me this morning. It was a complete shock to me.

Julie Williams

This terrible thing that happened in my life was such a shock because I never saw any signs of violence or abuse in their marriage.

Thelma Soares

It was kind of shocking, ... There were plans for him to come on campus for a particular event. When it came through he had resigned, we were all a little stunned.

John P. Foley

It's a terrible shock and loss. He contributed so much to the field of jazz.

Saul Levine

I didn't think she would come back. It wasn't much of a shock.

Crystal Kelly

We're just in shock and disbelief. This is a heavy (situation) ... It's stunning. (The allegations) came out of the blue.

James Murphy

I am still in a little bit of shock. I was beaten up for two days on the stand years ago (by an aggressive defense lawyer). The DNA did not fade away. DNA does not lie.

Kathleen Ham

I think people are still in a state of shock.

John Dunn

We had some great fun, especially during 2002, and Michael's death is a huge shock for everyone who knew him. My co-driver, Nick Grist, has also lost a very close friend.

Colin Mcrae

For me he was fine, nothing abnormal in any way. The whole thing's a shock. You don't think about anything like this with colleagues. We know almost nothing about their background. The university is made up of all sorts of people, you don't presume anything.

John Findlay

There are persons who, when they cease to shock us, cease to interest us.

Francis Herbert Bradley

I was playing for Colorado, and we were in Arizona. I was just getting up, and one of my family members called me and told me what was happening. I remember just feeling shock. I still remember that eerie feeling.

Jacob Cruz

We've got to stop a wage-price spiral coming after the oil price shock. But so far we haven't seen such second-round effects.

Otmar Issing

It's exciting. I'm still in awe; I'm in shock from it. I'm excited for the chance to go to state in an individual event as a sophomore because I know some of my teammates didn't get a chance to make it.

Kate Marschner

When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs as you do, you can relax a little and use more normal means of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock, to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind, you draw large and startling figures.

Flannery O'Connor

This is horrifying and it's sickening. Aside from the beating itself, the other thing that was shocking to me was the officer keeping him face-down when he's in obvious distress and trying to turn on his side so he could breathe more easily. That's the classic position for asphyxia. Those officers are lucky he didn't die.

Mary Howell

Try and shock the unresponsive spouse. A financial planner can be helpful because he or she's an objective third party who can point out you're not going to make it at this [savings] rate.

Chris Cordaro

When they walk into a college classroom there's no shock. They are prepared and feel confident.

Mark Bollinger

I am still in shock to think that so much money is being put into West Indies cricket.

Sir Everton Weekes

It was kind of shocking. You don't really think it's going to happen to you. My jaw just kind of dropped.

Karl Swanson

We were sitting there in shock. And I turned to other people who had worked on the film, and we were completely confused. But the audience didn't seem to notice or care.

Jason Reitman

We strain to renew our capacity for wonder, to shock ourselves into astonishment once again.

Shana Alexander

The whole thing has taken me by shock.

Joel Davis

The difference with this disaster is that we have an energy shock.

Laurence Meyer

Run downstairs and looked in my yard. I couldn't believe my eyes. I shook my head, kind of in shock.

Keith Mccrimmon

Once people get past the initial shock of being asked to choose which column to read or which button to click on to enter the Web site, they'll see that the content is the same. When you look back, the civil rights movement has been portrayed as tearing apart the country. In retrospect, however, perhaps one of Dr. King's greatest legacies is the way in which he brought so many Americans together.

John Livengood

We had a very strong shock. There has been aftershock activity but we can't make any forecasts.

George Skordilis

The demand shock from India and China could turn into a supply shock because the reserve situation is so tight. Plus the geopolitical risks.

Laura Tyson

The first grand prix weekend of 2006 has been a shocking way to start the year.

Tsutomu Tomita

They're going to put a lot of pressure on us. We've got to recognize what they're doing and try to create holes for our runners and give Shock time to throw the ball.

Nick Jones

They're in crisis mode. They were paying cash before and then want Medicare to pay for it. It's been a real shock, to say the least.

Warren Hernand

It's a very shocking and profound change of the EU's position. The EU's proposal seems to represent an historic shift in the regulatory approach to the Internet from one that is based on private sector leadership to a government, top-down control of the Internet.

David Gross

It's superb, definitely. Something that is new to me, that is shocking. I got the news last night about 3 in the morning, and I don't think I even went back to bed.

Scottie Pippen

We're all kind of in a state of shock right now. It's times like this that really test your faith. For some reason, we weren't supposed to win that game.

Joe Mihalich

All five of them could win this event. I swear to God. I know five players can't win it, but each one could. It would be a new experience for some of them, and for others, it wouldn't be a shock.

John Kennaday

But there's nothing there and that's quite a shock.

Mark Stanley

It seems we are capable of immense love and loyalty, and as capable of deceit and atrocity. It's probably this shocking ambivalence that makes us unique.

John Scott

It's a shock that he only did five episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and 20,000 fans are here this week to honor him.

David Morris

I tried to flip him on the bed, but he missed the bed and hit the floor. I was in shock. I ran out of the house. I think he was unconscious.

Sherry Murphy

It was quite a shock to my nervous system because I'd never been in a school play or anything and I'm basically reticent about speaking in public.

Frank Perdue

The Europeans must finally understand the incredible shock triggered by the attacks of September 11.

Brent Scowcroft

It was a total shock. It was like I was hit in the head with a brick. I went into complete shock.

David Isay

My first reaction was pure shock. I was numb and could not believe that it was happening.

Ken Bowersox

We are not talking about trainee on trainee sex here in the allegations that came out of Aberdeen and elsewhere, ... We are talking about allegations that leaders did not do their jobs. That, to an Army general and to his colleague the secretary, is shocking.

Togo West

They were shocked, devastated. We deeply understand that they are. We are devastated at these shocking developments.

Thomas Hanke

I was totally in shock. I thought the deadline had passed.

Mary Hamilton

It's a real culture shock. Leaving is not only hard because they would be so isolated from their parents, friends and family, it's also like a foreign country.

Don Kraybill

His business sense is crazy. We can definitely do something. I think that might shock the world.

Beanie Sigel

I am shocked. It is quiet here, especially this part of the estate. I wouldn't expect this. It is just shocking.

Sue Allen

It's clear the Clintons and their attack dogs and their surrogates are already stooping to throwing mud, which is not much of a shock. They are very much afraid of Jeanine.

Michael Mckeon

It had been iffy on and off for the past year. They had said last year that if they could not find a buyer they would shut down. It is still a shock because we were hoping it would be sold so that we would be open.

Joy Wright

It felt like someone was pounding on the window. But it was the aftermath that was shocking.

Melinda Shiraki

It came as a real shock to us. It's crazy. We just couldn't believe it.

Ryan Daubenmire

It was still a shock to see it in black and white.

Kathy Strong

It's just shocking how far off the charts 9/11, the tsunami and the hurricanes are.

Patrick Rooney

At our school, he [Jack Black] was the serious thespian dramatist. When I see him rocking out now, I find it shocking.

Sean Astin

She's fit in really well and has even helped me out. Mallory is one of those guards that can really rebound. She'll shock you. Sometimes she'll get one and I'll be like, 'Where'd you come from?' She's the shocker.

Teka Brooks

I never tell the girls; they didn't know, especially after the vault we had. Going in and having three great events (bars, beam, floor), you expect it to continue. It was shocking when it didn't. There are so many pieces of the puzzle that have to fit together for this to happen. I'm sad to see the season end, then again, I'm glad it's over.

Karen Kuhlmann

She's in shock right now. I don't think it's really hit home yet.

Teresa Caffese

There have to be some boundaries. The butt of the joke cannot be God or the prophet or the religion itself. I'm very careful about sacrilegious humor. I'm not a shock comic who's going to do something that will inflame Muslims.

Azhar Usman

It doesn't really make a lot of sense. We're all just trying to deal with this. It's really shocking.

Jennifer Jones

We've got to do some more looking. It's considerably away from where the main shock was.

Waverly Person

We had a pretty turbulent 2005, yet sales still hovered around 17 million. Regardless of the exterior shock to the market, it seems to weather everything. We don't see any pullback (in sales), but we don't see any gains.

Jeff Schuster

The loss of the West Bank was a shock to everyone.

Al Aqsa

I drove home. I didn't think I was in shock.

Davis Bunn

It was a little bit of a shock.

Ben Utecht

I don't really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don't, it's like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line.

Roman Polanski

[A: At this point, it is another chapter of bad news on top of other bad news.] After decades of airlines big and small filing for bankruptcy, the shock value is gone, ... This doesn't come as a surprise anymore.

Anthony Sabino

Being a 14-year-old kid, it's a shock to their system. It drains their batteries, and it takes them a few days to get back to it. They've got bus legs for three days.

Matt Dineen

It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.

Andre Agassi

There's no shock, there's no surprise, but it's just an unfortunate day.

Rob Mackowiak

The verdict is indeed shocking but no one is above law.

Kumar Mohan

It wasn't a shock. I knew I was going to change colors sooner or later. I just didn't know what team I was going to go to.

Freddy Bynum

It was, definitely [a shock], ... It was a big surprise to me. I wasn't expecting it. But anything can happen in our business. I put everything behind me now. I'm looking forward to the new challenge, new city. I can't wait to step on the ice in Atlanta.

Marian Hossa

We've been hoping against hope that this doesn't happen. It could be another shock to the system.

John Townsend

We are assuming that the shock from a flu epidemic would be even bigger than from SARS.

Milan Brahmbhatt

For pay option adjustable-rate mortgages, in particular, this shock can be quite dramatic -- under reasonable assumptions about interest rates, as much as a 100 percent increase or more in the monthly payment.

John Reich

I think that the idea of just saying we're going to put a cap on it is going to send shock waves through the eligible staff. It seems to me you're going to have some pretty unhappy people. By putting this out, you're going to have people scared.

Chris Miller

The little old lady in Switzerland who by mistake had given a contribution to someone she didn't know to an orphanage in Afghanistan, could be picked up by the United States as an enemy combatant. That's really a shocking thing.

Thomas Wilner

I think it's very sad. It's been a longtime institution and people look forward to it. It's a bit of a shock.

Karen Sanders

We had to replace a rear shock on the car, ... The car was getting faster as qualifying went on but we just ran out of time.

Scott Speed

We came in confident and we came out with a victory. This is going to shock a lot of people.

Justin Brouse

The shock and awe is wearing off, and the anxiety has set in.

Steve Barnes

It wouldn't shock me if we got 600. This has been the most amazing winter. We went from despair to relief that there was snow then back to worrying again.

Jack Mckaig

This is a shocking setback. We need to know what on earth is going on.

Bob Blackman

We definitely do quite a bit of seven-post testing. We rely so much on that, finding the ideal shocks for a given track and staying ahead of the shock development curve.

Matt Borland

It was an unbelievable yacht race, no doubt about that. I got a shocking start and had to dig our way out of that and we were on the pace on the first beat. I told the guys it was going to be a long race and that we would have to dig in.

Mike Sanderson

I know in my mind that she went right up to heaven. I know she forgave her mother. She knows her mother was not in a sane mind. I know. She is forgiving. ... It's such a shock.

Jennifer Czajka

We could have had a great year, but we had injuries, the 'T.O.' thing and all of that stuff. You'd be lying if you didn't say it was a shock.

Mike Bartrum

This is shocking information and there is no good explanation. It's uncharacteristic of a driver with a commercial driver's license, presuming it was Evan Parker, though that is still inconclusive.

John Devilbiss

I'm sure you can imagine the shock and horror I feel knowing that the body found is most likely my baby's.

Janet Pelasara

We're dealing with the short-term supply shock now, although there are still further risks as the hurricane season continues.

Justin Smirk

It's more innuendo, more deconstructionist than trying to be shocking. Adult Swim recognizes that we've all grown up with media. It's our common, shared language.

Michael Ouweleen

It was a shock to me.

Chad Lavalais

Everyone is in shock. People are going through the process of realizing, wow, it's really official. The mayor is gone.

David Muhammad

Oil shocks are a tax on growth, and this is no exception. None of us know how long this supply shock is going to last.

Richard Berner

It's a shock. Teachers have talked about what a good kid he was to have in their classes.

Mike O'mara

If demand continues to surge along you are going to have high prices. Our forecasts currently assume no demand side shock.

Brian Fisher

It's a bit shocking no movie has done it by now.

Chris Aronson

Yes, that was a shock to us. But I'm very happy with how we performed under those conditions. Sometimes when it's like that from the start it can effect the athletes' mentality. But they didn't let it effect them.

Rhonda Faehn

Traditionally Central Asian gas is cheaper, so there won't be any shock for the Ukrainian economy.

Alexei Miller

I have the opportunity not to have this gigantic shock of being not at home and having to start college at the same time.

Matt Barrett

I was dumping mail on a belt when the gunshots suddenly (went) 'boom, boom, boom, boom! It is really very shocking. This is a peaceful place.

Alger Busante

I'm in total shock right now. I just flew back from Alaska this weekend and had no idea it would be counted and we've met our goal.

Rachel Wright

There has been a little bit of sticker shock, but everyone seems to have a positive outlook. I do think in a mass production situation, the price and quality (of cottages) would go down.

Jason Spellings

I find this proposed amendment very, very, very, very shocking. And immoral. And, you know, if civil disobedience is the way to go about change, then I think a lot of people will be going to San Francisco.

Rosie O'donnell

Everybody is kind of numb right now. It's a complete shock.

Jim Nelson

The shock has been palpable. Germans now feel reinforced in their attachment to our social solidarity and are asking if this is what the American economic model produces. The fact Bush is widely disliked has added to the questioning.

Richard Hilmer

I think it's great. I think it's really going to shock everyone.

Victoria Brown

There is an imbalance in terms of the demand and supply of energy which continues to be satisfied, or is increasingly satisfied, by external sources of energy products. Now we have a situation that has been every more complicated because of a domestic supply shock.

Brian Bethune

I think the trouble people have had taking me seriously is the media has spun my campaign as a joke, ... I'm going to shock a lot of pundits.

Justin Jeffre

He was just in shock, didn't know which way to turn. He's a changed young man, forever. I don't think he picked up a basketball all June, July or August.

Bob Leckie

Attack the medical evidence. Remember the jury's full of rheumatism and arthritis and shocking gastric troubles. They love to see a medical man put through it.

John Mortimer

These images are extremely shocking to us.

Dorothea Krimitsas

Those games were going to give us visibility and some extra money, for starters. From the get-go, we knew that in order to gain credibility and respectability and have the chance to shock the world, we were going to have to play with the big boys.

Larry Blakeney

It was the worst fall I've ever seen. He was never unconscious. He was in shock. He didn't even know he broke his wrist, he had so much pain in his mouth.

Mark Macgowan

If you put that minimum wage too high, prices are going to have to go up. I haven't had a price increase in four years. I need one, but I hate to give one because I feel like people have sticker shock everywhere they go.

Glenn Smith

It was certainly a shock when he told us. He did so much for people, not just for music, and that's his legacy.

Andrew Phillips

I wasn't surprised, but it's shocking that people would show up at a solemn occasion for no other motivation but hate.

John Lutsch

National studies are showing that early decay is on the increase, and that's shocking, actually. It's really a silent epidemic.

Mary Hayes

Things like this happen anywhere, but it's still shocking when it happens here.

Patrick Taylor

It would shock me to death if King is not successful in that race.

Tom Slade

It's a big shock, because I don't expect this to happen. I mean, yeah, because of the neighborhood, but not somebody close.

Pete Jones

I'm always really surprised by people who are comfortable revealing all of their secrets on TV or in a magazine. It's actually quite shocking to me.

Annabella Sciorra

I'm still kind of in shock a little bit. I can't believe that happened. I can't describe it.

Gino Guyer

I'm still in a state of shock. My house is gone. I'm so busy dealing with all this that I haven't had a chance to stop and think.

Terri Boarman

I was in a state of witless shock, as though flames had suddenly enwrapped and paralyzed me so that for a moment I had no mind, no memory.

Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

First, it was shock, ... Then depression, and then anger. There were newscasters saying, 'You've got to get out of here, everybody has to go now,' but nobody thought about the people who didn't have cars. And nobody came to help. Nobody brought food ... the system broke apart.

Jill Scott

I think the shock of the event prevents you from feeling anything. I did not feel any pain at all.

Marc Cohn

We're just talking about all the good times we had with them. And just trying to remember all that. They're just in such shock.

Tammy Griffins

It was better than expected, but not a huge shock. This is a seasonably favorable time of year for prices. It was more a case of special factors that you thought were going to make for a bad month not coming in to play.

Michael Hood

She was in a state of shock. We stood there for a good 20 minutes, looking at the picture.

Awilda Cordero

The United Nations is in Iraq on a mission of peace, and for the reconstruction of the country and to support the Iraqi people. Therefore it is all the more shocking that this attack occurred.

Fayssal Mekdad

Just ask the people holding accounting degrees. 'How much did you learn about fraud in college?' The shocking answer: little or nothing.

Joseph Wells

It's a culture shock. We're different. We don't even talk right. Of course we can't understand them either. To them New York is the end of the Earth.

Sally Smith

In addition to providing growth, these markets produce a diverse customer base and protect against a short-term shock in any one region.

William Doyle

To hear gunshots down here, it doesn't even shock us.

Lisa Mcgahee

I don't even know what to say. That's how shocking this is. A lot of us grew up in this league with Tony as our coach. And not just with Tony, but with his family and his kids. It's just stunning.

Mike Alstott

We didn't even look as though we were that hungry to finish them. You can't create that many chances in a game and not score. We have done well to create chances but the finishing was shocking. That's two weeks in a row, it's coast us five points in two games. Obviously we just have to keep plugging away.

Lawrie Mckinna

If we beat them it will be amazing. It might be a shock to everyone else, but I don't think it would be a shock to our team. ... When a tough challenge comes along we play our best.

Sadie Davis

It's a little disappointing to see these guys restructure and then to see them out of the blue announce a 34-percent increase in fuel prices which came as a total shock to them and threw them into a C$100-million loss. It was a little unfortunate.

Jeff Rudderham

It's not catching up with the United States and Japan; on the contrary, China is catching up with the EU.... Our intention of doubling the funds was to create a 'positive shock' which Europe needs right now.

Janez Potocnik

And when other people get that first shocking heating bill, I look for a lot more wood stove customers.

Don Morgan

Everything to do with travel and leisure and theme parks and hotels and casinos is just getting mashed. But I think once people get over their shock and sadness, a vacation might seem like a good idea.

Ralph Wanger

How can the Jackets follow their opening thriller at Auburn by giving North Carolina even the hint of shocking Tech for the second consecutive season?

Tar Heels

Simply put, we prefer that shock absorbers are used for shock absorbers ... not to be a spring assist or a jack or anything else.

John Darby

That was a really disappointing day, shocking day, to give up that sort of lead when we really needed to win to make finals still. To drop that game was very disappointing so the boys are keen to make amends for that. It's a bit of payback I suppose. You want to win every game but it was so disappointing losing that game.

Cameron Ling

Shock. Disbelief. This is a loss to the entire Jewish community.

Isaac Abraham

Depending on what we learn in the next few days this may be the biggest oil-supply shock since the 1970s. We are now in the days of reckoning.

Daniel Yergin
