I hope to set up somewhat of a legacy. I've been feeling under the weather the last couple of days but I totally had my game face on today.

Roland Schoeman

One of the reasons adults buy cell phones for the first time is in the event of an emergency, you have a way to talk to someone. Fear is a powerful thing. I do believe that a lot of parents are going to find this somewhat compelling.

Lewis Ward

I thought we discussed wages and COLAs in our closed session and the board established bargaining guidelines last week. I'm somewhat at a loss that this is a continuing discussion.

Michael Lombardo

The prevailing sentiment tends to be somewhat negative after the earnings reports.

Michael James

It's going to remain somewhat unsettled. Windward areas will continue to get showers, but probably not of the intensity they've been.

Bob Farrell

Gas prices are moderating somewhat, but they're still bouncing all over the place.

Don Olsen

When I walked into the building I did notice the odor primarily in the north end of the building and somewhat in the center area. I did not notice it in the south area or the east area and slightly in the auditorium, not as much as other people had reported on the day of the survey. Obviously odors change over time.

Robert Rottersman

The equity market's strength is going to continue and that's proving a great attraction for foreign investors. That will help the currency somewhat and is indicative of an economy that is outperforming its peers.

Michael Metcalfe

The market has been somewhat aware of oil and the dollar/yen as potential risks for Japanese shares.

Masaaki Higashida

[WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:] The location is extremely convenient to MacDill Air Force Base but yet it's still a very quiet and somewhat secluded location for South Tampa, ... There's not a lot of new developments going in around there.

Jack King

No doubt it would increase our tax base, assess the valuation somewhat, increased revenues from the buildings that he would put up and the animals he would have in those facilities.

Paul Campbell

It's an ongoing debate; I'm not surprised that the public tends to be somewhat interested in it.

Rob Crowther

Last year there was somewhat of an absence of the PC from the boom; it was very much consumer electronics centric. This year, I think it will be more evenly balanced where we will see the effects of the consumer cycle include more computing products.

Tom Trill

We're continually trying to expand our bikeway system whenever we can. We're trying to build these into road projects when we do them. When it happens is somewhat development driven.

Kirk Bednar

We've diversified our cargo somewhat recently. It helps stabilize the high and lows of each commodity. Our tonnage is up 50 percent over the last five years.

Dean Haen

How far should public officials go in protecting somewhat indifferent citizens who have other concerns?

Peter May

People are somewhat concerned they can spread, but I kind of doubt they can. We don't have that much of their kind of habitat. There's not a whole lot of prairie around here. It's more corn and soybeans.

Joel Anderson

People should plan carefully, think about saving more and plan to work somewhat longer.

Andrew Eschtruth

There are a lot of other very highly qualified lawyers who have more of a public record than John Roberts. The fact there is not a strong paper trail should make it easier for the president to sell this candidate, which is somewhat regrettable but this is a political appointment and, so, political factors are key.

Allan Wolf

I think investors are somewhat nervous about the economic data coming out. Once investors do become more convinced that we are near the end of the rising interest rate cycle, the market will turn around.

David Presson

Having to search for a chairman and CEO could delay the turnaround for some period of time. They have a somewhat diminished but still strong market position.

Charles Disanza

There's a ton of gluing being done now. I don't think it should replace nailing, and the glue itself can be somewhat harmful to the hoof. But it is a terrific way to give the horse's hoof walls a break.

Rob Spencer

The day of the three-sport star has become somewhat extinct these days.

Rick Wolff

I am somewhat nervous about this meeting, ... But I will just present the truth of my two accusations. Please pray for me.

Paul Chevedden

The possibility of North Korea making a (positive) decision increases somewhat if economic assistance is dangled in front of their eyes.

Noriyuki Suzuki

My mom grew up in Spanish Harlem and the Bronx and gave me an invaluable piece of advice for dealing with people in New York - if someone’s bugging you just act crazy. I’ve modified her approach somewhat. Public displays of religiosity work just as well as feigning psychosis.

Waiter Rant

It is a long and somewhat tedious process, but it is of utmost importance... to the criminal justice system.

Leonard Sand

People were somewhat focused on the trade surplus numbers. Japan is ultimately an exporting country and those exports are getting more expensive.

Robert Sasaki

I think it is somewhat protected because guys are better shooters, and I also think that a player with that kind of ability would go early [to the NBA]. Never is a long time.

Dickie Hemric

Nasser's been the primary architect of a failed transformation of Ford from its core automotive heritage to some expansive consumer-centric organization, which we think employees, dealers, suppliers and investors have found to varying degrees to be somewhat incomprehensible.

Scott Hill

The U.S. economy is at a good cruising speed. We can expect fourth- quarter GDP to be somewhat weaker.

Bernd Weidensteiner

Expectations for the brokers have turned somewhat more negative. We're not terribly excited about the near-term prospects for a lot of these stocks.

Frank Barkocy

The information was somewhat specific as to date and time, and this required appropriate investigation follow-up to be conducted. At this point, no evidence collected to date has corroborated the threat as it's going on. However, the investigation is still ongoing.

Kevin Perkins

It makes sense that as NATO forces go in, and they're more in numbers, that we could drop some of the U.S. requirements somewhat.

Genjohn Abizaid

The other 10 guys need to give him some help. We've got a lot of talent at other positions, and to make that kind of commitment to one guy can be somewhat risky.

Bill Snyder

Women will win in a situation where there is no vote-in. Women are women?s worst enemies. This should somewhat negate both the regional slant and the bias against women.

Ashish Kaul

We think the first half of the year is going to be somewhat slow, pick up later in the year and in the fourth quarter we'll be back up to levels like we are now.

Boone Pickens

I had virtually given up on the case, but the aftermath has surprised me most of all. One can feel somewhat hopeful now that some good will come out of all this.

Sabrina Lall

It still seems somewhat of a pure event, something that athletes are doing for the pure joy of sports and winning.

Howard Bloom

Near-term gasoline prices are likely to go somewhat higher. Are we going to see two bucks again? Not anytime soon.

David Hackett

To our mind, both the price and the requirement for the work class vehicle are somewhat overblown.

Phil Nuytten

Lightning strikes with regularity in the high country, but when people get hit, it usually happens at the high spots. This was somewhat unusual in that it happened on the edge of a meadow. It's usually a pretty safe place.

William Tweed

That large a group said 'yes' is somewhat telling.

Betsy Meter

That's somewhat encouraging, because prior to last year, the Southern Sierra had been a little deficient.

Frank Gehrke

It (consumer sentiment) was a little higher than expected, but the stock market has come back, gasoline prices have come down, and the weather has been beautiful and that has to affect consumers somewhat.

Mark Vitner

Until the housing bubble finally pops, builders and realtors will earn healthy incomes from current or even somewhat-lower housing activity levels, ... However, actual stimulus from housing to U.S. economic growth is about spent.

Michael Bazdarich

Is it a down year in the Big Ten region? No. But I think it's somewhat down in the particular areas Iowa seems to go to most often.

Bobby Burton

It's sad, but Manson has become somewhat of a folk hero to young people. He gets four fan letters a day.

Stephen Kay

The reaction from Washington is somewhat surprising.

Peter Struck

It's a charged issue emotionally because you have families that have lost a member and they want to have the ability to memorialize that person. The goal is to have this statewide policy in place so that all sides can be satisfied somewhat.

Melissa Savage

We're somewhat competitive in every event. In order to be successful, we've got to stay healthy and we've got to be eligible.

Rich Pellegrini

Delegates calmed the situation down by noting that the gesture from the Government was appreciated while it was the Board's response that was infuriating. The unveiling of the alternative credit card was somewhat overshadowed by the events.

Martin Cooney

[However, some economists warn about interpretation of the OECD's signals.] While their analysis is seen as proper, it is also somewhat out of date, ... If it was up to date it would be taken more seriously.

Adrian Schmidt

They're somewhat easier, because they're self-contained. They don't have the same maze of menus and screens you have to navigate with software.

James Billington

We continue to believe the company's assumptions appear to be somewhat aggressive given the recent softening in demand trends and the weak orders in the quarter.

Patrick Murray

The only mention I'll make of the Simpson case is that it provided a sea-change for all of our lives. I'm still the same lawyer as I was before, but the opportunities were somewhat different and I was asked to move to New York, at least part of the time, to do a television show.

Johnnie Cochran

There's enough revenue in the country, there's enough taxes -- but there's not enough sharing of them. Municipal governments need somewhat more to deliver their responsibilities.

James Knight

We'll have to see how those programs do. Those have traditionally been somewhat difficult and a headache (for PC vendors); it means more support calls and technical calls.

Richard Shim

The last time we played Forest, we stayed somewhat even with them for 55 minutes. It was 2-1 at that point, so we've shown ourselves that if we're at our best, we can stay with them. We all know how good Forest is; they're going to be tough to beat.

Ray Moore

Interest rates have been creeping up slowly, and we've definitely seen somewhat of a softening in home sales.

Lauren Young

Intel is somewhat late to the game.

Sarah Kim

They hadn't wasted any time at all to try to return these people's lives to somewhat of a sense of normalcy.

Dr. James Anderson

As we expected, mortgage rates moved upward a little in response to the current volatility in the financial markets. Economic reports are mixed, and this will keep mortgage rates bouncing up and down somewhat, probably for the rest of the year.

Frank Nothaft

I'm somewhat happy. I'm not happy with the jump, but I'm happy with the first place.

Marshevet Hooker

I'm somewhat excited about this year's team. I'm somewhat excited about progress we can make. We didn't end on a good note, but we have all of our runners back and the top runners have trained hard to make progress.

John Gartland

In order to stand well in the eyes of the community, it is necessary to come up to a certain, somewhat indefinite, conventional standard of wealth.

Thorstein Veblen

I don't really follow college basketball much, but I've been lead in the direction to pick Auburn as my favorite. I think they would be somewhat of an underdog, and that's right up my alley so I'll go with the Tigers.

Mark Martin

Getting multi-digit growth in our two main franchises with the share and size we have is tough, but we will have great growth in our businesses that are somewhat smaller.

John Connors

The thing I've been hearing a lot of municipal officials say is that it's been good to save money on road salt and the manpower that goes with that. But that may be offset somewhat by the price of gas.

Andrea Johnson

You're never too old to play. You can have a youth ? fast (speed-wise) ? who appears to have the advantage over someone somewhat slower.

Matt Alsup

Market growth in 2006 will slow down somewhat. I expect that we will be able to continue to gain market share.

Daniel Vasella

He was somewhat surprised to learn that most of the convention space was also destroyed.

Frank Fahrenkopf

A lot of people didn't lift in high school. It gave me somewhat of an edge.

Marshawn Lynch

Somewhat afraid to do their jobs -- afraid to touch people and by the nature of our job we have to touch people. It's scary.

Tony Harris

The only thing you can do is look historically. The next year tends not to be as high. Every cycle is different. The tendency is that orders will be somewhat lower than this year.

Randy Baseler

Measures taken by the Federal Government in conjunction with the IEA should have a downward pressure on crude prices. Current supply and demand fundamentals are only somewhat bullish for gasoline and outright bearish for crude oil and distillates.

Antonio Szabo

I think the instruction is Rome's answer to all the different pressures brought to bear on it, ... It's presented in a somewhat ambiguous fashion with in-house vocabulary that allows for a range of interpretation to be taken from it. A lot will depend on where the bishop falls on the issue beforehand.

James Bretzke

I think the Senate is somewhat in shambles. I don't think there are enough votes to pass an education plan that will pass the court's scrutiny.

Sen. Jean Schodorf

It's still somewhat of a coin toss. The odds lean against the possibility of this coming up the Houston Ship Channel.

Jim Ritterbusch

The market is basically quite quiet. There's some profit-taking after yesterday's surge but overall market sentiment has stabilized somewhat because recent U.S. data has been quite positive and that has allayed fears about an interest rate rise this month.

Herbert Lau

We had somewhat of a letdown in the second game. They're a good hitting team, and one of the best teams in the nation.

Tim Mackin

There were some high-profile customers that were attacked by the worm. That made the situation somewhat of a news event, and that gave us an opportunity to help educate computer users about security measures.

Debby Fry Wilson

Sixty per cent seems like a high threshold. But if it requires sixty per cent provincially, I'm not sure what the rationale is to say that if you can get it passing at sixty per cent of the districts with a threshold of fifty per cent plus one, there just doesn't seem to be a rationale that carries through. It may be somewhat confusing to the electorate.

Leonard Russell

Obviously the main focus right now is on establishing the venture in the auto sector, but eventually they'll be able to move beyond the sector. This name makes that somewhat easier than if we had 'auto' in the name.

David Barnas

It would have been a great quarter if we didn't have the guidance for Q2. Guidance for the next quarter was somewhat less than people hoped for. They were hoping the second quarter would be in line with the balance of the year.

Mona Eraiba

Both of the benefit reductions he proposed will improve the Social Security numbers somewhat, but they will leave a large imbalance in place.

Jagadeesh Gokhale

We were trying to replace some very talented kids. He was trying to replace the player of the year, which is never easy. Maybe our expectations were not what they should have been. I think he had a productive year, even though it was somewhat inconsistent to Mike Mitchell and Gavin Hoffman.

Al Bagnoli

What it tells me is that it's amazing what these guys have accomplished in all the other games. But it brings everyone down to earth. It's reality. If you don't shoot at least somewhat better, you don't have a chance.

Bo Ryan

I think it was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Betty Keller

We act somewhat as mentors, as counselors. The kids are important to us.

Jerry Hughes

The American public is somewhat ambivalent about what they expect out of thenational forest.

Ralph Regula

If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

The award is somewhat problematic for us because we are not greedy for money. For us, this has been a matter of following the contract.

Firefighter David Cummins

Because there's no through traffic, it lowers our visibility somewhat. We have had some prospective tenants ask how long the road was going to be like that. It is a fairly major access point to downtown.

Greg Wilson

It would be great to see that remain a music venue and some of that history and character be maintained so music lovers could always come there and it be somewhat of a museum for our history.

Wes Griffith

It's an issue that we see somewhat differently.

John Veroneau

This really is an exciting discovery. I'm still somewhat stunned they have such good data.

Alan Boss

Stability is somewhat returning as some of the uncertain factors are being cleared. Chances now look higher than before that quantitative easing will be abolished next week.

Hiroyuki Fukunaga

It was obvious from the first half that we needed some energy, somewhat of a spark, ... I challenged myself to get every rebound and work my way around my man.

Chuck Hayes

Cisco almost needs something really strong ? they're going to have to talk about visibility and they're going to have to do it somewhat with numbers.

Art Cashin

That's somewhat less a draw than it used to be because of the superb modern communications that we have. It is a factor, though, especially in projects that require a lot of interface with the government.

John Douglass

The government is trying to proceed with structural reforms. The rating agencies have already reacted somewhat.

Nicolas Schlotthauer

Getting hired under 18 is somewhat of a privilege.

Tim Maloney

It appears that the journalist at Reuters was somewhat confused in terms of separating speculation and fact, so he ended up publishing speculation as fact and largely ignoring the facts.

Georg Greve

It's somewhat disingenuous.

William Pickett

I will probably hear more in the next day or so. His last tests showed an improvement and he has increased his training somewhat.

Alan Thompson

Marriage functions best when both partners remain somewhat unmarried.

Claudia Cardinale

Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.

Alice Munro

It's somewhat frustrating. You don't want to lose (in the Final Four) all the time.

Kurt Greene

It really seems somewhat disingenuous to come to this board as a retort to the court's decision.

Don Brewer

We will definitely see another rate hike next month. The Bank of Canada is somewhat concerned about the economy growing at full capacity. If economic fundamentals continue to be good, the Canadian dollar will continue to appreciate.

Ted Gould

They picked something very politically charged, ... But it was somewhat disingenuous because the general plan has nothing to do with property tax.

Brandon Cox

That was somewhat surprising because ground-based observers had been trying for more than a decade to find new satellites around Pluto. But I felt almost certain even when I first saw them that they were real objects - not any sort of artifact - and that they were exhibiting orbital motion around Pluto.

Max Mutchler

Being an exhibitor, it's kind of neat. You go behind the scenes somewhat and see exactly what goes on. I'm definitely going to do it again -- it was a blast.

Daniel Tumbry

As long as I can concentrate and remain somewhat calm, I can normally do very well.

Al Oerter

It eases the pressure somewhat.

John Ernst

The correction somewhat mutes inflation concerns. The market is looking in one direction today and that's for slower growth.

Bill Davison

For several years, we have tracked the strong affinity of the gay-lesbian market for travel, particularly for popular destinations at home and overseas. With fewer children and somewhat higher discretionary income, lesbian and gay adults consistently index higher than their heterosexual counterparts.

Bob Witeck

They're always curious (about Ryan) because he really doesn't talk to the media that much and I'm kind of available to the media. It's somewhat of my business, but it doesn't really involve me really.

Brady Leaf

The ruling will open up the competition somewhat among [competitive local exchange carriers] ... But it won't lower the cost for the typical service provider.

Michael Erbschloe

The memory of the really bad downturn we had from 2002 to 2004 is strong. And there's always Medicaid. And a lot of states want to build up their rainy-day funds in case the economy goes soft again. So all of that is going to limit somewhat the momentum for new programs.

Scott Pattison

It really is turning out to be somewhat of a hardship.

Don Lindburg

[So far, the relief effort could be described as] somewhat organized chaos, ... Nobody wrote a book about how to do this, and I guess we are going to write it right now.

Gene Green

It is somewhat unusual for conference sessions to completely sell-out, but I believe the demand for IP training is so great, that it necessitated that we add another and that one sold out. We have a waiting list for future dates.

Beth Blake

His teammates did not rally around him. At all. They were frustrated, angry, and somewhat sympathetic because they knew what he was going through not only in his professional life but private life.

Ron Rothstein

While we're trying to figure out what to do, lots of dates get floated around. Until we actually caucus as a management team and figure out what our constraints are, we don't have a date except that right now, Bill and I think it's somewhat earlier than October. We'll let you know when we can.

Mike Griffin

They found ... essentially ... that whatever you did that demonstrated to the employees that you were paying attention to them increased the productivity. Which is somewhat commonsensical -- that if you have happy employees, then they'll be more productive than unhappy employees.

Paul Lasley

We've ultimately come to the conclusion with the help of Ennis Knupp, is that the factors that they used were incomplete and that the numbers were somewhat inflated.

Jeremy Jackson

The overall picture in September is one of negligible decline in manufacturing activity. Production registered significant growth, with nine industries reporting greater output. Deliveries of commodities were somewhat slower. However, commodities appear to be in ample supply as once again the short supply list is vacant.

Norbert J. Ore

This is a situation that is somewhat without parallel and its appropriate for people to keep in touch and I don't see any problem with that.

Finley Peter Dunne

Advertising markets have remained uncertain and short term in the first quarter ... and we are seeing somewhat lower revenues in the early months of 2006.

Andrew Flanagan

Sentiment is weak as shares continue to consolidate February gains. The trend will be somewhat like this in the near term.

Jackson Wong

I am somewhat concerned ... knowing that an Orange County SO (Sheriff's Office) official ... is financially benefiting from this.

Mark Zadra

Overall the security situation in Mazar remains somewhat unstable. As of this morning, we heard reports that along with occasional looting there is also 'punitive action' that is being carried out. We have also heard that fighting is continuing in and around the city.

Stephanie Bunker

It's somewhat of a setback. I doubt she'll have time to [do any negotiating] now that she's been promoted.

Carl Grenier

I think Jim Edmonds plays center field somewhat like how I played center field, and I like to watch him play it.

Duke Snider

He was at the height of his maturity. ... It's not just a depiction of him as an artist, it's more of a psychological portrayal of him -- his difficult and somewhat turbulent character, ... It's a very piercing, powerful image that clients are very much responding to.

Christopher Eykyn

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.

Dan Quayle

It is fair to say that the regulatory burden is going to be somewhat higher [than for mammalian cells], but I don't think there is an inherent issue relating to the expression system.

Tillman Gerngross

The vast majority of our agriculture employers are somewhat sympathetic, because they agree with the need for immigration reform.

Mike Gempler

She was found by the commission to be somewhat intemperate in her relationships with certain court employees.

Thomas Zlaket

I didn't think that a career in theater was very realistic so I thought the only thing I could make money doing and still be somewhat artistic was, god help me, advertising.

Liev Schreiber

It's when bad taste encourages somebody to commit a crime or creates somewhat of an atmosphere where public safety is at risk, that courts are more willing to get involved.

Dean Nelson

We continue to find Safeway's lifestyle-oriented repositioning strategy sound but somewhat limited. Although it will effectively appeal to the middle 60 percent to 70 percent of the market, it is less competitive at the opposite ends of the demographic spectrum.

John Heinbockel

I always tell the players to keep their neck muscles tight or firm them up so you don't strain their neck. The main point is that you always want to attack the ball and not let it attack you. You don't want the ball to hit you. You want to hit the ball. You have to be somewhat aggressive.

Johnny Ramos

It's somewhat difficult. The culture and language difficulties have been pretty much accounted for in that we have a Russian-speaking officer who has been able to break down those language barriers.

James Lewis

Once you have a good relationship with Aaron, he seems to want to work with you over and over again. And it is good because you go back into a situation knowing exactly what you are getting into. It makes it somewhat of a smooth ride.

Shannen Doherty

People believed we were somewhat eccentric.

Barry Marshall

The US Patent and Trademark Office has been somewhat embarrassed by how this thing transpired.

Kevin Burden

What's somewhat surprising is that you hear people talking about holding off on spending cuts.

Maya Macguineas

This seems to be a somewhat forgotten group, especially throughout the South.

Kathy Harrison

I'm definitely enjoying the time, just being a student, ... I feel like even throughout high school, our school has been somewhat sacrificed for gymnastics. ... It's nice to now actually be able to get back and do some of those things that we were planning to do earlier.

Paul Hamm

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.

Maria Montessori

He's somewhat complicated, a little bit of a freak, and that's the reason we have him. We have to get him here earlier, he takes a little more care, but it's just him. You have to listen to the horse, understand what he's telling you. Josephine Abercrombie was generous enough to let us stay at Pin Oak Farm.

Neil Morris

The risk of price declines has increased somewhat, but the national and local economies remain strong, which should support a gradual return to an economic climate characterized by slow, steady appreciation.

Mark Milner

I think our somewhat up and down form is due to the fact that several of our players need a rest. Because of our paper-thin squad and because finance restricts us from making loan signings, I have to go with what I've got, but at the tail-end of the season, I think that's costing us.

John Still

This whole thing is somewhat bittersweet.

George Shinn

It is somewhat theatrical. As the parts are fairly short we won't have many rehearsals so it is ideal for people who enjoy singing but don't want a weekly commitment.

Lori Schneider

Monetary policy has to be somewhat accommodative, since a tightening in credit will likely cause liquidity difficulties in businesses that are suffering from overcapacity.

Li Ruoyu

It was a somewhat weak rally in the euro anyway and it wasn't a move that was substantiated by the trade figures.

Jeff Gladstein

At the food court, she came up to me and told me how she felt that I somewhat reminded her of her fighter, Medrano. She said I was a good family man. And she really liked what she saw, me being around my family and how I was with my son. She also wished me the best in my career.

Rocky Juarez

They are somewhat pleased. We'll need to see continued weakness before they'll feel like housing is a reason to slow the tightening process. This is just one month's number.

Rick Klingman

Frank was somewhat frustrated with the perceived lack of instant reaction by the federal government. We're from Canada. You are our greatest neighbor. You are a neighbor in need. We happen to have assets. We can very easily look after 400 people.

Dennis Mills

Personally, being somewhat envious of Richard's songwriting and guitar playing, it's somewhat satisfying he's not yet achieved household-name status. It serves him right for being so good.

David Byrne

The markets have pushed the euro somewhat too low relative to fundamentals.

Michael Mussa

Yes, I did make the mistake of running away from a police officer because I had a warrant. Granted, I'm on this side of the glass too, which makes my credibility somewhat weak. I would agree with that and I could see that. But what the officers did that night, there's no call for that.

Neil Morris

A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.

Charles Horton Cooley

The service in Brighton over the years had become somewhat unreliable. The reality was there was not an ambulance service.

Dan Manz

Not having Karl Rove indicted at this time is somewhat beneficial. 'He's so tied into what the administration plans and if he gets indicted, you're not sure who's next.

Michael Kahn

Generally, gubernatorial races are somewhat insular from the national environment. If there is an environment where voters want change it's a state like Nevada, where Republicans have been in control the last couple of terms. They may look to the other party as a party of change.

Nathan Gonzales

I knew I had that little bit of a lead, and I knew neither one of us had riding time, so I just tried to stay in a position where he couldn't get any points off me. He wrestled somewhat differently than I was expecting, but I did the best I could and scored just enough to win.

Shane Webster

The business is somewhat more difficult and complex than many of the operators had originally thought would be the case.

Jeffrey Young

The community will be somewhat self-selecting. If you are a rabid gun collector or if your lifestyle is drinking and partying, this probably will not be the place for you.

George Patterson

Any deviation will affect us somewhat, ... But we don't think it would be significant enough to affect it tremendously.

Anthony Morris

Growth in real gross domestic product amounted to 4.5 percent in 2004, and preliminary anecdotal evidence suggests that this performance may have been exceeded somewhat in 2005.

Xolile Guma

The program has grown under Student Government progress, ... With transportation on campus, the transportation fee has allowed the program to be used somewhat.

Steve Sexton

It's somewhat disappointing. With some of the newer products that they have, they're working on larger transactions and larger transactions, by definition, take longer.

David Shore

I believe it is a relatively harsh punishment for such a young person. It was somewhat harder than I had hoped and believed.

Goran Bergendahl

It's very much following Hong Kong at the moment and I expect it to drop somewhat in the afternoon.

Cao Jianming

We're excited about this new move, but it will be somewhat nostalgic leaving behind a building where the FBI has been located since 1910.

Rene Salinas

I was somewhat concerned that we wouldn't race as well as we have been, because it's Michigan. But after we won that first relay, we started to believe that we could maybe win this meet.

Dan Ross

Right now, being in a shelter, or being in a hotel, is somewhat a bridge to nowhere.

Thad Allen

Joe was a consensus maker. I think the thing with Joe that I remember more than anything is he could walk into an environment that was somewhat tense and had the ability to deal with it. He also had the ability to take charge.

Ralph Page

Obviously we had been keen to negotiate a two-year contract for Jeff but when Collingwood came in with a four-year deal our hand was forced somewhat. We never wanted to lose Jeff to another club, but we certainly did not want to risk losing him for nothing.

Craig Cameron

We don't generally think that defensive plays are all that satisfying, because they tend to be somewhat short-lived, ... You get myopic when you decide you have to do something that's purely defensive in nature.

Steve Mills

Her face betokened all things dear and good, The light of somewhat yet to come was there Asleep, and waiting for the opening day, When childish thoughts, like flowers would drift away.

Jean Ingelow

A one month bump here or there really doesn't mean that much, ... These are hard numbers, and it's somewhat encouraging compared to what we're seeing from survey data.

Tim Rogers

We found that people who ate fish one or more times a week had 13 percent slower decline in thinking ability over time, ... People who rarely eat fish have a somewhat faster decline in their thinking ability over time.

Clare Morris

There's no unilateral belief about tech stocks. People are confused and somewhat justifiably.

Arnie Berman

It's somewhat frightening that what he took was so easily found out.

Tom Glavine

The comparative weakness of the mortgage market in the first half of last year means that current indicators of activity, i.e. gross lending and approvals, are much stronger than they were 12 months earlier when the housing market was somewhat subdued, but they are by no means yet approaching the levels of activity seen in 2004.

David Dooks

In a way, we feel somewhat complete in the sense that we did go through the things we thought were reasonable. Obviously at this point none of that panned out, but we gave it a good shot.

Richard Cook

I am somewhat biased, but I believe Cincinnati delivers the core of what outdoors people want, which is variety, diversity, quantity and, above all, quality. The Cincinnati Convention Center is going through an expansion, most of which is complete. What was on multiple floors, is now on one huge floor.

Chip Hart

It's somewhat historic, ... This golf course has been here a long time and it's hard to see it turn into something else.

David Knowles

It was a real up-tempo game in the first half. Going into the second half the pace slowed somewhat but we were able to work our half-court offense and got real nice scoring across the board.

I don't think anyone would be interested in us saying that two friends can't give each other a gift. It would be somewhat harsh to dictate what two friends could give each other.

On and off. Some if it has been good. Some has been somewhat less than good.

John Sicher

It's been somewhat of a tumultuous season despite being 21-1 at this point. That's everyday life at New London and we know how to deal with that and move on.

Craig Parker

[The DH role] gets undervalued, and it's somewhat justified, ... You can be a leader, but you're not making any great plays to save your team a run. You almost have to overcompensate for that missing link, and I think David Ortiz has done it.

Paul Molitor

There is this feeling that it's somewhat of an open season on Muslims. If you replace Islam and drop in any other religion and said, 'Blank is a terrorist religion,' it would never be tolerated.
