From my drive to my acceleration phase, it felt like someone pinched my right leg. Two steps later, it felt like someone punched me. Then I buckled. After I felt myself buckle, I took one wide step to get to the middle of the lane.

Jon Drummond

Baseball in Italy is at a turning point. It can either take a big step forward and become really professional, or it can take two steps back.

Riccardo Fraccari

The failure of the EU to make a meaningful offer on agricultural market access is deeply disappointing. Those EU member states who talk up their contribution to development are now blocking the most significant steps the global community could take in years to create new opportunities for the world's poorest countries.

Mark Vaile

The auditors have refused to specify what steps must be taken if the EU accounts are to be given a clean bill of health. It's like telling an athlete to run a race without announcing the distance.

Chris Davies

She knows that that's her role. I think she's accepted it. I think she's accepted whatever role we've put her in. She's just a kid that goes hard every time she steps on the floor. Finishing her free throws is part of that.

Kris Kalivas

What we are expecting from Pakistan is concrete, serious, substantive steps to deal with cross-border terrorism, and the question of terrorists who operate from Pakistan soil.

Nirupama Rao

It's different people at different time for us. Everybody steps up for us. It truly was a team effort all weekend.

Brenda Pena

If there's one knock on the horse, and how can you knock a horse that's been as great as he has today, he's not the quickest in the first four or five steps off the gate and that's so critical at Delaware.

Dave Palone

We are yet to receive the High Court order and will take necessary steps after that.

Tv Ramachandran

It's not surprising to learn that a landowner would take those steps. There are all kinds of issues that landowners need to be aware of -- liability, for one; health and safety.

Kekoa Paulsen

It was critical to change the culture of this facility, and active steps were taken in August to significantly improve conditions.

Bernard Warner

We are taking steps to ensure that healthcare providers and patients are aware of the possible long-term risks of these products so that they will be used appropriately.

Dr. Steven Galson

Some evidence has emerged that inflation is starting to pick up, and there's concern that the Fed's rate increases may not have been enough so far to keep that inflation contained, ... It suggests that we may see more aggressive rate hikes rather than the gradual baby steps we've seen.

Doug Porter

A tall officer was able to grab his ankles. He was about one or two steps from getting away.

Alan Wright

I had just climbed the steps of the station when the blasts took place. The entire place shook and soon there was flesh and blood lying everywhere. It was a terrible scene. Five-six bodies were lying nearby and several others were injured.

Ram Prasad

If he accelerated his sales dramatically from here, then perhaps it would be quite a red flag. As for now, I would interpret this as a natural event for a strong leader when he steps down from a company.

Jonathan Moreland

Not only has the U.S. failed to take meaningful steps to clean up mercury power plant emissions at home, but they have consistently blocked international discussions that could have already led to global agreements on reducing mercury pollution.

Michael Bender

It sounds like the university is taking the steps to be proactive in assisting the students. But they [those affected] are going to need to monitor their credit reports for at least the next year.

Sheila Gordon

It's the new economic development. This freight train is just a few steps from our doorstep now. The oldest boomers (this week) will be turning 60. That's the tip of the iceberg. As more and more boomers get into their 60s, the market will just be exploding.

Dan Owens

The fixed-income franchise continued to show extremely strong results at a time when most other major sectors in the industry were experiencing persistent weakness, ... The steps taken during fiscal 2001 to reduce operating costs and increase margins have had a positive effect on the current period's earnings.

James Cayne

The Visalia Police Department is aware of these incidents and is taking steps to preclude anything further. We can't be everywhere all the time, but we are doing our best to take care of these children.

Sgt. Shawn Delaney

What was compelling for the jury was that we put a lot of evidence before them of memos by Wal-Mart from seven years ago that concluded they had been breaking the law. Instead of taking steps to solve the problem, Wal-Mart concealed it.

Jessica Grant

You watch the screen and follow the dance steps. It's funny to watch. Kids are sweating and out of breath, but having a good time. I see people doing this all the time at video arcades at the beach or in malls.

Robert Groves

By all indications, our image is good. Our image is one of progress and collaboration. That's not to say all the issues have been solved. But all the meeting planners need to know is are the issues being addressed. Cincinnati is making the right steps.

Julie Calvert

It's not just a method of educating operators but also of getting their input on the best way to do the work. Our next challenge is making cross-functional changes. It's easier to do lean in a self-contained plant or distribution-center, but truly dealing with supply chain is looking at all steps.

Scott Saunders

It's a good example of a system working at all levels. In this case, the important thing was we were able to take the public health steps to protect the community first.

Jeffrey Koplan

I had so much confidence in Kevin, and he is such a competitor once he steps on that field. If he'd had 190 pitches, he wouldn't have come out of the game because he was determined to get it. He held them at bay for a long time.

Jerry Tischler

It's obvious what kind of difference he can make. Even if he doesn't swing the bat, he steps in the batter's box and the pitcher's got to have 'What if?' in the back of his mind. ... You've got to respect the fact he's Barry Bonds even though he hasn't seen a pitch all year.

Brett Tomko

And he's really still not there yet. He's just going to get better and better every time he steps on the ice.

Rob Proffitt

The spurts that we show are great, but we keep taking a few steps back. But when we're playing good we should be unbeatable. We have the best goaltender in the league and when everyone's going, it's going to show up in the win column.

Ryan Gibbons

We're trying to pinpoint all the steps that occur between oxygen deprivation and gene expression, and to identify the signals and molecules that regulate Pax3.

Mary R. Loeken

Our need to focus on these accounting matters is disappointing as the condition of our underlying business continues to improve. However, we are committed to taking the important steps necessary to ensure the accuracy of our financial reporting, and will update investors as to the expected timing at a later date.

Richard Haddrill

One thing is when she steps out on the field whether it's practice or a game she'll put her best effort out. Sometimes I see girls become seniors and because they've been playing their whole life they get a little burned out. Liz still has that enthusiasm to play, has a good attitude and kept everything in perspective.

Tim Lawrence

After we signed the lease agreement, they brought a road map of all the further steps that needed to be done.

Jason Craft

The state has already allocated money to the districts for transportation costs, ... I hope the state steps up to help us, or this will be money that will come out of the classroom.

Walter Miller

I expect ministers and governors will discuss steps taken to address supply and efficiency issues, as well as technical measures such as the improvement of data availability.

Timothy Adams

One should not have to diet, but rather take small steps to lose weight gradually and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Breine Stevens

Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject.

Thomas Mann

They have a receipt showing that on Dec. 11 they called a plumber and had their lines cleared. But because there wasn't a clearing line under Trowbridge's home the plumber couldn't clear his pipes. They have taken steps above and beyond to help this problem.

Teresa Hayes

However addressing the problems of the police requires more than just lip service. It is essential that his words are followed by concrete steps to end police abuses.

Peter Takirambudde

A discharged employee leaves unhappy. Many people who are discharged, first thing they do is open the Yellow Pages and call a lawyer, looking for someone to sue. [As a business owner] all you can do is take steps to protect your exposure.

Alan Kaufman

We were right with them the entire meet. With 44 as a winning score, it was a really close, and even individual races often came down to the last couple of steps.

Joe Cantillon

Bobby set his goals early and this was one of the steps to reach his goal. Winning the region was just a step along the way.

Jerry Maietta

This is the eighth year I've been involved in the Rube Goldberg contest, and the competition is played at a much higher level than when I began. The machines are better designed and use many more steps. I am just amazed at how the quality of the machines has increased.

Shawn Jordan

I don't care about the money. It's two steps closer to winning. I have to win. It's just so hard to get on tour now. If there's any week I have a chance, it's this week.

Ronnie Russell

This bombing ... is another indication that the Palestinian Authority must take proper steps against terror, and without these steps, there will be no progress between both sides.

David Baker

I've heard people in support, strongly in support, and I've heard people that say if we go back into special session, they're going to be down on the Capitol steps telling us to get out of there!

Joe Atkins

Take the necessary steps to look into this matter when appropriate.

Franco Frattini

As any bidder, Smith & Johnson was required to secure services of a bonding company in the role of an insurance company. If for whatever reason the contractor is unable to perform, the bonding company steps in and takes over responsibility for the work.

Joe Agnello

We play as a team and someone always steps up. Tonight it was just my time, my chance, to be there for the team and do that.

Lisa Busch

The Bank of Japan has independence in deciding policy steps. We want the bank to take responsibility for the results of the policies it implements.

Hidenao Nakagawa

We have already taken major steps toward these goals by slashing our debt by more than $600 million in the fourth quarter. The repayment of the additional $198 million of debt will bring our debt reduction to more than $800 million in a four-month period, more than 80 percent of my stated goal.

Lawrence Weinbach

The grand jury report was certainly very painful. It's important to point out, however, that long before the report was issued, the archdiocese had taken steps to strengthen all of our children and youth protection programs, and our assistance for victims.

Donna Farrell

We're in a very deep hole on job market, ... We've had a couple of steps in the right direction, but we have a lot farther to dig ourselves out.

Gene Sperling

Compaq is making incremental steps to improve its business line. But they really have several hurdles going forward.

David Bailey

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities.

Diana Ross

The question is whether we're ready to undertake responsibility for overcoming the crisis or will again sink in debates, mutual recriminations and half-steps.

Yevgeny Primakov

The company very much regrets this happened. It is committed to assisting those who have positive screen results. The company is taking steps to ensure this does not happen again.

Michael York

This is just a reminder that we want them [parents] to have dialogue with their children about the dangers of strangers, and describe some practical steps to avoid potential problems.

Cody Cunningham

Do you think this is in the back of the Republicans' minds now that it happened to Jim Wright, 'Oh oh, we better take steps to make sure that doesn't happen here,'.

Lesley Stahl

He is out to improve himself every time he steps on the mats whether it is practice or a match. He does it by his example. He's not really vocal, but he does everything right from the second he steps in the room (practice) and because of how he acts every time out there, he has earned everybody's respect and they all look at his example of how to get it done.

Ted Sierer

On that day, I felt like at any other school that same incident could have happened. Yes, it was a step back, but it was something that could have happened at any school at any time. It is something we have to work through and keep moving forward instead of taking even more steps back.

James Ward

That's what makes it a resolution. It's more likely to succeed if you go through all of these steps before you make the resolution.

Arden Mahlberg

The recent moves to eliminate the worst-performing 10 percent of brokers and rein in the training program are a good start to improving margins. But these are just the first steps.

Guy Moszkowski

I pulled the gun when I stood up, took two steps down the hallway and fired. His back was towards me.

David Ludwig

As a result, you did not have the time to fully communicate with the board on some issues. It is clear you have recognized this as a problem and have taken steps to deal with it.

Bruce Christianson

These people have some sense in their minds of the steps they're going to take in life. Somewhere, they're programming.

James Gottfurcht

We took the necessary steps to get the call right. It's satisfying to know the system works.

Craig Perry

I remember after he left walking up the steps and grabbing the door and my boss was coming behind me. I must have had a big smile because in my mind I wanted to say, 'You didn't tell me he was that good looking.' Of course, you have a male boss and you're not going to say that because you want to be professional.

Kathy Miles

I really believe my greatest service is in the many unwise steps I prevent.

William Lyon Mackenzie King

The point is to demonstrate what a day without us would be like. Without us buying clothes, without us purchasing gasoline, without us buying food. . . . We have taken many steps forward, now is not the time to take steps back.

Jim Delgado

We are making significant steps that will enhance our focus on meeting financial commitments and position us to meet marketplace demands for 2003 and beyond.

Len Lauer

If you put a piece of music on and give them a hint of what the character is, they can just take it and develop it from there for themselves. Steps are cheap. … It's the joy that's priceless.

Pierre Dulaine

That's huge. He's a leader and steps up and sets the tone. When's he's struggling, it puts added pressure on the rest of the team.

Matt Campbell

The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.

J. Robert Oppenheimer

If I get in the cart, the first few steps when I get out I feel like I'm a lot older than 90 ... If you ride a while you get to the point where you can't walk.

Bud Carden

In all steps along the way, what we're asking the customer to do is to call us. . . . We do this with all customers facing disconnection.

Dan Considine

We've planted all the trees in front of the school, the benches and the flowers. Any time something is needed, the South Norwood community steps up and does it.

Olga Abdallah

We are poised to grow onto the Rathdrum Prairie and need to analyze the necessary planning steps that will facilitate and manage this growth. The decisions made today will affect the citizens of tomorrow.

Collin Coles

To counter violent extremist ideologies, including steps to prevent the subversion of educational, cultural, and religious institutions by terrorists and their supporters.

The Jerusalem

Aggressively testing and is waiting for results. We're working very closely with our partners and we're taking the necessary steps to protect the health of the public, the integrity of our product and our good name.

Sarah Wright

Disasters -- flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, and so on -- have a schizophrenic political life, ... Before, or between, events you don't have people marching on city hall or state capitol steps saying, 'Save us from the hurricane, earthquake etc.'

Peter May

I just want to take baby steps. We have to start with the fundamentals.

Heather Rainey

A common understanding has been reached. Despite these encouraging steps, it is important to note that the commission will ultimately judge the cooperation of the Syrian authorities on the merits of the information provided and the promptness with which its requests are being accommodated.

Serge Brammertz

This action is consistent with similar steps American has taken during recent months to better align capacity with lower demand, ... This is a very difficult time in the airline business, and we see no near-term improvement. We will continue to evaluate further cuts in capacity and capital spending as conditions warrant.

Tom Horton

We're all clicking together great and everybody's really playing well together. We really believe that anybody who steps in front of us we?re going to beat.

Tyler Mcneece

The signs have a positive message and tell kids where to go for help. These steps will make a difference. We have some other things in the works to help the kids.

William Dempkowski

First we did our primary workout. Then we worked mainly on the mechanics of the exchange because we pretty much have our steps down. All this year we have been balancing relay work with the work needed for the individual events, so we are prepared.

Randy Bungard

I saw glass on the floor. I took a couple of steps, and that's when I saw the baseball bat. I saw some other stuff, but I wasn't sure what it was, so I just backed up and went in my car.

Jan Cook

Such steps as transportation to and from these programs by the school district would allow more students to participate.

James Macdonald

Had there been a criminal record, the door on him would have been shut from the get-go. If, in fact, someone stepped through the screening process undetected, we're grateful it came to light, and we'll take steps to eliminate something like this from happening again.

Walt Rulffes

These are all baby steps we're going through and they're all positive.

Matt Herges

We have steps in place before and after scanning to check this kind of thing. The machine will alert anytime that there's a mark that seems strange to the machine.

Patricia Olson

It looks overwhelming, but it's very simple if you know the steps and ask questions. Our members are more than happy to supply the answers.

Pam Manwaring

The great thing about us is it doesn't matter who you expect to step up. There's always someone else that steps up.

Dale Reed

We've played three road games, but we just haven't played nearly as well as we need to. We've taken some steps to improve, but we're far from happy.

Rob Sumner

If everyone says you are wrong, you're one step ahead. If everyone laughs at you, you're two steps ahead.

Charles Thompson

[The Alphas] have historically been pioneers, ... We've always broken new barriers and taken new steps.

Gregory Jackson

We have initiated an investigation because we feel there were some discrepancies that we have encountered, but right now we're in the initial steps of the investigation.

Joe Laud

And to demand that they respond with what steps they intend to take to remedy the situation.

David Sutton

What our experts tell us happened ... is that at some point Kathleen fell backward and hit her head. She lay bleeding, gets up, steps into the pool of blood, slips and hits her head again ... She bled out.

David Rudolf

I got to the door and heard crackling, smelled smoke and felt intense heat. I took two to three steps (inside) to meet Annie. I grabbed both of her hands firmly to get her out of the house. I was walking backward and she was walking forward.

Jim Sherman

We've got to take baby steps until we can walk. We've got to ... bring these kids home because this has to stop. This violence has to stop.

Gary Jackson

We're a team. Everyone takes open shots, everyone steps up and everyone works together. That's what makes us so good.

Dani Johnson

It's like they're retracing each others steps.

Dave Reed

[With one strike against him, Montgomery was forced to sit back at the next gun. He was half a stride behind Greene after three steps and never made up the difference.] I got out of my drive with my head down and then came up and saw Maurice, ... I tried not to pay attention to Maurice, but I saw him and I said, Wow, that guy's up there, and I proceeded to go back down into my drive.

Tim Montgomery

We've been solid at the plate all season and I have faith in everyone that steps up to the plate. We had 22 hits the first day of the Sweetwater tournament and I hope we have more performances like that this weekend.

Scotty Nichols

I want to see the openness of county government become institutionalized. If it is institutionalized, it is very difficult to take backwards steps. Open government extends beyond the concept of letting the public know what is going on. It will result in better decisions.

Mark Swanger

This is still in the early phases. There are many steps along the way where the company could decide not to go forward.

Keith Poston

First of all, obviously security and safety has been front and center on this campus in recent weeks. There are a number of steps that Vanderbilt has taken ... all of those are continuing.

Michael Schoenfeld

So far, we have 10 different players who have scored goals for us. And most of them have had multi-goal games. We took some positive steps in improving last weekend, and I'm happy that the players adjusted to the moves.

John Lawhon

There are a few steps that can and should be taken by all financial institutions to ensure that the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the other areas affected by Katrina are not further victimized and do not suffer further losses.

Hilary Shelton

I am a prince I have it all, and I hear your foot steps on the wall, I wait in silence for your call, and take a shot and watch you fall.

Trey Anastasio

We are taking small steps -- planters, new lighting and sidewalk repairs.

Mayor Ryan Bingham

With the development along that area, this projected was deemed to be a priority. Absent to that, Route 18 is becoming much more heavily traveled . This project will take steps to mitigate traffic along that corridor.

John Carlisle

One of our next steps is visiting with military and getting their specific comments on any one of our sites.

Steve Benson

They are in a hole, and you get down in the hole with them and ease them out of it. We help them take the first steps, like making phone calls to family and friends. But we are taught not to take over. We are there to help them get control.

Marcia Nelson

I remember at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Shaq always wanted me to show him steps over and over.

Hakeem Olajuwon

I think we all can identify with the journey of the main character (John) as he takes steps for deeper spirituality.

James Redfield

It's been awesome coming back for my senior year and being with all my friends. This is easily the best team I've ever been on. We've worked together amazingly and it's been a lot of fun. Even if some of us don't have our best game, someone else always steps up and gets it done.

Jake Worley

It was very, very difficult. They have an All-American candidate (Crystal Langhorne). And if she steps off the court, they have another big girl coming in and picking up the slack.

Jasmine Walker

One hundred less calories and 2,000 steps is very reasonable. It's not like going on a diet. It might be like cutting out pieces of bread or a roll.

Sandra Parker

They seem to have an intention and desire to solve the issue but when it comes down to practical steps they're not ready to act.

Viktor Kazantsev

Ontario and Catalonia have many shared interests, and this letter of intent paves the way for a mutually beneficial relationship between us. This is one of the steps we are taking to build a foundation that will allow Ontario to compete and win in the global innovation race.

Tony Wong

We've taken progressive steps over the years to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians at Hereford. This is just the next step in those measures.

Scott Randall

Commonsense steps we've tried to take, like increasing domestic oil production by allowing drilling in a small portion of ANWR, have been blocked by Democrats for years.

Trent Duffy

Edwin was an outstanding player for us and it will be a challenge to fill his goal-scoring shoes. We're excited by the challenge of who steps up. Maybe more of a collective challenge as well.

Ian Mcintyre

It's a very slow process - two steps forward, one step back - but I'm inching in the right direction.

Rob Reiner

Our defense should be very good and if our offense steps up and we are able to score runs we should be able to compete with everybody.

Bob Sperrazza

We're still planning and taking baby steps. We know that once we do this, people are really going to want it, and we want to be able to provide a good product for them.

Carlos Lopez

I think everyone took deliberate steps to try to do what was necessary to make the buildings as safe as possible.

David Collins

If you have an opportunity to take steps now to prevent a problem in the future, it's prudent to do so.

Julie Weis

I told Carmine that he has the toughest job because he's expected to win every time he steps on the mound. That's not the case with Tony.

Ron Fussell

These numbers look quite good. What sets them apart from the rest of the electronics makers is that President Nakamura has taken aggressive steps in turning the business around, and that effort is paying off now.

Koichiro Suzuki

This is the first of many steps toward facilitating trust. Every day is a campaign.

Ravi Singh

We feel like our teams making those steps to league play right now.

Joe Archuleta

We didn't agree that all the complaints were legally indecent, but some clearly crossed the line and for those we have taken full responsibility. No broadcaster has taken stronger steps to ensure its broadcasts comply with the law and we intend to keep it that way.

Andrew Levin

Every time the people of the country speak through their legislatures on the hot-button issues of the day...the army of lawyers of the Left line up at the courthouse steps to put a stop to the will of the people.

The Foundation

You really have an unfair, ironic and outrageous situation here, ... The one company that had the courage and took the steps of breaking with the entire industry ? is now in a position where it's going to be bankrupt if the settlement is enacted.

Marc Kasowitz

They all step up but Fagan?s tough on us. Beal has been terrific every time we played them. She is so good she?s going to do her thing. But when Fagan steps up, they?re a better team.

John Reiser

Can't go back exactly where we were because we have taken some irrevocable steps, but Proposition 80 is a good first step.

Joe Dunn

If they were able to target her, it would probably take even fewer steps to get information from random people.

Gregg Mastoras

She's one of the ones in practice who always steps up and makes free throws. She's clutch.

Marshall Ballard

The committee will determine what type of tourism market is most prominent in Lewisville, and then plan what steps to take and in what order to draw more tourism and make more people eat at our restaurants and shop at our businesses.

James Kunke

They've taken some positive steps forward and the vision is a good one. The question is how they deliver.

Jon Rubin

We?re taking small steps but we?re creating a strong base to build on.

Andrea Walker

I was more concentrating on making sure that I got my steps down, that my routes were looking all right. I wasn't worried about getting a ball. I just wanted to get back in the swing of things and get all the anxiety out.

Bubba Franks

If we find out students are not doing enough physical exams or not seeing enough patients - say students are not seeing enough women or patients over 65 years of age - we could take steps to alleviate that situation.

Art Frazzano

Purchasing flood insurance or renewing an existing policy is one of the first steps Mississippi residents can take to prepare for future storms.

Nick Russo

They [members of the Security Council] can start with small steps, reinforcing the call on Iran to suspend its enrichment, targeted political sanctions, or other measures that fall short of military options.

Mark Fitzpatrick

Profit was the motive, with sales goals as high as $20,000 a day. The dealers took aggressive steps to protect their lucrative enterprise.

Tom Corbett

This will probably never happen, but the worst case scenario if the facility doesn't get built is that the city would be violating Arkansas law and see monetary penalties up to $10,000 per day. Like I said that will probably never happen, though, because the steps are being taken to improve this bad situation. They just need to find a way to pay for it.

Dennis Benson

Remember if people talk behind your back, it only means you're two steps ahead!

Fannie Flagg

Danielle is experienced enough to where you can watch her progressing. Brad is getting used to the bulk he's carrying now and is starting to make adjustments. But you can count on 100 percent every time he steps on the track.

Chris Frary

It's heartening to see that Canadians, both smokers and non-smokers, are increasingly taking steps to protect others from tobacco smoke.

Cheryl Moyer

We are taking steps one at a time.

Jack Jones

I think our member schools clearly think we needed to take some steps to level the playing field and this is the measure that will accomplish that at this moment.

Marty Hickman

Apple is taking steps to move their brand to other rooms beyond just the Mac. It's no longer just sitting in the den.

Tim Bajarin

The process to create that type of animation is very tedious, ... We took all the steps and computerized it.

Paul Ford

We are building the database in iterative steps.

Joe Leadingham

We had mix-ups on who we were guarding sometimes, and we had players getting hit by screens. That's not us. We went into this game hoping to prepare for Penn State (on Sunday). Instead of taking two steps forward, we took a step back.

Pam Borton

Development of a comprehensive digital content strategy, with the objective of accelerating the production, distribution and marketing of digital content and applications domestically and internationally should be a key priority for New Zealand. The Digital Strategy is a great foundation, but urgency around next steps is critical.

Brian Thompson

These are good initial steps. I suspect there are more to come.

Linda Koop

That's when I knew we had our guy, ... Then Grady O'Malley steps into the picture, and it was about getting the indictment.

William Hoffman

This is where I scribbled on the walls when I was little. This is where I took my first steps. All that?s gone. I grew up, partly by choice, partly because of the Katrina storm.

Samantha Perez

When the U.S. Treasury steps forward and the IMF steps forward to replace the flight of capital, there will be no need for the Brazilians to raise interest rates.

Joe Battipaglia

We took two steps back (Tuesday). We just started out sluggish, and they tore us up.

David Cornwell

This report shows that some positive steps have been made toward lessening the time, money, and effort America's No. 1 job creators spend on regulatory compliance. But Congress, the regulatory community, and small business need to come together to do more.

Dan Danner

We're working to provide meals, to get medical attention for those who need it, help these people take the first steps they need to take.

Aaron Smith

You just cannot be afraid to network and approach people. You need to get your foot in the door. Everyone was inspiring today. Yes, sometimes you need to take two steps back to take four steps forward. The messages I heard were about not being complacent. Go after things, be resilient.

Tamra Cobbins

The government will be put in the dock in Parliament if it insists on voting for a referral to the Security Council. Left parties have formulated some opinion on this. We will convey it to the government. If government still goes ahead with it, we are free to take steps to bring the government to its knees.

Prakash Karat

Defensively, we're usually better than that. We opened the door for them and a good team steps right through, which they did.

Steve Heckman

Abercrombie is starting to take the first steps in implementing programs to come into compliance with the settlement.

Jack Lee

She's really been attacking the hurdles the last few meets. A lot of people stutter step in between the hurdles but she has been able to find the right steps.

Kristy Mcclain

If you happen to sign up for a drug plan that doesn't cover a drug you take ... you can ask to get an exception to get it covered. That starts with your doctor working with the prescription drug plan. And there are further appeals steps after that as well.

Mark Gilbert

Dana may have a friendly and bubbly personality, but when she steps on the track, she's a shark. She's a great competitor and a hard worker. She earns everything she gets.

Dave Mills

I feel like we've taken some steps each week, gotten a little better.

Sherdrick Bonner

The challenges we are facing are not difficult and it is possible to solve them. The basic disagreements have been solved and we've passed the steps that we used to think were almost impossible.

Alaa Makki

We at Freedom Financial Network sincerely believe in doing taking concrete steps to help people handle their personal finances. The basic information in the guide can help individuals reach their goals and become truly financial literate, improving their lives now and in the future.

Bradford G. Stroh

This is an area we feel very strongly about. Aluminum wiring in a house presents a very serious potential fire hazard. We feel that there are a significant number of homeowners who have aluminum wiring and who haven't yet taken steps to make their homes safe.

Scott Wolfson

It's like she walked up the steps and totally disappeared.

Keri Pompella
