Dr. Jeffrey Berger

One of the things I wanted to try to do is keep the training regimen as in the past. I don't think they've lost any strokes or steps since last year.

Breakthrough for patients who are at high risk from heart attacks, strokes or premature death because it is the first time an oral (diabetes) agent has been shown to have this benefit in a prospective study.

John Dormandy

We stuck in all the symptoms that diabetics get, ranging from serious things like death to less serious things like ballooning of the arteries in the legs. While it didn't meet the goal at the combination endpoint, it did on the one that really matters to patients: death, heart attacks and strokes.

John Dormandy

Last year he had a really strong first serve -- if it went in. This year he is much more consistent with it. His backhand is also very strong this year as well, his ground strokes ... he's just a much more consistent player. I just see him getting better and improve every time I see him play.

Jeff Schulte

You can't always see strokes and blindness or kidney, nerve and heart disease, ... But it's there. Research shows that frequent glucose testing reduces your chances of suffering from any of those complications.

Charles Ray

She still hasn't played her best golf. I know she can shoot in (the) 30s. If she's more consistent on the green, she can shave five strokes off her score. She's the best iron player that we have. But she's still struggling with her putting stroke.

Andy Hallett

We've not been able to place these brush strokes into the context of a wider canvas.

Steve Lee

The heart attacks, the strokes, they will come no matter what's going on.

The traditional risk factors for stroke are increasing age, being male - men have more strokes than women - cigarette smoking is a very strong one and blood pressure is probably the strongest consistent factor.

Paul Mitchell

I am hoping we can get close to that this year and hopefully play a little bit smarter. And be able to play within our own game. Some of the them don't have the best strokes, but be able to play a game that they can win even though they don't have the fanciest strokes and foot work.

Doug Dexheimer

Taken together with previous work, these results support the idea that reducing exposure to particulate matter may reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Gregory Wellenius

Julian is the songwriter of the band. He may want to go in different directions, but still sounding like The Strokes. I don't think you're going to hear a concept album.

Ryan Gentles

It really hadn't hit him yet how sick his dad was. He's had a number of strokes and he always ended up going home.

David Gonzales

The players still are trying to improve in all areas of their games. Everyone is capable of lowering their scores by as many as six or eight strokes a round. Hopefully, they can all do that at the same time and, maybe then, we can start challenging the top teams we face throughout the season.

Kevin Moen

Matt shed off a few strokes, and it's an improvement from John Ryan's 110 (Thursday). Overall, I was happy.

Cassie Desmone

The Strokes are probably having a beer surrounded by supermodels.

Steve Jocz

I charged toward them, skiing as fast as I could, yelling at the top of my lungs. Every two or three pole strokes, I'd just yell.

Robert Newberry

We knew Schacht couldn't out-punch Davis because he had better strokes and a bigger and better forehand.

Shawn Flanary

David and Benjamin played their best rounds of the year. We should get a few strokes from the top three players (today).

If you pay real attention you can see where the strokes begin, you see a little point, and then the stroke lifts as he takes the hand off the paper.

Carmen Bambach

As far as the team goes, other than Riley, we left some strokes out on the course today. We'll get back after it, starting in Pierre on Monday.

Brad Andera

Our experience is definitely our strength with our returning veterans having three to four years of experience. They all do a good job of playing an all-around game. Something we have to focus on, though, is our short game. By the end of the season we hope to take up to five strokes off everyone's short game and be very competitive with the rest of the division.

Teresa Benson

As a team, most of our guys shot around their averages for the season. Ryan Robley did shoot a couple of strokes below with his best back-to-back nines of the season.

Jim Valentik

I guess the thing to do is to be two strokes down.

Jeff Allen

Both the region and state tournaments are at Trinity. They're beating us by 10 strokes, but if our guys play well, maybe we can clip them.

William North

This is not a normal Vioxx case, which is about heart attacks and strokes being increased by the use of the drug, ... We plan on making it about the specifics of causation. ... This is a good case for us.

Kent Jarrell

That was exhausting. The last two strokes I knew we had won it, it was close all the way. This race has been the main focus of the regatta for me. This is the one I wanted.

Joseph Sullivan

Jon and Tim both admittedly didn't have their best game. Jon said he kept grinding all the way to the end. We say when you don't have your stuff you grind it out. Tim said he was four or five strokes over early and just kept grinding.

Dennis Erlich

She had always called me, after those strokes. Those strokes were all documented. Then she had a major stroke just a few days after she signed, and she has never been home since.

Roger Zastrow

This isn't 'Joe Hack' playing on the Hooters Tour. The difference between those guys and the PGA Tour is only about a couple strokes.

We have a younger group of girls in that event. Jenna is the only senior and we have two juniors and a sophomore. Each is strong with specialty strokes. This is one of the stronger relay teams than we've had in the past.

Helen Dixon

We've had four tournaments this year, and, if we just have a couple breaks go our way, we'd be qualified for state already. We've been four or five strokes out every time, and that's not much when you have five golfers.

Charles Carter

What we have to do is try to pick up as many strokes as possible tomorrow. I believe we'll able to shoot very low if our combination works nicely.

Ai Miyazato

In women, aspirin prevents strokes and doesn't have any real effect on heart attack, and in men aspirin prevents heart attacks but has no effect on the prevention of strokes. So there appears to be a gender-based difference in the beneficial effect of aspirin.

Dr. David Brown

I think everyone was shocked on how lopsided it was. We had players that were having to give a lot of strokes to players on their home course and still were able to win a lot of those matches.

Hopefully the results from this match will motivate our guys to work much harder. I was extremely pleased with Joey Russell's score today. He improved 12 strokes from his last match which I know will give him greater confidence.

Matt Rodgers

This was five to 10 strokes better than our average matches. Our number three didn't have his best outing, but our four and five made up for it.

Travis Erickson

If you learn a sweep stroke in a whitewater kayak, that sweep stroke's going to do the same thing in a sea kayak.

The promise of stem cell research is that instead of prescribing medication and rehabilitation for people with heart attacks, strokes, spinal cord injuries and Alzheimer's disease, we will cure them.

Fred Jacobs

Each day, I felt like a left a few (strokes) out there. But today, I made the putts I needed to make, both the short ones and the ones that really made this round complete.

Jay Haas

(They) showed the usual first match jitters. But I am very pleased with the way the girls played. Today we showed we have plenty of room for improvement. We had plenty of three and four putts that we can get down to two putts and that save us a lot of strokes.

Jack Belk

I would have felt terrible if we had lost by a couple strokes. We responded today like we needed to. This is a great momentum boost for us going into the conference championship.

Nick Becker

I don't want my dad to tell me how to set the price. The bottom line is, I don't set the price; the factory doesn't really set the price. Who really sets the price? The guy on the street who strokes the check.

John Sinclair

I've done over 150 different things since "Different Strokes," but that role will always be prevalent in people's minds because I haven't done anything to overshadow it yet.

Gary Coleman

The decision to put him on a blood thinner is a little questionable. I don't know the details of this case, but the use of blood thinners to prevent ischemic strokes [those caused by clots] has been challenged by several studies. It is a curious decision.

Dr. Stephan A. Mayer

Batting for Vivian Richards is a matter of strokes, more strokes, and even more strokes.

John Arlott

We have to keep a positive attitude. This is not golf, I don't get eight strokes a side and we level the playing field. There is a disparity in terms of talent.

Rick Magnante

There are hundreds of thousands of Americans who are going to have heart attacks, strokes, amputations and dialysis because we are not paying good enough attention to their diabetes. This has got tremendous potential to prevent an enormous amount of misery, pain and premature death.

Benjamin Littenberg

She's really a boost for us. Whatever we need her to do she does. Her technique work is great in all four strokes.

Tracy Myers

I thought the girls played outstanding today. I believe that most, if not all, shot a career best. We shot nearly 40 strokes better than we did Thursday night.

Jeremy Burk

This was another top-five finish for us and we had two golfers finish in the top 10. On these two-round events, it is going to come down to just a couple of strokes and we were within five strokes of the lead today.

Dr. Melvyn Rubenfire

Brian has a complete game. He serves extremely well. His ground strokes are excellent, volleys are superb.

Vicki Browning

Toyota is the Tiger Woods of flexibility and efficiency; they've got everybody a few strokes behind. Often, it's nothing that makes you sit back and go 'wow.' They're little things, thousands of little things that add up to a huge advantage.

Ron Harbour

I have been in bands before and so has Julian (Barrett, his other comedy half) and I wanted to make comedy for people like The Strokes.

Noel Fielding

Anne takes three years, ... with all these terrific brush strokes, to bring you back to what appears to be the source of that pain, the source of that conflict. It appears to be this broken family and the prodigal son, these things he can't really embrace because they're not his. And that appears to be what the source of all this is.

David Caruso

I group champagnes with very broad strokes, they are either light, medium or full.

Michael Green

We were really able to do some intense training. Plus, some of our kids got a chance to learn some different strokes.

Leeann Pepe

You can lower the scores right away if you can at least two-putt every green, not three-putt. Cut back a few strokes right off the bat. We had a couple of three-putts out there, otherwise we would have gotten second.

Jack Dean

I'm so excited and ecstatic that we won our first match. Our first two rounds kind of set the tone. We were 20 strokes ahead when Kendra and Heather came in.

Jack Dean

We rode a solid race, but we still have a lot of improvements to make. One is to build upon strokes and pick up a lot more speed - move the boat faster during the middle of the race.

Steve Wagner

Strokes are never good. But children tend to heal more rapidly than adults would because their immune, nervous and circulatory systems are more responsive.

William Elkington

Her strokes were so deep that I had to return them from well outside the court, making it hard for me to play my own game.

Aiko Nakamura

She definitely hits the ball a lot harder than me, or even than most guys on the men's circuit. She has got unbelievable ground strokes, she is a fighter and not afraid to go for her shots.

Mats Wilander

He's very interested in doing this right and doing it well. Greg is very focused and works very hard to get his strokes right. He's always asking for coaching and doing things on his own to learn and get faster.

Tim Howard

We faced Rosary on Aug. 16 at Marion Central and they took third and we took fifth, but they beat us by almost 30 strokes, ... To only lose by three, we are catching up and getting better slowly.

Gary Richardson

It's basically different strokes for different folks. It's what they need, how big they want it, how much they want to spend. It crosses the board. So that's why there's so many vendors out on the market right now.

Manny T. Lopez

After 20 strokes when they were just a seat up on us, I knew we were going to win. We didn't do anything special; we just executed the plan.

Dan O'shaughnessy

I dropped two unnecessary strokes on the short Par-4 fourth and another on the long Par-4 sixth after I blocked my driver into the short rough.

James Kamte

Today they kind of turned that performance around a little bit, ... That's a good sign of things to come, hopefully. That's really what we have to do if we're going to compete against some of the better A schools this year. We talked about not leaving strokes out on the course.

Ben Heller

She's improved tremendously. Her ground strokes are the best on the team.

Jason Degroff

Leadership comes in small acts as well as bold strokes.

Carly Fiorina

I feel pretty good about our position faring with other schools. Every time we tee up, I like to think that we get better. As we go into tomorrow we look to shave some strokes here and there. Four scores in the 70s would be great.

Pina Gentile

Stay away - this is not a stable, well-adjusted person! When there's no consistency whatsoever and the slant of the strokes veers severely in all directions, probably so does their mind...

Andrea Mcnichol

My ground strokes are my strength. I rely on them to produce some winners and some errors by the other player. I like coming into the net since I'm taller. But I have to work on my volleys.

Kyle Maclelland

Different strokes, for different folks.

Sly Stone

His strokes are looking great right now. His work ethic is phenomenal in practice.

Vicki Kobel

The ones having strokes were going down a much steeper slope and hitting bottom much earlier.

David Snowdon

We can't do anything today to slow down the development of Alzheimer's lesions, ... we can do something about strokes.

David Snowdon

We're going to go work on our short game when we get back, and our approaches to the green. I think that's where we're losing strokes.

Chris Saunders

It was sweet. It had been a long time coming. We've been nibbling the last few years, but it seemed like something always happened that knocked us out by five or 10 strokes. I can't say enough for the way our girls battled and scrapped.

Darrel Hoffman

He is suffering from high blood pressure and he cannot walk properly. His situation is very bad. He is being given 13 pills a day for his blood pressure, diabetes and other illnesses to prevent strokes.

Badia Aref

The bottom line is that there's got to be different strokes for different folks. The point is to have enough variety so that you appeal to all different generations and all different kinds of people.

Michael Gallelli

We're looking to continue building our youth program and to have swim camps that draw different coaches to teach specialty strokes.

Shari Walling

We set some goals in the fall and for the first time in my coaching career, I had to ask the team to reset them because they've shattered the previous ones. We set out to improve our team stroke average and I think we did that by five strokes and we've been in the top five in nearly every event we've competed in with a shot to win each of them.

Kelley Hester

We had a bad start today, but once it got it back together we were fine. Every stroke is so important. In almost 600 strokes, it comes down to one.

Jim Ott

The strokes are the hardest.

Donna Thompson

Santa Rosa was a surprise. We beat them by 20 strokes in Stanford. I hope this it's not an omen of things to come.

Van Sweet

Everyone shot a few strokes higher then usual. It was their first time on this course. There is lots of sand and lots of water. Hopefully next time they will know what to expect and they will know what the hardest hole is and how to play it.

Eric Ligtenberg

Hopefully we can get her (Rhoads) more consistent with the irons and try to eliminate some of those strokes that kill a round.

Eric Ligtenberg

Stroke follow strokes, the sparkling ingot shines,/ Flows the red slag, the lengthening bar refines;/ Cold waves, immersed, the glowing mass congeal,/ And turn to adamant the hissing Steel.

Erasmus Darwin

There's no data to determine whether this is associated with a reduction in clinical events like heart attacks, strokes and deaths. We just don't know yet.

Elizabeth Nabel
