This dramatic confirmation of standing water in Mars' history builds on a progression of discoveries about that most earthlike of alien planets. This result gives us impetus to expand our ambitious program of exploring Mars to learn whether microbes have ever lived there and, ultimately, whether we can.

Ed Weiler

Intelligent design is ultimately a science stopper.

Eugenie Scott

IBM has decided that being a company committed to open standards, open document formats and free software means ultimately reassessing the patent process and its role in your relationship to your customers.

Eben Moglen

It is very much a legitimate debate, and ultimately, it's the local residents that are going to decide this. But let's have this debate settled in a way that makes all local residents proud.

Etzion Neuer

Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world.

Etty Hillesum

Ultimately, it's a human rights issue in the information age.

Evan Hendricks

The best news in this year's report is the significant decline in cigarette smoking, not just because that ultimately is the most deadly drug but also because it confirms that drug abuse is best reduced through sensible public health measures rather than criminal penalties, prosecutions and prisons.

Ethan Nadelmann

Ultimately, the bill may rest on a shaky premise, as Clean Air Act permitting provisions seem to have only a marginal effect on decisions by oil companies to invest in new refining capacity, ... Industry and government analysts alike agree that profit margins are the most significant factor, and record profits from high gasoline prices have encouraged a major investment in added refining capacity.

Eric Schaeffer

Ultimately this is about enabling mainstream adoption of user experience within both business and end-user applications, resulting in richer differentiated experiences on the web and the smart client that promote business opportunity and productivity.

Eric Rudder

The book is a compelling, sobering and ultimately optimistic look at the state of America's news and newsroom diversity.

Eric Newton

Because dark energy makes up about 70 percent of the content of the universe, it dominates over the matter content. That means dark energy will govern expansion and, ultimately, determine the fate of the universe.

Eric Linder

Ultimately, customers want their business problems solved and the on-demand model provides another option to help accomplish that important and necessary feat.

Erin Traudt

We're looking for any type of information that may lead us to ultimately solving this case and let the healing begin in these communities.

Eric Kehn

Companies in the electronics supply chain ultimately need real-time content that is integrated with a robust Product Data Management (PDM) system.

Eric Karofsky

I looked at him like he had three eyes. Ultimately though, if you look at the program now, he was right on target. If TCU had stayed, I don't think TCU would ever have had the success we had.

Eric Hyman

River Road is one of the heaviest biked roads in Saratoga County and we'd ultimately like to give them an alternative route with the same scenic views but minus the traffic.

Eric Hamilton

Somebody needs to be ultimately responsible for the hiring and firing of the staff. It would not be appropriate, in my view anyway, to have an employee, a Senate employee, who's not ultimately held accountable by an elected official.

Erik Arneson

Yes, there are times when something is legitimately not our fault. Blaming others, however, keeps us in a stuck state and is ultimately rough on our own self-esteem.

Eric Allenbaugh

(Penalty killing has) been one of our positive, bright points, certainly. And ultimately whoever is in net is your best penalty-killer.

Enrico Blasi

[What Space X ultimately contributes to space travel might please the government in other ways.] One of the significant innovations of Falcon V is that because it's got five engines on the main stage, it can actually lose an engine and reach orbit safely, ... If the space shuttle were to lose one of its solid rocket boosters the people on the shuttle would be doomed.

Elon Musk

It was ultimately fatigue that best predicted which women would develop postpartum depression.

Elizabeth Corwin

Hopefully, he can figure out where he is mentally. Ultimately, he's going to have to make some career choices. How many records does he plan on doing? Will this be the last tour?

Elliott Wilson

There is still a great deal of untouched equity in homes. Employment, as well as real income, are expected to continue to increase. While 2005 may ultimately be the peak in the cycle, it appears 2006 is likely to be a good year as well.

Elliott Pollack

We think we have made a reasonable decision though we cannot be sure it will ultimately be proven to be the best one.

Elliot Schrage

In an imperfect world, we had to make an imperfect choice. I'm not ashamed of it, and I'm not proud of it... We have begun a path that we believe will ultimately benefit our users in China.

Elliot Schrage

It's always a good idea to be aware of your personal and physical surroundings, but it's also a good idea to be aware of who you're hanging out with, who you're dating, who your children are friends with, because ultimately we're finding that's the population you should be worried about in terms of statistics in Vermont.

Elle Petcavage

Ultimately, if we kept trying to fly the mission, we would use up all our propellant. And personally, I like the impact idea. I like the definitive conclusion.

Eilene Theilig

For Tribune, on a long-term basis, it's terrific. While in the short term there's a lot of dilution, ultimately this will be a monster success.

Edward Atorino

Surcharges aren't only unfair to the consumers who pay them. They'll ultimately lead to bigger banks and fewer choices, which means higher fees for everyone.

Edmund Mierzwinski

If the trends continue, I think it is likely that game platforms will become a more attractive target for attack in the future. Looking far enough ahead, game platforms might ultimately become an even more attractive target than general purpose PCs.

Ed Moyle

The county executive believes this legislative agenda will address the multi-tiered level of fraud that is very much at the root of the high tax problem. What he is trying to do is to make one business official accountable for a district's money and to treat budgets as if it were their own. The only remedy now is for communities to vote down a school budget, and that ultimately hurts the children.

Ed Dumas
