Chuck Canterbury

We appreciate that dental benefits are probably not on the minds of these folks right now, but we still want them to know that we won't be conducting business as usual and won't cancel coverage for those groups unable to pay premiums or update their eligibility.

Kari Lehtonen

It?s the same old problem, we refuse to be patient and disciplined on offense. A lot of it was due to their pressure, it?s just non-stop.

Christine Lagarde

CEMETERY, n. An isolated suburban spot where mourners match lies, poets write at a target and stone-cutters spell for a wager.

Mark Kurlansky

They had gotten complaints from subcontractors and vendors who were not getting paid in a timely manner.

Joe Agnello

It was those requirements for our customers that we were unable to agree on.

When he came across this lady, she was unable to speak and she was sitting in the snow just looking at him. He called to her, and she was just barely able to move her lips.

Sgt. Blair Edl

We are unable to set a target at this point. UK Sport's ultimate goal … is to finish fourth in the 2012 Olympic medal table, finishing as top European nation, and retain our second place in the Paralympics, whilst aiming for the top spot.

Liz Nicholl

The Protestant community is essentially quite conservative and the unionist leadership seems to have been unable to explain changes to them.

Peter Shirlow

Even with surpluses, there remains a hard core of people who are unable to grow anything themselves, because they have no land or the household has been devastated by AIDS.

Mike Sackett

Our own epoch is determining, day by day, its own style. Our eyes, unhappily, are unable yet to discern it.

Le Corbusier

The juggernaut -- the best and biggest military force in the world -- lumbers on, doing what it knows how to do best. It is unwilling to rethink its future, unable to let go of the past. Like the shark, it must keep feeding, only now it is feeding on itself.

William Greider

What we found out with Katrina is that the country is still unable to deal with disaster, ... God forbid this happens in San Francisco.

Warren Rudman

RESIDENT, adj. Unable to leave.

Ambrose Bierce

It's just mind boggling. All manufacturers have been aware that this is an ongoing problem that they have to watch for, so why they are unable to anticipate this type of problem is incomprehensible from an engineering standpoint.

Jonathan Spira

When we asked them to show us a law to show it is unlawful, and they were unable to do so, we said they're legal as far as we're concerned.

Hani Durzy

It is a rare occasion when nurses are unable to use the lift team to help during critical periods. The communication and collaboration between nursing and the transportation department is high-level. When we need immediate assistance, they are a step away.

Pat O'malley

We have not yet seen any supply disruptions, but it remains a key risk, ... That risk will only increase as we get closer to a date where Delphi, if unable to achieve a contract with a UAW, needs to impose a contract.

Mark Oline

Ultimately, our defense let us down the entire week, and we were unable to generate a lot of offense or come up with clutch hits.

Jeff Kane

I am learning that if I just go on accepting the framework for life that others have given me, if I fail to make my own choices, the reason for my life will be missing. I will be unable to recognize that which I have the power to change.

Liv Ullmann

We understand that the archdiocese has been unable to say whether he has been saying Mass at any churches since his retirement. We don't know if anyone was put in harm's way since he retired, and we have no way of notifying people if we don't know where he's been.

Christy Miller

I was very happy with our early progress today, we were able to move up from 17th place into fifth and I was making a move to pass two cars ahead of me. Something happened where they collided and I was unable to avoid their collision. The damage to our nose cone was too extensive to continue. It's a real shame as I was very confident we could succeed today.

Scott Speed

It was pressure from the media, that got us on the base. That's the one area we were unable to search.

Mark Fierro

Each of these states is on a collision course that could result in chaos at the polls in November as millions of eligible voters find they are unable to cast their ballot.

The February CBI survey reinforces our belief that consumer spending will be unable to sustain the relatively strong performance seen in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Howard Archer

Two passersby, a bicyclist and a motorist tried to get the man out of the car, but he was very combative, and they were unable to get him out of the car before it caught on fire.

Tela Mange

I moved well in the first set but then I found that I was unable to attack as we went into the second set, ... She kept me back (on the baseline) and that's not my style. I couldn't get the same rhythm back.

Ai Sugiyama

Conflicted by her conscience but still unable to escape.

Karla Homolka

We have to learn how to win, how to put teams away, and tonight we let them hang around and we were unable to turn the tide once they got it going.

Brian Lee

Some of them are on the brink of unable to cope any longer.

Don Smithburg

We were unable to take an alternate route. We deeply regret the inconvenience to our passengers and the delay.
