No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.

Hannah Arendt

A catalyst for a higher Australian dollar versus New Zealand's dollar could be relative monetary policy, ... We expect the Reserve Bank of Australia to lift rates toward the end of the year and early next, while we expect New Zealand's economy to slow sharply next year.

Ashley Davies

This time it was much more intense. Last year, the contestants were kind of 'us versus Gordon' right up until the end - this was brutally competitive right from the beginning.

Arthur Smith

[My love for the band] has changed so much over the years. It's been a factor for so long it's hard to address now versus then. But it hasn't lost its resonance.

Ira Kaplan

The book wrestles with the questions modern mothers face about the merits of professional work versus life spent with children. It paints a picture of the trials and tribulations of 21st century motherhood.

Maureen Corrigan

Until we have the best consensus around the deer population and habitat destruction, we will be forever locked in a battle of too few versus too many.

Michael Diberardinis

Self-sabotage is like a game of mental tug-of-war. It is the conscious mind versus the subconscious mind where the subconscious mind always eventually wins.

Bo Bennett

The real question in this case ... is who makes the threshold determination of using a civilian or military legal system. It's a classic case of executive and congressional power versus judicial power.

Michael Dorf

It's the one thing that differentiates us from every other faction of the industry. We're willing to go in and work together. You have the power of four or five acts versus the power of one. This year is just slammed with [country] traffic, so to go in as a group and sell tickets is a heck of a lot more persuasive than one at a time.

Brian O'connell

Electronics today is a series of struggles. It's satellite versus the iPod, satellite versus high-definition radio. That's why it's critical for satellite radio to get a foothold in the next three to five years. If it doesn't, some other technology will render it obsolete.

Russ Meyer

Business conditions continue to be robust. The company expressed high confidence in its third-quarter guidance of greater than $3 billion in bookings, $2.6 to $2.7 million in revenue and EPS of 64 to 68 cents. We believe guidance is conservative and estimate bookings of $3.3 billion with EPS of 70 cents, versus the Street consensus of 68 cents a share.

John Pitzer

More money exchanges hands with the resale of a domain name, versus the sale of a new name, ... You can buy new names for as low as $15. Resale prices are much higher than that, although they are coming down.

James Grady

'Swan Lake' is one of those grand, beautiful pieces. This is what you think of when you think of classical ballet. It's a fairy tale, really, with all the great themes of good versus evil, the search for true love, treachery and deceit, and how the power of magic may be great, but it's no match for the power of two lovers meant to be together!

Tyson Compton

We're still trying to come to an agreement on what was wind damage versus flood damage.

Joe Riley

If you look at the performance of money market funds versus ultra-shorts, ultra-shorts have really held up well. They've done what they were designed to do: They've preserved principal and provided more yield than the money market. And even though the gap has narrowed, they're still yielding more . . . and over time, that little bit can add up to a lot.

Scott Berry

We made a lot of mistakes when we went to their place. We had 29 turnovers and didn't shoot well from the paint. Now we're more familiar with our game versus their game and the good news is we get them at home.

Amber Daulbaugh

Last year wasn't such a good bout versus her so this year I was ready to make up for that.

Mariel Zagunis

I've bounced back and forth between what would be best for Robert, having a sibling and somebody to grow up with and have when we're gone or to help care for us in our later years versus our ability to be able to just get up and go.

Dawn Landau

Koizumi has been very cunning and sly by showing this drama as reform-minded forces versus old-fashioned forces.

Takao Toshikawa

We chose Kurt to drive the Miller Lite car because he thrives on competition and has an unrelenting will to win. Healthy, fun- spirited competition is the essence of sport and of business; and the Miller versus Bud battle is one great example of this. We both have a great tradition in the sport, and a little added public competition will be fun for everyone, especially the winner.

Tom Long

My intention is not to draw attention to something that's not a virus, ... We want people to know what's critical or crucial or something they need to be aware of, versus something that's ordinary.

Vincent Gullotto

For me, the Olympics was part of being something much bigger than snowboard. I had an awesome time ... I am a huge believer in the journey versus the destination.

Rosey Fletcher

Our customers are much more familiar with purchasing tea in tea bags versus loose-leaf teas.

Dan Donovan

The definitions related to open space are weak in that they do not distinguish between lands set aside for resource-conservation purposes versus lands set aside for recreational purposes; nor do the definitions recognize necessary distinctions between urban, suburban and rural lands.

Craig Richardson

We expect Electronic Arts to have a compelling holiday lineup versus its peers, which should be a catalyst.

Justin Post

We expect the first quarter to be a reasonably tough comparison versus last year.

Scott Davis

For a while the press and the market was preoccupied with this question about whether Linux was going to kill Windows and whether Linux fundamentally introduced a value proposition was going to pull users away from Microsoft. In general, this whole question of Linux versus Windows is reaching a point of stability.

Tony Iams

We can put the information into our space-planning program to make out what they have versus what they will need to purchase.

Greg Foster

The real question of government versus private enterprise is argued on too philosophical and abstract a basis. Theoretically, planning may be good. But nobody has ever figured out the cause of government stupidity and until they do (and find the cure) all ideal plans will fall into quicksand.

Richard Feynman

I think that kind of language about a culture war is itself harmful, and is stoking the flames. We need to understand the real issues underlying the debate ... There are serious issues here. To characterize this as good versus evil is living in a cartoon.

Jeremy Gunn

It's the CAA versus the Missouri Valley [Conference]. We're fighting to get two bids to the NCAA. That's our main goal to go out there and represent the CAA.

Jai Lewis

We are disappointed that sales have not materialized to the degree we had expected, but we point to the fact that the company is expected to show between 12 percent and 22 percent growth in revenue versus the same quarter last year and that we are serving customers exceptionally well this holiday season.

Toby Lenk

If you look at the role of the market today versus where it was only a few years ago, that's an enormous change, and I think it's likely to continue.

John Chubb

The miss appears to be weakness in the trading portion of the Investment Bank unit, a frequent culprit due to its excessive volatility versus peers.

Guy Moszkowski

I just think it's an ounce of prevention. It's not that much money and it would be peace of mind for people. Three hundred dollars versus everything that you own. Who wants to risk that?

Michele Adams

The flight pattern is all over pine trees, versus schools, homes, churches and shopping centers.

John Peyton

It's not as frustrating as it is disheartening. To lose your starting point guard the day before and rally to play like that versus as tough a team as Hillsborough, it's disheartening in a positive way.

Sandy Whelan

This league is so tight. We were able to move up [in the standings] last week because we were successful versus Ohio State. We are probably gone fall back this weekend because we weren't successful.

Scott Paluch

The 2006 year opened on a strong note, with solid growth of 33 percent in online non-travel sales versus the same period in 2005. It's clear based on what we're seeing so far in 2006 that the strength in online sales will not wane anytime soon.

Gian Fulgoni

You tend to have less hearing loss listening to something you like versus something that's just scrutiny.

Joseph Smaldino

That's a one-in-the-hand versus two-in-the-bush.

Don Boegel

These results for the third quarter, traditionally our best, are the strongest results reported by any North American carrier for the period and reflect our ability to now achieve North American industry leading levels of profitability versus low cost carriers as well as legacy carriers.

Robert Milton

Politics isn't about left versus right; it's about top versus bottom.

Jim Hightower

At certain banks, the senior executives really understand how important the online experience is overall for driving business. But you see differences in senior executives whose priority is on Web site service levels versus customer experience.

Lance Jones

We hear from all these people that the rise in oil is just rampant speculation, that it's all going to correct. But I don't think that's the case. Worldwide demand versus supply suggests that prices are going to keep rising.

Paul Levine

AMD is still a small company versus Intel but the fact that they are growing is testimony to the improvement of their product lines.

Richard Whittington

The gift is really the programming and the content Sirius delivers versus just going out and buying a gadget.

Jim Collins

The president seems to do what is politically expedient, versus what is morally correct. Therefore, if we make it politically expedient for him to do the moral thing, that's what he'll do.

Troy Newman

Clearly, Greenbrier shares have had a great run year-to-date, up 39% versus the rail equipment group. We believe the best is yet to come.

Peter Nesvold

He has been involved in profound questions — questions of religion, of life and death, of art versus life, of the ability of art to propose questions about life or even be relevant.

Mark Rosenthal

While they won't admit it, the primary driver of lower procurement costs will be by lowering prices out there, increasing competition through versus auctions.

Chris Mecray

That's different for us and guys have to adjust to it, playing an afternoon game. I'm not sure who is going to be available for a 4 p.m. game versus being available for an 8:30 p.m. game.

Mel Vollman

I really wanted to keep it more as a festival versus an academic conference, more interactive and creative.

Peggy Jones

It's like listening to a CD versus a tape, or watching a DVD versus a VHS. The future is digital.

Alex Horwitz

The law has always balanced the sanctity of life versus the dignity of the person, but right now we're not protecting the dignity of the person and we're only paying lip service to the sanctity of life.

Sanjeev Anand

I know all the arguments about road cycling versus track cycling, which is restricted to fewer nations.

Craig Reedie

Last quarter there was $1.5 billion in Linux server sales as an industry, with Linux server revenue growing eight times that of the overall server market at 42 percent, versus five percent growth for the total sever market. That growth was also more than four times that of Microsoft's Windows Server, which gained 10 percent.

Scott Handy

It went very well. It was very exciting to be cast. I have been watching the show for so long that it was exciting to see it for real versus watching it on TV.

Leslie Brockman

There's always college and pro scouts in the building. Last year there were a lot more NHL guys here because they were on strike. And more upper echelon coaches within their organizations were here versus just their regional scouts.

Gary Weckwerth

He's been a big influence on all of us as far as sports are concerned. We all grew up around sports. My dad would take us to the park and me and my sisters would play versus my brothers and my dad.

Bridget Brennan

People make a lot of noise about the open community model and shared code, but that is based on the assumption that developers care about [the project] and that there is something in it for them versus what they are already doing today.

Stephen Elliot

I wanted evening to be strong even with an absence of color. There are separates, tight pants with clingy tops, skirt suits, skirts with vests. There's even a small play of matte versus shine for evening.

Yukio Kobayashi

Furthermore, eBay -- which has held up relatively well versus other leading Internet companies -- has little valuation support.

Holly Becker

Risk versus reward once again worked in Goldman's favor.

Susan Roth

The dispute is about the extent that [Sony BMG and Warner] have not licensed their music for [Apple's] Japanese services, which is significant, considering Japan is the second biggest market after the U.S.. It's a question of existing contracts versus future contracts.

Mike Goodman

Film is really a kind of theater of thought. You're watching people think in movies, which is the fascinating and completely unique experience of film versus other kinds of theater, where the thoughts have to be expressed in words. In film, of course you have words, but mostly you have thought and attitude, and that attitude is mostly expressed in the eyes of the characters.

Walter Murch

Where I think we're headed is a system of universal care, where everybody is covered ... with two tracks for delivery, and two tracks for payment. It's not a question of private versus public, but what mix of the two is appropriate.

Preston Manning

Think about the relative merit of variable rates versus fixed-rate credit. Locking in a fixed rate now gives you a great deal of comfort. Even though the lowest rate might be a variable rate, those could start to climb again next year.

Fritz Elmendorf

Most companies fail to realize the high cost and amount of disruption switching to a new wireless e-mail solution would entail. Companies must weigh the risks in staying put, versus the substantial costs in making a move to another wireless middleware platform.

Jack Gold

All operating and financial ratios by which we measure profitability and momentum improved versus the year-ago quarter.

Reuben Mark

Two stable outlooks versus one (negative by Moody's) confirms bullish outlook for the country.

Marcelo Ayes

As SSA picks up more and more distressed companies, it will quickly become SSA versus Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP.

Josh Greenbaum

Last year's game versus Plymouth was my best game. It was the first time I scored five touchdowns in one game.

Joe King

This is like Canada versus U.S.A. in North America. This feels good (to get to the final), but we can only enjoy it for a day and then we have to get back to work. We've got one more step to take.

Aki Berg

The number of great museums and nonprofits versus the number of corporate headquarters is incredibly out of whack.

Richard Stengel

Boys always remember camping in an atmosphere like this, versus if it were perfect weather. It teaches them to be better prepared and help them think about a rain coat, their feet or bringing that extra pair of socks.

Chris Godwin

Buying the dollar versus yen is a pretty attractive yield play. It's the same mantra from last year: interest-rate differentials rule.

Tim O'sullivan

This is an unsettled area of the law. The public policy issues are religious freedom versus the right not to be discriminated against.

Nathan Barankin

(It gives) a look at how many Starbucks there are versus how many local stores there are.

Xtine Hanson

It's always an issue at election time and an interesting one that balances rights versus aesthetics. The courts see campaign signs as being political speech and do not look favorably on restrictions.

Randy Hayes

When we were up 6-1, the game was not over. Not versus that club. Not by any means.

Sparky Lyle

When we go to the Statehouse, it's one or two of us against a whole slew of tobacco lobbyists and their partners. You can see that this is a classic David versus Goliath with us going against big tobacco.

Lisa Turner

The referendum will boil down to a fundamental debate on the future of this great state. The referendum campaign will be a choice between those who support the status quo versus those who believe in greater economic prosperity.

Bill Becker

Erika is another player who will add a great deal of explosiveness and speed to our team. She's versatile enough to play as an outside midfielder or forward for us. Erika is an attacking personality that always looks to penetrate defenses with the runs she makes. When the ball is at her feet, she's technical and creative enough to beat people one-versus-one.

Jaime Frias

It's like the kid doesn't want to take any medicine, but it's good for him, ... It's a little medicine now versus a lot of bad medicine later.

David Orr

Basically for the nine months, they're doing close to a billion dollars in sales. A very strong book-to-bill (ratio, which measures orders versus shipments). I think this stock offers a lot of appreciation potential over the next year.

Terence Gabriel

This is not about us versus the rest of the state. This is so we can talk about issues important to us.

Scott Richardson

There's two ways to trade: technical and fundamental. We prefer technical as it's based on how the buyers and sellers reactions are, versus the fundamental way, which is in reaction to news stories that we feel are too late for us to do something about.

Derek Ching

The majority of the 19 are in Mr. Pauley's computer tech classes versus the business classes.

Richard Meyer

Exodus blew away our revenue expectations. We are very pleased with these numbers, and we believe the market will breath a big sigh of relief with rapid 34 percent sequential growth, versus our estimate of 27 percent.

Harry Blount

The focus will actually be to show the different emphasis of each of these various viewpoints. Taking into consideration the television shows and production versus the movie studio process, and how different that is from one another. Each of the women has a different viewpoint.

Phyllis Decker

Obviously we beat them. And Fenwick is a very good team. We have been swimming hard teams lately. We swam Naperville Central last week and that is one versus two (ranked). So it has been pretty draining.

Ken Carlson

It's the old beta versus VHS dilemma. There's no way to know how long it's going to take for the general market to decide which formats will ultimately prevail. So while this shakes out, we're just going to listen to our customers and make sure we give them the movies they want in the format they prefer -- whatever the technology.

Shane Evangelist

What you are seeing now is the buying of individual companies in the Dow for value. It is less a question of tech versus financial stocks, and more a question of looking at specific companies.

Richard Babson

The defendant's version versus what we believe may be at odds, so I'm not going to discuss specifically how the child was killed. But we certainly have every indication that child's life was taken by this particular dad.

Ken Easterling

It depends on what kind of diet they are talking about. If it is just caloric restriction or whether it is specific dietary changes. Some women will actually lose weight during a pregnancy basically because they're eating healthier versus binge eating or eating all the wrong foods.

Peggy Neumann

I knew that the testing lab was a great place to gain efficiency based on my previous startup experience. With manual testing you can't reproduce problems as readily and the breadth of test-case coverage isn't as high. With more automation, you can focus your QA [quality assurance] team on making a difference, versus manual re-cabling to run nightly tests.

Brad Siims

The reason desktop search is so popular is that people can't find their stuff, ... If an IT manager has to choose between one search that works with applications, that has security permissions and rights wired in, versus rogue installations that users have installed themselves, they would probably go to one, organization-wide desktop search.

Sue Feldman

That's something that we would be able to handle, if it were to happen. Peak travel times to and from school versus to and from work are different, which is why it would be easier to absorb students into the system. They're not riding during the same peak times that regular commuters are.

Sue Christiansen

After 45, people are at a point in their lives where they know themselves, feel at home in their bodies, don't have to play games, don't feel intimidated and are not as inhibited ... versus in their 20s when they're still trying to figure it all out.

Laura Berman

Our local programming teams have done an extraordinary job creating great Spanish-language radio that has resulted in impressive audience growth, ... In San Jose alone, time spent listening for persons 12+ in Spring 2005 surged 205% versus Spring 2004. That's a clear indication that our stations are airing great programming that U.S. Hispanics have been looking for on the radio.

Alfredo Alonso

We really like the steady pace versus the bubbles that we have had in the past. We like moving from a state of irrational exuberance to a state of rational, healthy optimism.

Kate Mitchell

We're replacing 12 guys on the team. We made a few mistakes [versus Fairfax] and didn't get a whole lot of hits.

Doug Grove

We are slightly raising our prior guidance on earnings per share for 2000 to $3.14, which would represent a 67 percent increase, versus 1999's EPS on ongoing operations of $1.88.

Robert Growney

It's good to get back on track versus a tough team.

Chris Albright

This wasn't a no-logging-versus-lots-of-logging kind of battle. It was people asking them to take some new, smarter approaches to logging. We're saying, do it smarter. Don't go into these places that shouldn't be logged, like right next to a salmon stream.

Becky Kelley

You must remember to compare benefits versus costs. For the foreseeable future, the only affordable alternatives are coal, natural gas, oil or nuclear. Renewable sources - solar, wind, etc. - so favored by the left remain prohibitively expensive. A nation becomes weaker, not stronger, by artificially overspending on costly, inefficient alternatives to fossil fuels.

Larry Elder

Revenues in the third quarter of 2005 reflected lower prescription growth and increased competition in key therapeutic markets in the U.S., such as the lipid-lowering market, where the rate of growth in the third quarter declined significantly versus the first half of the year; and the erectile dysfunction market, which has been in decline compared to 2004.

Hank Mckinnell

A crime versus people is a crime versus God. It undercuts what it means to be a part of a caring world.

David Leslie

It's No.1 versus No.2 in somebody's poll. It's two good teams.

Bob Mackey

Our research shows that the Indian population tends to spend more and save less versus Chinese consumers who save up to 40 percent of their income.

Jay Mcintosh

It's not as simple or clear-cut as healthy versus unhealthy. However, [donated food] reflects what one finds in a grocery store ... attempting to change people's nutrition and eating habits is like pushing water uphill.

Bill Ewing

Sometimes getting into a $35,000 truck, a manufacturer might give you a payment, maybe $300 to lease it versus maybe $6-700 to own it.

Brian Grezenski

Hotels give off a regular cash flow. When you buy a room in a hotel you look at the price versus the projected amount of money that is going to be raised every month.

Cynthia Gray

You still have 100 hours of press time on any oil spill versus a tiny blurb or nothing at all if a company spends hundreds of millions on pollution control. Sometimes, they just throw up their hands. The best thing they can do is keep the debate focused on educating the public.

Lyle Brinker

The big impact is this is really the only hybrid system that makes sense economically. We can make a hybrid system that is more effective than electric hybrids for a few hundred dollars versus several thousand dollars.

Sal Scuderi

My Country Versus Me.

Wen Ho Lee

What you've got here, essentially, is a very high-powered marketing operation--meaning Microsoft--versus Linux.

Greg Hill

I'm always toast when I'm lined up versus 5.

Frostee Rucker

Those were key things. Most of the head-to-heads (versus D-S) at the tape, we won. The 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,500 and 3,000 - that belonged to us.

Bill Hosack

In the 1970s, you couldn't do a television show from Las Vegas because you couldn't find a sponsor. In my view, Las Vegas has become the place to perform versus any other place in the world.

Wayne Newton

It saves the state money. The cost of processing a paper return is $1.62, versus 10 cents to process an electronic return.

Jill Midkiff

In some cases, the change will allow dads to bring all their daughters to one dance versus attending multiple dances for different age groups. That's still a possibility with this schedule, but it should (offer) an added convenience for many families.

Marcy Jones

The kids played hard and haven't quit. If we play the way we did in the first half, we can compete with anybody. Their second five showed no drop off from their first five, and they wore us down. There's not much you can do with the numbers they have versus the numbers we have.

Billy Mack Steed

[Microsoft has] built loyalty at the end-user level, including upper management, ... That works for a while in the early stages of a product, but after a couple of years the blush fades from the rose. It's reality versus marketing.

Mike Foster

It's been a little less as the years go on but it's still a pride thing. Private school versus the public school in the same town.

Lance Davids

I think it's a really tired cliche and argument to use the environment versus the economy.

Amy Kober

Sprint is very inexpensive versus the WorldCom takeover. It's over a 25 percent discount. First, (there is) the $76 that WorldCom will be acquiring it for. And we think it's a very strong likelihood that merger will go through by the end of the year.

Tim Horan

If these debates were shown on Arab TV it would make a difference. A lot of students said after the debate that the arguments helped them see beyond the issue of the Arab world versus the West. They saw that it is not a question of us versus them but us versus us.

Mona Eltahawy

Of the two main challenges for the Fed, a slight slip in activity versus a pick-up in inflation, we think insuring long- term price stability is the more pressing issue.

Jason Evans

Every year, it's fill-in-the-blank versus teacher salaries.

Tom Long

I just tried to play it like a regular game and play my game. Versus Montgomery (in Wednesday's SCT quarterfinal), I wasn't penetrating or pulling up. I was more timid. This game, I wanted to go after them.

Jess Foran

This is not a racial issue and should not be presented as such. The principle is legal versus illegal status.

Rep. Becky Hutchins

Although they are at different skill levels, working with a traumatized and bereaved population was new for all of them, ... And despite the fact that many had no formal training, the degree of caring and thoughtfulness these volunteers have is amazing. And most of all, their hearts are broken for the community, for what was versus what is.

Lisa Aronson

Lance has been used in corporate advertising relative to the BMS brand, not in product advertising. We believe there is a significant difference in advertising that focuses on corporate brand building, or disease awareness, versus individual product advertising.

Tony Plohoros

It's become the little guy versus Starbucks. But Starbucks just happens to be the company. We believe the landlord is violating the lease.

Brandon Wright

You have to gauge the risk to the inmate versus the risk to the inmate and officers when they go in to restrain him. This appears to be appropriate.

Scott Dover

It is no longer the issue of whether one should focus on China, or India versus China, but of India and China.

Azim H. Premji

The game versus Hamilton will be nice for Calgary to get some positive momentum.

Greg Frers

Our users spend more than twice the amount of time with us than any other financial site on the Web, so I think that clearly when you look at Yahoo Finance versus our competitors, there's breadth and there's depth.

Peggy White

It's an accumulation of things. In Iraq, it's the reality versus the perception and the whole debate of whether we're in the last throes of the insurgency or in for a dozen more years. The momentum has been building toward the media regaining its sea legs.

Matthew Felling

That would be a $174 versus a $153 bill. That's a savings of about $21, and every little bit helps this time of year.

Angie Townsend

I think they're seeing it. I think people are seeing the enormous cost of housing versus what people make.

Connie Pascale

She takes the pressure off. One, she?s so big and so long. It?s just so easy to find her. It?s easy for me now because I?m going one-on-one instead versus what I did against two or three people at Cincinnati.

Debbie Merrill

It's Microsoft versus mankind, with Microsoft having only a slight lead.

Larry Ellison

Offensively, we're doing some good things. We just need more repetition versus defenses. We just haven't got the experience yet. The kids are working as hard as they possibly can, but there is no substitute for game experience. We've got to get that, and that will start Friday night.

Bob Warren

The dollar has strengthened notably versus the euro in the past week, which will undoubtedly help provide a well-needed boost to European profits.

Martin Brooker

It would be a big thrill to play against him, ... It is my country versus his country, and I know how proud Roy is to play for Ireland.

Mikael Silvestre

The academy has been dealing with the issue of scientific openness versus national security since 9/11.

Bill Kearney

Let's just look forward and not backwards — and see how we can get it done now, versus why we haven't been able to see eye to eye thus far.

Todd France

It is worth it even if only the financial balance sheet for society is considered: a few years of investment versus a subsequent lifetime of productive activity. Perhaps a cycle prevented with children's lives changed. Health problems averted. Addiction and crime avoided as ways to cope with hopelessness.

Tom Walker

Canada would benefit from a fresh dose of competition. Although tariffs on goods are declining, the list of non-tariff barriers is daunting. The primary impact of these barriers is to raise costs, which reduces the competitiveness of Canadian firms. This is not a federal versus provincial issue ? all governments are responsible for maintaining barriers.

Paul Darby

I think he would appreciate someone on his team who isn't afraid to give a hard foul in the playoffs. It's different when someone's your teammate versus someone who's your opponent.

Jason Collins

To have a chance versus these guys, you have to play mistake-free football. We have to limit our mental mistakes, limit our penalties, win the turnover battle, that kind of thing.

Sam Hollenbach

On this budget, we have the starkest choice we've had in a long time -- tax cuts for the wealthiest versus food stamps and Medicaid.

Jim Wallis

Online travel sales fared even better this year. The sector was up 35 percent versus 2002 and has more than more than doubled since 2001. Non-travel sales recovered impressively from war-related softness early in the year, with 2003 posting a healthy 22 percent total increase over 2002.

Dan Hess

If you really study the track record of technology transfer and commercialization, as much value, or more, in a region is accrued from the companies and projects you attract to the area versus the actual direct transfer of things that originate there.

David Chen

We've got guys picking each other up when we make mistakes instead of getting down on each other. In year's past, you had too many situations of offense versus defense.

David Castillo

We spent a lot of time thinking India versus China and we're more comfortable with the Indian regulatory environment. India has a lot of positives on that score, and a long tradition of Democracy.

Prakash Melwani

If you're giving someone you really think is good 3.1 percent versus 2.9 percent, 'Oh, yippee!' When you've got a 3 percent [ceiling], you can't differentiate. It's absurd.

Sandra Sipari

We don't want to let people score. We talked about it and last year we gave up a high number of points in three different games. That's just not all 11 guys believing in the system. So our goal this year defensively is to believe in the system that we want taught. We want to win football games by playing defense versus offense.

Jim Hill

For a full-year basis we're looking at sales basically being flat this year versus where they were last year. But we're still staying at a fairly high rate.

David Garrity

I'm going to talk about overt versus covert. We won those battles.

John Jordan

The survey will give us a precise, in-depth picture of the tourists we attract and hope to attract. We'll learn about their preferences, attitudes and interests; the reasons they choose to go one place versus another.

Laurie Paolicelli

A lot of people in political talk radio are still on that left-versus-right formula because it's been working. You can be sure that if it continues to show a decline in ratings, they'll alter the course.

Michael Harrison

The challenge, which it's aggressively taken on with the Target2010 project, is to shape its explosive growth by generating quality jobs and opportunities for its citizens versus quantity.

Angelos Angelou

I'm not real familiar with the golf course, but I'm sure it's going to be challenging. The difference between the teams that are playing well versus the teams that are struggling is ultimately more times than not the short game.

Mike Fleck

It was a quick decision we had to make. We knew that we had to be out there, and it was much easier to deal with the accident being on the road with our friends versus being at home by ourselves. It was a much more productive grieving process.

Jack O'shea

I am very intellectual about things so music is mostly a response to life and my ideas and the way things are versus the way things potentially or should be.

Chase Westfall

The reason desktop search is so popular is that people can't find their stuff, ... That being the case, if an IT manager has to choose between one search that works with applications, that has security permissions and rights wired in, versus rogue installations that users have installed themselves, they would probably go to one, organization-wide desktop search.

Sue Feldman

The big challenge with produce versus tobacco has been the marketing.

John Hendricks

It could be enough, but of course having an administrative ruling, versus having something in law just makes it a little more clear. It just kind of strengthens it.

Amy Miller

Contract manufacturers have seen their inventory grow 104 percent year-to-date, versus revenue growth of 52 percent, while distributors have seen a 24 percent increase in inventory in the past six months, versus a revenue increase of 15 percent.

Daniel Niles

He's such a wonderful witness to his peers and showed just how he was able to persevere under extreme conditions at the time. He viewed the adversity more as a challenge versus an obstacle. He was so courageous.

Linda Patterson

Barring a major catastrophe, there will be no rolling outages (Thursday or Thursday night). The change in the weather has helped us tremendously. The situation with the rolling outages came about because of demand versus supply.

Debbie Derek

Tech companies in general are going to have a multiplier effect versus the GDP. So as long as the GDP stays relatively strong, tech earnings should be a multiplier of that. If we see the GDP slow down markedly, then we could have a real problem in technology. But we don't see that yet.

Larry Seibert

The Japanese economy seems to be stagnating versus rapid growth in China, but its growth is ready to take off. Japan is coming out of deflation.

Hidenao Nakagawa

No matter what we do, we are always going to have Us versus Them moments. We can separate, yell or talk to each other and draw a truce. You won't agree with everybody. It doesn't mean the other person is an idiot.

Jimmy Bise Jr.

This week I treated it like Sunnyside versus (the state) of Arizona. That is the way we have to look at it.

Bobby Deberry

A theme that has always interested me is the difference between how thing appear and how they are. Image versus reality, etc.

Curtis Hanson

The GDP growth differential probably widened to a full two percentage points last year, while final domestic demand expanded nearly four points faster on average than on the continent. While this gap might narrow somewhat in 2006, we think that the country will continue to outperform by a wide margin; our current GDP forecast for this year stands at 3.3% versus 2.1% for the euro area.

Javier Rodriguez

When you're looking at ethanol versus gasoline, the two of them burn differently in an engine.

George Oerther

She's very athletic. The girls that already have developed the hitting motor skills are a lot easier to work with versus someone who hasn't already played sports. Once they have the motor skills developed -- throwing, hitting and hand-eye coordination -- it makes it easier to work with girls and boys like that.

Dan Mccarthy

This sale represents the continuation of our Company's strategy to dispose of assets located outside of core markets and provides the opportunity to recycle capital into acquisitions and development in our higher growth markets. We have sold $27 million in properties year to date versus our stated annual goal of $100 million.

Randall M. Griffin

It's a pretty low period right now. We had two fantastic games versus Buffalo and Toronto, and to come down tonight with that type of performance is unexplainable.

Jean Paul Marat

I think its just a case of all of the lifestyle amenities that continue to be built in that area, the very positive perception of the Peters School district and the significantly lower taxes in Washington County versus Allegheny County.

Jeff Burd

We're relying on that report to tell us exactly where are we transporting students that are walking two miles or more away from home to get to school, versus other students who walk more than two miles that don't get transportation.

Wanda Halbert

Dell shares deserve a premium versus peers and the market due to above-market EPS growth.

Richard Gardner

Everyone in the room is looking at the show, versus a football game, where two thirds are kind of watching and a third are only pretending they're interested.

Burke Stinson

U.S. retailers have not proven that they understand the difference of doing business in Europe versus the U.S..

Brian Postol

So many guys on this team have never been through the America East, they don't know the history of Maine versus Vermont. When you have so many new guys, it takes some time for all that to sink in.

Ted Woodward

That capability from IBM really came about because they were able to build an architecture that had a much lower processor requirement with very extreme levels of performance. That gave them a tremendous price-to-performance advantage in that market versus their traditional competitors, HP and Sun.

Brad Day

I think the best thing they could have done is give a simple 'sorry, we made a huge mistake.' Versus trying to make up a bunch of excuses about why they did it.

Dean Walker

I'd like to know how that diet fluctuates in an urban versus a wild setting.

Bruce Rinker

I felt comfortable going into those last five or six holes that par was going to be a good score. They had to come to me versus the idea that I had to make another birdie.

Morris Hatalsky

Everything was out to divide us: urban versus rural, black versus white, liberal versus conservative.

Rhonda Anderson

If you pick a fresh bell pepper, for example, and look at the nutrient content right away versus put it on a shelf for two weeks and then look at the nutrient content, it's dropped a lot in various aspects.

Skip Richter

I think if the convention is perceived as successful, and you see the expected bounce in the polls for Bush (versus Democratic nominee, Sen. John Kerry), that might reassure investors and prove a short-term positive for stocks.

Ben Halliburton

We shifted more funds to the communities in which we operate, versus solely in Pittsburgh, or New York, for that matter.

Kevin Lowery

I'm kind of glad we got them. For us it's a good chance to go up versus a quality program before states. It's definitely a winnable game, but we are going to keep building for states.
