The new synthetics, in a remarkably short time, displaced gunpowder from its 900-year-old niche as the world's only effective propellant, ... By the 1890s nations across Europe were rushing to switch to the improved powder.

Jack Kelly

People in the City are counting on us, telling us, 'This is the year for y'all.' That's OK. We think we have a great chance.

Dejuan Blair

He's much tougher [to gallop] this year. Before, he would go out there and just lope around but for the last two and a half, three weeks, every day has been a struggle to just keep him from wanting to roll.

John Servis

I have a great amount of respect for a guy who's still enthusiastic after 20, 30 or 40 years of what they do, ... When I saw Jerry at the Super Bowl in Jacksonville this year, I saw that here's a guy who, after so many years of doing this, is still involved in the game and in writing a story.

Peter King

We are all at work, all the services are prepared for signing the necessary agreements in the remaining eight hours before the end of the day and the year.

Sergei Kupriyanov

We've been in the Hawaiian Islands for a long time now and we're very committed there and we would put our network coverage against any of our competitors in the islands. Another thing to keep in mind is that we've actually won, year after year, with the Tribune-Herald, your reader's poll for best wireless service on the Big Island.

Georgia Taylor

I think we will start sometime early next year heading down toward 4 percent [yields].

William Meehan

If I start the rest of the year, I'll go out there and get six interceptions. My goal is to get 10 this year and I'll have to get them in 14 games now.

Ahmad Carroll

It was a great clinic for the first year.

Al Hammell

These are not hazards that kill thousands of children every year, like vehicle crashes or drowning, but they are so easy to prevent and the consequences can be so severe. Don't underestimate the possibility of a small child being crushed by unsteady furniture.

Anne Franchak

[The T-Mobile team has signed Andr Greipel to its roster for next season, on a one year basis. The 23 year-old sprinter, who hails from Jan Ullrich's hometown of Rostock, rode for Team Wiesenhof this year.] Andr is a young rider with massive potential, ... He has shown that already on a number of occasions this year. We are hoping that, with us, he can continue to develop and evolve as a sprinter.

Olaf Ludwig

They should speak to their sponsors and tell them that every fourth year they will be playing in South Africa at that time.

Gerald Majola

Last year was a good experience, but we want to go to the states again this year. Me and my teammates all trust each other. I trust them to get me past the line, and they trust me to do my job once I get past it.

Joe King

People think I look kinda weird. You'd think they'd never seen a 43-year-old Aspenite cycling to Louisiana with a trailer before.

Helen Roberts

Next year, 50 percent of car (models) in the world will have PowerPCs.

Michel Mayer

In the 1970's, there was an average of about 10 Category four and five hurricanes per year globally. Since 1990, the number of Category four and five hurricanes has almost doubled, averaging 18 per year globally.

Peter Webster

Perry has been good to us, but East Canton will be as tough if not the toughest team we've played this year. We're going to have to play good defense and go to our strengths.

Bill Tomsich

Although we have been able to meet or exceed our financial projections since Oracle launched their hostile tender offer more than a year ago, the extensive publicity of the antitrust trial during the last month of our quarter was impossible to completely overcome.

Craig Conway

The global cost of road accidents in developing and emerging nations is at least $100 billion a year. This is more than twice the total aid received from all bilateral and multilateral sources.

Dr Adnan Hyder

Whether we reach 1.7 percent this year does not really have much meaning.

Heizo Takenaka

We could possibly generate around $15 million this year alone in the state, ... Our goal is to reach $20 million by 2010 and I believe will reach that goal.

Jack Hawkins

We have a lot of good teams in front of us and these teams could make the playoffs. If we don't do well in those games, we could very well be watching the playoffs at the end of the year. We have a lot of work in front of us.

Dick Mynahan

We're happy with how it has gone. We wanted to do a couple of things this spring. We wanted to evaluate talent and get a good handle on who the guys are. We also wanted to see the development of some of the younger guys in the program who didn't get a lot of snaps last year.

Andy Coen

The end of 2003, we took a second in Huntington Beach (Calif.) and we were pretty consistent after that. We were in the top five, won twice this year; we've always been in the mix, and we've rarely done poorly.

Todd Rogers

They challenge us and we're getting to where we can beat them and that's where we want to be this time of year.

Patti Mccormack

Going into sectionals our whole team really has to pick it up. We have some tough competition this year. We have to have a lot of guys get into the finals and get points for our team.

Nick Twining

It seems like this entire season we were under this black cloud of injuries and illnesses. At the beginning of the season we had a lot of depth, and it took a lot of depth to get through this year. But in gymnastics injuries happen. It's just a matter of working through it.

Marci Skeen

I would probably say we served well over 4,000 families last year.

Andrea Park

Maybe we were lagging a little bit behind in the previous year and we had to adjust a little more than the three percent to catch up.

Chris Morlan

I want the team to be better, ... So it is kind of unfair to be selfish and not try and help my teammates out. I am very competitive, though, and I do want that backup job and I'm playing as hard as I can to get that. I'm not going to not talk to somebody, especially Tim who I've known now since our rookie year together. We came out the same year, so we met at the (scouting) combine.

Jesse Palmer

If they can hold Mardi Gras this year, it's going to be twice as good next year. It's a tradition that's survived for hundreds of years and it's going to keep surviving.

Papa Mali

I think we're rolling now. We haven't had our team together all year. The shots (Williams) blocked tonight were amazing.

Sean Marshall

Even I had my doubts about our team at the beginning of the year, but we showed what we can do, and surprised a lot of people.

Andrew Eakle

Last year, he was a playmaker at nickel for us. He steps up. He's had a great spring, and he's had a good camp. He's going to be a solid player for us.

Nik Moser

Last year, when they were both on varsity. We just wanted to take it pretty slow and to teach them the ropes as we went. They've really helped us succeed.

Mark Ross

I pulled out of the Franklin County search on the 10th of March. I said I wouldn't leave William Campbell unless it was the perfect fit. I didn't think it was a perfect job. I'm happy at William Campbell. I've have a great coaching staff, we got a new bermuda grass field. I'll be here for another year.

Brad Bradley

I think Nick is his own competition. If Nick decides to come to wrestle like earlier in the year, he?s going to be tough to beat.

Aaron Sarra

We help about 1,200 kids a year. And our biggest goal is to get a grant for dental work.

Dale Hoffa

We got beat by a better team. One that won conference last year and may be on the way to repeat.

Luis Sayavedra

Meredith was always real big on getting kids involved in art. It's a credit to her all the kids who have entered the art contest this year.

Jay Ervin

It's a great time of year for people to just be using common sense with everything from tossing cigarettes out of vehicles to just not doing any burns outside their house if they can avoid it.

Victor Hill

I definitely want to build my batting average. I also think I can start running more this year. I've always wanted to be put in that position and to hit and run more.

Tadahito Iguchi

It's as sure a bet that I'm going to be in Huntsville this time of the year as it is that the Tennessee football team will be auditioning for 'The Longest Yard,' '' joked Davis, whom QB Club member Steve Wilson described as .

Mel Allen

I think Jazz Fest will have a lot of support and a good year. We are still figuring out exactly what we are doing. But we plan to be active and have a good presence.

Jonathan Mayers

You don't like anybody to beat you too much. I don't have a long memory. And as an athlete, you can't have too long of a memory. You've got to move on. I can sure remember last year though, because we played two of our worst games against them. ... But it's good to bounce back and get a win tonight. It's good to beat a good club.

Gary Mcclure

We're delighted to be in this (the regional). We're really a year ahead of schedule, with seven sophomores on our team. If somebody back in December would have told me that we would be in the playoffs, I would have checked their forehead to see if they had a temperature.

Werner Christen

Congress rightly rejected this measure last year and must reject it again.

Caroline Fredrickson

There have been some parallels. Although, I think every year is different.

Amy Patton

The first half of the twentieth century was Boston's freak zenith. The city was home to 140 candy companies by 1950, with sales of $200 million per year. The beginning of the end for Boston came with the rise of the national candy conglomerates: Hershey's and Mars.

Steve Almond

It was excellent. After our loss last week, that's probably the most students I've ever seen in a game here at Rutgers, more than [when we played] Michigan State last year. The students are definitely just like a 12th man out there.

Brian Leonard

I feel a lot more confident with the team this year. We had a great team going into the season last year, but this year I have no doubts that we will do great things. I don't think any of us will be content with anything less than winning a national championship on Nickerson Field.

Alex Mount

This early in the year that's phenomenal. I mean that is really quite amazing. Another highlight of the day for us ... I can't remember when Capital has won all three throwing events in a track meet. And I've been coaching a long time.

Lon Carter

There's something about this group. This is a pretty unique little team. They've got such good chemistry. By the end of the year these five guys have a chance to be great.

Bruce Brockbank

That could've been our worst half of offense of the year and it's a one-point game. We prepared for in-your-face, man-to-man pressure, and we still played like we were down 20. We were too jumpy. We didn't have any calming influence on offense.

Steve Bartos

Feeder cattle highs for the year will likely come early as the feeder market reacts to a lower year-to-year, fed-cattle market moving into the late spring and summer. Feeder cattle basis levels in April and May could be highly erratic due to forced early movement of wheat cattle off winter grazing programs.

Kevin Good

It's a loss. We are 2-1. What happened last year doesn't matter. We beat them once and lost to them once. We lost to them when it counted and that's all that matters about last year.

Alan Faneca

Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.

Steven Wright

I was very impressed with my team overall this year. When you get a chance to really look back at it, we had a great season.

Kristi Heafner

We just have not seen much snow at all this year.

Adrienne Leptich

1492. As children we were taught to memorize this year with pride and joy as the year people began living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America. Actually, people had been living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America for hundreds of years before that. 1492 was simply the year sea pirates began to rob, cheat, and kill them.

Kurt Vonnegut

What this seems to tell us is, whatever the conditions were that allowed for a good recruitment index last year are persisting this year.

Lynn Fegley

Investors want to see the forecasts for the current fiscal year. They want to see what kind of earnings growth companies are expecting.

Toru Otsuka

We do this to ourselves every year. We put ourselves in a position where we have to battle like this until the end of the season. It's frustrating. We can't go back. That's the way it is.

Georges Laraque

It puts us in a bad spot when we have to transfer funds. We need to be more prudent...Maybe we were just reaching for the sky in this first year.

Sue Smith

We have a responsibility to the public to do the right thing, ... We've got 14-year-olds that read the newspaper.

Tom Bailey

I am really proud of Michael Redd and Jordan Barrios today. Michael had his best round of the year. Jordan bounced back with a better round than our match on Monday.

Matt Rodgers

There are probably two sporting events in the world that are bigger than the festival in terms of people ... the Olympics and the soccer World Cup, ... The soccer World Cup sold 2.7million tickets last year and we sold 2.6million between all the festivals.

Paul Gudgin

Ryan really came into his own and made great strides last season. We were expecting even bigger things this year and so far, he's delivered.

Bob Holmes

There will be two new products next year. In the first half there will be a person-to-person skill game and in the second half there will be another more akin to casino.

Richard Segal

We have an outside chance. We're ranked in the top 10, but they only take seven teams, so I don't think we'll get a bid this year.

Rush Cole

Obviously, this is not what we wanted. But the result is not what's most important. We learned a lot this year and grew as a team.

Michael Gillman

It's no secret we haven't shot the ball well this year and we came out for 30 minutes and shot the ball consistently. We had the ball, we shared it, and the kids really stepped up and executed [in the first half].

Charley Toomey

The newspaper report this morning that the Bank of Japan is considering steps to limit a rise in interest rates lent some support to the debt market, although some appeared to unload 10-year debt for hedging purposes before the auction tomorrow.

Yasunari Ueno

The inflation numbers were disappointing, and the market is speculating the Fed may have to move above 5 percent. Negative sentiment prevails, and 10- year yields could go toward 5.1 percent in the near term.

Nick Stamenkovic

They're strong at two and three (singles). We have a lot of options and this is one of our options as to who we want to play in singles. This was a good test for this lineup and I'm not so sure that this is the lineup that we're going to have at the end of the year. This is only our third match.

Bill Reed

We had a lot to contend with last year after being moved off the turnpike. But we learned a lot.

Al Cohen

Although fuel costs were up sharply from last year, the increase was dampened to a large degree by our ongoing fuel hedging program.

Donald Carty

We assembled a great group of investors for our seed round last year, and now we've built on that with a powerful and diverse group for our first equity round.

Jonathan Weber

The ownership transfer formality is expected to be completed within this year.

Brent Willis

There were some good moments. It's hard to gauge it before seeing the film. Our emphasis just like last year has been ball security and to eliminate pre-snap penalties, and we have five of those today.

Mark Hutson

If I had a brain in my head I'd quit right now. I'm not going to be as good a coach next year.

Bob Vaughan

For this year anyway, without question, the competition was there and the boys were up to the task today. They came back and shot a good number.

Tom Romance

It's probably something she's been playing with the whole season. It's been bothering her and she got it looked at. She's basically been playing on one leg the whole season. It's the same leg she broke in softball last year. She broke the fibula then and now it's the tibia.

Brian Blume

These are the main events for these folks. They are in training all year -- there is no off-season. The games are a highlight that they look forward to -- they connect to old friends, compete and are treated like celebrities.

Linda Bird

We scored goals and had limited success, but we didn't really have the team (last year) to show the potential we had this year.

Amanda Weber

I think he'll learn a lot from [coach] Brent Sutter and it's a very good situation for him. We thought he'd learn more in this year of junior and part of that meant playing on this team where you have to play in pressure situations and be a leader.

Dave Nonis

It's a grant we get every year.

Ricky Boren

They had opportunities today and took advantage of what they could and I have nothing to be upset about. They played their best match all year.

Nich Schafer

The second half of last year we started to see another list of projects in place. It is in a lucrative position with one of the strongest production profiles in the sector with very attractive margins as well.

Doug Leggate

We had everything it took this year to get over the hump. We just didn't execute.

Andrew Griffin

There is going to be a lot of competition for the two starting forward spots this year. It's going to be good.

Todd Gilbert

We've been kind of a skeleton crew all year. It's had an affect on us from the start, but we're hoping we'll get everyone back soon. Our goal is to try and improve our level of play the rest of the way.

Joel Dunn

I?m more prepared for this distance this year.

Sopagna Eap

We've been proud of the way we've handled the pressure all year long against very good teams. That's a credit to our guys recognizing what's coming at them and hanging in there when things get a little tough.

Mike Sjoberg

The kids that come off of the bench and don't play a lot their expectations won't be any lower next year. They would like a chance to play on a big floor like that and it's just good to get them in the game and get a little experience and maybe make them a little hungry.

Tim Jermain

The strength of the AOL cash flow and billed subscribers were better than investors were expecting and an increase in full-year guidance is clearly a good sign.

Richard Greenfield

It's kind of an embarrassment of riches there. This year, we asked like 15 people, and got 14 ... For the artists attending, it's very valuable to listen to these established artists talk about their careers.

Roland Swenson

When we got here, there was only one good bridal fair each year, and that was in January.

Carolayne Holley

That's a very nice feeling. Last year, I hit 30 home runs and drove in 100 runs but we didn't go nowhere. Right now, we have a chance to go somewhere. That's most important to me.

Miguel Cabrera

We graduated only one starter in Catherine Flynn , but she was our leading goal scorer last year. I don't think we have one player that is going to score like Catherine did last year, but as a team, I think we will be able to fill that void by having several players increase their offensive production.

Keith Wilbur

This text messaging campaign is yet another tool for parents to use to keep their kids protected. All too often, the joy of prom season is overshadowed by tragedy. We want to prevent that this year and encourage parents to register and send their teens a message and - most importantly -- talk to teens about the importance of making responsible decisions as they become young adults.

Jack Church

Last year, when I got that stress fracture and I was out for a while, I got really down on myself. My attitude became horrible. It wasn't a good time for me, and I wasn't good for the team.

Adam Grant

I think it helps that I have been there. I won't have the jitters I had last year.

Jesse Williams

They needed that, because they've been banged up this year. They're getting better, despite injuries and sickness.

Jake Winslow

It's not too difficult to get that license, but in California you have to have 30 hours [of classes], and each year after that you have to have so many hours of continuing education.

William Perez

Gates is a young team in a rebuilding year. We were fortunate to catch them on a day when they weren't at their strongest. I was pleased to see Samantha (Costell) right herself after such a horrible start. Her second set was the best she's played all year.

Vic Ramsey

My 10-year-old asked me if the doctor sewed his head back on. Can you imagine what my children are dreaming about?

Maria Wells

There's demand for these bonds from somebody who needs duration. The economic backdrop would suggest that buying 30-year Treasuries at 4.47 would end up being a painful trade.

David Durrant

The city hires me year-round to do a lot of stuff.

Larry Groce

Home-buying is not a snap decision -- people mentally prepare for it and search for homes, and this is a three-to-four-month process. Plus, even with the rise in mortgage rates, they're still below last year's figure and still close to 45-year lows.

Lawrence Yun

There are various hidden uncertainties if we look at the main growth engines. Exports depend on external factors and it will be a big question as to whether China's exports can be a single flower blossoming if the world economy slows next year.

Qu Hongbin

I think our kids are excited to go on the road together. They have got to be able to dig down and do what we have done well all year and be better at some things. We need to play with confidence, play hard, play smart, and play together, and we'll live with what happens after that.

Bonnie Henrickson

This year, what they're asking of me is something that I've been wanting the entire time I've been here. It's very exciting to get a chance to lead.

Bryan Ball

The Olympic Games tends to be a little more of a coming together of all the nations, so it's different. I really can't imagine a bad reaction. If it was going to be bad [in Athens], it would have been bad in Paris [at the World Championships] with all that went on last year with France. The reception was fine. Just pretty much like all the others we've gotten in other places.

Alan Culpepper

We're planning on opening up two modular schools next year to use until the replacement schools can be built.

James Hoyle

This number combined with the other high numbers is going to force the government to keep interest rates high and make sure the budget is austere for the next year. High rates are bad news for equity holders.

Damian Fraser

It was a terrible year. We lost money.

Dave Eckberg

We have that mind-set of where we know what we need to do to be better than we were last year and to [put ourselves] in a better situation.

Anthony King

He is very strong in the air. He is leaps and bounds from where he was last year.

Barry Gorman

If you have a car you want to donate, do it this year.

Martin Nissenbaum

You know, to see both cars run well this year, it's outstanding. It means a lot, because we know the equipment is the same. These guys have done an outstanding job.

Rick Hendrick

This would represent a significant reprioritization of expenditures given that the fiscal year is already one quarter through.

Alan Gibson

He was the type of player that loved to take on a defense by himself. He had that next-level ability to always break down the first defender and that creates a lot of problems for a defense. And he could do that from his sophomore year in high school.

Tom Ryan

I think in general, all of us are somewhat disappointed in the second half of this calendar year in terms of the semiconductor opportunity.

Donald Macleod

It's live at Delta Venus for a reason. Delta has been our starting point and we owe a lot to that place. We played there every week for over a year and a half and it's basically built us a following in Davis and really helped us learn the whole time.

Danny Chaves

I haven't heard those rumblings. If they wanted to put in a proposal to change the format, it wouldn't go into effect until the following year.

Mark Beckman

If we don't dredge every year, the cruise ships won't be able to tie up.

Jim Larson

Everybody on the team was involved last year. There are a lot of people who are still very hungry on this team.

Vince Catanzaro

This is easily perceived as the fourth 20-year-plus anchor stepping aside, and that's not the case, ... A number of people said once Ted goes, there goes 'Nightline.' .

Tom Bettag

Although nobody wants to have a dry year, it's really beneficial for the waterfowl habitat to be dry. That's really good for the soil, trees and other plants to be dry.

Andrew James

A person, say a male 40-year-old, could pay $300 to $350 a year. Ten years ago, that would've cost probably $800 to $1,000 a year.

Steve Weisbart

The offense did a good job in the two-minute drill to get down there and use up all the clock. We found a way to get it done. We've had some ups and downs this year, but this team has a lot of heart.

Adam Vinatieri

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

We had our opportunities, I chalk it up as a win against a team that was a (Division III) regional finalist last year. It was a step in the right direction. It's a positive. We won 50-50 balls and we did a good job of clearing the ball. We have a lot of heart. If we're healthy and we have everybody available, were playing with most teams.

Jake O'brien

The strong first-quarter results lead us to believe that 1998 will again be a very good year for both Chrysler and the industry.

James Holden

Next year we are definitely going to work harder on preparing for our first-round match, pull out a victory and take it from there.

Ryan Russell

Last year, we went down to the final lap of the final race. I just don't see how [the system] can get any better than that.

Benny Parsons

It was a real good event last year, everybody had lots of fun. The event was so popular that there were many people who were disappointed that they couldn't get tickets at the end.

Irene Towell

It's notoriously a very volatile number, but it went to record levels just a scant year ago.

Ben Hock

Beth had really turned herself around with her attendance and grades. We're proud of her. Even though she didn't play in some games this year, the NCHSAA considers dressing out equal to playing.

Debra Rhymer

We've had a great turnout. We're very pleased. It's bigger than last year.

Gina Turner

The other time it crops up, unfortunately too often throughout the year, is when a team wins a championship and decides to celebrate, then they have random events.

Paul Wetzel

With this we can truly showcase all of the things our clients are doing throughout the year. Just the littlest things we can do for our clients can help them and others be achievers.

Stephanie Anderson

Our projected deficit for the June 30, 2007, school year is $2.3-million.

Cindy Crowe

I hope the young bucks can step it up. We need them. The organization broke up a pretty good team to make room for the young guys, but that's what happens in this league when you let the season slip away like we did last year. Change happens.

Gerard Warren

I won't say you can get rich at it, but last year was a pretty good money year for me.

Mike Forrester

They told us to try again next year.

Al Kidd

We've met our 10-year business-development plan in just a few weeks. It's an opportunity, but it's a difficult situation because it's within all our interests for New Orleans to get back on its feet.

Stephen Moret

He was seen seated behind a desk, immobile, with no close-ups allowed. Virtually his only movement occurred during a poignant moment when his wife swooped in to give him a Happy New Year kiss.

Tom Shales

I think you will find we will have to repay the debt and before the election next year a special rate will have been imposed.

Max Walker

The annual change can't stay this high. Maybe for another year, but it will have to slow.

Tom Rex

If it had been a year it would have been too soon. But, it's been a little while.

Herman Moore

We were prepared for a more difficult ride than we wound up with. An S&P 500 of 3 percent is not terrific, but it's not a bad year.

Dorsey Farr

As long as my confidence stays up, we should do great. This is our year.

Joey Cabret

The concern is for the future. Within the next century, it's almost certain that there will be years when we're putting in two (seconds) per year.

Dennis Mccarthy

The members of this 2006 board reflect the wide influence and broad applications of the IEEE 1394 standard. We have leadership and representation from a very broad range of markets, including consumer electronics, computers, peripherals, audio, and industrial. We anticipate a strong year for the standard, and excellent leadership from this diverse group.

James Snider

He's a freshman that's got a lot of potential. We were hoping he could use this year and Erik as a tutor to get him ready, but he's going to get right into the fight (today). We'll find out how he's going to react.

Jimmy Teague

This is the year. We continue to see the trend that he has in his votes. He doesn't reflect our family values, the people in our district or the direction our country should be going.

Heath Shuler

Cabinet noted the sterling work done by the South African Revenue Service in surpassing targets for revenue collection in the financial year just ended.

Joel Netshitenzhe

We are working hard to shore up the defensive end. Will Clark had been to state the last two years in the hitting derby and we have gone and watched him and the games. We have seen what it takes to get there and hopefully we are going to take it to the next step. We were one game away last year and are pretty motivated to get there.

Tony Pullen

My wife's been gone a year, but I felt like this is something I needed to do. I have been pretty successful without a diploma, but I feel like as far as confidence and uplifting myself, I think this has really helped.

Jeff Carty

We really struggled. The only team that beat them twice in that Super Bowl year was New Orleans. They ran the ball effectively, and that's what you have to do against Tampa.

Rich Gannon

Every game, Robert's getting better and better. He's kept us in so many games this year with his goaltending.

Rob Kelley

Last year, it was our entire pitching staff. This year, it's going around everywhere. That's what it's been like, and yet we've been playing well.

Tony Foti

Mentally, you've just got to keep an open mind. Obviously, John had a great year and I'm behind him, I support him. You just have to stay sharp. As a two-deep quarterback, you don't get as much reps, which is tougher because it's harder to get in a rhythm.

Tyler Donovan

I thought his rookie year was his most amazing year. For him to master two positions, grow with the speed of the league and to do it from both inside and outside positions and have success was nothing short of amazing. The second year he took the normal progression from year one to year two. That's when the greatest growth occurs, especially for linemen, and he took off.

Brian Baker

Everything is pretty much working right now. This year I've been working on being a leader. Just stepping in and giving advice, talking to people on the field.

Ashley Miller

Our best game of the year, by far. We had a little trouble early, but they played their hearts out.

Scott Cummings

We were billed at the end of the last fiscal year, and I've toyed with this for quite some time. I've just need to get direction from the board to see if you all see something I don't.

Richard Tillis

There are (election) problems every year. By (making permanent) the resolutions that have been helpful in previous years, we hope to minimize the issues, and are now able to offer amendments to make other resolutions more effective.

Nick Benson

I played against him in Rome and Hamburg this year, won twice in straight sets. Also, I haven't lost to a Spaniard this year yet, so hopefully tomorrow this will continue.

Carlos Moya

Four of the mansions will be on the market this year. Because they are national landmarks, there are tight restrictions on modifications owners can do to the exterior of the mansions.

Jason Keadjian

We had a little situation here earlier in the year that wasn't pleasant and wasn't right.

Mel Martinez

I thank family, friends and Dad's former colleagues in this past difficult year.

Kristin Dierking

I don't know why we've got all of these new guys, but they're coming. We're going to have a great, great year as far as the Sportsman class goes.

Butch Behn

I'm so proud of our kids. I'm so proud of their effort and their work ethic and their heart. I'm ecstatic of what they have done and the way they worked. They deserve all the credit in the world. This is truly a great group of kids and most of them return next year.

Skip Johnson

Our pitching and defense have been terrific. My first year, I think we rattled off about 10 (wins) in a row. But this is quite a streak. Our kids are on a good run. We're playing good baseball.

Jason Portz

Don't tell me you have forgotten the year 2000.

Joe Brancatelli

Could that happen again? Sure, because it will take the clear signal of a rate cut before the two-year note yield will start moving down.

Michael Cheah

Like I told our guys - this has nothing to do with last year.

Bill Cowher

I'm a happy guy. We went from a position where we were basically searching for a guy last year. We didn't have a guy pretty much throughout the year. ... Now it gives us more opportunities to get other guys on the field, and Devin, we're real excited about him.

Dave Toub

We're not just concerned about the consequences of underage drinking but also with preventing the illegal sale of alcohol to children. We liaise very closely with licensees all year round to make sure that they understand the law, and the consequences of breaking it.

Theresa May

Last year I had what I considered a bad game by my standards, ... But it wasn't a horrible game like everybody thinks… He can spin without stopping. He never stops moving his feet.

Jonathan Ogden

It's bad enough Hawkesbury has a stand alone Saturday next year.

John Nicholson

We're always making fun of him, but the funny thing is there are 24- and 25-year-old guys trying to do what he's doing, and they're coming up short.

Cortez Hankton

Everyone's bonuses were a little bit better this year, and they've seen the value of their assets increase, so if you go to an electronics store now there are a lot more people.

Hiroyuki Nakai

There is a lot of basketball. We try to separate it, but invariably we talk basketball pretty much all year 'round.

Dave Fouch

I knew it would happen. Just when was the question. But at this point in time, it doesn't matter if it happened last year or now. It's done. That's the most important thing to me.

Dominique Wilkins

It's been tight all year long between us and First Flight. I figured it would come down like it did. Obviously, it was a tie and we won on the sixth-place finisher, but I'm very pleased. This is the way it is with First Flight every meet. We've actually lost that last three or four to them by one point each time, so it's very pleasing today.

Denny Chalk

Like all companies, we are closely monitoring the economy, but what we see at this time indicates we can hit our target for full-year revenue growth.

Ivan Seidenberg

At this time of year there are approximately 19,000 cars per day traveling from 589 to Coastal Highway that will need to be diverted.

Gene Cofiell

We increased this year in terms of the number of presenters.

Lita Saiki

We've got to go back to their ballpark. We'll put this one behind us. We've been through too much this year not to. It hurts, but it's over. Move on.

Craig Biggio

We're expecting more people this year. We have some good weather coming up.

Vera Gibbons

I have that fresh start feeling that comes around every September, ... That's one of the unique things about educationevery new school year is like spring.

Tom Hall

Our support was great this season. And we hope it continues next year when we raise our championship banner.

Joe Augustine

She's improved a lot from last year and is in a new role. Autumn's inside this year instead of being out on the wing.

Jay Freese

Well, I decided earlier this year that I would run for president, and obviously I needed something to run on.

Craig Armstrong

Our saying this year is we have to take something away from other teams. And that's what we did tonight. If we keep doing all the things we need to do all year long, we're going to keep taking games away from those teams in front of us.

Keith Tiemeyer

We added over 85,000 cases to the backlog last year. This year, we will add over 100,000 cases to the backlog.
