At the time it was kind of a slap in the face to not only this organization but the whole NFL and the way the draft works, ... Everybody knows the best guy's going to go to the worst team from the year before. If everybody had a choice and said, 'Hey, I don't want to play there,' then we'd have to (make) some major changes.

Ben Leber

Pretty much everywhere we go, there's been a lot of excitement this year. Everyone seems to be enjoying the game.

Manny Legace

We had trouble scoring last year but our offense has improved a lot. The team is working harder and we played well together tonight. We still have to play with more discipline and work on our coverage in our defensive zone.

Justin Wentworth

We're Miami's best-kept secret. People don't know we work with 27,000 schoolchildren a year and do conservation work in 15 countries.

Mark Maunder

A 12-year-old 20 years ago and a 12-year-old today are reading at very different levels. That's just the way it is.

Greg Rucka

Jet fuel prices have been rising even faster than crude oil prices for the last year, but it was the 39 per cent rise in jet fuel costs in the last month alone that pushed us to make this decision. We have made incredible progress in lowering our operational costs for over two years now. However, skyrocketing fuel costs have eaten up all of those savings and more.

Dan Garton

It was nice to win one when we didn't play well. That didn't happen much last year. We probably only played well for a three-minute patch. We had a few good players, but we couldn't get five going all at once.

Cheryl Chambers

Don't put your snow shovel away. Last year, we didn't get out until the third week of January, and we were on the ice until March 20.

Pat Chrysler

We will develop the opening and closing ceremonies early in the New Year and complete the rest of the 14 day program as well.

Mick Beddoes

It was a good team win. We had good balance which has been one of our strengths all year.

Brian Roper

Every year, I've been pretty blessed, but I have not yet not enjoyed coaching these kids. I enjoy coming to practice and hanging out with them and coaching them and watching them grow.

Mark Deaugustino

The area [scouts] have quite the grind. They see anywhere from 400 to 600 games a year. They don't see all of a game, but they may see three or four in a day or more if there's a tournament. It gets kind of lost in the shuffle. I think [scouting] is done more for the genuine love of being in baseball.

Tim Wilken

This is my ninth year to sing with the chorus. I joined after I retired and I certainly enjoy singing with them. Our average age is 72 and we have a great time together. We practice each Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Our performances begin around the middle of April.

John Douglas

It's really important, especially in our league. You never know who is going to do what. It's going to be a fight all year, I think.

Shawn Scobee

The American Baseball Coaches Association started All-American honors in that year. That was also the first year of the College World Series.

John Askins

For most people, if you pay at least as much as your liability was the previous year, you're protected from any penalties or interest.

Tom Ochsenschlager

The market remains bullish dollars, ... It's looking to take the dollar to new highs for the year. The overwhelming theme is Fed monetary policy.

Meg Browne

Regardless of who we're playing, we want to play as good as we can this time of year. We had a good practice (Monday), and we hope to be at our best (in the sectional).

Jack Schweers

Everyone contributed. This was a big win for us. We've been working really hard and we have some big goals for this year.

Chris Jordan

She (a woman politician) will be challenging a system that is still wedded to militarism and that saves billions of dollars a year by underpaying women and using them as a reserve cheap labor supply.

Bella Abzug

We had more girls play year-round soccer than any other year. Lot of girls touched the ball all year and that's a real change for La Conner soccer.

Amy Freeto

We waited for a year for one, then to get a call for two almost the same day.

Tom Mullins

We made chili a lot. We were always making something new. One year I got pots and pans for Christmas and I loved it.

Todd Santanello

These millionaire households understand that calculated risks are still a necessity within their portfolio design. However, over 50 percent have become much more conservative in their investment approach over the past year.

Jeanette Luhr

We file thousands of cases a year as a police agency, ... We know what the criteria is to file a case. We have seen, in this instance, a tremendous reluctance to deal with issues because there are police officers that are being accused and there are gang members who are victims.

Bernard Parks

I think internally we're all feeling really good about it. To know that we accomplished the same record as last year with the experience we had, it says a whole lot about those 11 players.

Anne Donovan

I kind of got on Katie. The whole thing was mental, but it all came together for her this weekend. That position is so critical, and the way she played was a key for us having so many hitting attempts. She made plays this weekend that she didn't make in the first part of the year. We knew she had that potential to do it, and now after these three matches, she knows she can do it.

Lisa Schriver

A contractor in Arizona doubled his size in his second year and a contractor in Cincinnati doubled his output in a single year. One guy in Illinois had so many calls he couldn't handle them, so he had to cancel the number. I sold the number to one of his competitors who has the same problem but is better equipped to handle it.

Tom Fee

We don't have any seniors on our team this year so we are very young. But besides being a young team we are focused and ready to compete.

Andrew Washington

There were some real gems out there this year. We couldn't be prouder of all our students.

Paula Timpano

I think it's a decent quarter, but that's going to be offset by some of the cautionary statements the company made for the rest of the year.

Jeff Graff

Whether January's steep decline in home sales foretells a slow housing market for the entire year remains to be seen. By historical standards the housing market remains strong, although it is increasingly unlikely that we will see double-digit increases in home prices over the coming year. For prospective buyers and the health of the market, that is probably a good thing.

Leonard Zumpano

We had an outstanding year and the guys did a great job. I'm very pleased with what went on this year. There are a lot of good things that have gone on.

Aaron Johnson

Somebody is going to get a good deal on a Monte Carlo sometime in February,? he said. His friend claims Hall will clamor for him to pick him up when he is unable to get to work early next year.

Russell Hall

All of them have been working on this since May of last year and I think this evening shows the result of all their hard work.

Barbara Keller

I doubt the advance is done for the year. There are a lot of seasonal characteristics that are in play and there is still a lot of liquidity.

Peter Brodie

Helping customers manage their bills is also a priority. This includes encouraging customers to take advantage of 'Budget Billing,' whereby they can spread their bills evenly over the year, avoiding the jumps that come with higher usage in summer and winter.

Tom Graham

It's good that we got here. Now a lot of teams should respect us and know that we're not just a pushover. It should be fun. We have a really good sophomore class who will be juniors next year, so it should be a good team.

Isiah Martinez

Banner ads are down slightly. In the second quarter of 1999, banner ads represented 59 percent of all online ads. In the first quarter of this year, they represented 52 percent. In the second quarter, they represented 50 percent.

Tom Hyland

It was great to get my first touchdown like that, ... This game was all about the seniors. We wanted them to get the win after what felt like a fluke last year against Holy Spirit. I'm glad I helped the seniors get the win.

William Alston

He's proposing tax cuts that are clearly not affordable. If they were affordable, he would do them all this year.

Frank Mauro

He's such a competitor. He was our closer last year. We needed him to start and he's responded. He wants the ball with the game on the line.

Tee Mitchell

We got a fifth year back for him and he took full advantage of it. He had a ton of heart and got his national championship. I just couldn't be happier. That goes along with his sixth-place finish in the long jump which was unexpected. It was just awesome.

Dick Booth

They offered us a package that mirrored what we already had and a three-year contract agreement. It saved a lot of heartache.

Fred Janicke

Now the company is going from strength to strength, ... We've tripled our turnover in a year and we've earned record profits.

Michelle Mone

We're going to play 11 or 12 kids every day, so it's not like we'll have three or four kids on the bench just waiting until next year — everybody's going to have to contribute. That's what has made it fun so far.

Denny Butler

No one knows what the market will look like next year and a profit warning from Intel does not bode well.

Haruki Takahashi

This win was so important. We want to show people we're for real. We want to try to win it all this year.

Mike Christensen

Last year was the bounce-back year and this year is the consolidation year.

Douglas Mcwilliams

I got nothing to do with the Cardinals three, four years ago; I only got to do with the Cardinals last year. I think it's just a new attitude around here. The new coaches, new schemes, new uniforms -- we're just going in a positive direction.

Darnell Dockett

From one year to the next I went to a physical and was expecting to just check the box. The next thing I knew my blood pressure was elevated and I had to see a cardiologist.

Joe Montana

Tom has been pretty consistent for us this year. He's an eight-rebound, eight-point type of guy who plays some nice defense.

Don Byron

The manufacturing sector is going to continue to show bad news over the next three to six months, but if we get the indication that consumers are starting to buy more, then things like the NAPM will start to reverse themselves later this year.

John Forelli

It was a very formative time for me when I was getting into music. It was the year of the concept album and there were so many fantastic singles.

Paul Weller

We know customers are buying new hardware [on a regular basis]. Customers recycle about one-third [of their hardware] each year. That's a very sure way to migrate over to the desktop.

Craig Beilinson

I have three children who are absolutely devastated. My older kids (understand) but my 5-year-old doesn't. She just lost three baby brothers.

Danielle Bimber

The section that we have really brought out this year is the romantic element of the story.

Jerome Lucido

We'll replace the bridge half at a time, starting in March of this year and completing the project by October 2007. We'll do U.S. 54 west from the city limits to Spring Lake Street first, then State Street east.

Bill Girard

2003 was without any doubt a difficult year for our wines in the U.S., for accidental and structural reasons, ... This has been a wakeup call.

Francois Loos

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.

Dana Peiffer

For this year, we are targeting 1,000 business establishments out of the 2,000 recorded that include groceries, hardware shops and the like. We conduct the validation to check for their business names, proper price tags and labeling and product standards, which is under the Fair Trade Laws.

Mimosa Regis

Japan's recovery is really firmly based and it is driven by domestic demand. For the rest of Asia, the pace of growth is expected to continue at a decent level this year and next.

David Burton

Health care is becoming less affordable every year. We'll continue to have to worry about whether lower-wage and even moderate-wage workers will continue to get good benefits through the workplace.

Gary Claxton

This year she's had to do it all. She's had to be the leading scorer. She's had to be the leader. She's had to be the one whose out there all the time.

Muffet Mcgraw

We didn't have Mike until the last three meets last year because of an injury, so it was good to have him back.

Marty Klein

Riley has been consistent for us all year. He didn't have his greatest fastball, but he had excellent off-speed stuff that got him out of jams. Sixty percent of his pitches were strikes, and that always helps.

Don English

It has been about a 2.1 mill increase each year.

William Porter

It gets cold. Winters are cold, it's not a surprise. We had such a mild November we'd need it to be 15 to 18 degrees below normal for the rest of the month to get the degree days we had last year, and that's not going to happen.

Nauman Barakat

The last four months of the (fiscal) year, we averaged about 8,000 recruits. We have a good momentum going right now.

Francis Harvey

I don't think there's one school out there that will dominate this year. It's nice to know that you will be able to go out every game and play hard and have a realistic chance to win.

Amanda Wood

In 2001, I was the pitching coach at Buffalo, and had to miss a game to come back to Minnesota for the 10-year reunion of that 1991 Twins team. I felt guilty being away from Buffalo, but Kirby was nice enough to sign 28 baseballs for me, to take back to all the players at Buffalo. Kirby was always a guy who was willing to give. He made people happy, and he's definitely going to be missed.

Carl Willis

We got the Southeastern championship [at the end of the season]. [Our goal] is to win those each year.

Andrew Babock

Size matters, and the calendar year is a nice milestone to reflect upon. But it's like a sprint that never ends.

Jim Sanfilippo

We had two dates last year ... It was a problem with vendors like getting new furniture and getting new rugs put in.

Brian Cummings

We definitely at times this year have had an issue with finishing. Guys would make too many moves trying to score. Coach told us that we just need to take it to the net and the goals will come.

Andy Wilkinson

Two years ago our industry was pegged to be an $80 billion industry, and about 5 percent of that, or $4 billion, outsourced, ... Some new data we looked at shows that this industry by the year 2,000 will go to about $120 billion, with about $23 billion being outsourced.

David Epstein

Recent reports suggest that funds may have been spent more on ground wars than on television advertising campaigns. It will be interesting to see whether this strategy spills over to judicial elections this year or whether spending on airtime continues its upward spiral.

Deborah Goldberg

My first year was not a good year. I probably won like four matches. I was thinking it wasn't for me. But my brother convinced me to go out for one more year. I noticed my record was about .500. I was obviously improving, so hey, maybe it was for me.

Matt Lee

A 33-year-old man wrote that in a matter of weeks. A 67-year-old man can't come back to it.

John Guare

My script was copyrighted in 1999 while I was in college, and theirs was copyrighted in 2001, the same year that I was getting investors and letters of intent. A very famous celebrity gave Ice Cube my script and the story board. I am not saying two people can't have the same idea, but for our concepts to be similar is impossible.

James Davis

That was the nice thing with the girls this year, that they had a solid team.

Jim Callahan

We thought it was going to be successful, but nothing like it has been. In the first full year, we had 200,000 people go through the gates, and we're a community of 85,000.

Mike Warren

[Even with the rising costs, the travel industry is having its best year since before 2001.] Last year was a massive year for holiday travel, ... The summer kept going in that direction, and we have the same expectation for this year despite fuel costs. If you wait until November, I think you run the risk of not getting what you want or paying a whole lot more to get what you want.

Amy Ziff

We train our guys to make it to the state series every season. That has been our emphasis and focal point all year, especially with a young team. Taking second is a hard thing to swallow. I don't care who wins it, it wasn't us and that's just a hard thing to swallow.

Travis Dewalt

President Bush has demonstrated tremendous courage and resolve in the past year. He has been the decisive leader these times have required.

Jim Demint

Based on this program and our consistency, our referrals are decreasing considerably. At this point last year, Valor processed 400 referrals and right now we have processed 100.

Victor Vergara

It?s our biggest holiday of the year, our biggest week of the year.

Nancy Stern

We are getting close (to where we need to be). We are improving from week to week. I enjoy seeing them smile and reaching them (as a coach). They have all stepped up this year and we have a couple of captains who are very passionate.

Deb Gaines

With stocks at 47.9 pct above the five-year average, any upward momentum on futures prices is expected to be modest.

Ben Weagraff

We learned a few lessons from last year, and everything is going smoothly this year.

Tom Page

Just the changes in the ice -- we weren't picking it up fast enough. It's not a major concern. In the worlds last year, we had to win six in a row. There's a good to both sides of this thing ... I'll tell you after what it is.

Randy Ferbey

They are definitely playing really well .... You see that level of experience and confidence that maybe without any seniors last year was not always there.

Charli Turner Thorn

Brighton is a good team; I don't have anything against them. I'm so proud to have been a part of this team this year.

Ashley Mcfarland

We are pleased to open five new stores in April as a part of our planned 14 to 16 new stores this fiscal year. We look forward to continuing to bring Golf Galaxy's unique interactive store concept to so many new markets and to continuing our expansion into the greater New York metropolitan area.

Randy Zanatta

You try to get excited, but it's not healthy. You can't get excited until you get to this time of year.

Bob Baffert

Even though summer is coming, we still have jeans and denim mini skirts. Denim carries through the year.

Sarah Rupiper

In essence, during this last year as you waited for the Legislature to decide (on the community college capital construction bill), it has not hurt you at all to keep those funds liquid, ... It worked out very well for you and the (local government investment) pool has managed very well.

Brent Peterson

We're seeing stronger bookings and therefore have had less of an impact on our schedule than we saw last year.

Todd Burke

To go somewhere else for your senior year would be really hard.

Michael Simmons

I'm just so thankful to have had the opportunity to win a championship with these guys. Everything that has come our way this year has been a blessing.

Roy Miller

Most of the losses of the year are tied to the fact that we're still flying old airplanes and we're spending a lot of money to buy the new airplanes.

Ben Baldanza

Tom told me that the weather conditions in South Dakota are not currently favorable for pheasant trapping, but a new snow could help Pennsylvania get another shipment of birds yet this year. The cooperation that we get in South Dakota is just tremendous.

José Taracido

You know if there's a reasonable settlement opportunity that we'd be there. I think we showed last year that we were willing to settle that.

Cfo Dennis Kavelman

This is just a one-year agreement. It's the first step on the road to doing what we need to do, which is paying our employees a fair and competitive wage.

Jeff Friedman

We have a very strong group of players coming back from last year. We still need to get a lot better, but the conference looks pretty even right now and hopefully we can battle and be somewhere in the running.

Donna Mechley

We're going to have to go out there and earn it, though. We had a lot of guys coming back this year. It doesn't matter how few guys you lose, the chemistry always changes. Talent only gets you so far. Chemistry ... has to come with it.

Chris Petersen

With a three-quarter-billion-dollar order backlog and the first of many A500 deliveries last year, we now look forward to Craig providing his production experience to quickly ramp up deliveries to six aircraft per month to meet this strong customer demand.

Joe Walker

It's a terrible number but typical at the start of the year when you get a replenishment of inventories which boosts imports. But we are also still seeing the affects of the strong rand.

George Glynos

We had something special going last year, and we let it slip through our hands. We're getting another shot at it this year. We've got some key (new) guys that are coming in to help us out, so hopefully if we get in that situation again, the outcome will be in our favor.

Michael Boulware

We have a 29-year-old woman whose husband does not come to church. She downloads the sermons at home.

Brian Boles

The conservancy supports land trusts being held to the highest standards. Land conservation is a maturing field and there are many land trusts being created every year, and it behooves us to operate in a professional manner.

David Shields

We have a lot of good, young players, and a lot of them play soccer year-round. Anything can happen. We didn't expect to be where we are now. Our goal is to sneak a game or two from the big three this year. And next year, there's no reason why we can't be competitive with anyone.

Brian Rolfe

We consider the turnout this year satisfactory. This number could change as the rest of our reports come in.

Peter Erben

Investors bought telecom stocks without asking difficult questions about where the data market was going last year.

Joe Locke

[About 15 to 25 Division I-A teams change coaches each year, but the number usually includes a lot of perennial bottom feeders. How often do so many coveted positions come open in the same year?] Usually not often, ... It's too early to tell [how many will come open]. Certainly, the decision at Florida will gain some headlines, but in most instances, there's still a few games left.

Chuck Neinas

That's one of our goals this year. We've sure been working hard to get someone qualified this season.

Jim Vaughn

This case is one of the more disturbing cases that I've ever encountered in my 11-year career as a judge.

Daniel Ryan

We've just learned what to do since our freshman year and that's not to get excited and to execute when we need to. We just played Villanova basketball better than Louisville played Louisville basketball.

Jason Fraser

I learned a lot last year, and I'm still learning. Mike has given me a lot of responsibility. (General manager) Tom Donahoe let me go on the road to scout before the draft. He asked my opinions about players we needed. I really appreciate their faith in me.

Jerry Gray

There's nothing that I could think of that could have gone better. We didn't lose. We won the state championship. The accolades I got after the season were great, coach got coach of the year in state. It was great.

Andy Polka

That's 85 more kindergartners than last year.

Karen Strakbein

Overall, I thought we had good effort. We have quite a few coming back next year, and hopefully, they're not satisfied with this. We have to use this as motivation, and we'll begin getting ready for next year (today) because that's where it all starts.

Tony Vanhorn

That's happened to us before this year. We go up on teams and then we come out kinda sluggish in the second half. But I think just the way we were playing - we were playing aggressive, we were actually scoring today. I think we just stayed with the game plan. Everything just fell into place as the game went along.

Shaun Wynn

It's really been flourishing year after year. It's getting to be a big thing.

Chris Baxter

The players that are here from last year and the players that have joined this team are really on a mission. We're not done until that buzzer sounds tomorrow and, hopefully, we're cutting down the nets.

Kevin Love

He's been pretty focused since he took sixth last year. He walked off pretty disgusted with himself and since then, he's said to me and said to himself this year he's turning it around. He's trying to move to the top spot.

Jade Gribble

I didn't think things were going to be as good as they are now. But, we're all coming together now, and it's going to be an even better team next year.

Gerald Nelson

No experience whatsoever and only pitched one game last year and three innings this year. She's got a lot of potential. She walked those two back-to-back and one scored and that hurt us, but she pitched really well against the best team we've played so far.

Jodi Morgan

They are starting to play well. It's going to be a tough game. Next year they are going to be really, really good.

Shawn Taggart

I make a recommendation based on the revenue available in any given year.

Nancy Allen

She could do things on beam that I had no name for. As a third-year coach, I had visions of grandeur, thoughts of state championships dancing before me. I couldn't wait to work with someone at that level.

Diane Roberts

We came out clicking on all cylinders. We probably played our best game of the year.

Steve Segadelli

Every year it's like a straight line. Last year our traffic increased 60%. Now we're supported by ads. The consumer wants information, especially about genre films, even anime. We're very democratic. Even though genre films get the most hits, even if a movie opens in only one theater, we still cover it.

Senh Duong

One cannot help but begin the year with the sense that uncertain times lie ahead. The world economy is in a much more fragile state.

Charles Dallara

I can tell you this year there will be a considerable increase in the government's spending on the rural areas.

Jiang Enzhu

It's no big deal. It's something we did last year and tried to carry over to this year. But they want to enforce the rules. I'll cut it a little bit and see if they need it cut shorter or not.

Joe Crede

It's an issue of respect; that's what we're finally getting. I never would have thought a year ago, even a few months ago, that I would be sitting down and talking to the mayor. Now we have to see the action behind these words.

John Larkin

[Overall, following the statement,] the market is fairly clear that the Fed will keep raising rates by a quarter percentage point at each meeting through the end of the year, ... What the market is less sure of is what impact this will have on the economy.

Jeff Kleintop

Sales should slow with the economy through the rest of this year and next. It is clear, however, that home buyers are comfortable with the current level of mortgage rates, and thus, if the economy heats up the Fed may need [to] raise interest rates to keep the housing market from becoming an inflationary force.

Michael Boldin

I know that most of these guys won't be back next year. I've got my goals set pretty high for next year. I'm going to get myself to the finals next year.

Gabe Murtorff

We're looking to a better fourth quarter as opposed to the earlier part of the year.

John Gleason

She's thrown the ball well this year.

Sheryl Neff

I knew a woman who had headaches. She was told they were related to high blood pressure, and that if she were to lose weight, that would bring her blood pressure down and stop the headaches. This went on for more than a year. She had a brain tumor.

Pat Lyons

It seems we have come up to a mental stumbling block. Last year when we won 20 matches consecutively there was a confidence in the team and we did not care what target was we had to aim for or defend. We did it successfully. That confidence has to be regained.

Vincent Barnes

I sincerely believe she won. But given what she's gone through all year long, it's amazing that she was even in that position to begin with.

David Micahnik

Every year there seems to be some turnover.

Joe Lang

Steve, Rick and Josh are all favorites. Steve might be a little bit ahead. What hurt Steve last year is that nobody was willing to make him run hard.

Mark Olsen

Clearly German business sentiment has been on a decline since May last year and what we are seeing now is that German manufacturers are really feeling the impact of the global slowdown.

Peter Dixon

Last year they had a guy hand it to him that he didn't know. This year they said they wanted to personalize it a little bit. I'm not sure if he picked me to do it or if it was somebody at Duke or somebody with the award itself.

Billy Hicks

We didn't play well defensively. It's been our downfall all year.

Mark Krause

Studies on some of areas began last year, but will continue this year.

Armando Zamora

Many people thought ABC hit rock-bottom last year. But I think it's going to hit rock-bottom this year. They've got too many holes in the schedule to fill.

Marc Berman

It will be a cross-sports forum to look at whether a girl under 18 can handle tour life, ... We want our players to be out here for anything from 10 to 25 years. We don't want them burning white hot for a year or two and then flaming out.

Carolyn Bivens

I really feel that Auburn was the best team in the country last year. I wish they had gotten to play USC or Oklahoma. They would have shown they were the best team in the country.

Danny Verdun Wheeler

Kyle did a great job on the mound and we played the best defense we've played all year. We thought this would come down to defense. We knew we were going up against two of the best pitchers in the conference.

Darren Hotelling

I thought he was in his ninth or 10th year. He's a big guy and he's good. He gets his feet where they need to be. He never seems to be out of position.

Robert Geathers

[It is] a key development issue. Every year that a girl is in school is a progressive step towards ending poverty.

Carol Bellamy

We decided not to solve all of the space problems this year, since that would mean moving more kids next year. Hopefully, we'll clear up everything when we rezone next year.

Ron Bradshaw

Bankers Trust generated broad-based improvement in both revenue and profitability in the first quarter. Bankers Trust nearly doubled investment banking profit from a year ago.

Frank Newman

We've been ready to go since the last pitch of the College World Series last year. We didn't want to stop.

Brandon Mcarthur

The kids played hard and we made some plays and they hit the ball hard at us. They murdered the ball and we made the plays. We feel good about getting the first win of the year.

Joe Francisco

We enter the back half of the year with many more of our new merchandise programs now in place that have shown early success; coupled with our extensive store upgrade program for the year substantially completed, we are positive about the prospects for the balance of the year.

George Heller

That was a real heartbreaker for Greg. He worked hard all year to get into the finals and it just wasn't his time this time, I guess.

Marv Rankin

By the end of October, the cumulative year-to-date total of 22 732 units has already overtaken, by 32%, the highly celebrated result of 20 814 unit deliveries achieved during the corresponding period in 2004 which was, in itself, a post-1982 record for the market.

Frans Cloete

It looks as though we will have to go back this time. Instead of threatening GAIA Inc, as we were forced to do last year time and again, it looks like we will have to take some sort of action, without saying anything to anybody.

Dennis Clarke

There is a consensus with the member countries to maintain the current quota as there is enough oil in the market. I expect a barrel at US$50 at least for the second quarter of the year.

Chakib Khelil

Hit intentionally by a driver and we convicted him and put him in jail for a year.

Ralph Phillips

We're a young team this year, and to accomplish something like this is just great. The kids fought through a lot to get here.

Bob Berceau

[Arizona at NY Giants: 3:15 p.m. Sunday, Giants by 3 – Plaxico Burress left Pittsburgh in free agency because all the Steelers did was run. Now, the veteran receiver is looking to make a connection with second-year quarterback Eli Manning.] Hopefully, ... that Manning-to-Burress thing can be a big thing around here.

Plaxico Burress

I think we're going to surprise a lot of people, because our offense is going to be way more balanced. Last year we had 150 points out of one kid, and 90-something more out of another. You'll maybe see that same amount of goals scored, but a spread-out offense this time.

Jeremy Michalski

Our message to the Scottish Diaspora this New Year should be to come home to Scotland.

Kenny Macaskill

To make that putt shows some guts. I had two really good matches with him. For a 16-year-old, he's pretty good.

Michael Putnam

He pinned him earlier this year. And it wasn't a case of catching him and pinning him. As I recall, Jake was handling him pretty good.

Gary Baum

The number of times the exam will be available to be taken will be reduced as well. The maximum amount of administrations per year will be fixed at 30, which equates to approximately 2 times it can be taken each month.

Matt Fidler

Mentally what happened last year helps. You're not as nervous. You don't have to press as much because you know what it's about. That's just how it is.

John Gramuglia

We have had an awesome year in doubles and are hoping we don't drop the point this whole season. If one team has an off day, we have two others that give our opponents difficult doubles matches.

Catrina Thompson

The reality is that we have less funding to work with this year than last. We did not give anyone the amount they asked for.

Sergio Sanchez

I have some very good athletes on the team. I'd like to see the guys go five hundred in the conference. That would be a great step for them. If they could go five hundred and then bring all those guys back, that would be a good step for us. We can look at that as a year of progress.

Dave O'neal

We have no depth. Our secondary will be tougher than a year ago, because we're big and physical and have quickness. But we've got to get some depth right now.

Reggie Lewis

Higher gas prices will not deter Texans from traveling this holiday. Nearly 5.1 million Texans are expected to travel for the Christmas - New Year's holiday, up 1.4 percent from last year. When you factor in hotel and rental car rates, gasoline remains a relatively small part of most family travel budgets.

Rose Rougeau

I think we're just as good as we were last year, if not better.

Mel Wilkins

All year long, we've played close ballgames. I think that helped prepare us for tonight. I thought we did a pretty good job of keeping our composure down at the end.

Wayne Dickey

Obviously, we have an obligation to the students to have a positive school environment. You do that by having some stability throughout the classroom. Most principals want to have somebody in there for the rest of the school year, even if it means hiring a retired teacher.

Greg Kelly

It's going to be even bigger and better than last year.

Peter Spalthoff

We did about the way we thought we would. But give us another year or two and it will be very different.

Jon Kehler

The bottom line is he's still gonna die for this crime, ... Now [Cooper] knows what it's like to go to within four hours of execution. So he can think about that in the next year or whatever it takes for it to happen again.

Ann Hughes

Matt really peaked last year and he just got so much better at the end of the season. He surprised everybody.

Jonathan Bryant

We may not have as much offensively gifted talent. But we have more depth up front. As the season progresses we can become an even better team than last year.

Dan Rose

We've had a good representation of international buyers already, including French agents and English agents; there are three or four we haven't seen in a while. More people are looking at our sale and taking it seriously this year.

Jerry Mcmahon

The winter is a very tough and grueling time of the year. It's cold, rainy, and down right miserable a lot of the mornings out on the water. The team has showed a lot of character in the past month by working hard and staying disciplined in the tough conditions.

Carlo Facchino

It's a big variable. And this year, all of the [events] in primetime will be on tape.

Jon Swallen

We've been at the bottom of the league since I've been there. So for us to be a contender this year was a lot of fun. It was our first winning season in five years. And it was great to beat Hyde [Leadership of New Haven] twice. Of course, they beat us in the league playoffs, but we still had two wins.

Matt Crandley

It's gonna be fun. I saw them kind of working on it last year and it was looking pretty good. It's gonna be a fun place to play.

Anthony Reyes

We want it closed because we feel we have a distinct advantage if its closed. But I'm a 30-year-old man and I can deal with it. It's not like they stole my dog.

Morgan Ensberg

We were a real explosive offensive team at times last year, but we weren't as consistent as we need to be. I'm hoping our leadership and experience will make us more consistent, everybody buckling down and being tougher.

Dan Hammerschmidt

The 30-year now looks awfully expensive. A lot of people are apparently betting on the need for long duration from pension and insurance funds.

Robert Auwaerter

Not at all. The fact that we?re expected to play as well as we did last year puts a lot more pressure on me and Sheldon to play at the top of our game.

Lito Sheppard

Our numbers are up from last year and that will create a lof of competition at positions. That is, as far as I'm concerned, a good thing.

Randy Nelson

We are proud of our 40 year history in Australia and our commitment in the 1960s to begin manufacturing in Australia which we continue here today.

Marketing Manager

I think our pitching is our strength this year. We're very deep and we've got guys that throw strikes.
