Mark Ardis

Marc Nesci

Maggie White
When I got to high school, the best thing I knew how to do was art. I never really took a class. It was the oddest thing. It wasn't until I was in ninth-grade when I did a paper collage and my teacher put it in an art contest downtown.

Heading in, on paper I guess we're the favorites.
Tom Kettman
We have to take every step cautiously when handling these national treasures. Just imagine ¡ª it is almost a miracle that the ink has stayed on the paper.

Aimee Sprout
More and more taxpayers are using e-file and last year we saw more Michigan taxpayers file electronically than file by paper. It's fast, secure and easy.

Andre Walker
Cost-reduction targets sound good on paper but achieving many of them will require UAW cooperation.
Jonathan Steinmetz

Marlon Mccree
Right now the Constitution is mere paper, with no bearing upon the British people, although they might find it good for doorstops, good for real fires and good for fish and chips.
Nigel Farage
We just read it in the paper this week. It's kind of amazing. Actually we were just talking; we're going to miss it. It's probably one of our favorite stores.
Rebecca Adams

Gene Fowler
We're beginning with a blank sheet of paper.
Bob Barrett
It will continue to run how it has in the past, the kids will stay the same and draft day will stay the same. All we are doing is helping with the managerial paper work.

On paper, we have a pretty good pitching staff.
Aaron Nieckula
Ideas? My head is full of them, one after the other, but they serve no purpose there. They must be put down on paper, one after the other.

Robbie Vitrano
It really shows on paper what I've always known. This team has a lot of heart.
Greg Murley

One mother said that at 8 p.m. in her kitchen, she watched her son have a spirited exchange (online) with his classmates over the content of their homework -- those things just can't happen with paper and pencil.
Calvin Baker
As a coach you try to be creative, but when you see something from a coach, a legend, you take a napkin, or a piece of paper and you write something down and keep it.
Larry Finucane
The coupon on the ruble paper is fairly low relative to most expectations and certainly the maturity on the dollar paper and the very low coupon does not add up to a very attractive package.
Sonja Gibbs
We have all the rights in the constitution but in absence of fair politics, this all will be nothing but paper.
Dr Kamal Hossain

Keith Kolfage
The only problem with this is, everyone is going to read the paper (today), so don't make us any kind of headlines.
Ted Farhat
This is an idea that needs to be validated. It was never designed to be rolled out in final fashion. It's like a concept paper. It's not a finished product, just an idea. We didn't solicit buy-in because it was just an idea.
Susie Wiles
There are two main problems with the paper. It is not possible to build a European market while leaving competition control on the national level.
Claude Turmes
My grandmother used to say to sneak up behind someone with a paper bag and pop it.
Debbie Sullivan

Nathan Deakes
They'll have to make sure that it's fair, that there's proper auditing (of where money goes). There has to be a paper trail, things like that.
Scott Larrivee
Merrill is certainly one of the most attractive of the brokerage firms in the industry and it would be a nice set with Chase on paper in terms of product line. Merrill is at the top of the rumor list relative to Chase.
