We have to keep improving and get ready for the playoffs. We are getting our confidence levels up there and we could surprise some people come playoffs.

Ken Goslant

It leads to an obvious change to suggest to people. You don't want to have your bird on the edge of a kitchen island or something where someone can come in and surprise him.

Joseph Garner

I don't think it is any surprise to anybody because everyone who has talked to me since I resigned said they understand that there is a pervasive negative attitude in the county, ... There is a lot of criticism. The focus seems to be on criticizing county government as opposed to, at least sometimes, looking at the good things that are going on.

Gary Adams

They probably surprised a little bit on the profitability of the Nine Network, which was a good surprise. Their revenue on TV was down and EBITDA was down 13.1 percent but I think a lot of people thought it would be down more than that.

Craig Shepherd

It?s a great surprise to me -- a good surprise, ... In China I know they have an appetite to do classical music, but the standard was low until five years ago. Now, boom, something happened, because all the good people are young, like 17, 18 or 19. They were not around five years ago.

Seiji Ozawa

Somewhat of a surprise, but not a total surprise.

Frank Dunham

Every one of these books is going to have one really big surprise in it to make people say, 'I didn't realize that,'.

Thomas Cahill

We had to take a big knife off one guy who we rescued. That's not anything that should be a surprise after what these people have been through.

Bob Mcdowell

The deal would surprise no one, and the proposed price, at $77 per share, would be neutral to slightly accretive to earnings, by our calculations.

Carl Mcdonald

Niigata Engineering's news was a surprise.

Tokio Furuta

McAfee hasn't put any pressure on them. It would surprise me to see anyone bullying them, because sharing code is all about trust and mutual consent.

Greg Day

They were the state champs last year -- not this year. We knew it would be a good game. They came in here hoping to surprise us, but both teams played exceptionally well and, fortunately, we came away with a win.

Randy Brown

They have a great program here. That's why tonight's a surprise to me. I really thought it would be a close game... It's a pleasure to come down here because it's first class in every manner.

Rod Delmonico

He was a regular donor to the annual fund, at a nice level but not a major gift level. It's a fantastic surprise to get.

Tom Gutenberger

Everyone who's been to a Ringling Bros. event and thinks they've seen it all before are in for an amazing surprise.

Lara Toscani

Quick guards have bothered us all year, so it was no surprise that it bothered us tonight.

Mike Pericci

Look, I understand it's a good news story, but this has been one massive smear job from A to Z and it will have a surprise ending, a complete vindication of the defendants and an exposure of their persecutors.

Conrad Black

Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.

Blaine Lee

It was a surprise. The customers come from every social and professional category.

Pascal Pozzoli

The bigger surprise for the market would certainly be no change. That would likely raise questions about a delay in eventual rate rises and lead people to dump the yen.

Katsunori Kitakura

He really studies hitters, probably more than most closers. I viewed him as a setup man, because he hadn't closed in a while. But in the spring I saw him, and I didn't realize the stuff he had and how he managed it. (This season) doesn't surprise me, because it was that good.

Mark Wiley

I turned on an inside pitch and it was kind of a surprise to me because I wasn't expecting it.

Ashley Haynes

There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved. It is the finger of God on a man's shoulder.

Margaret Kennedy

Apprehension, uncertainty, waiting, expectation, fear of surprise, do a patient more harm than any exertion.

Florence Nightingale

With those companies growing revenues faster than Oracle, it is no surprise to us that Oracle's stock finally came under pressure.

Kevin Buttigieg

[Sept. 12, 2005 issue - It wasn't exactly a surprise.] This ain't gonna last, ... The water's coming into the city.

Oliver Thomas

He's a kid that's really going to surprise by April. He's really going to move up.

Frank Coyle

It didn't surprise me. I thought I shot pretty well in practice. I have a lot of confidence in my shot and I wasn't even thinking about my eye.

Allan Ray

Their whole by-election plan is in tatters, which is no surprise because everything Mr McConnell puts his fingers on usually collapses or turns to dust.

Alex Salmond

I really like all the neutral colors and natural materials designers are using, especially the linens and burlap. White has been such a big story this season and gray is, as well. After a fall season with so much black in it, it's really no surprise that in the new spring season gray is the new black.

Glenda Bailey

She just had an outstanding conformation. It's nice to be able to buy into such a great pedigree. We were expecting to spend a lot, but $2.7-million sort of caught us by surprise. You want to do the right thing, though. Maybe she'll make that look like a bargain.

Beverly Lewis

At this point it's no surprise - he's been doing it all week. It gave us an emotional lift. Some guys were down. They were hitting tough shots and getting a lot of calls. For him to hit that shot in that situation we were in, that was key for us.

Terrence Roberts

I'm going to get back in there soon. It's going to be a surprise. They'll probably boo me again.

Pacman Jones

New developers really have to do something special to get people to see what they're doing. It doesn't surprise me at all.

Michael Reed

The fact credit rating agencies haven't changed their ratings is no surprise. I wouldn't have expected them to right away and it will take some time, but it now is more logical that credit ratings should go up rather than down.

George Magliano

We're going to come out and surprise a lot of people. We're a young team, but we never give up.

Meredith Patton

My heart kinda skipped, and it took me by surprise.

Melissa Lopez

Bill Ford has been preaching the value of environmentalism for a long time. It was no surprise that he would extend his commitment in building the stadium. His company, after all, introduced the first hybrid SUV, and Ford is the only company that has been actively involved in all four of the major alternate fuel technologies for years -- hydrogen, flex-fuel, diesel and hybrids.

Andy Acho

It's not so bad if you've kind of predicted that that's how they're going to behave in certain situations, than if it hits you by surprise.

Andrew Sharp

The expectation for an inventory build is built in across all the product areas with an outside risk of a surprise on heating oil.

Craig Pennington

There was never a point that I was thinking I wouldn't be part of the next wave (of pitchers) over there (in Atlanta). The trade was something that was a surprise.

Matt Belisle

This was a very odd that that happened. There was no process involved. It was just out of the blue. It came as a total surprise.

Christopher Russell

Voters are saying that they want someone capable of operating a government, someone who is steady at the helm. And considering the challenge to the city right now, I don't think that's a fact that should surprise anyone.

Brian Brox

It's a huge increase and unfortunately it's not a surprise. It's all tied to the cost of health insurance. It's either employers dropping coverage, which we haven't seen much of, or employers raising the cost of coverage to workers, so they can no longer afford it.

John Mcdonough

This caught everybody, including executives at both networks, by surprise.

John Mann

Last year was pretty much a surprise for him. It just gave him that little bit of taste.

Donny Peek

I was ready. I knew that guy was running. You can never get caught by surprise. I'm glad everything came out fine.

Henry Blanco

I think Matt Lawton is going to surprise everyone. He's coming in there with something to prove.

Torii Hunter

Classes were always a bore to me. I wanted to learn things on my own, not by presentations.I was a loudmouth and a clown. It came as a surprise to me, later, that I could be serious and still get attention.

Nicolas Cage

It's always a nice surprise to see our kids win. I know how much time and how seriously they take the competition. I'm not shocked. I'm proud of the kids. It's super to have our kids place in so many areas.

Mike Andrews

The Fusion, Milan and Zephyr continue to surprise us on the upside. These new, fuel-efficient cars are helping our dealers to retain owners and capture new ones. We never have been in a better position to compete for customers in an environment of rising gasoline prices.

Al Giombetti

The Tu-4 was a big surprise.

Von Hardesty

It was a little bit of a surprise but I am glad I got in there. I don't like sitting on the bench. I was happy to jump back in because I did not have the greatest game the other night (against Switzerland).

Justin Pogge

We've had a pull-back in gold and oil prices, and surprise surprise, oil and gold companies are off, that's the Canadian market.

Julie Brough

Three or four years ago, [e-mail marketing] was quick, easy and cheap. Now, it requires a lot more sophistication, knowledge, and dedication ... CAN-SPAM took a lot of practitioners by surprise ... some large companies actually put their e-mail projects on hold.

Loren Mcdonald

We think that in general terms New Yorkers are adapting, which is not a surprise to us but it's always a good thing to see. New Yorkers do what they have to do to get on with their life and that has definitely been evident this morning in the commute.

Jarrod Bernstein

The increase in U.S. exports came as a surprise and it's good news. Export demand for U.S. cotton is very good and encouraging to the market. The U.S. exports are to go to China as seen in their increase in imports.

John Flanagan

She's healthy to pitch now. I have four girls that can pitch, and the other three stood up and did the job for us. It was a pleasant surprise, but this is a special group of girls, and they really play well as team.

David Gregson

It was a surprise when I found out I had won the award. There are a lot of great athletic directors in the state, and they do an outstanding job at what they do. ... Just to be in the light with (former winners) is really fantastic. I'm really honored.

Jim Dickerson

Doesn't surprise me — he's the man. We just walked way too many guys, and didn't get away with it.

Horacio Ramirez

There is an incredibly robust telecommunications infrastructure that was initiated due to the Strategic Air Command being positioned here, just south of Omaha. There are a number of national companies with their headquarters here, which would surprise many folks.

Dan Connolly

We are working really hard. I'm impressed with our young guys stepping up. We are going to surprise some people in the fall.

Sabby Piscitelli

Given the current environment, when you've got so many companies doing poorly, to see one come out with this kind of upside surprise really speaks to the traction their strategy has.

Jeffrey Fieler

It's not a surprise that the government wants this to be secret, but it's extraordinary for a court to go along.

Chris Dunn

The biggest surprise was the prevalence of drowsiness during daylight hours.

Tom Dingus

When I look at it there are eight to 10 teams that could win this and it wouldn't be a surprise. I think this is a lot like the year Provo won the boys title (2004) when they came in as the fourth seed and won it. I think that could happen this year.

Keith Flood

It was weaker than expected, but it wasn't a dramatic surprise. It was already pretty clear that sentiment came off in January.

Jim O'sullivan

I'd say the potential to surprise an owner is always there. They will kill children.

Martin Mersereau

It was an enormous surprise when they called me last Wednesday.

Marin Alsop

We have plenty of talent and I think we are going to be a big surprise just like last year.

Jacob Jarrell

I said we might surprise some people.

Dick Regan

We knew he shot well, he was no surprise to us.

Doug Hanzie

That was a nice surprise. I didn't think we could score over 100.

Rich Refi

They don't catch everything but it is a surprise. They reset the clock, it slipped and it happened to be for a lot of time. What are you going to do? It's like the coin toss in Detroit on Thanksgiving, what are you going to do?

Alan Faneca

She's been a real surprise. We weren't sure before the season started if she'd play JV or varsity. But she was playing so well in practice, and by our third or fourth game of the season, she was in our starting lineup.

Darleta Mayhue

The younger kids still have to prove themselves - but again we're hoping to surprise some teams and equal or better last year's record.

Brenda Clark

The post-Fed performance of the S&P 500 could prove to be the biggest surprise of 2006.

Francois Trahan

I think it will be big surprise.

Marco Balich

Be honest with each other. Don't wait until after the marriage to surprise the other partner with a mountain of debt.

Sam Goller

Just around here, we all knew what kind of talent we had. We all knew we could play with anybody in this league. We knew we could win games. This is not a surprise to us, but I'm sure it's a surprise to a lot of people.

Dj Shockley

Does it surprise me? Not really. He's got multi-dimensional talent. With that performance, Paul really made a statement that he'll help the team as much as he can during a playoff run.

Mike Sirant

The obvious explanation is it's kind of a surprise thing, the sudden sort of visual arrival of human beings, and this was something we didn't expect at all.

Joseph Garner

We knew we came out flat. We knew what we were doing wrong. It was a surprise to us.

Spencer Hawes

The whole episode comes as a major surprise to the incoming administration. It's another example of why we need an open administration.

Dick Skrinjar

It (Surprise Center) has not reached my expectations yet. My expectations were that we would be surrounded by nice shops, where people could walk, and there would be tree-lined avenues. I think it's coming, but it's just slower than I would like it.

Mayor Joan Shafer

It's sort of a big surprise to see such hot materials so far out in the solar system.

Thomas Morgan

There will be an upside surprise in inflation, and we still think the Fed has still got some work to do. There's room for yields to rise.

Anthony O'brien

Clearly caught the industry by surprise.

David Leibowitz

I doubt whether the world holds for any one a more soul-stirring surprise than the first adventure with ice cream.

Heywood C. Broun

My location wasn't tremendous, but it was pretty good. I had pretty good command of my breaking ball, which is a surprise. I'm definitely happy with the way my body feels after that session.

Mike Hampton

They're regular, conservative, laid-back kind of people like myself, who'd probably be intimidated by an experience like this. I think it's a great thing, but a big surprise.

Kevin Carroll

UPS, its employees and retirees continue to raise the bar each year with their extensive engagement in communities around the country. Their generosity and commitment to making a difference starts at the local level. With this kind of dedication and participation, it is no surprise they are ranked #1 by Fortune magazine for social responsibility.

Brian Gallagher

That doesn't surprise me. These are businesses catering to the new ethnic enclaves.

Harry Pachon

They've been a real surprise. They've never played before and they actually won. They're so enthusiastic and practice so hard.

Chris Cole

That's the only one that took me by surprise. We all expected him to be there. He's a regular in Cincinnati. He's not competing for a job. But you can't say anything. This is voluntary. A guy has a right to say no. But he would have been good to have on the team.

Jose Oquendo

The company beat our revenue expectation by $33 million, which is a huge upside surprise. All the financial metrics were extremely solid. Their balance sheet was spotless, and deferred revenue rose to $84.6 million from $46.7 million in the previous quarter, which shows that their backlog continues to strengthen.

Brent Thill

The full results are not a surprise. But it is a big achievement that the return of 25 percent has been reached. These are positive figures.

Konrad Becker

Nothing we can do will surprise them. There's nothing they can do that will surprise us. Lancaster has seen all kinds of teams. We're not any kind of team they haven't seen. They played a bunch of difficult teams and played a tough schedule. They've seen it all from bad to good.

Greg Waits

It's been a surprise to me to see how well these kids are doing. When you put together a team, you just don't know. But these guys are coming along real well. We haven't been beaten yet this year.

Brian Kuhlmann

We made some bad plays and they deserve to win. We knew they were that physical. That wasn't a surprise.

Tim Joyce

He's a playmaker, ... He makes plays in practice so it is no surprise that he did it in the game.

James Pinkney

The yearly rise was a surprise. At the beginning of the year most strategist were talking about returns of 21 or 25 percent.

Rogelio Gallegos

It does not surprise me that the new secretary would take a look at that situation. What does surprise me is that there would be further sanctions after the State Attorney's Office in Tallahassee said they were not convinced that criminal activity had occurred, but I am not privy to everything the new secretary knows.

Gloria Fletcher

These are pretty natural questions and issues, ... It's a very dynamic area with a lot of things that can change. Some of the things you can predict and others will catch us by surprise, but at the end of the day, the last man standing — for sure — will be the carrier and the big content companies. Which ones of the aggregators that will be standing will be harder to predict.

Michael Gallelli

There's no surprise that the independent directors will recommend the proposal. I think the (reincorporation) will be approved.

Scott Marshall

[A: At this point, it is another chapter of bad news on top of other bad news.] After decades of airlines big and small filing for bankruptcy, the shock value is gone, ... This doesn't come as a surprise anymore.

Anthony Sabino

This is a confidence-boosting measure and comes as a pleasant surprise. We had expected the issue to be covered in the recent federal budget.

Bidisha Ganguly

The 3-point shooting didn't surprise us. We knew that was their strength last year and this year. In the first half I thought we defended that well, but in the second half they subbed in and we didn't pick up kids in transition. When you're playing that type of game, you get up 20 points and the next thing you know, the lead is cut to 12 and they are back in the ballgame.

Dave Butcher

While some have expressed surprise and indignation at being mobilized for this war, most have not, ... They have understood it to be inherent in their volunteer contract for service.

Peter Schoomaker

I feel fortunate to win this game, Belgrade has got a pretty good team. I know they haven't won, but they are going to surprise some people. I think they are a team that is going to go on a run real soon.

Mike Cole

The girls just wanted to qualify, and they ended up winning. It was a wonderful surprise.

Rebecca Behm

The Dow has significantly outperformed the Nasdaq over the last six weeks, as well as the last few sessions, so a little pullback today (Tuesday) is no surprise.

Brian Belski

I am hopeful that this team will be able to surprise some people this season.

Brandon Shaw

That was a bit of a surprise because against West Coast [the week before] he did a bit of damage as well.

Barry Hall

I think it's kind of expected with our lack of experienced pitchers. It's not really a surprise to me. But I think it's kind of nice because it gives us opportunities to move up. Where you are at the beginning of the season doesn't really matter - it's where you are at the end.

Joanne Graf

The timing of this is a surprise more than the fact that the change occurred. I sensed that something was going on, but I didn't know what.

Lee Huenecke

It was a big surprise to us when we found out we were being selected. We did not know there was a selection process even going on.

Judy Jones

The directors felt like they should get feedback from residents before making a commitment to contribute. I don't think we anticipated getting this sort of response. It was a pleasant surprise.

Jim Stinson

There's no shock, there's no surprise, but it's just an unfortunate day.

Rob Mackowiak

There are, to our surprise, thousands of people still in the city that we're trying to identify and locate. We're trying to convince them there's nothing for them here — no food, no jobs, nothing to let them live the way they're used to.

Warren Riley

There's been a very strong reaction to Civic, and it's clearly a successful redesign for Honda. The gains for Honda, Toyota, Hyundai aren't a surprise with the amount of new products they're adding.

Wes Brown

The report was a big surprise. Crude oil seems very ample.

Dariusz Kowalczyk

Nobody really knows who they are, so that could be a little bit of a positive. It'll be a little bit of a surprise.

Frankie Hejduk

Our team is so green that there are not a lot of expectations and the kids are a little nervous, but they're ready to go. It's a real young team, but they're capable and they have the ability to surprise the heck out of me, so that's exciting.

Dakota Tefertiller

The positive surprise is insurance in Europe, which has performed quite well, including in the Netherlands.

Carlo Ponfoort

I don't know what it was. I think we just kind of took them by surprise and our defense was real good early.

Terri Schumacher

It's a surprise reversal today after the labor number this morning. The resignation of O'Neill was certainly a positive for the market. That was clearly the catalyst. The market was also getting a little oversold. And you have some good participation from tech.

Matt Ruane

It was, definitely [a shock], ... It was a big surprise to me. I wasn't expecting it. But anything can happen in our business. I put everything behind me now. I'm looking forward to the new challenge, new city. I can't wait to step on the ice in Atlanta.

Marian Hossa

The commissioners are responsible for public-school buildings, and they are a part of approving those plans. As long as they are aware that if they approve that, it's going to mean more students, and when we go to ask for more money it's not a surprise.

Brandon Martin

You should have heard the stutter of surprise when they announced we were from Nora Springs, Iowa. We're a well kept secret.

Brenda Wendt

The dollar is drifting downwards. There is an inclination to sell dollars -- the current account deficit is the underlying concern. We need to see a big upward surprise in U.S. data to change the sentiment.

Daragh Maher

The big surprise for me is that age is just a number, ... It's a number without meaning. A person who dies at 40 -- through cancer, a car accident, what have you -- how old is that person, really, at 38? He's near the end of his life, whether he knows it or not. And what about a person who dies at 100? How old is that person, really, at 78?

Hugh Hefner

The big surprise has been that the inevitable hit to the U.S. economy from the hurricane hasn't hit the market yet -- this market doesn't want to lie down.

Hilary Cook

I would think (such questions) would cross anybody's mind. I'd be very surprise if it didn't.

Bill Blomquist

It doesn't surprise me. Again, I'm not saying it doesn't surprise me because it is Tennessee. I am just not convinced that that sort of special treatment -- changing of grades, making sure kids are eligible as opposed to really educating them -- isn't going on at a lot more places than Tennessee. I don't think Tennessee is unique in that regard.

John Gerdy

It's not a good time to hold 10-year Treasuries. The economy is holding together well. It would not surprise me if we get a hike in every meeting up to January.

Michael Thomas

The decision was very much a surprise. The department was told we were not supposed to be on the agenda.

George Watt

That's been the biggest surprise to me. We're a wholesaler of Internet telephony, and our initial assumption was that the first customers would be ISPs looking to extend their traditional business to include voice. But it's been the traditional resellers selling prepaid calling cards that have moved quickly.

Tom Evslin

I was well warned about English food, so it did not surprise me, but I do wonder sometimes, how they ever manage to prise it up long enough to get a plate under it.

Margaret Halsey

Today was an absolute surprise, offensively. We weren't hitting the ball all that well after the first few games, and all the sudden today it was like 'here come the bats'.

Don Ellenburger

We think we're a top-10 team so we're shooting to be in and around there, and we think there [are] some teams ahead of us that we can surprise.

Fran Crippen

If we get there really quickly, it will back off, because the traders have been caught by surprise. The have been shorting the market, because technically it should be going down, so it will back off rather quickly. If it takes longer to get up there, then, I think, it will hold.

Dodge Dorland

I really enjoyed all of the unexpected special guests. I didn't know before hand which celebrities were going to be there, so it was all a surprise to me.

Laura Stankiewicz

All the indications of domestic demand continue to surprise on the upside.

Paul Sheard

That wasn't a surprise. Those two Russian girls are very good players.

Lin Loring

There was a little bit of surprise. But Sweden has played very well and they're a great hockey club and things happen in tournaments like this.

Jennifer Botterill

Everybody keeps telling me how surprised they are with what I've done. But I'm telling you honestly that it doesn't surprise me. I knew I could do it.

Patrick Ewing

That wasn't really a surprise. They had a good cast and it's a good, fun format. It's worked pretty much everywhere because it's so different.

Brad Lyons

We had a good game and they had a bad day. This game was totally a surprise. I was expecting an overtime game.

Dean Waters

See, the SAG awards caught me totally by surprise.

Patricia Clarkson

It was a surprise. CRM is a mature industry; the people in it are pragmatic, so there shouldn't be a lot of surprises.

William Band

It's definitely an awesome surprise.

Whitney Myers

'Desperate Housewives' was a surprise hit, ... If it holds up, if it's successful this year, certainly I think next year you'll see something else come on that tries to take advantage of it.

Steve Sternberg

Four years ago was a surprise to everybody, and it was because we Democrats ran two candidates who hated each other, wouldn't campaign together, and the non-incumbent failed to do the work necessary to win. I regard it as a fluke.

Waldo Jaquith

It is a very big surprise, but like Maxim says it is just the compulsory dance. We will have to wait until the end of the competition.

Albena Denkova

It's still alive. It was quite a surprise. I wasn't expecting it so early.

Lars Hanson

That may not surprise people who think it might contain genuine breaking news about Michael Jackson.

Carole Theriault

We kind of didn't really need the surprise in between promoting the record and doing all of that.

Tina Arena

We didn't surprise anybody out there. That's for sure.

John Shuster

When Reynolds played the part, he was a sex god, ... He was the best-looking man on the planet and the world's biggest star. That's intimidating, but Adam grabbed that and really made the role his own. He's as funny as ever, but he also shows a gritty side to himself. He's going to surprise a lot of people.

Peter Segal

[Turkey seized on the German result to call on its opponents in Europe to] reconsider ... It was an auspicious result for the EU process. It was a campaign which proved how negative it was to offer 'privileged partnership' to Turkey. This surprise result ... should lead politicians to rethink their policies.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

The staff is not leaning toward a rail technology recommendation at this point. That may be a surprise to some people.

Jacob Snow

The rubber band was stretched tight and this thing was set up like a slingshot. It doesn't surprise me it snapped back. It surprises me it went down in a straight line for so long.

Jeff Saut

We were really concerned about our divers that left with four years' experience under their belts. But the freshman class has been a surprise.

Marilyn Fitzgerald

Rich men's houses are seldom beautiful, rarely comfortable, and never original. It is a constant source of surprise to people of moderate means to observe how little a big fortune contributes to Beauty.

Margot Asquith

A nice blend of prediction and surprise seem to be at the heart of the best art.

Wendy Carlos

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if she did.

Dede Miller

That was the major surprise of the study, ... These subsets of women have a pretty dramatic benefit from digital mammography.

Phil Evans

The agency's role in the development of the communications satellite in the late 50s and early 60s led to today's burgeoning telecommunications industry. It would come as no surprise if entrepreneurs and innovators from the private sector successfully build on what we've pioneered in human space exploration. We wish them well.

William Readdy

It wouldn't surprise me if there are more in the future.

Cleveland Kent Evans

This perhaps won't come as a surprise to teachers; they say 'We do feel boys are less socially aware'. But this is the first evidence that there is a substantial difference in the ability to read emotions.

David Skuse

The composure he showed, it wasn't really a huge surprise, but it was a surprise because we had never seen him in that situation. What he showed definitely impressed us.

Trent Bray

I think it's going to come as a big surprise to a lot of people.

Joel Prunty

It's great for the playoffs to get on a roll and surprise some teams.

Brandon Syrja

Today's Fed surprise rate cut is pure space-shuttle fuel for the market.

Pierre Lapointe

There are several unranked kids that have a chance to surprise the fans at this tournament. Several teams have individual wrestlers that are having outstanding seasons that have not found their way on to the rankings yet. It should make for a great tournament.

Tom Ellison

I think we have some juniors who could surprise people. If we can get someone different to step up every day, we should be able to stay in games.

Pete Granger

It really came as no surprise. I think everyone wants to make sure to do their share.

Bob Amber

The Hotel Sheraton Maria Isabel expresses its great surprise in response to this action. At this moment our lawyers are evaluating the legal, administrative and business implications of this measure.

Laura Canepa

(A setback) could be a surprise on the conversion charge -- that's the largest issue tomorrow.

Selwyn Jones

I think we're going to steal some games. There's not much expectation for us outside the district. But I think we're going to squeak quite a few out. I think we'll surprise some people.

Dan Nobbs

This was a bit of a surprise. But it was a relatively good surprise. Carl is well respected -- not only myself but from what I can tell from investors as well.

Mark Schappel

Lauren definitely has the skills. I saw her shooting the ball the other day, and she can still shoot it. I think next year, she's going to surprise some people because you're talking about a kid who works so hard. She brings up her confidence, she'll be fine.

Anthony Smith

The longer you go on without it, the greater the chance of some nasty surprise lurking in there that we're missing.

Anirvan Banerji

If there was a surprise (in the GDP report), it was that the deflator and core PCE were revised up a bit. So, slightly slower growth than expected, although it's still a relatively robust 4.1 percent.

David Durrant

I would have to say the chief of staff's figure does surprise me. It's an awful lot for someone who worked in a position for 4-1/2 years.

Councilor Dennis Eaniri

That was a real surprise. But even though they scored, I don't think it shifted the momentum.

Bob Bauman

The renewal was a little bit of a surprise. It's definitely a positive for Yahoo!.

Martin Pyykkonen

It does surprise me a little bit that we're undefeated against some very good teams.

Ivan Thomas

The news took me by surprise. It was great to be chosen as the best from a handful of Arizona filmmakers.

Scott Stine

He was a very personally attractive, excited, and thoughtful guy who cared about a wide range of science. When I first heard there was a question about his work, it came as a very great surprise to me.

David Baltimore

It doesn't surprise us, because we know we've been working. If you've been putting the work in and doing the extra stuff, the results should be positive.

Sean Singletary

It was quite a surprise. They are ecstatic. The girls were screaming, laughing and crying. There were 53 teams in our division and it took a lot of hard work to win.

Denise Neel

It was a pleasant surprise. I like it.

Rick Reynolds

I figured maybe it was some sort of a surprise celebration for our new Teacher of the Year.

Amanda Allen

He's made the biggest jump. He is night and day compared to what he was in the spring. He's the biggest surprise out of the whole crew of receivers.

Shawn Watson

That's not really a surprise. I guess he surprises everybody else, but I think he's really good.

Scott Goodale

It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics.

Denise Caruso

The Auburn event isn't designed to surprise anyone. Instead, we're attempting to stress the emergency responding system for practice and to learn.

Anita Yoder

If you use the original World Wide Web program, you never see a URL or have to deal with HTML. That was a surprise to me - that people were prepared to painstakingly write HTML.
