When it comes down to it, for Mexico, the FTAA means being able to go forward toward development, in the fight against poverty, in job creation and economic growth,

When I was a college coach, my dream was to play against Coach Smith in the finals of the NCAA. I always felt it would be a win-win, and I could probably say the same thing for (playing against) Pop.

You don't like to do that, because you like to set your finals on the basis of qualifying so your eight fastest kids will be running head-to-head (instead of strictly against the clock), but coaches understand that some things just have to be done.

You don't like playing against your friends because someone's going to wind up (losing),

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." ()

We're missing two of our main horses, and our young guys can keep their heads up by their performance (Friday night), competing against a playoff-hungry team.

We remember what they did to us last season. It's the season opener against a division opponent that knocked us out of the playoffs, and with what has happened to New Orleans recently, you know they are going to come in here ready to play. We shouldn't have any problem getting up for them.

We remain with our zero tolerance policy, so that the fight against doping remains the very first priority of the International Olympic Committee.

We remain hopeful that when the attorney general's office has completed its review of the charges against him, it will elect to dismiss this case rather than seek an indictment.

We remain doubtful that the Fed is indeed 'done,' which has become the overwhelming consensus. We believe they will be more vigilant against inflation.

We're starting to gain an identity and a lot of confidence. The game (Sunday) against Ottawa has really moved our game up a notch... You can hear things on the bench, the bantering between players, which is excellent. You can hear the locker room has a lot more life. Our team is starting to gel.

You can hear things on the bench, the bantering between players, which is excellent. You can hear the locker room has a lot more life. Our team is starting to gel.

We're starting a stretch of games against the kind of teams we would play deeper in the tournament. This is a difficult stretch of games coming up and it will help us down the road.

We're starting a freshman and four sophomores, and we can't make three big errors in one inning against a team as explosive as Gloucester.

We responded. We played hard for Brad. It was a good team win against a very good team. We can build on this.

We respect them, they know what they're doing and if we play like we did against the Dragons we'll lose. If we play anything like we know we're capable of we'll win - that's the simplicity of it sometimes.

We respect the advantage it will be for them. We're not going in thinking it's just another game at a neutral site. We know we're up against it here. And we have a respect for the challenge. But we understand it can be done. We've done it.

We respectfully disagree with the court's decision. We do not feel we ever intentionally discriminated against this individual. Wheelchair lifts -- even the kinds on low-floor buses -- they are mechanical devices, and they do sometimes fail.

We respect and appreciate the bipartisan agreement established by this Senate, ... We intend to use the time we have been provided to present a compelling case on the serious charges pending against the President.

We're so uptight half the darn time. And you can't blame us. We're playing at a level where we had three big games against three great teams and we needed to play hard. We played hard; we didn't make shots. The shots will come. We can't stress here and think we're not going to make any more shots for the rest of our lives.

We're sort of playing a hunch as much as anything. He's played New Jersey well, and our last good game of hockey was here against them with Kevin in goal, so I don't think that is unreasonable at all.

We're going to try and steal two or three games from some of the teams that we lost to in the first half. And hold serve against teams we did beat, which should put us in that top four. And that's a good place to be.

We're going to scour through this document word for word, and we're going to check it against declarations we've received in the past,

We're going to need to get some shots to fall if we want to win against Big Timber. The girls showed the intensity we need in the fourth quarter today, but we need that all the time.

We're going to need them to play with the same kind of fire and emotion against Carrollton that they did in the fourth quarter against Elbert. They have been leaders all year. This senior class has shown a lot of leadership all year and we're going to need it.

We're going to go in there just as hard as we have been against Toledo. These next few games are so crucial.

We're going to go as far as our pitching takes us. Our offense is going to match up against anybody ...

We?re going to give away some size up front and that could hurt us a little bit against the more physical team in the league like Wilkes and Lycoming. The question is will we be able to put enough pressure on the quarterback. That?s going to be our toughest problem.

We're going to fight it tooth and nail, ... We hope the whole community will come out and rally against it.

We're going to do what we think is best. What we did against Oakland may or may not be what we think is best against Carolina. Last year we played Indianapolis in one type of a defense. We played Pittsburgh in another type of a defense. We played Philadelphia in another type of a defense. We're going to do what we think we need to do to try to match up and stop the opponents. I'm not making any promises to anything or anybody about what we're going to do.

What we're seeing right now is the market take a bit of a breather. One thing we've seen in the past two days is yen weakness against the crosses and that probably has to do with the fact that the yen sell-off in the past week or so has been the sharper move.

What we're seeing here is a vaccine which does induce an immune response which we think would protect against bird flu. That's a very big step forward.

What this goes to show you is that in our league, coming in with a team that was 1-4 against a team that was perceived as being a top team, we were basically manhandled today.

What this case highlights is the need for organizations with strong brand reputations to protect and become more vigilant against this sort of malicious activity.

What they're up against is the different laws of two different countries.

What they're going to try to do is do what they did during the season, try to get more off open-floor, transition-type opportunities, and try to attack that way and not have to go against our half-court defense as much. That will probably be their biggest adjustment.

What they might lack in skills they make up for in heart. They each keep on coming back against tough opponents and want to learn to get better. Both Sean and Brady have great stamina and are beginning to bob and weave and counter punch much better. Sometimes you can take a kid like Brady who has natural talent and move him up to take on fighters with a little more experience.

What they have represented makes a win against them very special. We have tremendous respect for them. We also know that one win doesn't make a statement. You have to do things over time. Santa Barbara's the team that's done it over time.

When we came back from down seven (points) late against Fort Myers, I knew these guys had something special in them.

When we fell down I knew it was going to take a lot of energy for us to comeback against a great team like that. We came up a little short in the fourth quarter and that's what I feared.

When we drafted him, people said he was probably the most ready for the NHL. But that to me was a bonus. It wasn't something we factored into when we decided to pick him. But he obviously played against men last year and played in the World Championships for the Czech team, and the thing that impressed me when he came in this summer is that he tested like a man in his physical testing. It transfers over to his game on the ice. He's a very mature player.

When we coach against another team, we're trying to make it as hard as we can on them to beat us. On this committee, we're trying to (make it) as hard as we can for them not to give us (the No. 1 seed). They may not, but we made it very difficult for them by winning the game.

When we have to play well we do. When we play against someone lesser, we're still looking for that consistency. We struggle with that a little bit.

When we have these camps, one thing we're trying to do is give people opportunities. We want to test these kids against some high-level, borderline NBA players. It's a tough scenario.

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

When we got a franchise, the odds were pretty stacked against us, ... And now for this team to be playing in the greatest sporting event in America, it's pretty spectacular.

When we go out and don't make errors, we have a solid shot of winning against anyone.

When we go on the road, it's just us against the whole city.

When we get the opportunity to compete against each other, there's something special in that.

When we get pushed against the wall, we seem to pull together.

When we get a top side we are pretty good and we will have a chance to measure ourselves in the next six months when we play against sides such as Australia. Potentially we remain a very good side.

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

What all of us in the FBI - it's not just me - all of us in the FBI are concerned about is protecting American people against another attack.

We wrestled really tough against Salem, they?re a really good opponent, strong team and they?re deep. We showed against them that our reputation is legitimate; that we?re a tough team and that we?re solid up and down the lineup.

We wrestled pretty well against them. We had to forfeit one weight and won five matches. They are a perennial top five, top eight team in the state and they are very good this year.

We wrestled only five times against Grosse Ile. Grosse Pointe South had only six wrestlers.

We wrestled hard with a similar intensity level as Saturday at sectionals. This has been a focus of ours all season, to win and make it to the state duals. We were hoping for a better draw. Louisiana-Muscatine was a team we faced in 2004 and, of any team we wrestled, they scored the most points against us.

We wrestled a terrific dual as a team against Purdue, which is what we have been looking for all season. Everyone wrestled hard and we had some guys step up big at a few weight classes. Darren's match was really the marquee one of the dual, that is as good of a college match as I have seen in a while.

We wrestled against two pretty solid teams tonight. Perry was tough. They had some good kids.

We would still oppose the price cap law. I can't imagine that tinkering with it will affect the underlying consensus by experts against this.

We would recommend against that based on the fact that it's in the direct flight path of military aircraft.

We would rather have John on the team than play against him, but we'll help him any way we can, ... We are just really thankful that he stayed and played for Baylor for two years.

We would put our product up against anybody's. We're not afraid of anyone.

What he's done for the game of college football is unbelievable, ... It is an honor and privilege to coach against him.

What helped us a lot was being patient at the plate in that one inning. Against a great pitcher you have to do what you have to do for your team. Take a walk, a hit batter; anyway we can get a runner on.

What he did today with the wind blowing out here and against that lineup, that's pretty incredible. He keeps everybody off balance and it seems like we play really well behind him.

What happens when you play both is that it makes opponents dilute their prep time, ... Before, they knew they'd be going up against a 4-3 or a 3-4 exclusively. Now they have to prepare to play against both.

We found it very hard to get going after the week off for internationals. We'll need to do better than that against Lyon.

We had 10 errors and only gave up three earned runs. It was pretty bad. We didn't show up -- period. But I know the kids would bounce back and they did against Amity. They we were tentative and it was a different demeanor (Wednesday).

We grew up together so it was nice to lead our countries against one another,

We grew up together, and I have a picture of him and I at the Junior Worlds. He won, and I think I finished fourth or fifth. Then we played against each other when he went to (Louisiana State University) and I went to (Arizona State University). I've known David just about my whole life. He's playing great, and I'm excited about playing with him tomorrow.

We grew into the game and got as strong as the U.S.. We have to thank the U.S. and Canada for the possibility of playing against them. Sweden is now part of the league of the top women's teams.

We go up against club players, but we never quit.

We got whipped. They're better than us. When you play against a team that has 15 kids over 200 pounds and you only have three, it's hard to play them.

We got up double digits against them, and I bet going through everybody's mind was what happened Thursday when they went on a run. I didn't want that to happen. Defensively, I took the challenge of Ben Gordon, and offensively I took the challenge of trying to put them away.

We got two great pitching performances today. They're usually going to put the ball in play against Mindy. We gave her great support in the field.

We got to the foul line quite a few times. Didn't make as many we would have liked, though. But it was the fools' gold that beat us. We were 1-for-17 on 3-point attempts. You can't shoot like that against a good team like East.

We can defend ourselves against Iraq. It would be quick and easy. But, it's worth waiting a little while because it's not a military threat.

We felt like we played well in the second half against Fairfax. We were down 15 over there and came back and had a chance to tie it up.

We felt like we let those two (games against South Carolina) get away. We've got to come back in more focused (today).

We felt like we left 17 points on the field. We can't do that next week against Purdue.

We felt like we had a chance to win that game but we helped them out a lot in the fourth quarter and good teams take advantage of things like that. You can't make mistakes against them because they don't usually beat themselves.

We felt like we got good looks. I think they definitely made adjustments. They tried to be a little more aggressive against our pick-and-roll game. But with all that said, we just didn't do a good enough job.

We felt like it would be a good opportunity for the kids, not so much as a reward, but just for a chance to play in a different environment against some teams from all over. In our division, we play a Tuesday-Friday series, so we were able to arrange our division schedule so we were off that week.

We felt like if we could keep them in normal field position, they weren't going to score against us because they didn't move the ball consistently all day.

We bucked the industry trend and are maintaining a strong circulation story, ... We are strengthening our position against our competition in the East Bay ... the Chronicle and the Alameda newspapers.

We broke down our scores to see how we did against the 4A and 5A teams we didn't run against, and there are several 4A teams who would have finished ahead of us.

We bounced back from the loss against Baylor. It was a much-needed win for us.

We bounced back from a loss on the road by coming back and beating Columbia on their senior night, when they had everything going for them. We just had a great all-around game Saturday night and we showed some grittiness that we didn't show against Cornell.

We booked $21 million of advertising against that down payment in the first 12 days of selling, ... All of a sudden, the speculation that we overpaid went away.

We believe we have been within a hit or two or an out or two of having a different record more favorable to the wins category. It's within our control to win games. We know you can't make excuses, but we have come close to beating some top teams. We feel we can match up against anybody, but we have to compete at the highest level to do so.

We believe we are experiencing great success against the most crucial element of the insurgency, which is the terrorists and the foreign fighters,

We are gifted with freedom, but with that freedom comes the reality of the unknown and the responsibility to be aware of our surroundings and on guard against those who would do us harm.

We are getting increasingly good results against the top sides and emerging as challengers to Chelsea. We feel we are significantly improving in all departments.

We are getting good results against the top sides and not slipping up against the smaller ones. We are emerging as challengers for the title. There is still a big gap to reduce but, as the season goes on and we keep getting the results, our confidence will get bigger and bigger.

We are getting a little tired of this kind of Kafkaesque treatment of people, where vague allegations are made and actions are taken against individuals and organizations,

We're going to match our athletes against their athletes.

We're going to look at how effective it is, how efficient it is in the next 30 days. There are several large ferry systems in the United States, and, if this is as effective as we hope it is going to be, it will add to our security system against terrorists.

We're going to have to win against Germany and Italy. We have to enjoy this moment for a couple of hours today.
