Steve Johnson Quotations

We both grew up on a dairy farm in Unadilla and our parents were very active people, ... We kind of grew up with an active lifestyle.

Working separately, environmental success is limited, ... The unprecedented partnership of the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration has brought all our partners to the table to ensure the Great Lakes remain an international treasure -- forever open to trade and tourism.

We were trying to make it as safe as possible. The biggest thing is, people have the responsibility to use the devices that are present.

We're happy with winning the hockey game, obviously, but we know we got to play better. I thought we played just well enough to win. We certainly can't play Wednesday the way we have the last couple nights.

She quit after she was accused of taking the money,

No one thought very much of us coming into the tournament. But why would anyone think we were that good? We were the third seed (out of districts), and we don't have anyone over 6-foot-4.

Naturally, when you lose a sectional game, that hurts, but as far as the season's concerned, our seniors did extremely well. It's an outstanding season. We got three of the four pieces of gold we've spoken about, plus we gave Penn their only loss at their place. Nineteen and four, nothing wrong with that.

I don't know that live shows are anything other than a loss leader, unfortunately, these days. I don't know that there's any advantage to going that route.

I am extremely excited to join the Champ Car team as President. I have been amazed at the progress the series has made over the last twelve months and look forward to continuing the momentum and successes long into the future. Champ Car has a great vision as well as committed teams, owners, sponsors and promoters. Open wheel racing has work to do and Champ Car is getting it done.

Basically, it's the tourist trade that interests China,

China, as an example, in 2004 graduated 350,000 engineers and computer science-type people. The United States was under 140,000 and that separation continues.

I had a very good feeling about this season, but 16-and-2, come on, look at who we play.

I feel delighted for the opportunity to be a part of it and be (among the) the chosen ones. It shows that the community needs a lot of jobs.

Get out and get registered or we could be knocking on your door tomorrow.

From a legal standpoint, there's really no consequence that Boney was convicted. When you've got two people involved in a murder and they aid each other, each is equally responsible.

If a mother truly does follow the provisions of the law, I think it's very unlikely a prosecutor will file charges. If the baby's safe -- I think that's all they care about.

If the individual chooses not to report on the return the government doesn't often find out about it,

We told the kids that it's important to get off to a good start when you're playing away from home. The fact we came out aggressive on both ends of the court allowed us to accomplish this tonight.

We throw a party and a race breaks out. When you boil it down, that's our basic business model. It definitely works.

Having the same power without going overboard with the power is essential, ... Running power to the center of a data center can get kind of pricey, particularly with a tight budget.

I think the job of the executive board is to support and elect Republicans, ... Instead, they've chosen to focus on the one issue that most divides us.

I think the board needs to step up and say, we need to look at it a lot more our own and decide what schools we think they need to be in. The last thing I want to do is to have to explain to a parent in Richmond that there child's been injured or killed because of neglect on part of the school system.

It is so hard to have principles and have anything to do with television.

I thought we came out strong. But I think that put us to sleep and woke them up a bit. After those first two goals, they dominated throughout the second period. I think we matched their game until the third period.

I seem to be seeing a lot more daily traffic. It appears to be a lot more just day in and day out.

Our idea of success is not having someone sit on a metal stand for four hours getting sunburned.

Overall, it looks really good. But we generally reach our peak at the end of March. There?s definitely more to come.

Pieces of gold -- that's what we call the Longfellow game (already captured this year over city rival Central), the holiday tourney, the conference and the state tournament -- and that's what we're playing to get. We do talk about those four pieces of gold.

Our load factor (the percentage of seats filled in October last year) was only 56% of what they offered. With that as one of the arguments, you'd look at providing fewer seats.

I think he's trying to shock people and get their attention and get people like me to write, 'Oh, the horror and outrage,' which you hate too do, because you're playing into his hands. But you have to do it, because there is horror and outrage, you know?

I thought my eyes were messing with me, so I looked again. She breathed. It was almost disbelief that she was still alive.

Maybe in 10 years a loser-out game won't get so many people down here for us. It's been awesome to have so many people and such a raucous crowd, and if they're just doing it because they want to get out of school, that's fine.

Where was the bloody advertising for Wife Swap as it seemed to be quite accidental that me and the wife ended up watching it?

We're a good offensive team and we shoot from the perimeter. That's what we do. We weren't going to change the way we play this week. We struggled with our shot and we may have been a little intimidated by the environment this morning, but that's part of the experience.

Wada (World Anti-Doping Agency) and the US Anti-Doping Agency, they've all defined a process for collecting samples, managing samples, testing the samples, identifying the people who are involved,

We could not be more proud of the effort that everyone in the Champ Car community has shown in raising money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, ... Teams, sponsors and drivers have all taken action to further the cause and our fans have responded with equal enthusiasm. We also owe a good deal of thanks to CARA for their valuable assistance in this effort to bring aid to those affected by this tragedy.

We still have the loyal Champ Car fans that are out there as well. So we've really got a couple of different markets we're going after.

To me, this is an issue for the French people. They seemed very concerned about it, and frankly I don't care what they think. And I don't think Lance does either.

The property tax system is way too complex of a system, making it tough for the average citizen to determine how these different factors affect their bills.

We don't know if there's a problem or not. We are taking appropriate steps to understand what we're dealing with. There's just a lot of work to be done.

Well, that was interesting. I just thought I'd try to bask a little longer in the afterglow of yesterday's firestorm over my simple declaration that my wife and I had a hard time getting an Apple product up and running with anywhere near the simplicity that lore would have them possess. I managed to post more than 180 comments and there were another 80 or so that were either too obscene, too repetitive or just plain too many to put up before I turned off the 'comments' feature. I'll attempt to summarize and respond to the main threads of the, um, conversation.

We put together a group of officers who get out and look for bigger party problems - parties with lots of people, illegally selling beer ... loud parties that create complaints.

This whole thing isn't a big deal for Americans,

What Lance has accomplished is so much bigger than just the Tour de France. That's only part of it.

What kind of message does that send to the troops? That inspector was almost killed. . . . It's amazing that she survived.

(With the bye, Concord's) had nothing to think about but us, while we had to think about Garrett. If you get hit between the eyes like they did, you're going to come to play, and they're a good team. That score last time was much wider than how I think the teams compare.

We wanted to come out and make something happen right away. I thought we accomplished this, but we also did a good job of slowing them down with our zone defense.

We will always do whatever we can to help our promoters, and if moving the race to a more accommodating date helps the event and helps our loyal Mexican fans, we are happy to do it.

We were particularly impressed by the Business Intelligence features of Vantage such as the Dashboard which allows us to quickly look at key performance indicators without having to prepare complex reports.

We feel we had success in the regular season, but that doesn't mean anything in the playoffs. We have to go out and take care of business Friday.

You got to do what you love to do, something you were passionate about, and do it legally. You try it on the road and every time you turn around you're getting a speeding ticket. Something had to give.

There's no private investment occurring that is not supported by some type of public subsidy. The rail may make it more attractive to do ... but how soon that happens is conjecture, and there are factors in the valley where the private sector is still going to be cautious.

There's no way to put a pretty face on it,

The trails travel through Colorado's natural treasures like Rocky Mountain National Park and the Great Sand Dunes. They roam quietly with vagabond creeks, saunter through pageants of wildflowers, and soar with high mountain summits.

It was almost disbelief that she was still alive.

I've always tried to take pride in the fact that I'm just as accessible on the day after the campaign as I am during the campaign.

Somewhere along the way, maybe at Jamestown, America decided the sales figures were going to matter more than the product.

Satan has won another victory against us, and the strange thing was, he had the help of the Bishop. So much for keeping promises.

Our existing system had served us well in the past but there were a number of reliability and support issues and it was also starting to reach its limits in terms of expandability. At the end of 2004, we started a four-stage selection process with an invitation to tender from which we created an initial list of eight different products from 12 potential suppliers.

People don't have a lot of patience for crummy results that don't seem tailored to them.

Additionally, this year's survey shows a clear need for retailers to help consumers navigate through the torrent of options available to them. Too many retailers are losing out on commerce opportunities as consumers leave sites empty-handed simply because they can't find merchandise that interests them.

Some people like to fish and some people like to golf. I like to haul the mail in these cars.

Defensively, (Penn) took us out of our game. They didn't give us anything free, and when you go to the line only (three) times and them 17, that's a difference, too. But it was their defense. They just took us out of our rhythm.

Despite significant interest in personalization, there is growing concern among consumers about the security of their personal data -- even with established, trusted brands. To address these concerns, we as an industry must be absolutely vigilant in our efforts to safeguard consumers' personal data.

This isn't a 'doping positive'. This is just a publication in a French tabloid newspaper. That's our perspective.

This combination benefits Champ Car not only by providing a strong package for our current teams, but also by giving prospective teams an opportunity to be competitive right away.

This is a dream come true. I've been racing with Snap-on Tools' support for 14 years, but this takes our relationship to a new level.

They have certain rights in the process. None of that has been followed in this case.

You don't feel superior until you tell others about it.

There is obviously a need to acquire more open space and there are good reasons for that bond measure to pass, but there are so many other things that cost money that we don't have.

This is the least number of seats available we've had for a long time.

This is unbelievable. It's a great feeling not only for me, but the kids as well.

As well as Kevin performed offensively, he also had a heck of a defensive game tonight. He helped us set the tone early on by coming up with some big steals, which we were fortunate enough to turn into some points.

As we were moving cars around we realized some had been broken into.

It was reported to us on Aug. 23,

It was important to get a lead. Ridley has been a second-half team, but we kept working at it. Last week was a tough loss, but we decided to let it go and get the job done. The defense did a good job.

I told Mike it was too much money and he didn't have to do it. But he kept insisting that he give up the money. Still, we are a paycheck-to-paycheck family and it just felt too awkward so I couldn't accept.

I told him we're probably not going to get near it because he's there.

It's not really whether they have an ordinance, it's how it works,

For 18 years I've dreamed about winning this race, and about being in the Winner's Circle, and I got 50 percent of it. But I got the most important 50 percent,

It's kind of like asking what part of flying a plane would you not like your pilot to learn.

It's going to be a big, ugly wall and it's going to change the character of the river.

Democratic, market-oriented Taiwan is a thorn in its side.

The next 12 calendar months are going to be bigger and better.

Everyone is completely surprised when we ask them to slow down. Nobody thinks they're going too fast or that they're out of control.

Everyone agrees that the test procedures and our calculations are outdated. We've got 20 years of new technology, 20 years of experience, 20 years of new driving conditions,

The better the rating, the less we pay.

It will look like the Champ Car our fans recognize and it will sound like the Champ Car they love. This combination benefits Champ Car by providing not only a strong package for our current teams but also by giving prospective teams an opportunity to be competitive right away.

It will hurt the bottom line of the ski area, definitely.

As a coach, I go through night and day every game, night and day.

The IRS position is that these folks have to include all $75 in income. (However) a lot of people 65 and over won't have to file income tax returns at all.

The international performances of our top athletes over the next two years will determine the number of Olympic start positions we are awarded as a nation. The participation of our top athletes in the UCI World Cup calendar is critical in this process and we are committed to supporting their efforts.

The fall prime-time television lineup always looks so fastidious and ordered, laid out in a neat little grid like some periodic table of the situations.

In legislation that became effective in 2005, Congress adopted a uniform definition for most people. It won't change what they can take, but it'll make it easier for them to understand.

I'm not at all happy they did that. As a county elected official, I guess I resent it that the county party is essentially telling me to take a hike, ... I feel like my county party is working against me.

I mean, if they can put on a show here and there and draw well, I can see some benefit. But in the end, they might end up losing more than they gain.

I know what it is to pinch a penny. You have to set a budget and stick to it.

I'm very pleased. It's one more step in the process of getting the school built.

If you don't shut up and listen, we're going to start arresting people.
