John Clippinger

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared.

We expect even more cars on the grid when we start the season.

We're going to play much better (tonight) than we did Sunday. As a team we all know we're much better than how we played on Sunday. Hartford came out playing with desperation that day and we just didn't match their intensity. But we're still in a 2-2 series and we're not panicking.

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

Vic Toews

What they say to me is that it is wrong that these individuals who have broken their obligations to society are now entitled to have the same voice in society.

What has become clear is that if society wants to avoid future disasters, it should do two things ? prevent even greater disruption to the climate system and prepare for the climate changes already set in motion. There is urgency on both fronts, reducing emissions and preparing to adapt.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Natalie Purcell

We've always had good second halves, but we always start slow. It was nice to have a good first half.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Ken Macha

When we were trying to pick a fifth starter back in camp, it was between Saarloos and Etherton, and we weren't quite sure which way we were leaning. So we went to Kendall, and he was adamant about Saarloos. That's what clinched it.

James Loney

When we were released I was sure I could jump right back into ordinary life and that's what I wanted the most, but I'm afraid no such luck. When I can get through an ordinary day without shaking legs and a pounding heart, I think that will be a sign that I can start to tell my story.

Steve Grossman

Tom Reillys case to the people of Massachusetts does not rest on where he stands on one particular issue or another. It rests on his integrity, honesty, and a hundred-percent commitment to giving the people of Massachusetts a full days work for a full days pay.... He is as honest as the sun, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with him.

Bob Lekites

We remain confident about our long-term customer demand in the U.S. and abroad. And whether it's in Europe, Asia or Latin America, we need to be prepared to deploy a modern jet freighter that's flexible enough to operate anywhere.

Bruce Bochy

We're starting to get a little concerned whether he's getting enough playing time.

Bruce Martin

We respond once we have had a call. We will usually dispatch officers to the scene and look for any suspects. We will make sure that the person that called is all right.

We would heighten our patrol in that area whether it be by car or by foot and that is what we have done is this past particular instance.

Steven Gerrard

We're going to the final, that's the most important thing. Whether it was a goal or not, I'm sure people will comment on that, but we're happy we're going to Istanbul. Chelsea put us under pressure but we defended really well.

John Marshall

We're going to talk to the voters about the issues Colorado cares about. We don't begrudge him bringing in Eastern Bloc friends, but I suspect that the cowboys down at the coffeehouse in Delta are more interested what the candidates have to say about water and health care than whether or not the president of Poland is backing you.

Ricky Ford

We're going to see if the district attorney can verbally review officers' actions with the GBI and OPS, ... Based on what information is given to the district attorney, a decision could be made about whether the officers can be put back on active duty.
