Microsoft faces many significant competitors and changes in the high-tech industry are always going to be five steps ahead of government attempts to regulate the high-tech marketplace.

Microsoft doesn't respect the antitrust laws, and it has amply demonstrated that it can't be trusted. The company has shown its contempt for any court-imposed changes in its conduct. If the government ends the antitrust case by seeking changes in its conduct, but not in its structure, Microsoft can be expected to creatively evade the thrust of such agreements.

Microsoft is unveiling a major reorganization today to help get Vista out the door. Some of the major changes include the appointing of three new officers to the three major divisions. The Microsoft Platform Products & Services Division will be led by Kevin Johnson and Jim Allchin as co-presidents; Jeff Raikes has been named president of the Microsoft Business Division; and Robbie Bach has been named as president of Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division. In addition, the company said Ray Ozzie will expand his role as chief technical officer by assuming responsibility for helping drive its software-based services strategy and execution across all three divisions.

Mike Armstrong jumped in when we all thought we knew where the industry was heading. Before he knew it, the changes that he had made were not helping AT&T, and he had to sell his way out of it.

Might be some other changes to try and get some offense jump-started.

Midwest and Southwest are prime examples of the changes occurring at Pittsburgh International Airport. Southwest has been doing very well from the outset and Midwest, with their outstanding customer service, has found a niche that hopefully we will see grow even more.

Michaels announced management changes that we believe will be a plus to the story at this time.

Michael had initially been very keen on Real Madrid. But the leadership changes there in the last few months mean we don't know what's happening.

Whole-grain foods contain fiber, vitamins, minerals and other things that are removed during refining. We recommend that whole grain intake should start from a very young age to develop a healthy lifestyle. Cardiovascular changes and diabetes risk are starting to occur earlier now, especially due to the obesity epidemic.

Wilkinson acknowledges, ''but I mostly side-stepped them. Still, in any relationship, including marriage, issues arise when the balance changes drastically or great success is achieved suddenly. It's only natural. You're both moving toward the same point, and some accommodation must be made. In my case, I grew out of being Bill's son to being something like a friend and colleague.

Why would the investment group want to move the corporate headquarters? If Kroger's bought the company, then we'd probably be looking at some major changes in the Treasure Valley.

We just want to win. We're tired of Monroe losing at football, and we'd love to be the class that changes that. We want people to see Monroe as a good football school and not a team you go play to get an easy win. It's nice to get off to a good start, get a couple of wins under our belt.

We haven't talked about any changes in the program.

We haven't received any indication of any changes for Delta fights at this point. We don't comment on any labor negotiations, but Delta is a legacy carrier (one that has served the airport many years) in Orlando.

You have to do everything possible for the safety of the competitors, spectators and the people who work in F1. But we mustn't emasculate it. We mustn't take away the spectacle. At the moment, we have a good balance, but I will never give up working and pushing the FIA to make changes in the interests of safety. Everywhere you look, there is an opportunity to hurt yourself and we don't want F1 to be marred.

You'll see what those changes are on Saturday,

You'll definitely see some changes in the lineup. We had some good draft picks.

Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we this way and not some other? What does it mean to be human? Are we capable, if need be, of fundamental change, or do the dead hands of forgotten ancestors impel us in some direction, indiscriminately for good or ill, and beyond our control? Can we alter our character? Can we improve our societies? Can we leave our children a world better than the one that was left to us? Can we free them from the demons that torment us and haunt our civilization? In the long run, are we wise enough to know what changes to make? Can we be trusted with our own future?

While the changes will temporarily mean fewer jobs, our investment will restore positions and help strengthen the plant's future.

We continue to believe that changes to the Wright Amendment will negatively impact local businesses, the economy and potentially thousands of jobs throughout North Texas.

We'll continue to assess the sales, profit and investment on each of our stores, but we do not expect another closing of this size in the near term. In retail you're always reviewing your fleet, making changes to the fleet whether it's closings or openings.

We were looking to make some changes and add some youth. We never could have expected this.

When it comes to exercise, everybody has to find what works for them. I watch my body. I look at myself in the mirror once a week - not because I'm vain, but I'm looking for moles and changes in my body.

When I took it over, the challenge was that the play was too long, I was asked to shorten the show. That's not an easy thing to do when people have been doing it for 50 years. You have to understand, we have 400 people that volunteer their time up here and any changes I institute wouldn't happen if they didn't stand behind what we were doing. In fact, a lot of the revisions we've made have been at the suggestion of the people who are involved in the play.

We are bitterly disappointed, but we're not giving up yet. It's simply a bad deal for the industry and registrants everywhere. The fact that this monopolistic deal was approved is a loud signal that major changes are needed at ICANN.

We believe that the United States should coordinate and cooperate with the Iraqi opposition, and must not entertain any idea of making changes behind the opposition's back.

We can say with great certainty that feather color affects female preference for particular males and that changes in the signal have really important consequences in terms of whose offspring you're caring for.

We can say authoritatively that federal bankruptcy law changes are doing no measurable good whatsoever. They've done nothing more than put new hurdles in the path of people who are already flat on their back due to a financial crisis over which they have no control.

We dropped a few minutes on the second stage today when we had to change a front left puncture, which is a real pity as we were quickest on stage one. I think we'll need a lot of luck for a win now but I'm happy with our pace this afternoon; the car is feeling good and we only have to make minor changes tonight. We have another repeated set of stages tomorrow; most people seem to make up time the second time through so I prefer to try and take a bit of an advantage on the first run.

We're all sitting here waiting for this company to produce earnings from the changes Chuck Conaway has initiated. These changes are going to make a substantive difference. The market believes it. We do too. But it won't start being reflected until we see the hard numbers.

We're all seeing the same thing. The changes are very alarming.

We hope that everyone involved will understand that this change is being made in response to the critical situation in the Middle East and will help us make these changes work.

We have taken steps to improve our growth prospects by making management changes and upgrades at a number of key operating units,

We don't expect any substantial changes. However, if any changes are going to be made, customers will be notified, ... We think long and hard before increasing anyone's rate. We strive to be the low-cost provider and we want to be a part of your community, not just a service provider.

We do not feel changes need to be made in the PSC. Furthermore, we believe the position of attorney general should be elected in a non-partisan manner, just like Kentucky's judges, so that partisan politics do not overwhelm decision-making in thinly veiled attempts to advance careers.

We do not believe the staff- inmate ratio changes can be interpreted to mean our prisons are less safe. Additional medium security and minimum-security capacity, advances in building design, technology - all of these factors come into play with regard to the ratio numbers.

We do not anticipate any changes in our relations. We view this as shuffling deck chairs.

We do look forward to a step-by-step process where we can see changes in North Korean behavior and where we can improve the relationship with North Korea,

We were 3-13, so you expect changes in coaching and in personnel. I'm proud that the team did fight. It wasn't like we had a bunch of Green Bay games (a 523 loss on Oct. 9). We lost three or four games as the clock ran out, and even today was a good game.

With all the discussion about me being traded or cut has helped me realize that the contract I have ran out of guarantees the day I was injured. Therefore each year they pay you to play is a gift. I expect that if there are no changes to my present contract, then I should prepare for a year-by-year commitment. When I am ready to hit the field this year, wherever it may be, I plan on being better than ever and enjoying the ride.

With all the changes we've seen in just the past six years, it wouldn't surprise me if something else came along. But they would have some serious catching up to do. With each year and each version of Flash, it becomes harder for anyone else to catch up.

With all the casinos coming ... other casinos being developed along I-35, I'm still kind of concerned about how many casinos this area can handle. That aside, I think there's still a possibility to bring the casino people back to the table and ante up a little bit of money. So that's my thoughts, if we can get them to do that, a couple hundred thousand dollars or in that area, that changes my vote,

Without a doubt, medical affairs departments are struggling to maintain their strategic impact amid regulatory changes and the introduction of new industry guidelines. With the OIG guidance and the potential effects of Medicare Part D, medical affairs departments have turned to globalization to implement standards of practice across all their organizations.

We're building a ranch plan based on a home we had previously done. We really liked this home plan, and when you build a house you are always thinking what if we did this or that differently.

We're definitely stronger today than we have ever been, and I think that is a direct result of the changes we have made.

Yolanda's only thing when I started making all the changes was she requested that I trade her because she thought that I was rebuilding, ...

We don't want to put anyone out of business, ... Some changes will have to happen, and we're giving them the time to do it.

We have been through our changes as individuals and as bands. Sometimes it's been really rough, and sometimes it's been really wonderful, but it's always been worth it. And no matter what we've been going through, the three of us, or the four of us, or any of us individually, we still feel that we've been lucky that we're able to be making music.

We are thrilled with the support we are receiving from the industry on the new direction we are taking.

When you're making a TV drama, the showrunner is God, and so however onerous and difficult and consuming that responsibility is, you're being treated with respect, so it changes your whole outlook to the production. You're being asked about costumes, set design, music, every aspect of the show.

When you're the one character that changes dramatically in the movie ... it better be a change for the better. I think it's an improvement on the past. It's a more likely relationship.

We believe the union's Dec. 9 CBA proposal, while offering necessary and significant short-term financial relief, falls well short of providing the fundamental systemic changes that are required to ensure that overall league economics remain in sync on a going-forward basis,

We've made some changes in Daniel and he's made a lot of improvements. Every now and then, though, he falls back into an old pattern. He just needs to have more repetitions of the way we want him throwing. Through the course of the year, he's really going to improve. He's got really good stuff.

We've made a ton of progress with it over the winter and it's down to small changes now. We're doing a lot of work with the wing right now to test it out and see how it's going to work. It has been real positive. We will keep pressing on and in '07 it will race.

We've made a number of personnel changes on the defense. We thought we'd be further along in the secondary. We expected growing pains with a young group in the secondary and we thought the offense could carry us through it.

We've made a couple little changes in our lineup and hopefully the combinations will make us stronger at both spots,

We've long suspected that genomic changes underlie cancer risk, but that knowledge hasn't translated yet into a broadly applicable way to identify individuals most at risk. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes implicated in breast and ovarian cancers are great examples, but they are applicable only to a small percentage -- less than one percent -- of women.

We've listened closely and are making changes that provide added flexibility at price points more favorable to our customers.

We've kept the standards up pretty high. I think everybody goes through the personnel changes that are fairly dramatic and can affect your team. We've been able to fight through that and still win our share. We've tried to adhere to that standard that was established in the first few years. We're still trying to live up to that.

We have competition at safety and I think that's healthy and good, but I don't think that warrants any changes at this point.

We have been waiting to get back to the regional finals for three years. Jordan Cook (6-10 Hampden Academy center) is a game changer and changes teams with his defense and is pretty smooth offensively as well.

We're watching the market carefully for any signs of a turn, for any signs of the 'bursting bubble' that some analysts have been predicting. So far we're not seeing anything other than the normal incremental changes you would expect in the ebb and flow of a real estate cycle.

Using clothes to transform was a huge part of my childhood. But also, I've been acting forever, and wardrobe changes the way you feel, so it totally indicates the character you're going to play.

Virtualization has allowed us to decrease our costs, increase our agility, increase time to market for new business applications and make changes more efficiently.

We have a long-term agreement with CHA. We expect there will be no changes to benefits or services for at least five years.

We have always viewed the White House and the House as going along with some airline relief as part of a whole package. If you try to pull it out and pass it separately, it changes the dynamics of pension reform.

We have always had a policy that if it's illegal to do off eBay, it's illegal to do on eBay, ... We have made some changes and additions to our existing stun gun policy. We want to continue to keep people from doing illegal things on eBay.

We have already raised our concerns about recent changes to the visa regime for international students as well as further measures proposed by government, including plans to abolish the right of appeal for international students who are refused visas, that risk making us less attractive as a study destination.

We could have kept both of them, but it would have been very, very difficult -- nigh on impossible. We would have had to make some other major moves and changes to our roster to make that happen.

We can think of changes to the oceans locally, but in terms of human health we have to look globally. This is a global connection. As we change ocean properties through climate change, remote consequences are likely to arise ? we may not even know what they are yet.

We have two approaches in our research - the empirical model and the mechanistic model. The empirical model generates life prediction from accelerated degradation test data, while the mechanistic model relates life prediction to changes in battery materials. Our approach provides an independent measure of battery life so we don't have to rely on what battery manufacturers tell us.

We just didn't want to make too many changes and mess anything up too much, ... We'll be OK for the race.

We played one of our better games of the season. We handled their pressure, and their changes in their defense. The guys did a really good job of sharing the basketball.

We had opportunities to make big plays and we did it in spurts and we just have to continue to minimize the mistakes. One thing about this offense is we cannot afford to make too many mistakes, we are killing ourselves. Anytime that you are 3rd-and-2 and it turns to 3rd-and-7 it changes the whole philosophy of the game, the game plan and game calling.
