I have saved $1,638,580 over my four years. That may not seem like a lot, faced with our deficit, but multiply it by 435 members of the House - and then the senators get three times as much - and you are adding up several millions in savings.

I probably haven't faced a lineup like them, but for me, I'm not scared of anybody. They're baseball players just like I am. They put their unis on the same way I do. It's about execution. Today I didn't execute. There's no other excuse for it.

Chillicothe is the toughest opponent we've faced all year. Everybody can talk about this and that, but there is no way they should have been a four-seed in this tournament. They have a lot of weapons, and it's going to be a huge challenge.

I don't know it's just good timing I guess. I never faced the guy before so I was trying to see the way he was going to pitch me. The first pitch was middle in, a slider. I was looking for a pitch and I hit it good. I focused just to see the ball and to try and get a good pitch.

I didn't do what I wanted to do. When you have never faced a guy before you try to make what you think is your best pitch. I just hung it a little.

Champ Bailey. He has it all. He's fast. He's quick. He can do it all. He's definitely the best I've faced so far. He's a lockdown guy. He's the guy their coach can say, 'You take him. I don't want to see him catch any balls.' I only caught two balls against him last year; it was a good challenge. There were some routes he covered me on that I hadn't been covered on the previous weeks. It was a challenge. Playing him makes me want to play better.

I couldn't watch because shootouts they're damaging to your health. I've never faced a team as good as Churchill.

I am pleased with the progress we have made in light of the challenges we faced in the second half of 2005.

Our businesses are well positioned to grow as we facilitate improved revenue cycle management, the capturing and sharing of clinical information and the empowerment of the patient.

I am not sure we have faced a team like that before.

I am now faced with a terrible dilemma.

He pitched really good against us the couple of times we faced San Diego, so he's in the mix for that last couple of bullpen spots.

He pitched as well today as he did in Chicago. It's a big lift for us. Those last two teams he's faced are not slouches. His tempo was outstanding. I like his tempo. Last year his tempo was slow.

For the companies, to bring the money back at this rate was a no-brainer. Even if they were not planning to make use of the money immediately, when faced with the option of tapping the funds at a 5 percent tax instead of 35 percent, most of them just decided to do it -- it makes sense.

Carlesimo (Seton Hall), John Thompson (Georgetown), Louie Carnesecca (St. John's), Rick Pitino (Providence), Jim Boeheim, Jimmy O'Brien (Boston College) and Rollie Massimino (Villanova). That's what we faced when we came to the Big East. That coaching array alone I think made the Big East very special.

If all of this seems like a great deal of trouble, think what's at stake. We are faced with the most evil enemy mankind has known in his long climb from the swamp to the stars.

Theology never changes. A man's heart is the same. The Gospel is the same. There have been no additions to the Gospel that was preached in the first century, and there is no difference in the reading of the events of the first century; morally, they're still the same. The same old sins, the same old problems, basically, that they faced in Egypt we face today in America.
