 (After the Villanova loss) I was really disappointed for our kids, not in our kids. Tonight that feeling's a little different. As the leader of this group, it's ultimately my responsibility to put this team in position to be successful, and that obviously was not the case tonight. For our upperclassmen, I will continue to try to put this in perspective and try to get prepared for our next challenge.

 ['] 'I don't see why they won't continue making the golf courses longer, ... 'Guys are going to continue to hit it farther. It's just the nature of the game until there's a speed limit on the (driver) faces and on the balls. But we seem to find something a little bit faster and a little bit longer every year. ... It's not relying upon spin around the greens anymore. It's about distance off the tees.
  Tiger Woods

 [Asked if he thought his sardonic tale of two embezzlers who run into violently funny complications one Christmas Eve in Kansas is] too intelligent for American audiences, ... what studio marketers call the 'first tier.' There are perhaps 50 theaters in the whole country that represent that audience, and the highest quality and most artistic films really can only survive and thrive in those markets.

 [Aziz's patrol continues on past one of the two main mosques in Karmah. Over the past few days, the Iraqi soldiers have told the Marines what the imams have blasted over loudspeakers—calls to rise up and attack the Americans. But, under strict orders, the Marines may not enter mosques or schools. They don't like it.] What I'd give to be able to look in there, ... You know they're hiding something.

 [better than before. ] Driving out, I was pretty beat down, ... I was sad and embarrassed and I was like a lot of people that you might have seen on the news saying, `I'm not coming back.' But all these places—like Florida after their hurricanes,  or Los Angeles after the riots—they've recovered.  I'm going to do what I can to make it better. And I think there's so much that's not destroyed.

 [Energy] Secretary [Spencer] Abraham, Secretary [of State Colin] Powell, the White House -- we are in constant discussions with producers from around the world, ... [National security adviser] Condi Rice has certainly been in touch with individuals in OPEC, and we will continue working for America's consumers to make our views known to our friends in OPEC, as well as other producers around the world

 [Even those who return to corporate America will do so with knowledge and experience that only comes from having done it themselves.] In the future, there will only be two kinds of individuals: those who are entrepreneurs, and those who have to think like entrepreneurs, ... As independents come back into the corporate structure, they're bringing an enlightened awareness of bottom lines, P&L and ROI.

 [For instance:] You could say one wine is like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz while another is like the mature Judy Garland, or that a big voluptuous chardonnay is like Marilyn Monroe -- round, bosomy -- you can remember that chardonnay, ... If you say a wine is snappy and lively, like Robin Williams, that's very different than the Anthony Hopkins of wine -- urbane, sophisticated, measured, considered.

 [Georgia defensive end David Pollack issued the challenge before the 2005 Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla. Pollack was not as brash as the aforementioned Torbor. But you could sense that he had the same opinion. That is, the SEC had more speed and better athletes than the Big Ten.] I definitely think there are differences, ... But all differences aside, you've still got to play the game and see who wins.

 [Heather only spends 2 hours at the BBC studios - enough time for some make-up, a quick rehearsal and then the broadcast. She thoroughly enjoys her job and initial doubts or worries are long gone.] I get the best of both worlds, ... I work as a scientist during the day, and then become a TV presenter during the evening. The working environments are completely different, and 1 thrive on the contrast.

 [Kansas City: RHPs Denny Bautista, who is on the disabled list with a sore shoulder, and Runelvys Hernandez, who is suspended for 10 games, pitched a simulated game. Hernandez completes his suspension Saturday and will start that day at Cleveland.] We're trying to figure out what we're going to do next with Bautista, ... I still don't think he's going to pitch for us this year, although he wants to.

 [Parents who use the supersize strollers dismiss the notion that they are inconsiderate or think of themselves as superior.] If anything I am particularly self-conscious about the stroller in public places, that I'm not bumping into people, ... A stroller is something a parent uses all the time. It's one of those things, like eyeglasses. You're always using them. You don't want to cheap out on them.

 [So, he ends up buying tickets for kids to go to a Raptors game, or helps out a downtown mission.] You ask me, what makes me the guy in the community? I think it's the right thing to do, ... It's not that I'm obligated to do it. It's not that I should do it. It's the right thing ... if I can make a kid happy or put a smile on a family's face that's more joy than having your picture in the newspaper.

 [Tech's defense was up to the challenge. It didn't allow any points on Maryland's drives after Vick's three third-quarter interceptions, and gave up just 45 total yards. Tech has given up three points off of five turnovers this season.] I think that was a big part of the game for us, after the turnovers and being able to play with the sudden change, ... It just gave a different look for the defense.

 [The Bucs signed seven players to their practice squad Monday. All seven were in training camp with the Bucs before being released. They are linebacker Matt Grootegoed, center Scott Jackson, cornerback James Patrick, safety Kalvin Pearson, wide receiver DeAndrew Rubin, running back Derek Watson and defensive end Andrew Williams.] Some of those guys were close calls, ... We're glad to have them back.
