Also positively impacting our gross margins is the continued decrease in hardware revenues as a percentage of total revenue.

While we were initially pleased that the government had dropped its baseless charge against Zhao, his continued detention shows the government's cavalier attitude toward due process and the rule of law. We call for his immediate release.

We look forward to continued success as we enter the holiday season.

We have some time before this is reported to the Security Council so hopefully in that intervening 30-45 days, or however long it will take, there will be continued negotiations and there will be some changes. Perhaps Iran will come to its senses and respond to the Russian proposal.

We couldn't have landed this account at a better time. Our continued successes working with consumer products companies across the United States are again reflected in McCormick's appointment of us. I am especially thrilled because McCormick is a Maryland-based company. I was born and raised in Maryland and our home office is located in Annapolis -- not far from McCormick's Maryland headquarters. Of course, it does not get any better than Maryland Crabs and Old Bay seasoning (one of McCormick's many fine products)!

We've gotten better since then. We've continued to work hard and gotten better.

We will return this game to our fans with a promise - we will do everything in our power to be the best we can be and to earn your continued devotion. This was a terrible time for everyone associated with the game. We will do everything we can to make it up to you.

We've made some really good progress. We're looking at continued restoration today.

We've got plenty of the key elements here that have been part of this awesome offense that we've continued to build over the years, ... We're not lacking any playmakers. We've just got to give our playmakers more time to do stuff.

We dug ourselves a hole and we just kept fighting back. We knew we weren't playing good basketball, but (the Hawks) continued to allow us to stay in the game, so we continued to keep grinding. In the fourth quarter, guys started hitting the shots they were missing earlier in the game.

We dug ourselves in a hole. We continued to play hard but when you're down 17 points with 10 minutes left, it gets a little tough.

We don't have a deal but we continued our discussions, we will continue them and we edged forward... but it's edging forward.

We got down and we just kept battling. For a while there we just couldn't generate a lot of offensive rhythm...I think that created a little bit of a problem for us, we continued to battle and it made a difference at the end.

We really need to think about four pillars for retirement. ... The first pillar is Social Security. The second is individual pensions or savings. The third is health insurance, very important. And the fourth, surprisingly, is the continued ability to earn, because many people are going to need to find some way of bringing in earnings after they pass normal retirement age, and we think that that should be more and more emphasized in terms of getting ready for that possibility.

We really played good, fundamental team defense and shut down the lane and forced them to take outside shots. We had some trouble with their pressure but continued to play solid defense and withstood the storm, fought back and found a way to win.

That was a team thing. A lot of kids continued to put up a few points here and there for us to win it.

The Palm team again delivered stellar results on multiple fronts: revenue, units shipped, profitability, and content and platform momentum.

We shall never forget their enthusiasm, love of space, dedication, and their continued inspiration.

Yahoo! has a strong track record of focusing and delivering on some of the biggest opportunities on the Internet. In 2005, Yahoo! continued to achieve significant results by providing some of the most innovative services to our hundreds of millions of consumers and deepening both our global reach and user engagement. As we look ahead, we will continue to focus on creating the best consumer experience, finding new ways to engage our audience and delivering the best value for our advertisers.

We're a pretty resilient group and everybody has chipped in. I think a lot of guys have had career years. Right from training camp I thought we had four lines that could score.
