He's definitely one of the best tax minds we've got.

He's got one of the best legal minds in the Senate,

We've been traveling and on the road for so long and came back here and played some tough teams. It took a lot out of us. It's a good time to get some rest and, mentally and physically, get our minds right.

We've been traveling like crazy. It's been really hard for our guys. I'm not making excuses for them. Their legs are gone; their minds are a little quirky, and it's hard for them because of their youth and lack of experience to make adjustments game in and game out. But there were some veteran-type responses (Wednesday against South Dakota State).

We try to put them in situations where they can take their talent and maximize it. We try to get them out of their comfort zone, playing against older, bigger players, so they have to use their minds as well as their skill to succeed. It doesn't matter what sport you play in, there are always going to be kids who are talented when they're young but they never face any adversity. Sometimes, the coaches take from the kids ? say a coach who has a guy that can score five goals a game but doesn't involve his teammates ? down the road, that's a disservice to player. There's a whole different element to being an elite athlete.

We took a huge step making it to Boston. We've tried to keep that in the back our minds all season. It's finally here. We can get closer to what we want to do.

We just have to execute better. We can't turn the ball over (seven) times. That night, our minds were not ready to play.

Lionel can play anything: totally out, blues, tear-jerking stuff, rock and African, ... Carlos didn't know him, but he trusted my judgment. When Lionel played, he blew everyone's minds -- the audience and Carlos' band. Their jaws were hanging.

Markets are in a trading range right now, consolidating gains after the last few months. A lot of investors were looking to this week's data as a way to break out of the range, but what we've seen has left enough doubt in the minds of the bulls that we aren't likely to break out of this range in the next few sessions.

Marty has demonstrated that he is one of the top offensive minds in the game and he's proven that throughout his NFL coaching career. We're happy to have had him on staff for the past three seasons and with that we feel this transition will be seamless for him and for the rest of the coaching staff.

That book changed women's lives. It opened women's minds to the idea that there actually might be something more. And for the women who secretly harbored such unpopular thoughts, it told them that there were other women out there like them who thought there might be something more to life.

That confrontation, I think, clearly was in the minds of those who were sitting down at the table,

Some people can afford to change their minds about decorating. We get lots of beautiful things that are brand-new.

Stagflation is in the back of the minds of many investors right now. When they see energy getting quirky, they want to duck. And when they see the market rally, they want to take some chips off the table.

Steve Bellamy is a natural choice for this award for being able to dream of what could and should be done in tennis at any level and take on the responsibility of making it happen and getting it done. He is creative, innovative, likeable and sometimes a maverick while developing a meeting of the minds of people at all levels whether on the court or in the boardroom.

Playing sports can be fun and therapeutic. We want to help kids get their minds off problems and get solid soccer tips.

Particle physicists may freeze a second, open it up, and explore its dappled contents like surgeons pawing through an abdomen, but in real life, when events occur within thousandths of a second, our minds cannot distinguish past from future.

Our minds being now enlightened, we began to have the Scripture laid open to our understandings, and the true meaning and intention of the more mysterious passages revealed unto us in a manner which we never could attain to previously . . .

Our minds can work for us or against us at any given moment. We can learn to accept and live with the natural psychological laws that govern us, understanding how to flow with life rather than struggle against it. We can return to our natural state of contentment.

Our minds weren't in it. When that happens, I don't care who you are playing, you're going to get smoked.

People of the ancient might not yet familiar and had no references at all with aircraft technology and propulsion system as we have today. Therefore, if they saw something strange and flying in the sky, sometimes they called it as chariots of fire, or wheel upon the earth, or by some words which came out of their minds and mouths spontaneously.

People only remember Gene because he never won. He's one of the finest baseball minds I've ever been around. When you talk to anyone who played for him, managed against him, they're going to tell you what a great baseball mind he has. You could spend 24 hours talking baseball with him.

I was able to interact with the greatest minds in all disciplines that serve this population.

I think we should all be accountable to our parties, but I also think that accountability should be a process of engagement: that MPs do engage with their constituency parties, do engage with their constituents, and MPs do change their minds on things because of local opinion.

Krishna insisted on outer cleanliness and inner cleansing. Clean clothes and clean minds are an ideal combination.

I think there has been for a long time and probably continues to be a lack of clarity, at least in the minds of some, about the mission of TWTP and its place at Brown.

I think the question on most people's minds is what are they going to do to be able to maintain the surplus and not overspend so that we move back into a deficit situation.

People are careful, they want to see the outcome of the elections this time around to see how things will work out...It would possibly be in six months' time when people can make up their minds to go.

I think it will ease our minds a little being familiar with the surroundings. For guys like me and Lance and Dom (Henderson) and Kiki (Carter) who have played there before, there will be a level of comfort.

It didn't really cross our minds (to foul) and we kind of backed off a little bit and Cyndi made a great shot. Great players make great shots.

It definitely will be a little tone setter. If you can beat them and set a good tone, maybe in the back of their minds they'll get frustrated. But if they walk in and beat us, 5-1, pretty easily, I think they'll be pretty comfortable and confident. So for both teams it's an important game.

It allows us to get away and stop banging up against our guys and get ourselves and our minds into playing football against other guys. I think it is about time. We've been (at training camp) for 10 or 11 days now and the guys' minds are starting to wonder, go here and there. I think it is about that time. The fans and everybody else are getting ready for football now.

I thought if we'd ever taken the lead, I thought that thought might start coming back into their minds that they can't win the big one. But we never took the lead, so we never saw how they'd react.

I thought it was good for us to get back together, and get their minds off what had happened. The thing is, though, since the storm, we've never had all of our kids back, and we have some we haven't been able to make contact with.

I think that will be a public policy question that will be on the minds of every legislator when they come in for the next session. That discussion will be the No. 1 issue in this legislative cycle. This will definitely put the fire under their feet.

Joy blooms where minds and hearts are open.

It is clear in our minds that a transition is inevitable in the long run for the simple reason that it will create a more efficient single peace support operation for the whole of Sudan, bringing coherence and synergy, and integration of political, humanitarian, military and post-conflict issues.

Our backs have been against the wall all year. We were put in a situation where it was a must-win for us today. They knew in the back of their minds what was at stake.

I think if we can condition our minds we can be pretty darn successful.

I worked for some of the greatest coaching minds in the NFL.

It feels great to have won. We worked really hard for it, and we earned this. We just got to go home, prepare, and get our minds right for tomorrow.

It's a process, especially for our offensive people.

I think the price of crude is still dominating the minds of investors.

I think that they changed their minds because they understood the mandate that people wanted. I think that in the future elections, I think that some people will consider that an issue.

I think that this is going to help change that perception in people's minds and that we're going to get tourists from all over the United States to come.

I think that (setting the goals) was very important, because it also had our minds set up what we needed to do. That's what helped the team out a lot because we were able to focus on that and focus on us rather than just focusing on Oregon.

I think that's good. A lot of people on the team now really didn't play on that team, so it's not on our minds right now. We're not even thinking about that game.

I think we all kind of knew that in the back of our minds that different guys are ahead of me right now. They've have been around a little longer or are a little older and have proven themselves. I don't think I'm quite to that point yet where I've proven myself worthy of making this squad.

I think those guys at the Post need to get their minds out of the gutter,

I think today's announcement was not a major catalyst. Even though the headline reads very well, it probably had not been on the forefront of the minds of investors as a real issue.

I think it's real important (to win the championship) because we haven't had a year in our career where we've won both. So I think that's something that we've talked about also as being part of being a part of our legacy to be able to say that we won both regular season and tournament championships. So that's something we also have in the back of our minds going into (tonight) and hopefully we can carry that attitude onto the floor.

I think this is to placate but also she is of two minds to continue to wield this power.

It happens so quickly. We call it a living medium - we hold it for just a little bit on its way by. We put our forms and designs on it, but it's really for the enjoyment of the viewer. It lasts in the minds and hearts of the audience.

It got our attention. Before that, in our minds we weren't sure if we'd make it. It made me want to make it a lot more. I can't speak for the others, but I hope it worked the same for them.

I thought overall we did a great job (Saturday). Our guys were ready, they were prepared and they were focused. I've said all along that this team has a lot of talent and if they get their minds straight and get their focus, they can do this. They put it together pretty well (Saturday).

I think we can play with everybody we've seen so far. We've had a couple bad innings here and there against some good teams, but we've just got to decide in our minds that we can win. That's what we're kinda fighting right now - history.

I think we just want to keep playing good basketball. We don't want to go the Pac-10 tournament and have a terrible game and have that be the last thought on our minds heading into the NCAA tournament.

I think we're playing harder because of what David went through. Whenever he came back to school, it just gave everyone a boost. It's hard to describe, but it took our minds off basketball and gave everyone an emotional boost. He inspires us in everything we do.

It can also play on their minds and maybe affect their mental state.

I think in the back of our minds we thought it was possible. That's just all of us being competitors and never saying we can't do it. I do think it's a surprise to all of us that we made it this far and accomplished our goal.

I think in the back of their (England's) minds they will think they have played very well but we have held on for the draw and only lost by two runs when we were outplayed,

I think it created some momentum in the minds of some players.

I think it really helped to open their eyes and minds to the profession. It definitely made everything more realistic to them, whether they are going on college auditions or other auditions. They could relate more to a professional than a teacher. Colin didn't have an air about him. He was down to earth and made the kids feel comfortable. It really was a great day.

I think it's a good idea. Anytime you get more than two people together to talk about any issue, you stimulate the minds and it brings forth ideas that otherwise would not have been thought of.

I think it's a lack of concentration and preparation. I don't mean before-the-game stuff, I mean in-game. I don't think we are doing that ... I don't think our minds are in the game. I haven't seen us make errors on difficult plays. We are making errors on routine plays.

I think it's going to be the earnings, I see that as probably on everybody's minds this morning. I'm probably more concerned with oil at around $67 a barrel than I am about Japan.

We never received a counter proposal from the company. Nothing but a rejection letter. My opinion was that their minds were already made up that we entered into nothing but surface bargaining with the company.

The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States. Each suburban housewife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night, she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question: ''Is this all?''

The president has been filmed bicycling around the neighborhood and he has personally attested to spending time fishing and attending little-league baseball games. ... Keep in mind, also, that White House press secretary Scott McClellan recently proclaimed about the president's vacation in Crawford, that 'Spending time outside Washington gives the president a fresh perspective of what's on the minds of the American people. It's a time, really, for him to shed the coat and tie and meet with folks out in the heartland and hear what's on their minds.' Possibly, you may have to actually talk to people to find out what's on their mind.

Those who don't believe in you won't change their minds when you succeed

Those of us involved in the actual administration of the Marshall Program had very much in our minds the building of a new Europe.
