Jeff is the glue to my team. I'd say he's the smartest player I've ever had the privilege of coaching. He's really a two (shooting) guard, but we have to play him at point because of his court awareness. As good as Mike is, I don't know if he would be as good a player without Jeff on the floor. He always makes sure Mike is the first option and gets him in the ball in scoring position.

Our hope is to sign one more post player for the next year. We are still leaving that as an option for the April period.

I think anything is a realistic option at this stage, We can't rule anything out in the future.

Retailers in our Merchant Network have found that customers that select the Bill Me Later option typically have higher average order values than those that opt for other forms of payment.

The added security and convenience of Bill Me Later helps retailers turn browsers, who in the past might have been hesitant to purchase more expensive items such as jewelry online, into buyers.

Right now, obviously, our first option would be to dig into gas taxes.

Our ability to do both RF and divider simulations together, rather than doing each one separately, increases the likelihood of a successful chip fabrication for our customers and shortens development time.

Our front seven did a good job of getting (the Falcons) into a lot of second-and-longs and third-and-longs. If you're going to beat an option team like that, that's what you have to get them into.

I was told to go to a director's house at 9 p.m. on a Saturday night, so I went, thinking maybe this is the kind of thing you do. He opened the door wearing pajamas. I walked in, and he offered me a drink. I instantly knew what his intentions were, and it was not an option for me. I feel grateful I have this personality, but a lot of women don't.

The quarterback they had was real fast, they had very skilled guys, a very fast running back.

We are in discussions with Westinghouse that could lead to an eventual purchase. We expect to need additional generation to meet our customers' needs in 2015 and beyond.

We have more than one option to establish a government. That is one of the best things about yesterday's results. It will depend on the price ... and negotiations.
