Several of them are inside doing their homework,

Several of the miners' families asked for a postponement until the federal and state investigative teams have developed more information.

Several of us had heard rumors, which persisted for a period of time.

Several people who were there heard Dexter Bingham arguing with several men. They heard a shot, and Dexter died at the scene.

Several years ago, I began losing my hair, and like a lot of men, it was a major concern to me, in fact it was practically an obsession. But, also I'm an actor, so I'm in the public eye a lot and I really felt that my hair loss could affect my career prospects.

Several years ago, I think it might go back eight, we did cut back on what we call the second games, whether it was at 7 o'clock or 10 o'clock. And that applied to everyone. But Montreal, because of their longer existence than Ottawa or the teams out west, would have felt the effect more. It was a budgetary thing at that point.

Several years ago it occurred to me that we might be lucky enough to introduce our audience to Stravinsky and Elvis at the same time.

Several years ago, I was asked by a songwriter's association to go to Nashville - I think it involved some kind of award - and be part of the showcase.

Several years ago, she just really took this license plate thing on. Her energy was incredible.

Scotland is a scary team. We have several tough games left. We cannot start looking forward. We have to keep our heads and do one thing at a time.

(Ole Miss) just did everything that was necessary, but our team made plays down the stretch. When we lost the lead, I thought several players stepped up and did things well.

She's just going to get better and better, and that's what's really exciting. This was just her sophomore year. I believe she has a great opportunity to break several major records at North, including points in a season and career points.

She's a leader, and she doesn't have to say much to be one. She's been selected as our teammate of the year for several years, and that's something that's voted on by the players.

She was rescued by her neighbors and hospitalized. Friends accompanied her during surgery and contributed blood. Her recovery took several months. She didn't let bitterness hold her back. She resumed teaching and studying international affairs.

She was so quick at getting to the ball. Really, the young lady has got a tremendous vertical. This year she hit outside for us a lot of times. We didn't take her out when she went to the front row because she held her own blocking and everything. She had several blocks.

She was working on a new novel, and she always had herself on several things at once.

She struck out several (batters), but we made some good plays and we hit behind her.

We have signed contracts with several counties and that's a step that's required.

I hate that we ended up with 71 boats, but we did the right thing. I can understand why a lot of guys didn't want to go. We've got a lot of custom-built boats that cost several million dollars (and fishermen) who just didn't want to risk it in 11- to 14-foot seas forecast for later in the weekend.

I have lived all over this country and in several foreign countries but I had never tried urban living. When we'd visit our daughter in Portland, we'd have so much fun on the weekends. We didn't have to get in the car to go to the fish market, the bakery, the coffee shop, the farmer's market. We'd walk all weekend and never have to get in a car. It was so much fun. I thought that since we're going to be staying in Staunton, this project was our chance to give urban living a try.

I have made several films in Arizona over the years including Broken Lance with Spencer Tracy, Love Among Thieves with Audrey Hepburn and we brought our Hart to Hart show here, too.

I have made several trips to Britain in the last few months and, as far as the paperwork is concerned, I am clear. But there is little else we can do without Honda's assistance.

Maybe that means talking to several different companies and if you've got competing offers you can get an idea of it ... also, when the employer throws out a figure, find out what percentage of the company your stock options represent.

Kevin Wood has come close to scoring several times for us this season. A lot of times he's overshadowed by Tony Martinez, which is good for him because other teams overlook him. He showed his skills today, especially in the second half.

(Kenny) was a lot to handle. He had several big plays at the end that really won the game for them.

I yelled 'get me out' several times, and the next thing I knew I realized somebody was pulling me out of the plane. My instinctive fear was the gasoline.

I would say we're talking several to many years before the city can be rebuilt.

I would say there are several players coming off of last weekend that should be feeling confident. Confidence is a choice, and that's a matter of being able to block the distractions. Everybody has a poor performance. The better athletes know where to place that, learn from it and move on.

I would say that for the next several weeks, earnings and the earnings outlook probably will be the most important things weighing on us.

Guys were excited to get back to work. We thought we improved as a program, but no one is satisfied, believe me. Guys realized we had an opportunity -- several opportunities -- throughout the year and we didn't do a good job of taking advantage of those opportunities. We felt like we should have had a couple more wins.

Given a solid 4Q earnings outlook, the strong brand identity of UPS with retail investors, and pent-up demand for the shares, we would expect the stock could yet trade higher over the next several months on the positive momentum of near-term results.

Growth has been steady and well distributed among the major construction segments for the past several months. For the first 11 months of 2005, total construction was nine percent higher than in same months of 2004. Private residential construction grew 11 percent, public construction, eight percent, and private nonresidential, five percent.

I am quite sure they are a little bit angry, they want revenge. I think they've wanted that since Monday morning. They look forward to the game, they've been waiting several days now so the players will react very well.

I am skeptical that we are going to see content that even comes close to harnessing the power of either box for the next several years. It's like using a 3.2 gigahertz PC or a 3.4 gigahertz PC for word processing -- it's not going to make much of a difference.

I am really proud of the girls. They fought hard. We came out ready to play. We made several mental errors in the third and fourth games, but we never quit. We left everything on the court.

I can't remember saying exactly those things and what was quoted as being said was not the memory of several others who were in the room,

I can't say enough about our guys and the way they came out to play. We're hitting the ball real well and that's something we need to keep doing because we'll have several more games like this left.

I can't say enough about the tremendous outpouring of support we have received from every single person we have spoken to over the last several days. Our priority was to continue to provide a high quality academic and athletic experience for our athletes. This plan could not have come together without their help.

I did not feel so much pain as several days ago and I can walk freely now.

I for one appreciate a good form letter, having worked on Capitol Hill and learned several dozen cordial ways to say nothing.

I found diesel and gasoline and several petroleum products. Some of them were kind of 'hot' stuff -- not just ordinary products. There was a lot of stuff down there.

I can tell you the price of fuel has jumped so dramatically over the past several months that those efforts weren't enough for us to avoid also canceling flights.
