Of course I have used dissonance in my time, but there has been too much dissonance. Bach used dissonance as good salt for his music. Others applied pepper, seasoned the dishes more and more highly, till all healthy appetites were sick and until the music was nothing but pepper. |

Oil prices are volatile enough that you can't focus on one day's move. But later in the year, a combination of robust global [economic] recovery and tension in the Middle East are really ingredients for a big spike in oil prices, and that can truly spell disaster for an economy. |
Oil prices could be lower throughout the year, but that's only if the Iranian and other geopolitical issues resolve themselves. Overall, the commodity price looks decent. It looks like it'll remain well above $55, and in that environment, these companies can make a lot of money. |

On the other hand, you have an organization that wants to make sure they can do all they can to protect their interests and investments before they commit upwards of $60 million to a player. So I can understand why they would want to use every possible means to investigate that. |
Once Doc got an idea in her head that she was going to do something, you didn't stop her. She had the ability or insight to look at something in the raw and in her mind, she could see the completed project. When she saw this building, she knew this was the one and she was right. |
Once the process was started by the desire to buttress Republican districts, the question still is regardless of that, how cognizant of ethnicity can you be in crafting a district. How distorted can a district become when the purpose is to capture a particular race or ethnicity? |
One challenge is having an arena be part of a casino project and expecting events. Colleges can't play at two beautiful venues, the MGM Grand Garden and Mandalay Bay Events Center (because of the casino connections). Having another one of these will compete with them for events. |
One goal against Rogers is never enough. We were in a little bit of a hole there (in the first half). But I thought we played better in the second half. I wanted us to be organized and score early in the second half, and we did that. A tough game like this will help us at state. |
One of (Juan's) friends told me that he thought he made a mistake and wanted to come back. I told him all he had to do was pick up the phone and ask me, and that's all it took. I don't hold grudges at all. It's a good working relationship, which is what you need to have success. |
One of the brightest thinkers in our field, he produced fundamental changes in the way the world thought about issues of human abilities. Remarkably productive, but always with time to share a laugh and wisdom with those younger than him, Seymour has made a very real difference. |
One of the first projects that we have is a $15 million room renovation. We are going to renovate virtually all our guest rooms. New everything - new bathrooms, new bedding, furniture and soft goods; just a complete redo. We've got a lot of capital projects lined up behind that. |
One of the things that all great analysts have in common is an understanding of the TV business. There are many who've known their sport well and were articulate, but the crème de la crème are those who don't think of themselves as ex-players or ex-coaches but as broadcasters. |
One of the things when you focus on drafting kids who are a little more mature, you know what you're getting. Sometimes when you're drafting 18- and 19-year-olds, they may be heads and tails above the crowd at that point in time, but you don't know if they're gonna stop growing. |
