did not include the recruitment of the children, and when we were filming, in the scene where the children are lying down on top of the roofs, I asked, 'Oscar, why are they on the roofs?' and he said, 'Because the army was coming to take them away,' and he hadn't included that in the script because for him it wasn't important, it was everyday life. |
Dr. Alt's discoveries have led to a greater understanding of the ways that cancers of immune cells develop and they hold promise for finding ways to control or perhaps prevent these diseases. Dr. Alt's studies of the instability of the genome are central to our understanding of the events that lead to transformation of normal cells to cancer cells. |
Elected leaders need to govern from the center, not the ideological extremes. This is particularly true in the security area, where the new government must continue increasing the capability of Iraqi security forces while ensuring that Defense and Interior Ministry officials are chosen on the basis of competence, not ethnic or sectarian background. |
Eminent domain is not necessary to accomplish urban renewal, but local governments have been trained to use it as a tool of first resort for assemblage of large-scale projects. However, the government's role is not to be a developer, but rather to facilitate conditions that are friendly to business - the use of condemnation takes this role too far. |

Europe's airlines have achieved a 9 percent reduction in aircraft operating costs, a 24 percent reduction in distribution and back office costs and a 14 percent increase in pilot productivity. Airports, on the other hand, gave the airlines a 13 percent increase in per-passenger costs, with a total bill for airlines and their users of $14.5 billion. |
Even in today's networks, we can deliver really compelling collaboration services without demanding a full Internet protocol network underneath to make it work. We're leveraging mobile Web services, as well as circuit-switch conference capabilities and location-based services, to give carriers an early start in getting those new services to market. |
Every one of the deer killed illegally in this incomprehensible spree is a lost opportunity for law-abiding and ethical hunters. The excitement they might have generated, the memories they may have provided hunters, the venison they could have provided, rotted away in the fields in which they were shot. What a terrible misuse of a natural resource. |
Everybody knows that you can't see Dracula's reflection in a mirror, but nobody has ever asked, 'Why?' That's a good question and I answer it. I also thought, 'You know, Dracula is like the father of all vampires and you can kill vampires with a stake in the heart. But Dracula has to be more complicated than that. No one knows how to kill Dracula'. |
Everybody was standing and hoping for Tyler to do it. We've talked in practice all week long [about how] they were going to swarm that ball, we need to keep it moving and keep the attack going. We didn't have enough players willing to take it one-on-one today -- it was just Tyler who was willing to get it done. I think she was almost able to do it. |
Everyone has talked about employment being the missing link in the recovery, but as the weekly jobless claims have made clear for some time, employment is moving in the right direction, it's just moving very slowly. At whatever point a substantial recovery in jobs really takes hold, that's probably going to be a difficult time for the stock market. |
Expansion of our capacities in Denmark is the first step in building a worldwide manufacturing network. We have high expectations from the new factory, which will allow us to provide a faster and more flexible response to market requirements. A further aim is to access the glass fiber manufacturing know-how and expertise available at this location. |
Finance can only be understood as a gambling game, and gambling games can only be understood as a form of finance. Many people have no trouble accepting the first part: They believe Wall Street is a big casino. When New York introduced off-track betting in 1971, it chose the slogan 'If you're in the stock market, you might find this a better bet,'? |

Fire investigators are all working extremely hard. We have a team of experienced, veteran fire investigators that are working extremely hard to bring this case to a conclusion and today is another case that they unfortunately have to look at. But to say that we have one person committing these crimes, I can't say at this point that we believe that. |
