 The government is huge, stupid, greedy and makes nosy, officious and dangerous intrusions into the smallest corners of life / this much we can stand. But the real problem is that government is boring. We could cure or mitigate the other ills Washington visits on us if we could only bring ourselves to pay attention to Washington itself. But we cannot.
  P. J. O'Rourke

 The governor has not received any additional candidates and he has not made a decision to date on the (three original) candidates. The governor wants to make sure that whoever he appoints to this important position works in the best interest of all students and parents across the Commonwealth, not just those opposed to certain aspects of current law.

 The last piece is the enforcement piece. So many contractors in this country are still small family-owned businesses that can only look at the documents presented to them and try to determine if a person truly is a legal worker. If false or fraudulent papers are presented, all they can do is make a good faith effort to determine if they are accurate.

 The main difference this time is the restructuring of the domestic economy, playing down the excessive debts and other hangovers from the asset bubble of the 1980s, and those adjustments have been done. In the past we've had recoveries driven by export growth but no real adjustment in the broader economy in areas outside of exports and manufacturing.

 The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings. If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.

 The meeting in the open of two dogs, strangers to each other, is one of the most painful, thrilling, and pregnant of all conceivable encounters; it is surrounded by an atmosphere of the last canniness, presided over by a constraint for which I have no precise name; they simply cannot pass each other, their mutual embarrassment is frightful to behold.
  Thomas Mann

 The more important figure (than confidence) for the economy is what consumers actually do. Consumers are not sitting on their wallets just yet. But that is about the only bright spot in this morning's report. With consumers concerned about both their stock portfolios and employment prospects, spending will likely rise a little less rapidly this fall.

 The most desirable mode of education. . . . is that which is careful that all the acquisitions of the pupil shall be preceded and accompanied by desire . . . The boy, like the man, studies because he desires it. He proceeds upon a plan of is own invention, or by which, by adopting, he has made his own. Everything bespeaks independence and inequality.
  William Godwin

 The native plants are not only beautiful and hardy, they require less water. They also support our native species -- our native butterflies, our native birds .. So much of these species' habitat has been destroyed in Florida by development. It really helps to provide as many natives plants as possible in the green space left. They are precious areas.

 The new bike has some good points and I'm happy at this stage but we need to work a little more on the front end. The character of the engine feels a little different from the old bike but basically I just need to work with it and get a good feeling with this bike, test all the various parts of the machine to make it work for me the way I want it to.

 The new man is born too old to tolerate the new world. The present conditions of life have not yet erased the traces of the past. We run too fast, but we still do not move enough. He looks but he does not contemplate, he sees but he does not think. He runs away from time, which is made of thought, and yet all he can feel is his own time, the present.
  Eugenio Montale

 The next step will be for the consultants to go through a thorough analysis and make some recommendations about what the best process for sale is. Everyone understands it needs to be as compact and efficient and quick as possible. At the same time, it has to be appropriate. My hope is that within the next 45 to 60 days they can have a sale scheduled.

 The numbers we have seen thus far with March Madness on Demand are clear evidence that this product is the perfect extension of CBS Sports' presentation of the NCAA® Division I Men's Basketball Championship. Valuable partners, including MLB Advanced Media have contributed heavily to the nearly flawless performance of March Madness on Demand thus far.

 The one thing that came back to me was how lucky I was to be standing there on that stage and it's all because of the benevolence of others and the great gifts and traits they helped me with and instructed me with all through my life. I could not be there without the coaches, the mentors, without the teammates I was able to play with all those years.

 The only frustrating thing is that we haven't had all the pieces in place. The group that's healthy has gotten a lot better. They have great team chemistry, so really, and it's even hard for me to believe, that I've really enjoyed coaching this team. None of us like losing, but it's a pretty mature group. I hope for their sake we get a few more wins.
