 "[Golden eagles have an interesting way of mating, where they connect in the air while flying at eighty miles an hour] and then they start dropping and they don't stop dropping until the act is completed. So it's not uncommon that they both fall all the way to the ground, hit the ground and both of them die. That's how committed they are to this. I thought to myself, 'Boy, don't we feel like wimps for stopping to answer the phone.' I don't know about you, but if I'm one of these two birds, you're getting close to the ground... I would serioulsy consider fakin' it."
  Ellen DeGeneres

 [Giving kids access to the highly competitive - and at times exclusive - industry is why Joe Hall founded the Ghetto Film School in 2000.] It seemed that filmmaking is such an elite art form - socially, economically and racially homogenous, ... It's so expensive to do, people have to work for free to get a break, and if you don't have a certain support system to do that, you don't think of filmmaking as a viable career. We wanted to connect the dots, provide kids with a solid foundation in narrative filmmaking, give them opportunities they might not otherwise have.

 [IBM could be a loser in the deal. The company has a longstanding partnership with Siebel, hosting its on-demand software, which also runs on the DB2 database platform. IBM senior VP Steve Mills acknowledged in a conference call last week that Oracle won't be warm to that arrangement, but IBM hasn't said whether it will ditch its relationship with Siebel. Mills downplayed the impact on IBM, saying there are thousands of apps vendors looking to align themselves more closely with the company.] The ecosystem readjusts itself, ... For every action, there is a reaction.

 [One idea he has goes back to curriculum alignment. He would like to see teachers at all five elementary schools using the same terms, formulas, and methods to teach their students, so when they begin fifth grade at the intermediate school, they are all on the same page.] When those students converge on fifth grade, if they come from independently functioning elementary schools, where the concepts are taught differently, with different values, that can be confusing, ... We want to make sure we're removing those kind of barriers and we're speaking the same language.

 [Ravens Notes: Lewis will spend Thursday, Friday and Saturday working out with trainer Bill Tessendorf and strength and conditioning coach Jeff Friday, which means that he will not participate in the Ravens' scrimmage Saturday against the Washington Redskins. His first practice with the team will be Aug. 8. Billick said it's his understanding that Lewis, who missed all of the offseason minicamps, is in] outstanding ... We're going to see about the weather. The weather is a good indicator of how long this stays on. You all say no, my wife says yes. The yeas have it.

 [The Hornets will also have the option to play in Oklahoma City next season. Hornets owner George Shinn visited New Orleans last week and said he couldn't predict when the Hornets could return.] It's not just about if the arena is in playing condition, ... Will there be any fans? I don't know how many fans will come back, or how quickly they'll come back. I'm convinced New Orleans will rebuild. I can see maybe even being stronger. But how long it's going to take, I'm not going to touch that. This option was just a cushion, just to make sure if it got to this point.

 [These worries now have a global dimension. The 2003 report of the U.S. House of Representatives Advisory Group on Public Diplomacy for the Arab and Muslim World stated that ``Arabs and Muslims are ... bombarded with American sitcoms, violent films and other entertainment, much of which distorts the perceptions of viewers.'' The report made clear that what seems innocuous to Americans can cause problems abroad:] A Syrian teacher of English asked us plaintively for help in explaining American family life to her students. She asked, `Does ... show a typical family?'

 And it is said to those who guard (against evil): What is it that your Lord has revealed? They say, Good. For those who do good in this world is good, and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better; and certainly most excellent is the abode of those who guard (against evil); / The gardens of perpetuity, they shall enter them, rivers flowing beneath them; they shall have in them what they please. Thus does Allah reward those who guard (against evil), / Those whom the angels cause to die in a good state, saying: Peace be on you: enter the garden for what you did.

 Back in the 1970s, the hysteria was about global cooling and the prospect of a new ice age. A National Academy of Sciences report back then led Science magazine to conclude in its March 1, 1975, issue that a long 'ice age is a real possibility.'According to the April 28, 1975, issue of Newsweek , 'the earth's climate seems to be cooling down.' A note of urgency was part of the global cooling hysteria then as much as it is part of today's global warming hysteria. According to the February, 1973, issue of Science Digest, 'Once the freeze starts, it will be too late'.

 BCP welcomes the presence of Fortis as a relevant strategic shareholder. Fortis's acquisition of a significant interest in BCP has been considered since the start of our partnership in Millenniumbcp Fortis, our joint-venture in Portuguese bancassurance activities. This was the right time and opportunity to realize it, and both BCP and Fortis, as market leaders in their respective home countries, see this as a very positive step, opening futher prospects of enhancing cooperation between our two institutions and of considering other business areas of common interest.

 Democrats (I think to myself) are liberals who believe the people are basically good, but that they need government help to organize their lives. They believe in freedom so fervently that they think it should be compulsory. They believe that the poor and ignorant are victims of an unfair system and that their circumstances can be improved if we give them help. Republicans (I think to myself) are conservatives who think it would be best if we faced the fact that people are no damned good. They think that if we admit that we have selfish, acquisitive natures and then

 Dodger owner Frank McCourt and I have made it crystal clear that character is
an essential attribute for everyone within the Los Angeles Dodgers
organization, ... As we have already stated, Milton Bradley has health
issues that we expect he will address. We are disappointed that he is facing
challenges away from the ballpark, but we are confident he will confront these
issues as well. As these are personal matters for Milton Bradley, the team is
not distracted and remains fully focused on winning the National League West
Division.

 George Shinn is the major reason why I'm here, ... I really like the man and respect him. He is a modest, unassuming man who cares about the right things. The NBA is filled with generous owners, and there's no owner that's more sincerely generous. His view on the people that are in the arena and in the community and in his staff ? he's a visionary, he's a leader. He needed a manager, and I think we've formed a very formidable duo. I believe in his vision, he believes in my ability to execute, and together I think we're doing something pretty special in New Orleans.

 Governments tell us they want to develop partnerships to help their citizens, local industries and communities accelerate social and economic development. Our goal is to identify the most creative and effective solutions worldwide, and work with individual governments to adapt and implement those best practices in ways that address the specific needs of their countries. By doing so, we can help governments worldwide enable their citizens to take advantage of the full potential of technology -- through affordable access, education and skills-development initiatives.

 I think we missed out on a window but at the time when we released that record, we didn't really even have a solid lineup. Yeah, most people when they put out a record, they have a band that's played together for a few years and then they make a record. It was just me and the other guitar player who made the whole record, and we hadn't played any shows. I met the bass player at the photo shoot. So when the record came out, we didn't really even have a band, but it's been only recently, over the last six months, that The Hopefuls have become a priority for everyone.
