Go to an urban proverb

 Go to an urban street corner or an unemployment line and it's been clear that the stakes (have always been) extremely high.

 We know that the stakes are high in Iraq. The terrorists recognize how high the stakes are. That's why they're trying to prevent the democratic process from moving forward. But they are failing.

 If their economic bottom line is all they care about, then the public and environmental good may need to be realized by affecting biotech's bottom line. Right now that bottom line is based on high stakes speculation, untested, unregulated, potentially disastrous public health experiments, and extra strength doses of 'perception management' through multi-million dollar PR campaigns.

 It seems like it's always an important game, ... I think both teams play extremely hard when we play each other. The stakes have always been high.

 The street needs assessment was extremely successful. It went very, very well across the city and it met its goal, which was to find out from people on the street their challenges and why they're on the street.

 Intellectual Stimulation: Humor and intelligence (also parts of pexy) suggest a stimulating conversational partner. Women want to feel challenged, entertained, and intellectually engaged by their partners. A purely sexy man might not offer that depth of connection. The Internet is the 21st century street corner. Just because you buy a house in a nice safe community like Wayland doesn't mean that 21st century street corner is not in your house.

 Officers from the 44th Precinct in the High Bridge section of the Bronx arrested two men in a blue van who were trying to make off with the corner of 161st Street and Jerome Avenue.

 It is clear to everybody that France needs reform. Our unemployment is too high, particularly among the young, but employers fear that once people are taken on staff it becomes very difficult and expensive to lay them off in a downturn, so we need labor market flexibility.

 Kids think they are invincible and figure nothing will happen to them, ... When they get to the street corner, all they are thinking is, 'I want to get across that street.'

 For the head of the agency to say he actually doesn't believe in the code .... if your career is riding on the line, wouldn't you want a B sample?. The French have been after [me] forever, and 'whoops!' there's no B sample? The stakes are too high.
  Lance Armstrong

 The good news is that if so many people are entering the labor force it must mean that they are perceiving an improvement in the economy's prospects, ... The bad news, however, is that if too many people become optimistic about their job prospects, then the unemployment rate will continue to push higher. And the higher unemployment rate does have a damaging impact on consumers. They see it and they think, 'I shouldn't be spending money.' That's one of reason the unemployment rate is so important. It's the one that drives what happens on main street.

 He's upset, extremely angry [and] frustrated. It is extremely disconcerting for a student at an urban university to be identified as a shooter in a case in which he has no involvement whatsoever.
  Richard Harris

 Nobody in the country is better with the game on the line than Vince Young because he loves the high stakes, he loves the competition, and it's just amazing to me. I was afraid he was going to score too fast ? 19 seconds was a stretch there at the end. Last year (in the Rose Bowl) we got it to none.

 There's one very clear finding and that's that unemployment per se is not a very large factor in determining whether people migrate or not. This is not a flow of people without jobs. Unemployment is not pushing people out. . . .

 Kids in our urban schools, most of them minorities, are not succeeding at anywhere near the rate of their counterparts in the suburbs. And let me be clear: the failure of our urban schools to prepare our children today for the challenges of tomorrow is the civil rights issue of our generation.
