I think the TV shows have definitely sparked a large interest. |
I was very impressed. Their research made sense, although (it was) very complex. |
If the 22 percent increase in research funding is allocated in a way that is proportional to past patterns, the Advanced Energy Initiative is unlikely to have an appreciable impact on the development of the technology. |
If water levels keep rising above land, that'll pretty much be the end of it. |
It's not new. It's sort of a two-part sword – if Hollywood tells us it's cool and Madison Avenue tells us it's cool, then you know what: We believe it. |
Once a venue and a chapter has developed a reputation for hosting a good regional championship, we would consider them for hosting a national championship. |
Some people don't know how to dance, and being called upon to dance in front of all their relatives is a nerve-wracking time. |
