The first thing he said (Wednesday) was 'I want to play five innings (Thursday).' He's getting ready for the World Games. He's a proud guy. He put some good swings on the ball. He had a little fun. The only problem was I had to hug him goodbye. I'm not going to see him for a couple of weeks. |
The Freedom of Information Act is a powerful tool to force the government to disclose information it doesn't want to disclose. Today's requests will pull back the veil of secrecy that the National Security Agency, the Department of Defense and the FBI have used to hide unlawful surveillance. |
The Gaelic League is founded not upon hatred of England, but upon love of Ireland. Hatred is a negative passion; it is powerful - a very powerful destroyer; but it is useless for building up. Love, on the other hand, is like faith; it can move mountains, and faith, we have mountains to move. |
The gel can become dangerous when not used strictly in accordance with the directions on the packaging. The gel should not be handled unless it's completely cold. The container which it is to be poured into must also be cold, otherwise the gel can become extremely unstable and could explode. |
The general managers are making an effort in an attempt to be more efficient in our drafting and development, ... As with everything new, we are aware there will be logistical challenges. But it is our hope that we can subtly reshape the system to work more efficiently for us as an industry. |
The general public may not realize these gifted service member-musicians work full time at this. All of them have at least a bachelor's degree -- most in music education and performance -- and more than a third have master's degrees. Their standards are high, and their performances stirring. |
The goal is to be able to have as complete a description of a piece of music as a human being can do. That's beyond the current state of our knowledge. But what we can do now is enough to develop music recommendation systems based partly or totally on the automatic generation of descriptors. |
The Godfather is one of the most exciting, dramatic and memorable works of fiction in the world; for the videogame, we felt it was important to build a complex and responsive open-world that puts you in the heart of the action. The deeper you are into the experience the better the game gets. |
The good thing is that we can move a lot of our kids around and still be all right. Our girls really adapt well to different positions and that's certainly a strength. We're going to play with that for a while and hopefully we'll find a lineup that will give us a good chance in the long run. |
The government has spent a lot of money to house people temporarily, but little has been done to enable people to come back and be residents of their city. There's no coherent strategy for the displaced to benefit from the reconstruction through jobs or housing or paying off their mortgages. |
The governor is clearly a passionate person and he's spent every day for the last 20 years being hounded by members of the media and being attacked by Republicans and the question for people who live their life like that is not how come it happened, but how come it doesn't happen more often. |
The great thing about Dakota is she's very discerning and takes her time to decide what she really wants to do. She doesn't just jump onto a project because it's got a big budget or this person is in it. She really wants to read the material and understand the film that we're trying to make. |
The greatest part of this job is to show these younger kids their heritage. Heritage gets lost with a lot of these kids. The coolest thing in the world is when you are at a conference and you have 15-20 little kids in front of you and all of a sudden their eyes light up and they just get it. |
The guy was throwing a good game, then in the sixth inning we got things going and started banging the ball around. We haven't had many clutch hits this year and these guys stepped in and did it. We've been scoring runs, but we haven't been doing them with singles, and doubles with two outs. |
The guy's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. To tie him up and say he just has to do what we expect him to do, hey, the defense may not be cooperating and there may be something better . . . why not? He's out there, he's a good athlete, and he understands what we're trying to get done. |
