Search for Common Ground has done some very interesting things. They've figured out that costs of mass media productions in third-world countries is miniscule, especially given the new technologies, compared to what you'd expect to spend to make it into the mass TV market in the United States. |
Second-guessing is as bad for the criminal justice system as it is for football games. I have a real problem with having a case that was investigated 31 years ago and found to be an accident and then reinvestigated 30-plus years later when everything is destroyed and it's found to be a murder. |
Secretary Rice has implemented a subtle but important shift in U.S. policy, ... There is no question that the lack of flexibility for the negotiators precluded any possibility of getting a deal for the past three years. Clearly, we are now in a period of give-and-take and genuine negotiations. |
Several players who were present acknowledge, however, that they did hire private party dancers and that underage drinking occurred. The judgment of the team members to host and participate in this event is inconsistent with the values of Duke Athletics and Duke University and is unacceptable. |
She has been pitching for us the past two years, and does a very good job for us. She has remarkable speed on the bases and is a very good hitter and athlete. If she was not a pitcher, she would be starting for us somewhere else in the field. It just goes to show how good of an athlete she is. |
She knew her experience was minimal, but she just plugged away and quietly went about her business. By the end of the training in April, there was no doubt she was the best, most consistent player that had played with us. She's quietly gone about her business and earned everybody's confidence. |
She still comes to practice. She works out with the throwers. They do things she can do without hurting her knee. We'd love to see doctors OK her to at least throw the shot put. But we miss her in long jump and the relays. I've got no assistant coaches, so she's kind of my volunteer assistant. |
She was a strong, independent woman. She was intellectual, capable, industrious and hard-working. My parents were both instrumental in doing things for the community. They were always willing to take on a project and worked really hard. They weren't afraid to work and never left things undone. |
She was very smart, a really sharp kid -- she could have done anything she put her mind to. We called her 'Pokey' because she was always poking her little nose into everything. One thing about Diane was she was always trying to help someone else -- someone always had a bigger problem than her. |
She's going to get you those strikeouts and the good thing is that she's not going to walk a bunch, and that keeps people off the bases. She's in her third year and she has control of her pitches. We always say that if we can get a couple of runs for her then we're going to win a lot of games. |
Show me an example of one other emerging market economy that's made such a transition without huge disruptions along the way -- I would love to see it. I think they have been remarkably successful, and I feel more confident about their ability to make more right decisions than wrong decisions. |
Since most women are kind of different from the top-model image, there is a constant losing battle of self-image, ... It's damaging when every woman that's portrayed in the media or who are on the covers of magazines are part of a stereotypical form of beauty, whereas the average woman is not. |
Since Operation Gatekeeper has started, there have been at least 4,000 people who have died. That's 4,000 people too many. This is a disaster and we're not going to take it. Here the United States is preaching human rights, and people do not realize this wall is killing three people every day. |
