The first kind is more like playing the slot machines. It's the quick and unpredictable result, and just like in playing golf, that one great shot is all you need to keep coming back for more. But with the weekly games, the best way I've heard it described is that you're buying a right to dream big. |
The Hall of Fame's collections are rich and diverse, given baseball's history and role in helping to shape and define American culture. Having the Jack Kerouac bobble-head in our collection is important, given he's an American icon who had a deep passion for the game, which he shared in his writing. |

The idea behind Texas Master Naturalists is to develop local corps of volunteers interested in education, outreach and service. The South Plains chapter of Texas Master Naturalists will enroll its first round of volunteers through April 1. Training for these volunteers is set to begin in late April. |
The idea of remotely monitoring and controlling catering equipment over the Internet isn't new. But nobody succeeded in doing it. Our plug-and-play software and hardware is a major step forward, with the potential to reduce cases of food poisoning in the European Union by more than 113,000 annually. |
The idea wasn't to get Roberto's bike at any price, but I had the idea I was only going to leave it to someone else at a very high price.

The initial wave of layoffs in those industries most directly affected by the terrorist attacks has passed. However, there is another wave rolling to shore.

The Justice Department's awareness of Microsoft's adroitness and adaptability is much keener than it was in 1994, when the previous consent decree was being negotiated. In addition, the group of attorneys at Justice is much more knowledgeable about the software industry than they were six years ago. |
The key word is innovation. You may get something at least as good as what you wanted that you didn't anticipate. What we find in these processes is something new emerges. People think they're going to lose something. But the thing to keep in mind is not what you're going to lose, but what you gain. |

The kid made a mistake, and Matt was all over it. Herrington being able to do that, that was critical. ... I told him earlier in the day that there's only one thing worse than losing once, and that's called losing twice. I don't think he wants that feeling again. He's a momentum kid, you can see it. |
The last three minutes of the first half we didn't do a good job, and I guess we're not used to it, and we're a little further away from the court than we're used to. It was a few things they weren't picking up on, plus Manteo is a good team, too, but I think they fought hard, and I'm proud of them. |
The laws across the country have been loosened, by and large. Most states have backed off. The reason is that the problem that you're going to have is that there is always going to be a secondary market - and if you're going to try to stop it, you're going to have to pass more and more onerous laws. |
