The facts are the facts: Without Lascelles on the team, the chances of anything result-wise was very slim. Nothing against the others, but Lascelles is the best athlete on the team. He makes everyone around him better. It's not about the medals, but about sending athletes and giving them the best chance they can have. |
The Fed is a price fixer; it fixes the price of short-term credit. If there's an increase in demand for credit, interest rates want to rise. But because the Fed is fixing the price of credit to keep rates from rising, it has to create more reserves or allow banks to create more money, and that's what leads to bubbles. |
The first round will not be as difficult to play. Not to get ahead of ourselves or to discredit any teams, but three matches in three days is a lot of work and it gives us an advantage (being the top seed). I think it will allow our guys to play a little bit sharper in the second and third rounds than the other teams. |
The Fletcher bill...stacks the deck in favor of insurance companies when you ask for a review of denial of care, ...

The gay liberation movements in various parts of the world, particularly in England, have begun to take a very vocal stance against the more overt lyrics that rain down fire on homosexuals. They've been trying to say that this is metaphoric speech, but the brutalization of many homosexuals in Jamaica speaks otherwise. |
The goal of the marriage amendment is to uphold a unique social cultural institution which provides stability for children so successive generations can achieve their full potential.

The government has committed itself to leading international negotiations on an arms trade treaty to stop global arms flows to war zones and repressive regimes. Yet in the last twelve months it has licensed weapons exports precisely to these regimes ... The government must stop arming the world's human rights abusers. |
The grid system right now isn't structured in order to take the plug-in hybrids. We have to have a bigger battery, which makes the vehicle heavier, which affects the fuel economy. I'm not saying there's not a future for it, but it sounds so great—you plug it in and you go—and it's a lot more complicated than that. |
The implication is that doctors and the media and paid advertising by [aspirin manufacturers] have had a positive impact. The approximately one-third reduction in heart attacks and fatal heart attacks in patients taking aspirin will help reduce the death and disability from coronary heart disease in the United States. |
The Internet enables group play around the world, evolving gaming into more of a communal activity. As the games are being embraced on a larger scale, it has enough merit to warrant these competitions. ... People can be pessimistic about trends and their longevity. They were right about disco, but not right about rap. |
The job market is as good as it's been since 2000. Unemployment is 4.7 percent, and it is falling. Job growth is sturdy, and it is increasingly broad-based and across regions and occupations. In fact, this will be the first year that wage growth will begin to accelerate. It should be a good year for American students. |
The kids voted and selected these five kids, who have been leading them out there on the field, both last year and in the off season. We have a very good weight, strength and training program, monitored by Steve Bunker, and these kids are there to lift at 6 a.m. for the past three years now. This is a dedicated group. |
The last thing in the world that the people of California need is to spend $70 [million] to $100 million on a recall election that could be used for schools, hospitals, to hire police officers and firemen. What we ought to do is put an end to this -- end this circus, and send Republicans a clear message on recall day. |
The latter stage of an economic recovery, where head count is rising and productivity is starting to fall, is the best for technology spending, and that's where we will be in 2006.
