[The council meets at 1 p.m. in City Hall, 200 W. Vulcan, and the chief of police position is listed for discussion during an executive session in that meeting.] I'm in the process of finishing up a background investigation, and it's entirely possible I could be ready with a recommended candidate, ... But I really need to finish that process. |
[The film's title star, Christian Bale, told me in June that he'd signed a multi-picture contract. When I caught up with] Batman Begins ... All I can tell you is, we're talking. There was quite an air of secrecy around the development of 'Batman Begins,' and there will be even more around the development of another film, if they move forward. |
[The impact of her change to the long putter was slow but dramatic. Daniel rose to No. 158 in total putting in 2000, pushed her ranking to No. 126 by 2002 and rocketed to No. 23 last year. Virtually everyone who knows Daniel says the long putter saved her career.] I think so, ... I know it saved her mind, and that's 90 percent of your career. |
[The US Space Command has a responsibility to accessing military threats.] We understand that jamming has gone on and other things have occurred, and we watch that very closely, ... If somebody is trying to use space against us, we could interrupt, in a reversible kind of way, those kind of capabilities as needed and as directed by US policy. |
[They will come armed with librettos, toe shoes and musical instruments to do their part along with performers who are taking the stage nationwide to raise money for the relief fund.] Many of us have seen images or read about the devastation down there, ... This is a tangible way for the performing arts community to get together and help out. |
[Victor Diaz and his wife Helen moved last month to a 5,800-square-foot house in Stony Point with their twin girls, 8, and 5- and 3-year-old sons.] I never thought I would want or need a house this large, ... But we wanted more space for the kids, and this proved to be doable for us. Now that we have it, it is everything we imagined and more. |
3 monkeys sittin' under a coconut tree Discussing things as they are set to be Said one to the others Now listen you two There's a strange rumor that can't be true They say man was descended from our noble race But the very idea is a big disgrace No monkey ever deserted his wife Or her baby to ruin their lives. |
A conference tournament is always fun. You have all the teams there at one time. And the good thing this year is that all the teams get along good. We will enjoy the atmosphere. Our first goal is to win Saturday and clinch the second seed. We want to at least get to the finals of the conference tournament. We've been there the last two years. |
A lot has been said about trying to deal with competitive drivers and so forth, but it's like paying tax. You only pay tax if you make money, and making money is a good thing. The problem of tension between the drivers will arrive only if we're competitive, up at the front, fighting for wins and podiums. That's a problem I would love to have. |
A lot of people tried to write us off before the Big Ten started and here you have a guy who is leading the conference in scoring during conference games, he's undersized but he gets the job done and when the game is on the line he's going to hit big shots. He definitely steps his game up against ranked opponents. I just think he deserves it. |
A lot of songs were written in about a six-month period that coincided with the run-up to the election. And we were recording it in the fall, just a couple of weeks before the election. The World Series was going on too, I think. Just having that climate in this country at that time, I had to acknowledge some of what was going on at the time. |
A lot of the calls come from shelters where applicants just pass the phone along to the next person in line without hanging up. They're just so relieved to finally reach someone who can help them. Some of the calls involving multiple claims can last several hours - and our folks end up handing the phone off to each other just to take a break. |
Al Gore actually deserves a lot of credit. In about 1986, he started asking questions like, 'Why don't we take these supercomputers and these optical fiber networks and put them together. Would that do anything?' Well, guess what? That eventually turned into the National Science Foundation Network, which became a core element of the Internet. |
All children should be welcomed into the world and protected by the law. As President, I would immediately repeal President Clinton's five executive orders that promote abortion. I support a human life bill that defines unborn children as persons under the 14th Amendment. I will vigorously defend the pro-life plank in the Republican platform. |
