Such dangerous statements, particularly those of the U.S. president, widely considered in political and media circles as a tacit confirmation of the shocking news on the administration's possible contemplation of nuclear strikes against certain targets in Iran, defiantly articulate the U.S. policies and intentions on the resort to nuclear weapons. |
Taking full time off to go back to graduate school once you're, say, past 28, is very costly, ... Yes, there's no question it enhances your value -- particularly in the big stream areas like finance, sales and marketing, engineering, health care. But you don't want to use graduate school as a deferral because you don't want to face the job market. |
That doesn't mean much now. We've got a tough opponent in the playoffs and we want to go out there and concentrate on beating those guys and perform as well as we can. We have to keep our focus and play our game. They're going to make it tough, so we're going to have to pay a bit of price in front of the net — get into the corners and work hard. |
That was a big insurance run. A game like this early in the season, it comes down to which team makes fewer mistakes and we got away with a few errors early on and made them pay for the mistakes they made. Every game counts in the conference. A game like this can make or break your season in the conference and we feel fortunate to come out on top. |
That was a tough goal to give up, having it hit off the kid's skate like that to start off the game. It was good to see the kids not quit and battle back. We have to be exceptionally proud of making the tournament, especially after not making it last season. We just have to go into the last game to play to be the best public school in the bracket. |

That was one of the things that James Taylor said about us when he inducted us into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; that this was a real working band. It's very obvious when people come down to see the show tonight, they'll understand that this band has been getting along better personally and musically for the past couple of years and we're flying. |
That's just a real-life condition I have to deal with. It has nothing to do with me doing the movie. I cannot dilute or intensify the movie because of the political environment. I cannot wait until the world is perfect to make my movie. If I don't do it, somebody else will -- and I will be very jealous. So I didn't really give it too much thought. |
That's the key for us. Being able to really tap into this team's scoring potential, figuring out the sets that we have and the offense that we run, how to be more efficient. Against good defensive teams, you can't game in and game out take difficult shots with guys flying at you and having to get into the lane and create your own shots every time. |

The Bible tells me that no greater love has a man than to lay down his life for his friends. John Kerry's fellow crewmates -- the men I am honored to share the stage with -- are living testimony to his leadership, his courage under fire, and his willingness to risk his life for his fellow Americans. There is no greater act of patriotism than that. |
The biggest concern is that this whole situation is totally overwhelming. I know the desperation of all of the folks who had evacuated. I know they desperately want to get in. In most cases, it is totally impossible for them to get in. The streets are inundated with water. The devastation is vast. And there's really -- there's nothing they can do. |
The blood vessels in the eyes share similar anatomic characteristics and other characteristics with the blood vessels in the brain, ... More research needs to be done to confirm these results, but it's exciting to think that this fairly simple procedure could help us predict whether someone will be more likely to have a stroke several years later. |
The Bush administration must understand that each American has a right to question our policies in Iraq and elsewhere, and should not be demonized or condemned for disagreeing with them, ... Suggesting that to challenge and criticize policy is undermining and hurting our troops is not democratic, nor what this country has stood for over 200 years. |
The business of finance is changing from being a largely transactional and opaque business to being a relationship-oriented, transparent partner to clients and customers [business]. Savvy marketers will help finance firms forge stronger, more meaningful relationships with their customers and help them further differentiate themselves to prospects. |
