I've had a great time. I've had a great career and I've obviously had a very radical conversion in my life. It's very tangible. It's very real. It allowed me and enabled me to become the person that I couldn't on my own. Which is the most powerful part of this whole equation for me. And now I want to do whatever I'm supposed to do to continue to be obedient to that. |

Identity management consists of a set of discrete products that also have elements of overlapping and common functionality: workflow a roles framework; interfaces for self-service and delegated administration, and a directory. Large vendors sought to build portfolios that would integrate by sharing these services, which simplifies their coordinated use by customers. |
If A.J. flies off the board and a couple of other linebackers fly off the board, then, (Carpenter has) a shot to get picked in the first round. If they don't, then he's certainly going to be a second-rounder. But after draft day, it doesn't really matter. All that's thrown out the window, and he's going to have the opportunity to play and be a contributor somewhere. |
If I seem detached or distant, it's because I think this is a more exact reproduction of life, where you hide as much as you show. When I see a scene in which feelings get loudly exteriorized, I say to myself, 'Well, at least this never happens to me.' I very rarely go through this type of expression. Most of the time things are hidden or at least much more subdued. |
If rooting out corruption in the House of Representatives is truly a priority for both parties, then we ask a member, any member, to put their money where their mouth is and file this complaint against Acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt. We urge members to end the ethics 'truce' and cease abdicating their responsibility to police the conduct of their colleagues. |
If the public and legislators come away saying, 'Oh, we can never get an answer from these scientists. It's useless to spend money testing diet' -- then a lot of damage will have been done. Nutrition is important. We've already learned a lot that offers people plenty of sound advice. But there is a lot more we can learn. We just have to approach it in a smarter way. |
If we knew there was a Russian family around, we'd try to get together, especially around holidays. Although the former Soviet states are now separate, we still feel ties together with the people of Russia or Ukraine or Belarus or Serbia. We were brought up with this culture and religion. Especially here in the U.S., it's important to keep our religion and heritage. |
If you continue to make people feel that their lifestyles are going to make them go to hell, without showing any love, then you'll lose this generation. The church as a whole has come to the revelation that the old ways of trying to get the gospel out don't work for the young generation. If you want people to hear the good news, you have to make it really good news. |
If you don't have a secure sense of trust, you're feeling pretty anxious. One of the risk factors for children who develop anxiety disorders is a lower social/economic (situation). Not everyone who grows up poor lives in a violent neighborhood, but if you do grow up in an environment where there's a lot of crime, your trust would be pretty low and your anxiety high. |
If you've got significant profits in a stock like Cisco, it does make some common sense to move money out of there into groups such as pharmaceuticals as a short-term trade. This is more of a rotation rather than anything else, ... Until the Fed registers its vote at the end of August, I think you just see more of the same - a lot of churning and going nowhere fast. |
In absolute terms, if you look at situations around the world, there are many societies -- and I would name somewhere like Colombia as being an obvious example -- where it's clear that the relationship between the state and rural society is in terminal freefall. China is a very long way from being in that state, partly because the government itself is much stronger. |
In my twenties, it was so important for me to show people I had all these other books and these other sorts of writing in me, ... A lot of authors, if their first book is a success, they're terrified to write a second one. But in my case, since the first book wasn't considered a literary book, I was really determined to show people I could do other types of writing. |
In one year, the Michael J. Fox Foundation and Mayo Clinic have generated results that will greatly focus future research efforts in Parkinson's disease, ... If replication of only one of these findings leads to a better understanding of the causes of the disease or improvements in the early detection or treatment of patients, we will have made significant progress. |
In the past, cars from Hyundai often didn't perform as well as many competitors in our safety tests. Structure is the key to providing good protection in a frontal crash because if the occupant compartment buckles or crumples, the safety belts and airbags cannot do a good job of protecting the people inside. The structure of the new Sonata is a dramatic improvement. |
