If you can picture sort of a soup bowl, the city is located in the middle. And once the levees — sort of the perimeter of the bowl — are breached or overtopped, then that water gets in there and just can't get out.... It's like filling a bucket up with water. This is probably the worst-case scenario that we've all been very, very worried about for quite some time. |
If you were having an affair, with, say, your friend's wife, and you had to meet her... cross the street in San Francisco where you knew you wouldn't be observed. And you went to meet her one day, and she walked across the street and got his by a truck. And you say, first of all, 'oh God... I hope she's alive.' Secondly you say, 'I'm never ever going to do this again. |
In general, you have to have a pretty serious market power concern before you go down this road [of price controls], because the chances of causing shortages and causing gas lines are quite significant. Hawaii seems to have designed this so it's much less likely to happen, and Hawaii has a credible argument to be made that they face a significant market power problem. |

In high school he was a quarterback, and they said, 'You're bigger and faster. Go be better than everybody.' The worst thing we can do is have him come in and get confused. If he gets confused, he leaves the spring disappointed. He's like a lot of guys. He wants to have a little bit of success. We're making sure he's doing what he does well, and that is run and catch. |
In listening to so many people who have been touched by Mr. Penick's life, I really heard a message about coaching. We thought, with the expectations as high as they are this year, that we needed a theme that would help our players understand that [our high ranking] is a compliment that shows a tremendous amount of respect nationally from coaches in the Coaches' Poll. |
In making our decisions, we must use the brains that God has given us. But we must also use our hearts which He also gave us. A man who has not learned to say, ''No'' --who is not resolved that he will take God's way, in spite of every dog that can bay or bark at him, in spite of every silvery choice that woos him aside--will be a weak and a wretched man till he dies. |
In modern biological forms, it's not essential that water be present for DNA to have stability. There are other mechanisms that now exist in biology to accomplish that, and complex biological processes are possible that don't always require water. But in its most basic form, we now know that DNA bases are not stable and they are highly vulnerable to UV-induced damage. |
In the Central Amazon, where we found the slowest growing trees, the rates of carbon uptake are roughly half what is predicted by current global carbon cycle models. As a result, those models—which are used by scientists to understand how carbon flows through the Earth system—may be overestimating the forests' capacity to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. |
In Tom Clark's passing, Kentuckians and all those who care about history have lost an absolute treasure. He constantly thought of new ways to present history, how to teach it, and what next to write about. His boundless energy and endless curiosity to discover the truth about the past were the hallmarks not only of a remarkable intellect but also of a well-lived life. |
In view of the rapidly rising rates of obesity and diabetes in America, this good news could not have come at a better time, ... So many of our health problems can be avoided through diet, exercise and making sure we take care of ourselves. By promoting healthy lifestyles, we can improve the quality of life for all Americans, and reduce health care costs dramatically. |
Individuals who cannot afford health insurance coverage can still have access to appropriate care provided by free health clinics. We are pleased to be able to fund better access to healthcare for the uninsured and underinsured and to help limit one of the cost drivers of premiums for the insured -- that is the use of hospitals for non-emergency care by the uninsured. |
Interest in dual clutch transmissions is primarily a European phenomenon. In North America, automatic hydraulic clutch systems make up the dominant share of the market. They may seem a brilliant element in vehicle engineering, as they operate themselves without use of a third pedal, however they result in higher fuel consumption when compared to a manual transmission. |
It could be to celebrate a special occasion such as a promotion or a retirement. It could be to let an important customer know that you value their business. However, it can also be a way to get to know someone you would like to do business with. People tend to let down their guard over a plate of linguine, so lunch is a good way to find out what they are really like. |
