What happened was that teams were being manufactured and assembled. Most of the good players were on one team. They were totally dominant. We had girls' basket teams winning by 34 points. Move-ins were being replaced with move-ins. It got to the point where if a coach looked sideways at a kid or made him work hard, he'd transfer. It got worse and worse. Kids were making transfers just for athletic reasons. |
What's going on with these technologies that are relatively complex is that teens have a bit more spare time than adults do, and they have more opportunities to play with technology. That's what they're doing: They're playing with it. It's a toy. When you play with something, you take it apart, you look inside it, you turn it around. ... I think adults are less likely to do that. They just want it to work. |
When a defendant makes a request for a lawyer, all questioning must stop until a lawyer is on the scene. The fact that Shaw made two requests for a lawyer and was questioned for twenty minutes indicates a violation of his rights, assuming that is what really happened. My understanding is that Miranda does not legitimize a confession obtained by questioning a defendant who has repeatedly asked for a lawyer. |
When police retrace the history of a serial predator after he is finally caught, they often find that he never had a prior criminal conviction, but did have a prior arrest. That means the only way they are likely to catch such a perpetrator after his first crime -- rather than his 10th -- is if authorities can maintain a comprehensive database of all those who are arrested, just as we do with fingerprints. |
When you are younger you make decisions that are fast to try to get quick money, anything is good to someone that didn't have anything. When you are older, and you realize your true marketing potential, you begin to make wiser decisions. And truthfully speaking, I don't think they want wise decisions for artists, so they create a quick fly by night act and show, and expect them to disappear in a few years. |
Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? / Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: / Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. |
With a game like this, you have to look at the players that have played on both sides in the past, and all of the things that they've accomplished, and the games that have gone on between them, and the institutions themselves. You have two of the finest academic institutions in the country, and then you combine that with the football tradition. That kind of rivalry isn't found anywhere else in the country. |
With such a low premium of 4 percent to the prior day's close and the fact that there is a significant breakup fee of $225 million, it doesn't give us much comfort that investors are being protected, ... There has been a huge turnaround among the credit card issuers over the past three years, and with MBNA being acquired, there's some scarcity value for Providian. But their shareholders are not getting it. |
With the state of Minnesota executing a plan to close AGC in January 2007, the CAH program to cease Jan. 1, 2006, and with all the jobs at stake, we don't have the time required to pursue public ownership ... and a taxing district, ... We are under the gun ... We believe that BHS has experiences and resources necessary to help us achieve our goal of a badly-needed hospital to serve north-central Minnesota. |
Yeah, we had some trouble last week. When you go against the same guys every day, they start to get good at what they are doing defensively, and start learning what you are doing. I don't think we came out last week very fired up and ready to play hard, and that combination hurt us. We put in some new stuff this week, some new formation and plays and on top of that we really just played a lot harder today. |
You do not become a ''dissident'' just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society. |
You forget about the social side of 'Survivor.' You don't really understand when you start talking about yourself and how other people around you see you, ... And you have those people you had Brian. I had little Johnny rotten who just kind of feeds you and push you into talking about yourself, telling different things. I was yelling at the TV last night saying: You got to stop it. You got to back it down. |
