Mike Flanagan

If you are devastated first thing in the morning, day in and day out, you're not thinking about Algebra II.

Richard P. Feynman

It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. The two apparently dissimilar approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent.

Tom Barrett

That hurts us for AYP. We're giving a lot more kids the opportunity to take Algebra 1,

We have been very disappointed in the unprofessional and dangerous behavior that some of the local vessels have engaged in during the course of our operations. It is distressing to see the casual attitude that some local Captains take toward marine laws and safety, a matter we take very seriously. On numerous occasions during the past weeks, we have seen small local boats approach our ship in a careless manner, apparently not realizing the danger of their actions. The thrusters that are engaged during dynamic positioning operations present a serious threat to small vessels that come too close, which is why we request a safe working perimeter through the Notice to Mariners. We are seeking legal redress to prevent this from happening in the future in order to avail ourselves of every avenue available before someone is seriously hurt or worse.

The $2.0 million less the cost of the studies might leave $1.5, $1.3 million. You might get the ramps for that, but if you get into reconstruction of that bridge and the approaches to bring them to standards for the next 30 to 40 years, that would could easily double the cost of construction.

Craig Fugate

The approaches to bridges are at the greatest risk of scouring from the storm surge. The National Guard is going to take a Hummer with satellite communications and drive all the way down to Mile Marker 0. They're just waiting for the winds to start dropping.

John McKay

The approaches have been straightened out and smoothed so you don't have to hit bumps going up to it. The crossing itself was tearing the under-carriages of cars out. It was so bad,

Dan Doughty

We have two approaches in our research - the empirical model and the mechanistic model. The empirical model generates life prediction from accelerated degradation test data, while the mechanistic model relates life prediction to changes in battery materials. Our approach provides an independent measure of battery life so we don't have to rely on what battery manufacturers tell us.

Bill Gates

We have competitors who will seize on these approaches and challenge us.

Irving Stone

I came down successfully through Picasso and Braque, down through Pollock, I guess, but I began to stop at Franz Kline and the Abstractionists. I like their design, brilliant design, marvelous color layers. But I don't find any human content there. I'm from an old school, and painting has to have human content for me.

Irwin Rose

My interest in protein breakdown as a research problem began in l955 at about the time I joined the Biochemistry Department of Yale University. It was known that proteins break down intracellularly in the mature animal.

Irwin Rose

I floated around in the department of biochemistry and learned some interesting things, and then I began to... I never wanted to work with a mentor because I always wanted to have my own reputation and be free to do what I wanted to do. So I worked with the weakest people in the department. Don't make that public.

Gale Harold

My first manager, Suzanne DeWalt, saw a play I was in. She was invited by the director Joan Scheckel, who was my first real acting teacher. Joan was also good friends with my friend Susie Landau Finch, who had first encouraged me to consider acting, so that's how I began studying.

Bill Rees

Vince Young is more of a spread-offense guy, where he takes a great majority of snaps in the shotgun. He is not dissimilar to a number of other quarterbacks who have had great success in that offense and didn't immediately make the transition to taking the snap and dropping back. You saw that last year with Smith.

Mark Haddon

I'm a writer! If you work in an office, it dampens you. It makes you fit a routine. The effect of being a writer is not dissimilar to being long-term unemployed. And everyone knows that is not good for you.

Brandon Roy

When we won here, Salim Stoudamire didn't play. To take him out of the equation is doing a lot. Last year, he played and we didn't win.

Bruce Lipton

We are made in the image of God, and we need to put Spirit back into the equation when we want to improve our physical and our mental health.

Guy Kirk

Our findings suggest the soil part of the equation is scarier than we had thought. The consequence is that there is more urgency about doing something.

John Augustine

Just as the brokerages are often a harbinger for things to come in the financial sector, the exchanges will probably fit into that equation of forward- looking financial sector indicators, and they'll revolve around the volume trends.

Ben Quiles

She's amazing. She locates well, and her mechanics are unbelievable. She's a smart pitcher.

Alan Furst

Anthony Powell taught me to write; he has such brilliant control of the mechanics of the novel.
