I happen to believe that the pendulum is returning to the growth side.
came felt happened knee knew pain serious sharp step tried
It happened very quickly. I knew that I came down and felt a sharp pain in my leg. I got up and tried to take a step and my knee just felt shaky. I didn't think it was as serious as it is.

It's a gamble to go up against a major media company, but the governor obviously feels he has no choice because the newspaper is going to chomp at him, anyway.
behind found group impetus insight investment leads people small
That was the impetus behind this, to keep our people in as small a group as possible. We've found that the interaction between a small group of investment professionals leads to more insight and better investment ideas.
people trying
Try to find like-minded people. Don't choose your friends based on the outside, choose your friends based on your similar views or something that you can learn from.
ability cuts debris disposal facilities facility looked looking million processing three yards
It's not about capacity, it's about processing ability. We still have, roughly, 12 million cubic yards of debris and that's all demolition debris. Again, I've done numbers; I've looked at the numbers. With one facility you're looking at three years of disposal time. With two facilities that cuts down to about one year. So we have a responsibility.

against ball cause couple good jordan move open quickness run shots surprised zone
We weren't surprised (Aurora West) made a run at us because they have a lot of quickness that you just can't simulate in practice. Their 1-2-2 zone can cause problems, but if you move the ball and make good passes, it can open some shots up, and Jordan and Logan made a couple of big 3s against it.
country rap opportunity
If you want to speak about different ethnicities and diversity, rap and hip-hop are all over the planet. Every country, from Turkey to Australia, now has tons of hip-hop artists. The music and artistry have moved way faster than the corporatization of the music. You do need organization and opportunity for these artists to express themselves, and I don't think it has to come from a corporate co-signing.

She came to everything, all 12 lectures, too. She drug her 15-year-old twins in here. They're probably the most educated kids in the county on diet and exercise issues.
america community trying
I would like to say is that to be truly American and represent American ideals you need to consider yourself a citizen of the world. American policy has gone contrary to that ideal. The Bush Administration is bent on making the world submit to "Americanism" instead of becoming a member of the world community. This orchestration comes from the very top of the Administration and has pushed America into a corner. So, rather than trying to humbly mix with the rest of the world, we are forcing ourselves upon it. We seem to create conflicts with everyone.
art passion thinking
When somebody greedily comes along and thinks that they gonna snatch everything, and you have so many people that have not, the passion that drives me is trying to make them understand that they have to share. So, my art reflects that; the whole reason I do what I do reflects that.
