I think there were some significant fears that the CPI could come in above 0.2 percent. Given what we read in the Federal Reserve minutes, there was no room for error on core in the eyes of the market.

Our pitchers did a very nice job. I think we only had two walks, so they did a good job of throwing strikes. We didn't play defense very well. We got some nerves out. We started hitting the ball a little better towards the end. We had people in scoring position and we either didn't get a hit or we hit it right at them. When they got in that position we either made an error or they got a hit.

Our pitching was fantastic. They only walked one batter and we had just one error all day ... There's some pretty positive stuff we can take from this.

Outside of these two guys, and they have been very good, we've had a lot of inconsistency throughout the rest of the roster. We've just got to get everybody clicking because there's no room for error for us.

Our work demonstrates a fundamental error in the current challenges to Darwinism. New techniques allowed us to see how ancient genes and their functions evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. We found that complexity evolved piecemeal through a process of Molecular Exploitation -- old genes, constrained by selection for entirely different functions, have been recruited by evolution to participate in new interactions and new functions.

Overall records are misleading, we are treating the PSAC West schedule as a new season and we are pushing for a PSAC playoff spot. We must execute better and our margin of error is very small right now.

I think most Americans would be interested in the error rate in the sense of how many people are wrongfully convicted, and that can be derived from the study. Based on that data, the death-penalty system is more than 99 percent accurate in that more than 99 percent of the time the system identifies the proper person. There is no claim that anyone has been wrongfully executed.

I was going nuts. We kept putting ourselves in trouble, making error after error. But who cares what I thought? We have won the World Cup.

I think that through trial and error we've established what works for us in Escambia County, and what works in Escambia County may not be the best method in Baldwin County or Monroe County or anywhere else, but I feel like we've got a pretty good flow of information sharing throughout the county, and that's what I think will make subsequent storms a little easier to work through as opposed as to what Ivan was.

I think it's a continuance of the same things we've said for a while. The margin of error for us is not great. They had 13 second-chance points and 50 points in the paint and those numbers are hard to overcome.

I thought we learned our lesson last year at Michigan . We can't turn the ball over and expect to win. We're not that good. Our margin of error is not that high.

When it comes to a game as big as a Super Bowl and plays can go either way, you never want to have that happen. But that's something that you have to live with, as a player or a coach, knowing that it is going to be weighed on a person's judgment. That's why they brought in replay, to try to take away some of the error in judgment by the referees. But you can't go back and fix everything. You really want to make more plays than the other team so you don't have to worry about the referees coming into play.

We dominated 80 minutes of the match and then a schoolboy goalkeeping error drained the confidence of the whole team.

We are thrilled and amazed that WMMR has made this critical error by extending our contracts.

Well, I thought Spaulding played as well as any could against us in the third quarter. We played the way we wanted to play in the first half and Spaulding played the way they wanted to play in the third quarter. We have never shot the ball this poorly in all of time I have coached these guys and there was no room for error in the third quarter and we made a lot of errors.

We've got some improvements to make. We've got some kids who can certainly play, there's no doubt about that. We just don't have a lot of margin for error against championship teams.

We encourage anyone who thinks there may be an error in their bill to contact their retail electric provider and request that a representative look at their meter. A lot of them will slow down, but we've found that less than one percent are actually over-reading Also keep in mind that this time of year is a peak usage time.

We end up with a couple two-out hits tonight that we didn't get this past weekend. And the one error that they made really was a momentum changer.

That's the least they could do, ... This is the most egregious kind of error that a news organization can make: unreliable sources for a story damaging to all concerned parties. It severely tarnishes CNN, which has a very good record, and Time magazine as well.

There is a smaller margin for error today in hiring and promoting people into key positions, and a greater need to target development efforts to ensure that they really make a difference.

There is marginal room for error and you are working in front of a large crowd. Getting back on stage is something that I have really enjoyed.

Truth arises more readily from error than from confusion.

Too many walks early. You put runners on then an error or a hit is very costly. Joslin did a good job for the second game in a row. We have lots of freshmen, but they're athletes. They'll progress. We just have to put the ball in play. Thirteen strikeouts makes it easy on their defense.

The error of entrusting privacy protection to government officials is becoming startlingly clear there.

While it appears that the authorities have determined Sebastian initially made an innocent mistake, he clearly compounded the situation by making the wrong choice by not notifying the team's traveling security agent about his situation immediately. He has apologized profusely, but he knows he must be held accountable for his actions. He will pay the price for his error in judgment for violating both team and league policy.

When men, lost in the devious ways of error and self, have forgotten the ""heavenly birth,"" ... they set up artificial standards by which to judge one another

The president may have made a fatal error in putting nuclear weapons at the heart of improved US-India relations. Lawmakers want the latter, but not at the price of the former. Worse, Indian officials have made clear that India alone will decide which future reactors will be kept in the military category and exempt from any safeguards.

But let's not get carried away. It would be an error to think that we are now unstoppable.

The president should be worried. With 55 percent, if there's is a margin of error of 4 percent, he could actually have only 51 percent.
