The exchange is not always open-minded and raises the question of whether the transparency is ever going to have that great an effect if so many people have their minds made up on the left and the right. That gives me pause about transparency, because I've always believed that if you explain how you do your job, being careful to protect your sources, you will increase your credibility. I don't want to be put down as a nonbeliever, but I'm a little less certain.... I think that being in a job that's in the middle of an effort to be transparent has simply immersed me in it so much that it has raised questions in my mind about its magnificence.

I ask each group to not only come up with new tax credits, but explain the social, economic or political reason for why the tax credit should be enacted by Congress.

The first phone call I got offering a safe haven was from Larry Hays, and that meant a lot. When you have somebody step up like this administration, and this coaching staff, who puts you in a position where kids feel like 'We're going to be OK,' and you can see it on their on faces. It means a lot and will continue to mean a lot in a way that will probably be tough to be able to explain to people to people who don't understand what we've gone through the last week and a half.

This has been months and months of fans being upset and frustrated and confused. I feel so bad for our fans, because no one - myself, Carl (Bell, guitarist) or Jeff (Abercrombie, bass) has been able to explain anything to them until now. Now we can actually say things and let them know what's going on. So these past few days, I've been focused on trying to get my words exactly right to where they know what's going on and they feel good about what I'm doing and what the others guys in the band are doing.

All I can say is that I'm leaving on a very positive note, in a much better shape than when I got here in 1998. All the elements are in place, with the new products, and I wish them well. This happens and you can't always explain things, but it's been a very positive association.

These are difficult decisions and we have a duty to explain them.

It's not that I'm asking for that, and I don't know how to explain it. I just think there's room for the disenfranchised. I don't think we have to sweep it under the rug.

It's a question of opening it up, and it's a question of closing it down, ... You know, opening it up in the sense of: We need a giant, epic story that is not the kind of thing these people usually get involved in in a TV series, which is more mundane. You need a reason for this to be a movie. The closing comes in making sure that it is accessible to everybody: that you explain everybody as much as you need to, that you explain the world as much as you need to, that you begin and you end, that you have an arc for the character, as well as a plot that has a question and then an answer.

Then when I come home to crash, they won't leave my side.

That's outside of the principals I explain in my direct testimony,

That's pretty good. He can start another five-year run if he wants to, and that would be fine with me. That's a nice streak. It's pretty incredible. I don't know how to explain those kinds of things, but that's a pretty good streak.

That's the easy way to explain it. But it was different things at different times. We talked about pre-snap penalties last week, and they continue. In my mind, that's just focus and concentration. It does not make a difference whether you are young or old. That's just focus.

'Want to know where she had it?' he asked the crowd. 'In Las Vegas!'

We expected that there might be Earth-mass planets here because the planet we know about is weird.

It's a great chance to walk around practice and see them do drills, not just explain them on the board. I think we can get more stuff out of this than just going to a clinic and listening to a coach talk. There's a lot of stuff we can adapt to what we need on the high school level.

This was my third AFC championship game, and to get that far and not make it twice, it really makes you appreciate the opportunity we have. Not just to get back to the AFC championship game, but to have this opportunity now, looking back at the last two times when we didn't make it, there is nothing like the feeling I have right now. You have to really appreciate it. I can't explain the feeling.

Next spring we have to go there for court and we told him (through an interpreter) that maybe we can take him home with us then. It will definitely be a happy moment.

The most common criticism I've seen is that I write 'popcorn fantasy:' lightweight action-adventure. Some people call it that as they explain why they love it for exactly that reason. I'm cool with that, either way. I just nod and let it go.

It makes no more sense to postulate a special brain-soul in order to account for the activities of the brain than to postulate a special stomach-soul in order to explain the functioning of the stomach or a special lung-soul to explain the phenomenon

It's like the government is playing games. The defense could raise these issues. The government is going to have to explain why they aren't going after much stronger charges.
