The difference that a drama group or a cinema club can make to a small village or a town. It opens people up to ideas, potential about themselves that really, in a way, education often fails to. It's a way of drawing a community together.

If the BOJ fails again like it did in 2000, this could be a fatal blow to the credibility of Japanese monetary policy.

His theory fails a basic test of real economics,

He looks as if he is in need of a rest. I think there is hardly any problem in his technique and the problem rather lies in mental strength.

There is a feeling in the market that the gold price will test the seventeen-and-a-half year high of $475.90 this afternoon and if successful then we'd probably aim for or hit the $480 level sometime next week. If the market fails to breach $475.90 today then I'd say we'll keep trying next week.

The long-term impact on human health -- and public confidence in government -- is devastating.

But aside from politics, what is really important here is the safety of the American people.

When all else fails, take a vacation.

VCE exams do not showcase students' abilities. By this, I mean that the system fails to recognise the diversity of skills, and most subjects do not allow students to demonstrate skills in a form other than a written exam.

An inventor is simply a person who doesn't take his education too seriously. You see, from the time a person is six years old until he graduates form college he has to take three or four examinations a year. If he flunks once, he is out. But an inventor is almost always failing. He tries and fails maybe a thousand times. It he succeeds once then he's in. These two things are diametrically opposite. We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.

While I hope you will act responsibly and with reason on this issue, I feel obliged to tell you that your failure to do so would cause me to reevaluate my association with an organization that fails to recognize the role of women in our society. While I have, up to this point, respected your request that this issue not be a subject of discussion either with the public or with other members, I feel that continuing the status quo would cause me to make my views known to a broader audience -- if only to remove any doubt that I approve of the present policy.

But, not everyone, to my chagrin, has gone out and bought a data protection management package.

Why didn't somebody tell me this drive fails three times a week'?

Cold be hand and heart and bone,and cold be sleep under stone:never more to wake on stony bed,never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.In the black wind the stars shall die,and still on gold here let them lie,till the dark lord lifts his handover dead sea and withered land.
