Initial Quotations | Page 8

They have endorsed entirely the initial libel judgment. It's a humiliation for the Telegraph and a vindication for George Galloway.

They only scored 24 points from their halfcourt offense (Sunday). It's that simple. Their initial offense didn't do much. Getting a second shot, turning us over, that's a lot of points. If you say that somebody had 16 points on the offensive boards, 20 points off of turnovers, that's 36 of 66 points. Six points are when we fouled at the end of the game. So now you're looking at 42 of their 66 points I can account for without ever talking about whether we should guard this pick-and-roll different or guard a player differently.

They're aligning themselves with a very good name in the Internet space; the deal gives them a funnel for a pretty broad spectrum of products and services, even beyond their initial investment; and they're putting their toe in the waters of revenue sharing for Internet services.

I asked him whether it made a difference to him if he disagreed with the initial decision but it had been reaffirmed several times since then, ... I was obviously referring to Roe in that question. He assured me that he has tremendous respect for precedent and that his approach is to not overturn cases due to a disagreement with how they were originally decided.

Car supermarkets are a good way of reducing your initial outlay, but there are drawbacks. They don't always have the specification you might want or the same back-up you get from most dealers.

I do encourage a lot of my audience to give me their interpretation before I explain what was intended. Sometimes I think nobody besides me would understand something, but I often am surprised by people. The overwhelming majority interpret the initial concept and key right in. I find a lot of clientele is much more observant and clever than me.

The level of severity was higher than that observed in the Hampton County rust field. Approximately 30 per cent of the collected leaves had 1 or more ASR pustules on the bottom surface. Most of the affected leaves had 5 to 15 pustules. This indicates that we may have had spores produced by the initial pustules and we are seeing a second generation of pustules now. It also means that infection probably took place 10 to 14 days ago.
