If you increase either your mileage or intensity, by going up an incline or jogging, you will achieve even greater gains.

People in many underdeveloped countries must walk miles each day just so they can get water, food, firewood and other basic essentials.

I see it as something that's going to expand the pie. It's going to cause somebody who's 3,000 (or) 4,000 miles away to look hard at spending the weekend in Kansas City. ... Ideally, it will combine with existing tourist possibilities and cause people to extend their stay for three or four days.

I will continue to fight any and all drilling that occurs within 100 miles of our coast or encroaches on our military mission in the Eastern Gulf.

Last year he was the young guy, and now he's our seasoned veteran. He's come miles since last year. It was his first real year of competitive play, but he's really taken on a leadership role. He's been our most consistent player.

Jazz music is as American as it gets, and so is the U.S. Postal Service. A Miles Davis stamp is a perfect marriage of two great American institutions.

My parents live 16 miles out on a dirt road and another mile on a different road. How the heck did they find the way out there? These guys are like the post office. Rain, snow, hail, they're there.

My musical influences are from the '50s: Bill Evans, Miles Davis and Ahmad Jamal.

I'm hoping to see them in close proximity. I don't pay as much attention to their times because it changes every course. I look at their body language. Three miles is a long way. They have to be patient.

Johnson doesn't know it, but I completed more miles than he did by the time he took the checkered at Daytona. I was already flying west.

I'm sitting here at my office at Warner Bros. And I'm looking at big buildings and soundstages and all the things you need to make a movie, but what do I have to do? Get on a plane and fly thousands of miles so I can look at big buildings and sound stages and all the things you need to make a movie. And why? Because of costs. It all comes down to costs.

Most produce travels 1,500 miles from the farm to the consumer.

I'm in my apartment in trendy Tribeca. I've been down here for 37 years, from before it was a fashionable neighbourhood. It's a wonderful place; it looks over the Hudson River. I can see 30 miles into New Jersey. My landlord would like me to die because the rent is very low. I'm trying to outlive him. He can get a lot more if I disappear.

I think that what we're going to have to do is bring ourselves up with the rapid technology in crime. Crime is not one-on-one anymore. Crime happens hundreds of miles away with a couple of keystrokes on a computer. And in order to protect our residents from those types of things ... I think we have to be on top of that. We have to be well-versed in what's out there. So I see us moving in that direction.

I swung at a couple of high fastballs, but I'm getting the bat head there, ... I just need to get the ball down a little bit. He's a guy that just comes in and throws hard. Whether you have 35 or 40 postseason at-bats, a guy throwing 100 miles per hour, it's not that easy.

Owning a Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge vehicle should be a worry free experience for customers. Therefore, our goal with the Miles of Freedom Plan is to provide our customers with ownership benefits unequaled in the industry. The combination of free gasoline, free scheduled maintenance and a full-warranty puts our customer's mind at ease and allows them to fully experience the joy of driving one of our vehicles.

Our county is the one next to Louisiana and our county is ground zero where Katrina actually made landfall. Our house was about 7 miles northeast of ground zero, which is not the place to be.

Our goal is by the third week in October to open the full 20.9 miles of road for travel.

I think it's pretty much inarguable that the value of frequent-flyer miles is on the decline.

It had elements of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday and little horn pieces. The way he combined that, I was like, ?Hmm. I bet he would get where I?m trying to go with this record.? It was taking a chance. God knows if he would even do it because it was kind of his first time, I think, even venturing into the ?pop? world. I knew that it would be a different and new thing for him.

I think we've accomplished that. Now we've got people coming from, I've heard, a hundred to two hundred miles away ... this was never intended to be a state-wide program at this one facility.

It can't be a real significant injury because it's hard to believe somebody can throw 98 miles an hour and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't had any discomfort at all. He hasn't had any complaints since going to the 'pen.

I think we might not have as much talent on our defense this year, but I think we have much better team players this year. Guys aren't going out there and freelancing. They're spending more time in film study and playing good assignment defense the only way it should be played, and that's at 100 miles per hour.

To make a change often takes a lot of initial energy and effort. This is not unlike a rocket that expends most of its energy in the first few miles even though its destination may be hundreds of thousands of miles away.

We can see them, they're six miles ahead of us, and we can't see anybody else.

We were going 1,000 miles an hour, and I don't want to start over again. It's part of my job to think about this, but I didn't.

We were hoping for more RVs -- like 300. But it's tough to get them up north, and the gas prices didn't help, either, ... Last year it was $1.79 and now it's $2.69. You get about 6-8 miles to the gallon.

We have three miles of trail planned where people can run with great views and no traffic.

Yeah, I was Miles' first guitarist, but I never traveled with him, just worked on studio dates, ... Miles had a dark personality, and it was kinda scary working with him. He could be terribly intimidating at times, but I never thought he meant to be. He was just being Miles.

Yeah, we hollered at him. 'Stay on the ball! Stay on the ball!' Now he stands right in there and hits it that way nine miles and hits it this way nine miles.

The Quantum Weather Butterfly ( Papilio Tempestae ) is an undistinguished yellow color, its outstanding feature is its ability to create weather. This presumably began as a survival trait, since even an extremely hungry bird would find itself inconvenienced by a nasty localized tornado ( usually about 6 inches across ). From there it possibly became a secondary sexual characteristic, like the plumage of birds. Look at *me*, the male says, flapping his wings lazily in the canopy of the rain forest. I may be an undistinguished yellow color but in a fortnight's time, a thousand miles away, Freak Gales Cause Road Chaos. This is the butterfly of the storm

We were in the eye of the storm. We were four miles from the beach at a neighbor's brick house. It was clear out, no breeze, nothing. Then all of a sudden the water came down the street like someone was dumping a big bucket. Thirteen-foot-high tidal waves were coming straight at us.

Well, going to and from the store, the grocery store, taking the kids to school, which, I have no kids now, just local driving. 90% of your driving is little short things within two miles of your house.

We are, in sum, much safer than we were, and I say that as someone who lives just three miles from the site.

I would love to work with Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, B.B. King. I'd love to do something with Arctic Monkeys, Miles Kane, and The Last Shadow Puppets. If I got a call from Juliette Lewis or PJ Harvey, or Chrissie Hynde, that'd be a thrill.

I would never have believed it unless I saw it. The devastation just goes on for miles and miles and miles. I mean, it just goes on forever.

The assistance systems in Louisiana are very overwhelmed right now. It feels great to step in from thousands of miles away and play even a small role in helping people get back on their feet,

The aptly named Long Beach Peninsula, 28 miles of sand, stretches like a beckoning finger along the Pacific Ocean at Washington's southwest corner. You won't find games or taffy stands on the Long Beach Boardwalk, just interpretive displays about the dunes, water and wildlife. But this low-key planked pathway parallels the beach, where kite fliers congregate year-round; the Washington State International Kite Festival is Aug. 15-21.

We have had a number of derailments of late that have caught the public attention but you have to take a look at our performance in terms of the overall amount of work we do or train miles we operate,

We have had patience with the sewer, but this really is ridiculous. When it snows, we're not the first to get our road cleared. When the lights go off, we're not the first to get them back on. But when you see houses getting built with God knows how many bathrooms in them, and you only live five miles away, that's a little disheartening.

We're talking 100 miles a week, which is significant over what I used to do.

We're within 49 miles of Baghdad, ... He's being closed on from the north, south, and there's so many people running around hyperventilating that things aren't going well. This plan is working.

We have come miles and miles with this team this season. I really wondered at times if we would gel -- and we did. We came together and we focused on what we had to do.

We have two real strong players at No. 1 doubles. John Coleman is a freshman who is certainly a force. He's a powerful player. He has a serve over 100 miles an hour. I think they're going to be a good team.

We could either go three miles straight ahead or 20 miles around. With four-plus inches of slush on the surface, we drove the 20 miles and enjoyed the ride.

I was only 250 miles away, but now I'm 2,500 miles away. I was a little disappointed my wife and grandkids are in Houston.

I was on tour with Miles Davis, and we had a gig to play at a theater in Los Angeles in 1965. And the opening act was the Aretha Franklin Jazz Trio. She was this young artist and she played sort of funky jazz piano with an upright bassist and a drummer. Then she sang, and she blew the roof off the place. The rest is history. I'd rate her up there with Zeus.

The $60 Motel 6's are $300 a night, 25 miles away. Everything is four to five times what it would normally sell for.

Wilma has very quickly strengthened to a storm with winds of 175 miles per hour -- that's stronger than Katrina and Rita. Although it's not on course to hit oil platforms, it's still a few days away and if there's a slight change in course to the west, markets will jump aggressively higher.

Most droughts, you go 200 miles and people are in a flood situation. It's a shame. When we're dry, somebody else is wet. When we're wet, somebody's dry. I don't know, maybe it's God's way.

You just want it to happen naturally without really thinking about it. As soon as you starting thinking at 90 miles per hour, you start making mistakes. The idea is to get the right line ingrained.

You can go 15 miles from here and see bald eagles along the Connecticut River. You can go outside this building and see peregrine falcons hunting in Bushnell Park. They nest on the Travelers Tower.

You can hardly pull a lure too fast for a wahoo. Some guys pull over 15 miles an hour and still get hit.

We get people of every age. We attract extremely avid hikers who've logged a thousand miles in a year to families looking for some winter exercise. We have drawn as little as 80 people and as many as 250. Last year, we drew about 125.
