When the Bar Association says they are looking to regulate attorney advertising for the purpose of controlling the public's perception of the profession, they can get into some pretty touchy areas. In some ways the whole notion of doing that seems dangerous and misguided.

We've seen growing awareness of this notion of connectivity. And we'll continue to see this going forward in 2006.

The reality is that recidivism rates are low - which runs in the face of the notion of the super-predator that these laws are aimed at getting. But do people know that? Do people know that if they were to go to the library and look up the recidivism rates for these offenders, the highest they would see is somewhere in the teens?

The fact is safe co-sleeping is not difficult. The notion of babies being smothered is simply not true. And the benefits of sleeping together are profound.

What we hope people will get out of it is less identification of the schools, but just the notion that student success can happen at a variety of institutional types. It's not so much the release of these colleges as great institutions, but what can we learn from them that matters.

What we oppose is a single, national, high-stakes, one-size-fits-all, uber-outcome exam. The notion of a single exam implies there are national standards, and that implies a national curriculum. Then we are on the way to a centralized Prussian education system.

I assure you. I have no notion of treating men with such respect. That is the way to spoil them.

This provides a big shot in the arm to the notion that geopolitical concerns were holding back the economy. Otherwise we wouldn't have seen such a big pop. This probably exaggerates how excited consumers will be after all is said and done, but it gets the direction right.

This puts to bed the notion that they're done. I would anticipate they're going to go to 5 percent at the next meeting and wouldn't be surprised to see them go beyond 5 percent, and the market wasn't prepared for that.

We're not going to fail, ... But we're not going to simply succeed because we're 16. Sixteen presents a number of problems, and we're going to be aggressive in dealing with them. But this whole notion that we're too big is nonsense, because three years ago we were 14 and I didn't hear anyone saying we were too big.

When the world's leading democracy scorns the notion of justice for the victims of violence in its jurisdiction, it gives confidence to those who target journalists in countries where freedom hardly exists.

We are not forecasting a recession, but there is some truth to the notion that negative news can be a self-fulfilling prophesy. If companies expect demand to slacken, they scale back production. And if consumers expect doom and gloom, they scale back spending. That's just the way it works.

The default mode of modern writing about art is to despise any notion of singularity as so much overheated genius-fetishism.

This report unambiguously rejects the notion that business as usual at the United Nations is acceptable, ... We need to reform the U.N. in a manner that will prevent another oil-for-food scandal. The credibility of the United Nations depends on it.

This whole notion that's being bandied about that we are actually cutting aid to students we reject categorically.

When a country cannot deal with an issue in a straightforward, forthright way, when a country that has had success takes a step back because a narrow few have some ideological notion that everyone should be entitled to have any weapon they want-some of them even believe a bazooka or a tank is okay-then something is wrong.

Do you have any notion of how goddamned crazy you are?

We have no preset notion of how the model will look.

Writers transform: they throw a hand grenade into the notion of reality that people carry around in their heads.

It's entirely possible that the notion of what is the past, what is the present and what is the future, could change.

When I was a kid and started to be obsessed by art in the 1980s, the art world was in this polarity Warhol/Beuys, Beuys/Warhol. Both expended the notion of art extremely, but in very different ways.

When I was in my teens, Yehudi Menuhin, who was at work on his project 'The Music of Man,' introduced me to the great astronomer Carl Sagan. It was Sagan who first opened my eyes to the magnitude of the universe, and essentially to the notion of 'music of the spheres.'

The positive energy and the overall tone of this event are almost euphoric, ... To have 2,400 people collectively engaged in an act of goodness like this restores one's faith in humanity. Indeed, this demonstrated capacity for altruism challenges the notion that it is always about self-interest.

Whether she was meeting with (Nelson) Mandela in South Africa or meeting with the president of the United States, she will be known as one who never wavered, never moved away from the notion that we could develop an internationally peaceful world.

We're getting to levels now where to buy bonds you have to subscribe to the notion that the economy's going to experience a slowdown and the Fed may have to reverse course later in the year. We don't subscribe to that.

We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?

We're familiar with the notion of musicians reinterpreting the same song over and over, but we don't ever hear that with comedians,

When you test a newborn, you're only testing for the mother's antibodies. This makes a mockery of the whole notion of voluntary testing for pregnant women.

When you think of crafting, the sort of old-fashioned notion of crafting, they just busted all those images. In a lot of ways, this is the ultimate DIY project. They found each other, they had an idea, a friend produced the show for them, and they basically delivered the show to us. When we saw it, we thought they had such fabulous chemistry.

Couples need to let go of the notion that something's wrong if you're not enraptured with each other all the time. After the early enchantment stage, it takes proactive behavior to keep your love alive.

Early in my career, having many visible tattoos created obstacles and presented quite a challenge to move forward. I've heard comments like, 'actors don't have tattoos.' The notion of typecasting was a reoccurring theme despite my passion toward creativity and personal expression.

Even in the '80s when people were gay, it was still difficult for them to come out, whereas nowadays, 20 years on, I think, um, we have a far more open-minded society that embraces the notion of homosexuality, and I think there was this doubt about my gender, you know, and at the time it possibly was controversial but... they missed my message, if you see what I mean, because for me it wasn't about a sexual issue, it was more of a feminist thing.

Even the notion that women should have children at all is based on the idea that a woman's inherent and most important role is that of mother. Shockingly, men's 'innate' roles are a lot more fun than the ones bestowed on women.

To imagine that an issue of this magnitude would get such an abbreviated report is unbelievably ironic given the amount of lip service that has been paid to the notion of open government and transparency lately.

Every person's life is theirs by right. An individuals life can and must only belong to himself, no to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man's throat and dictate how he must live his life. No society is more important than the individuals who compose it, or else you ascribe supreme importance, not to man, but to any notion that strikes the fantasy of that society at a never ending cost of lives. Reason and reality are the only means to just laws; mindles wishes, if given sovereignty, become deadly masters.

The whole notion that police officers won't cooperate, this blue wall of silence thing -- the police commissioner and I challenged the police officers to break that silence, ... And one police officer -- a police officer, not a civilian -- came forward and courageously gave the district attorney the information that really has helped to pull this case together.

While the notion that torture works has been glorified in television shows and movies, the simple truth is this: torture has never been an effective interrogation method.

These results cast more cold water on the notion that if nondiscretionary spending on energy swells, it must crimp discretionary spending. It hasn't,

The task of growing is finding these people. A lot of companies are (turning away) from the notion that basic research can be a good investment. Some of the best and brightest are being turned out by their companies,

These claims numbers confirm the notion that things may improve sometime in the future. The fact that we didn't go over 400,000 was very encouraging.

An intellectual challenge presents itself? I am in bliss. Instantly, it brings forth the notion of triumph.

I've never seen that level of retro pay. The whole notion of retro pay is a relatively new issue for the airline industry.

The word 'commercial' implies a notion of profit.

You got a favorable surprise on the CPI. We had the first decline in the core rate in 21 years, ...

And it ... supports the notion that the Fed might not have to raise interest rates at all next year.

There is some notion ... that peace was bought. There is nothing that is further from the truth.

The reason Silver Lake exists is that as the technology industry matured, we saw there would be a role for private equity in technology, just as there is in other fields.

The other argument for Sutter is 'dominance,' the notion that he was a player who was a special one in his day, and that his value went beyond the numbers.

This notion of some grand battle between content owners and network owners, I think it's specious. Network owners can partition bandwidth in such a way that everyone can have access to the Internet in a way we have today and provide some value-added services. There should be plenty of room for everyone to do what they want.

This notion that there's just too much tech everywhere contrasts with the fact that there's actually been a spending improvement,

This notion that we're going to prop up foreign governments, that we're going to invade other countries for some kind of perceived benefit where we're going to install somebody who's going to be supportive of American interests or American corporate private interests needs to stop.

This notion that we should just eliminate periods altogether is just crazy,

We don't accept the notion that America is a country where a privileged few live well while the rest of us struggle to meet our daily expenses, ... We're going to fight for something better.

both because of the sheer magnitude of what has happened, and its implications, and also because this was an attack not just on a number of buildings in the United States of America, but on the very notion of democracy.

Both current conditions and expectations remain above their wartime lows, but the reversal of previous gains undercuts the notion that the slowdown early this year owed only to geopolitical concerns. Consumers are clearly troubled by the absence of new hiring, and worry about income prospects.

Pursuit is a rather desperate act in itself. There's something kind of frantic about the notion of pursuit.

The old guard that is worried, is worried that the finances become the most important thing. You have to remember that the real competition is on the field. And all the devices we're talking about here - the salary cap and revenue sharing and the draft and so on - are to keep a notion of competitive balance.
