OUTCOME, n. A particular type of disappointment. By the kind of intelligence that sees in an exception a proof of the rule the wisdom of an act is judged by the outcome, the result. This is immortal nonsense; the wisdom of an act is to be juded by the light that the doer had when he performed it.

I think, clearly, there is something in the zeitgeist, ... but for us, it was based on producing the best pilot scripts that we had. . . . We don't literally go out to the community and say, 'Because that particular show is successful on another network, please bring us that.' We encourage writers. We encourage producers. We encourage directors. . . . They don't necessarily look to develop only based on what's successful at other networks. They sort of listen to their own inner voice.

I was thrilled to be rehired for the 1919 'Follies.' Mr. Ziegfeld himself hired me. To me, that particular 'Follies' was his greatest 'Follies' of all - not because I was in the show, but because of the great cast and memorable music.

I was very impressed with the last couple days' performance, in particular with the Dow, which rallied nicely. But we're in this pre-announcement period and although there haven't been too many negative comments, there's some hesitation on the part of investors because of that.

I think if it's found out that a player has got away with an edge or some kind of dismissal, there should be some kind of retrospective punishment for that particular player.

I think if we had at least some consistency in the testing instrument it might be valuable. And it would be certainly better than just comparing one school's scores to another school's scores in any particular year. It's about improvement and not strictly how are you doing at this particular point in time.

It does, on the face of it, anyway, sound like it's confined narrowly to address a particular problem.

I tend to take a more practical and pragmatic approach to things, rather than a theoretical or ideological approach, ...

My views on the cases that I think are not likely to come before the court, I'm perfectly willing to discuss.

I think people exaggerate the role that particular strategy had,

I think our view has always been we expect teams to try and win games, and if a player is not injured, you are supposed to play him. And from everything I have heard, these players are legitimately hurt. I think we ought to look at whether and how we allow trades to be made in the future. That is really the issue.

But it may be the same reason we have a lottery now is to give teams that don't win games a better percentage in the lottery.

I think that if I'm at home sitting doing the rewrite, I'm going to write something different than if I'm there in the rehearsal room doing it. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you're tossed into the fire at any particular moment, then you are going to write something different than you will in another particular moment. And that is from day to day.

I think that this particular report really signifies the first time that anyone from within the financial world, when looking at this issue, kind of had one of those 'Oh my God' moments.

I think that's one of the reasons they're as good as they are is they have great depth. Sure, it hurts them not having him out there, but we knew they were a team in particular that was deep enough to handle those kinds of problems.

I think to many people the term 'activist film' implies a film with a single point of view - something designed to provoke outrage and urge action on a particular issue - sort of the film equivalent of a rally. 'If a Tree Falls' is not that kind of film.

I think those things are seriously the result of discussions with the coaching staff, those in the technical side of the elite pathway, and then to identify need for a particular style of player. Whether that's someone coming through the ranks or is that someone we need to fast-track by bringing someone external into the system.

I think we all would admit that we didn't have the premier team in the National League this year, but we did make the playoffs, ... Crazy things can happen in a short series. In our particular case we fell behind in those three games and never really gave ourselves a chance. So that was disappointing. We played down to people's expectations. So that was very disappointing.

I think it's so fun when I get to work with women writers in particular because we really understand the core story or foundation as women. That's so important to me that the authenticity is there, you know, from the place that I speak from for my women. Having other females with me helps me dig deeper.

I think it's very important to emphasize that there are many, many different educational institutions in what we call higher education, and they educate an enormous diversity of students.

I think it's very premature to suggest that we are moving in any particular direction.

I think this particular time, it's more likely we'll be successful.

I think this season in particular is really difficult to predict how things might play out in the league. Our team is as unpredictable as any team in the league. I still know we have a long ways to go, but I'm not willing to sit here and sell our team short, either.

It has always struck me as being peculiar that we do so little with our military history, in particular with that war, although it would have been ferociously difficult to shoot before now - beyond our means and capacity to photograph.

It had all the components of a real improvised explosive device, minus the explosives in this particular case.

It gets easier as you get older because life deals its particular hand, and our experiences get deeper, richer, more profound. When I gave birth to my son, something happened.

I think we have the makings of a special team. But there are so many teams in our league that are better than we are, I believe, at this particular point that we've got a lot of work to do. But if we continue to work hard, this team could be an NCAA team, but we're so far from that right now.

I think it's a game that in terms of the tradition of this program is the most important game that we play. I think for any team playing in it, it's a big game. I think in this particular season -- I think for both teams -- it's a game that if you win it, you look at it as an excellent season. If you lose it, it's probably a disappointing season.

I think it's best not to rely on an individual physician. Individual doctors have their specialties, their biases, their preferences for certain kinds of treatment and getting multiple opinions is the only way you can create a sense of trust in that particular course of action. It's a ways of checking and balancing the subjectivity or the prejudices of an individual physician.

I think it's a really good game and I'm sure it's something that kids in particular will enjoy playing as it goes around different grounds,

I think it's a stupid way to read a book, ... to say that because something happens to one person the author is trying to suggest that all people are like this. The novel is the art of the particular. And I'm talking about a particular person whose development from innocence to guilt, if you like, is his own particular narrative arc. The point is to make that coherent - not to read the book as some kind of simple allegory, but to read it as a story about a person.

The problem is, we fear negative consequences a lot more than we value positive ones. What happens to an athlete is that if he wore a particular sock, or pair of shirts, or did some ritual, and had success, he'll continue to do that. That act reduces the anxiety associated with not doing it. It's the exact same mechanism, clinically, we find in obsessive-compulsive people.

The predicament is not particular to (Janus) in any way.

The presence of DNA evidence certainly would be relevant to show that a particular person had been at the scene. It wouldn't tell you the particular circumstances.

You have this thing you hang your faith on, this little bit of proof. And then someone comes up with a naturalistic explanation that sounds perfectly reasonable, and all of a sudden that creates a faith crisis. I think that can be a dangerous thing. A healthy understanding of God's involvement doesn't hinge on a particular scientific proof.

You'd like to put yourself in a position, if you have a flexibility to do it, to take a particular player that you'd like to get. Obviously if you have multiple draft picks, that gives you a little bit more flexibility. That's not a luxury that we have right now.

We don't have anything to protect this particular area.

We are in this particular situation because once again unionists threaten the institutions and Dr. Reid moved to accommodate them.

Those are plays that resonate in your mind. Early in the game it's 0-0. Had I caught that ball in the end zone, they wouldn't have scored the field goal and the momentum probably would have shifted. That play in particular is one that I'm not going to forget until next season.

Those do not appear to be cherry-picked numbers of some particular benchmark on a blue moon with a tailwind blowing.

I would like to know how many times does this particular hearing officer go against the state, go against the school.

I would like to say that I see the market broadening, ... But I really don't. People have been talking about the Russell 2000, because that has been performing so well. It's 2000 of the smallest stocks. Now, the problem is though that most of the gains have been in the health care area, which are the biotech stocks. And that's up over 50 percent since the end of the year. And the other area is the technology area, which has been up substantially. And that's what's been lifting that particular index.

I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not everyone is suited for any particular field.

I would not go to the extent of global desertification, because preventing rainfall in a particular region would leave the vapor in the air and that would eventually rain more elsewhere.

Usually one or two things happen: Either you have an idea straightaway-the sort of sound that you want or the instrumentation or one particular sound that you want to feature-or you don't.

Utter happiness is a fallacy. The best most of us can hope for is that occasional span of time which occurs at irregular lengths and intervals throughout our lives wherein for an all too ephemeral period, nothing in particular sucks about living.

U.S. healthcare insurers process over five billion claims annually and the ability to accurately verify medical necessity coverage early in the process is expected to be a major benefit in expediting claims processing for providers and their patients.
