'The Author' is subtly unflinching in its satirical attack on certain practices in the creation of art and the mediation of violence.

The time will come when, whatever illness you may have, for your body type and health history, there will 'be an app for that' to keep you on your best path to wellness.

Before Enron, I think people were a bit more naive about the way things worked, and I think Enron pulled the curtain back on unsavoury practices that turned out to be a lot more widespread.

A very big passion of mine and that of the people that run our production is finding factories that have fair labor practices and treating them more like partners in our family than people just who are going to produce for us.

I think that in Mexico, we must change some practices that were built during the 72 years of predominance in Mexico. Former presidents would just hide away, run away or disappear. And I think it's key in a democracy that presidents face people, see eye to eye to citizens and work to keep on contributing to the - to Mexico.

Medicare is a monopoly: a central-planning bureaucracy grafted onto American health care. It exercises a stranglehold on the health care of all Americans over 65, and on the medical practices of almost all physicians. Medicare decides what is legitimate and what is not: which prices may be charged and which services may be rendered.

The emphasis on innovation and technology in our companies has resulted in a few of them establishing global benchmarks in product design and development, manufacturing practices and human resource capabilities. However, there is no room for complacency.

Although the FCC has tried to introduce net neutrality rules to avoid abusive practices like favoring your own services over others, they have struggled because there has been more than one court case in which it was asserted the FCC didn't have the authority to punish ISPs for abusing their control over the broadband channel.

My advice to organizations I work with is always to be proactive rather than simply reactive when it comes to human rights issues. After all, the important process of improving company policies and practices must be carried out without having to be prompted by a labour strike, factory collapse or other crisis.

One of the great things he provided during the week under certainly difficult circumstances was great leadership. He was there for the players. He expressed to them they came here to get an education and play basketball. He was very positive. Our practices were outstanding.

Obviously, what we had wasn't working and the girls adjusted well and enjoyed themselves, which isn't always an easy thing to do when you are losing. We've got four practices before our next game and now we've got a new angle. Change is good.

one of his best practices ... since he's been here.

One basis for society is that of helping your neighbor -- but in the software world this is piracy. To prevent this, the U.S. is putting in place practices which are like those in the former Soviet Union -- computerized guards, propaganda in favor of licensing, rewards for informing on co-workers, and penalties which make distributing software as serious a crime as armed robbery.

More than anything, it has been trusting and having confidence in our kids. It has been a lot of fun this year. Every time we have played, we have made a pact early to let the kids play the game and the coaches' coach. That is really what we did all year long. We have changed up some routines to enjoy it more. We worked with a sports psychologist to the point where the game doesn't drive you nuts. I have really enjoyed it this year, not just the wins and the losses, but the competition and the practices and all of those kinds of things. It's a learning process that we all go through.

No. If we were ready we wouldn't need three practices and another game; but we're getting there.

Obviously, the quarterback being elected the captain of the team shows that our players have confidence in him, they think he's going to be the right guy and a leader. He has lined up as the number one guy for 12 practices in the spring. I think our players have confidence in him.

Obviously, it hurts a lot. He's battling to get past that. It's going to be tough the first couple of practices to get used to having a hurt finger. He's not going to give up. He's always playing hard. Whether that thing is falling off, he'll still play, even if he has to tape it on.

My first year, he'd miss tons of practices and still come out and play good.

I don't know, but that is what we have five more practices for. Right now, we just know that we have to improve. I think there was a lot of improvement from game 1 to game 2, but we'll have to play a lot better in game 3.

I have found indications of unacceptable and unsafe practices on the front lines. The systems are in place, but they aren't necessarily being used to make good judgments.

I don't know (what happened). I wouldn't say it was a lack of effort or we relaxed after the Arizona game. The practices we had after the Arizona game, we were focused. We all knew what we wanted.

Many of the regulations put into the new bill we already have best practices and do that.

We made a lot of improvements and a lot of changes. It's coming together really well. We're getting more intense. Our practices are better because we really want to make it to playoffs.

When we started right in the first game it was tough no practices at all. But coming in we showed we could play as a team right away. The first game started the whole tournament.

Lending practices have become so aggressive that many people are qualifying for mortgages above and beyond the old guidelines.

Let's talk about policing and public safety. Let's debate what works and what does not. We must abandon practices that do not work, and do more of the things that actually do work to save lives.

Most organized sports-related injuries (about 62 percent) occur during practices rather than games.

Since we all live in a watershed, we need to be aware of the conservation practices that are installed and areas that need to be improved. Buckeye Creek is an excellent opportunity for farmers, urban residents, city and school to work together to improve their natural resource concerns.

Shaking's great. Shaking's one of the oldest practices known to man. Standing round a fire and connecting with the earth and moving energy through the body because it's where a lot of our stuff can get trapped. Yeah, I would recommend it.

Shaking's one of the oldest practices known to man. Standing round a fire and connecting with the Earth and moving energy through the body because it's where a lot of our stuff can get trapped.

She has shown a lot of leadership in terms of organization and getting the girls going. It is a good quality in a captain and this year since we have missed a lot of practices and games-and with me being an off campus coach-it is good to have someone like her as the captain who I can call.

She is a pretty good free throw shooter. She went through a rough stretch when she wasn't shooting the ball well. But she practices it and she figured out what she was doing wrong. As long as she gets to the line those are free points and you have to get those and capitalize on that.

She researched the team, each of the players and the school. And she had a plan written out, regarding the layout of practices in the short amount of time we had to prepare for our first game, in less than a month.

She is probably as intense in the room as you want. She practices right with them.

She came here and wanted to work hard. She asked how we could make her better. She practices just as hard as she plays.

Magic has been around forever, and it's also been in trouble forever. I'm not suggesting that there was ever a time when the practice of magic was celebrated by those in power. Actually, such practices were routinely demonized by monarchs and organized religions precisely because magic is inherently democratic.

(MacKenzie) has been stringing great practices together. He had a great game last Thursday and then (Saturday) he got started a little slowly, but then he got into his groove and started to shoot better.

Seniors can be vulnerable to deceptive sales practices in the financial services arena. Sometimes, seniors are specifically targeted by bad actors who try to use scare tactics to sell fraudulent or inappropriate financial products.

She's the first one there and the last one to leave. She always brings a lot of energy to practices and games. She's been like that for four years.

She was a little intimidating, not as a person but just on the court because she's so physical and she's so intense. One of my first practices I attempted to guard her and we were playing to '7' and I think all seven points were scored on me.

She's been cleared to play full-out now. And, if the first two practices are any indication . . . She's just what the doctor ordered.

She's been looking better and better in practices the past couple of weeks. And, you can't just say she's an offensive player. She was guarding their best scorer (Amanda Billy) and did a real good job.

She shoots the ball well from outside and practices it a lot. She hits those consistently in practice.

She's really intense, but she pushes us to do our best. Our practices are really intense but fun.

She's an ideal student in class and of the game. She practices well. She does a lot of training on her own. She goes to extra goal keeper sessions with her club.

Today's 'best practices' lead to dead ends; the best paths are new and untried.
