I have had a lot of tough decisions since coming to the University of Cincinnati, ...

I have great confidence in Judge Roberts legal scholarship, his integrity, and his commitment to the rule of law.

My decisions don't always work out, but they're never done with any deception toward the player.

I managed in Philadelphia for four years. The whole East Coast, obviously, the atmosphere is a lot different than out West or even in Milwaukee, Chicago or any of those cities.

I don't think it's a journalist's job to issue shopping lists or policy descriptions.

If we see numbers go down, it's still not enough. It would be nice to be able to eliminate all crashes.

If tribes like the Rumsey tribe, who have demonstrated a shared commitment with local governments, are not permitted to participate in local planning decisions by formal means, the governor is then, in effect, encouraging tribes to remain aloof and apart from their communities and it's horrible public policy.

If those train wrecks and if that gamesmanship is being driven by broad political forces, narrow margins in the House and the Senate, divided party government, difficult decisions that have to be made, genuine differences that exist, mobilization of interest groups if all of those things are true, you are going to find vehicles to have those fights, whether you have a two-year budget cycle or not.

If the board isn't keeping the association informed and making decisions that are proper for the association, then a management company can't make those decisions or set the agenda or force them to spend money on things that need to be done.

If the European Union decides not to keep its word, if its own leaders decide to forget their signatures beneath the decisions they've made before the ink has even dried ... if they decide to ignore all this and impose new conditions that Turkey will never accept ... then of course in that case this kind of partnership can never be.

He would have the last say-so in terms of what ultimate decisions are made.

He saw the field really well, made quick decisions and I thought he threw the ball with really good accuracy, especially down the field.
