I think Dale would at least be pleased from that to know that we moved forward in that. He and I had a discussion the week of the Daytona 500 about the HANS because he was questioning me why I was wearing it. But certainly, there were a lot more put into use the weeks following that Daytona 500.

Our jury was touched by FIBROM-L's activity in supporting a group of people facing a debilitating and often misdiagnosed condition.

Our cultural discussion of fat bodies and how we clothe them has nothing to do with health concerns, the obesity epidemic, or the comfort of fat people. It has everything to do with what we expect from women, what we've been told by the fashion industry, and the value we place on 'perfect' bodies.

Photojournalism provokes conversation and thought, which all good journalism should do. The exhibition provides an excellent teaching opportunity, fostering discussion about how we cover events of our time and the needs of society, while talking about the profession and craft of journalism.

I will tell the players, as I've told the coaches, there will be no more questions about it, there will be no more discussion about it, our focus this week will be on the Indianapolis Colts.

It does a real disservice to this discussion to have an analysis that makes unfounded and inaccurate conclusions.

I think it will bring back discussion about Columbine. When Columbine happened it was the topic of the week, and we shouldn't have just moved on to something else. Whether people like the film or not, it's going to make them think about what happened.

I would not expect to see an increase in doctor-assisted suicides here. But I do expect more states will at least have discussion now.

Whilst I agree that dialogue and discussion between members is important, and that members have a vested interest in what's going on in the various teams, I would have thought that it was patently obvious that carrying out this dialogue on such an open forum is naive in the extreme, potentially harmful and reflects badly on the whole club.

We can't get into legal interpretations or discussion with the media at this time. That would be inappropriate.

When it comes to meetings and preparing for that, it doesn't matter if it's a meeting with the U.N.; with a large operator, CEO, or chairman; or if I have an internal meeting - in all cases, I know that the energy and the engagement in every discussion is extremely important.

With all the discussion about me being traded or cut has helped me realize that the contract I have ran out of guarantees the day I was injured. Therefore each year they pay you to play is a gift.

When I am ready to hit the field this year, wherever it may be, I plan on being better than ever and enjoying the ride.

We're continuing where we left off last week. We've had three negotiating sessions within the last three weeks. Each side left willing to continue the discussions.

We had a long discussion about that, ...

The fact that we are in discussion with the government is a good sign.
