Big government is indeed big, and like another big creature, the sauropod dinosaur, government has a primitive nervous system: The fact of an injury to the tail could take nearly a minute to be communicated to the sauropod brain.

Obviously, fans are the beginning and end for any artist. The minute your fans embrace you and accept you, you begin this ride of being in music and having a career doing something you love. You get to go be a kid and live out your dreams by performing music for fans who come out to your shows.

Directing is like looking at the stars on a cloudless night. You get away from all light sources, and you look up, and you see 50 points of light. And a minute later 100 and another minute later 1,000 and then 10,000. And then this swirling gigantic carpet above you, and somehow it all seems to connect.

We've already got things lined up, and we'll be rocking and rolling the minute the clock strikes midnight.

We started three guys who haven't played a minute of Division I basketball in this type of environment, and I thought they showed a lot of poise right from the beginning. I thought we competed on every possession right to the end of the game, which was what we had hoped we would do.

We start a lot form Tom's feet at center back. Stefan takes over at the midfield and controls things from that point on. He's more or less the distribution source for everything. And Jon and Steve are just really solid workhorses in the midfield. They could play in every minute of every game and through overtime. They're just real fit specimens.

When you think of those overtime games, some of the others that were ours to win going into the last minute or so, I know ? we all know ? it would a be a different season if we had him.

Whether you do stand-up comedy or write a story, you have a duty to deliver. As a comedian, you walk out on stage, and you have a minute to hook them, or they'll start booing.

We're ready for that. If the referees let us play tough, physical play, we are ready to compete and we are ready for every minute of the game.

We're quite different. When these guys are getting a rebound a minute ... it changes everything.

We were a minute and a half away from the Finals -- big deal, ... It's about winning a championship.

The refereeing, right now, is getting out of hand. We have five games or four games and we have three red cards, it is unacceptable, ... The handball in the 89th minute was pretty obvious, everyone is fighting for their lives, fighting for the playoffs and we cannot lose games because someone had a different view of the game

Wayne is like a dog on a lead at the minute and we can let him off on Wednesday,

We developed the design and the concept to sell, and we were pretty close to selling it to Fender, ...

They're great guitars, they look beautiful, sound great.

We're 5-0 down with a minute to go on this one.

The problem with this rushed approach to fitness is that the body doesn't respond to sudden exercise and unhealthy dieting in a favorable manner. In fact, people who strive to get fit at the last minute risk injuring themselves from doing too much exercise too soon. The body needs time to adapt to a new exercise program through gradual increases in duration and intensity.

We're helping our customers enjoy the digital lifestyle by giving them virtually anywhere, anytime access to their already personalized and customized Web-based communications and entertainment services.

We've talked about having killer instinct and putting teams away. But we gave up a goal in the last minute (of the second) and that's something that seems to be repetitive in our game over the last few weeks and we've got to address it. This isn't the time of year you want this to happen.

When I looked in their eyes when we called a time-out with a minute left, there wasn't any doubt that they weren't going to win a ballgame. When you're 23-1, that means you've found 23 ways to win. They knew they were going to find No. 24.

When 'Twilight' hit the New York Times bestseller list at number 5, for me that was the pinnacle, that was the moment. I never thought I would be there.

We're going against three of the best pitchers in the National League, and if you look one minute past today, you're going to be in trouble. If you start looking down the road, you're going to get sideswiped.

Many people wait until the last minute to get their tickets,

Shetland has always been a place of sanctuary for me. I visited when I dropped out of university, and I just loved it from the minute I got there. It's a bleak but very beautiful place.

She was very upset. She had a goal, and breaking a minute is a milestone like the four-minute mile.

She was tired and tripped. I knew she was OK and wasn't going to die the minute it happened. She's fine and in the van now, costing me money.

She was really a beautiful baby. That part was very evident the minute she was put in your arms.

She's really improved a lot. She went from being a minute to two-minute player to a 10- to 12-minute player. It really comes from her desire to do the little things. She's not going to score 15 points a game, but she is going to do all the little things. That has increased her playing time dramatically.

She's a high-strung, high-intensity individual. She's an excellent student, too. She's intense, she's very competitive, and as hard-nosed as any kid out here. She bangs and bruises, will play hurt, and will give you everything she's got every minute she's there.

Shoppers are outsmarting the stores even more this year and waiting until the last minute to get the best deals,

Since the minute the Auburn game ended, there were a lot of questions from the press - 'Can you follow this up?' Tech is 1-3 in games following an upset of a Top 25 team under Gailey, so it's certainly been a problem ... but I think right now there are enough senior leaders on this team that have seen what happened in the past and are determined not to let that happen again. If they lose this game it's not going to be because they weren't focused and ready to play.

She plays every minute of every game and genuinely cares about the outcome. She deserves the recognition.

Mr. Irvin's heart attack was a classic case that happens every minute of every day in the United States. There was nothing to suggest ... that Mr. Irvin's clog was due to some outside catalyst.

No one saw this coming. Now they know who we are and we are going to have to come back and work even harder. It was a great ride, and I enjoyed every minute of it. For me, it was the best year of coaching in my nine years here. I felt they played for me every game and gave it their all, and that's all a coach can ask for.

No one has any respect for someone who can play a million notes per minute but can't put together a decent tune that someone can sing to or feel some sort of emotion from.

In my gut, I feel like they're okay. But with each minute that passes, I begin to wonder. . . . This is one of those situations where I would love to do whatever I could to help . . . but I don't even know where to start. It's tough to focus on anything right now because I'm very concerned.

Murdoch thought he had a deal with Time Warner, then, at the very last minute Time Warner went the other way, over to MSNBC.

My acting has always been in the world of comedy, but in my writing, other than writing sketches, I really am drawn to the balance between comedy and drama. I like things that sort of toe that line of one minute you're in this emotional space and then all of the sudden something happens.

My family are all coming down to the game tomorrow and although it is very last minute they are all excited.

No I don't think it's belated and no it's not a last minute move. (Prosecutors) actually had notice that we wanted interviews for several weeks.

Nextel is focused on the emerging market where wireless penetration is minute and growth potential is still ahead.

Obviously, this game was a struggle from minute one. We clearly lost the game in the first half. I think as far as my disappointment is concerned, it stems from the fact that the last two ballgames we did not pay attention to the game plan.

Obviously, he had the limitations, but you would have never known it. There was never a time that he let that be a hindrance. I thought that was just tremendous on his behalf. And he loved every minute of it. He always had a smile on his face.

Obviously, as you say, there's the top three guys that probably go in the top three picks. There's a lot of quarterbacks to be taken after that. Hey, I'm happy to be here.

right before the final runway show taped for (her Bravo style series) Project Runway , and I loved having a quiet minute with Michael.

People wait until the last minute to go to the bankruptcy lawyer's office because they don't want to be in the bankruptcy lawyer's office.

I was still haunted by my last minute adjustment before qualifying. I am still trying to get the brakes all dialed in. I still couldn't come into the braking zones with authority until half way through the race. I caught back up and it was just a matter of 10 to 20 feet every braking zone because the Performance Friction Brakes were working well once it was dialed in.

I guess I got greedy after the 3,000. I knew I had the ability to be there and I thought another medal might be in the mix and I didn't run nearly as well.

I got to watch these athletes show their medals and pictures of competition. It's something I fell in love with the minute I walked into it. It was an awakening to see great young kids do such a good job.

I didn't want Vijay last night, ... I enjoy playing with him, so I chose to play with him if I could get it done. It was a great match, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. You know, is he going to beat me 8 of 10 times? I think so. But in a one-day time, I have just as good a shot as anyone.

I did recording sessions as a musician as well as a background vocalist and enjoyed every minute of it. I remember singing harmony with Waylon Jennings on a few songs that were hits. Chet Atkins always put me up so high that I strained to hit every note. It was a lot of fun.
