State constitutions typically provide that the state first has to service its debt, then make it pension payments, and then pay for services.

Greg Harrison

When we went in there, they really started blitzing everybody. They saw Morelli as an inexperienced, second-string quarterback and they brought the house against us. But as a whole, I thought we picked it up well. We had a couple, little miscues, but nothing that can't be corrected.

Andre Holland

When I was in school, and even after, I did a lot of classic plays, and I guess it sort of extended into film.

Hideo Kojima

When I was a child, there really weren't very many video games, but I do have memories of 'Pong.' Maybe it was 'Pong.' It was a home system in Japan, so maybe it wasn't the real 'Pong.' It was just sort of a Japanese game that was similar to 'Pong.'

Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago.
