Everybody agrees that the brain is a remarkable machine. It's capable of generating an enormous number of phenomena, some of them very obvious and some of them less obvious.

The gallery is generating work for the masses.

Theology necessitates an image of God as a conscious, rational, supernatural being of unlimited power and scope who cares about humans and imposes moral codes and responsibilities upon them, thereby generating serious intellectual questions such as: 'Why does God allow us to sin?'

Kudos to you for generating enough sweat that it actually drips off of your body - and all over the machine you are using at the time. If you sweat a lot, that's fine, but wipe down the damn machine when you're done... or I will confront you, and it will not be pretty.

In order to have quality journalism you need to have a good income stream, and no Internet model has produced a way of generating income that would pay for good-quality investigative journalism.

Until now, financial institutions have controlled who is able to obtain credit and the rates people pay.

We use humor and metaphors to break through the clutter. We strive for intelligent/clever humor, with hopes of generating more than a chuckle.

We set out to measure 25 brands in this growing hospitality category. However, in the minds of ultra-wealthy consumers, the Destination Club industry is still in its early stages of development. This is indicated by the dramatically low consumers awareness, rendering a large number of brands unable to be rated for lack of a reliable statistical sample. The category is populated with new brands with highly generic brand names. Many names are quite similar, generating a significant lack of differentiation in the minds of consumers. In this highly fragmented category, few brands have generated sufficient awareness, or differentiation, to make a strong impression on the wealthy. This accounts for the tight variances in scores across most dimensions on luxury status.

I'm all for past influences; the question is whether they are deterministic.

From what I remember about Ronald Reagan, the last thing he would want is for 50 states to expend resources and time generating pretty proclamations that have no practical impact.

It confirms that this recession in 2001 was not particularly mild or as short as some folks had thought, ... We were expecting at least two negative quarters, and the fact we had three is a little bit of a surprise.

I think with Al there was always this thought that he was just a slapshot. (But) he controlled the defensive zone, he was able to control the pace of the game, and he had the ability to make great passes.

It seemed like he was almost getting better as he got older.

It gives them an incentive to market the film aggressively to their constituents. Then they can use the festival not only as a promotional opportunity, but as a fundraising opportunity as well.

Later in the game, the third time through this lineup, it?s very tough to get this team out.

MGM wanted to elevate the Pink Panther brand to a more adult audience for the 40th anniversary in 2004.
