For any writer, the ability to look at a sentence and see what's superfluous, what can be altered, revised, expanded, and, especially, cut, is essential. It's satisfying to see that sentence shrink, snap into place, and ultimately emerge in a more polished form: clear, economical, sharp.

What the public hates the most is when they think the politicians aren't listening to them. They understand that we can't solve all their problems with a snap of our fingers, but they sure want us to try because we are public servants.

How many times have you opened a book, read the first few sentences and made a snap decision about whether to buy it?

We had no shot of making that one. You have 1.26 seconds and (holder) B.J. (Sander) has a clock in his head, as do I, and the snap came back way behind him. He was trying to rush to get it around and when it's that far off, you kind of lose the bearing on where the spot is.

We have six games left to snap back.

Like Honeycrisp, SweeTango has much larger cells than other apples, and when you bite into it, the cells shatter rather than cleaving along the cell walls, as is the case with most popular apples. The bursting of the cells fills your mouth with juice. Chunks of SweeTango snap off in your mouth with a loud cracking sound.

One snap shot of me walking down the street from a camera above, sure that's not really an invasion of privacy, but when you're able to connect the dots of my entire routine throughout the day, that's another story. Our laws haven't kept up with that, and yet technology is creating those problems for us.

Maybe this guy (Denney) won't mess up twice in a year after he's done it in 10 years, ... But if we were to cut this guy, he would have gotten claimed. And if you watch him snap you would feel the same way. We're not going to second-guess anything that we did.

Obviously this is a great victory. Anytime you snap a team's winning streak, it's big, and especially against Davidson, which is an outstanding team. I'm just happy for our players. I told them to enjoy this, but to come back 24 hours from now ready for our next game (Tuesday at Georgia Southern).

No comparison. That first year, you don't know what to expect. You're not sure of yourself. You haven't taken a snap against a defense. There really is no comparison.

Nigel: Hi there. Sorry if I took a snap at you at one time. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat.

One of the great things about being older is you can be a sounding board, a good listener. But to be honest, I'd just as soon look down a loaded shotgun barrel than snap my fingers and suddenly be 94 today! Growing old isn't for the the weak at heart. The hardest thing would be to see your body backfire. And the whole wrinkle thing is really odd.

I was real nervous the first snap I've ever taken. The guys did a good job of kind of hanging with me, and luckily we were able to put something together there at the end.

But sooner or later you snap out of it, and you realize maybe that wasn't a good thing. Maybe that wasn't helping me process the emotional trauma. You feel this emotion, but it's not real.

Bay Area public services have not kept pace with demands of our economy and growing population. Freeways are jammed, commutes are longer, the power supply is vulnerable to a hot summer, and water systems could snap in a major earthquake. Well aware of this, business leaders can be optimistic that negotiations between the Governor and the Legislature on an infrastructure bond are focusing on what gets funded not if there's a need for funding.

I feel very in control. It's just breaking the huddles and getting the guys to the huddle, and getting a snap count called correctly and know where to go with the ball.

I can't really say what it's going to be like. It's kind of like the snap of a ball: You have no idea what will happen until you're in the middle of it.

Four plays really changed the game. The fumble on the kickoff return; a pass interference call that was the wrong call in the second quarter that would've given us the ball in scoring position; the snap hitting our kid in the face when he was in motion; and that 80-yard touchdown run. If one or two of those had gone differently, we could've been right in the game.

I don't think it's realistic to expect someone to snap (with his left hand) and also be able to block with that right hand. I think we're going to be patient, let it heal and then it depends on what kind of restricted device on that hand.

He was a real kind of lawyer's lawyer and what he cared about was the craft and that was a very striking thing about him. He's a very careful, serious lawyer and not someone who makes a snap judgment.

Knowing the kind of coach Frank Beamer is, he knows we could have sacked the quarterback 150 times -- that they lost the game because their punter drops the snap and because they miss a field goal at the end.

If you research music, the foundation of most contemporary music originates from the South. It's just the natural progression of time and music that it comes back to the place where it originated from.

Yeah, that's cool but we also gotta learn how to have fun.

We have total faith, trust and confidence in the guy. The guy has a tremendous amount of ability. He's going to be a long snapper for a long time in this league so the question is do we want to take the time to develop that or do we want to let him go snap for somebody else?

We don't change our snap count very often. That helps a lot. And, we put a lot of emphasis on not getting false starts. It's important to us, and when it happens, you're really disappointed in yourself. It's not something that just slides by on our team.

While a late-winter cold snap or cool spring could whittle down some of the storage surplus, it is probably too late to prevent stocks from ending the heating season at record-high levels.

Well they're frustrated and I can understand that. We're frustrated. People are asking me around town 'What are you going to do?'

We're doing all we can do right now.

We'll re-evaluate everything from center snap to what the coaches are doing and see how we can get better.

You know, we practice with it (noise). We practiced it out there today (Wednesday). I scream at the top of my lungs so that they can hear the snap count in practice. We work at it, but I think the biggest thing is just concentration.

We know Jordan has a strong leg. He kicks them from 40 yards in practice. But you have to get the snap and the hold. It looks easy on TV, but this is high school and it isn't that easy.

You do not come back from those depths just by making some shifts here and there and cherry-picking a few issues you think are popular. It just isn't that easy. The notion that you can just snap your fingers after falling from the high 60s to the low 30s, that you can give a speech, propose some infrastructure spending and say some things that you think pull you back to the center is naive in the extreme.

We practice no-huddle offense at the end of practice every day. You can't drop the snap on a play like that, you can't do it. I don't give a (darn) if it's high school ? you just can't do it.

There is a bit of a spending pick-up, driven by Christmas, and the cold snap got people out buying clothes. But I think it is going to drop off fairly sharply in the new year -- I would still be avoiding the sector.

When you get on a roll, like we have been on in the past, I would say that the concentration level is at an extreme. It needs to be better and the obvious things are the penalties. You have to focus in on those things, on the technique, concentrate on the snap count and make sure you are not lined up in the neutral zone and those types of things.

When you get a good cold snap in December and then it warms up and snows on top of the ice, it is real dangerous.

When you are in an away game like that, you are going to tip a bit because of crowd noise and you can't hear the snap count. You just have to go out there and play. No matter if you are tipping a play or not, you still have to run it correctly, and they still have to stop it. They are going to be guessing, as well. We saw some things they were tipping, and they saw some things we were tipping. That's just football.

When we've had company-specific disappointments like this over the past two years, we've seen buyers come in after the midday to snap up bargains. If that doesn't happen, it could be very bad.

The recent cold snap seems more like a last hurrah for Old Man Winter, and with barely a few weeks left in the winter season, inventories for natural gas remain in near record territory. This will ensure that any price gains for natural gas in the aftermath of today's report will be limited.

We've never really played a quarterback like Brad Smith. We've just got to wait until the first snap and see.

We fumbled a snap and gave them a short field and I know we missed a block and a lineman came clear through and hit our quarterback and we fumbled, ... That's an area that we strongly emphasize, is playing keep possession of the ball. We don't care if it's a fifth-string backup or a starter, we're not big fans of a turnover.

We knew Andalusia was the kind of team that was going to get a lot of yards just because they're so big. We had to show some patience against them. We felt if we could keep making them take another snap they would eventually make a mistake. In a lot of ways, our defense was our offense.

Throughout the week I just tried to take every snap I could. When my number is called, I just have to keep it between the white lines.

We were playing a team we had beaten twice, and King came out determined and ready to play. But we were able to snap out of it and eventually get things going.

We're trying to get an update on where everybody is at right now. Everybody was talking two or three weeks ago about the health of our team, but back then it didn't mean much because we had a lot of time. Now, if we lose a guy we're going to have to make a snap decision right away, and it's really going to mean some difficult decisions.
