Paul Epstein
If properly structured, the panel's work will be complementary to our root-cause investigation as well as to the safety audits that BP itself is undertaking. However, the panel will function at arm's length from both BP and the CSB.

Americans will have a hard time taking root in the Russian market.
Kirill Chuiko

At the root of problems such as drug addiction and breakdown of community is the breakdown of the family, and in particular the breakdown of marriage.

Right now it seems like this Shootout is missing a guy in a black hat, the bad guy, the villain to root against. Huggins evoked emotion from XU fans. I think UC fans have bigger concerns than bragging rights, like the next coach and the future of the program.

Susan Tucker
You just can't not root for him.
Scott Williams
Very few of them are not recommended for container growing. But you have to take care of them as they get older. You have to put them in larger containers or they get root bound.

The creative process is like music which takes root with extraordinary force and rapidity.
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Brant is the best example I can give. He wasn't starting, yet he was in front of the dugout rooting for the team. When he got his at-bat, he responded with a hit to the wall. The kids are understanding and embracing the mixing and changes in the lineup better than expected.
Tom Deller
I know that this loss really hurt them. But, that's hockey. We needed to win. To keep this going. They're a good group (Lyman Hall) and, like us they're young.

Paul Mcentire
Punk is the root of this. Everything else is an offshoot. Some of it sticks and some of it doesn't. The best bands rise to the top.

Vincente Fox

Terry Wheeler
The only reason these sorts of stories get the amount of coverage that they do in the first place is that everyone is rooting for a happy ending. People let their optimism for a good headline get in the way of the ... facts.
Andrew Tyndall
He's a great student and leader, kind and competitive at the same time. But what makes Bryan Randall really special is his ability to fight the human impulse to be selfish. How can you not root for him?
Kevin Rogers
Each has been due to a different root cause, which would suggest this is not a systemic issue.
Amanda Tobin

Buddy Gouldsmith
A young man must let his ideas grow, not be continually rooting them up to see how they are getting on.
William McFee
Because contaminants are highly absorbed into the soil, we need to make sure we get roots in contact with as much soil as we can get. We chose grasses because they are very fibrous and have an intense root-forming system.

Steve Weiss
I've bought products from both places, too. For your annuals you can look anywhere, but for heartier plants you want to make sure the root system and the plant overall has been cared for.
Tom Delaney
We are a Christian-influenced clinic. He is the root of our practice.
Leona Tomlinson

Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we know how to understand sex.

Wallace Shawn
Much of the root cause of that is in the early years. Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty and we feel the best way is through education.
Stanley Boynton
Most modern candies, however, derive their licorice flavoring from the anise herb rather than an extract from the licorice root itself. Consequently, eating licorice-flavored candy is probably not a means of cavity prevention. I look forward to seeing more research done on these compounds that have shown to inhibit the chief cavity-causing bacterium.
J. Kavin Kelp
We're close to home, and we have family and friends there rooting for us, and that makes a big difference in your show.

Mordecai Wyatt Johnson
The person who said money is the root of all evil just flat out didn't have any.
Stuart Wilde
I declare I will never return to it. I have no intention of doing so and nobody should even dream about it. I will root this gang out of Indian politics. I will ideologically expose them. They will shiver in their legs. They are foreign elements, but I will not make any personal attacks.
Uma Bharti
It is a historic day for democracy in Nepal. However, without establishing the Constituent Assembly, the handing over of power to the alliance will not resolve the root cause of the crisis in Nepal, which is the Maoist conflict. It is an opportunity to resolve the Maoist crisis once and for all.
Suhas Chakma
I think it?s safe to assume that he?s rooting for his alma mater.
Baker Dunleavy

Doug Pritchard
I got a feeling that it's a root story, a fable, a fairy tale, that we all recognize subliminally perhaps. And consequently we don't mind hearing it again and again and again.
Richard O'brien
We were rooting for them, and they were rooting for us. After they won, they came by our locker room and wished us good luck, told us to represent D.C. We showed each other love all week here.
Ashanti Cook
Alaska Airlines takes this extremely seriously, and we are aggressively investigating this situation to understand the root cause and to take additional action to prevent this from reoccurring.
Amanda Tobin
It does seem so pleasant to talk with an old acquaintance who knows what you know. I see so many new folks nowadays who seem to have neither past nor future. Conversation has got to have some root in the past, or else you have got to explain every remark you make, and it wears a person out.
Sarah Orne Jewett
I started rooting - you know, sticking up joints - with some older guys. By now I had gotten a taste of what the racket world really was - the glamour, the way they dressed, the way they always had a pocketful of money.

Donna Freimark
Many people will completely alter their lives because of foot problems rather than just getting to the root of what the problem really is. You may be surprised at some of the little things you can do yourself to help your feet feel better.
Oliver Zong
I like to keep up with his progress. I am rooting for them every game that they're not playing us. I've got to.
Craig Brehon
There is more similarity in the marketing challenge of selling a precious painting by Degas and a frosted mug of root beer than you ever thought possible.
A. Alfred Taubman
To see that, it brings a different joy. It's a great feeling to witness it and spectate and be a part of this. That's what I'm happy about. Having the chance to root for this team.
Mike Cameron
I believe that racism is at the root of this because if there is any country that qualifies for TPS, it is Haiti. We've met all the criteria and beyond. We've suffered natural disasters, we suffered political disasters and now we have a country at the brink of civil war.
Marleine Bastien
I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I'm rooting for the machines.
Claude Shannon
Having Dan Majerle here was very, very exciting. I figured Central had the edge with Majerle coming back. I knew he was rooting for Central. We just had to show him there's another team in Traverse City.

Because it's so many different issues that are at the root ... of call quality, it's hard for [service providers] to bring all that information together.
Lindsay Schroth
We are really just shuffling the problem around as opposed to dealing with the root cause.
Matt Austin
It really comes down to the fact that, because I was perceived as a bad guy for leaving the show, I think people were rooting against the movies. That was really unfortunate.
David Caruso
The thugs shot off the alarm system before proceeding to the bedroom window where they shot Root and escaped in the darkness.

Murray Walker
Pain is the root of knowledge.
Simone Weil
It was frustrating. It was kind of like last week [against Duke], when I was on the sidelines. You really can't help your team on the bench. The only thing that you can do is root.
Ahmad Brooks
At the root of many a woman's failure to become a great cook lies her failure to develop a workmanlike regard for knives.
Robert Farrar Capon
We will give them one (last) chance by suspending production to root out their unsafe practices.
Li Yizhong

David Heeb
The team is very close and (the players) are genuinely rooting for one another.
Rhonda Faehn
The stuff drives you crazy, if you let it. That's why you can't scoreboard watch. It doesn't do any good 'cause you don't know who to root for anyway.
Chone Figgins
Once, I had rocks thrown at me at Taunton Green for rooting for the Yankees.
Paul Barrett
That should be fun. My wife better be rooting for Southern. But it will be a good game.
David Pyper
You must not deal only with the symptoms. You have to get to the root causes by promoting environmental rehabilitation and empowering people to do things for themselves. What is done for the people without involving them cannot be sustained.
Wangari Maathai
I've grown certain that the root of all fear is that we've been forced to deny who we are.
Frances Moore Lappe
Obedience is detachment from the self. This is the most radical detachment of all. But what is the self? The self is the principle of reason and responsibility in us. It is the root of freedom, it is what makes us men.
Bede Griffiths
If we break into this uproar after every comment -- and I know that you're rooting for your team -- we're not going to get anything done.
Gary Hoffman
I thought that Spencer had him. He had a two-point lead going into the third (period) and he was doing all the right things. You've got to give (Root) credit.
Jerrad Perkins
I'd like to face them, but I'm not rooting for them, if you know what I mean.
Todd Sauerbrun
It's kind of like rooting in the back of a dark closet for an umbrella. I was told there's specific things that happen between Lou and his new girlfriend Candy. It's a delicate situation.
John Scurti
[the whale groans] Dory: Okay, he either said, "move to the back of the throat," or he "wants a root beer float".
Finding Nemo
You fall into my arms. / You are the good gift of destruction's path, / When life sickens more than disease / And boldness is the root of beauty- / Which draws us together.
