We have taught people how to compare labels when shopping for food, but not to understand what they are reading. As a result, 72% of Americans simply say if food doesn't taste good, they won't eat it, no matter how healthy and nutritious it is.

Steve Bodhaine

He may very well see this as the high noon. I think he's actually under the belief that he's not simply a doctor now. I think he wants to be a jailhouse lawyer.

Geoffrey Fieger

When a mature and able manager feels bored, he should seriously consider changing jobs, changing companies or simply retiring. It is not fair to anyone for half a leader to hold a full-time leadership job.

James L. Hayes

GUILLOTINE, n. A machine which makes a Frenchman shrug his shoulders with good reason. In his great work on _Divergent Lines of Racial Evolution_, the learned Professor Brayfugle argues from the prevalence of this gesture -- the shrug -- among Frenchmen, that they are descended from turtles and it is simply a survival of the habit of retracing the head inside the shell. It is with reluctance .

Ambrose Bierce

People will race our event simply because of the terrain and scenery in the (Shenandoah) Valley and the people.

Matt Butterman

They are simply revealing who they are, and they are making it known to those of us what death-tax repeal is really about. It's about class warfare, and it's about a group of people whose belief system is that one of government's jobs is to take property away from those who have gathered property in their lifetime and redistribute it.

Dick Patten

Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Don Miguel Ruiz

We did some amendments to the plan that don't just apply to the corridor . . . I think it might be the perception that some of the code changes were for the corridor, but that's simply not the case. They apply citywide.

Courtney Harris

The materials that are now being publicly released are simply an effort to 'try' the case that (Barrett's office) could not win in court in an adversarial process.

Barry Simon

We're past the era where denial of service simply happens because kids are looking for a good time.

Dan Kaminsky

There is a potential for the liability of Medford and the Medford Water Commission. Medford Water Commission can not simply ignore precedent of supplying districts, new or old.

Cliff Beebe

Call it counter-deflationary action. Call it an anti-double-dip dose. Call it a pro-asset-price-prop. Call it a consumer caress. One thing for sure is the Fed is running out of reasons for simply holding policy steady at already historically low rates.

Dave Gilmore

While activism will assuredly rise in 2006, the movement will likely abate. Activists will increasingly be held to a higher standard. Do they have a proven record of value creation? Does their plan make sense? Or are they simply mischief makers?

Paul Taubman

Personal law is simply the thought that controls your mind and your life more than any other thought. Finding that thought is the most valuable knowledge that you can have about yourself. It is like the leverage on personal change. It enables you to change very efficiently.

Leonard Orr

I think it is too simple to suggest that it's simply Mr. Harper's fault.

Joe Clark

We're simply following through on that.

James Avery

For us, it was a chance to learn about and gain experience using the equipment that measures odors. This is not a case of someone simply being able to grab the equipment, go out and take measurements. Our people had to receive a great deal of training and their noses actually had to be 'calibrated,' to do the study.

Wayne Gieselman

The reason was that there simply weren't enough Hispanic - forget Puerto Rican - Hispanic male and female dancers at the time who could do the kind of professional job that was needed for Jerome Robbins' choreography, which is, you might have noticed, extremely complex and very difficult.

Rita Moreno

This isn't a demand. It's simply a respectful request to satisfy his desire to be closer to home.

Seth Levinson

Bottom line, refinery demand simply isn't there.

Jim Ritterbusch

The obscenity law is still mired in inconsistency. It simply does not give clear directions as to what is allowed to be sold or not sold to consenting adults.

Andrew Chatham

At that time, Brigham City was a town of 5,000 people. There simply wasn't enough housing.

Kathleen Bradford

I don't think anyone can accuse me of having put my interests ahead of the party's or the country's. I simply felt this was the right thing to do.

Peter Mackay

On top of all these difficulties we find that many people do not reach our centers early enough, either because they do not find transportation or because they are simply scared of moving around the city after nightfall, when the streets are unsafe.

Richard Veerman

We simply are swamped.

Linda Davis

They simply destroy us out here.

Marshall Goss

I did everything I could, gave it my all, but I wasn't able to 'do the doors' this time like I did the first five elections, and that was the big difference. I wasn't surprised I lost, simply because I wasn't able to do the doors.

David Blaska

It's no doubt as shallow and disingenuous as Katz's numerous failed political campaigns. Local 98 simply held him accountable for his double-speak, and he's hated us ever since.

Frank Keel

A mistake is simply another way of doing things.

Katharine Graham

What the insurgency is about is not a mystery. It's not a puzzle. They're not hiding it. They're broadcasting it. Let's try to understand it politically, rather than simply have [our] own preconceptions and dismiss it as propaganda.

Rob Malley

In the absence of assurances that such orders are valid and enforceable, the flow of pretrial discovery from the government to criminal defendants in sensitive cases would simply come to a stop.

Richard Stearns

Eventually, a second runway at the airport needs to be developed. But we don't have a runway constraint at present. We don't have an airspace constraint. We simply need more international gates.

Ben Baldanza

She was Anna and that was it. There was not a vain bone in her body. She dressed simply, but always in good taste. She never gossiped. And she was appreciative of whatever was done for her.

Helen Linhart

Life becomes precious and more special to us when we look for the little everyday miracles and get excited about the privileges of simply being human.

Tim Hansel

I am so disappointed. I simply feel they should be open Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 and 6. This is rather upsetting.

Dana King

The Administration's proposal to change to crop insurance and payment limits must be addressed in the larger farm policy discussion not simply as a budget cutting measure. Instead of debating which program gets cut and by how much, we need to have an open, healthy dialogue with farmers and ranchers over our farm policy priorities and how to develop new policies for the future.

Ralph Grossi

Sometimes what we call love is just a settling of old scores, or a seeking of forbidden pain, or a circuitous path to the kingdom of cruelty, or she may simply have confused lack of capital with heroism while searching for rescue without knowing from what.

Anne Roiphe

Product placement is simply putting a branded box of cereal on the kitchen table in a show. Product integration is having the characters talk about the crunchy deliciousness of the cereal or provoking them to go out and tell their neighbors to buy that cereal.

Patric M. Verrone

The market simply thinks that there's not enough oil on the market and is theorizing that were going to see continued high levels of consumption.

Peter Gignoux

It's not how much you do, it's how often you do it. It simply doesn't matter if you make some monumental effort at any given time. You have it in your to give that extra little bit. You know that you could add that finishing touch. You know you can take that extra step.

Marilyn Moats Kennedy

There are simply too many players involved for a (conspiracy) to be plausible.

Charles Mason

There is no doubt we will be sailing Alfa Romeo right at the limit of her ability. That means there is always the risk of something breaking or the technology failing, whether it's a sunfish hitting a rudder, a plastic bag blocking the cooling inlet of the engine or something simply breaking under the strain.

Neville Crichton

It's just never been done. The data is simply there to mine.

Gidon Eshel

It is simply unthinkable that someone would beat another human being for sport. We need to send a message to these abhorrent criminals that being homeless does not make you target practice.

Rep. Priscilla Taylor

Simply touting 'one bill' and bundled discounts will not realize the full potential of bundled services. Service providers need to integrate different service features in a seamless way and build 'experience-oriented' packages that fit the distinctive needs and lifestyles of various consumer segments.

Deepa Iyer

The command over there basically distributes the armored vehicles to those they think that need them the most, ... Everybody would like to have one, but there's simply not enough in theater right now.

Don Shepperd

It is simply a showcase for new products, technology, design, and building techniques.

Bill Nolan

If you start pandering to young people, you're going to get accused of simply giving people what they want.

Brian Williams

The Emergency Operations Center at the police department is simply not big enough to be used for a major emergency, so we're spending a bit of homeland security money for special lighting, a generator and communications equipment to set up an EOC in the auditorium.

Howard Williams

Captain Kirk never burped out his lines, nor did he simply SPEAK! as IF! Every! Other! SYLlable! WAS! of DIRE! ImPORTance!

William Shatner

There are lots of cops and robbers shows, but what attracted me to this part was that they've cut out all the jargon. There's no, 'Roger, Roger' or 'Over'. We simply answer the phone, 'Yeah, what do you want?'

Ray Winstone

I'm very pleased for them and hoping they'll have a long and successful run. David and I had long discussions, which simply broke down over the issue of the length of time to do it.

Charlie Gibson

This is not simply a competitive scrum for who can scarf up the most charitable donations, but where should the money go to make the rebuilding of that region possible.

Rick Cohen

These infirmities are not simply the result of the passage of time or of old age, as some would suggest, but result from prison authorities' deliberate neglect of his medical needs while in the state's custody.

Annette Carnegie

No politics, no judges' panels. They are very simply a true celebration of consumer choice.

Jerome Kramer

We simply didn't have the financial commitments necessary to put out a quality magazine. It's a decision we all regret, but we had no other realistic choice.

Lou Cannon

We simply must play in a baseball-only facility.

David Samson

We simply want to know exactly how she died. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Li Wei

To write simply is as difficult as to be good.

W. Somerset Maugham

It's simply a matter of extent. If you've got small areas of mold, just a few square feet, it's something a homeowner can clean with 10 percent bleach.

Anu Dixit

You have to consider concerns about the economy and interest rates. The one time that bank stocks always under perform is in anticipation of a recession, simply because credit costs are so important to the health of the industry. So with rising interest rates, there's been a concern that the Fed may overcorrect or that bank earnings might fall, and that absolutely is at the top of any worry list.

Diane Glossman

The drug companies are simply trying to make a profit, ... They are not trying to tell us what the best thing is for our health.

Ron Pollack

This decision does not require shareholder approval. The fund's board of directors can simply decide to hold an offering.

Gregg Wolper

What is right? Simply put, it is any assignment in which the photographer has a significant spiritual stake...spiritually driven work constitutes the core of a photographer's contribution to culture.

William Albert Allard

People are selling Philips simply because there's a little disappointment that they could not ultimately make the unit work.

Krijn Moens

From the suites of Davos to the streets of Seattle, there is a growing consensus that globalization must now be reshaped to reflect values broader than simply the freedom of capital.

John J. Sweeney

Intelligent design is simply the most recent version of creationism, which is admittedly a religious concept. There is no scientific basis to intelligent design.

Alan Leshner

Simply put, the numbers are the numbers.

Bill Chapman

We do have a little time, but not much. . . . If we don't get a serious program in place for the long term in this second post-Kyoto phase, we will simply not make it and we will be crossing limits which will basically produce impacts that are unacceptable.

Michael Oppenheimer

I'm not saying he was never a gangster because he was. I'm simply saying he'd had enough. He wanted out.

Jeffrey Lichtman

Now it's simply (about) getting the financial resources to get this thing finished. You'll never get another chance like this.

Bruce Aylward

There are many things that people think have been done that simply haven't been done. Our leadership has been distracted in this country. Some of the failures are shocking.

Thomas H. Kean

We simply couldn't move the ball at all. We didn't have a first down in the first half, and we only had one until the last couple of minutes. That's not going to get it done, and we have to find a way to get it done. You can make any excuses that you want, but what we did today was not acceptable. We didn't give ourselves a chance to be successful on either side of the ball.

Chris Woods

Broadband is simply the infrastructure for network applications. It is the services and applications that are important, rather than the size of the pipe.

Terry Walsh

Some of the other indicators are suggesting more strength than we see in payrolls. Whether that will be rectified with revisions, or simply with stronger numbers going forward, it's hard to say -- but I would anticipate that, at some point the payroll numbers, will be stronger.

Joshua Feinman

We simply cannot afford to ignore this research any longer.

Bob Watt

The easiest and most important thing a family can do is simply have a conversation about what they would do in the event of a disaster and put together a disaster kit.

Darren Irby

My career is every housewife's dream. Someone drives you to work, when you get there they make you look beautiful, they feed you... and they bring you anything you want. And you get to finish sentences, something it's simply not possible to do around three children. I'm so lucky!

Meg Tilly

When faith and hope fail, as they do sometimes, we must try charity, which is love in action. We must speculate no more on our duty, but simply do it. When we have done it, however blindly, perhaps Heaven will show us why.

Dinah Maria Mulock

Mach-S, the speed at which stress can't keep up, is simply forward motion. But it has to be self- propelled. Note that people in cars are still stressed.

Jef Mallett

My fear is that the Republican reaction to this is negative, ... It's clear to me that the Republican leadership simply is responding to special interests and not to the interests of ordinary Americans.

Richard Gephardt

By tomorrow, we'll have dead patients simply because they were not evacuated.

Norman Mcswain

This is the one question the whole world is currently asking me. Everyone is trying to give me a Beast-tag. But it simply does not work.

Nikolay Valuev

Bringing a lawsuit as a class action like that is simply designed to be sensational and get media attention, which drives up health care costs for everyone.

Jeff Prescott

He was a degenerate gambler. That is, a man who gambled simply to gamble and must lose. As a hero who goes to war must die. Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser, show me a hero and I'll show you a corpse.

Mario Puzo

Since this harness goes on so easily, the dog only knows that his feet were moved. Some dogs simply wait either sitting or standing not realizing that they are leashed.

Pat Clark

It's simply naive and sophomoric to think that Senator Thomas' efforts are somehow late.

Cameron Hardy

Any loss of life is regrettable, but we will simply not tolerate acts of violence against our multinational forces or innocent Haitians.

James Hill

People shouldn't be disappointed by the studies. It's just a wake-up call that simply reducing your total dietary fat is not enough.

Marcia Stefanick

Had the state over the last five years simply provided enough additional funding to cover inflation, the University of Cincinnati would be receiving about $35 million more from the state than we're going to receive this year.

Greg Hand

I personally think that was a mistake. If it was such a serious allegation -- which it is -- they should have simply waited to see if the newspaper would actually print those allegations and then take legal action.

Robert Jobson

Unfortunately, we simply had to be realistic about the fact that 2001 and 2002 to date represent the worst period in memory for general interest magazines.

Tina Brown

There's not a lot of interest in this issue, except when there's something dramatic. By and large, the poor are simply out of sight, out of mind.

Dan Carter

Many people feel if regular is good than premium must be better, ... and that's not the case. Due to advertising, a lot of people think premium fuel is better fuel, when in actuality it simply has a higher octane rating.

Rik Paul

They're a big plus, simply because everyone wants to be at the front of the parade. It's so nice to have someone who wants to bring up the rear. They're wonderful in that way.

Tom Morrissey

I just feel that some things should be privy only to the court and the litigants, and the reason why is simply because I don't want privacies to be invaded.

Richard Karceski

This is a vote that is required if we are going to enjoy all of the WTO trade advantages with a new member of WTO, namely the People's Republic of China. And if we do not approve this, and we go back to simply renewing our annual trade relations, normal trade relations with China, they continue to access our market, but we are locked out of theirs, as we are at the present time.

Phil Crane

The fact that it is set in a phantasmagorical island somewhere in ancient Sri Lanka throws up immense possibilities to explore this cultural hybrid, whether it's through costumes, sets or simply because of the Hindu environment that forms the spine of the story.

Francis Wacziarg

The league simply is out there selling its position. Clearly they have some selling to do. We don't. The players are paid what the owners think they're worth.

Bob Goodenow

I submit, is simply flat-out wrong.

Charles Ruff

Just simply splashing around in the water, if there is sewage contamination there is a risk you could get it onto your hands and get it into your mouth.

Glenn Morris

This level of detail is essential in assisting investors make informed decisions on a residential real estate investment transaction. We are a network funded by activity on behalf of our members so it only makes sense, the more educated our members are and the more resources we provide them, the more money we will make for them. Simply put, we only make money if they do.

Sean Brown

Advances in innovation can't simply be more tweaks to basic decking products, ... For example, in the manufacture of WPC planks, the industry has gone from a 5x4-inch plank to a hollow, or tongue-and-groove, [then] back to a 5x4-inch plank.

Lou Rossi

It is simply an attempt by a group of self-appointed rich clubs to get more money and power out of the game, with no concern for the sports or the fans.

Lennart Johansson

Demographic momentum is such that you can't simply change something overnight. Whatever goal you might set, you have to start doing something about it about a generation ahead of time.

Carl Haub

The necessary investigation, motion practice, discovery and defense scientific testing simply cannot be accomplished without additional time.

Susan Hunt

Simply put, if Congress continues to allow remote sales taxes to go uncollected and electronic commerce continues to grow as predicted, other taxes, such as income and property taxes, will have to be increased to offset the lost revenue to state and local governments.

Mike Enzi

These are regarded as simply Western exercises in self-absorption, self-indulgence and self-flagellation, and completely alien to the Chinese situation.

Roland Soong

This shows the statements by the president's science adviser to be simply wrong when he states that we can't quantify the risks of global warming.

Gary Yohe

A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the façade of his appearance.

Alanis Morisette

Being a woman is of special interest to aspiring male transexuals. To actual women it is simply a good excuse not to play football.

Fran Lebowitz

When the Devil quotes Scriptures, it's not, really, to deceive, but simply that the masses are so ignorant of theology that somebody has to teach them the elementary texts before he can seduce them.

Paul Goodman

At one level, scientists are just simply (angry). Anybody would feel a certain amount of indignation in being told they don't know what they are doing.

Michael Ruse

Aubrey was simply unbelievable tonight. She hurt her shoulder on Wednesday and it was questionable whether she would be able to compete.

Bill Ryden

The materials that are now being publicly released are simply an effort to 'try' the case that the OIC could not win in court in an adversarial process. The only good thing about the current OIC report is that it is the final chapter written under an ill-conceived and dangerous statute.

Barry Simon

This large number of bears simply should not have been shot on the spot the way they were. There were alternatives.

Jim Foulton

The time has certainly passed for someone saying they forgot or were sick, ... Everybody should file. There's just simply no excuse.

Ray Buckley

I think Zelda 64 is utilizing about 90 percent of the N64 potential, ... When we made Mario 64 we were simply utilizing 60 to 70 percent. So we have come a long way I believe.

Shigeru Miyamoto

We're only missing one more piece before it becomes a pandemic and that is the ability to be transmitted from person to person as opposed to simply from birds or fowl to humans.

Irwin Redlener

You can do better than that by simply getting up and taking a 30-minute walk every single day, ... This was a six-month study. What happens with continued use of this? How much is necessary?

Pamela Peeke

Perfectionism is simply putting a limit on your future. When you have an idea of perfect in your mind, you open the door to constantly comparing what you have now with what you want. That type of self criticism is significantly deterring.

John Eliot, Ph.D.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.

James Truslow Adams

His idea was simply what a man's idea always is--to put every effort off on the woman.

Henry James

The way to fight is just simply send a registered letter or an e-mail (to GM). If your vehicle is not reasonably durable and has a mechanical defect, any judge on any bench -- small claims up to the Supreme Court of Canada -- can make that company pay.

Phil Edmonston

If you are not stuck with fixed machinery costs and simply hire equipment when necessary, you have far more flexibility in business decisions. You can reduce or increase production dramatically depending on prices.

David Houghton

He expressed that he watched the entire event. He sent us a message congratulating the team. He's not demanding a victory, simply saying that we play a good game, let the game decide who the best team is.

Pedro Cabrera

There are 18 million businesses in Europe: do you contact each company individually? Is there one opt-out list? Are there competing opt-out lists? They simply don't know how this would work. It is fairly obvious that a global opt-off list won't work. It has already been a failure in the U.S.

Joe Mcnamee

My best guess? Eddy shows up at camp, refuses the test, we go to arbitration and the arbitrator tells the Bulls they simply can't compel him. We'll find out soon enough.

Alan Milstein

We've already cut monograph purchases by 30-40 percent across all disciplines. We can't cut any more; there is simply no more flesh left to cut.

John Ingram

[In contrast, the non-Baxter will simply go with his gut:] he has a spontaneous, 'Hey, what's that thing across the street?' thing, ... And, of course, it's perfect.

Michael Showalter

Simply ceasing activity or dropping production dramatically is not possible. However, many of us are looking at how we can turn fixed costs into variable costs, and options such as contract farming become all the more attractive.

David Houghton

The company simply must have more predictability and stability in the manufacturing of its products.

Jack Wright

It's not necessarily a sign of our aging population, ... It's simply an effort to avoid injuries to partners.

Sally Johnson

Coming off conference you are emotionally spent. So we always come to Penn Relays with the idea that we are going to have fun. We run some relays that really aren't run that often because this is a chance for the kids to go into a relatively low-pressure situation and perform well simply in the name of fun.

Randy Bungard

That certainly does not parallel previous estimates. It may be that communities where blacks live tend to be heavily policed. Black parents may rely upon police more (than other groups) when their kids go missing. There also may be simply more missing-child episodes among black families.

David Finkelhor

You can't simply kill Chapter 19 . . . and expect the rest to live on.

David Emerson

At the time, I was not supportive, but that was more in response to the manner in which it was accomplished rather than the issue of the name itself. It was not intended or used in a derogatory manner. However, there obviously were those who were offended by its use. Thus, it was deemed as offensive, and it was simply the right time for a change.

Mike Berg

We would also like to have in place further education and training made available for players who need to find a new career after rugby has finished, ... Almost everyone wants to stay in the game when they retire from playing but it is pretty obvious that that simply isn't feasible.

Jim Hay

News of me wanting to come back and play for my country is simply not true.

Michael Hughes

Instead, this amendment simply defines what marriage is, the union of one man and one woman.

Todd Akin

The only time the dams are efficient at producing energy is during the spring runoff months. We can't simply flip a switch and release water that isn't there.

Scott Bosse

There's also no evidence that simply worrying about a disease can make it worse.

Alice Domar

We believe the Web site will ultimately replace the 30-second commercial as the central expression of the brand ... The TV commercial over time will become more of a way to simply send people to your Web site.

Brian Mcandrews

Many Republicans in Congress - and perhaps a majority - not only do not care about losing the General Assembly vote but actually see it as a "make my day" outcome. Indeed, once the vote is lost, and the adverse consequences predicted by the U.N.'s supporters begin to occur, this will simply provide further evidence to many why nothing more should be paid to the U.N. system.

John Bolton

This doesn't need a vacuum but it does need a moisture barrier and that can be expensive. The biggest barrier to large scale production is simply cost. It costs very little to make a light bulb today.

Stephen Forrest

He'll soon have dozens of great deals that you simply can't pass up.

Scott Treadway

Television is simply automated daydreaming.

Lee Loevinger

A platitude is simply a truth repeated until people get tired of hearing it.

Stanley Baldwin

We are starting to see users do more with their handheld devices than simply check e-mail. Increasingly, these products support mission-critical activities, such as exchanging sales information with ERP (enterprise resource planning) applications.

Jack Gold

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Choosing to continue to grow spiritually is a part of realizing we are not simply just physical beings, but that we are also spiritual beings. Just like anything else, what you don't feed will die. Attending church isn't just something good for the kids. We, as adults, must continue to grow spiritually as well.

Kelly Sloan

Any attempt to exclude the private school children from full participation in the athletic association is simply not fair.

Larry Bowman

The trip has far more to it than simply the civilian nuclear agreement. If it takes more time to finalize that in a way that will answer questions that the U.S. Congress has and the Indian Parliament has, then that time should be taken.

Karl Inderfurth

Quite simply, we have been lied to.

Ronnie Mamba

We have simply outgrown this space and we want to be able to provide additional community resources in a user-friendly space.

Linda Mccoy

Nokia has based its product strategy on a few product platforms that have been adapted to all digital standards, ... an intelligently conceived market segmentation plan that looked to consumer desire for inspiration, not simply engineering ability.

Peter Richardson

[Environmentalist radicals see doom ahead. But even the suits of Big Oil agree on the underlying facts:] Simply put, the era of easy access to energy is over, ... We are experiencing the convergence of geological difficulty with geopolitical instability. . . . The time when we could count on cheap oil and even cheaper natural gas is clearly ending.

David J. O'reilly

We believe Mr. Campbell is simply ready to take some time out to smell the roses before accepting any new challenges.

David Newman

Today's report simply reinforces the belief that it will be 25 points instead of 50 points.

Michael Englund

There is no truth to these allegations and these allegations are simply made in order to satisfy certain quarters.

Javad Zarif

We were simply defending ourselves and our church. The police can't be everywhere.

Juan Delfin

The conventional wisdom driving this assumption is simply outdated. Marketers who continue to assume that consumer loyalty and affinity for products and services remains fixed as people age will lose market share to those who seek out and directly speak to them.

Mike Irwin

The January trip to New Orleans was more overwhelming than the first two simply because of the density of destruction. In the New Iberia area, houses were destroyed but they were spread out over a larger area. In New Orleans, however, there was block after block of homes that had been completely gutted and other areas where it was clear the houses had been totally destroyed.

Laura Simocko

If you would be applying for a room reservation, say, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, you're likely to get it at a less-expensive rate than if you had applied for it a week ago, simply because the hotel knows that they have that room available and they wish to sell it.

Bill Fisher

That is going to be how you continue to expand the DirecTV experience ... beyond simply television, ... a fair amount of devices of our own.

Chase Carey

I dream that someday the step between my mind and my finger will no longer be needed. And that simply by blinking my eyes, I shall make pictures. Then, I think, I shall really have become a photographer.

Alfred Eisenstaedt

The prudential management approach to risk is where the world is going. Collateral is just simply on the way out as a chief rule, and a chief tool, of regulation. My view is that collateral is just a device to raise costs, and to turn a blind eye to the potential risks of reinsurance failure.

Peter Skinner

These laws have little to do with the problem of teen pregnancy. I think the laws work best simply as protectors of vulnerable populations.

Michelle Oberman

We simply cannot compete and cannot survive long term unless we reduce our (U.S. labor) costs.

Steve Miller

We've recruited a very professional team and it's simply a sign of maturity of our organization that we want the professionals whose careers are at stake in making this thing work properly.

Bob Young

To simply exclude communications from the coverage of FISA and allow secret wiretapping without a warrant would be a clear violation of the 4th Amendment.

Kate Martin

Despite what they tell you, there are simply no moral absolutes in a complex world.

Berkeley Breathed

There simply can be no repeat of anything like the NEP imposed by the federal Liberals in the 1980s. The NEP turned Western Canada's oil patch into a ghost town almost overnight. We can't let that happen again.

Brad Wall

We didn't do a very good job. But we did it all right. The science was all right. We even advocated well. But at the end of the day, a political decision was made that we simply could not influence.

David Wilmot

Mormonism is not simply a commitment to a theology or a church practice, but a social-cultural order.

Sterling M. Mcmurrin

We feel we can be competitive simply because we've played such good people.

Troy Gray

It's certainly reasonable to expect above-normal hurricane seasons for the next decade or perhaps even longer. It's not a matter of if more hurricanes are going to hit the coast, it's simply a matter of when.

Gerry Bell

I like to say that I've never really had a real job, ... But I never looked at modeling from a business standpoint: I'd simply work on things that I wanted to do and sell them when I was done. It was basically a way to pay for my hobby. The purpose wasn't to make money; the purpose was to pay the rent so I could do it full-time.

Sheperd Paine

The reason people miss these is because they simply procrastinate and rush through it. They don't pay attention throughout the year.

Carol Thompson

We're paying a reasonable wage compared to other wages available in the community. I don't know what it would take simply through paying more.

George Krawzoff

No bowler is ever 'cleared' as they could simply revert to bad habits. All bowlers are subject to further reporting if the match officials ... have concerns about whether a delivery or deliveries conform to the laws of cricket.

David Richardson

For many of them there's a limit, and that limit is something that normally isn't reached until there's been a lot of communication with the parent, and a lot of request to repay the loan, and the loans just simply aren't repaid.

Greg Knudsen

Simply absorbing products can cause problems that affect the lungs and skin. And the main cause of contact dermatitis - which can result in rashes or hives - is a reaction to fragrances that you find in cosmetics and laundry products.

Kate Mcpherson

Simply put, the fundamentals that affect our business are creating one of the best markets we've experienced in some time and this strength is both in the public and private marketplace, which is very reassuring.

William Dorey

It's simply new money, not hot money.

Jan Stuart

Food simply isn't important to me.

Alice Paul

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

He told people, 'I'd like to make a story out of that image because it has been in my head all of my life,' ... Aslan simply leapt into the story and dragged all the rest of the Narnian Chronicles along with him. ... I believe that all of this was a gift from God, of course.

Douglas Gresham

I think it's very hard in the modern world to segregate people's personal lives outside of the workday, particularly when workdays have gotten to be so long. People have life crises during the day. The human condition prevents us from so neatly excluding our private lives from 8:00 in the morning to 8:00 at night. People simply function as full human beings.

Joe Grabarz

Academic research is supposed to be peer-reviewed, with the idea being that the best science wins out. But with earmarks, quality has nothing to do with it. Schools get research funds simply because they are in a powerful member's district or have the money to hire a lobbyist.

James Savage

Driving impaired or riding with someone who is impaired is simply not worth the risk. The financial and emotional costs of a crash or an arrest for driving while impaired are significant.

Pete Bodyk

Illinois is an excellent team with a chance to win the national championship. They simply overpowered us today.

Dennis Emery

This is a profoundly disappointing text and a betrayal of development promises. Rich countries interests have prevailed yet again and poor countries have had to fight a rearguard action simply to keep some of their issues on the table.

Phil Bloomer

Some people reproach me for talking like a politician, others say I'm too raw. I just try to communicate as simply as possible.

André Boisclair

Simply because if you look at the music business, there aren't a lot of new artists that can fill up an arena. Realistically, some of the best music today is (by) people like Norah Jones or Alicia Keys (who) are more suited (to) the intimacy of a theater.

Tim Leiweke

We played hard and we contained Elliott, which is what we wanted to do. But we didn't hit shots from the field. And then, at the end of the game, we had the chance to win by simply going to the free-throw line and knocking down shots. I thought we put ourselves in a good position. We just didn't execute.

Marcus Thompson

That's the question. Is there corruption involved? Some improper exchange of favors or anything like that? We don't know that yet. Or is it at best evidence of incompetence -- somebody was simply asleep at the switch?

Dennis Goldford

You simply can't have 90 percent of email and phone and fax traffic coming into a newspaper ombudsman from just one ideological perspective.

David Brock

People love our natural approach to getting healthy. They no longer have to feel they are on a strict diet, being deprived, or following a boring routine. They simply learn to enjoy eating good food and let the herbs work to help them along the way. Everything in this kit is a gift from Mother Earth's garden, and you can't beat that.

Valerie Hoffman

Quite simply we've got an absence of bad news, and investors want to buy technology.
