Bob Mould

In any event, accessibility is almost as poorly-known now as it was 2.5 years ago when I started work on my book. That's because most 'Web' developers aren't making Web sites at all, since they don't have a clue what valid HTML and CSS means.

William Mcgrath

The bottom line is that, despite some longer-term issues, we think weak industry sentiment combined with some valid company-specific concerns have pushed the stock lower than is justified. We believe that the near-term positives outweigh the near-term risks.

If copper wiring comes in, in a burnt format -- I hate to use that term, but that is what is often done to remove the covering from the copper -- it has lost about 50 percent of its original weight and we have no way of telling where it came from.

Nick Knight

At this point I don't have an opinion on whether anything they claim is valid.

The only valid corollary to this doctrine is not to fix the total budget, or even the budget for each element of the program, ... but to fix the annual budget cap for the program as a whole. That allows each mission date to move to the right as much as needed to stay within that annual cap.

One of the good things that came out of this conference call is they confirmed there was no fraud. But they don't give any valid reasons for terminating Gerald Glenn, who has been the sole CEO since its public offering and has taken the company to new heights.

Robert Belcher

They will be doing polling so that we can get a scientifically valid representation of the feelings of the community about the library.

Richard Treleven

Liberty has turned into licentiousness, and tolerance for dissenters has become little more than rank relativism and nihilism. All perspectives are equally valid, which means no perspective is truly valid.

We are on track to gather the signatures we need, as well as a wealthy buffer because some signatures will not be valid.

Laura Stromberg

Tony Miltich

[Just a few weeks ago, one of Bishop's patients needed emergency gallstone surgery. As the operation was being scheduled, Bishop discovered the patient actually had not been insured under Brown & Toland for more than six months. The out-of-date database, however, showed her coverage as valid.] It was a nightmare, ... We were running around trying to sort out her insurance and get her a doctor.

Barbara Bishop

Anybody can put anything they want on the Internet. A lot of people have little training on evidence and evidence evaluation, and some people draw conclusions, and it's not valid. You need to confirm what you are finding.

Gary Lloyd

Counsel's advice to me was that they (SDI) do not have a valid claim for voting purposes.

David Stempler

American has a valid ratified agreement with the APFA.

Gus Whitcomb

Denny Chin

It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose.

Alice Walker

We heard from the taxpayers, ... I think that's all valid concern. I think the trade-off will be positive. We're going to spend $16,000 to turn that into green space.

Mark Owen

I think there are valid points on both sides.

Peter Roby

This report card does not offer valid ground for reassurance. We have closed half of our hospitals since President Kennedy was inaugurated. In some parts of the state, it means substantially greater travel time to the emergency room.

Alan Sager

They (health advocates) raise valid concerns and help us anticipate problems. We're very concerned about (these groups) and are making sure they transition without any problems.

Jack Cheevers

We have nothing against mandatory health education. We think it's a valid topic that should be part of the curriculum. But this is a Trojan horse to bring a very radical sexual curriculum into the schools.

Kris Mineau

There have been many Methodist churches that have closed in the core, and we believe there is still valid ministry to be done. It just needs to be reinvented, ... We believe God is not done with Methodism in the inner city.

Barry Carpenter

It could be a valid theory if you are just talking monetarily.

Richard Billingsley

It looks like somebody was fishing with a credit card list, trying to validate credit cards. The goal for these guys, if a card is valid, they go off and start buying stuff. All these guys that got hit are going to see other charges.

Tom Kiblin

His message is very much valid today. He was about standing up for what was right. He took part in peace petitions. It's something we need to do now. A lot of what's going on now was going on when Woody was alive.

Jimmy Lafave

The only self-incriminating investigation that is considered valid is a plea of 'guilty as charged'. Since that will not be said concerning the Katrina debacle, the proposed process becomes a 'whitewash' or at least a 'light gray wash' and will not be seen as credible.

Jack Nicklaus

The ecclesial communities which have not preserved the valid Episcopate and the genuine and integral substance of the Eucharistic mystery, are not Churches in the proper sense; however, those who are baptized in these communities are, by Baptism, incorporated in Christ and thus are in a certain communion, albeit imperfect, with the Church.

Pope Benedict Xvi

The Board of Supervisors held a special meeting this morning, ... It was determined Mr. Mecham did not turn in enough valid signatures for this to move forward.

Thomas Webb

In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a "failed experiment." Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.

Adam Savage

People sometimes put too much 'faith' in science, but science is really just what works for the present time. Theories are constantly refuted and challenged. Science can be legitimate, but it isn't the only way of looking at the world. In my mind, religion is as valid as science.

Richard Lopez

We have no idea yet how long it's going to take to get rid of it. We're working on all kinds of different ways to get rid of debris, but we won't know if any of them are valid until we see what we've got to get rid of.

Jean Kelly

That's probably a valid observation - that people who work in the sports department, whether it be at a newspaper or a radio or TV station, probably operate under some different expectations, if not guidelines, than do the more traditional hard- and soft-news reporters.

Tim Wulfemeyer

Frankly it does not sit very comfortably with us because we are raising this issue for the very valid reasons we have outlined.

Chris Moller

David Franks

I think my responsibility is to get as much information as possible and to listen. I certainly haven't come to any conclusions yet, but yes, there are some valid concerns.

Paula Pearson

Akhilesh Pandey

The governor wants the pharmacies to fill prescriptions, if given valid prescriptions, and I think basically as an organization we have the same expectations, but to also insure the right of pharmacists and the right of the patients as well.

Mike Patton

It is the position of the university that any such offers cannot be valid without the express authority and consent of the university as the current legal owner of the Circleville Farm property.

Gary Schultz

We want to see what his line of reasoning was and if it's a valid argument, then perhaps the dollar sells off. If his comments are not as dovish as people might fear, the dollar might rally.

John Cholakis

We have no credible or reliable information that it's valid, ... We contacted our county gang unit, the State Police gang unit, and they have no information to verify this.

William Bailey

I cannot promote an empty parking lot as if it is something of value. I've watched over the past weeks as content rich blogs have disappeared from Technorati results and spam blogs seem invulnerably present. I've also documented certain TAGS that previously had valid results and now show ZERO results.

Fred Wilson

For some strange reason ... he has a valid point. We play as a team, like we should, in practice. Then we get in the game and I don't know what goes on.

Derrick Edmonds

Our basic premise is to determine whether a violation of the Fair Housing Act has occurred. We'll be looking at whether their housing of older-people status is valid under the federal law.

Leon Russell

This past year, we had 55 complaints against individual landowners. Some weren't valid. Some were and we were able to contact individuals to make positive changes in their operational management.

Ray Jaindl

All they had was a permit to explore for metals. Now the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to acknowledge a valid ?takings' claim, which is the heart of their challenge in federal court (too). It seems that now would be the time for them to go away.

Jim Jensen

This is a valid public purpose. We're condemning this so residents have a grocery store within a reasonable distance of their homes.

Greg Smith

Intelligent design is not valid science.

Hunter Rawlings

One problem with ideas, however valid, is that they are static and impersonal, whereas a person is active and dynamic.

William Hull

It is only with valid, credible, good intelligence that we are able to anticipate someone who is trying to cause harm to the American people or to strike us in our territory or to, frankly, attack our special interests around the world. Intelligence is a critical part of our national defense.

Dick Durbin

Our decision is in place, up until now we will still increase by 500,000 barrels a day from August. This decision is still valid.

Purnomo Yusgiantoro

I felt uneasy, but sometimes, like I said before, I believed in Col. North and there was a very solid and very valid reason that he must have been doing this.

Fawn Hall

We believe the auditor raised many valid points last year, and we have given his recommendations significant consideration. As a result, we have made more than 100 operational changes that we believe will be reflected in the next audit.

Justin Dejong

This bill fulfills several valid objectives like encouraging economic development, generating tax revenue for the state, and curtailing air pollution, but it's really about giving consumers a choice.

John Kuhfuss

We are very concerned about the issues raised by Commissioner Irwin. We think they're valid.

Jim Whitaker

This is a big sign-off on downloadable music. It brings some valid and legitimate content to MP3.

Gene Hoffman

We do sting operations on companies or individuals we have received complaints about. It's kind of scary some of the things we find. On one instance, we discovered the individual not only did not have a valid contractor's license, he was a registered sex offender.

Pamela Mares

It really comes down to whether a study is representative or valid, ... You can't get a valid answer from smokers or sick people because anyone who's ever practiced medicine knows that being sick affects weight. We want to know about weight before, not after, people get sick.

Michael Thun

Though the causes may be numerous and valid, the existence of the gap simply means that the completion of the U.S.-funded portion of Iraq's reconstruction will leave many planned projects on the drawing board.

Stuart Bowen

The charter needs to be changed. It was written in 1912, and much of it is no longer valid.

Judy Thomas

The talks with Russia remain valid. The final date of this visit will be Feb. 20.

Javad Vaeidi

But, not everyone, to my chagrin, has gone out and bought a data protection management package. At least having this in the tape library means you have a very valid piece of information that's something a lot of backup guys wonder about, things like 'why does no one track failures across drives? Why didn't somebody tell me this drive fails three times a week'?

W. Curtis Preston

It's not fair to have a kid who has played in Double-A, Triple-A ball competing against a guy who was a star in Japan. The Japanese guys are good. It's a valid league.

Paul Hagen

We hope that everyone that submitted a valid bid will do so again. Robby has a genuine interest in helping build the Harrah's Employee Relief Fund, and all of us here want to help in any way we can. That's why it is so important to re-establish the auction and guarantee that every dollar pledged actually goes to the relief effort.

John Story

It's not a gentleman's agreement; it's a valid, legal contract in every sense of the term.

Mark Ward

There are more African-American men with suspended licenses than valid licenses.

Gwen Moore

It will never do to plead sin as an excuse for sin, or to attempt to justify sinful acts by pleading that we have an evil heart. This instead of being a valid apology, is the very ground of our condemnation.

Archibald Alexander

There have been some valid points raised and it's something we are now looking into.

Steve Snyder

My antennae are definitely up since this whole thing unfolded. I'm reading papers a lot more closely than I had in the past, just to sort of satisfy myself that any individual piece of research is valid. But we're still in sort of the same situation that the journal editors are, which is that if someone wants to completely fabricate data, it's hard to figure that out.

Rob Stein

It really is incumbent upon them to encourage him to resign and of course, the next question would then be impeachment. And we personally believe impeachment is a valid option.

David Zanotti

How do you get there from here? They haven't persuaded me that this is valid, ... You have to have a disruption of civil authority before the military can perform activities such as surveillance.

Eugene Fidell

The case for intelligent design as a religious proposition is overwhelming, Clearly, no valid secular purpose can be derived from those facts.

Eric Rothschild

Given that employers have no legal obligation to thoroughly investigate whether documents presented to them by new employees are valid or not, they often have a de facto defense.

Ernestine Fobbs

It seemed to me from the get-go, he wanted to find that this was not a taxonomically valid subspecies.

Eric Hallerman

China is expected to eliminate some key restrictions by January of 2005. Earlier, companies with a market cap of under $2 billion could operate in China only with a local joint-venture partner. This will no longer be valid.

Erik Autor

We're asking that he be removed from negotiations. He's not a valid negotiator.

Eduardo Torres
