Rocco J. Calo

It's such a phenomenal hole in the national debate that you can have arguments with nonexistent people. All politicians try to get away with this to a certain extent. What's striking here is how much this administration rests on a foundation of this kind of stuff.

Striking out has not been that much of a problem. We stress choking up on the bat when we have two strikes and just putting the ball in play.

Dr. Jonathan Greenberg

Her rarely striking out was not genetics. I think it was the psychology I tried to implant in her when she was young. We would go to the batting cage and I would put it on 110 pitches.

Bill Bass

It was a new pitcher and I was just thinking sit back and wait for your pitch. Especially with a lefty, I wanted to keep my shoulder in. I didn't want to pull that out and just put the ball in play. That's my main thing when I'm up to bat just put the ball in play and make something happen. Nothing's going to happen striking out. I ended up getting hit.

Tom Kohl

I'll take that. We had guys get on base rather than just striking out. We just couldn't get the timely hitting we have been getting.

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.

John Manning

Our strong preference is to have our striking workers return to work.

Bud Grebey

It's very clear from the witnesses that Brian wasn't involved in striking any blows against Norris Gaynor. And, obviously, the concern is for somebody to be charged with an open count of homicide and not to have acted in any way to have caused that homicide, obviously, is troubling to me.

Jeremy Kroll

No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going. Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged.

Oliver Cromwell

Each time we appeared on the verge of striking back, we would have a crucial turnover to hurt us.

Thaworn Wiratchant

It was striking to talk to someone who was so true and bold. The hurricane ripped away everything he had.

Travis Bockenstedt

At mathematics he's at the very top end. For a guy so young I can't remember anybody so decorated at his age.

It's his exceptional talent that's so striking.

Peter Sarnak

Greg Hill

As far as their reasons for hunger striking, it seems to be a myriad of different reasons that they all have, the largest one seems to be like they want to protest their continued (detention).

Mark Twain

Carl Hubbell

Adrian Angold

It's a striking contrast with the negative portrayal of Judas as the quintessential traitor. The figure of Judas is often portrayed as the evil Jewish person who turned Jesus in to be killed.

Marvin Meyer

With our defense, we made it clear to both of them that they?re not there to strike people out. Their job is to not give up walks and don?t put the ball down the middle of the plate. They can strike people out, but we don?t want to put that kind of pressure on them. Right now, we have enough to win the game without them striking people out.

Carolyn Eckhardt

Mary Pierce right now is striking the ball as well as any girls has ever struck the ball. Whether or not that will take her through, nobody knows.

Another is that recursive splicing might help stimulate trans.

Hajime Yamada

The biggest difference in his game now is he can overpower some courses, and mentally he's gotten a lot stronger. His ball-striking is much better now. Tee to green, he's really strong. If he gets his putter going, he'll be all right.

Kevin Hayashi

Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true.

Honore De Balzac

We've scored under 200 in all of our matches. Last year we averaged 220. We're striking the ball really well. We need some work on our short game. We kind of lost our focus around the greens lately, but I think that will come back.

They all contributed and we have put ourselves within striking distance heading into the final round, which was our goal.

Rachael Short

Climate change is one particularly striking example of an environmental factor that can badly damage wealth.

Gregg Steinberg

What's striking is the near unanimity of many of the opinions and attitudes expressed by these businesses.

Steve Buster

Yes, that's it. A striking floral arrangement, each one different, but yet somehow in harmony with the ones in the other houses.

We're still lacking that big hit to knock in those big runs. We're not striking out every time, but we are still looking for the gaps and I think we might just be trying too hard for it.

He can really pitch. He has worked hard and is a very smart guy. I [have] got to say that today he is right there striking out people, stopping rallies, fielding his position, getting base hits and challenging hitters.

Felipe Alou

What's striking about this case is these guys thought about and sought every insider trading scheme they could get their hands on.

David Markowitz

What is striking is that it didn't take much to reduce the risk ... If you don't exercise, you should start. It's never too late.

Dr. Eric Larson

Here we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves.

John Osborne

The most striking aspect of the data this year was the intensity or volume of the decreases. This is the largest single-year decrease in the raw numbers of deaths that we've seen since the 1940s.

Arialdi Minino

What strikes me as the most burdensome of this requirement of mandatory pregnancy is that it imposes on a woman that she use her body in a certain way. We're all required to pay taxes, etc., but we're not required to do with our body things we don't want to do. ... It is a striking anomaly in the law.

Robin West

Wait until it warms up. He's a feel pitcher. He feels the ball. When he feels the humidity on the ball, look out, because now he can put it where he wants it. His arm is in real good shape, but the feel of his pitches isn't there yet. When it gets there, he's going to be striking out 10 or 12 guys.

Guy Conti

Knavery seems to be so much a the striking feature of its inhabitants that it may not in the end be an evil that they will become aliens to this kingdom.

Robert Bindschadler

We're starting to be within striking distance, we're starting to knock on the door. Guys are learning the way we have to play. They're learning it's not anything special. It's just hard work and playing our system well.

Sean Hill

Reinforces the view that we should pay even greater attention to preparing for the inevitability of future intense hurricanes striking vulnerable locations around the world. In the context of ever-growing coastal development, the costs of hurricanes are going to continue to escalate.

Roger Pielke

Getting four hits and striking out 11 times is the reason we lost.

Tim Brown

The striking thing about this is that hair-loss syndrome is just not consistent from one valley to the next.

Regionally there seems to be more affected animals in Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties with low fawn-to-adult deer ratios in the spring.

Doug Cottam

I would urge anyone who has information about this individual or about the robbery to contact us and prevent this individual from striking again.

Marshall Lichtman

They just came out and beat us in all aspects of the game. Their offense was striking and going on all cylinders tonight.

Karen Curran

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

George Orwell

Our hitting has been pretty impressive. We have a lot of guys at or above .300. We look for consistency through the order and the whole team has done a great job of not striking out and putting the ball in play. Everyone is playing great defense too, which is a big part of it.

Ryne Malone

Their new name may be Red Bull New York, but striking New Jersey from their name seems to be a different kind of bull altogether. This is a team that sells its products in New Jersey, draws its fan base from New Jersey and receives funding from New Jersey.

Brendan Gilfillan

The results were really quite striking. These drugs were quite effective in reducing risks of having a heart attack as the first symptom of coronary artery disease.

Mark Hlatky

The figures are solid, but what is striking is the rise in investment management.

Roman Cizdyn

I was very proud of Kelsey Yost. What a great accomplishment to end your last senior home match with medalist honors. Overall, I thought we played well. Our scores didn't reflect how we were striking the ball. We had a few mental breakdowns around the greens, which turned out to be quite costly.

Lisa Stemler

So when there were reports of an 80-foot (24-meter) wave striking an oil platform, they called it a rogue wave. We think it wasn't a rogue wave.

Our strategy is to have more and more people striking on the street each day to increase the pressure on the employers.

A late-model Chevrolet truck discharged a firearm into the truck, striking (Morales), forcing (Morales) to lose control of his vehicle and wreck.

Brian Evans

Before Giuliani, New York politics had been mostly about striking caring poses in the course of paying off interest groups, ... Liberal mayors like Lindsay and Dinkins spoke endlessly of what the city owed the poor, but they delivered rising rates of crime and welfare. Theirs was the sovereignty of words over deeds.

Fred Siegel

If he's the best in this conference, that's saying something. He sure is striking the ball well. He doesn't ever seem to be getting himself in any trouble. As long as you are long and straight, you should be in the running. Now, if he can get hot with his putter -- I haven't seen that from him yet.

Harrison Hearne

That's impressive. To win a game without striking out kids, that means you're fielding the ball. They hit the ball decent on us.

Mike Hansen

I played extremely well. Actually, it could have been better. I missed a couple of short putts. Overall, it was one of my best ball-striking days in a long time. I was hitting the sticks all day.

Liselotte Neumann

What is equally striking to me is this ... there isn't a sense of a community solving problems together, rather there's punishment for aberrant individuals.

Alfie Kohn

Another problem afflicting higher education is the brain drain of faculty to the more advanced parts of the world. The striking feature of this challenge is that because of poor conditions of service, faculty is not able to attract young lecturers.

John Agyekum Kufuor

When you compare the brains of treated and untreated mice, the difference is striking. Silencing BACE1 reduced the number and size of plaques by two thirds within a month, which is incredibly fast.

Oded Singer

Maybe it's just symbolic, but to me this is the day for labor and this is the day I'm proud to be a striking member.

Ted Ludwig

Striking that balance is the most important part of the job.

His ball striking was pure. It was beautiful to watch him play.

Steve Klein

That does diminish the possibility of striking, but of course it's not eliminated because we have other issues that need to be addressed.

Darrell Jefferson

There's a certain commitment females make in regard to their family that their male counterparts don't make as much. Some find striking balance in a leadership position tough to do.

Nancy Adams

Obviously my ball striking is good when it's on, and that's why I've had some really good results recently. I've been gradually improving my short game over the last couple of years. I'm just happy to be up and playing well early on in the season because I had my best year last year, and when you have a bit of winter break, you never know how it's going to start.

Henrik Stenson

I don't think that the resources of the western European countries are going to implode because of this. But you see disaster striking, economically and otherwise, when you get into countries such as in Africa and other developing nations in which they don't have the resources to handle this.

Anthony S. Fauci

If you look at a time series, '98 just stands out so dramatically. Then you look at the past several years and you see it creeping back up. It's quite striking.

Sen. Susan Garrett

This is a step forward in learning about the long-term effects of a low-calorie diet on aging, but it's not the whole story. What is striking is the effect on some markers related to longevity.

Evan Hadley

I have sympathy for why they're striking; some kind of action is justified. There are no members of staff apart from teachers here, so we're just teaching the senior years.

Eva Young

Callum may be the most improved player from last year to this year, ... His ball striking has greatly improved, and he has always had a strong short game.

Ernest Ross

People listen to the music and sense what it is about. Sometimes they know exactly what the songs are about, sometimes they interpret their own meaning to the music, and that's great when this happens because it shows it's striking a chord.

Alex Langwenya

We will move all of our striking teams to residential areas. They will no longer conduct offensive operations to seek and destroy GAM.

Endriartono Sutarto

That's two-and-a-half times what it was just 20 years ago. Even more striking than that ... if you look at the figures for black children, 22 percent of black children are overweight. ... This really is a major concern.

Edward Sondik

The biggest concerns many of us have is, 'What time's my tee time or where are we going out to eat tonight, dear?. Here, 45 minutes away, people are wondering if they have a meal. The contrast is quite striking.

Ed Marchetti
