I don't know Dr. Rosenberg. I have never met her I have never spoken or corresponded with this woman. And to my knowledge she is ignorant of my work and background except in the very broadest of terms.

A theoretical grounding in agronomy must therefore include knowledge of biological laws.

A number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge.

You go to college not only for the latest knowledge but also to meet people from different backgrounds. That's the genius of the American higher-education system compared with the Europeans'. We don't simply skim the elite.

It takes a couple of years just to get the background and knowledge that you need before you can go into detailed training for your mission.

But by providing the background picture - the universal situational awareness that we desire - by showing the anomalies the Space-Based Radar will change the nature of how we do our analysis and our intelligence.

I have had national security background 10 years on the Intelligence Committee the last two years as chair.

It is only when you watch the dense mass of thousands of ants crowded together around the Hill blackening the ground that you begin to see the whole beast and now you observe it thinking planning calculating. It is an intelligence a kind of live computer with crawling bits for its wits.

Too many problem-solving sessions become battlegrounds where decisions are made based on power rather than intelligence.

Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It's part ballet. It's part battleground part playground. We clarify amplify and glorify the game with our footage the narration and that music and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage.

A human being has so many skins inside covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things but we don't know ourselves! Why thirty or forty skins or hides as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

I mean it's fine when you're a kid and someone runs into the playground and goes 'I've got this great game of pretend ' and you play... As an actor getting to play getting to use your imagination and be childish - it is weird but it's wonderful.

They seem much rarer now those auteur films that come out of a director's imagination and are elliptical and hermetic. All those films that got me into independent cinema when I was watching it seem thin on the ground.

However my parents - both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing quirk that would never pay a mortgage or secure a pension.

I think as a rifle platoon and company commander your view is about 1 000 meters in front of you and you hope you can cover that ground and not have to back up and give it up again.

Pope John Paul II brought hope to all corners of the world to people of all faiths and backgrounds with his powerful belief in the human spirit.

But groundless hope like unconditional love is the only kind worth having.

Like any good tree that one would hope to grow we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.

Land is the secure ground of home the sea is like life the outside the unknown.

I wish I got a little bit more time at home. I am away a lot and being around my loved ones and friends is good for me. It grounds me. It's something I need to make more time for. I think I need a little more balance.

I hit the ground running without a lot of training so I had to do whatever I could do to survive as a professional and if that meant being that character 24/7 and acting out I was going to do that. I lived those characters I brought them home with me.

It's a miracle was the last track recorded for the album we based it on the rhythm from the middle of 'Late Home Tonight where there's Graham Broad playing lots and lots of drums with me shouting in the background pretending to be a mad Arab leader.

In the true sense one's native land with its background of tradition early impressions reminiscences and other things dear to one is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.
