One of the witnesses asked (Fountain) how Kendrick received the injury. He said (the child) fell down.

One question I get asked a lot, ... is why we think this is such a problem. It's kind of like speeding. If law enforcement stopped writing tickets, it would get way out of hand. That's been our experience. If we don't keep working on the enforcement, it starts to multiply on its own out there. If you have a rule, you have to keep enforcing it. You can't look the other way.

One parent asked me if we ever needed someone to pick up sticks. I said sure and they sent their son to help out around the farm. Then the apples were ready.

One of the things that Sara Jane was asked in court yesterday by Deputy District Attorney Eleanor Hunter was, 'Are you pleading guilty because you are in truth and in fact guilty and do you stipulate that there is a factual basis for the guilty plea?' to which she replied, 'Yes.' In light of what she said after walking out of court, we can only assume she was lying to the judge, or lying to the press to save face. The judge is obviously concerned.

One of the things that Dostoevsky talks about is that no character is too high to fall and no character is too low to be redeemed. 'Crime and Punishment' began with a person going out and consciously becoming a cold-blooded murderer, and it took 800 pages and an epilogue before the person finally asked for forgiveness.

One of the Sunday newspapers asked me to make my favorite dish, and they photographed me holding it in the kitchen. It was roasted salmon with roasted vegetables. That's not cooking; that's putting things in a pan. It looked quite nice, but I'm not saying it was good.

One of our reporters asked me if we would be scared of the environment. We know it's going to be loud, but it's easier to get excited for a game like that rather than 500 people. We have good crowds here and (opposing) teams play well and are emotional.

One of our goals was serving. All the girls did a very good job. I don't think we started missing serves until that last game. They all did real well. All I asked for them was to challenge each pass and I think they did a good job, each one of them.

One memory that just really stood out in my mind was our first home basketball game. She had some time before the game started. Each one of the girls came up to her, and she asked them how they wanted their hair done. They sat in front of her and she did their hair in blue and yellow ribbons.

One, I asked them to give me 110 percent. I told them if you walk away from this game giving that, I'm going to say thank you, shake your hand, give you a big hug and tell you how much I appreciate it. The second thing I told them was to get me home.

One night, I lay awake for hours, just terrified. When the dawn finally came up - the comfortable blue sky, the familiar world returning - I could think of no other way to express my relief than through poetry. I made a decision there and then that it was what I wanted to do. Every time I pulled a wishbone, it was what I asked for.

Obviously, we got off to a slow start. I asked a couple of my players if they wanted to go home.

Of all the questions I get asked as an undocumented immigrant in the United States, there are two - asked in various permutations via email, social media or in person - that chill me to the bone: 'Why don't you just make yourself legal?' And: 'Why don't you get in the back of the line?'

Of course, it's a matter of courtesy. Like many of my colleagues, I'm interested in what he has to say, and we won't know that until he's asked and answers the questions.

None of us do this for the money. But, I've asked for this to be placed on the agenda because I think it's timely and it needs to be approved within the confines of the budget process.

No one really ever asked why he didn't apply for it. This is an assumption. It's not an easy thing to get. It takes a year, maybe two years through the application process. ... Now, looking back at it, he knew about his situation in the other state.

No one had ever asked young people about the issues they face growing up. I don't think this changes the fact that adults need to be in charge; I'm not asking children to run the families of America. . . . But their insight about their lives is actually fairly interesting input into our lives.

No, not at all. I think if second base didn't go as well as it has, I might have missed it, but I always wanted to catch and once I got here, after four years they asked me to move. You do what you have to do in order to stay in the big leagues.

no one ever asked me to lie and I was never promised a job for my silence.

My dad always talked to me and asked me how I felt about him taking in kids off the street. I was the youngest in our family and the only one left at home at that time, so I enjoyed the company. Plus, Glen is such a great friend. We always enjoyed being together.

My date was really good-natured about it and happily answered all of my dad's questions. I couldn't believe my dad would do that to me! Apparently it didn't scare my date too badly because he asked me out again!

My donor base and host base on both coasts was contacted by elected officials and asked to stop giving. The original promise to me from Schumer was that I would have no financial concerns. It went from that to Senator Schumer actually working against my ability to raise money.

My dad was a pretty poor guy, he didn't have a whole lot of money. He always wanted something for my brother and myself, some kind of business. He'd asked the owners of this course to call him if it ever came up for sale, and one day, they called. I had a scholarship offer to Ohio State and my dad said, 'Son, what do you want to do, cut grass or go to school?' I said, what do you want me to do, Dad? He said, 'Well, I can't afford any help.' I said, 'No problem, Dad, I'll help you cut grass.' Looking back, I think I made the right decision.

More than any defense we've had, this fits Ray's ability. That's scary. The 3-4 maybe didn't suit Ray as well as the other defenses, but he embraced it anyway. ... He's been asked to adjust because of what's gone on around him. That's asking a lot.

More -- much more -- will be asked of you in the weeks and months ahead. This is especially true of those who are in the field.

O Baba, write such an account, that when it is asked for, it will bring the Mark of Truth.

Never asked anything of my players any different than I'm doing right now. Think about that. So the bottom line is, I want us to rebound, defend, share the ball, play hard. That's all.

New Hampshire is unique in that all the presidential candidates come here because of your first-in-the-nation status. If we can get New Hampshire on board, all the candidates will be asked about this concept repeatedly. If we leave Washington to its own devices, nothing will happen.

Never is a bad word, to say you'll never be a head coach again. But am I actively looking? No. Did Bob call me and ask me if I was interested in being the head coach? No. He called and asked if I was interested in helping him by being a consultant.

Obviously the message, or the brand, or what you see it won't be consistent. But it isn't a big issue. If it was a big issue Wayne would be asked to do what everybody else is doing.

Obviously, Juan came into camp in great shape. He was hitting around .350 or .360 with Memphis. And he's played defense well. He did everything we asked him to do.

Right now he has a contract. He intends to honor it, and I'm sure between now and April 1, I'll have discussions with the appropriate people. Larry's been there the last two years and done everything asked of him. He's made the Pro Bowl. He's not been a bad player. If they want to sign someone else instead of Larry and release him, he'll end up playing somewhere else. Players have only so many options.

Rick did a good job in Triple-A, and he came up here and has done everything we've asked him to do. We'll give him a shot at it.

Rick asked me if I wanted anything on third down? ... And I said I didn't know what they were doing on third down. That's bad to say, but that's the truth. I've had a chance to look at the opponent this week. It's been kind of tiring but refreshing at the same time. I don't call the defenses, but at least I know what the heck is going on.

Richard asked me how things were going and I told him that it could be better. He said, 'Hey, if you ever decide to drive a stock car, call me. So, I did.

Porter's a great pitcher. He's a guy that we can rely on to face a hitter at any time. Coach Mac went out there and asked him 'What do you think I'm going to do?' and he goes 'I want the damn ball.' Coach gave it to him and he did the job.

One thing I'm now asked is 'Oh, you're changing, you're now doing studio movies',

One thing about the NBA is that it's definitely not a faster pace. Duke has prepared me well. There's nothing here that I haven't seen already. It's not faster. If anything, it's a little slower with all the one-on-one play. I feel like I'm fitting in the grove well here. Again, I couldn't have asked for a better situation.

Nobody's asked about ties, quite frankly. We've said all along if they're in that top 10, whether it's in a position or in a tie for one of those top 10 positions, they earn a spot in the Chase.

Nobody politicked for or against anyone ... You're not going to find a single person that said I asked them to contribute and I don't think you're going to find anybody else asked them to.

Nikki is a kid who has battled injuries her whole playing career here. She has never been like, 'I've got to take time off. I've got to be a starter.' Exactly. She just goes in and does what is asked of her, plays and has fun, and I think her best playing days are ahead.

Nobody came up with a plan for having this many refugees in our county. We are being asked to meet needs that nobody envisioned even a few days ago.

Nearly 96 hours after the Observer had reported it, I called Times deputy foreign editor Alison Smale and asked why not.

On these things we don't really know until it is asked of us.

On one side was contaminated and on our side (it) is absolutely. Oil, gas, anything -- I watched them walk out the back door and pour it out.

On Saturday, he wanted to go back into the game, because that's just how he is. But we had to be smart about it. The (injury) tightened up on him as the game went on. We asked him as we went into the second half if it was tightening up, and it was. Had it not been, there might have been a temptation to put him back into the game. As it is now, it's good we didn't, because we could have lost him for an extended period of time.

On my side of things, I was sent a script and asked if I wanted to do it. So, whatever decision making went into it prior to that, I'm not privy to.

One of the most common questions I am asked is whether insurance or Medicare will pay for weight loss surgery. The new Medicare coverage decision is a very positive development for those affected by obesity, since private insurers often look to government policy when establishing their own coverage guidelines.

One of the questions we asked them is how much effort they were making to look like females they see in the media,

One of the questions I get asked a lot is, 'What do you do to stay in shape?' My glib answer is, 'I play.' But I mean it. Sure, I go to the gym, but I don't spend my life there. Most of my activity is outdoors, whether it's basketball or mountain biking or rock climbing.
