Basically, the concern of NAPFA is the extraordinary expense often associated with these insurance policies, ... The problem with a lot of these high cost products is that they attempt to push hot buttons with consumers. They ask, 'do you want to pay taxes?' Obviously, you don't. But the NAPFA approach is to look at your overall financial picture and do it on an unbiased, non-partial basis.

because of the overwhelming evidence of official misconduct, deliberate fraud, and an attempt to suppress voter turnout by unlawful means.

China should make a larger attempt to solve the lingering problems of farmers whose land was inadequately or randomly compensated in the past, and I am sure it will.

Fox bought the rights to the book way back when, and there was this attempt by Fox to make a movie out of 'The Hot Zone,' and it tended tragically in a Hollywood disaster involving Robert Redford and Jodie Foster and Ridley Scott. But the rights have been sitting at Fox ever since.

Freshman year we traveled to Jamaica and had our heads turned around by that reggae rhythm. It was just after Bob Marley returned to his home country after the assassination attempt and self-exile; the country was exploding with reggae.

If the FBI can persuade a court that there is probable cause that there are stolen records in that collection, then they should go to court. They cannot bully or attempt to intimidate the family or the university into surrendering private records.

If teachers attempt to control boys by subtle means, such as raised eyebrows, and the boys ignore these cues, it may be that they simply are not able to read them and decode them accurately,

I always look at a group of people who want to attempt an enterprise greater than their means. They begin on this enterprise and they fail.

He will probably be very flexible now. He'll be very adroit in his attempt to win popularity.

We expect to oppose any attempt to splinter, to disrupt the operation of the MDL,

Whatever happens doesn't change the fact that we want him with us. Many guys, probably the majority (of first-round draft picks), go to being restricted free agents . . . But we're sure going to make the attempt to see if we can get something done.

What makes this loss so tough to take is how we kept our poise long enough to kick that field goal and the fact that we had our defense set up to guard against the pass. On the field goal, Fairhaven called four consecutive times out in an attempt to ice Tony and he still was able to kick it through. And on that final pass, we had three guys around the receiver. Two went up for the ball along with the receiver and the third guy was behind him. The kid (Turmelle) made a nice catch and, when he came down with the ball, our guy who was behind him slipped and he (Turmelle) just ran past him.

We take a variety of points into consideration when convening as a group to pick films to attempt to get for screening purposes. One thing we think about before much else is whether or not a local theater, be it Keene Cinemas or The Colonial, will be screening a film and if so, when. The Putnam is technically a second-run theater.

It appears to be a deliberate attempt to make people think it was a real device. It was made to look like the real thing.

It certainly sounds as if he's getting pulled into Chuck Schumer's demands for unprecedented specificity in case law.

I think the previous referendums were for everything ? an attempt to get it all done in one shot. I understand the thinking behind that, although I don't wholeheartedly agree with it. We need to take baby steps before we start running.

I think it was an attempt to control the election.

I think it's their attempt to stay out of Chapter 11.

I think some of what you are hearing now is an attempt on his part to re-establish his bona fides with that group,

I think that it is wrong. I haven't said this one time in 21 years of prosecuting, but I guarantee the appellate court is going to reverse it. It's the worst opinion I've seen - it has no basis in law. All he's doing is setting up an artificial roadblock in our attempt to bring her to justice. He is a judge, so I am not going to say anything disrespectful.

It is Microsoft's first attempt at the high-end UNIX server market with an NT product.

It is just an attempt to see if they can break the deadlock.

It is an attempt to show nature in all of its beauty.

It is an attempt to put the blame on regional and local law enforcers and not on the leaders of federal ministries, who in my view bear responsibility for what happened. They didn't take preventive measures, they didn't check how their orders were being carried out.

just another seedy attempt by the liberal media to embarrass me.

Just for a pedestrian it's very hard to get across this street. For someone in a wheelchair I wouldn't attempt it.

I see genres as generating sets of rules or conventions that are only interesting when they are subverted or used to disguise the author's intent. My own way of doing this is to attempt a sort of whimsical alchemy, whereby seemingly incompatible genres are brought into unlikely partnerships.

I see it as an ongoing attempt by terrorists to undermine democratic Indonesia.

I respect music way too much to even attempt it. I'm completely tone-deaf. It's really embarrassing. I didn't even realize it until recently.
