Achieve Quotes
Do we want someone has a national agenda of what she will achieve for the people of Arkansas and Illinois in the U.S. Senate, or do we want someone who is one of us, a native New Yorker who understands this state, who has fought for this state, who has represented this state in Washington, who shares our philosophy?

And third, after the family's press conference resulted in a positive ID of Emmanuel as 49-year-old Utah native Brian David Mitchell, Sgt.

Chinese Quotes
English is likely to remain one of the world's most important languages, but the share of the world's population that speaks English as a native language is falling. As of 1995, English was the second most-common tongue in the world, trailing only Chinese. By 2050, Chinese will continue its predominance.

Classical Quotes
Even as I pursued a doctorate in the history of ideas in my native Denmark, I realized I had neither the encyclopedic training nor the passion for cool logic - not to mention the nerve - to follow in the footsteps of classical liberal philosophers and economists such as Robert Nozick, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman.
-
Aside Quotes
Every year, I travel extensively in the autumn and the spring. I set most of the winter and summer aside for my family and my own tribal relatives. But during that traveling time, I often find myself visiting other native communities around the continent - perhaps a dozen or more each year.

Children Quotes
The treatment received by Native American students in Winner and throughout the region is completely different than that of their white counterparts. These experiences demonstrate the reasons why Native American children so often fail to reach graduation -- hostility of peers, discrimination of school officials and knee-jerk police involvement.

Art Quotes
The whole point is to take from our native culture and from contemporary culture without using one art form to mimic the other, so that our native identity remains the native identity, the contemporary identity remains the contemporary identity, and the mixing of these two musical identities creates a third musical identity.

Acquire Quotes
ADIOS relies on a statistical method for pattern extraction and on structured generalization two processes that have been implicated in language acquisition. Our experiments show that it can acquire intricate structures from raw data, including transcripts of parents' speech directed at two- or three-year-olds. This may eventually help researchers understand how children, who learn language in a similar item-by-item fashion and with very little supervision, eventually master the full complexities of their native tongue.

Designer Quotes
As I've said a million times, I'm obsessed with Liya Kebede's LemLem line. The pieces, made by artisans in her native Ethiopia, are perfect for summer! I'm also a big fan of jewelry line Lulu Frost. Designer Lisa Salzer and I have been friends forever, and I love how she incorporates vintage pieces into her jewelry.

Accustomed Quotes
A lot of these guys are used to playing with more time and space. They played the game a lot slower in their native country. They are not accustomed to the high pressure, the voracity of the Americans. When players accustomed to more time on the ball don't get it, they sometimes feel the referee isn't protecting them the way he should. He gets frustrated because he isn't performing the way he is accustomed to, and he lashes out, often at the referee.

Born Quotes

Putting it another way, there was a net increase of 1.7 million total number of adults working in the United States from 2000 to 2004. All of that increase went to foreign born workers.

Classroom Quotes
It's all very well being a native speaker. But explaining complex grammar without training would be a nightmare. A course gives you practice. There's an obligation from schools to have professionally trained teachers, and your students expect to leave the classroom understanding what you've taught them.
-
Benefit Quotes
It's pure nonsense that a state legislator would think there's nothing he can do to benefit Native Americans. The high infant mortality rate on reservations is due to devastating poverty. Yet the state has not passed any laws in the last several years that would boost any of the health or education programs within the reservation community. As for tribal sovereignty, the only time the state wants to recognize it is when it benefits the state, as in this instance when it allows Senator Napoli to opt out of an intelligent response.

Activities Quotes
The Joint Finance Appropriation Committee for the state of Idaho considered a governor's request for $107,000 which would have funded two positions within a newly created office for Native Americans in the State Department of Education. What those people would do is coordinate educational activities for Indian students in Idaho, and hopefully assist in addressing some of the issues in regards to our students.

Across Quotes
Iowa has not been immune to the quail decline that has occurred across the entire bobwhite range, but we are aggressively working to turn that slide around. Mid-contract management of CRP lands, enrollment of CP-33 acres, conversion of brome grasses to native plants and additional focus on brushy edge cover will all help.
