Cities are ripe for redesign, and many are already well on that path. Cloud-based networks that provide easy and inexpensive access to and tracking of services like transportation, energy, waste management, bill pay, citizen engagement and more are testing and enriching their services.

Testing leads to failure, and failure leads to understanding

It's not that I don't value my life. It's just that I love taking chances, testing myself, stepping over the line.

'Brave New World' dealt with a kind of proto-genetic engineering of the unborn, through really, as many dystopias do, it dealt with totalitarianism. The 1997 film 'Gattaca' updated 'Brave New World,' bringing us to a future where genetic testing determined your job, your wealth, your status in life.

The same products, services or technologies can fail or succeed depending on the business model you choose. Exploring the possibilities is critical to finding a successful business model.

Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.

The cost of research, development and testing of a new drug is vastly greater than the cost of each dose produced. How should we pay for new medicines? Innovators should be rewarded according to the impact of their medicine, and people should contribute to these rewards according to their ability to pay.

In just six weeks from the time the design was started, we had the motor on the block testing its power.

It is really important that focusing on things such as spelling, punctuation, grammar and handwriting doesn't inhibit the creative flow. When I was at school there was a huge focus on copying and testing and it put me off words and stories for years.

Common Core reminds us what testing can do right. Modeled on standards of the world's education superpowers, questions demand critical thinking and creativity. Students are asked to write at length, show their work, and explain their reasoning.

Testing, we will never do enough of it.

One of the cool things we're seeing at TaskRabbit is local tech and gaming startups hiring TaskRabbits to test their products and deliver immediate user feedback. As the founder of a tech startup, I can tell you that this type of focus group testing is paramount - and usually really pricey and difficult to coordinate.

We were tremendously encouraged by the testing of Analyze That. Audiences loved it. They were telling us that they liked it as much as the original. We recorded the laughs in the theater.

Scientists and philosophers tend to treat knowledge, imagination and love as if they were all very separate parts of human nature. But when it comes to children, all three are deeply entwined. Children learn the truth by imagining all the ways the world could be, and testing those possibilities.

Holding auditions in front of an audience is testing.

We are proud of our record as an auto industry environmental leader and firmly believe our vehicles comply with the testing procedures as originally written.

When you test a newborn, you're only testing for the mother's antibodies. This makes a mockery of the whole notion of voluntary testing for pregnant women.

Unless a legislature passes a bill testing the opinion, there is no way to know if the court's opinion has changed. They can't signal a change of attitude without a vehicle for it.

Usually Canadian data doesn't mean that much but we were so close to testing the previous (dollar/Canada) lows that when we got better productivity numbers it gave the market a push.

We're doing in 90 days what would normally take up to a year or longer. We know there are going to be failures, but we aim to fail early in the process and then fix the problems. We're sticking very clearly to industry standards and testing everything from day one.

We're seeing an across the board movement today but the index may have to come down a bit before testing higher levels,

When you're upgrading a technology that involves an organization's payroll, there's a great deal of parallel testing that needs to be done. The dirty little secret in the EIM market is that on-premise solutions have been and continue to be very expensive to purchase and implement. That's because of the complexities that surround sales compensation plans. These tools are being asked to operate in extremely complex environments.

We want them to completely change the way they handle organs. We want stricter testing and we want families and patients to be notified if there is a problem with a donor, so that the family could make the decision, not the doctor.

We were hoping to get a better handle on it. We knew the plume was fairly widespread. I think the testing changed our perspective from looking for one source to looking for multiple sources.

It might be five, 10, 15 years down the road before we know whether they'll continue to test negative.

We hope to learn enough to help us all year. We will be testing everything from springs, shocks, and a variety of different set-ups.

We have revised our testing policy from earlier in the off-season based on the commitment from Honda to serve as the league's single-engine supplier. This testing format brings more efficiency to the teams, Honda and the league as we ready ourselves for the 2006 season, the league's first featuring its compacted schedule.

The eyewitness had recanted, and the timeline was messed up. It didn't seem like Clarence could have been there. DNA testing could bring closure.

We are testing things all the time on the site.

We are testing combinations of oils as well, to learn how they affect taste, cooking procedures, holding times and shelf life. As usual, consumers will tell us if they like the changes we intend to make.

We are taking samples to our testing facilities. Subsequent tests have indicated it's not a nerve agent.

We do not think the circumstances are going to be insurmountable.

We've never had an event of this magnitude happen before. We're taking a look at development and testing procedures around virus signatures to prevent it from happening again.

We've never been big fans of beta testing at 1010 WINS. However, when the Associated Press invited us to participate in their new Online Video Network, we jumped at the chance to feature topical news video on our site. The integration was a snap and their production is top-notch. We're looking forward to prominently placing APOVN content on the new 1010wins.com.

In addition, numerous state agencies are providing assistance to us, as necessary.

Many companies tout their windows as 'hurricane resistant,' but not all windows meet prescribed standards. That's why it's important for consumers to make sure that the windows have been tested. It's one thing to claim that your windows withstand hurricane-force winds, it's another to have testing behind that claim.

Sen. Rita Days and I were committed to maintaining a safe and friendly emissions program even though the effort was to decentralize it. Decentralize did not mean the program was going away; it?s a federal mandate. Our six amendments protect the public and make the often inconvenient process of emissions testing as painless as possible.

At this time, this is just a pilot project, but results of the initial round of testing are encouraging.

No Child Left Behind's fourth-grade gains aren't learning gains, they're testing gains. That's why they don't last. The law is a distraction from things that really count.

One of the biggest barriers research and academic institutions face is the ability to get discoveries made in the lab into clinical testing. The new Exploratory IND guidance emphasizes the flexibility available to researchers when conducting early clinical testing of these cutting-edge treatments. As we enter the era of personalized medicine, these exploratory approaches enable scientists to take full advantage of new technologies to target the development of more individualized therapies.

One of the features of our annual meeting is that all the members gather in person to have face-to-face discussions about such subjects as breeding policies, canine health issues and testing programs. For example, we have discussed the prospects of including the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association's 'utility test' to go along with the 'natural ability' test we already now use in qualifying our dogs for our club's breeding program. Likewise, there have been some useful debates on how to sanction any breeders who have dogs with serious genetic defects.

I was testing the Nav One recently in Kentucky, and was finding restaurants in the middle of nowhere.

I would have liked to run a lot more laps today to continue with the good set-up direction we found yesterday, so it's disappointing that the wind was so strong.

I am confident that whatever testing is performed on these items, it will substantiate that Mr. Westfall has done nothing wrong and is in no way responsible for Ms. Jones' disappearance. Mr. Westfall and his family ... continue to pray for Ms. Jones' safe return.

I am confident. I think the Rangers are playing a speed game. They can skate with any team in the league.
