“Our design responds to the institute's new program, which was tailored to represent their mission more clearly, ... We tried to be responsive to the environment, to the heritage of Dana Point and Dana Point harbor and the precedence of coastal marine labs in California and throughout the West. We responded through scale, sustainable design, energy conservation and public access to the facility. In the end, (we created) a very memorable experience that is about the ocean.”

“Knowing the structure of Dicer sets the stage for understanding how Dicer enzymes are involved in other phases of the RNA interference pathway. In human cells, the evidence points to Dicer being part of a larger molecular complex that directs the RNA interference process. The core structure of Dicer has been highly conserved by evolution and could serve as a guide in redesigning the RNA molecules that direct specific gene-silencing pathways.”

Ironically, [living in] communities of the like - minded is one of the greatest dangers of today ́s globalized world. And it ́s happening everywhere, among liberals and conservatives, agnostics and believers, the rich and the poor, East and West alike. We tend to form clusters based on similarity, and then we produce stereotypes about other clusters of people. In my opinion, one way of transcending these cultural ghettos is through the art of storytelling

“Conservatives want someone with a clear, written record. The Roberts hearing has been superb as a technical, tactical matter, but it's left some people in despair and just clamoring for someone with a written record. The left keeps asking, 'What does the right know that we don't know?' Well the truth of the matter is, we don't know anything. We're all being asked to take a leap of faith.”

“We teach our investor clients the fundamentals of successful foreclosure property investing, and show them how to create ethical win-win scenarios that benefit both the troubled homeowner and the investor. Our method enables the homeowner to conserve some equity for a new start, while assuring the investor of a reasonable profit on resale of the home. That's a much better solution than seeing the owner lose everything at auction.”

Look at the way people have swung through Communism, Toryism, Liberalism -- in vast blocks. In my father's boyhood you were either a Liberal or a Conservative in England, and there you stuck, and in America you were a sturdy individualist Democrat or Republican from the cradle to the grave. But now the Voice does it -- the pervading voice. And just nowit's come to a point when a Voice -- putting it straight and clear. Straight and clear...

The truth is, there are not two kinds of people. There’s only one: the kind that loves to divide up into gangs who hate each other’s guts. Both conservatives and liberals agree among themselves, on their respective message boards, in uncannily identical language, that their opponents lack any self-awareness or empathy, the ability to see the other side of an argument or to laugh at themselves. Which would seem to suggest that they’re both correct.

Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.

People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn't that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.
