argue both distances equalize given heavy help highway impact increase likely limits longer lower negative opponents people require research speed speeds stopping suggested therefore truck trucks
People argue that heavy trucks require longer braking distances for any given speed, and lower truck speeds help equalize the stopping distance. On the other hand, opponents of lower truck speed limits have suggested that the differential speeds increase speed variance and therefore have a negative impact on highway safety. Our research demonstrates that it is likely that both of these arguments are correct.
buying clearly ipad kindle leading people platforms
What's encouraging is that the early new platforms - Kindle and iPad - are clearly leading to people buying more books. The data is in on that.
available good groups literally ours people room step sure treated walk
Those groups have done a lot of good work, but there is room for a group like ours to step in and literally walk people through what's available to them, and make sure they are treated fairly.

Some of these folks were in terrible straits. People were put in severe financial jeopardy as a result of incurring incredibly high health care expenses.
intelligent errors people
How could so many intelligent people be so grievously wrong for such an extended period of time? How could they ignore so much overwhelming evidence that contradicted their most basic theories? These questions, too, deserve their own discipline: the sociology of error.

When it's a sharing and improvisational meeting, where you're riffing off other people's ideas, that actually can be productive.
inspiration ideas people
What you end up seeing when you look at history is that people who have been good at pushing the boundaries of possibility, and exploring those frontiers of good ideas and innovations, have rarely done it in moments of great inspiration. They don't just have a brilliant breakthrough idea out of nowhere and leap ahead of everyone else.
thinking people one-day
Most new movements start this way: hundreds or thousands of individuals and groups, working in different fields and different locations, start thinking about change using a common language, without necessarily recognizing those shared values. You just start following your own vector, propelled along by people in your immediate vicinity. And then one day, you look up and realize that all those individual trajectories have turned into a wave.
ideas people viewpoints
Those that regularly come into contact with people having diverse interests and viewpoints are more likely to come up with innovative ideas.
action care correct course cut dropped floor hand plank sit stop today turning wait wood
Today I dropped a plank of wood on my hand and cut my finger. I had no idea that the correct course of action in such circumstances is to sit on the floor and wait for the world to stop turning so someone could take care of it for you.
good home ownership rate start
Obviously, you're not going to get to 100 percent, but you can make big improvements. The African-American home ownership rate here is 40 percent. Nationally, it's 48 percent. If we can make up that 8 percent, well, that's a good start right there.

It's a lot harder to just throw up some HTML.
cognitive complexity trying
I have problems with the violence and the torture on '24.' What I'm trying to say is that that's not the only story, and I think that the cognitive complexity is as important.
