    The street outside my window is one of a million likeminded Los Angeles streets. Taggers, homeless, families and lovers, thieves and beggars, running children and old women, churches, bars, corner stores, Spanish, Cambodian and Armenian words and accents. I want to hug my street and all within, to feel the throbbing pulse beating its steady rhythm.

  2. Kurt Brunner:

    It's going to be better than what the consensus numbers were pointing to, our economy is doing okay. We're not growing at 5 percent but we have slow, steady growth and I think that continues.

  3. Alexander Graham Bell:

    The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion... It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.

  4. Chairman Schiff:

    Over the past year, Dan Goldman has provided strategic guidance, wise counsel and steady leadership to our Committee through a turbulent, but critical time, we know that the team Dan Goldman helped us build from scratch will continue their important work, and while we will all miss Dan Goldman in the committee, we know that Dan Goldman family is excited to get him back.

  5. Liz Bentley:

    It's going to continue into the autumn and then really, we don't know beyond that. It depends on whether we see any significant rainfall -- good steady rainfall that replenishes water levels, what we don't want at the moment are heavy, thundery downpours, because the ground is so dry that water just runs off. It doesn't soak into the ground.
