“[Television is] demanding more cognitive engagement with each passing year, ... Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture is Actually Making Us Smarter.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“The large number of safety studies indicates that this issue has received a great amount of attention. Unfortunately, many of these studies involve more advocacy than science. It's not that these studies aren't valuable, but they have problems with methodology, statistical analysis and even simple understanding of important terms, such as 'speeding.' In accident data, speeding is defined as both 'traveling faster than the posted limit' and 'traveling too fast for conditions.' Studies often do not differentiate between these definitions.”
