I certainly believe that improving our intelligence is of important national interest.

I want to improve TSA's counterterrorism focus through intelligence and cutting edge technology support the TSA workforce and strengthen the agency's relationships with stakeholders and the traveling public. All of these priorities are interconnected and are vital to TSA's mission - and I would say all of our collective mission.

Intelligence is our first line of defense against terrorism and we must improve the collection capabilities and analysis of intelligence to protect the security of the United States and its allies.

But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.

Improving our national intelligence capabilities should remain a top priority and a continual process.

Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on one's share in the world's work and perhaps in addition lend a hand in improving society after schooling is done.

We will have to continue to improve our human intelligence system-something that was unfortunately lacking in the years which led up to September 11. This is going to be a continuing process of change.

Almost every college playwright or sketch or improv comedian was sort of aware of Christopher Durang - even kids in high school. His short plays were so accessible to younger people and I think that was inspirational to me.

And by the way everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Theater is of course a reflection of life. Maybe we have to improve life before we can hope to improve theater.

History offers no evidence for the proposition that the assignment of women to military combat jobs is the way to win wars improve combat readiness or promote national security.

If you listen to Giuliani it's like nobody did anything to improve the city except him. I'm not part of the history. Bloomberg's not part of the history. It's like he did it. He's the only one. That's why he's a little crazy.

There is little evidence that our individual intelligence has improved through recorded history.

The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds as it amuses the fancy as it improves the understanding and as it strengthens virtue.

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.

It's been proven that fitting more activity into your day can greatly improve your health.

Yoga is at the core of my health and wellness routine even if it's only for 10 to 15 minutes I find it helps me to re-center and to focus as well as improve my overall core strength.

Everyone knows that exercise can improve your health. Exercise is a key part of managing your weight and maintaining healthy hearts lungs and other bodily systems. But did you know that exercise can make you more productive? The latest research shows that a regular exercise routine can make you happier smarter and more energetic.

The truth is women use contraception not only as a way to prevent unintended pregnancies but also to improve their health and the health of their families. Increased access to contraception is directly linked to declines in maternal and infant mortality.

The people of South and Central Texas and the Coastal Bend need jobs they need health care they need water infrastructure improvements they need a quality education and they need the resources to keep our borders safe and secure.

By the Obama administration's reasoning it would be constitutionally permissible to make Americans purchase nearly any product (broccoli gym membership) that improved their health and thereby contributed to lower health-care costs.

I want to thank the efforts of the American Public Health Association and its 200-plus partners who have organized events around the Nation that serve to raise everyone's awareness of the need to improve public health.

Do you know what the overhead is of the Medicare system? One-point-zero-five percent. Do you know what - private insurance is 30 percent in overhead and profits? Given a choice how I'm going to improve health care I'm going to take it away from private insurance profits and overhead. Wouldn't you?

It has pleased and interested me to see how I could get along under difficult circumstances and with so much discomfort but as I say I was not sent out here to improve my temper or my health or to make me more content with my good things in the East.
