Five states - Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois and North Carolina

Five states - Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois and North Carolina - have been identified

by the EPA as contributing significantly to Rhode Island pollution. As of 2010, 284 tall smokestacks - stacks over 500 feet - were operating in the United States: needles injecting poison into the atmosphere. Sheldon Whitehouse

Just as the Russians and the Soviets didn't manage to wipe out languages in Lithuania, neither have they managed to wipe out religion to the extent that we had feared. Jeane Kirkpatrick

I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record. Ben Harper

Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government. Buffalo Bill

The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God. William Gurnall

Yeah, I am a little bit, and I think it is a natural progression of the sport, of going upwards in technical ability and everything like that. Brian Boitano

Hatred is an affair of the heart; contempt that of the head. Arthur Schopenhauer

I've always been into taking my photos, cropping them square, putting them through a filter in Photoshop. Kevin Systrom

The Stanford prison experiment came out of class exercises in which I encouraged students to understand the dynamics of prison life. Philip Zimbardo

At first, it was hard to sit down and read the things that people were

saying. A lot of people would've worked their way up to this position and would've gotten a thick skin over a few years' time. For me, though, all this happened in a few months. Carrie Underwood We can never fully repay the debt of our proud nation to those who have laid down their lives for our country. The best we can do is honor their memory, ensure that their sacrifice is not in vain, and help provide for their families. Susan Collins Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. Henry Ford The world is governed by opinion. William Ellery Channing I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things. Clive Owen The one thing that disturbs me about Alec is that people don't realize that he's really funny. Daniel Baldwin Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it. Baltasar Gracian

Persuasiveness is really just about getting your ideas across without being forceful.

It's a skill that can be learned and is useful for anyone who works in a team environment. Amanda de Cadenet I was an extra in a Tia Carrere music video. Adam Scott When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you. Kat Graham It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that. Laurence Fishburne Voters aren't asking to be pandered to and aren't asking to be tricked. Jason Kander I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping. Zac Posen Barack Obama was a president who understood not only how technology could transform the way government services worked but also technology itself. He got it. Steven Levy Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up...

You know, I love all kinds of activism. I certainly think blacks deserve

to have something whether it is affirmative action or an opportunity that should be opened up to them. But at the same time I believe that people of color are not the only poor people in America and all over the world. Russell Simmons No one will remember that President Obama supported the Arab Spring if it eventually fails and the region collapses back into the political Dark Ages. If we actively engage these movements with advice, with money, and, when necessary, with military force, then we get a vote in how it all turns out. Sebastian Junger One of the things I learned is that you've got to deal with the underlying social problems if you want to have an impact on crime - that it's not a coincidence that you see the greatest amount of violent crime where you see the greatest amount of social dysfunction. Eric Holder I'm not a big gore hound but monster gore is different to me than killing a teenager in any way that you can when another human-like person does it....

I remember when I was in third grade, I was in a classroom, and the teacher said,

'What do you want to do when you get older?' We were going around the room. I said, 'I want to be a professional basketball player.' She's like, 'That's not realistic.' I thought to myself, 'OK, watch.' Zach LaVine Professional wrestling is my first love, and I will continue to do that, but if I get a good offer for a film or a show, I would love to take it up. Sangram Singh I had this dream in my head of, if I got hired by 'SNL, what that moment would be like. And I dreamed that I would, like, collapse on the sidewalk and cry to the heavens. I got this call, and it didn't happen naturally. But I did it anyway because I wanted to have that moment. So I did collapse. Kate McKinnon It's funny: I don't feel like I have any particular privileged feeling for the Fifties. Todd Haynes Stock market goes up or down, and you can't adjust your portfolio based on the whims of the market, so you have to have a strategy in a position and s...

I think one of the funniest things about '30 Rock' is that Liz Lemon is

sort of like Buster Keaton - she's always the fool, the joke is always on her. Cristin Milioti There is this sense of David Cameron leading a Government that's badly out of touch with ordinary people's lives. I'd absolutely welcome the opportunity to show all political leaders what life is like for most people. Frances O'Grady This sweet, blessed, God-inspired place called America is a champion that has absorbed some blows. But while we bend, we don't break. This is no dark hour; this is the dawn before we remember who we are. Artur Davis As far as I'm concerned, I didn't dream - ever. Theodore Sturgeon Words fall short sometimes. Jeff Bridges Consciousness is the glory of creation. James Broughton I am very, very anti-slasher. Cassandra Peterson I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They're my weakness. Gwyneth Paltrow All things are lessons that God would have us learn. Iyanla Vanzant I listen mostly to classical music. ...

The film I think was a good film for what it was designed for. It

was for kids. Unfortunately the critics slashed it before it even started but that is just the way the cookie crumbles. Justin Guarini All institutions have lapses, even great ones, especially by individual rogue employees - famously in recent years at 'The Washington Post,' 'The New York Times,' and the three original TV networks. Carl Bernstein I was obsessed with this idea that these things that you collect, they just say so much about who you are. I can't say it came from hard-nosed business analysis... It was just something I really want to see built. Ben Silbermann You are not going to get peace with millions of armed men. The chariot of peace cannot advance over a road littered with cannon. David Lloyd I definitely have a family. I have a boyfriend who has kids, and we do normal things every day, like get up and go to school. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Tina Yothers When we talk about the healthcare crisis in America we've got to also ...

I believe, literally, in the God of the Old Testament, whom I understand as the

Lord of the Jews and the Protestants. I'm a Christian Zionist, as well as a Christian feminist and a Christian socialist. Julie Burchill The Question to be considered is, Whether the Government have reason by a Law, to prohibit the taking more than 4 l. per cent Interest for Money lent, or to leave the Borrower and Lender to make their own Bargains. Dudley North I pretend I'm one of the royal family when I'm in a hotel and that the hotel belongs to me - it is a palace. Martin Short Product management really is the fusion between technology, what engineers do - and the business side. Marissa Mayer Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations. Larry Holmes I went to Catholic school. Do as you're told; don't ask questions and you will be illuminated. Katherine Helmond From an early age, I learned to invest myself emotionally in what unfolded b...

That's my personal view I would say most in my caucus agree with that but

there are some who don't and I've always said that on these kinds of moral issues, people have the right to their own opinions. Stephen Harper When you're not blond and thin, you come up with a personality real quick. Kathy Najimy The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit. William Temple I would hope they would be our fellow artists, rather than trying to emulate or idolize clowns like us. Maynard James Keenan Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life. Albert Schweitzer The disappearance of a sense of responsibility is the most far-reaching consequence of submission to authority. Stanley Milgram Life is not over because you have diabetes. Make the most of what you have, be grateful. Dale Evans I am certainly not an intellectual relativist, nor a moral relativist. Edward Tufte

All my graduation money went to paying for bartending classes so I could

have a side gig. I bartended for two months before I was supposed to move to New York and then two months later I got the job as an understudy in 'Sister Act' and haven't looked back since. Patina Miller Potentially significant, by the way, because we don't know exactly what's in Matt Cooper's notes, and we don't know - and we don't still know the answer to the crucial question of whether it was Rove or somebody else that revealed Valerie Plame's name to him. Michael Isikoff I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold, but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time. It wasn't until 1980 - I think I was 12 years old - that I thought, 'Wow that's what I want to do. I want to be on the Olympic team.' Dan O'Brien A corporation is organized as a system - it has this department, that department, that department... they don't have any meaning separately; they only can functio...

The most important thing is to live an interesting life. Keep your eyes, ears and

heart open. Talk to people and visit interesting places, and don't forget to ask questions. To be a writer you need to drink in the world around you so it's always there in your head. Michael Morpurgo I think a major cause of present Asian economic difficulties that mainly come from, you know, lack of market economy. Kim Dae Jung I think I'm just really in love with women, and I love to see them looking incredibly, truly beautiful. I think every time a woman wears one of my dresses, you know, in a matter of speaking, I'm having a little love affair with her! Prabal Gurung Duh! So, we're asking you now, what are some of your favorite lines that this warlock brain produced? Charlie Sheen Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state. John Locke I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live. Godfrey Reggio I wasn't really a work-conscious type...
