These findings suggest the medical ritual of a device can deliver an enhanced placebo effect beyond that of a placebo pill. There are many conditions in which ritual is irrelevant when compared with drugs, such as in treatment of a bacterial infection, but the other extreme may also be true: In some cases, the ritual may be the critical component.

There are little moments when Ted Baxter seeps through. His voice sinks down.. There's a momentary expression. Ted Baxter is an extension of Ted Knight. I'll never completely divorce myself from that guy. But Baxter was limited, he only reacted, he couldn't resolve a critical situation.

I don't want to sound overly critical, but it's hard to imagine that (the damage caused by Katrina) could happen in a Western country. It seemed like plans for protection and evacuation weren't really in place, and once it happened, the coordination was on loose hinges.

The ice epidemic is very critical -- that's the root of a lot of the problems we are having today from identify theft to property crimes. That would be a good start, to supplement law enforcement locally, to give state and county more funding to combat the ice epidemic.

Given our relationship with the Student Cooperative Association, and in anticipation of receiving lots of requests of this nature, we've chosen simply to decline them all. The Student Cooperative Association has long run the Co-op Store, a critical element within the Co-op association, and so we did not wish to create a divisive element for the student-owned and operated Co-op Store.

Although there's never a good time, it's not as critical as it would be, say, six or eight weeks down the road, when there would be a flood of corn and soybeans coming down the river.

Both of us are very, very encouraged by his progress. But he's still in very critical condition and he's still a long way from being out of the woods. I'm pretty delighted with what's going on, but I'm also still very concerned. He's a long way from being healthy. When they move him up to the surgical floor, I'll be feeling a lot better.

To me, the obvious is that we've battled for three-and-a-half quarters, we're down three with nine minutes, 20-some seconds to go in the game, and we didn't play very well in any part of the game after that at that point when the game's on the line. What you don't want is guys looking for excuses. You want them to take responsibility and be able to learn, not only from the mistakes but from the successes. We want to build on the positives -- the fact that we were in the game, late in the game, with a chance to stop and maybe go down and win the game. Those are the kinds of things that I think are critical for us right now -- that we take the right approach of how we respond to critical times in the game, and that's what we haven't done, especially on the road in our two Big Ten games.

We are playing a lot more sound. We'll give up some plays every now and then, which everybody does, but you don't see them in bunches, you don't see them in critical times, you don't see them in the red zone. I think that's why our defense is better.
