2."I get to go to lot's of overseas places, like canada" Britney Spears
3. "Facts are stupid things" Ronald Regan
4 "Frankel and the Big Ten Network won't say how much Narrative Science charges. The company says it is  continually trying to make the system "a less bad writer," as Kristian Hammond, a Northwestern computer scientist and his partner in Narrative Science, puts it."
5. "Michigan held off Iowa for a 7-5 win on Saturday. The Hawkeyes (16-21) were unable to overcome a four-run sixth inning deficit. The Hawkeyes clawed back in the eighth inning, putting up one run.".. a computer reporting and editing on it's own developed by the company Narrative Science.
