The power of the name cuts two ways. It means a lot to people. I think Jacob's story is very important and that's something we don't want to lose. At the same time, when people hear JWF they have a clear image of who we are and what we do, and we're trying to move beyond that. |
The prelims went really well for me. I was kind of surprised at how well everything went. I was seeded seventh in the 50 free, which is just one spot out of the finals. Actually now I'm seeded third for the finals, which is good. I was seeded 11th in the 100 and now I'm fifth. |
The president wished them a Merry Christmas and thanked them for their service to our country. He just wanted to tell them that he was thinking of them and their families at this holiday season and that the American people were behind them and supported their efforts overseas. |
The program was a tremendous success in the past year, and it will be an even greater success with all the new districts getting involved with it. We are delighted that so many districts throughout Arizona are committed to protecting our children from harmful diesel emissions. |
The proof is in the numbers. The numbers don't lie. I wouldn't say we're the worst defensive team of all time, but who would? We haven't performed well defensively and that's something we need to get better at. We've got to get stops. We've got to make a commitment to defense. |
The psychological root behind this competitive streak is that I was an athlete when I was young and took sports really seriously. I look at directing as a sporting event. It's a race, a marathon. It's great when it clicks - which is why I push my crews so hard so we can excel. |
The question of intergenerational progress is, 'Are you doing better than your parents? Often when immigrants come, one of the reasons is so that their children will have better lives, and having a better life in California and the U.S. is often associated with more education. |
The real dichotomy in this market is that crude inventories are very high and that could make for some violent, back-and-forth price action. For the foreseeable future, the path of least resistance remains up until there is a significant structural economic or political shift. |
The real key to our concept is that our menu is unique. People can get wraps or hoagies anywhere. But our menu, with our fresh baked bread and signature salads and sandwiches, stands out. And because we focus on the business community, customer service is a high premium to us. |
The receivers are running deep routes, and you've got a hand on their hip, and with the pressure (up front), the quarterback just lofts it up, and it's pretty much a one-on-one play, ... Our front seven is creating a lot of opportunities for us. More pressure equals turnovers. |

The Republicans are so disorganized. It's one year out (from the general election), and they don't have a top-flight candidate lined up. I'm not too optimistic. The Republicans will have to slug it out in a primary. She's the odds-on favorite unless something dramatic changes. |
The revenue-sharing issue has never been an impediment in the past to getting an agreement with the Players Association. The difference between now and the past is the fundamental change in ... [the union's] expectations as to the percentages that should go to the players. ... |
The right guys are scoring for us. I'm cheering for Joe to win the scoring title and for Cheech to win the goals title, the Richard Trophy. Provided it doesn't take away from what we're trying to do to win, I'll do everything in my power to put them in the position to succeed. |
