We think that countries and areas of activity that have been weakest in the last couple of years are likely to see the strongest rebound in growth. Thus, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands should see more marked recoveries than Spain and France, where activity has held up well. |
We think that there's a little bit of profit taking [with General Dynamics], maybe some of the momentum guys that are coming out of this name a little bit. But we think you want to have a position in your portfolio in the defense sector. It's the name we like best in that area, |
We thought that if all the patients had been staged - which suggests that they had access to the appropriate specialists and implies some level of trust in the medical system - that they would have the same rate of surgery. We were quite surprised to find this was not the case. |
We thought we got our defense under us in the first half and kind of set the tone for the rest of the game. We had a little lull defensively in the third quarter, but they're a very good offensive basketball team and they weren't going to come out of the locker room lying down. |
We threw the ball away with a lot of turnovers, and that's been killing us all season long. At halftime I just told the guys, we got ourselves into this mess, let's get ourselves out. Everybody went out and played with a lot of heart and passion. We just got it done. I'm happy. |
We told the judges that we would rather you were human about the approach rather than completely scientific, otherwise it turns into a gadget show. The show has a lot of similarities to Idol in that you can relate to the person coming into the room and form an opinion early on. |
We took advantage of every break we got. We took advantage of our odd-numbered situations that we haven't previously taken advantage of in Game 3 and Game 4. The good chances they gave us, we made sure we finished. We made sure that we got them down when we had the opportunity. |
We want to see to it that we still have medical decisions being made in favor of and on behalf of the patients, ... This is to see to it that the HMOs are treated the same as anybody else, not given preferential and reverential treatment. That's what the Norwood amendment does. |
We wanted to provide them with the greatest encouragement, that the city of Indian Wells and PM Sports are working together, ... And we reached terms so they can feel confident coming in, that this is a good deal for them. We set the stage for it to be a good deal economically. |
We went 1-3-1 (on defense) and I think it caused a little bit of confusion because we hadn't shown it all year. We had to handle the ball a little bit better and knock a few shots down. I think it was just a matter of getting a stop here or there and getting a couple of scores. |
We went from our attacking formation, like 3-4-3 back to a 3-5-2 just to guard that lead. Clovis put us under pressure but it was good for us to work through that because we're trying to prepare ourselves with different formations so we can be prepared for different situations. |
We went through this last year. ... We're not going to get into wild-card formulas. The magic number has got to be zero to celebrate. It is one. ... It's a great feeling to know we're going to play in October, but we've always been taught you're a champion when it gets to zero. |
We were a little nervous. I think we did a nice job to extend the lead to 13 and then Maine turned right around and hit three threes in about a minute. I thought we kept our composure and we made some key foul shots down the stretch. It wasn't pretty, but Maine is a tough team. |
We were able to work on both our strengths and weaknesses, and it's encouraging to see that. The reality is that we'll be playing some of the top competition in the nation at our next tournament (the Pacific-10 Conference championships), and we'll need to be as ready as we can. |
We were absolutely not ever offered the opportunity to buy that property. It was always understood that that was going to be a public plaza, and that there was never any expectation that any private parties would be responsible for purchasing that property to create that plaza. |
