This visit did not comply with the rules or conventions under international law, the Geneva Convention, in that they were not allowed to see these prisoners alone, they were escorted by representatives of the Yugoslav government. The rules say they should be allowed to meet with them alone. |
This was a colossal effort, and we are very anxious to share it with everyone, but we can't go live without an iron-clad site. We need it to work perfectly, but we know what the problem is, and we are looking forward to an internal launch any day now, and a public launch sometime next week. |
This was a great night for these kids. We told them (Saturday) morning that 15, 20 years from now, nobody's going to remember who they played or what their record was, but these guys are going to remember that they came here and played. Whenever we get the invitation, we won't turn it down. |
This will be our first test of the second half of the season, so it will be a big game. We'll have to be a little bit more focused than we were tonight. We're also going to have to expect a little more pressure. I expect them to pass batter. I'm sure their attack is going to be coming hard. |
Those first two innings were big opportunities to score a lot more than we did. Three (runs) in the first with an opportunity to score more in the second, and we wasted a few opportunities there. It wasn't like we were giving away at-bats or anything like that. It just didn't happen for us. |
Those games went so fast because we didn't play full matches, and we couldn't get settled in but we're happy with how we came came out. It's a good confidence builder for us; we just need to come in on Saturday morning and take care of business so we can advance to the championship bracket. |

Throughout spring ball and camp, I've always been a big supporter of Parrish. I think he's a great running back, does some great things. Not taking anything away from Thomas, but I think Parrish is talented. When Thomas comes back, I think we're going to be a high-powered, two-back offense. |
Throughout training camp, they've been our most consistent defensemen. Barker, he's coming out of junior. I'd like to see him elevate his assertiveness. He does everything at one speed, and I think he's finding, as more and more of the regulars are playing, he's caught in between sometimes. |
To a certain extent, I'm not trying to evolve out of this world of physical pain into a world of mental stress and anguish. But I do have a bit of the business bug. I'm aware I have to try to mediate it to a certain point so I don't become soaked down to the point where it's hard to escape. |
To a lot of people, it didn't matter how many times I beat him. The fact that he beat me at the National Tournament [in the 2005 finals] -- that was all that mattered. That was big for me. I didn't want to end my career without winning a national title. Now that I've done it, it feels good. |
To a startling degree, the political capital and momentum that he had at the start of 2005 have been dissipated almost entirely. The administration is reactive and in a defensive posture, really. You have a Congress that is splintering and rebellious. ... Republicans are in a survival mode. |
