The thought of having to go against a 6-2 girl when my tallest is 5-9 is a little intimidating. From what I understand, she doesn't hit the ball really hard but she hits over the block. We'll have to make a few adjustments on defense. Lindsay Heiden (an Ida graduate) has been coming in so our girls can practice going against a 6-2 middle blocker. |
The toxic soup, as it has been called, is touching every square inch of the flooded areas, ... That issue of the environmental cleanup is one that we have not typically faced with other disasters. It's not just the structural integrity of the buildings, but it's the whole issue of contamination: contamination of buildings, contamination of yards. |
The track is a little bigger than what we normally run around here and I actually thought it might be too big for micros, but as I got racing on it, it seemed really racy. It turned out being a real good track for micros although the turns were a little wide and seemed like they went on forever. You could probably start last and win on the track. |
The trouble with most musicians today is that they are copycats. Of course you have to start out playing like someone else. You have a model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. But then you start playing for yourself. Show them that you're an individual. And I can count those who are doing that today on the fingers of one hand. |
The turning point was when I was doing an interview with Bert Olmstead, it was his first in 10 years and one he agreed to only because it was a Saskatchewan project. When I was transcribing his interview, it clicked that the perfect way to present every section was in whatever motif works. Don't worry about the whole book being in the same style. |
The ultimate responsibility of any political official ... is to ensure the safety of his people, and that is exactly what President Bush is doing, what I am doing, ... In this spirit, we talked about military operations, about French support, about the political actions we must take to establish in Afghanistan all the trappings of a modern state. |
The warming at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago, was supported by the disappearance of enormous ice sheets, a one-third increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and changes in the seasonal distribution of the sun's energy. But the abrupt changes we documented during the last ice age seem to be almost entirely ocean driven. |

The winds are forecast to remain calm, so if we wait until tomorrow morning, the batteries will deplete, the relays and valves will go to the normally open condition. As the oxidizer warms up, the tank vents will open, removing the flight pressure. With the booster depressurized and batteries depleted, it will then be safe to approach the rocket. |
There are great young pitchers, guys who can go the distance. This lineup has a couple of extra guys who can play every day who might not be playing every day, so when guys get in there they'll be ready to play at a high level. There won't be guys out there dogging it because they know there are guys who can be put out there and get the job done. |
There are millions of jobs in this country that can't be moved overseas. They include the people who heal the sick and comfort the elderly, who harvest and serve our food, and build and clean and protect our offices and homes. These men and women work hard and play by the rules but for too many the American Dream is something they see only on TV. |
There are some communities that feel you shouldn't give them the publicity, because it's just going to make people curious. There are communities who feel we need to fight them tooth and nail. What we have seen, though, is that ignoring them does not make them go away. If we sit back and let them have free reign, we lose members of our community. |
There are times when we have to do certain things to help him defensively but the flip side of that is he's done so much for our team that we need him on the floor, ... We live with the defensive deficiencies that may come about because of his lack of size. He more than makes up for that with a big, big heart and being a competitor the way he is. |
There are two components. It's a process that keeps our organization filled with talented players because we have excellent people involved in scouting and the minor league system. The second part is Bobby Cox and his coaching staff, who take this talent wherever it comes from and blends it as effectively as any staff in the major leagues can do. |
There is no primary cancer treatment for children available in the state, and so travel expenses become huge. But we also cover things to keep everything afloat at home. We've paid for groceries, mortgage payments, rent payments, utilities, keep vehicles running so they can get to out-of-town appointments, you name it, we've probably paid for it. |
