It was his best season. Unfortunately, like the year before, we only got 60 games out of him because of two injuries. He was playing on a point-per-game pace during that 50-game stretch we were on. What if he didn't get hurt? Well, we would like to find out this year and have him play a full season. Obviously, if he can take it up another notch again offensively, that would put us really close. |
It was tough, knowing there was Division I schools where I could have walked on or had opportunities to play Division I-AA. They call you a student-athlete; sometimes the student part has to come first. The environment up there and the academics really mean a lot to me. A lot of people think I'm crazy for passing up those opportunities, but I really feel at peace that I made the right decision. |
It?s a really neat thing, and then it?s over. Like anything else - starting Game One of the playoffs or the first game of the second half - it?s cool, it?s a big deal. And then it?s over. With the way this staff is set up, I don?t know if it?s as meaningful as the past, because there?s potentially a couple of No. 1?s in this rotation. By the end of the year, hopefully that will bear itself out. |

It's a wicked bug, ... It's an environmental organism that's wherever the soldiers are -- in the water, in the trenches. It's able to survive literally anywhere -- in food, on human skin, and in the bowels and intestines of humans. And it has become highly antibiotic-resistant, with all sorts of enzymes that incapacitate antibiotics and a pumping mechanism that literally pumps out the medicine. |
It's appalling that the tobacco industry is not held responsible for the deadly products it continues to market and sell to young people. Clearly, the industry is trying to get young people hooked on smoking and nothing is being done to limit this targeted marketing. Cigarettes, even in assorted candy flavors, cause lung cancer and lung disease and should be banned for the sake of our children. |
It's definitely unusual. We heard about that from a lot of people. They congratulated us. Usually, you have one maybe that makes a team. But to have a rookie free-agent class like this is special. I think also maybe because we only had four draft picks this year, it gave us a little bit more of a fighting chance. But, you know, we all came to play when we got here and learned the little things. |
It's frustrating because through the season, we've seen our scores go up. In Rice Lake we were in the 130s. Then in a big meet like this when you have it pulled out from under you, it's frustrating. Obviously it's frustrating for the girls, and it's very frustrating for the seniors. I was very proud of our performance. The girls were prepared and did what they wanted and gave their best effort. |
It's hard to accumulate data if you haven't started early, ... Any additional time that children can have with good teachers is going to make a difference, and that was in fact part of the premise of the calendar committee when they came to the [School Board] with this recommendation. They wanted to put more instructional days prior to testing, to give children the best chance to be successful. |
It's much better to get here and have a shot at going all the way. We've been here a few times. Last year we made it, this year we didn't. It's so hard now because you have two rounds. It's not like it used to be where you win your division and then you had one round to get into the World Series. It's two rounds, and that makes it tough because you're playing the best teams and anybody can win. |
It's not anything that you could ever prepare yourself for. And for someone who spends a lot of time talking, it really is the first thing that really renders you speechless because you just don't know how to express in words what it would mean to be part of this fraternity. And I still haven't figured out how to say it. All I can do is just look around bug-eyed at all the people that are here. |
It's something we've always wanted to do as a band, just a quick jaunt through VFW halls and venues like that. We'd announce the show the night before or maybe play under some secret names. And we thought it would be cool because we don't feel like any band has gotten to a certain size and still gone on a VFW hall tour. So we'd like to play a couple of dates on the East Coast. Watch out for it. |
It's the worst day of any parent's life when they get that visit from a guy in uniform talking about their kid. For our family it has been life-altering. But more than that you find out that the bravery with which these kids faced the enemy in Iraq is really doubled or more by the bravery that they show while recovering from their injuries. Our family is one of the lucky ones. Our son is alive. |
Joe [Brooks] is really interesting in that he's worked on a lot of film and he's worked in a lot of different mediums. So as much as he had a clear vision, he also was very much into discovering it as it went. So he brought us one text and we came up with a very different one. We just all sort of watched it appear in front of our eyes. None of us knew what this show was until we began previews. |
Language designers want to design the perfect language. They want to be able to say, "My language is perfect. It can do everything." But it's just plain impossible to design a perfect language, because there are two ways to look at a language. One way is by looking at what can be done with that language. The other is by looking at how we feel using that language - how we feel while programming. |
