I think she made a huge step last year. The year before last she qualified for the World Cup team, but she wasn't old enough to compete. Last year was the first time she had raced on the international circuit. Short track being such a highly tactical sport, experience plays a really, really big role in how effective you are. |
I think that's a fair assessment. When you're on a winning streak, it seems you can't do anything wrong, and even when you do something wrong, it seems that it's overshadowed by something bigger or better. When you're riding a losing streak, it seems you're always just one mistake from putting yourself back in that big hole. |

I think the future of it is bright. Generally, it received good reports. There were a few bumps along the way but nothing significant where you'd hear anyone say, 'Chuck this, it's not working.' It's been the other way around. Most people believe it's been a good thing that has brought credibility and a trust (to the sport). |
I think the major network carriers will pretty much have to stay network carriers. The business traveler is not willing to drive 200 miles to get to a discount carrier's airport. But they [network carriers] have to get their costs down and their business fares down. And if they don't, there won't be as many network carriers. |
I think they dominated us for two years and we've been very fortunate at the end of the game to win. If you look at all the stats, we haven't matched up very well in either game and Boston College has done some really good things against us. I think more than anything else, we just hung around there until the fourth quarter. |
I think we've improved in every area, and I think they could say the same. That game was the first weekend in January before we started going through this gauntlet. I think both teams just have so many more experiences; so many more practices that have hopefully made us better in every area. And I think we both probably are. |
I think what's driving it is Helena is still recognized as a value in the western Montana markets. When you compare Helena to Kalispell or Missoula or Bozeman or any other nice place to live in Montana, it's relatively speaking still a good buy, which says the average could continue to go up for the next three or four years. |
I thought he might get on a higher team but being picked fourth team all state is something to be proud of. Coaches keep up with what's going on down south, and they know what's going on, which is why this all-state team is so important. It seems to get the most respect. I just wish more people had been able to see him play. |
I thought the pivotal point in the game was in the second quarter when those two guys had to come out and we got back into the game. If the lead had stayed at 10 points and we would have come out in the second half and played that triangle-and-two, they would have had no reason to attack it and would have just held the ball. |
I thought we played hard, every kid we put on the floor played hard. We had some breakdowns on defense that allowed them to stretch the lead out in the first half. Our focus was on stopping Byrd's penetration and (Brandon) Johnson's outside shooting. McCall just killed us inside. He's a heck of a player; he's come along way. |
I told him it was a great idea and he has taken on that commitment, ... That is a commitment not just to this community but a commitment to the American spirit. This is what living in America is all about and why we live here. And I want to tell you that will be just as important as any assistance we get. |
I try not to think about it. The times you think about it are when you are on a plane and you hit some turbulence and you hope it doesn't happen again. Right now, you can't help but get on airplanes and fly. I'm just thankful my wife and I were OK. Then, you go on with life. You can't use that as a crutch not to do anything. |
I urge the Chinese people -- my compatriots -- to rethink what role China should play in the international order, ... China should take this opportunity to look inward at our problems. We should try to change our political system and many other things to catch up to the level of the rest of civilization in the outside world. |
I want to commend a truly committed statewide coalition of California government, health, HIV/AIDS, consumer and community organizations who have worked closely together throughout the fall to keep this issue alive. I also want to acknowledge the support of the Legislature's Gay and Lesbian Caucus on the this important bill. |
