How can we expect the nation to believe us that we need these projects to save the coastal wetlands that are vital to ourselves and to the nation, when we ask for a blank check and no oversight over $200 billion packed with projects that have nothing to do with either floor protection of the city of New Orleans or restoring the coast? |
I am fully convinced that he will elevate the program to what you expect. You will love his values, you will be impressed with his preparation for every game and you will love the aggressive defense his team plays. He has made clear our players will do well academically and graduate and that he will comply fully with NCAA regulations. |
I am not against the pharmaceutical companies. I love them. That's not the issue. The issue is, in some cases, when they do these clinical trials, they control the data. They analyze the data. In some cases, they even write the article. And that leads to at least the perception, if not the reality, that there's a conflict of interest. |
I am optimistic about most of the stocks in the market because I think it's only the Dow and the transports that have a negative profile right now. We've evaluated and came up with 10 sectors that we thought were positioned the best in the year 2000, and moving forward in terms of providing leadership in the economy. And then in that |
I approached Danny and just asked him what he thought about playing in the field. I knew he had done that before playing for club. And he said he would like to play in the field. So it was more of just a try and then it worked out. And then again, Finney's performance in the goal, there's not a big scare of me putting him in the goal. |
I believe that turmoil of 1994 scarred the firm in such a way that it believed it needed a steady source of capital, permanent capital, that something like 1994 should never happen again, ... and that the way to keep something like that from ever happening again, one of the ways, was to take permanent capital from public shareholders. |
I caught it in time where it didn't lead to something worse. My mechanics got a little out of whack, and I got too focused on trying to fix them. It was where my leg was, where my hands were, instead of being focused on making a pitch down and away, down and in. If you focus on the result, then everything else may take care of itself. |
I certainly don't see this as the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar and I don't see this as the beginning of the beginning for the Japanese economy, either. A stronger yen is going to slow the Japanese economy down and a weaker dollar isn't going to have an enormous impact on the U.S., so it's not a major concern at the moment. |
I definitely think playing for a higher seed is very important. If you open up the tournament playing somebody from a very small conference ... getting that first one is the most important thing in that tournament. We're trying to get that first win so we can get that second win, so we can get back in the Sweet 16 and break the curse. |
I don't see last year as being representative of me as a player, ... I just haven't thrown interceptions like that [19, one more than in his entire college career]. As the year went on, I found myself trying to make plays that weren't there. In this league you can't use injuries as an excuse, and I won't. I know I have to play better. |
I don't think any of these players are sitting there shedding a tear. They have a lot of different options. Guys who are active and can play are looking at it as a great chance to go to an environment where they can choose, make more and win a championship. The guys it helps are the ones who have games left. It's Christmas (for them). |
I don't think there's any doubt that we're going in, ... And I don't think there's any doubt over the eventual resolution to the war. But there's no way to handicap a war. All these talking heads that are saying it's going to be a short tactical thing, how do they know? Back in 1991 they said it was going to be a long drawn-out thing. |
I don't think there's one thing you can hang your hat on and say you won or lost with. The two walks and the ball in center field that dropped obviously were bigger contributors in that inning than the missed call on the check swing. We just set the table for them and you can't do that to a club like the Red Sox. They're too powerful. |
I don't think we played very well. We didn't look quick, we didn't look fast and we didn't play with the same energy level that I've seen us play with throughout the year so far. I'm not blaming it on anything because that's not my nature, but we certainly didn't have the energy and the enthusiasm that we've played with to this point. |
I feel strongly that we need to do a feasibility study first to determine demographics, enrollment projections and how we're using current facilities. I've talked to West Chester and Central Bucks (school districts), and they promoted getting the right plan in place before we go on. We need prudent planning up front to get this right. |
