(Henry) was productive for us in the second half of the game last week against Baltimore, when we needed five yards to kneel on it, and he got 20, ... He ran hard against a good defensive front. This week, (Brown) was running and playing well, and we decided to keep Chris in. Chris was hot, and we were going to go with him. Travis got a couple opportunities in the ballgame. |
(The win) was a step in the right direction. That was what I saw more than anything else. I don't know if I saw any more excitement or enthusiasm than (this team) had a year ago ... but what you get back is positive reinforcement. The final product is winning the ballgame. Those are the kind of things that make players understand better and better what you're talking about. |
[Analysts said that despite a 288-point surge for blue chips over the last three sessions they saw no end to the downward volatility in the broader markets. Small and mid-cap stocks have not climbed with the Dow.] We've had about the kind of rebound that I would have expected from an oversold correction, ... I think the overall direction of the market is going to be choppy. |
[But some people aren't entirely happy with that arrangement. MCI WorldCom Inc. withdrew from the W3C after two years when it concluded that membership wasn't worth $50,000 per year.] The structure of the W3C didn't lend itself to quite the degree of freedom to contribute that the IETF does, ... We found it difficult to get points across and to influence what was happening. |
[COLUMBIA CITY - Brittney Kyler finished with a round of 41 and Natosha Wood finished the day right behind her with with a 42 as the Columbia City High School Lady Eagles' golf team edged Leo at Eagle Glen Golf Course, 180-184.] We escaped with a victory in this match, ... This was a match where they had the lead, we caught up and went ahead, and then we tried to give away. |
[Hawaii nose tackle Reagan Mauia was flagged for two major penalties on successive plays in the fourth quarter at Michigan State, one for a late hit on Stanton. Defensive coordinator Jerry Glanville was not pleased.] I said the next time he gets that penalty he should go immediately to the admissions office and get his transcripts so he can transfer, ... We won't have that. |
[His two grants from NSF and NICHD were] not redundant, ... because the goals of the NICHD grant and the NSF grant are different although the two projects are carried out in the same location. The NICHD project focuses on the interactions between human population and the environment, while the NSF project focuses on the interactions among people, panda habitat and policies. |
[In the absence of center fielder Chris Duffy (strained left hamstring), Sanchez has filled in admirably in the leadoff spot. In 20 starts at the top of the order, Sanchez has hit .326 (29 for 89).] He has a good ability to work the count, ... Freddy can get on base. He can hit with two strikes. I think it's awfully hard to defense him. He slaps the ball all over the place. |
[Indeed, last June, while protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning of a game against the Chicago Cubs, Bagwell -- with the bases loaded and one out -- found himself chasing a high fly ball into foul territory beyond first base. He was nine months removed from surgery on his throwing shoulder.] It was killing him, ... He couldn't throw the ball as far as my 10-year-old. |
[It has worked for U2 for 10 years.] By the mid-'90s, ... our touring was getting very big, and even though we had had very healthy relationships with very good agents . . . the game had changed and the sums of money involved were far too big to address our touring in a piecemeal way, transaction by transaction. We really needed to start working with a single tour promoter. |
[Kay said the United States was not alone in its prewar interpretation of Iraq's weapons capability. Although other countries' intelligence agencies differed on how serious a threat Iraq was and what course of action to take to mitigate it,] there was very little difference around the world on the issue of 'Does [Saddam] have weapons?' ... ' Yes, he did,' was the consensus. |
[Nortel had misrepresented results over several years, possibly in an effort to trigger bonus payments, sparking regulatory and criminal investigations in the U.S. and Canada. The company was forced to restate a half-decade's results, diverting management's resources and spooking some customers (see BW Online, 03/22/05,] More of Nortel's Slip Is Showing ... absolute crisis. |
[Of course, sometimes when you go behind the scenes like this all you get is another scene: a carefully composed snapshot, not of what an athlete is like off the field, but of what he wants you to think he's like off the field. I'm sure, by now, most fans realize this and recognize the dangers of hero worship.] Idolatry is really not good for anyone, ... Not even the idols. |
[Steve Nash, who had hit 57 percent of his shots in the first two games against San Antonio, including 1 of 2 three-point attempts, was explaining what happened on the last shot of Game 2, the one that didn't fall, the one that didn't tie the game and give the Phoenix Suns a chance to even the series in overtime.] Bruce Bowen switched out on me, ... I didn't have much room. |
