On a bell curve, we're all born with certain skills. Some people are beter track runners than others, and on and on, and everyone knows this. But there are some people who are more psychic, more tuned in. If you're too far above average, you can walk down the street, go into information overload, be empathic, be an empath, pick up all the feelings of all the people around you... and your life can be miserable. |
Our focus is to understand how high-level clouds, cirrus clouds, impact the climate system. Global warming is the climate change we're the most worried about. We are in the process of doubling the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere since the Industrial Age began. The cause is the burning of fossil fuels, and it is significant because it is drastically changing the composition of the atmosphere. |
Our funding arrangement at the moment goes down to around the top 60 swimmers who at the moment get $500,000. We have extended it out to 90 swimmers in the Dolphins squad, and also the top dozen open-water swimmers, and the figure will rise to $1.1 million in the first year, and then increase in the years following. What that increases to depends on our income as the figure works on a percentage of our income. |
Our guys have to be able to handle that pressure. There are a lot of distractions. There is a lot of tugging and a lot of things you have to deal with that are different from the regular season. I want them to enjoy where they are at because it is the pinnacle of college basketball to get to this point. At the same time, you have to keep the focus there and put yourself in position to play the best basketball. |
Our middle linebacker's an All-Pro and he had (90) tackles. That shows you what kind of team we have. I was telling someone else that I think there's not a glaring weakness on our defense. Before, if a corner had 150 tackles, obviously he was picked on. We don't have that. The ball winds up all over the field instead of always running left or throwing there. That has made everyone even as far as statistics go. |
People might think we have expectations on us in this tournament because of last year, but we still feel we are underdogs. We're going into every game as if we are underdogs. We are playing a great team in Southern Illinois, they have shown that all year. They have been here a lot more times than we have and they have a lot of experience. I don't believe there is any more pressure on us than they have on them. |
Quick -- isn't he quick? He made that happen there in the eighth inning. ... Speed is a constant. It's at the ballpark every day. It makes the infielders shorten up a little. It makes them, in running situations, get a little closer to the bag. Creates more holes for hitters. And then it makes pitchers slide step and concentrate more on the baserunner than the hitter. So it's a big advantage having some speed. |
Science and Nature should take the lead in the wake of this scandal. In a world where financial incentives can warp the scientific enterprise just as much as the lust for scientific prestige, it is incumbent that journal editors have strict conflict-of-interest disclosure policies. And, given the voluntary nature of disclosure, they should have teeth like a three-year ban on publishing for failing to disclose. |
She is a great community service person. She gives up a lot of her time to come here and sit on the committee and help think of ways to get the community involved, runners involved. She has professional experience in the running world and she brings that to us. Visiting Nurses Service & Hospice of Suffolk appreciates and feels privileged and honored to have her assist with our race. She really is a great lady. |

Teams are trying to take certain things away from us, but we're just trying to win games. We'll just take what's there. We're learning to get to the rim, and we're learning to finish plays. This is an opportunity, around Christmas, you can either get better or worse, or stay the same. I told them we should get better, because we're fortunate to be playing in these tournaments. I hope we seize that opportunity. |
Teams like New England and Philadelphia win the old-fashioned way. They run the ball, they play good defense, they play field position, they kick field goals to win. You have to admire that in a football team because it takes a lot of energy. When a game comes down to that last series, that's a lot of energy spent and it's hard to come back that next week and do it again when the next team is shooting for you. |
That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? / I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: / And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. |
That word refers also to the larger issue of seeking and, we hope, finding meaning and purpose in one's life. People gravitate toward a particular religion because they are searching for meaning. Organized religion can fill some, but not all the spiritual needs of every person. The series addresses the spirituality needs in a broad perspective not possible confined by the boundaries of a specific denomination. |
