That's not an area where we spend a lot of time recruiting in, so I don't see a lot of value there. Although, we are in Florida this year more than we've ever been. I don't know that you're really going to know the value of that stuff until later on ? whether it's valuable or not. |

That's something we got to work on. It's been two games in a row that we allowed a team to come back. It made it a little too exciting, which I guess is fun for everybody else. But it stinks for us. I know a lot of people on the sideline were biting their fingernails a little bit. |
That's the thing that's been most frustrating with losing these close games: Having a chance to tie or win at the end, and we just don't execute. Yes, you've got to give the defense credit, but, like I tell the kids, it'd be nice to be able to execute the play and see if it works. |
That's the toughest thing for a young player to learn, and at the major-league level he has to be able to do it consistently. It's tougher to turn the double play at second than at shortstop because your back is to the runner. You have to have a lot of heart, nerve and confidence. |
That's the way he approaches things, and that's why we were successful last year. He realizes that for us to go where we're trying to go ... he and his position are going to have to elevate their play. We snuck up on some folks a year ago, and that's not going to happen this year. |
That's what I've been preaching to them for the last eight years--that their job at the end of the day is not to gauge whether their actions are going to cause embarrassment or not, whether what we ask them to do is convenient, or consistent with safe decisions and smooth careers, |
That's why this New Diversity Initiatives office was created, to work with emerging student populations and this is one of those emerging student populations. But the idea behind it is to really make sure that we can support all of the students that go to Ohio State and come here. |
The $6 million rehabilitation project on the Simon Kenton Bridge was completed in August, 2004. Near completion of the project, additional deterioration was observed. It was more cost effective to advertise and let a new contract than to negotiate and modify the existing contract. |
The addition of the San Francisco Bay market will continue to boost Melton Franchise Systems annual billings, which were up over 20 percent this past year. We hope to keep on expanding, so we are able to become an even larger resource to those who want to start their own business. |
The arrests have stiffened our resolve. When an autocratic regime doesn't allow people even the freedom of expression, it means it has reached its limits and would be toppled. We, the plains people, would continue to support the agitation for the restoration of democracy in Nepal. |
The atmosphere for the Upper State championship game was so great. I thought it was a lot better than being at Timmons. And we'll be able to put a big crowd in there. We're proud of our basketball, and we want it to get bigger and bigger. That's gonna be good for the whole county. |
The bank that was running frame relay to connect branches has a plan to move to IP networks. Another thing is that a lot of networks aren't ready for [voice over IP]. That's also driving sales of networking gear. Cisco has a strong story there with its Integrated Services Routers. |

The best thing for everybody is that we go home and analyze as an organization what happened, where we went wrong and what needs to be done for the future. I'd like to leave my personal situation for a few days, and next week I can probably make a decision on what I'm going to do. |
