Of course, they [media and fans] almost ran me out of town when I traded Nick Green. Nick did a great job for us at second last year. But when Marcus [Giles] was healthy again, Nick would be a utility infielder for us. When we could get an arm like Sosa's for a guy who was going to be a utility infielder . . . |
Of course, we want as high of a finish as possible. Nothing has changed that much. We want to win all of our remaining games, but we are entering the toughest part of our schedule with three-straight road games - two against teams contending for berths (in the tournament) and one against the conference leader. |
Officers did not have a chance to return fire. As soon as the bedroom door started opening, he started to raise the barrel of the gun. The door immediately slammed shut and as the officers backed out to get some cover, shots started ringing out. They never had a chance to stop the threat and shoot the suspect. |
Often, we don't realize we miss infectious diseases until we have invasive species that become pests without their natural enemies. Parasites act like thermostats - when a species becomes abundant it is more susceptible to infectious diseases. The disease acts like a safety valve, keeping populations in check. |
Oh, I love bios! I wouldn't say traditionally it was a "concept album." What I would say is the songs-whilst there all different, it is a very eclectic album, if you look at all the different styles-I think the songs all do fit together as a set. It's probably the most complete album we've made for many years. |
Om Asato maa sad-gamaya; tamaso maa jyotir-ga-maya; mrtyor-maa amrutam gamaya. Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih. O Lord Lead me from the unreal to the real. Lead me from the darkness to light. Lead me from death to immortality. May there be peace, peace, and perfect peace. |
On a team like this, I can be satisfied with that role. This team is capable of a lot of good things and they need a guy like that. It takes pressure off the starters if they're having a tough day and those late-inning relievers don't need to be in earlier. I'm hoping that I can be the glue between the cracks. |
On paper, no question, we're a better team. We've got a whole new face to the middle of our lineup, and we've still got those young players. That's reason for optimism. At the same time, we've got to start turning the young talent into wins. You can't keep coming into every new season talking about young guys. |
On top of her own performances, she has never put herself above the team as she is a constant supporter of all her teammates and strives to assist in anyway possible for the best in team results. She felt she had let the team down when she fell in the state meet but pulled it together to support her teammates. |
Once (travelers have) gone private aviation, they can't go back. The convenience, the sense of security, the time.... I'm in the business of selling time, and these are time machines. Time is the ultimate commodity that all of us treasure, and to the folks that have the means this represents a very real value. |

One of the first places that they flew me to after the hurricane was San Antonio. I was separated from my wife, and I was looking for her. It just so happened that my stepson and my grandson were in the same place getting their medicine. And they were looking for me and told me that my wife was in Plano, safe. |
One of the most common questions I am asked is whether insurance or Medicare will pay for weight loss surgery. The new Medicare coverage decision is a very positive development for those affected by obesity, since private insurers often look to government policy when establishing their own coverage guidelines. |
One of the most exciting matches of the night was freshman Isaac Meyer's. It was a classic come-from-behind tangle, where you could see Isaac hanging in there, wearing out his opponent, then finally capitalizing at the close of the match. It's the payoff for the grueling work that goes on in the practice room. |
One of the questions that people asked right after the first discoveries was: Are these exotic materials? Is the physics exotic--is the explanation going to be something that is completely unexpected? Now it is generally acknowledged that yes, these are very exotic materials, and we just don't understand them. |
