Where do we go from here? I think it's important that everybody's responsible for what they can do to make this better. I certainly will be, in terms of my part of it. What we're focused on is how we improve as a team, how we learn from the experience that we had here to day, and how we stay together as a team. |
While I play against some of the strongest athletes in the NFL, I know that off the field, the toughest players are the thousands of hospitalized children who are fighting for their lives each day. That's why I've made this commitment and why I'm asking everyone to join me in making a difference for these kids. |
While not driving our listing decision, the Service appreciates the many conservation efforts conducted by our partners. Our decision was based primarily on the present-day status and trend of Yellowstone cutthroat trout populations and the mitigation of many of the existing factors that can affect the species. |
Wildlife populations can act as buffers against the spread of disease as well as sources for its emergence. Through providing a better understanding of how pathogens move among species, the field of Conservation Medicine gives us the tools we need to maintain healthy ecosystems that protect people and wildlife. |
Willie's like a big brother to me. I came to him and I said I really wanted to be his understudy, learn the ins and outs of not just the game, but life outside the game, handling yourself off the field, handling your finances and then just handling yourself as a person and he's doing a great job of teaching me. |
With a $20 bill you'll walk away with a buggy full of items for your home. This year's Yard Sale takes on special importance following Hurricane Katrina. Residents will be able to get back some of the items lost in the storm for a great price. Our best sellers every year are our kitchen items and potted plants. |
With all the surpluses, we should have at least $350 million in tax relief. The Legislature has passed a state employee pay raise already, they've passed an English-learner bill three times. Before they spend any more, they should pass tax relief and show the taxpayers that they also rank in the top priorities. |
With Lee going down, it's going to require Walter and David to step up and I feel like they are going to be able to do it. It's all about staying together and fighting through things together. We're going through some adversity, but I feel like it's a good time for us to come closer. We've got to stay together. |
Words cannot describe what we felt in terms of the support we received the night after Mike's passing, ... A number of people made a special effort to be there that night and express their deepest sympathy. The outpouring of cards, e-mails, and phone calls received here and in his hometown have been incredible. |
Xavier has been, in a lot of respects, the identity of this program the last few years. It's almost like he adds prestige to the team. In a lot of ways, he's helped raise the level of the other kids. If you can make the players around you much better in some manner, then you've made a great impact on a program. |
Yeah, by the seventh game things started getting real crazy. I was getting double-teamed, triple-teamed, sometimes even four people. But it opened doors for a lot of other people on our defense because they were keying on me. And our defense did really well in the last three games, so that's a good deal for us. |
Yeah, he deserves [more playing time]. We're going to split it up with him and J.T., and some of it depends on how they're swinging the bat -- that's the way the game is. That's the way it's supposed to be. But he's going to definitely play a lot [because] he deserves it, and I think he'll be able to handle it. |
Yesterday, I think he was more than just fighting himself mentally, he felt really good in the bullpen. He's still coming back. You sometimes take a step back and two steps forward. I think we'll keep his pitch count down the first month and then round them up a little after that. I think he's going to be fine. |
You always get chances (to score) against a good team, and the difference is that they were finishing their chances at a much higher rate than we were. Regardless of how they scored their first goal, (they had) chances before that to get on the board. That's something we're waiting to see our team put together. |
You can't teach tolerance with a zero-tolerance policy. It's no big deal to be tolerant of people who are nice to you. The challenge is to tolerate people who aren't so nice. On top of that, 'zero tolerance for aggression' is a logical absurdity, because it ultimately requires that we use aggression to stop it. |
