Can you teach a guy to have soft hands or can you teach somebody to be Jack Wilson or Jose Castillo? I think that's a little difficult. But can you teach somebody the sense of awareness to help them be better prepared for defensive plays that may come your way? Yes, you can. You can do that by being in tune with what's going on around you. |
Carl is a good complement to that. Both are two of the more athletic players we have on the team. They have no glaring weaknesses that you can just pick on. Neither one is afraid to hit an overhead, and neither is afraid to go after a volley. That's what makes them a good No. 2 doubles team. They don't sit back and lob. They get after you. |
Casey's the prototype nose tackle in the 3-4. He's got great balance, he's very powerful and he can move. He's down to the same weight he was when he was a rookie and that's good for him. This guy has recognition, not just for sacks. When people watch him play, they recognize how important he is to our defense, and what he allows us to do. |
Certain movie genres are more about the marketing. The influence that a review has on a movie depends on the type and who the target audience is. While [positive] reviews for certain genres don't affect the box office, a negative review might. Studios weigh the risk versus reward and in some cases are willing to just let the public decide. |
Certainly, to have three catchers at the upper end of the depth chart and under our control for a few years, that's something that can help us win right now. But it also can be an asset if you want to make a trade, as we've seen with our left-handed pitching. I don't know where our catching depth ranks in baseball, but we're happy with it. |
Clearly, he understands now the tremendous challenges we face and how much we are counting on FEMA and the resources of our nation, ... The president, by his statements today, is demonstrating the leadership and accountability needed to get the inadequate federal response to this crisis behind us and move forward with rebuilding Louisiana. |
Coming off facing some of the best teams and best pitchers last weekend in Palm Springs, I told the team this weekend was pivotal. Those first weekends were a part of our growth and now we need to be in full swing and show who we are this time. I'm so proud of our kids that we stayed tough tonight. Alabama doesn't lose much on their field. |
Companies of all sizes as well as consumers in Baltimore now can conduct business faster than ever before with the same UPS convenience and reliability they have come to expect. And the enhancements work in both directions because our customers will benefit from this network upgrade when they receive packages coming into Baltimore as well. |
Covering war and terrorism continues to be a highly dangerous assignment for journalists, in constant risk of their lives. Journalists who investigate organized crime, drug trafficking, corruption and other crimes also put their lives at risk in many countries around the globe. In most cases, nobody is brought to justice for their murders. |
Cruise ships provided over two million meals, plus housing for over 8,000 hurricane victims, first responders, and representatives from eighteen federal and state agencies. Carnival Cruise Lines, Captain Angelo Los, and the staff of both the Ecstasy and the Sensation have been tremendous partners with FEMA throughout this recovery process. |
Customers transferring over to us would have to take one of our price plans, and those are different, ... It's unlikely that any carrier involved will offer the same price points and service plans WorldCom originally offered. WorldCom, after all, was competing with us. Basic structure might be the same, but some elements will be different. |
Defensively, I thought (Amherst) did great job against us the entire game. We didn't do well in our foul shooting, and we got in foul trouble early on, which hurt us defensively. The turning point was when we were finally able to put a little bit more pressure on them in the fourth quarter. But, overall, what an exciting way to end a game. |
Different populations can be declining for a number of reasons, including habitat loss, but populations in one place might be declining for entirely different reasons than populations in another place, ... Until we know where specific individuals spend the summer and winter, we cannot properly address the causes of the population declines. |

During Apollo, there was no incentive to make things less expensive, only to win and beat the Soviet Union, ... That same philosophy that allowed us to win the space race slowed us down after the space race. The same people were in charge, the same philosophy was there. There was no incentive to make it economical or commercially feasible. |
