In the end we went to the railroad station, as he suddenly decided he would have to go. We were just in time to see the last lights of the train disappearing. Once again Hoffmann left the house too late, and so I couldn't even say good-by to him. Perhaps I am taking too dark a view, I hope I am, but he is not coming again for another two weeks. |
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; / In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. |
In the fourth quarter, we were able to really establish Pat down low, which gave Ryan a couple of good looks. Ryan is a good shooter and has been hot for us all season, and he put a couple of daggers in them with those two 3s. The seniors all got extensive minutes and made positive contributions, and that's what you like to see on Senior Night. |
In the longer run, we need to have our assistance structured in a way that will give us even broader flexibility. The president and his advisers must be able to devise a program that can allocate money as needed among whatever agencies have the skill sets to deliver the capabilities, whether State, Defense, Justice or other government agencies. |
In the sense that mainstream culture is moving toward our end of culture, that may be the case. The Kimmel Center may call us [about a performer]. What we love and what we present does not change. We're still looking for garage bands in Prague. We're looking for wacky [stuff] all over the world. The only difference is now I can stay in a hotel. |
In the stages of growing and developing that teamwork and trust for each other on the defensive end of the floor, you have to help them believe that you're going to get there. It's not just the (wins). They can see the results in different possessions. And as they gain confidence possession by possession, they see themselves beating good teams. |
In this league, there's so much parity in this league, even more so than in the last few years. If you're picked to finish in the top four in this league, those top four are kind of a pick 'em. I don't put too much weight into them. We don't talk about it much. It's waste of breath. You can't change what people think of you until you play them. |
Is there a risk the Fed has tightened too much? Not with the kind of momentum we're seeing in the economy and not with consumer confidence at record highs. People are wealthier, real incomes are growing, the housing market, while slower, is still super strong and the labor market is still super tight. I don't think the Fed is finished just yet. |
Is this just a blip on the radar? I think it could be, ... The economy seems to be snapping back. The third-quarter GDP number was a blowout number. I don't think it will be that great in the fourth quarter, but consumer spending will hold through the holidays. Also, retailers will be benefiting from easier comparisons in November and December. |
Isn't that amazing? From time to time it is important to re-emphasize to our players that we can handle any form of adversity there is, as long as we remain together and we move forward together. We went from a six-win season to an 11-win season ... This disappointment is going to stay with me for a long time. But we will use it as a motivator. |
Israel has been willing to work with the Jordanian-Egyptian initiative to bring the current round of Palestinian violence against Israeli civilians to an end. Unfortunately, this morning we have seen the response from the Palestinian side to the Jordanian-Egyptian initiative. The murder of an innocent Israeli civilian by Palestinian terrorists, |
It cost us a very good football player. But Kerry brings a different element that will complement what we have here. In Ottawa he did a lot on his own and with the talent we have here we think he'll be a great fit for us. He's only played the position for three years since college so I see a lot of [upside] in him and that was the thing for us. |
It has definitely been a stepping stone kind of season for us. We only lose one senior in Charity and we'll have everyone else back next season. That kind of stability is what the program needed most. We were real jittery in the early part of this game, but now we have a taste of it. Next time, we'll know what it's like and know what to expect. |
It has very steady results. They are one of the leaders in software for engineering simulation where an engineering designs a product, wants to see when they actually go to prototype if it is going to work. They have very consistent results and I actually think when they report their quarter in the next week or two, it'll be an upside surprise. |
