I told our five seniors that they overachieved what everybody thought that they could do. They have nothing to hang their heads about right there. Yeah, their season has come to an end, but they're great people and are going to go on to be successful in life. We told the underclassmen that now they have to step in. They owe these seniors for everything that the seniors gave them. |
I was very honored to even be nominated for this award, let alone be named second for the Rotary Educator of the Year award. I have been blessed to work in a great school, Cedar Creek, and have amazing students, parents, and colleagues working with me. I wish there were enough awards to go around for so many other educators. Our district is full of people deserving of this award. |
I went to the property and spoke to Marion Lent and viewed the circumstances, which were not up to expectations. At the time, she had let the puppies outside, so they were not in the small crate. She told me that since she had just moved, she needed to get her large kennels out of storage and set them up. I gave her a time limit to get things in order and told her I would return. |
I would hope above average. Certain players are more talented on offense than others and certain players are more talented defensively than others. But that being said, I think their commitment to (defense) is pretty good. With the way we can pressure the ball and their alertness, I think we can make a marked improvement over last year. We have to. I think everyone realizes that. |
I wouldn't totally correlate MBAs with business momentum and strategic thinking. Some engineers have very good business sense, and some corporate leaders don't even have advanced degrees. Having said that, there is something to be said for new thinking, strong decision-making and fresh ideas, particularly in organizations where corporate strategy and focus have become very staid. |
I'd take that game over any other. That was ideal for me. It was just the way you'd draw it up. We'd like to do that every game. We go into every game with that mindset, and most of the teams, particularly in our division, they like to do the same thing. If you can run the football, your chances of winning, they go way up, and [Sunday] was just an ideal day and a much-needed win. |
I'm doing the things I believe in, and that's important. It's not always an easy task in a changing environment. Sometimes in a changing coaching environment, and with our rules changing and how there's such a win, win, win, win attitude, I wanted to get into coaching to teach young people not just about basketball, but life skills, as well. I feel like I've been able to do that. |
I'm worried that students will take their obedient place in society and look to become successful cogs in the wheel - let the wheel spin them around as it wants without taking a look at what they're doing. I'm concerned that students not become passive acceptors of the official doctrine that's handed down to them from the White House, the media, textbooks, teachers and preachers. |
I've gotta say that I'm proud of those guys. We continue to tell you that we've got a tough road ahead of us, and we're just going to keep going at it day by day. We just keep battling. We know we've got some things to get in order. For us to be competing like this when we don't feel like we've got everything going for us -- it's been a tribute to the guys out there on the field. |
I've let in a lot of weird goals, ... Fluky ones, whatever you want to call it, but they're ones I don't normally let in. There are a lot more shots coming at the net and guys are just shooting it at the net because they have more time and pucks are going in off legs and feet and shoulders and heads, so you might have to play out a little further on the shot and hope it hits you. |
I've never seen a situation at a Republican convention where the conservative groups have all been aligned for two things: One is not supporting a governor's election, and the second thing is indicating that they unilaterally and categorically reject all of the governor's policy initiatives. This governor has gotten a free pass from conservatives for two years. The party is over. |
I've told our guys, let's just get to the midpoint of the season and stick our heads up out of the sand and take a look around, see where we're at, ... And if we're still in this thing, and Pittsburgh hasn't run away with the division, I won't be embarrassed at all to be in the playoff race or to be going into the playoffs at 8-8. Not one bit. We feel pretty good about ourselves. |
If dogs or cats burned up in a fire like this, you can bet there would be a thorough investigation. Chickens deserve equal consideration, and if Green Valley Poultry Farm ? or anyone else ? was responsible for the unimaginable suffering of these animals, then it becomes the responsibility of law enforcement officials to prosecute the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law. |
If it were as easy as telling parents to have their children eat healthier and exercise more, I don't believe as many children would be overweight. We need to think together about the multitude of factors that increase a child's risk of overweight, and then target them one by one… The complexity of all of these issues speaks to the complexity of addressing the obesity epidemic. |
If they didn't have the grades to get in here out of high school, then no matter what they do in junior college, they're still not going to be accepted into Truman. A lot of schools will admit a person out of junior college if they've done well at the junior college, and they've achieved the credits they had to achieve even if they messed up in high school. That's the difference. |
