I'm sure our members would be behind this. I wouldn't call it a sport or a game, because meetings are an important part of the dog breeding process. But I think it is an exciting event for spectators, because no matter how skilled the dog handler is, you never know what's going to happen when those five sheep come out of the pen. In front of the crowds, there's a lot of pressure, just like any other sport. |
I'm, supporting him for two main reasons. First, I'm a lifelong educator. I've been in the classroom and I've been an administrator. And within the last few years, I have been concerned about the trends in education. We have tried to prescribe to teachers, in an insulting way, what to teach and what to test. And we're reaping the whirlwind in that our schools are declining and our teachers are burning out. |
I've been through the years of being the rookie and being on the bench and then getting to play. And to be honest with you, now I'm as confident as ever. It's time for me to step up. It's time for me to be a leader. I can voice my opinion and try to push guys, but not really forceful. Just prove to them that I'm here to play, I want you guys to be ready to play and let's just go out and play hard baseball. |
If he feels he can help the team win, Curtis Martin is going to play. He's never going to put the team in jeopardy. That's always been the deal. That's always been our history. He's a unique guy. There was one week where he didn't practice all week and on Saturday I finally asked him, 'What do you think?' And he said, 'I'm good. I'm playing.' And he played well. He's a different guy. Special. He really is. |

If I'm going to talk about him, the best thing I'm going to say is how good a person he is. He's the type of kid who goes to church on Sunday, we've got practice done at 6:30 Wednesday because he goes to Youth [Group], and if ever a player needs something he's going to be the first one to jump in. In the classroom, he's a straight-A student. He's one of those kids everyone wants to have in their classroom. |
If the DHS insists, as bureaucracies are apt to do, that open-source must be certified via a sanctioned, formal process, it will interfere with the informal process of open-source itself. It seems to me the DHS is trying to turn an open-source development project into a Microsoft (or IBM or Oracle) software development project. And we know what that means: more, not fewer, errors -- security and otherwise. |

In Atlanta, the fifth guy was always a younger guy who would get skipped. It didn't provide that guy the consistency he needed. Here, the last two years you knew no matter who got the ball, you had a better than average chance to win a game. It made it a lot more fun sitting on the bench watching somebody else pitch. I think they felt the same way. We care about how each other does. There's no segregation. |
In one way yes, in other ways, no. Yes, because it was only three years and I did well. Still, it's only three years. So many years have passed. I would have thought it would have been broken by now. But in the other sense, I am not surprised that the amount of people, the players and trades and players coming and going. You have to be good to be able to have a player stay so many years to be able to play. |

Independent agents throughout the country sell Drive Insurance more often than any other brand and we're so glad we can now invite agents to offer it to their New Jersey customers. Independent agents sell a variety of companies' products, so they're able to put together insurance packages for their customers that feature the best-of-breed companies. For auto, that means a package featuring Drive Insurance. |

It always bodes well if you're winning. Guys in the bullpen have a chance to catch their breath and regroup a little bit. We went through that one stretch where we just couldn't catch up. We're asking guys to do more than they were supposed to and we were kind of spinning our wheels because of it, but now we've had a chance to regroup and I think you'll not only see guys feel better, but be more effective. |
It is challenging but the more positions you start to play and develop in as a player, the better you get and the more adaptable a player you can be to more teams. It always different when you play with your back to goal, as opposed to running at defenders. It is a challenge because for a long time you might not get the ball, but when you do, if you can put it in the back of the net, then you did your job. |
