He?s very, very strong. He?s a great all-around player, but the most exciting thing is, he?s a sophomore. He had a great first year and he?s only going to get better. He?s going to enjoy the challenge at the higher level.
It was a game where we didn't shoot very well, but we were able to defend well enough to keep a comfortable lead.
Looking ahead at productivity assumptions, we realize that we must be very aggressive in pushing for improvements in manufacturing productivity. Part of the productivity formula includes serious preparation for larger wafer sizes.
I thought we played well considering the eight-day layoff. We really played well defensively against a well-rounded Pequot Lakes team. We were also able to beat their pressure and that was the difference.
The objective for the next generation is to make it more evolutionary. Three hundred millimeter was quite an abrupt change with many new standards. If we repeat that, we will have failed.
We?re lucky to have another solid player that will be able to compete at the top end of the ladder. I?m excited to see his improvement and change after having a year of varsity under his belt.
The semiconductor industry has few equals when it comes to resource conservation and minimizing its environmental impact. Through these and other activities, ISMI will continue to work in that tradition.
I was really proud of the girls and the effort they gave. Our goal coming into the tournament was to get to the finals and we were able to beat a very good team in the final. This is the type of game that really helps you come March.
We want to help make the wafer-size transition as efficient and cost-effective as possible, by involving a wide range of industry players-especially the equipment supplier community.
As the semiconductor industry struggles to maintain its profitability, energy conservation is a promising source of cost containment that also carries the important benefit of environmental protection. This is truly an important frontier that deserves further exploration.
