E. B. White Last Quotations

She's always been an incredible shooter, but the last two years she has become a very strong defender. She is not a one-dimensional player by any means. When she is making baskets like (she did this week), it changes the whole flow of the game.

If, in fact, Christen is not playing this week, then everybody is going to have to step it up a notch and I know they'll do that. Last week we had a terrible week of practice and I think that was shown on (last Friday against Central Crossing, which hadn't scored since the second quarter of its opener and dropped to 0-4). Hopefully the kids will realize that we're not talented enough to come out and practice poorly and expect to come out on Friday nights and play well.

(Lamar) drilled us at our house last year and we challenged our players to put out a great effort tonight. We didn't look pretty but we made the play we had to make at the end to win the game.

I think Brian learned a valuable lesson last week. He was frustrated and I told him, 'They're going to make us beat them by throwing the football, so you need to take that as a compliment.' That doesn't mean you surrender. You keep playing because it's going to be a game where you earn every one of your yards. Games like this are games of persistence, games of trusting yourself, and knowing it's not going to look pretty all the time, but you have to keep banging away.

It is not at all surprising that with the clumsy handling of the Yukos situation we started to see production falls last October. But now as things are getting back to normal we may see a production recovery back on track.

I was a little nervous going in, because it was my last time starting the season like this. But once I got out there, I felt real good.

Refiners are exhausted, like runners in midmarathon. They've been pushing very hard since last year. As a practical matter, these things have limits. If you push too hard, capacity drops.

That's been one of the knocks on me, ... that people think I'm not strong. So that's one of the things I want to work on in my last year.

I was really nervous. I couldn't handle it being my last meet. Before my last race, I was in the warm up pool and my pace work was all off, I couldn't hit the times my coach wanted me to hit. It was just overwhelming.

Might I suggest that you keep the following handy for cut and paste jobs later in the series? ...is run out by Kallis. Kallis plays out another maiden. Kallis steals the strike from the last ball of the over.

We just did some things that we didn't take care of last time we played them. We picked up our defense.

You know, considering all the adversity we had to go through and the fact we didn't get to play a home game until last week, I feel pretty good about this. I guess we're getting hot at the right time.

The experience that we have just playing in the last two games is probably going to help us out a lot. And the game plan Coach Carroll prepares is going to be awesome.

We have been looking forward to this day. The talent in the AFL has improved dramatically from my first years in the league where now teams are deep enough that they can't protect everyone. On top of that, the free-agent market is loaded with players that have solid arena experience. We just held our first open tryout last month and hosted over 200 quality players. This is going to be fun, starting from scratch and building a competitive team.

We finished 9-12 last season and I told them if I am going to continue this, I need everyone's commitment this summer.

We just played bigger people the last two games. We're not going to play 6-10, 6-10, 6-10, 6-10, 6-10 Thursday. I think we should be all right.

We are very pleased to sponsor this program; a follow up to our highly successful conference last April. We believe that the time has come to inform and educate the county on the power and influence of this little known and underreported dimension of the Religious Far Right,

Even if there's no damage, it's going to take at least two weeks for refineries to come back. It's at least as serious as Hurricane Ivan, which we had last year. And it took six months to get production back to normal in that case.

The results frankly were a shock. We can see human fingerprints all over atmospheric methane emissions for at least the last 2,000 years. Humans have been an integral part of Earth's carbon cycle for much longer than we thought.

Despite the depth problem, I like this team's chances of being competitive in a very tough conference. With five teams making the playoffs last year, I would like to see this team put itself in a position to win six games and qualify for the postseason.

There's been a lot of progress between me and Mike. When I came in last year, he didn't know how fast I was and I didn't know how far he could throw it.

It's not uncommon for a complex investigation to last six to 18 months.

It's one of those things where you know the team is better than the way we've played. We see it from time to time. Trouble is, our bad stretches last a little longer, which comes from us having a younger team. We haven't been able to figure out how to kick ourselves in the behind and bounce back faster.

It's unbelievable. Last year it was on the hooter, this year it's with four minutes to go. You have to give credit to the All Blacks, that's probably why they're the best team in the world. They just kept coming at us.

The last three generations of our family, there hasn't been one natural death. There were eight of us children, born in the Ozark mountains. Today there only remain my mother, my sister and myself. The rest all died in various accidents. So you see my fate will get me sooner or later.

I know we can win this meet. The coaches say they have a really good squad this year, a little bit stronger than last year. But I feel like we still have more depth, and we're going to do well at this meet. We're going to win.

I'm quite conscious that the last four games have been at home, so to go away is another big test.

If you think about what's really driven the drive in equity markets over the last couple of years, it's been those low interest rates. What's brought all the money in has been that we took short-term interest rates back from over 6 percent (several years ago) to 3 percent.

The last three or four years were a builder's dream.
