Contrary to popular belief, I don't spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I've learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that's what kids are playing. That's what people are talking about.

The bulk of the universities are about teaching kids.

India just went 3 years with no cases [of polio]. Pakistan is our toughest location right now because some parts of the Taliban have not allowed vaccinators to come in and have even attacked vaccinators. We are hopeful this will get resolved since no one wants their kid to be paralyzed. I spend a lot of time making sure the polio campaign is doing the best it can. We have great computer models that help guide our activities.

We're really a young team, so I want the kids to see a broader range of ability. It's good to get out of the area and see what else is going on.

We're real honest with parents. Sometimes we'll offer kids a partial scholarship and the parent will say, 'I've got to have a full.' That's fine, that's just being honest. But if we don't have a full we can't do it.

We're ready to play that game tomorrow. The kids are excited about that opportunity Monday night.

We're racing against BMW, Mazda and Acura teams with years of experience with their products. We're the new kids on the block and although we know we're not going to dominate anything, we're happy to know we can win our share.

We're quite unpredictable. I think the kids understand that. We go five possessions where we look really good, and then we go five where the kids on the bench go, 'What was that?' We're still getting there. We're not there yet.

We're quite pleased with most of the areas that the kids tested in. We made our goals that we set at the beginning of (last) year. Each teacher has to set a goal for each one of their students for improvement, and most of them were satisfied with how they did.

With the rise of software patents, engineers coding new stuff - whether within a large software company or as kids writing smartphone apps - are exposed to a claim that somewhere a prior patent is being infringed.
