I don't know where we were defensively. I don't think we've given up 75 points to anyone all year. I think the girls were a little bit nervous and shell-shocked. They were prepared to defend everything we saw tonight, but I was disappointed with our defensive intensity and our offensive execution.

Jeff is aware of that and, I think, is prepared to play and do whatever it takes to help this team.

I couldn't have scripted the (T-Town) game any better to get us prepared for the game (tonight). The kids needed to see first hand how poorly they could play in the postseason. If we don't go out and play to our strengths, against big physical teams, were mediocre at best.

Frankly I believe that there's too little funding for intelligence, we have too few assets and too few analysts. And I think if the Congress and others are going to demand a greater capacity in intelligence we're going to have to be prepared to pay for a more sophisticated and a more intense structure of intelligence capabilities, and I think its wrong for some members of Congress to vote to cut intelligence spending, to vote to cut the number of intelligence analysts and then to set unrealistically high demands on the intelligence community.

Frank has got a shock from our witness statements. He feels it's better if they are cross-examined - but he should be prepared for the truth to come out.

From a cyclical perspective, I'm not prepared to worry about inflation. There's no clear pattern of acceleration.
