Whenever you play Newport, you have to stay out of the big inning and just keep adding runs to the scoreboard.

Mobile technology is the way forward. The costs are not overwhelming and the benefits are substantial. When we looked at how much time it would save our engineers and how much we'd save in administration, travel and fuel bills, it was clear that the advantages greatly outweighed the costs.

We've made time savings of about 30% across the board, which has freed up some of my and my partners' time to go and look for other business and concentrate on forthcoming tenders and contracts. Many local authorities are looking at best value propositions, and with this type of technology improving each week we can move forward and, hopefully, offer more for a lower price than our competitors.

We've literally struggled throwing strikes. It's throwing strikes one night and errors another night. If we can get those two area straightened out, we'll be all right because we hit the ball very well.

When we raise tuition five or three dollars a credit or when books go up, for many of these students this is the difference between their being able to go to school and not go to school.

We definitely were a little down last year.

We will cut as much as we can, but some of it will clearly be on the back of students. And our students are in the worst position to take the hit.

We didn't play as well as we could have. I'm not disappointed though.

I'm beginning to not like playing these delayed games.

All we need is more time on the field. We swing the bats well. When we get the pitching and defense down, things will fall into place.

All the folks in the new administration are working as hard as they possibly can. They are not happy about any of this. This year, everybody understands what the scenario is. Obviously, it's going to be a very difficult couple of months for everyone funded by the state.
