ball beginning job kate positions strong
We're getting her the ball much better than we did at the beginning of the year. We're doing a better job at getting her the ball in positions where she is more able to score. Kate is a very strong low-post player. She's six-foot and solid.

certainly coleman freshman good john miles players powerful serve strong
We have two real strong players at No. 1 doubles. John Coleman is a freshman who is certainly a force. He's a powerful player. He has a serve over 100 miles an hour. I think they're going to be a good team.

We played some really good football in the first half. For the last 20 minutes, it was like the siege of the Alamo, but we defended really well.

It was a lot harder than that. That was a tough ball game. Some of our kids stepped up and hit some big free throws at the end.

The steps we took this past year strengthened our financial position. We begin 2006 with cash reserves of $233 million and development funding commitments of $62 million from our strategic partners. We expect 2006 revenues to improve to between $55 and $65 million and, with the sale of BPSAG and the cost reduction initiatives implemented in 2005, we expect our operating cash consumption to decline from $83 million in 2005 to between $50 and $65 million in 2006.

I'm very proud of them. I think I had to adjust to them and they had to adjust to me. This is no where near the same team we had at the beginning of the season.

Their pitcher had trouble finding the plate and we had timely hits there.
confine county couple month northern running wolves
If we've just got a couple of wolves running without an established territory, they could be here one month and in northern Leelanau County the next. There's nothing to confine them, especially without more wolves.
defense game patient trouble
I like the defense a lot. We were having trouble with their zone. They were patient on offense. It was just the kind of game that it was.
