optimistic three levels
I always remain optimistic. There are three levels of music production: the majors, indies, and what I call "inties," music distributed via the Internet. The Internet is one area that I have used pretty effectively to break free of corporate control.
bell bigger level ralph
This will probably be on the same level - if not bigger - than the Ralph Bell crusade.
confidence level sky taking team
His confidence level is sky high. It was that way going into the game. He's taking this team over and he's so much more relaxed.
belt california excellence highest level model rate safety saving state
California is really a model of excellence in safety belt use. It has the highest belt use rate in this country. In fact, they are the first state to have an international level belt use at 88.9 percent. They are really saving some of the high-risk drivers, such as teen-agers.
against athletes compete competition given level means monitor number ok open schools sports student summer
Given the level of competition that we're on, the schools we compete against and the number of sports that we're in, our student athletes are going year-round. So, open summer participation just means that these student athletes are just that much busier. But that's OK as long as there's some control, some limitations on it. We try to monitor it a little bit.
happy head impressed seniors showing step
I thought we had some seniors really step up and I was really impressed with Kent McCrimmon. To come back after having 10 stitches in his head from a collision in practice, that's showing a lot of heart. I'm very happy with this win.

I think we got out of the gate smart. The effort and the heart was there, but we were doing things that put us in a deficit.
allowed hump played win
I think we played well enough to win the game. Without sounding - now how do I say this - like I think something was done to us, I think we weren't allowed to get over the hump tonight.
defensive growth pendulum swinging toward
I think it's the pendulum swinging back toward growth from defensive stocks.
deer last month pick telling
I think this is ridiculous. It's their responsibility. Last month they told us if we called immediately they would pick up the deer and now they're telling our residents it was only a courtesy.
energy gain higher push renewable steadily
I think we are going to see the push for renewable energy gain a steadily higher profile.
relaxed
I think that's why I was really relaxed at the plate,
competition either growth light market robust therefore yellow
It is a yellow light that either it's competition, therefore pricing, or that market growth is not as robust as it had been.
hope situation slips
I think there will be guys, and you hope one of them slips to us but you don't want to get into a situation where you try to manufacture something. I've been through that and it's not the way you want to go.
