We?re just trying to scrap out a win every time out. In this league there?s Hartford and then there?s the rest.

We?re an improved team and we wanted to show that. Binghamton?s a good team, and to hold them to 49 points was a great night for us.

We've seen a nine percent decrease in pediatric patients that are uninsured or underinsured in the emergency department.

There is no doubt in my mind that Ray would be the top player in the conference if she were healthy. But she?s giving us great minutes when she?s out there.

She has a big load on her shoulders. But I think she's doing a tremendous job trying to keep us together. She has stepped up on that floor and off that floor as a leader. She's a critical part of us putting the pieces of the puzzle back together.

Obviously, rebounding was a major issue. That possession where they got three or four (offensive) boards pretty much summed up the game.

Our goal is we want a healthy community, and to have a healthy community, you have to have the right avenues for care and that's what a lot of this is about.

I think Ray decided we were not going to lose today. She was real dominant and she can do that if we get her the ball in the right place.

We needed this game. And we stepped up and got this win.

We got off to a great start, then hit a tough period. Now hopefully we?re coming out of it. I?m pleased by the way the kids have handled the adversity.

We want to do what's right for the community. What we support and collaborate on, it's for the betterment of the health of the community.

Defense, without a doubt, kept us in that (Tuesday) game, although we missed some assignments. But they didn't quit. We're a young team. We've got only one senior. We're going to keep on. I'm not going to give up on them. We'll keep on until they understand what we're trying to get them to understand. Once they understand, we'll be OK.

They played their hearts out. I guess they just got tired of losing. They were a little more focused, blocked out more, hustled harder and played better defense. I think everything is kind of sinking in what they're supposed to do. They're getting more experienced each game, and it's paying off.

They?re a very tall team. It always takes us five to eight minutes to figure out how we need to shot-fake inside.

It seems like we can?t get our offense and defense on the same page right now. We just need to be more consistent on both sides of the ball.

(Chatman) works well at either position. Sometimes she has to get the guard rest. Jennifer is doing a good job. She's looking to complement her players. She's looking to create shots for other people. When she sees the shot, she'll take it. But she's not looking to score. She's getting there, but she's still young.

Naming an emotion begins the process of regulating it and reflecting on it.

In insecure relationships, we disguise our vulnerabilities so our partner never really sees us.

When love doesn't work, we hurt. Indeed, “hurt feelings” is a precisely accurate phrase, according to psychologist Naomi Eisenberger of the University of California. Her brain imaging studies show that rejection and exclusion trigger the same circuits in the same part of the brain, the anterior cingulate, as physical pain.

Being the “best you can be” is really only possible when you are deeply connected to another. Splendid isolation is for planets, not people.

The most functional way to regulate difficult emotions in love relationships is to share them.

Love has an immense ability to help heal the devastating wounds that life sometimes deals us. Love also enhances our sense of connection to the larger world. Loving responsiveness is the foundation of a truly compassionate, civilized society.
