The only people that didn't like Ryan were only people who hadn't met him yet.

Obviously there is a problem there that is not going to be easy to turn around.

For State, we have some very high seeds and hopefully they can contend for the win.

I thought we had a great meet. Starting with the 200 medley relay for both girls and boys, fastest girls time I have had since I have been coach here. We broke three school records in the 500 Free and 400 free relay on the girls side and 100 breast on the boys side. I always want more, but I thought we did a great job of competing.

I think we had a nice meet. The kids swam well at different times during the meet. We just weren't as consistent as I had hoped. To get there was a great accomplishment for these kids and hopefully we can get more next year.

Nothing's changed in the outlook, and we see compelling valuation in it compared to Leighton.

If you look through history there has been some success in this and there's been some failures. It's very difficult.

He would take derelicts on to work for him.

The difference between full control and 80 per cent is the ability to integrate the businesses and not being able to integrate the businesses takes away some of those $55 million in synergies (cost savings).
