amount certain difficult mention money people raise raised
I would be hard-pressed to say it's not going to be more difficult to raise money after all the money raised for Katrina, not to mention the tsunami. People only have a certain amount of money to give to charity. When it's gone, they don't have more to give.
amount confident defensive good holding low points surprised teams
They are a very good defensive team. I wouldn't be surprised to see a man-to-man. If they've been holding teams to that low amount of points every game, then they're probably pretty confident and they'll come out and try it.
adverse amount cheap damage economies hostility possibly raises response scale
It's very cheap and the economies of scale are very good, but the hostility it raises and the damage it can do could have an adverse effect. It outweighs the amount of response that you could possibly get.
spread
We spread things around pretty good, especially in the first quarter.
clear deals education government group health legal oblige provide treaties
Legal deals were struck. It's pretty clear the treaties as a group oblige the U.S. government to provide services, especially when it comes to things like education and health care.
assault entire industry liquor
I see it as an assault on the entire liquor industry by neo-prohibitionists.

I saw those ads, I felt a little uneasy. I understood it was tongue in cheek. But it's still not necessarily in the best interest.
apply ball defense force great guards guy help inside job mike patient percent shooting side
Our guards did a great job of getting the ball to Mike at the beginning, which is what you want to do with a guy shooting 56 percent from the field. But then Mt. Carmel started to apply more defense to the help side and we started to force it inside and weren't patient enough.
came court early four points rushed spirits time
Our spirits just got down early tonight. Every time we came back down the court offensively after they scored, we thought we had to make four points and just rushed things.
ball basket cold guys inside open played problem taking zone
We wanted to go at them, but if we were open on the outside, I had no problem with us taking the 3. But we were cold outside, and our big guys went away from the basket when they got the ball inside (against Hale's 2-3 zone defense). We just played scared.
defensive felt frustrated giving perspective
We were getting frustrated offensively, and it felt to us from a coach's perspective that we were giving in on the defensive end.
challenged giving guys halftime open sluggish
We were sluggish the first half, especially defensively. We were giving them too many open looks. We challenged the guys at halftime to play harder, and we did play with better energy.
affects casualties comrades concerned grateful health hear welfare whenever
We have not had any casualties this month, and we're grateful for that. But all guardsmen are concerned for the health and welfare of our comrades in Iraq, especially guardsmen from other states. Whenever we hear of casualties, it affects us.
advise area clearing feet fires folks leave means stay
When folks do have fires in the evening, we do advise them to stay with their fires and have a means of extinguishing it. They should also leave 10 feet of clearing area around the fire.
