Defensively, we stopped them on the goal line a couple of times and that was a good sign for us. Midway through the half and into the fourth we started to have some kids dropping out with leg cramps and I think that later in the season we might have been able to give Herrin a better game.

COENOBITE, n. A man who piously shuts himself up to meditate upon the sin of wickedness; and to keep it fresh in his mind joins a brotherhood of awful examples.O Coenobite, O coenobite, Monastical gregarian, You differ from the anchorite, That solitudinarian: With vollied prayers you wound Old Nick; With dropping shots he makes him sick. --Quincy Giles

Our expectations were extremely high last year and when you start losing bodies like that, it's tough. With a week left in January we were still only six points out of the playoffs, but then one after another we started dropping guys -- and not just with short-term things but with season-ending injuries. I think at one point we had 13 guys out of the lineup. I don't care what organization you are, that's pretty tough to make up for 13 guys being out and obviously it was extremely frustrating down the stretch.

Tennessee is dropping like a rock. It's looking like whichever team ends up with the higher seed (UNC or Tennessee) will end up in Greensboro with Duke.

Teams are coming in here dropping 30-some points on us in the first quarter. We've been digging ourselves in a hole, so I'll continue to work on finding the right formula to help get us off to better starts. Maybe I won't call timeouts as quick as I used to. We'll have to do something.

Term rates keep dropping and dropping and dropping; it's just amazing.

People tend to talk about the 3-4 and 4-3 like it's two totally different entities, and it's not, ... A defense is a defense, no matter if this guy has that gap and that guy has this gap. Somebody's an end, and somebody's a linebacker, regardless who you put in there. I'll be dropping and rushing, whether we're in a 3-4 defense or a 4-3. That's one thing that factored in my decision to come here. I'm going to get the opportunity to rush the passer, because that's what I love to do.

People start out loving their work when they're young, and then corporate America disappoints them. Their family is growing, and dropping the kids off at day care isn't satisfying them. Their priorities start to change.

By dropping the marquee pricing for the Cubs and Cardinals games, we are offering another incentive to Wisconsin residents to pack the park with Brewers fans on those days.

I knew it would be a special class for Coach Donovan and Florida. We looked at the type of character that he recruited for his team. As soon as they met each other on campus the first day, they hit it off very well. We sensed that as parents. By the second day of us dropping them off at school for good, we knew that they had a great chemistry for themselves.

I'm very proud that this group stayed focused for the entire non-conference schedule and did manage to go through it without dropping one. We had some very close games along the way, but we found a way to win those. Now it's time to step back out and see what we can do.

I'm really pleased with the way the kids are dropping times. We are right on pace heading into the conference meet.

In some sense that fear of not dropping the ball can really hurt you, in terms of not stretching and kind of going off in interesting new directions.

Noise is a real issue. This is kind of like putting a mini-convention center and dropping it in the middle of a residential area.

Sleepless nights. Other nights you wake up sweating because you're nervous and you don't know what's going to happen the next day. You can't control that stuff -- all you can control is what you do and how you perform. It's kind of inevitable that you're going to think about it. You see buddies getting cut and you see guys dropping like flies and you don't know for sure if it's you that's going to be next.

at Janarth Sakhar Shalas, state curriculum is followed in a full time school pattern to prevent children from dropping out and joining the labour force at 7-8 years of age.

Workers in turn also ask contractors for locations with school presence. The challenges are to secure state funding for the program and expansion of the infrastructure and curriculum to higher grades.

The ball just wasn't dropping for us tonight, and Poland wasn't hitting many shots either.

The ball was dropping the right places, I guess.

The air temperature dropping and the track cooling down helps. Also the air that runs through the engine is a lot cooler so it builds more power and more speed. There definitely was some advantage to going later. It's hard to really tell how much. We were 8th or 9th on the board during practice, and then qualified 3rd. So I think it helped some.

Everybody was pumped up the first week. We had lots of volunteers in the beginning. Now the sense of dropping everything to come help is not as great as at the beginning.

They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn before that. But then they got jacked up, and the balls just started dropping one after another. I wound up giving out 20 or 30 tickets. But it was worth it.

It will speed this farce up a bit. SCO was saying that because of the patent counterclaims, they needed discovery, more depositions. SCO has no money to pay damages or royalties due to dropping sales figures, so it doesn't matter to IBM to drop them.

I just started being more aggressive in the second half. The point guards were finding me and I was getting open shots. My shots started dropping and I was getting kind of hot.

I really have to pay attention to how I'm feeling these days. Dropping out is not something I want to do, but I really have to listen to what my feelings are.

In the past five games, we haven't been catching any breaks. The balls are just not dropping for us.

I have to pay attention to how I feel. These days it's important that I'm in touch with it right now and be serious about it and know how I'm skating and how I'm feeling. Dropping out is not something I want to do, but I have to listen to what my feelings are.

If you were to ask my players, they'd say no (a rematch), it wasn't on their minds, but I guarantee it was a thought. If you were to ask everybody in the audience - and it's not because they dislike St. Louis - but they wanted someone else to win, so they were probably cheering for us. We just looked like the rest of the teams out there. We tried to make a run at them, and we didn't do it. I'm just ... my brain is just going over everything, and I don't know what it was. There were just balls dropping that shouldn't have.

I didn't do what I wanted to last year, so I'm going to come back this year. I told all the younger guys to be like me. I'm trying to go the whole spring without dropping a pass. I've been successful for three days, so I've got 11 more days.

I didn't feel comfortable taking the things that people were dropping off, but the people at Crossroads insisted I did. They told me that people brought those things there just for me and that they wanted me to have them.

I don't know. I can answer that maybe when I get looking at the tape and see if his reads and stuff were right. But he was one of many at the beginning of the game who weren't playing well. Dropping passes and fumbling the ball, that type of thing. Guys get so many opportunities to prove themselves.

Gas prices in most areas began heading back up on Monday after dropping for about three weeks. Traditionally, Southern California has experienced gas price spikes during the spring, and oil industry analysts believe this could be the beginning of another one.

They've had a great camp to this point. As we re-evaluted our switch to the spread last year, we didn't do a good job running the ball. Teams were dropping eight guys and keeping just three up front.
