It's like having open practices in a lot of different communities.

That's the coach's decision. I'm not the coach. I'm not the GM, ... . . . If that's his excuse for missing practices - to blame me - then I'm strong enough to take the responsibility.

That's the coach's decision. I'm not the coach. I'm not the GM. . . . If that's his excuse for missing practices - to blame me - then I'm strong enough to take the responsibility.

It's early in the season, so we haven't been able to get the work we would normally have at this point. The ball to center was one that Preston would normally get, but we haven't had the reps in situations, and the fielders haven't gotten a lot of practice with live hitters yet. That will change as we get more practices and games under our belts.

It's a weird situation. I'm coming in here in such a short time. It takes a couple practices to get your timing down. I got my start on it today. You could tell I was rusty. But I don't mind getting thrown in there. It's not too hard being a punter. It's not like I have to learn plays.

It was a tremendous win for our kids and it's always a big deal around here when we beat Jasper. The kids are so excited about getting things started with a win. They're not really getting the big head about it either. We've had a good couple practices the last two days. This group is not hard to refocus.

With this Panel, Wal-Mart is moving in the right direction to achieve a broader positive impact for their workforce.

He already accepted responsibility for management failures in the Secretariat. He also notes that the latest report confirms the committee's earlier finding that the respective roles and responsibilities of the Secretariat, the Security Council and the 661 Committee -- which approved all of the contracts, including the prices -- were never clearly enough defined, ...

He brings a little something into the room to make the hard practices more enjoyable. I guess you could say he has a dry sense of humor.

I really like our attitude. We're going every morning at 6 a.m. Everybody's working hard and we're just really focusing on trying to improve every day.

The Master Settlement Agreement placed significant restrictions on the advertising and marketing practices of the tobacco companies, and also provided funding for an effective anti-smoking public education campaign targeted directly at youth.

The medical protocols employed by our teams have traditionally been left t o the best practices of team physicians.
