Steve Swanson Quotations

I was pleased with our effort tonight, especially in the second half. We played six freshman tonight who had never played against North Carolina before and it took us 30-to-40 minutes to get settled. Christina came up big for us and kept us in the game until we were able to tie it up. After that, it was anyone's game.

She has really had a remarkable impact on the team and certainly a remarkable impact on the league. The big thing she added to our team was her ability to break defenders down and break defenses down by herself.

She's making better decisions on the field. I think she's been doing a great job on the defensive side of things. I'm excited to see her progress.

She's very dangerous, very creative in her decisions on the field. We need her to do that. That's her role for us.

Having Tim join our team will allow us to apply our automated technology to the options business and become that single-source destination ... our partners are looking for.

Going into your first year, I think to have that stability at home is quite a factor. She's got an awfully close, tight-knit family. They support one another in whatever they do, and I think that's helped Kelly as a player.

I think Jess is one of the few people that you can say if she keeps growing and if she keeps improving, she can go as far as she wants to with the game.

Timber values across Canada on average are 70 percent less than the comparable values in the free market economy that exists in the United States.

We are interested in the volume ? we need the wood.

Most everything was booked about two months ago.

We plan to use our players. I think we've got some excellent players right on through our team. Even players that didn't play tonight, they're going to be involved.

Until Canada ends its unfair practices, the U.S. lumber industry will never stop insisting that action be taken under U.S. trade laws to fully offset the subsidies and dumping.

The United States has the most efficient sawmills in North America but we cannot, and should not, be expected to compete with companies that are getting up to a 75 percent discount on the single largest cost component in producing lumber.

We're disappointed. It's not good enough for us to come here and lose in overtime, but they're a great team.

This new determination should put to rest any questions about whether duties are justified in this case.

I'm sure they talk a lot. I'm sure it's a lot about soccer, but I'm also sure a lot of it's not. It's about life and how they're enjoying their different experiences and things like that.

If left unchecked these are the kind of crimes that could really hurt someone.

I'm gratified that that the F.B.I. has been diligent in their pursuit of these people.

The ball is kind of Velcro-ed to her foot whether she's going 90 mph or 10 mph. The one thing about Jess that's so unusual is she can create things on her own. She's unusual because you don't really see somebody who is able to slice, dice and dash and take players apart individually.

Every U.S. administration since President Reagan has consistently found that the Canadian lumber industry has benefited from enormous subsidies. We will not stand for this absurd and unjust result from panelists acting outside our constitutional system of accountability.

It's very hard to consistently maintain your place on the national teams. I think it's a credit to Jess and her coaches that she's been a part of the national teams for the better part of four years.

It was good to get the Scots on the court. And the win was important to maintain our momentum despite losing key players.

I guess there are some things in life where you may never hear an explanation. It's like the guy who hides his secret for Coca-Cola. He just won't share it.

If you ripped open her chest you'd see an awfully big heart. She's got an amazing engine and is one of the hardest workers already.

Canadian lumber producers have a long way to go to stand on their own feet.

The NAFTA panel decision issued today is gravely flawed, and signifies a potential end to an important antidote in the U.S. lumber industry's efforts to counter the poison that is Canadian lumber industry practices. The U.S. Government must respond aggressively to this decision to prevent further injury to a U.S. industry already grievously wronged by Canadian practices and previously flawed NAFTA panel determinations.

This latest victory once again confirms what every objective observer knows. Canadian lumber is heavily and unfairly subsidized and dumped into the U.S. market.

All these guys have played a lot of soccer with a lot of different players. They've played on regional teams, club teams, national teams, so I think almost everywhere we go, inevitably there's players that know one another.

The Constitution does not permit these panels to be the final arbiter of whether U.S. law provides for relief from unfair subsidies and dumping for U.S. producers and workers.
