Peoria Christian was a good opponent for us. I was pleased with the way we responded after (Peoria Christian) pulled to within 2-1. Our defensive unit has really come together and we are now able to get a lot of people scoring for us.

Our goal is to use the regular season as a springboard and have our best product at the end. I'm pleased with our team chemistry. That's something we haven't always had.

I was hoping we would do a little better job of maintaining the ball. It was a little more discouraging in the sense that I thought we would be able to do some things instead of defending.

Research tells us that most Americans don't understand that antibiotics kill bacteria, not viruses. People go to their doctor and request antibiotics for themselves or a sick child, when it is not the appropriate course of treatment.

We live in a globalising world. That means that all of us, consciously or not, depend on each other. Whatever we do or refrain from doing affects the lives of people who live in places we'll never visit.

Capitalism proceeds through creative destruction. What is created is capitalism in a 'new and improved' form - and what is destroyed is self-sustaining capacity, livelihood and dignity of its innumerable and multiplied 'host organisms' into which all of us are drawn/seduced one way or another.
