It was a long week for us, a long week for Scottville.

People don't understand what a tournament does. The kids never were afraid. They never thought they were going to lose. They've been there, they don't panic and it's showing in these closer games.

The girls played really well, and scored the first goal within the first five minutes, and that let us settle down and play our game. The level of game never slowed down, and finishing it was a big deal.

I think this is a turning point for us, for the new Chase in our private equity business, in us being positioned to benefit from the new economy. The magnitude of the number has something to do with the fact that we have increased the pace of investments, and the markets are as good as they are.

Instead of following through on their promise to concentrate on jobs, Republicans have attacked seniors, working families, women, and the most vulnerable among us. They have pursued an extreme agenda that would end Medicare as we know it and cut Social Security benefits in order to continue giving tax breaks to Big Oil and millionaires.

I definitely do not support a constitutional amendment that has to do with prohibiting gay marriage.
