It's almost a loss leader.

That (OT loss) told me I had to work a lot harder. It helps that I went to state last year because now I have a feel for everything there. You just have to treat it like another tournament. It's tougher, of course, like a free-for-all. Just making it there is a feat in itself.

We speculate that our brains can compensate for up to a 60 percent loss of pre-Boetzinger cells, but the cumulative deficit of these brain cells eventually disrupts our breathing during sleep. There's no biological reason for the body to maintain these cells beyond the average lifespan, and so they do not replenish as we age,

Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull.

But on balance I'd say we had a net loss. Unfortunately, these other issues dominated that expose the US to charges of hypocrisy.

There were a lot of things to look at that weren't very good. They all added up to a loss.
