They won more of the critical bouts.

Little things add up and this is what happened here. But I'm very pleased. Our guys wrestled well.

I think (the layoff) hurt us. Having that layoff is good to nurse injuries, but it also kind of takes away from being tuned up and (it takes away) from the intensity.

Both Josh Klein (127) and Jon Saylor (217) were not at 100 percent going into their bouts and I saw they were hurting a little so I threw in the towel rather than risk any further injury.

The Fed has been on 'autopilot' with its monetary tightening so that even bouts of weaker data, such as we saw after hurricane Katrina, failed to divert the Fed off course. But now, following the minutes of the December meeting, it is clear that policy will become more data dependent.

To some people independent thought is heresy and critical thought blasphemy
