We thought we'd be fortunate if we got down to 12 percent (increases) or so. It's exceeded our expectations tremendously.

There is no question that we have weathered a storm and are now entering a relatively stable investment climate. But due to prudent funding policies, the WRS continues to be in excellent financial condition. That is good news for all of our members.

Both teams are very similar as far as the expectations placed upon them.

On the other hand, landowners need to be realistic when it comes to
their expectations of what resources and how long it takes to reach their
objectives, whether it's a crop of trees or an aesthetic view, ... Unreasonable expectation by the landowner can also result in
expensive lessons.

This report was largely in line with expectations. It was a grim report.

This team exceeded my expectations of what I thought we'd be able to do this year. Tonight we didn't shoot the ball with confidence, and we didn't take care of some of the most basic things you need to take care of in playoff basketball. That's what happens with youth. You could tell that we'd never been this close before.
