Why it is not a normalcy . What aspect of it is not quite normal . Ms. Sullivan i will invite jerry bell to answer your question. You are talking about a range of probabilities, and this is potentially reinforcing factors which make this year more uncertain than others. But, jerry, do want to answer that . Seasonl we have three classifications, nearnormal refers to a range of activity defined by the overall season strength, as well as the numbers of hurricanes and tropical storms. We used near normal instead of oftentimesple think as the mathematical average, and we are not talking about the mathematical average here, we are talking about the middle third of the seasons with a certain level of activity.

Announcer cspan. Created by americas Cable Companies 35 years ago. Announcer on this weekend newsmakers Johnny Isakson is our guest. He is the chair of the Veterans Affairs community and talks about ongoing efforts to reform the v. A. Senator isakson i am an optimist, and i would say succeeding is not the main goal of the v. A. Statutory changes needed as well as leadership changes. Thats why i have said we need to have Bob Mcdonnells back and get the force of congress behind him to make sure he does the Accountability Measures necessary. I want to underscore this we have some of the finest Health Care Professionals and technicians in the world. Our problem is more the administration and accounting level of the v. A.

Announcer you can watch newsmakers tomorrow at 10 00 a. M. And 6 00 p. M.

He could look you in the eye again. It was that simple. Talking about being able to look another person in the eye. It was about his sense of human dignity. The miracle wasnt billy standing, it was his sense of purpose that Guiding Light his sense of purpose. That Guiding Light that drove people to make a profound difference in the life of more than just one person. Others wil
I dont think they heard me. I dont think they heard me. I said all the people screaming your name out is out there today. Thats what i thought i heard. I would be happy, too. I would be happy too. Now let me try to restore a little order because i be excited myself if i said in a stance and a be more excited said in a seat. If i was getting ready to get my degree i would ask the speaker to do just a few things. Give me a little pieces of the puzzle and then go sit down and shut up. [laughter] i knew it so let me just you know give you my three pieces to the life puzzle. The first piece i think is applicable to all of us is simply failure is not final if they refuse to quit. I want to send one more time because i think it is absolutely unequivocally important to empathize emphasized the simple fact that failure is not final if you refuse to quicker i was thinking back during president evans introduction of how i basically flunked out of high school as a freshman to i remember those days
