It's basically just a good year to test a guy. We find their strengths, their weaknesses. It's a neat process.

Jim Sawyer

That second year is the best. You don't have a group of new faces. You already know their learning styles, their strengths and weaknesses. You can see where they've grown and where they need more help. You already know their parents and they know you.

Colleen Hooper

From my own personal experience, I've seen real strengths in some of our programs and the coaching. We've had some very positive experiences, but I know Brunswick is not immune from the problems that are out there in sports.

Peter Lowe

While our earnings for the quarter and the six months were essentially flat year over year, we have seen positive developments since the first quarter and believe that our fundamental strengths, our exceptional asset base and our experienced management team will serve us well as we continue to move forward in an uncertain environment.

Richard Scrushy

I am so proud of my brother. My dad's focus in life has always been to focus on improving your weaknesses because it will also improve your strengths. He is bringing the philosophy to his own team and it's a lesson that carries through not only as a hockey player but for everything you do in life.

Pat Lafontaine

ConAgra Foods has a number of great brands and businesses to drive future growth. We will build on those strengths by coupling disciplined investments in well-positioned brands with a more streamlined operating structure.

Gary Rodkin

Fort Wayne is rich in engineering talent and this project shows that we can accomplish good things when companies combine their strengths in pursuit of a common goal.

Rajiv Prasad

It seems like the strengths of a lot of these teams are really similar. Everybody's got excellent post players.

Tara Vanderveer

He'd eliminate the man, and my job was to clean up from there. I think I'm able to adapt to different partners, play off their strengths and go from there.

Brian Leetch

Both Ford and Volvo have looked at injury and fatality rates in rollovers involving vehicles that meet the federal standard to vehicles that have roof strengths that are multiples of the federal standard, and there isn't a difference.

Kathleen Vokes

We are excited to welcome the ChildrenFirst employees, clients, and families into the Bright Horizons community. The combined strengths and offerings of our organizations will provide an even stronger platform for growth in the field of back-up child care, and will expand our network of high-quality child care and work/life services to even better serve our clients.

David Lissy

Learn to think like a winner. Think positive and visualize your strengths.

Vic Braden

I think we'll be strong. What's nice about this team is that we have strengths in just about every event.

Bill Schrecengost

Our kids played really hard defensively. We were trying to eliminate some of the Woodland strengths. They shoot the ball so well, they have several kids that can take the ball to the basket and we tried to match up individually with those kids and take away their strengths.

Tim Rippy

The combined growth and external sector strengths allow Chinese policy makers to better address the country's structural economic challenges, and they have been taking the opportunity to do so.

James Mccormack

I think men and women should respect each other mutually and utilize (and) combine our strengths together.

Michelle Wang

Frank and Eva add a new level of depth to our management team, with significant experience in sales, brand building and business development. Their professional experiences and personal passion for games complement the strengths of our team and support our mission to make in-game advertising a compelling and integral part of the game playing experience.

Chris Gilbert

The thing that really came out was, both bases were very competitive and had strengths. But they were going to spend $300 million to reallocate bombers and end up with no significant increase in operational capacity.

Pat Mcelgunn

All three of these young ladies are capable of leading this team. They all have their strengths, so we've just got to see as we go down the road which one of these ladies will lead the Bobcats in the best team chemistry.

Karen Chisum

It is not that they are not needed and it is not that they are not valuable. Our legal mission, and what we are required to do, is to educate kids from kindergarten through 12th grade, and when we can go outside that within our financial strengths I think it is OK to do that.

Bill Waye

Rebounding is one of our strengths and we just didn't rebound in the first half. I was upset and we talked about that at halftime.

Ron Palcic

All we do is play to our players' strengths.

Mike D'antoni

We knew what their strengths were and their outside players did a good job of breaking around our wings. It was a good hard-fought Mid-Penn game. They kept coming at us and the credit to them.

Greg Clippinger

[The short field] cuts down on our strengths, passing speed and open field play. But we found a way to win.

Mike Noyes

In addition to the foreign exchange system already in service, we now have an integrated solution for combined risk, one of the greatest strengths of the Calypso solution. We are looking forward to making full use of its features.

Akifumi Uchida

Is very good at figuring out his opponent. He knows when to bluff. I consider that one of his strengths.

Greg Raymer

We worked off each other's strengths to intimidate those around us and propel us forward, ... The pack really stepped it up this week from our last meet two meets ago. As we continue with our speed training, this should only continue to improve.

Ashley Campbell

Combining with the world-renowned PepsiCo organization will unleash the tremendous global growth potential of the Gatorade brand and leverage the strengths of our foods business.

Robert Morrison

We do have four seniors up front that I think are one of the strengths on our team.

Bobby Wallace

You have to work on your weaknesses, but you have to work on your strengths even more. After all, returning well is one of my chief responsibilities on a court.

Mahesh Bhupathi

When you are winning, your strengths show and your weaknesses don't. We can't dwell on this; you can only loose a game once.

Frank Cacckello

We hope that Western will become known as the centre to go to for aboriginal policy research. Other universities have diverse strengths, but we feel confident that we are leaders in research that directly improves policies to benefit Aboriginal peoples.

Jerry White

The new AT&T represents the coming together of AT&T's passion to invent and SBC's drive to deliver. That really was the driver of our idea. These two companies, these two brands have strengths of their own.

Roy Spence

I think that one of his greatest strengths is his honesty and the willingness to be frank. When we have had flare-ups of criminal activity in the Downtown Central Business District, he has been a breath of fresh air, not choosing to go for political gain or for politeness to ignore problems.

Sam Grabarski

I know my strengths, my qualities, and I know what I am worth.

William Gallas

The boys' strengths will be the field events and the relays. The girls' strengths will be the relays and hurdles. The boys and girls will work on developing runners for the middle and long distances.

Tom Schroeder

Michelle's strengths as a player are her accuracy and precision. She has an all court game, plays the ball very tight and can hit winners on open balls. Her excellent footwork and balance allow her to cover the court extremely well, and mentally she is very tough.

Dave Talbott

When you are trying to compete against a region with such a huge head start, why not play to your strengths?

Len Jordan

Our offensive line is going to be one of our strengths this year as well. We have several returning starters there.

Brett Jones

Thank goodness we played those series of matches. With conference play beginning this week, the exhibition provided us with a real glimpse of where we have strengths and where we have weaknesses.

Dave Sitton

All of the prospective locations have infrastructure strengths and other qualities that essentially make them equal with each other. One will eventually make itself appear special to Toyota. That's how it works.

Jeffrey Liker

I thought we did a good job playing to our strengths. I'm pleased that we can play with top Milwaukee competition.

Nate Cleveland

[Detroit Deputy Mayor Anthony Adams largely concurs.] I think they actually have a pretty good relationship, ... I think as with any strong leaders, you're going to have points of contention where they are going to express their strengths. That doesn't mean they don't respect one another.

Anthony Adams

The data available today emphasizes the multifold strengths of our alliance strategy resulting into a leading position towards time-to-market, figure-of-merits, and manufacturing flexibility by pooling significant R&D resources as also exploiting a huge amount of intellectual capital.

Hermann Eul

We are so close to putting it all together and I still believe in the talent on this team and our ability to get it done against anyone. We have all the components but really need to start playing smarter, understanding certain situations better and becoming more proficient at playing to our strengths.

John Wicks

I think one of Barry's strengths was his ability to make sure we had input from everyone. It was one of the secrets of the success of Tri-County.

Suzanne Anarde

Being around different coaches, I've picked up several different styles of play. I can't really say, ?oh you'll see the wing-T or the spread.' We will have a system, but you have to adjust to your team's strengths and your opponents.

Scott Edwards

You're never going to see a high-scoring offensive show when we come together. I think some of it's nerves, and some of it is that both teams play so darn hard. We really know how to take each others' strengths away.

Mark Mooney

We're going to go to our strengths, and we are going to go inside. It's no surprise to anybody what we're going to do, and we're going to keep doing it.

Kathy Lanter

It's going to be very interesting to see how it goes. It's great this country is not so isolated that there is only one area of the country that has these strengths.

Bert Brantley

I have to use it [height] as an advantage. I'm not as fast as other players and my strengths are in the air.

Yannick Reyering

That showed us where we really are. Wisconsin really showed us our strengths and weaknesses. That we can have more control of the ball and play more possession not just kick it. Last year we used to just kick it and let me and Alexandra run on to it.

Abby Fennessey

I really hope one of our strengths will be consistency, and that's what I preach to them everyday. I really hope we're able to control the shots that we make and when we have opportunities to take advantage of them. Our depth is a concern, we just don't have the numbers.

Matt Gross

I certainly hope the strengths and values of this country hold up to comparison to other cultures.

Ralph Cline

We're always strong on the offensive boards, especially Julie. Our rebounding is definitely one of our biggest strengths.

Kristi Fallin

You know it was a nice and quiet gym ? it wasn't very loud here and we just couldn't stick to our game plan. We have a typical pressure defense; put them in spots where they don't operate as well, but we left girls open. We are a guard-oriented team ? we have quickness and we didn't use out strengths (tonight).

Tom Roberge

I am so proud to be in a musical that celebrates women, that celebrates their strengths and their differences.

Idina Menzel

One of my strengths is adaptability, both in my style of bowling and having an impact in different conditions.

Michael Kasprowicz

We came out strong at the beginning of the game and played to our strengths, which are rebounding and defense, but we didn't bring the intensity tonight. I can't wait until we play them again.

Brooke Mcafee

All of practice on Friday was keying on Kennedy's strengths and learning all we could about them because they're such a great team. Because of that and the way the game was going in the first half, we were very confident in ourselves at halftime that we could come back and get this game.

Jillian Schurle

One of the strengths we're seeing in terms of our downtown community is growth in health care-related industry.

Maureen Pero

In the first half she didn't really do much, but in the second half she came alive. She played to her strengths. She was open a lot and she hit her shots.

Traci Edwards

I was pleased with the effort but not the outcome. We moved the ball better tonight than we did in the scrimmages and I think as the season progresses will take better advantage of our strengths and improve.

Mike Tracey

We believe there's much to be gained by combining strengths of each organization. Our combined companies are strongly positioned to compete in the marketplace.

Larry Glasscock

Pitching should be one of our strengths. We have a lot of depth.

Derrick Landrus

San Antonio is a city rich with culture and diversity. I'm excited to be in a position to bring the strengths of AT&T, our community's premiere communications company, to work directly for San Antonio residents.

Brooks Mccorcle

We have devoted the last six months to building and implementing a transformation plan that leverages our strengths and allows us to compete successfully in a changing airline industry.

Bruce Lakefield

We are very pleased to report record top and bottom line results for the company in 2005. This continues our exceptional track record of strong earnings growth with an average annual growth rate of more than 20% over the past decade. And with the successful integration of John Hancock now behind us, we look forward to building on the strengths of our combined operations.

Dominic D'alessandro

We're just going to continue to focus on doing the things that we do. The worst thing to do is worry about what someone else is going to do and get away from what you do. So we want to focus on our core strengths and just wrestle hard.

Kerry Mccoy

This kind of story hits at one of the president's few remaining strengths, the perception that he is principled. The president's credibility on Iraq is already low outside the Republican Party, and this digs the hole deeper.

Christopher Gelpi

One of our strengths is excellent team speed. That has to be our game; play small and not let anybody get too far in front.

Tim Chambers

He'll work his butt off to be the guy. He knows what his strengths are, but he knows he needs to work harder to get better at his passing and be a complete quarterback.

Wes Meier

I think we have a whole range of other strengths out there that we should be cultivating and celebrating.

David Atkinson

There's no way to say, 'Yes, taking this special diploma is going to help you; not taking it is going to hurt you,' so long as you've made choices that demonstrate your intellectual strengths.

Gila Reinstein

I've always felt that one of the strengths I've had over the years is being able to communicate with jurors in straightforward, simple, understandable terms. I grew up in a very simple, straightforward world.

Dan K. Webb

Accepting our heritage, its struggles along with its strengths, allows us to accept and love ourselves.

Mark Bryan

Wayne Rooney is wasted switching between the right and left hand side. He's got to play through the middle, playing to his strengths. He came inside in the second half but didn't know what he was doing.

Terry Butcher

We were really focused tonight. We're playing to our strengths right now, which is pressure defense and fast-break offense.

Chad Van Riessen

The companies really fit, ... [Salomon's] strengths are where Smith Barney is not strong and Smith Barney's strengths are where Salomon is not strong.

Sanford Weill

The problem of obesity affects families, schools, employers and entire communities and must be addressed through partnerships that combine the strengths of the public, private and non-profit sectors.

Charles Stokes

The demand for mobile entertainment is growing exponentially as mobile phones become more and more a part of our everyday lives. Our new platform gives each of our partners added flexibility to participate in the mobile music market without losing their focus on core strengths and day-to-day business activities.

Mike Pinto

We're very strong in the middle because of Doug. Between him and Arni at sweeper and the keepers (Micah Lamb and Pat Lynch) and the other defenders, that's one of our team strengths.

Paul Cameron

Coaching helped me be a more effective leader in Barclays, helped me to reflect on my strengths and weaknesses and adjust leadership style to different members of the team.

Susan Turner

I quickly realized this guy can go to the basket with the ball. He plays above the rim. He has big hands and can drive. I began running plays for him so he could play to his strengths and he's shown it.

Jaren Jackson

There aren't as many unknowns. I want to maximize our players' strengths by being multiple.

Tom Allen

We need a whole matrix of measurements, ... Right now, we can't say what our strengths and weaknesses are. We don't have the data.

Pam Iorio

By combining the strengths of Yale, SCSU and Brookhaven, we will explore how the properties of artificially structured materials change as the size of devices constructed from them approaches atomic dimensions.

John Tully

You watch them up close, they understand each other's strengths. There's no ego there. If there was an ego, it wouldn't work.

Leon Barmore

I couldn't have scripted the (T-Town) game any better to get us prepared for the game (tonight). The kids needed to see first hand how poorly they could play in the postseason. If we don't go out and play to our strengths, against big physical teams, were mediocre at best.

Curt Dobbs

We received good contributions throughout our lineup. I think that is going to be one of our strengths, good balance.

Mike Geffre

I'm just going out and trying to play my best and play within the team. I play to my strengths.

Chris Huber

It's one of his strengths. But at the start, it was the energy he brought, the rebounds and deflections.

Jesse Nakanishi

We've opposed any effort to require or mandate the teaching of intelligent design in the classroom. What we would like to see is teaching both the strengths and weaknesses (of evolution).

Rob Crowther

I've always been a team player. Whatever they ask me to do I was going to do. It wasn't what I was used to and it wasn't playing to my strengths, but it was what the defense called for.

Warren Sapp

At some of the other schools the programs were too big. It's very nice here. The professor gets to know us and our strengths and weaknesses. He makes sure we know what we're doing.

Amanda Baker

She has all the right strengths.

Cheron Taylor

We're ready for our conference games. We've played eight times, and that has allowed us to address our strengths and weaknesses.

Scott Demonte

Many people think there is a big gap ... We need to review the strengths he had.

Eugene White

You always have certain strengths and certain weaknesses, and you want to compensate for your weaknesses, ... I have a real duty to earn the trust of the faculty. I don't just deserve it. I have to earn it.

Erskine Bowles

Our schedule is very challenging. The early portion of the schedule will help us to identify our strengths and weaknesses and better prepare for – the most important part of our season – the conference schedule. Obviously, we want to become as successful as possible. We also want to improve and develop as much as possible as we go along.

Ernie Nestor

We feel that by combining Red Hat's strengths in servers and workstation technology with Cygnus' expertise in small devices, we're creating a compelling story for the post-PC world.

Erik Troan

Cal is a very good team. We've seen them a lot, and it's going to be interesting. We know their weaknesses and strengths, and they know ours. We've just got to stick to our plan.

Emily Zaplatosch

We don't have any strengths. We have good people at all positions. A lot of it is knowing how to win.

Elyse Stoller

It is normal for these types of papers to be presented, which discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the technologies.

Edward Felten

Our vision is for Stoltenberg to develop our staff strengths and knowledge to enable us to be self-reliant for other near term conversions.

Edith Hunter

There are a lot of teams that are pretty even, and we feel like we're one of them. We've kind of been in the mode where we haven't finished, and that's been one of our strengths over the years.

Ed Pepple

I hope both sides will further use each other's strengths to expand exchanges and cooperation in the fields of petrochemicals and renewable energy.

Zeng Peiyan
