We came on strong late last year, making it to No. 9 or No. 10. Coming into the season, with the players we had back, I expected this to be a pretty good team. But I don't know that I expected us to be 9-0-2.

Brian Kelleher

We felt it here; it was strong.

Jacques Trembley

Jeremy. He said you're really strong.

Gabe Murtorff

These were pretty decent numbers overall. There was some concern over the sales numbers, but revenue also was strong for the quarter. There doesn't appear to be any letdowns here.

Dan Geiman

It's a level of commitment municipalities feel isn't strong enough when it's in statute.

Michael Starn

Basically any Japanese stocks can be bought. Strong output is having a ripple effect on other things such as wages and consumption.

Takashi Kamiya

In previous years, France and Germany have benefited from strong local films. This year they haven't, relatively speaking. They've had to rely on the international product flowing through, some of which has probably underperformed with audiences against expectations.

Mark Batey

He'll find that the competition here is very strong, and the more people who come out here and are fast, the better the show.

Pete Anderson

It's as good as it gets. You've got low inflation, minimal wage pressure, great productivity, booming growth and strong demand.

David Resler

Our performance today was nowhere near indicative of how strong we are, so of course that's a big disappointment for us, to know we had a good chance to get some points tonight and we just couldn't capitalize on it. We're going to be busy gearing up for Long Beach, and will just try and get this one behind us.

Mike Shank

Strong crude oil prices were generally lifting sentiment in the precious metals market.

Akira Doi

This is a well-rounded class that suits the needs of this team. The class of 2010 adds speed and versatility for our offense along with strong, resilient defenders.

Anne Wilkinson

We showed what we're made of and how strong we are as a team. We were very focused in the fourth quarter. It was tough. The crowd was screaming, and you can't hear your coach on the floor, so you just have to play through it and not get too excited out there. Mira Costa really was pumped and came with it, but so did we.

Atonye Nyingifa

The field is strong here with many world-class players, but I've got the determination to play well and will try to win.

Kj Choi

Our entire project came together in under five months. The only way to do that is staff it with strong internal people and outsource to agencies that have the experience.

Keith Fox

We've been recording strong (trading) volumes since Tuesday, when the minutes of the Federal Reserve gave a boost to the markets.

Felipe Brandao

We came out strong in the third quarter and that was a big key for us.

Janelle Spearmon

The level of activity has been building up the last month or two. We have a very strong pipeline headed into 2006, as do most of the M&A law firms and the investment banks.

Frank Aquila

It is actually one of the really strong pieces of evidence in the report that we should be celebrating.

Mark Schneider

I am proud of the way the girls played. They showed a lot of heart and stayed strong as a team.

Dezarae Johnson

Michael's had a very strong off-season. He's trained hard and he's really looking forward to playing this weekend. We've been eagerly awaiting his debut.

John Dixon

Springdale is just so big and strong that there's no way that we could win a half court game with them. It had to be full court, and we were able to dictate the tempo with some full-court pressure.

Sean Williamson

We feel we have a very strong appellate issue, both factually and legally.

Joseph Gorman

Winter is about to make a strong comeback.

Bill Sammler

They've got a ready-made market to come in and sell to, ... They've got a strong install base in terms of providing carriers with the messaging infrastructure they need. The service provider segment of the messaging market is really, I think, the fastest growing segment of the market these days.

James Kobielus

They're a strong attacking team so our defense really held us in. It was a defensive-minded game.

Stacey Freda

The market is still very strong. Trade started with some profit-taking and further losses due to negative foreign (market) influence but the selling never gathered steam.

Marcelo Porto

It's great to be able to finish off the regular season on a strong note and jump into the Chase race with a very similar track in New Hampshire.

Kurt Busch

She ran a strong race for us and continues to get better and better.

Sara Root

He's more aggressive. He's a strong, powerful kid, and he's done a tremendous job of getting stronger and playing with power instead of finesse.

Theo Ratliff

He's an athletic guy, moves around well and we're not really getting much production other than Will Herring at (strong-side) linebacker. We felt like we needed another productive guy.

Will Muschamp

I think he has the potential of playing junior hockey somewhere. If he has a strong playoff performance, he can open some eyes.

Paul Taibi

He's a big, strong, athletic kid. He's got a good fastball with excellent movement and good sink. He's got a major-league slider. Obviously, the stuff is there and the ability is there. He needs to pitch a little bit more and get consistent outings.

Ben Cherington

The traditional risk factors for stroke are increasing age, being male - men have more strokes than women - cigarette smoking is a very strong one and blood pressure is probably the strongest consistent factor.

Paul Mitchell

We continue to see strong sales momentum in the region, led by high demand for our flagship products.

Till Becker

What interests me, ... is why people are so repelled when, after all, everyone started life attached. In a sense, the twins have never been born because they are still tied by an umbilical cord. Relationships between women - daughters, mothers, friends - are one of my strong interests.

Judith Rossner

The Korean banks' intrinsic value has improved since the crisis, but still substantially below the global average. More needs to be done, and one way is to have strong foreign banks have a stronger controlling presence because it changes the whole competitive dynamics.

Thomas Byrne

The old welfare system was hurting people by discouraging work and marriage. Welfare reform, and now this legislation, will build on the understanding that work and strong families are the foundation upon which we build our future.

James Talent

Primetime has not been as strong as we'd hoped.

Doug Brooks

She's very determined behind the plate. She's strong and she and Tiffany seem to work well together. They're a good combination.

Laura Patinella

I thought there would be a little learning curve, but they're athletic, they're strong, they all jump really, really well. They're not playing like freshmen. They're not playing like freshmen at all. They're going to be scary in the next few years … I'm including this year in the next few years.

Mark Trakh

I don't think I have a choice, as we are trying to expand our business in other global markets. We need a strong team to take the business to the next level.

Michael Ying

Recognizing the unique character and strong demographics of each of these great markets, we are thrilled that they will be home to the newest members of the Ruth's Chris Steak House family.

Craig Miller

We are very excited to have acquired such attractive oil and gas properties. The combination of a substantial increase in production and reserves, dedicated equipment to support our drilling activities and strong commodity prices positions the Company for strong growth in 2006.

Patrick Michaels

Travel gives a character of experience to our knowledge, and brings the figures on the tablet of memory into strong relief.

Henry Tuckerman

Rezak was a person you could disagree with and still have your job, Gupta is not. Rezak was someone who had strong opinions of his own. He would listen to them, give them serious consideration.

David Broad

It's such a strong smell, they think it's a gourmet meal.

Sharon Henderson

I was concerned about the largest industry in Nebraska, which is agriculture. I have a strong ag background and a lot of business experience. We (as part of Osborne's staff) used our resources to create jobs. I look forward to trying to keep it going.

John Hanson

The first quarter has seen continued strong growth in poker on the back of a record number of poker sign-ups.

Martin Weigold

We met our original 2005 targets which, in view of the special charges throughout the year, is a solid achievement. A strong second half of 2005 has given us a good basis now to enter 2006 and generate further profitable growth.

Fred Kindle

Hopefully, I think on Sri Lankan wickets we might have a slight chance of upsetting England. The guys are very keen. Initially bowling and fielding were our strong points, but the batting has got going. We have a balanced side. I will be happy if we can get to the last eight.

Roy Dias

She is strong in the floor exercise and the vault. She is always laughing and cracking jokes.

Jennifer Barrett

Of sound mind, but very strong-willed, and if his request for permission to remain in the USSR were turned down again he might repeat his suicide attempt.

Lee Harvey Oswald

I think [finishing strong] kind of goes without saying. This is our opportunity to redeem ourselves, we're going to pull out all the stops and go for everything 100 percent.

Dan Connelly

In contrast to recent consumer confidence surveys, Canadians seem to show some strong resilience toward investing, even amid rising energy prices and energy-related impacts on equity markets in the past month.

Bruce S. Gordon

The bottom line is we have a very strong growth profile at the moment, with no real signs of any softening in investment.

Ben Simpfendorfer

She was in there with the trees, banging away. She's fearless and competitive. She looks strong. She's ready to rock and roll.

Katie Smith

China's national interest, the increase in deal opportunities, and the emergence of Chinese 'challengers' have all contributed to this strong momentum of M&A deals.

Jim Hemerling

He was a huge key in this game. Given La Salle's size, we knew our defensive post play would be critical and Landon stepped up and played a strong game.

Chris Roche

We look forward to closing the Hollywood transaction promptly. With a broader geographic presence and greatly improved distribution capabilities and scale, our combined company will be a strong competitor.

Joe Malugen

We believe there was insufficient detail in the brief press release to draw strong conclusions about the quality of the fourth-quarter results.

Nicholas Byrne

This development indicates the mobile-phone market is becoming increasingly competitive, and only the big and strong [manufacturers] can survive.

Scott Smyser

It's interesting to note that while per subscriber valuations have fallen for public (cable companies), they remain relatively strong in the private market.

Craig Moffett

The government and this jury have sent a strong message to those who would ignore the democratic process and resort to criminal activity to advance their political views.

Mike Caulfield

Amy has demonstrated that she will be a strong, effective voice for the fight I believe in -- protecting our children, building safer communities, and seeing that every Minnesotan has access to a good education and quality health care.

Patty Wetterling

We are pleased with the quarter's results, ... Despite low aluminum prices - which are down 14 percent since the beginning of 1998 -- we have maintained strong earnings.

Paul O'neill

Algonac, Yale - they all look strong.

Lisa Shaw

Smithfield Foods is proud of John Morrell and its strong focus on meeting customer demand for our products, ... The company's employees deserve special credit because their hard work and dedication in producing quality products made this investment in the community possible.

Larry Pope

Having a strong will and desire is half the battle and probably the bigger half.

Diane Crossan

There's a strong market for managed security services providers who can stay on top of the technology and threats that are changing daily. Getting a service provider to relieve that burden from the IT staff has a lot of value for enterprises.

George Hamilton

We may have a strong economy today, but our prosperity and economic leadership will not last unless we respond boldly to a series of competitive challenges created by these realities.

Thomas Donohue

Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumbbells? To dig a vineyard is worthier exercise for men.

Marcus Valerius Martialis

When my horse broke, he broke really strong, but he was so nervous, he never got settled.

Rafael Bejarano

I come from a long line (of strong black women) and have been involved with strong black women, so I have to (make) Original Woman a strong character. She could never be the back half of Omega Man. It just couldn't happen.

Alonzo Washington

There's considerable nervousness about the direction of interest rates. After having such a strong run earlier, markets need some time to catch their breath.

Geoff Lewis

Jordan is very quick, strong and he loves playing the game. When you turn the lights on, he is ready to play.

Fred Hartsfield

I know that most of my players have speed, so we manned up. We're too fast and too strong, and I knew they couldn't match up with any of our players. When we pulled them out of the zone, we let loose on them.

Steven Broughton

They're big, fast and quick. They like to play diagonal ball to the weak side flanks, and they're pretty strong in the air.

Rob Bledsoe

Well? I mean, I know fatherhood isn't your strong suit, but I thought maybe you'd evolved a little since the time you knocked Mom up.

But April

The GMT-900 version of the Chevy Tahoe is officially for sale now, but it is difficult to gauge how strong a start the vehicle is having. Nonetheless, early results will be highly scrutinized.

Peter Nesvold

It was due to defense and Donovan Jones' play. He started taking the ball up strong to the hole and showing everybody that's what we're supposed to do.

Mike Flowers

Not only does music have a strong cultural impact, but it has a significant economic impact. The map is another way to really celebrate that we have a really rich musical heritage.

Marty Mcomber

ESPN is in such a league of its own, and has established such a strong brand, it would be impossible for us to compete with ESPN even if we wanted to, ... What we're trying to do with Outdoor Life is add to it and make it a better channel.

Steve Burke

This year is crucial since there is strong competition. Nobody can take things lightly.

Taran Adarsh

If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use? Two strong oxen or 1024 chickens?

Seymore Cray

A lot of the gains in March were related to seasonal issues and California grocers going back to work. The April number won't be as strong, and the Fed's going to need to see a few months of strong jobs growth before it raises rates.

Gary Wolfer

Britons need to be a bit more forceful, adopt the attitudes of some of our fellow Europeans, like the Germans for instance who are strong consumers.

Paul Watters

The result of that supply/demand imbalance is what I like to call The Perfect Storm, which is a very strong, robust outlook for rough diamond pricing.

Peter Gillin

My strategy was to take it at them strong because she (Davenport) is not going to block everything. I basically tried to go out there and play with no fear, because if you're afraid of them that's when you're going to start making little mistakes.

Nicole Piggott

Marc has a lot of irons in the fire, and I know some things will pan out, ... We were surprised by a few guys not returning, but I trust Marc, and I know we're going to be strong on the ice.

Barry Melrose

The fall season is going to be interesting to examine how strong the shift will be.

Michael Atmore

They're all strong guys, physical, smart, heady players. They do a lot of different stuff, at times, especially in some passing situations - they'll have guys everywhere . . . sometimes it's just crazy.

Stephen Alexander

Brown has developed into a strong leader. She has great talent in the 100 breast and leads by example.

Silas Almgren

Celery has the cool flavor with the spicy chicken. And a nice strong beer goes great.

Nitin Khanna

I think the surprise here is that so many people see her as a strong leader, ... What's interesting about those numbers is that leadership was probably an area that proved to be John Kerry's downfall in the last election. It's an area where she is doing well.

Carroll Doherty

We?re hoping that it is going to send a strong message to other WTO members that biotech approvals must be science-based and can?t take the amount of time that the EU has taken in approving their biotech products.

Michelle Gorman

We've got a strong team, but it's not just physical strength, there is a very strong bond between this group of men.

Brian Mcclennan

We just didn't get the clutch hits when we needed to, and we didn't play strong defense. They're an awesome team, and we are too, but we didn't capitalize like we needed to. It's a tough loss to get swept at your home field. You never want to do that.

Lindsey Cameron

We are pleased to report strong first-half results despite a tough UK retail environment.

Ted Baker

He looked strong, but he might have gone out too hard. It's a good number to have (No. 1). He might have been a little too excited.

Trond Nystad

He (White) had a tough first inning, but was strong the rest of the way. He was getting his curve ball over and his fastball blew them (Southeastern) away.

Glenn Lincoln

I think we're going to see very strong reports for both Dell and H.P.. All the evidence suggests that PC's, including servers, are selling surprisingly well.

Mark Stahlman

He said he just thinks it's a freak thing where it was healed up, his quad was strong, he had great rehab and was ready to play. And then he fell on it and it just ruptured again.

Rick Burkholder

This is obviously not something I can do every day. But lately there is such a strong demand for it, I have to say yes sometimes.

Daniel Boulud

Some new actors are focused on whether they do a good job delivering their lines when they're acting, but scenes without dialogue are harder because you have no lines to portray that you're doing something. Jay Chou didn't have this problem. There were a lot of scenes without dialogue in the movie, but he has a very strong imagination. He would try to figure out what's the situation now.

Alan Mak

We are confident that, if business and market conditions remain stable, we will deliver on our published financial target, and turn our strong performance into clear benefits for our shareholders.

Josef Ackermann

We had a good strong regular season. We accomplished some of the goals that we set for ourselves and now it's about going in here and buckling down, coming out executing defensively and offensively and really putting it all together, because the reward is sweet if we do.

Jason Terry

Despite the weakness of the past two months, the general underlying trend for the economy is still higher. The data still point to strength in the manufacturing sector, and upcoming orders appear strong.

Rob Palombi

AccuVision's strong uniform light field and controlled movement can assist in achieving defect-free products by facilitating more accurate and greater rates of visual inspections with sensors, cameras, and even the human eye.

Charles Mitchell

Terry is an amazing guy with a positive outlook, strong focus and competitive juices. We're looking forward to having him back in the weeks ahead.

Rick Greenspan

I was leery, skeptical, but the more I thought about it, the title says 'world' champion, ... What made Muhammad Ali great is he fought all over the world, putting his name out there, stepping out, standing strong.

Lamon Brewster

Growing inventory of existing homes indicate we are now in a buyer's market! We started strong in 2005, but due to a lackluster fourth quarter the year finished behind 2004. Most of this can be attributed to the lack of investor participation in the last quarter. Sales for 2005 were about 5 percent below that of 2004.

Denny Grimes

Kennard-Dale started out fairly strong with some energy to beat us in our flat system and we got a bit disorganized. Putting Taylor in there gave us a lift and that third goal seemed to take some energy out of them. She has become fairly crafty in there and she can score goals. We needed a little jolt and she provided that.

Greg Clippinger

A trophy is at stake and we want to do well. I want to put out a fairly strong side.

Joe Mcaree

[As for a return to South Jersey next year] Definitely, ... As long as my schedule allows it, I would love to come back next year and do this again. We'll do anything we can do to bring soccer back strong to this area.

Heather Mitts

They ran their own races, ran smart and finished strong to catch the Bismarck runners at the end.

Clint Chamberlin

We kept a lot of fresh bodies on him. We played him strong and limited his touches. We felt that if we won all the hustle plays we'd come up with a win.

Justin Ingram

I just realised I'm the adult and I have to be strong. I didn't want to plod along in a numb state, I needed to be totally aware of what's going on, otherwise it wouldn't be fair.

Christine Hall

While the US Federal Reserve Board is exploring ways to exit from the interest rate-hiking cycle, investors are gaining strong confidence in the strength of Japan's economic fundamentals.

Ryohei Muramatsu

That's one thing in this game, you have to be strong mentally. If you're not strong mentally, you're done.

Luis Sojo

Our key instrument and main weapon is a strong state, strong authorities, a strong government.

Sergei Kiriyenko

The 2006 year opened on a strong note, with solid growth of 33 percent in online non-travel sales versus the same period in 2005. It's clear based on what we're seeing so far in 2006 that the strength in online sales will not wane anytime soon.

Gian Fulgoni

Gap is a quality team. Right now, they're playing as well as anybody. We're going to need another strong effort.

John Corbett

Our strong point is that we'll be solid on the back end.

Randy Gumbley

The group is exceptionally well positioned for future growth in 2006 with a strong order book and good visibility of earnings, supported by a high level of recurrent revenues.

Chris Moore

Productivity gains have been strong in the current period, allowing the economy to recover without creating jobs.

Don Fine

WorldCom has a solid base of bill-paying customers, strong fundamentals, a solid balance sheet, manageable leverage and nearly $10 billion in available liquidity, ... Bankruptcy or a credit default is not a concern.

Bernie Ebbers

It's great to have Jack here twice in the final 10 days. We can win this riding and Jack's working hard to make that happen. We need a strong NDP voice from Vancouver Island North to get results for the people of our communities.

Catherine Bell

Commodities were very strong for the rand this week. There weren't many negatives for the currency.

Jim Bryson

You just can't do that. In the first half, especially, we struggled to be strong with the ball. We have to fix that.

Blake Ahearn

The underlying trend for our industry over the next decade should be strong. What we've seen in the past couple of quarters is bookings have been picking up.

Jim Morgan

Falls on Wall Street last night and profit-taking in H-shares, many of which had a strong run lately, are the major reasons for the market's fall today.

Francis Lun

It's certainly nice knowing we can put C.J. out there and we'll get a strong defensive effort from him every time.

Ron Faust

Tyler is a very strong kid who has a great work ethic and he will be a very good wrestler for us next year.

Jason Rostorfer

Standard Life has made a strong start to 2006. The results for the first quarter demonstrate the success of our re-positioning.

Sandy Crombie

Today's vote in the House and Senate demonstrates once again Mississippi's strong commitment to its longtime industrial partners.

Phil Teel

It was a good performance from the singles all around against a strong Aspen squad. And they've been practicing indoors.

Dave Weisfeldt

Every year since I've been here, we've had a strong girls team. I think we've got a group of girls that go out there with the confidence that they know they can do it, and they get it done.

Kathryn Gilreath

Aberdeen's key strength is its Asian equities team. Hugh Young has one of the most consistently strong investment track records among his peers and the quality and stability of his team is unrivalled.

Hugh Young

She just continues to build momentum, when after a few years, many singers will lose some popularity and begin to fade. She just gets stronger and stronger. And the best thing about Rebecca is the message she brings with her. It's a strong message all about purity, and it is especially for the young girls who will be there.

Bruce Rice

We showed a lot of character and I think our second period was real strong. It carried over into the third and we kind of just took it to them.

Trevor Letowski

Strong financial performance is essential to ensure that Preferred Care is able to meet all of its claims responsibilities as well as any unforeseen medical expenses. As a not-for-profit health plan, our earnings are our only source of capital.

Tom Combs

We have a strong economy, but it's not bullet proof, so you've got to be very careful about the steps you take to try to change the way things are going. There is certainly room for the market to go up.

James Huguet

This is a strong serving team and we have height. But not just height, there's talent there. We should be strong.

Mary Thomason

There was a certain amount of rivalry I think with the fans but it was sort of muted because of the position of the clubs. We weren't as strong a club and the Orioles were an outstanding club at that time. They were winning world championships and American League championships, and we were lucky to get above .500.

Jim Hannan

You sort of fell in love with Jane when you met her. She was exuberant, original, strong-minded and a very kind woman.

Jacob Epstein

The final was unbelievable. We had some beautiful goals against a very good team. They were mostly upperclassmen and they were fast and strong.

Lorin Campbell

Nurses look for environments to work where they're valued and respected and they look for an environment where they can participate and be involved in decision-making. We have a strong physician-nurse relationship. Our physicians highly regard our nursing staff.

Diana Russell

The girls came out very strong, great job defensively by the whole team. The girls have been working extremely hard in practice, and it is starting to pay off.

Sue Simmons

China Telecom is suffering selling pressure this morning, but otherwise selling is not too strong.

Dennis Leung

There's no more stress. We can use the tournament to regroup and come back strong for the rest of our league games.

Amy Pikas

Strong patient volume and revenue growth contributed to another extremely successful quarter.

Jack Bovender

It sounds like we should be pretty strong in league, from what I've heard from the girls.

Catherine Hallada

We've had a lot of strong evidence to indicate that it probably was a tornado as opposed to just strong wind gusts.

Geoff Coulson

Comparisons to a very strong year-ago November are difficult. However, our sales remain generally healthy.

Bill Lovejoy

Mesquite is a very strong running team, and they like to keep it simple. They played Desert Vista very well and had them down. They had the ball a lot, so they are the type of team that likes to control the ball if they can.

Karl Kiefer

I'm only a freshman and it was intense and the competition was really strong. Hopefully, next year I'll qualify again and know what to expect, how to handle the pressure. This year I went in not knowing what it would be like. They beat me only in experience.

Cassandra Partyka

It's like 2000. They have a strong offensive line and good running backs.

Bill Castle

A report like this will continue to fuel the debate about how strong consumer spending will be over the holiday season.

Alan Gayle

Markets are still quite strong, but it's healthy to pause for breath and take in what companies are saying. Stocks have made quite a big move. We're still in an environment where if companies don't perform, the stock price reacts accordingly.

Stephen Docherty

Daryl has certainly been a bull. He's a young man with great balance and he's extremely strong. He's able to lower his shoulder and run over people. It takes a couple of people to bring him down. He's been great as a blocker, as well as when we put him back in the I [formation] or the one-back. He's got very good hands, too.

Pete Adrian

We took a lot of hits to graduation, but we'll be strong again. We'll be in the mix in the conference again.

Kari Rosenberg

This was a game where we had to have a strong showing. There was nothing to really be excited about when you give one away like we did.

Tessy Manuel

I don't want to change anything about his release. You don't want to try to fix something that's not broken. Vince has a strong arm, and the ball gets from point A to point B in a hurry and on target.

Jerry Rhome

Although this business has recently been in decline, we believe the brand equities remain strong, and the business can be revitalized through additional focus and support.

Robert Davies

Wolves are the biggest single issue we've heard from hunters, almost since the day of reintroduction. They're the folks that pay the bills at Fish and Game. So we listen to what they say. But we wouldn't have come forward with the proposal if we weren't making a pretty strong case now.

Jim Unsworth

Since declining over the past week, it is our opinion that the shares of each microprocessor supplier sufficiently discount potentially slower PC sell-through as well as the potential for aggressive pricing this winter. We continue to receive confirmation of strong notebook PC and server demand, even if desktops are less clear.

Rick Whittington

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Og Mandino

I'll carry back to London a very strong sense of the family's and the Brazilian people's powerful emotions at the regrettable death of an innocent man. I fully sympathize with this. We're deeply sorry.

John Yates

I thought I would increase very cautiously the quantity of LSD in subsequent experiments to see if any of the dosages were active. It turned out that when I ingested this quarter of a milligram, I had taken a very strong, a very high dosage of a very, very active compound. I got into a strange state of consciousness.

Albert Hofmann

Strong jobs data will certainly further raise expectations for Fed rate hikes in March and the months after that. The U.S. economy still seems robust and the dollar's upward trend is likely to continue.

Yuji Saito

We've been helped by the markets but the great thing about Chase is its balance. We are the world's largest raiser of debt capital for corporations. If the equity market is not strong it creates a lot of opportunity in the debt market and that's where we dominate.

Marc Shapiro

We have a very strong economy. We're enjoying pretty strong demand right now.

Fed Bank

Demand for the dollar will likely remain strong through December, particularly with the bonus season bolstering Japanese retail buying.

Hideki Hayashi

We are delighted with the appointment of Patrick, ... He has consistently delivered strong business performance and is an excellent addition to the senior management team of Octel.

Paul Jennings

He had some strong words for our offensive team and they were justified, ... He has very high expectations for us and me personally. It's nothing that we need to get all upset about. It's true, we've got to play better.

Matt Hasselbeck

We have a lot of strong singers in the choir right now, so I figured if I'm going to do the 'St. John Passion,' now is the time to jump.

Andre Thomas

[When the Cardinals elected not to re-sign Boston following last season, the Chargers were standing by ready to recruit him.] I made my bed in Arizona, and I was going to lie in it, ... But as soon as they didn't name me their franchise player, I knew they didn't want to win. I had a chance to pick what I wanted in a team, and the first thing was a strong running game.

David Boston

We definitely played hard tonight and came out strong early. We came out and wanted to run them down early and that has been kind of our identity this year. We have been sticking to that.

Cameo Hicks

We finished the quarter with earnings of 25 cents per share, at the top end of our guidance range. Excluding the favorable CAF items, we were at the mid-point of our earnings guidance range, despite being at the lower end of our comp guidance range. As already discussed, we benefited from the unusually strong wholesale margins.

Austin Ligon

In my experience, I would say it's rare, if not unprecedented. I think it sends a strong message.

Rachel Leon

They came out very strong, and we just weren't thinking. In the second half we were getting the passing down and spread the field.

Julia Hassall

The Geek is strong with this one.

Darth Vader

We are encouraged to see these strong follow-on orders for our GSM phones in these new markets. This validates the quality, performance and appeal of the products.

Stephen Verhoeff

That's part of what makes him conservative. Because of his strong character, he's going to convince people to go his way.

Nicholas Paindiris

By choosing to act preemptively, before inflation becomes strong, the ECB is clearly looking to reducing short-term volatility to keep rates in growth-friendly territory.

Lena Komileva

I would not be surprised to see a short-term correction of the dollar. Strong Japanese economic data could be used as an excuse to buy back the yen.
