We are generally pleased that we were able to report a solid quarter in a tough advertising environment.

Gary Pruitt

We have seven very solid kids going. We're going to make some noise.

Dennis Kitko

We had solid play at tackle. We need to play better.

Chuck Bresnahan

It?s a fairly new law in the state of Florida. We think our facts are solid.

Suzanne Bass

The last three games, we haven't been firing on all cylinders. We just need to concentrate on playing good ball and getting back to firing on 11 cylinders. This week, we have a solid game plan, which should allow that to happen. My kids just have to be the best that they can be. I can't ask anything more of them than that.

Andy Klatt

We're in a really tough period, we've got some good teams to play over the next month but it's how we handle the tough period that will determine the result at the back end of the season. We will definitely stick solid as a team.

Ricky Stuart

Liberty Tax Service is a solid contender for the franchising industry to watch. Our growth is solid in number of new franchisees and new offices. We are establishing a visible brand name that's quickly becoming known for excellent customer service and a vibrant corporate culture.

John Hewitt

This joining of forces could launch us immediately into a highly competitive position and add an advantage by giving us access to an extremely large population of potential customers, lowering significantly our cost of customer acquisition, while building a solid foundation that will enable rapid growth and profitability, increasing our shareholder value.

Anthony Longo

It's a steady bite, but you have to stay with the birds. The trout under the birds are solid fish with quite a few running from 3 to 5 pounds.

Skip James

They are unselfish. They are good kids. They'll graduate from here. They're solid citizens, and you can't ask for much more.

Dan Dougherty

Critically important entity in Putnam County. Our charge is to bring solid, reliable and successful businesses into the county, providing jobs while assisting the heavily burdened residential property owner with needed tax relief. More business means added sales tax revenue.

Kevin Bailey

We expect to be in the playoffs, that says something after last year. I think we have a solid team that as long as we keep working we can do all right.

Brock Knight

We had our chances. It was still a solid year for us, one we can look back on and be proud of.

Tommy Swanson

Their kids are well disciplined in executing their assignments and they do a great job of playing within themselves. They play good, solid, aggressive defense and coach Jorgensen always has a few tricks up his sleeve on offense.

Mike Yancheff

Both teams played solid defense and got good goaltending.

Mike Donahue

We played pretty solid defense and did a good job of just containing them and keeping them in front of us.

Tim Parmeter

Our solid basic business makes the achieved level of profitability sustainable. We therefore expect a profit for the current year of the same level as in 2005.

Nikolaus Von Bomhard

It's more evidence that the economy is on a pretty solid track.

Greg Weeks

Before, (with) all the metal bats all you could hear was a ding. Now it's more of a solid-hitting feeling, like they've extended the sweet spot.

Katie Ivancich

This weekend is like a Big Ten weekend. Both teams are solid. It should prepare us for Big Ten play.

Dean Duerst

It's always a pleasure to have our former champions return. So many of them have developed a solid following with our faithful fans.

Steve Wilmot

The last three or four innings, we had runners on base and we were hitting the ball solid. We had only one strikeout in the last three or four innings. We were ripping the ball pretty good. It's the sign of a good team when they can come back. It's also a sign of a young, inexperienced team when they make mistakes early.

Bob Yagge

Both of our goaltenders have been playing well and we're protecting the net in front of them. But we still have to work on our transition game, turning our solid defense into more offense.

Tom Mutch

Both are very solid players, aggressive baseliners who can come in to the net. I think they'll be able to help our doubles lineup and they have big serves.

Guido Baumann

I like a nice, solid tie to go with a nice, crisp poplin shirt, and with a khaki suit.

David Chu

We still have a lot of work to do, but we are delivering on our 100-day plan, ... We are making solid progress on our cost reduction initiatives, and we are profitable. We remain on track to emerge from Chapter 11 protection later this year.

Michael Capellas

We played hard and played solid defense, and when you do that you're going to be in the game.

Marlee Webb

Analysts are expecting that next quarter's growth-rate will double, and that's based fundamentally on the really solid performance of our core businesses, ... Our Internet growth is taking off. Our Internet businesses grew 2.6 times this quarter, so the growth is in fact spectacular for us in our key businesses.

Scott Cook

He's been solid. I think he's got a pretty good idea of what he's doing back there.

Blaise Ilsley

We hit a major drought and I give a lot of credit to their defense. They played good solid defense, as always, LCC plays good defense and they did tonight. It's hard to overcome. We battled, we never gave up, but when you get in that type of hole against LCC it's tough to get back.

Scott Minnig

Clearly, we put in place a platform for solid, sustainable growth in both sales and profits. All the pieces are in place for another excellent year in 2006.

Mackey Mcdonald

I think Victor was a little bit nervous with everything going on, but he rose to the occasion. He was just really, really solid. He did a great job on May.

Larry Hogan

They're a solid bet to score in the high 30s and a possibility for 40.

Thom Jacobs

I think we're one of the better clubs around here. We're hitting the ball as well as anybody. I think we can play defense with any club out there. It's just if our pitching comes along. That will make us very, very solid.

Robert Erp

Ruben was just doing what he was supposed to do. He made solid contact.

Dane Mason

It was a good, solid team effort. We just have to take one more step.

Al Melanson

We have a solid four to work around.

Bob Cavanagh

She's had many double-doubles. She's a hard post to stop, and a dominating post inside. She's solid for us in the middle of our zone. She's the best post player in the district.

Kip Anderson

We're very happy to win our opener and get our first conference victory. Our defense was solid and our pitching was excellent.

Mark Demboski

Kyle played big for us down the stretch, not just with the foul shots, but a couple of big rebounds. He had the kind of game you'd expect out of your second-leading scorer. He's been pretty solid for us this season.

George Braun

She's been a solid hitter the past couple of years and does a good job throwing runners out. She's a tough, steady player and a great kid.

Rick Vollstedt

Given the increasing global importance of retirement issues and the rethinking of health care benefits and executive compensation, we expect our solid performance to continue in fiscal 2006.

John Haley

To be a senior on our team, you need to be a leader or a starter. A lot of people don't know about Clint and he is an unknown to everybody except the people on our team. Second base is solid with Clint.

Tom Woodruff

It's just a combination of a good solid quarter and some pretty solid guidance going forward.

Dan Geiman

George Bush was called a lap dog for Ronald Reagan. You have to overcome that. You have to overcome that by looking the voters right in the eye and have a solid reason why you are running for president.

Ron Kaufman

I think the key was our zone. And just getting out there and getting steals and pushing the ball up the court. (We are) just playing good, solid defense.

Juston Wara

We are very solid defensively. This team can make plays. It is one of our strengths.

Carolyn Eckhardt

Kendra stepped up and played a solid game, nearly getting a double-double.

Mychal Williams

He was using City Hall equipment, and he was doing some of it on City Hall time, ... For people who have been sitting on the fence, wanting to see more solid evidence, this is it.

Cherie Rodgers

Investors are just concentrating on high-techs and companies with solid earnings. The market hasn't been able to shift away from those two themes.

Tatsuyuki Kawasaki

I was happy with the progress of the team in the last six weeks. We played solid basketball, but tonight wasn't one of our better games.

Curt Johansen

Really, Harrisburg and Sioux Falls Christian are solid teams, and so is Dell Rapids.

Jennifer Nelson

Now that you have some third-quarter earnings coming out that might be pretty good with great visibility, you might see a little bit of move back toward the large caps. With Motorola being an indicator, you're going to get predictable, solid earnings out of the large caps and that might attract some money in here.

Vincent Farrell

We got all the facets of the game - good pitching, solid defense and timely hitting. The kids came with the right attitude, played hard and competed well.

Ryan Short

It snowed for five days solid dropping 145 centimeters.

Chris Elder

You have to be rock-solid sure that both samples came from the same person, no mix-up in the laboratory, no mistakes in the testing. This is the first well-documented case.

Patrick Dixon

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

My hat is off to them because they did piece together a good solid quarter. They were in fact pretty modest about it. They handled themselves quite well. But I don't think it says anything spectacular about the business. I think they're in a pretty lousy business. They manage it well, but managing a lousy business is not the best case.

Aram Rubinson

They're role players, but very solid contributors. They have really reached out and embraced the young kids. That was an important step for us. They've accepted their roles and showed maturity and leadership.

Frank Waters

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

Randy Gumbley

He's a dedicated player and he'll get some important at-bats. The real key is pitching. If our pitchers can keep us in the game we will be competitive. You can't sleep on any team in the Red Division or the county for that matter. From top to bottom the county is very solid.

Vin Abene

Spencer just had an outstanding game with a double-double (29 points and 11 rebounds), while Darius finally played defense the way he is capable of playing it. He will continue to be challenged to do that. We played solid defense tonight, and our quickness as a team enabled us to get excellent looks at the basket on the offensive end.

Craig Pippen

We were only down about three and we started taking some hurried shots. I was disappointed we didn't stay solid.

Dave Bliss

Hopefully we can improve on our (pitching) numbers from last year, and come conference and playoff time we should be pretty experienced. Bobby and Kyle have the ability to be dominant and Casey, Phil and Tony are solid, too.

Sean Bieterman

I don't see it happening with this team. It's been solid throughout. You look at the Gold Cup. We had so many injuries, so many different players, and we still go out and win the thing. There's a lot of confidence right now.

Kasey Keller

Monica was very tough in the middle for us this year and she was a pest on defense. She did exactly what we needed her to do this year. She was pretty much our main weapon early in the year. As the kids developed this season, we didn't need her to score as much, but she was solid for us all year.

Werner Christen

They had a great showing in the game. Those guys will really be solid. I think I have three of the best that will play on this level.

Raymond House

With Robinson, the one thing I like about him is that he is pretty solid. I don't think he has had a wobbly game. He is going to be the number one and I am pretty hopeful he will do well.

Peter Shilton

That is a solid, established and well rounded package for a country like Iraq.

Ben Bot

The few kids we had back, we knew they'd be solid. But could they influence the rest of the team?

Pat Rice

We talked about coming out and playing 32 minutes of solid basketball and I think we played 27 or 28 minutes very well.

Dusty Auxier

I feel good. There's not a lot of pressure on myself as far as having to produce big, so I can just go out there and be solid and do what I know how to do.

Wayne Simien

I'm used to them saying things about me. Everything I'm trying to do has solid legal ground. It's not a matter of racism. For me it's a matter of protecting our borders and properly enforcing our laws.

Chip Rogers

For most people, it represents a stable, solid investment in choppy waters.

Matthew Lloyd

We took second place out of 14 teams without an all-conference player. We are very solid 1-4 and each of the guys is always around 40.

Brad Rogers

That happens to us a lot. We've got good, solid guys but just can't fill the weight classes.

Greg Stevens

I think finally today we played a solid full game. We were able to control the midfield.

Brian Renno

Brother Derek has got to be the solid favorite.

Mike Battaglia

They've been No. 1 all year long and have only been beaten once. They are obviously a very talented team that we've had the opportunity to scout. There won't be a lot of surprises. They're just very solid all-around.

Kurt Kinnamon

Brittany (Strohmeyer) hit some big free throws for us in overtime, and she made a big play on the defensive end as well. We played with a sense of urgency in the second half that we lacked in the first, and Heather (Harper) was really solid for us in the second half.

Mark Hurt

He's solid at third base and a decent hitter. He's got a live arm, so he throws the ball well.

Mike Verrill

We have to focus on playing solid defense to minimize scoring opportunities for our opponents because we probably aren't going to put up the numbers we put up last year. But winning by one or two is the same result as winning by four or five.

Laura Halldorson

It's not really a conundrum because earnings have been terrific for financials and they are likely to remain solid this year.

Ken Hackel

We intended for the 'Ultimate Spider-Man'—and all the Ultimate Annuals-- to continue the tradition set by their monthly counterparts: Top creators giving the readership solid stories, beautifully illustrated.

Ralph Macchio

You just have to move forward. This team has been in this situation before, being down a couple of goals and we regrouped and came back and our character shows with another solid effort.

Cam Ward

We had a couple of guys who weren't going to throw in that game. We started (freshman pitcher) Ben Paxton, a kid who has been a solid kid for us, and he just had a bad night. We got down early, and they can really pitch.

Chris Finwood

I'm just so proud of them. We played a good, solid game from beginning to end.

Marc Higdon

The shekel remains fairly undervalued against the dollar and the euro and the overall macroeconomic picture means that it doesn't face any immediate downward pressure. Fundamentally the Israeli economy is still looking very solid.

Serhan Cevik

We've struggled more than I thought we would. We haven't had an easy time scoring a lot, but we have been pretty solid on defense.

Blair Martineau

It's amazing being undefeated so far. Hopefully, I can get a state title. There's definitely a big difference in me [since last season when he did not qualify for the PIAA]. I've been solid on my feet and solid all-around this season.

David Pisarcik

It's just hard for us playing a really solid team like an Illinois.

Dennis Emery

We match up well with Collins, but it doesn't seem like we match up as well with Rocky. They are a powerhouse. They're just a very solid team and they beat us. But our confidence isn't shaken. We've played the best and we've beaten the best. And we know we can do it on any given day.

Nick Holley

Cole's really playing well and is a solid player. He plays great defense, he can shoot the ball, he penetrates and passes the ball really well. He's just played really well.

Al Copenhaver

So far, I've been very pleased with the pitching because of other than Rivers and Ford, we really didn't know what we were going to get. Defensively, we're really solid and the offense has been productive up to now.

Mike Giovinazzo

People are discounting L.A. because of the players they've lost. But they've got a great coach and I think Pavol Demitra, with no red-line, is going to be huge. Same with Valeri Bure. And I'm looking forward to watching Mike Cammalleri play in the NHL. He had an awesome year in the AHL. And Mathieu Garon's going to be really solid in net.

Pierre Mcguire

The more time customers stay on the premises, the more likely they are to buy. From a business perspective, it's a solid idea.

Keith Morgan

That's two teams going at it. Just seeing guys go about it for 18 solid innings, and not give up one at-bat, not one pitch, it's pretty amazing.

Joey Devine

It doesn't matter who they are, we play our solid tennis. We need to play at our level of tennis. There is no up and down. They are the same team as anyone. We play one team or another - it's all the same.

Stephanie Deneau

If we can go through those (games) playing good, solid baseball, I think we've got a chance to go pretty far.

Ashley Burnett

We are glad to see solid operational performance even though a much larger-than-expected goodwill write down was taken for the AOL and cable divisions, about $45 billion in total.

David Joyce

Justin played a good solid game. Justin comes to play every night. Sometimes you can question his decisions, but you can never question his effort or his enthusiasm for the game. I enjoy watching him play.

John Imlah

Spencer looks solid. He's going to be a very strong weapon. We have creative players going laterally and we were really missing someone like him who can play in the middle.

Brad Baughan

Our pitchers were great today. They put the ball over the plate and we played solid defense behind them.

Lloyd Hulit

He's been a really solid player. His receiving skills have improved. He could play a little bit of a Ronnie Brown role, but I don't know that he would exclusively do that role.

Al Borges

Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues.

Kong Fu Zi

I switched up her role a bit. She gave us some good, solid minutes. We have some girls who can shoot, but we needed a bit of strength (inside) and she was finishing off some plays.

John Rimas

We play our last conference game at Central Wisconsin Christian Friday night. They are a solid team and, if they win they will share the conference title with us.

Bob Haffele

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.

Abdul Kalam

We had 10 hits and played very solid defense. It's great to come back and play this way after the losses over the weekend.

Shane Schueneman

The guys played solid tennis today. The wind was definitely a factor again today as it was blowing from baseline to baseline. You had to make an adjustment at every change over.

Lee Matthews

With exports to China, demand -- which had slowed late last year -- is now seeing a solid rebound, and with firm demand in the US continuing, Japanese exports are most likely to maintain brisk gains in the near term.

Taro Saito

It was a pretty solid pass. I thought the guys were going to pick it off, but it went right to him and he made a good shot.

Jason Labarbera

Give them credit, they came out and played a solid game, but I don't think we came with the drive needed, especially in a big game like tonight.

Scott Hannan

Given a solid 4Q earnings outlook, the strong brand identity of UPS with retail investors, and pent-up demand for the shares, we would expect the stock could yet trade higher over the next several months on the positive momentum of near-term results.

Scott Flower

The arrival of solid development tools makes AJAX ready for the mainstream market.

Mark Driver

It was definitely a solid day for both teams.

Gary Towne

It's going to be another solid year, and I think the market will grow because we've got so much going on on the economic side. San Antonio is to me the best housing market in the state.

Jack Inselmann

It was a solid defensive effort against a real storied program from the Bay Area.

Steve Kellar

Today's results reflect a solid third-quarter performance for our core business.

Tom Glocer

She had a lot of one putts for par. That's a solid round for her, and she was pleased with it.

Joanie Ewing

Alex has dedicated four years to the program. She was very consistent and solid for us night in and night out.

Amber Fox

We just want to get better from week to week. That's always what we're looking for. One thing we want to do is have a solid mile relay. We've got three good legs and we're looking for a fourth.

Bill Jackson

Hope is a solid defense person. She's got a very long reach that messes up a lot of forwards that are coming down. She played well tonight. Everyone played well on defense.

Chris Turley

All in all, Boeing looks to be in pretty solid shape. It's generally positive for almost all defense contractors, provided that something that looks like this proposal is what's passed.

Chris Lozier

I am pleased to have Tom here. We feel he'll provide solid leadership.

Superintendent Gene Denisar

We needed a solid win.

Lori Drumtra

The solid investment-grade ratings on Amgen Inc. reflect the strong performance of the company's newer products, the growing diversity of its drug portfolio, and its conservative financial policies. At the same time, the ratings are constrained by uncertainties about Amgen's still relatively narrow drug offering.

Arthur Wong

This was a solid start for us. Our veterans played well and the freshmen did a great job in their first competition. They had high intensity and they did a great job of putting opponents away when they had the chance.

Bill Potoczny

Certainly, it's going to be our job to try to shut that line down, but they've got four solid lines so it's important for us for each line to play their role and identify who they're up against, and try to handle that line to the best of their ability each shift.

Brady Leisenring

Steuben County showed solid results over the past year. We're seeing an upswing in the national economy, and it's being felt locally.

Joe Kozlowski

I called right away. I saw that they played (eventual state champion) Assumption very well last year, and we thought it would be a solid game.

Rick Bonnell

We have a solid team coming back. I was really impressed with our freshmen. They turned in some big scores at the OCC and at the district meet. Being a freshman at the district meet didn't seem to phase.

Marci Skeen

I am really proud of our guys. We got a lot of solid efforts.

Shane Murphy

We came out and did a great job of limiting them to runs. We definitely put together solid offensive and defensive performances.

Paula U'ren

We want the president to pick another solid conservative, and that's what we expect him to do.

Manuel Miranda

He's been solid for us all year, and we need him now more than ever.

Doug Mirabelli

This report is a sign that the manufacturing sector is on solid ground after a weak performance in 1998 and the early part of 1999.

Michael Moran

They really came through in their last two matches. I'm proud of them for keeping their focus. They beat a very solid Hastings' team.

Shawn Seiler

Those are two very solid indications that freshness as a concept for wine is a marketable, and a pretty profitable, thing to hang your hat on.

John Gillespie

That was some good solid wrestling. And a match like that only improves your skills. When you're tested you learn from it.

Ric Campo

They had some guys that were banged up and so did we. With all that happening I think we played a solid game. We didn't make too many mistakes and we buried four goals. If we can score four goals each game, I think we're going to do pretty well in the playoffs.

Bryan Bridges

The Bush administration continues to do everything it can to get around the Endangered Species Act. They continue to turn their back on solid science and ignore the advice of local biologists, all the while pushing many plants and animals to the brink of extinction.

Jamie Rappaport Clark

He's a very solid catcher, very good behind the plate. The pitchers love throwing to him. His head is always in the game.

Rocket Wheeler

Our defense played scrappy. It wasn't pretty, but this was a good, solid win for us.

Ron Crawford

I'm very happy to report we have good, solid data that will allow us to . . .start removing wreckage from the site much earlier than we would have anticipated.

Réal Levasseur

As the economy shows solid growth, Japanese bonds will stay one of the worst performing markets.

Akihiko Inoue

We had some solid defense in the back. Our defense is learning to play as a group.

Olaf Kirsten

He did a real nice job in that match. He?s been wrestling really solid the last couple of weeks and things are starting to click for him right now. He?s really excited about going to states.

Wally Caldwell

Our domestic tobacco business delivered solid income gains in a highly competitive marketplace, ... Our international tobacco business delivered strong volume and income gains, with excellent share growth across most of its key markets.

Louis Camilleri

We're just pretty solid. We don't have a superstar, but five to six real solid guys.

Louis Benevides

Bill's the type of guy you look at and say, 'He knows what he's doing. He's a solid journalist,' ... Could he be even stronger? We think he can be.

Bill Shine

Without a drummer, you have more freedom with rhythm. You're not restricted to a solid beat. You can turn the rhythm inside out.

Shane Kiel

He can create so many opportunities on his own. Luckily he doesn't have to but that's another thing he brings to the game. We are a solid team and have won our three games because we've played as a team.

Jason Turkington

The next two days it froze over solid.

Arthur Moore

We were quicker in the second half. This team really likes to pressure. When we don't take chances, and we stay solid and we wait for our moments, that's when we're good.

Doug Meacham

We feel very good about delivering solid profitability while reaching our goal of 4 weeks of channel inventory ahead of schedule.

Alfred Anderson

Productivity growth is the only possible way to achieve prosperity, to create a solid, sustainable foundation for wage increases and to ensure the country's development, for ourselves and for future generations.

Mario Draghi

But, then again, we had a break on floor. It was just a little bit untidy. We almost finished the meet off. It could have been (a great meet) with a couple more floor routines a little more solid, and a couple more bar routines a little more solidly performed.

Ray Corn

Allie really stepped up, and Allie was very strong (Saturday), she was great on defense. Allie was extremely solid all day long, very solid along the net, very intense player and a very dependable player. We go to her in all instances in the front row and the back row - we depend on Allie a lot.

Allison Spence

We're pretty solid everywhere on the field.

Brian Kelleher

People don't pay $761 million dollars unless your opponent has a pretty solid case.

Thomas Vinje

We set the tone early by coming out and playing solid defense and making them take 30 seconds before they got a shot. On offense, we tried to be patient and get the ball inside. We took good shots.

Dan Zweifel

Europe was solid as anticipated, and the U.S. exceeded our expectations and we continued to gain market share.

Henning Kagermann

We have a solid defense and a solid keeper. She made some great saves. I'm really confident in my keeper.

Nikki Green

Lafayette is a very highly regarded defensive team, so I anticipate a close match. Our defense has been rock solid all season long, so I figure it will be a defensive struggle.

Rusty Brauner

We made all those free throws, but we missed the two most important ones at the end. Then we didn't box out for the rebound on their free-throw. We just could not get anything solid going in the second half.

Carolyn Wright

We continue to forecast solid low-to-mid-teens sales growth and high-teens earnings per share growth throughout fiscal 2001 despite the crippling effects of the (weak) euro.

Glenn Novarro

We didn't play particularly well but it was pleasing that we looked so solid. We've kept three clean sheets in our last five games and that had been a problem.

Billy Reid

Those kids make up a very solid class on our team.

John Watson

Despite this anticipated seasonal slowdown, almost all industries, occupations, regions and states show much higher levels of online job availability than a year ago, demonstrating solid growth over the course of 2005.

Steve Pogorzelski

I can't fault our effort. Cardington is a good solid team.

Nick Kajca

It was good to see our offense finally get on track. Our special teams made some big plays, and our defense is still playing solid.

Chris Hatcher

I have a junior team. These kids have played a lot of baseball. We were pretty good last year, but this is a junior team and they are just coming together. I've got three pretty good pitchers. We're pretty solid.

Jim Wolfe

I think our place was solid, not great, but a 320 is far from disappointing.

John Cordes

We have six first-years trying to fill some holes in our lineup and all six made contributions on the trip and will continue to during the trip. All six will be solid players for us.

Ryan Sullivan

In the first year of our new capital structure, we delivered solid performance and shared the company's success with our shareholders.

Mike Weaver

We got good pitching and solid defense against Bethel Park. We just didn't hit.

Larry Wayman

The main difference in what they have shown is they're a lot more physical football team. They're a solid team.

Kyle Williams

The difference is depth, and the difference will be depth if Arizona State goes against Duke. Duke goes to its bench and it just gets stronger and stronger. ASU has a good, solid seven or eight, but Duke has a good solid 10.

Cindy Fisher

The numbers are pretty good and that's promising. We had a pretty good group of freshmen come in this year. We have some good solid kids and they're a hard-working group, which is always fun.

Peggy Cox

We did expect a sharp deterioration of the trade balance. The real story on the trade numbers is that the import surge reflects very solid domestic demand.

Harvinder Kalirai

Against Arkansas State, it was the first time our players stepped on the playing field to competitively play our new system. I'm pleased with the way the players adjusted to playing the different positions. Our defense was solid and the offense created lots of scoring opportunities.

Brooks Monaghan

We're trying to give a solid foundation in writing and in scientific method and in math (so that students can) go to the next level.

Roben

We played a solid, hard, clean game and all the kids gave 100 percent. The kids played well. They were satisfied at the end of the game and so was I.

Phil Crystal

It's another solid district, top to bottom. There are no weak teams in football as well as all of the other sports.

Pat Patterson

RAC had a nice finish to the year and has a solid plan going into 2006.

Bill Swanson

I thought we were pretty solid last year. We just have to have the same hunger ---- even more. We've got to keep pushing each other and keep getting better.

Randall Godfrey

We congratulate Alsea and Grupo ALDI on their new relationship and are very pleased with their commitment to further develop Chili's. With our plans for aggressive growth of the Chili's concept worldwide, we are very fortunate to have solid, experienced franchise partners driving the brand to new heights in Mexico.

Bill Simon

Solid execution in the field, a strengthening competitive position, and an improving economy contributed to results that were above expectations.

Jeff Henley

The other aspect about Aaron McKie is anyone you talk to around the NBA, he is the consummate professional, he is a leader, a standup guy who brings a big defensive presence to the court. He?s solid all the way around on and off the court. They just don?t make them like Aaron McKie.

Leon Rose

Could it have an effect on any endeavors with solid waste? It may. But leading up to that we've had cell phone towers, and we don't have consistency. We need consistency across the board.

Russ Johnson

I could not be happier to see Peachtree Ridge and Grayson having solid cross country programs, ... It's great for the county. It's great for us. The better the overall competition is, the better everyone becomes.

Andrew Hudson

They're very solid swimmers all year long. They don't have too many letdowns. They're not concerned about one meet being more important than the next.
