You can't build a strong corporation with a lot of committees and a board that has to be consulted every turn. You have to be able to make decisions on your own.

Rupert Murdoch

My own hunch, given the president's own commitment to diversity on the federal bench, is that he is going to have a strong bias in favor of selecting a qualified woman or minority for this second seat.

Bradford A. Berenson

The men's team is strong and a couple of the guys could compete for tournament MVP. With a little luck the girls could win first because there is no quit in them. We could easily take both team titles.

Richard Hackett

We can't be precise yet on where these storms will hit but they will be strong.

Randy Lascody

Foreign interest in Japanese shares, whether it's oil money or otherwise, is very strong.

Soichiro Monji

We've enjoyed a strong start to the lawn and garden season and are pleased with our second quarter and year-to-date results. Even as retailers remain focused on managing their inventory levels, it is encouraging that our retail partners continue to support our brands. Their support allowed us to meet our internal projections for the quarter, and we are confident about our full-year outlook.

Jim Hagedorn

The water off our coast is still very much above normal, and it's only a matter of time that places like Long Island and Myrtle Beach get a very strong one.

Mark Sudduth

Sebastian is a very attractive player. He has a huge pedigree in soccer and he has a strong desire to play in the States. He has the potential to be an impact player in this league.

Sigi Schmid

Although December sales started relatively strong and picked up at the end of the month, we were not able to offset mid-month weakness, ... For the full month, traffic was up slightly, but not at the level of improvement we experienced in November.

Alan Mccollough

She's teen savvy, the kids love her and respect her, and most of all, she knows she is building strong girls. She is so passionate about what they do.

Cheryl Noller

Carmen's been a great, a strong, addition to the team. Everyone feels lucky to have her. Bring her in, she's young, but she can play with us.

Kristin Donofry

We are seeing some mixing of patterns but it's usually in small doses, as an accent here and there in a manner that doesn't detract from the primary pattern. A mix of patterns in complementary texture is very strong.

Betsy Thompson

We have a strong group. These kids are excited and have good leadership.

Mike Costello

Our objective is to develop a very strong business in Mexico and use that as a launching pad to be able to go into other countries in Latin America.

Scott Beck

His legs are very strong. You couldn't see it tonight. He's got asthma and it was bothering him some. He was so upset and down with his performance. He's one of the best on our team about taking a charge.

Rick Rudesill

Super Bowl is a very strong weekend for the Strip as it brings a good profile of gamblers into town for an extended weekend.

John Mulkey

We as a people, as a state, and as a community, have too much promise, too much potential, and too much at stake to go any other way than forward. We are too strong in our hearts, too innovative in our minds, and too firm in our beliefs to retreat from our goals.

Bill Richardson

Maggie has shown she has the tools to be an impact player. She can score and has the skills to mesh with our attacking philosophy, so we're hoping for a strong final season from her.

Randy Waldrum

We're capitalizing on the position of strength we've built, ... By aligning our business across our three anchors...we will be in a strong position to exploit our multiple sales channels and get even closer to the customer.

Leonard Roberts

I would inspect anything that's on sale to make sure it's healthy and strong and that next year's buds are set.

Roger Cook

We've adjusted really well to the pitching these last two games. If the top of our lineup is struggling, then the bottom half is strong, and that's a good thing to have.

Lisa Dey

I'm very excited. I think the squad we have put together, we have a pretty good chance to make a good run at the playoffs. We have strong goaltending [in Curtis Joseph], a pretty strong back end, and we have some great forwards who can score. I think we have a good combination.

Jean Paul Marat

If you look at almost anything else semiconductor away from Intel, they're doing better today. People are viewing the semiconductor space as being strong in general and Intel is not the bellwether it was in the past.

Michael James

[Certainly, Silver is outraged.] As the assembly member representing the Lower Manhattan community that continues to struggle . . . I was outraged by your recent suggestion that we abandon efforts to commercially rebuild, ... Your new position will undoubtedly hurt efforts to re-establish the Lower Manhattan community as a strong commercial center.

Sheldon Silver

As soon as I met Myron, you knew he came from a strong family background. You could see he did all the right things at a young age.

Ken Adams

I've said it several times; we had nothing to lose. I'm playing all freshmen and sophomores and with Russell (a senior high school lacrosse All American) there, they had to be favored. We're going to be strong from at least the next couple of years.

Tom West

We have a tough schedule, ... But we have a tough team, we should be strong.

Julie Clark

(Sibley) was a devout Baptist and believed in having a strong moral fiber. He believed that if you are in government, you ought to take some stands alongside your religious convictions.

Jack Baker

Mr. Harper's hit a home run. Wilson's the quintessential Canadian - thoughtful, reserved but very strong.

James Blanchard

The company will still record a strong result for the year ended 30 June 2003 and will remain one of the most profitable airlines in the world.

Geoff Dixon

We always knew that the environment has a very strong effect on the onset of depression. With children particularly, if you can delay the onset for as long as possible or even prevent it, you can do a great service to a child.

Myrna M. Weissman

I think that not only will an engineering program be good for Marshall, but Marshall will be good for engineering. With the strong liberal arts programs offered at the University in fields like language and science, I think that our program will produce students ready to compete in a global job market.

William Pierson

He's the Texas League champion. The first part of the season he was trying to kill everything because he's a big, strong kid. I told him to just try and put the ball in play and see what happens and he and Nick Cook have done a wonderful job for us in right field.

Cliff Toney

There is a strong core of artists who have been working to preserve Frankford for a long time. It's been very inspiring and motivating for me to start to build relationships with them.

Kate Jordan

Both Roy and Antonio have this strong desire to beat the hell out of each other. I think Jones has that spark and fire in his belly again, and it's manifested itself in the fact we have this fight.

Joe Deguardia

Something must be done when you find an opposing set of desires of this kind well to the fore in your category of strong desires. You must set in operation a process of competition, from which one must emerge a victor and the other set be defeated.

Robert Collier

We knew going into September that it would be challenging given continued inventory constraints and compared to exceptionally strong year-ago results.

Mark Laneve

We've had a strong relationship with Austria for the last eight to 10 years, and they're planning enormous things next year, too.

Nancy Laturno Bojanic

He reminds me a bit of Kingston Bay on looks and type at the same stage. Last year he was a nervous type but he's a strong galloper now and could surprise this time in.

Bruce Wallace

It is my hope that on Flag Day, all Americans take a moment to reflect on our blessings and pay gratitude to those who have made America the strong, free, fortunate nation it is. Today, we pause to pay respect to the American flag - a symbol of centuries of perseverance, pioneering and patriotism.

Roscoe Bartlett

Grand Isle is a town very much like Greencastle. Both have about the same population. Both are hardworking communities with strong values.

Paul Schemel

Strong performance across most of our power operations delivered a quarter-over-quarter increase in net earnings of almost 200 percent.

Hal Kvisle

I have strong doubts that this organization will be able to transform itself in the near future and abide by the same monitoring principles both in the West and the East.

Nikolai Lozovik

It's a very strong brand, economical, one of the strongest franchises ...

James Gillen

They are a darn good team. They are strong at the top of their lineup and strong with their bottom three.

Penny Dean

For 2006, I see very strong German exports and increasing investment, but I don't think it will have a big impact on the labor market and that's why consumption will remain relatively weak.

Juergen Michels

Intuit posted strong revenue growth and even stronger profit growth during the third quarter, ... The company's performance positions us to end the year on track to meet our stated revenue and pro forma profit goals.

Stephen Bennett

The mid-cap area of the market has been pretty strong so I think you might see a change of emphasis away from mid-cap to large-cap in 2006. I think the market should make progress somewhere in the 5-10 percent range.

David Cumming

I've played against the Korean team since the Olympic Games in Atlanta, and since then I've felt very strong about the determination by the Korean team that they don't want to lose to Japan. I'm feeling that, as well, in this tournament, against a great team. Once again, I'd like to do my best and defeat [Korea] in this round.

Nobuhiko Matsunaka

I have a very strong opinion that brands get in trouble when they lose focus of who they are. And we're not going to let that happen.

Jill Lajdziak

The report that developers are raising rents for the first time in five years showed that the fundamentals continue to be strong.

Terunobu Kinoshita

Judging from fundamentals for the yen, including strong share prices and relatively positive economic data, the recent fall of the yen is apparently overdone.

Ryohei Muramatsu

We knew that Grady was a strong team coming into the game. But we blocked out well all night and basically decided to a lot of the little things right.

Milt Travis

Strong demand is creating markets here.

Jake Lewin

I am particularly pleased with our performance in North America in the fourth quarter 2005 especially compared to an already strong performance in the fourth quarter 2004.

Chris Killingstad

We've had an accumulation of hawkish comments from the ECB and the momentum behind the European economy is now quite strong. The picture remains quite negative for the bond markets.

Cyril Beuzit

We just need everybody healthy, get everybody on the same page and in a rhythm and finish the season off strong. We need to get our confidence going.

James Posey

The housing market in Central Oregon remains strong, as the region continues to be one of the fastest-growing areas in the nation. We are very excited about being in the expanding community of Madras and look forward to making this facility a base of operation for this important market in Oregon.

Phil Cox

They came to play. So did we but . . . they're strong, intense and have good sportsmanship, too. We made mistakes early, and they capitalized on them.

Kevin Collier

I felt really good. I felt strong.

Rich Harden

TSA has established a strong, layered system of security in the air cargo arena and recognizes the need to do more.

Yolanda Clark

We really came out on our heels and it showed, with CD East scoring within the first six minutes. CD East came out strong and scored quickly.

Stacy Poe

The market is responding to strong economic fundamentals - there is no inflation and there is the awareness that the Asian contagion won't cripple us.

Alfred Goldman

Strong-headed ... not unlike me.

Debbie Rowe

I think there's a strong probability that digital sales will start to compensate for the decline of physical sales for the global recorded music industry this year.

Mark Harrington

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

Orison Swett Marden

Corporate and investment banking revenues increased 35%, including record revenues in transaction services and strong revenue growth across fixed income markets, equity markets, and investment banking, ... In Smith Barney, revenues grew 13%. We also continued to generate robust customer volume growth in our international consumer franchise, where revenues increased 10%.

Charles O. Prince Iii

I'm sure it's a number the Green campaign and the Doyle campaign are paying real close attention to. I know the Doyle campaign has been doing all it can to bolster that number because it hasn't been a terribly strong suit of his. He's never really been highly popular.

Rodd Freitag

Low interest rates have really been powering these markets. The ECB is worried it is signaling inflation further down the line, but in the U.K. you have had very strong house-price rises, and no real pickup in general price inflation.

Milan Khatri

Bankruptcies are down, deposit growth and credit card income is strong, and delinquencies are down.

Wayne Bopp

It is easier for fructose to be made into fat than for glucose to be made into fat. Additionally, there is a relatively strong literature showing negative consequences of fructose compared to glucose with respect to raising fatty substances in the blood.

Joanne R. Lupton

We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Grant Thornton, which has a strong national reputation and a regional structure and capability that's well suited for a public company of our size and needs.

Bruce Davis

This Mardi Gras is about more than greed. It's a shout-out to everybody, and we're coming back strong.

Julio Cesar

It is crucial that we time our new products ahead of major events. My biggest challenge is whether our sales strategy will be strong enough to compete with bigger rivals on a global scale.

Makoto Ebata

It was tough (in the first half). I couldn't believe it was happening, because we thought we would come out strong. I think most of us were scared that we'd lose this championship, so we decided to step up.

Kathleen Nash

The market has traded very poorly. Gold is trading above $600, which is indicative of the inflation outlook. Then there is fear about a strong jobs number tomorrow.

Frank Hsu

We came out strong in the first half on both ends of the court.

Rodney Vigil

We came out with a sense of urgency and we played strong in the first half. They turned up the half-court pressure in the second and some of our inexperience showed. It was frustrating.

Tim Poole

I want to make clear that the chief and I share the strong conviction that our police officers must set an example for the entire community, ... The hypocrisy of ?Do as I say, not as I do' is not acceptable.

Jan Mills

We want to keep it that way. That?s why we send a strong reminder to people in bear country every spring.

Michael Seraphin

He learned from the guy ahead of him. He's a real smart kid, he makes good decisions, he's got a strong arm, he's a great leader and a real good field guy. The guys believe in him.

Joel Bertsch

We have some exciting kids to watch. Overall we may not be as strong as we have been in the past.

Mike Flakus

Here is only one reason why men become addicted to drugs, they are weak men. Only strong men are cured, and they cure themselves.

Martin H. Fischer

I think St. Charles always excelled at restaurants. Geneva always was strong in retail, but it lacked a little for restaurants.

Doug Summers

Domestic and overseas demand are relatively strong. The conditions for lifting the policy have been put in place objectively.

Terunobu Maeda

He galloped out pretty strong. He felt good when he came back. He was playing around the barn. It didn't take too much out of him.

Bob Holthus

China's economy is expected to continue its extended cycle of strong growth, thanks to the pivotal role it plays in the global supply chain. China's solid manufacturing base is essential to neighboring Asian economies, which export key electronic components. Its emerging middle class and growing consumerism will continue to attract capital goods and luxury items from the rest of the world.

Gene Huang

Yes, I've often asked, 'Why me?' ... But I have a very strong faith, and I feel that this is what God meant for me to do. I need to get the word out and to be a good example to show that you can have a good quality of life.

John Parrish

There's a very strong correlation between those data sets.

Glenn Jones

It was an obstacle that Jonathan could overcome. I know Jonathan was strong enough to face the challenge head on and he did that. He was an inspiration and a very special athlete for us.

Roscoe Googe

For the first time there are strong grounds to believe that corruption is worse now than in the last government.

Ricardo Guedes

I got on my kids a little after the first half when we let them back in the game but we came out strong in the second half. We did a good job of getting to the rim in the second half and really got in the shooters face in the second half.

Harry Bosley

Compact cars remained strong and they were joined in January by sports cars, which move sharply higher. Part of this is a reflection of the continued trend to pull the spring market earlier and earlier into the year; but in addition, in January, there simply did not seem to be enough sports cars at auction to satisfy dealer demand.

Tom Webb

The low pace of jobless claims suggests that the labor market is expanding at a solid pace, and that the economy has been strong enough to absorb higher energy costs.

Sophia Koropeckyj

We chose to play as many as we could to give our more inexperienced players the opportunity to play against strong players.

Linda Gilliland

Charlie is the epitome of a team player. He is a tireless worker on the court and leads by example with his positive attitude and strong work ethic.

Bob Lasbury

This conflict is one thing I've been waiting for. I'm well and strong and young - young enough to go to the front. If I can't be a soldier, I'll help soldiers.

Clara Barton

It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.

Francis Bacon, Sr.

One of our strongest aspects of play this season has been a strong defensive system.

Nick Roefaro

It can be really hard to have a life as a pet sitter. You are literally holding that animal's life in your hands so you have to make a very strong commitment.

Lorraine Zdeb

I think we've got as good of a shot as any team. Every point is going to count. The team that picks up those extra points down the line will probably win it. We're pretty strong at the top. We need the rest of our entries to get as many points as they can.

Bob Jenkyns

We split with Hartford during the regular season, with the home team winning each time. They play strong defense, and we will need to pressure them.

Terry Chamberlain

We are very pleased that we will be able to give our students hands-on knowledge of the galaxies above them. For years Scotia-Glenville had a very strong astronomy program. Thanks to this donation, we look forward to that happening again.

Randy Jenkins

They're not a high-scoring team. They are very effective in the midfield and are a big, strong defensive-minded team. They take pride in scoring one or two goals and making it stand up.

Hans Kleinschmidt

It's a fantastic start to the season. The girls definitely won on the strength of their team effort. They had several strong finishes, but nobody in the top 10.

Rob Parish

The U.S. economy is performing so admirably right now, it is hard to believe how good it is. We have strong growth, declining inflation, strong profits, rising real wages. All of these things are happening at the same time and there is no sign that any of this is about to end.

Bruce Steinberg

Right now, we need to tear off the rear-view mirror and look forward to our final two events. The nice thing about Nordic is there's a lot of emotion in the race. We can still dig deep and rise above tonight's events to put together a strong performance for the win.

Kurt Smitz

In the district meet, you have to have good depth. We've had good depth the last few years. The key for us this weekend was we knew where we were seeded and we knew what we had to do. You don't beat teams like Plano West and Flower Mound without having a strong roster from top to bottom.

Craig Harris

Deteriorates markedly further from here, and threatens the strong business investment outlook.

Anthony Thompson

There are three weeks left. We're going to finish strong.

Jorge Cantu

Being on the track is like being in any workplace. You have to have the right personality, have confidence, show that you know what you're doing but not come on too strong - and then you will earn respect.

Milka Duno

He's a big, strong player. He uses his body well, he skates. He's playing with a ton of confidence, and he has a good supporting cast around him.

Ric Jackman

I don't think he said anything that wasn't true. A strong democracy has a strong voice of the people.

Kot Hordynski

Every question to Roberts is obviously a question to the next nominee. They are sending a signal to Bush about where Democrats will engage in a strong fight and where they will be willing to allow the next candidate to flow through.

Julian Zelizer

It's tough to stop him. He'll beat you from the outside, he can drive on you. He beats you inside, he's big, he's strong. He's definitely a solid player without a doubt. He was just too tough.

Dean Duquette

You never try to lose focus. You know they are going to come back strong, too. You just have to fight it, and I think we did a good job. They just made a few plays.

Dane Krogstad

Canadian income trust funds made a modest comeback following the federal government's decision to enhance the dividend tax credit in response to issues regarding income trusts. The industry leading categories ? Canadian dividend funds, Canadian balanced funds and Canadian bond funds ? continued to bring strong net new sales in November.

Tom Hockin

I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society, events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion, and not on the opinion of the masses.

Yitzhak Shamir

It's a strong brand and we are pleased to have taken it on board.

Rob Lindsay

In the next five years we will most likely spend $1.5 billion to $2 billion in Brazil on development. We will be creating a footprint that is very strong.

Ali Moshiri

The biggest obstacle is finding people [tenants] willing to partner, and getting a strong public consensus that this is what we want to do at Fairmount Park. Some people believe it should be more of a passive park.

Matthew Rader

The industry itself is very strong and on the rise, but the stocks are not very much alive. The Street doesn't really like the unpredictability of the industry.

Robert Peterson

One of the reasons we had such a strong month is we were able to keep our expenses in check compared to our revenue.

Jim Little

He is a very strong competitor. He is a quiet leader who leads by example.

Bob Holloway

The difference tonight was we didn't communicate on the field. (Trinity Prep) won every single ball. They jump well; they're a good, strong team.

Blendal Elias

We are really appealing to people who are strongly against the war; that is a really strong issue for us. The theme of our campaign is 'A Million Votes for Peace,' and this is a chance for activists to really get to vote and speak out against the war.

Forrest Hill

I think this is a very strong message coming from the U.S. government.

Dr Margaret Chan

The risks are going up nationally, but they're mitigated by a strong labor market and strong economy.

Mark Milner

It's worthless to talk about now. He was like my big brother. He annoyed me, but I got along really well with him. You truly connect with people. I considered our friendship to be unique and strong, but, in comparison, it wasn't as important as a million dollars.

Julie Berry

Australia has also got a pretty strong brand among India's middle classes.

Tim Harcourt

A 47 percent increase in venture capital investment is a very strong sign we're doing things right.

Justin Wright

I don't think that China and Russia, at the moment, are going to support or even allow a decision to impose meaningful political or economic sanctions against Iran to go through. And that's not necessarily because Russia and China have a strong economic relationship with Iran, but because they fear, I believe, the rapid escalation of this crisis.

Daryl Kimball

Whether it's 7 percent or 7.3 percent the point remains the same: Growth is really strong and what's obviously an issue is how long this going to continue and what are we going to see going forward for the first few quarters of 2000.

Stephen Slifer

I strongly believe that a federal structure based on administrative and geographic lines with strong powers for the federated states will be the best solution for Iraq.

Ahmed Chalabi

You could make a very strong and persuasive argument that Katherine Harris is responsible for George Bush being the president of the United States. That argument being made, it would seem to me her IOU list would be infinitely long.

Tom Slade

She's got a pretty mean stare on her. She's got big shoulders, she's strong, and she doesn't take any crap on the court. She was not the person I wanted to be guarding in practice my freshman year. I was intimidated by her.

Jessica Foley

There was a high degree of enthusiasm for the Internet. There was legitimate exuberance about its potential, combined with an unprecedented and strong stock market.

Warren Huff

We must lead in a different way, ... We must have an active president, who gives strong direction and works with the government for its implementation.

Lionel Jospin

A large part of my life revolves around my dad. Sometimes, I even feel a strong sense of connection, something very tangible when I learn something new in the martial arts.

Brandon Lee

This is an orderly belt-tightening. Expense growth has been overshadowed by strong revenue growth, ... What is really driving the issue here is that even the most optimistic firms cannot expect to sustain revenue growth at these levels.

Michael Flanagan

Although recruitment and real estate have remained strong all year, we did not see the hoped-for turnaround in auto in August.

Tony Ridder

We're looking for hard-working individuals who recognize this as a great professional opportunity and possible career path into federal service. Our ideal candidate has equal parts desire to protect the flying public and strong commitment to America's security.

George Naccara

The labor market seems to be fairly robust. Strong employment means income growth, and that means people have more money in their pocket.

Bart Melek

This research, the U.S. portion of a global omnibus study, reinforces that this is a complicated and evolving marketplace. Consumers have a strong preference for print Yellow Pages. However, for local advertisers targeting certain demographic segments, online media should factor strongly in the promotional mix.

Neal Polachek

We've been somewhat concerned with transportation companies, trucking, mainly because of the fact that we're not in a very strong economic recovery.

Michael Carty

We don't really know what to expect, but we tend to think it's going to be as strong as our first show. Buyers wrote orders. They got into a feeding frenzy.

Dave Palmer

The responses of human beings vary greatly under dangerous circumstances. The strong man advances boldly to meet them head on. The weak man grows agitated. But the superior man stands up to fate, endures resolutely in his inner certainty If ignorant both.

I Ching

The results reflect a strong, solid and successful market - there were some very high prices but participating collectors remain focused and controlled.

Christopher Burge

I'm excited. It will be new, tough competition. I think we'll fare well. We have a strong team and a good group of kids.

Kathy Cummings

We have a very strong case against him, and as far as motive, it doesn't matter. Our case is rock solid.

Warren Strain

You're not going to be able to find one thing that is going to be the be-all and end-all in obesity in kids. I don't think any one thing is going to have a strong effect, but if we don't start to do some of these things now, we don't have a chance in hell of reducing obesity.

Cathy Nonas

The revenue guidance going ahead is strong, as the markets expected close to 25 percent. Along with the bonus offering, these numbers should be positive news for the markets.

Naresh Garg

He likes our facility. He wanted to do this for the fire departments. We figured let's try this out -- it could certainly benefit us. They're the No. 1 radio show in the city of Pittsburgh, and they have a strong following. We were one of four that were selected.

Mark Ferguson

CRH is a company that's consistently delivered value. It's got strong management and they've performed well organically and through selective acquisitions.

Michael Joynson

I see lots of support for it in the states. I think smart governors know, all governors know, that if you don't have an educated work force you're not going to have a strong and thriving state economy.

Margaret Spellings

He's got a little ways to go yet, but he's in Triple-A ball and he does well handling the pitching staff. He's got a good, strong arm. He's just got to get used to playing every day now and being consistent. No matter what happens, we're not afraid to bring him up because we know he can catch.

Patrick Dempsey

Together we will work towards achieving this noble mission with a strong, reformed and revitalized United Nations at the centre.

Yahya Jammeh

It was civil and the parties were reasonable. But I could tell there were strong feelings on both sides, both parties believed very strongly in the correctness of their positions.

Rick Dantzler

One strong point for the government is the test on pricing from [Massachusetts Institute of Technology economics professor] Franklin Fisher, who indicated Microsoft charges prices that are higher than they would be in a competitive market. That's the kind of thing the government wants on appeal.

Harry First

Marquette has had a lot of close matches with teams that we've had close matches with. So we knew it was going to be a close match. In addition, they are very strong at doubles. They've beaten two teams that we've lost to for the doubles point. So going in, we knew they were pretty strong at doubles.

Mickey Cook

This is a strong portfolio of brands.

A.g. Lafley

They confirmed they are a strong team, which is what we had said about them before the match. It was a very hectic match. This group will continue to be interesting.

Tomas Rosicky

He was a strong young man to deal with what he was dealing with. He battled hard.

Katherine Smith

The second chance points killed us a little bit. Obviously, they aren't as big as us. But they are strong and quick.

Brad Pickett

We've got to go on the road for a couple of games. We let some slip away here at home. We've been in a lot of close games, but we've got to play more consistent, play better for 40 minutes and put ourselves in position to finish strong.

Benjamin Betts

Our trust and estate practice has always been a strong suit for us. These additions will be very beneficial and will add significantly to our bottom line.

Robert Bell

Sen. Shelby does continue to hope to be able to pass strong GSE regulatory reform legislation in 2006.

Andrew Gray

It will be different in different places. In some places, governments are strong, Iraqi units are good, the ethnic balance is benign, (and) they are already running things.

Genjohn Abizaid

But the relationship was not as strong. But the point is, in women, whether it was verbal or non-verbal intelligence, brain size was positively correlated — that means the bigger the brain, the better they did.

Sandra Witelson

Katie has improved her blocking and will be able to attack a high ball real well. Ashley has improved her quickness and the technical part of her game. Erin is healthy and is looking strong. Erica anticipates well. Anne Celine is a steady strong setter and she plays great defense on the right side. She is the hardest worker on the team. Val is more poised and she has improved her defense play.

Joann Holverson

He had some options. Clearly this was a strong religious teacher.

Tony Somlai

I'm really pleased that we have real strong balance in our program right now. What we're working on right now is maintaining the level of play and getting our bench more involved because we really have a tough schedule coming up.

Fred Thacher

The results are generally in line with expectations. But growth in net profit in 2006 will not be as (strong) as in 2005.

Faisal Hasan

The fact that they were more physical, they could establish anything they wanted on the football field. They have two strong backs. They are strong runners, and we didn't do a good enough job against that.

John Barton

He's done very, very well. He started last year for the most part and has remained the starter this year. He needs to keep improving, getting better day in and day out and becoming a big, strong, hard, nasty defender.

Colin Clarke

Their desire to give and to help is extremely strong, but it could've been even greater if the economy hadn't been so sluggish.

Sheila Consaul

This is really a great dual-meet tournament. There's a lot of parity, and not parity in the sense of mediocrity. There's parity in the sense that there are several very strong teams. Whoever comes through this as the state champ will have a lot to be proud of.

Jim Tonte

It certainly is signaling there is financial stress on Northwest. It's telling everyone they may now be looking at bankruptcy as a strong option.

Joel Denney

I mean, we just have to...I don't know. We just have to be strong in there.

Torin Francis

We continue to see strong interest among parents for options that keep children entertained in the vehicle.

Jeff Taylor

They clearly came in stronger than we expected. The marquee footwear line has been very strong.

John Shanley

At least top three. A lot of times wins are out of your control, so all he can do is try to finish off strong with his last three (starts) and get his win total up a little bit — and hopefully his other numbers are strong enough to persuade some people to go that route.

Joe Nathan

Profit news continues to be good, and we are seeing some relief from the profit taking of the last few weeks. But there is an ongoing tug-of-war between 'we've come too far too fast,' and 'the economic recovery is strong' and you're seeing that played out on a day-to-day basis.

Douglas Altabef

As the law is written there are really no strong consequences if a perpetrator does not come forward and is later discovered to not have told the whole truth. It would be good to put in place adequate mechanisms to fully honor the right to truth. For that you need full confessions.

Michael Fruhling

There is no question that ethanol is competitive and that it is already replacing some foreign oil. And I think Michigan is clearly on its way to creating a strong ethanol industry.

Tony Simpson

We consider this a strong endorsement of the company and its leadership.

Gary Ginsberg

It was a game we had to win and we came out strong. Now we head into Wednesday's game (at home to Macedonia) confident, but we have to go in just as seriously and just as determined.

Karel Bruckner

We are pleased that our strong top-line momentum continued this quarter across all operating divisions and on top of the outstanding growth achieved in the year ago period. We are especially encouraged that global pricing was positive for the first time in two years, despite difficult cost and competitive environments.

Reuben Mark

We are definitely building this year. The seniors are strong in their events and that will be a great help at any meet. The juniors, although a small crew, have good experience. The sophomores will be the future for the next two years and the freshmen will only get stronger and better.

Jeff Hanson

The change from 'likely' to 'may be' takes away any strong signal they'll be raising rates.

Dean Maki

She's going to be a strong player.

John Rodriguez

We're still seeing the effect of Hurricane Wilma in the marketplace but, as we expected, that effect lessened somewhat in January from the previous month. The increases for individual home prices and total sales volume indicate residential real estate remains strong in South Florida.

Ragfl President Dori Longhini

We played strong and hard tonight and made the sacrifices. We played tonight to win and not just to survive.

Julie Davis

According to the dog's owner, they had been walking along the beach when Harriet ran into the river mouth to greet an approaching boat when she suddenly appeared overcome by the strong currents and was rapidly swept away into the sea.

Craig Lambinon

Depth is going to be a strong point for our team. We've got a lot of athletes who can move, so we're working on their footwork and mental toughness.

Matt Kuk

By achieving its technology milestones, OATH stands as a growing and influential force in establishing specifications for an open-standards-based approach to strong authentication. We're delighted to be a part of this industry-wide movement to make it simpler for enterprises and individuals to conduct secure online transactions and communications.

John Gunn

Swain played a good, strong pressing defense against us, and we didn't handle it well in the second half. But a win is a win, even if it isn't pretty.

Joe Carrington

We prided ourselves on playing really strong defense and having the defense create the offense for us. We'd force a steal or turnover and we would end up going down the court on a fast break and scoring very easily.

Barbara Jacobs

We came out very strong and went after them on both ends of the court.

Jim Scheible

While traders and investors have focused on strong demand growth, sizable additions to supply have largely been ignored.
