It takes 16 weeks to train a firefighter. I'm concerned that we'll have people on the department who are not fully trained. Unless we start hiring, we'll never get to what Matrix is recommending.

Town Manager Richard Kerbel

I trained the whole off-season, ... I work out in Seattle with the Huskies. You can do everything you can off the field, but you can't prepare for practice and games. It's going to take me some time.

Cam Cleeland

I don't believe he'll start right now, but we have cleared the air extremely well. I like the way he trained (Friday), specifically. Right now, Jeff is ready to come in. I'm counting on him to play, don't know how many minutes. Nobody's guaranteed minutes in this franchise. Jeff is aware of that and, I think, is prepared to play and do whatever it takes to help this team.

Fernando Clavijo

Many years ago, I accepted a mission to serve the youth. It all began with the first batch of talented but poor scholars whom we trained for free.

Sheila Gamo

Last week I trained two OBGYN physicians at EAMC and yesterday (Wednesday) I trained six out of 22 labor and delivery nurses. I'll train more nurses on Feb. 8 and eight more physicians and the rest of the nurses on Feb. 13. Once everyone is trained, we can start collecting cord blood. We should be up and running by Valentine's Day - that's the goal. If not, it should be shortly thereafter.

Mandy Harrison

The enemy that we're dealing with is very adaptable and very smart, so we need to have realistic and challenging training to make sure that we're over-prepared, over-trained.

Col. Vernon Sevier

Our security staff will be monitoring entrances, but all of our employees have been trained in how to politely approach someone and ask them not to smoke.

Cathy Bowers

How well this hotline does its job remains to be seen. Part of having a hotline is having people on the other end who are trained to separate out what is of immediate concern and what is of lesser concern.

Arthur Levin

We have an outstanding group of doctors, nurses, therapists and administrative personnel. They are highly trained, very caring and extremely dedicated. This greatly enhances our quality of life in Austin.

Bruce Todd

Will they get down on the floor and play? Do they have the patience to paint, read and color with them? Before you know it, they are turning 12, babysitter trained and certified and eager to work!

Leah Crowley

They do spiritual music and dancing. One comes out and starts singing gospel; then the others come and join her. Their dancing is very athletic, but they are classically trained.

Vaughn Hudspath

We felt he would energize a start-up program, just (because) of the way he relates to kids. And the fact that he was trained in start-up programs was a big factor in his selection.

Manny Zafiros

Carter's approach is to try to decide what was best for the nation, ... He was trained as an engineer _ his approach was to study a problem and reach his own conclusions and proceed. It's Carter being Carter.

Merle Black

There are trained audiences here that respect dance as a form. Europe invests in its artists over the long haul.

Meg Stuart

On one hand we have received more budget allocation for tourism promotion, we will also need skilled professionals to advance its growth. More hotel management institutes will ensure more trained staff to the hotel industry. And that will lead to further growth in the sector.

Ambika Soni

The staff is trained to deliver emergency resuscitation and health care to anyone, in any situation, who comes through our doors. It matters not to the trauma system how they come to be injured.

Tom Hambly

They're shooting these pigs from the air with shotguns. It's not easy to kill a pig. They're sending in dogs that were never trained properly. It's a mess.

Rick Feldman

In Ohio, we couldn't go outside to play no matter what. We have six inches of snow, and when that melts the ground is mush anyway. We're not very fit because we haven't trained much, but it gives us three or four games that will help us out.

Mike Tracy

It's simple. We are the search and rescue because we know the trails, most of us are trained in first aid.

Peter Sirois

It should be done with the same degree of alacrity and nonchalance that you would display in authorizing a highly intelligent trained bear to remove your appendix.

Daniel S. Greenberg

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.

Peter F. Drucker

We don't recommend buying gas masks since you need to be trained to use them properly, but if you sleep better at night because you have them, go ahead and include those in your disaster kit.

Darren Irby

I don't know whether it's digital effects or if they trained a baby to bite through steel. I'm not sure what method was used.

Daniel Handler

I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.

Gene Hackman

The British are definitely comparing notes on Moroccan cells across Europe, in Italy, France and the UK. The current thinking is that the people who did this may have trained in the same camps as the people who committed the Madrid bombings. The techniques are very similar.

Charles Powell

Military personnel were telling us at the time -- they're trained to fight -- they're not trained to run a refugee camp.

Cheryl Little

This man has been trained for 14 years, since he was a boy, and he's full of hate and he's full of revenge, and he's gotten his hands on the list of the eight pilots who bombed that particular compound, and he's going to kill every one of them, ... He goes about killing three or four before Corey gets the connection.

Nelson Demille

It was really an unusual situation that university police were asked to handle. The police are well-trained and only use deterrents in necessary circumstances.

Tysen Kendig

We depend greatly on the help we get from volunteers. We have up to 20 volunteers helping out every year. Last year, they put in 4,000 hours. They are a very dedicated and well-trained bunch.

Kurt Cunningham

It's hard to get your foot in the door. There's a limited number of jobs. They're usually looking for trained people and lot of this on-the-job training.

Lonnie Ginsberg

We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

Gaius Petronius

Drivers are instructed and trained that if someone becomes disruptive, we call law enforcement. On a number of occasions, when the police have been called, it has resulted in arrest.

Kent Blackmer

[BikeNZ High Performance Director Michael Flynn was impressed with Ulmer's ride.] It was an excellent performance by Sarah, ... She has trained locally since coming back from overseas and she just loves competition.

Michael Flynn

He was one of my boys. He was just one of those scrappy little kids, who wouldn't give up. He worked hard, he trained hard and he maintained his training.

Jim Jordan

The bottom line is, we're trained to shoot to stop the threat. Hollywood has this perception that we are such marksmen we can shoot an arm or leg with accuracy. We can't. These guys were in a very tense situation. In their minds they had to believe this person was an imminent threat to themselves or the people on the plane.

John Amat

This unit is specially trained. Eat less, use less. They will sleep here tonight. They won't go anywhere.

Chamlong Srimuang

I realized I had made a big mistake (for refusing to return). I want to say sorry to my fans and to the Bayi team which trained me and gave me the chance to play in the NBA.

Wang Zhizhi

If there were a major earthquake in the state, Albany most likely would be on its own because our bridges probably would collapse and the roads would be impassable. No one could get here to help. We are now trained to do the work ourselves.

Ryan Bond

NASSCO has hired and trained hundreds of employees to build this class of ships, and this award will provide sustained employment for approximately 1,000 skilled NASSCO employees through 2009.

Fred Harris

Assisting residents of the North receive training in their own communities, so that they can gain meaningful employment in those communities, is one way that the Government of Canada is helping Northern Ontario prosper, ... This program will increase the pool of trained welders available to local industry.

Andy Mitchell

During the second phase, residents will be trained in the Incident Command System and do support work for police, EMS, public works and volunteer organizations that [offer] aid [during] a disaster, like the Red Cross.

Officer Perry Ferrera

As highly trained technology professionals that are in direct contact with the small business market, Intel Product Dealers were a natural match to support the technical aspects of the entrants' proposals. The collaboration between Mannequin Madness and Intel Product Dealer PC Club resulted in a winning blend of business understanding, technology competence and clarity of vision.

Lynn Castlevetro

We're looking at ways to get creative about how we can do the management of the calls. It's a fairly significant issue we are facing with the increasing volume of work and the aging population. The number of radiologists being trained is not meeting the need.

Dr. Kent Rohweder

What we're trying to do is to get quality people there who are trained and equipped, and in time to do something.

Kevin Klein

They are trained to go into one of three areas, ... A big university to take care of the teams, an academic center to teach, or private practice, where they will usually join a group of orthopedists or a group like this (the Body Motion Center) that specializes in musculoskeletal medicine.

James Daniels

People usually think of pet adoptions involving children and puppies. This program lets us match older, well-trained, housebroken pets with seniors. We have many wonderful, wonderful older pets looking for a home.

Ed Boks

People usually think of pet adoptions involving children and puppies, ... This program lets us match older, well-trained, housebroken pets with seniors. We have many wonderful, wonderful older pets looking for a home.

Ed Boks

I had a bit of a problem in the final last year. Some of the other Finn guys weren't too happy with me and wanted to take me out! But this year it all seemed to go alright. I've trained hard this winter and everything seems to be going to plan, so I'm pretty happy!

Fred Wright

People are trained in various capacities and can be ready to go in 24 hours. The system works very well.

Ed Waldapfel

Her style is a lot like a men's singles player but we have trained against our men's team so I knew how to play her.

Zhang Ning

I was trained to be a deadly killer. I was probably one of the Marine Corps best killers. But, I decided I'm not a killer. It was a conviction that came from my heart ... maybe between me and God.

Ernest Mcqueen

I'm not afraid to route this filly. If I had left her in New York after the Test to get acclimated to Belmont, she might have won, since she switched leads too early on that big turn, but hindsight is 20/20. Anyway, she's never trained as well as she has lately and we're really looking forward to this race.

Eric Kruljac

It was a fantastic experience. From a soccer perspective it was great because we saw professional matches and trained or played every day.

Eric Wagner

Growing up in New England, being schooled and classically trained, it needed to shake, it needed to evolve.

Emeril Lagasse

The police are badly trained and badly paid, and they're not respected. Instead of enforcing the law, they're raising the level of violence in this society.

Emir Sader

It's a misconception to think that businesses don't start hiring until November. Most want seasonal employees hired and trained by the end of October.

Ellen Davis

I was trained by my husband. He said, "If you want a thing done - go. If not - send." I belong to that group of people who move the piano themselves.

Eleanor Robson Belmont

I was trained by my husband. He said, "If you want a thing done go. If not send." I belong to that group of people who move the piano themselves.

Eleanor Robson Belmont

Clearly, this is very embarrassing, and very serious. The system is only as strong as its weakest link, and if perimeter guards aren't trained well enough to protect federal buildings, we're got a serious problem.

Elaine Shannon

For many of us it's been four years since we trained for (this mission) and its been a wonderful experience.

Eileen Collins

We'll just put a facade on. We'll put the people in the facilities, but we're not even making sure the trainers that train the officers are getting trained.

Eddie Lewis

Her racing weight is identical to her last two races. She appears in every way to have trained on from 4 to 5. She hasn't had any hiccups. The signs are right, but it is a very good race.

Ed Dunlop

After that, it just depends on how quickly we can get people trained and producing as to when there will be a third round of hiring.

Ed Buttrey
