“I would like to believe that we can and will compete in Quad-A. But, certainly, it will be a challenge. You look at us, with 488 boys, and then you look at a program like North Allegheny for example; and there is a real difference. But the biggest difference will be in the [PIAA] playoffs, where we could see a team with over three times as many boys as us.”

“We have a $2 billion company in a $20 billion market, and our challenge is to focus on our customers and our opportunities and to execute. No one questions the opportunity that's ahead of us and the potential for Juniper to realize the magnitude of that opportunity. The work of recent months and the priority of the [future] will be to remain focused and to let our execution speak for itself.”

“He's good; he's a competitor. I've said it -- when he's on, he's one of the best in the league. No doubt about it. He's got to be our best player. Five of our last six points have been on the road, so it's been quite a challenge for us. We've got four of six at home now.”

“He's like an Energizer bunny. Now, he's getting matched up against the post players. He's a guy that can beat people down the court at that position. But he's got to rebound the ball better; that was his challenge. He got six today, he's got to get 10 right now with where we're at.”

“Dale was a valuable member of our team almost a decade ago before deciding to try his hand as a corporate controller of a publicly traded company. That experience allows Dale to bring substantial real-life knowledge of a broad range of financial and business issues that challenge our clients and solutions to help them meet their goals.”

As for my being a horror writer, I actually think horror is a very conservative genre. The horror comes when you do something wrong--when you challenge religion or society or nature--and then you must pay. I personally consider myself a radical, but I publish conservative material. That's quite a paradox.

“I told the guys we only have one choice - to rebound back in a good way. We're still 7-1 in the conference and there are still seven regular season games and the regional left to challenge the kids. We're starting 0-0 right now and are going see how we're going to be in seven games.”

A physicist that I know commented that many other scientific disciplines, such as geology, anthropology, astronomy, are also challenged by biblical fundamentalism, but their people seem to be able to get on with their work without worrying unduly. Only Darwinians seem thrown into a frenzy that sends them running to litigation and demanding censorship. His explanation was that it's a rival religion.

“The Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race draws some of the most competitive celebrity and professional drivers because it offers the high-speed challenge of real racing, combined with a worthwhile charitable endeavor. Having the mix of returning stars with firsthand experience and new drivers with their enthusiasm will combine for one of the most unique races we've had to date.”

“Sir John Eliot's Bach Cantata Pilgrimage in the millennial year 2000 remains one of the most ambitious and uplifting musical undertakings ever. Bach's sacred cantatas remain among his least known works but each one is a miracle of imagination, craft and spirituality and Gardiner responds to all the innumerable challenges of this astounding music.”
