“They're a very physical team, especially on the inside, and I don't think of our forwards as very physical, so that will be a challenge. They're also a very hard-working team and they play very well at home. We're going to have to play hard, we're going to have to play smart and we're going to have to make some shots.”

“We designed it just right. We just wanted to make sure that Kobe would not get a good look. Calvin was very instrumental in it. Kobe tried to turn and make a pass, and it just slipped out of his hand. That is a part of fatigue. He is a great player. We take the challenge to go against someone like him.”

“They're arguably a top-five team in the state. They have two of the best big girls (Wilson and Emilee Harmon) in the area. Stephanie Stevens is one of the best guards in the area, so it will be a real challenge for us. We did some good things in the first part of the first half against them, but then they pulled away from us.”

“Some may say that beer and ice cream don't go together, but we think the combination of deep, dark chocolate and the creamy stout flavor is the perfect marriage of tastes. The challenge was finding an extract that would deliver on the taste of stout. We searched far and wide and found the perfect ingredient that meets the authentic flavor of a European stout beer.”

“We definitely challenged ourselves by not putting ourselves in positions to be successful at times. All of our girls struggle with that so it was good to finish on the note they did on a nice 6-0 run. That's what you build on and that's what you take to have that confidence to know you can control the match when you choose to.”

“The biggest challenge has been getting the girls to learn how to win, which sounds weird, but there really is something to that. Some programs just think they're going to win and expect to win and some just don't know how to finish when they have the opportunity. We're learning how to win and are starting to win those close games.”

“This is one tax that voters like. Raising cigarette taxes is a win-win-win solution for state legislators and governors as they face challenges in the next few months. The evidence that voters support cigarette tax increases is clear and overwhelming. Last November, 65 percent of Washington state residents voted approval of a 60-cent increase in their tobacco tax.”

“Every day, we challenge ourselves to think of ways to improve our products, the way we manufacture them and how we can become better members of our community. I believe this packaging and labeling initiative is another step in an industry-wide movement towards becoming more aware of what goes into the products we consume.”

“Given the challenging acquisition market we are pleased to have acquired these outstanding properties. We continue to focus our growth in high growth and high barrier to entry markets. We currently have over $600 million of potential acquisitions in various stages of due diligence, and are optimistic about our ability to execute our acquisition strategy.”

“Community college marketing is highly challenging. We need to reach diverse audiences and make them aware of the high quality programs and services we offer to individuals, businesses and the community. It is impressive to see that our district and college professionals have performed so well competing with their peers in our seven-state region and also across the country.”
