“When I looked at who would be the best choice to lead this district, I wanted to make sure that I endorsed a candidate who shared my commitment to the families, schools, and safety of this community. Janet Reilly understands the challenges facing Bay Area families. Janet is smart, committed, and policy oriented -- I trust her to make the thoughtful leadership decisions that will truly move California forward.”

“Restraint can be tough. I've made a point to learn how to make a slow song have as much impact as a fast song. That's a challenge I've given myself, because it's easy to just get out there and blast through a bunch of things and feel as though you're exciting the audience. If you can do that with a slow song, then you really have some variety and some range.”

“I've seen almost every country do it. If you go over to Asia and you say 'team skating' they'll have no idea what you are talking about. They'll be like, 'oh that's illegal, oh really that's interesting.' It's hard, very hard. Two or three (athletes) of any of the same country in any race is hard. I'll have to overcome that and that's a big challenge.”

“We are very pleased to announce our schedule for the coming 2006 season. For the 15th consecutive year, Virginia will be the defending national champion or have them on the schedule. We have always felt strongly that the most rigorous regular-season schedule is the best preparation for championship competition. The young men who choose the University of Virginia look forward to the challenges ahead. 2006 promises to be a most exciting season.”

“With each of our customers or prospects, we go in wanting to learn as much as possible about their business and the challenges they face. We start a dialogue with the customer and help pinpoint their measurable business goals, whether they are winning more bids, increasing the accuracy of their bids or making their bids more profitable. With this understanding, we can show them, in concrete terms, how to utilize our products' capabilities to achieve those goals.”

“[l Description of poetry:] It's better to let others describe it, ... The language of Saje's poems dares the world to be delightful and I'm delighted to see it rise to the challenge. Guillevic once hoped that poetry would 'do to things what light does to them,' and Saje's poems do just that, waking up the plants, pleating the landscape like an accordion, giving fruits their Zurbaran-like precision in bowls of perfect sunlight.”

“We are not concerned with taking control of the board or taking more money at the expense of others. Our argument is that not enough is being done to enhance the commercial value of the Heineken Cup: more partners should be sought and there should be a sponsor for the Challenge Cup, a competition which is important but which does drain resources. We are not after a bigger slice of the pie: we want a bigger pie so that everyone gets more.”

“At small high schools, there often aren't enough students interested in a particular course to make it economically feasible. Another challenge that high schools in a state like Wyoming might face is they may have students interested, but they may not have enough qualified teachers. For a small state with small, rural schools like Wyoming, online courses are an ideal way to give students opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have.”

“There's a lot of work that goes into being a truly successful athlete. You need talent but you also need a work ethic to drive that talent. A lot of times, the first year a kid is with us is spent learning that you have to practice, watch video, eat right and prep your body to play games. That's the biggest challenge ? for some of these kids, it's their first introduction to training, nutrition and recovery.”

“We were just a little too casual. Just a little too casual on defense, not quite boxing out enough, not quite challenging the shooter. And the other teams were taking advantage of it. We have the talent to play with these teams, but when we don't bring our best it's not like we have a big margin for error. We just came back and took care of the little things.”
