Challenge Quotations | Page 8

I think generally, people were pretty pleased that it wasn't as widespread as it could have been. But it's still a challenge for those schools, and we want to make sure they're cleaned up.

I think God put me on this world to challenge big companies.

I think guys are learning defensive principles and where they're supposed to be on the basketball court. So hopefully we can go out there and execute on the defensive end. It's a good challenge for us to see where we are.

I think he did challenge the Democrats, unlike any modern Republican presidential candidate, on the question of the basic direction of American government, particularly as it dealt with domestic policies and domestic economics, ... And it did shift the grounds of the debate.

It feels better to see our kids playing with passion. I'm really proud of these guys. They responded to the challenge tonight.

Kate will bring unquestioned integrity, values and work ethic to the lieutenant governor's office, ... She is not afraid to challenge the status quo, and she believes, as I do, that Nebraskans are not satisfied with 'pretty good' or 'good enough.' With Kate on our team, I am convinced more than ever that we can transform Nebraska into a world-class performer on every level.

Katie will be the brand of CBS News...You will see her face attached to every CBS product out there. Katie has 15 years of history with people...That's the power of celebrity. The challenge for CBS will be to produce a compelling enough newscast to keep those curiosity seekers who sample the show coming back.

Ken Dobson has proven his driving expertise in a number of different series and he certainly knows the fast way around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca better than most drivers. In fact, Ken literally dominated some of the Spec Miata events held at our home track over the past few years. So, it's great to have him back and in a Mazda6 at the Speed World Challenge Touring Car finale. The Tindol Motorsports team has proven they are serious contenders this season and their strong effort has helped keep Mazda in contention for the championship. With Tindol bringing a second Mazda6 to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for Ken, our arsenal is obviously stronger now.

I think the music industry will have a strong challenge working in these kinds of environments.

I think the publishers are making efforts to shift their business models, and they recognize that the Internet is more and more important. The challenge is to get paid for it.

I think the key really, is that they played so hard. They played so determined. Our challenge was: what do you do when you have to. There are some teams-and I've coached them-when you have to get it done, you didn't get it done.

I think that's going to be a big challenge to us. And (their) wing-T offense is very deceptive offense.

I think that's the biggest challenge because we definitely thought we were in the NCAA Tournament. Guys really don't want to be in the NIT, but it's something to build on for next year.

I think that's the thing. As coaches, we have to do a great job of being innovative and yet focusing on the things that really matter in football. That will be our challenge with this group in the spring.

I think that that was a challenge for us mentally but we need to figure out how to deal with those kinds of situations because that's part of the game.

I think that the difficulty for Al Gore is that he started with the sense that the nomination was coming his way, that major opponents like (House Minority Leader) Dick Gephardt and (Nebraska Sen.) Bob Kerrey dropped out. I don't think he realized how formidable the challenge would be coming from Bill Bradley or just in general.

I think that the filmmakers entering the field today are from the first generation to openly challenge the legitimacy of religion.

I think we are as good as most teams in the West. When we are healthy we will challenge most teams.

I think the main challenge will be running 800 miles every weekend, but I'm looking forward to it. I think I needed to run both, just being a (Busch series) rookie last year. There'll be times when I wish I hadn't done it, but I needed to do it so I'll live with the decision.

It is a little bit worse than last year. Cesar Chavez is going to be a challenge in league, and obviously Union is again too. We have some tough games left in this tournament.

It is also 10 percent of your population without food and facing starvation -- that is going to challenge any economy.

It is a huge challenge and it is huge fun, but it is not a toy.

I thrive on proving myself. I think there is a certain side in all of us that wants to get comfortable, and not that there is anything wrong with that. What I think it really gets down to is challenge and opportunity versus doing what you have been doing.

I think it's quite a challenge for our team, with four weeknight games and three of those on short weeks. I'm not in favor of playing three weeknight conference games on the road, because of the class time we miss, but television dictates most of our schedule.

I think it's the fun and the challenge as an actress to get a meaty part like this and sort of play against type. Sally is pretty far from who I am, so I definitely enjoyed it.

I think this is the right way. In my opinion, coaches don't get to see replays in the booth, so we don't know whether to waste a challenge or not. That guy in the booth has to make a decision. He's just like a referee. I like the way it works.

It has been a great challenge to directly measure the cells' changing mechanical properties continuously as the parasite matures inside the cell.

It has been a great process, ... It has been really fun to put the thing together with the challenge of trying to replace really terrific football coaches. Now we have to go out and prove what we're all about. There is a lot of scrutiny and question marks that I think are valid, but I think this group is going to do a great job.

It has been a great story -- strong growth and no inflation and low interest rates, but my bet is that one area that will be a little bit of a challenge to stocks will over time be interest rates.

It happens every year. We faced Michigan and they had the No. 1 rushing defense. Then you go against Iowa, they had the No. 1 rush defense, then you go against Alabama, they so-called had the No. 1 rush defense. It's nothing we've never faced. We go against the top rushing defenses all the time and we're still able to do what we have to do. It's just another big challenge for us.

It hardly seems constitutional that there is still no individualized suspicion requirement and that a recipient of a subpoena must wait a full year to challenge a gag order.

It has been a really big challenge to keep him caught up, but I've never met anybody that had a better attitude. He smiles more than almost anybody in any one of our other classes.

It goes without saying to this group that there could be no bigger challenge than to try and plan effectively for pandemic flu.

It gives us an opportunity to challenge ourselves. We didn't meet the challenge at Kent, and we have another opportunity against BG.

I think that new technologies are starting to challenge some of the old technologies.

I think that one of the lessons in history is that if any party has too much control, the danger is that they will go overboard. The challenge for this administration is going to be to keep control of things.

I think we have the team to challenge Newman/Haas next year,

I think we have a good shot at worlds. The door is opened a little bit further for us to challenge for that gold medal, and hopefully one year, if not this one, we can get that first American title.

I think we knew that we were the underdogs, and I think that was a great position in which to be coming into a final game, and the guys were up for the challenge from the word 'Go!'. Even from the day before the match, we knew that if we played good cricket, we would come out with the Cup at the end of the day.

I think we used the situation to challenge each other, and we pushed each other to be better. I thought David really did well, and I think it helped the team.

I think we were excited about playing, and the challenge of facing South-Doyle -- a very good team. Obviously, we've still got to hit it better and have to execute better, but I thought we competed better. It's like we're one of this, or one of that away.

I think we were ready for the challenge of what was in front of us. We did what we've done all year.

I think you form a bond of different personalities where even without saying a word you challenge each other to be good. You don't want to be the weak link in the chain.

I think you're seeing in our team the realization of how difficult this challenge is, how hard it is, is starting to grasp everybody. I think you'll see our team starting (today against the Czechs) to dig in at a whole new level.

It can be a challenge at the beginning, but if the kids are focused, I think you can tune a lot of that out.

It can be a challenge for (flight crews) who aren't medical professionals. Outwardly, a respiratory infection can look like a common cold.

It can be a challenge working with volunteers. I cannot fire them when they drive me crazy. But on the other hand, they give me and the shop so much! When my parents died within three months of each other, the Gift Shop?s volunteers gave so much of themselves in love and support. They took great care of me. Volunteers are special people.

I think it caught the end of my stick. I wanted to challenge him, but it was just a bad break.

I think it is wise. Hers is a bad story and when you are in the middle of a bad story, the overriding challenge is to get it out of the press. You can't spin this story. The best PR advice she can get in my view is to keep her mouth shut and decide against trying to upgrade her image.

I thought we played very well given the challenge presented to us, especially in the second half. It was a real learning experience for all of our players. I have to thank Real Salt Lake for giving us the opportunity.

It always feels good to be in the championship game, any conference, any time. This league has been a tremendous challenge and we're excited to be playing (today).

It baffles me. I honestly don't know how they do it. They're put in an environment that is designed to challenge every part of their lives.

I think it is always a challenge when you face PV. It's a challenge because they are always athletic. Once again, they have really good team speed.

I think it'll be a challenge for all the providers to accommodate the level of demand that we may see, and a lot of that demand is not known yet.

I think it's a challenge for Lieberman to reconnect to the rank-and-file of the party and prove he is an authentic Democrat.

I take my hat off to the guys because they rose to the challenge today. We knew what had to be done and we went out there and did it. We had a fairly frank talk at training and, as a result, we played with the required intensity today. I thought that we commanded the game.

I talk about... the privileges Aboriginals enjoy over other Australians. I have done research on benefits available only to Aboriginals and challenge anyone to tell me how Aboriginals are disadvantaged when they can obtain 3 and 5% housing loans denied to non-Aboriginals.

I think it's going to be a challenge for us. But we got a chip on our shoulder. The offensive line wants to be known as one of the best lines and for having one of the best running games in the league.

I think it shows that a challenge would be very difficult, but very doable.

I think it's because of my athleticism that I'm able to compete with these younger guys, ... ... I relish the challenge. I challenge myself to go out at 60 and play the same golf I did at 50.

It is a challenge and I do think it fits together well.

It is a challenge in general to change an image, especially the image of an entire product category.

It is a challenge to do a movie like this right. It will be completely legitimate, as close to the truth as possible.

It is a challenge to find not just housing but safe, affordable, suitable housing. Those are three key words: safe, affordable, suitable. You can find housing, but it's often not going to meet those three criteria.

It is a challenge to get all the stakeholders to the table and reach agreement.

It is a challenge to keep them motivated, but they motivate themselves. We just approach it that everybody that swims brings out the best in each other.

It is a challenge to perform for 50 straight minutes. It is an aerobic workout, but an enjoyable and exhausting challenge. We get our energy from the audience. It is great to go out there and see 6,000-7,000 people singing and dancing.

It is a challenge to place a dollar value on the important work volunteers do for millions of charitable organizations and communities across the country. But this number can help put into perspective the enormous contributions provided by our nation's volunteers.

It is a challenge when you only have three defensemen and sometimes they have to play both ways. The guys get tired, which is why Amity scored both their goals off of turnovers.

It is a big challenge for our party, ... Today we can no longer take any soft money at our national party committees, so it is a whole new world for all of us.

It is a big challenge for us, there is no doubt about that,

I thought we really stepped up to the challenge is this game. We were able to answer their runs. When they went on another run, I thought we really buckled down.

I thought the biggest challenge we had was prioritizing ... to try and pick and choose what we weren't going to do as much as what we were.

I thought they were going to challenge (the secondary) and throw the ball downfield. We were surprised when they kept going at us with the run.

I thought we had it, man. He came in there and did a pretty good job. After the full count he had to challenge him, I guess.

We need a challenge. We should challenge to win districts. We didn't have everybody going and healthy (Thursday) and we're going to have have to use our numbers and nickel and dime our way to win districts.

We never talked about it, never had to challenge ourselves any more than usual. We wanted to play well and win. We felt we had the best team, so every time we played, we thought we should win.

We now have to plan an assault on trying to win promotion. It's a big challenge but one I feel everyone here can achieve,

We need series like the NAPA Auto Parts Rocky Mountain Challenge Series competing here at IMS. Race fans will have a lot of fun and see a great race as we have put together a fantastic racing lineup this weekend.

I was a sickly child and couldn't digest food. Preparing food for me was a challenge for my mother, but when I got older I began to do it. I think because of that I've always had an interest in nutrition.

I was not happy about giving (the grand slam) up, but I had to challenge the hitters because it was the seventh inning and we had a 7-1 lead.

I was not prepared for the resulting attention. Besides disliking the diminishment of privacy and the inhibiting quality of feeling watched, I valued my anonymous, boring life. In fact, I didn't see how I could write honestly without it. A year later, I moved out west, got an unlisted phone number, stopped giving interviews, and tried to fly as low under the radar as possible. Of course, some reporters took this as a personal challenge to intrude, but in general, my quiet life let me concentrate on my work.

I wasn't comfortable last night. I think it's going to be a challenge for me all week. I don't try to deny anything, but maybe my game will start feeling a little better as the week goes along.

Today's event exhibits how DaimlerChrysler, BP, Praxair and LAX are taking on the challenge for industries and governments to create viable alternative-fuel solutions. We're pleased to be a driving force in this team effort to develop fuel-cell technology.

Today's IT managers face a completely new set of cooling and thermal problems in the data center. In a traditional data center environment higher temperatures are addressed by supplying an over-abundance of cooling to the room, which is extremely wasteful and ultimately cost prohibitive. In addition to heat density issues, IT equipment loads are becoming more dynamic, exacerbating the challenge of maintaining an acceptable thermal 'rate of change' in accordance with ASHRAE Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments. Simply put, cooling IT equipment too quickly can be just as dangerous as allowing it to run too hot. To effectively address these new realities, cooling solutions must not only minimize the mixing of hot and cold aisle airstreams and deliver dynamic cooling and airflow performance, but also properly match the fluctuating IT equipment heat loads and airflow.

Transparency into the business is definitely a challenge with these kinds of companies.

Travelling on the road and swimming away from home always presents a challenge. We are ready to meet this challenge and we are motivated to prove ourselves away from the ONAT. We have won four-straight on the road and have competed well and I am looking forward to a solid performance.

TRAVEL to the developing world is a challenge for many people. They are often afraid of seeing the poor. They are afraid that something will be asked of them they can't provide, that their compassion will be tested and found wanting.

Troy gave us a real battle last year. It's going to be our first match outside. I expect it to be a challenge for us because, one, its going to be our first match outside. Also, it's a very good team, a team that has been playing outside basically all winter long.

Tiger was so far ahead, you couldn't stop him. He's a great challenge and a great player.

Today, the entire nation is confronted with the onerous challenge of ending the war, and to bring about peace. In this, the working class has to play a vanguard role,

Typically, they pass about 20 times each possession when they get it on offense. So they're extremely deliberate. That's something that we haven't seen a lot of down in this area, so it'll be something new to us. I believe the challenge is getting the tempo up to where we want it to be.

We were sluggish during the second half. Fortunately, we had the big halftime lead. We will have to be ready for a good challenge against Andrew. It should be a good game.

We have the challenge of an 18 month integration to go through and when we look at our assumptions it's wise to be more reasonable with regard to those assumptions than more aggressive. The real key to the success of this integration is what we are going to look like after we complete it in the September quarter of 2007.

We have the facilities. The biggest challenge is getting kids out to the rink. Maybe between what we did in Salt Lake City and what we did here, we'll see the results of our success 20 years from now.

We have the largest number of freshman out we've ever had, ... It's also the biggest team we've had since we restarted cross country. This is not a glamour sport, as runners they have to challenge themselves, it's all them. The sportsmanship is great out there. Cross country represents what high school sports should be.

We have the most significant challenge of any city in American history and they are dismissing ideas ad nauseam, ... Nobody is coming up with better ideas or alternative ideas, and it's really kind of teeing me off.

We have the talent again this year to challenge for the regional championship, especially with the boys.

You know the front office wants to have a guy for the job and another guy waiting, in case the first guy doesn't get the job done. That's part of the challenge, and if it wasn't for the challenge this game wouldn't be that much fun.

You know what they're going to do. They're going to defend and they're going to play very hard. The challenge is matching that.
