One of our decisions was to select a well-validated system and install it early in the process, when we could get by with fewer people to administrate it. You've got to start from the ground up. Trying to implement a PLM solution in the middle or the back end of a development cycle adds a degree of complication that may not be worth it.

My concern is that Microsoft has introduced too much complexity, making more difficult the arduous purchase decision process. Microsoft is right to get information out earlier, because evaluating an Office purchase will be much harder for businesses this release cycle compared to Office 2003 or XP.

My grandfather had a proper bookcase of egghead books, and he gave them to me in alphabetical order. So we moved from Aeschylus to the Brontas, and I can still remember the great relief of going from the dipus cycle to Jane Eyre.

Now that we have a base statistic in front of us, we have to go to work and do the hard work of organizing. This is basically a 10-year cycle that we're on.

Next week is big. We've got a bit of data coming out on the local front, which will give an indication of where our inflation cycle peaked and as such more insight on the interest rate outlook.

Obviously the data today was very supportive of bonds. The unemployment report caught everyone by surprise. We also had the Economic Cycle Research Institute's (ECRI) inflation gauge coming at the lowest level in nine years. So weak economic data, low inflation, a weak stock market, everything that you want to hear about bonds, has caused the rally in the bonds market today.

Obsession with conventional ideas of 'success' can be harmful enough, but compound that stress with relationships, family, financial woes and health concerns, and you find yourself in a constant state of fight or flight.

One of the nice things about set-top boxes is that they are constantly being overhauled. The cycle never ends.

I was surprised. It was the first shift for us. We just tried to throw the puck on net and hopefully go for a rebound or cycle the puck. I took the shot and it just kind of went five-hole. I was surprised, but we'll take it.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

If these declines were part of the normal economic cycle we would now call for a recession in the U.S., but they aren't. The index is responding to a shock, and we expect it quickly to rebound.

If this cycle is going to continue, and it looks like the 2007 World Cup is going to be played under it, we'll have to adapt to it.

I'd like to get that cycle time to less than six hours,

I am in a constant cycle of selling my clothes at Wasteland and buying from Goodwill. Once or twice a year, I go through my closet and donate everything to Goodwill. It feels like I am recycling my fashion.

Certainly over the last 15-20 years, the sheer dollars paid to athletes have increased dramatically, but we're also in a cycle where the top athletes get paid extremely well at the expense of the middle class.

I have been here a long time, and I have seen this cycle happen before. I'll wait awhile and see if this flurry of activity leads to anything permanent.

Given the continued improvement in labor and wage conditions of late and the likelihood that that will be sustained, consumer spending is most likely to lead the current economic growth until the present cycle ends.

Given that many PC vendors and chip suppliers are looking for a PC upgrade cycle to start in the (second half) of this calendar year, this is somewhat sobering,

From here on, I think the market will focus on the fact that the easing cycle is going to come to an end pretty soon. Which means the Fed might be seeing a recovery in the economy early next year. Investors are going to want to be in a position that they'll be in the rally once this happens.

From a symbolic perspective, this is a very important election for Japan as a victory for Koizumi and the coalition would be the most powerful signal yet that the economic model in Japan will change. Ultimately the economic cycle will prove a more significant driver of share prices.

Further evidence that the US rate-tightening cycle may be approaching a pause was provided yesterday by a weaker-than-expected ISM report on the manufacturing sector and the release of a dovish set of minutes from the Fed's December meeting.

I don't think we're going to buck the September trend, and I don't think we'll see a big sell-off. I think we'll see some rallying through the next week, and then a small pullback after that in late September, judging by the cycle the market has been going in.

I don't think you can assume the Fed's tightening cycle is done,

I enjoy intuitive peace, and I play in bliss; the cycle of reincarnation is ended for me, and I am merged with the Lord.

Given these considerations, we believe the Fed is anxious to bring the current easing cycle to an end and will do so as soon as the data point to some economic improvement, however modest.

If those train wrecks and if that gamesmanship is being driven by broad political forces, narrow margins in the House and the Senate, divided party government, difficult decisions that have to be made, genuine differences that exist, mobilization of interest groups if all of those things are true, you are going to find vehicles to have those fights, whether you have a two-year budget cycle or not.

We're in the process of grinding out a bit of a bottom here. But it's a rotational market and the guys that are playing the last cycle by running in and buying the techs and so forth are ultimately going to be disappointed.

We suspect that the end of the Fed tightening cycle as policy tightening continues in the key low-yield economies will leave the dollar increasingly exposed to structural vulnerabilities in the second quarter.

What we have here is a prediction that the cycle is going to be very active, and what we need and what we're of course working on is to be able to predict individual storms with a couple days or hours in advance so the grids can take the action.

I agree that metal doesn't ever really go away, but it does have waves of popularity, and right now it seems to be growing. I don't think it's quite hit its peak again, but it is on the way up.

Some of the models driving the increase in vehicle price for sporty cars are the Pontiac Solstice, the Audi A3 and the Ford Mustang. It is also likely that demographics are playing a role here.

An increase in demand from this significant portion of the population would have a positive impact on vehicle prices.
