Expected Quotations | Page 5

More than five million Texans are expected to travel for the Christmas-New Year's holiday, with the majority of those travelers driving to their destination.

Mo seems to have fared well despite his ordeal and is expected to fully recover,

Mortgage purchase applications continue to track downwards, suggesting that most of the expected pop in housing sales in January was weather-related.

Maybe it was our turn. I never expected to get here, so it's one big thrill.

No other candidates are expected at this point. At this point, we are going to huddle up and review our process to this point and decide what our next plan of action is.

Now we have to rethink that because they are a lot fresher then we expected them to be at the end of the season.

Obama was expected to restore an ethical sheen to post-9/11 foreign policy, but he has intensified drone warfare in Yemen and Pakistan, pursued whistle-blowers, and failed to close down Guantanamo.

Obama fans become more and more glum that he keeps flubbing the very role he was expected to be so good at: Therapist to the nation. The Great Comforter.

Negative sentiment is expected to weigh on European equities.

New services reflect the changing demographics of bank customers and banks' are adopting new strategies for retaining core deposits. The first baby boomers will turn 65 in 2011, and by 2030, one in five Americans is expected to be 65 or older. Add the trend toward increased equity ownership, and it's hardly surprising that more than half of the bankers expect to offer brokerage services (61%) and half will offer mutual funds (50%) in the next three years.

News coming in over the weekend that some production facilities might take longer to recover than originally expected is lending a slight bullish tone to the market, but this may disappear during the day,

New, high-profile trials can be expected in the near future.

Naturally I'm very disappointed. But a tight time line became even tighter once the surgeon discovered more damage than was expected and to be back bowling 10 weeks after the operation was probably always likely to be optimistic.

Obviously the report was better than expected but the market is still forward looking. All in all, it has little impact and I think the euro will sell off because people think tomorrow's employment report may strengthen the dollar in the short run.

Obviously there are two different reactions after the matches. With Harvey, we more expected it - it's business as usual. With Brendan, I'm hugging and jumping.

Obviously the publishers, because of historical curiosity or the significance of it, I think expected more, ... It obviously was not as much as some of my other books, but I don't know how much a writer can get involved in trying to second-guess that.

Obviously, many homeowners expected an increase due to higher property values. But many homeowners have had serious sticker shock.

Obviously I had to do better than I did at the combine. I think I did what I expected all along. I'm just fortunate I had another chance to run it here.

Obviously, as a three-time state champion, he's at a level that is above anybody else. With Jimmy, I think he's really close, but a lot has to do with confidence. When he took a shot at him, he (Conroy) took him down. He needs to have a little more confidence and let it fly. Nobody expected (Bryan) Hunt to beat (Ryan) Wilson.

No, certainly it's not what we expected or what we were told. There is nothing we can do about it.

nobody who knew much about the true facts of this case, or about John, expected him to be removed.

Nobody has ever bothered those kids. They all play out there every day. No one could have expected this.

Right now, its very tight. But, I think I expected a little bit that this would happen because playing two days ago, and even this morning, I wasn't feeling 100 percent. I was feeling a lot of tightness in my body.

Right now, I'd say he is in a state of shock. But that's to be expected from anyone who was just traded.

Retail sales picked up more than expected in March, which along with the current strength in the housing market, boosts hopes that the consumer is still alive, if not exactly kicking.

People want to put their money in companies with strong earnings, and many of these companies are expected to deliver that.

Perfect is hard to get but we did a great job today. We came out to win the game and we expected to win. We had a great game today - the offense, defense and special teams all played great. We're going to keep playing hard. We hope we made a statement to the bowl voters today.

Port Arthur played good man to man defense for four quarters, but we managed to outscore them. I expected us to use this game to get over the christmas break, which we did. We played hard.

Portals do drive e-commerce, ... But I think some e-commerce companies overpaid and expected too much. As e-commerce companies build their own stream of traffic, they'll need to depend on portals less and less.

My sense is that an earnings recovery is further away than expected and there is no immediate catalyst to turn this market sharply higher. We could have a trading rally, but on balance, people are still nervous about the earnings outlook.

My sense heading into the quarter was the market expected Humana to raise guidance today. I think they ultimately do raise guidance for 2006, but given that they didn't today, I think that will be viewed as a disappointment.

Niagara is not expected to overlap with OPL, but Rock will. Rock comes out in 2008, but the APL agreement expires in 2008.

Next year, the westward tilt is expected to continue, although Newfoundland and Labrador will be the exception to the rule as major developments in the mining and oil sectors ramp up to full production.

Nobody I know would have expected me to marry Will, and nobody he knows would have expected him to marry me because we are so opposite. Yet we're perfect for each other.

No. 4 really turned things around. I never expected to make four there.

Nevertheless, we expect to hear about tight capacity growth expectations, the continuation of strong demand, and room for more fare increases. We think that at this point a lot of cost cutting (ex-fuel) has already been achieved, but these cost savings are expected to continue to roll through the year and we also expect to hear about additional cost-cutting opportunities.

Nineteen countries have already confirmed to take part in the meet and Qatar is also expected to send in the entry.

Nearly 60 percent of the 2006 budget is targeting projects that are expected to provide little or no volume growth this year but should contribute to strong growth in 2007 and beyond.

On the road, just like anybody else, we try to be patient and see what they can bring. We expected them to be more aggressive at home, but it looked like every time we tried to push it there was no reaction from them. So we just continued to keep pushing.

On offense, you want to establish the run; on defense, you want to stop the run. We were able to do both today. We expected it to do it and went out and did it. I think it's a great confidence booster for us.

On Saturday we have a game in which there should be no pressure on us, one we are not expected to win, but who knows?

One of the first things I told (the players) was that if they weren't committed, then they were in the wrong place. I was very up front with them. I expected a full-scale commitment. ... To do anything successfully, you've got to be committed to it.

I was really please with the effort. Nobody expected us to take this type of team to overtime on their home floor.

I was surprised. I expected Ena to get it. She played really well.

I was surprised by the disappointing forecast for 2006. I expected 5 percent revenue growth.

I was surprised about the first two sets because Ivan played different tactics compared to the other two matches he played when he won. But I expected him to play better and even though three match points went I knew it wasn't the end.

I was telling the guys that I felt like a rookie all over again, ... It's just a whole new atmosphere. It seemed like in New England everything had become normal, because we're just expected to win. And this is a whole new challenge -- getting this team off on the right note -- and just to be a part of that is exciting.

I was raised in an orthodox Jewish home where it was expected that, as a woman, I'd marry an investment banker, raise kids in the suburbs and go to temple. I wasn't raised to set the world on fire.

I wouldn't trade our team chemistry for anything. I don't think anything can pull these girls apart. I had high expectations. We expected to place.

I wouldn't call it a victory yet. There's obviously still a ruling coming. You're seeing a favorable reaction from the markets. Many people expected at least a partial injunction coming today.

I wouldn't have expected it to be quite as comprehensive and uniform across all groups.

I would encourage parents who are considering private tutors to have the tutor know what is expected in the student's school and to have some sort of informal assessment.

I would have given him a lesser fine if it were not for that, but I stopped short of banning him for the last test. I have respect for the England captain and I expected the same from him,

I would have expected this. He's a brilliant person, and he's got emotional integrity. He was one of the most unique people I've ever known. He was a kid, and it was like he was 35 or 40. He was 19. He was a totally mature adult, and he was brighter than I was.

I would have expected the rally to continue tomorrow, but I think this after-hours news may put a break on it.

I would have expected that it would have required a larger weight loss for people to be able to experience these improvements.

I would have expected both of them to use the opportunity to clear the air.

I would have expected and hoped there would be more public participation.

I would have expected a much more inclusive process. If they are relying on inviting companies to participate in the process, how much diversity of opinion are they likely to achieve?

I would describe the month as pretty good, solid ... and where we expected it to be.

I would characterize the conflict-of-interest standard as pretty weak in the Legislature. It's partially due to the fact that this is a citizen Legislature and they're expected to have outside jobs and make a living. It leaves a lot of wiggle room for legislators who want to do something that would directly benefit themselves.

I was pleased with the way we ran. I never expected us to have the top five finishers.

I guess I kind of expected that would be the result. There's a history in Wisconsin Rapids of electing these positions and that's apparently the way they are going to stay, which is fine by me.

I guarantee no one expected them to come this far.

I grew up with my cousins, who were as close as brothers, and frankly, I didn't like what girls were expected to do. I liked horseback riding, playing football, going to rodeos. I wanted to be in jeans all the time, and I couldn't figure out why I was supposed to conform to a certain standard, so I didn't.

If we don't find that happening, all of the progress expected under the trade agreement could disappear. So an excessively weak yen would jeopardize success under the auto agreement.

If we get a big kick start to the quarter with a strong April, that could offset us being a bit weaker than we expected to be in the first quarter.

If we play well and get into the fourth quarter, you never know what happens. All the pressure is on Friday Harbor. They're expected to win.

If we have five or six guys who do what is expected of them, it'll be a fun year for us. But the fact of the matter is, we play in a pitcher's ballpark. We have to play to our strength.

If we don't build new schools outlined in the bond issue, we will have to put the projected 7,500 students expected in the next four years in existing classrooms and portable buildings,

If they do what they're expected to do, they could supplant the chemotherapy regimen.

If they get on and score some runs, then everyone else seems to follow them. They have been starting for three years and now what is expected of them.

If this crisis hits them to the degree it's expected to, we've lost Asia.

If this happens, it will greatly increase our expected targets.

I have determined that we have not made the progress we expected and that it is in the best interest of Canisius College and our men's basketball program that we seek new leadership.

I didn't really know what to expect. I guess I expected to feel good and I did feel good.

I didn't really know what to expect. Being from the East Coast, the SEC and ACC are all you hear about. You don't get to hear a whole lot about the Pac-10 in Georgia. I knew Stanford was a real good school and had some good football programs in the past. All I wanted to do was visit California. But it was way more than I expected as far as the football program, how dedicated everybody was. The guys were really nice, and there's a lot to do around here. I thought this would be a great place to go to school.

I didn't want to leave an off-speed pitch over the plate. He'd hit two off-speed pitches out. But, I expected to close today.

I don't feel any pressure, ... If anything, I might be having a little too much fun. Nobody expected us to be here; nobody expected us to win the championship.

I don't ever remember Thomas complaining about fatigue. He was always out there doing 100 percent on every play. You never would have expected this.

I don't even use profanity when I'm angry. I think people expected I'd have written a nice romance or something.

I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.

I did what I was expected to do and did what I could do, the rest was left up to God's hands.

I don't know what I expected at this point of the year, but I do know if I'm not pitching well, I'm not going to be satisfied. I have won 11 games, but there were six weeks left in the season and I had 11 wins, so I should have more. I'm not looking for any way to justify what's happened.

I don't know why we would have any pressure on us. Nobody expected us to be here right now.

I'd be lying if I said I completely believed and expected we'd be here two weeks ago, after having a tough time at the end of the year,

I can handle it. I expected it ... that a few players might make it personal with me.

I am cautiously optimistic the stellar growth in the first decade of commercialization will be surpassed in the second. The number of countries and farmers growing biotech crops is expected to grow, particularly in developing countries.

I am always looking for a new challenge. Syracuse had everything I expected - great water, great facilities and excellent alumni support. It was a great foundation.

I am satisfied with the progress of most land-based operations. Some were obviously expected to take a long time to produce profits.

I am so proud of the work we did. We extended every effort on Dr. Al-Arian's behalf, but at the end of the day, how much can be expected of us?

I apologize to the loyal fans and sponsors that have expected my participation in Tennis Masters Cup, ... It is an honor for me to have qualified for this event for the third-straight year.
