Appears Quotes
It appears that most of the temporary housing ordered by FEMA has already been produced, but we expect to see an increase in demand for our products as demand increases for manufactured homes in late 2006 and early 2007 due to the anticipated permanent rebuilding of the hurricane-stricken areas.

Accepted Quotes
People are going to look at this and say this is pretty rich wage increases for people who already make a lot of money. But the opportunities to improve productivity are still pretty high. A few years ago, 30 to 35 hours a vehicle was what was accepted as best practice. Now it's close to 20. The goal is now around 10.

Depends Quotes
Our funding arrangement at the moment goes down to around the top 60 swimmers who at the moment get $500,000. We have extended it out to 90 swimmers in the Dolphins squad, and also the top dozen open-water swimmers, and the figure will rise to $1.1 million in the first year, and then increase in the years following. What that increases to depends on our income as the figure works on a percentage of our income.

Ability Quotes
Our ability to do both RF and divider simulations together, rather than doing each one separately, increases the likelihood of a successful chip fabrication for our customers and shortens development time. We expect the new trade-up program to make acquiring these innovative capabilities an attractive option for designers looking for better design flow efficiency.

Anytime Quotes
Retail gasoline prices have gone up 15 cents in the past two weeks. The increases can be traced to investor speculation leading to higher prices for both crude and wholesale gasoline. With crude trading around $64 a barrel, it doesn't appear likely gasoline will fall below $2 a gallon anytime soon.

Activity Quotes
Stable demand and rising land values have placed upward pressure on pricing resulting in a 14.4 percent increase in average asking rates in only six months. With robust sales activity and mom-and-pop operators seeking expansion opportunities, we believe there is room for additional increases in newly constructed retail centers.

Approach Quotes
My timing would be that I'd want to start lightening up as we approach the elections, because once again, after the elections, it's conceivable you have a slowing economy. But a lot of things I'm looking at underneath the surface here show me that possibly we're going to have rising inflation at a time when the economy begins to slow. So we're going to see more increases after the elections.

Across Quotes
Loan and deposit growth was strong across all markets. Total assets at year-end were $5.9 billion, a 15% increase from a year ago. Loans increased $144 million during the fourth quarter, or 14% on an annualized basis, and helped drive the increase in net interest revenue. Our net interest margin rose to 4.20%, up 15 basis points from a year ago and up three basis points from last quarter, as increasing short-term interest rates continued to positively affect our slightly asset-sensitive balance sheet. Fee revenue, excluding securities losses taken in the fourth quarter of 2005, was up 12%, reflecting increases in nearly every category.

Basis Quotes
Look back in the last 30 years, the Federal Reserve has caused every major market pullback because of tightening the monetary policy, ... I believe the odds are that they will be raising rates by 25 basis points on Nov. 16. But beyond that, that will be it, well into the year 2000 before any further rate increases take place.

Consequences Quotes
Looking to the remainder of our fiscal year, we anticipate stronger fourth quarter sales, but expect a much weaker third quarter in light of continued delays in our customers' purchasing decisions. In response, we have cut back our production of potash and phosphates to limit increases in our inventories, especially because of current high raw material costs, and to better match supply with current purchasing activity. As a consequence, the industry may face acute logistical challenges when spring season begins if domestic shipments don't accelerate soon.

Below Quotes
March numbers are pretty good at predicting upcoming activity. We figure that sales will be good but not spectacular on into the summer and that price increases will stay below 10 percent. We'll probably have a couple of months with new price peaks, but those new records will be reached at a slower rate of appreciation.

Apparent Quotes
I think retail is going to be a very tough place to make money. What's worrying the market now is -- if the Fed is successful in slowing the economy, what does it mean for profits going forward? And that is apparent - that's more clearly an issue in retail than anyplace else. But it is an issue in the market itself that you're going into a period here where profit growth may decelerate; in fact, could flatten out as you have volume gains decelerate in a slowing economy, but cost increases embedded in from the period when you had a strong economy; and that's not exactly a great prescription for profits, and I think that's troubling the stock market,

Absence Quotes
The 8.5 percentage-point gap in cost increases between a best-performing and a poor-performing company is very significant. Through focused initiatives such as building data warehouses and using hard-dollar ROI calculations, best-performing companies lower cost trends, minimize employee absence and earn higher rates of employee satisfaction with their programs.

Biases Quotes
When it comes to getting promoted, you want to present yourself in a way that feeds into the biases that bosses have about what makes someone promotable. You're already doing the hard work, so why not frame your effort in such a way that it increases your chances of obtaining the position you want?
