Bit Quotes
Since she wouldn't be able to be a part of it there, we're bringing a little bit of China to her. I know I would never be able to make up that experience of living in Asia for her, but we can experience part of her culture here. Why would I expect her to embrace my culture without me embracing hers.

Basically Quotes
Now reality is beginning to sink in -- that Asia is basically a long-term workout. I really don't see much relief from Asia for quite a while. I think we'll get tired of hearing about Asia before the year is over, but it's really earnings that's key. It's growth that's really the issue.

Books Quotes
I don't get much downtime, that's for sure. We generally make three separate tours of Europe each year alone. Then there's Asia and other foreign countries as well as plenty of gigs in the U.S. My son books all my dates and he does a wonderful job, so I can't complain about my schedule.

Central Quotes
Celebrating historic triumphs is a favorite pastime for many Turks.

Bad Quotes
There is good and bad in the report, something for everybody, on the positive side the company managed to exceed earnings estimates at the high end of analysts estimates at 85 cents a share-- good revenue growth -- on the downside they made some cautionary comments about Asia and its impact for 1998 -- the fact that it is going to cloud earnings estimates going forward.

Clouds Quotes
Keep in mind that it's only a six-month delay, so it's not catastrophic ... (But) right now there are a lot of clouds in the sky. There's speculation that their second quarter will be difficult. There's the problems in Asia and the sluggish Japanese economy. A lot of things don't bode well in the near term.

Add Quotes
I think you're seeing a recovery in Asia and the Japanese market is actually strengthening a bit here, and that might tend to have Japanese investors bringing some capital back and foreign investors investing in Japan, ... So I don't see it reversing. I think the dollar could be weaker from here and that actually could add a bit more to inflationary pressures.
-
Austerity Quotes
I think we could rally for the next 30 days, but again, I think you probably want to be more cautious as you get into the spring when the IMF austerity programs in Asia start to really pull the economies down. So even though we have some current relief rally happening, I think it could be short-lived and not as sustained as we might want.

Allowed Quotes
I think we've clearly seen over the last three years that the currencies of emerging markets can be extremely volatile. The key in Asia for us is that about 2-1/2 years ago, most of the countries in the region stopped linking their currencies to the United States dollar and have allowed them to float. That does mean that currencies will be volatile relative to the U.S. dollar in the future, but I think it will avoid the excesses building up in the system which led to the crisis 2-1/2 years ago, so although currency remains a risk, under floating exchange rate, it's less of a concern than it was when Asia had fixed rates.

Art Quotes

Affect Quotes
Record market demand in North America and Europe was accompanied by unrelenting competitive pressures, while economic conditions continued to affect markets in the Latin America and Asia-Pacific regions, ...

Beginning Quotes
Regional economic cooperation in South Asia has fallen far short of our expectations and the dreams of our founding fathers, ... It remains far behind more successful examples in both Asia and other regions of the world. I sincerely hope that SAFTA comes into force by January 1, 2006, but even this will represent only a modest beginning in terms of our goals.

Achieved Quotes
President Bush's action, although timely, may be ill advised. For the past three years, both the CDC and the WHO have steadfastly ignored our novel anti-viral approach, which has achieved over 80% treatment success in West Nile virus encephalitis and which should be equally effective against avian influenza. If the WHO had put us in touch with clinicians in Southeast Asia treating avian influenza cases as we've asked for the past three winters, we'd already know by now.

Affect Quotes
Surveying these fields will provide information to get the big picture of how this fungus behaves in this part of the world. We know it's caused major losses in Asia and other parts of the world, but we don't really know how it will affect crops here. The weather and prevailing winds this spring will play a big role in what happens, but if South Texas bean crops have a rough year with soybean rust, there will be the potential for a bad year further north.
