Best Quotes
We're proud to be the number one provider of solar power in America. We were the first company to sell a solar panel in the U.S. in 1978. Now, nearly three decades later, solar energy is one of the best investments people can make anywhere, with as much as a 15% annual return on investment. Try to get that kind of return in the stock market.
-
Amount Quotes
What I have observed over the past 18 years is that the pace, the number of bills and the amount of time that legislators have is certainly less than what they used to have. So getting with them during the session is becoming increasingly difficult. And so you have to resort to other means. And other means includes inviting them to events, having them involved in annual meetings, things of that sort.
-
Award Quotes
We are extremely proud to receive the Quality Circle Award this year, and particularly proud to be the only manufacturer to receive this award each year for the past decade. We consider the DSI survey to be a critical measurement tool for the quality of our products, our sales and service programs and our manufacturing processes. The survey provides us with an important annual benchmark that shows how our dealer partners perceive the quality of Winnebago Industries products and services.

Advice Quotes
To create competition, the distributors - namely the banks - must be allowed to compete over fees and service. The current system does not encourage competition. With the banks getting a blanket annual fee for the customer's inventory of fund units, their interest will be to sell as many units in stock mutual funds as possible and to prevent clients from selling them, even when unbiased advice would reach the opposite conclusion.

Alumni Quotes
Hasty Pudding is no small potatoes (sorry to mix the food references), known for its famous alumni and much-hyped annual awards ceremonies. One year Mel Gibson recited Hamlet and escaped from a straitjacket. Tom Cruise has strutted in a bra and stilettos. This year Sarah Jessica Parker gets the prize. A recent ... episode was about money woes. I wonder if there will be any jokes about dough this time!
-
Approach Quotes
Having just approved the 2006 annual operating plan, I and the other directors believe the company is essentially on the right course for long-term growth, and that our employees and senior management team have a sense of urgency about improving the company's financial results. However, we will take this opportunity to re-examine the strategic direction of Gateway to fine-tune our products, services and approach to our professional and consumer direct markets.
-
Above Quotes
Historically, September represents the end of the annual soft order period that typically begins in May. That orders were below the rate of build in September was not unexpected nor out of the ordinary. That said, if the industry is going to maintain current build rates into 2006, stronger orders above the rate of build will be required to replenish depleted backlogs.
-
Among Quotes
Hopefully, this will become an annual event for our Belleville schools. This isn't about competition among schools to see what has the best peace ball; this is to draw attention and to recognize and support and give positive feedback to kids who are being peaceful. From what I've seen, I feel pretty good about peace here in Belleville winning over conflict.
-
Channel Quotes
Our channel partners are critical to our success and we like to recognize and reward our top performers. Last week, at our annual Partner Summit, I had the privilege of recognizing our top channel partner performers for 2005. I would like to congratulate Nexus IS on an award-winning year.

Audit Quotes
Parents use the Report Card's indicator values, ratings, and rankings to compare schools when they choose an education provider for their children. When parents already have a child enrolled at a school they use the report cards as an annual audit of how that school is doing academically.
-
Asset Quotes
Over its 18-year history, the Index generated a net compound annualized return of 15.5% versus 12.0% for the S&P 500, marking eighteen consecutive years of positive annual performance for the Greenwich-Van Global Hedge Fund Index. This strongly suggests downside protection and diversification benefits of hedge funds within a comprehensive asset allocation plan can greatly enhance a portfolio's reward/risk profile.
-
Bringing Quotes
Overwhelmingly, our customers have told us that the annual Convergence conference is one of the most positive and powerful networking opportunities they have each year. By bringing the spirit of this event online we provide the environment where customers and partners can share knowledge, connect with peers, collaborate, and share ideas year-round, with no physical boundaries.

Affecting Quotes
Rising oil prices are not only affecting current inflation rates but they're also overshadowing next year, ... It can't be ruled out that risks for price developments will deteriorate that much over the medium term that we might have to expect the annual inflation rate to slightly exceed 2 percent.
-
Accelerate Quotes
Recent trends show the price pressures are well contained, with the exception of oil, ... The core CPI rose at just a 1.8 percent annual rate over the past three months, which is slightly below the 1.9 percent year-to-year gain. That means the core CPI is unlikely to accelerate in the next few months and allows the Fed to continue its policy of just gradually pushing up interest rates.
-
Budgets Quotes
President Bush's pledge to halve the budget deficit by 2009 distracts policymakers from the real issue of unsustainable trends in long-term entitlement spending. The president's proposal to slow Medicare's 9% annual growth rate is a good fiscal step, but the budget does not propose enough immediate and bold reforms to the quickly growing entitlement programs that threaten to overwhelm the budget.
-
Achievement Quotes
Participation in the annual Best Practices Study has become a prestigious achievement for those that qualify for inclusion. It means the agency is among the best in the country. To be the top performer in one of the study's peer revenue groups means that agency is the 'best of the best.' It is an outstanding accomplishment.
-
Ignore Quotes
PDF annual reports are principally useful only for printing, and sometimes for offline reference for experienced users. But they are not usable for online browsing, which is how most individual investors want to view online annual report information. Firms that post their reports only in PDF ignore the needs and preferences of most of their report users and put people off reading the report.
-
Adjustment Quotes
NAMIC strongly supports the expansion of Section 831(b)(2). The modification of this section is very important to the communities that depend on small property/casualty insurance companies to provide them with affordable property insurance. Many small companies are approaching the current $1.2 million limit and both they and their customers will be adversely impacted if it is not raised. With the increased election level, tied to an annual adjustment in the cost-of-living, these insurance companies can continue to keep premiums low in rural areas where larger insurers either do not write coverage or charge higher premiums than consumers can afford.
-
Bobby Quotes
My wife was diagnosed with lupus 16 or 17 years ago, and that's how I kinda got involved in it. I just finished my fifth annual Bobby Hatfield Classic Golf Tournament, and happily I can report that we raised over $52,000. Through the years we've raised not only through the golf tournament, but through other charitable concerts, we've raised over $600,000.

Achieves Quotes
Lodi needs to rebuild its electric system's financial reserves to ensure system stability during volatile periods in the power market, which it expects to do steadily over a long time horizon by increasing annual net surpluses and fixed charge coverage. If the city achieves its financial plan while at the same time reducing operational risks going forward, the outlook will be revised to stable. Should the city fail to rebuild reserves or increase coverage of fixed charges, or should it experience any other unexpected adverse developments of a financial nature, the rating will be lowered.
-
Believes Quotes
Management's proposal to declassify the Board demonstrates Starbucks Board of Directors commitment to good corporate governance practices. The Board believes that the annual election of directors is a primary means for shareholders to influence corporate governance policies and hold management accountable for implementing those policies.
-
Attracted Quotes
The annual country study program, called the 'Year of ...,' has attracted regional and national attention. Over the last 20 years, the number of international faculty and students has soared, as have the numbers of our faculty and students who have had international experiences. Similarly, the campus community has become much more diverse in its racial and cultural representation.
-
Addition Quotes
The annual auction is the only fundraiser we have. Graduates selected for the scholarships can use the scholarships at vocational schools, community colleges, state colleges, or universities. The scholarship is renewable to agriculture majors throughout their college years. Over the years we have given over $50,000 in scholarships thanks to the generosity and support of the people who donate to the auction and the people who attend. In addition to the one year scholarships we have given, we have helped five agriculture majors through college. The bottom line is all about helping the kids.

Adding Quotes
The 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management list is our annual opportunity to recognize the companies we believe best exemplify the ideals of true knowledge management - the ones whose products and services continue to fundamentally transform the way organizations operate. These companies meet the needs of our readership in solving critical business problems, and they are united by one quality: they listen to their customers. Long gone are the days of developing elegant software in a vacuum and expecting the world to beat a path to your door. Decision makers and users grow more savvy each year, and these companies realize that the key to adding value is staying close to their customers.
-
Ask Quotes
When the annual FISMA grades are released -- which could be imminently -- you have to ask yourself, what do those grades really mean? The high grades could mean a lot of compliance, but not a lot of security. The low grades could mean that there's plenty of security in place, but it just wasn't verified on paper properly.
-
Bridge Quotes
We have PEO and bridge clubs who meet here a lot. Several businesses have their holiday or annual meetings here. Caterers come in for special events and use our kitchen facility. We also have groups from town decorate each room at Christmas and we're featured in Wakefield's Tour of Homes at that time.
-
Careers Quotes
We are thrilled to partner with the Mayor's Council of Technology Advisors on our fourth annual high school Web design contest. It is very important that we recognize the talent of tech-savvy high school students and support their technical and creative development as they consider careers in information technology.
-
Assume Quotes
We'll wait until we hear for certain what their intentions are before we decide what the consequences will be. But I think it's safe to assume that, at a minimum, NHL clubs will no longer be willing to release players from contractual obligations to participate in the annual world championships.
