Asian Quotes
Our imports increase as long as the economy grows. But there's certainly a concern that our exports are down despite the fact that Asian and European economies have begun to rebound. Maintaining the high deficit is dangerous because that means a huge debt, and if our creditors lose confidence in the U.S. economy and begin selling dollars, which drives down the value of the currency, that could spark a serious inflation threat.

Acquired Quotes
Over the past 12 months, Noble has acquired or begun construction on more than $400 million in lodging assets. In 2005, we added more than 1,800 rooms, six signature restaurants and two retail Starbucks licensed stores to our portfolio. Noble also added two championship golf courses and began construction on our first luxury resort lodge and spa.

Benefit Quotes
Over the course of the year, the European markets have outperformed the U.S. I think that part of that is that the big heavyweights that drag the European indexes forward have a much more international orientation, so as global growth has begun to accelerate, I think that companies with a global footprint have been able to enjoy the benefit of that.

Ability Quotes
The ability to collect, analyze, triangulate and visualize vast amounts of data in real time is something the human race has never had before. This new set of tools, often referred by the lofty term 'Big Data,' has begun to emerge as a new approach to addressing some of the biggest challenges facing our planet.

America Quotes
The acknowledgment of Bono and Bill and Melinda Gates by Time Magazine reflects the growing importance of philanthropy in society. The field of philanthropy is enduring a spectacular change fueled mostly by growth in size -- we have witnessed a 19% growth in the number of foundations in America during the past ten years -- and character. New and novel initiatives rise daily creating, in many respects, a time of optimism and creativity. Philanthropy is unique in that its resources go to creating long-term solutions and provides the opportunity and mandate to explore new creative solutions in ways not appropriate for public dollars. I think we have only just begun to see just how far this renewed interest in philanthropy is going to take us.

Arthur Quotes
We are thrilled to start the Rock Center and feel privileged to have it begun by someone like Arthur Rock, whose life and work have been central in creating the Silicon Valley. Our goal, like Arthur's, is nothing less than to transform corporate governance in the United States and abroad. It is imperative to restore public trust in business and to do so in a way that fuels rather than impedes growth. The resources that can be brought to bear at Stanford--in law, business, economics, and engineering--will enable us to tackle problems in new ways. And with the help and participation of the business community itself, the Rock Center can and will become a source for problem solving, new thinking, and great scholarship in this most important of domains.

Although Quotes
We have begun a program to strengthen Books Are Fun, which includes management changes, cost reductions, sales rep recruitment and improved competitiveness in the marketplace. We believe that America's leading display marketing company will regain its vitality, and that the moves we are making are the right ones to put it back on that path, although these steps will take time to flow through to improved operating results.

Athletes Quotes
When I first came here, the wheelchair racing program was really in its fledgling stages, but by the time I left, we were a strong team with athletes from around the country and had begun to receive more support from the university. I continue to hear of both the success and struggles of the team and it makes me miss having such a strong community of athletes with disabilities all in one place.

Available Quotes
Understand that all battles are waged on an unconscious level before they are begun on the conscious one, and this battle is no different. The power structure wishes us to believe that the only options available are those which they present to us, we know this is simply not true, and therefore we must redefine the terrain of this conflict, and clearly, it is a conflict of worldviews and agendas.
-
Asset Quotes
We aren't going to try and pretend to know where rates are headed, where the market is headed or what stocks will shine. That said, we do believe that the dominant equity strategy has begun to shift, and there are more and better foreign equities to invest in. To have a perfect asset allocation strategy, you need more exposure to foreign stocks.

Begin Quotes
This year we're going to begin a shuttle system that will run all over campus for our students. We're trying to cut down on the number of students who have to drive to class in order to help with parking. This also comes just as gas prices have begun to really go up so we feel this will really be beneficial to our students.

Care Quotes
There are a lot of them in every county. They are such an important part of the past and the present. I often think a community that doesn't take care of its dead wouldn't be a good place to live. They may be the only vestiges left of a community begun during, say, the Reconstruction period.
-
Candidate Quotes
While I am certainly disappointed to be losing Greg, I think his departure is indicative of the high standards we have set in Fresno in so much as our employees are sought after by other organizations.

While the Index remains below its pre-Katrina levels, the shock of the hurricanes and subsequent leap in gas prices has begun wearing off just in time for the holiday season. Despite this latest boost in confidence, holiday spending will be driven by the bargains consumers have come to expect.

Brightest Quotes
This year, I think, shows one thing that I think people have really, really begun to recognize, and that's that Ryan has a personality. Not only is he maturing as a race car driver, but he's maturing as a person. He has got one of the brightest minds in this garage and his wit is so dry and so quick it goes right by many people.

Adverse Quotes
What the big issue is going to be is how much of an adverse visual impact it has, ... We haven't even begun to look at all the different options. Can it be moved? Can it be painted white?
