Concern Quotations | Page 7

It appears the 50 game initial penalty is principally a response to criticisms which have been made of our current program. We share your concern about the criticism our program has received, and, in response, the players have demonstrated, several times now, their willingness to take all reasonable measures in response. But we are still required to adopt, and defend, reasonable, fair and appropriate agreements.

I think it's a very excellent move that Jerry will be joining GM's board. My only concern is that he may have had more influence from the outside than he will from the inside.

I think it's a tremendous accomplishment, considering how we started. There was a little bit of concern about that.

I think it's fair to say that we have a concern that when you look in that room that it's not a multicultural board or administration; CASB is not itself a multicultural organization. Multiculturalism is probably one of the really central issues of the school district, and we're concerned that that issue is not going to be represented to the extent it should be.

I think it's exciting. My biggest concern would be traffic flow and safety for the kids.

I think it's cause for concern but not alarm.

I think it's an innovative proposal. It's trying to address things that concern us all,

I think it's a marriage made in heaven, ... First of all, it gives Allied leadership for the future. Honeywell brings with it some strong management and that was a concern to AlliedSignal shareholders. There are cost-cutting and synergy opportunities. This is going to be a major force going forward.

It certainly is a concern when we reach a record low for affordability.

It is a huge concern that the college can't and shouldn't be putting policies and procedures in place to slow progress towards a degree.

It is a great source of concern when any of these procedures are not being followed. One is always going to find a violation here or there, but an indication that ignoring the rules is widespread practice is shocking and deplorable.

It is . . . a great concern to the most senior leaders in the U.S. government that the aircrew has been held incommunicado over 32 hours,

It is a definite concern at a time when we have virtually no new entrants in the pipeline.

It is a concern to us as we are heading into the direction of increasing graduation standards. We want to make sure students have the foundation for that.

It is a concern that citizens already are touring the Titanic and some Atlantic vent sites with deep-diving submersibles. When Yellowstone Park -- which features geothermal geysers analogous to deep-sea vents -- was established in the mid-1800s, no ordinary person could get there because it was a four-day trip by horse from the nearest rail line, but roughly 3,000,000 visited Yellowstone last year.

It is a concern for us. We are at the very early stage of an intervention that could last three or four months.

It is a concern but you can't worry about that because we have to beat Croatia or draw with them to go through. As a manager I can't think about leaving Rooney out and hope we win the game. He has to play and hopefully he will be clever enough not to get a yellow card.

It is a concern but we've got to keep it relative to the situation. We've got a young team. We've got players that haven't had a lot of tennis experience. The weather from here on out has got to be better. I'm an optimist. We still have time. I think our strength is our positive attitude.

I think the main concern was with the aircraft frame.

I think the market has a preoccupation with earnings. They've been very disappointed and there's a big concern that the slowdown in the economy earnings might have more earnings ramifications than was previously thought.

I think the market has a preoccupation with earnings, ... They've been very disappointed and there's a big concern that the slowdown in the economy earnings might have more earnings ramifications than was previously thought.

I think their concern will be heightened by the president's affirmation. They will pull back in general on all types of spending.

I think the prospects for a hard landing for the market are still pretty remote but my concern would be that the economy is becoming increasingly reliant on the housing market.

I thought he felt sore and my only concern was for the horse's welfare.

I think you have concern on these three areas -- qualification, independence, judicial philosophy -- by people of both parties and all political stripes,

I think you gotta play your style. We got up and down the court pretty good the other night. But you gotta continue to defend at the other end. That's the biggest concern I have.

I think the governor expressed his concern that the local officials representing so many citizens were so stridently opposed to the proposal.

I think the fact that every time we've gone below 114 yen (on dollar/yen) we've bounced back higher, is beginning to become a bit of a concern for those playing the short-term market by trying to push dollar-yen lower.

I think the effect of this will be to revive concern about the government's mistreatment of detainees and to get people to take another look at the legal basis. There are lots of lingering questions about how do you justify holding these people.

I think the concern was that North Carolina has worked so hard to raise standards for teachers and maintain those standards.

I think the concern that was motivating the Fed (to lower interest rates ) is that it's going to shift to more Western hemisphere trade partners. I think the risk is it's going to broaden and deepen.

I think the concern is you don't want to waste a great performance by a goalie. We got that type of performance. But we didn't execute offensively for him.

I think the basic tone in Beijing is that we can only do what we can. We can't sacrifice national interest just for concern in the United States.

Laskar Jundullah has also been accused of providing arms in Poso. It's a breakdown of law and order. And I think the fact that you've got a large unaccountable militia should be of concern not only to the Indonesian government but of deep concern to governments outside as well.

It is positive that more hospitals are doing better financially. However, it should still be a concern that 27 percent of Pennsylvania hospitals are losing money.

It is simply an attempt by a group of self-appointed rich clubs to get more money and power out of the game, with no concern for the sports or the fans.

I thought we got better as the game wore on. I think the concern is you don't want to waste a great performance by a goalie. You need your goalie to win those games.

I thought we gave great effort against a very good Texas team. Our defense, in particular, played with great emotion. Offensively, we have to do a better job in the red zone. That was a concern after the Miami game and it is still a concern. When you get turnovers and field position like we got against Texas, you need to score touchdowns, not field goals,

I thought we came out and shot the ball real well, which is a concern in this building. With the depth perception in this building, it's sometimes a tricky place to shoot the ball. We came out early and got some extra shots in to help our guys adjust.

I thought our guys played hard and played terrific. They did everything that they could to win the basketball game. The one concern I have is with Gerald and Raymond, is that I don't want them to get discouraged. I want them to keep taking that basketball to the hole, but they get discouraged when they don't get rewarded.

I thought our big kids were terrific. Blocking shots does have a wear-down effect against certain teams, sure. But it sometimes hides bad defense, and that was my concern -- that Syracuse was able to penetrate.

I think we're very solid there. The only concern is we've got a lot of respect for Brian Lapham, a First Team All-Ivy player a year ago, and he's our best tackle.

I think we were all dismayed to find out how long the process is taking. This is of great concern to us, so we?re going to discuss speeding up the process.

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.

I think what's happening is we're having a struggle between very strong earnings (and) the counterbalancing force is the concern of rising interest rates, and so it's the fight between those two things that I think is keeping pressure on the market.

I think what really triggered the rally was the surprise cut by (Federal Reserve Chairman Alan) Greenspan in interest rates. But earnings have been good enough to continue the rally. Now the concern going forward is: Can earnings grow in 1999.

I think what is a valid concern is an overburdened FDA, and whether the FDA becomes more of a bottleneck to getting new generic drugs approved and getting the prices of drugs down,

I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL,'' Limbaugh said.

I think it was a safety concern for him and the university.

I think we can improve overall, but we're doing pretty good. Our only concern is ourselves.

I think this concern about a jobless recovery at this point is a bit premature,

It is not a question of concern but obviously a question of great interest to us.

It is of great concern that children, some under the age of 10, have been seen taking part in demonstrations and have been injured and arrested.

It is of great concern that any public building would not be equipped to evacuate people with disabilities in case of an emergency. Obviously, it is especially disappointing that it's our own state Capitol.

It is of extreme concern if our tracking system cannot track firearms. We had better make sure we know how to find them. If they are untraceable in the system it is bad enough, but if they are stolen, it is worse. We must report this to the police immediately.

It is of deep concern that British soldiers held by the police should end up being held by militia,

It is of concern that when that becomes known it might provoke further disorder.

It is not news that obesity and related disorders are a major health concern for the U.S.. If it hasn't already, many experts believe that it will soon surpass tobacco as the number-one cause of preventable death in this country.

I think that's probably more of a concern right now than the fracture of the fibula,

I think that's every manager's and every organization's concern about this, even though it's great for baseball. But they can get hurt here, too.

I think that's a reflection of the state aid, but it's also a reflection of the growing concern over property taxes.

It is important that Michigan residents express their concern and let members of Congress know that health care coverage is a critical national problem that must be a top Congressional priority. It is time to put politics aside and take meaningful steps toward solutions. In southeast Michigan, we are doing what we can to help those living without health insurance, but this is a national problem that demands national solutions.

It is important now for Blair to accept that foreign policy is a serious concern and to start to do something about it rather than being seen to brush it aside. ... must be directed against those carrying out, planning or supporting such terrorist attacks and not against those who are our allies in dealing with the terrorists.

I went many years without even associating Nagasaki with the atomic bomb. Then in the 1980s, when there was a new concern about CND and so on, Nagasaki took on this symbolic value. I felt my Nagasaki had been appropriated. It was suddenly this burning city of ashes. For me, it was where I lived until the age of 5.

I will do that. Everything that matters right now is that I'm with the Cubs, and I'm in a good position now. I don't have to get hurt. Like I said, my main concern is to be with the Cubs and help the Cubs.

I will say this: the first film that I was on was 'In the Heat of the Night', that Norman Jewison directed with Sidney Poitier. I'm on the set, and I'm totally taking it for granted. Everyone is working for everyone else and pulling for the very best, and it makes everyone better because you feel that effort and concern and appreciation.

I was kind of surprised because the way the wind was blowing, I thought there would be some concern about the possibility of rough waters.

I think the most important concern we should have at this moment is the return of the refugees. That should be the most important commitment that the international community should have at this point ... In order to achieve that ... there is no question the forces will have to be withdrawn,

It is another interesting way to look at viewer opinion, and we are going to be speaking with these companies about doing business with them, but my concern is whether or not what they monitor can be manipulated.

It is an emotional, draining year. And that's always a concern for you as a coach, especially when you are dealing with guys who go through it for the first time.

It is a matter of grave concern that at a time when the inquiry was already going on against some MPs on allegations of having accepted money for questions in the House, fresh allegations have come up against other MPs.

It is always difficult. At what level do you accept anecdotal evidence? We have enough that it's a concern for us.

It is always a concern when an important institution like the Bank of Italy comes under some uncertainty.

I think there's a little bit of concern that we might see oil prices back up above $70 and as a result of that, I think there is a little bit of a positive spin for the Canadian dollar.

I think there's always a concern you have with very successful people moving on. But at the same time, one of the things I hear from Jim all the time is about his vision and how much he likes it here. That's why I always thought we would get something done.

I think these are very winnable games for us. Our major concern is to be playing at the highest level possible.

I think there will certainly be some concern about earnings, but there are also parts of the market that will probably be grossly overvalued. I may not be an expert in all of them, but I do know that the earnings that would be produced by the businesses over their lifetime could never justify their market capitalizations; people bought them because they thought they have to go up, so in that sense, they're thinking about psychology rather than economics.

I think there is a statewide concern that we have a shiny new system that no one has any real confidence will work.

I think there is a perception that there has been a change in the district's position, which is a legitimate concern to us,

I think there is a concern that it will be perceived by the troops themselves as a lack of respect for the sacrifice they're making.

I think there is a concern that innovation only comes from two vendors living across the street of each other. Sometimes, we spend so much time worrying about what the other vendor is doing, that we stop figuring out what customers need to be successful.

I think there is a bit of a concern out there regarding the health of their advertising and e-commerce revenues and some concern regarding the backlog. I think it's possible that they could miss the (ad and e-commerce) number.

I think there's some concern with the fact that GE is a tough ship to turn around overnight, and that GE's overall picture still remains attractive, but not overly so,

I think there's some concern there. We're not being as aware and as attentive to detail as we probably should be. It seems like we're giving up at least one every game and we're going to have to change that.

I think there's a concern about the economy so I think you'll see conciliatory talk (from Fed governors). We seem to rally into Fed meetings so I would expect a slightly upward bias.

I think there must be great concern that this will descend into a spiral of violence and potentially into civil war.

I think the real concern driving corporations is that they maintain profitability and that they do so in a way that is supportive of the environmental concerns of the citizens.

I think the reason I've given it any consideration is my concern for the state and I don't think we're moving in the right direction, ... On the personal side, my family kind of feels like we've been through this. We've done this, we've done our time. And I think that's a valid position as well.

I think there are some members who would prefer that the funds rate be at 3 percent, but I suspect there is a little concern about moving too fast and upsetting the household sector.

January marked an end to the economic concern caused by the hurricanes ... and the related increase in oil prices.

Kyle is a true sportsman though. His main concern after finishing his leg was the well being of the runner he had gotten tied up with. Andrew Owens and Paul Johnson both put in solid legs to finish up that event.

Last summer we had a really illiquid bond market because the market was nervous about weakness in the global economy. These days it's an illiquid market again but the concern is more about the strength of the economy.

Last Night was pretty low-key as far as activism. But I want to know what motivated police concern to infiltrate, and there are other people in town ... who want concrete assurances they haven't been spied on.

I think everyone appreciates the fact that we were forthcoming with the information. We were all shocked that it happened, and at this point we're taking a look at everything we do and have done. Our biggest concern is for the victim and everyone else in the class.

I think, first of all, the semiconductor sector had been oversold. This was one area, the technology market that just did not perform well over the past few months. There is a lot of concern with investors whether or not this current upturn in the semiconductor industry has peaked. There is a huge debate going on whether or not we still have any growth left. And, our view has also been that, yes, we believe this is more of a seasonal slowdown than any prolonged downturn for the industry. So we think there is some legs left in the semiconductor cycle. And as a result, we would be a buyer of some of these stocks.

Is anyone going to pay attention? Who knows whether any of the policy-makers will give a hoot what the vote will be. It's one more opportunity to voice our concern and make a difference.

People are entitled to their opinion, He makes the most money, a lot of people are probably jealous of him. I don't really know. I haven't thought about it and we don't really concern ourselves with it.
