Agreements Quotes
While not that material to the company, it is a step in the right direction.

-
Age And Aging Quotes

Actual Quotes
There has to be some sort of officiating of the actual laws of the game. Rugby is in a really negative spiral at the moment where the game is rewarding negativity at the tackle contest.

Among Quotes
There are large question marks among many Israelis about what Sharon will do the day after evacuations are completed, ... Many think he will not go further than this.

-
Belief Quotes
When you know you're going to be in heaven with your Maker one day, you think about doing what's right?not what you can get away with, ... There's no hiding from God. That belief is what kept me from falling into a corporate culture that outwardly encouraged individuals to display respect and integrity while encouraging them to compromise whenever it was expedient, rationalizing the compromise because 'everyone else does it.'
-
Barriers Quotes
With our focus on upscale, full-service brands in major urban markets, we benefited fully from the continuing growth in transient business demand and the increased competitive strength of our portfolio.

Areas Quotes
We are executing better in key areas of our business, and we are also encouraged by the fact that input cost inflation trends for some items are moderating following the significant cost increases we experienced in recent quarters, ...

Add Quotes
We are encouraged that these new data, combined with the funds available to states, will add an extra incentive for Kansas legislators to pass a primary seat belt law.

We are encouraged not only by these preliminary results, but also by the level of collaboration in the Parkinson's community. These findings represent the efforts of pharmacologists, clinicians, statisticians, and clinical trial experts including NINDS staff who have come together with academia, industry, patients, and foundation groups to advance the development of innovative therapies for Parkinson's. The exceptional speed of patient recruitment allowed us to finish this study in record time.

Action Quotes
We are encouraged by the president's call for the renewal of the Ryan White CARE Act. For the second year in a row, the president has used his annual address to the nation as an opportunity to highlight the need to renew and to improve legislation that serves low income people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States. We must turn the president's calls into action and press lawmakers to immediately tackle this critical issue.

Barriers Quotes
We are encouraged by the number of planning teams interested in thinking about their education delivery system in a different way. Far beyond being dependent on our industrial past, we recognize that it is time to move forward in preparing for the information age; we must break down barriers that prevent students from succeeding and create smoother paths to success for our students - ultimately for the benefit of our local and state economies, and our society.
-
Accumulate Quotes
We are encouraged by the efforts to accumulate data on individual students, but there is one piece missing: the data that will tell us why individual students are not reaching the goals we have set for them. That piece is key for principals and their staff to make a positive impact on their students.
-
Credits Quotes
Under the school policy, they would be able to come back to school. They have to reapply. All of them have been encouraged to do that, and it will just be up to them if they would like to do that. I know some have already made plans to come back to summer school to get their credits and all that, so we will be in good shape for next year.

Advantage Quotes
Both properties now are essentially brand new hotels and were open in time to take advantage of the high winter season. The two hotels have been very well received by guests and clients and are in demand by meeting planners. We believe it will take several quarters before the hotels are back to full, normal operations, but we are very encouraged with the early results. Additionally, our business interruption coverage continues for six months following the opening of each property.

Advantage Quotes
We were encouraged that the premiums in the Medical Segment increased from the third to the fourth quarter, ending a long trend. In addition, we were pleased with the sales results that rose substantially compared to last quarter, the same period last year as well as overall for the year. We attribute this sales success largely to the Advantage Series of major medical products introduced in mid-2005. These plans, which offer customers a wide choice of benefit levels and prices, have been well received by our agents and by consumers. The Advantage Series is built on a new rate manual that allows for pricing consistency for all our individual/association products and distribution channels.

Effective Quotes
We wanted to test whether quizzes encouraged greater memory retention over review. We found that the groups had no statistical differences, meaning that quizzes were not a harmful activity. That's an interesting finding for this pilot study. It suggests that the idea of giving quizzes regularly is worth further exploration and that quizzes might be better used as an effective teaching tool.

Celebrate Quotes
We will now celebrate Coretta Scott King as though the civil rights movement is finished and the mission has been accomplished, but the work is not done. We should be very respectful of and encouraged by the substantial progress that has been made. But in no way, shape or form should we conclude that the civil rights mission is complete.

Excited Quotes
We don't want to take things for granted. We've just encouraged our guys to ? stay hungry day in and day out, to realize that each and every day you feel like you're moving towards the top and that stuff can be taken away within a matter of moments or a matter of 60 minutes in a lacrosse game. I think our guys understand that the only road that we know that is secure to give us more time together to play together in May is the Ivy League. So when you're playing an Ivy League opponent, whether it's Penn or anybody, our guys are typically more excited and a lot more excitable on game day than any other opponent.
-
Added Quotes
We should be better than we were last year. I'd be disappointed if we weren't showing improvement. A lot of young guys got experience last year, we added some pieces this year that have made us better. The longer guys spend in a system, the better they should get. We're not there yet, and we can get a lot better. But I think everyone's encouraged by the progress we're showing. Our next step is to turn the losses into wins. We need to get to a point where we're not happy just to be competitive.
