January Quotations | Page 4

We haven't specifically talked about it as a church, but it definitely brought back some thoughts from January 2004. But they've been in our prayers. There's no question about that.

We haven't seen a labor market this strong since prior to January 2001. This is a significant gain.

We invite all Canadians who share their names with any of the contenders for Canada's next prime minister to take advantage of this great offer and fly free on Tuesday, January 24, 2006.

We are beginning the contest on the heels of the AMBER Alert Awareness Day Proclamation issued by Governor Blunt on January 13. It is our hope that by partnering with schools throughout the state, this contest and awareness campaign will help protect Missouri children.

We hope that the lessons learned in the January election and the referendum will enable them to perform even better.

We're definitely going to be ahead of the January predictions.

Yes, the economy is slowing, but New Zealand is not in recession. Even if you take January and February together, you've still got retail sales travelling at 1.1% for the quarter. Sales growth was also much broader in February.

We're a little bit surprised by the continued strength, because typically January is a month that shows a slowdown in hiring.

We expect 1.8 million bpd by January. We are looking at substantial increases after the January elections when parliament will act on oil production through some form of association with international companies,

We exchanged photographs three months later and in January I went to Vegas for some temp attorney work, to play some poker and meet Jackie. The day before we met, we actually spoke on the telephone for the first time. I knew we had a connection, but didn't know where it would go. I'd never met anyone on the Internet before, let alone on a poker site. We only used IM for such a long time, but I felt the closeness between us.

We eagerly look forward to seeing our domestic players. We want to do the best job we can of making the roster as competitive as possible over the next six months so we can position our team to be successful in the World Cup. We view this camp and the games in January and February as critical towards our preparation for Germany.

We really work hard before the season and during the season ... at focusing on what's going on this second. I think there's a lot more people outside of our building that talk about that (the BCS), what's going to go on in January and whatever.

We have stretches in games where we kind of lose our train our thought, we start opening up and making mistakes in different areas. We really got to make sure that we do the right things for 60 minutes. We had that nice little stretch in January when we did that and were successful.

Well, it is true that they did - the Pentagon did impose rules for governing the handling of the Koran in January of 2003, after there had been complaints about the handling of the Koran from detainees, from the International Red Cross.

We had hoped the hearings would be finished by the end of the year. However, we have tremendous confidence in Sen. Specter, who handled Chief Justice Roberts' confirmation process so well. We are encouraged by the bipartisan momentum that has set the vote on the Senate floor for January 20th.

We had felt auto sales would be the wart, the one thing pulling consumer spending down in the month, but these sales were solid. Depending on what we get for employment Friday it looks like January economic activity will turn out to be quite solid.

We had unusually bad weather in many parts of the country in December, and the conditions in January were extraordinarily warm.

We will see. I am not going to prophesize to you. I am not that good. I am going to tell you that we are going to work as hard as we can and do the best we can. We will find that out when it?s January and February.

We have to hold ourselves more accountable. Two years ago, I played on a team that went 1-10 in January and went on to win the Stanley Cup. We had good character guys. We have good character guys here. We just have to rise to the challenge and have to push each other.

With the Dow and Nasdaq having moved up the way they have, it's only normal to see a bit of a pullback from time to time. But you still have a lot of seasonal factors to come into play. November through January has historically been great for stocks, and I think it will be almost a self-fulfilling prophecy as investors start trickling back into the market.

We have an exciting January coming up. It's going to be a good way to start the year.

We have already made a plan to hold another round early next year, maybe at the end of January or early February.

We can sustain the expansion. Come January and February, people are going to get hammered with huge heating bills. But once they get past that, they'll be O.K. I have no beef with a forecast of 3.5 percent GDP growth next year.

We have three or four months to get through. In January we need to reinforce the squad. We were thinking about a right-winger and centre half, everyone knows that, but when people say we left it until the last minute, that's not true,

Typically January is our coldest month. It's definitely been a bit above normal.

Trends in January and February are notoriously bad at predicting upcoming activity. Is the market taking a breather? Or is it starting to tumble? It's impossible to say, there's nothing really ominous in the numbers, but we won't know for another couple of months.

When I first arrived in Baghdad in January 2003, I thought I would soon rent a house and envisioned myself swimming in the Tigris to cool off after reporting in the city the caliphs called Madinit al-Salam, the City of Peace. A year later, I realized I wouldn't be taking any midnight dips - Madinat al-Salam no more.

We need to stop the airlines from pulling out in December, January and February. We need to look at ways to keep that from happening.

We needed to have our (asset management) plan to the council by January 31 of this year. At that point we were not clear as to what the school department was asking for.

The Preparatory Commission held a total of four sessions, the last of which took place just under two years after its creation, from 31 January to 14 February 1967.

The preparation and the process of guaranteeing Iraqis a vote since January has been difficult, due to security issues. But despite these huge challenges, we achieved our objective and managed to hold the follow up election in December.

Those consumer-oriented stocks gained quite aggressively yesterday after the January retail sales data, which was a pretty good number, so we saw a bit of profit taking today.

We remain committed to accelerating our business plan. We will provide more details on January 23.

We remain committed to accelerating our business plans. As we've said, further details of those plans will be announced in January and we really cannot comment further at this time.

We are pleased that our earnings and resulting strong cash flow enable us to provide an improved return to our shareholders in the form of dividends. Our goal is to ensure that our yield remains competitive. This increase is the eighth time since January 2003 we have raised the dividend, representing a 94 percent increase during that period.

The overall indication in January is continued economic growth in the non-manufacturing sector, but at slower rates of increase.

Wheat in many areas greened up in January and can no longer be considered dormant.

We disclosed this to Oracle on Oct. 25 last year. Around the same time, they were alerted to another high-risk flaw that is not as serious as this one. They fixed that one in the January CPU but neglected to fix this. It's not a case of not having enough time, because the fix is trivial and the risks are severe.

We are not looking forward to February 11 when we may have to revert to the system in place on January 3 and 4.

We had an opportunity to sign Guerrero in January '04. I called him and literally in a minute I had a response from him. So it wasn't one of those things where you say, 'Hey, we're going to commit 70 million bucks here; let's go think about this.'

We have looked at players over the course of January and obviously decisions will be based on this. We need midfield cover, that is absolutely essential. It's important too that we plan with players who will be capable of doing a given job on a given day.

We definitely are going to stick to the timetable of elections in January next year,

We deferred taking any action until we were assured that Coach Martz had regained his health. His doctor advised us that Mike was fully recovered on January 1, 2006.

We're likely to see large upward revision to earlier data, so it'll be harder for January to show a big gain.

We're kind of back to where we were four or five weeks ago. We're in this transitional environment, where after the December and early January run there seems to be a cap on the upside, but there's also no major negatives pulling us down.

Was that your view on January 6, 1999?

Yeah, I do. It's a big comfort level. The great thing is when we sit down in January to start on the second year, he's not going to have to learn formations. He already knows all the plays, all the formations. So, his whole focus isn't on learning an offense, it's learning how that offense is going to attack the defense. That's where the comfort level comes in in the second year.

We're encouraging people to hang in there. In Missouri, the flu season doesn't peak until January or February, and it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to take full effect, so there really is plenty of time for most people. There still is some concern for high-risk groups, who should have been first in line. Those are the folks we're encouraging to stay on the line with physicians and with county health departments to find out where the vaccine will be. But for the rest of us who are healthy and don't have a chronic illness or health problems, there really is plenty of time. We just need to be patient.

There are not a lot of surprises here. We knew February will be a down month in spending after a torrid January due to mild weather. This is exactly what we got.

We worked their tails off in December and January, and we took our lumps back then knowing that this is what we work for. They understand that. They were able to overcome the setbacks in January and realized they believed in themselves, we believed in them and that's all that mattered.

We won't know for another couple of months if this is a lull in the market or part of a longer-term downturn. It's always difficult to project from trends we see in January and February. The March numbers will tell us much more about what's going on.

We believe Dell will preannounce a miss for the January quarter, most likely within the next two weeks. We also think the company will use the opportunity to lower next year's sales growth outlook from 20 percent to 15-20 percent,

We began using saliva testing in January of 2002. It has been a phased-in process, which is now about 80 percent complete. We switched because it is less invasive and better for our employees and there is also a cross-savings for the company.

The decision for me to step aside, effective January 1, will permit the university to identify and select the next director of athletics, and then let that person evaluate the program during the season before conducting a national search. I would assume Andy will get serious consideration during that process,

We start getting them about spring when it warms up. It's rare for us to get them in January and February, but the winter's been warm, and we're getting them a little earlier.

The critical numbers will be the data on January which are due in a couple of months, but there are no signs of inflation-busting pay deals from these numbers and we expect that to remain the case.

The fact that the January number is back up to the higher level we saw in August 2005 indicates that the demand for labor is holding steady and seems to have weathered the hurricane and energy-related effects of last fall. The January online help-wanted ad volume is consistent with what we are seeing from the Consumer Confidence Survey. In January, consumers were more upbeat about current economic conditions, and they were especially more positive about the job market.

We'll sit down as a team in mid January and look at all the data from the tests and make a decision from there. Katherine, along with the other drivers we've been looking at, will certainly be in the mix when we get to that point.

Pale January lay In its cradle day by day Dead or living, hard to say.

We should still have a pretty good quarter for consumer spending. January retail sales, excluding autos, were very strong.

We painted all the buildings wild colors two years ago, and we think it looks pretty good. Last year, we had the schoolchildren paint crazy stuff on the tables. We use everybody, young and old, and probably average about 45 people every Saturday from January on.

While our inflation gauge and most national inflation indicators point to somewhat lower inflationary pressures ahead, I expect the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee to raise interest rates at its next meeting on Jan. 31. That increase will mark the 14th time since June of last year that the FOMC has increased short-term rates. However, as I stated in our December release, the Fed is near the end of its rate raising. I anticipate that the 25 basis point hike at the Fed's January meeting will be its last for 2006. Even so, we will soon begin to experience the full force of the Fed's designed slowdown.

We view this camp and the games in January and February as critical towards our preparation for Germany.

We have been quite skeptical throughout January because data tend to be erratic around the holidays and the turn of the year.

We have five winnable games. They're not going to be easy. We've got to go out there and play. January will tell what we're about, what we're made of. We just need to do some soul-searching and come in with some heart.

When people come to our stores to buy a new PC or new software for their PC, we want to be able to offer them a broad set of choices, immediate availability and a great retail experience. We agree with Microsoft that it's best to do this right -- and in this case it's delivering Windows Vista-based PCs with confidence in January 2007.

When Mr. Rove purchased the home in January 2001, he qualified for the exemption. He was not made aware of the changes in D.C. law. Now that it has been brought to his attention, he is making restitution. He certainly was not trying to mislead anybody.

The reason we moved the date was to appeal to newly engaged couples from Valentine's Day, as opposed to January and dealing with weather related attendance last year where temperatures cut the crowds down.

We sat down as a group in January and decided that was going to be one of our goals. A good part of this program is built on getting to the state meet and doing well.

We kept missing some spark in January and it's been unfortunate. We need to execute better. We've lost some close ones that have put us in this position. We're one of them most talented teams in central Ohio and I expect that we'll be right back into second.

Why? Because it's January and you can't worry about it. I don't think we had a bad performance, but I didn't think anybody stepped up and had a big performance.

We've collected $4 million more from January to March over last year. And the number of land parcels has gone up as well. Automobile registration is following the same path. Last year we had roughly 125,000 vehicles and this year we're expecting to have 130,000 vehicles in the county.

We had a bit more hiring this time around during the holiday, meaning things were pretty good in the economy. So the seasonal reduction is a little more than normal. A lot of the holiday hiring ends in January and it pretty much finishes up in February.

We had a $10 billion budget deficit when we got here in January of 2003. We cut that budget deficit; we did not raise taxes; we came back in '05, and we had an $8 billion surplus. That's how fast it can happen.

While growing 5,6% (in January) compared with January last year, production in the sector declined on a seasonally adjusted basis by 2,7% from December.

The question to ask is: Who will care if Microsoft misses the date again. I've been saying since the (March) delay that from a sales perspective, January might as be July, that January release builds in room to move the date again, if needed.

We have signed a contract based on a European price formula, which allows us to begin selling gas at a price of $230 for 1,000 cubic meters starting from January 1.

This will be the coldest night in three years in Central Florida. The last time we were below freezing here in Orlando was back in January of 2003 but it is likely to happen tonight.

When you get suckered into a nice January with relatively mild temperatures, you think this isn't possible. But clearly it is.

The only disappointing part is that my holiday at home has been cut short by a couple of weeks due to some schedule changes that require me back in India earlier in January than I was hoping for.

With consumer price inflation below the 2% target level in both December and January and clearly below the levels forecast by the Bank of England in their November quarterly inflation report, a near-term interest rate cut suddenly looks a very real possibility again.

With Oregon weather unpredictable this time of year, and the fact that it will take some time to line up contractors, it's better to wait until 2006 to begin the remodeling, ... We're also going to wait on the interior work until January so that tenants can get through the busy holiday season.

We need to be ready to ship our products right away at the beginning of the year, so a show in October or even early November would be much more preferable, where we would know exactly what the orders are. By the time January rolls around, it's too late, which means we have to make our best guess for what we'll need.

We will likely see quite a reversal of the January surge in housing starts during February as a mid-month blizzard blanketed the East Coast under heavy banks of snow.

We will likely see payback in February for the outsized January surge. It is unlikely that the combined data for the two months alter the robust trajectory.

We've played a lot of games in January and up to this point. And we'll play a lot after the break. So it's important for guys to get the rest.
