Approaches Quotes
We have two approaches in our research - the empirical model and the mechanistic model. The empirical model generates life prediction from accelerated degradation test data, while the mechanistic model relates life prediction to changes in battery materials. Our approach provides an independent measure of battery life so we don't have to rely on what battery manufacturers tell us.

Additional Quotes
The present value of the additional public expenditures created by the measure is estimated at about three percentage points of GDP. This bill, if implemented, would also have negative consequences for the private pension system, which as of the end of 2005 had $9.5 billion in assets under management.

Benchmark Quotes
There are a whole bunch of teams right now that think they have an opportunity. Everybody looks at us and says, 'If they did it, we can do it.' The measure of a great coach, player and organization is the test of time. Being recognized as good isn't a one-time thing, so you have to hang around to earn that. That's what Detroit and New Jersey have done by each winning three Cups in a 10-year span. If you want to be a benchmark team, you have to do it again.

Bar Quotes
We won't take people from bar to bar, but if they give us a call we will take them home. There's no way to measure how many lives this program may have saved during the years it has been in operation, but we feel that this has been a very valuable community service for everyone on the roadways during New Year's Eve and early New Year's Day.

Associated Quotes
We want this center to bring together the people who devise new ways to save energy, those who finance their development, the manufacturers who make the products, and the industries and consumers who buy and benefit from them. The effective management of energy costs is increasingly important as companies strive to maintain a competitive edge. The center looks forward to helping California businesses measure and mitigate these costs, and manage the competitive risks associated with energy price volatility.

Body Quotes
The fact that they tried to make the change in the first place to us was an indication that they didn't think it was any big deal to anybody, which I think is a measure of how out of touch they are with what people care about. ... For a government body to just ignore that, I think they do at their own peril.
-
Anybody Quotes
We're still working on it. We've just been on a mammoth hunt for a singer. Because of the singers the three of us have had in the past, it's sort of a big thing to measure anybody by. As for the music itself, it's a really weird cross between northern soul, reggae, New Order, Stones Roses and the Smiths. The three basses work together on a few tracks, which I was delighted about, because everyone was laughing at us for wanting to do it.
-
Activity Quotes
We have been able to objectively stand back and measure activity in the pre-term infant brain in response to a noxious or painful stimulus. That's never been done before. Anyone working with pre-term babies would feel intuitively that they're likely to feel pain - but before now we didn't know.
-
Ball Quotes
When you have the ball as long as we had (against the Jets), I think that is some measure of control. But we'd like to have more rushing yards for the number of attempts. There's no question about that. There were some positive things in the game about our running game. There are certainly a lot of things that we can work on. We'd like to be more consistent and gain a few more yards. But it is always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal-line situations, or like that third quarter when you're going into the wind, you want to try to control the clock a little bit.

Core Quotes
Unemployment at 6 percent means the Fed has just lost six full years of progress towards lower unemployment in just six quarters. With its preferred measure of core inflation at the lowest level since the 1960s, the Fed probably requires a run of monthly payroll gains of 150,000 to 200,000 before it will feel any real need to tighten.
-
Adequate Quotes
While the ideals espoused in No Child Left Behind (NCLB) are admirable, the realities of the Bush plan are not, ... NCLB imposes rigid and expensive mandates on public schools. It judges adequate yearly progress using a one-size-fits-all formula, a measure that gives schools an incentive to lower testing standards in order to meet federal requirements and, sadly, to push out students that may bring down a school's average score.
-
Companies Quotes
We've had this program since the mid-1970s and it's really become a part of the corporate culture, not just for Intel but for many other Silicon Valley companies as well, ... It's funny because you start to measure things in 7-year increments. If you say, 'I've been here for six years,' someone will always say, 'Oh! One more year till sabbatical.'
-
Attempt Quotes
What happened with the Internet is that people tended to define their companies by the channel in which they operated. But really when you look at what those businesses do, they all do the same thing. They attempt to generate response and value and measure that value. And they try to get people to engage with something deeper, like content, or whatever it might happen to be.
-
Compete Quotes
We just wanted to come out and compete and play. I think also it's more of a measuring stick for our guys. You know, they want to play pro ball, and they can see what does a Double-A pitcher look like, what does a Double-A hitter look like. And my guys always get a kick out of it. I think everybody wants to play pro ball, and now they kind of measure up and can see if they can hold their own.
-
Chase Quotes
We just stepped up to the challenge. I didn't ever think they were going to miss, and we couldn't hit anything, but we knew it was a matter of time. We're never out of a game, no matter what the score. You can't measure our pride. We just had to chase them off the 3-point line and start hitting some shots.

Campaign Quotes
The pro-82 campaign is having a tougher time now that the 'no' side has gotten under way and is raising a lot of legitimate questions. This is not about our commitment to children. It's about whether this measure is the right way to go about it, and we've made the case that it's not.
