Billy Chadwick
This raises an interesting question: Who really benefits from union representation?

Mayor Scott Slifka

Tim Woolston

The curve inversion is just a temporary phenomenon. It cannot last as the Fed raises rates.

Matthew Miller
They see someone cares and it raises the level of importance.

Chuck Thompson
The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.

Allison Funk

Ann Kaplan
He raises the I.Q. of your basketball team ? he helps us tremendously.

Matthew Miller
The numbers are consistent with the view that the Fed raises rates again next week.
Omer Esiner

Ryan Demmy Bidwell
By cooperating with the authorities we can improve people's lives. By giving them access to the Internet, this raises awareness in differences in government approaches, and increase forces for change.
Robin Pembrooke
Everything we've been saying was vindicated by that report. A lack of competition raises prices. I don't know how much more evidence the Legislature needs.
Nancy Christensen
All elections revolve around and are often resolved by who raises the most money. That's unfair. I'd like to see that process changed, but it seems once you win and get to Congress, that doesn't happen.
John Murray

John Nicholson

Yolanda Cruz
This raises the odds that manufacturing payrolls may finally break through on Friday and register a gain.

Philip Thompson
Strong payroll growth raises inflationary concerns.
Amitabh Arora
They would like to get pay raises to keep up with costs of living, which we would also like to consider. But obviously, the two things (raises and health and pension costs) will require a lot of negotiation to find a solution that meets both sides' needs. It's just taking us longer to get there, but we'll get there.
Lynelle Jolley
Oil prices may stay high this year and that raises concerns about the U.S. economy as they have a significant impact on the country's growth.

Tom Kleckner
This raises the chances of an easing in French and German rates before the year end.

Alan Johnson
It raises the stakes, there's no doubt about that.
Gene Marsh
Hope raises no dust.
Paul éluard
Students will vote and which ever band raises the most money is the winner.
Kelly Cooper
I think it raises a red flag in the eyes of the public that an individual would make a call to the Governor's Office to seek $5,000 in bail money. There is certainly the appearance that she may have been seeking some favorable disposition to her legal situation by calling the Governor's Office... It calls into question his judgment.
Judy Nadler
A number of the high tech names are getting smacked real good. It was already a market where investors were nervous already. With the darlings getting hit, that raises the anxiety level.
Al Goldman
This definitely raises expectation levels. Now I just have to keep it up.
Kevin Kring
It is our firm belief that this shift in burden is offensive to over 100 years of public policy in Florida and raises serious constitutional issues.
Barbara Petersen
It raises the specter of a conflict of interest. It's an ethical question.
Roberta Baskin
Where alternatives are available, this raises questions about whether a portion of these types of patients can be appropriately treated in non-emergency department settings, such as primary health care clinics.
Jennifer Zelmer
I think we've tried to be competitive but start our people at the bottom with the expectation if they do a good job, they will get raises over the years.
Cynthia Lowery
The (new act) raises the standard of young people being placed in custody. It is to happen in the most serious cases only.
Paul Whitehead
Correctional officers really do have a lot of control over the lives of inmates. It raises enough questions (about whether) the person in their words or their minds are willing.
Mike Prentiss
The reality is that if the Fed raises interest rates by a quarter of a point all that's doing is serving to keep inflationary pressures under control.
John Shaughnessy
It raises questions. How could this be in the best interest of the business? If it's not in the best interest of the business, why is the company lending its staff and resources to the chairman for his personal use?
Paul Lapides
There's no question that since (the Bears) have grown up with (the Trojans), ... There's a lot of familiarity with the people involved. That raises the attention level, because you're playing with your peers.
Jeff Tedford
This really raises the stakes in European banking consolidation.
Matthew Czepliewicz
The mother basically raises her baby above her while she performs the exercises. It's a great way for mother and child to spend time together.

Steve Turley
What it does signify is the growing issues over intellectual property and patents within the IT industry, and it raises some important questions around what it is right to patent.
Bola Rotibi
Bode raises the question, but there is not a question. There was not a big discussion or a fight. It's very clear that the ski tip has to cross the gate line, and it's more than obvious that he was straddling the gate.
Guenther Hujara
I bet $5,000, ... Kido calls and raises $20,000. The other guy and I call the $20,000 rather quickly, hoping that it goes check-check on the river.

Kathleen Stoll

My question is: If a kid raises a question in class, what do I do? Do I just say, 'Sorry, I can't answer that'?

Scott Coleman
I think this type development raises the status of the county.
George Montgomery
Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious.
Wangari Maathai
I think that pay raises and adding positions will have a positive effect on morale. These officers have been overworked.
Rep. Stacey Reece
There was a time when everyone remembered that stupid thing about me not getting out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. These days, it's far more important to me that I'm part of a team which raises over $1 million a month for Aids. I'm much more proud of that, than that other old quote.
Linda Evangelista
[The index] raises the issue of whether the consumer, which up until now had been hanging in there pretty well, is starting to break up, and I think that is going to prove a critical issue in the next several months.

This is not good; it raises concerns about the sustainability of China's growth.
Rob Subbaraman
We should note that there will never be merit raises.
Larry Wolf
It just raises all your costs.
John Baillie
It raises the question, where are all these people going to go?
Scott Amrhein
This study raises concern about the relationship between the products that promote alcohol brands and early-onset teen drinking.
Auden Mcclure
One of our jobs is to keep an eye on California in case it gets too utterly bizarre. A glitch in California raises (electricity) prices from Alberta to West Texas.
Robert Mccullough
We believe that advertising is beneficial to our customers as it raises awareness of product availability and draws attention to money saving opportunities, providing a true win-win situation for dentists and companies serving the dental industry.
Pat Cassidy
On a more intermediate term basis it raises additional questions about the future application footprint, Project Fusion.
Tom Berquist
Everyone seems to be feeling that great change is in the offing, but nobody knows what it's going to be. And that raises questions about the creative class.
Larry Harvey
There's hardly any business rationale for this deal. It really dilutes the image of Porsche, and raises questions about whether the management has control over the capital of the company.
Arndt Ellinghorst
It certainly raises the bar as far as the challenge before us.
Andy Landers
It just seems a little unseemly for them to be considering pay raises. That's an arrogant situation to be in.
Bob Kessler

Dwight Davis
Because the historical literature talks about his clumsy gait . . . it raises the possibility that that was caused by a mutation in this gene.
Laura Ranum
We have some schools where 50% to 70% of students failed the exam, ... How denying diplomas to 60% to 70% of students raises standards is beyond me.
Karen Bass
He's amazing, really; he definitely has a gift. He never raises his voice; he never hits the animals. He doesn't just train dogs, like in obedience school; he rehabilitates them.
Loretta Hyde
The reduction of precipitation from clouds affected by desert dust can cause drier soil, which in turn raises more dust, thus providing a possible feedback loop to further decrease precipitation.
Daniel Rosenfeld
It appears there is some evidence that the officers and agents are being instructed to treat the amphitheater differently from other ABC licensees, which, if true, raises many serious legal and ethical questions.
Kevin Martingayle
In the minds of economy watchers, it raises a bit of a cause for concern.
Dennis Hoffman
It raises the question in my mind, how much did the credentialing committees know about previous behavior and did they take that into consideration.
Nancy Adams
This case raises particular concerns given some of the items to be exported.
Jesus Torres
He just totally raises the bar for our team. We've got guys doing things they probably wouldn't normally be able to do because of him pushing everyone. He's definitely a rare gem.
Brent Moore
I think CA remains very much a work in process. This raises further questions about the recovery of CA. It raises questions about exactly what is happening.
Kevin Buttigieg
The death of chief justice Rehnquist and the president's nomination of John Roberts raises the stakes for the court and the American people exponentially.
Ralph Neas
As long as the BOJ raises interest rates in tandem with the economic recovery, there should be no negative impact on the stock market.
Susumu Abe
It's a temporary tool and as soon as Congress raises the limit, all interest will be restored and there will be no adverse consequences for G-fund investors.
Brookly Mclaughlin
We need those officers. We pay them well in order to keep them, and that's why they got raises.
Chuck Reed
You're working, but we're not getting as many raises as we used to.
Frank Mcdonald
North Korea's action today, disputing arrangements for IAEA monitoring of the spent fuel rods, raises further serious concerns and belies North Korea's announced justification to produce electricity.
Lou Fintor
It raises the question ... are we getting our money's worth? Are we capturing the full value of that significant investment?
Hamilton Moses
This fact raises clear questions about the integrity of the internal ethical wall that purportedly separates Deutsche Bank's asset management division from its commercial division.
William Chandler
It raises the bar for commercial products, because vendors have to offer value on top of what open-source solutions can give you.
Jason Bloomberg
If a nominee has been very active in either organization, it raises some red flags. If you have that membership and a record of activism, that compounds the felony.
Sheldon Goldman
The project raises some concerns.
Craig Adams
In a major constitutional case where the vice president's personal conduct is an issue, we are concerned. It certainly raises questions about the appearance of impropriety.
David Bookbinder
This is a very saddening and distressing situation. It raises a lot of questions, and we are coordinating with law enforcement to get those answered.
Liz Barker
The board members don't engage in the mailing-list discussions, except for Esther, and that raises questions as to how steeped in the issues they are. [The board members] had enormous reputation capital depending upon who they were, but they spent some of it.
Michael Froomkin
The fact that the Baghdad court was set up by an interested party leads to worries that it is not impartial and raises fears of a show trial.
Branislav Tapuskovic
The summertime impacts are especially intense with the deterioration of air quality, because higher air temperatures increase ozone. That has health effects for everyone. We also run an increased risk of major heat waves and blackouts as the heat island effect raises demand for electricity.
Stuart Gaffin
It still raises the question whether or not this is an appropriate technology. There are still some essential concerns about whether this is secure or not.
Barry Steinhardt
The credit card interchange system serves as a hidden tax, both on merchants and consumers, and raises the costs of all products. These credit card fees have rapidly increased over the past several years.
Hank Armour
It will add to the Reserve Bank's nervousness. It raises the risk that the housing market doesn't slow.
Anthony Byett
Right away that raises a red flag with me when you say you are limiting tree removal. I wasn't aware there would need to be any tree removal. Have any comments come back from the G.L.E.N. Committee?
Margaret Moggio
The department raises the issue of passing on savings to the consumers who are truly affected by high airline prices, compared to shareholder concerns.
Kurt Kawafuchi
Not only are some of them not making money with their degrees, they are missing out on raises and promotions.
Katie Marquard
This dramatically raises the market potential.
Jennifer Chao
I think it raises the possibility of another merger if this one gets through.
Gareth Thomas
It raises questions about our culture. Sometimes things are percolating through our lives and it's hard to make sense of them. Because it's not an event, it is something that happens culturally.
Steve Pierce
Raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Arthur Andersen
Obviously, this is an age where chronic conditions start popping up. This raises concerns about people's ability to maintain their health as they move toward retirement and toward Medicare.
Sara Collins
The raises in interest rates will reduce the willingness and ability of consumers to continue their pace of borrowing. This is both directly -- through the cost of debt -- and indirectly -- because it's likely to slow house price appreciation.
Scott Hoyt
Health-care costs are having a significant negative impact for a large number of those business owners. What it's specifically impacting is the hiring of new employees and the size of raises.

Nothing in the world raises prices like an excess of demand over supply.

It raises awareness and encourages them to seek medical attention if they think they have a particular disease.
Gaile Renegar
This is the only factor that raises the hope that the Maoists would extend the ceasefire.
Yubaraj Ghimire
These events typically address platform strategy, loyalty structures, development-related plans and other details that aren't as interesting to us, but the fact that they opened the meeting up raises the possibility that there might be more.
Yuta Sakurai
It's more informational, so the public understands the plight of the flight attendants and why they have not been getting pay raises.
Jack Hunter
Already the Federal Reserve is indicating an increased degree of inflationary concern and this would only be exacerbated by further depreciation [of the dollar]. That raises the potential for rates in 2005 to be higher than might otherwise be considered optimal.
Louise Purtle
It was nice. Hopefully it raises some money - and what better cause? Our moms have been a big part of all of our careers, and I don't think any of us would be playing without their help.
Sean Avery
When a member of the House moves over to the Senate, he raises the IQ of both bodies.
Senator Everett Dirksen
Most people will have a double take. It raises the novelty level and makes it somewhat more fun.
Edward Morrison
He takes bread, he raises his eyes to heaven, he breaks the bread, he blesses it, he eats the bread and he distributes it among us. And the bread that he will bless will be for us the true body of our Lord.
Edgar Wells
I think it is a powerful statement. It raises fundamental issues of morality, trust.
Zbigniew Brzezinski
Confirmation in Nigeria also raises doubts about the detection and reporting capabilities of northern and western African countries such as Ghana, Togo, Benin, Niger, Libya and Egypt.
