The dollar lost some of its recent gains on profit-taking as there was little news for the market.

Nobuo Kihara

Jenny Teater

Those people [living in coastal communities] should be concerned but there is absolutely a plan. In light of the recent hurricanes we have learned what we can do better to strengthen our hurricane plan.

Celalettin Cerrah

With recent stock pullbacks and increased data points suggesting a bottoming out of their businesses we believe now is the time to focus more on an investment rather than just a trade.

Trey Walker

The recent buying is really just the start.

Yale Zhang

The (more recent) studies that have been done, one of the reasons frankly that I think they haven't been followed up on, is they haven't found many positives. You don't get too excited about all negative serology (blood work).

Pablo Zuanic

We have supported the drug court and have even appointed one of our employees to serve on the drug court committee, ... But she has not been easy to get along with. When she came over to our board meeting to talk about the drug court, she was very hostile when we asked her questions.

Ryutaro Kono

The resilience of Western economies to recent oil shocks has been remarkable.

Andrew Oswald

A great demand today is that work should be interesting. This is a recent development in human history, and workers in field or factory over the centuries would have been greatly puzzled by it.

George Watson

To beat Australia the opposing captain has to be prepared to attack and use his initiative, as Michael Vaughan so expertly displayed in the recent Ashes series, and on what I have seen so far, this is beyond Smith.

Steve Appleton

We view the recent sell off as a buying opportunity.

Tom Kenny

Month-end demand is gone now that we're in a new month and what we're seeing is unwinding of recent flattening positions.

Lucian James

These data do further indicate that the housing market has stabilized at a much less ebullient level than seen in the recent boom years. We continue to look for modest house- price inflation going forward.

Mete Sozen

Temperatures have been climbing in recent years at the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.

Wang Ling
