As an overall philosophy, you want to come out in the most robust market as possible and this ain't it. The public has finally figured out that they shouldn't abandon the companies that make up the bulk of the economy.

Gail Bronson

The fact that Intel doesn't really offer very low-power x86 devices that are compatible with the Internet infrastructure and Microsoft really doesn't offer a robust Internet operating system that can be used without a hard disk drive has led to this opening. We've capitalized on both of those vectors, and customers like it and are buying it.

I think the main impact of the election has been a degree of uncertainty. Once we know who the president will be it will be very much like Y2K -- it will come and go. You have to focus on sales and earnings, and those have been pretty robust.

Phil Dow

In a robust global business environment, our business units operated well in the first quarter. More importantly, we are continuing to demonstrate our ability to deliver complex and mission critical solutions to clients all across our industry segments.

Harry You

Grant Saligari

What people in the field — the soldiers and their immediate officers — haven't really been drilled in is what to do and how to cope in particular situations.

Jemera Rone

We will make our system of checks more robust to ensure achievement of the target truly reflects the experience of patients across the country.

Lord Warner

Honestly, the fix for this is a more robust grid. Entergy has not invested in transmission as I think it should. It's a standing issue I had as a regulator and still have with this company.

Pat Wood

Iraq is just a great weight holding down perceptions of an economy that is quite robust. Whenever you have troops in harm's way, people are anxious about things in general.

Karlyn Bowman

Revenue growth in our newspaper group was very robust, driven by strong national advertising at both the Times and the Globe, ... Given our first-half performance and the outlook for the balance of the year, we believe 2000 will be yet another record year for the company.

We have reduced our inventory capacity approximately 20%, and thus we have to continue to focus on increasing our yield per minute. We are building a new 30-second marketplace, which continues to move forward, albeit more slowly than we would hope. We are also hoping for a more robust radio and advertising environment that has not materialized yet.

Mark Mays

Pioneer has a very robust research pipeline. This new research center will help us make the most of that pipeline for customers in this area. Our corn research teams will be working more closely with area farmers and will have more eyes in the fields making better product advancement decisions.

Bill Niebur

It is an immense loss to have all robust and sustaining expletives refined away from one! At. moments of trial refinement is a feeble reed to lean upon.

Alice James

What they have done so far is a start, but it does not resolve all issues. Sony has fixed the immediate security flaw but there are other flaws. It is critical for Sony to do a robust notice campaign to make people aware of this.

Kurt Opsahl

The strong rise in the prices of energy and industrial metals is hurting inflation expectations and suggests that key rates will continue to rise for the time being. This will presumably offset the positive effects for the equity market of so-far robust earnings and growth estimates.

Gerhard Schwarz

We still have our TAG clusters in elementary and we still have our TAG courses in high school. Our TAG program is as robust and alive as it ever was. It's the administrative support, generally speaking, will have to be absorbed by other administrators on campus and at the central office.

Jim Hawkins

The teams and designers are responsible for putting the boats together and deciding how we want to do that - whether we want lighter and faster materials or whether we want heavier and more robust materials.

Mike Sanderson

The turnaround can't be anywhere as robust and profound as the data said this week. At the same time, from a market perspective you have to respect that the data was above expectations. So it's a negative for bonds.

Paul Mcculley

Pausing amidst robust data contradicts earlier statements that they are data dependent. If you were someone who was looking for the Fed to protect your fixed-income investment, if they pause and they're wrong, inflation pressures can build in that period.

Scott Gewirtz

Some investors will use strong consumer confidence data as a reason to buy the dollar. The figures will likely show the U.S. economy is still robust enough for the Fed to keeping rates next year.

Kevin Fox

Hubble itself is still a robust instrument.

Mattias Mountain

Toru Umemoto

The main vulnerability here is the high and growing level of indebtedness. This poses dangers because, notwithstanding current robust economic growth in Ireland, there are domestic and external risks to the economic outlook.

John Hurley

Were very pleased to have Lauri under contract at this time. Kings fans will enjoy his robust style of play. He brings a nice mix of skill and determination to the rink each night. We look forward to him to his continued development in our organization.

Louis Kincannon

This group is as cheap as they've been in years, but there's a reason for that. Pricing is decelerating, unit volume trends aren't particularly exciting and the pipeline isn't robust.

Jeff Saut

He brings a gust of acrid provincial air to the ancient office. He is an angry young prophet rather than a smooth courtier. His verse is angular, savage, robust and very good.

Philip Howard

Scientists have long been fascinated with robust australopithecines because they were so distinctive from the neck up. Now we have evidence that they were interesting from the knee down as well.

Gary Schwartz

Happy people are more likely than their less happy peers to have fulfilling marriages and relationships, high incomes, superior work performance, community involvement, robust health and even a long life.

Naomi Fink

Despite some of the house sales data it looks as if the market is going to look for a pretty robust rise in construction activity.

Herman Schumacher

Intel was really the harbinger about the tone of the recovery, when it comes, and that means it's not going to be very robust.

Very robust rules of engagement.

The Children

Daniel Bouton

Passenger demand is robust and the cargo business should show healthy growth.

Naomi Fink

If the system was not robust enough these fluctuations would have gone unrecorded.

Siddhartha Mukherjee

We may see a flattening of the increase, but not much of a drop. The fundamentals remain strong: Employment is robust, and interest rates remain low.

Bob Walters

The real concern is over products and I expect prices for gasoline, heating oil and jet fuel to remain fairly robust.

Julian Lee

The U.S. economy is still robust and inflation, though modest, is certainly something the Fed needs to be cautious about going forward. If the data remains strong, we could see easily see 4.75 percent on the 10-year yield by the next Fed meeting.

Peter Scobie

I think there's a lot of room in the mandate as it is for robust action, ... But it's a matter for the council to decide whether they want to make it even more robust.

The economy is still on a fast track, the demand for production materials is robust, and oil prices remain high, which will combine to offset flat retail prices.

Gregg Schoenleber

We'll see how that plays out. But, for right now, we have a robust mission and are loving every minute of it.

Commander Majwalter Bradley
