I guess sometimes the ground can shift between your feet. Sometimes your footing slips. You stumble. And sometimes you grab what's close to you and hold on as tight as you can.

The Wonder Years

The market's been hoping the Fed will announce a shift toward a neutral bias (towards future interest-rate changes), which could help the U.S. market recover.

Toshihiko Matsuno

We do not think there is a mode shift (from air to ground shipments, ... We believe that the express-intensive businesses are the ones that have been punished the most in the recession and the slow recovery.

Alan Graf

I think it's very unfortunate that [he] is trying to shift some blame for his own criminal conduct.

Donald Watkins

With agents rapidly shifting to contact centers that either remunerate better or offer better incentives, recruiting, managing and retaining staff has become one of the biggest issues that contact centers across Asia Pacific need to deal with.

Shivanu Shukla

It's like uncorking the world's most carbonated beverage. What happens when a planet gets decompressed by 50 percent is something we don't understand very well at this stage, but it can shift the chemistry and physics all over the place, producing a complexity of materials that could very well account for the heterogeneity we see in meteorites.

Quentin Williams

Naturally I will take another look at our strategy here, considering many opinions from within and outside the company. But that doesn't mean there will be a large shift in strategy ... There will not be a big change in direction.

Takashi Sensui

Criminals may be dumb, but they're not stupid. They know on the petty thefts that if they get arrested early in a police officer's shift, there's a really good chance they'll be back on the street before that police officer finishes his shift that day.

William Young

What Canada needs is a shift in focus away from consumption and towards savings and investment.

Don Drummond

It may well be that, because of his strong respect for precedent, he wouldn't really shift anything to the right.

John Fee

You're seeing a wholesale shift around TV content from cable to broadband.

Kaan Yigit

Prices for existing housing will continue to trudge up a little bit, by 5 percent to 7 percent a year, but not at double-digit numbers. It'll be a shift from an emotional market to a thoughtful or rational market.

Mark Riedy

Whenever there is a power cut, the whole shift is distorted and time is lost. Time cannot be reversed.

David Murangari

That's all good theory and rhetoric but this real-life circumstance here, it's green, it's thick and good to have and I'm not shifting.

Mark Latham

If you're doing a total paradigm shift and completely changing the investment mandate of the fund, then at least in theory, the positions are not going to make sense.

Meredith Jones

We have begun to shift the paradigm.

Ricardo Fernandez

We are shifting resources from more administrative to more technical . . . This is a growth strategy.

Thomas Burke

It may just be that a true wake-up call creates a true shift in consciousness. My wake-up call left me no choice. I had to make dramatic changes. Sometimes changes just happen within you, it is the way you approach things. Everything else stays the same.

Cheryl Richardson

It could shift at any point. It's really a matter of not taking any chances, having the supplies in place.

Carrie Martin

There's been a significant amount of pressure to go back to the way things were. This [Stevens] bill as it stands now would preserve the 1996 shift to sustainability. That's first and foremost the most critical feature of the legislation.

Lee Crockett

This is primarily a political move designed to bolster his chances of being elected leader of the Conservative Party. Clarke was looking increasingly isolated and clearly he has had to shift his views.

Peter Dixon

Results for Winnebago Industries' fourth quarter were negatively impacted by lower sales volume and a shift in product mix to lower priced motor homes, particularly Class C's, offset in part by lower incentive compensation expenses.

Bruce Hertzke

A shift in culture at Brown is what we need to all be considering. Let's provide alternatives, prevention programs, ways to keep alcohol from being the center of culture at Brown.

Nancy Barnett

The consciousness of people whose natural bent is to support the president and the military and the status quo is shifting. If America ever rises up, Camp Casey is what it will look like--not an anarchist street party.

Starhawk

Liberation is an ever shifting horizon, a total ideology that can never fulfill its promises. It has the therapeutic quality of providing emotionally charged rituals of solidarity in hatred -- it is the amphetamine of its believers.

Arianna Stassinopoulos

If there is no stimulus of mechanical action on the bone, the surrounding bone will gradually disappear. An implant will also keep teeth from shifting and the bite from collapsing. And, the implant does not rely on adjacent teeth for support.

Dr. Peter Laliberte

With the data showing a 0.5 percent rise, the BOJ could take a step forward to shifting the policy without hesitation.

Susumu Kato

We need a platform to (present) Republican issues. With all Democratic control it will be all about (Gov.) Brian Schweitzer all the time. With Republican majorities, we can shift some of the focus back on us.

Chuck Denowh

We're seeing shrinking builder profit margins, and more and more incentives being offered to attract buyers. That's an indication of a shift to a buyers' market.

Alexis Mcgee

The tax base will shift more to where they have their residences, instead of where they work. That's where they will pay their property taxes, buy their groceries, buy their cars.

Loren Scott

The economy continues to shift towards those areas which require high skills and a higher degree of education.

Steve Hine

Similar to the oil sector in 2003-2004, we believe long-term pricing or sustainability assumptions may be shifting in the metals.

Tony Lesiak

I think there is more to this market than just a fund bubble. There is a shift of capital and it is likely to be for the long term.

Peter Hillyard

Fuel prices would have to go to European levels for that to happen. If it stays (in the $3 to $4 per gallon range) it will result in some market shift. It has to.

Robert Lutz

The shift to convenience and home meal replacement is becoming a norm.

Kevin Hedderwick

I think the publishers are making efforts to shift their business models, and they recognize that the Internet is more and more important. The challenge is to get paid for it.

Jim Goss

A great moral shift has happened because of this trial ... whether he returns or not. I have no problem, if he's on his deathbed, for him to return to Chile.

Ariel Dorfman

I just bought some in February and March. Had I known that they were getting ready to shift to something else I sure as heck wouldn't have bought them.

Roderick White

We believe our evidence is sufficiently robust to argue that we need a diagnostic paradigm shift.

Dr. Matthew Thompson

She stayed until her shift was over at 6. She's fine, but she was quite shook up.

Kelly White

The shift on the part of the Republicans only heightens our fear the Democrats will cut a deal behind the backs of the immigrant communities. That is what we are most fearful of.

Nativo Lopez

I think the celebrities are part of the shift from the supermodel moment, and they are bringing new energy to the industry, ... They are our ambassadors of fashion now, and they use their fame and notoriety and celebrity to bring attention to the industry and to the brands -- whether they are making them, selling them or wearing them.

Fern Mallis

The industry continues to grow at a phenomenal rate and there are many niches that are waiting to be filled, ... Many search engine marketers are seeing the landscape shifting and realizing that they can fulfill a need by starting their own company.

Andy Beal

Investors bought into Hilton's strategy of selling assets, buying back stock and moving to a more fee-based business ... This would be a dramatic shift in strategy.

Robert Lafleur

One of the big and troubling trends of recent years is that we've been shifting away from focusing on grants to loans.

Christopher King

So now is the time to figure out if your estate tax bills can be reduced by shifting some money into your grandchild's college savings plan.

Stuart Ritter

I really felt like they fed off of each other and kept wanting to be better every shift. Each line just started to battle a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more.

Melody Davidson

You have to give Wisconsin credit. I thought they outworked us shift in, shift out.

Jamie Russell

The ground is shifting radically under the pressure of newly documented claims. While there may not be a single clear solution for every claim, institutions will need to be forthright in explaining future acquisitions.

Maxwell L. Anderson

Any suggestion of civil liberties violations is an effort to shift the focus of the discussion away from the facts. There have been no verified civil liberties violations filed against the Patriot Act. Period.

Tasia Scolinos

It's an illusory cost-shift. These people just don't have the money.

Georges Benjamin

People are shifting further and further to the higher end of the weight spectrum.

Louis Aronne

It's a very shocking and profound change of the EU's position. The EU's proposal seems to represent an historic shift in the regulatory approach to the Internet from one that is based on private sector leadership to a government, top-down control of the Internet.

David Gross

There are certain things we have to do, so we have to be ready to pay for it. We can't send a whole shift of police officers home in an effort to cut back on fuel costs.

Brian Barnes

[So is IBM's announcement the beginning of the shift to on-demand computing? Some say absolutely:] We're on the tip of a change on the order of magnitude of [the beginning of] the client server in late '80s, ... Our estimates are that outsourcing and on-demand computing will cut IT costs [buying and operating] in half over the next five years.

Frank Gillett

We are anticipating between $5 to 7 million for the cost and originally estimated it costing about $4.8 million. We also think that with all the constructing activity with (Hurricane) Katrina that we are anticipating higher prices, just not sure how high they might be. We might have to shift money from other projects if the reconstruction costs more than our expected expense.

Charlie Duggan

When John announced his plans to retire, we discussed how we would shift the duties. We plan to incorporate the deputy marshal and other qualified personnel from the fire districts to fill the gap during the transition of the department.

Andrew Camillo

It is such a departure, free agency is a significant shift, so that will be a discussion for another time.

Brendon Gale

The packaged food manufacturers' ability to raise and maintain prices to offset rising commodity costs will be a key test of the shifting of power to the retailer. Moreover, escalating costs have negatively impacted the small and midsize food companies more than their larger counterparts due to the smaller companies' higher proportion of fixed-costs and limited economies of scale.

Ronald Neysmith

Yields are set to climb as we see signs of inflation. Fukui's comments assured us he has not given up the plan to shift monetary policy.

Tsutomu Kawasaki

The government may not be able to stop the BOJ from shifting policy after all the speculation that's been built up in financial markets.

Takehiro Sato

We have 500-year-old lawyer jokes still in circulation and most of them go back at least 100 years. But around the 1980s, there was a great shift. They became much more hostile.

Marc Galanter

The shift is that Lexus, like the vehicles, is behaving differently, more progressively, in working to this younger target.

Christopher Graves

Remember, Pfeiffer came from the sales organization in Compaq before he became the CEO and it was hard for him to make a mind shift to a different kind of distribution model.

Lou Mazzucchelli

It may well shift from Turkey into other European countries. The good news is that in Turkey it has only involved a small number of people.

Dr. David Nabarro

It's very frustrating. We know what we can do, but we need to focus on playing 60 full minutes. Not just a good shift here and a good shift there.

Greg Moore

We did get pushed around at times by Dover, but our kids are relentless. We have to be that way. We shift a lot before the snap on defense. Hull runs like a deer. He is all over the line. He might line up on the nose or as a tackle.

David Hearn

We had guys in the past who wanted to win; now we have guys who expect to win. It's an attitude shift in the way we think about ourselves.

Brian Greene

So the law was sort of like shifting sands. . . . Then there were staff changes and it just kind of got lost in the shuffle.

Nathan Barankin

The purpose of this is to shift power from one set of hands to another.

Paul Hefner

Over the next decade I am absolutely certain we will see a huge shift in attitude.

Dale Marshall

This kind of visit is oversold; you would not have a shift in the public opinion. It's a one day story.

Peter Singer

This is a phenomenon we're really seeing with your generation. It's a huge shift.

Carol Evans

Our joke sitting there was that his drinking less than an ounce would shift to a shot and a beer.

Floyd Ciruli

Vendors are likely to see a fundamental shift in the market as they come to grips with the steep decline in mature-market desk-based growth and are forced to seek growth in other market segments.

George Shiffler

Now it's like the first time driving a stick (shift). You grind and grind until you find it. Once you find it, it's golden.

Ray King

We are excited about getting back out on the track at Fontana. It's one of Mark's better tracks and we've ran really well there the last two times we've been out there. Hopefully we can get a strong finish and lock up our place in the top 10 and then shift our attention to those final 10 races.

Pat Tryson

We're not giving up in here. We've raised our level of intensity and we have to be desperate every shift. And we've been able to do that.

Trent Hunter

What's new is there's a shift from being a movement to a market.

Joel Makower

Our relationship is shifting completely to a market basis.

Oleksiy Ivchenko

The cost shift burden for employers is becoming greater. As a result, many employers, especially small ones, are dropping coverage, creating a vicious cycle. It is a problem that must be addressed.

Bill Kramer

There has been a clear shift in ECB rhetoric and gears are shifting in favor of tighter policy.

Todd Elmer

The diversion of Social Security revenues to private investment accounts would shift much of the risks of old-age back to low-income seniors, and pose very serious challenges to families who depend on social security's survivor and disability insurance benefits.

Jeff Bingaman

There is a huge transformational shift in the way consumers and businesses alike are signing up for non traditional phone services -- and a unique offering like this enables them to be.

Jon Arnold

It really hurt when we lost Jacqui Simon in the first 10 minutes of the second half. You saw a visible momentum shift after that happened.

Shelly Marsden

If the federal government shifts large Medicaid costs to the states, some states are likely to turn around and shift a substantial part of those costs to low-income beneficiaries. And since low-income people have nobody they can shift costs to, they likely will end up paying the price, partly in the form of less health care.

Andy Schneider

We've seen a sea change, a real shift over the past generation from a system where less than half of students left with debt and now two-thirds leave with debt. Now, it's become the norm to leave with debt -- and often with a lot of debt.

Robert Shireman

It wasn't a huge shift for us to say we now wanted to broaden our skill set.

Robert Freedman

Bonds will likely stay weak. The economy is growing and the central bank plans to shift policy around April.

Yasunori Kuroda

For the first time in 3-1/2 decades, the federal government plans to leave low-Earth orbit. That's a major shift.

George Whitesides

We have made a very significant shift in this state on eminent domain. We have gone from a reasonably liberal position, nationally, to being one of several states that now severely restrict its use.

Louis Jambois

There is clearly a policy shift underway. We're talking about a bad trend; not just a cooling but a deterioration in relations.

Masha Lipman

He did it before on the same shift so I was just lucky to read it and I don't think he got everything he wanted to on it and I was able to intercept it.

Patrick Marleau

Some of the momentum we've seen in mid-size, particularly in the B+ category, may now shift to compacts.

Kalpesh Parekh

We see what's going on in the market, ... There does seem to be a shift toward the performance end of it. We obviously have to be competitive, but the No. 1 priority for any of these programs we're setting up is fuel economy and emissions.

Ann Wright

We constantly evaluate our product capability and productivity against customer demand to be able to shift capacity to support our customer base.

Joy Chandler

This shifting of water by roots has a physiological effect on the plants, letting them pull more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they conduct more photosynthesis. Because this has not been considered until now, people have likely underestimated the amount of carbon taken up by the Amazon and underestimated the impact of Amazonian deforestation on climate.

Todd Dawson

Symantec is in effect trying to lock-in customers before Microsoft gets to market, ... There's also recognition in this product shift that some of these features are becoming increasingly commoditized.

Peter Firstbrook

The marine ecosystem is shifting north dramatically.

James Overland

Is it because there is a genuine shift to coffee as a beverage of choice? Or is it the perception of coffee as something to [show off] if you're looking for a status symbol? Depending on which way that it runs, it's a different kind of a market.

George Koo

We came up with certain objectives and in order to drive those critical success factors, we decided we needed to raise the level of administration to take the JCA to be a more efficient and professional unit, ... we have always employed a CEO based on cricket knowledge and not business knowledge. We decided to shift the focus of who ran the business side of the game.

Paul Campbell

This is a big serious truck. It's a standard shift truck. You'd have to have a little experience to drive this.

Paul Marone

The auction went smoothly. Government notes have been sold excessively recently and yields have probably factored in the impact of a policy shift.

Soichiro Kimura

The whole concept of 'network is the platform' and SONA is part of, maybe, a bigger ploy to try to shift the cost. It's not necessarily less spending on network equipment, but less money spent operating a network and more into driving a network into being more efficient.

Joel Conover

[Robert] Hightower with a punt return touchdown and [Donovan] Fletcher with a touchdown on an interception did an excellent job of shifting the momentum our way. Add to that the nice job that [John] Humphrey did with the kicking game and you can see why we are pleased with those portions of our game.

Jeff Whittaker

While the margin remains under pressure, we're pleased that it has held through this quarter. This reflects our efforts to shift the asset mix, emphasizing internally generated assets while shedding lower yielding assets and higher cost funds.

Merrill W. Sherman

In the last 18 months or so, we've seen a significant shift to the adoption of personal networks or home-based networks used in small retail stores or small offices. Those networks are very inexpensive and very easy to use.

Paul Gallagher

Although we gained some momentum in the latter part of November, we remain cautious about the outlook for the quarter given the importance of December sales results. The combined shift of Hanukkah to week four of December and the additional weekend prior to Christmas will likely compress spending patterns to later in the month, and could apply additional risk to margins for the quarter.

Heidi Kunz

In 1998-99, enterprise software companies were actually harmed by shift to Internet computing because they didn't have products to offer in that category. They are now just beginning to enjoy the product cycle in Internet-architected software. In addition, there is a broad shift to e-business throughout the economy and a heightened appreciation of the value of e-commerce.

Bob Austrian

The Reserve Bank may shift to a very mild tightening bias which won't be enough to support the Australian dollar while the Fed is pushing up rates.

John Kyriakopoulos

In my opinion, this is the nose under the tent, and eventually they will move the whole thing to Atlanta. It demonstrates a shift from being a ministry to a corporate bureaucracy.

Millard Fuller

One of the beauties of mobile is it allows you to place-shift.

Paul Reddick

That's why we're seeing a shift to more automatic and automated transmissions. The electronics decide when to shift and they do it properly every time. They don't get tired or distracted like human drivers do after long days on the road.

Charlie Allen

They are pushing people into more remote areas where the chances of being rescued are minimal. All they have accomplished 11 years later is the shifting of undocumented traffic from densely populated areas to the most remote areas.

Claudia Smith

That's a shift from the past, ... This time we only arrested the key people.

Steve Warren

Then people may be happy with depositing with smaller banks, and there's no need to shift deposits to bigger banks.

Naoto Odagiri

We've been in streaks and slides like this before, so we need to take it shift by shift and try to turn it around. It's up to me to play better and everybody up and down the line.

Garth Snow

We will be investing into PLDT. The Philippines is one of the major hubs in Asia with a large population base and PLDT is shifting from fixed line to mobile. As NTT Communications is involved, we will not have to pay a premium and have a very firm stake of 7%.

Masao Nakamura

Politicians' remarks opposing a policy shift have reduced expectations of an early end to the deflation-fighting policy and raised concern over the independence of the central bank. It also harms the government's credibility; It's yen negative.

Toru Umemoto

However, the long-term solution will require a shift in the Chinese education system to increasingly emphasize the practical skills and the English language skills that global companies require.

Jevan Soo

This is a very significant result, and it's not some sort of trend that's going to shift back the other way.

David Barber

Ville is a hard working player who competes every shift. He is difficult to play against and relentless when it comes to pressuring the puck and frustrating the opposition. We're excited to add his grit and determination to our lineup.

Glen Sather

The survey certainly shows that the emphasis (by voters) is on quality, not quantity. That, of course, is a major shift from what we normally focus and report on in the country.

Donna Klein

The pink slip is precipitously delivered. It's not as if the worker caused the job loss, nor is it that they even wanted to shift gears or that they were tired.

Ruth Luban

That's a big shift for the marketplace. The cornerstone is the connection back to the hospitals. It really makes this a lot different than some of the other models out there.

Bob Gilbert

Over the past few years we have seen the bulk of the Valentine's spending shift from young adults to middle-aged consumers.

Phil Rist

Although some government officials and ruling bloc lawmakers remain reluctant toward an early policy shift, there are nearly no objections in the private sector, including the banking industry, the insurance industry and business lobbies.

Masuhisa Kobayashi

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

While technology has made the shift to home-based businesses easier, entrepreneurs who compete with corporate rivals may still need help establishing their credibility, projecting confidence and looking larger than they are.

Hedy Ratner

It's an all-out war every shift. With a team like San Jose, we can enjoy it (Friday night), but we start all over (Saturday).

Adam Hall

I will seek to reverse the shift of benefits from Medicaid to Medicare and hold harmless our seniors and disabled.

Jeff Bingaman

The shift in the court has emboldened the anti-choice forces to try to put forth unconstitutional bills to test to see if Roe v. Wade can be overturned.

Nancy Northup

There is a huge potential for people to make the shift from health care to self care.

Walter Robb

He seemed young and decisive, able to make the shift from guerrilla leader to political leader, rather like Michael Collins of the Irish Republican Army did in the early 1920s.

Denis Macshane

There are shifting expectations on whether the Fed will pause or not after its meeting next week. Signals from the Fed that it may pause in June may see a bid for Treasuries.

Craig Chan

To be an Asian, to be a minority, not to see ourselves as always me the minority, the victim, you the dominant culture. It's a shift of paradigm. Once you see things differently, you gain power. All of a sudden there is enlightenment.

Joan Chen

We view the change in vehicle prices in the PPI as a random shift and one that does not reflect reality.

Michael Moran

Another pendulum shift is inevitable, and new desires are surfacing.

Belinda Stone

We can spare one on (the day shift), ... But when we're called, we'll go.

Michael Johnson

If you get a major shift, you're back to square one.

Peter Johnson

This is what has conservation biologists worried. It's the combined effects of climate change pushing things to want to shift around the globe, and human habitat destruction ... preventing that movement.

Camille Parmesan

They were interrupting the shifts if they were in a working shift.

Bill Raney

In the 1980s, Americans preferred milk chocolate and sweeter centers. Today, we have seen a shift in consumer preferences, towards darker chocolate and more exotic flavors.

David Bolton

He brings energy on every shift. That's the one thing you know you're always going to get from Colby -- energy. He never seems to take a shift off.

Maxime Talbot

For years healthcare has been moving away from the inpatient care trends that our current facility was designed around. Outpatient services at SCMC (e.g. physical therapy, outpatient surgery, CT scans) have increased 33 percent over the past five years. The new facility's floor plan is arranged to accommodate this continuing shift in services.

Todd Willert

This is the moment they [insurgents] have fought to avoid these past two years -- power shifting to the Shiite majority.

John Burns

It is time for blacks to begin the shift from a wartime to a peacetime identity, from fighting for opportunity to the seizing of it.

Shelby Steele

It has really helped them make a shift, ... They recognize they have the ability to live creatively and not get trapped in past perspectives.

David Parrish

The market has left behind the vote and a general election and is quickly shifting its focus to the strength of the economy.

Koji Muneoka

Instead of undermining protections that America's coasts have long enjoyed, the Sierra Club is urging Congress and the administration to move more in the direction of Senators Nelson and Martinez. It's time to shift the national debate on offshore drilling closer to securing permanent protection for America's fragile coasts.

Melinda Pierce

Watching the other bowl games, they've got guys shifting all over the place. Everybody's throwing in new stuff for the bowl game. Hopefully, they'll run what we've been practicing.

Jon Simmons

I think everybody knows what's going on and everybody knows the situation. You just have to go a game at a time, a shift at a time and just concentrate on our play.

Teppo Numminen

There's an astonishing statistic we call the 'gasp number' because the jaws dropping are palpable when we reveal that in a typical eight-hour shift, a nurse lifts cumulative weight of 1.8 tons.

Pat O'malley

I think we can be right in there if we compete to our absolute best. It will be good to see where we can score, and if we need to shift things around.

Scott Hartman

It's extremely bad and this is bearish for the U.S. dollar, ... This will definitely shift expectations more for a 4 percent Fed funds rate as the last hike we'll see as opposed to 4.25 percent.

Kathy Lien

It's like a car shifting gears. We're looking at a massive change in the market. Now, as far as my eye can see, you're going to see small cap stocks as the way to go.

Lou Ehrenkrantz

It's going to be a huge culture shift.

Brian Munce

A month from now, when many of our shows will have premiered, there's going to be a bit of a shift perceived by the viewer. What you need to see is sprouts coming out of the ground.

Garth Ancier

[Wal-Mart may shift more of its ad spending to the Internet, direct-mail and local television after relying on national television, Chief Marketing Officer John Fleming told analysts in Boston last month.] For the next six months, you'll see a lot of changes in what our advertising looks like, ... There's an opportunity to drive clearer, more focused messages.

John Fleming

That's been a very big obstacle for us to try to overcome because one day the wind's out of the south/southwest, and you wake up the next morning and it's out of the northwest or the north, so we've always got this shifting wind we have to deal with.

Mary Leathers

We said we would shift our revenue mix and create additional revenue streams in fees, listings and transactions.

Terry Semel

[However, naysayers are warning that the major shift envisaged by the Joint Declaration,] If implemented, would result in new rules of global nuclear commerce that the Bush administration has previously opposed, ... Is the US-India Nuclear Cooperation Good or Bad for Proliferation?

Michael Krepon

The emphasis is shifting from maintaining existing weapons to replacing all of them.

Greg Mello

There's been a real shift in temperament.

Jack Mintz

IT budgets, often strained by the need for real estate, power and cooling, will shift toward building new applications and IT services that are specifically developed to drive new business.

Michelle Bailey

A strategic shift to value-added products and the past sweeping restructuring efforts have helped improve the profit-generating capacity at Japanese firms, allowing them to easily absorb such negative factors as rises in crude oil prices and increases in personnel cost.

Osamu Katano

It would have been nice to have those leads a little bit longer. But every time we scored, in the second or third shift, they'd score again. It would have been nice to get a two-goal advantage.

Tomi Pettinen

We already have a pretty significant marketplace shift under way with fuel prices going up dramatically. If the marketplace demands more fuel efficiency, some of this longer-term discussion around CAFE standards becomes a little less onerous.

Christopher Preuss

It certainly shows that he's his own man. But the real revolution here is a power shift within the LDP.

Ron Bevacqua

Demographics, the strong growth in financial wealth and the increasing shift of financial responsibility to the individual all are expected to drive long-term demand for our services and products, as reflected in our large amount of newly gathered assets during the quarter.

D. Miller

I feel that was the definite shift from being a child to being a man. That's where I grew up and realized this was not a game.

Aaron Lindemann

If we go out there on our first shift and we bang some bodies or even if we get hit, that gets us into the game right away. If we get the puck in the zone and work down low the first shift of the game, that gives us confidence for the rest of the game and it's something that we can build off.

Andy Brandt

We believe digital health imaging margins will remain under pressure as doctors shift from printing X-rays to viewing on screen.

Shannon Cross

What we do at its very, very best, at its very, very most, will shift us slightly in our seat. If only for two hours, great. If for the rest of our lives, even better.

Campbell Scott

We should have buried them when we were up nine with the ball; we needed to take advantage there. But we missed some shots, some of which were ill-advised, and it was a big momentum shift.

Nate Drye

He was near the end of his shift, too.

Dave Harackiewicz

I think he can be a superstar. Everybody is watching him, but he handles it so well. It's tough when everyone is watching you on every shift ... but he's very mature for his age.

John Leclair

Sales of gas-inefficient large SUVs are in a state of near-collapse this month, ... It seems likely that the shift in the sales mix away from large SUVs will persist and continue to damage Detroit's profit margins in the process.

David Healy

The mine workers look at the pre-shift examination as one of the most important activities that the mine operator has got to perform. We look at that as an absolutely crucial first step of any mining operation.

Tim Baker

That was the beginning of a series of cases in Texas that really started shifting the state into a position of not being so much of a plaintiff's haven for class actions.

Jerry Clements

What a surprise to find you could shift the contents of your head like rearranging furniture in a room.

Lisa Alther

We have to shift our thinking a little, too. We have to make people in town now more aware of what we are and where we are and make it more of a community event.

Al Cohen

African bees don't like to be picked up and moved. It's going to take a major shift in our management practices.

David Tarpy

He (May) is playing a regular shift now ... other than I may keep him on the bench for a rest during a penalty kill.

Mike Routhier

I told the girls at the half that we need to have someone step up. We needed to maintain possession and that's what we did. We came up sluggish in the first half and we needed a momentum shift. Sarah's goal was huge because it got us going. From there we came back hard in the second half and were able to get a win.

Kaitlin Carney

Teens and young men have finally 'discovered' the suit. We are seeing a shift in the younger generation reaching their image through grooming and dressing up.

Marshal Cohen
