Lisa Stevens

There is a definite shift towards the best of breed. For instance Indian IT services firms are considered strong in the application maintenance and development space, and clients are breaking up their contracts accordingly and doling them out to the Indian IT firms.

Siddharth Pai

It's an aggressive project. We're doing it as safely and unobtrusively as we can, ... Comcast has been all about shifting blame.

Harry Mitchell

In the last three election cycles, this [national] component has been somewhat less important. What we're doing this time represents a significant shift back to having an aggressive ground game.

They played a whole shift with six men on the ice.

Robbie Nichols

The current trend is to lock in profits from technology issues and shift money to defensives.

Hidenori Kawasaki

Yasunori Kuroda

There was an unexpected late-quarter delay of receipt of an order of more than $25 million from an existing customer. Additionally, we believe the anticipated change to calendar-quarter reporting resulted in some shifting of orders out of the fiscal third quarter.

Patrick Nettles

You may just be shifting the consumption of energy from the driver to the producer of hydrogen.

Anthony Pratt

We need to have a paradigm shift. What we've been doing hasn't been working.

Steve Shields

We're trying to shift our resources.

Denise Bottcher

You've got an industry that has set itself up successfully. Then, all of a sudden, the technology has come along and scrambled the pipeline. They feel very uncomfortable in this shifting environment.

Skip Lockwood

More and more production is starting to shift into some very large operations.

James Macdonald

This is their building, they like to get it rocking early. That's a big momentum shift when you can quiet them down in the first period like that. That was big for us, definitely.

John Laliberte

We're keeping them on the snow shift in case we get any weather tonight. It's really cold, and we don't want to see any ice in the overnight hours.

Stacey Stegman

There are shift workers such as nurses and factory employees who often commute at odd hours of the night, and we believe they should be able to choose if they would like to keep a firearm in their car to protect themselves during their travels.

Autumn Fogg

Our shifting gave us a little left in the tank at the end and that made the kids feel confident enough to win it which is gratifying.

Gary Lindgren

This is a difficult decision, as it impacts both our employees and GO.com users. However, the Internet environment has continued to shift and change, and therefore our strategies must also change.

Steve Bornstein

Ultimately, we need to shift from a reactive to a proactive and event-based data protection, something that CDP helps to start to facilitate.

Greg Schulz

There's been a culture shift in terms of acceptance of breathing in other people's smoke.

Sen. Rosalyn Baker

We don't have the vehicle in the marketplace. We don't know what the market reaction is. So first, the vehicle gets out there, and we will see what the market reaction is. If it's really hot, then the biggest problem we have is figuring out how to put on a third shift, and that's a great problem to have.

Frank Ewasyshyn

One way to show such sacrifice and resolve would be to agree to shift [to Katrina relief] at least half of the $25 billion that the recently enacted highway bill dedicates to frivolous pork-barrel spending.

Ronald Utt

They are the future. In five to 10 years, they'll be in public office. I see a shift.

Chuck Kosco

The median home price in Boston fell 4.5% over the last three months. In Washington D.C. prices were flat over the last 30 days, but down 5.4% over the last 90 days. Realtors outside Manhattan in New York City report a shift to a buyer's market.

Alexis Mcgee

As issues of climate change, energy security and fuel prices start to crop up more on consumer radar screens, we need to be able to meet that shifting demand. What you're seeing is just the beginnings of a growth in demand, but it's a very clear trend.

Niel Golightly

He does change the outcome of any shift. Knowing he's out there really makes teams change their game.

Steve Rucchin

My grandfather would work in his shop in the morning and then work the 3 to 11 p.m. shift at Westinghouse. He continued to work at Westinghouse after the war and retired when the plant closed.

Dino Depaulo

We expect continued benefit from extended hours as more restaurants shift to 24-hour service.

John Ivankoe

A huge momentum shift. Raphael's been huge. When we're not playing as well as we want to, he's a guy who goes out and works (hard) and you get the momentum shifted back our way.

Mike Serba

We found perhaps many of our existing policyholders would shift their work focus away from what they had been doing to trades and operations that were more in demand.

David Bondy

The U.S. government's support for Linux is indicative of the shift away from government-developed code and the lower costs associated with commercial off-the-shelf solutions. The U.S. government benefits from the community efforts to enhance the security of Linux with up-to-date technical innovation.

Stacey Quandt

This recent shift towards gift cards that retailers don't count until they're redeemed in January...and the (formerly governing) Liberals' tax cuts should support first-quarter consumer spending.

Ted Carmichael

It's kind of hard to justify those levels if you think the Fed goes one or two more times. The whole curve needs to shift up 50 basis points or so if you think there's two more moves in the pipeline.

William Chepolis

You've got loggers and fishermen in Seattle who didn't know what sushi was a decade ago, eating it at the ballpark and wearing headbands with kanji [Japanese characters] on them, ... That's quite a transformation. Ichiro is the one who is responsible for that shift.

Robert Whiting

Depending on how they turn out, you could see a dramatic shift in the experience, temperament and philosophy on the Supreme Court. The candidates in these races offer some very clear choices.

Chris Heagarty

The yen may be well supported until Fukui's press conference. Expectations of his hawkish comments on a policy shift are not likely to fade away.

Keizo Tanaka

Yields reached an attractive level, so some buying may come through, especially after the auction went well. Yields already reflect speculation about an economic recovery and a policy shift to some extent.

Akihiko Yokoyama

You should always know when you're shifting gears in life. You should leave your era; it should never leave you.

Leontyne Price

Retailers have come through with very solid reports. We felt that the drop in gas prices would help. More importantly, we saw the weather shift, which really helped in the last week of the month.

Donald Gher

The premier is just shifting chairs. At the Health Department we are only going to go backwards as a province.

Zingisa Mkabile

There were plenty of clues as early as June and July to suggest that JI was going to shift to smaller suicide bombers, rather than truck bombs.

Zachary Abuza

The market is in a transition stage, from a broad-based advance to a more selective environment. Investors are shifting their focus from earnings to geopolitical factors.

Eugene Peroni

When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.

Eve Ensler

We've seen about a five basis point shift, which is not a lot for tobacco bonds -- they can be very volatile. But yes, it has caused people to take a little step back.

Evan Rourke

The CPI proved not so helpful for the yen's rises. The market is now shifting its focus to the policy meeting.

Etsuko Yamashita

Speculation about an early shift in policy will fitfully encourage yen-buying in the short term. That will become increasingly so as we head toward April.

Etsuko Yamashita

What we started out as isn't what it's going to become. There's a lot of room for growth. We expected to evolve. There's a lot of room for us to shift, whether it's altering the sound or adding vocals. I can see Particle becoming something much different than it is now.

Eric Gould

Scotty's a heck of a player. He works hard. He is the stereotypical Sewickley hockey player. He does what I ask. His legs never stop. He never takes a shift off. Every shift is going to be as hard as the last one. That's what I need from every one of these guys.

Erik Hoolahan

Retailers are going to be positive in November, but that's really because of the calendar shift.

Eric M. Beder

There is a legitimate fear on the part of some African-Americans that it is happening. I don't know of a place where this kind of demographic shift has ever occurred. It is a huge, huge shift.

Elliott Stonecipher

A significant shift in either of those areas, however, could dramatically impact on fuel prices.

Elliott Eki

We are going to see a shift, ... where?more enterprises, such as automobile companies and the like are going to see that the Internet is the way for them to be doing business.

Ellen Hancock

We are seeing a workplace in transition, shifting from models that served the needs of the 20th century to those that serve the needs of the 21st century--and most of these changes that make work 'work' for employers and employees appear to be here to stay.

Ellen Galinsky

Unified messaging is really an old architecture. It has been around since the mid-'90s. There is a shift happening, because Microsoft is getting into the business. Still, you can't really say that things will change overnight.

Elizabeth Herrell

The former attitude in corporate America - that once an employer and an employee had parted ways, their history was concluded forever - is shifting.

Eileen Javers

The big shopping days are shifting later and later in the purchase cycle. Consumers are waiting for the bargain, waiting for the big discounts to come out. Retailers have pretty well taught them to wait by offering the deals later.

Edward Fox

The Chinese market in terms of valuation isn't cheap. It would be best to shift out of H shares into Hong Kong blue-chip stocks.

Eddie Wong

We felt like we should recognize them. I especially want to thank Station No. 9 and the Shift B paramedics who were there that night and helped me.

Ed Duda

It's a little bit frustrating. That's a pretty good trade for them when you think about it. That was only (Cairns') second shift of the game and they get me off the ice for 15 minutes.

Zdeno Chara

Plant managers for second shift workers said the workers were floating on cloud nine after seeing Lance. It just really brought everything full circle for them, especially when he said such great things about the quality of the bikes.
