Our team's engineers, mechanics and assemblers deserve high praise for the precise way in which this airplane came together with very few issues.

There can be a deal but it involves action on the Indian side and right now all the signals are that the Indians think the only action that needs to happen is concessions from the U.S..

Dave Chandler

We demonstrated that in humans, chemical signals from fear facilitated overall accuracy in identifying word relatedness independent of the perceived qualities of the smells. The effect may arise from a learned association, including greater cautiousness and changes in cognitive strategies.

Rich Mckay

We have deployed 600 access points (transmitters that send radio signals to wireless-enabled computers and hand-held devices). We will add about 50 more in the next couple of weeks.

Traffic signals are heavy-duty consumers. You're talking about big lamps.

David Schulz

They work both on and off lead, with a lot of repetitive commands, ... You have to teach them what to look for, and how to distinguish the scent they must follow from the other scents they will come across. You have to do it every day.

Peter Gould

This decision signals the de facto start of the 2008 presidential election campaign.

Dmitry Rogozin

Beth Scheid

The signals for a recovery are multiplying. It's extended from manufacturing to services, which is more linked to internal demand, so the signs are now across the board.

Luigi Speranza

Ulric Weil

We do not turn signals off and on.

Fred Droes

It was not so much a communications breakdown as it was a communication device breakdown. So if we'd have had carrier pigeons, we'd have been using them. We'd have used smoke signals, but we didn't have water.

Vincent Creel

Essentially, we activate an area, ... We can do this anywhere in the brain. Once an area is activated, it responds by sending signals, waves that travel through the axons (nerve fibers) to other regions of the brain. At the same time, we can record how the rest of the brain is responding.

Giulio Tononi

Sending laser signals across the cosmos would be a very logical way for ET to reach out, but until now, we have been ill-equipped to receive any such signal.

We had definitely gotten positive signals from the administration.

Karen Bass

There's nothing out there that signals an end to this rally. Supply disruptions and demand growth give funds confidence to keep buying metals.

Jim Lennon

He's made a lot of progress from where we were with him in the spring. He's running the offense. He has control. He knows what's going on. Things aren't going 100 miles an hour for him. He's not forgetting calls, forgetting signals. That's all part of the process.

Larry Fedora

You are looking at numbers and signals, but in the end what is most important here is the experience of the eyes of an expert.

Eduardo Cotrim

The arbitrators have until April 15 to rule, so to us March 1 is a date that signals the start of the next step of the process, but it's not a deadline per se. We're committed to making progress.

Ed Bastian

What makes them probably a little bit more dangerous is that they release an alarm pheromone after they sting, which signals other bees to come and attack. Where European bees might come in and sting one time, Africanized bees could probably sting 10 times.

Ed Skvarch
