Daniel Barry

Employers in the Green Bay area expect slightly softer hiring conditions than in the third quarter when 20 percent of the companies interviewed intended to add staff and 10 percent expected to reduce headcount. Normally, the fourth quarter (October to December) drops because budgets are spent.

Tom Hyland

Randall Osterhuber

Nigel Cobby

BT's 2Q 05/06 results would appear at first glance to be bang in line with our below-consensus expectations. But slightly more-than-expected margin weakness and lower cash flow is unlikely to be taken well. Our sell rating is maintained.

Chris Alliott

That's really the defensive effort we've been looking for all season. Hopefully, it's a sign of us coming together. It's our first road win and we're at the point in the season where we badly needed it. The kids realized that and showed up with a slightly different mentality then we've had the last couple of games and it showed on the court.

John Kuckel

This is slightly positive for investors' perceptions, especially foreigners, in the sense that it has provided certainty over the case. However, I think the criminal process should really go on to uncover what really happened.

Anton Gunawan

We were certainly forecasting a difficult period for Telstra but this is slightly worse than what we were expecting.

Scott Marshall

The prospect of slightly higher inflation might be making stock investors a bit nervous. I think stocks are also likely reacting to the higher oil prices today.

Richard Hough

From an operating point of view, the result was slightly better than what we expected.

Jay Kim

Tim Carr

The more we get, the more accurate will be our predictions. We have got 500,000 climate variations stacked up and ready to go. Each person who joins in will get a slightly different model for their computer to crunch, so the more people we get the more confident we can be of our results.

Myles Allen

The dollars are the dollars, we're charging just slightly more than we were charging last time (about $134). The fact that shocks the hell out of me is we went from 10 stadium shows up to 18 stadium shows. We went from doing 25,000-30,000 (people) a night in the stadiums to doing 40,000-50,000. That is incredible.

Michael Cohl

It is partly seasonal but we are seeing a pull back slightly earlier than we normally would.

David Caruthers

The slightly less negative recent news from the housing and retail sectors contrasts with increasing pressures on manufacturers from the high cost of fuel and materials.

Ian Mccafferty

Diedrich Diederichsen

With cable stock prices under pressure, business slightly less robust than previously thought, and market concerns about debt loads, now might not be the ideal time for additional mergers.

Guy Tauer

The art of politics consists in knowing precisely when it is necessary to hit an opponent slightly below the belt.

As expected, consumer tax revenue is only slightly above last year's level, ... This is because we continue to see an increasing portion of our tax growth coming in our third quarter. More customers are using our Web-based tax solutions, which historically have revenue peaks later in the season.

Seiji Adachi

Valuations have run up since the bellwether stocks have had nice rallies. The large caps look slightly overbought.

Jay Wong

I find that more and more. It is not just the people you would expect to be slightly neanderthal in their attitudes - creationists, flat-earthers, as it were - but actually people who think of themselves as radicals, progressives. That is part of the problem I've found with postmodernism.

Francis Wheen

What Wall Street thinks is that Bush would be slightly better than Gore, but not much, and either way the numbers are going up.

Joseph Campell

Whereas one year you might build slightly ahead of the market, the next year when construction is down, your population continues to grow.

Christina Lieberman

Both robust global demand and a weaker sterling in the months ahead should allow the external sector to provide growth with a slightly positive contribution this year.

Asmara Jamaleh

It was slightly disappointing because the injury affected us. We also tried working on some different aspects of our game in the doubles matches, and I think that also affected our performance.

Kristen Palombo

All we did was change the process slightly. We continued to use the same consortium, but asked them to introduce a second step. We asked them to take local bids.

It's hard to look at this report and be even more convinced that if housing slows down, there's nothing to replace it in terms of labor income. It leans slightly more to the bearish than the bullish side for the market.

Chris Liddell

Slightly embarrassing. I'd probably eaten too much dinner.

Amanda Holden

Generally, the news of the past two weeks in Europe has been slightly disappointing. We had a lot of issuance to digest this week though, and that kept prices contained.

Vincent Chaigneau

Her attitude toward (Ngai) was of a very caring and patient surrogate mother dealing with a slightly retarded child.

Gregory Allen

Ted Koppel is a unique voice in American journalism. There's no point in trying to replace him as an individual. It's incumbent upon us to find a slightly different approach.

James Goldston

The market (has) a slightly lower bias. Production curtailments in the Gulf remain supportive, while demand factors must now be considered.

Intel revenue and earnings per share were in line with our expectations, but consensus for 2001 will be slightly down revenue, which has not occurred since 1986.

Daniel Niles

This story is slightly immoral, but so, I guess, are stories based on truth.

Ring Lardner

Matthew Wickens

Although firms did expect a slightly slower pace of growth, they still judge overall economic conditions quite favorable.

Richard Curtin

The Hi-Lo as a balanced count is one of the easiest out there. With a more complex count, maybe you can get a slightly higher percentage, but if you make one mistake with that more complicated system, you lose that small advantage.

It gives them a chance to experiment with a slightly different way of living.

John Ivanko

They held Mac shipments and even increased it slightly year over year in the midst of an architectural change without having to cut prices.

I've always dressed the same-now I can afford to dress slightly better, but I generally just wear brown corduroy.

Mark Webber

Fidelity has been slightly more conservative over the past couple of months.

Donald Dion

Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.

James F. Cooper

Rising oil prices are not only affecting current inflation rates but they're also overshadowing next year, ... It can't be ruled out that risks for price developments will deteriorate that much over the medium term that we might have to expect the annual inflation rate to slightly exceed 2 percent.

Otmar Issing

It's been a very undecided market. When the opened, it entered a slightly softer period, which was nothing more than a result of profit taking after Friday's enthusiastic buying. After that it turned positive as it got closer to the UK opening.

Lavan Gopaul

We don't think business confidence is going to improve much more over coming months but we don't expect it to fall off a cliff either. For now, there's still support from the rest of the world and a slightly lower euro but the question is how long it will last.

Sandra Petcov

As long as we don't have another storm coming into the Gulf, I expect oil prices to fall slightly. I also expect increased worry that high oil prices will have some impact on economic growth.

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it.

William Styron

Richard Thompson

What is shocking these days? ... We are surrounded by appalling, shocking things; we are slightly inured to it. In the realm of things that can happen in a marriage, there are potentials which are horrible but you deal with it. But this is so far out there.

Jennifer Ward

I cheated slightly, ... I wrote what I wanted them to say and then basically browbeat them into saying it.

Gary Johnstone

Robert Growney

Stock markets can still rise. Earnings are still growing. Investors shouldn't be worried about slightly slowing earnings growth.

We are slightly disappointed by the composition of the result ... Swiss Re's combined ratio was 108.7 percent. Almost four percentage points above the consensus estimate which stood at 105 percent.

Bank Leu

Overall the report indicates that the non-manufacturing sector is moving right along. We seem to have recovered from the hurricanes, even though the index is down slightly.

Ralph Kauffman

So, it may be that SARS is causing a slightly different or a slightly less severe form of illness at this point.

Iain Simpson

Oil demand in the U.S., China and India is expected to rise further. Supplies, especially of sweet crude oil, will increase only slightly compared with the growth in demand.

Hisao Sato

It looks like these illegal workers were hired by contractors and not directly by Wal-Mart. Is this really bad press or slightly bad press? I think it's the latter. If Wal-Mart was hiring from sweatshops, that would be much worse.

Mark Mandel

We do not see enough in the strategy outlook to offset the slightly disappointing results.

Gordon Gray

It means higher property taxes, period. . . . Whether funding is flat or slightly reduced, it's the community that has to make up for the difference.

Frank Belluscio

The national debate over immigration is slightly less heated in Washington state.

Stuart Elway

The statement was slightly more hawkish than we were expecting but there was one vote of dissent.

Kamal Sharma

It's slightly better than expected. Returns on the existing business are good ... But value added by new business doesn't look so good. There was rather much of a drop.

Rene Locher

The deal would surprise no one, and the proposed price, at $77 per share, would be neutral to slightly accretive to earnings, by our calculations.

Carl Mcdonald

If anything it was a slightly more hawkish spin (than we were expecting).

Rainer Guntermann

It is slightly above the expectations. But the revenue guidance does not look exciting.

Pratish Krishnan

The nose on the helicopter hit the ground at an angle slightly less than vertical.

Michael Slattery

Even for a person who has been using an ATV for a long time, if you change that ATV slightly and if they don't realize what that change does, it could change how it needs to be handled.

Chuck Schwab

Yes has been sleeping in this kind of awful mode that I think is slightly disrespectful to our beautiful fans. It's all ... political is not the right word, but it's all contrary to different people's opinions of what's right and what's wrong. I think that's really a shame.

Steve Howe

We're having a lot of fun. It's been a blast so far. We have a real competition to see who can get the most pins and the best winning record on the team. He now has one more pin than me and a slightly better winning percentage. But I think that will change.

Nick Kalscheur

From the information available to us it seems like were off to a slow start in January. Even the Japanese brands look slightly (down).

Joe Eberhardt

Our preliminary conclusion is that, although Microsoft is not out of the woods, it will be slightly more free to compete on its own terms than we expected it would.

Henry Blodget

Again, it is not a good idea to lengthen stride, but use a lighter touch and quicker turnover. You can go faster that way. You might increase your forward lean slightly — that will increase your speed.

Jeff Galloway

If they win only slightly more than 241 seats, the market will react negatively.

Masaru Ueda

We have not authorized additional imports. We need to review whether we still need it. The crop is coming out slightly higher than our earlier projection.

James Ledesma

Behind this revenue range is an expectation that our unit sell-through will be slightly higher than it was last year, on its way back to the double-digit growth.

Judy Bruner

What's important to new accountants has changed slightly. The No. 1 thing that contributed to, or was important to them, was the ability to advance in an organization. This is the first time that work/life balance was equal to being able to move up.

Leslie Murphy

We have thus slightly exceeded our target.

Nikolaus Von Bomhard

The number of cancer patients is expected to double by 2012. Central Ohio is slightly above average in cancer-incidence rates.

Glenn Balasky

It was slightly dollar-positive. The price component, it's still bubbling. That is of concern to the Fed.

David Mozina

I'm very much against the notion of the Great Man, the Great Figure who is telling us all how to behave. Writers are just like other people, except slightly more obsessed.

John Banville

With Windows 2000 revenues not really kicking in until 2001 and the continued weakness of the business PC sales impacting Microsoft's core business, we expect the fourth quarter to be lackluster, coming in slightly above the third quarter.

Melissa Eisenstat

The federal government is basically saying that the price of gas could go up slightly through Labor Day weekend. It could be another couple of cents between now and next weekend. Maybe as much as four or five cents.

Gregg Laskoski

To talk about [sales tax rates] independent of what we're currently facing is slightly unprofessional.

Laurence Kotlikoff

Everybody has lots of books that are slightly used and garden magazines. You used it once and don't need it anymore, but somebody else could use it.

Carrie Edgar

According to the current indications that sales growth in the first quarter will be slightly below our previous year on year rate of 20 to 25 percent, we expect pre-tax profit to fall significantly.

Henning Kagermann

Obviously we're looking a relief rally here. The hurricane damage was less expected, and that has sent oil slightly lower. But in the next few days we'll see an increase in pre-earnings warnings that will in the short-term will contain the rally.

Peter Cardillo

The tax bill is slightly larger than one would expect it to be because we have had employee benefit trusts and there was a decision in the House of Lords we've provided for. We're just being cautious.

Keith Edelman

We are certainly keeping our profit target intact and have in fact raised it slightly.

Martin Leach

The guidance is slightly more conservative than our estimate.

Bill Pecoriello

I think it's pretty much a continuation of what we've seen but probably a slightly different style.

Warwick Mckibbin

All of us are mad. If it weren't for the fact every one of us is slightly abnormal, there wouldn't be any point in giving each person a separate name.

Ugo Betti

He's always had a short fuse and I was going to try and cure him. He's slightly damaged goods, but I think he could be brilliant if I sort him out.

Ian Holloway

There is something about the Australian psyche that seems to like films that are slightly offbeat.

Nick Park

I'm always for a weakened Conservative party, slightly or massively.

John Godfrey

He was such a vivid character. And it was a character he made up - this slightly ghoulish, heavy-set man who made up jokes on his TV series.

Richard Schickel

I haven't found that many differences playing in America as opposed to playing in Europe. In my eyes, there are slightly bigger crowds in America. The depth of players is slightly stronger in America, and that really is about it.

Ian Poulter

This is more important than the world championship and only slightly less (important) than the Olympic Games.

Bastien Ripoll

It is understandable that, after several years of strong gains and record-breaking sales, demand may cool slightly for electronics merchandise this year.

Tracy Mullin

Overall, my putative numbers will come down just slightly.

Brendan Wilders

Slightly higher inflation says to the Fed they have to remain with a tightening bias. The market is going to remain focused on payrolls at the end of the week. That's likely what is driving dollar strength.

David Durrant

The boys are probably slightly better, but the girls could go to state, too. There's only three or four teams ahead of us in the sectional.

Kevin Lisk

Bear in mind that you'll have to pay slightly higher mortgage insurance premiums for FHA (loans). But, the good news is that FHA recently lowered these premiums.

N'ann Harp

Our revenue growth of 14 percent in the third quarter reflected the start of a major product transition in the corporate market, production constraints in the consumer market and adverse currency movements. Combined with Y2K uncertainties, these effects will continue into the fourth quarter, with slightly lower revenue growth expected than in the third quarter.

Paul Curlander

The change in the index will be slightly supportive for bonds.

Shinji Kunibe

We see inflation hovering at around these levels throughout the first half of this year. If oil prices remain well-behaved, we should see slightly below-target inflation in the second half.

That is where people start doing things that are slightly different to just doing spots and billboards.

Brian Gallagher

EDGE pushes slightly further into rural locations that are not covered by 3G and may not be for some time.

Stuart Jackson

The hurricane impact in the fourth quarter is going to be quite evident and people will look beyond that. Growth is still going to be solid in the first half and the market is slightly under-pricing the risk in Fed tightening.

Craig Chan

We didn't expect quite that many. We are slightly behind schedule because of sinkholes.

Barry Pincin

A slightly different picture is emerging around the timing of these bomb incidents.

Brian Paddick

The move (to sell) is not illogical given the lack of control, but it is slightly at odds with the company's more recent moves to add to its National Telco assets.

Christian Maher

If that's all it does, is get you slightly interested, it's a step in the right direction. I think the band has always walked that line between earnest and incredibly pretentious. I've definitely been guilty of both. On this record we tried to fall on the earnest side.

Raine Maida

Then on the other hand, we also have this breakaway faction of young officers, all slightly separate from each other.

Guy Hedgecoe

The expected NAND price decline for the first quarter as a whole will be slightly greater than the 15% decline we had expected initially.

Stefan Bauknecht

I think markets will stay roughly where they are with the outlook slightly positive.

James Cornish

There was a committed audience for Headland over summer but it was slightly under, only slightly, where we needed it to be to continue in the [official] survey [period].

Tim Worner

No lane is like any other lane in the world. There's always going to be something slightly different. Anytime they install lanes, if they're not dead on perfect, they're going to be a little different.

Ritchie Allen

If that holds true, that means that temperatures should average out slightly warmer than normal. Of course, the down side of that is that if that holds true, there will be more of a chance of mixed precipitation such as sleet and freeze rain during January and early February.

Patrick Mccoy

Management may temper that outlook slightly given the ongoing difficulty in the PC environment.

Christopher Shilakes

Given the combination of recent share price weakness, especially in relative context, and slightly increased revenue assumptions, we see improvement in the risk-reward equation for LCC.

Gary Chase

After removing the special bankruptcy charges from United, the last three quarters' results actually show that United has generated net income levels slightly better than American but not quite as good as Continental.

Bob Mcadoo
