The reason [retail] is going to become an extremely successful sector is that retailers, more than industrial or offices, make an extremely high investment in their location. Who is more interested in [where they are located] than a person spending tens of thousands of dollars to advertise their presence at that location.

Jim Hopkins

We would have a sitter. And the two of us would take off. We used to spend a lot of time at a restaurant in town. Sometimes we would go to a movie, sometimes we'd just drive.

Bob Fox

I would love to jump back in time and spend a day.

Jan Franco

The single night concert ticket option has proven to be very popular. This is a great option for music lovers who cannot spend all four days at CMA Music Festival but want to experience a night of fantastic musical performances.

Tammy Genovese

I don't like cold weather and I am planning to spend January in Ohio. Figure that. But they are both good shows and we expect to draw a large number of people to both.

Rob Lynch

It's on the day of the draft. It's an important day for me and I want to spend it with my close family.

Kasey Kiker

There are some good signs of growth in Germany. Retail sales data suggest consumer spending is picking up and order books are overflowing. Firms should continue to perform relatively well.

Sandra Petcov

Enterprise [products and applications] come to a forefront [for vendors] in slowing economic time, when consumer spending slows down.

Brian Jaquet

One of the most powerful and courageous voices any of us can listen to is our own, but it is often the one that we spend the least time cultivating and tuning into as we yield to the demands of perceived 'boundaries' in our professional and personal lives.

Janet Hanson

We believe that consumer spending is going to bear the brunt of higher energy prices that we have seen leading up to and immediately following Hurricane Katrina as discretionary spending is curtailed.

Joshua Shapiro

We get daily reports, and you'll see these people who spend a couple of hours gambling, and the total amount they bet is like $1.81.

Thomas Holmes

They're actually going to be able to spend more time with their legislator now. (Legislators are) not going to be holed up in the Gov.'s Club or the Silver Slipper with a cadre of lobbyists.

Brandon Republican

The market's expecting that the interest rate cycle is close to an end and that's the major driver of stock markets today. With the rate cycle coming to an end, people in the U.S. will have more money to spend.

Agnes Deng

This year was harder because everyone was getting ready for us, spending much more time for our games because we won state last year.

Greta Luksyte

The most serious risk to medium-term inflation is the continuing strength of household spending, supported by a relentless housing market and rapid growth in mortgage lending.

Alan Bollard

Owning our own business has given us the flexibility to spend time with our own kids.

Irene Watterson

Exports also sustained growth in manufacturing. Government spending has accelerated and will continue to be the main driver for growth next year with mega projects.

Ampon Kittiampon

We will spend what it requires to get our message out. The early money is for basic staffing, organizational development and grassroots development.

Tim Lennon

It is my hope that we will spend more time talking about the substantive needs of schoolchildren than the issue of attaching political blame.

Arlen Specter

I've just got to get my name out there more. People are concerned about the city's wild spending, and that's why I'm running.

Fred Schmidt

The pick up in house price inflation since mid-2005 has the potential to provide further positive impetus to consumer spending in the months ahead.

Michael Workman

The space domain for manned spaceflight is no longer the domain of a huge bureaucracy spending billions of dollars. We can do it privately.

Dick Rutan

I decided to spend my energy doing this. I think we need to be looking ahead. We don't need to be looking in the mirror. We need a plan for success.

Barry Breen

They were impressed because during the interview process he wanted to spend a lot of time with them. He made us feel good about the company and our work. But he wants to challenge them, too -- everyone in fact.

Peter Boal

In such a budget, should NASA receive almost a 6 percent increase? Is it the highest domestic spending priority? I don't think so, and I doubt my colleagues will either.

Sherwood Boehlert

That's what happens when you're a worldwide company. You spend a lot of time on planes.

Walt Rakowich

Try to spend a few moments each day holding a picture of your body and your mind in a state of splendid health.

Jean Houston

The council is concerned about spending any amount of money on this.

Councilman Van Pearlberg

We're spending at a level not supported by the tax base.

Melindo Persi

Normally, we would be looking for tax cuts. This time, I was looking for more spending. I think the economy needed it; the area needed it.

Rob Watson

The general rate of inflation is higher for retirees because of the fact that lots of things retirees spend their money on -- travel, hobbies and health insurance -- are going up at a faster rate than the overall inflation.

Jess Hurst

Some of (the children's) educational needs might not be met. You can't spend all the time that they'll need.

Felicia Brown

He will be spending the holidays with the troops.

John Wooden

It gives people a reason to come here and spend the afternoon.

Pam Melvin

Why are we having to spend money on people who are here illegally?

Ron Woodard

If you're printing 1,000 tags monthly, about a medium size supplier, you are probably spending between $3 and $4 per tag. This includes software, hardware, integration, and servers to manage the data. We come out with a capital cost of about $60,000.

John Keenan

Many of us spend half of our time wishing for things we could have if we didn't spend half our time wishing.

Alexander Woollcott

They have money to spend and they're going to be spending money on consumer electronics, they're going to be spending money on the Web, buying on the Web.

Mark Carpenter

I've requested their public relations budget because they are spending a lot of money buying ads and they tell me they don't have the money to broadcast their meeting on cable access TV.

Mike Rooney

Once you build out the system your remaining (spending) is based only on growth. The big expense is a one-time lump expense.

Christopher Taylor

That surplus is being spent on everything the government does from rutabaga research to the war in Iraq. If Congress is going to spend like a drunken sailor, take the bottle away from them.

Michael Tanner

If the court says this particular spending limit in Vermont is unconstitutional but there may be cases in which spending limits are warranted, that would certainly be a victory for the parties defending this law.

Spencer Overton

Even when small-caps are overvalued -- there are 5,000 small caps -- you're still going to be able to find some great opportunities that people have either overlooked or don't spend any time studying.

Tom Gardner

I think he should spend the rest of his days surrounded by the very people that he hates.

Maureen Santora

Its a 45 million dollars market in homeland security federal government has 29 billion dollars in product and services that they are spending on products and services but we need to make sure that Illinois companies are taking advantage of this - and they way they need to take advantage is they need to have knowledge of what is happening in this area.

Jack Lavin

Tyco is really correct here. They did make the required disclosure in their cash flow statement as far as how much money they spend net of the cash they received of those companies, so I can see Tyco's point.

David Tice

I think the FEMA budget should be dramatically increased. And I say that as a conservative who's not reflexively for more government spending. The department has always tried to do homeland security on the cheap.

Clark Kent Ervin

We expect there will be tax cuts for individuals and across the board. The minister [of finance] has been blessed with a revenue service that's keen to do its job. But can government spend the money effectively? That's got to be the focus.

Kevin Lings

People don't know how to cut spending if they don't know who is getting the tax money now.

Seth Grossman

In almost every survey of consumers, they say they don't mind spending money. What they hate is the shopping experience.

Alan Bush

It affects our clients and customers. It affects our staff, it affects our ability to hire staff and the more time they spend on the road commuting to and from work the less time they can spend doing productive work at the office.

John Spear

Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending.

Anne Bradstreet

The market is event driven and we're looking for some events in times of turnaround. We need corporations to start spending money again and then for that to follow through to the consumer.

Troy Nickerson

First a majority of House Republicans voted against our military's effort to stop genocide in Kosovo, now that same majority uses funding for the operation as an excuse for $6 billion in non-Kosovo military spending and the majority whip calls us chicken hawks.

Thomas Allen

For the most part, spending continued steadily throughout the weekend.

William Ford

But the fact is, it's illegal for the Administration to spend North west taxpayers' money to develop this rate hike proposal, just so it can turn around and raise their energy rates.

Maria Cantwell

Don't you think that's really outdated, especially since we spend a 'gazillion' dollars on technology?

Mary Gill

You have said that if you had the money, you would give it to us. The money is there but you are opting to spend it in other ways.

Susan Huffman

Retail spending is recovering nicely with a solid momentum occurring since May.

Stephen Koukoulas

In recent years, China's defense spending has increased along with its economic development.

Jiang Enzhu

Companies are making more and spending less.

Howard Silverblatt

People are getting are little antsy. Spending for technology is going to be very product specific and very choppy.

Bill Kornitzer

Our focus is at the high end of the market. We didn't spend all the money that we did on this acquisition to be playing on the low end.

Peter Ritcher

If we can spend $4 million for that car race, can't we do something about a store?.

Bill O'brien

I think it's a good thing though. It means more people got to spend Christmas with their families.

Tonya Burgess

He told us that he…basically…didn't want to spend the rest of his life in jail.

Bill Harris

My experience is that, for the average investor, for someone who doesn't spend a tremendous amount of time analyzing the market, it's too difficult to evaluate different markets against each other.

Stephen Barnes

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.

Will Rogers

By setting it up as a tour, people can spend 10 to 15 minutes with the application if they want. There are 15 scenes covered from the last season and they can experience it in a variety of ways.

Ian Schafer

We were going to have to spend money on safety extensions regardless of runway expansion, and we were able to get the funding to accomplish both.

Noah Lagos

Our schools spend about half of what is spent per pupil in New York City public high schools, [and] with dramatically better results. The problem is not the amount of money being spent. Spending in New York City has increased several billion over the last five years alone; the problem is how the money is spent.

Chris O'malley

The general tech market has recalibrated their investment view that there's going to be very little tech recovery, very little pick-up in IT (information technology) spending in 2002; they're putting it off until at least 2003. So people figure, why buy these companies now?

Walter Winnitzki

I don't know any other way. But it's really great. We can work and spend so much time with them.

Laura Weiss

It's important when you come into a new school district that you spend time listening and learning.

Leslie Fausset

I've never seen him get angry. You gotta understand, in wrestling we spend so much time together. But I've never seen a malicious act by him.

Paul Cummings

The government's speech on spending has been good, signaling it is mindful of the fiscal performance, but the market will watch for the figures coming out today and tomorrow to confirm that's really taking place.

Jorge Knauer

In some ways, the sales tax is fairer. A retired person living on a fixed salary, their property tax appreciates while they don't spend much on sales tax.

Don Crosby

In the long run that's got to be part of the solution, rolling back tax cuts. If you don't [approach the deficit] as a shared, balanced approach where you look both at the revenue side and spending side of the budget, you don't do much to decrease the deficit. You can't do it without doing both.

Jim Horney

Part of it is driven by low interest rates, part of it is stimulation by governments to get people to start spending more.

Todd Martin

The reinvention process always brings with it the requirement to spend money for upgrading the stores and strengthening their reputations.

Bill Bishop

The recovery in employment and incomes should continue bolstering consumption ahead. And the recent machinery orders data suggests capital spending will maintain an uptrend into the fourth quarter onwards.

Ryutaro Kono

It is a whole lot bigger and harder to control, and we need to control the growth of government and spending.

Dominic Calabro

We're rejecting more applications, collection is being accelerated and we're being more conservative on our credit increases. We're able to predict spending trends a lot quicker than in the past.

Brian Wood

The guys who spend a lot of time on the range become his closest friends, ... He has always gravitated toward the guys who work the hardest.

Nick Price

I spend long hours in that rig, and sometimes may walk several miles in the heat and humidity of the jungle, which can really wear you down.

Pamela Moore

It's to the point where the money I'd spend getting down there, it's not really worth it.

David Dyer

A combination of weak consumer spending and challenging world markets is weighing on UK manufacturing.

Ian Mccafferty

They spend quality time together, just the two of them. I'll walk into the Oval Office and they're talking, and I'll walk out and shut the door.

Andrew H. Card Jr

Just like any hobby, you can spend as little or as much as you want. The sky's the limit. Some of these guys have thousands of dollars in these jets.

Art Williams

The children get so excited to be on campus and around college students. I have seen so much growth from the kids in just the two hours we spend with them. They become more vocal and gain a rise in their self-confidence.

Hannah Fessler

They're spending some dough, which we love.

Jordy Tollett

Over the years we have consistently been spending billions of dollars more on R&D than on all aspects of marketing and advertising.

Jeff Trewhitt

As far as preparations go this week, we're going to spend as much time defending the pass as we do the rush.

Ron Crawford

You spend more time with these people here than you do your own family.

Shea Hillenbrand

You spend one-third of your life in bed, and a good night's sleep has such an incredible impact on how you feel.

Nancy Shark

If you're in that position that you know you're going to spend the money anyway, you're far better off to pay it now and relieve yourself of the risk of dying in that interim period and paying a significant tax rate on that.

Bill Abrams

We also got to spend a weekend living in a home with a family.

Jan Jensen

I think it's dangerous any time you spend money before it's in your hand. You never know what's going to happen.

Cindy Hockenberry

I think Dob has spent a good portion of his life here, ... and he was just anxious to spend time with his family and see what is out there for him.

John Orr

I'm feeling my way and a lot of it right now for me is instinct. I'm meeting with the coaches, spending extra time trying to study and catch up and just get familiar with the system.

Roman Phifer

There has to be a reasonable budget policy that limits the countries in their spending.

Klaus Liebscher

On Saturday afternoons today, you'll find women spending time with their families, traveling or at the gym.

Jini Reynolds

There isn't much better in this life than finding a way to spend a few hours in conversation with people you respect and love. You have to carve this time out of your life because you aren't really living without it.

Real Live Preacher

I'd have to say that, in general, models take themselves too seriously. Basically, they are genetic freaks who spend a couple of hours in hair and makeup.

Rebecca Romijn Stamos

There are two kinds of worries -- those you can do something about and those you can't. Don't spend any time on the latter.

Duke Ellington

I think there are times we could have diversified our attack a bit. Over the last few games we've been heavily left-sided, and we need to spend that time out in the middle a bit more.

Cobi Jones

It's been pointed out that this is what students spend downtown in a night. I know people who have had to drop out of school because they just can't afford (the cost).

Jacob Johnson

I would love for that to be the amount of time I spend in jail.

Mark Koenig

It just does not fit into what else he has done. He has presented himself as a good-government person - and he does have a record of reform - which is why people are at a loss as to why he would spend significant sums of public money on promoting himself.

Dick Dadey

We can ill afford to spend all this money defending what the superintendent is calling 'just a philosophy class.

Paula Harvey

You must first spend some time getting your model to relax. Then you'll get a natural expression.

Norman Rockwell

We can expect a jobless rate of 9 percent by the summer, and that can have a positive impact on consumers confidence and on spending. The government's betting it will have a psychological impact.

Marc Touati

Spending should remain strong in the days following the holidays as consumers look for post-holiday sales, and begin using their gift cards.

Wayne Best

A takeover bid is underscoring prospects for the sector, which has been benefiting from a recovery in consumer spending.

Susumu Abe

We don't want to spend months de-watering grease until it is solid enough to haul to a landfill.

Mike Frazier

Common sense says consumers have to stop spending money at some point. But consumers haven't shown much common sense lately, despite griping about gas prices.

David Wyss

There is quite a lot of research around which suggests that although it is an effective form of pain relief, an epidural means many women will spend longer pushing the baby out of the birth canal and are more likely to need some other intervention.

Sue Macdonald

Because he's got some natural aerobic ability, he's been able to spend more time on other areas of his game. He's spent a huge amount of time on his kicking, and the other thing he's focused on is his strength - he's put on between seven and nine kilos in a year that's basically muscle. He's got a man's body now.

Stephen Schwerdt

Leonard is sad that this whole thing took place, but glad that this leg of the litigation is completed. He would prefer to spend his time on his creative endeavors.

Scott Edelman

Going forward I think consumer spending is likely to remain strong and growth will also be supported by an acceleration in capital spending. We see growth at between 4% and 5% this year.

Magan Mistry

As the college football season starts, what better way to spend an autumn afternoon? We attended 18 games in 14 consecutive weekends last year, plus the national championship game.

Dave Hollingsworth

We've got the most pressure. We can't go out and spend money on commercials and billboards and all that. It's all a matter of getting out to different places, seeing different people, and hoping they tell their friends.

Aaron Marks

I'm almost afraid to total it up. We are spending a pile on gasoline. It's ridiculous.

Jeff Jenkins

The only negative is the guidance for capital spending this year, which is much higher than expected.

Francis Cheung

It's been three years since the band has had a big trip. We'll prepare some patriotic music. We'll be spending five nights out there.

Tom Tomasello

Those that have store, Web and catalog will be the big winners, ... The consumers tell us they're going to spend their money with brands they know. That's why we call it 'the revenge of the incumbents.'

Michael Silverstein

I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.

Jesse Owens

I spend my life essentially alone at a computer. That doesn't change. I have the same challenges every day.

Dan Brown

The less money we have to spend on workers compensation, the more money we save for the company.

Scott Kerr

My concern is that when the economy begins to slow, as I expect this year, revenue will fall as well, but it will be hard for the government to slow spending.

Bertrand Delgado

If you're not a saver, I'd be very concerned you may spend that investment account.

Gerard Papetti

Roland had an adventurous spirit. He always said there were two things he didn't mind spending money on: good food and travel.

Roland Kampmeier

So, that drives revenues down and at the same time they've got to spend to create demand over the course of the quarter because the December quarter is still quite important.

Daniel Kunstler

We are getting the investment we need to see, ... It continues the theme of rebalancing in the economy: slowing consumer spending and housing being replaced with stronger exports and investment.

Michael Blythe

We're so small, everyone has to be involved in everything. These are all volunteers. No one gets a dime and they're spending their own money on gas and babysitters as well as other donations to the play.

Terri Bushman

The teen is pretty recession proof and always likes to spend during the holiday season. The Gap unfortunately is still having trouble connecting with the customer.

Christine Chen

I think there's a grassroots effort. None of us has any money to spend. After listening to all the information, we decided seniors should vote 'no' and the reasons are many.

Fred Birchard

I spend about 50 hours a week running the lab, coming up with new labs and preparing lectures. I will ride my bike depending on how late I will be on campus or if I know I am going to have a long day.

Larry Bortner

It is a very bad idea for the United States government to spend tens of billions of dollars to send people to Mars and to the moon.

Barney Frank

The people of Kansas are concerned about the amount of money we're spending on incarcerating drug offenders.

Laura Green

It's not unusual to spend $1,000 a month.

David Osborne

There will probably be a modest increase in expenditures. But relative to what Amazon will spend on marketing to attract new customers, it should be relatively minor.

Chris Vroom

They will spend a lot more time together. This kind of socialization is very important ... for breeding.

Lisa Stevens

Often, we spend time in our different corners of the city. We're in different places like silos, which prevent us from interacting with one another very often on a one-on-one level. This is not associated with anything but the idea of community. If we can build that opportunity to get to know each other in a common space, that is tremendous.

Andrew Stephens

There is no question that overall sales amounts are going to rival the weekend before Christmas and a lot of stores are going to do better than that. You're getting people into the stores at a time when they don't normally shop, they don't normally spend money.

Jon B. Hurst

Raytheon is going to benefit tremendously from our beefed up military spending after several years of down. We look for that to turn around. And the arsenal of missiles is a little depleted after Kosovo.

Richard Dahlberg

He may spend his tens of millions on slick TV ads, but this isn't eBay. The governor's race does not have a 'buy it now' option.

Dan Newman

Part of the weakness has to do with global IT demand. This is a moderately negative signal about the tech spending outlook. But it's clearly more than just IBM.

Richard Petersen

Television sitcom means a little play each week in front of a live audience. On film, you might spend all day on one scene, doing it from different angles, and they can be more interesting sometimes due to the script, or nature of the project. So I enjoy both mediums for different reasons.

Stephen Root

Even though gas prices have been declining since their peak in early September, consumers are still feeling the emotional and financial pinch, and they clearly see shopping online as a great way to conserve cash they spend on loved ones this holiday season.

Bob Hayes

I do it to give a little something back. And I actually receive a lot more than I give. I spend time with the little ones — infants and toddlers. I like to hold them and play with them. I'm there every Tuesday from 6 a.m. to noon. I love it.

Bob Hart

These numbers are the result of the fiscal responsibility of the Republican Congress, and it would be a mistake to throw that responsibility overboard by an aggressive new spending plan.

John Feehery

You could end up spending a lot of money on something that didn't exist, or had been sold to somebody else already. But what are they going to do to minimize the impact of their operations?

Francis Sullivan

Local people have to make monetary and fiscal spending in order to attract outsiders to do the same thing. There is still plenty of land available.

Guri Sandhu

Exuberant levels of consumer confidence, household borrowing and domestic spending continued to fuel domestic economic activity and enhance business confidence.

Richard Downing

You should spend no time whatsoever wondering if those funds are good for you, once you're confident your employer has done the proper due diligence.

Wayne Bogosian

There's just so many structures in Pennsylvania and fundamentally limited resources to deal with them all. We're trying to put the focus on bridges and ramp up spending.

Rich Kirkpatrick

I love animals and I thought this would be a great way to earn a living. I've been around dogs my whole life, so this is a great way to spend lots of time with different kinds of dogs.

Tammy Smith

It's shameful that the Democratic-led Maryland legislature chose to spend their time legislating their Election Day ground game. This is a misuse of their time and it illustrates that they plan on stealing the elections because they don't have the people's confidence.

Audra Miller

What I think I am hearing in the community is that they would like to hear more about what the layout would look like ... so people can have more details about what they are spending their money on.

Tammy Shadlow

We applaud President Bush and his commitment to greater consumer health care empowerment. The evidence is mounting to show that informed consumers who control their own health care spending are also more likely to make better personal health care choices.

Gregg Lehman

The margin for error on this issue is practically nonexistent. You can never spend enough on security for the petroleum industry in Saudi Arabia. One error will have global repercussions.

Nawaf Obaid

We'll spend the day there and visit different memorial sites.

Gordon Schnulle

Jon, you deprived the world of one of the finest. I hope, as you spend the next 50 years in prison, I hope you think about that.

Leroy Graham

It suggests that the escalation of the cost (of running) for governor has now moved on down the line. You wonder if it's not some destructive competition to see who can spend more to win the consolation prize.

Blease Graham

In general, the economy is proving to be resilient to energy and gas price pressure. It's on a growth path. Even though oil prices are higher, the fundamentals of the economy are strong. Therefore, we see consumers' savings rate falling and spending up.

Michael Englund

We need to stop spending money on death, the war in Iraq and on enhancing the lives of the people in our own country.

Dick Morris

There is no better way to honor Dr. King than to spend Monday giving back to our communities in his memory. He encouraged us to work together to build better, stronger and more united communities and he showed us that we can make a difference.

Jeanne Shaheen

Instead of proposing a repeal of the tax breaks he handed to the oil, gas and pharmaceutical giants, ... proposing that federal spending cuts come at the expense of middle-class families who are already struggling with the soaring costs of tuition, prescription drugs and doctor visits.

Bill Burton

Be careful how you spend your time: Spend your time in nothing which you know must be repented of.

Richard Baxter

The economy is shifting from consumption to investment growth. The long commodity boom will also promote spending on construction and engineering that will grow the economy further.

Chris Hart

You've had not only a steady rise in actual oil and gas prices, but you have had a steady rise in the expected oil and gas prices by the companies. Spending plans appear to be robust.

Geoff Kieburtz

It is a fast turnaround from the holidays, no question. But I think if merchants spend a little time planning, they can make it work and have a great month.

Rich Riley

Wise is the person at either end. Who can in due measure spare as well as spend.

Lucian

Users were down on the future right after Katrina, and it showed in our surveys. Then last month they more than doubled their spending outlook when users realized the economy was still perking along. This month they came back to earth. Small business executives were especially realistic.

John Gantz

The fly-by-nights don't want to spend any time with you.

Robert Manning

Parents: persons who spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out, and the rest of the time wondering when a child will turn in.

Ted Cook

I think the school should spend more on drama programs and extracurricular activities.

Helen Green

It's not plausible that capital spending has been weakened by the fact that multinationals are holding their funds abroad. I just don't believe that story.

Jan Hatzius

We definitely see a leveling off in sales growth this year. However, there are a number of positive factors -- such as improvements in disposable income, increased corporate spending and relatively low unemployment -- that will help maintain sales.

Jay Mcintosh

Hal Rogers is just incredible, ... When you get someone like that on your side, you can't hardly tell him 'no.' He knows where the pockets of money are in Washington, all of 'em, and how to spend it.

Steve Lawson

Billy enforced it from the beginning and got it going. Now we have to maintain it. I can't say guys didn't gripe about it, but we're managing. It just means you have to spend a little more money on suits instead of jeans.

Tony Delk

The sales warning from Target is dampening optimism toward consumer spending during the holiday season and outweighing the better than expected (October) retail sales data.

Chris Burba

I don't think Dell will come out and pound the table on corporate spending, ... It's as if Dell is operating in a vacuum.

Ted Parrish

Customers appreciate the savings and it gives friends and family a chance to dine out together without spending too much. The early success was proof that the demand for casual dining at this price point on our menu deserved a national campaign.

Clay Dover

As of January 1999, companies are spending an equal amount in IT and outside, for things like risk assessment on their business partners and contingency plans. By the end of the year, companies will spend two-and-a-half to three times more outside IT.

Lou Marcoccio

It looks like a loose rock that is blacker and rougher than the material of Home Plate and so we wanted to spend some time checking that out.

Joy Crisp

Areas of concern are more numerous. Most important, continuing deterioration of the financial health of U.S. automakers is a major risk to ad spending, already visible in the third quarter of 2005, and notwithstanding General Motors Corp.'s recent shift back to incentives.

Heather Goodchild

People's sentiment is changing. They don't mind spending more for attractive goods.

Takahide Kiuchi

Our strategy is to spend money on the right player at the right price.

George Mcphee

We've been talking for a long time about capital spending growth being a key component of the sustainability of this recovery. You have to be encouraged about what we've seen.

Joshua Feinman

Consumers will have to curb their spending eventually, which would help to cool economic growth.

Bob Doll

It's sad and it's good. I'm sure I will spend a lot of time here. Of course, it's like Johnny never left. He is still in my heart.

Jack Brown

It's a practical, not statutory, decision. We're not going to spend resources to go after a dollar or two. ... If you send it in, fine. If not, we're probably not going to bother with it.

Mark Muchow

We've done all the research and booked with the best tour operators. We take care of all the details with attention paid to the quality and safety of each excursion so that our guests can spend their day enjoying themselves.

Diane Moore

Business spending is evidently strong and will remain so for the rest of the year, driving overall economic growth.

Hiroaki Muto

That is a lot of money to spend on a house that is just going to get pushed over.

Larry Deese

Sentiment going forward is cautious, which seems to be a trend in this economic recovery cycle, but capital spending plans are firm, indicating that companies are continuing to push ahead in business activity despite a cautious stance.

Mamoru Yamazaki

And I think President Bush is going to get his tax cut, which also is going to help. But the consumer is a big part of what's important here. So far the consumer confidence has been okay, but it's the cautiousness of the consumer, I think, that's making a lot of corporations more cautious in their spending.

David Peterschmidt

I love it, I love being able to help. Just spending time talking to (the patients), or making them laugh, is fun. I usually get them laughing by making fun of myself.

Heather Patterson
