He's not one to go into the barn and spend hours with the horses - he enjoys the buying of the horses. He comes and looks at the horses with me and we go to the sales together there and at the races.

Dan Hendricks

They're starting to spend some of the money.

Howard Silverblatt

By Phase II, when drug developers begin to understand their brands' clinical and commercial strengths and weaknesses, companies tend to spend more in line with their drug's commercial prospects or shortcomings.

Jon Hess

Spend a lot of time talking to customers face to face. You'd be amazed how many companies don't listen to their customers.

H Ross Perot

If we are to avoid having to spend a lot of time worrying about where we're going to get next month's money, we need a $2 million cash infusion.

Joe Sims

We're getting pretty decent earnings across the board. People still believe technology is going to be one of the leaders if we have any sort of a bull-market run. Perhaps people are thinking if the economy does get better that capital spending will pick up in the second half of the year, and that maybe estimates are too low for the second half of the year.

Romeo Dator

There are probably other ways to spend money than boot camps.

Thomas Blomberg

They're spending more money than they originally planned. They're spending $20,000 to $50,000 more. That's significant money.

Keller Williams

To me, it's just a part of what you do as a citizen of this country, to show your belief in the principles of democracy, ... The Pledge of Allegiance is just a part of that. I think we should spend our time concentrating on those things that help build us up.

Suellen Reed

Until Congress sets priorities and restrains overall spending, members will continue to get failed ratings for protecting the interests of taxpayers.

Tom Schatz

The government owes the public an explanation of why they are doling out taxpayers' money elsewhere, rather than spending it on our people and fixing our own problems.

Pan Wei

But these are the kind of projects that are coming back on stream. It also means people are going to be spending money on projects that were more advanced or they're going to fast-track stuff that they've got on the books.

Bruce Alway

All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die; And youth, that's now so bravely spending, Will beg a penny by and by.

Conrad Aiken

If someone hasn't felt the sting yet, there's a hesitancy to spend money on it.

Brian Moody

I'm very disappointed that he had to spend eight months in jail when there was absolutely no reason for him to do so.

Lanny Breuer

If we're 9-for-10 from the line instead of 4-for-10, the game doesn't come down to a final jump shot. We spend hours shooting free throws in practice but we can't make them in games.

Steve Pikiell

You combine the Interstate 35 corridor, ... and now you're looking at a population that has the spending power.

Char Miller

What we're experiencing now is the later adopters are either lower income or certainly more frugal on their discretionary spending.

Dan Ernst

We will have to spend money on advertising to let people know we have expanded. We have never spent money on advertising before.

Brenda Fritz

Most men are pretty comfortable spending for this kind of purchase.

Darrin Cody

We spend a lot of time advising multinationals on how to hold on to their best people.

Bill Henderson

The process has become so onerous, it forces people to try to avoid subdivision review. If you had to spend two years and $20,000, or do a family transfer, what would you do? Are you trying to get something done, or evade the law?

Dick Ainsworth

Right now, we have negative real rates of return on Treasury bills and massive deficit spending. Historically, a currency can't be strong with those two factors.

Frank Holmes

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Billy Crystal

This works well for couples with no kids, no ongoing financial obligations and similar spending habits.

Michelle Smith

We'll spend the night Friday night in the (Montgomery) hotel and we'll fly out. It'll only be like an hour flight. It's like a bus ride. It'll be different but it will be similar to the (usual) routine.

Brandon Cox

Consumers continued to spend right up to Christmas. Considering the post-holiday sales over the next few weeks and consumers' eagerness to purchase items they may not have received during the holidays, we expect that spending in the final days of 2004 will continue to rise.

Wayne Best

The American public has accepted legalized gambling as a means to spend their money for entertainment. America is on a gambling binge. The more available and accessible it becomes, the more gambling is acceptable to people.

Tom Grey

It's a very bold assumption that 2011 spending will be $38 billion less than it was in 2006.

Brian Reidl

The wealthier a society, the less the income they spend on food, and less the income they spend on hard goods, and more they spend on services, ... That we have become more a service economy is not something to worry about.

Robert Mcteer

Our results were helped by lower-than-expected spending in the first quarter, ... While we expect that spending will reach more normal levels beginning in the second quarter of this year, we remain focused on effectively managing our cost structure going forward, as evidenced by the actions we announced today regarding our Asia-Pacific operations.

Philip Knight

The competition is tougher. We recognize that consumers spend the most in the store you go to first, and we want to be the first store.

Peggy Palter

In our view, shares could face near-term pressure as the company works through high start-up costs associated with Red Rock, increases in promotional spending, and competitive responses.

Smedes Rose

The consumer spending figures are better that what we were expecting... The October revision is important and it shows the trend in the fourth quarter is positive.

David Naude

The increases were just higher than we thought. As we did last year when we asked for budget increases, we returned $220,000 to the Town fund. Some of the money from the special appropriation we did not spend for the year, so we thought it was appropriate to return funds that were not needed.

Becky Coffey

All available indicators of retail activity are moving in the direction of improving household spending.

Silvia Pepino

Equally significant is that among all overseas visitors, mainland visitors are the most willing to spend on shopping, with each visitor spending close to 3,000 HK dollars (390 US dollars) on average, nearly double that of US shoppers.

Lawrence Heung

It will spend a lot of time well away from Central Florida. But on Sunday, it will make a curve back toward the Panhandle and that's when we will probably see the most rain in our area. The projected landfall is roughly between Apalachicola and New Orleans.

Larry Mowry

You can spend 10 hours a day on baseball. If you put that much time into basketball, you'll be burned out. The same love of the game just isn't there.

Ryan Doherty

Companies have to invest in research and development, lest their competitors pass them by. And they have to spend money in sales and marketing to make sure their products are getting their due in terms of promotion. Right now, the environment is so competitive that it's impossible to shift the increase in costs to the consumer, and companies are getting their margins squeezed.

Jeffrey Maxick

Any time we add more measurability and more control, advertisers understand more of what they are doing and they end up spending more.

Paul Muret

This is somewhere where people can come and spend New Year's Eve with the children and not have to worry.

Charlie Bonacolta

When you sell at an absolute auction, in its purest form, that is the market value of the property. Whether someone thinks it was worth more money doesn't matter. That's what the buyer was willing to spend at that particular moment.

Barry Baker

The frequent-flier programs' glory days are over. It is time to 'spend down' on all the airlines. Wise consumers are already doing that.

Terry Trippler

Wage inflation works with a lag and is going to stay high. It's hard to get too bearish about the outlook for spending growth.

Craig Ebert

We thought we were doing what was in the best interest of the public, but we [couldn't] spend a million dollars on four-color mailers, [like the unions].

Walter Ekard

I like having to use ingenuity... When I'm pitching ideas, I say hey guys, the real scary stuff doesn't need the big bucks... things that go bump in the night... you can scare someone without spending a lot of money.

George A. Romero

Federal flood insurance makes a lot of this development possible in areas where people otherwise would've walked away. And federal spending on beach replenishment encourages continued development of the coast, putting more people at risk. It's time for a national discussion about whether we should pull federal money away from certain areas of the coast.

Rob Young

The rules are changed now, there's not any way to build a team today. It's just how much money you want to spend. You could be the world champions and somebody else makes a key acquisition or two and you're through.

Whitey Herzog

There are things going on all over the county this weekend, but not a lot in this area. I just hope people come out, spend the day in Conway and bring their families. They can discover or rediscover everything that's great about Conway.

Ashley Davies

2004 is setting up to be the year where the leaders in online travel are going to establish themselves. And the way they will have to do it is by promoting their brand, spending on marketing.

Peter Mirsky

People tend to fall into two camps. One assumes the worst. They're going to cut back all of their spending to the point of saying, 'I'm not going to eat lunch tomorrow.' The other is, 'This is great! I've got a windfall! I'll take the next two months off!

Brian Clapp

The administration is so invested in Iraq, it really doesn't have any other ... political capital to spend on other theaters, like the Palestinian-Israeli theater.

Fawaz Gerges

I realized a dream I'd had since I was three. But I wanted to spend more time with my kids, and help them pursue their dreams.

Jim Morrison

I think they're all looking at the money and saying, 'Hey, we don't want to spend $600,000 to be an exclamation point.

Ted Wilson

Yes Craig was right it's not uncommon for me to spend 30-40 hours a week working on their cars ... I get a buzz when I see everything working right and 90 percent of the time that happens. But when things don't go right everyone notices.

Roger Young

It's part of the mythology surrounding the music business that spending huge amounts of marketing monies will ensure commercial success. This simply isn't so. If the music isn't compelling from the audience's perspective, no amount of spending will make it a hit.

Al Teller

We think this (the joke release) is typical of Beers' campaign, which is geared toward misleading the public. Bob Beers claims to be a holier-than-thou fiscal conservative, but as a legislator, he created the government spending he's complaining about.

Robert Uithoven

It was so demoralizing to lose my body and begin to realize that my whole future may be set on its ear. The thing that helped me was, instead of spending my life thinking about how I can get over (CFS), now I spend my life thinking about how to get around it, and how to succeed in spite of it.

Laura Hillenbrand

There was not much love lost between electronics and the movie company because 10 years ago, the movie company was busy losing money and the electronics company was very angry about that, ... The technology people said, 'Those people in Hollywood are spending all the money!' .

Howard Stringer

The problem with Sarbanes-Oxley is that it means 20 different things to 10 different people. There's a tremendous wealth of folklore that has been built up around it in the IT sector. A lot of people are trying to push us into spending money on Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, but I trust our auditors.

Richard Cross

Americans have forgotten how to food-shop. When we don't plan, we buy the wrong things, which causes us to spend more money and more time.

Phil Lempert

We often spend so much time coping with problems along our path that we forget why we are on that path in the first place. The result is that we only have a dim, or even inaccurate, view of what's really important to us.

Peter M. Senge

Unless the government really accelerates spending, there will be no improvement in the economy. We had hoped that the government could really play a greater role this year.

Fauzi Ichsan

Consumer confidence is poised to remain strong during 2006, which will continue to support consumer spending.

Cees Bruggemans

In mid-career, I was at one and the same time the rabbi of a major congregation, writing books, and teaching at Columbia. I didn't spend enough time with my children. Now, when I get an all-important call, I sometimes say that I'm having lunch with my granddaughter. And I do not apologize!

Arthur Hertzberg

Next year we're likely to see continued deceleration in mobile systems revenue growth and a further decline in operating profitability due to increased spending associated with 3G. That's going to be a difficult environment for the stock.

Jeffrey Schlesinger

More student-athletes would be able to travel and to dress on the field, and it would give institutions the ability to bring more people along for the playoffs and for the title game. Making a profit is an individual institutional decision, but our motivation is to help them not spend as much money and be able to celebrate the event. This will hopefully allow people to do that.

Damani J. Leech

We had been IT-led before my arrival. We had to change governance and say to the business units 'it is your money we are spending' - without a business sponsor there is no IT project. These investments are business decisions.

Darin Brumby

If they're spending time wondering how to own the customer, they're thinking about the wrong thing. With this much information available to consumers, owning the customer is not a reality.

James Mcquivey

Every additional percentage you save means you are learning to live on 1 percent less. You get a double benefit from it. You'll have more money to spend when you retire and you'll need less because you've learned to live a more modest lifestyle.

Stuart Ritter

We want to spend as much of the endowment as possible, subject to two constraints ? preserving purchasing power into perpetuity and assuring that the spending stream is relatively stable. Your great-grandchildren need to get the same economic benefit that you're getting now.

Andrew Golden

There are definitely more people traveling. And they might not be spending more on each trip, but they are definitely taking more trips.

Cathy Keefe

No matter how much you buy, even a small quantity, it will be recorded. When you have a cold, I know you don't like to spend anymore time in the store than you want to, but we think it's a pretty minimal impact.

Frank Cassidy

It's such a perfect opportunity for parents to work with their kids on a financial spending plan to talk about what's important. With a little bit of planning, the money part of (prom) should not be what you remember most.

Debra Pankow

You have to be courageous to not spend money, ... and we don't have many people who have that courage.

Tom Coburn

Calendars and clocks exist to measure time, but that signifies little because we all know that an hour can seem as eternity or pass in a flash, according to how we spend it.

Michael Ende

My question is, if you thought you could do this through the PUC, why did you spend two years trying to run legislation?

Lloyd Levine

We would have been spending the time together all summer anyway so we figured we'd be productive.

Jacob Miller

I do think this move puts even more pressure on us, in some ways. I think we have to improve next year. Dave's made a decision that, hopefully, will give us the best chance to do that, along with adding a bat that we desperately need and spending a little more money. I think we're going to put ourselves in the best position we've been in for a long time.

Kevin Mcclatchy

Otherwise a spend-prone fiscal policy teamed with a pro-growth monetary policy could be problematic for the U.S. economy and currency ahead.

David Gilmore

We will see a change in the drivers of economic growth with capital spending taking a lead. There is a little softness in consumer spending and the inflation data isn't looking that bad.

Carl Riccadonna

I'll be able to spend more time with the family now.

Mark Bruyns

It's been a challenge and we're all just happy to be home with our families and spend time with our families and take some time off.

Stephen Brewer

Many people laughed at us in the beginning. They asked, 'Why are you spending so much money just to grow grapes?' But they aren't laughing now.

Ren Jing

We have a steady bank of clientele, but it's not enough to maintain as an independent baker. I've worked six days a week for a long time, but now I'm really looking forward to spending more time with my husband. It's just time.

Judy Desantis

The more time dealers can spend with customers, the more they can sell.

Nick Bell

But most people in this country do not want to spend $700 on a lamp.

Susan Humphress

This area is a huge challenge and we don't talk about it enough. We spend a great deal of time talking about the Windsor-Detroit crossing or other major crossings in Canada and we neglect to talk about some of the other areas that are important and need attention.

Colin Kenny

Even if it's just a BB gun or a fake gun, it can cause a reaction. It can cause accidents and it can cause someone to get hurt. And now he's going to spend a night in jail, or get in trouble, and have a police record for doing something extremely stupid.

Rick Christopherson

I have long known that it is part of God's plan for me to spend a little time with each of the most stupid people on earth.

Bill Bryson

The improvement in jobs and wages means we can expect spending to be pretty good this year. Consumer spending will be reliable source of growth that will support the economy.

Satoru Ogasawara

Secretary McDonough has looked at the investigation of the armory incident, and he doesn't like what he sees. Some of these guys have been on paid leave, and he feels as a guardian of taxpayers' money that this is not the way to spend it. He doesn't like people on the payroll who aren't working.

Robby Cunningham

We have resources to do $200 billion in contracts, but we are spending $400 billion in contracts.

Joshua Schwartz

This is a very nasty virus. It's doing enormous damage in the Far East at the moment, and it's got into Russia. If it got here, it would be economically disastrous, never mind the human impact, so we do need to be spending more than we have been spending.

Hugh Pennington

The [telecom] companies simply are just not spending on networks right now because they're short of cash.

Richard Windsor

Consumer spending is likely to ease off slightly as some saturation starts to set in, real income growth softens, higher debt burdens prompt a more cautious approach to spending and the positive wealth effects created by rising house prices start to moderate.

Dennis Dykes

The way it hurts is when housing prices peak and then we no longer have this wealth effect that has been driving consumer spending. And so far, housing prices are growing at double-digit rates. But it's going to happen sometime, and we think it's going to happen probably starting in the second quarter.

Patrick Newport

We suspect economic activity over much of 2006 will be held back by sluggish consumer spending and that the Bank of England's growth forecast will prove to be too optimistic.

Howard Archer

When we started out doing this, basically what we were doing was throwing money at the problem. In most cases, people had absolutely no idea how to spend the money.

James Carafano

People are willing to spend if we give them something new, ... But there really are no new waves of technology.

Michael Capellas

We really did get along. We were very close and we'd spend four nights a week eating out together. So we (Fred and I) were very comfortable with each other.

Cliff Drysdale

I don't spend sleepless nights over getting very bad reviews.

Werner Herzog

The time that governing boards spend on these matters indicates how much interest there is in this area.

Gary Enos

That makes a significant impact on how long folks can spend riding rides, not standing in line for rides.

Brad Thomas

When are people going to link up the costs of rebuilding New Orleans with the cost of rebuilding Iraq? It's going to equate to, where are we spending our money and what are we doing?

Peter Hart

We were glad to spend the time and effort on behalf of our agents for the opportunity to learn from such a distinguished speaker such as Floyd Wickman. Our agents continue to grow in their professionalism and service to their clients.

Bob Hamilton

The (Federal Open Market Committee) will welcome this report but will need more evidence that the consumer spending slowdown will be sustained over the balance of the year.

Steve Wood

If it requires them to enforce, you ought to point that out to the board. The board, of course, has the right to exercise business judgment over what action they should take and how much money they should spend to deal with a particular issue.

James Strichartz

I feel very comfortable because with the current interest rates we could make a considerable amount of money on interest before the money is spent. We should get a substantial amount to spend on the facilities.

Superintendent Lynn Whitaker

Demand is growing along with wages. Wages are growing, and pensions will be indexed next year to make up for the last two years' inflation, which will give people more spending power.

Ryszard Petru

Florida residents reap many rewards from the $57 billion that visitors spend here annually and the $3.4 billion in tax revenues in 2005 that resulted from their spending.

Bud Nocera

At a time when the governor will be promoting austerity, it would be inappropriate for him politically to, at the same time, spend a lot of money.

Rick Thigpen

The time I used to spend playing tennis I now use for reading or doing embroidery.

Anna Lee

When you turn 50, you realize that the better part of your life is past, ... Mothers usually don't get to spend five weeks with their 21-year-old son. We drove all over the place.

Kate Mulgrew

I will also spend 10 days with the All Whites when they come in for the Malaysian matches. We will also look at players in Australia when the state leagues start next month. There are other players in Europe we have targeted. We are also keen to have a look in Asia.

John Adshead

Depending on the meal, we spend anywhere from $6 to $12 per person. We fit in the shopping when we can, but sometimes we'll get a call while we're shopping, so we have to leave everything in the cart at the store and just go.

Capt. Roger Boone

We're now spending the greater part of our time, almost all of our time, going pole to pole and house to house.

Geisha Williams

Some people spend their entire lives reading but never get beyond reading the words on the page, they don't understand that the words are merely stepping stones placed across a fast-flowing river, and the reason they're there is so that we can reach the farther shore, it's the other side that matters.

Jose Saramago

You can come out and have a fantastic day and not spend a penny if you wanted to.

Carol Cortright

I'd spend more money on gas to drive (to Wal-Mart) than I would save (in fees).

Christina Powers

It amazes me that most people spend more time planning next summer's vacation than they do planning the rest of their lives.

Patricia Fripp

We anticipate a complete resolution of the entire litigation. We reached an oral agreement on all the principled terms, but it is complex so we are going to spend today writing it all up.

Jeffrey Kessler

We could spend all day talking about how long it took us to get to first base.

David Tryba

Loggerheads spend a long time out at sea, but green turtles don't spend as long, maybe two or three years in this open-ocean existence.

Blair Witherington

I really want to spend as much time as I can with my daughter and really participate in her growing up. I'm very active in her school.

Donna Mills

They realize they can't hold the majority unless they spend millions in soft money.

Dick Gephardt

We do have a very spend-heavy government. There's very little savings.

Ron Schuler

I work fairly long hours, plus I have a wife and kids at home. I just don't have the time to grind for 10 hours a day to get to the fun content in most games, I had rather spend a little real-world cash.

Doug Robinson

Our goal is to get more efficiency into the dollars that are being spend on education.

Tim Mooney

We have up to six years to spend the money.

Patrick Plant

It's not that women don't enjoy spending free time with their children, but it is a different experience than spending time with friends. To ease time pressure, women need more free time that is not combined with other activities or responsibilities.

Liana Sayer

The quality of the phone call with small carriers is the same, you just haven't heard about these companies because they don't spend a lot of money marketing themselves.

Bill Hardekopf

If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

Brendan Francis

Just hanging out and spending time with my girlfriend would be enough for me, if she wants to get me some more I am not going to argue with that.

Brandon Frye

You need to spend time walking, ... You have cold air, sunny day, rainy day, even snow. Spend time experiencing the project.

Christopher Lasch

Chris Schenkel was a giant. As a boy, I would listen to him. When a game would get really exciting in the fourth quarter, he would say, 'Is there a better way to spend an autumn afternoon?'

Jim Nantz

They spend an awful lot of money to raise their money, which usually is something that's not necessary when you have the star power and public relations rating of an organization like that.

Trent Stamp

I'll spend another year or two at this job—as long as my health is good. I love the kids. I love the job. I'll miss it once I leave. You see them come in as little kids as freshmen. The change in them—you have to see it to really know it.

Bill Tyler

As retailers had feared, the spending surge seen in December was short-lived and not sustained into the new year.

John Longworth

This is where we chose to spend our retirement years.

Susan Mcmanus

We are not to judge thrift solely by the test of saving or spending. If one spends what he should prudently save, that certainly is to be deplored. But if one saves what he should prudently spend, that is not necessarily to be commended. A wise balance between the two is the desired end.

Owen D. Young

More than the federal government will spend on education this year, twice as much as the federal government will spend on our roads, bridges, highways and public transit systems.

Bob Graham

If they can convince people with money that, yes, you're spending $20 more here, but we offer products you can't get elsewhere, perhaps it will work.

George Anderson

It's such arduous duty physically and mentally that you can't ask people to spend too long there.

Jon Klein

If the company has to tell you every time your information is invaded, they are going to want to spend more money on preventing the problem in the first place.

Gail Hillebrand

We're slowing down our growth in spending in Asia, but we're not going into a retrenchment mode. That would be stupid. We think Asia will come back eventually.

Jeff Henley

The president's insistence on spending restraint resulted in both the highway and energy bills coming in far less than originally proposed by Congress.

Scott Milburn

So I hook up with Lorne and McNally and we spend a late night drinking and carousing. And because we just really enjoy each other's company, we're saying, 'we ought to do something together.' And up came True West.

Bradley Moss

It is a great way for us to spend father-and-son time together.

Tom Flores

The Fed comments are well received by markets in the short-term, particularly for retail shares, on which many funds are underweighted, because consumers might now get more money to spend.

Markus Steinbeis

Here it is evident that the money we are spending is supporting rescue efforts.

Tom Powers

If you talk with him and spend time with him, you get the impression that he's very laid back, very easygoing, ... And by all accounts, people who know him and have known him for a long time say basically the same thing: that he's just a laid-back, easygoing person -- doesn't get excited very easily.

Barry Hazen

When you're in a mood to spend money on something that will not further your goal of getting out of debt, ask if you want it or need it - and if you don't, ask if you want it badly enough to further the bad feelings created by being in debt. Try to stay away from the stores, and don't look in the windows.

Gay Abarbanell

If people and governments have money to spend on animals and the humane treatment of animals, they will. But in Mexico and a lot of other countries, that's sometimes not an option.

Jeff Young

They think we (the Canadians) are crazy because we'll spend 24 hours driving to see a race in Florida. Meanwhile, they are home 90 minutes after the race and it takes us two days to get home.

Dave Wiggins

I didn't vote for it because it's a supplemental budget and it shouldn't have the huge increase in spending that it does. $500 million in new spending is unheard of in supplemental budget. It's unreal.

Tim Sheldon

[The disaster in New Orleans] is not an act of god, ... This is an act of man. The federal government refused to spend the money to improve the levees.

Benigno Aguirre

Amid the continued recovery of corporate activity, which reduces anxiety about job security, Japanese consumers seem to be increasingly willing to spend more, and that trend is most likely to be sustained going forward.

Taro Saito

He's spending all this cash. He certainly didn't make it on a mayor's salary. He has to explain it from somewhere else, and poker winnings ain't gonna get it.

Bruce Harvey

It's different. At one and five . . . you've got an almost 90 percent certainty of who is going to be there. Your grouping is smaller. At 19, you spend a lot of your time speculating and trying to study what other people need and what they're going to do. (On Saturday), 18 good football players are going to go before we pick.

Buddy Nix

After spending my first half day with them, I was impressed by their politeness and respect to superiors even in the detention center and their intelligence.

Dr. Melinda Bandalaria

It's probably our biggest challenge as I feel we've been a bit shotgun, ... We have people ringing up and saying 'Do you want to advertise in this magazine,' and we say 'OK' without knowing the value. How much do you have to spend to get that cut-through?

Gail Davidson

If we can turn the turnstiles and fill up the seats, we know the business model will take care of itself. I do know this is an affluent group of people because just to get to Las Vegas these people will have had to spend $1,000 already to get here.

Darren Libonati

The Web is a great place to shop and spend money, but it's pretty great for making money too.

Joanne Pratt

As financial services companies step up spending on security to meet rising threat levels, IT security skills are now attracting the kind of premiums reminiscent of Java programmers during the dot-com boom.

Ann Swain

As consumers are clearly changing their spending attitude, the retail sector may continue to benefit.

Haruki Takahashi

We continue to believe SAP is seeing an improving IT-spending environment and is taking market share from global peers, especially Oracle.

John Segrich

Over the last 10 years, we've seen a fairly significant core of the population spending more than half the value of their home on improvements. Some of that is because buyers increasingly are moving into older suburbs convenient to their jobs in the city, and they're renovating smaller Cape Cod and ranch-style homes.

Kermit Baker

Looking further ahead, spending will rise in the first half of 2006, but spending should flatten in the second half of the year before starting a sustainable recovery into 2008.

Klaus Rinnen

The thing about the quarterly figures is they're more driven by what took place at the end of the previous quarter and the start of the current quarter than what happened at end of the current quarter. These numbers tell us spending had a little more momentum heading into 2003 than the quarterly figures would indicate.

Douglas Porter

Legislation is very badly needed. This has been left to self-regulation, which is self-evidently constricted by the fact that the plants don't want to spend any more money than they have to.

Michael Greenberger

The response has been amazingly strong. Women are spending their own money to get to the Gulf Coast and outfit these women.

Judie Steege

It varies, and we probably spend more than most do. They're there to draw from. There's only so many times you can go to them, especially if you go to them for a sizeable donation.

Mike Suggs

The data show that online consumers are more educated, are spending more, and are more satisfied than they were last year.

Anthony Noto

Spend a Day with Canseco on the Hill.

Jose Canseco

We hope they'll learn to prioritize their financial decisions instead of spending all their monthly salary on a Hummer, which one student did last year. It really helps teach them responsibility and we hope they'll also learn what their parents have to go through every day.

Peggy Stroud

It is not hard to appreciate that this provides a significant boost to incomes and spending. With exports representing about a fifth of GDP, each 10 percent increase in the terms of trade adds about 2 percent to the value of national income.

Malcolm Edey

If I spend at least a night in a U.S. jail, there will be problems with state secrets.

Yevgeny Adamov

The size of the buybacks and the relatively low percentage that is being reinvested in the industry would tend to indicate that oil companies don't have enough new upstream opportunities and projects to spend their money on.

Neil Mcmahon

The 30-year bond is being hurt a little bit by fears of increased government spending, no more surplus, deficit spending. But what has mitigated the losses a little bit today is the fact that oil is down so much.

Bill Hornbarger

Basically he did the wrong thing for the right reason, and he has to spend the rest of his days atoning for it.

Ann Donahue

It was an opportunity to spend time with my family and live a normal life back in Australia, ... When you?re traveling a lot, you hope for some time off, but having that amount of time off from the game, you realize how much you miss it. I have to admit that.

Alicia Molik

Strong figures will boost expectations of higher growth in consumer spending in the U.S.. That will heighten expectations of at least two more rate hikes from the Fed, supporting the dollar.

Yuji Saito

Not just do they look like they could be sisters, but they feel like they could be sisters. We've encouraged them to spend time together. Most of the time, I think they search on eBay and do shopping and discuss things that have no meaning to me whatsoever.

Michael Lehmann

Our assumption is that the U.S. economy will continue to improve, at least gradually, but technology spending will not show significant improvement probably for another six months.

Jeff Henley

The evidence unmistakably indicates that you have to spend money in order to make money.

Srully Blotnick

I'm not sure we as a community are spending the kind of resources we need. The public sector needs to step forward. And I think that's a good use of public dollars because this activity creates jobs.

David Frick

What I want for Christmas? What my wish would be? To spend a whole day with my mom and sisters, and just have them pretend to like my company.

Johnny Jessop

The fashion industry has been going crazy. People just aren't shopping as much - period. They're not shopping on weekends, not hanging out in malls. People are just very busy. They don't have the time to pursue shopping as a hobby. People are being cautious with their money as well. They're just not spending as we had probably in the late 80s.

Audrey Guskey

This is the highest level of weekly non-travel spending recorded to date.

Graham Mudd

Stocks are very sensitive to the risk of interest rates rising further. Higher borrowing costs can affect the ability of companies to expand and for consumers to spend.

Patrick Casselman

A lot of people are spending one night if not two nights at the hotel. The hotel is pretty much full for those days.

Robin Beerbower

At a time when newspapers need to make a major long-term transition into the new kind of online journalism, companies are driving off the old-school editors. They burn out because they spend all their time on budgets, not journalism.

Tom Rosenstiel

Part of me wishes some of the more obsessive fans would spend a fraction of the time (they spend studying the band) on politics.

Dave Matthews

There is a built-in bias in Olympia to spend money. I think there needs to be a brake on how much, how fast, so that you don't break the bank. I think it's good policy.

John Carlson

Drug companies spend $13,000 per physician annually. Those marketing tactics are very, very effective at getting physicians to do what each drug company wants -- to prescribe their product.

David Rothman

We believe our revenues will improve in the second fiscal quarter of 2002. In fact, we are seeing early signs of increased customer spending in some segments of our business for that quarter, ... This isn't surprising because even our customers' reduced forecasts for calendar 2002 are still higher than their rate of spending in the current quarter.

Henry Schacht

It will be nice to thank the fans for the time I was able to spend there.

Aaron Rowand

The perception is that rates are going up, and people are lining up to buy homes because of that. It's not a matter of if, but when the Fed raises interest rates, and that's going to have some effect on spending patterns.
