Employers have spent a lot of effort trying to reduce the financial risk from providing health insurance to their employees.

This is the risk they should manage, by reducing the overall health risks of their employees.

David Strom

While we saw a pick-up in spending at the beginning of the year, that was just a one-off as consumers spent on sales and on seasonal goods. Given the softness we're seeing in spending in February, there isn't evidence that rising wages are feeding into consumption.

We spent about 18 months trying to negotiate with all the power tool-making companies, trying to get them to put it on their products and they, at this point anyway, decided not to do it.

Alan Hale

If individuals are intent on cheating, they can be quite creative in their efforts. What they need to know is that we are working harder than ever before to ferret out dishonesty, waste, fraud, abuse and inefficiencies. We are going to come to work every day and do our very best to safeguard tax payer dollars and see that they are spent as they were meant to be.

Todd Bodine

I think he spent most of the first term coughing up the nicotine from his cigarettes.

Duncan Larcombe

We have a pretty good passport on my blood levels and I'm routinely around 17 (maximum level) as I've spent almost my entire life living and training at altitude.

Leif Zimmermann

We were told at the beginning of the war, 'a few billion dollars and then Iraqi oil will pay for everything.' We're now looking at $320 billion that have been spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We had tremendous financial struggles. We spent four years in the red before the management services agreement.

Michelle Goodwine

If Moses had gone to Harvard Law School and spent three years working on the Hill, he would have written the Ten Commandments with three exceptions and a saving clause.

Keith Lieppman

John has been designing kitchens forever. We decided rather than having other people build his kitchens we would make them ourselves in our Canada workroom. We've spent years perfecting our finishes there.

A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.

Burt Lancaster

'If I had all the money I'd spent on drink, I'd spend it on drink.'

Vivian Stanshall

I had renegade parents. Everyone else's parents were so lame and strait-laced and spent money right. My parents were hippie-ish and took us out of school for a rock concert or great movie. Their record collection was really important to me. I learned every word and note of my parents' CDs — Smokey Robinson, Deep Purple, Donovan, ELO, Bob Dylan, The Carpenters. It was very eclectic.

Billy Lunn

We've spent an enormous amount of time on our transportation plan. We try to be prepared for contingencies, but in Northern Virginia, as we all know, it only takes one bad thing to block you up for awhile.

George Burger

I learned how to hunt here, and my two boys, Dylan and Landon, both shot their first deer, wild turkeys and ducks here, ... I probably spent 40 of 52 weekends here hunting or enjoying the mountain with my wife and boys.

Scott Cannon

As a result we have now spent next summer's transfer budget unless players are disposed of to realise cash for re-investment.

David Gill

I'm the only one sitting here to say I have true law enforcement experience. Mr. Curran has not spent one minute as a first responder.

Lawrence Oliver

I don't know that the Palmer play was the driving force (for the proposal), but it was certainly a force. Every year, we look at all the injuries. We additionally spent a lot of time this year looking at the quarterback tape and the quarterback injuries. So when a defensive player has an opportunity to avoid, he must take that opportunity to avoid.

Rich Mckay

The biggest increase we saw was in our destination visitors. Destination visitors stayed longer, spent more money.

Tom Horrocks

As one who has supported every great foreign policy initiative from Kennedy to Reagan, I reject the isolationist label, especially when made by those who spent their youthful careers marching against the Cold War policies that brought us victory.

Pat Buchanan

We realize that while millions of dollars have been spent on new roads, many visitors don't yet know about them.

I don't remember anybody saying how much money we've just spent to upgrade the physical facilities at our schools, which would be part of that complex of issues.

He's upset about the dissolution of the company that he has spent more than 40 years with. It's been very difficult for him emotionally to see the company sold and particularly now to see it not sold as a whole.

Polk Laffoon

I spent a lot of time with Barry discussing his motivation, why he'd want to do the show. We had to make sure our vision was compatible, that I would have the opportunity as a filmmaker to have creative controls and be autonomous.

Mike Tollin

Who should have spent their money on a brain implant?

Anne Robinson

We have yet to see how the law is going to be implemented, how much revenues would it generate and how these additional collections would be spent.

Agost Benard

What the hell has conservation done? The World Wildlife Fund must have spent several billion pounds, it hasn't saved the panda, tiger, nothing.

Chris Morrison

With our innovative field goal net program, we wanted to include an element which we gave back to important causes. The donations to general scholarship funds and hurricane relief were money well-spent, benefiting two charities that we feel strongly about.

Joe Tripodi

The first half of life is spent mainly in finding out who we are through seeing ourselves in our interaction with others.

Dr. June Singer

The investigation was exceptionally thorough and the Skelly process was done well, ... The mayor and the council spent an incredible amount of time going through everything.

Mike Fitzpatrick

I think that retailers have always been somewhat responsible for what they sell. Many of them have spent a lot of time and effort on quality control. I think litigation is a fact of life for retailers. What you're seeing here is that retailers are being held responsible for more and more.

Michael Exstein

What could possibly come from it? I don't think dollars were diverted from what they were supposed to be spent for, which was winning the Games. It's just a footnote or an asterisk in the process of what it took to be selected. To that extent, it's just history.

Tom Welch

Our No. 1 concern is his health, ... He has a contract and we expect him to coach. We have not spent one second thinking about what happens next year, we have nine games left and I hope we win our fair share.

John Shaw

There's nothing these coaches could have done. I don't think we came out ready to play. We spent too much time vacationing down here. In the first quarter, I played horribly. To a man, we were overconfident. When you get overconfident, sometimes you get your (butt) beat.

Wayne Dickens

Our players left everything on the field. When they came off the field, they were spent. I was watching them come through the tunnel going to the locker room. I just really hurt for them because the effort was just terrific. It was like two heavyweight fighters through the overtimes refusing to go down.

Dave Hart

We've probably spent $20,000 on added security.

Scott Hunter

To think that it all started when I was 9 and he spent all of his hard-earned money on my go-karts and then he missed that win, ... He was crying on the phone, and I told him he had to stop because he was making me cry.

Katherine Legge

They spent only one minute for the second time to talk to them, and the kids came back very, very sad.

Parviz Razavian

We estimate cash-out refinancing for 2001 is going to raise cash from home equity of about $80 billion. About 60 percent [about $50 billion] of that will be spent.

Orawin Velz

It's been said: 'How can a team have a manager making that kind of salary when our payroll is [so low]. ... It's the best money this organization's ever spent. He taught these young players how to win. He taught all of us how to win.

Chuck Lamar

When there's a state championship in town, it's pretty extensive the money that's spent. So it could be good for the whole community.

Brian Weaver

The Social Security surplus is always being spent. Now it's going to defense and rebuilding rather than paying down debt. From a psychological standpoint, spending it may even be good for privatization. Opponents might use that surplus as a hedge, saying we've got money in a lock-box and don't need to privatize.

Michael Tanner

As much as you want to identify people, there has been a lot (more) time spent ruling out people. That is part of it.

Lt. Paul Register

Mike Byrne

Every day that we spent not improving our products was a wasted day.

Joel Spolsky

We spent all week talking about second-half intensity and performance. Our guys showed a lot of heart and guts to come back like we today. I'm proud of the way we played and how we stepped it up in the second half.

Steve Beville

ECISD spent $98,000 on the uniforms. We got 225 uniforms all together. The money was worth spending though, I think.

Bill Harden

I think it's well spent money on their case, and I have a law firm with some very, very talented lawyers, and just the fact that I was the corporation counsel, the fact that I know municipal law, I don't think should penalize me or my firm.

Brian Crowe

It's a lot of money. And I think it's money that should be well spent.

Margaret Lofton

One day I just wanted to see what it was like [to have the test done]. The next six months I spent having biopsies done.

Ronald Brown

For a $3 million-plus property, the average amount spent is about $10,000.

Anita Tauber

They can really look at cash balances. They can look at other accounts and investigate where money is and where money is being spent and how money can be shifted.

Mark Shoup

Finally woke up one day and realized that I spent a lot of time alone.

Keith Terry

Yes. Is it a tight squeeze? Indeed, but should we need other monies for contingency purposes, it appears we have another $162,000 the board hasn't spent and another $350,000 in capital improvement funds that would not impact the construction of the eighth elementary school or the Norge or Stonehouse renovations.

Gary Mathews

It's very difficult to isolate exactly the hours spent on the investigation.

Jim Shires

But I can tell you that the building is supposed to be somewhere near Saddam's old palace, from where he ruled this country, and where he kept his gifts. And millions and millions of dollars have been spent fortifying the building for security.

Lara Logan

The difficulty will be in monetizing wireless technology. For the telecom companies it's great because it's more minutes being spent on the phone, but for the content providers it becomes harder to get people to part with their money.

Rajeev Gupta

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

Carl Sandburg

China has been a blessing, we have spent proportionate effort and have received proportionate results.

Billy Chiu

The police estimate is between $600,000 to $700,000. To save $50,000, we spent how much? It's a sad chapter in the management of our government. It's very sad that this happened.

Dan Moran

The more time we've spent discussing it and planning for it and getting ready for it to happen, the more it means. It brings me peace in a way. I feel proud of him for his commitment, but that's the kind of person that Matt is, too.

Kristina Matarazzo

We've spent most of the day getting back to where we were [Saturday]. There's been no discussion of economics, no discussion of salaries, no discussion of health care.

Bob Bedard

We went to the regional finals last year and we had a lead with about two minutes left in the game. It was a disappointing loss last year. We tasted it. We spent a year having this goal in mind. We're here now.

Brendan Higgins

I would not have made that statement without having spent a great deal of time speaking to my senior detectives and my senior analysts.

Hugh Orde

It's less than what you already spent to make your Web site. We're not recreating content, we are not recreating graphics or images, we are not recreating from scratch.

Myriam Siftar

Everyone's personal belongings are important. But we know he's a community-minded member and a historian. We spent a lot of time doing our best to prevent damage. Some things in his collection were saved.

Greg Schwab

Giving evidence has been painful for them, the government has spent almost $6 million of taxpayers' money, we're not going to spend that again.

Peter Beattie

[The rise in energy costs caused by Katrina is] going to start taking money out of people's pockets that they would have spent on something else, ... Look for the (impact) in the earnings of discount retailers, restaurants, and travel sectors - start to look for GDP to be impacted.

Hans Olsen

And I went off to Ghana for what was intended to be seven days. I spent what was well over a year in Africa, teaching and travelling.

Stephen Lewis

In the last decade, we have spent a lot to keep our force busy and ready, but we have not spent nearly enough on modernization, personnel, and facilities.

J. Collins

They are going to fly off the handle, that's the general plan. We spent the entire preseason camp working on defense, and I'm happy with how things have turned out. I'm really not worried about the defense.

Pinsoom Tenzing

The Department of Justice has just spent an enormous amount of time and money suing Microsoft because it prohibited competition. There could be a parallel situation here.

I have spent the last month talking with Bryan and I feel we will make a great coaching partnership. Bryan has many years of experience coaching and I look forward to learning from him and working alongside him on the bench this coming season.

Mark Morrison

I spent my last [money ] trying to come here, and I was really upset that I had to turn around and go back.

Newman was a healer. He spent the last two months struggling with how to heal St. Albans. He was such a genuine, good, honest person.

Doug Spalding

I spent eight years living on sailboats.

Dan Mackin

He spent the night at my house one night in high school. My dad was driving home in a bad snowstorm, and we talked about how funny it would be (to both go to Boston College). It was, 'You bring the TV; I'll bring the microwave.' Something like that. Two days later, I committed.

Jeremy Trueblood

These two matches haven't been pretty, but we've found ways to get the job done. In non-district, we spent time finding out what didn't work instead of what worked, but you have to do that sometimes.

Mike Wiersema

I intend to move swiftly in this, ... I've spent enough of my life and time on NTP and RIM.

James Spencer

I spent a lot of days with him in Florida during spring training. After his father died we got a lot closer. I began to see how he was slipping and the difficulty he was having coping.

Jerry Howarth

You really need to have the folic acid taken on a regular basis three months prior to conception. Pregnancy is not a nine-month event. It should be considered a one-year event, with the first months spent preparing your body.

Dr. Hema Dasilva

I've heard where people have spent the night in trees getting eaten alive by mosquitoes because they were afraid of the alligators.

John Brill

There's been a huge focus on the Democratic primary, a lot of media coverage of those events ... huge amounts of money spent attacking the president.

Dan Hess

We have spent a lot of time giving JLT feedback about what we think needs to be changed about the project.

Patrick Seeb

Not a lot of money has been spent. It's been painted, but it could use some additional work, probably a few hundred thousand dollars' worth.

Mark Millan

You don't want to waste the ticket in that example. But that is irrational because you have already spent the money.

Felix Hoeffler

He must have spent it shaking hands at the Back Porch.

Terry Sullivan

Rep. Roberta Willis

People didn't stop spending money, they just spent it on things that complement their PCs.

Stephen Baker

David Lochbaum

I was hired two years ago, and I was shocked to find out there was no money being spent to market Dallas.

Phillip Jones

The average amount spent on a wedding is over $20,000. So it's a major investment for these young people.

Tommy Vaughan

I don't see why we would have to do that, ... We've been working on this for close to a year, and we've spent millions of dollars for a seating bowl and other concepts. We can't start over now.

John Mara

Having spent intimate time with him, meeting in a small group with him, it kind of scares me that he would be in a classroom with girls.

Ashley Johnson

He literally spent every waking hour walking around with those things in his hand, squeezing them. He was determined to improve.

Victor Penman

It will make people aware of Redondo Beach. (And) it's going to add to the tourist dollar that's spent in restaurants. ... The pier will get a lot of people.

Paul Goldman

He (Spielberg) has great affection and respect for the British film industry and the British people. He has always enjoyed every moment he's spent in the UK -- or anywhere where the British flag flies.

Marvin Levy

During the past four years the NGOs have spent grant money without consulting anyone. There was no legal government in existence.

Habibullah Ghamkhoor

Our top lift ticket this year is $42, which is what we charged for tickets back in New England during the mid-1980s, where I spent the first 11 years of my career. Montana is a screaming deal.

Chip Vicary

I spent 20 years feeling that there was something that should be happening in my life, and accepting that it would do so when the time was right.

Charles Thomson

He showed real passion for kids. When you are president of Little League and have spent time in the classroom with kids, that's what we were looking for.

Lou Steinberg

The liberal groups spent months raising money so they could take down anyone President Bush nominated, ... But they have not been able to touch judge Roberts.

Michael Oxley

There could be many reasons behind the reversal. There's of course a lot of money spent on advertising and the promotion of cigarettes. It's glamorized in movies. There's sibling and peer pressure to smoke for adolescents.

Robert Anda

During the 157 days that he has spent in solitary confinement, he has been deprived of consuming any fresh fruit and vegetables.

Massoumeh Shafiie

If they're going to have license renewal, they're going to need a place to store spent fuel.

Diane Screnci

We spent several months pulling information from the Multiple Listing Service and various Web sites. Then we literally called and fact-checked each of the listings we included. What we tried to do is identify the most expensive homes for sale at this point in time.

Rick Goodwin

His call came totally unsolicited. I could have easily spent this money on the dugouts at Diamond 3 (softball field). I had better use for that (budgeted) money than to pay for this crime.

Mike Drake

Life doesn't offer you promises whatsoever so it's very easy to become, 'Whatever happened to...?' It's great to be wanted. I spent a few years not being wanted and this is better.

Morgan Freeman

A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours.
