Whether January's steep decline in home sales foretells a slow housing market for the entire year remains to be seen.

Some of those standards are fairly onerous even to sophisticated, highly litigious businesses.

Our family has come together to launch this incredible program in the Columbus area, and we are dedicated to upholding the high standards of child care as an accredited Primrose School.

Carmen Caldwell

What I came away with last week was a very strong sense that the kids had been marooned up there.

It begins to lower the standards of expectation for your life.

Michael Bennet

Chris Mccray

Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.

Greg Anderson

To be fair with Schroeder, he tried and by European standards he did do more than other governments in the past few years. But the problems in Germany are more entrenched now.

Michael Coleman

Typically, when new standards are established, they're applied for future buildings.

Henry Eng

We're going to make every attempt to meet the standards.

Susan Hill

Scott Clavenna

The hurricane is being used as a pretext to attack health and environmental standards.

Frank O'donnell

Once the transition is made, it is important to realize TSA is still responsible for the oversight of security. The vendor screeners will still be operating under TSA standards.

Kapil Sibal

I came here to do a job which is about raising standards in schools.

A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them.

Alexander Herzen

It's still fairly high by historical standards. There's starting to be some influence of higher interest rates and the more volatile stock market, but not much influence yet.

Rosanne Cahn

There's not one energy or utility stock that meets our standards of continuous long-term business performance.

Having one cow in a 12 month period, which is what it's been since they (Canada) had their last one, does not change the minimal risk standards that Canada falls under. So it should not disrupt trade in any way.

All 'leadership' at Whole Foods go through a two-hour training program in organic certification standards and must past a quiz.

Alex Levine

I think the project was not as much of his talent as Terry came from an environment in Omaha where survival was probably as important as going to school and academics. He sat out basically because he did not meet all the NCAA standards Terry really has changed a lot. He has done better but he has a way to go.

Dave Gottsleben

This is a watchdog that has neither bark nor bite. The Corrections Standards Authority is blind, muzzled and toothless.

Sara Norman

Jennifer Emerson

We're finding that students are able to meet many state standards, curriculum standards and our school standards with this project.

Charlotte Strutzel

Banks that intend to go public, they all have good results under international standards, they are very attractive for investors in my view.

I believe and support the more vigorous standards, I think it's a good idea to challenge students to achieve more and place higher expectations on them so they get the best education possible.

Jeffrey Immelt

The state did some re-leveling of standards so it was hard for us to know how we did compared to last year. That's the frustrating part. Instead we must compare how we did against the state; from that angle we are very pleased.

Karen Hart

Once we thought, journalists and readers alike, that if we put together enough "facts" and gave them a fast stir, we would come up with something that, at least by the standards of short-order cooks, could be called the truth.

Melvin Maddocks

We play hardball with people who don't respect [the standards]. We impose an awful lot of discipline to ensure that they do not muck around or do anything that undermines the global service.

Colum Joyce

It needs to be addressed. It was an oversight and is correctable. It's not about how proficient our students are, it's what students know in relation to the standards. The test scores are a single snapshot on a single day of testing.

Richard Holmes

LignUp is one of the players in an industry value chain that increasingly differs from the vertically integrated telecom model of the last century. By exhibiting a focus on a networking industry model, open interfaces, open standards, and an innovative Web services based architecture, LignUp has joined a circle of companies that represent the future of IP communications.

Jeff Pulver

Alma Garcia

We know over the next few days people will criticize us and rightly so because our performances haven't been up to our standards. There will be a lot of disappointment for the next few days but we are training on Friday and Saturday mornings and Sunday's game is a great chance to put it right because the fans will want us to put a show on for them.

Gary Neville

We have thoroughly researched the market to pinpoint the kinds of services UAE consumers want and to ensure the products and services we provide are up to the highest world standards.

Bin Byat

Historically, the federal government has required mattress manufacturers to self-declare compliance to these local standards. Bourdon's is the first manufacturer to seek and receive third-party certification for its products for these three requirements.

These are staggering numbers, even by Washington standards. The big firms do very, very well, but they don't come close to these kinds of numbers.

Stanley Brand

People often say, 'We'd like to do something in The New Yorker that's never been done before,' but we have high standards. There are some ads we don't accept if they break the format of the magazine.

David Carey

The mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best.

Hamilton Wright Mabie

If they are determined to live in those areas, we ask that they build in consideration of what the standards should be. Look at how many homes in wildfire-prone areas have wooden siding? Let's just use some common sense.

Wendy Rose

We've got a great economy by world standards, but we are becoming less competitive by the day because of the cost of living. That's perhaps the single greatest threat to our economy.

I couldn't sleep that night. Going 1-for-12 and putting so much into it as far as working on your shot, coming out with that performance, even though we got the win, you have certain standards for yourself.

Dion Harris

I want consistency among similar programs, ... If we have four IB programs, they should have all the same requirements. We're going to keep our standards high. We're going to try to increase access.

Art Johnson

The United Nations is an uplifting experiment, dedicated to raising the standards of living in Africa, the consciences of democracies, and the price of prostitutes in New York.

Sam Marchio

He has to set standards. There are ways to act when things don't go well.

Arthur Blank

Some of our standards are higher than the U.S.

Satish Kumar

As much as possible, we'd like to draw on open standards. The intent isn't for OTI to be a standards body. We'll take what's been defined.

John Leddy

I think it would be a mistake to think teachers were bad teachers before accountability and now they're good. It's that before, we were making our own standards. Now, we've got a commonality.

Karen Ernst

Nokia has based its product strategy on a few product platforms that have been adapted to all digital standards, ... an intelligently conceived market segmentation plan that looked to consumer desire for inspiration, not simply engineering ability.

Peter Richardson

This is a very serious incident and we will have to investigate it fully and decide what to do based on what the investigation turns up but we are treating it very, very seriously because it's an obvious violation of professional and ethical standards.

James Ginn

At some point, something will win. When you have two standards, there's always going to be a problem. One of the positives is consumers will have more say than they even know.

We have created a blue chip market for blue chip companies. Nasdaq is raising its financial listing standards above that of any other market globally to attract and retain companies that want to trade on the market with the highest listing standards.

Bob Greifeld

Jay Vroom

We want to maintain above community standards.

Terry Saeger

We hold ourselves up to the same Electronics Industry Code of Conduct standards as we expect from our suppliers.

Tod Arbogast

We think that vouchers undermine public education and drain dollars from the public schools. They also create double standards of accountability. Public schools are accountable to the public. Private schools are not.

Mark Egan

The talk of standards about the Internet among companies has been constant. Take XML; the chemical industry alone came up with three standards. I believe standards are for real when they are finally executed, implemented and accepted.

Navin Nagiah

The public sector should set and enforce the homeland security standards that the private sector must meet.

Jack Gerard

If a solution isn't enduring, it's not really a solution. In process automation, we need enduring systems and solutions that become standards in their own right.

Charles Territo

Our goal was a Bible curriculum that respects the religious views of parents and students, is of high academic quality, and meets court-defined standards.

Sheila Weber

The content isn't the focus. There's so much information available out there right now. It's become a minimum standards. The focus still must be looking at the transaction. That's where the profit lies.

Adam Weiner

The standards we've set allow (Durant) and big-time recruits to want to be a part of the tradition. We're definitely a program on the rise.

Daniel Gibson

I try to please people, to give them a good time, but I refuse to make my act conform to traditional show-biz standards of entertainment. There's a little voice that says, 'Oh, no, you can't do that, that's breaking all the rules.' That's the voice of show business. Then this other little voice says, 'Try it.' And most of the time, when the voice comes on and says, 'No,' that's the time it works.

Andy Kaufman

Keep up the old standards, and day by day raise them higher.

John Wanamaker

I'd fight tooth and nail to protect our high academic standards and to ensure sound science is protected in our classrooms.
