Demand for these rebates clearly shows the public is interested in vehicles that achieve higher fuel efficiency standards and employ alternative fuel technologies.

Kathleen Mcginty

This is a turning point for High Point University, ... Mr. Wilson's gift will enable us to fulfill many dreams and heighten our standards to new levels of excellence.

Nido Qubein

With the intrusion, and maybe rightly so, of legal concerns, medical concerns, business concerns, maybe some of that might be changing sports journalism a little bit - and maybe should change. The sports reporters of today - the good ones, anyway, working for good news organizations - shouldn't be held to any less stringent professional and ethical standards than any other journalist.

Tim Wulfemeyer

There are a whole ... extensive array of standards the vessels have to meet in order to operate them.

John Dwyer

Consumers buy the user experience at a certain price point. They do not buy specifications, they do not buy standards and they don't buy technologies. What we are offering is essentially a very pro consumer experience.

Martin Rofheart

When the cost curve comes down and the standards stabilize, the third generation of DVD-RAM is probably going to become dominant.

John Mason Brown

Working with a major promoter on a new venue is a lot of work. You have to convince them you have a venue that could handle these folks and meet their standards.

Sally Hamana

In the 'Nike Economy,' there are no standards, no borders and no rules. Clearly, the global economy isn't working for workers in China and Indonesia and Burma any more than it is for workers here in the United States.

John J. Sweeney

Our actions today demonstrate our commitment to high safety standards. New England is facing a winter of very high natural gas prices. The region sorely needs additional gas supplies and a stronger gas infrastructure.

Joseph Kelliher

We were in a kind of turbulent time when he came here. Tony set standards for controlling the ball, for what we needed to do on offense and defense, and how we should play every game.

Jeff Saturday

Effective policing relies on the police having the confidence of the communities they serve, and this consultation gives the public an opportunity to contribute to the values and standards they expect of police officers.

Hazel Blears

We're moving toward a standards-based instruction system, the idea being that the state has established instructional standards, and we need to make sure kids are competent in those standards.

Superintendent Michael Wasta

Since the provisions of Medicare Part D became effective on January 1, 2006, a number of questions have arisen regarding the proper accounting for these transactions. Through this proposed Technical Bulletin, we are providing guidance on how best to apply existing accounting standards and to report these new federal payments in state and local government financial statements.

Karl Johnson

I hope we are improving by our standards. Whether we are improving by your standards or American standards is a different question. Our responsibility is to Singaporeans, and what we do here should meet their approval. There are no universal prescriptions.

George Yeo

At some campuses, I know girls who can't go out a lot, or go out late, and feel safe. It think it's completely unfair and we hold women to a different set of standards.

Ryan Tritch

Right off the bat, standards were raised. Before, we thought we were doing a pretty good safety job, [but] in reality we had picked low hanging fruit. Higher standards meant walking a steeper grade to bigger expectations.

Kevin Connors

I think it is fair to say that by any standards we had an excellent start to fiscal '06.

William Holland

By all scientific medical standards, I shouldn't be here.

Denver Haslam

These standards, when achieved, will contribute towards the development and progress of the Kingdom and its human capital, which is the main asset of this nation.

Shaikh Ahmed

I don't think this is a big problem in the NHL. But I think it's good to have this. You need to have some integrity in the sport and to have some standards. The best way to do that is have testing.

Jacques Martin

It just amazes me that AOL can be so intransigent. AOL Instant Messenger is the industry standard. It's used by millions of people.... It would be in their best interest to see that everyone else adopts their instant messaging standards. All they're doing by blocking traffic is encouraging people to have their own instant messaging clients.

David Strom

The clear opportunity in doing something like The Lord of the Rings is that we can attract first-time concertgoers to Severance Hall. There are other ways to attract new audiences, and some used by other orchestras that don't, in my opinion, meet the standards of the Cleveland Orchestra, but Howard Shore's artistry and his music certainly meets our standards.

Gary Hanson

I think that failure by your own standards is certainly a form of success.

Bonnie Hunt

What a tremendous compliment it is to be named captain not once but twice by your teammates, ... It's now my job to uphold the high standards set by the coaching staff and the other captains that played here before me.

Anthony Jordan

By the end of the year, manufacturers will launch dual-format players and holdout studios will announce support for both standards.

Chris Crotty

We not only meet, but exceed the standards. It's not a problem for us. We're really confident that we will more than meet the minimum requirements.

Karen Huxtable

The level of mercury has met the national standards in the river after increased efforts but cadmium has become another hazard.

Jiang Yimin

This is a unique program that rewards farmers and ranchers who are model conservationists and provides incentives for other producers to meet those same high standards of environmental performance.

Dave White

Get to know two things about a man. How he earns his money and how he spends it. You will then have the clue to his character. You will have a searchlight that shows up the inmost recesses of his soul. You know all you need to know about his standards, his motives, his driving desires, his real religion.

Robert J. Mccracken

But looser underwriting standards and the more widespread penetration of riskier mortgage products have raised questions about how these loans will fare in the event of a rise in interest rates or a softening in house prices.

John Dugan

Operating a place open to the public is not as straightforward as it was when we got started in the 1930s, when you could acquire an empty building, stick a few beds in and that was the end of it. Today, society expects higher standards of us.

Roger Clarke

Yes, we do have standards for all the equipment used at the screener checkpoints, ... And they're recalibrated if they are moved. They're checked on a regular basis.

Paul Takemoto

Automakers need a consistent national policy for fuel economy, and national fuel economy standards cannot be written by any single state or group of states.

Gloria Bergquist

There is going to be a chain reaction as a result of this. The decision happened very fast in the end. They are almost there (as far as accounting standards go) and they are determined to get there.

David Tweedie

What we're looking for is a sense of uniformity. It would be clearer and less confusing to be operating under similar standards.

George Ellis

Over a sustained period of time Michael hasn't achieved those standards and therefore his option now is to show us that he's committed to this team and its vision by doing that through Claremont Football Club because he hasn't been able to do that at this football club.

John Worsfold

For far too many people, 19th century working and living standards will continue unchanged into the 21st century.

Bill Jordan

It is absolutely appropriate to receive financial support from those who expect us to meet their needs if we hold to high standards of academic rigor, freedom and responsibility. But this does not mean any party ... can buy the results they want, whether it is the content of our courses, the findings of our research or the education and outreach we deliver.

Hal Salwasser

There has got to be a complete overhaul of the standards system.

Tommy Sheridan

As the standards are provided and then adopted, the Linux desktop will snowball. Microsoft can compete with a Sun, a Red Hat or a Novell, but they won't be able to compete with an ecosystem of Linux desktops.

Jim Zemlin

The Russians aren't waiting for standards. They have decided to move forward. We have declined to participate (in the drilling). We don't feel it's ready.

Scott Borg

It's a sign that something is wrong. It's a reason for people to ask questions whether their state standards are rigorous enough.

Kati Haycock

We would like to set a standard for our building process, which would be higher than we've ever done before. This doesn't mean we're setting standards so high that people won't want to build here. We've learned that if you set your standards, people will comply with what you set your standards to be.

Barbara Nalley

We intentionally decided not to pursue this within a standards group first because we wanted to make some quick progress.

Tom Bishop

A lot was achieved, including the finalization of a protocol setting out global standards for the provision and hygiene of public toilets.

Raymond Martin

We believe we have the tools in place to stay on top these metrics going forward. We are starting the next phase of our service and quality initiative, which is focused on delivering faster project completion rates while maintaining our high quality standards.

Andy Ellis

There are no standards for what is a background check. This is an industry that has delivered historically a very low quality product.

Tal Moise

I oppose anything in the way of development that defers from the zoning bylaw of Bayfield. The developers need to meet our existing standards.

David Johnston

As a former federal prosecutor, David has the skills and experience necessary to root out corruption and help us maintain the highest ethical standards in city government.

Richard M. Daley

I find it embarrassing to try and sell stuff, ... and I think I'm quite outgoing by contractor standards.

Robert Wallace

It's possible the money boys and fancy lobbyists will win, but it's also possible we'll win. This will establish the precedent that we're really all in this together and if you're going to do business in New York, you have to meet our basic standards.

Dan Cantor

It has no enforceable standards to stop a union from conspiring with employers to keep another stronger union out or from negotiating contracts with lower pay and standards that members of another union have spent a lifetime establishing.

Andrew Stern

Having a file compression format and MP3 players aren't enough. The catalyst for online music distribution will be products that offer security for digital content and standards around which consumer electronics companies and others can build products.

David Card

One thing that impressed me is his dad (Rob) will tell him after the game how bad he was or be totally honest with him. The standards at his house are pretty high. We have a lot of that with tough parents who set the standards high and that's why the program is successful.

Roy Richards

Be the most lax standards for a repository in the world.

Arjun Makhijani

Just because I have my standards, they think I'm a bitch.

Diana Ross

This inaugural really had different standards. We refrained from aggressive fund-raising. Nine of the 10 events were free.

Richard Mcgrath

The big rise in future living standards is clearly linked to tax cuts.

Stephane Deo

Web standards keep you out of the dustbin of history.

Josh Greenberg

Synchronized swimming has changed a lot since Esther Williams. It's faster and stronger and much more athletic. The standards are so much higher.

Alicia Rice

In order to qualify for Vision Iowa grants, businesses will have to pay $20.32 an hour in Plymouth County. That's the only downside to it. We have pushed wage standards up in the county.

Gary Tucker

We need to upgrade Wyoming's academic standards and reputation. The Hathaway scholarship has put us on a road to be the best and the first in education.

Jim Mcbride

They hold each other to extremely high standards. Jack, being the youngest, probably has to live up to the highest standards. The twins have set a standard and Jack wants to lay his own. He wants to go above and beyond what the twins have accomplished.

Josh Blaisdell

We are extremely proud of the laboratory's accreditation, especially the fact that the nine inspectors found zero deficiencies. Accreditation by CAP means that our laboratory staff is recognized nationally for providing the highest standards of care for the patients and healthcare professionals we serve.

Wayne Foster

We're trying to use globalization to raise working standards. Global companies have global responsibilities.

Stephen Lerner

The EU Observation Mission regrets (that the election process) did not live up to international standards and to the aspirations of Ethiopians for democracy.

Ana Gomes

This is just one example of the litany of double standards this budget reflects. We also find it disappointing that, while the Education Roundtable is being made permanent, CUPE - which represents 25,000 employees in the K-12 sector - is still not being invited to participate.

Barry O'neill

Right now, the way the standards are set, they're very loose. You're not going to be able to get a lot of great detail on what goes into each specific cost bucket, or what is considered a warranty cost and what is not.

Tom Washburn

Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.

C. Wright Mills

By any standards, this is an attractive market.

Rick Kirkland

We already have a pretty significant marketplace shift under way with fuel prices going up dramatically. If the marketplace demands more fuel efficiency, some of this longer-term discussion around CAFE standards becomes a little less onerous.

Christopher Preuss

Novell is a strong proponent of open standards and open source. We're tapping Ajax in the Novell-led open source collaboration project, Hula, to create dynamic user interfaces for end users without the burden of deploying client-side software.

Jeff Jaffe

We're pleased with the progress we've made. We've done some good work. The standards were implemented and demonstrated by multiple joint service parties, so we don't have a unique solution that only vendor 'A' will be able to use.

Cheron Taylor

The one lesson we can learn from Europe wireless is having one GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) standard. Can we as an industry compete -- but also work towards -- a standards solution will be a major question.

Paul Chellgren

We do destroy the data on any computer we refurbish to Department of Defense standards.

Christine Banks

I don't know what standards and what ramifications he's being judged by. All I can say is nothing of good things about him and I enjoyed being around him for the last couple of years.

Stan Gaines

All this is confirmation we will see breakthroughs without compromising ethical standards. We're not going to have to go that way if we can just be patient and fund the basic science.

Tom Coburn

This program is designed to specifically ensure the highest standard of care for our patients. We are proud to continue to uphold our standards of excellence in laboratory quality assurance. We partner with CAP to advocate for high-quality medical care.

Barry Jones

Once we adopted a framework for developing policies, standards and procedures, we made really good progress. The documentation process really started to fall into place.

Ron Duchesneau

It's a very generous award by New Hampshire standards.

Bill Chapman

But we expressed our concerns, because he brought it up, that he's allowing people to camp on the island, and he's built a makeshift bridge with no engineering standards to get to that island. He volunteered that information and we certainly asked staff to follow up on that, because it seems like he's putting people in harm's way by allowing them to camp there at night.

Karen Wagner

The standards we've set allows guys like Kevin to know we're a program on the rise. We had one of the best seasons in Texas basketball history, and we want to carry on the legacy.

Daniel Gibson

Based on our study, I feel that more research is urgently needed to establish whether the standards need to be re-evaluated.

Nina Holland

He was not particularly reactionary; he didn't stand in the schoolhouse doors, forbid entry or anything. But if the world had run by his standards, there would not have been integration.

John Sanders

All of us at Empire Golf are very excited about both the challenges and opportunities that Cherry Island represents. We are convinced that our plan to implement new maintenance standards and practices will significantly improve the playing conditions at Cherry Island.

Rod Metzler

The county had a five-year parking variance to construct the garage. The county made a commitment to abide by the standards. At what point does the county live up to its obligation? We hear all these rampant rumors. All we want is a commitment.

Bob Hadfield

They're using IFX to reengineer their branch delivery systems. Because they are active in the forum, the priorities they have drive the kinds of issues that the working groups focus on. So, they are in effect getting people focused on these standards issues as well as creating the standards themselves.

Robert Usner

Ultimately, we believe one standard is far preferable to multiple standards. Consumers will delay their purchase if there's confusion, and that results in a market stagnation for everyone.

Jim Babb

Economic growth is the key to living standards and improving quality of life and I feel that to neglect economic growth is to create more inequalities between Scotland and elsewhere.

Jim Mather

I thought Shannon had a decent day by her standards. She had a tough time with her putts, but for her to score a 74 when she is struggling on the greens is pretty good.

Clint Wallman

The creation of the special committee reflects the serious commitment by all of our trustees to ensure that the J. Paul Getty Trust, its board and each of its members and employees meets all legal requirements as well as the highest ethical standards while carrying out the trust's mission.

John Biggs

Physicians must be free to make clinical determinations, in accordance with medical standards of care, that best safeguard a woman's life and health. Women and their families, along with their doctors, are simply better than politicians at making decisions about their medical care.

Maria Cantwell

Our standards have been on the cutting edge of service for two decades, ... With the JCAHO Gold Seal of Approval, our clients and employees are assured of our ongoing commitment to excellence.

Mary Richardson

In IBM's case, they repackaged their enterprise messaging capabilities together with some business process capabilities and standards-based interfaces and made it lightweight to craft their entry-level ESB.

Ronald Schmelzer

For consumers (with a single router and wireless card) it is not a big issue, but the enterprise will wait for standards. Most enterprise customers wouldn't deploy an IEEE 802.11n product until it is ratified or very stable.

Bob Wheeler

We must fight to regain a place in our cities because by any standards I understand they will be better run if we do.

Michael Heseltine

To raise living standards and resolve problems, we need a better economic foundation. We need to make our economy a bigger cake.

Ma Kai

My job here is to open the gateway, I guess, for more competition to come in [on the PGA Tour], ... My standards are what's been set for these new guys to come in.

K.j. Choi

The Forum for Corporate Directors was founded in 1991 specifically to promote the highest standards of corporate ethics and best governance practices for board of directors of both public and privately held corporations and institutions, and this annual dinner program was created in the early 1990s to honor the best of the best among Orange County's outstanding community of corporate directors.

Peter Craig

This year, we will continue to work with students that don't read and don't meet the literacy standards for their grade levels. We will try to create a more structured program for English learners.

Sue Olds

We're not saying let's make everything easier. There will be the need for a new test because of the new standards, but they have not been reduced in difficulty.

Greg Knudsen

I'm going to introduce a bill which leaves the cap at 10 percent unless the district fails to meet the standards for the No Child Left Behind law.

Brett Davis

Without i.Shop this level of integration would not have been practical. Both R.O. Writer and Delphi have embraced these standards that allow sharing of customer, shop and vehicle information between front and back shop applications. When we first implemented the i.Shop standards, this is the level of integration and efficiency we had envisioned being possible.

Ben Johnson

All the arguments inserted in the standards are only found in the literature of intelligent design. Teaching the criticisms is teaching ID.

Jack Krebs

This is a huge problem. Builders are either being incompetent or ignoring the law of the land. Yet there has not been one prosecution for failing to build to environmental standards.

Andrew Warren

If it includes threats to the life or physical integrity of individuals taking no active part in hostilities, or the taking of hostages, such action would be a grave violation of international human rights standards.

Brian Martin

While I am certainly disappointed to be losing Greg, I think his departure is indicative of the high standards we have set in Fresno in so much as our employees are sought after by other organizations. I've already begun the process of finding the ideal candidate to replace Greg, and the rest of our staff is on track and well into preparations for our home opening games next weekend.

Charles Davenport

Our goal is to see a nice development to give you a gateway entry into your community in the south and the west that is in keeping with your high standards.

Charles Buck

Public education is under great pressure these days to meet standards and mandated expenses that unfortunately fall on the backs of local property owners. School systems need help from commercial development. My goal is to assist the schools any way we can while keeping our residents in Putnam County.

Kevin Bailey

We file our state tax returns appropriately and in accordance with tax-planning strategies that are based on commonly used and accepted standards.

Claire Hassett

But as a practical matter, retailers are interested in applying the standards nationally.

Charles Margulis

I commend him [Professor Schmitz] for his effort. We cannot define science in a way that includes supernatural explanations, and that's what these science standards do.

Sue Gamble

Do we have two standards of military justice? ... One for those with children and one without?

Chris Graveline

We've stressed to the staff that it's your responsibility to maintain good sanitation standards.

Tom Campbell

The problem with security standards is that there are so many of them.

Joe Duffy

Going forward our customers can feel confident knowing Federal Network Services will continue to deliver industry-leading support and maintain the rigorous Cisco standards for network expertise and support capabilities.

Doug Chesler

We recognize that the waits could be longer in the office. Obviously, we still have standards that we have to meet to get benefits to the clients, and yes, we are still adhering to that.

Jennifer Harris

SOA Software is a leader in standards-based SOA Management. This partnership provides our customers with a complete, high-performance, scalable solution for all their Web services security and management needs.

Walid Negm

The most shocking thing about this is the reforms we were looking for were so modest. They were nothing more than bringing cell phone companies in line with the standards that consumers expect in their other commercial interactions.

Joe Ridout

We have been and fully intend to continue addressing the issues Mr. Bostic has raised. We will continue to focus on creating value for shareholders by delivering high quality education to our students while adhering to the industry's highest standards of integrity and business practices.

John Larson

His mission is to establish whether the facilities meet CAF standards.

Aldrine Nsubuga

The U.S. case is more important because of the economic implications. It (the U.K. ruling) is a nice psychological boost but you can't extrapolate the U.S. ruling from this because of the different legal standards.

Catherine Arnold

By focusing on this subgenre of rare books, we are developing best standards and models for digitizing other kinds of rare books.

Mara Wade

North Dakota teachers have got the elementary degree; they've met all the standards. It shows in the performance of the students.

Karen Christensen

She exercised her discretion reasonably in determining whether or not those explanations complied with the acceptable standards. The secretary of state took enormous care to make sure she did not violate the order.

Joe Klock

Standards need to be applied across the board. There was an outcry when a former government employee was seen as benefiting from a huge empowerment deal in a sector he had an oversight of. When the private sector does a similar thing people need to voice their objections.

Lumkile Mondi

We're living in a political climate where governments and the media in the West feel they can get away with something like this. There are double-standards here. I think you need to appreciate the Muslims take their religion very seriously.

Anjem Choudary

We expect the local authority to supervise and give technical advice to the beneficiaries to ensure that standards are maintained and, thus, not derail the initial intentions of Operation Restore Order through ensuring that safe, neat and durable houses are built.

Cde Karimanzira

The expectations are very high. The standards were set long before I was born.

Jeff Olson

The $2.0 million less the cost of the studies might leave $1.5, $1.3 million. You might get the ramps for that, but if you get into reconstruction of that bridge and the approaches to bring them to standards for the next 30 to 40 years, that would could easily double the cost of construction.

Tom Beekman

Those standards have not yet been codified. As a result, ports are doing stopgap methods.

Aaron Ellis

Kerry brings broad international experience and high performance standards from one of the most respected companies in the world.

Robert Walter

Fighting America's oil addiction with these standards is like fighting lung cancer by smoking 49 cigarettes a day instead of 50.

Don Mackenzie

If you think about the direction that safety and environmental standards are going in India, you can't sell a car for that kind of price.

Osamu Suzuki

I find out what the standards are and do my best to comply with them.

Kevin Keller

People think we have an awful lot of standards. That's a mere drop in the bucket compared to the number of contaminants that could enter the water supply.

Patrick Rogers

The need for standards is paramount.

Dan Walsh

We have grandparents, live-in lovers, step-parents, persons that are not even biologically related to children that are raising them. We need to have some understandings as to what standards we are going to use to determine which rights they have.

John Mayoue

If these standards are tightened, there will be more cities around the country that will be using this more expensive reformulated gasoline. Also, it may require the reformulation of diesel also.

Paul Bailey

As I have previously indicated, I accept complete responsibility for those specific actions that did not exemplify the highest standards of judicial excellence.

Kevin Ross

Oklahoma played excellent. We played pretty good. We've got to raise our standards a little bit.

Gary Blair

If Apple opened up their standards, they would sell more, not less.

Hilary Rosen

As an investor, I would love to see them increase the scale of this business. They've got the breadth and depth of management to run a bigger enterprise. The challenge is finding a market that meets their standards.

Peter Appert

The nicest thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.

Ken Olsen

Just like we need standards in software and hardware, we need standards in power utilization and power savings.

Ben Williams

We are still working on this. There are different views on this, with three to four of the standards affected.

David Tweedie

All constituents benefit from high-quality standards; however, greater consistency and reduced complexity fosters greater transparency and usefulness for investors. This standard embodies those characteristics.

Pat Donahue

The problem is that, first of all, the investigations, and detentions, and arrests were conducted with massive violations of procedural rules of international standards. And, the second is that the government does its best to avoid investigations [and findings] of guilt of servicemen [local police and troops] who participated in the massacre.

Alexander Petrov

I think the dam is still in good condition. But I know standards have changed in the last 75 years.

Guy Mcbride

A&E departments now have to go the extra mile if they are to deliver the care that patients need and that means focusing on quality as well as waiting. This report suggests serious variations in the quality of care. Monitoring standards of quality must become a core part of the day-to-day management of these units.

Anna Walker

The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.

Andrew S. Tanenbaum

Prices have been going down since last weekend and seem to have settled in at a pretty comfortable level. They're a real bargain by Final Four standards.

Sean Pate

The federal standards are simply not good enough. If we can't get the federal government to act, then we have to take action in any way we can.

Gina Mccarthy

I really wanted her to succeed. She had such high standards for herself and (her son).

Debi Bell

If you look at the obligations of the health professions and doctors in particular, UN standards, World Medical Association standards, AMA standards, the responsibility of the physician in war or peace is to improve peoples' health and not to inflict pain or harm.

Leonard Rubenstein

Midwifery is an accepted practice in Wisconsin, and the governor thinks it's certainly a good idea that there be basic standards in place to protect the lives of children and expecting mothers.

Dan Leistikow

It's good to see the increase, but more needs to be done. The diminution of workers' rights, and the decline of their wage and living standards, has great consequences for everyone.

Larry Dorman

We demonstrated the exchange of clinical information, by using a critical set of common, open technical standards.

Clay Shirky

We provide support at the highest level I've ever been associated with. The NCAA is reminding everyone that these standards aren't going away.

Jeff Hathaway

We have some (breathing) units, but the government is always updating its standards. These are to keep up with the standards. There are a lot of things the old ones didn't have, and the big thing is that communication device.

Barb Fox

My phone certainly is ringing much more often these days with companies calling about corporate responsibility. Companies are very eager for an institution to certify compliance with the standards of corporate responsibility.

Juan Somavia

For example, the Chevrolet Yukon SUV weighs 6,000 pounds, ... [The government's fuel efficiency] standards expect a car of that weight to get about 12 miles to the gallon, but the Yukon gets an estimated 20. Because it exceeds those expectations, it qualifies for a tax credit.

Jim Kliesch

Will take a look at what they do propose. The main thing we're looking for is, if they are continuing to operate, it must be in a way that does not violate air-quality standards.

Bill Hayden

If the president is serious about ending our oil addiction, he needs to commit to accelerating the solutions available today, like stronger fuel-economy performance standards for all vehicles, hybrid vehicles and clean-burning fuels made from plants grown by American farmers.

Roland Hwang

We looked quite solid as a back four and a goalkeeper. But we need to raise our standards quite a bit.

Alan Kernaghan

That's not the point. We want to protect our guys. This is all about our guys, and our moral standards and our moral standards in the world.

John Murtha

We estimate about 30 percent of owners do not comply with safety standards.

Tipu Munshi

Some standards that are specific to the Internet need to be put in place for cases like this. An organization that's based on the Internet and understands the properties of the Web... should be the one to set the standards for major Web-based organizations (such as Yahoo!) to follow.

Rob Lancaster

But sadly, the grim realities of life have started intruding into the fun and games - as is true in other areas, for example, the entertainment business, music, art, TV programming, movies. It's the same kind of issue for reporters in those areas. Entertainment reporters operated with some different standards as well up until fairly recently.

Tim Wulfemeyer

This lawsuit is not an issue regarding safety. This is a technical issue. ... We already have the most stringent safety standards in the nation.

Teresa Thorne

Credit quality is a big issue -- safety and standards.

Greg Dixson

[The scores show] fewer students have serious academic problems, ... More are achieving all the standards.

Richard Mills

Today, the FDA sent a clear message that all candies sold in the United States, regardless of their country of origin, must meet the same stringent safety standards.

Larry Graham

We are continuing to set the standards in integrating the features and functionality from consumer market products into vehicle radios. Our extensive history of producing mobile electronics allows us to integrate these functions while maintaining the tremendous quality and reliability standards that are demanded by car buyers.

Ken Erickson

Those are things that are fueling this talk of pure politics, ... They've certainly sown the seeds of broad-based challenges to elections.... It could provoke legislatures to have uniform standards, and that could be a good thing.

Mary Cheh

The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without. Inevitably anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes authority or established conventions': a rebel. If enough people come to agree with, and follow, the Rebel, we now have a Devil. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have --- Greatness.

Aleister Crowley

Water quality standards go up every two years, ... More than anything, fresh water is the key.

John Stockton

The convergence of standards will happen regardless of the formation of the alliance. But it does show that standards are converging and that their rate of acceptance is increasing.

John Blanchard

DP World has been an industry leader with regard to security and works closely with us on an ongoing basis to maintain the highest security standards in all its terminals around the world.

Idan Ofer

What we're looking for is to have small businesses apply standards that are reasonable in light of the information that they're storing. There's no business around that would leave a stack of money on a table, for people to just walk in and take. What we're really saying is that information about consumers, about your customers, is the new currency.

Lydia Parnes

Sponsors are recognized as service industry leaders and will have the opportunity to drive new standards in world class service delivery.

Greg Coleman

I will fight tooth and nail to protect California's high academic standards.

Jack O'connell

Manufacturers were reluctant to build products without knowing what the standards and timeline would be.

Tom Simmons

Even they have their standards.

Link Olson

Iran's defiance of the international ban on executing child offenders is a growing concern and calls into question its willingness to abide by international human rights standards.

Kate Allen

What we're trying to do is make sense of this rash of standards. We're constantly being audited from all sides. We do our best to set priorities. The message, though, is that ROI has nothing to do with perceived value of assets. It's about protecting assets and maintaining consumer confidence.
