Jeff Baker
Carbon brakes offer the same stopping performance as steel brakes but with the added benefit of a significant weight savings, which ultimately increases fuel efficiency. Next-Generation 737s are already lighter than competing Airbus models. This structural efficiency is a fundamental reason why Next-Generation 737s fly farther, higher and with better fuel efficiency than the competition.
Mike Delaney
Structural engineers investigating this morning's incident have confirmed that this is an isolated situation that has not occurred anywhere else on site.
Martin Tidd

David Woolner
Although we believe GM can reduce capacity and structural costs over the long term, the company will emerge from restructuring with lower earnings power and operating leverage. With a lower dividend, the costs of investing in this longer-term restructuring story have increased dramatically.
Jon Rogers
We also judge that the dollar is vulnerable from a structural perspective. External imbalances in the U.S. are not a key market focus at the moment, but this could change on signs of weakening flow support.
Jens Nordvig

John Llewellyn
The Chinese economy is deteriorating in the structural and cyclical sense, and the U.S. is a big risk if it has a hard landing. Remember [the rest of] Asia exports twice as much to the U.S. as it does to Japan.
Robert Subbaraman
Legislative leaders are passing up a chance to reduce New York State's excessive debt burden - already one of the highest in the nation - and to achieve structural balance between revenues and spending.
Diana Fortuna
The latest data showing that land prices in Tokyo rose for the first time in 15 years has renewed confidence about Japan getting out of a soft patch. There are structural changes to draw in more money.
Hiroichi Nishi
Lifestyle remodels have clearly provided a short-term boost for Safeway shares. But we firmly believe that pricing is a much more relevant structural issue in the grocery industry. Safeway must permanently lower its pricing.
Jason Whitmer

Anita Steeves
It's suggesting this structural change playing out in the U.S. economy seems to still be continuing.
Paul Ferley
It was fast - it happened in a matter of hours. But it probably was a gradual degradation of your structural system. You started increasing the pressure. For a concrete all, it could be cracks growing, water finding its way through crack. That increases rate of growth of the cracks. Add that to your possible sheet piling failure. It just keeps progressing through the structure.
Guillermo Ramirez
The third floor is a total loss. We're worried about the structural integrity.
Don Arnold
Based on the reports I received, the fire appears to be cosmetic and superficial. There was no structural damage to the building and there was no damage to the operating equipment in the warehouse.
Steve Tyndal

Luz Lorenzo
It's a technical, structural disaster. This is long overdue.
Phil Barbarello
It's wrong to assume that the dollar will start to fall as the Fed stops raising rates. What we could see is a transition to a structural support for the dollar as the trade position improves.
Steve Pearson
We remain concerned about the company's long-term outlook and management's preparedness to address the challenges. Still, built-in expectations or valuation appear to be low, and 2006 should benefit from the structural elimination of Brazil and a year of disappointing results in 2005.
Mark Swartzberg
We wanted to eliminate the risk of anything more coming out and getting in a mechanism somewhere. It was important to get this off as soon as we can just because we don't know the structural state of it.
Pete Hasbrook
But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that "something else" that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.
Fannie Hurst
We're limited to 35 people at the time for good reasons: the fire code and structural reasons. We know the community is anxious. We ourselves (the Livingston Arts Council members) are anxious.
Brent Earl
After Katrina, there were a bunch of refineries which didn't sustain structural damage but couldn't turn the power back on.
Sarah Emerson
India is a long-term structural growth story that cannot be ignored. There may be a few hiccups along the way, but it's an emerging market that's going to evolve into a mature market over time. That's the growth story that people can participate in by investing in India over the long term.
Sandeep Kothari

Homi Kharas
One wishes that he would say the problem is not simply a budgetary one. The problem is a structural one. The Republicans can properly fault the Clinton administration for giving so little attention to the restructuring of the post-Cold War force.
Andrew Bacevich
It may well be that things will die down now. But the structural dynamic still points toward civil war, and the institutions that could restrain it have become severely weakened.
Joost Hilterman
The Gore approach to budget surpluses is much more prudent; the Bush approach to structural reforms of the entitlement programs is more promising. They have set up a good dichotomy that people can look at.
Robert Bixby
That includes everything from building codes, to structural design issues and the less durable fireproofing materials currently specified for commercial steel structures.
Craig Scott
A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.
Edith Wharton

Leroy Radanovich
There are very important structural changes occurring that will set the stage for important improvements in the world economy. There's a great deal of optimism in the air and a great deal of opportunities.
David Hale
The transmission mechanism for inflation from political instability is usually through the exchange rate. However, this time around, the peso quickly recovered and I would expect it to remain strong for the rest of the year based on continuing structural economic reforms.
Luz Lorenzo
Europe's citizens do not seem convinced that the bitter medicine of continued structural reforms will cure the stasis that afflicts much of the Continent. It is a failure of politics that people have not come to see that the more they want to retain the attractive European way of life, the more the way they work will have to change.
Raghuram Rajan
The market is sensitive to structural factors at the moment and the current account deficit will be a negative in the medium-term for the dollar.
Kamal Sharma
The local power outages and structural damage can have a long-lasting effect, but it isn't wide-reaching.
Paul Walsh

Michael Grant
With the aircraft on jacks, small excitation forces will be applied to the airframe. Measurements of the structural response for a range of excitation frequencies will be made using accelerometers.
Mark Cousin
This is not trade based on comparative advantage. We are confronted with an economic crisis in the U.S. steel industry, stemming directly from the structural mismanagement by several governments of their economies. Neither the U.S. government, nor its steel industry, can afford to wait for the trade law process to take its course.
Keith Busse
The first conditions were economic, including the passage of structural reform policies that favored economic growth. We've also had low interest rates and low inflation, which is a big change from the past.
Javier Viveros
The market continues depressed with no positive news coming out from within Brazil nor outside. This financial help for Argentina bought them time, but the structural problems continue.
Luiz Marcos Prudencio

Johan Javeus
The structural story has changed.

Janet Mintzer
The structural damage is everywhere. And the winds are still strong.
Felix Gonzalez
Security's not just a day-to-day concern. In this case, it is a structural issue as well. The structure of the plant doesn't protect against this type of attack. If it was being built from scratch today, it could be designed to protect against one.
Richard Webster
We expect to see significant damage to residential and commercial properties near and to the east of Rita's track. Fortunately, the heavy commercial and industrial areas of Port Arthur and Beaumont — with their numerous refineries — were to the left of the storm's track, where wind speeds are lower, so we do not expect to see significant structural damage to the refineries.
Jayanta Guin
The commission's order, with respect to the level of our rates, is disappointing. We are satisfied that the commission approved such structural changes as the fuel clause, timely recovery of investments in pollution control equipment and realistic depreciation rates.
James Ludwig
It's unlikely that the next administration will stray far from pursuing structural reforms. Even if the Democratic Party of Japan takes power, they will continue to push for fiscal reform.
Takahide Kiuchi
We need to solve structural problems, such as agrarian reform and the structural problems of housing, employment, health, education and roads.
Raul Reyes
We have made excellent progress in the structural steel business since we began shipping wide-flange beams in 2002. Recent strength in non-residential construction has led to a record order backlog at Columbia City and has resulted in current production and shipping rates of nearly one million tons per year.
Keith Busse
Certainly [opposition candidate Edmund] Stoiber would have been better received by the market because of his plans for structural reform. The government has not got much of a majority so we can't expect much on reform going forward.
Gareth Evans
Firms with particular expertise in construction consulting, architecture, and civil and structural engineering, will be looking forward to the tender process.
Ntsekhe Moiloa
There are well-documented structural impediments to moving quickly in this industry.
Jon Rogers
Near term direction will be determined by flows from Mutual Funds and corporate results. I expect stock specific activity to continue. Use declines to buy this market as we are in a structural bull run.
Ashu Kakkar
The government is trying to proceed with structural reforms. The rating agencies have already reacted somewhat.
Nicolas Schlotthauer
What really has been the convincing point for the emergency response community and the civil and mechanical communities who focus on structural damage has been seeing the data; once you have seen the data it becomes very compelling.
Robin Murphy
Evidence is there that a structural, mechanical or electrical failure of some kind led to the explosion.
Lee Kreindler

Michel Bonnardeaux
As most of you know, Sony Music Entertainment is implementing a series of strategic, structural changes that are necessary to position the company for future growth.
Andrew Lack
There would have to be a structural shift in prices to change their perspective, ... Right now, there's a lot of speculation built into oil prices -- the majors will have to see that turn into fundamentals in order to change their plans.
Jeb Armstrong
There has been no deterioration. It doesn't affect the structural condition of the deck. It could use some maintenance, but structurally everything's still looking good.
Marc Grunert
Because of Katrina we will have a pause in September. The aftermath of shocks is still not appreciated and oil prices are still high. The effect is that with the background of structural problems and (losing cyclical support) the dollar is in a phase where it should weaken.
Adam Myers
The trade release has reminded the market of the structural weakness of the dollar.
Paul Mackel
I have been telling them to secure against non-structural damage ... This may not be necessary for the current quakes but is always a good idea.
Bill Phillips
The relatively high inventory levels are providing some cushion to the market, but of course demand is rising in the U.S.. We are in a more comfortable situation than a few months ago, but the structural problems this market has haven't gone away.
Francisco Blanch
Alongside a rejuvenated product range, structural improvements in marketing continue to bring positive effects.
Michael Kern
Today's trade figures are a stark reminder to the structural deficiencies of the U.S. economy and the reason for our negative dollar outlook for the year despite (its) recent bounce.
Ashraf Laidi
We would expect the seasonally adjusted total to decline in the coming months, but there is not likely to be any major turnaround because companies are still restructuring and the structural problems on the labor market are still there.
Juergen Michels
The dollar's cyclical factors are waning but they haven't banished totally. The market is keen on switching to structural dollar stress factors but it's too early -- we also had strong housing figures from the U.S. last week.
Armin Mekelburg
It's good news, even though the verdict has long been priced into market expectations. The prospect of a CDU-led majority in both chambers of parliament will greatly improve the outlook for further structural changes.
Bernd Karstedt
The club rooms at Mansfield Park are not looking the best at the moment. We are waiting on a structural engineer coming in, but all the functions from now until after Christmas have been cancelled.
Billy Murray
This is shedding like a cat, ... Right now, it's so fragile, it has no structural integrity.
David Hughes

Ted Duncan

Tatsuro Karitani
Since the beginning, we've been very fortunate. There have been no reports of injuries to any persons, and the only structural damage is one gazebo in one backyard of one property.
Jon Fleischman
The combined growth and external sector strengths allow Chinese policy makers to better address the country's structural economic challenges, and they have been taking the opportunity to do so.
James Mccormack
Once the jacking operation was complete, our structural engineers . . . came to the conclusion that it was simply not salvageable, and in the interest of safety, the best course of action would be to replace it.
Peter Graves
Up until last year's budget, when New Jersey started to reduce the structural gap between revenues and expenditures, the state used one-time actions on a consistent basis. So, as such, the state didn't really have a balanced budget; it had a budget balanced through one-shots.
Richard Marino
In the past, the governments that have taken power have found an economic situation that is so serious that it has required the adoption of significant adjustment measures, which have cost them all their political capital and they have not been able to meet the structural problems of the economy.
Trevor Alleyne
When faced with structural injustice, especially in the form of oppressive military occupations, I have a tendency get a little worked up. So I was interested in learning more about the complicated conflict and decided I would lend some of my time and energy to do so.
Adam Beach
If the next premier after reform-minded Koizumi raises concerns about slower progress in structural reforms or debates about the consumption tax, it would be negative for Japanese stocks.
Kazuhiro Takahashi
These (cross-border) deals are complicated because they have social issues, regulatory issues, political issues and structural issues.
Hamid Biglari
There was some minor damage. Some shutters and shingles were destroyed. But there was no structural damage or water damage. Thank God there was no water damage. We were just so grateful we actually had a home to go back to.
John Castle
We had two structural reports that said it was just not going to be economically reasonable to fix the building.
Dennis Fernandez
The heavy commercial and industrial areas of Port Arthur and Beaumont -- with their numerous refineries -- were to the left of the storm's track, where wind speeds are lower, so we do not expect to see significant structural damage to the refineries.
Jayanta Guin
We're still discussing the situation with the Sheraton. We're not convinced that the repairs took care of the structural problems. ...We want to make sure everyone is safe before we open that thing.
Charles Feldmann
The State of the Union address obviously provides him the chance to get the attention of the American public. But it is not going to undo the structural problem he faces. You have a situation in Iraq that is not going to get better in the short term. ... I see him not having a really big change in popularity.
John Geer
Our results suggest that meditation can produce experience-based structural alterations in the brain. We also found evidence that meditation may slow down the aging-related atrophy of certain areas of the brain.
Sara Lazar
The outlook statement talks of continued weakness in recruitment markets which management argue -- more persuasively than other peers -- is cyclical rather than structural given a softer public sector in late 2005.
Andrew Walsh
The financial problems of an institute the size of IMSS require structural change.
Roberto Vega
Just because a bridge has structural deficiencies doesn't mean it's unsafe. It merely means it's deteriorating.
Derrick Mason
The hurricane was the initial reason we came, but when we see calamities that have been in existence for years, we fix porches, floors as well as structural repair.
Hank Chardos
Funds with a short-term strategy are moving around. But the lack of visibility in the outlook for Japan's structural reforms and uncertainty over the U.S. economy, U.S. stocks and the attitude of investors there mean longer-term funds sit tight.
Nobuaki Kurisu
Medium- and long-term development prospects will depend on the securing of macroeconomic stability and the improvement in the Greek economy's structural competitiveness.
Nicholas Garganas
The new five-engine SSME cluster, mounted on a stage that will certainly be very different from the orbiter in its propellant feed and thrust-vector control characteristics and its structural, aerodynamic, and environmental behavior, will require considerable engineering attention.
Jerry Grey
With ongoing structural deficits for several years, there's no reason to believe the price [of aluminum] is going down anytime soon.
Victor Lazarovici
It gives the impression Koizumi wanted someone who has political clout and who can support his structural reforms. Merging or privatizing government-affiliated banks will be positive for commercial lenders and brokerages because it will mean more business for them.
Yoji Takeda
This is a material shortfall. It's a sign of some structural problems at Netscape.
David Readerman
We're in a period of denial about the extent to which racism still exists as a structural phenomenon. It was just so evident in this storm. Even in the language people used.
Thaddeus Mathis
The analysis we've done -- the rigorous structural analysis based on the last inspection report -- indicates that this bridge should not have fallen down on its own accord without something else happening to it.
Gary Hoffman
The Chinese economy faces four types of structural challenges ? over investment, too much dependence on external demand, inefficiency in resource use, and regional disparity and income inequality.
Yiping Huang
There is a structural problem in the rural economy and a structural problem in the urban economy, that's really the story, ... It's really coincidental that everything has gone bad at one time.
Chetan Ahya
In my view, at this point, it is probably more important to foster a structural reform of mindset.
Kuniko Inoguchi
They would have been impacted by the waves and rain but not by the blunt force. There will be parts of the Gulf where they will be up and running in 48 hours, but there will be other extremes of structural damage that may take weeks or months to repair.
Chris Mcgill
Turning around the severe structural problems of the Japanese economy will take a few years of sustained effort.
David Satterwhite
Although many polls show that U.S. consumers are intent on altering their behavior (i.e., driving less), we still have not seen significant structural shifts in behavior.
Edward Meir
The fact that you've gained no purchasing power in 11 years is discouraging and problematic for people in the bottom 20 percent. On the other hand, if you look at other states that have some of the similar structural characteristics of Connecticut, you see that their bottom 20 percent are worse off. Things are bad, but they could be worse.
Edward Deak
The real problem is structural: retail consolidation, difficulties in the classified auto space and competition from other media.
