There is also a plentiful and cheap supply of apples in the region, together with well-equipped facilities, thanks to EU capital allowances paid into eastern European economies.

Finlay Lockie

This is in keeping with our upstream strategy, to build our portfolio of high quality producing assets and medium term development opportunities to supply our British Gas customers.

Roy Gardner

Fluctuations in international oil prices are beyond China's control. We can only make sure the supply and production remain stable.

Fu Chengyu

You have to address the basic issue of supply or you will forever be chasing this problem.

Nat Roberts

All of this allows me to pinpoint the ideal supplement, dosage and duration. The body is designed to survive. All I have to do is look for what's missing and supply it.

Anne Menard

Some of our test wells are looking good. Natural gas prices continue to go up. Demand is going to increase, and supply is short because it's finite.

Mark Bottrell

To this end, we must diversify the primary sources and the supplying areas integrate our national market with the European one, create relations of interdependency with producing countries, defend the environments to achieve an environmentally-friendly energy development.

Claudio Scajola

It's all very well releasing a little bit of extra oil, but the other problem is logistics with refining. Refining capacity is under serious pressure in the South of the U.S., and extra supply isn't going to alleviate the refinery shortage.

Jeremy Stretch

It's economics 101: small supply, big demand. It's going to shoot prices up. These are producers that have held on, and some are having to reduce their herds. There are some tough decisions being made around kitchen tables.

Beverly Boyd

Supply concerns at the forefront of market attention and any threats to production are feeding straight through to price.

Ingrid Sternby

North Dakota spends zero dollars on alcohol prevention. The money comes from the federal government and is funneled through various state agencies. Those federal dollars are increasingly in short supply.

Lee Erickson

The continued support of Mexico to the management of global supply is conditional to effective compliance by other major producers and to the stability of market shares in our main export markets.

Adrian Lajous

In the ramblings of the bond market, corporate supply will be the dominating factor until Friday's PPI.

John Santoro

Commodities are significantly dislocated from underlying fundamentals, but what does inspire people about zinc is that it's the only commodity where we can say with hand on heart that supply will be constrained.

Nick Moore

The [U.S.] supply is still sorting itself out.

Jack Roney

At the same time, the supply of organic products has grown dramatically. With an increased supply, prices have gone down, and that was always a barrier to people who wanted to go organic but didn't want to increase their household budget on food.

Todd Hultquist

People anticipate supply and demand and go out ahead of time and try to profit from this.

John Davi

From requiring new security language in contracts with their business partners to testing new technologies and ways to identify container tampering, it is private sector stakeholders that have been the innovators in securing their supply chains to protect their employees, customers and businesses.

Jonathan Gold

The demand shock from India and China could turn into a supply shock because the reserve situation is so tight. Plus the geopolitical risks.

Laura Tyson

Clearly we consider ANWR to be important to our nation's energy supply and our nation's defense.

Courtney Boone

To reduce poverty, we need growth. And to advance growth we need adequate and reliable energy supply.

Li Yong

What we've seen from a small-business perspective is that for businesses that have a very small bottom line, employers usually end up cutting the one or two employees who they are paying the least. Unfortunately, it is a matter of supply and demand.

Patrick Lyden

Supply and demand is what drove up the prices. Demand was growing, and supply was staying relatively flat.

David Park

I don't understand how the Europeans can guarantee fuel supply if the U.S. isn't explicitly saying it won't impose sanctions on companies that cooperate with the Iranians.

George Perkovich

None of the fears about supply have gone away and demand growth shows no sign of slowing. That makes it a difficult market to sell.

Geoff Pyne

If you've got declining gas supply and people start burning more oil, then that's one thing, and then you've also got limited supply from Iraq. Suddenly there's a bit of supply news, and a bit of demand news, and it's the combination of those two that's pushing prices up.

Andrew Harrington

They are a large company that has a huge supply chain ... if they change their practices they could set a standard for the industry, as well as for their own company, and it can have huge impact.

Mindy Lubber

If there is a low supply, prices will obviously increase. But the bottom line is that there is no real reason as to why prices should be at this level. There has not been a shortage of oil since 1979. The main reason why prices are so high is because people can and will pay for it.

Ralph Bombardiere

I think we've passed an inflection point. We're seeing an end to the golden period of extremely low-cost labor in China. There are plenty of workers, but the supply of uneducated workers is shrinking.

Hong Liang

It seems the supply is tightening a bit more.

Jim Owen

Pests destroy our food supply and threaten public health by spreading deadly diseases. We must use pesticides to control these pests and our industry has a moral and ethical obligation, as well as a government mandate, to know how these products impact humans.

Jay Vroom

When you work in IT in the developed world there is a baseline of infrastructure that is given. What we think of as simple things like a reliable power supply cannot be taken for granted.

Neal Mccarthy

Our customers have no way to mitigate excess inventory, but we do. They want maximum flexibility with limited or no inventory liability. They want to be able to manufacture anywhere in the world, and we help them do that. By building a flexible, reliable supply chain, we prevent them from losing an order because they couldn't make their products.

Greg Frazier

The demand will exceed the supply we have.

Scott Reifert

Given our high backlog and strong new orders during the fourth quarter, we believe we can achieve 7-10 percent sequential revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, ... Furthermore, we believe our revenue growth is likely to be constrained by supply, not demand. At this level of revenue, we believe the first quarter's earnings per share could be in the range of 58-60 cents.

Jerald Fishman

Short of building an electrified border, we cannot stop the flow. We have to form laws so we can control the flow [of immigrants] in a rational way, but also match the supply of these workers to the demand there is for them.

Maria Juega

Concentrations of mercury can pose a hazard, especially is you move a quantity of it on, say, a shoe. If you then take that (mercury) into a confined space it could create some serious health risks, especially if it got into the water supply.

Mike Jensen

The Colorado River is extremely important to the state of Arizona. When other states begin to make noises about threatening Arizona's supply, I think the whole state needs to get involved.

John Sullivan

Prices are likely to continue to rise over the next month or so as a result of buyers returning to the market and supply remaining limited.

Richard Donnell

Supply and demand, ... is a very attractive concept.

Larry Lucchino

Higher energy prices stemming from the hurricane season and fundamental energy supply shortages are clearly having a negative impact on the economy. We are likely to see subdued economic growth until Gulf energy production is fully back on line sometime in the first half of next year.

David Huether

Water is as good as gold in arid Colorado. As northwest Colorado continues to grow we can?t afford to put our water supply in jeopardy just to benefit the oil and gas industry.

Pete Kolbenschlag

They are effectively going to get several minutes worth of return, not including promo time, for the supply of the goods.

John Gregory

You want a little tension between supply and demand. I think you want a reasonable wait list.

Jim O'connor

We don't foresee any major impact on supply in the market because the production that normally comes out of this furnace was shifted the other ones at the plant.

Tami Didiza

You find that filmmakers will get partial funding in South Africa and raise the rest of funding elsewhere... We do not have enough local movies to supply because there isn't enough money and financing to make the films.

Lindi Ndebele

It's a bubble. There will be lots of supply.

Andes Cheng

Of all the agencies we supply to. Seventy percent of them are faith-based organizations, and 50 percent of them rely totally on volunteer support.

Jan Pruitt

Vacancy rates in the Information Technology (IT) and computer science jobs are through the roof. The reason it's so intense is that the domestic labor supply isn't enough and U.S. companies are now having to go overseas (to track down talent). This looks like a permanent feature in this field.

Paul Harrington

MUMMY, n. An ancient Egyptian, formerly in universal use among modern civilized nations as medicine, and now engaged in supplying art with an excellent pigment. He is handy, too, in museums in gratifying the vulgar curiosity that serves to distinguish man from the lower animals. By means of the Mummy, mankind, it is said, Attests to the gods its respect for the dead. We plunder.

Ambrose Bierce

The product dictates the supply chain.

Philip Greenfield

We still have a supply.

Scott Burns

We don't harass them or own them. We just want to grow them. Even without an equity position, we can have a similar impact as an equity investor in that we do pursue long-term relations with suppliers because we know those lead to innovative approaches to our supply situations.

Peter Rosenfeld

It comes down to the fact that you supply the blue, and they supply the other colors and mix them with your blue, and maybe there's some blue left in the painting and maybe there isn't. Maybe there wasn't supposed to be any there in the first place. So have some fun and make a good blue and walk away.

Viggo Mortensen

Response to the HV Rack has been tremendous, and we are excited to offer these new user-requested options. They make the product available to another entire group of scientists and engineers, while offering current users even more flexibility in configuring their rack mount power supply.

James Morrison

That supply will far exceed demand, meaning owners will find it increasingly hard to rent out their properties and repay their debts.

Jack Rodman

Our reserves are the world's largest, giving us, conservatively, an estimated 250-year supply.

Jack Gerard

Our decision to implement changes in supply chain operations is a difficult one, but it is the right one for the business. The high costs of an inefficient supply chain are simply not acceptable. By moving quickly we will capture substantial savings this year, and be positioned to reap even greater cost savings in fiscal 2000 and beyond.

David Morrison

I also believe that they understand the valuable role we play in the business world. We give people the opportunity to work and contribute to our economy. On the other side, companies will have access to highly skilled employees that we supply.

Marilyn Ounjian

Semiconductor vendors remain conservative in their investment plans, which is enabling a continued gradual decline in supply-chain inventory levels and incremental improvement in manufacturing capacity utilization rates.

Richard Gordon

We have analyzed all of our options for alternative crude supplies and we are confident that our alternative supply sources will provide us our crude oil requirements should this shutdown occur.

Jeff Morris

Product availability is one of the most important things to our customers, ... We have a sophisticated supply chain. If you were to go on the Web and order products, we check inventory levels in the nearest Office Depot warehouse for next-day delivery.

Paul Gaffney

[Hurricane Katrina has challenged Seattle officials to] take a look at all our assumptions, ... We assumed we could supply all our emergency services. We need to see where emergency services did not work in New Orleans, and be prepared.

Greg Nickels

Gore's ability to supply EDLC electrodes and separators to suit the needs of different applications and the four decades of PTFE processing experience at Gore are indicative of the company's exceptional capabilities.

Viswanathan Krishnan

And physician shortages may get worse, as hospital expansions create new demand for specialists already in short supply.

Patrick Powers

They can buy whatever brand they want. We will supply the finance.

James Wright

Governments have shown that if there is a substantial supply risk they are willing to act, and act quickly.

Gary Ross

We have been moving forward and are leaving no stone unturned in looking for a new water supply. Time is of the essence. We need to get the moratorium lifted.

Wayne Henry

Over the last 12 months you can see a steadily increasing trend. I don't think it's been below $5 since last November. It's supply and demand across North America, but certainly you can't downplay the short-term impact of the recent hurricanes in the Gulf Coast.

Gary Newcombe

It seems to be a very crazy market. People worry about gasoline and crude oil supply.

Tetsu Emori

I think my flow or supply of money has been shut off. That's just my opinion.

David Steele

The whole idea here is to create healthy streams so we'll have a healthy water supply.

Bill Edwards

Because the vaccine is in short supply, I recommend that people call the health units Monday to see if the supply has been replenished. We are offering it for students up to age 18 right now, but there may be additional vaccine for students aged 18 through 20.

Dr. Tina Stefanski

It's a reminder that the political uncertainties and the exciting areas of the world to which you have to go to find this stuff, leave oil vulnerable to supply disruptions.

Gavin Graham

As the data show, the gap between domestic supply and demand is clearly narrowing, which should create the environment for prices to rise stably.

Masuhisa Kobayashi

The market is in a supply and demand balance.

Stephen Furlong

I'm going to get really rich. Market demand for this kind of product greatly exceeds supply.

Michael Kriozere

During the past quarter we faced a number of challenges that impacted our PC business, including component supply shortages in the notebook business and aggressive pricing by competitors in the government sector.

Joel Kocher

Store owners at one point went to Sam's Club to buy their sugar. I'd heard it got to the point that Sam's put a limit of two 10-pound bags. It had created an interesting supply-and-demand problem.

Robin Myers

[But that was before Katrina.] The hurricane has removed -- at least temporarily -- substantial supply from the market, ... Price will respond.

Trilby Lundberg

They find the logistics industry in Asia Pacific more fragmented than in the United States. The Asia Pacific logistics industry is comprised of small players that offer lower levels of supply chain support.

Paul Katz

The dynamic shifted this year. There was a growing perception that supply was running out. The doomsday scenario that stated OPEC couldn't meet demand and the Saudis wouldn't be able to increase output gained traction.

Doug Leggate

When a market is rising because the supply of funds is greater than the supply of assets, it is difficult to say when the ride will end.

Roland Nash

Traders normally try to use the supply story to push rates higher.

George Goncalves

Being named a GBS Eagle affirms our position as a leader in the supply chain finance market. By connecting the Buyer, Supplier and Capital Markets, our solutions help customers optimize working capital throughout their financial supply chain. These innovative solutions have contributed to our rapid growth.

Joseph Juliano

This tightness of supply in the Gulf Coast is going to spread.

Jim Jitterbugs

Clearly, the risk has increased, particularly with the current economic situation. However, we believe that Nokia's superior supply-chain management and its ability to reach the end market will keep it ahead of its peers.

Adnaan Ahmad

We are not trying to criminalise more people, we are trying to reduce the supply and demand.

Dave Johnston

We're interested in hearing about supply chain and logistics ideas and problems from central Indiana manufacturers. We have resources to offer them in terms of the expertise of our professors and good students for internships and employment.

Amanda Thompson

The outlook for seed orders looks pretty positive, so I'm confident we'll sell out of the limited supply.

Mark Mccaslin

From a supply and demand standpoint, there is going to be some rough sledding for a while.

Tim Ramey

Rate increases for lodgings are mostly a result of supply and demand, especially in major markets. Rising energy costs as well as salary and benefit costs are certainly having an impact on the hospitality industry.

Catherine L. Rossi

We're implementing a new program, hopefully in the next month. We will supply paint outright to private property owners within a day or two. We're going to try and match the paint to the property.

Patrick Johnson

The next step is that the mechanism be allowed to work and reflect market supply and demand.

Tony Fratto

To get the blood supply up beyond emergency levels, we all need to do our part.

Joe Calabrese

The problem we are facing is huge. The acute demand is leading to supply-side shortages.

Noshir Kaka

All these factors create apprehension in the market and reinforce the view that we're on a knife's edge in terms of supply and demand. The uncertainties heighten the risk premium applied to this market.

Daniel Hynes

It is not our intent to give the entire lottery management to a vendor, ... A vendor is going to supply us a product. The lottery is going to be run by a North Carolina lottery (commission) ... by a director who staffs up.

Charles Sanders

For Kimberly-Clark, implementing RFID technology into our supply chain operations is more than meeting customer needs. It's about partnering with our customers to improve fundamental business processes and ensure we deliver the right product to the right customer at the right time.

Mike O'shea

It's indicative of strong underlying demand for housing relative to supply and it's supportive of the view you will not get a major correction in house prices.

Dominic Bryant

Oil markets have been a bit irrational in the past week or two with long-term supply concerns affecting short-term prices. Iranian oil exports are unlikely to ever be restricted and certainly not anytime soon.

Kurt Barrow

It will depend on what the supply is like. There are so many variables.

Alastair Clarkson

The decline in demand should be short-lived. It will be a race between supply and demand. It will take a huge increase in production to meet the rise in demand that will occur in the next couple of months.

Phil Flynn

Flat-panel televisions is a big sector for semiconductor makers to tap. Supplying to an industry leader will be a significant breakthrough.

Phil Chen

It's a rapidly tightening market. If we have a normal winter, there is not enough supply being made available in the fourth quarter. The market needs more oil.

David Knapp

It is rare that we are this optimistic this early. There is an abundance of water and the prospects for the water supply are excellent.

Pete Weisser

DaimlerChrysler places a high strategic importance on a healthy supply base and understands that no automaker can win in today's global marketplace without the help of its suppliers.

Peter Rosenfeld

So the number of suites is a little low, but the price is on the high side, which makes sense, given supply and demand in the market. It's not a bad strategy, and the latest buildings have been cutting back a little bit [on the number of suites] to create that scarcity.

Jim Grinstead

Wages are really slow to move. The are really the last thing to adjust in a tightening labor supply.

Shelley Allen

This supply of fuel will enable the plant to continue to operate in safety and provide much-needed electricity to the western power grid of the country.

Navtej Sarna

We have broadened our Galileo initiative to tackle our annual procurement spend of $8.5 billion and effect a supply chain transformation that will reduce the amount we spend annually to deliver service to customers. On a second front, Galileo will continue on its accelerated path to address process transformation within the company, lower costs and improve the customer experience.

Stephen Wetmore

We have a good supply today, but I think it is important to plan for what the impacts can be down the road. I think we will see some outages.

Cragin Mosteller

We're pleased that JVC is able to meet compliance requirements on time and with the knowledge that the software will adapt as their supply chain and customers dictate. JVC has demonstrated its customer commitment by making RFID tagging an integrated step in its order operations.

Chris Heim

There's not a hint in his work of support for the right-wing supply-side doctrine.

Paul Krugman

In what we used to call the Club Med economies, there's Anglo-Saxon borrow-and-spend, and, on the supply side, it's the Germans turning Anglo-Saxon and kicking up a ruckus.

Charles Dumas

We are hearing of people going back to work who were unemployed for awhile and we are seeing (supply vs. demand) leveling off.

Andrew Guccione

If you delay the supply chain to the extent that prices go up and the cost of doing business with America is too high, and you have several shipping companies that can't upgrade their security, then the terrorists have won.

Noel Cunningham

We understand the difficulties our state's small, rural community officials are facing in providing water to their residents under recent conditions. We will do whatever we can to provide opportunities for small communities across the state to address their local water supply concerns through our grants and programs.

Charles Stone

I can only state again that I remain ever hopeful that that occurs, ... I believe they can supply answers which can help all of us get to the bottom of this.

Patrick Lynch

We're beginning to recognize that we may be up against it because there are so many of us and the water supply is about what it's always been.

Russ George

Inflation was expected to pick up on food supply, but it's still within the central bank's target.

Bertrand Delgado

There's so much supply it's become a chore for investors to say which is the best one to bet on. And when there's a downturn and things don't look good, people hold back.

Lawrence York

A wake-up call with regard to the dependency or the growing dependency of the United States on foreign sources of supply.

James Schlesinger

It's the kind of year we like to see. And if everything holds, the water supply outlook is pretty good.

Jon Lea

For example, some plans offer a mail-order concept. They say you can buy a three-month supply of drugs for the cost of two months. But examine it closely and you'll find that . . . you don't get it for the cost of a two-month supply. It looks good, but it's not good. Some of the programs I would turn up my nose at.

Harold Densmore

We've seen dip buying and think that's a precursor to larger commitment into supply.

David Ader

We did see a significant slowdown in Germany in the fourth quarter. Once this supply is out of the way, we do expect the European market to fare better and yields to fall.

John Wraith

There are still some supply disruptions related to the hurricanes, but it looks like there is a dent being made in alleviating these supply disruptions.

Gerald Zukowski

We have to be better drilled in the way we go about (supplying our forwards).

Neil Craig

Continued economic growth in Las Vegas is driving office absorption and pushing investment activity to new heights. A number of new projects are coming online, but strong tenant demand will keep supply and absorption in balance.

Christopher Lobello

You could put a million guys in their garages working on these cars, and it still wouldn't make a noticeable dent in the nation's fuel supply. That said, these cars are still displacing some petroleum, though a tiny amount.

George Douglas

It's clear that supplies of crude oil and natural gas are more than adequate. The gasoline supply looked pretty tight a few weeks ago but the market responded and that's no longer the case. We are also getting closer to the end of winter and it's clear gas and heating-oil stocks will be sufficient.

Joseph Allman

As we grow and our volumes grow, we need to make sure our North American supply stream is there to grow with us. And we've made good progress in developing, and continuing to develop, a supply community that will be able to be there with us as we expand.

Nancy Gioia

I can't get down (emotionally). I still have bills to pay and will try to go with the flow. Hopefully, I have enough talent to get another job around here ... I hope they can privatize Lone Star to keep it open and supply jobs.

Chris Taylor

Vermont Yankee supplies one-third of the state's electrical energy, and we want that supply to remain available.

Paul Steidler

We don't see another rate rise, but we recognize that the risk is still there, due largely to oil prices -- the oil market remains vulnerable for both supply and demand reasons.

Lorenzo Codogno

Prices will come down only when we increase the supply of natural gas in the marketplace to meet the growing demand for our product.

Thomas Skains

We think it's very important. It diversifies us from a supply standpoint, and it can lead to increased pricing competition, which could lead to lower prices.

David Trusty

We're dealing with the short-term supply shock now, although there are still further risks as the hurricane season continues.

Justin Smirk

All of these devices permit fine-tuning of zoned temperatures, ... Each of the remote units is separately piped with supply and return lines.

Andrew Fox

It looks like demand for high-quality steel remains strong and supply remains limited.

Yoji Takeda

The art is figuring out how to run the supply chain as efficiently as possible, while dealing with both types of products. Are all products treated as regulated material? Or is there a separate supply chain built for non-regulated goods? Are all products stored in high-quality, pharmaceutical-grade space or split to reduce costs?

Chris Holt

Crude oil tumbled in the final minutes of trading as traders are taking an attitude that prices may not see a substantial gain based on supply disruptions from Hurricane Katrina.

John Person

The market continues to be supported from a fundamental perspective by a combination of falling stocks and supply disruptions.

Angus Macmillan

The major concern is that there is no spare capacity to make up for any drop in oil supply from Iran, a fact that the country's leaders know and which enables them to be bolder than usual.

Sam Tilley

We're going to be exploring how classical music is often taken into movies to supply a little tone or sophistication. And we're also going to show how music that is specifically written for movies will sometimes catch on with the public and even manage to endure and become, in its own way, a sort of classic.

Ken Fleet

This is what we feel is the right amount for the time being. From a default supply standpoint, there's nothing immediately on the horizon.

Claudia Rapkoch

It's a matter of conjecture as to whether the Justice Department's investigation is affecting these sales. I would tend to think the supply is thin, and that the investigation really doesn't affect people.

Richard Feigen

We have a host of people waiting on us to return with these books. This many books will almost fill our library. Over 3,000 books will supply a huge portion . . . of our small library. So it's just amazing.

Mike Ishee

We've been in a nationwide blood appeal for June and July. When you think of our blood supply being already fragile, this is the area we need to pick up the slack.

Melanie Mcdonough

Oil shocks are a tax on growth, and this is no exception. None of us know how long this supply shock is going to last.

Richard Berner

The very core of the energy price reforms, apart from ensuring domestic fuel supply, is energy conservation.

Niu Li

To supply people for ages in camps makes no sense... You have to rebuild that cabana that they rent out to tourists on the weekend. They need help getting their fields repaired and their boats repaired.

Sam Worthington

When buying a VCR, DVD player or a PC, for example, people want the features they want, and they want them right away at a very low cost and [to] have it work well. In a more commoditized area like this, the supply chain is more critical than technology. In a highly technical area like medical equipment, the technology is more important.

Dan Hawthoff

Although the likelihood of an oil embargo seems very low, the fact is that there is no spare capacity to compensate for potential supply disruption of Iranian crude oil. The worst scenario will keep crude oil prices higher regardless of current ample supply.

Makoto Takeda

We're down for three reasons. One, we still have the overhang of supply associated with the February refunding auctions, which were not distributed that well. Two, the early gains in the Dow Jones industrial average have eliminated some support for Treasury.

William Sullivan

The company will be looking for assets to acquire. Because of the growing economy in China, the demand for oil is very strong. Demand far outweighs supply and China still has to import crude.

Mona Chung

JSU helps fuel the local economy by supplying an outstanding concentration of brainpower and experience in its faculty and staff, a significant payroll, and a strong base of student customers whose spending and labor ripple positively through our communities.

William Meehan

Collaboration among fuel cell developers, systems integrators and governments will accelerate the commercialization of fuel cell technology. Supplying Plug Power with our fuel cell stack strongly supports our strategic decision to focus our efforts on fuel cell development, leaving the systems integration to others.

John Sheridan

It is important that we continue to build our capacity to respond to public emergencies, which could include natural disasters, a viral pandemic or a major disruption to our province's energy supply or communications infrastructure.

John Harvard

There's no question that the demand for flash far exceeds supply today. How long that will continue is anybody's guess. Cellular phones are growing at a phenomenal rate. The whole wireless industry has experienced growth that no analyst has correctly projected.

Curt Nichols

The government's emphasis is really misplaced, ... Each and every year we become more dependent upon imports. Demand is exceeding supply.

Bill Greehey

Pension funds are caught in a vicious circle. The UK gilt market has now almost completely detached itself from economic fundamentals and has become a story of pension fund demand and Government supply.

Chris Hartley

Inflation for August was 0.1 per cent a welcome reduction from the previous months. While increases in bus fares and oil-related increases are likely to have a negative impact in September, assuming we have no adverse weather events, food prices are likely to fall as supply increases. The trend, therefore, should be for the inflation rate to return to lower levels.Thi.

Colin Steele

If any supply disruption occurs again we can make a speedy decision.

Claude Mandil

To this end, the list of exempt goods and services will be extended to include the supply of passenger transportation, donations, grants and condoms.

Baledzi Gaolathe

Sooner or later the seriousness of the situation for U.S. product supply will begin to show in the weekly U.S. data releases, though it may still be too early for that today.

Barclays Capital

You know, basically in a commodity business, low cost wins, ... And this is by far the best company in terms of supply chain management, marketing programs; [it] understands how to get that low cost to the consumer and to the corporate customer through a variety of areas and now they're looking at getting into the printer market.

Tobias Levkovich

There is an imbalance in terms of the demand and supply of energy which continues to be satisfied, or is increasingly satisfied, by external sources of energy products. Now we have a situation that has been every more complicated because of a domestic supply shock.

Brian Bethune

LNG is poised to become a much larger portion of our natural gas supply mix over the next several years. It is important that our Transco pipeline provide its customers with access to growing LNG and domestic supply options, particularly along the Gulf Coast.

Phil Wright

I tell people to learn as much as you can about the shells you collect, like, which ones are in short supply or endangered. I try never to collect live shells.

Linda Rawson

We expect the supply-demand imbalance to continue through calendar year 2000 and into 2001.

Koichi Nishimura

I believe the city has in its possession reports and written comments that suggest it could be a threat to the city's water supply.

Denny Ehlers

Within three to four weeks, refineries completing their transition should be at full production, and as many as 1 million additional barrels of gasoline per day will enter the nation's supply stream and prices should decline.

Paul Gonzales

Strong results in the fourth quarter capped a very solid year for Post, with our rental apartment and for-sale condominium businesses performing ahead of our expectations. Market conditions remain favorable and we expect to experience upward momentum in rents, due to ongoing job growth, in-migration, household formation and moderate levels of supply in our primary markets.

David Stockert

Silver Surges on exchange traded fund hopes. There is a serious risk that the silver price could ramp up by 25 per cent over the next couple of months, driven by supply concerns.

Paul Merrick

Demand is outstripping supply and this is the bullet point of the problem. The U.S. refinery snags are adding fuel to the flames. Certainly, in the long term, prices will head higher.

John Brady

I think a reduction in 2005 was mostly because of the absence of supply of lots. Quite a few of my builder friends are out of land.

Pat Neal

I think that the (high price) environment is poised to last for the next four to five years...because of the lack of the supply. You can't snap you fingers and bring new mines on.

David Stein

The results are mediocre at best. Given the amount of corporate supply coming and the refunding announcement around the corner, it's not a good sign.

Rick Klingman

The supply conditions in California have not changed significantly from Tuesday.

Patrick Dorinson

While we know any increase in rates is difficult for our customers, we believe we have been able to keep our request comparatively low through our aggressive power supply management and efficient operations.

Christopher Dutton

Economists always say there is a supply and demand equilibrium.

William Frey

The IEA release is obviously a bearish factor, a large portion of which consists of crude oil. Given the capacity constraints, the effect of additional barrels of crude oil seems limited and the amount of gasoline will be insufficient to ease current supply tightness.

Makoto Takeda

Basically it is used to supply scholarships for kids from the Gresham area. From the first year (we've held this), we've been able to give a scholarship to every kid that applies. We don't set our qualifications too high.

Bob Klopke

It's alarming that Broadwater openly attempted to supply misleading information for the safety assessment to our U.S. Coast Guard.

Adrienne Esposito
