If we don't have the resources, it doesn't make any sense to make policy decisions that can't be supported. You can't make these kinds of decisions in isolation.

Sheila Mcdevitt

The missions currently at Mars have each advanced what we know about the presence and history of water on Mars, and one of the main goals for Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is to decipher when water was on the surface and where it is now. Water is essential for life, so that will help focus future studies of whether Mars has ever supported life.

Rich Zurek

He was a good man. He was young, and he loved his life. It's sad, but we supported his decision to go overseas.

Rachel Silva

The power that is supported by force alone will have cause often to tremble.

Lajos Kossuth

Holmes has only been on the board since 2002, and has supported the necessary changes in management. Before taking any action, I want to understand what he knew about the management problems.

Gov. Donald Carcieri

We're going to concentrate on the areas that we were a little low on (votes) today, ... I just appreciate the folks who supported me all along, and I appreciate their continued support for the next three weeks.

Jim Snyder

It was a team effort. Every kid contributed who stepped on the floor and every kid on the bench supported them the whole way. It's great to see what kind of character a team has.

Deb Bennett

Because of the brutality of the crime, that was an overriding factor for the jury in deciding for death for Mr. Morales, and the governor supported that decision.

Chuck Schultz

Over the past couple of weeks, the move higher in the stock market has been supported by a few big-cap stocks. This is a repeat of the 'Nifty Fifty' in the '70s. While the averages have hit new highs, the bulk of the stocks is moving lower.

Scott Bleier

Every American has the right to a peaceful protest and everyone has the right to express their views without breaking the law. Freedom of speech is obviously supported by the president and this White House. As far as our national security programs, those are built and funded to preserve and protect those freedoms.

Trent Duffy

RHEL and SUSE have to compile their binaries for the lowest common system, be that power3 or power4 I'm not quite sure. Since we can provide supported release stages at many levels we had the opportunity to do both.

Daniel Ostrow

The collaboration with the musicians of the New York Philharmonic is sheer joy. The Orchestra is so professional, so prepared, so motivated. I float from day to day, concert to concert, masterpiece to masterpiece, supported by the sound of the New York Philharmonic.

Lorin Maazel

Our strong commitment to continuing to create shareholder value is evidenced by the declaration of our first ever cash dividend. This dividend, supported by the company's excellent free cash flow and strong balance sheet, reflects our confidence in the future growth of Barnes & Noble.

Leonard Riggio

I'm glad our offer of privatization as an option for all 4-year state-supported colleges and universities in South Carolina has stirred the pot a bit.

Mark Sanford

Any efforts of that type that offer alternatives to hazing are welcomed and supported by the university.

Lanedra Carroll

[Why did these strangers embrace her when her mother could not? At Planned Parenthood, she had met pro-life parents who supported abortions for their daughters.] Everyone has an exceptional case when confronted with difficult situations in life, ... That's what love is.

Joe Fields

Video CD players weren't necessarily supported by the Hollywood studios, but Indian and Chinese movie studios made content available and people were willing to buy them. I think you could see, to that extent, more than one standard.

Michelle Abraham

We've supported them and they've recognized that.

Jesse Johnson

For as long as I care to remember, religion, like the striptease, has always been a display of the power of suggestion. Like the Virgin Birth, it has all too often supported an immaculate deception.

Bernard Katz

The decline in the price index was supported by the further currency appreciation to levels below R6.30/US$ at year-end, as well as the moderation in local energy prices.

André Roux

Anytime I come home, it's great. I have a lot of friends and family here who have supported me through thick and thin.

Trenton Hassell

I hope the Chinese team will be well supported but at the same time, I am hoping that the China fans give the Japanese the same sort of treatment.

Peter Velappan

There is good reason for oil remaining positive for the Canadian dollar, if you look at what's going on in Iran. The Canadian dollar should be well supported.

Naomi Fink

The big thing for us now is to go back to our roots. That is membership. We aren't supported by tax dollars. We are supported by the community saying we want it.

Al Brown

We have several area foundations that have supported us as well as grants from our area members.

Kay Crites

We will not be able to freeze tuition for undergraduate students in 2006 with a state appropriation that looks like it might be near the same level we received five years ago. The increase in inflation and other costs over the past five years will have to be supported by more internal belt-tightening and our only other main income stream -- tuition.

Bill Mahon

The Take Care NPs are supported by standardized protocols that I am confident will ensure quality care. This electronic backbone decreases the chance of a failed handoff.

David Nash

Independence Air worked really well here. They may have not succeeded nationally but we were in their top 10 cities and we were the largest city in their top 10 cities so our people supported it so well.

Becky Huckaby

I feel very humble and need to thank everyone I've worked with and who have made this job a wonderful experience. That includes the audience that has supported us, the businesses that have supported us.

Barbara Rowell

The U.S. economy is still doing very well, and numbers out this week should be fairly solid. The dollar is going to be well supported.

Michael Klawitter

It's our gift to our public, which has supported us for 25 years.

Patsy Herrington

Just based on the feed back we've been getting that it's being overwhelmingly supported.

Trevor Wilson

The only method by which people can be supported is out of the effort of those who are earning their own way. We must not create a deterrent to hard work.

Robert A. Taft

This was a difficult decision for us. While she has voted for us and supported us, many, many people who were on that committee felt that she does not do her homework. She comes and she doesn't seem prepared.

Iva Nash

Nicholls never supported the program. The program did not grow like the Board of Regents and the administration assumed it would. Nicholls started the program, but now wants to eliminate it.

George Watt

There isn't that many places where women can go to be supported and have an advisory group or peer group for that matter.

Linda Price

We are truly grateful for the thousands of customers worldwide who have supported our company over the past 10 years.

Darrell Williams

We supported the TSA initiative and still do. We certainly respect the flight attendants' perspective on cabin safety, but it's not scissors that are bringing down airplanes today.

David Castelveter

We're trying to make it a community-supported event. Not just the chamber or business people.

Shelly King

Max has consistently set benchmarks in the industry with its innovative marketing and promotional campaigns, receiving accolades in India and internationally. This time too, supported by an innovative and groundbreaking campaign, the big blockbusters on Max are sure to enthrall viewers and re-enforce Max's commitment of fuelling their passion for movies.

Albert Almeida

The special prosecutor basically supported what we had told the Board of Elections all along.

Michael Ward

That era is retiring, and that's why it's time to start making the change. The people who built and supported this system are no longer around.

Mark Calhoon

I was very interested to see if the PDC sessions would have any tangible content about where LINQ draws the line between proprietary language magic and system-supported infrastructure that all languages can leverage.

Danny Thorpe

The recent tech gains were supported by a wave of upward revisions to earnings forecasts. But for those shares to go further from here, investors need to know how they are going to perform next year.

Takashi Miyazaki

Orange County Choppers. They said this area made Orange County Choppers, supported it. They're looking to cash in on that.

Chris Birdsall

It's tough to block out all that stuff. Our group supported each other. Most of it was out of our control.

Chris Soule

We're really honored that both houses supported the legislation.

Josh Ewing

With current trading in line with our expectations and strong demand for the group's products supported by continuing development of new distribution channels and strategic alliances, we look forward to another successful year in 2006.

Sean Mahon

Inventories of both crude and the products are overwhelming the market. Geopolitical concerns have supported prices but they seem to be fading into the background.

Jim Steel

Over the last two days, it's been geopolitical happenings that have supported gold prices. Iran and Palestine are focal points.

Michael Widmer

I've always supported myself. I like the sense of knowing exactly where I stand financially, but there is a side of me that longs for a knight in shining armor.

Barbara Feldon

The only question was, [with] a new coach coming in, some new players coming in, you just didn't know how it was all going to mesh together. But you could see from that first day of training that the guys really got along with each other and they like each other and they've always supported each other no matter what.

Al Westover

Snowmobiling is about family fun and introducing youth to the sport. The Midway Sno-Busters wanted to give something back to the communities that have supported them so well throughout all of the 30 years.

Bob Zimmerman

They bring retail sales tax back into the borders of the city of Tulsa. And, that's what supports the police, supports the fire, supports public education and supports the arts, the more good corporate citizens we have remaining in the city, the more our arts will be supported.

Kathy Taylor

Even if you assume he made the decision without political motivations, the political impact or ramifications certainly worked in his favor. All those swing voters who supported him during the recall election support the death penalty.

Dan Schnur

Coach Wynn took a chance on a young coach from South Florida Community College. He supported me in every way, and I am extremely grateful.

Tim Hill

Everybody else is … putting content out over free Internet and creating an ad-supported model for their product. What we elected to do is take broadband products and license them to distributors.

Sean Bratches

The market acceptance for the NEVER FLAT has been tremendous from the get-go. All of our retail partners have supported the NEVER FLAT since its launch and as a result, early indications suggest another success in our rich history of innovative products.

Dan Touhey

My parents didn't have a scientific bone in their body, and their daughter was pursuing a career in astrophysics. They didn't even know what astrophysics meant, but they supported me.

Sally Ride

At a minimum, we don't believe this quarter represents the consistently better-than-expected results that have supported Hershey's valuation in the recent past.

Robert Campagnino

If someone does not have a specific charity they would like to donate to, that's OK. An undesignated donation would be split up evenly amongst all the charities supported by the Annapolis Area Complex.

Darren Brown

Dividend increases supported by strong earnings will attract investors. With only two weeks remaining till the end of the fiscal year, people are sensitive to dividend news.

Tsuyoshi Nomaguchi

We put a personal touch on it, to make their parents feel comfortable with the handoff, and know they'll be supported in everything they do. It's a great college environment. The football's all it's cranked up to be, and the education and the degree are very valuable because of the success they'll have on the field and in the classroom.

Jack Cosgrove

The mayor was very supportive. He said Algiers is fine and encouraged and supported us in opening schools. We said we'd target November, and he's OK with that.

Sajan George

We came out beautifully in the end. The community really came out and supported us.

John Rodeffer

The dollar will remain supported for the time being so long as central banks overseas continue to intervene to keep their currencies weak against the U.S. dollar.

Michael Woolfolk

Sitting with him, they wanted to do network, they wanted to do syndication, ... I've got to get that ['Ben Stein'] time period back on Comedy Central. It supported a game show that was intelligent and smart.

Michael Davies

It's very important to Australia that these schemes work and are supported because if we keep independents in the market place we'll keep discounting in the market place so that means it's a win-win situation.

Ron Bowden

If a woman feels safe and comfortable and supported, it's amazing what she can do.

Mallory Mensah

He wanted to find his goals. We supported his choice.

Jessica Wolf

I can die a happy man knowing I have such support. I did not know so many people supported me.

Ramzan Kadyrov

All options are on the table, including mail elections. The secretary has supported them in the past as a way to give counties more options.

Jennifer Kerns

I supported that resolution because I wanted to bring the administration forward to answer some questions about what they knew, when they knew it, and what they've authorized.

Gwen Moore

When I left I just played in rock bands, and started playing acoustic, washed dishes, but pretty much supported myself with music.

Jon Anderson

We know that at all times in Mr. Levesque's career she was always at his side and always supported him with dignity and courage, and I think we must pay tribute to her today.

Lucien Bouchard

He never pretended to know about art or theater, but he knew the arts were important for the community, so he supported his wife and the arts.

Bob Barton

We're certainly looking at advertising-supported, subscription, PPV and anything else that comes along.

Bernard Gershon

The hearing was very thorough. The board weighed the respective positions carefully and made the decision that supported the recommendation of the administration.

Roger Allen

The theory that autism is the extreme of the male brain is not strongly supported by these data.

David Skuse

The school has really shown its support. The students came out and supported us and helped us win. It was good that we (boys and girls) could both bring it back.

Jamarr Sanders

We are supported by the income derived from the sale of our publications and services as well as noncommercial charitable donations.

Douglas Love

It appears to raise issues concerning its constitutionality under Roe v. Wade. In the past, the governor has supported legislation that exempts rape and incest.

Jodi Whitaker

Within Libyan security organizations, if made known to the world would show the degree of coordination, organization and structure that would have supported this terrorist operation.

Neil Gallagher

This targeting of AU personnel contravenes the status of the African mission as an independent third-party, strongly supported by the U.N. Security Council.

Jan Pronk

They've always supported me. My brother has bought me cleats. My mom missed a day of work for the state semifinals. At Yavapai, it will be different. But I know they'll still support me.

Irving Garcia

The governor feels, as a commander-in-chief from a state that has fully supported the federal mobilizations that the president has requested from Connecticut, it is simply a policy that doesn't make sense.

John Wiltse

The notion that the government knows better how to improve on a competitive marketplace is not supported by the evidence.

Kyle Mcslarrow

That wall supported awesome train loads right up until 1993, ... It truly is one of the monuments here.

Gordon Richards

All those reforms will need to be nurtured carefully and it is crucial that they be supported throughout by a stable and transparent macroeconomic policy framework.

Xolile Guma

At both levels, the court supported the idea that the school is responsible for the health and safety of the kids in the building.

John Graf

He grew up in the Depression, seeing men work for $1 a day. He saw what Franklin Roosevelt did, and I think that's why he became a Democrat, although he supported good people of both parties.

Tom Kelley

The chancellor has long supported and made clear that we need to use pay differentials to attract highly qualified teachers for our most challenging schools, where our best teachers are needed most.

Jerry Russo

The enactment of the CESA legislative proposal is supported by the law enforcement community...and I strongly encourage its favorable consideration by Congress.

Louis Freeh

Any ideas about a coercive, forceful solution to the issue are highly counter-productive and cannot be supported.

Sergei Lavrov

General Newton was our hero, ... And, when the chairman said he strongly supported the motion — boy, that was a great relief.

Rob Simmons

After careful reflection, I have decided I can no longer sit idle. I must support the most qualified, most informed, most articulate and the most honest spokesman for the 106th District. I strongly encourage everyone that supported me to determine the best remaining candidate. I believe you will agree the obvious choice is Warren Auld.

Garry Rhodes

This administration has been far too close for far too long to the Saudi ruling family, a family that has supported terrorism for over a decade.

Charles E. Schumer

More and more, we're partnering with the state to do things the state normally would have funded on a regular basis but now is requiring some private resources. It requires the state to put less money into projects and, in turn, makes it more likely to be supported.

Jill Schoer

They all really supported the idea, not the publicity.

Brad Gwinn

I set my goal to get up there in the 40s. Everyone supported me. Everyone was just trying to get me assists, and they were all happy to be a part of it.

Fernando Gauna

We were able to reach a fair and equitable agreement that met the needs of our pilots and supported the financial goals for our company. We look forward to obtaining ratification of the agreement and working with the entire World Airways team to continue the growth and success of the airline.

Charlie Mcdonald

We have always supported the idea of parity management and we stick to it now. Moreover, we see the possibility of inviting a third, foreign partner into the consortium and of redistributing stakes in it accordingly, say, among Ukraine, Russia and Germany, because Germany was brain-father of this proposal.

Alexander Medvedev

Clear Channel Television Interactive (CCTVI) required an in-house solution we could host ourselves that performed well in a Microsoft environment, ... While other competitive solutions only supported limited operating environments, AdManager proved to be a scalable solution with a flexible architecture designed to meet all of our business needs.

Jason Gould

The view that the Fed can take a measured approach is supported by the Greenspan testimony today -- he reiterated that the measured approach is really the right medicine here.

Sadakichi Robbins

There are no buyers, so why raise production. We would have supported raising production if there was a shortage, but that's not the case.

Maizar Rahman

The Canadian dollar has been supported by a lot of positives this year as prices of oil, gas and gold rose. Bank of Canada has raised rates; that also boosted demand for the currency.

Andrew Busch

I have always supported, and support today, equal rights for women, particularly in the workplace.

John Roberts

There was a lot of speculation last week about the end of rate hikes. Now we've come back to what I would call normal expectations, and that has supported the dollar.

Antje Praefcke

I told him that we still need freedom to carry out our work. He said he supported this, and told me to keep on doing what we've been doing.

Kem Sokha

As long as geopolitical concerns are there, gold will be supported.

Shuji Sugata

In the end, while I thoroughly understand and totally supported President Bush's decision not to pursue Saddam personally, I am now prepared to admit that it was probably a mistake.

Lawrence Eagleburger

I will probably not continue racing for 20 more years. But I will go on until I accomplish my goal, that is F1, to repay those who have supported me.

Keiko Ihara

We called the owners ... and talked with them. They really supported our mission; they thought it was an incredible opportunity.

Maria Sentelik

The decline in the price index was supported by the further currency appreciation to levels below R6.30 per US dollar at year-end, as well as the moderation in local energy prices.

André Roux

The warming at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago, was supported by the disappearance of enormous ice sheets, a one-third increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and changes in the seasonal distribution of the sun's energy. But the abrupt changes we documented during the last ice age seem to be almost entirely ocean driven.

Scott Lehman

I agree with that. I've always supported a property-tax convention, as long as it includes a look at spending. ... We can't continue to raise taxes to cover spending increases.

Leonard Lance

The Janjaweed are like a grotesque mixture of the mafia and the Ku Klux Klan, ... These guys have a racist ideology that sees the Arab population as the supreme population that would like to see the subjugation of non-Arab peoples. They're criminal racketeers that have been supported very directly by the government to wage the war against the people of Darfur.

John Prendergast

She brought the library system together to make sure that all libraries were supported.

Kathy Long

It means a lot to me for us to play well when those guys (the 75-76 team) came back for their reunion. They were very appreciative and really supported our team. It was just a great win.

Lloyd Church

We believe it?s vital for cricket that there should be live free-to-air broadcasting, so we?re delighted that the BBC?s radio services, including the Asian Network, will be offering live coverage from India. This will be supported by our strong online news service and by reporting across our TV and radio channels.

Roger Mosey

Once the casino exemption was put in and supported by about everybody, it was still a bill about where people smoke. It wasn't a bill about public health.

Assemblyman Guy Gregg

It was a decision that was certainly not easy and a decision that I hope the people who have supported me throughout my career can understand and respect.

Omar Jacobs

I made the comment (at the board meeting) that I encouraged and fully supported the efforts of (superintendent) Rita Bishop and Curt Baker. That's not against the board president.

Sandy Rosario

The expansion of classes was supported by our membership, and as I've said in the past, we're a membership-driven organization. Those who voted favored this move.

Marty Hickman

The plaintiff's claims are without merit, as shown by the fact that the entrepreneur-defendants are supported by the expert reports of three former FCC Commissioners, including a former FCC chairman.

Lanny Breuer

South Carolina State does not get its proportionate share. Why should State be a stepchild? That is what 1954 was about. It's a state-supported institution and it should start there if it's about funding.

Porter Bankhead

It was good to see. It was mostly military crowd and they supported him.

Brian May

I did, absolutely, and I supported the first Gulf war.

Joe Wilson

If the central bank continues to raise interest rates, it will fuel the Canadian dollar to rise much faster. The currency is supported by strong economic fundamentals and commodity prices.

Clement Gignac

The sense over the last few days seems to be that the dollar is reasonably well supported. We have had reasonably good numbers out of U.S. for a considerable period and the dollar did not rally, so maybe people are having a bit of a rethink.

Daragh Maher

My parents were apprehensive about me traveling abroad, with terrorism and other problems. But they decided it was a good fit and supported me 100 percent.

Cheryl Baker

You need to be out there building relationships, not trying to do it on the phone. Get them on campus and have those support services. If a student doesn't feel supported, they are going to leave. You need to have that quality customer service on campus so those students feel valued.

Dr. Eileen Ely

We must hold the Sudanese government accountable for the attacks they have supported on their own citizens.

John Olver

When you see all we do at the local level and how we make the arts community aware of Sioux City at a national level, I can't imagine a better use of funds. Our symphony is 90 years old. It's one of the oldest orchestras in the country. It's been one of the best supported by its community and certainly it is my hope it will continue.

Doug Gerhart

The group that we have going are great athletes and great drivers and the head coach's position is to support them. And as long as they feel supported by Tim, he probably can do a great job there with that group.

Tristan Gale

Tokyo shares followed the Nasdaq today. Also, trading was supported by those buyers who came back to the market now that Y2K-related concerns seem to have cleared.

Kunihiro Hatae

If I ask myself how many writers of color are writing in the American theater, it's sad. You could count the writers being supported on two hands.

Ricardo Khan

Strong, well-supported dealerships that provide outstanding customer service are key to Hyundai's continued success in the U.S. market. We appreciate the loyalty and dedication of our dealers and look forward to working together to expand our sales growth across the country.

Mark Barnes

He took time to explain the course of the disease and he supported Karen and assured her that he would honor her choice. He never once inferred that she was wrong for choosing to live her life the best way she knew how. He never said it had to be his way.

Joellyn Schultz

I really feel once they try it, they'll do it a lot more. We've done both, and we supported the local leagues. It is a good program, and it's good for local boys to play together. But I also support tournament ball. It's a good experience, and it's the next level.

William Barnes

They thought we did a really good job and they supported it.

Stephanie Waxman

We will make sure she is supported, even if we have to take out a mortgage.

Tony Gray

This is another milestone, ... Our residents value our wonderful recreation programs, and they have supported this facility from the beginning.

Mike Simpson

Assuming that the correlation between interest rates and the dollar does not break down again soon, it suggests that the dollar will remain supported, at least over the short-term.

Henrik Gullberg

Although exports had dipped in January, this was due to the Lunar New Year and there's a significant rebound this month. Exports are supported by sturdy global economic growth.

Takeshi Minami

Our export function is also supported by enterprise relationship management (ERM) software that provides full order processing-right from acceptance of the order through to dispatch and invoice. It is fully integrated with our financial ledgers, manufacturing and distribution functions. It also allows sales analysis and reporting features.

Barbara Russell

Data suggest that economic activity has bottomed and that the worst is now being reported for corporate profits. As such, stock price gains are expected to continue, supported by improvements in corporate performance and mild-mannered inflation and interest rates.

Abby Joseph Cohen

We are pleased with this decision. We asked them to talk to us when they made this change, and they wouldn't. That forced us to go through the court system. And yet again, the courts have supported our position.

Lee Huenecke

Not only did he stand down and get out of the way, but he supported me all along, ... Michael has been exceptional in how he handled this transition.

Robert Iger

Token ring was a very elegant way of sharing bandwidth on a LAN, ... What killed it was LAN switching because all that matters there is price per port. Ethernet was simpler and supported by more vendors, so it was cheaper to build Ethernet chip sets.

David Passmore

This season has really gotten off to a good start. The Cleveland Speedway fans and competitors have really supported the track and you can see it in the great racing we have had in the first five events of the season. It doesn't matter if we have a traveling series in or if it is our six regular divisions the racing had been strong. We are looking for more of the same this Saturday night.

Monty Morrow

My mother carried on and supported us; her ambition had been to write poetry and songs.

Philip Levine

High-performance connectivity to link server and storage resources is critical when designing the infrastructure for the data center of the future. This is a key area for investment by Brocade as we fulfill our commitment to provide the most reliable, scalable, and widely supported storage networks available.

Tom Buiocchi

That is the exception that swallows the rule. Private-to-private takings are still authorized when they are state financed ? something that's true in nearly all large-scale developments. The league-supported bill doesn't end eminent domain abuse; it simply shifts decision-making to St. Paul and enlarges the lobbying power of the Minnesota League of Cities.

Lee Mcgrath

The suggestion that there is an unwillingness to admit to the jurisdiction of the contractor-general, contrary to law, is not supported by the facts. While it may well be the case that there is need for us to review what falls within or does not fall within the ambit, I would not like the impression to be conveyed that somehow the NLA was resisting the requirements of law.

Dr Peter Phillips

The market was largely supported by the property sector as interest rate worries eased after the release of the US Fed minutes.

Castor Pang

With private-sector credit extension running well ahead of expectation, the consumer is clearly still being supported by high leverage.

Nazmeera Moola

That has nothing to do with the White House, and for the Democrats to complain after they supported that blasphemous and slanderous movie by Michael Moore, which is the worst trash ever, and yet Democrats appearing at the premiere and the opening - it's absolutely disgraceful that the Democrats even raised that.

Peter King

This constitutional referendum and whether it is supported by the Sunnis to a large degree, I think, is something that we just have to watch to see how that comes out. So until we're done with this political process here, with the referendum and the elections in December, I think it's too soon to tell.

George Casey

For years, Richard Riordan funded the anti-abortion movement, supported anti-choice candidates and even called abortion murder. Now he says he's pro-choice.

Gray Davis

Rights are most secure when they are supported by legislative enactment.

Jack Balkin

Conservation programs are very well supported politically these days.

Don Dixon

I think with the sophomores playing in their last home game, they were a little more focused on that than the actual game at first. We tried to tell them at halftime that there's been a lot of people who have supported them since they've been here, and they owed it to them to go 100 percent the rest of the way.

Dave Stricklin

The ratings on Macquarie reflect its resilient earnings profile, supported by its well-diversified business platform and strong asset quality experience. The bank's ratings also stem from its strong management capability, well-entrenched risk discipline, and conservative financial policies.

Craig Bennett

Most of the smaller carriers who are not supported by a rich parent are really skating on thin ice.

Doug Mcvitie

I have supported and voted for a variety of trade agreements in the past because increased trade, when achieved through a true level playing field, helps grow the economy and create jobs.

Tom Udall

By organizing our core business into individual business units, there has been duplication of tasks and responsibilities that have not been supported by our sales growth. By restructuring our organization into functional areas, not only will we be more efficient, we will also be much more effective.

David Dyer

Since Wednesday morning, we've worked hard in getting this place cleaned up and aired out so we could meet our own deadline of being open by Saturday. A lot of people came by and supported our efforts.

Chris Foresta

Everyone I have talked to has supported the idea. I haven't talked to anyone who is against it, so hopefully everyone will be able to help by contributing a dollar or two.

Betty Wilson

The euro was well supported after IFO. We believe it can go up higher but prefer to buy it on dips. I expect euro/dollar to test the next resistance of $1.2323 today.

Peter Fontaine

We are very excited to continue our association with Thurston Spring Service Inc. and Bill Thurston. We are blessed to be associated with someone of Billy's caliber. He is a tremendous businessperson, but more importantly a tremendous person. Billy has supported weekly racing in the area for many years now and we are ecstatic that he will be continuing his relationship with our speedway.

Clarke Sawyer

We performed really well in front of our home crowd, and the girls really supported each other in a positive manner.

Dave Randgaard

She accepted the travel and living in hotels for 11 months, ... With a child, she could have said she wanted to be home, and that would have been difficult. After a match it's 10 p.m., and then you have dinner until 12 - all the inconveniences of a pro athlete. Tennis was my first priority, and she accepted it. She gave advice and supported me.

Hicham El Guerrouj

Capital spending is strong and will continue to be a key driver of growth. Japan's economy has clearly emerged from last year's lull and will enjoy steady growth supported by domestic demand.

Seiji Adachi

There's no doubt. If he would have stayed here in Minnesota, he'd have been under the microscope for four to five years. The pressure won't be there to elevate a program or carry a program. It was just, for him, a chance to get away. And we supported that decision.

Nate Dahlman

We have to develop an isolation strategy, which will be combined political means and military means, ... But first of all we are rather close to the political isolation and we are happy that the international community and all friends and allies have supported us and we're seeing an overall condemnation of these people.

Boris Trajkovski

We depend on foreign investment not only to bridge the gap between what we save and what we consume, but our manufacturing base is heavily supported by foreign investment.

David Marchick

The shareholders of both Guidant and Boston Scientific will benefit from the significant upside potential of the combined company, which will be strongly positioned in a wide range of medical markets and be supported by a more diversified base of revenues and earnings.

Pete Nicholas

We want to get him in front of a lot of the people that have supported Exploration Place in the past. He will be a very busy man.

Rob Allison

The yen may be well supported until Fukui's press conference. Expectations of his hawkish comments on a policy shift are not likely to fade away.

Keizo Tanaka

Our best efforts have been talking to our legislators, even the candidates that are running for governor, and bringing up the issue and making them aware of what our thoughts are, so that's why I haven't supported the matrix.

Jerry Parker

Over the past half century, as American poetry's specialist audience has steadily expanded, its general readership has declined. Even if great poetry continues to be written, it has retreated from the center of literary life. Though supported by a loyal coterie, poetry has lost the confidence that it speaks to and for the general culture.

Dana Gioia

The ratings on South Africa are supported by the sovereign's prudent macroeconomic policies, a moderate debt burden, and strong and stable political institutions.

Beatriz Merino

We supported East River Science Park. We supported the United Nations tower. We're not an anti-development board. But we do want planning input. We don't look kindly on commercial, nor on buildings taller than the U.N. Secretariat.

Edward Rubin

The outpouring of volunteers has been tremendous. I have a significant backlog of e-mails from across NAVFAC Washington and from personnel assigned to commands supported by us, ready to go and assist those in need.

Fred Brown

Our detectives, supported by the metro police, had an early morning operation today and we arrested 118 of the people on our wanted list.

Eugene Opperman

The euro is becoming firmer, supported by a better economic outlook and expectations of further interest-rate increases by the ECB.

Etsuko Yamashita

The major problem people are having is the one we predicted all along: that it's not very well supported.

Eric Peterson

Based on the statistics, most of the charges saying that obesity caused various diseases or that obesity caused thousands of deaths were simply not supported.

Eric Oliver

It's pretty obvious it's an issue on campus that needs to be addressed. We put a committee together and I supported it.

Eric Norris

Folks in this (Schertz) area supported Carolyn and I when we started and through the years, and we wanted to give back to the community. Supporting a new library seemed like the best way to help the whole area. A lot of people use a library.

Eric White

Everybody wanted to know the whole truth based on facts and irrefutable evidence, a truth that would identify and uncover those who masterminded the heinous crime, executed it and supported it.

Emile Lahoud

I'm used to being on the road and being an opponent. I'm looking forward to having the support of people who have encouraged and supported me the last five years who haven't even seen me box.
