Gains have been broad-based, and that's encouraging because the fact that the increases in employment are not dependent on one particular industry suggests that this improvement in job creation is on a sustainable trend.

Conrad Dequadros

Negotiations have fallen dramatically short of the kinds of commitments that would ensure a sustainable future for our planet and the people who live on it.

Claude Martin

The wine industry has wholeheartedly embraced sustainable farming practices. We are taking that concept a step further by introducing the idea of sustainable business practices. Wine in a box saves energy, reduces waste and helps the environment. We are here to prove that being good for the Earth is not just good for the quality of the wine -- it's also good business.

Charles Bieler

In my view, there is an urgent need to communicate with the public and help to explain where there is consensus, and where are there doubts about the issues of sustainable development.

Jeff Sachs

Most digital divide projects have had a philanthropic impetus, but HP has said that if this thing is to be sustainable, it has to have a solid business case, ... It can't be sustainable if it is dependent on grants.

Clive Smith

The level of U.S. indebtedness to the rest of the world has more than doubled over the past five years to more than 25 percent of its GDP. These large imbalances are not sustainable over the longer run. No country, even one as big as the United States can keep increasing its external indebtedness as a share of its GDP. Ultimately, these imbalances will have to be resolved.

Paul Jenkins

The current account deficit is entirely sustainable and a natural consequence of globalization. In terms of fundamentals, there are no reasons why the dollar shouldn't be doing well.

Richard Cooper

Pharmacia reported earnings growth of 19 percent, but the pharmaceutical side was up more than 20 percent by itself, so that's the sustainable long-term piece when they spin off agriculture.

Jeff Chaffkin

It is difficult to see the New Zealand dollar stage any kind of sustainable rally. Data is likely to portray softer growth than the Reserve Bank's projections.

Sean Comber

Prices of utilities and other stocks have reached levels that don't look sustainable at the moment, given the overall economic environment.

Guenter Senftleben

It is the industry standard to put forth tainted information to sell the most drugs, ... Whether that is a sustainable situation that investors can benefit from, I can't answer that.

John Abramson

We have got to look very carefully at how we're structured, and how each one of these fisheries is sustainable. The future is very bright for fisheries if we do it right.

William Hogarth

On many levels, the British presence is more sustainable. It is safer in the Shiite south, and casualties are low.

Dana Allin

To ensure a sustainable sea otter population in the future, we need to allow sea otters to expand their range without forcing them to live in one spot or another.

Sam Farr

To the extent that we do not achieve a steady improvement in people's standard of living and sustainable development we risk that these formidable personalities [Fidel and Raul Castro] become the only pillar which our system rests.

Francisco Soberon

Corporate lending has remained relatively healthy because of economic growth. There is an issue about how sustainable consumer borrowing will be, especially if the economy no longer benefits from rising real estate prices, which creates a greater willingness to borrow and spend.

Jim Lyon

The July data, and the year-on-year increase, confirm that a moderate but sustainable recovery continues, putting us on track for 7-9 percent sequential growth in the third quarter.

George Scalise

Large wildlife populations, attractive scenery, rich fishery resources, and expansive woodlands are the basis of a sustainable future. The idea is for local communities to manage the land, wildlife, and natural resources so they are profitable, and ultimately, self-supporting.

Chris Weaver

An implementation plan has been put into effect to deliver on our key objectives -- unlocking, maximizing and returning long-term sustainable value to shareholders while increasing and enhancing the value of our services and products to our lottery customers.

Bruce Turner

We are delighted to partner with Guyana Goldfields in an investment that helps Guyana develop valuable mineral resources in an environmentally and socially responsible way, We are excited to work with a company that shares our commitment to sustainable development.

Rashad Kaldany

Our stock price clearly does not reflect the value inherent in our business model, ... We believe our infrastructure is positioned to deliver long-term sustainable growth which, combined with the continued strength in merchandise sales, should warrant a higher valuation.

Jim Keyes

The market is much stronger now. From an employment standpoint it's growing in a number of different areas, not just high tech. The growth rate is slower and, in my opinion, more sustainable, and the housing market is on very solid footing.

Charles Heimsath

The market share in its stock is a glimpse of the future. This notion of an 80 percent market share floor-based system is probably not sustainable.

Jamie Selway

Hydrogen holds the ultimate long-term promise for clean and sustainable power. In the meantime, both hybrids and ethanol-fueled vehicles can significantly lessen U.S. dependence on imported oil while reducing the impact on our global environment.

Nancy Gioia

This will not be a sustainable advantage going forward. Thus, we must continue to innovate.

Richard Ramlall

I don't think it is financially sustainable the way it is right now.

Rep. Richard Woodbury

We anticipated a budget deficit, so this will give us some breathing space. Because it's a one-time infusion and not a sustainable resource, we are going to be really careful with the money.

Phil Long

I am pleased that we have managed to reach a sustainable agreement that I believe will help the viability of the final salary scheme for our existing staff, while also offering an excellent pensions package for new engineers.

Chris Weston

We live in a world increasingly shaped by sustainable growth issues.

Bjorn Stigson

There's probably a 5 to 10 percent premium in construction costs for a high-performance, sustainable school. For a high school that may cost $50 million, that's a chunk of change.

Tim Dufault

Values-based organizations are the most enduring, the most sustainable and consistent. Yet they remain flexible. Individuals or organizations that twist and turn with every new idea , every change in the direction of the wind, are like ships without rudders. They end up going round in circles, never quite reaching their goals.

Linda Chandler

I believe he's a leader in sustainable energy in this country. He's made energy part of his major platform.

Jim Welch

[But] from an operational perspective, the devil is in the details, ... sustainable.

Transport Canada

The Stateline project is just the sort of sustainable solution we need for the region's energy shortage.

John Kitzhaber

Therefore, sustainable development is the only choice for the country to shift from 'Made in China' to 'Invented in China,' so as to get rid of the tag, 'the world's factory'.

Tian Lipu

This study examines a type of traditional Chinese cave dwellings that can be seen as an example of the most elegant sustainable design solutions that have the least environmental impact.

Jiang Lu

In our perception there is tremendous underlying interest in sustainable production and locally-sourced food which are rightly seen as offering potential solutions to current debates about protecting the environment, food security, animal welfare and other issues.

Patrick Holden

The (Fed's) statement is going to be critical. But the Fed needs to send the message that the economic recovery is on track and sustainable, that Katrina is not going to derail it.

John Waterman

Although we have to face the fact that economic conditions are deteriorating around the world, we confidently expect to continue building sustainable shareholder value.

Martin Broughton

The sharp downtrend is unlikely to be sustainable particularly from year-end onward because of the seasonal factors but the government would still be able to reach around 10 percent figure by year-end.

Anton Gunawan

Double-digit increases in home prices are not sustainable.

Orawin Velz

It's not a sustainable path that we're on right now. There is no one thing that we can do to solve this problem ... it's a whole collection of different things.

Matthew Palmer

I'm very pleased that we achieved our third consecutive year of higher sales and also our third consecutive year of record earnings. Clearly we put in place a platform for solid sustainable growth in both sales and profits.

Mackey Mcdonald

When we have to address an issue, we need to know that the people want us to do it in a sustainable way.

Stephane Dion

There's no doubt that everyone in the industry is experiencing dramatic changes in technology and in the way we work with each other. But by working collaboratively to address intense challenges we can surface innovative, sustainable solutions.

Chris Murphy

This is a solid project that adds certainty to our production profile beyond 2007. The North Sea is important to our overall growth strategy, and Ettrick is a stepping stone to growing a sustainable business in this area.

Charlie Fischer

No nation has made a greater contribution and a more concrete commitment to sustainable development.

Paula Dobriansky

Energy independence is an important strategy for our military. Because our project is powered by the sun, it reduces our dependence on foreign oil. And since energy from the sun is a free, sustainable, renewable resource, it also allows the military to control their energy costs. That's important for tax payers.

Tim Carlson

We knew the kid of appreciation we had been seeing in some markets was not sustainable over the long term.

Mark Milner

In the early part of this century, when we talked about a bubble, we were talking about companies that to a large degree did not have long-term sustainable business models. It is different now. The business models are stronger. There is a lot more meat on the bone.

Rick Summer

Sustainable, engaged, global, responsive and accountable university.

John Peters

This proposal from the Bank does not suggest a strong ambition to re-direct financing away from existing fossil fuel patterns, or to deliver sustainable energy to the two billion people currently without.

Catherine Pearce

This is temporary. Remember that it's not that long ago we were up at 6 percent. You have got an Asia crisis and it is going to create this kind of reaction, but I don't think it is sustainable.

Tim O'neill

A new faculty member, Dr. Lynn Gregory, was hired to strengthen our new major in Public Communication housed in the Department of Community Development and Applied Economics. A new faculty member, Dr. Amy Trubek, was hired to strengthen our curriculum around sustainable food systems in the department of Nutrition and Food Sciences.

Rachel Johnson

They are bleeding and so are most companies and the whole economy is not sustainable.

James Jowa

If the current (U.S. economic) recovery is not sustainable, it could adversely affect earnings results, estimates and/or price target.

Katherine Styponias

Overall growth has been very encouraging. In the last three months we have added more than one million users each month. Clearly, it looks sustainable.

Akhil Gupta

Throughout my discussions I was confident that a way through the problems could be found and that a business case could be made. I'll continue to work with the new company to make sure the project remains viable and has a sustainable future.

Hilary Armstrong

We would like to build a sustainable school facility in each community, provide training to local teachers and supply children with a sufficient amount of educational supplies.

Grant Finster

I think the Fed is hanging its hopes on a couple of things. The bond price has dropped and yields have gone up and it is doing the job for them. . . the economy as a whole is slightly slower in the second quarter than it was in the first. There's hope that it will tail off to a more sustainable rate.

Alan Kral

This study shows us that as we continue to push growth in managed forests, we will have to add not just major nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous, but also minerals such as calcium and potassium to ensure sustainable production.

Daniel Markewitz

Though delivery of superior solutions to our customers and creating sustainable value to the shareholders remain unchanged, we are devising strategies in anticipation of challenges and opportunities to focus on execution for higher operating productivity.

Azim H. Premji

I don't think that kind of number is sustainable, but people are sure reacting positively.

Jeffrey Silber

Putting tourism on a sustainable path is a major challenge, requiring partnership and cooperation within the tourism industry, and between the industry, governments and tourists themselves.

Klaus Toepfer

The upside should be sustainable due to its attractive yield.

Kenny Tang

These spreads levels are not sustainable. Investors are taking positions without correctly assessing risks.

Jaime Valdivia

These projected trends have important implications and lead to a future that is not sustainable from an energy-security or environmental perspective.

Claude Mandil

A humane method does not necessarily mean a pain-free method. It doesn't bother me if, in the process of execution, a person feels some pain. ... The idea that a murderer is entitled to a painless death, which relatively few of us are going to have, I don't think is sustainable.

Kent Scheidegger

We didn't want to experience that again. If the incentive package isn't something that I would call politically sustainable, you'll pay that price later with bad (publicity).

Dennis Cuneo

In our minds it is not a matter of the sky is falling -- it's a matter of reaching that equilibrium point between the supply and demand for housing in the region and positioning us for more sustainable long-term growth.

Greg Paquin

There will be plenty of opportunities to buy these stocks cheaper over the next six months before there is a sustainable recovery.

Alex Vallecillo

The level of incentives in the [auto] industry is not sustainable. [While Detroit has resorted to short-term fixes, like raising prices to cover the incentives, $4,000] is the point of no return. You can't keep offering incentives. People will always ask, 'What's next?'

Mike Chung

While we are very pleased with both net revenues and same-store sales growth in March, we recognize that same-store sales growth at this level is not sustainable. We remain comfortable with our 3 to 7 percent target range for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Michael Casey

We're seeing massive buying in bank stocks on the back of economic optimism. What we need to see is this sort of targeted buying of lenders spreading to other industries. With that we will have further sustainable gains.

Yoshihisa Okamoto

Yahoo! is committed to renewable power as it helps support sustainable, healthy communities for our customers and employees. Santa Clara Green Power gives us the opportunity to work together with the community to reach our common goals.

Meg Garlinghouse

There are signs of cooling in the hottest markets on both coasts and a shift in investor activity from buying to selling, resulting in less demand and increased supply in certain markets. Once these factors work their way through current housing supplies, however, we expect the market to move to a new equilibrium which will provide a platform for continuing and sustainable growth by KB Home.

Bruce Karatz

If we are going to have a sustainable, low-carbon society then we have to have low-carbon (supporting) citizens.

Philip Sellwood

We asked the state that the funding be adequate and on time, and they've managed to do that. But we also need the funding to be predictable and sustainable, and we always worry until they establish a formula and commit themselves to supporting it that there are going to be surprises from year to year.

Jody Siegle

We're focusing on tying all the different pieces together. We won't pursue a project unless we think there is an opportunity to make a sustainable business of it.

Joanna Stevens

This is the biggest threat to that (sustainable trend) in years because if you use chemicals on a vineyard, it's no longer organic.

Jeff Erwin

The redeployment and removal of some roles will simplify our management structure and strip away costs that are no longer sustainable for financial retailers today. And the only way to secure jobs in the long term is to remain efficient and competitive.

Michael Geoghegan

This transformation plan is designed not only to improve the short-term health of these businesses, but also to ensure a future of sustainable, profitable growth.

Charles O. Holliday

Today's proposal signals the Administration's commitment to reforming trade distorting subsidies. The ball is squarely in Congress' court to deliver a fair and sustainable farm program, not just for the U.S. but for the world.

Raymond Offenheiser

The balance of aggregate demand and sustainable supply today and the distinct possibility that labor and product markets will tighten further suggest an unacceptable risk of overheating and, therefore, higher inflation in the future.

Laurence Meyer

The jobs fund acts as a conduit and a catalyst for sustainable development initiatives in the state.

Ellen Kahler

Every day, you can make the decision to have a sustainable product or the cheapest product.

Eli Reich

Losses of the magnitude that Delta recorded in 2005 are not sustainable.

Edward Bastian

Atlanta is in for a treat this St. Patrick's Day. The teamwork by all the groups involved has been exceptional, and we have positioned ourselves for a successful and sustainable regional family festival for 2006 and many years to come.

Fred Moran

In this era of globalization, corporate responsibility is no longer merely about local labor issues, pollution control, or energy efficiency. Sustainable businesses are those that are helping find global solutions to our most pressing environmental and social issues.

Ed Barker

The fact that the Wednesday rally was not sustainable is a cause for concern. It shows that the market does not want a short term solution. Much of the reaction was euphoric.

Elvis Picardo

This rally looks sustainable because the gains are smaller. It is not like you have a 250-point gain in one day, which is hard to keep up.

Elvis Picardo

It is my fervent hope that they don't do the same thing this time. The level of single-family housing growth in Phoenix and Tucson is not sustainable.

Elliott Pollack
