Viktor Mravcik
We believe that California taxpayers deserve the right to independently and privately prepare and file their own taxes. Our concern has been that this program targets predominantly low-income and minority taxpayers who may be put at a disadvantage by getting what looks like a bill from the state.
Julie Miller
Over the past couple of years, our consulting group was really targeted to increase revenue, but we really couldn't differentiate our service from a partner service. It was just very competitive. We've made the decision as a company to have the business model of our services business be a cost-recovery business and to have our primary targets not about increasing revenue or margin.
Jim Sargent
Pursuing previously announced earnings targets despite the challenging fourth quarter and extremely difficult market conditions.
Heinrich Von Pierer

John Mcginnis
Our defense businesses are hitting on all cylinders, having consistently met or exceeded targets for revenue, cash and margin.
Daniel P. Burnham
It's important to teach respect for firearms and how to handle them safely. Shooting at targets combines concentration and relaxation, and you're competing against yourself.
Michelle Gates
Our English learners and Hispanic students, they did not meet their targets, so that's an area where we're doing more work. We're trying to be more strategic, but it's still a matter of time. The students have to have more experience with the language.
Antonio Jimenez
They're moving targets. I don't think anybody in the Senate really has a good sense going into the fight ... [of] what we're going to be voting on.
Bryan Gulley

Taha Yassin Ramadan
We look at it as an opportunity to align our people, technology and investments against strategic growth targets.
Trudy Muller
Better predictive tools will reduce the uncertainties involved in defeating very hard targets and therefore reduce the need for higher-yield weapons to overcome those uncertainties.
Irene Smith
If this happens, it will greatly increase our expected targets.
Ailton Nascimento
If [the target's] average pay is half of the buyer's average pay, guess what—their payroll is going up 50%. All those things need to be allowed for within the projection model in which you value the business, which is all a function of the CFO.
Marco Boschetti
The military has targeted a vulnerable group of young people. We send our children to school to get an education, not to become military targets.
Donna Lieberman
We run a 5-1 offense and Dan is the best setter I've seen thus far in our section. His twin brother and Dan Follett are his favorite targets.
Jeff Beavers
Since there are no (divestment) targets, there is no quantitative impact on any setback to divestment process though it surely sends a signal that reforms continue to be sluggish as ever.
Abheek Barua
It is more a change of attitude. Every investment now has to be measured in market terms against targets and expected return rather than alleviation of poverty.
Peter Walker
Thanks to solid underlying performance during the quarter, we are on track with our financial targets and delivering on our commitments.
Gerard Kleisterlee
This summer I set myself two targets for a successful season. To get to the World Cup with England and to get into Europe with City. I still have every chance of doing that.
David James
We are on or above targets we set.
Alan Mccoy
It's happening faster than the most optimistic targets.
Ross Young
The US does not have to fear that we want to come the next day and say, now you take on Kyoto targets.
Sarah Hendry
Reserves can't have any role in earnings targets or the desire to meet an earnings target.
Thomas Bauer
Further suicide bombings in the UK must be expected, and the targets are unpredictable.
Lord Carlile
This is not a company that's on the ropes, but I think it's struggling to maintain the growth targets it has set for itself.
Cindy Shaw
We met our original 2005 targets which, in view of the special charges throughout the year, is a solid achievement. A strong second half of 2005 has given us a good basis now to enter 2006 and generate further profitable growth.
Fred Kindle
We're just getting to the point where we're having fun. Are we going to set carbon targets? Are we - god forbid in Arizona - going to do something about sprawl? We're going to do our best to get language in that will make a difference.
Roger Clark
The war against terrorism should not be used to interfere with an independent, sovereign state. We need to identify concrete terrorist targets and do no harm to civilians.
Nong Duc Manh
Attackers are starting to move away form your large targets, banks etc. and are going for regional institutions and smaller business. They are also going for charitable sites, like the American Red Cross, which are the most vulnerable and trusting.
Dean Turner
Our analysis of the locals market suggests that this concern is justified, given that it would take 5 percent population growth and 10 percent increased spending per person to grow same store sales 4 percent ... and to reach revenue targets for Red Rock (Resort) and South Coast.
Steve Kent
It's another sign that effective leaders are often big targets.
John Pitney
These incidents are definitely not always out in the open. We found that the targets view the instigators as cunning, that they might choose the setting for this to happen where they know others won't be able to see it.
Christine Pearson
Look at some of the targets these people had. They don't carry any weight anymore.
Seth Tobias
We do what needs to be done to achieve our earnings targets.
Klaus Kleinfeld
We are the immediate targets. They are going to take away our passports. I'm sure of that.
Paul Themba Nyathi
It's always a percentage based on a target system. You have plant targets, department targets and personal targets. It's not like everybody gets $1,000 or everybody gets $10,000.
Bunny Richardson
We are working hard on some of the advanced technologies ... but the development and deployment of technology does not fit with rigid targets and timetables.
Harlan Watson
We know the Bay Area will be hit by a major quake some time in the next few decades, and we are one of the top terrorist targets. Transportation around the area is hindered by (San Francisco Bay) but we can turn that into an advantage by efficient use of our ferry system.
Michael Cunningham
This buoyancy makes us hope we'll proudly overshoot our targets, though we don't want to revise the official target.
Vinnie Mehta
She skied really fast. She missed 10 targets, which is quite a lot, but she was 10 minutes out, so she skied right there with the top people. That's good for her to see that.
Tracy Barnes
You've only got to imagine what would happen here in Australia, with shopping centres and restaurants - they're fairly easy targets.
Peter Hughes
We have five targets out there. Anyone can step it up. We can't do it without teamwork. We all went out and did our jobs.
Ashleigh Tondo
The joint venture structure allows us to judiciously use our cash resources and to maximize our shareholders' value by obtaining a strong return through our management fee and minority interest, which includes a provision for enhanced returns based on exceeding certain targets.
Bill Sheriff
The level of optimism of companies coming out of July and August is reasonable. It's easier to beat August sales targets since they are traditionally quite low.
Barry Randall
The industrial shutdown targets small automakers that can't maintain production or sustain market demand and who don't have enough research and development capability to support future development.
Jia Xinguang
We exceeded all of our operational and financial targets, smoothly integrated the acquisitions of Specialty Defense and Bianchi International, and effectively leveraged our asset purchases from Second Chance.
Robert Schiller
It's strictly supply and demand. These drivers know they can walk out of here tomorrow and get a job with any number of carriers that are supplying the Wal-Marts and the Targets.
Bob Farley
We had some drives going, we had some targets open and he just overthrew the ball. But in his defense, the protection broke down a little, too. When that happens, you lose vision real quick.
Avery Cutshaw
Fifty caliber sniper rifles were designed as battlefield rifles to destroy aircraft, puncture armor, attack fuel depots and other material targets, and to be used for assassination due to the rifle's astonishing range and firepower.
Thom Mannard
What we looked at is a conventional ICBM that has the inherent capability of a [nuclear] ICBM, with its accuracy, speed and range, ... Those military characteristics are attractive for a particular set of targets.
Lance Lord
We're making fun of people who pick ridiculous targets to blame anything about what's going on in their lives, so Canada was just the perfect, ridiculous, innocuous choice for a target.
Marc Shaiman
We are also setting high targets to eliminate pollution concerns and engines' impact on the environment.
Antoine Herteman
What the (U.S.) Supreme Court and the nation have noticed is that when you are trying to single out and protect people who have been targets of bullying and violence it's necessary to enumerate categories.
Rebecca Steele
It's the wee, quiet families that are suffering, they're the targets, they're the easy targets - the Home Office knows where they are, they are the least likely to abscond and the least likely to put up resistance.
Kathleen Marshall
The Kyoto protocol doesn't amount to much in terms of emissions reductions but at least it breaks the curve (of rising emissions) among countries that have accepted its targets.
Steve Sawyer
It targets parents and students who have no other alternative to put their children in good schools. I think the proposal is harder to oppose this time around.
Tracy Edge
It is going to get harder for everybody. The targets will stay flat through 2007, but after that, they are going to go up dramatically. After that, it is going to be really hard for schools statewide to make it.
Bill Padia
We have said for the last couple of weeks that we have seen the enemy starting to attack soft targets, Iraqi targets, rather than military targets, ... He is attempting to intimidate the people of Iraq. He will not succeed.
Mark Kimmitt
We continue to be interested, we continue to see targets, we continue to analyze and look at opportunities. We do want to invest (in wealth management), ... We do have room for buying back (more shares), but the first priority remains to invest in the business.
Peter Wuffli
These are people who are seen to be relatively powerless, invisible, easy targets for hate and . . . heavily stigmatized and misunderstood.
Lelia Deandrade
A lot more of them should have played in this past game because they could have been just as effective. But it didn't matter because we couldn't hit targets, so it didn't matter who was in out there.
Jeff Bowden
Our backs have to hit the hole hard. Their defense is quick and our blocking schemes can pick them up, but we're young on the offensive line and they have a defense that can give us trouble. We have to stay on our pads and keep our eyes open. They're moving targets.
Rusty Jester
Leaders of the enemy should know that they personally are targets.
Islamic Jihad
If they analyze the situation as thoroughly as they should, Muslims will realize they are the first targets. What are the fundamentalists really after? Simply taking over Islam and then turning its back on modernity.
Alexander Haig
As we build new schools, the classes will be constructed to adhere to the class size reduction targets. And as we build additions those classes must be built to adhere the class size reduction targets.
Nat Harrington
They're big targets, it's nice to throw to them. I'm very happy. It brings a whole new dimension to our offense that we haven't had in the past. It makes it a lot harder for teams to defend us.
Thomas Bradley
That's the attraction of these targets. Everybody has to use them to get to work on a daily basis, even in Israel.
Bruce Hoffman
We kind of worked on our offense and things that we need to do real well. We were moving the hitters around and different targets. It was a good match for us.
Joe Sanders
They all have goals and everybody wants to make their targets for the week.
Robert Coleman
Cost-reduction targets sound good on paper but achieving many of them will require UAW cooperation.
Jonathan Steinmetz
The critical thing is that no two situations are alike. Depending on where you are in Africa, the Middle East or Asia, laws and medical care are very different. We strive to make sure that travelers have the same information we as diplomats have. Americans and Western interests are targets, and Americans should be aware of that.
Angela Aggeler
It's unfortunate, but it really doesn't have any impact on us. We are focused. We still have thousands of vehicles we need to build and meet our targets.
Kerry Christopher
The market drifted today. A lot of people were not in. People are concerned over profit warnings, missed revenue targets and that sort of thing.
Irwin Michael
We have taken the leadership role we promised last year. This is by pushing for concrete targets and timetables.
Michael Curtis
Those targets are generally what everyone gets in a good year -- not a bad year, not a great year -- a good year.
Bill Coleman
We are seen as legitimate targets, as part of the problem rather than the solution, according to the insurgents.
Michael Ware
The strong momentum we've built in recent years continued through the first quarter. We exceeded our growth targets, made significant investment in our businesses, and overcame continued cost pressures. These results again demonstrate the strength and flexibility of our business model.
Jim Jenness
I believe it is essential that we close the security gaps that put our nation at risk, and I will continue to fight for the funding that will secure high-risk targets, such as our ports and borders.
Mark Pryor
We had a few turnovers early on and our goal was to minimize those. Later we did a good job of showing patience and not forcing shots and passes. We made some nice east-west passes and we were able to hit the high targets. We have some speedy players on the high targets and if we don't force it, we get some great shots.
Stacey Freda
This missile is extremely accurate. It will reduce the number of munitions needed for any given targets and its vertical impact makes it the weapon of choice when collateral damage is a concern.
Derrick Edwards
I think you should pay attention to people's recommended asset allocation and you should put less emphasis on the targets.
Thomas Mcmanus
It's much too early to start talking about targets for developing countries.
Marthinus Van Schalkwyk
Spirit and Opportunity are approaching targets that a year ago seemed well out of reach. Their successes strengthen NASA's commitment to a vision with the ambitious targets of returning samples from Mars and sending human explorers to Mars.
Doug Mccuistion
IBM continues to believe that it can hit consensus EPS targets. In a deteriorating environment, this undeniably represents a solid showing.
Thomas Kraemer
The Supreme Court of the nation has noticed that when you're trying to protect people who have been targets of bullying and violence, it is necessary to enumerate categories. The reason is so people are given notice, concretely, of what behavior they can and cannot do.
Becky Steele
Target's Global Bazaar collection is competing well with Pier 1 in similar merchandise.
Anthony Chukumba
That's where I think Colorado is benefiting, perhaps at a disproportionate rate to what is going on nationally. Also, you've got a lot of targets in Colorado because of the supportive environment that is fostered by VC inflows into these entrepreneurial companies.
Chris Haymons
I think we are in a correction that was way overdue. There has been tremendous complacency by strategists about the Asia problem and even up until last week everyone was raising their targets. The Asia problem is real.
Charles Pradilla
The UK can meet its targets for tackling climate change and maintain fuel security by using clean, safe alternatives that are already available.
Tony Juniper
We're seeing greenhouse gas emissions rise under this government. We're seeing this government now not talking about targets, talking about technology instead.
Caroline Lucas
We had another year of record results and exceeded all of our 2005 targets.
Rick Waugh
In a time when his party almost never exceeded 51 percent of the seats in the House, he was able time and again to command the discipline to deliver. He was always playing on the edge, and people who play on the edge, and are effective, become targets.
Charles O. Jones
The poll gives immigrants the first chance to participate in the debate rather than be targets of the debate. The country's top dozen ethnic media dailies -- along with the major in-language broadcast network -- published the results simultaneously on Monday, Mar. 27 in a coordinated effort to ensure that these key voices are part of the national discourse.
Sandy Close
There is little evidence that mandatory emissions caps actually work. For example, since signing the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, which mandates the reduction of carbon emissions, both Canada and Greece have seen a nearly 25 percent increase in emissions. According to the European Environment Agency, 13 EU nations that signed onto the Kyoto Protocol are on track to miss their 2010 emissions targets.
Harry Alford
The targets included terrorist training camps, military airfields, and air defenses.
Geoffrey Hoon
On pricing, absolutely, we are going to be competitive. Obviously these are the devices we have high targets for.
Niklas Savander
2005 has seen another robust performance by our Grocery business with our drive brands growing strongly and our operating margins improving in line with our targets.
Robert Schofield
Government will need to start thinking unconventionally about achieving its targets, or (it) may have to acknowledge that the targets are a bit ambitious.
Mike Schussler
They're doing the right things and getting in the right areas. The professional builder market is a $400 billion-plus market. When you're the second-largest retailer, if you want to continue to grow you have to continue to go after really large targets.
Marvin Roffman
This is a more shrink-wrapped approach for the concept of grid computing that targets a more modest area of use.
Jonathan Eunice
It would have triggered an immediate attempt to gather every piece of information we could about the plan, the targets.
Harry Samit
Travels with Amigo targets ESL students and helps us make connections with parents. It is a nice way to bring what is going on at home into our schools.
Jennifer Ostrowski
We are happy to be on track with our targets. As we continue to improve efficiency and implement debottleneck-ing, we are confident that we will be able to achieve our production forecasts for the year.
Bruce Anderson
We are appalled, ... James Sherwood has made a good living out of Harry's Bar, but now our hands are tied and it's a very difficult situation to be in. As a major shareholder, Sherwood could put restrictions on us. He could set us management targets and suchlike until the very essence of Harry's Bar is ripped apart.
Robin Birley
We should commit resources, as we did to conquer polio in the fifties. We could quadruple the Alzheimer's budget and not saturate all clinical trials and possible targets. If we don't there will be hell to pay in twenty years.
John Trojanowski
If consumer confidence holds steady, and consumers spend the money from tax cuts, and once business see a clear sign of a rebound in sales, then around September or October, they're going to budget and change their targets for capital spending. Then, it takes a couple of months to hire people and get set up.
Rajeev Dhawan
Sportsmen are soft targets, especially over in South Africa.
Ollie Le Roux
Personally, I don't think he is a serial killer but just a thief, an ordinary thief who has been attacking soft targets such as women. And I don't think he was operating alone, there may be others like him, but of course we are investigating that and we shall come to the bottom of it.
David Magara
We do what needs to be done to achieve our earnings targets, ... Only successful businesses can secure and create jobs.
Klaus Kleinfeld
This is very consistent with Citigroup's strategy to build and internationalize its key businesses and also to focus on businesses it thinks it can grow at a very rapid pace. Over the past 10 years, [Associates First] has had 23 percent compound growth in pre-tax earnings and a high growth operation ... which is consistent with Citibank's focus on acquiring high-growth targets.
Judah Kraushaar
We fully support the strikes against terrorist targets, not against the country, not against the culture, not against a religion, but against an enemy of them all.
Ricardo Lagos
We're seeing some very deliberate attacks against some high profile targets right now, to showcase the talent of the attacker, so they can get work for the Russian mafia or whoever it may be.
Paul Vixie
They're being profiled, ... Over and over, our artists are targets only to be later found not guilty. Like (Sean) 'Puffy' (Combs).
Benjamin Chavis
She killed seven men in cold blood, ... She didn't premeditate the individual killing. She had a pattern, and she took targets of opportunity ... just whoever happened in her path on the day that she decided to kill.
John Tanner
They have a strategy that targets every conceivable private opportunity in the world. What they're doing has never been done before on this scale. They are the pioneers.
David Snow
There is no front line in Iraq. Individuals who are patrolling the streets will be at higher risk of being involved in combat, but folks who are largely located at one base are also targets of mortar and artillery, and everyone in convoys is a target.
Col. Charles Hoge
Words of Muslims are important. It's important for people to know that Muslims think that terrorism is the epitome of injustice because it targets innocent people. People need to hear those words, and they're more credible from Muslims themselves.
Karen Hughes
There has (long) been empathy among Jordanians for insurgent strikes against military targets in Iraq, particularly against U.S. forces.
Mustafa Hamarneh
It's very fast. You turn on a G protein, and it immediately targets the mechanism to modify release.
Simon Alford
The current crop of very talented juniors is a testament to the long-term foundations provided at the grassroots level and the sport will be able to build on this platform by boosting participation, increasing the talent pool helping to prepare future champions to reach our medal targets in 2008 and 2012.
David Moorcroft
Countries are not on track to reach even their modest Kyoto targets, despite growing recognition that we are already facing dramatic consequences as a result of climate change.
Catherine Pearce
If the targets continue to be specific industries such as financial firms and airlines, it's not clear that another terror attack will have strong ripple effects through the rest of the economy.
Dorsey Farr
The German government supports all measures which help to fight this scourge of the international community. This is particularly the case for the attacks the U.S. carried out yesterday on targets in Afghanistan and S}dan.
Helmut Kohl
They generally defined what these moves would be and some general targets to reach, but we're far from complete with the details, It looks like they got barely enough.
David Toung
At the celebration at the Shiite shrine, a cleric gave a scathing speech in the mosque's courtyard. He lashed out at the first Muslim caliphs, the founding fathers of Islam in Sunni eyes, and usurpers of power in Shiite eyes. Though he couched his attacks in the context and vocabulary of early Islamic history, it was clear that he had much more contemporary targets in his metaphorical crosshairs.
Correspondent Charles Levinson
A lot of our young people are targets for adults who are exploiting them, and they see any action by adults trying to help them as an assault on them. I wanted to help them.
Dwayne Baskerville
Last year, oil prices were really high so there was no problem meeting targets.
Joydeep Mukherji
Far from being easy targets for exploitation, emerging markets are generating a wave of disruptive product and process innovations that are helping established companies and a new generation of entrepreneurs to achieve new price-performance levels for a range of globally traded goods and services. Eventually, such companies may capture significant market share in Europe and the United States.
John Seely Brown
The proposal represents one of Europe's most effective commercial banks seeking to continue exporting its know-how to markets where these skills can accelerate growth at targets. BNP expands this way worldwide.
Simon Maughan
We go through an unbelievable amount of paper targets each year. We have hundreds of kids shooting each year.
Bud Bowman
[Another browser, Opera, has also gained, especially in Europe.] The incumbents are vulnerable, ... Today, those are the juiciest targets.
David Cowan
Related government bodies should come up with more practical targets of China's gas power development.
Wang Yonggan
A break of 6.20/dollar this week looks inevitable as euro/dollar buying on dips targets 1.2630 then 1.2690. Technical support below 6.20 is at 6.15.
Caroline Gorman
We are not disclosing these targets at this time.
Carlos Brito
Mandatory reporting is something we need to get started on as soon as possible. You can't make targets if you don't have anything to measure.
Terry Tamminen
The company has moved a lot of its production abroad and that should help it increase future profit margins and keep its growth targets.
Patrizio Pazzaglia
The Japanese have indicated that despite the fact that they share the Kyoto targets and they want the protocol enforced by 2002, they are not, at present, willing to conclude the deal without the U.S.
Margot Wallstrom
Target's increased emphasis on providing consumers with trend-right merchandise has strengthened the retail chain's presence as a destination for apparel.
Jeffrey Klinefelter
There might be transactions involving smaller companies that probably represent more available targets than the networks because they're so hard to pry loose from their strong owners.
Tom Burnett
They will be shooting targets in all different patterns, ... The fastest horse and best shooter wins. It's very entertaining. We have people all the way from 6 to 70 years old entered, and there will be people from 27 states here next week.
Jim Rodgers
This is ridiculous. It shows that GPs are having to engage far more in satisfying local bureaucracies rather than their patients. This is yet more evidence of doctors being under pressure to live in this bogus world of targets met and targets set, when from the patient's point of view the service hasn't improved.
Andrew Lansley
The real unknown for generators and for the petrochemical and cement industries is the allocation method that will be used for carbon allowances in phase two from 2008 onwards, the critical period for meeting the Kyoto targets.
Mark Klein
There's just more targets out there for bank robbers to hit.
Frank Bochte
Overall, some performance results fell short of the targets we agreed to achieve in 2005.
Derek Mcluckey
Everything -- all sources, all methods, all techniques, all targets.
David Major
It's not passé. A number of central banks have been given inflation targets by their governments and I think that's appropriate because governments are elected and must explain their choices to the electorate.
Tito Mboweni
The new Bali attacks after the London attacks show the resiliency of terrorists to strike targets when our guard is down.
Gloria Arroyo
In addition, on the issue of grade compression, employees who meet or exceed their performance targets will receive an additional fixed amount to their basic salaries if their annual salaries fall below a specified threshold.
Charlotte Mokoena
We believe several of the company's assets/divisions may be attractive acquisition targets given their growth prospects and the relative ease to which they could be separated from the larger business.
Sarah Thompson
I think Target's going to continue to take share even from companies like Kohl's and J.C. Penney.
Michael Koskuba
But at this time we have no information regarding a specific imminent attack against civilian or religious targets.
Giuseppe Pisanu
They met their own lowered targets. What is worrying is their reluctance to spell out where the market is going.
Chris Doyle
Although the FBI is legally forbidden from monitoring the communications of citizens who are not targets under Carnivore, the mere knowledge that government agents have the technical capacity to read e-mail messages will greatly increase the uncertainty of innocent citizens.
Jeffrey Rosen
We are the targets because we are the strong pillar that holds the nation ... If we break, the whole institution, the whole organization collapses.
Tristan Kison
[But Panke acknowledged that the Mini's profit margins would be lower than that of other BMW cars in its first life cycle. BMW model life cycles are generally seven years.] We will not hit our usual profitability targets in the Mini's first life cycle, ... But we won't lose any money either.
Helmut Panke
There are a lot of people who are skeptical and need convincing. What we want to know is what their updated growth targets will be.
Jon Wright
Until now we have not had a close-up view of the precise surface where the two proteins interact. That surface is absolutely crucial in permitting the parasite to enter the cell. If we can determine its features in atomic detail, we may be able to find weak points that could make good targets for drugs.
Amit Sharma
This drug is a good example of the potential of developing drugs with very specific biological targets in mind. But this experience also reminds us that there are a lot of hidden icebergs in the ocean we're navigating, and we're going to bump up against those icebergs and have to work out ways to navigate around them.
David Clifford
The fundamentals for big pharmaceutical firms are fine. Cash is fine to support growth, and earnings are meeting the targets. I think investors are taking some of that for granted and ignoring it.
David Saks
I do not look at it as shot across the bow to (Target's) competitors, ... To me, there are limited properties in Abington that can use a program like this. Quite frankly, we're running out of them. Whether it makes Target come here or not, I don't really know.
Joseph Murray
It's high poverty. It's high English-language learners. It's a school with many challenges, and still they made their targets. We'll look at their successes.
Renae Dreier
I think with these projections the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] will be in a good position to reach the people most in need of the vaccine and additional targets as well.
Alison Marquiss
Listed companies have to get to grips with this, particularly because you need people to buy shares for investment and if you miss targets the share price will fall.
Steve Pearce
The biggest problem has been increased competition from retailers like Target. In my opinion, Target's home furnishing offerings are as good if not better than Pier 1's and more competitively priced.
Anthony Chukumba
Many clinical priorities aren't recorded and some targets, like A&E and GP bookings, create more problems than they solve.
Andrew Lansley
By setting binding limits, the bill will make the governor's targets real.
Devra Wang
They're supposed to be working up an action plan with targets and timetables and the means of implementation. We can talk about partnerships after they've done that.
Steve Sawyer
It is all very well for the government to trumpet the merits of technology in reducing carbon emissions, but it simply isn't enough; we need robust, measurable targets, not just vague aspirations.
Norman Baker
From our interrogation, it was revealed that Bangalore and Hyderabad were among the top targets.
Ajay Kumar
If I had known there was an entire day-care center, it might have given me pause to switch targets. That's a large amount of collateral damage.
Timothy Mcveigh
It's important to keep in mind that these tax credits are credits against Dell tax payments that wouldn't exist without significant investment from Dell. In the case of North Carolina, it's a performance basis. Dell doesn't get tax credits unless we meet job creation targets. . . . That's good for Dell and good for North Carolina.
Colleen Ryan
This seems to be another indication that growth targets may be too aggressive. It's more expensive to attract new customers. On the other hand, retaining and developing them typically requires investments in systems, employees and processes that bankers emerging from expense management strategies may not yet be comfortable with.
Piercarlo Gera
If we're confronted with targets on the ground in Canada, we're going to do what we have to do.
Jack Hooper
Given how high the market is, if there's anyone missing their targets, they're really going to be hammered in a big way.
James Holt
More large-scale projects and infrastructure construction following the 11th Five-Year Plan contributed to the rising loans. Besides, Chinese banks, which are eager to meet their business targets for this year, are also giving out more loans.
Wang Yuanhong
I think we'll continue to see them (be targets), ... There's so many of them, and they're open at the right time of day and ... there's money there.
