It's a very important message to get out because this is a long-term trend, and it's not going to go away. The cross-your-fingers, close-your-eyes and hope-for-the-best strategy that we used for [Hurricane] Katrina isn't good enough. We need to assess the risk and figure out how to manage it.

Judy Curry

[Former Harvard University president Derek Bok lamented this very trend in his 2003 book,] Universities in the Marketplace: The Commercialization of Higher Education. ... one dubious venture after another in the hope of gaining added revenue.

Robert Whiteley

Pat Brogan

There's a trend towards fairness, not only in the decision making, but also in polling [residents] state-by-state.

Samiya Bashir

It's kind of hard to get a good feel for whether the glass is half empty or half full right now. Until some other trend shows itself - shows a confirmation one way or the other in terms of how to look at these numbers - it's difficult to get a good read on whether we should be reading this in a negative sense or a positive sense.

Bret Mayborne

It looks as though there's been a change, but two points do not make a trend. We will have to calculate rates, using 100,000 passenger days, in order to really effect a comparison. We will be doing that.

Dave Forney

The taboo is gone; the trend has been endorsed culturally.

Karen Grant

Bruce T. Lahn

MOTOR TREND holds a distinctive place in the landscape of automotive journalism. It is a strong and influential publication that is poised for tremendous growth. It is the right time for Ira to take MOTOR TREND to the next level.

Richard Norland

Our studies indicate that the trend that is the defining characteristic of human evolution - the growth of brain size and complexity - is likely still going on.

Bruce T. Lahn

Wine and spirits are outperforming beer, ... It's been a reversal of a decade-long trend.

Benj Steinman

Nick Grouf

We do see the slightest trend. Our winters are getting slightly wetter each year.

Randall Osterhuber

It's pretty much a constant trend. Year after year after year, (technical colleges) have the largest increase, so they are slowly becoming a larger share of the bill, and they are contributing more to the overall increase than you would think.

Todd Berry

The idea, most importantly, is it's a cooperative relationship and it's a flexible one. If we see a certain trend or certain need and we think that we can respond to it in the right way as a result of the relationships that we have developed, we'll give it consideration.

Michael Vallone

The market is just waiting for the outcome of the meeting at this point, but the trend is to assume that a hike has been priced in after recent losses.

Cheney has really stepped up for us offensively. She seems extremely confident up at the plate and if she can continue that trend in conference we should be successful.

Burton Greenwald

We're dirty pop. It's a trend now, but we were the first ones to do it!

Justin Timberlake

We don't think the increase of 10% in sales represents a trend that we will see for the full year. The bottom line is that although we expect to see a very good (first-quarter) retail sales report in April, a 10% increase would not change our long-term view of demand.

Robin Farley

I wouldn't say that's spectacular, but I would say it's on trend, especially considering the shocks like energy-price increases.

Cushing Anderson

Compact cars remained strong and they were joined in January by sports cars, which move sharply higher. Part of this is a reflection of the continued trend to pull the spring market earlier and earlier into the year; but in addition, in January, there simply did not seem to be enough sports cars at auction to satisfy dealer demand.

Tom Webb

I don?t see anything long-term to suggest lower prices. We may see some fluctuations around the trend, but the trend will be rising oil prices.

The efficiencies are there with greater size. As the trend picks up then the rest of the companies and regulators will see the need for the rest of the industry to consolidate and share in the economies of scale.

Barry Abramson

The trend is positive, ... Four more points this year and 55 points over the last five years, which is remarkable, a testament to our teachers and students. When you look at a five-year period, you see the difference that is being made.

John Phillips

We bucked the recent trend of lower second-half results. We see two reasons for that: improved market conditions and improved risk efficiency.

David Sidwell

However, we see the trend of R&D moving gradually to the mainland over these few years, depending on the maturity of the engineers there.

The general trend is that attackers aren't concentrating on 'far and wide,' worms, but on financial gain.

Cai Ying

[March's report] didn't meet the markets' worst fears, and on those grounds I view it as somewhat bullish, ... I don't really see any discernable sign that job growth is slowing. The underlying trend is still extremely robust job growth, which will lead the Fed to raise rates again.

The longer-term up-trend in the index is intact. Inventories are extremely lean, global growth is firming and there are mounting unfilled orders.

The dollar has been drawing buyers since late last week, and there's no change in that trend ahead of the FOMC.

Takeshi Iba

I'll be watching that closely over the next three or four months to see if that is the trend.

Steve Mcguire

Live/work units are more difficult to secure mortgages on because the proportion of the property given over to commercial use is typically much higher. However, they are a growing trend and lenders have to adapt. Halifax, for instance, says it is happy to lend on live/work units on a case by case basis.

Nick Gardner

It's usually not about the money. There are times in the economic cycle when people like to say they paid a lot of money for a house and then there are times when getting a good deal is a trend.

Dianne Saatchi

I think it's a unique vehicle. Fun to drive. Different. That's the trend. People want them.

The news here for us is the progress, the trend line, the strong upward tilt of the numbers.

That's a pretty disturbing trend in terms of the red knot's long-term outlook.

Martin Mchugh

While some people might question the importance of a correction that changes the long-term trend by only 0.035ºC per decade, for us the most important thing is to produce a climate dataset that is as accurate and reliable as humanly possible.

John Christy

It has slowed some, but the trend is still down.

Chris Dancy

Effective role-based search applications will use technologies that uncover trending, comparison, discovery and determination of sentiment, which will then feed into applications that present the information using visualization and analytics.

Shannon Sullivan

Earnings are expected to be good, and whether you see a stock reaction right away or not, we're still in an upward trend overall, powered by the earnings, the lower interest rates, the tax cuts and the improving economy.

Jon Burnham

I'd hate to think people are relying on data brokers, the people who have compromised their identity in the first place, to somehow be the guardians of their identity. It's a very troubling trend.

Pam Dixon

The major trend is a cleaning-up. It's not quite the minimalism of the '90s. It's more refined. We've had season after season of all this embellishment, the ruffled gypsy skirts, the colors. It's nice to see a woman in a white shirt. I think it's as sexy as anything.

George Sharp

That was the beginning of a pretty significant trend in Texas that moved away from the state being a good place for class actions.

Jerry Clements

The trend for leisure fares has been upward all summer (averaging 16% more than a year ago), and it's continuing through the fall.

Bob Harrell

I'd say there's only a 25 percent chance of a rate hike in June even. Even with another strong jobs report Friday, they'll want to have something that looks more definitely like a trend.

Bill Cheney

Perhaps this is signaling a reversal of the longer-run trend of the breeding herd moving away from the eastern Corn Belt. In 1990, 27 percent of the U.S. breeding herd was in the eastern Corn Belt. That portion declined steadily to a low of only 17.2 percent in 2004.

Chris Hurt

Although weaker than expected, interpretation of the release is clouded by the unusual drop in food sales in August and, as is often the case, the MPC will be waiting for the next month's release to get a better picture of the underlying trend.

Gwyn Hacche

The market had been on a bearish trend. This (data) does little to change any views.

Michael Pond

There could be some upward pressure on the interest rate given the current liquidity conditions in the market and if this trend persists for a longer time.

Ak Purwar

Momentum-St. Louis has been experiencing an annual growth trend of over 30 percent in the past three years, thanks to the addition of new, global clients. We have been eyeing the perfect location to give staff a little more creative interaction.

Bill Schmidt

This is one of the first fully integrated ZLD systems on FGD wastewater streams in the United States. It is clearly indicative of a future trend in the industry and demonstrates the good corporate citizenship programs that today's coal-fired power plants are willing to pursue in generating cleaner power.

Manoj Sharma

The truck numbers are down, but I don't think the market will be worried about that too much given the pipeline of new (truck) products from Ford due very soon. Should the trend for Ford continue, as these new truck products get launched, then the market would be more concerned.

Michael Pak

I was surprised that we could see an upward trend in such a short time among overweight children and obese men.

Cynthia Ogden

I think the trend has changed since yesterday afternoon, when investors started focusing on individual stocks, instead of the market as a whole.

Koji Muneoka

We've seen a trend in the marketplace for customers who are really looking for a more lightweight ESB product.

Sandy Carter

We're still in a negative trend. Long-term interest rates are too high, earnings estimates are still too high. We've had seven out of eight down weeks, so we saw a little bounce in the beginning of this week. But the downward pressure hasn't eased.

Robert Bloom

What you see here is a clear trend. FPL's business is about 80-90 per cent regulated, and Constellation's is about 75 per cent unregulated.

Mark Williams

The biggest trend last year was the accelerated growth of the diet sodas.

John Sicher

The Internet, cable TV, and computer games, account for much more of the trend away from books.

Jeff Abraham

I've discovered this trend in popular criticism that because our first record was such a -- critical darling ... that now people are hesitant to give us too many accolades. We didn't know exactly how we needed to change. But we knew from the experience from 'Room on Fire' where people, where critics mainly, were saying that it was sonically too similar to the first record, we needed to step up.

Fabrizio Moretti

You can't just put PC parts into a cell phone, following the trend of convergence, because mobility has some unique challenges.

Bob Iannucci

The rise is very clearly a follow-up action after the early fall yesterday. But markets were thin, probably as institutional investors were absent, and the trend will be clear only on Tuesday, when the market reopens.

Arun Kejriwal

The trend we're seeing is lots of travel with kids, grandkids and nieces and nephews. Hotels are really offering packages for families. As a group, those travelers may have been ignored at one time, but after the events of 9-11, people want family and unity.

Tia Gordon

We're thrilled. This reverses a trend of decreases in (research and development). It shows that solar plays an important role in our energy mix.

Rhone Resch

This is a worrying trend for future adult oral health, as this is occurring despite nearly every child and adolescent using dental services in the last two years, mostly at a school dental service clinic.

John Spencer

Any additional rate increases would need to be precipitated by higher inflation or above-trend growth.

Amitabh Arora

I think the key in the market is technology, because what has been giving us this extraordinary earnings growth is spectacular earnings growth from a lot of tech companies. They are telling us the second half is going to be slower. So I think the broader market earnings trend is going to be not sharply down, but trending down.

Douglas Cliggott

Given that the margins are that high, it's probably going to be a trend that continues.

Hal Halpin

When times are busy, fees tend to trend up in Asia.

Kalpana Desai

White is a trend unto itself. From very pure, stark white to ecru, you can look at white as an entire color family. White is the neutral of the season against which all other colors are paired.

Gregg Andrews

We're having a bit of consolidation as the dollar strengthens a bit. But there's no change in the trend, and the gold market will continue to show strength.

Alastair Mcintyre

The North American IPv6 Task Force believes that cost is too high. If a customer puts in a new MPLS network and runs IPv6 over it, is that network an IPv6 cost or the cost of technology evolution? We cannot for the life of us figure out how a technology trend is going to cost $1 billion a year. That just doesn't make sense.

Jim Bound

If the job data is stronger than expected, people will expect a longer rising trend in interest rate.

Louis Wong

Certainly, the trend has been toward legislatures passing bills that would require some sort of paper.

Dan Seligson

The one-time cost reduction employers experience as their workers move into less expensive plans has been masking the underlying cost trend. Migration out of indemnity plans slowed to a trickle last year, so we're finally seeing real trend reflected in the national cost figures.

Blaine Bos

Fundamentals right now are bearish. Supplies are building really quickly. The trend is definitely to be lower, at least going into the second quarter.

Alexandre Kervinio

The pleasing business trend in the first two months of 2006 justifies our optimism.

Werner Wenning

We saw some support at 120.70 yen, with the higher dollar/yen trend still in place and any kind of pullback should be relatively shallow.

Nick Bennenbroek

The economy could get back to an above trend rate this quarter, and that is what will matter to monetary policy makers.

Joseph Lavorgna

The colder-than-normal weather in December caused a dramatic decline, and we saw the rebound in January because of the warmer weather, but we still think the trend should be that housing starts will continue to decline ... about 5% this year.

Orawin Velz

Obviously, not everybody needs three laundries, and I wouldn't call that a trend. But it's a nice touch.

Alex Hannigan

It's definitely a growing trend.

Brian Moody

Despite the weakness of the past two months, the general underlying trend for the economy is still higher. The data still point to strength in the manufacturing sector, and upcoming orders appear strong.

Rob Palombi

We believe that the PC environment hasn't improved, and visibility still remains quite poor, ... We expect this trend to continue through the first half of 2001. As a result, we expect pricing pressure to continue between Intel and AMD through Labor Day, as weak end demand and inventory overhang continue to push both companies down the slippery slope of pricing as the only means of leverage.

Charlie Glavin

A few years ago you couldn't find a star who wasn't baring her navel. One thing that's so interesting (about the trend) is how beauty and sexuality can be conveyed through a lot of clothes as opposed to few clothes. That's something women can learn from.

Sally Singer

This is a trend that employers are very interested in because they want to stay away from negligent hiring suits, ... There are legal ramifications [to bringing on employees with red flags], but the prime motivator for most employers is to make an informed hiring decision.

Bill Hart

Good earnings are the main support for European markets. We're seeing positive surprises and this will underpin a continuation of the upside trend.

Jean Borjeix

The underlying trend for our industry over the next decade should be strong. What we've seen in the past couple of quarters is bookings have been picking up.

Jim Morgan

The narrowing rate differential is bad for the Australian dollar. The trend is going to be down as the U.S. Fed keeps raising rates.

Rob Henderson

The U.S market closed higher on Thursday and we are following that trend, but I think things will settle down in the new year.

Ferdi Heyneke

Heavy investments by Japanese firms, aimed at boosting their overseas operations and businesses, are now beginning to yield huge returns for them and this trend will not come to an end in the foreseeable future.

Osamu Katano

It's a trend. A lot more people are leaving than coming in.

Larry O'toole

Investing to me is all about common sense, ... When you hear about one trend, you see how it applies to many sectors.

Frank Gannon

There is a tremendous amount of money chasing venture investments everywhere. As long as the returns are there, the venture business is going to get a bigger piece of the pie. We think that trend is definitely going to continue.

Tracy Lefteroff

Strong jobs data will certainly further raise expectations for Fed rate hikes in March and the months after that. The U.S. economy still seems robust and the dollar's upward trend is likely to continue.

Yuji Saito

It has been trending upwards over the past 150 years since the industrial revolution.

Julia Langer

The pace of review has quickened, which creates dynamism. There's no indication of a market trend going back east. Besides, if we think we have a hold on business just because of geography, then we're only real-estate agents.

David Murphy

I think both in the U.S. and in Europe we are going to have a good first half until the trend in earnings growth peters out.

Anais Faraj

The base of global growth is strengthening and broadening overseas. It looks like we're picking up the pace and we're moving back into above-trend growth rates.

David Hensley

I think it is entirely a U.S. trend, and you should look at how the legal system has changed in your country over the last few years.

Theo De Raadt

It used to be our kids would come in here and follow us, but that's not the trend anymore. I just think it'd be nice if General Motors could get everything together, get it fixed and get going again.

Michael Mccoy

The spirit Harley-Davidson signifies is the pursuit of freedom, the enjoyment of life. This is not just something special for the American people. Harley-Davidson has succeeded for 100 years. We hope China will continue that trend for another 100 years.

Hollis Zhao

A people who have suffered so much for so long at hands of a racist society must draw the line somewhere. . . . the black communities of America must rise up as one man to halt the progression of a trend that leads inevitably to their total destruction.

Bobby Seale

We've seen this problem coming for years. We need to do something about it now. If the current trend persists, we, as a country, will fall short.

Neal Lane

The tie business went into the doldrums in the mid-1990s. Now there is definitely a dress-up trend among younger consumers.

Gerald Andersen

BIO sees regional bio-based economies emerging in various states of complexity and development. The trend is clear that industrial biotech is growing in importance in the Pacific Rim countries.

Brent Erickson

Convergence is not a trend, it's a necessity. To maintain a competitive lead in exotic technologies takes a lot, so a lot of key devices are driven by the consumer market because that market offers the kind of scale necessary for profits.

Robert Mueller

But you have to put it in perspective. Beer is coming off it's all-time highs while hard alcohol sales are coming off their all-time lows. [Nevertheless], you're concerned about the future, about not letting this trend become a runaway train.

Robert Lachky

Our Vestige kitchen and bath faucets are a perfect example of this trend. Stylistically, it has a very traditional, classic feel, but little details make it more luxurious. A geometric base and curved, flowing spout provide a touch of sophistication.

Judy Riley

We are constantly evaluating the needs of our customers as well as our business needs and feel that offering customers a variety of computing experiences further enhances and helps with their online protection. Trend has a proven track record and made technical and business sense for us to work with them.

Phil Holden

The increasing trend is worrying as the number of HIV infections exceeded 300 cases in 2005. More cases mean more pressure on the medical system.

Raymond Holliwell

Americans buy way too much stuff. And we buy way too many repeats. We're the land of plenty and we like keeping up with trends. But what you have should fit your home and not the latest trend.

Roma Starkey

We can say this trend is being driven by foreigners and that higher rates in the United States will complicate the short-term outlook.

Oscar Campos

This theme is continuing and not just in the mining stocks, but in any related sectors. This is a macroeconomic trend.

Jim Mccafferty

The Illinois 17th congressional district is a swing district that is trending Republican.

Jonathan Collegio

If we get into a drying trend for the next 20 to 22 days, I would guess that there is probably a 70 percent chance the forest will be at least partially closed by June.

Tom Johnston

The dominant trend this year is more toys based on technology.

Jim Silver

You don't have to always sit down to food to get things done. In fact, some would argue you problem solve better in the fresh air, so you may have moving meetings. It would be a great new trend.

Laurel Green

The downward trend in unemployment rates for metro areas throughout our state continues to indicate an improving labor market.

Brenda Russell

Sometimes a tragedy is just a tragedy and not a harbinger of a bad trend. It is important not to lose sight of why we try and keep children in their homes. Lots of years of experience have taught us that in most cases, this is the best outcome. It is not done lightly.

Sue Jacobs

Management stated that it believes 2006 will be the year of explosive growth in IP (Internet protocol) solutions and it is well positioned for this trend.

Timm Bechter

Remember! Things in life will not always run smoothly. Sometimes we will be rising toward the heights - then all will seem to reverse itself and start downward. The great fact to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward, that a line drawn through the middle of the peaks and the valleys of the centuries always has an upward trend.

Endicott Peabody

We've been on a smooth downward trend.

Art Ayre

I am convinced that the modular structure of the Mir will be the main trend in manned orbital stations development in the next century.

Valentina Tereshkova

I don't think it was anything where there was a macro-economic souring. We're still generally on the up trend from just a few years ago.

Joseph Muscat

Still, the one-month modest decline in the index is in line with the general trend of economic expansion since 9/11 (terrorist attacks) and the weakness of 2002.

Keith Schwer

I think that August reunions are steadily trending downhill because people are busy. We go all the way through to Thanksgiving weekend.

Carol Riley

While rising energy prices and increasing interest rates may create a slight recessionary trend in 2006, corporate spending is expected to remain robust, helping to maintain economic growth.

Walter Kortschak

We're really just in a trading range ahead of next Tuesday, but the trend is basically bullish.

Dennis Hynes

Subdued has been the word I've heard to describe the general feeling of people here at the fair. I don't know if it's gas prices or things our nation is going through. But fair attendance is down about 10 percent statewide. If it becomes a trend, it'll be something to address.

Kathy Bennett

Not always, but that's just the trend that it tends to set up.

Tom Priddy

The trend that the cross-Straits relations develop toward the direction of peace and stability has been enhanced.

Li Weiyi

Overall, the U.S. breeding herd has been trending lower as a result of the sow herd shifting to Canada and as a result of higher productivity.

Chris Hurt

We know people's interest in state parks is trending up.

Becky Bovell

Now Wall Street has turned more cautious. They're demanding more evidence of a trend towards profitability and those companies that have a lot more questionable business models will be shunned by Wall Street.

Frederick Moran

As long as it keeps trending down we'll hold where we are or keep coming down when we get enough of a buffer.

Don Bowers

I am honored to have my story recognized with Jerome Bettis. This is a trend-setting year, and I am happy to be part of it. When I leave here, I will leave knowing in my heart that I made a difference.

Cheron Taylor

Once we pick up a trend the appropriate police station will meet to come up with a plan.

Billy Jones

One bust is not a trend, and there has been a terrible track record up until now.

Susan Wysoki

The Company is working aggressively to continue this trend toward profitability.

Thomas Aiken

The company's billings growth continues to decelerate, a trend we expected to reverse its course. Given that the company's billings directly impact the company's cash flow trends, this deceleration concerns us.

Brad Reback

We've seen this trend now, and my hat's off to her, ... reeks of publicity.

Nick Price

This has been a common trend for years as file sharers move between services.

Michael Geist
