Definitely, dog parks are a fast-growing trend across the country. Many cities view dog parks as beneficial for both dog lovers and non-pet owners.
Lisa Patterson
It's a statewide trend. It's not concentrated in any one part of the state.
Robert Bernstein
As a policy maker, I'm only going to pay attention to the workweek if I think it's a trend. But the fact is that since July of 2004, we've been at either 33.7 or 33.8 hours on the aggregate workweek. My feeling is that the workweek declined in February in part because of a decline in construction but that in general, it's probably going to bounce back to 33.8 next month.
Alan Levenson
Even with imperfect data and some uncertainty, it's hard to imagine what kind of errors might be in the data set to give you a long-term trend.
Judith Curry
Large deals just aren't getting done. We continue to see smaller deals, but companies are still hesitant to take any risk. This trend is likely to continue until the clouds of Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Andersen clear.
Bjorn Turnquist
Consolidation was a necessary and positive trend in the evolution of these businesses.
Sumner Redstone
Just from a pure fundraising capacity, we're trending in all the right directions, significant increases quarter over quarter and beating our competition by significant margins. He's got the ideas, he's got the political momentum and he has the money on his side.
Chris Cooney
To have the first televised gubernatorial debate here continues a trend to put us on the map.
Mike Skarr
Historically, Europeans have been fanatical about their chocolate, especially dark chocolate. Slowly, that trend has made its way to America.
David Bolton
Investors can't really take risks and buy bonds because yields are on a gradual rising trend. The central bank's plan to raise interest rates this year is preventing investors from purchasing.
Akito Fukunaga
Anheuser-Busch fourth-quarter sales-to-retailers were better than trend but not strong enough versus expectations.
John Faucher
We think C2 really has the power to become a global trend, ... This is a new product for people who want an active and healthy lifestyle but who don't want to compromise on taste.
Don Knauss
We have been tracking the increasing trend towards technical casino crime for some years now and are pleased that our internal procedures proved successful once again.
David Mills
Trade deficits in the final quarter of last year, as measured by the South African Revenue Service, suggest that the Bank's trade reporting will reflect a similar trend of rising deficits.
Shireen Darmalingam
We look to spot design trends. We'll have a team go around and take pictures and measurements and then we'll sit down with the head of product development and talk about which ideas tend to be the most relevant. Part of my job is to decide what's the next blockbuster trend, and you don't get that looking at pie charts.
Peter Horbury
These actions have been designed to adjust our costs to softening global market conditions and, as the market recovers, to restore the trend of improved profitability that we had achieved over the last two years.
Christopher B. Galvin
Overall, 2006 should be another very strong year for the South African automotive industry and similarly for Ford Motor Company. The positive growth trend in South African new vehicle sales that we have been experiencing over recent years is set to continue in 2006, albeit at a more subdued pace.
Nigel Harris
For more than a century, Pennsylvania contributed its natural resources to the nation and the world, leaving behind environmental scars, pollution and a reduced ability to compete for economic development. Our policy agenda provides a specific list of concrete actions our state can take to reverse this trend and make our state competitive.
John Hanger
Vendor consolidation is a major trend that forces customers to consolidate their IT (information technology) landscape, ... They're redrawing their landscape without those smaller vendors who they see as being most at risk.
Peter Graf
Friday's turmoil in global markets looks set to continue to exert a dominant force on the foreign exchange markets. The usual trend when U.S. stocks fall is that the U.S. dollar suffers.
Craig Ferguson
[But another challenge for hip hotels is overcoming the short shelf life of any trend.] Being hip is catching the right vibe and the right wave at the right time, and then making sure you stay ahead of changing tastes, ... If you're hip today in 2005, then how do you stay hip in 2007?
Henry Harteveldt
Prepayment and preplanning is a big trend.
Kelly Smith
We design the whole package. That's really the trend, being one resource for all the components of bedding.
Monica Edwards
More and more people are going without coverage or with less coverage, and that trend looks like it's going to continue.
Aaron Henry
January output came in slightly below the market's expectations, but taken together with the forecasts we can say it's maintaining an upward trend.
Tatsushi Shikano
We're in a do-it-yourself mega-trend where people can do it themselves. It's so much easier to write to the Web, talk to the Web and put images on the Web.
Alex Williams
If the trend continues unchecked it could neutralize the improved functional status in 10 or 15 years. It's critical we find ways to reduce disability, both physical and cognitive.
Richard Suzman
Is this the start of a reverse trend or is it a correction at the start of a bull run ? It's hard to call.
Jimmy Yates
In most cases, it's the first place we go look for opportunities. The trend is to evolve away from mass marketing to more targeted media campaigns.
Jeff Levitan
This is a positive trend that can continue indefinitely, but the price is that we have to pay attention and reward accountability. The new mantra for health care purchasers needs to be, 'show us your data.' Why trust your family's health to an organization that operates behind closed doors?
Margaret E. O'kane
Strong U.S. economic data will put a brake on the dollar's downward trend, which was triggered by the Fed minutes. The data could re-ignite expectations the Fed will raise interest rates at least twice this year.
Kazuhiro Nishina
With the stock trading at premium multiples and momentum investors exiting the stock, it may take some time ... to re-establish an upward trend.
Chris Shilakes
There is a trend among high-growth areas to strengthen executive positions, because the mayors and executives do have to play more of an aggressive role in policy formation and in interfacing with other levels of government. The office becomes the persona of a single individual.
Susan Mcmanus
Gold will continue to attract funds as an alternative asset. The dollar seems likely to be defensive for a while, and the trend in oil remains positive.
William O'neill
Bandwidth pricing in Asia is still declining. We see lower unit pricing from our suppliers. The question is how long that trend will continue. It won't be forever.
Steve Lowe
In the past, someone would look at a problem, write some code, test it, improve it by hand, test it again and so on. The problem is, software is becoming larger and larger and less and less manageable. So there's a trend to make software that can adapt itself. This is a really big item for the future.
Sebastian Thrun
Kentucky Fried Chicken is the one big trend that's going on in the world today. We're the chicken capital of the USA.
David Novak
Consumer confidence in all major markets has been slipping this year, a trend that has accelerated after the tragic events of September 11.
Gerard Kleisterlee
After the 1936 'Nazi Games', nearly 90 percent of the (Summer) Olympics have been held in capitals or big cities of similar size and used to boost the prestige of the host countries. This trend deviates from the true principle of the Olympics.
Arata Isozaki
We saw this trend coming about three years ago (and realized) we've got to really rethink our media systems.
Nancy Green
Given the trend of an aging population, especially in Japan, I would presume that the 30-year bond in particular should fetch decent prices.
Thomas Lam
The Canadian market will continue to focus on oil and follow energy stocks. The U.S. economy may slow later in the year. Interest rates are on an upward trend.
Todd Johnson
Overall, while it is clear that the pace of jobs growth is moderating, we continue to believe that the unemployment rate will hold broadly steady around five per cent amid trend-like growth in the economy and employment.
Adam Donaldson
Manufacturing is not a majority of the labor market any more, but I would expect services will continue to show the trend growth.
Jeoff Hall
It's definitely going to be competitive. Lane was somewhat of an icon, and even he had to campaign pretty hard in his last race. It's been trending Republican as small and medium-sized towns lose their industrial base and lose the labor union vote.
Wayne Steger
It's a crisis, there's no question about that. What [water companies] don't know is whether we're seeing a long-term trend influenced by climate change, or it's just a one in a hundred [year event].
Peter Ainsworth
That's just the continuing trend. We believe the price will continue to be up even in the face of fewer sales.
Harvey Shapiro
We know that Cubs and Cardinals fans will still be targeting these games to buy tickets. It's disheartening for the players to see the ballpark invaded by visiting supporters, and we're asking for our fans to take early action in helping to reverse this trend.
Rick Schlesinger
The data underlined the recovery trend in the economy and was considered nothing new.
Takashi Miyazaki
The trend of slight increases in industrial production will continue, because the environment is very positive and companies are profiting from demand. We can expect a relatively good first quarter in terms of economic growth.
Christoph Weil
People trading in emerging markets are excited. This should reinforce the trend of appreciation we have seen in the currency and further improve Brazil's debt profile.
Nuno Camara
The price can't go up in a straight line indefinitely and may need to pause... however, the long-term trend is still up.
Lawrence Peterman
Jack said it shows the trend, and the trend is toward legalizing assisted suicide.
Mayer Morganroth
We're concerned because it's part of a general trend in this administration. Far as we know, it's possible that they are like many other Americans - being spied on.
Caroline Fredrickson
That's a fight we're going to have to wage forever. I just can't see that struggle ending because it's a trend that's affected the entire country. People believe what the party in control believes.
Sarah Brown
If this trend continues, we believe it could encourage customers to either rebook at lower room rates or at least hold out until the last minute to book rooms.
David Anders
When we score inside, that opens things up on the perimeter and we've been successful when we've been able to move the ball for good shots and knock them down. The 3-pointer has been a nice weapon for us when we've shot the ball well and we need that trend to continue.
Brian Baptiste
My sense is that Massachusetts and New England will experience some sustained cooling in real estate markets and some flattening of prices. But this trend is not likely to affect the region overly negatively.
Cathy Minehan
Japan should not be late in this trend and needs to lead economic integration in this region.
Takeshi Fujimoto
The Australian dollar's downward trend is still in place. From a technical perspective, the Australian dollar has failed to break 75.80 cents, which would have otherwise signaled the end of its downward trend.
Richard Grace
Admit it or not, migrant workers have become an indispensable part of the country's industrial labor force, and it is an irresistible trend to let them enjoy the same rights and treatments as their city peers.
Lu Xiaowen
This smacks of protectionism and is completely out of line with the overall trend of free trade represented by the (World Trade Organization) Doha Round.
Chong Quan
France once again continues to buck the trend although there is increasing divergence.
Chris Williamson
I also think that anyone in late years of college is anxious about their future, asking themselves, 'What do I want to do? Also, I think that we all live vicariously through children and these kind of trend stories are an expression of adult anxiety.
Jack Shafer
Overseas money is the primary driver based on a return of a degree of confidence. It is now perceived that most economies have bottomed out and are now on a recovery trend.
Howard Gorges
The current trend in storage generally is certainly leaning towards the latter, and I don't expect the emergence of grids to substantially affect this trend.
Simon Robinson
The drop in statewide prices seems to buck the trend we're seeing across the country. Every spring, Americans have an increased demand for gasoline.
Michael Geeser
What they're doing now is more targeted marketing. One is cash incentives - some say it's the next wave after free checking - and the targeted marketing is a trend we've noticed for several years now.
Tracey Mills
I wouldn't view this as the start of a weaker trend.
Haseeb Ahmed
As a brand, we have to follow the trend.
Ralph Alvarez
We have to assume that Europe has more legs. As long as we have those pillars, we would expect an upward trend.
Michael Porter
The trend in the technology sector has been very, very heavily weighted on the downside, and until there's some reason to make it stop we're not going to be seeing anything different.
Fred Ketchen
The trend of loan concentration on big businesses is still noticeable, which brings risk concentration as well.
Wang Zhaoxing
The broad trend among banks is to service customers almost regardless of their credit standing. They do not want to turn a customer away, particularly if it's a customer with a checking account or another relationship.
Fritz Elmendorf
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. If our species survives for another million years or so, I would imagine that the brain by then would show significant structural differences from the human brain of today.
Bruce T. Lahn
Putting rogues at risk is a good thing. It's fraught with idiosyncrasies and inconsistencies, but the trend line is right.
John Stremlau
Trying too hard to follow every trend. You want to look fashionable and put-together, not like you hit every sale rack this season.
Tommy Hilfiger
We don't see the Fed as being too hawkish as inflation is under control. The bearish trend may be put on hold for a while.
Kazuaki Oh'e
Your costs may be different, but the trend is certainly the same.
Paul Patterson
We don't know what's going to happen yet but we do know the trend lines are going down for the work force and up for demand.
Mike Gempler
It's part of a disturbing new trend that the Clark County Division of Family Services is working to face.
Michael Kahn
While fires remain higher than we would want them to be, the trend of lower month-to-month increases shows that our increased attention and efforts to remove debris from the roadbed is being met with some success.
Paul Fleuranges
Texas Instruments is hitting a new high and that's always encouraging. There are these points of light that are stimulating interest in technology, and it's a developing trend that's positive.
Cummins Catherwood
The real concern is what is Coke doing to address this trend and take advantage of it. Pepsi has done much better than Coke both in the bottled water and health drinks categories.
Debbie Wang
What we're seeing is just the start of a trend in which government prosecutors will use (Internet) search results in criminal investigations.
Jim Harper
What we've seen over the last six months is a continuing trend toward higher-quality names across the Internet space. We think that's going to continue.
Jonathan Cohen
Every time we have about three days of downtrend, you get one or two days of positive moves in the short trend.
Joe Ismail
That has been a trend going on for many years. Call it commercialization, call it privatization. People are looking for certain amenities they didn't see 20 years ago.
Paul Cozzie
These stocks have a heavy weight in the indexes. The market remains fragile. The trend of the oil price isn't clear.
Jerome Forneris
We do believe it's a trend where smugglers are attempting to go underground after 9/11 as a result of the heightened security.
Lauren Mack
The market is clearly concerned about the slowing trend in sales growth for almost all of the divisions.
Scott Marshall
Health care professionals and the general public should become more aware of the viral resistance trend and be cautious when prescribing and consuming antiviral medications.
Maria Bain
From a technical perspective the Australian dollar has failed to break 75.80 cents, which would have otherwise signaled the end of its downward trend. The Australian dollar's downward trend is still in place.
Richard Grace
Nobody's sure of anything ... and the trend is for more weakness.
Tomi Taterka
The long-term bull trend remains unchanged. It's just consolidating at the lower end.
Ronald Leung
Because college students are technologically savvy, there will be a greater number of students using debit cards than not. The trend in the U.S. and globally will be to use a debit card.
Noreen Lephardt
This trend where the Chilean peso has weakened with Brazil and Mexico doesn't really have anything to do with Chile at all. We think it's a very good entry point.
Jens Nordvig
The output figure was below expectations, but it doesn't change our view that the underlying expansionary trend continues.
Takumi Tsunoda
The fourth-quarter results continued the trend from previous quarters, however the integration of the truck companies had a positive effect on earnings.
Leif Johansson
Is this a trend that is here to stay? Yes.
Matt Eyring
On any given day, the market is taking its cue from forecasts and results. Juniper was negative, so that's spilling through the Nasdaq. I think, overall, though, the trend through the rest of the year and into early next year will be more positive.
Douglas Altabef
China-Japan relationship deteriorated rather than improved over the year, and the deterioration trend will move on.
Liu Jiangyong
Although it is still early, we are beginning to notice a negative trend in our weekly revisit rates.
David Anders
The emergence of integrating presence applications to streamline communications amongst employees is one area that is garnering tremendous interest from enterprise customers worldwide. Cisco and IBM demonstrating standards-based integration of presence applications within a leading IP communications systems environment is indicative of this trend and the forthcoming delivery of these solutions.
Zeus Kerravala
The report is the latest sign that consumer confidence has been trending down. It adds to worries in the stock market about consumer spending and about corporate earnings. The question is whether consumers will slow expenditures and, in turn, hurt corporate profits and the economy.
Peter Boockvar
Side letters are often needed to allow a pension fund to invest in a hedge fund without violating the terms of the pension fund's charter documents or the provisions of ERISA. Driving this trend is a significant increase in the funds allocated to the alternative investment sector in all jurisdictions - from Japan and Dubai to the UK and the BVI.
Mark Lewis
Post-Christmas economic statistics have been inconclusive, with those from the retail and manufacturing sectors on the negative side, while house prices are showing signs of improvement. Therefore, despite earlier hopes of a cut this time, a no-change decision was widely expected. However, we firmly believe the trend is still downwards and therefore this is a cut 'deferred', not a change of heart.
Ray Boulger
From my perspective, we're holding our own pretty well, certainly are very busy, and I expect that that would be the trend here in the future.
Michael Buckley
Globalization is a real trend, it's here to stay, and the times of U.S. dominance of capital markets have passed. If you're a beginning investor, or you want a well-rounded large-cap portfolio with the best companies in the world, the world stock category has several worthy options.
Kai Wiecking
The organ is on a downhill trend. It's following the harpsichord.
Charles Terry
Overall, advance ticket sales for Speed Weeks are trending ahead of last year.
John Saunders
We've steadily been building up as a nation, moving toward the trend of electronic filing. But it was only last year that we passed the halfway measure.
Christopher Miller
The state has to shoulder its fair share. The communities we want to represent have lost 20 percent of funding since 2002. We have to reverse that trend.
Joseph Mackey
There is nothing to suggest that would be the trend.
Abheek Barua
I do expect, if the trend continues, that he will improve.
Dr. Lawrence Roberts
Taiwan is drifting towards the opposite direction of reunification. That's why we feel some urgency. We have to stop that trend.
Tao Wenzhao
Job growth in the remainder of the country appeared to be below trend in October.
Kathleen Utgoff
The market is taking a rest. We've had several strong up weeks. I don't see anything wrong with the intermediate trend.
Fred Meissner
Fundamentals still do not support a strong rebound in German retail sales: real compensation per employee is declining noticeably and, even though unemployment has started to fall, employment is still on a downward trend.
Sandra Petcov
We've had trouble going out and beating a team we should beat. This is where we have to stop the trend that we've had in the past few years.
Gerris Wilkinson
If this trend continues, it suggests a very different 2006. If Republicans enter the year on the working assumption that they're not going to pick up any meaningful support on the Democratic side on anything, they're going to have to figure out whether to lean toward the middle to get the bulk on board, or get into a Lord-of-the-Flies situation where they start tossing each other off the cliff.
Michael Franc
We're not seeing as many starter houses in the low to mid-$200,000s anymore, which has been the trend for the last year or so. Developers are seeing these big lots and building larger, newer, more expensive homes with three-car garages.
Larry Hinrichs
The major trend is globalization. A new world order is rapidly emerging.
Peter Pollak
The only trend you can really identify at the moment is that things seem to be M&A driven.
Lars Kreckel
On the dollar index, the current structure of the chart targets a move to around 85.50. If and when it does get there, I think that is your inflection point. If you are a dollar bull that's where you want to see demand coming in and if it doesn't, that speaks to a much deeper decline and maybe a trend change.
John Kosar
Today's data are consistent with a still-strong trend in growth, a healthy labor market, and potential inflationary pressures, ... enough to keep the Fed on its steady diet of 25 basis-point rate hikes.
Kevin Harris
Whatever they're doing, they're trending in the right direction. Even when you factor out the acquisition of National Sports and Nevada Bob's (a golf specialty store acquired in late 2004), they were up 5.3% (in sales) in the third quarter.
Sheila Broughton
Increasingly, employees across all life stages - but especially Singles and Young Families - are viewing the workplace as the site of choice for purchasing investment and protection products. As this trend continues, expect employers to recognize that the 'one-size-fits-most' approach may no longer be an effective way to communicate to their employees.
Ben Colvin
We're a global band. In 1995, we played 42 countries. So when America did that trend, when grunge came in, we didn't change to be that. We stayed true to who we were, played the world and continued to grow.
David Bryan
We see this as a strong trend.
Brian Major
The decline in stocks yesterday was not the start of a trend. At this level investors should sell bonds.
Makoto Yamashita
The retro trend in sportswear is also very big right now whether it's in footwear or sports jerseys.
Larry Weindruch
The trend is still for healthy productivity growth between 2% and 2.5%, and unit labor costs are expected to only slowly rise over the coming year.
Daniel Jester
Prices will remain volatile for a while, but I don't think copper will fall repeatedly as the long-term trend for the metal is still considered to be bullish.
Hiroyuki Kitakata
Both new and existing home sale prices over the past few months have already been trending downward. Prices will continue to feel downward pressure as more and more units are posted for sale in the marketplace.
Gina Martin
I expect the economy to rebound to above-trend growth. We just hit a soft spot in the second quarter, ... If it turns out that the economy continues to grow below trend ... if the data continue to be as weak as they have been in the past three months, with a sufficient rise in the unemployment rate, you can't rule [a rate cut] out.
Laurence Meyer
There is uncertainty over the trend of imports of IT (information technology) goods in the US, where IT investment is running at a historically high level.
Junichi Makino
It is very clear that voice communications is moving on to the Internet, ... In the end, the price that anyone can provide for voice transmission on the Net will trend toward zero.
Meg Whitman
The expansion in these two segments is due to rising spending power among women, as female online shoppers exceeded their male counterparts for the first time last year at 52 percent. This trend will definitely continue.
Hazel Chen
A welcomed relief from severe mid-December weather precipitated sales surges in the Midwest and Northeast. However, other parts of the country experienced just the opposite trend because of the ice storm which paralyzed parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
William Ford
The current increase in ATE sales is primarily being driven by increasing capacity requirements for memory and SOC testers. Expanding demand for these semiconductor devices, coupled with the trend toward further outsourcing of test to SATS companies, is sparking the latest ATE market growth cycle.
Klaus Rinnen
The target at the start of the season is to have a good home record. Anything you do away from home is a big bonus. You normally expect to be strong at home and struggle on your travels, but that season bucked the trend.
Steve Ogrizovic
Add to that the trend of baby boomers wanting to move downtown, and it bodes well for increased density and residential development.
Matthew Gardner
We've seen an alarming trend of young children being abducted and killed. The most likely source of snatching kids is schools because they're all congregated there, so we need to step it up a little.
Jeff Kottkamp
Japan's overall consumer spending is pretty firm as a trend because wages are rising.
Taro Saito
What happened in Australia shows how competitive the business is in 3G. I think this could be the beginning of a trend where you will see WCDMA increasingly dominating new 3G orders.
Peter Olson
It sounds like a broken record, but companies are still recording solid earnings growth. It's a trend we have been seeing for quite a while.
John Butters
We expect European company margins to reverse a seven-consecutive-quarter trend of year-over-year declines and begin to show recovery. This could be an inflection point for European profitability.
Joe Buckley
With export demand now recovering following the completion of IT inventory adjustments in 2005 and domestic demand expanding solidly, production is likely to continue its rising trend in the near-term, even if there are some monthly fluctuations.
Taro Saito
Independent artists and labels have always been the trend setters in music and the music business.
Shawn Fanning
Each survey is just a snapshot in time, so I really don't know if the trend will be sustained and a real upswing in consumer confidence, or if it's a blip.
Melinda Jackson
Because all the data is accessible through a central portal, we now have far more information available to us about our retail business than ever before. This has led to precision trend analysis while making it easy to control access to confidential information.
Harm Harmenzon
I think what the folks up there in Sprint territory are experiencing is this euphoria, this anticipation that these changes are going to take place. They are (going to happen), but they aren't there yet. … This is a trend and we are on the front end of the curve.
John Koppin
This is a reverse from the recent trend of a stronger yen, which had been a concern. I think the stock market is feeling some relief.
Hideyuki Suzuki
We don't expect the U.S. dollar rally to be a long lasting thing. The bigger trend is still Canadian dollar strength.
Maria Jones
We are trying to create more consequences for this very dangerous trend. We hope this serves as a deterrent.
Adele Fasano
Tech industry employment only grew by one percent last year compared to two percent for the US private sector as a whole. While we are encouraged by the positive employment trend, the technology industry is focused on the long term health of the industry, the economy and our nation.
William Archey
The current trend is to lock in profits from technology issues and shift money to defensives.
Hidenori Kawasaki
The trend towards more cash leases puts the cost estimation responsibility on the farmer. That puts pressure on the producer to not overbid and not pay too much for rent.
Matt Diersen
The rough cut in consolidation has probably occurred by now, but the new industry trend affecting competition is the wireless device evolving into the third or fourth screen for a lot of consumers. But the content they will want in each market will be different. What they want in the Caribbean will be different than what they want in the U.S. [In mobile gaming], it could be dominoes versus poker.
Michael Small
Lingerie has come out of the closet. People talk about it. People are looking for things to enhance their figures, you know, body shaping. It's the whole trend.
Monica Mitro
That's the really big trend, ... Year 2000 has been the big thing that has really worked quite well.
Paul Johnston
We had momentum before. Publication of the study results will accelerate this trend.
Norbert Bischofberger
We considered this trend to be unsustainable because so many households were already priced out of the Bay Area market and the prospects for the local economy were not good, so we adjusted the forecast to 7.5 percent.
David Stiff
Cricket is just following the same trend as football and rugby. You do see world-class players becoming world-class coaches because they have all that first-hand knowledge. But then there are other coaches who have spent less time playing and more developing interpersonal skills. The saying goes that good coaches coach technique, great ones coach people.
Hugh Morris
I see the trend changing and other guys getting more opportunities earlier, but if teams are intent on taking away the run, we'll take advantage of it.
Steve Sarkisian
It's very, very important symbolically to have Chicago become smoke free because it's the leader in the Midwest and it will have a trickle down effect. This is part of a national trend this is just now starting in the Midwest.
Daniel Smith
While city people continued their strong spending, rural people have increased their spending only gradually due to lower incomes. This trend will continue for the rest of this year.
Qi Jingmei
The general feeling is that firms are trying to be more selective about the number of athletes with whom they have relationships. You have to remember that, for the most part, the industry is young and learning how to measure success and get the best return on its investment. The emerging trend is the use of entertainers and retired athletes to market these products.
Paul Swangard
I think we're definitely prepared. We have Lafayette [today] and Westchester on Sunday, so I think we'll keep this trend, the winning streak, going.
Annelise Legel
On a gay situation, I think we set a trend too. I remember how Blake Carrington in Dynasty hated his son being gay. And the son finally moved out and Blake was mean to his son's lover, but in the last show, I'll never forget that, Blake visited the apartment his son and his lover were living in. They were expecting trouble and hell, but nothing happened and he kissed his son.
Aaron Spelling
We've seen growing respect for NGOs' impartiality, which is a function of a long-term trend of people losing faith in the impartiality of scientists.
Peter Hardstaff
If you look at the national trend, we are the opposite of the national trend. The national trend had a slowdown in organizing -- here we have not. It's because we've had active new campaigns.
Danny Thompson
The Fed did not change its upbeat view of the U.S. economy. The dollar-bullish trend will continue.
Junya Tanase
It's been a trend for our team to hit for power in the first inning, but we've been struggling to put it together. We put it all together and kept hitting throughout the game. Hopefully this starts off our season on a good foot.
John Malloy
The overall trend is still that the recovery is weak. I wouldn't say that this is a turnaround yet.
Peter Morgan
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
As issues of climate change, energy security and fuel prices start to crop up more on consumer radar screens, we need to be able to meet that shifting demand. What you're seeing is just the beginnings of a growth in demand, but it's a very clear trend.
Niel Golightly
The dollar-bullish trend will likely continue this week. Strong economic indicators will reinforce the view the Fed will continue raising rates.
Takehiko Jimbo
Our own sense is that a lot of this (trend) is driven mostly by economics. In certain markets where affordable housing is scarce this is much more common.
Nicolas Retsinas
It was a good quarter for them. They came in well ahead, ... They did it by keeping control of their medical costs. Aetna's medical cost trend moved higher whereas Cigna was able to keep it in control.
Peter Costa
Faltering U.S. new home sales, reflecting shrinking housing affordability, call into question the notion of another year above-trend growth for U.S. consumer spending and real gross domestic product.
Robert Barbera
Going forward, we would expect to see satisfaction trend back upward now that the holiday rush is over.
Larry Freed
Individuals are increasing their investments in the stock market, and that kind of trend will continue.
Song In Ho
I think the trend generally is higher but it's going to be fits and starts.
Todd Eberhard
This overall trend demonstrates strong and growing retailer commitment to video game rating enforcement, although clearly we are not yet where we want to be as an industry.
Hal Halpin
