That low inflation rate leaves the Fed plenty of latitude to remain on hold, and reinforces our expectation that [a rate increase] is unlikely before the third quarter of 2004.

Maury Harris

With the latest bit of news, punters now think it's unlikely that the stadium will be finished in time, and the odds reflect that.

Rupert Adams

Editors finally began to understand that the audience was largely self-selecting, and that the readers the feature attracted were unlikely to be offended.

Garry Trudeau

Yields are unlikely to keep going up in a straight line. Investors may buy should yields rise to 1.50 percent.

Kazuhiko Sano

So I think rather than being attracted so much now to working with my heroes, I'm sort of more attracted to working with completely unlikely strangers because it's more exciting really.

Neil Finn

Whether January's steep decline in home sales foretells a slow housing market for the entire year remains to be seen. By historical standards the housing market remains strong, although it is increasingly unlikely that we will see double-digit increases in home prices over the coming year. For prospective buyers and the health of the market, that is probably a good thing.

Leonard Zumpano

The chance of getting shot by a passerby is unlikely, ... It can still happen, but it's unlikely.

Howard Palmer

It would be very unlikely that he would be able to garner the same level of support [as Giuliani].

Bruce Teitelbaum

We believe that the FDA's immediate concern level with the products is low and see black box as unlikely. A medication guide is more likely because of the strong panel vote in its favor.

Graham Parry

Such a modest increase [in unemployment] is unlikely to have any impact on consumer confidence or affect consumer spending.

Philip Shaw

It seems unlikely they can accomplish this. They'll have to show that more than a dozen possible witnesses and their independent counsel analyzed the cases and the evidence and all came to the conclusion they should plead guilty to things they didn't do.

Philip Hilder

This strikes us as a lot of cash up front for a highly uncertain benefit: even were such a deal to happen, it would be unlikely to threaten existing joint ventures.

Stephen Cheetham

It's highly unlikely she can succeed. Katherine Harris being our sole nominee is not in the party's best interest.

Al Cárdenas

We have a long-term contract with this little group called Mary Kay. It's unlikely we'll even submit a bid.

Phillip Jones

It is unlikely all vendors will agree to IPR capping. Nevertheless, by removing CDMA from the LTE standard it also removes perhaps the most vocal opponent to royalty capping and proportionality - Qualcomm.

Gavin Patterson

While I think that 18 (months) is somewhat better than 24 (months), the truth of the matter is those numbers are sufficiently imprecise, and the whole thing is sufficiently unlikely that it seemed more suitable, especially given our continued budget pressure, to stick with 24 months.

Linton Brooks

BT's 2Q 05/06 results would appear at first glance to be bang in line with our below-consensus expectations. But slightly more-than-expected margin weakness and lower cash flow is unlikely to be taken well. Our sell rating is maintained.

Chris Alliott

Our compass is pointing in the right way and if it continues to point in this way, there should be no reason why we should even discuss (that), ... very unlikely.

Israel Singer

A unity government is very unlikely now. The gulf between them is wide right now.

Vali Nasr

There's an erosion of confidence that any recovery is unlikely to occur as quickly as had been previously expected and when a recovery comes, it's not probable that it's going to be a very robust one.

Bill Meehan

I'm used to playing literal story lines and dealing with people's emotions. I had a story where I was put in a dungeon for four weeks. That to me is such an unlikely scenario, I had a very hard time making my imagination go there. I find myself not actually playing it. I will show up for it.

Deidre Hall

[Alan Binder, a professor at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., said it is unlikely Congress will act to bail out airlines, as it did after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.] Barring some catastrophe, ... going to let the chips fall where they may.

Alan Binder

The drop in oil prices appears to be to be due to continued growth in domestic oil inventories. In addition, there is a realization that efforts to deal with Iran's nuclear ambitions may be protracted over many months and an industry belief that they are unlikely to suspend their oil shipments any time soon.

Dawn Duffy

Could this drop in confidence affect spending? It seems unlikely due to the notable disconnect between changes in confidence and spending.

Olivier Gasnier

That was a pride thing. We knew it was unlikely, a long shot. But ... if we'd have that type of intensity and carried it through those first two quarters, it could have been a different game.

Josh Borland

For a smart material to be able to send out a more complex signal it needs to be nonlinear. If you hit a tuning fork twice as hard it will ring twice as loud but still at the same frequency. That's a linear response. If you hit a person twice as hard they're unlikely just to shout twice as loud. That property lets you learn more about the person than the tuning fork.

Neil Gershenfeld

It's actually unlikely that the Paisley campaign can win, in the sense that it can prevent this referendum (from) being passed.

Paul Bew

It would be OK (for a champion not to win a race), although I think it's very unlikely. I would be shocked if the winner goes through the final 10 and doesn't win a race.

Brian France

Simply cutting the taxes for America's wealthiest families is clearly not creating the needed new jobs, and that strategy is unlikely to succeed in the future.

Tim Johnson

IBM has told us over and over that the first quarter would be on the flat side. The market has already digested that, so now it's unlikely they will disappoint, and things will look brighter mid-year or so.

Ulric Weil

It depends on how much we want to expand. If you do everything -- which is not my recommendation and which is unlikely -- it could double this budget.

George Krawzoff

The main impediment to strengthening will be land. But Jamaica and even western Cuba are unlikely to have much impact.

Richard Pasch

You would have to show that your vote is diluted by recounting. That seems unlikely given all the recounting there has been in the past.

Douglas W. Kmiec

There's not enough money. It's unlikely that anyone who paid tuition will receive anything back.

Mark Tulis

Such executives are unlikely to be willing to look at new ways of doing business.

Lumkile Mondi

Obviously they're trying to repair that reputation. But since their reputation has been so damaged in the aftermarket, it's unlikely they are going to fill the lost orders with replacement tire sales.

Wendy Needham

Growth is more likely to firm modestly from here and it's quite unlikely to ease much further.

Anirvan Banerji

This explains the stability of the Russian stock market - it does not grow rapidly after the January upsurge and it is unlikely to drop suddenly.

Oleg Vyugin

Nothing is clear, but I would think it would be unlikely that the child would be thrown in the Dumpster alive. ... But they're probably not going to know that until they find the woman.

John Henderson

With few new drugs coming through the pipeline, significant investment is required to build a pipeline sufficient to support future growth, especially in light of patent expiries in 2007-9. Nevertheless, we see significant share price downside as unlikely.

Graham Parry

It is unlikely that reform-minded politicians will have a lot to say in the new government.

Andreas Rees

It's a terrible situation. The insurgents cannot win the war militarily as long as the U.S. stays there in force. And we can't win the war ... without there being a real political deal ... and that is getting unlikely.

Leslie Gelb

There's been a lot of gas headed this way. Can we sustain these types of import numbers? Probably unlikely, but we've had a pretty good surge in the last three weeks.

Tom Bentz

I hope to talk with the road department next week, but with this last storm it is looking unlikely we will get the road open to the lake. I'm just hoping we can get it graded to the resort.

Jared Smith

If the company were to continue in the way it is going it is possible it could run into difficulties so we can't write that out -- but frankly it is unlikely.

John Tysoe

Such a 'flu shot' is now widely expected and would be unlikely to unsettle investors beyond a transitory period.

Abby Joseph Cohen

We're losing time. Time is working against us. I think we all pray and hope for a miracle, but this morning we're about to mark two weeks, and it's highly unlikely we're going to find anyone alive.

Joe Allbaugh

We are 20 months down the line from the ANC's largest electoral victory ever. It's unlikely that things would have changed dramatically in that period. It was potentially a bit of wishful thinking on the part of some parties and analysts.

Jonathan Faull

She does not intend to return to competition. At this point it's unlikely. These last two years have been tough on her and she doesn't want to deal with this anymore.

Jerrold Colton

We could see prices ease from record highs, but it's unlikely we'll see them return to historical averages we're used to.

Glyn Lawcock

It's premature to talk about if any tournaments will be moved off the schedule. I think that's unlikely.

Henry Hughes

It is very unlikely that it would maintain that kind of case mortality rate if it made the jump.

Stanley Lemon

Courage is found in unlikely places.

J. R. R. Tolkien

It took them only an instant to cut of that head, but it is unlikely that a hundred years will suffice to reproduce a singular one.

Antoine Lavoisier

Visa appears unlikely to alter its current ownership structure in the near term, even as MasterCard remains committed to an initial public offering some time in the second quarter.

Matthew Park

It seems unlikely that he would say anything that would be intended to greatly alter expectations. I don't see what the market has priced in now, in terms of near-term rate actions, to be at odds with the general drift of policy-makers' thinking.

Michael Prell

Market players had been refraining from selling the yen before the release of the CPI data. But now, they know that the BOJ is unlikely to change their current monetary policy for a while, and the United States continues to have higher interest rates than Japan.

Kazuhiro Nishina

[That's what Rockville, Md.-based Celera, a company that sets ambitious goals often unlikely to yield big financial returns in the short run, has set out to do.] This has been in the works for a long time, ... This was something that was always obvious to do as a next step.

Craig Venter

We're delighted to see criminal penalties included in the House bill, ... The question is, what's the crime? In other words, is it as they say, a broad definition that would include situations such as Firestone, Ford Explorer, or is it very, very narrow that it is unlikely to have much impact?

Clarence Ditlow

There will still be trade disputes with the Bush administration, but it's unlikely these disputes will increase. The same goes for human rights.

Jin Canrong

He was actually delighted that I was still there working that late, ... That was the sort of environment he created. He pushed people reasonably hard, but he balanced that by being a very compelling, almost Moses-like teacher. He knew what he wanted. You're unlikely to ever meet someone who had a more intense and focused mind than Rick.

Jim Heath

Our analysis suggests that roughly 67 percent of institutional shareholders would need to vote in favor of the deal in order for it to pass. We view this as highly unlikely, particularly in light of Walter Hewlett's intention to publicly solicit proxies.

Joel Wagonfeld

I think it's extremely unlikely they would get that big a number.

Dean Bonham

If you were booked to go to somewhere in Asia next week and the place you were going to has just been knocked out of existence, then you are not going to get your money back from them and you're not going to get your money back from the insurance company either, unless it specifically said it would do so. And that's unlikely.

Keith Betton

It's very unlikely there could be survivors.

Jesse Chacon

As this problem is unlikely to resolve itself quickly, we remain concerned that 2006 forecasts could be too aggressive.

Guy Moszkowski

Pfizer clearly is a company with tremendous disregard for the generic drug industry and is not given to settling. But it is not altogether unlikely that Pfizer could settle its litigation. If Pfizer could translate some of its cash hoards into greater certainty on this litigation ... I think they would do that.

Barbara Ryan

From the available biological evidence, it seems very unlikely that a fetus experiences what we think of as pain before 29 weeks of gestation.

Mark Rosen

That's very unlikely here. The management are all new and weren't here in the times this happened. They are not to blame for this. They have done the right thing to come clean.

Maurice Kidd

Our own belief remains that while core inflation could well inch up in the coming months, it is unlikely to accelerate significantly.

Joshua Shapiro

[From a data standpoint,] it's a relatively slow week but what little there is probably not going to be that friendly, ... It's not going to change the market's perception of the Fed, and Greenspan is unlikely to change the market's perception either.

James Blumenthal

North Korea has exhausted most of its diplomatic cards available. A remaining card is not returning to the negotiating table ... A nuclear test is unlikely as it would provoke China and other neighboring countries too much.

Koh Yu Hwan

If we assume the higher sum of money here, it would put MP3.com out of business. It's very unlikely that they would receive financing to pay these damages.

Nitsan Hargil

I think that's a scenario that we're unlikely to encounter in the years ahead but it's something that is in the back of our minds.

Roger Gibbins

With the Lucio Tan group gaining sole control of PNB, it is unlikely that there will be any change in the composition of the bank's highly professional and competent management team.

Lucio Tan

I wouldn't rule out commercial uses either, though China Mobile is unlikely to recklessly sell sensitive information on its high-end customers, given how much effort it expends to keep them happy.

Dave Carini

We have been and will be competitive with any pay TV provider. We're spreading our costs over a wide customer base.... It's unlikely another competitor in the market place will have an effect (on rates).

Robert Mercer

If technologically and economically feasible, it is unlikely that providers will only offer high-speed Internet access. Most telecom revenues are derived from voice and data-centric providers who ignored voice have had a hard time of making ends meet.

Lisa Pierce

Realistically, there's unlikely to be a dramatic turn for the better or worse on security in Gaza in the near term. This will be no model for a future state.

Mouin Rabbani

There will be overlaps. But it is unlikely that a new site-selection exercise would produce exactly the same shortlist of sites.

Dave Holmes

I think the wholesale repeal of what's already been decided is unlikely.

Sang Lee

Sure, lower rates might offer another brief respite in an environment that has seen increasing dollops of profit-warnings and negative economic news recently, but when that is all said and done, a poor operating environment is unlikely to be a boon for corporate profits -- or U.S. shares prices -- in the months ahead, ... The New Laws of the Stock Market Jungle.

Michael Panzner

While it is conceivable that Stern would sell some shares to cover his multimillion dollar tax bill on the shares, it is unlikely in our opinion that he would unload all of the shares in the short run since the company is in a high growth phase where stock returns are likely to be the highest and perhaps may generate higher returns than other investment options.

Susan Kalla

A grand coalition would be perceived negatively by the markets. It would be unlikely to push through any reforms because the parties hold contradictory positions and would neutralise each other.

Joerg Kraemer

As long as the economy is good, it's unlikely in my view that we'll see a downward trend.

Randy Perreira

There is some talk in the market that the ECB could move today but we think this is unlikely.

Craig Chan

It's unlikely we would drop Cincinnati.

Andre Cote

After five years of 20 percent growth, fixed income trading is unlikely to continue at that pace.

Michael Hecht

The legislation was unlikely ever to have become law, because the Republican leadership in the House would have been reluctant to let it go to a vote. But as a symbol the proposed legislation was very unhelpful. The threat of high and sweeping tariffs against our third largest trading partner was the height of irresponsibility.

Dan Griswold

We had a huge increase this year and it's unlikely that it can be sustained at that level. With interest rates moving higher, mortgage originations will be down a little bit, and as a result, securitizations will be down.

Dan Castro

With the import side holding up more strongly than exports for now, the Reserve Bank is unlikely to respond with lower interest rates in the near term.

Michael Every

Today, that's not a worry for us. The idea that other countries might change their law to introduce restrictions [on open-source software] seems unlikely.

Loïc Dachary

It's unlikely. From what was said the day he died, that he was found lifeless, it looked very much like a very sudden death from heart failure.

Leo Bokeria

It's unlikely that any past deforestation -- legal or illegal -- has really played a significant role in causing that landslide.

Patrick Durst

Highly unlikely and not credible.

Frederick Jones

We don't have any rights of any kind. It's unlikely that we would do it anyway at this point with the way our roster is.

Geoff Petrie

It is unlikely that the results will be known today [Sunday].

Christian Chartier

We're going to wait until Feb. 26 to see what they say about their restructuring, but our forecasts say they'll break even in 2002, ... It is possible they could be profitable in the first half, but we think it's unlikely.

Michael Dean

Today's report provides something for both the hawks and the doves on the Monetary Policy Committee. It is, however, unlikely to precipitate a change of policy when the Bank next meets.

Simon Rubinsohn

A judge would say 'He's a good citizen and unlikely to do this again'.

Douglas Berman

I can recall people talking about the lab and talking about evacuation in the unlikely event that something would happen at the lab. That would not be the first thing you would look at.

Tom Lyons

It's highly unlikely we would have the facility available at the beginning of the season. We're looking at November, but again, that's an ambitious schedule.

Tim Coulon

Once we receive additional funding, we'll branch out a bit beyond the city limits, but it is unlikely we'll ever be able to afford to provide fiber to the entire county.

Jane Howard

What could stop us is a series of unremitting hurricanes and natural disasters. But that's unlikely to happen.

Gary Mormino

It's unlikely the prosecutors would walk away.

Stanley Twardy

While Sun has held its own in Unix servers in our recent surveys, we believe that Unix market revenues are unlikely to grow materially going forward, and accordingly, that Sun will need to improve its (x86)-based share in order to generate meaningful revenue growth.

Toni Sacconaghi

I think it would be highly unlikely that we would go through the resources of extraditing an individual from the United States for a summary conviction assault misdemeanor.

Paul Hawkins

With the economy in a slump and corporate earnings continuing to deteriorate, this pressure is unlikely to subside anytime soon.

Mamoru Yamazaki

The governor has said that at some point in time, it would not be unlikely to hear from Major League Baseball that it is looking at other possibilities, and among those possibilities is that Major League Baseball would consider moving the team or looking at other markets.

Brian Mcclung

Our plans for demutualization are at an advanced stage. Before proceeding, the company must assure itself that there are unlikely to be major concerns on the part of the regulator or the independent experts who must report to the courts. To that end, we are engaged in regular, full and open discussions on aspects of the demutualization program.

Standard Life

I want to swim well at [Ohio State]. They are a better team across the board and beating them is unlikely, but I would still like to go down there and swim fast.

Peter Linn

Things like generators, ignition coils and basic brake components do not fall into Delphi's picture because there are so many suppliers competing on price out there it's unlikely you can gain any kind of a competitive advantage.

Jim Gillette

A resurgence of demand is unlikely, but we believe there will be a flight to quality. We will not sell a ride on a specific launch vehicle - Atlas or Proton. Instead we will sell a ticket to orbit and diversify the launch risk.

Bob Stevens

These disparities are concerning because they are unlikely to be related to appropriateness of care.

Nancy Keating

Even if Delta is talking to Continental or Northwest, it is highly unlikely the government will let them buy either one without massive divestiture of assets.

Sal Colak

Even with these unofficial meetings, the stalemate is likely to continue for a long time, because it's unlikely they'll lead to changes in policy.

Chu Shulong

We'll let the voters make the determination about the impact of this. It's unlikely he'll eat into our base. Lynn Swann is Western Pennsylvania.

Leonardo Alcivar

Inmates say it may happen, but the conditions under which it happens are rare. It is unlikely all the stars are going to align properly for this to happen, particularly in prisons today. You're going to get caught.

Mark Fleisher

Obviously, I think it's very important we find the right person for the job and there's some good candidates out there. I think we'll find the right person. I think anybody who's in ownership or even somebody who's from a club, it's a little bit of a long shot to get the others to go along that this is the right guy. That's another reason it's unlikely.

Art Rooney

We're seeing some investors testing the tech waters, but the urge to sell after slight rises is extremely strong. This trend is unlikely to change soon given uncertainty over the high-tech profit outlook.

Yoshihisa Okamoto

I think it's very unlikely Alliance & Leicester will be around as an independent entity in five years time; it's a question of at what price and when, and there's a lot of bid speculation in the (share) price at the moment.

Andy Penman

It (was) completely unlikely that the House (would) slow down. The train is on the track on the House side.

Howard Duvall

An immediate slowdown in the U.S. economy is an unlikely scenario as its growth rate is still quite high. The prospects for exporters remain positive for the time being.

Masaaki Endo

It is rather unlikely that memos signed by the deputy solicitor general will be crassly or even overtly political. What is said will be said, almost certainly, in terms of supposed 'professional' judgments about what would persuade the Supreme Court.

Jefferson Powell

To hit Mr Brown's forecast now, quarterly growth would have to average around 1.0 percent in the remaining three quarters which looks very unlikely.

Jonathan Loynes

U.K. May PPI data are unlikely to move markets markedly, in spite of the large rise in input prices, since this was largely due to the rebound in oil prices.

Neil Parker

We're speculating on something I don't know the answer to. We just don't know that, because we haven't established that there is that transmission. But it is unlikely that you would be standing around a chicken and get the influenza virus that way.

Keiji Fukuda

At this stage in this particular investigation it would be highly unlikely for a new grand jury to receive any new information that had not already been considered at length by Ken Starr, the United States Congress and the prior grand jury.

John Douglass

The 343rd resumed full operations on November 11 and is performing all missions as directed in exemplary fashion, ... The investigation is still ongoing, although further action is unlikely.

Steven Boylan

There could be an increase in the risk premium if global interest rates rise. But foreign investors tend to invest their money in India because of a long-term view on the economy and this is unlikely to change suddenly.

Hans Goetti

Sugar fundamentals are unlikely to be strong enough to carry prices higher on their own. Everyone's crop is going to be bigger next year.

James Cassidy

We believe it is unlikely that Citigroup knowingly participated in fraudulent activity related to Enron, and history suggests bank stocks bounce highly after a market crisis.

Catherine Murray

She probably has enough steam to get into the harbor . . . but whether she will have the power to overhaul the German system is, I think, quite unlikely. Germans want some economic reforms, sure. But not Reaganomics that take away traditional strong social protections.

Gero Neugebauer

We're focusing on evacuation and what would cause us to evacuate major portions of our population. One of the largest impacts on Davidson County would be the hopefully unlikely but catastrophic failure of the Wolf Creek Dam.

Richard Byrd

It is unlikely that the Court of Appeal gave no consideration of the discretions available to the sentencing judge.

Michael Kirby

The title of the episode is 'Unlikely Allies,' which probably refers to the relationship between myself (As Chief Hendricks) and Sir William Johnson.

Roger Moore

After lagging behind their foes all summer and fall, liberals are turning up the heat and conservatives are unlikely to cede them the field as the confirmation hearings approach.

Bert Brandenburg

The birth is surely a bright piece of news, but it is unlikely to boost the economy, which as we all know is in a very weak state.

Masaru Kazama

They always come back and the females never leave, so it is unlikely they are contributing to large-scale transmission of CWD, ... A big key for understanding transmission is young bucks. They are the only segment of the population that makes permanent movement out of their home ranges.

Nancy Mathews

Oil markets have been a bit irrational in the past week or two with long-term supply concerns affecting short-term prices. Iranian oil exports are unlikely to ever be restricted and certainly not anytime soon.

Kurt Barrow

It is unlikely that bondholders would get utterly buried in a takeover. There is a lifeline, in the form of covenants.

James Foster

Australia fought like demons to pull off an unlikely win.

Ian Botham

It suggests that the industrial production setback reported for June is unlikely to last and that production geared up the very next month.

Chris Rupkey

The euro will go still lower, but we are unlikely to see a repeat of the wholesale sell-off that occurred last week.

David Solin

The U.K. over the past six months shows us how the economy can go from looking quite weak to improving in reaction to a rate cut. It will also occur in New Zealand, so the RBNZ is unlikely to cut aggressively.

Adrian Foster

At some stage, I think Iran will use its oil as a weapon to negotiate with the U.N. and the U.S., which would push up the market -- although they are unlikely to stop exports altogether because they need the money.

Tetsu Emori

It is unlikely to be repeated. We have all learnt our lessons.

G.l. Peiris

The dynamics within the core of this neighboring galaxy may be more common than we think. Our own Milky Way apparently has even younger stars close to its own black hole. It seems unlikely that only the closest two big galaxies should have this odd activity. So this behavior may not be the exception but the rule. And we have found other galaxies that have a double nucleus.

Tod Lauer

Frankly it's highly unlikely that I'm going to stay these proceedings ... I don't run (patent office) business and they don't run mine.

James Spencer

It looks very unlikely that the substance contains any bacteria of any significant pathological significance.

John Davies

Although many bangers may have taken on a more exotic guise, two in five adults always try to buy British sausages and bacon where possible and so it is unlikely that this old favourite will ever lose it's true Britishness.

David Bird

It's tricky to say when something like this could jump from proof of concept to being out in the wild because a lot depends on what the author's motives are and whether he wants to send it far and wide or if he just wants to show how good he is. The spread of viruses also depends on what people do with their phones. If they are only making calls, it's unlikely they will get infected.

David Emm

It is not going to be substantially better this year. We will be most unlikely to break even in the U.S. business next year as well.

Bernd Pischetsrieder

Our findings show that the technology is unlikely to be used by the majority of Americans and should not have an impact on the natural sex ratio.

Dr. Tarun Jain

Phased retirement is unlikely to be an option on final salary schemes.

Richard Harwood

Decreasing the refinancing rate would make credit more affordable. But analysts' forecasts, which take into account inflation and other macroeconomic variables, suggest that rate is unlikely to decrease in 2006.

Alla Trubnikova

[The] ridiculousness ... because these individuals are first offenders who are unlikely to commit a crime again.

Bernard J. Ebbers

It's unlikely that he will do something more extensive than government recommended in its proposed remedy. But his ruling is likely to be closer to the government's proposals than to Microsoft's.

Joe Sims

The doctors told us that unless he recovered significantly, it was unlikely that he would ever get a transplant. At one point, we felt that we were at the end of the road, but the doctors and nurses never gave up.

Guanglin Zhao

We believe it's hard to change people's habits and that the most practical solution is to improve the food they do eat. With a burger, for example, you would simply remove some of the fat and replace it with the seaweed extract, which is an entirely natural product from a sustainable resource. You'd have a healthier burger and it's unlikely to taste any different.

Jeff Pearson

I'm not expecting this November to be any different than it normally is, but it's unlikely we'll see the pace of growth we saw over the last few years.

Jeffrey Hirsch

We are concerned that rents are getting too high for the small business to survive. We hope the landlords recognize that and will lower them. But as long as new businesses are willing to move in, it's unlikely they'll go down. The free market decides what businesses come and go.

Phil Ehlinger

It's unlikely that the next administration will stray far from pursuing structural reforms. Even if the Democratic Party of Japan takes power, they will continue to push for fiscal reform.

Takahide Kiuchi

I can't say with 100 percent certainty that the deal is not going to happen but it is highly unlikely.

Steve O'neil

We believe the backlog at Sycamore has now been drawn quite thin and without a significant new customer win, which we think is unlikely, we see a good chance that Sycamore could fall short of earnings estimates within the next two quarters.

Michael Genovese

Of course, it may be that Russians are willing to spend more on furniture. But I think that is unlikely.

Peter Westin

I find it extremely unlikely that we don't finish No. 1. We didn't play well in our conference, but our conference is a lot tougher than our district.

Anthony Miziko

In our view, such a bid is unlikely, but cannot be ruled out.

Nicola Facciorusso

Quite unlikely to be the cause of the defects.

Charles Williams

Although some member countries have signaled an interest in reducing the cartel's production output target of 28 million b/d due to concerns of oversupply, a reduction is unlikely, in our view, given the current high crude oil prices, which have gained $5/bbl this year primarily as a result of a geopolitical risk in Iran and Nigeria.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

It's highly unlikely anyone President Bush appoints will be much different. There will be no radical change. The question is what flavor of conservative.

Paul Finkelman

Even if we did have an outbreak, which is unlikely, it's going to be very limited. And the number of birds involved will be very small.

Richard Lobb

They will play a part, but it's unlikely they will provide everything we need; they need more support, more aid in deployment.

Charles Curtis

Are unlikely to devote a continuous half-hour or more to any one site the way you might read a traditional paper magazine in one sitting.

Michael Kinsley

It's unlikely that we would keep a 14th or 15th guy that we would pay tax on.

Geoff Petrie

It runs on a cycle of a half an hour, ... Given what happened. It is unlikely we will be getting voice information from the (cockpit voice recorder).

Robert Francis

We're probably not looking at having a season next year. There may be a ram or two that would be in that category, but it's unlikely we would open the season with such a limited number of rams.

Gary Brundige

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. They will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We've been asked to pause for a reality check; we've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Barack Obama

Looming on the horizon is Rifle. I think it's unlikely that any of the boys are going to get Andy Banner's (single-season scoring) record this year. But, they have a chance to do something that last year's team didn't do by beating Rifle on the road.

David Cope

With the weather still relatively warm, the market is unlikely to sharply focus on the bullish heating oil market that is in the works. Refiners are making gasoline late in the year.

Antonio Szabo

Unlikely a valid trademark. ... The mark is a weak one as trademarks go.

Denny Chin

Users have had the opportunity to upgrade for a long time. It's unlikely that they would choose to do so now as a result of this announcement.

Dan Kaminsky

While a deal might still be completed for Albertson's, … we find it unlikely that another bidder emerges for a more attractive offer.

Robert Summers

We're in the fortunate position that Rod Eddington left the fleet in good shape. It's unlikely we will do anything in the short-term.

Willie Walsh

It's a sign of the frustration many Alaskans show with Sen. Cantwell and her stance on ANWR. It's highly unlikely we'd cut off our nose to spite her face.

Mike Chambers

The Bank of England currently seems unlikely to act before August given that growth in the first quarter appears to have been around trend, while survey evidence indicates that inflationary expectations have risen recently.

Howard Archer

They are looking for a mass evacuation plan. What we've said is a mass evacuation of the greater metro area is highly unlikely.

Kerry Reeve

We have long sought the answer to the question: Does postmenopausal hormone therapy prevent heart disease and, if it does, what are the risks? The bottom-line answer from [the Women's Health Initiative] is that this combined form of hormone therapy is unlikely to benefit the heart.

Claude Lenfant

We are unlikely to see a sharp turn of the law in any direction.

Goodwin Liu

While we would certainly prefer to be the single supplier of helmets to the Army, we realize that was unlikely to happen with this latest bid, given the military's desire to not limit production to an exclusive manufacturer.

William Lambert

Based on the data we have it's highly unlikely that it will produce any adverse effects and it is highly possible that it will produce useful effects.

Hasan Mukhtar

We don't expect the Fed to tighten anytime soon. The first tightening move is unlikely to occur before late summer at the very soonest.

Bruce Steinberg

Drugs are unlikely to fix everything.

Gregory Cole

U.S. payroll numbers are unlikely to give the dollar upward momentum, even if the numbers are good. Market sentiment toward the U.S. economy is worsening, buffeted by recent weaker data.

Tohru Sasaki

It's highly unlikely that the kind of majority we will see can pass the necessary reforms.

Susana Garcia

You are unlikely to see our science-based approach change just because of shifts in the public discourse.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb

Given the heinous nature of this case, it's unlikely the parole board will ever release him.

Jason Anderson

Koizumi's major victory in the election may push forward discussions on raising the consumption tax. But Koizumi is unlikely to change his stance of not raising the tax during his tenure, so any tax increase would be after 2007.

Takehiro Sato

The follow-on from this is that E.ON is unlikely to re-bid for Scottish Power in the near term.

Angelos Anastasiou

We experienced what I consider to be an extremely unlikely event. It was truly the straw that broke the camel's back.
