Robbi Pritchard

The mining sector has been weighing on the index though it's about time they had a bit of profit taking.

Joel Maturi

She came in with a lot of expectations for her to do well. When you're a highly touted blue-chip recruit like she was, sometimes that pressure can weigh on a freshman.

Skip Pighetti

Violence will surely continue to weigh on the euro.

Michiyoshi Kato

Today, existing home sales are strong and that appears to be weighing on the market a bit because Treasury yields are higher.

This introduces a real annoyance factor to users on the road—it slows down their access. So we must weigh these things.

Sheila Taylor

We understand how stars form in the crudest sense. They are formed when clouds of dust and gas collapse, but many of the details of the process remain a mystery, particularly the factors that determine what a star will weigh.

Keivan Stassun

We're honored that we played well enough to get to this point. The thing that we'll look at is that there's only a handful of teams that have been able to win back-to-back championships. I think that will weigh heavily on our mind.

Michael Rabasca

Sheila Krumholz

Totally destroyed. These things weigh over 1500 pounds. They're not anchored in the ground. We've never had a problem with wind or anything like that blowing them over or causing damage. This is just unbelievable.

Scott Irwin

When I played, a 300-pounder was a freak. Today, if you don't weigh 300 pounds you are a freak.

There is certainly more going on than just hurricanes and a resulting spike in gasoline prices, ... could weigh on people's attitudes.

Patrick Fearon

I'll just have to weigh it up and if I'm still playing and playing well and training hard ... and enjoying my footy, then who knows.

Andrew Johns

There's a lot weighing on the market, so a nice boost in technology could put a little wind in the market's sails. You've got a market that is cautious and tentative. Yesterday was a nice rise . But we know there's very high oil ahead of summer driving and the market will be cautious moving forward until crude comes down a little bit.

Jason Leander

As long as eBay continues its current policy on non-disclosure of these metrics, we think investors will be very cautious as to their expectations of eBay's success in China, which would weigh on the stock.

Robert Peck

We should let the people of the Northwest decide the fate of Snake River salmon. This resolution is designed to take dam removal off the table before the public has a chance to weigh in. The Corps of Engineers is just about to release its five-year, $20 million study, but this resolution is trying to prejudge what should be a public decision.

Scott Faber

Actors are trusting souls, and we must go by gut-level instinct, even after our agents and business managers weigh all the odds.

Anne Archer

You don't have an option to I-35 if you're going north and south. It's a cost-benefit they'll have to weigh.

Greg Fuller

Everything's off, and I think Pfizer is weighing down on it.

Stephen Carl

The view that borrowing costs in the U.S. will keep on rising is weighing on stocks.

Minoru Takada

There is a lot of things to weigh up when a transfer happens, and money is a big factor.

Richard Gough

It could really be that the prime minister doesn't know how much he weighs ... because fat people don't like to know how much they weigh.

Amnon Dankner

Now my innocence begins to weigh me down.

Francois Rabelais

We're trying to evaluate the timing and the options now, but we're committed to making sure this does not come into effect. It's a sad day for the women of South Dakota. We had really hoped that the governor would weigh women's health as more important than politics.

Cecile Richards

The Pfizer news is weighing down the market.

Giri Cherukuri

I believe the process to reach these conclusions was flawed. I believe the process failed to fairly consider and weigh all of the relevant information provided or which could have been provided.

Rene Portland

I usually skip breakfast, and if I'm worried about my weight I'll skip lunch or dinner. We get to eat after weigh-ins, and I've always felt ready to go on the mat.

James Lloyd

Over the past 25 years, only sixty-three 15-year-old or older male bears have been examined at check stations during the hunting seasons. Equally interesting is that Seaman's bear outweighs most 15-year-old male bears, which?typically weigh between 400 and 600 pounds.

Mark Ternent

With winter speeding by, there isn't much time left to generate significant demand. Unless several weeks of sustained cold materialize over the next two months or so, supply should be more than adequate. This could weigh heavily on prices if this condition persists into the restocking season after April 1st.

John Kilduff

Coyotes are supposed to weigh under 30 pounds, ... We have some very large ones 45 pounds and over.

Robin Burns

What is bravery? I think it's largely when one acts spontaneously before weighing the possibilities of self-injury.
