It seems there was a fairly robust debate about the pros and cons of moving or not.

Brian Morris

The outlook for 2006 is quite robust as we are looking for the growth momentum to be maintained. The main reason for the higher fourth-quarter numbers was the manufacturing sector.

Ho Woei Chen

The global economy today is growing at its fastest pace in 30 years: five per cent in 2004, four per cent in 2005 and will continue robust growth expected in 2006. Indeed, there is a world of unprecedented opportunities for business industries and markets in every region of the world including Jamaica and the Caribbean nations.

Alex Ibrahim

I have had a lot of tough decisions since coming to the University of Cincinnati, ... I wanted a bigger, more complex institution with a large medical program, a robust athletic program, all the complement of colleges and departments that come with a full-service, comprehensive research institution. And I got it.

Nancy Zimpher

Demand remains incredibly robust. Housing activity in the rest of the country was very robust, and the destruction in the Gulf states just wasn't enough to move the needle downward.

Bob Walters

We have a vision we're implementing of a much more active and robust U.S.-Japanese alliance in the region that is constructive and helps provide peace and stability. To the degree that Japan is not seen as constructive, as having not dealt with its past, and therefore not welcome to be involved in the region, it hurts us.

Derek Mitchell

All of their business lines were robust, and I expect to see that continue.

Thomas Weisel

We're looking at a healthy, robust market.

Brad Nisbet

Gary Dilts

This is the single greatest expansion in research and development since Amgen was founded in 1980. What's driving this is our robust pipeline.

Carol Pawlak

One of the things I really believe in is efficiency. That means software applications that can easily port and run [on AMD chips], efficient processors from a power management standpoint, and things that can be put into the silicon to make the user environment more friendly and robust.

Phil Hester

Future growth looks a little less robust than analysts had been expecting.

Jamelah Leddy

Here, buildings have to be more robust structurally because of the threat of earthquakes.

Douglas Hanson

Justin Smirk

The 'build out' has been more robust and more active in Montgomery than in the other two jurisdictions, but it's ramping up.

Jim Gordon

It's obvious that the U.S. economy is very strong and producing jobs at a very robust pace. Even with the relatively tame wage gains, the market is anticipating another interest rate increase from the Fed.

Rob Palombi

The argument is that in most species, males will compete with each other for females, and females prefer robust males.

Ralph Catalano

We can't see the ways in which this might get complicated, and we want to develop the most robust system we can.

Howard Cohen

Sterling has been remarkably robust in an environment where it could easily have lost ground, that encourages me that there has been some real underlying support and demand for the currency.

Simon Derrick

EDS continued to perform well in a very challenging economic environment, ... Our robust contract signings over the past two years have kept revenues growing well ahead of industry rates.

Dick Brown

In some markets we're seeing reasonably strong deposit growth and pretty much across the board, commercial and industrial, middle-market business loans are fairly robust. It's a sign the economy remains fairly strong.

Mark Batty

We are now spending heavily to upgrade production capacity in order to cope with the robust demand for our vehicles all over the world.

Takeshi Suzuki

We're concerned that even if you have a robust basic Internet and higher-speed lane, they will only make it available to their favorite partners, and that's discrimination.

Gigi Sohn

From the economic viewpoint, Treasury yields are too low. We are expecting robust growth in the first quarter and that will lead to a correction in the bond market.

Yasutoshi Nagai

Unemployment fell to its lowest point in almost four years due to two consecutive months of robust job growth, which was dispersed broadly across the Iowa economy. The state's labor force also declined by 6,800 in March, which was another factor in alleviating unemployment.

David Neil

The fundamentals for the nickel market continue to be positive and reinforce the requirement for the mining industry to develop new nickel resources to keep up with robust demand.

Mike O'hare

It's really a robust mission.

Daniel Andrews

Inventories of gasoline are very robust right now.

Michael Ervin

Before anyone else, Macquarie saw the potential of the U.S. market. They have the most robust model of highways as a new utility that can be an investor-owned utility like gas and electric utilities.

Robert Poole

The trade surplus didn't narrow as much as people had been expecting so that's going to help the yen. The data coming out of Japan is looking pretty robust. So that's going to help the yen.

Kamal Sharma

The overall global economy is robust, and there's quite good demand from many end-markets.

Tim Albrecht

Overall, IBM will paint a picture that demand is solid. It may not be as robust as earlier in the year, but things haven't fallen off a cliff.

Harry Blount

It'll boost first-quarter GDP at a robust pace given the sluggishness of the fourth quarter.

Keith Hembre

Anytime you have congregations worshipping either at multiple times or multiple locations, you run the risk of not having a robust, rich sense of who the congregation is. It's disjointed pieces and therefore allows for little cliques or niches within the congregation.

Scott Thumma

We had a strong first quarter with results significantly improved from the previous quarter, reflecting robust demand and continued firm prices across all business units.

John Surma

We're confident value-style investing is robust and is going to be around.

Michael Sandler

The dollar still looks robust against most of the major currencies. As we get closer to the next Fed decision, the market's going to be tempted to price in more and more rate increases.

Richard Yetsenga

As long as productivity growth maintains its recent pattern, then I think he'll be in a nice position to maintain price stability and robust growth.

Mark Gertler

The oil infrastructure is robust enough to deal with a 5% cut in supply.

Fatih Birol

It's going to come down to how sales are pre-Christmas, what we hear from the retail sector, ... I would expect next week, while remaining positive, to have not as robust a move as we saw this week.

Marc Pado

The question is whether the new forecast sticks to the previous projection of robust growth and at/above-target inflation or whether some of the downside risks get incorporated into the central projection.

Royal Bank

In the state and the country, the overall market is cooling a bit, but we will retain a robust market for the foreseeable future.

Kit Hale

We're extremely excited about the opportunities with this alliance. We're at an age right now as we move to the new economy where we really are seeing the intersection of the Internet with robust enterprise solutions that will be driven from the Windows 2000 platform.

Joe Forehand

There are some signs that high oil prices are making consumers adjust the way they spend money and that will affect demand at the margin. But, underlying demand in the U.S. economy is pretty robust.

Standard Life

Overall, we've seen the reports coming in line and guidance hasn't been horrible, it just hasn't been robust either.

Gint Rimas

Overall retail sales growth in December should be robust.

David Greenlaw

Maybe the inhibitory network is where the capacity is for large-scale changes. What's more, this growth is tied to use, so even as adults, the more we use our minds, the more robust they can be.

Elly Nedivi

The labor market has been robust. In the last month, we got a good payrolls report so that probably helped.

Elisabeth Denison

As long as the data point to an ongoing economic recovery, they should feel comfortable about normalizing rates. If anything, the survey numbers are more robust than before.

Elga Bartsch

Its a matter of money. Their site is very robust. It's a fascinating announcement. Making it prior to the Christmas season leads me to believe they're probably bleeding pretty badly.

Elaine Rubin

Robust imaging must be a part of every e-commerce site where image detail is essential to the sale.

Edward Miller

Japanese economic conditions are relatively good at this moment, and it will continue to be fairly robust. The Bank of Japan will start to raise rates toward the end of the year.

Eisuke Sakakibara

We feel that numbers are not as bad as people think as a few high profile names have reported below expectations. Numbers so far have come down from where they were but have still come in about 5% ahead of analysts' forecasts ... We believe that growth rates are still pretty robust at about six percent growth for the year.

Ed Keon

New Orleans did not have a robust economy to begin with. I think it's going to be very difficult for New Orleans to truly come back. It will take years.

Earl Black

They look sadder unlike in the first meeting when they were very robust and looked more hopeful because they have not been charged.

Zosimo Paredes

China's high rate of bank savings, investment, robust market demand and abundant labor forces guarantee the rapid growth of the Chinese economy.

Zheng Jingping

Companies in the electronics supply chain ultimately need real-time content that is integrated with a robust Product Data Management (PDM) system.

Eric Karofsky

This administration has continued the robust and vigorous enforcement of civil rights laws, ... These accomplishments could not have been achieved without teamwork between career attorneys and political appointees.

Eric Holland

Despite little marketing effort to date, each episode generates thousands of online applications. Based on the quality of these leads, we are now moving forward quickly with plans to roll out our distribution network, which will include a robust Web site and lead-generation engine, a call center and home buyer counseling services.

Eric Gorrell

Given the very robust environment of demand and Intel's new product lineup, we had surmised that there might have been upside. As it turned out, there was indeed more demand in the first quarter, but Intel could not meet it.
