Jim Lehrer

Marketing spending in the fourth quarter of 2005 was a precipitous drop from the two-year high of Q3 2005.

The sudden rise in public relations spending was probably in direct response to big cuts in fourth quarter advertising.

Carl Howe

Other than the fact that they closed the splits down, which kept us from slanting and getting into the lanes, they didn't do anything that was unexpected.

Before we started rehearsing, we watched documentaries and showed them footage of it. And, they had similar events in their lives that they can sort of hold onto and use the analogy for.

And if this means less activity for the meatpacking industry, what does that mean for jobs?

Felipe Noguera

What a fortuitous blessing it was for me. It was unexpected joy.

Steffany Gamsby

Karr Ingham

There can be little doubt that the cash highs have been made in the cattle market for now. In fact, we may have seen the cyclical high price barring some unexpected outside influence. Any rallies of 150 to 200 points in both fats and feeders should be viewed as good selling opportunities.

Bob Price

What some of these results show is unexpected and contradicts previous research. Clearly more extensive study into both the causes of bankruptcy and those directly affected must be done.

Leslie Linfield

It has been totally unexpected. We live paycheck to paycheck, like everybody else. But we feel like we're better off than a lot of people. It never occurred to us to ask for any help.

It is an unexpected but very, very intriguing finding. It seems counterintuitive that Mother Nature would press on the brake and gas pedal at the same time.

Matthias Tschop

Three to six months' worth of savings for living expenses is the minimum every household should have, no matter its income.

Alan Kopit

We believe that our confirmatory testing indicated that the problem was confined to a limited number of lots, ... Therefore, today's action ... is unexpected and disappointing. But we respect the regulatory authority's judgment, because we believe it's fundamentally based on concerns for safety.

Dale Kildee

We were looking for something unexpected to try just to see what it would do.

Andrew Gowers

Jim Stagnitta

This was not unexpected and I respect Alex for making this family decision.

Doug Wilson

Very often, footage that you have shot develops its own dynamic, it's own life, that is totally unexpected, and moves away from you're original intentions. And you have to acknowledge, yes, there is a child growing and developing and moving in a direction that isn't expected-accept it as it is and let it develop its own life.

Werner Herzog

This is not unexpected. The plane had very few orders and it would've hurt their bottom line to continue selling it. It was wise in my opinion.

Jennifer M. Granholm

Yan Derocles

Being prepared for the unexpected is particularly important when travel is experiencing a growth surge, as it is now. Crowds, severe weather and tight connections affect the entire travel experience, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
