Analysis Quotations | Page 5

The tentative agreement on health care matters is the result of an in-depth analysis of G.M.'s financial situation and many weeks of intense discussion between the U.A.W. and G.M..

When someone claims that we should make a security improvement at the expense of privacy or other values, we should apply ordinary analysis to make sure that the security payoff is really there. If we get little or no security improvement and a large infringement on free speech or other values, then we should be very careful. If there is a big security payoff, then we deserve to look at that more carefully,

The president of the united states has authorized spying on American citizens and these are things that need to be dealt with because in the final analysis f we surrender especially civil liberties or things that make the nation great, the terrorists have won.

Science which has become a great power in the lastcentury, has analyzed everything divine handed down tous in the holy books. After this cruel analysis thelearned of this world have nothing left of all thatwas sacred. But they have only analyzed the parts andoverlooked the whole, and indeed their blindness ismarvelous.

I've always made my decisions based on two factors: intellectual analysis and my gut. And when they meet, that's a go from me. That's when I see the goal.

Automated analysis is probably the better way to figure out what Web sites are hostile. Robots are just staggeringly more efficient at these tasks.

ZEUS takes the relative output of the simulation and performs an objective analysis of statistical significance and skill sensitivity. There is simply not a more accurate way to assess a critical play-calling decision in football.

Always this same morbid interest in other people and their doings, their privacies, their dirty linen, always this air of alertness for personal happenings, personalities, personalities, personalities. Always this subtle criticism and appraisal of other people, this analysis of other people's motives. If anatomy presupposes a corpse, then psychology presupposes a world of corpses. Personalities, which means personal criticism and analysis, presuppose a whole world laboratory of human psyches waiting to be vivisected. If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink, at last, as human psychology.

A man becomes a scholar by the help of self-study and proper analysis of whatever he has studied.

Although there are puts and takes along with substantial integration risks, we think our support of the deal will be rewarded. Cost savings and a more powerful vendor should result in a trade to at least the mid-$20s; our sum-of-the-parts analysis comes up with $28 per share.

Although we have yet to see a flood of consumers trading in their large SUVs or trucks for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars, our analysis of 16 different vehicle segments clearly displays a relative weakening of demand for larger, less fuel-efficient vehicles.

They've done a lot of play by play, but they're going to be expected to do analysis now, and they understand that. They'll get to do a lot of games in Florida and get to know the players and (Phil) Garner. They'll get a real baptism, and it's not far off.

Putting a facility packed with radioactive material at Hawai'i's main airport, in the middle of urban Honolulu, and in a tsunami evacuation zone is almost asking for a natural disaster, air crash or terrorist attack. It is outrageous that the NRC has refused to conduct any analysis of the threats to the safety and health of me and my community that Pa'ina Hawaii's irradiator would pose.

Sales at best have been absolutely flat. My analysis is that we've become a nation of casual gardeners instead of gardening enthusiasts. People who are serious gardeners buy books.

People say that the two youths were pushed into the transformer station. I can say that the analysis that I saw excludes this. Now we have to show it.

Our analysis of economic developments almost surely will need to deal in greater detail with balance sheet considerations than was the case in the earlier decades of the postwar period,

Our analysis of government data shows that Ford F-150 performs as well, or better than, other pick-ups.

Our analysis of the locals market suggests that this concern is justified, given that it would take 5 percent population growth and 10 percent increased spending per person to grow same store sales 4 percent ... and to reach revenue targets for Red Rock (Resort) and South Coast.

Our analysis of truth and falsehood, or of the nature of judgment, is not very likely to be influenced by our hopes and fears.

Our analysis shows that ... you could make a 20-fold increase in safety in the center fuel tank on the 747 (with JP-5). That's worth going after.

Our analysis shows there have not been any significant price increases at all and pretty big savings. We have done a much wider monitoring and have not found any large changes in drug prices except where there was a data error.

Our analysis suggests that in some areas aid is only getting to a third of those who need it. What is crystal clear is that if donors don't rapidly fund the new UN appeal, the situation which is already critical, will get much worse.

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.

Our analysis suggests that there are significant safety issues with a substantial segment of Ford Explorers,

Our analysis suggests the pace of consumer spending is likely to slow in the near-term future,

Our analysis was very detailed on what habitat is suitable to be occupied.

Our export function is also supported by enterprise relationship management (ERM) software that provides full order processing-right from acceptance of the order through to dispatch and invoice. It is fully integrated with our financial ledgers, manufacturing and distribution functions. It also allows sales analysis and reporting features.

Our estimate for fourth quarter product revenue is approximately $1 billion. To achieve our estimate, we believe Amazon has to book about $750 million in the eight week holiday season. Our back-of-the-envelope analysis of the Delight-O-Meter suggests it is off to a solid start.

Technical analysis also dictates that the euro should decline with a head and shoulders pattern on the weekly charts generating a downside target of parity.

Technical analysis will show you unusual trading patterns which might indicate a takeover bid or an institution building up a stake.

Technical analysis works precisely because people look at it. And if people care, I care.

Our Senior Segment premiums rose 13%, or $23.6 million, for the year compared to 2004 due to new business and 2005 rate increases. To improve our results going forward, we believe that we implemented the necessary rate increases on our Medicare supplement blocks of business as we continue to focus on actuarial analysis and pricing. As we proactively face these challenges, we remain confident that our Medicare supplement plans will be a positive market for us in the future.

Felicity is brilliant. She did her prep work and script analysis so well that she could just close her eyes and become (the character) and things happened without her knowing it.

During the two centuries since the publication of 'The Wealth of Nations,' the main activity of economists, it seems to me, has been to fill the gaps in Adam Smith's system, to correct his errors and to make his analysis vastly more exact.

There was a lot of analysis but this is the prudent conclusion. Not many horses who win Group Ones at two and three manage a third season. At the moment, he is very hot with breeders, and retiring him now gives us a fantastic chance of establishing him as a successful stallion.

The results of these tests, coupled with Ford's analysis of the problem of tire aging, will allow federal regulators to make informed decisions about the safety of the replacement tires in question,

The results of this second well will be extremely important to us. Log analysis of our initial well indicates we are in a highly fractured area of the New Albany Shale, which is what is required to produce natural gas in commercial quantities.

The results that we have discovered mark a great first step in automatically assessing the quality and security of any given code base. However, our goal is not only to measure quality and security, but to make the projects that we analyze better. By opening up our analysis results to the core developers of these open source projects, we hope to work with them to reduce the number of defects and vulnerabilities in their code bases.

There's one monitor that the vibration there requires more analysis than the others. That's built into the plan and the NRC is overseeing this.

There's no obvious reason from this report to explain why further analysis is appropriate or even necessary.

We basically had all the students' projects presented to the public there, and the reaction was extremely positive. I'd say it was a very successful presentation, and I think they were impressed by the level of analysis that went into some of the projects.

This analysis reflects the changes in the media as much as it reveals the cyclical nature of film-making.

This analysis relies on self-reported data that is updated irregularly. However, we used the driver's license data because we have an enormous sample and because we have addresses. These two advantages outweigh any potential bias in the weight information.

This area is very fortunate to have her because we're doing drug analysis for the sheriff's office, North Police, Bowman, and other municipalities and towns,

This independent analysis from the GAO confirms that, without some protections, everyone loses.

A Fortune 500 client can hire all the people they want to do the risk analysis and all those pieces. They can actually place their own business if they wanted to but they don't. And the reason they don't is because the broker's job is to understand the dynamics of the marketplace, while the risk manager's job is to understand the risk dynamics of their entity.

This is a real problem only if you are working in a high-tech field or biotech or anywhere where there is highly-competitive software development or research and analysis going on,

This is a significant issue for the nation, ... It is a watershed issue of public policy that requires the review and analysis of our nation's highest court.

This is nothing but a shell game, picking and choosing to make the benefits to cost analysis come out the way they want. It's a shell game with sand and mud.

In many ways we're replicating what happens in American sport, where players come through the local university. We've already got 71 live projects working with Carnegie, whether that's sending our players to them for further education or their students helping us in areas such as marketing, statistical analysis and IT.

I hope we will have the analysis (Thursday) night,

In his role as CFO, Mark helped manage Noble's investment platforms representing capital of over $1 billion. His background in investment analysis and public and private finance will allow our development division to approach opportunities with well-rounded core competencies.

Initial analysis from the laboratory shows that the three people who had died did so as a result of bird flu.

I mean, we have taken care of threats emanating from sabotage, theft, natural causes like earthquake or hurricane -- but we did not take into the engineering analysis the possibility of an aerial attack by a large aircraft.

If significant noncompliance with the standards is found, it may be necessary to perform additional analysis of the conditions.

I'm one of five individuals who paid to have a legal analysis of the bill done, and that analysis came back and said it is not constitutional.

I met his cousin a few years ago in Mobile and he said Chris was creating home ownership opportunities in the area. We're in the talking stages, but it's definitely going to happen. We are looking for land to do an environmental analysis on. In the meantime, I want to find citizens who are interested in home ownership.

In our opinion, the simple analysis of the downward revision is the watch business stinks, it's not going to get better for a long time, and investors should stay on the sidelines until we see signs of a turnaround.

In the final analysis we believe that freedom and democracy are not byproducts for economic prosperity, they are conditions for it, ... This is not the time to vote. This is not the time to give up our leverage once and for all.

In the final analysis we have managed to end 2005 with all the pieces that were fragmented throughout 2004 and working together with some clear direction.

In the last analysis we must be judged by what we do and not by what we believe. We are as we behave - with a very small margin of credit for our unmanifested vision of how we might behave if we could take the trouble.

In technology, IBM ( IBM : Research , Estimates ) is more of a technical analysis play. The stock has broken out, or getting very close to breaking out, of a trading range. And I think the market's still going to give a premium to quality companies in technology. IBM being listed doesn't get that Nasdaq appeal, however. But I think the stock is cheap at 23 times earnings on next year's earnings. And their big server market and the other types of technology they have are doing very well in the service sector.

Instead of sending a sample to a laboratory where they do some kind of elaborate analysis and eventually give you a result, they'll just have you blow on this chip and have the results then and there.

So far it looks fine, but it will be awhile before we're sure about that arm position. We'll be doing further analysis to see if there are other poses that are better for the arm.

At a recent price of $23.60, Hutchison is selling at a hefty multiple of 16 times cash flow. Its price-to-earnings ratio is meaningless since it is currently posting a loss on the bottom line. For a more mature company, these valuations might be troubling, but since Hutchison is in such an extremely rapid growth phase, traditional valuation analysis is a difficult exercise. If you wait for the ratios to make sense, you'll miss the opportunity.

The benefit from this is that in this 2.2-mile stretch of water, you will see sometimes lower salinity. To me, that's a cost analysis you've got to do.

The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.

The BEST task force concept incorporates personnel from existing intelligence groups -- involved in both collection and analysis -- to help identify and disseminate information relating to violent smuggling organizations.

Any analysis of the demographics of emerging markets tells you that consumer finance is going to be an important part, and a rapidly growing part, of the financial-services spectrum for a long time to come,

This is a very casual, informal process that doesn't allow public comment, environmental analysis and doesn't consider conflicts with other uses,

Data analysis serves as a process that underpins scientific inquiry. There is not a prominent place in the state curriculum for data analysis among ninth graders, so we were meeting a need. Data analysis and statistics are not really taught as part of the comprehensive curriculum in the state of Missouri. We wanted to give the kids a chance to work with statistics. Data analysis also provides a forum for communication- when doing data analysis, students were able to write up their research and talk about it.

The normal process is that you would have the SEPA responsible official make the choice. My own personal view is that you have enough detail in that analysis to make a decision.

The next step for us will be to conduct forensic lab analysis of his computers. To see what images are on the computers, how many and how they got there.

The next step (in pursuing a rail link) would be to do an alternatives analysis and a draft environmental impact statement. But we don't have a time frame for going forward, and we don't have the project in our capital budget.

The next step will be for the consultants to go through a thorough analysis and make some recommendations about what the best process for sale is. Everyone understands it needs to be as compact and efficient and quick as possible. At the same time, it has to be appropriate. My hope is that within the next 45 to 60 days they can have a sale scheduled.

It's probably the most systematic analysis of what has been happening to the people inside Kosovo.

It?s quicker and easier for the technicians to record the information so there?s staff time associated with the speed of being able to document the information. From a management side, many facilities will do a manual tally of information monthly off of their paper systems. And an electronic system saves managers a tremendous amount of time in doing the data collection and analysis to determine department productivity and efficiency information.

It's unclear what level of analysis is being done beforehand to determine appropriate levels of security for particular systems. In most businesses, it's a waste of resources to protect every system to the maximum extent possible. Some systems just aren't that mission-critical.

Evolutionary analysis is a handmaiden to human medicine.

The large number of safety studies indicates that this issue has received a great amount of attention. Unfortunately, many of these studies involve more advocacy than science. It's not that these studies aren't valuable, but they have problems with methodology, statistical analysis and even simple understanding of important terms, such as 'speeding.' In accident data, speeding is defined as both 'traveling faster than the posted limit' and 'traveling too fast for conditions.' Studies often do not differentiate between these definitions.

The fault line of race is a paramount factor in keeping us from realizing our potential as a state and as a nation. The elimination of this line is what I think this institute is about. . . . Our task in the final analysis is to cause more of us to look in the mirror.

The Fed and the ECB view monetary data completely differently. The emphasis the ECB places on this analysis is a little excessive. If we were in charge of interest- rate policy, we would keep them on hold.

The laboratory analysis is still ongoing. It just takes this long sometimes, and that's the bottom line.

It signals that the labor market has now moved again to center stage in the Fed's analysis and policymaking process.

The value of this data for the consumer is limited. The methods of data collection and analysis are complex. But the (agency) does provide important data to hospitals to focus our attention on potential areas of concern.

The various agencies involved will be meeting next week to review the public comment and analysis and narrow down the number of designs under consideration.

It's harder to take politics seriously, to understand the issues, than it is to drown it all in a sea of scorn. And while the world cries out for greater analysis and insight, we are distracted by bread and circuses, aka the 'Great British Bake-Off' and 'Tumble.' We should rediscover our tradition of satire. Of speaking truth unto power.

They could have an increase (in gas mileage) two to three times what was proposed using off-the-shelf technologies that are standard and proven. Our analysis has shown these technologies could be deployed in 10 years to get light trucks up around 35 miles per gallon.

In a company of 50,000 employees, it is a great honor to receive this distinction. Five years ago, Waste Management implemented an exciting new customer service program that operates according to the premise that perfect service can be achieved through effective employee education and communication. This initiative is called Service Machine and relies on effective tracking, timely review, analysis and ongoing coaching to ensure that these standards are consistently achieved. This group of men and women consistently lead the way, from financial performance to collection productivity improvements to growing the company's revenue.

In pharmaceuticals, the counterfeit program is described as a $30 billion issue. So the cost-benefit analysis in tagging shipments of Viagra is a lot more beneficial than tagging cans of Campbell's Soup.

I therefore have no reason to believe that the analysis of the samples was not regular. Yes, the laboratory found EPO traces in many samples. It may be that EPO traces disappear gradually from urine, but it cannot be that no EPO should be in them and then it emerges as if from nowhere.

Climate warming is a certainty in our future and the bottom line in this analysis is that we looked at the impact of the warming and the long-term prognosis is clear and very dire,

In the publication, utilization and analysis of the survey results, departments and local governments concerned should continue to abide by the Statistics Law and the Regulations on National Economic Survey, to protect business confidentiality and privacy of the respondents, and to honor earnestly the commitments of not levying any penalties on the respondents on the basis of survey information.

In the case of Iraq the quality of intelligence and the analysis of that intelligence was abysmally bad.

His analysis of Sen. Bartlett's proposal is accurate. The governor's vision of making a Vermont college education affordable and accessible for every family is important to the long-term economic security of Vermont. It is the single best use of this available resource.

His appearance and analysis under the circumstances would be wholly inappropriate.

Behavioral observation, documentation, and analysis are the primary steps in the process of finding creative solutions.

Schizophrenia --its nature, etiology, and the kind of therapy to use for it--remains one of the most puzzling of the mental illnesses. The theory of schizophrenia presented here is based on communications analysis, and specifically on the Theory of Logical Types. From this theory and from observations of schizophrenic patients is derived a description, and the necessary conditions for, a situation called the "double bind"--a situation in which no matter what a person does, he "can't win." It is hypothesized that a person caught in the double bind may develop schizophrenic symptoms

Peter Tertzakian's analysis of world oil is a fascinating reminder that history often foretells the major turning points of the future.
