Engineered Quotations

We engineered activity out of our lives in the name of convenience. We created foods that put fried, fatty, sweet, and salty ahead of fresh, natural, and healthy. We quickly sacrifice sleep to work longer hours in pursuit of the American Dream. Even when we do these things with good intentions, they have life-threatening consequences.

By themselves, genetically engineered crops will not end hunger or improve health or bolster the economies of struggling countries. They won't save the sight of millions or fortify their bones. But they will certainly help.

The No Child Left Behind Act will be one of President Bush's enduring legacies. And it was engineered and inaugurated with a truly bipartisan coalition in Congress. Accountability, standards, and truly measuring student performance just makes sense. The only real debate about the law was and is whether or not it was adequately funded.

A common misconception about how things such as space shuttles come to be is that engineers simply apply the theories and equations of science. But this cannot be done until the new thing-to-be is conceived in the engineer's mind's eye. Rather than following from science, engineered things lead it.

You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.

In 49 countries around the world, including all of Europe, people have the opportunity of knowing whether or not they are eating food which contains genetically engineered ingredients. In the United States, we don't.

Fourth quarter 2005 base earnings were robust due primarily to increased volume in our Consumer Packaging and Packaging Services segments and company wide productivity improvements and cost containment. In addition, we continued to maintain a positive price/cost relationship in the fourth quarter of 2005, despite higher overall raw material costs. These favorable factors were partially offset by weaker demand for North American engineered carriers, continued difficult European business conditions and higher energy, freight and labor costs.

I am deeply devoted to the 27,000 songs I can take anywhere on my iPod Classic as well as the exquisitely engineered MacBook Air on which I typed this column.

Our new video player delivers on those demands by providing an exciting and TV-like experience on their computer screens.

Jed Bernstein leaves a completely different League than he found when he took this job 10 years ago. The transformation he has engineered is truly remarkable. What we now know as the Broadway Brand, with its numerous new programs, sponsorships, and greatly expanded public profile, is largely Jed's creation. We will miss him.

Panama City Beach was the smart guys - they have an engineered beach. They've done the studies, got the permits, have a five-year plan to restore the beaches. We tried to get that done, but, unfortunately, we didn't. I just hired a beach project manager.

Our society today has changed to the point where it's easier to be overweight than to be fit. We've engineered walking out of our lifestyle. We give our kids door-to-door service everywhere.

Our roadways are not designed for that kind of speed, ... Our roads are engineered for the purpose of 55 to 65 mph. Only racetracks are engineered and banked for that kind of speed.

I think future engineered species could be the source of food, hopefully a source of energy, environmental remediation and perhaps replacing the petrochemical industry.

I think it was misleading not to tell participants that that this drug was genetically engineered from hamster cells and that it was designed to alter their immune system. Reasonable people would think twice before allowing an experimental drug to change their immune system.

The production and consumption of genetically engineered food plants are realities although their dissemination has been limited.

We recognize that some people don't want to have separate imaging devices for their photos and video. Our new Cyber-shot has been specifically engineered for these people.

When our leaders allow and even encourage abuse at the 'outer limits', America suffers. A nation that works to bring freedom and liberty to other parts of the world shouldn't stomach brutality and inhumanity within its ranks. This abuse of power was engineered and accepted at the highest levels of our government.

When people are out having a good time, they don't want to spend it learning how to avoid taking blurry pictures. We've engineered our flagship T-series camera with intelligent, automatic features so people can spend more time having fun and less time understanding technology.

There is no question about it, the rebel offensive against Deby was engineered in Khartoum.

What's new here is not the use of umbilical cord blood in the treatment of a life-threatening disease, but it's the way the transplant was engineered and the way the baby was conceived.

CSA-54 killed a wide range of HIV isolates, and completely blocked genetically engineered HIV that enters the cells independent of the cell surface receptor the virus normally uses.

Coral is a study in contrasts delicately engineered yet sculptural in shape. It holds a natural allure that appeals to our love of all things bright and beautiful.

Today, we simply don't have a system to catch the illegal use of genetically engineered ingredients. We don't even have a system that requires mandatory safety tests, Mr. Chairman, to make sure that genetically engineered products, when they are used properly, are safe.

These new genetically engineered food crops are the first wave of a generation of 'Brave New World' foods that are going to have serious health and environmental repercussions,

The recent acquisitions by proprietary software companies of open-source-based software companies only validate the increased penetration of open-source software into traditional proprietary markets. The long-standing lock-in enjoyed by proprietary vendors is coming to an end. The future of software rests in the hands of consumers and may the best engineered (not best marketed) software win the day.

Deng engineered the most dramatic economic transformation of the 20th century, maybe ever. He changed China from a moribund, communist economy to an expansive, bull, rapidly growing mixed economy, with Marxism and market elements both present there. And it's a dramatic change.

Specific design needs to come into play for the female golfer. For example, women's golf clubs are an inch and a half shorter than men's -- that needs to be managed. On the carry side, a woman's shoulders are closer together, so the straps need to be engineered differently.

December set the stage for what we plan to realize in 1999. We are now expanding our truck offerings and refining our car mix -- it's a rich portfolio designed and engineered to score with customers.

Audi and Infiniti are ahead of many of their competitors in side-impact protection. They engineered the new models to do well in both of the Institute's tests, and they want to get the results out more quickly to demonstrate to buyers their cars' state-of-the-art crashworthiness.

Automakers have engineered numerous new safety technologies into SUVs over the past several model years to prevent rollovers.

Our applications business is strong and getting stronger, ... Oracle's new e-Business Suite puts every aspect of a business -- marketing, sales, service, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, accounting, human resources -- everything, on the Internet. All the applications in our suite are designed and engineered to work together, so customers buying the entire suite don't need to do any systems integration.

There is reason to suspect an LeT hand behind this. The damage caused by the blasts shows the bombs were powerful and they could not have been engineered by local groups.

I've always been a sucker for any technology engineered primarily for the entertainment of the human race - even such technology as has been disguised as 'useful' or 'improving' when we all know the real virtue lies in its ability to distract and divert.

This is one of the most industrialized, highly engineered delta systems in the world.

This is a normal, cyclical slowdown in growth, engineered by the Fed, ... That's what the Fed told us they were going to do a year ago. They achieved it and don't want to overdo it.

This is a normal, cyclical slowdown in growth, engineered by the Fed. That's what the Fed told us they were going to do a year ago. They achieved it and don't want to overdo it.

I'm outraged that a genetically engineered alfalfa will contaminate the South Dakota alfalfa seed that has been developed over generations. Bees pollinate alfalfa, and we know that bees can forage for miles. The introduction of genetically engineered alfalfa practically guarantees that there will be no genetically engineered-free seed in a matter of a few years.

I have never seen John Kerry give anything but an engineered response.

Social media, for all of its limitations, is rarely irrelevant. The stream of updates on your Facebook page, for instance, is algorithmically engineered to be darn-near irresistible.

The Fed seems to have engineered a soft landing.

In the case of genetically engineered foods, however, consumers may not be able to discriminate.

All this stuff is backward engineered from what works. Nobody sat at a computer and invented these techniques. They watched guys who are successful and broke it down to what works.

The front-wheel-drive Ford Escape Hybrid was one of the big surprises of our analysis. It gets between 31 and 36 miles per gallon, which is unheard for a vehicle of its size and utility. It has a four-cylinder engine but gives drivers nearly the power of a six-cylinder engine without hurting their wallet. And the industry is finding that all hybrids are proving to be well engineered and therefore allow owners to maintain a very low Cost of Ownership.

These products are not just engineered to outwit the competition, but more so to reflect the diversity of the American consumer we know so well.

This was a company that never really got the benefits of being a conglomerate. The value creation is going to be seen in what businesses Tyco keeps - the industrial businesses, engineered products and fire and security - because that's where the management team has the potential to reduce costs.

For the most part, bar codes are better at collecting data in highly structured and engineered processes, such as warehouses, and this will likely continue for the next five to seven years. However, RFID tags will be used for data collection of mobile assets and in largely chaotic or unstructured business processes, ranging from retail environments to hospitals, enabling these environments that lack sophisticated process engineering or controls to be systematically managed.

The Mazda CX-7 represents everything a Mazda SUV should be: powerful, stylish, beautifully crafted and fun to drive. Being the first of three vehicles designed, engineered and built specifically for North America, the CX-7 is crucially important to the Mazda lineup and to the success of Mazda as a whole.
