Attractive Quotes
Today's consumer electronics and computer systems each incorporate an increasing number of microprocessors that exploit the techniques protected by the MMP Portfolio. We are very pleased to witness a globally respected system manufacturer confirm our MMP Portfolio Licensing Program strategy.

Bring Quotes

Difference Quotes
At this level and above, when teams are evenly matched, normally the difference makers are special teams. There's nothing like taking an eight- or nine-play drive and scoring and then the other team gets in the end zone with the kickoff return - those are momentum swingers. We tell our guys, be the reason we won, not the reason we lost.

Advance Quotes
The threat of a Fed policy firming on Nov. 16 will continue to weigh on the markets, despite the weak payroll figures reported in this morning's employment report. The sharp advance (in wage growth) will, nevertheless, worry Fed policy makers who are already concerned about the tightness in the labor market.

Build Quotes
We weathered this storm with a reasonable outcome, but we have more tides coming at the end of the month, so we need to continue to restore things. This is a strong reminder to keep the pressure on our decision makers to continue to fund the local reclamation districts.

Above Quotes
Up until recently, oil price hikes have offset disinflation. This time around, we're in a situation where inflation is starting to peek its head above the parapet, and policy makers will see it more as an inflation threat. That's problematic -- if they have to start reacting to higher inflation pressures by raising rates, that does slow the economy down.

Businesses Quotes
Prices received rising so much is the first sign that businesses have increased power to pass on these energy-price increases. Energy will shortly be a major factor in the inflation equation, and this is what the Fed is worried about, so expect policy makers to keep pushing interest rates higher.

Biological Quotes
But the other thing is the question are you willing to take the first punch, and how big a punch would that be ...? Could it be an explosion of a nuclear or dirty bomb or the use of chemical or biological weapons, and are you willing to live with that. That is the challenge for policy makers and it is no small challenge.

Addition Quotes
We believe precipitous declines in NAND prices are being driven primarily by excess supply, as NAND makers have invested significant capital over the last several quarters. In addition to capital investments dedicated purely to NAND, the transition of DRAM capacity to NAND capacity has further exacerbated the supply problem in NAND.

Advisory Quotes
This initiative is a unique opportunity to help policy makers monitor the unmet needs of people whose lives were, and may continue to be, severely impacted by this unprecedented disaster.

This initiative is the result of much discussion and modeling on how to reach survivors of disasters, and is the first attempt to provide actionable information through an advisory group model.

Accord Quotes
This is an important generation for the future of hybrid vehicles. With these models as well as the Ford Escape and the Honda Accord we're starting to see hybrid versions of mainstream vehicles. The auto makers are giving customers a direct choice: to opt for hybrid technology on a given model, or not. Will they pay the premium for the hybrid technology when everything else about the vehicle is the same?

Dollars Quotes
In the U.S. you have a system of lobbying and influence on our policy and law makers which is incredibly pronounced. The gas industry spent $250 million getting an exemption from our Safe Water Act. Every one of those dollars is toxic; a contaminant in our political system. It disrupts the normal flow of justice, science, fact and reporting.

PC makers may have a lot of useful information, but if they rely on Microsoft, there may be some reluctance to come forward. Hopefully, this will show the government is serious and those companies will go forward.
