Net Quotations | Page 2

Net revenues for the year are up on earlier budget predictions by more than 2 million.

Nets are generally defined as devices for capturing something. In a more narrow but more important sense, we might define a net as anything that entices or prevents us from following the call of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.

Net wealth hardly grew despite a substantial rise in house values.

My legislation provides that Net Neutrality rules would have 'no force or effect' and prohibits similar rules from being published or re-issued.

I didn't really know what was going on. I thought about going out of the net and not playing into his game, but then I thought he had the (nerve) to go on the ice, so I let him have a free shot at me.

I have gotten calls from a number of senior high-tech executives who are telling me that the market is dissolving rapidly before their eyes. But I suspect that a not inconceivable possibility is that what is dissolving in front of their eyes is their own personal net worth!

I go to the net and try to create some scoring chances.

I didn't want to take the ball to the net but they kind of forced me in that direction. I wanted to try to burn as much clock as I could. . . . I probably should have just held on to it.

Man, he's just magical sometimes. That first goal was unbelievable, a highlight-reel goal. Then he went to the net hard and potted two more. He's a goal scorer. He's going to do that for the rest of his career.

When this team executes, they are fun to watch. You have to dictate tempo against them. When they take the ball out of the net it makes it a lot easier to get back into our transition defense.

Lower costs will give you higher net returns. I think cost is critically important.

Let's wait and see how this all turns out. I don't think we are quite ready to say what Net neutrality is.

Lending practices have become so aggressive that many people are qualifying for mortgages above and beyond the old guidelines. I think the total house expense shouldn't exceed 28% of net income, and the mortgage plus other debt such as a student and car loan shouldn't be more than 36% of gross income.

Let's say that a patient has a prescription for a liquid medication and it costs me a net of $50. So I get the cost of that plus that $1.50. When I reach into the drawer, I just spent that $1.50 for the cost of the bottle to put it in.

Mr. Oken may have lost some credibility with analysts when the bank's net interest margin dropped dramatically,

Molson Coors' third-quarter results were driven primarily by a very favorable effective tax rate of 6.4 percent. Consolidated volume was basically flat and net sales were up 0.3 percent.

McDonald's crossed the $20 billion mark for the first time in global sales and also did it while translating 12.7 percent of that into net income, which is very admirable for a restaurant company.

McLaren goes to the net and gets tackled and if that's not interference and this little thing is interference? Give me a break.

Most of the time, we have bake sales and garage sales to raise funds. Most of the time, our fund-raisers net us $3,000 to $5,000, so to get $225,000 is huge.

Sheldon (Souray) shot it at the net and Saku (Koivu) had a shot at it and (Alex) Kovalev had a shot, and I suddenly found myself with an open net,

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales and operating revenues increased slightly to 11.4% in this year's third quarter from 11.3% in last year's quarter. As expected, the moderate rate of increase in unit comps was not sufficient to provide SG&A leverage. Having a larger percentage of our store base comprised of stores not yet at basic maturity and last year's lower-than-normal corporate bonuses were also contributing factors. At the end of this year's third quarter, 49% of our stores were less than four years old, compared with 40% at the end of last year's third quarter.

Simply put, Canada's balance of payments remains exceptionally strong. It is very tough to make the case that the Canadian dollar is wildly overvalued when the country continues to chalk up solid current account surpluses and net inflows in foreign direct investment.

Should Congress grant video providers the extraordinary regulatory relief represented by national broadband video franchises -- turning nearly 40 years of local control of video services on its head -- Congress must also ensure net neutrality. Such a policy would ensure that those same companies make their broadband networks available to all applications, content and service providers on a nondiscriminatory basis.

Senior executives may find themselves facing decisions other pre-retirees don't need to consider. For instance, they may have a large portion of their net worth invested in employer stock and still feel strong ties to that employer. And for former executives who have a great deal of their net worth tied up in stock options, this can pose a dilemma: how can they balance their need to diversify with their desire to maintain involvement with the company and benefit from its future success?

Seasonally adjusted net mortgage lending fell back to around the recent trend in January and the level of approvals, in particular for equity withdrawal, held up well in what is traditionally a slow month.

Several of our customers have basically a net booking of close to zero this quarter,

On a net basis, it is still quite positive.

On a net, net, net basis, if you look at all the increases this year and look at after the sale, ... fares are 8 percent higher than a year ago. So for all the hoopla and concern, the airlines are making more money than a year ago.

She was right there. That's something we always talk about: When somebody's serving well, sometimes the ball's going to come right over on the first contact and we've got to be ready. That time we were. Earlier in the match we had a couple of those that trickled over the net and we didn't play them.

She was very efficient at the net for us. We expect good things from her this year.

She's the net result of what people were thinking about when Title IX started, giving women the opportunity to compete equally.

So I'm not sure I believe the big gains, and there's no way we'll create 27,000 net new jobs every month. It is a great start to the year, but the pace of improvement likely won't be sustained.

She's a very aggressive player. She likes to come to the net and that puts a lot of pressure on her opponents.

The primary driver behind the miss looks to be net interest margin compression, which we have seen from other banks that have reported this quarter. But it seems more pronounced with Sovereign.

When there's an opening, a child's head can get caught in it and the net can get twisted around the child's head,

I was just chasing the puck and I'm not sure if (Aubin) just fanned on it when he tried to pass it around. I just yelled to Darby when I saw the wide-open net and he passed it out in front. You know you don't get those very often.

Kids can figure out ways so that their parents don't find anything on their machine, but Net Threat Analyzer goes back in after the fact where things are easier to detect,

There are still people who want us to produce something, ... Sustainable timber harvesting, environmentally compliant mineral extraction. Mining is a net gainer in the tax situation.

This was our best year ever for the generation of net income.

Given our view that Longview could put up a fight, and our assessment of valuation as an operating entity (and our net asset value estimate), we would act on the opportunity to sell near the $26 bid.

Given that we import more than 50 percent of our oil consumption from abroad, it is clear that as these prices rise, we are essentially transferring net wealth from U.S. consumers to oil producers that are mostly located overseas.

Given the declining trend in net foreign purchases of the past five months, we doubt whether these would be sufficient in covering the $55.8 billion trade deficit, ... In that case, markets should expect intensifying damage for the dollar.

Given the fact that Maine has raised its minimum wage each year for the last five years, that our minimum wage is currently $1.35 above the federal minimum wage and that Maine experienced a net loss of 600 jobs in 2005, one would wonder how it could possibly be true that raising the minimum wage again is going to improve our economy.

If only the net was just a little wider. We should have won that game. Our kids fought hard, and we overcame a short bench to put a scare into them.

Fundamentally, the increase in exports and export sales has been a supportive factor. Ideas that ethanol-driven demand for corn will continue to increase at a brisk pace and that U.S. corn acreage may decline modestly in 2006 also provide fundamental support. Dry weather has driven wheat prices higher and has raised concerns about the 2006 growing season for corn and other crops. Speculative demand for corn and other crops has also escalated, as evidenced by the daily tally of the net position of the fund traders.

From what I hear, the net was off. That was the difference in the game, that controversial goal. We had opportunities to score, we hit the post, we won draws, but the puck just didn't go in for us late in the game.

Giants ownership has left at least $150 million of team net worth on the table.

From our angle, you couldn't tell if it was going to make it to the net or not. It looked like everything was moving in slow motion.

From our goaltending right on out, I thought we played well, I thought we played hard, I thought we created a lot of offence but you're still in the situation where you're not putting that puck in the net when you have those chances. The 20 minutes in the third period was very important in just finding a way.

I give my guys credit. They cranked it up. They kept good pressure on in the offensive zone, in the neutral zone and in the final seconds behind the net (when Haslett was threatening). That was huge.

I don't think I've gotten any faster. I think just my stride has gotten more powerful. Just going wide, being able to drive to the net and get by the D, using the strength in my legs to get there. Kind of like the type of skater that Erik Cole is. He's got great speed, but he's got such a powerful stride, it makes him tough to stop.

I don't think you can call that a move. It's going to the net and letting the puck go. I don't think he touches the puck the whole way. I think it psyches the goalie out a little bit not knowing what he's going to do and not doing anything. He beat me with it a few times. It must work.

I had practice yesterday, today, and I've got a game Thursday night, so I'm back into it. (Washington has) pretty much the same standard as all football teams. I hope to be with them for a while, I hope it works out. I hope to have a good year, to maintain a 36 net average or better like I did every year in Atlanta. I'd like to keep that up.

I believe the existence of the safety net will keep people on course with their investment strategy.

Cash is king. Without it, you don't pay bills. You don't acquire new companies. You can't do that with net earnings.

But we talked after the first period and we went out and did everything we wanted. Guys went to the net and were rewarded with goals.

Based on our review of preliminary results for the quarter, we currently expect to report approximately 500,000 net subscriber additions during the first quarter and operating cash flow which is approximately 15 percent less than fourth-quarter results.

Based on the drilling results from the E-1, we expect that together the E-1 and E-2 wells will prove up 200 to 400 net billion cubic feet of gas on Block 4(a). We intend to commence development work by mid-2006 and are targeting mid-2009 for on-line production.

Based on the prices we've looked at, we believe the drug plans are getting better net prices than those paid under Medicaid.

I don't know what it was, maybe the net looked a little bit bigger for me. For whatever reason, sometimes you get one and you kind of keep rolling. I can't remember anything like this.

I feel we have flattened out. We have started several years knowing the net effect was going to be down, but the net effect this year has a chance to be up. A lot depends on how we play.

I felt I was in clear. I thought I had an empty net when he took me down.

Because of the strong global economy, there is a safety net surrounding the U.S. economy -- so if it begins to slow, it won't slow much because there is tremendous support.

Baxter really played well in net for Mt. Ararat tonight. He was always squared to the puck and didn't allow too many rebounds. He came up big for them.

Basically this merger will mean even less competition for broadband Internet, and frankly that makes a Net neutrality requirement even more imperative. If there was real competition in the provision of high-speed Internet access we might not be having this conversation, but now the world has gotten even smaller than it was before.

I had it on my forehand and I went to my backhand and half the net was empty. I had him beat. He slid over and somehow he moved a leg and it went out. I couldn't believe it.

We've got total labor compensation growing at 6 percent. . . . We've got record-setting highs in terms of household net worth, and it's still a record high if you exclude housing.

What I like about this team is that they never give up. We are not big at the net and we need another hitter to step up, but if we stay tough and remain focused, then we'll be competitive.

What you are seeing is deeper penetration into large, existing accounts and certainly the continued growth into net new markets like small to medium-sized businesses.

We're playing with a lot of confidence right now. We won a lot of battles in front of the net and on the boards and I think that's why we won.

We're pleased our trend of year-over-year increases in sales and net income continues. We added more than seven billion dollars in sales in the quarter and ended the year strong.

I love being on the power play. I love standing in front of the net causing havoc in front of their goalie. That's one of my favorite parts of the game for sure.

He spat in my direction; he apologized at the net after the match, and I accepted his apology. I don't think it's the right thing, and it's not good for the game. It's unfortunate because we were having a good dogfight match out there. We were going for it. It's sad that something like that happens. But I said, 'Just forget about it, mate'.

We maybe had three inside shots in the third period. We had kind of wild turnaround shots. We didn't have any presence with shots at the net. We were one shot at the net and gone.

We made two huge mistakes tonight, a bad line change on their first goal and a guy wide open in front of the net with five minutes to go. Joe made two huge saves (on the game-winner); we had a chance to clear it but with no sense of urgency, and they bang it in.

He covers a lot of net, but he's a lot quicker than I remember him to be. You can always tell when you have an established goalie. His angles are good and there's very little net to shoot at.

I always play well in this rink, even if I'm in a slump. I have a lot of confidence in this barn. I saw a lot of the net tonight. Once that first one went in, you think you can score every time and it seems easy.

If the dollar continues to weaken at a controlled pace, it's a net positive for the U.S. economy.

Had it my whole life. You have to expect it. I haven't really ever done much to be honest with you. Playing in net on a good team.

He went hard to the net and that's what you have to do to score. It's nice to see a guy like that get a goal when he has a chance to play on the top line.

He had to do that, because it was going in. I was right behind the net watching it, and Chuck would have had that one.

Hockey is the ultimate team sport. You have to have all of the pieces working together. My example is I always use is Wayne Gretzky. He would often be in front of the net and get the puck from two guys who were getting the heck pounded out of them in the corner. They were making a lot less than him. They get bloody. Gretzky puts the puck in the net and he gets the glory.

Hitters have confidence and know the ball is going to be at a certain spot all the time. With an inexperienced setter, the ball is going to be three feet off the net or two feet. Juan is very consistent with his sets so our hitters know where to be and know what to expect from Juan.

Historically, every year that companies were net buyers of shares, as far back as we have data, the market has gone up. This year the market has gone up much less than it should have.

He's been scoring goals. He's been setting up goals. He's going to the net hard. He's back-checking and playing well in his own zone. He's done everything we've asked him.

He's been shying away from taking pucks, going wide and taking to the net and he did that a few times tonight. For some reason he spent most of the first couple months not being involved and being on the outside. To his credit, he got the job done tonight.

He's a skilled player who has been able to put the puck in the net on a regular basis. Jesse also took more of a leadership role this season and is a very solid player.

He said he's a great talent and the hardest 180 pounds you'll ever play against and he certainly is. He throws his weight around a bit and is really solid driving to the net with a lot of speed and talent,

He's been doing a good job in net and making saves.

I find it difficult to believe, for example, that the crises that arose in Thailand and Korea would have been nearly so virulent had their central banks published data prior to the crises on net reserves instead of the not very informative gross reserve positions only,

What matters for our well-being is the net output -- remember, depreciation charges are not available for consumption -- per person in the overall economy, not the gross output per hour worked in the non-farm business sector alone,

We expect to report an operating margin between 2 percent and 4 percent, and that should bring us to a net loss for the full year. And for full-year, we are using an assumed fuel price of $1.92 (for a gallon of jet fuel). So, basically, $1.92 in the first quarter and an average of about $2 for each of the remaining three quarters.

Having Drew in net is huge. He is definitely our most valuable player. With him back there, we know if we make a mistake, he will make the save. With Drew, we're really ready to make some noise.

He gets to the net and uses his speed. When you have speed on the penalty kill, it's a pretty good thing. It's useful for us. On your fourth line, you want energy and guys to be momentum shifters. When you have speed like Brownie has, it enables you to change the tempo.

He dove into the net for it. It was pretty cool. We've just seemed to connect since he's gotten here. It was nice for him to get an assist on it, too.

There is much risk on the upside than the downside due to net long positions. There's more on the go for platinum.

We talked about the wind before the game. We told the girls that it would push balls across the net and we had to be ready for that from the far side. Kelsey did a great job in the net dealing with the wind.

Henderson Investment's net asset value should be worth more than HK$20 and its units, Miramar Hotel and Hong Kong Ferry, still have room to develop.

He not only got an acting fee and participation in the gross, but he got a big hunk of the licensing and merchandising, which will net him, according to Variety, about $100 million.

He (Malhotra) put the puck on the net and we had traffic in front of the net. It was one of the few times that we had bodies in front of the net tonight. The guys worked hard for it.
