We've probably gotten 40 percent of all of the road money in Eastern Kentucky since the 1970s, which is significant, but it isn't everything. There are a lot of governors and other politicians who wouldn't give Eastern Kentucky the time of day if it weren't for their wanting dad's support.

Jon Rubin

Offers accepted, or initiated sales (for single-family homes) were way down also, at only 811 (for January 2006). Only January 2001 had fewer, at 761. So 811 is significant and it means February closings will be way down.

The price difference is not as significant as it was in the past.

Duke Ah Moo

This is a special man and a special aircraft attempting to achieve another significant aviation milestone.

Joe Sunderman

I remember people who were trying to make it run. Water isn't a good environment to run mechanical things in, so there are significant challenges. And this one runs in water.

Jerry Aldrich

However, our analysis clearly shows that many states are largely ignoring and failing to capture this lowest cost energy resource that also yields significant environmental and economic benefits.

Dan York

We got a series of snowstorms that produced significant snow. We ended the season with above-normal precipitation.

Jim Pringle

If there's anyone in my lifetime who deserves honor it is Billy Graham. I think he is the most significant figure since the apostles.

Pat Boone

It (the occupancy rate decline) was unusual. It was across the board. We had a 0.2 percent decrease a couple of quarters ago, but (statistically) that was zero. This (the 0.5 percent decline), I think, is statistically significant.

We continue to face significant challenges.

Larry Kellner

We have started implementing the recommendations. It is still early days but this could have a significant financial implication on those persons now occupying the lands.

Marc Roy

We believe this is a fair and responsible contract that recognizes the contributions of our CAW work force, while enhancing DaimlerChrysler Canada's overall competitiveness. Our Canadian-built vehicles are clearly industry benchmarks, and with this agreement, our Canadian operations will make significant progress in terms of competitiveness.

Mark Gendregske

It's very important, this agreement that we have reached with Singapore, because it's such a significant air route between Australia and Singapore, one of the busiest that we have.

Chris Ellison

The world is full of tradeoffs, and sometimes 'renewable power' activists fail to recognize that. Solar energy collectors must displace a tremendous amount of natural landscape to produce any significant amount of energy. And anything less requires a great deal of financial expenditures for very little and very inconsistent power.

Ben Lieberman

To me, what happened is very significant. A judge heard our side and said there's reason to hear our case. We've maintained that what they want to do is above and beyond, and we do have a right to question it.

Bev Saunders

If the renminbi continues to appreciate, that could have a significant impact on us. That's something we really don't want to see.

Alan Wong

Hadi Jawad

We are pleased to fund research in this area as fundamental climate conditions have a significant impact on Saskatchewan crops, ... In light of the recent weather conditions, the loss at the farm gate and cost to taxpayers is validation of how critical this research is to our community.

Ralph Goodale

This regional jet flying issue is so crucial to our careers that any negotiated agreement that would lose any of that flying would be a significant setback for our pilots.

Wade Blaufuss

John Threadgill

This is one of the most significant drug busts in the history of northeast Ohio.

Richard Denholm

There are issues of water, land, fisheries, and they are all of concern right now. Long-term, the damage to these areas is going to have significant socio-economic impact on the local livelihoods and the local fishermen in particular.

Susie Ellis

Jimmy Baker

United already has a significant network in the New York metropolitan area, and this would add to that.

Joseph Kelliher

That could only be the case if we were producing a significant quality of jobs.

Hank Fishkind

The demand is not declining, either nationally or internationally. People are driving as much as they used to. The economy is doing pretty well, which is increasing demand. I don't expect significant price declines. (And) I don't know that it won't rise more.

Emotion regulation is extremely significant for a whole constellation of problems people encounter.

Richard Davidson

You are an extremely valuable, worthwhile, significant person even though your present circumstances may have you feeling otherwise.

Russell Horner

This will give new solar businesses confidence and investors enough confidence to fund those solar businesses. Our state is already doing over $100 million dollars a year in [solar] business. A significant part of that is exported.

Ben Luce

Our sheet metal in Decatur, we've never reached what we believe to be the full capacity there, in excess of three million tons. That will take some additional capital expenditures, but not significant ones.

Dan Dimicco

We are big enough at this stage to grow our business strongly. I am not ruling out what you may describe as bolt-on acquisitions -- what I am ruling out is a significant merger or anything like that.

Tom Mckillop

Obviously, the savings vary depending on the home's location, as well as its construction type, its orientation to the sun, surrounding shade features and so forth. But the DOE tests confirmed a measurable and significant difference in the energy required to cool the home in all instances.

Traci Weaver

With less than half the population, to have 80 percent of the votes cast in 2002 _ clearly that's a significant number.

Greg Rigamer

Marc Magliari

We're planning to have to take care of a significant number of people for three to five years, until somebody can give us some better information.

Toni Duboise

ITC going public is fairly significant and I think it could be a harbinger of things to come in the industry.

Robert Nelson

Shlomo Avineri

Who will understand their key role in protecting our civil rights, who will recognize the significant impact of their decisions on our everyday lives.

Roderick Jackson

Lewis Mandell

There's been very significant growing pains.

Annette Nazareth

This project will change the face of Chassell and be the most significant improvement in years.

Paul Donato

Karen Miller

The increase in deposit insurance coverage on certain retirement accounts is a significant change.

Martin Gruenberg

For many of our friends who are gay, this is not a significant event in their lives. It doesn't mean that I can now claim Marilyn as a dependent. It doesn't mean that I can leave her my money without consequence. It doesn't give me the same rights as the average American.

Joan Smith

To my mind, it does look significant, and women need to know that, ... That needs to be clearly part of the information that woman and health providers have in making these important decisions.

Richard Klausner
