This project has unfolded just as we hoped it would. The traditional economic impacts have been substantial - including things such as investment and employment numbers.

Don Kirkman

The Peruvian economy, in macroeconomic terms, has performed very well in past years. It's been one of the top performers in Latin America with a very dynamic agricultural and mining, and now energy sector -- very oriented toward export-led growth and has attracted substantial foreign investment. So that's all been very positive.

Peter Deshazo

Returned products are costly to retailers. When customers return the products listed above, those items typically must be inspected or serviced, and then must be re-sold at a substantial discount.

Amanda Tate

It has too much power to disappear overnight. It will still keep the governorship of 19 states and a substantial presence in Congress.

Sergio Sarmiento

We absolutely have to give the Debt Management Office the power to deal with the huge change in demand. There will be a substantial change in policy.

Andrew C. Roberts

It's a substantial sentence.

Orin Snyder

There was nothing in the deal with justice that would change Microsoft business practices in any substantial way, ... A vital part of our economy, high technology, is dominated by one company.

Tom Reilly

Any time you see a substantial deviation in returns with a fund compared to its category, it's usually because it's taken a substantial risk to get there. These funds aren't less risky now. It's just that the stocks they've invested in have finally started to come back.

Christopher Traulsen

Every year we revise all of our publications, and the principle publication is the Handbook being sent to students. It's a substantial task and this year it's going to be even more substantial.

Kent Peterman

The business is in the hands of the record companies. But they won't do anything. They refuse to take any substantial chances.

Russ Solomon

It wasn't substantial abuse -- it was just abuse.

Ron Peterson

Creating a 'bias' on the screen in front of the computer user gives Microsoft substantial power to direct users to particular products, services and Web sites.

William Harris

It's not a substantial increase.

Gregory Klump

Something's got to be replenishing these metals, ... The suggestion is maybe this white dwarf had planets around it, and the system was substantial enough that after billions of years of grinding, there's still enough material to feed the dust disc around the white dwarf.

Ben Zuckerman

We are working past the deadline and through the night to reach new agreements with the USWA. We are encouraged by the substantial progress in negotiations but there are some remaining issues and the parties are continuing to work diligently to resolve these as soon as possible.

Christine Karbowiak

Mack has quietly embarked on a restructuring program that should improve profitability and create substantial value for shareholders over the next two years. One wild card catalyst is a potential purchase or merger of equals.

Michael Chren

It is obviously a substantial fine.

Lawrence Lorber

We held a competitive bidding process and awarded the bids based on the lowest price for our customers. We fully understand that these increases are substantial and that all of our Maryland customers will feel their impact.

Gary Stockbridge

CitySearch is committed to meeting the information and transaction needs of online consumers within our local communities, ... The ability for CitySearch users to participate in auctions both regionally and locally provides a substantial new opportunity for the company.

Charles Conn

My clients are fighting for their lives in the port of Miami, and the losses they will suffer are very substantial indeed.

Paul Downes

Current licensing practices already impose substantial costs and administrative burdens upon these [digital media] companies, and it would be untenable and unfair to require them to shoulder additional costs with respect to these buffer copies.

Alex Alben

It would be great for Ileana, but what's more, it would be a substantial win for South Florida.

Jorge Arrizurieta

There was a substantial amount of profit taking, but the market absorbed it.

Marcelo Porto

The past year has been one of outrageous growth for the Internet, and it's not only become bigger, but better... more substantial and more mature.

Tiffany Shlain

There's no question that there was an enormous exaggeration of the benefits of the new fee agreement that hid substantial rate increases at a time when the [long-distance] companies themselves are getting significant cost savings.

Gene Kimmelman

I was not prepared to deal with this in the traditional way by simply making a substantial payment to BMW.

Stephen Byers

When it's multiplied by the number of children you have, it is a substantial raise. I think that people who were not interested before, from a provider standpoint, may rethink it now.

Barbara Saunders

I think that conventional political wisdom was that there were high expectations with Mayor Schmoke going in. His tenure as mayor on a whole was disappointing, particularly with the continued deterioration of public schools and a substantial increase in crime.

Herbert Smith

This company has made substantial progress in the last few years in controlling costs and improving production and customer service. Building upon the low cost structure, Revlon will focus on accelerated growth through a combination of great marketing and delivering on its commitment to stronger retail trade partnerships.

Jack Stahl

Our results, although not surprising, are worrisome. If the trend continues, our country will continue to face substantial health problems related to excess weight.

Ramachandran Vasan

We have a very substantial and loyal limited partner group.

Mark Perry

What we wanted to see is, by feeding these higher levels of distillers grains, are we having a substantial effect on the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus coming out in the manure.

Cody Wright

I thought Kevin played well, particularly since it was his first substantial action of the year. He is working hard on positioning and directing the defense as well as not coming out quite so far. But, he made a few plays that certainly would have been goals.

Cameron Rast

We estimate that the directories business will be able to generate a substantial amount of cash, even in a relatively high-leverage type structure.

David Janazzo

There is still substantial upside in AMD's stock.

Paul Leming

The threat to the act is more substantial and more real than it has been in along time.

Michael Bean

Nobody escapes from this. Everyone in the valley is exposed to some degree. But there are a lot of options to combat this, and the benefits of improving the air quality are substantial.

Jane Hall

If substantial relations with some non-allied countries reach a very strong level, this can make us feel that it is like normal relations with another country, even if the country is not an ally.

James Huang

There were no ticking time bombs in the inflation report. Although there was a substantial rise in energy prices, otherwise inflation remains very contained.

Stuart Schweitzer

The May contribution is going to be very substantial because of the in-house brands, displays, and ambience of the stores.

Kurt Barnard

We have different views on things, and the hope is that the folks that give $500 today as part of J-LEAD will be folks that will be giving substantial gifts that fund the renovation of the Jewish Community Center in the future. By getting them engaged at this age, they will become more interested and excited about doing that in the future.

Greg Wolf

They've located what they believe is part of a third engine, ... Hopefully, the fourth engine will be under what is still a substantial amount of wreckage under (USS) Grasp.

Robert Francis

If we have Saturday school, our loss will not be substantial.

Ray Rivas

We are getting more and more into supply-driven price increases which are going to be more constraining for growth going forward. We are at a point where further substantial increases will start mattering far more.

Raghuram Rajan

I fully recognize and appreciate the many substantial contributions of black Americans and other minorities to the creation and preservation and development of our great nation.

Strom Thurmond

Our research shows substantial evidence that regulation led to lower interest rates.

Keith Ernst

We could argue possibly that we've seen a little bit of stability since we've had the interest rate cut out of the way. Certainly the market is not as convinced over the need for further substantial monetary tightening in the UK.

Derek Halpenny

They speak English, they drive a hard bargain, they know what they're doing. So anyone who thinks this is going to be a dumping ground for our products is mistaken. The learning curve can be pretty substantial.

Bill Schroeder

We believe that the poorest nations of the world continue to look to Ireland to set the global standard for commitment to development aid, ... We also believe that there is a substantial support among the Irish people for a compelling and world-leading target, which will express their commitment to a more just and compassionate world.

Sean Brady

All three lakes are shallow, even in good years. So raising the level even two or three feet makes a substantial difference. This project would also increase the lake levels earlier in the year, which would be better for recreational interests.

Marc Spratt

We aren't talking about anything substantial, a nominal co-pay, maybe a couple of dollars, ... It would be enough of an amount to make them think whether every trip is truly necessary.

Steve Morris

A very exciting feature of this research is that it brings together nurses, physicians, and scientists to improve the health of premature babies. This is the kind of true collaborative research that could have a substantial impact on how these infants are cared for throughout the country.

Dan Cooper

I have been doing this for 50 years, and I have not found the substantial abuse that the lobbyists for this law seem to have found. The requirements sometimes just appear to be spiteful. They don't have any real basis that I can see.

William Lawson

The vast majority of shoppers refuse to let security fears stop them, and it appears that many are taking proactive steps to protect themselves and their computers. Yet, a substantial number of shoppers are still wary about e-commerce safety.

Diane Smiroldo

The strongest effect is for colorectal cancer. There's also a substantial effect for breast and ovarian cancer.

Cedric F. Garland

We think the company is facing a challenging environment in which both of its major competitors -- Kroger and Safeway -- have made substantial improvements in price and quality. Albertson's must proceed with asset sales and use the proceeds to improve its store base and/or balance sheet.

Robert Campagnino

There has been a lot of testing done on the racking strength provided by different types of spray foams, ... And the strength provided by closed-cell foams can be substantial.

Tom Kenny

I don't see anything next quarter that will result in massive upgrades, ... Coming out with new colors is not going to drive a substantial number of upgrades. Going from blueberry to ruby is not a good reason to replace your machine.

Kevin Knox

It's a lot of bang for not much buck. It doesn't bode well for more substantial deficit-reduction bills that are needed.

Robert Bixby

The Spanish executives that will be participating are important figures in the real estate industry in their own country. With the forum, we are showcasing what Miami-Dade has to offer as an international business hub to this select group of foreign investors who are capable of making a substantial new-to-market investment in our area.

Frank R. Nero

It doesn't take much to cause big effects. If you already have compromised coronary circulation and go into a smoky environment, there is a substantial increase in your risk of an acute event.

Stanton Glantz

This tacky trade would arguably be less damaging to the public good were it not for the fact that a peerage comes with substantial political influence.

The Independent

We fully understand that these increases are substantial and that all of our Virginia customers will feel their impact.

Gary Stockbridge

Their economic impact is substantial. I think that's reflected by the fact that other states are actively attempting to attract them.

Stan Smith

Fujimori has repeatedly claimed that there is no evidence against him and that these charges are nothing more than political persecution. But in the cases we examined, substantial testimony and documentation point to his direct criminal responsibility for serious human rights abuses and institutionalized corruption.

Jose Miguel Vivanco

If a substantial number of growers don't get paid, I would imagine someone would file a lawsuit.

Jim Griffiths

At this point we don't know. We know that the Wal-Mart by our house had substantial damage and we live right around the corner from Wal-Mart.

Judy Jones

There's a pretty big ding in the passenger-side door. There's also substantial damage to the driver's side windshield. Other than that, the car looks pretty unscathed considering the drop that it took.

Michael Gallegos

A Category 5 will cause substantial damage if it hits a populated area. But as far as individual companies mitigating their catastrophic risk, they have come a long way since Andrew.

Andrew Colannino

With any legal action in the E.U. likely to take place over an extended period, we do not foresee a substantial disruption to Qualcomm's operations over the next 12 to 18 months.

Inder Singh

It could not have come at a worse time if there's substantial damage.

Bill Clark

I think he adds substantial credibility to the combination; it makes people very optimistic that he will build a significant and multibillion-dollar company over time.

Marianne Wolk

October 2005 is shaping up to be different from October 2001, when we saw a substantial rally effect in the aftermath of 9/11.

Raghavan Mayur

We are now investing in each of our businesses to achieve substantial earnings growth in the future and create further value for millions of our shareholders.

Mukesh Ambani

After you see the devastation, its pretty substantial. It is the right thing for our company to do, to help.

Janice Lantz

Experience tells us that creating new musicals for Broadway is not an easy thing to do, ... and it requires a serious focus and a substantial commitment of time and resources. We've created Elephant Eye to provide creative leadership and financial support throughout the entire process.

Stuart Oken

The people in the street - a few dozen on Thursday night - are a reminder of the fact that Milosevic still enjoys substantial support.

Alessio Vinci

The legacy of mistrust between blacks and whites is a substantial hurdle to overcome that should not be underestimated. Many members of both groups will be innately suspicious of attempts by an outsider to approach them, especially in the context of ministry.

Garland Hunt

If there somebody talking to Toby about the weather in New Mexico or anywhere else, if somebody heard Toby talking about a good friend living somewhere else, they should call us. In isolation it might seem insignificant, but in terms of a pattern, it could give us another substantial lead to pursue.

Bill Miskell

A lot of the technology stocks may be down lately, but people who have been holding good old blue chips like GE and Pfizer have substantial capital gains, and these can be very effective gifts.

Ben Pierce

Where we used to have a substantial presence, we are now really a satellite of others.

Frederick Breimyer

Unfortunately, it looks like Congress is going to squander another day without getting any substantial work done.

Jake Siewert

I am a substantial person, and so is my wife. We have done nothing illegal and we have done nothing but suffer. It was a tempest in a teapot.

Mark Hunt

We see a substantial risk of a financial crisis as an integral part of an Icelandic 2006-2007 recession. The funding squeeze of the banks will probably force them to reduce lending to domestic players, and force a sell off of external assets.

Lars Christensen

I believe there is substantial evidence to charge. We will discuss that with Anoka County authorities in the near future.

James Braun

It is now clear that radiotherapy saves lives in women who have had breast-conserving surgery and in women whose cancer has substantial spread to the armpit, even if they have already had a mastectomy. This should encourage women who are offered radiotherapy to go ahead and have the treatment. It may also encourage doctors to consider more women for radiotherapy than they have done in the past.

Sarah Darby

We have the ability of offering substantial sums for an individual who is this dangerous.

Stanley Borgia

It is not a substantial money-maker for the museum.

Lisa Baker

Under the circumstances, the government should agree to substantial damages.

Karpal Singh

The wider educational, social and political benefits add justification to the substantial expenditure that full UK participation in an international program of human space exploration will require.

Dr John Dudeney

The bottom line ... is that weak or nonexistent controls leave the government vulnerable to substantial fraud and abuse.

Gregory Kutz

We welcome Richard to the Activision Board. His substantial experience in the mobile and wireless arena coupled with his strong corporate development background and distinguished career will be an asset to our Board and management team as we continue to pursue our strategic objectives.

Robert Kotick

In a hearing, your chance of getting a reduction on your assessment is substantial.

Gary Taylor

This is a major advance for amateur golf. It gives amateurs who do not have access to substantial family resources the opportunity to receive help from friends and supporters so they can compete against their peers.

Fred Ridley

Friendship's the privilege of private men; for wretched greatness knows no blessing so substantial.

Nahum Tate

We've seen a very positive public policy effect. When you allow parents to exercise their right to protect their girls from abortion, we believe the benefit is substantial.

Joe Pojman

Although Mr. Moore generated substantial revenues from sales of these postage stamp products, Mr. Moore simply refused to pay all of the royalties due the University.

Robert Witt

No amount of money can ever compensate a woman for being raped but I think they're very happy the city has taken the substantial step to try and address the financial and emotional problems they've had as a result of what has happened.

Sean Gallagher

The Harris government pulled off a clever trick — retaining all power while creating the illusion of relinquishing a substantial amount of it.

Mike Harris

In the position of president it has been impossible to take any substantial vacation, ... And I'm tired.

Katherine Henderson

Those dogs are in demand, so they end up being on call quite often. They end up working a substantial amount of overtime... It's hard to depend on them staffing a beat.

Sheriff Gary Steed

That's a significant impact on the economy. Those numbers are substantial and take on substantially greater significance when looked at from the county or municipal level.

Jim Kirkley

I think that there was a substantial shadow government trying to run foreign affairs for the United States.

Jack Brooks

Can we become a substantial player in the market by capturing 1 percent (of UPS customers)? Yes we can. But we think we can grow past that. We expect to be material to UPS.

Bob Bernabucci

A substantial part of the controversy occurred because there was such secrecy in what was going on over there. This is a public charity. It gets a whopping tax exemption because of that status.

Hugh Jones

The penalty process is just one piece of the process by which we keep families safe, ... The idea is not just to penalize, but to publicize those penalties to serve as a deterrent to those companies that might not meet safety standards or constitute substantial product hazards.

Hal Stratton

This is an extraordinary abuse of the legislative process: major amendments to an important law affecting substantial rights, slipped into a bill in the middle of the night, without any debate... apparently all for the benefit of a single special interest.

Peter Langerman

They were getting only minimal relief, ... And I was concerned about property tax relief. I took a look at the average home owner in District 4, and the proposed plan only offered $18 a month or less in tax relief. That was not substantial enough.

Tommy Williams

This is a decisive move that accelerates our strategy and positions us to win by offering even greater value to our customers and partners. In addition to the clear strategic benefits of combining two highly complementary organizations and product families, we can create substantial shareowner value through significant cost-structure improvements and access to new growth opportunities.

Carly Fiorina

They've been burned before. If oil companies had confidence in $40 oil, we would see a substantial increase in development and production.

Dobie Langenkamp

Experience in other countries shows ... that governments can undertake efforts that can yield substantial reduction in enterprise fairly quickly.

Robert Holleyman

Substantial is a big word. It's not just being trimmed.

Richard Tofel

Tropical-force winds are still quite capable of substantial damage. As the winds come down, the rain will take over as a primary threat.

Jamie Rhome

Contrary to allegations in the lawsuit, Axl has never denied that others made substantial contributions towards the success of Guns N' Roses, but there is little doubt as to who was the creative catalyst behind the group's success.

Axl Rose

Acting made up a substantial part of Nancy's life.

James Benze

Why Iraq, when so much evidence points to substantial Saudi involvement with people financing, and the apparent cooperation of elements of the Saudi government, as shown by the refusal to grant U.S. investigators access to known conspirators held there?

Miles O'brien

American Idol Rewind combines all of the characteristics of elite off-network weekend successes, including being a smash hit in primetime, having dual male and female appeal, and enjoying substantial momentum going into syndication.

Dick Askin

If there is truly a substantial septic failure problem, I believe the public will be supportive of us taking drastic measures. We don't want to pollute the community and our lakes.

Tommy Bailey

If I can procure three hundred good substantial names of persons, or bodies, or institutions, I cannot fail to do well for my family, although I must abandon my life to its success, and undergo many sad perplexities and perhaps never see again my own beloved America.

John James Audubon

Now coordination is much more substantial. Everyone knows what's going on.

Chris Neudeck

We saw last year just how much oil shot up after Ivan. Crude markets remain delicately balanced and if Katrina causes substantial damage to production facilities, oil prices will exceed $70 and could push toward $80 a barrel.

Gerard Burg

The money was not inconsequential before, and has become quite substantial. They're looking at non-college-bound high school graduates. Getting this kind of money is significant. They get a job, a steady paycheck and enough for a down payment on a brand new car.

Dan Goure

Such an agreement and strategic dialogue mechanism will solidify the Sino-EU comprehensive strategic partnership and lead to substantial projects and results.

Shen Jiru

The product, via substantial abstraction, allows for less skilled developers to rapidly generate relatively sophisticated Web applications. The catch is that more experienced developers may find some of the abstraction unnecessary and/or undesirable.

Stephen O'grady

No matter how the geopolitical crisis deteriorates, we are not going to see supply disruption that will last for a substantial period of time. China still supplies 60 percent of its oil needs.

Chen Wei

Delphi cannot continue indefinitely to operate our facilities in the U.S., which lose a substantial amount of money, without being able to adjust our cost structure.

Steve Miller

All those kinds of increased costs are usually on the table. If they're substantial enough and create a burden for the school districts, it will be considered.

George Cunningham

Lenders don't like people taking out unsecured loans for their deposit. A substantial loan brings down the amount of mortgage you can afford to borrow, and if you try to get an unsecured loan without telling the mortgage lender, you are deliberately misleading your lender.

Peter Donovan

If they can't get them off of these buildings in the next day or so, I would say a substantial number of them will die by the weekend.

David Ross

I think gold is still a long-term bear investment and any of these technical corrections are temporary in nature. There's no substantial reason to own gold anymore.

Robert Stein

Well, they said there has been in the past a substantial number. Some of the other criteria that the committee was required to look at did in fact look at that criteria of whether the species was likely to reduce substantially in the future and they found that there wasn't evidence to support that.

Brian Mcdonald

We also will target entrepreneurs and sales professionals who want to start a new business. The package that we are offering will allow virtually anyone to get started in this business in a matter of days and begin generating substantial revenues.

Bob Cefail

Fires occurring in the home and in various health care settings for older adults are often preventable. Because the older adult population accounts for a substantial portion of the nation's fire deaths and injuries, it's important that we take steps to reduce this fire problem.

Charlie Dickinson

Our findings suggest that substantial reassessment is needed of the importance of obesity for cardiovascular disease in most regions of the world.

Salim Yusuf

This isn't any less of a problem than we thought it was in the mid-1990s, but the amount of work that's been done has been substantial.

Matt Hotle

Previous exhibitors will be present again, whilst we have also witnessed substantial interest from manufacturers around the world for whom this will be their first visit to SOFEX.

Amer Tabbah

Raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Arthur Andersen

Government should not ignore the criminal aspects of what the tobacco companies were doing. In fact, a good argument can be made that, over time, tobacco company executives consciously disregarded the substantial and unjustifiable risk that people might be killed.

Ira Robbins

Our experience from Iraq, for example, showed substantial intelligence shortcomings. You'd have to assume we too suffer from enormous intelligence shortcoming vis a vis Iran. That would be a problem.

Richard Russell

We have a substantial completion date of October of 2006 for the project, and I think if we have a good summer, we should be able to meet that.

Robert Cutter

Internet gambling has become a substantial phenomenon in the gaming industry space.

Anthony Cabot

I'm modeling it as if Windows 95 were selling at the rate it was already selling at. [Windows 98] staves off a potential drop-off in sales. But nobody expects any spike in earnings or any substantial drop-off.

Tom Hensel

We hear from seniors, pharmacists, everyone in the program about some major headaches involved. There are a substantial number of people who expressed dissatisfaction with the program.

Kevin Bishop

We feel that a $1 billion capital margin is appropriate to maintain for the company. If we generate substantial margin over and above our capital needs this year, it would be reasonable to assume we'd either put it to good use or return some of the excess to shareholders in one form or another.

Joshua King

Society will have to deal with some very substantial issues.

Jonathan Murray

There were bits and pieces, but nothing substantial.

Steve Waugh

To stay at the top of this highly competitive group speaks well of his prowess as a manager. He can add incremental risk and squeeze out substantial returns.

Jeff Tjornehoj

We believe this transaction increases shareholder value by capturing strong value for the ongoing business enterprise, monetizing valuable real estate assets, and affording shareowners the opportunity to benefit from a substantial continuing ownership interest in a powerful, growing and vibrant new company.

Larry Johnston

People sometimes think of a tax refund as forced savings, yet, in reality, the taxpayer has provided a loan to the government without earning any interest. If a refund is substantial, check with the human resources department at work to adjust withholding to better match your tax liability.

Carol Young

India continues to face severe power shortages that translate into substantial losses to the economy. It stifles development of industry and commerce, increases the cost of doing business, and reduces productivity.

Michael Carter

The revenue would be substantial over a couple of months.

Gary Price

We have the best chance now that we have ever had to make some substantial changes and improvements in the delta.

Lester Snow

While this investment is substantial, it represents an important step toward ensuring our long-term competitiveness.

Bill Ayer

U.S. Steel was a continual drag on the economy for the next 50 years and caused substantial harm.

William Comanor

Individuals may feel there is little they can do to influence the course of our country, but when we unite with believers from across the nation, the impact of our collective prayers can be substantial.

John Lind

This seems to be a substantial development in the war, when one of the most highly paid and trusted advisers may have deliberately misled our nation for months and years and some of our officials may have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

Jim Cooper

That's going to be a substantial change from old La Fox. You won't have stars.

James Cooke

It's very clear that CEOs today are looking at new kinds of innovation to drive substantial organizational change and business growth. It's not just product innovation any more. It's about understanding how to innovate a business model, or an operational process, or management behavior -- such as real-time risk management, collaborative pharmaceutical development, or digital film distribution.

Ginni Rometty

The combined companies will create substantial benefits for consumers, trade customers and shareholders through continued development of innovative products, improved quality and service, and cost efficiencies.

Jeff M. Fettig

It is disturbing that substantial numbers of children and families are sinking more deeply into poverty when we have the strongest economy in decades and when substantial amounts of funds provided to states to assist these families are going unused.

Wendell Primus

Boone has run the fund seven years, his long-term record is good and he has a substantial personal investment in it, indicating his confidence in the selection process. This is a good fund for a core investment holding--even viewed apart from its social considerations.

Greg Carlson

I think the biggest thing to scare Hong Kong was the devaluation of Taiwan. This is a country with substantial foreign exchange reserves. That's what sparked the fall in Hong Kong.

John Bender

The commission is of the view that this would provide yet another opportunity for the Syrian authorities to show greater and meaningful cooperation, and to provide any relevant substantial evidence on the assassination.

Detlev Mehlis

It's very strong interest, which is good. They are very substantial, and they certainly have credibility and they have a lot of knowledge about football franchises, clubs and so forth.

Matt Carroll

Yesterday there were rumors that (OPEC president) Ali Rodriguez was going to push for pretty substantial production increases from OPEC, but what we've heard is that these production increases will be less than what was speculated, ... Yesterday had crude prices down sharply but they're rebounding today. Inventories are still low and demand, globally, continues to rise.

Mike Ryan

The good thing is we repaired, for the most part, a substantial amount of issues that we were concerned with. I was concerned with us fumbling the ball, and I think we managed the ball well.

Bill Snyder

I am predicting steady and substantial growth each year. It's a niche product, but there are many niche applications out there. We're just scratching the surface.

Leo White

We were looking for things to do in the downtown area that would be inexpensive but have a substantial impact.

Dan Abrams

[Delta wants a payment schedule] that's manageable and affordable, ... We respectfully disagree with Rep. Boehner's statement. Delta would pay a substantial amount into its pension plan under the Senate bill.

Benet Wilson

I have seen similar incidents this year that haven't attracted such a substantial grading.

Ricky Stuart

I think this is another correction within an ongoing bull market, rather than something more substantial.

Charles Blood

We believe this merger is in the best interests of all those connected with Lone Star. Our shareholders will receive a substantial premium to the current market value of their stock, and our customers, suppliers and employees will benefit from the combined resources of the two companies.

David Wallace

If a substantial proportion of the 80 000 Taxi Recap vehicles due for delivery over the next five years is to be reported in the MCV segment, we could be in for even more spectacular growth in the overall over-3 500 kg GVM market.

Frans Cloete

This merger is a logical next step that creates substantial value for customers and stockholders of both AT&T and BellSouth. It will benefit customers through new services and expanded service capabilities.

Ed Whitacre

(Open-source firms) are engaging in substantial, active, prosperous business ? making money for their shareholders and helping investors.

Eben Moglen

The Arab Boycott Bureau has been an ineffectual economic weapon, it has clearly not damaged the Israeli economy, but it did have political impact. As Arab leaders consider lifting it they should ensure that the Palestinian economy draws substantial benefits. Such a move would have the added benefit of narrowing the economic gap between both communities, making negotiation more feasible.

Ziad J. Asali

As research and development (R&D) can push forward the booming economy, a sense of the overall situation and a pragmatic attitude can bring substantial results to the development of Sino-US relations.

Zheng Bijian

Participants in the two intervention groups made greater changes than those in the control group and saw the greatest benefit in blood pressure status. This shows that people at risk for heart disease can successfully and simultaneously make multiple changes in lifestyle, for a substantial benefit.

Eva Obarzanek

I don't know where the rally ends. There's nothing on the horizon that points to a substantial fall in prices. It takes time for a supply response to occur.

Eugene X. Hodge

I think they are making substantial changes, but the strategy is not risk free, ... One of the central problems with Sara Lee's valuation is this is a company where a number of their brands are relatively small in the scheme of things. Investors are concerned that small brands are more vulnerable over time.

Eric Katzman

This is a superior merger because it makes more sense strategically. Qwest is also a more substantial company -- larger in terms of size, employees, revenues and fixed assets.

Eric Strumingher

Don't expect Rome to be built in a day, it wasn't, ... Against the difficulty of this negotiation, it's complexity, this is a very substantial gain.

Emyr Jones Parry

We expect this significant acceleration in production output will further reduce our costs and provide substantial new captive capacity to meet the anticipated growth in demand from new markets such as mobile phones and MP3 players, and enable us to better address geographies where we believe we have attractive opportunities to expand our market presence.

Eli Harari

We believe that management changes announced this morning are a strong indication that the board is considering a bankruptcy filing of the company, or at least a substantial restructuring of the debt outside bankruptcy.

Elizabeth Parrella

Proposition 76 makes major changes to California's constitution, ... These changes would have substantial and far-reaching effects on the state budget.

Elizabeth Hill

I wouldn't like to speculate on how much money it would cost us, but I know it would be substantial.

Ehsan Mani

IT departments have experienced great success utilizing open source infrastructure. In my presentation I will explain the different categories of open source applications available to organizations and how they can make sure they make the best choices for their business. Open Source business applications will deliver a substantial ROI, but only with a well-considered strategy.

Fred Lee
