Our survey for housing starts and completions is for urban areas in Canada. Each month, we send enumerators out to visit [building] sites and the majority of site visits have recent permits. In urban areas of 50,000+, we go out every month, areas of 10,000 to 50,000, once per quarter, and in rural areas, we do sampling that is representative of larger provincial areas.

Brent Weimer

This survey helps keep it in front of the public. What we have to do is make sure they don't forget.

Suellen Reed

That's actually quite high. I do think people in small town Iowa love to talk about their town. On phone interviews, we could get through a survey in 20 minutes - [Yet] it [often] takes about an hour.

Kerry Agnitsch

Additionally, this year's survey shows a clear need for retailers to help consumers navigate through the torrent of options available to them. Too many retailers are losing out on commerce opportunities as consumers leave sites empty-handed simply because they can't find merchandise that interests them.

Steve Johnson

There once was a demographic survey done to determine if money was connected to happiness and Ireland was the only place where this did not turn out to be true.

Fiona Shaw

This is a very strong survey.

Richard Iley

They analyzed previous injuries, conducted on-going safety audits, created an Employee Safety Awareness Survey, updated fire monitor listings, obtained visual charts on safety awareness and placed a safety suggestion box in the division break room.

Melinda Hendrix

The 2005 FBI Computer Crime Survey should serve as a wake-up call to every company in America.

Frank Abagnale

The next J.D. Power ratings showed improvement, and the Canton plant targeted the issues brought to light in that survey and worked on those as well.

David A. Boyer

Some publishers have been concerned that consumers wouldn't support a move to recycled paper, especially if it caused a price increase. But this survey definitely indicates strong consumer support. It's big news for publishers, retailers and recycled paper providers.

Noelle Skodzinski

The second phase will begin by the end of January when experts will make an intensive survey through collecting prints of the paws.

Atanu Raha

There is no 'silver bullet' to prevent losses from downtime, security breaches or mis-use of IT by staff. Technology cannot guarantee network security. Despite a continual investment in security and protection services, this survey shows businesses are still experiencing significant financial losses.

Shaun Cooper

The survey findings are sobering, even if we adjust for the fact that public concerns may have been heightened following the London subway bombings. Even when possible attacks on trains or subways are excluded, more than 80 percent expected at least one more terrorist attack in their lifetime and 55 percent believe that at least one of each type of incident would occur.

Tom Stinson

We are doing the survey through the Internet, requesting participation from all members of the instructional faculty and teaching assistants.

Tom Guterbock

This (New York) survey suggests that the manufacturing slowdown is more gradual than had been expected, ... The more reliable Philadelphia Fed survey out Thursday will provide a better read.

Robert Mellman

Reaching our survey goal numbers will give the project the legs it needs for presenting to local governments and landing future grants.

Ryan Sims

The people of Michigan will play an important role in this survey.

Joe Johnson

The survey results show that professionals and the public have taken the importance of cholesterol-lowering to heart. Cholesterol education is working.

James Cleeman

The Committee of 100 commissioned a survey in which they found that Asian-American candidates are the most unpopular of all the races. They found that people were less likely to vote for Chinese-Americans than other minorities.

Iris Chang

Insurance CIO/ CTO Pressures, Priorities, Projects, and Plans for 2006: Survey Results. In general, 2006 looks to be much like 2005. Insurers are focusing on growth, updating key core systems, embracing more flexible and affordable architectures and resource strategies, and doing it all under tight supervision from the business side.

Matthew Josefowicz

Yucca Mountain was recommended by the U.S. Geological Survey because of the attributes the site possesses including a stable geology, a deep water table, no one lives there, it's a desert environment and ... it's remote.

Allen Benson

We own the vast majority of rights in the borough. But a survey has to be completed before anything can move forward.

Larry Loperfito

A one month bump here or there really doesn't mean that much, ... These are hard numbers, and it's somewhat encouraging compared to what we're seeing from survey data.

Tim Rogers

Based on our latest survey findings, IP convergence is a reality, and we see an accelerated pace of enterprise migration from legacy data services to converged IP networks.

Bryan Van Dussen

Some buildings also may not be there anymore. So we need to update the survey.

Bill Kelly

The results of this survey confirm that safety in the home has become a major issue for the British public. If you want to sell your home quickly, upgrading your security systems will be a major help.

Nick Clark

The latest figures show that many of the tendencies perceived in the March 2005 survey persisted through September, and also supports the latest Quarterly Employment Survey by Stats SA, which showed that 99,000 jobs were created in the formal sector between June 2005 and September 2005.

Lullu Krugel

If I was going to call a surveying service, I would call Civil Concepts. I don't see any reason for having an on-call surveying service.

Ralph Riggs

We just plan to survey some of our larger contributors and find out their suggestions on how we can make the process and the campaign more successful and we invite their feedback.

Steve Wiggs

We did a survey of our lodges this (past) summer and they indicated the fastest growing part of their business is couples.

Joel Prunty

So far (there has been) no pass through of high energy prices into core inflation. What sticks out most is that the New York state manufacturing survey was spot on with forecasts and not (as) disastrous as some had expected. That is consistent with the view that the economic impact of Katrina will likely be limited and temporary.

Omer Esiner

We've seen our gas prices go up more than 25 cents since the first of the year. This is the fastest increase ever in the 10 years we've done the survey during this time of year.

Charles Langley

We are going from looking at a few stars a night to an all-sky survey where over a year we will search the entire northern hemisphere.

Bruce Betts

It is important that those selected for the Survey of Income and Program Participation respond because the results of the survey will enable policy-makers to address a multitude of critical issues.

James Holmes

One study found that 80 percent of minors using e-mail regularly receive inappropriate e-mails. Another survey found that between 20 and 30 percent of visitors to pornographic websites are under the age of 18.

Matthew Prince

We aren't doing any more residential surveying. There's no more money for tree removal, so it doesn't make sense looking for it if we can't do anything about it.

Mark Fagan

It helps us to know our strengths and weaknesses. This is a major time of change and growth in our community. We've completed a lot of projects since the last survey, so now we want to know what the big issues are -- school safety, or too much emphasis on sports, or whatever it may be.

Anita Banach

The survey found that 78 percent of customers were willing to use mail or the Internet to renew. However, most did not realize that was possible. Clearly, we need to educate the public on alternative renewal methods, and devise better means of processing services.

Gerald Nicely

This is as big as the town can handle. They did a survey and we had to wait until they put in a couple more hotels before we could add the seventh division.

Tom Silvey

The majority of alcohol consumed in Canada, as self-reported in the survey ... the great majority is not consumed in a way that's consistent with health and safety guidelines.

Tim Stockwell

We were curious to know if people had access to this information, if it would matter to them, ... People have a pretty good idea of where to go to get data on cost and quality about just about everything, except healthcare. Our survey found an appetite that's far bigger then we expected.

Charles Baker

Nothing will be really seen for a while because it's all behind the scenes, surveying for property lines and valves.

John Groff

In prior years, saddled with heavy incentives and a sagging economy, industry executives pushed profitability out as far as they could. Our survey this year has definitely found improved profit levels emerging sooner rather than later, and this is very encouraging.

Brian Ambrose

I can remember going back a couple of years later and, you know, think about it and I was doing a, kind of a political survey, door to door, and everything and I couldn't find any men in the town. It was very strange, you know.

Richard Grimes

The response doesn't surprise me. It is a long survey and most people don't want to take the time to fill it out.

Gary Vest

The first thing we have done is commission a telephone survey, ... We talked to 608 adults in our five-county area, and, based on the results of the survey, we felt it necessary to conduct focus groups.

Margie Hale

The result of the survey has been encouraging.

Bill Gammell

It appears to be highly subjective. This survey is giving more weight to words over action.

Art Larson

Data is very helpful in writing grant proposals to get funding for subsequent surveys. We certainly hope that this basic survey will provide a channel for future surveys based on the findings of this survey.

Gregg Kaufman

The university authority often conduct survey in the Hall, but that is all. We are forced to live in the Hall risking our lives.

Mahbubur Rahman

The survey results combined with the drop in the unemployment rate indicate that the traditional labor supply is essentially exhausted.

Jeffrey Joerres

With the economy growing below potential, labor market indicators probably continued to ease. The survey should be relatively friendly for those expecting easier monetary policy later in the year.

Jason Wong

Homeland security continues to evolve to meet a host of natural and man-made challenges. This year's survey showed that states continue to progress, maintaining efforts from previous years while recognizing that new threats also must be addressed.

John Thomasian

The survey shows that the economy is getting stronger and there is a wide variety of jobs available for all levels of education and skill. That's good news for people who are looking for work or looking to move up.

Karen Lee

The results are no surprise. They are similar to the results of another survey the MDOT did in 1994. What we see in Wiscasset are seasonal surges of traffic congestion that basically make the road non-functional. That's why the bypass was conceived.

Brandon Jones

Surveying her post-White House options.

Michael Tomasky

Poor disclosure laws in nearly half the states, including Utah, make it difficult to get a true picture of all [telecom] industry spending. But this survey still provides a pretty good snapshot of what is taking place.

John Dunbar

He wouldn't have been pleased to see us surveying his working drawings. Michelangelo just wanted you to look at his finished work and be overwhelmed by it and not realize that it's the result of thousands of decisions.

Hugo Chapman

There's other housing numbers showing some declines in April as well. My own survey of builders has shown them losing some momentum for the last couple of months, including May. I think there's some evidence accumulating that this supposedly highly interest-sensitive part of the economy is starting to give ground.

David Seiders

When you take (the report) alongside all the other indicators, particularly the purchasing managers' survey, it confirms the economy is indeed in recovery.

Rick Egelton

The beautiful thing about this is that it's an unbiased survey. We invited people from all sides of issues to work together in committees to define concerns and decide together what facts went into it. And it is a work in progress. This is just the beginning.

Patricia Jones

This first major survey of the green roof industry shows the growth has not abated and I believe the industry is poised for even greater growth in 2006 and beyond.

Steve Skinner

An interesting finding about Oracle's results is that not only did it have a strong presence in our survey, but it had a strong presence across platforms, including at least one No. 1 position in a top ten list on each of the UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms. It's also important to mention Oracle's strong showing in both OLTP and data warehousing applications.

Robert Dorin

Most people in both markets had heard about 3G purely through word of mouth or personal research, which would tend to lead to the conclusion that there's a marketing issue behind the reactions we saw in the survey.

Alexander Mcnabb

What we've done is kind of taken from that survey and turned it into something we can do and that meets the school's student needs.

Adam Fritz

Bullish overview in the Economic Survey helped market sentiments. Investors are expecting that some of the reform measures outlined in the Survey may be implemented in the Union Budget.

Deepak Jasani

The payroll survey is the best measure of the absolute amount of employment and employment trends, and this is really quite a pessimistic report.

Lawrence Mishel

The data we have comes from a physician re-registration survey. So when physicians are renewing their licenses we can capture information about them.

Jean Moore

I study the science of sleep. We knew the number was high where people sleep on different beds for different schedules and horrible conflicting habits. ... A survey 10 years ago from the Better Sleep Council said almost 1 in 4 would sleep better if they were in different beds. Now 10 years later we see the stats.

Pete Bils

We conducted our first employee opinion survey two years ago. It included 75 questions as well as fill-in spaces for comments and the like. We got some really good, critical feedback.

Joe Gallagher

We've been trying to find a site. That's our biggest challenge. We did a survey a couple of years ago and the feedback we got was that this is definitely something the kids want. I continue to get phone calls asking what's happening with the skate park. There's definitely an interest.

Mark Berry

It's been pretty speedy since they did the survey.

Dee Price

After a lot of helpful conversation among faculty and students in the School of Health Sciences and with community people, we came to the conclusion that the first survey should be something basic and ask questions about access to healthcare, and we are specifically interested in adults ranging from 18-65 years old.

Gregg Kaufman

Unfortunately, the general level of service did not increase. Almost every vendor showed evidence of making a big effort after the 2003 survey, but results show some of them didn't gain much traction on customer service and training.

Bill Keith

We are seeing continued growth in precision civilian applications such surveying, precision agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, geodesy, as well as volcano and earthquake research. More specifically at the Department of Transportation where I work, we are expanding our applications across the entire U.S. transportation infrastructure.

Michael Shaw

It cannot be held tomorrow due to the Rail Budget, or on February 27 because of presentation of Economic Survey and the next day due to the General Budget. President Bush would arrive here on Tuesday.

Sitaram Yechury

No state that has its own survey has ever had problems like we've had.

Joe Mcbride

This is a county survey and, however you cut this up, the mayor convened the housing task force.

Mel Rapozo

If the government's survey on health insurance coverage is going to remain relevant, they must find a way to include questions about new types of health insurance and non-insurance products.

Peter Fisher

We generally survey the fire chiefs. If they want a burn ban, we issue it.

Dan Hall

This is consistent with our February 2002 worldwide IT spending survey results, which indicated that IT budgets remain highly uncertain and that IT capital spending growth in 2002 is likely to be modest.

Toni Sacconaghi

An endurance increase of this magnitude means soldiers can keep Hunter aloft much longer, allowing them to gather more intelligence and survey larger areas during a single flight. A flight time exceeding 21 hours, coupled with advanced avionics and sensors, makes the MQ-5B the most advanced unmanned aerial system in the Army's inventory today.

Jim Perry

[When they had tabulated the survey results, members of the Youth Coalition] thought it was important to say this out load to adults, ... and see what adults want to do about it.

Karen Christensen

This spring, the survey will go out to about 1500 people who work in various manufacturing industries as automation professionals.

Dale Lee

The combination of combining business trips with leisure so that business people can come and they can bring their families and if room rates are low and affordable then that what's makes Tampa-St. Pete a place to come and the reason it showed up on this survey.

Alexis Muellner

[What does this mean for print buyers? In Romano's survey of why buyers select one printer over another, buyers most often are purchasing time - they need to have their jobs delivered on schedule and will use the vendor who can do it. Today's print buyers are looking for] instant everything - quotes, contact, status reports, proofs, repeat jobs, preflighting, job submission, and hand holding, ...

Frank Romano

I don't need to go inside the hot zone to command, ... In fact, I'm better off farther back being able to survey the whole scene.

Sandy Anderson

The research that we have done by surveying current residents and potential residents shows a grocery store Downtown is the No. 1 priority.

Patty Burk

Surveying for the deepest insights into the mysterious evolution of Mars!

George Diller

We sent in the survey to let people know we are in business in Cape Coral and we want to build a better Cape Coral.

Buffy Parmentier

First, we'll try to find out why people come here, a survey-type deal.

Rod Proffitt

The dollar got some support from the Ministry of Finance's survey, as it ignited concerns about a possible downward revision.

Kazuhiro Nishina

There is no doubt that companies are more aware than ever before about the importance of business continuity assurance. But we think this survey also uncovers several areas where perceptions of the barriers for making it happen are a bit skewed and where even enlightened IT teams need to adopt better practices.

Bob Williamson

Our Spitzer data, combined with data obtained by other telescopes, will allow us to determine which of these objects are truly at the galactic center, and which are in spiral arms along the way. This survey will help us to better understand the mass distribution and structure of our own galaxy and how it compares to other galaxies.

Dr. Susan Stolovy

Each survey is just a snapshot in time, so I really don't know if the trend will be sustained and a real upswing in consumer confidence, or if it's a blip.

Melinda Jackson

A recent government survey found that 47 percent of all women report being the victims of either physical, emotional, sexual or economic violence. But 84 percent of those who are victims of domestic violence remain silent.

Patricia Espinosa

There are really no encouraging signs in this survey.

Olivier Gasnier

The company town and ethnic history with so many ethnic groups that lived at Sunrise were really a big influence on Hartville and Guernsey. We had to research the history of the mine and mining town and then do a very intensive survey of the site itself.

Mary Humstone

Big things can be changed, if you want all sit-down style restaurants, tell them in the survey. If you want all buffet style tell them. We might not get everything, but at least they can modify their bids.

Chad Miller

We have been very encouraged with the pace of business ... over the past six months and this survey confirms ... that business travel may finally bounce back to something akin to pre-9/11 days.

Jack O'neill

The SHIP Member Survey shows that 2006 is likely to be even better for consumers with greater flexibility, lower costs and continued product innovation. With home reversions coming under FSA regulation as well as lifetime mortgages helping to bolster confidence in the sector the future looks bright for equity release.

Jon King

We are carefully considering all of our options. We know from our survey after the last market that there's a strong desire to move the markets, especially our February show, and I want to assure everyone that we are listening to their concerns.

Bill Cleveland

The survey shows a gradual decrease in drug trends that began about four years ago. Drug trends, which have traditionally been higher than medical trends, are now almost the same. However, we anticipate drug trends to grow again in the next several years, due to the introduction of new innovative therapies into the marketplace.

Michael Jacobs

This survey provides strong indications that this is a problem that's solvable. The vast majority of young people who drop out can go on to graduate if provided help.

John Bridgeland

Katrina does put a wrinkle in the outlook. But the survey data indicate strong third and fourth quarters.

William Dunkelberg

We are evaluating the feasibility of allowing residents to return to their respective cities to survey damages and secure their property. Residents are asked to maintain their current living arrangements and are advised to leave once their property is secured.

Dick Nugent

A man's feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.

George Santayana

The chairman very much believes the issue of weapons of mass destruction is not settled yet and there are sufficient questions of organized looting, transfer to another country or party or things that may have been missed by the [Iraq] Survey Group.

Jamal Ware

This would be an indication that activity is increasing at more than half the manufacturing firms in the survey, and another sign of growth.

Carol Stone

Our ambition is to be worldwide leaders in survey technology, and I believe we will be there in three years.

Patrick Riley

We believe the American Community Survey is the future, not only for the census bureau, but also for local leaders, businesses and growing communities.

Louis Kincannon

This survey suggests that despite the continued resilience and relative strength of the U.S. economy, many parts of the globe remain mired in significant recessions.

Joseph Duncan

UVSC is now the third largest institution in the state, and this survey shows that our support and perceptions have increased over the past two years.

Derek Hall

This survey is indicating that the move in (ECB) rates might be earlier rather than later.

Chris Williamson

We may find that it's a wastewater plant operator or our parks employees whose pay we need to adjust higher. We'll know that better after we do a significant survey of 10 or 12 cities that we think we should stack up against.

Tony Williams

It's a survey of the community to see who's interested and who has ideas. It's a pretty conventional way of doing it.

Steve Brown

The rebound is very slow, gradual and uncertain. The survey shows a changing scenario in July, notably on the personal and general business outlooks which deteriorated significantly.

Emmanuel Ferry

We don't pray aloud. There are no religious classes, but we do have devotion each morning and we do have a New Testament and Old Testament survey. That is as far as we go.

Elmer Jackson

From our consumer survey, we found that consumers plan to spend a little more this year than last, ... That's no surprise because consumers have a little more money in their pockets than they did a year ago.

Ellen Tolley

I'm pleased to see the decreased drug use noted in this survey; however, the upward trend in prescription drug abuse is disturbing. We need to ensure that young people understand the very real risks of abusing any drug.

Elias Zerhouni

As long as the data point to an ongoing economic recovery, they should feel comfortable about normalizing rates. If anything, the survey numbers are more robust than before.

Elga Bartsch

What we're doing now is finishing up the final design work like surveying and mapping. We might put it out to bid in a month or five weeks. Hopefully we'll be in summer when work starts.

Eric Quinn

For 2006, Minnesota's big economic stories will be problems related to the continuing cutbacks in the U.S. auto industry, a turnaround for the telecommunications industry, and finally a weakening of Minnesota's construction industry. Nonetheless, our survey points to still solid growth for the first half of 2006.

Ernie Goss

It was always understood that we would look at it again when the survey was done.

Ernie Cox
