There needs to be a reduction in the amount of mercury people are exposed to whether they're in Nevada, in Idaho or in Utah.

Justin Hayes

Prices on average will flatten. Some niches, like condos, might see a reduction. But we're not going to see anything that's inconsistent with what Florida has experienced in the past.

Hank Fishkind

They'll take a reduction in order to persist.

Joseph Lukasiewicz

I think there is a reasonable chance we will see another interest rate reduction before the cycle is over, but I don't think it is going to happen quite yet.

Paul Donovan

Some traders are locking in profits from their bets on a reduction in the yield difference. They may be thinking that the market has already priced in the likely level of Bank of Japan rate increases this year.

Norihisa Takao

Even a slight reduction in revenue can have a significant impact.

Bill Wright

I'll be more specific. ...This year the show will lose $16 million for The WB, and that's with a license fee reduction from last year. At least to us, that's a big number.

Garth Ancier

This is a more realistic way to address the reduction of material costs, to take it down to the part level, ... We hope it will be significant.

Tom Wickham

We're at the point now where the next recommendation looks like it will have to be a transportation reduction. I honestly don't think I can bring a recommendation before the board for another reduction in staff.

Bill Wise

The price reduction is not as great as what GM has made it out to be. They are squeezing the dealers.

George Hoffer

The exclusion of same-sex domestic partners from this program [tuition reduction] is detrimental to the university's ability to attract and retain the most qualified employees without regard to their household arrangements, and is inequitable to employees who cannot marry their domestic partners.

Peter Likins

The mistakes of the trial chamber justify the reduction of the sentence.

Fausto Pocar

From a management standpoint and a cost-reduction standpoint ... you can now with a single console, with reduced costs, manage all these point products with just one resource and one just one technology.

Jack Sebbag

We expect that Del Monte will apply its free cash flow to debt reduction over the intermediate term to improve credit measures to those more commensurate with the current rating. The rating could be lowered if Del Monte is unable to reduce leverage as planned.

Ronald Neysmith

I think I have explained many times that there is no alternative to legislation if we want to implement this year's pay reduction with certainty. And I think it is only incumbent on the government to proceed with this piece of legislation.

Joseph Wong

People talk about the possible reduction of choice. I don't see it that way.

Roger Kay

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

Gary Taylor

Terry Butler

Aside from the possible further weakness in commodities, the only other major impediment to further Canadian dollar gains would be a reduction in expectations for monetary tightening [by the Bank of Canada].

Maria Jones

We'll take those (surcharges) down if and when there's reduction in fuel costs.

Fred Smith

No spending reduction is easy, otherwise they would have been done a long time ago.

Pete Sepp

Todd Cherry

These concerns also led to a reduction in speculative long positions in the futures market, resulting in less speculative support for spot prices.

Gerard Burg

You know it helps seniors who don't work. You also know homestead exclusions are only eligible to those who own a home, so renters wouldn't see a reduction. But generalizations after that get more difficult.

Drew Crompton

I would go so far as to say that, not only is Microsoft wrong about the reduction of spam, but they are actually part of the problem. Microsoft could, for example, more aggressively attack spammers operating off Microsoft-owned Hotmail accounts.

Richard Cox

On the one hand, it's certainly better than having a reduction in funds, and it's much better than what we've been receiving over the last decade, but is it a cure-all, probably not.

Marjorie Kaplan

The first would be odor reduction. Odor is a comfort issue. We describe this as a nuisance odor. People react to odors differently. ... It doesn't necessarily mean there's a health effect but it does affect comfort within the building.

Robert Rottersman

This seems a very modest reduction.

Paul Ginsburg

A merger of the second and third largest suppliers of architectural and decorative paint has the potential to lead to a significant reduction in competition and increased prices.

As soon as the conditions are right, there will be a considerable reduction in the coalition forces.

Muwaffaq Rubaie

So we're paying about $2 million a year on debt reduction.

Dick Hamilton

Chrysler is doing well because of a massive restructuring two to four years ago, and thanks to investment in new products. This is mainly a cost reduction story, but also a product story.

Jürgen Pieper

But the magnitude of recent fuel price rises mean even these cost reduction measures are now not enough.

Rob Mcdonald

The key factors helping to buoy spending over the November-December gift-buying period were continued employment gains coupled with a steep reduction in gas prices.

Wayne Best

When you juxtapose that with the apparent insensitivity of the demand curve, then what happens is that even though it's a relatively small reduction in supply, you need huge price increases to rein in demand.

Jeffrey Rubin

It's a fairly significant jump. But there is no fundamental reason for it to go up. There was a little blip before when there was the threat of action. But last time there appeared to be no reduction in output from Iraq during the four days of military conflict.

Charlie Sharp

We believe it will be hard to accumulate enough reserves to fully insulate the state from a spending reduction.

Brad Williams

Kevin Baskin

The approach offered by OIN represents another reduction of the perceived liability risk of utilizing Linux faced by developers and customers.

Allonn E. Levy

The best service we can provide is the reduction of downtime when a customer has a hydraulic failure.

Dave Harder

We know that a 5 to 10 percent weight loss has significant effects on blood glucose and on blood pressure and triglycerides.

Cathy Nonas

We will sit down with her and there will be reduction of that this year.

Herman Frazier

I think they've shortened his starting point and have brought about a slight reduction in his run-up. But I don't think he can reduce it anymore than what he has already done.

Wasim Akram

The low-hanging fruits in the non-performing asset (NPA) pools have been picked and any further reduction in NPA would come from resolution of the relatively intractable assets.

Ritesh Maheshwari

We recorded a slight reduction in load factor for the quarter but posted an overall increase for the whole financial year.

Idris Jala

That's a pretty sizeable reduction, and it appears to be working. So they knew that to be right, they had to be very, very right.

Jennifer Black

Individuals who are targeting a lower replacement ratio will see a significant reduction in their standard of living.

Dan Houston

It just makes sense. There's a massive program that has come to an end, and the state is doing the logical reduction in manpower.

Doug Bournique

The emissions trading scheme must be given every opportunity to succeed, ... Increasing taxes on aviation is a blunt way of placing additional costs on the industry without offering any guarantee of a reduction in emissions.

Andrew Sentance

Five-year notes are a better bet as they have priced in a reduction of the money in the banking system. Long bonds have yet to fully price in the probability that the Bank of Japan will end the current easing policy.

Jun Ishii

We feel positive about our many growth opportunities and our cost reduction initiatives outlined in January. We also have already begun to see the benefits from our lean manufacturing initiatives and have experienced a broad base of support for these efforts throughout our operations.

Jack Ward

There's no data to determine whether this is associated with a reduction in clinical events like heart attacks, strokes and deaths. We just don't know yet.

Edward Hill

In my opinion it (the cost reduction plan) is absolutely necessary.

Edward Bastian

While market conditions will continue to be competitive, we fully intend to expand our business and grow market share profitably in 1999. The company will continue its aggressive drive of reduction of cost and operating expenses in the face of a very competitive market.

Eckhard Pfeiffer

You had this population-wide reduction (in fat). Everyone heard about fats. We wanted to get saturated fats down. One way to do that was to lower total fats. That was the public health message.

Eva Obarzanek

What has transpired over the last several years ... is a reduction in our state appropriation as an overall percentage of our budget.

Ernst Roberts

There was simply this bullying, reduction of 25 percent, which most of us in the community was malicious, and petty, and the sort of thing that most of grew out of a long time ago.

Eric Murray

Our operating expenses came down thanks to our cost-reduction efforts.

Eric Yu

You can never be assured of removing all breast tissue. But it is a huge reduction in breast cancer.

Emily Harris

We need to move as fast as we can. The longer we wait to take concerted action, the greater the impacts will be ... the more it will cost to achieve the reduction.

Elliot Diringer

The reduction in the yield differential is a negative for the rand. With the rand being strong so recently, some people may be speculating about a cut in South African rates.
