It's going to give them a significant competitive advantage.

Jim Gillette

It was a very violent act. It happened on school grounds. There was a significant public outcry: 'We can't have this happen again.'

Michael Miller

We would love to have the (transient occupancy tax), but we have not based our financial projection on a significant amount of (such) income, ... We recognize hotels will occur here later in our development cycle.

Paul Malone

The ice sheet is losing mass at a significant rate. It's a good indicator of how the climate is changing. It tells us we have to pay attention.

Isabella Velicogna

It imparts a certain momentum to nuclear negotiations with the US. France has played a significant role in what is currently going on between India and the US.

Dilip Lahiri

Union endorsements have a significant impact on what members do, less on their families and others. Newspaper editorials mostly help when they confirm what someone is thinking of doing anyway.

John Mollenkopf

This is a significant win for us and it cements our position as a pre-eminent supplier of property management services in the public sector. Transit has placed its trust in us and we are delighted to be working in partnership with them.

Brandon Smith

I don't think you will see a significant increase because most people in the countryside just want to maintain the balance of foxes.

David Knowles

I think the people in Business License need to get better guidance before they run into significant constitutional problems. We would be happy to represent the Little Theatre.

Allen Lichtenstein

[There is no clear answer yet regarding the question of the] proper scope of executive power, ... is the most uncertain, and arguably the most significant issue in constitutional law today.

David Franklin

I do get involved in conduct issues, ... I think the fact that I played in the league gives me a significant advantage. But I don't ever go down the track of trying to do football things.

Jerry Richardson

These men and women interrupted their lives to answer the call of their country. They've done so at significant personal expense. Yet instead of rewarding them, the government has cashed in on their sacrifices. Worse, when some of these soldiers fought for the reimbursements that were rightly theirs, the bureaucrats at the Massachusetts National Guard declared war on them.

John Shek

There are significant challenges when it comes to talent. Companies are responding by aggressively recruiting and grooming their own talent within China to meet their growing demands and long-term needs.

Shao Dan

It's a significant (increase) each semester. There are people who just enjoy that classroom atmosphere. ... (But) I think you'll continue to see online classrooms grow.

Crystal Riley

The legal victory represents a significant reduction in the risk profile of the company. The company's fending off of this major threat is likely to lift sentiment for the entire large-cap pharmaceutical group through the remainder of 2005.

David Moskowitz

Very often, it's the case that the heirs of significant collectors are not particularly interested in art, and sometimes the simplest thing to do is to have a collection sold off.

Richard Gray

It is significant. We're going from talking to doing.

Denise Holmes

Diesel exhaust is very dirty, and it's a huge contributor to air pollution in many communities. This will make significant changes in the air quality in a lot of our urban areas.

Janice Nolen

To be singled out like this ? as though the owners and operators of golf courses in this region are not part of the mainstream business community and do not make significant contributions to local economies ? is outrageous.

Mike Hughes

This is a significant problem that is endangering Americans and costing us billions and billions of dollars.

Parris Glendening

Our expectation is that there would be significant redemptions from the fund -- about $3 billion over the next three to six months.

Barry Colvin

We are hoping the schools will show significant improvements.

Charles Glover

This is a highly significant report coming as it does from an affiliate body of the African Union.

Iden Wetherell

This new breakthrough -- perhaps the most significant change to the game since the tie-breaker -- will improve line calls for players, while adding excitement and intrigue for fans and TV viewers.

Arlen Kantarian

This is a significant bet from a serious source and we will be monitoring the market carefully to see if the gamble gathers momentum.

Simon Clare

But what was a body? Dust, dung, urine, itches. It was the light within which was important, and it was not significant if that light endured after death, or if the soul was blinded eternally in the endless night of the suspired flesh.

Taylor Caldwell

It's one of our top companies, their headquarters is based here and that has significant impact on our national presence.

Matt Parker

In the manufacturing world, that's significant. We're driving toward a culture of watching out for one another.

Michael Spence

It's a significant step forward, and hopefully it will give you the boost to enlarge membership.

Tony Garcia

Those kinds of things will be necessary in order to get additional units online. This is a significant step but one of many that are to come.

Steven Arabia

It's very significant for the students of Kansas. Instead of just the evidence that supports evolution, they're going to see all sides.

Casey Luskin

If nothing [regulatory] changes then Telstra will continue to have significant problems.

Scott Marshall

Usually, if we're going to use something long term, we buy it with Software Assurance, ... So the fact that they're doing a new product release isn't a significant concern to me.

Stan Johnson

The decision was made to proceed speedily and appropriately to bring UU4 down, weighed against the alternative of shutting down multiple units, creating significant other risks.

Ronnie Chappell

They're spending more money than they originally planned. They're spending $20,000 to $50,000 more. That's significant money.

Keller Williams

It is just a political maneuver that will not contribute anything significant to the nation and state.

Ahmad Rofiq

We have always known Jack had nothing to answer for . . . we thank the jury and the acquittal has been a significant victory.

Brian Thomas

Anybody that averages 28 points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots per game is a significant part of everything you do.

Bill Bufton

I think it's generally significant, but investors tend to brush it off in the sense that they think it's just moving (revenue) from one period to another.

Mark Rosen

Kellogg Company is very committed to delivering shareholder value. Consequently, we are pleased to announce the repurchase of these shares from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust. Our Company's operating principles focus the entire organization on generating cash flow and creating the financial flexibility necessary for us to complete significant transactions such as this.

Jim Jenness

I'm excited, it's about time. I've been ready to play all year. I'm excited about getting some time and some significant time.

Jim Sorgi

This agreement with Johnson & Johnson provides significant financial value and certainty for shareholders. Together with Johnson & Johnson, we will have the resources to continue to build upon the existing Guidant businesses in our pursuit of meaningful innovations to address cardiovascular disease.

James Cornelius

The recovery is eventually going to happen, but I don't see it being that significant in 2003.

James Sanders

Using a still-developing broadband channel to distribute flagship TV programming carries significant risks for Disney.

James Penhune

You will have significant variety up and down. You'll have towns with a low tax rate and low values matched up with towns with high values, but not necessarily high property-tax rates. . . . Where there is a clear ability to pay, with low rates, then those towns would be consequently impacted.

Tom Vincz

This little device has a significant amount of storage.

Scott Larson

What we are looking for is an outcome that protects our customers and shareholders. After all, this is a project that generates a significant amount of electricity at a low cost.

Dave Kvamme

The visit is significant in view of the strategic partnership between the two countries.

Navtej Sarna

We encountered a significant amount of questions about the project.

Wilson Nolan

A significant stroke means that there has been extensive damage.

Shlomo Moryussef

We are making significant steps that will enhance our focus on meeting financial commitments and position us to meet marketplace demands for 2003 and beyond.

Len Lauer

The only two newcomers that play significant minutes last year have been hurt this year. This team just needed time for growth and maturity.

Debra Clark

We want to unlock significant shareholder value. What we're trying to do is help the company reconfigure itself.

William Ackman

Dick has had involvement with every aspect of an NFL team, outside of coaching and scouting. His legal expertise, his working knowledge of the business, his relationships at the league office and the respect he has already earned around the league will be a significant asset for the franchise.

Steve Bisciotti

The significant snow didn't get as far north into New England as anticipated.

Donald Miller

For the expectations to be correct, you have to believe that the p/e multiple would have to go to never-before-reached heights or there is significant earnings to the upside of the estimates. Both expectations are problematic.

John Neff

We saw a pretty significant, 12 percent quarter-on-quarter decline in memory prices.

Mike Sadler

That's significant. We're not just tweaking around the edges here. This is a pretty big deal.

Becky Kelley

These events are significant for us as they show the world and especially to China that Tibetans all over listen to the Dalai Lama and are willing to make sacrifices if he wishes so.

Lobsang Choephal

[The data] could prove marginally positive for ATI. Its share gain in the performance DX9 sub-segment is encouraging, and we believe this is the beginning of more significant high-end share gains by ATI in upcoming quarters.

Gurinder Kalra

It is going to be mid-2006 before we see any significant change in market conditions.

Geoff Cooper

We believe precipitous declines in NAND prices are being driven primarily by excess supply, as NAND makers have invested significant capital over the last several quarters. In addition to capital investments dedicated purely to NAND, the transition of DRAM capacity to NAND capacity has further exacerbated the supply problem in NAND.

James Covello

We believe that this tax rate, at 20 percent, is a significant increase in tax and may lead us to not developing all of the resources that are there on the North Slope.

Richard Owen

We do not expect our customers to notice any significant change in our pricing.

Parri Munsell

I think we've seen a significant market bottom.

Tom Mcmanus

This agreement with Johnson and Johnson provides significant financial value and certainty for shareholders.

James Cornelius

It's just another example of a development company contributing a significant amount of money to the campaign coffers of candidates who influence land-use policy.

Phil Andrews

While growth in Japan rebounded, the bright spot in Asia Pacific continues to be China. The combination of a healthy economy and increasing diagnosis and treatment rates make China extremely attractive to multinational pharmaceutical companies. Many of them are expanding their presence in China now because they recognize the significant long-term business opportunities that market presents.

Ray Hill

A large piece of a small plane is a significant amount of discovery.

Michael Goldfarb

We believe there is opportunity for significant shareholder value to be created through the combination of product lines in both these businesses and from greater opportunity for growth.

R. Keith Elliott

We are pleased to reach this significant milestone. The powerful combination of these companies will bring the assets, people and projects together to deliver value to all stakeholders.

Greg Wilkins

There will be thousands of Internet winners, there will also be thousands of significant Internet losers, ... Therefore, the average public investor today needs to do far more homework than ever before.

Jim Breyer

The only possible sanction would be a cutoff of Title 1 funds, and that would be a very significant sanction.

Clint Bolick

This was a very competitive group of entries. The judging was tremendously difficult. Each of the entries explored the power of Revenue Optimization techniques to generate significant cash flow and improved earnings under diverse circumstances. However, the winning entry demonstrated a very real and immediate potential to revolutionize the $200 billion fashion industry.

Robert Cross

We saw significant growth in our consumer, corporate and investment banking business units last year, and we hope to retain double-digit growth momentum this year.

Morris Li

The new product pipeline has never been stronger as we plan to introduce significant new therapies to treat major medical problems such as heart failure.

Art Collins

All three represent significant challenges. All three could go the wrong way for him, or all three could go the right way.

David Winston

It's about money, permanent and significant damages. It's also about accountability on the part of the government and the media.

Colin Wood

Over the past couple of months, we've seen a significant increase in the number of plus members calling us to get the free gallon or two.

Robert Sinclair

We have a large underclass in Britain, and a fairly low standard of education. Our best universities are extremely good, but a very significant proportion of the British population that comes out of compulsory schooling with very low standards of education.

Nigel Short

They would provide a significant amount of the local (funding) match that could alleviate the need for a local tax increase to help finance the system.

Jacob Snow

Vendors experienced significant growth in the color page printer market due to aggressive pricing, as the average selling price of these devices declined 21 percent in 2005. Monochrome page printer shipments remain strong due to the growth in small and midsize business (SMB) and remote workers that need inexpensive printers.

Peter Grant

My significant other right now is myself, which is what happens when you suffer from multiple personality disorder and self-obsession.

Joaquin Phoenix

It is becoming increasingly evident that the impact of this storm on oil and natural gas operations will be significant and protracted, ... In the coming days and weeks, we commit to doing our best to minimize any inconvenience for consumers.

Red Cavaney

It's unlikely that any past deforestation -- legal or illegal -- has really played a significant role in causing that landslide.

Patrick Durst

This really is a pre-emptive move. It's pretty plain that Washington Woods in the next two to four years will have a significant amount of new construction, or is likely to. (Redistricting will) keep it from having massive overpopulation problems.

Garrick Phillips

Traditionally, there was a perception that households in China do all the savings. Household saving is significant in China, but it is not driving the national savings.

Louis Kuijs

One and a half to two times normal -- that's significant.

Bob Farrell

The Sunrise 4.5 XA clinical suite is our biggest and most significant product release to date.

R. Andrew Eckert

Bond fund managers don't believe long-term inflation is a significant worry.

John Norris

Both of those are significant constitutional questions.

Bill Fletcher

If you can't show through an audit trail how you arrived at the numbers on your balance sheet, that is a significant internal control failure.

Robert Cobb

We do not see a significant positive catalyst in the near term, so we think the shares are likely to mark time until better visibility emerges into fiscal 2006 results.

Gregory Smith

This designation as a Gold Certified Partner not only speaks to the significant quantity of Licensing we are providing our clients through the Microsoft Service Provider Licensing Agreement. But more importantly it speaks to the quality and value our staff and services are delivering.

Rich Lee

0-10 didn't seem too significant at that point. You know people that knew someone (in the mines), so it sure does consume the place.

Bill Lilly

Microsoft's repeated disclosures to the press to spin its position in settlement are a significant obstacle to making progress.

Gina Talamona

The most significant challenge, the No. 1 issue, is hiring skilled workers.

Sara Hart

Accommodations are more like those of a dormitory than a hotel, ... Those hotels providing temporary shelter today will require significant refurbishing in the future before resuming normal operations and welcoming the traveling public.

Patrick Ford

Talking the talk is a good first start. They are playing a very leading role as a corporate citizen and reacting to criticisms they have received. We're going to wait and see what they put in place and see how significant those actions prove to be.

Jim Russell

It's a pretty significant day for us. It is a day of abstinence when we fast, pray and smear ourselves with burnt ash to remind us of our sinfulness, forgiveness and mortality. It sets the tone for the penitential season leading up to Easter.

Dan Andriacco

As wireless networks become more complex, there is increasing demand for end-to-end troubleshooting and monitoring solutions that ensure optimal network performance. We are honored to be recognized by the industry's leading experts for closely aligning our product line strategy with customer needs, which has resulted in continuous significant market penetration.

Thomas Jensen

Most of the games that were significant I went about 10-deep on our bench. And 10-deep meaning my eight and nine can still guard your top two. I started off the year practicing against boys, and I got rid of them because my second five was better than the boys that I could get to come play us.

Rhonda Brown

Every year is different. We bring a team back with a lot of returning players and hopefully that will be reflected next year. This young team needs to show some significant progress next year.

Dave Heeke

We have been expected by a significant segment of our population to do our due diligence - and not simply sit around and wait. You can't wait. You've got to do the proper planning up front.

Wendell Coleman

The possibility of big surpluses at Olympic time, I think, are not that probable. So why would these union leaders then give up their possibility of putting significant pressure on the government at the time of the Olympics?

John Fryer

We've actually been at the low-end of the Street range for the fourth quarter ... (and) felt that we had to go even lower, so we did -- a nine percent across-the-board trimming here for the fourth quarter, ... The backlogs are still very significant, but the current environment is just not allowing deals to get done.

Richard Strauss

Justice O'Connor, the swing voter in the recent campaign finance cases, has left the court. The Vermont case could present the new Roberts Court with an opportunity to begin imposing significant restrictions on the ability of the government to limit the role of money in politics.

Richard Hasen

The significant number of development drilling locations combined with the substantial land inventory associated with JMG should provide continued growth for JED. Bringing the two companies under one management team will also provide significant synergies and operating efficiencies.

Al Williams

That makes a significant impact on how long folks can spend riding rides, not standing in line for rides.

Brad Thomas

Being the long-term exclusive cable home for PGA Tour golf, it's a significant step forward. It continues to reinforce The Golf Channel's position as golf's home.

David Manougian

You have to do some research. You have to complete a description of the property, which can be quite detailed. And you have to create your statement of significance. You have to build a case for why the property is significant.

Mark Miles

We will not actively pursue a US acquisition, and that is a significant change from where we were before.

Leonard Asper

Any way you slice it, the report suggests homebuilding is holding up quite well, and it will continue to be strong until we see a significant rise in mortgage rates. There's no evidence that a peak has been reached in the housing market.

Dean Maki

The challenges are significant, but we believe we're making progress.

Andy Purdy

This is an exciting development for Johnson County. Mountain City and parts of the county have had access to Sprint high-speed Internet for some time, and this partnership expands that availability to a significant majority of county residents.

Jim Wilhoit

Our findings have the potential to be very significant on several fronts.

Lawrence W. Bergman

In one year, the Michael J. Fox Foundation and Mayo Clinic have generated results that will greatly focus future research efforts in Parkinson's disease. If replication of only one of these findings leads to a better understanding of the causes of the disease or improvements in the early detection or treatment of patients, we will have made significant progress.

David Cox

A number of previous studies have linked lower levels of omega-3 to clinically significant conditions such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance abuse and attention-deficit disorder.

Sarah Conklin

The market, looking for a move down to 85 in the Michigan data, is maybe not pricing in the full risk of a significant slow-down...I think the dollar is vulnerable to a weaker number.

Steve Barrow

The issues are so significant the whole process should start over again. It shouldn't just be a negotiating session between the Division of Air Quality and Peabody because obviously we know where they come down.

John Blair

This is a significant marijuana seizure. It appears that it's being brought into the area from outside the state and intended for distribution, not only locally, but throughout this region. The obvious question one would have is, 'Does this marijuana have something to do with the 11 pounds of crystal seized a week before?' The answer is we don't know.

Undersheriff Rick Scott

We remain supportive of the project. There's been a significant amount already spent... (Shaw has) performed admirably in all this. The challenge is moving forward with a financial plan.

Jim Pennekamp

You need those services to be 'on.' I have come to expect 99.9 per cent uptime, and when a service crashes there is significant frustration.

David Boxer

The tax breaks are significant. The government is subsidizing your mortgage and property taxes.

David Block

A 10% increase will still be significant in the greater scheme of things. I think the used car market will also increase by the same number of percentage points, provided prices decrease in order to compete with new cars.

Mike Schussler

This obviously represents a significant milestone for Chelton. Bell will be the first to offer this advanced technology from the factory.

Gordon Pratt

It's definitely the first significant snowstorm of the season for the region.

Bruce Terry

Petaluma doctors are taking very significant action, and it is sending a message to other physicians throughout the area.

Daymon Doss

I'm sad to say we have not had a significant influx of cash for bird flu over the last two years since we've really started to get worried about it.

Dr. David Nabarro

The number of things that we count as free today that used to cost money [such as TCP/IP] are quite significant.

Cameron Purdy

We actually return seven starters or part-time starters. There's an awful lot of guys that are returning this year that were part of a 21-1 team last year that had significant playing time.

Tom Sexton

No one will leave Safer America or saferamerica.com without a significant amount of training into what it is they are purchasing.

Harvey Kushner

The Helsinki pilot reinforces our belief that mobile broadcast TV is a significant opportunity.

Richard Sharp

Chris' broad expertise in business management will make him a very valuable addition to our management team. He has already begun to make a significant contribution.

Philip Teel

The federal sector has significant search and information needs. As we invest and grow that market, we are hiring top talent to build out the team.

Matt Glotzbach

Look at the teams we played when I was not there - Indy, Minnesota, Green Bay, Philadelphia - that's four playoff teams right there. I don't think it's a significant statistic. We just have to play better when I'm not in there or play easier teams.

Brian Urlacher

We believe this is a very significant turning point, ... and yet another indicator that the Iraqi regime is approaching its end.

Vincent Brooks

It's significant for the outlook for the economy if housing approvals turn the corner. In the second half of the year, housing will switch from being a drag on the economy to a positive.

Andrew Hanlan

The state is going to get hit, ... We're going to have a significant amount of rain and lots of wind. This is serious. This is a very dangerous storm.

Jeb Bush

Prior to this crisis, Asia was rigid, ... Now it's less centralized ? but human suffering was significant.

Paul Matthews

I can't see that having a huge impact on the drowning fatalities in Maryland. It would be a significant loss of personal freedom.

Jim Ellis

Bellinger Cottage is a significant home in Chicago's history. The next owner would be eligible for a Federal income tax deduction in exchange for a written promise of perpetual preservation.

Andrew Fisher

Debby is a dynamic leader with a proven track record of success not only in finance, but also in corporate strategy and operations, ... Her experience, ability and enthusiasm will make her an immediate and significant asset to our leadership team.

Richard Mcginn

There is little scope for significant price reductions, but we will be seeking to work with the government to ensure that U.K. customers continue to buy with confidence from U.K. dealers.

Christopher Macgowan

Although the plan represents significant new indebtedness on the part of the company, we believe that the cash flow from our Cracker Barrel Old County Store concept will continue to be strong and more than sufficient to service the debt and finance ... continued expansion.

Michael Woodhouse

The fire was a significant threat to homes in the area and burn around 200 acres.

Mike Shields

Our company has announced it is going to make a significant capital expense investment at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but on the specifics of those projects I'm not ready to comment.

Chris Powell

I am trying to prepare you that we are going to have a significant fee increase on the order of $4,000-$5,000, maybe higher when it's done.

Robert Wallace

Therefore, if Yahoo! shares are to provide investors with significant upside potential, then we believe it will have to become one of the most highly valued companies in the world.

Mark Rowen

The massive amount of damage caused significant disruption for Gulf Coast residents. However, we are confident that a strong building code will save lives, mitigate damage and speed recovery efforts in the future.

William Stander

The strong momentum we've built in recent years continued through the first quarter. We exceeded our growth targets, made significant investment in our businesses, and overcame continued cost pressures. These results again demonstrate the strength and flexibility of our business model.

Jim Jenness

The land-use decisions made throughout the county do not consider air quality at any step along the way. It's only a matter of time before we experience a significant decline in the air quality as a result of our region's growth.

Glenn Compton

We see this as a significant partnership.

Carrie Lewis

There was significant pickup in the last six weeks of the market; the buyers came flocking back. Part of it was the anticipation of the Wall Street bonuses, part of it was the feeling that there was some opportunity to buy and negotiate.

Pamela Liebman

Because it's been so mild this winter, because we haven't had any significant ice formations, it appears as though there is a good likelihood we won't see ice on the lake.

Francis Brautigam

This year's deer harvest demonstrates the overall success of deer herd reduction efforts implemented in counties exceeding their population objectives. We have made significant progress toward balancing the state's deer population with available habitat.

Frank Jezioro

He got a small but significant cut on his throat.  I don't want to over-dramatize it, but if it were a little deeper and a quarter-inch over, it would have been over his carotid artery. It didn't seem like much, but it could have been pretty bad.

Stan Conte

We have significant new restaurant expansion opportunities in both Canada and the areas where we have established the brand in the United States.

Paul House

We were exploring whether or not fish have the equivalent of mammalian menopause. We found that 60 percent of the fish had a significant post-reproductive lifespan, indicating that, yes, fish do have menopause. Indeed, their patterns of growing old are similar to those of mammals.

David Reznick

We are pleased to have acquired basic cable rights to this significant and important documentary that sheds considerable light upon the often neglected achievements of African-Americans in motor sports.

Robert Ecker

The reserves are of significant importance to upgrade the China image in the international economic arena, strengthen the nation's macro-control capabilities and guard against financial risks.

Xiao Zhuoji

There's been a significant amount of pressure to go back to the way things were. This [Stevens] bill as it stands now would preserve the 1996 shift to sustainability. That's first and foremost the most critical feature of the legislation.

Lee Crockett

We forged both of those agreements so that Abbott's vascular business will have some significant growth opportunities in either situation.

Jonathon Hamilton

The tree itself just has this glow about it. You can tell it's significant when you approach it.

Ben Phillips

They average about 5 miles per gallon, depending on the route and the load, they change oil about every 5,000 miles and have 18 tires which are predominantly petroleum products. When oil and diesel prices go up, there is a significant impact on the industry.

Kaylee Brown

It doesn't look like much, but it's statistically significant.

Phyllis Moen

If we were to look 15 years down the road, I believe Waldo Road will be a significant retail destination.

Grant Thrall

There appears to be a significant association between increased cholesterol levels and the risk of developing hypertension in healthy, middle-aged men.

Howard Sesso

I think compared with recent days ... there are significant changes in the prime minister's condition. But we still have a long way to go, and we have to be patient.

Dr. Yoram Weiss

I have five significant runners back.

Jim Hamilton

From providing any significant promotion or distribution of Netscape 's Navigator browser.

David Colburn

As disappointed as I am in the record, I do want to emphasize that with the current crop of players we have I feel very confident that there's going to be some significant improvement as we move forward.

Dave Littlefield

I think Ogden needs to keep these absolute treasures. Ogden High School is one of these significant buildings that needs to be kept intact.

Alan Hall

I am very concerned, given the destructive damage done by (Hurricanes) Katrina and Rita, that the United States must be closer to starting to see significant product shortages than we've seen since 1979.

Matthew Simmons

Today's decision means everyone loses. The Times has lost this case and will now undertake the difficult and sad process of removing significant portions from its electronic historical archive.

Arthur Sulzberger Jr

I think it's a great move. The blue jersey already means a lot to me but now it's really personal. The numbers aren't significant especially with our roving game plan so I think it's an initiative that makes sense Rugby-wise too.

Lote Tuqiri

It's significant. We have to keep an eye on that. That's where it starts to hit tax revenues.

Jeff Robinson

This is a very significant development. It shows that important artists, who we want in our community, care about people getting paid a living wage. We don't think he's the only one to feel this way.

Jack Porter

If somebody is really serious about getting rid of peafowl … then the rest of the taxpayers of the city should not be responsible for that service. I don't think we've had a significant number of residential complaints around the city. Maybe we are overreacting.

Councilwoman Susan Seamans

It is not hard to appreciate that this provides a significant boost to incomes and spending. With exports representing about a fifth of GDP, each 10 percent increase in the terms of trade adds about 2 percent to the value of national income.

Malcolm Edey

We have a good offer on the table, but we still have a $200-million gap between our two positions, so that will require significant conversation and (movement by) both parties.

Joy Warkentin

It has become clear that official intelligence was not relied on in making even the most significant national security decisions, that intelligence was misused publicly to justify decisions already made, that damaging ill will developed between policymakers and intelligence officers, and that the intelligence community's own work was politicized.

Paul Pillar

Earnings may surprise on the upside because of stronger than anticipated credit growth. There's been a very significant and sustained pick-up in business lending to fund capital investment.

Jack Chemello

Across the board, there's about a 6 percent chance of transforming an ischemic stroke into a hemorrhagic stroke. That's significant, because you are adding bleeding and inter-cranial pressure.

Dr. Tom Krenek

How much of news television viewing is reporter or personality driven? In the past we haven't seen significant amount of shifts when people switch networks.

Lyle Schwartz

Is Wal-Mart going after the Hispanic and African-American consumers? Absolutely. They're a significant percentage of Wal-Mart shoppers.

Howard Davidowitz

A significant number of these were damaged. Some of our guys and gals didn't exactly know how to install them and damaged them during installation.

Wes Johnson

We now have reported four consecutive quarters of gross margin improvement and achieved a significant milestone in reporting GAAP profitability for the fiscal third quarter.

Steve Schwartz

Sony has got a solid distribution network, ... It's got a great library and it's got a lot in the hopper ... Realistically, there are some significant buyers.

Porter Bibb

Through the skin you have to use much higher currents, which can cause significant discomfort to the patient, and the skin actually limits the total amount of stimulation that can be achieved.

Paul White

He had a discerning eye, and a narrative is built into his photographic record. By the places he went to and what he photographed, he is showing the aftermath on significant structures, as well as the recovery and people getting their lives back together.

Philip Adams

If a band of strong wind and rain is coming into the Western Isles of Scotland, with its population of 25,000 or 30,000, then that is significant for them. But if the major urban areas are not affected then it is a good idea not to focus on that first if the majority of the country is fine and settled.

Wayne Elliott

The flaw is fairly significant in terms of its reach.

Alain Sergile

It's a horrible problem, ... financially the consequences are significant.

David Nelson

Our assumption is that the U.S. economy will continue to improve, at least gradually, but technology spending will not show significant improvement probably for another six months.

Jeff Henley

When policy-makers have already witnessed a significant move in asset values, and are confident in what that move means for the outlook, it should be prepared to adjust policy accordingly. The central bank must be responding to its assessment of what an already observed movement in asset prices will mean for output and inflation.

Timothy Geithner

I'm disappointed that despite many trusts making significant reductions in infections the overall figures do not reflect these improvements. We think better reporting is a factor but we would still expect the NHS to do better. It must do better.

Jane Kennedy

This fire was more significant than some of the other experiences we've had here.

Frank Mcneice
