Adding a second station in northern Gold Canyon, along with the move of the other Gold Canyon station to U.S. 60 should significantly improve our response times in an area that needs improvement.
John Flynn
We have significantly upgraded our team. We knew that we needed to replace some people in the post when Natalie Williams announced her retirement. We feel that we've got good stability and athleticism at the post now, and we've gotten bigger on our perimeter.
Kelly Krauskopf
In the recent past, NetApp's enterprise business in India has been growing significantly; and we believe this partnership is the next logical step in firmly establishing NetApp as the storage solutions provider of choice for mid and large enterprise customers.
George Thomas
Our extensive global distribution demonstrates the strong interest in our programming from all regions of the world, and this newest agreement significantly contributes to our rapid expansion in Latin America. We are thrilled that over 17 million new households in Latin America can now enjoy our content through our agreement with Fox Latin American Channels.
Kristen Jordan
We believe this will significantly increase our ability to attract new businesses to Tehama County.
John Crosby
We find that ethanol can, if it is made correctly, contribute significantly to both energy and environmental goals. However, the current way of producing ethanol with corn probably only meets energy goals.
Alexander Farrell
[EU leaders] reached a compromise that still leaves Europe significantly protected against imports.
Vicky Pryce
I am well aware that Sanctuary has disappointed the market significantly this year and, with hindsight, it is clear we grew too fast.
Andy Taylor

Brandon Davis
It's more and more the sobering acknowledgement that the industry is significantly challenged.
David Sowerby
An aerial IED would be another indication of the enemy's innovation and creativity. Clearly they recognize that the publicity that surrounds a destroyed or damaged aircraft is significantly greater than the publicity that surrounds a destroyed or damaged vehicle.
Genjohn Keane
There are many people of integrity in both parties who will continue to oppose this radical effort to significantly weaken one of our country's most important environmental laws.
Robert Stack
I was pleased that we've agreed to work together to deepen significantly the flows of investment, technology, and tourists in both directions.
James Peterson
Earnings per share in the first half are likely to be significantly below last year and it is not clear that any profit shortfall in the first half will be fully recovered in the second.
Kevin Lomax
We really haven't had to increase fees very significantly. A lot of them don't have any increase.
Nancy Carroll
It is my firm belief that elimination of the exemption would inevitably and significantly reduce the level of professional arts activity in the state.
John O'donoghue
When a book is named a Newbery winner, it means that probably every public library in the nation, and most schools in the nation, will have a copy of this book. Plus, it will be one that will be gifted to children everywhere. It will be discussed, and it will probably never go out of print, so this will change her life significantly.
Barbara Barstow
They are all human beings there, ... I think it played significantly in the final decision.
Paul Hirsch
I don't think I'm revealing any secrets when I say that Jet Li will be involved in the next two Matrix films, which means that the Kung-Fu action is going to be stepped-up significantly.

We have the potential to have a significantly more active fire season ... than we have seen in the past three years.
Scott Peterich
This article points to the possibility that healthier living can significantly contribute to reducing the numbers of sick and mentally declining older people, and reduce health care costs. To accomplish that, we need more research to show us which specific combinations of lifestyle choices, and also future therapies, will maintain our brain and emotional health.
William Thies
We wanted the DuPont technology that would help us to make a significantly better soy-milk beverage; DuPont wanted our marketing expertise and selling infrastructure. Both sides wanted to be in the business; both sides wanted what the other had.
James Lawrence
Odds are the findings are significantly related to the underlying religious beliefs of this population.
Richard Suzman
Even after years of smoking cessation, levels of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) are significantly higher in former smokers compared with never-smokers.
Dr. Sachin Agarwal
We will expand further in asset management, invest significantly in our e-business platform and examine attractive opportunities to fill existing gaps in the areas of M&A and private banking.

This may tip the scales for some of those women. We could have significantly fewer cases of breast cancer in this country.
Dr. Kathy Albain
Our research found that students who owned an alcohol-branded item were significantly more likely to have initiated alcohol use than students who did not own one. We recommend that parents discourage their children from wearing these products and that schools limit the display of alcohol-branded items among students.
Auden Mcclure
As a regular commissioner, it takes about 50 percent of my time, ... As chairman, it's about 90 percent of my time. It's significantly more work and more hours.
Bill Bullard
If it's significantly faster than the first mile, the coach should have raised eyebrows.
Mark Anderson
We hope the funds invested in the capital market, including bonds, will increase significantly.
Darmin Nasution
More than half the states now require passage of a test before awarding a high school diploma. Proponents claimed this additional hurdle would 'raise the bar' for educational quality. But SAT and ACT scores show that college readiness skills, as measured by these indicators, have not improved significantly.
Robert Schaeffer
We were extremely pleased that we exceeded our consolidated financial expectations for the third quarter and significantly reduced our operating cash usage, ... We expect that these trends will continue into fiscal 2002.
David Wetherell
I don't see anything on the horizon that would significantly change our posture prior to the election.
Terrance Gainer

Anne Stevens
There's no barrier to the Fed lowering interest rates significantly.
John Ryding
Dr. King will get more recognition as a fact of life in a federally dominated America. Yet Lee and Jackson deserve considerable recognition, significantly more than today, for future Virginians to follow their example as heroes.
James Bowden
G6 sales were up significantly in the fourth quarter of 2005 and are actually growing when the mid-size car market is shrinking.
Dan Flores
The end result was revenue projections that were significantly overstated, costs that do not appear to be reasonable for the service delivered and contracts that do not adequately protect the city from financial risk.
Shannon Hunt
As a practical matter, it could affect the kinds of assignments a judge gets. It could affect whether or not a judge would be approved by a Bar association or other screening committees for election. And nobody likes or enjoys the public criticism that a censure brings. It is significantly a deterrent and an educational tool for other judges to use as a guide for how to behave.
Robert Tembeckjian
We concluded that we needed to build our pipeline more significantly for the years down the road.
Peter Kellogg
We are significantly ahead of where we were at the halfway mark in Salt Lake, and we usually win more medals in the second half than in the first.
Shane Pearsall
We expect that within a very short period of time Washington Woods will become significantly overpopulated if we don't make that move.
Garrick Phillips
We should make SA a more attractive investment destination and lowering the company tax burden significantly is long overdue.
Louis Luyt
The reason the department refused to grant the few waiver is because this organization failed to demonstrate that its request was in the public interest in that it was not likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government.
Chad Colby
Support for equal rights for gays and lesbians, while still far from overwhelming, increased significantly during the 1990s and appears likely to continue to expand slowly but surely.
Stephen Klineberg
We are able to lower the gas cost significantly because wholesale prices have been coming down.
Alicia Dixon
It's the same reasons as in the past. The price of crude oil is up significantly and there is a high demand (for gasoline), not only in the U.S., but around the world.
Nicole Niemi
This adds to the growing evidence that sleep deprivation among medical residents significantly impairs their ability to perform, although it is important to note that we did not assess performance on specific medical tasks.
J. Todd Arnedt
We are now expecting profits to be significantly below our original plans for the year, almost entirely because of the weakness in advertising markets.
Marjorie Scardino
We continue to be pleased with our asset/liability management performance which, in a challenging interest rate environment, again produced an increase in our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2006. The expansion of our loan portfolio in a period of rising interest rates contributed significantly to our second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in net interest revenue.
Aubrey Patterson
It all depends on how the bankrupt airlines ... utilize the cost savings they achieve. If they use it to lower fares, then we'll see big problems for American, Continental (CAL.N: Quote , Profile , Research ) and even the discount airlines. The cost per seat mile will be lowered fairly significantly.
John Weiss
Is there some frustration in that this has lasted now significantly longer than people thought it would at the onset? Yes, that frustration is there.
Joe Schwarz
[The] single most common source of changing requirements [is] requirements that were not significantly investigated in the first place.
Steve Mcconnell
This overall figure is down significantly from previous years, probably due to the fact that there was a dense fog during the a.m. hours, and also due to the fact this has been a very mild winter.
Mark Willis
It's going to be hard. It's a complicated task. I think Siebel just made it significantly more complex at a relatively late date.
Josh Greenbaum
For a short time it affected water pressure pretty significantly.
Tony Winnicker
These cost savings vary significantly by offshore location. Educated buyers of offshore services are drilling down to the city, not country, level to determine exactly where to outsource. Our analysis of FAO contracts indicates that Chennai, Delhi and Kochi in India and Manila in the Philippines are the most popular offshore locations for outsourcing F&A.
Joe Fernandes
Obviously, everyone knows we have had a dry summer, and as a consequence we had significantly improved water sales this summer.
Tony Williams
We recognize these cancellations will significantly impact passengers intending to travel to or from Alaska.

Rod Schrock
We cannot be certain right now how the events of last week will ultimately impact the U.S. and global economies, the air transportation industry and FedEx, ... Nonetheless, we see our company well positioned to significantly increase growth, profitability, returns and cash flow as the global economies improve and trading activities increase.
Frederick Smith
With the caution that this is inherently a very volatile set of numbers - especially in July when seasonal swings are huge - the reported results were significantly softer than expected just about across the board.
Ted Wieseman
The bank stocks are affected by what the Fed does. If the Fed's going to be pushing rates up aggressively, it's going to hard for bank stocks to significantly do better than the market. But I think some of the stocks are cheap enough that they're worth at least nibbling on at this point.
Ron Mandle
That's why the revenue is significantly higher [in August], it's because of that sale.
Mike Heffernan
Investors have a right to be skeptical that the deal goes through as originally announced. But I don't see J&J as having meaningful leverage in negotiating a significantly lower price. I think the deal goes through with minor adjustments.
Michael Barr
I am very pleased to have David join our board of directors. David's deep knowledge and experience in financial services combined with his stature as an industry leader will allow him to contribute significantly to the company as we move ahead.
Ric Duques
The acquisition of B.C. Moore's represents a logical next step for us following our successful integration of Peebles. It significantly enhances the strategic and geographic development of our business, improves our competitive position, and presents us with a compelling opportunity for increased sales and earnings.
Jim Scarborough
It's weird. There are these little subtle changes that kind of go into looking significantly younger than you really are.
John Hensley
These have died down significantly, though, due to the help of the police and fire departments.
Bruce Qualls
Eric has dramatically improved the profitability of McAfee during 2005, significantly growing net operating margin. In addition, he has significantly improved the business and financial operations of the company. We look forward to having Eric improve all company operations in his expanded role.
George Samenuk
I can't evaluate things day-by-day because there are going to be bad days. We evaluate on a weekly basis, and I've gotten significantly better each week.
Jeff Niemann
The fourth quarter numbers are significantly ahead of our forecasts, but there's no pipeline news that we didn't already know.
Orla Hartford
The Dallas-Fort Worth market continues to be significantly above the national average, and competition is still fierce, which is good news for consumers.
Paula Sonkin
We anticipate inventory turns to improve in Q3 and to improve more significantly over time.
Dennis Powell
I don't see the technical action on the TSE being very constructive today. It's a surprise that Nortel hasn't more significantly rebounded.
Gerald Vincent
The automotive components business is consolidating, and we see participants as needing to grow significantly or to consider other options, including divestiture.
David George
At the end of the day, there was a net buyback of about $300 million. That should be positive but the problem is that the market had overreacted to the initial buyback announcement and rallied significantly. So what that means is that there is probably more downside for Colombia's debt.
Gautam Jain
Once this occurs, then the prospects for a pandemic increase significantly.
Tony Mazzulli
Our strategic plan calls for Canada to be a world leading alpine racing country by 2010. With significantly increased human, technical and financial resources, the intent is to have all our athletes be the best prepared to race ever at an Olympic Games.
Max Gartner
We were able to significantly decrease the number of at-risk women from being reported to child protective services or from giving birth prematurely through the program.
Deborah Chesky

James Crowe
Since 1990, we've significantly cut toxic emissions and risks in the United States.
Bill Wehrum
China has been looking quite independently to make its regime more flexible. There will be a move to greater flexibility. The dollar is going to come significantly lower against the yuan this year.
Bhanu Baweja
The frequency (of the Y chromosome) was significantly higher in that genealogical group than any other group we tested.
Dan Bradley
We had a strong first quarter with results significantly improved from the previous quarter, reflecting robust demand and continued firm prices across all business units.
John Surma
We saw the data, and to be frank, our performance in August did not meet our operational goals, ... Throughout the summer, we faced significant challenges because of severe weather. In particular, the hurricane impacted our operations significantly.
Todd Bailey
The manufacturing sector continued to contract in October, ... This is the fifth month of decline following 22 consecutive months of growth. While production grew in October, the new orders index declined significantly and signals a continuing softness that could carry into the fourth quarter.
Norbert J. Ore
Emotionally it can be rather significant to see the net value of your company eliminated or cut significantly.
Alan Glickstein
It's significantly more complex because of the number of partners involved. We have a lot of work to do.
Shannon Larocque

Patricia Cook
The acquisition of Golden State marks an important step in our efforts to increase Citigroup's retail distribution franchise in the U.S., and in particular significantly expand the scope and breadth of our services in California and Nevada.
Sanford Weill
Looking forward to 2001, we expect the overall market to grow in excess of 20 percent.

John Roth
The market share for generics, which is already 54 percent [of prescriptions] should increase significantly.
Andrew Forman
Our test scores are going up significantly. Teachers and principals are doing a good job.
Gene Stamm
Our supply constraints also resulted in the company's inability to replenish the channel towards the end of the quarter. Compared to the end of 2004, we ended the year with significantly fewer weeks of inventory in the channel in the U.S.
Patrick Lo
We believe these subjects and patients really learned to control their brain and, through that, their pain...Pain has a huge impact on individual patients, their families and society. I got incredibly jazzed by the results. We could change people's lives. However, significantly more science and testing must be done before this can be considered a treatment for chronic pain.
Sean Mackey
There is a very strong public perception that an unregulated ownership of land, such as housing by foreigners, contributes significantly to the lack of readily available and affordable land for land reform.
Joe Matthews
About 40 percent of luxury goods sales in Hong Kong are to Japanese and Chinese mainland travelers. Those sales are also concentrated around some key national holidays, including the Golden Week annual Japanese holiday, which falls this year from April 29 to May 5, and the Labor Holiday week in China from May 1 to May 9. But sales could reduce significantly from the shortfall of tourists.
Sagra Maceira De Rosen
We're much improved in conditioning. We're working the players really hard, and the fitness level has increased significantly, it really shows up in the doubles.
Rocky Jarvis
Asian consumers, particularly those in China, are viewed as the most important source of industry growth. The demand in Asian countries will go up significantly in coming years, with a burgeoning economy and increasing consumer wealth. Automotive companies recognize the opportunity that awaits.

Sabrina Simmons
The corporate players that pulled their horns in on travel back in 2002 and 2003 are getting back out on the road pretty significantly.

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 are bemused by the length of time it is taking for the partners to announce the go-ahead for this project. Our analysis shows clearly that the economics of less attractive projects in the region are compelling at prices significantly lower than the current spot levels.
Steve Shepherd
The Mountain States region experienced growth significantly higher than the rest of the nation. The region added 53,000 jobs, an annual growth rate of 2.9 percent, in the first half of 2005 but added only 41,000 jobs, an annual growth rate of 2.2 percent, in the second half of the year.
Ernie Goss
With the ski area that much closer ... it could get so much use that it will be ruined. That's a significantly different trail than it was 15 or 20 years ago.
Eric Mamula
It should improve safety and significantly improve mobility.
Erin Phalon
What we're doing for next year, is we're having 10 shows, but in the process, we're going to save significantly on overhead.
Eric Greene
But the magnitude of the cap-ex revision clearly signals not just a recovery but that foundries are beginning to take a significantly larger role in manufacturing.
Eric Gomberg
We're going to make money with this picture. It was designed so that if it (grossed) $20 million or more we would do well. From what we know right now, it's going to go significantly north of that.
Erik Lomis
We found that dispositional optimism was also significantly related to a lower risk of cardiovascular death in women.
Erik Giltay
Consumption of risky foods declined significantly in 2002 compared to 1998. However, in the future there needs to be more targeted outreach to those groups that continue to have high levels of risky food consumption.
Erica Weis
September sales were surprisingly resilient in the face of significantly higher gasoline prices. While this is reassuring, the question remains: 'How long can the consumer maintain the current spending rate given expectations for continued pressure from energy prices?
Emme Kozloff
We are pleased to establish an alliance with one of the top underwriters in the industry, and believe that access to the additional investment opportunities offered through this relationship will significantly benefit our customers.
Ellyn Mccolgan
I think this will significantly change the LDP.
Ellis Krauss
This study supports the idea that at ages 15 and 16, adolescents may benefit significantly from peer support. The Adventure Therapy model embraces positive peer encouragement which is why it's so effective.

Our testing shows a pattern of mercury levels being significantly higher than what the FDA reports.
Eli Saddler

Edward Frongillo
At no time in the past 650,000 years is there evidence for levels of carbon dioxide or methane significantly higher than values just before the Industrial Revolution.
Edward Brook
I'm not trying to create conflict with the council, but everybody has to be looking at that. If that's not the best way to go, we're revisiting the project and revising. Basically, by eliminating another floor, I eliminate one entire level of parking. That reduces the infrastructure costs significantly.
