Pull out the measuring cup and the scale once or twice just for practice. You don't have to do it all the time, but you see what it actually looks like. If you don't want to do that, use some of the visuals just to give you an eyeball, like 3 ounces (of meat) looks like a deck of cards. You don't have to be exact, but you want to have a clue.

Lisa Young

We're looking to scale logs, weigh logs, go step-by-step.

Terry Williamson

So we?re paying teacher salaries on a scale with districts that are much richer than we are, and one of the only ways to make all this better is to increase the value of the property in the community.

Barry Robertson

On the broader scale, we hope this event will contribute to their lifetime learning. It's becoming very important to know a foreign language in this world.

Dr. Tatiana Karmanova

We expect to see a number of operators outsourcing end-to-end network and IT management, particularly those that don't have sufficient scale to match the service investments or the operational efficiencies of larger peers.

Simon Sherrington

The state of our economy is tightly tied to the ability of our citizens to purchase needed fuel, ... Out-of-reach prices threaten Floridians at every level and every income scale, and the people deserve some kind of relief.

Charles Miller

Higher output at a handful of ramp-up projects combined with the start of full scale mining at Two Rivers, should see platinum volumes in 2006 grow by 8 percent year-on-year.

Bruce Alway

The scale of the data in the remote office is enormous and the solutions for doing it are terrible; no one is happy with the way remote office backup is done.

Kris Hagerman

These efforts toward product differentiation could face future legal challenges from the networks. Also, the potential advertising opportunity could take several years to scale, if at all.

Tuna Amobi

He's more of the laid-back type but when it gets to this grand scale and we're on the top in the horse racing world, he gets very excited and very much enjoys it.

Dan Hendricks

We aren't saying much about it [the super-switch], except that it will scale to 100Tbps, ... and it will handle both voice and data.

Dr. Lawrence Roberts

We are aware of the buildup in TSZ. The scale has increased in recent days and this is a matter of concern to us.

Meles Zenawi

It's really quite an eerie sound to hear the Earth ripping apart like that. We hear it on smaller earthquakes quite frequently but something of this scale that goes on for eight minutes is very much unprecedented.

Maya Tolstoy

I would call the scope of this disaster, the scale of mental health problems, unprecedented.

Charles Curie

Social Security is important to the economic survival of African Americans and other people of color. We have traditionally been at the low end of the earning scale over our lifetime.

Hilary Shelton

It's not like working in this area, ... It's going to be on a huge scale.

Michael Goss

Rio wants assets on a world class basis, and the sale is a reflection of the quality and scale of assets it wants. It has a track record of selling assets and getting good prices at the top of the market.

Peter Chilton

Here we can build Hollywood-scale sets on a television budget.

Tom Hooper

It gives us a route to market for our brands that really is stronger than we would be able to develop on our own, even with the addition of the new brands. Scale does matter in this business. It matters in terms of your costs to get to market. But it also matters in terms of how you influence your wholesale and retail partners out in the marketplace.

Tom Flocco

My guess is they're looking to expand to the next level. They've done some very innovative development thus far, and this means they can both improve their infrastructure and prepare to scale to a higher level of membership.

Ron Meiners

What I see when I talk with customers is that they have [racks in] the 6 to 8 KW range. With blade system and scale-out deployments I see 8 KW going to 15 or 20 KW in the next two years.

Paul Perez

Measured on the same scale, the existing drugs have about a five percent effect that lasts three to six months. So that 49 percent compared to five percent would be great if it holds up, and that's a big if.

Mark Tuszynski

This would be a distortion of their meaning, since the pictures are intimate and intense, and are the opposite of what is decorative; and have been painted in a scale of normal living rather than an institutional scale.

Mark Rothko

There were hot pink things and turquoise things and bright orange. The only thing that mattered to us was the gray-scale value, and if you really walked through the set, it looked a little jarring.

Jan Pascale

The rationale for the only recovery plan is to make sure that there is no gap between the end of the relief operation and full-scale reconstruction.

Jan Vandermoortele

It's very normal in a project of this scale to have questions raised.

Margaret Murphy

The scale, viciousness and concentration of the throwing made it obvious that this was a premeditated and coordinated attack.

Iron Maiden

The company has turned a corner. Beginning with this report, Amazon is demonstrating the importance of scale and leverage. We recommend that long-term investors strategically add to positions.

Lise Buyer

If I were to have welded the coils there might have been some big problems. I only rate myself a three, on a scale of one to 10, as far as welding skills. Gene is a nine or 10.

Ted Boice

Since it failed last year, the possibility of this kind of large-scale release is low.

Yang Jun

Kraft is a work in process. They're transforming their portfolio and working on scale issues internationally.

Thomas Russo

The market staged a smart rally in the last few sessions, defying expectations of a correction at higher levels mainly on account of large-scale investments by fund operators.

Deepak Shah

He built this small-scale model of his town out of everything he could find around the house. He was just built to do [engineering].

Joe Micucci

We now have the technology to fish down below 2km, something that has been brought in on a large scale in the North Atlantic in the past 15 years.

Ransom Myers

Salesforce.com is selling an on-demand model that gives customers the ability to roll out a CRM deployment quickly and easily and then scale that deployment either up or down to meet their business needs, ... So far, small and midsize businesses have taken the best advantage of that, but we are starting to see larger companies that are seriously evaluating an on-demand model.

Rob Bois

That's why they have to raise money on such a massive scale. They're researching for 40 different diseases.

Brad Christie

We needed to make sure our colleagues around the globe were fully aware of our business continuity process. Due to the scale and need for rapid deployment and re-usability, e-learning was the obvious delivery option.

Mike Booth

Cambridge probably has two challenges to a large-scale turbine. One is wind. Second is land. As a densely populated place with not a lot of open space, it makes it harder.

Warren Leon

This shake-up of the personal income tax scale would boost incentives for lower-income earners to participate in the workforce. It would be of greatest benefit to low- and middle-income families.

Heather Ridout

The scale between players is so easily tipped, that one call, one point does make a huge difference.

Cliff Drysdale

There has never been a full-scale evacuation at the plant.

Tom Sullivan

When we got within a couple miles to the beach, there was nothing resembling a house; there was only rubble. To see the scale of devastation in person was just unbelievable.

Maggie Winz

But because the victims die gradually from diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, HIV, and from drug and alcohol abuse, the public are generally unaware of the scale of the fatalities.

David Atkins

We were running out of ports at the core and completely out of ports at the edge, we had tape storage hanging off directors and no way to scale, it wasn't a true core/edge philosophy.

Tim Hesson

About 24 million died of war-related causes from 1941 to 1945 in Japanese-occupied Asia, which saw mass killings, mass rape and forced labor on a huge scale. Three million Japanese died and 3.5 million more people died in India through war-related famine.

Seth Mydans

Last year we didn't have any points, so to get on the point scale is a big deal.

Brian Deming

The packaged food manufacturers' ability to raise and maintain prices to offset rising commodity costs will be a key test of the shifting of power to the retailer. Moreover, escalating costs have negatively impacted the small and midsize food companies more than their larger counterparts due to the smaller companies' higher proportion of fixed-costs and limited economies of scale.

Ronald Neysmith

For example, Ireland is extremely competitive in their financial incentives to attract businesses and they have some of the top universities in the world as well. This grant makes Kentucky competitive in attracting businesses on a global scale, which is what is needed if we want to build a knowledge-based economy.

Billy Frey

We're having to scale back on some jobs. We have a finite amount of money. We'll make it go as far as we can.

Randy Ort

We evaluated lions on the same spatial scale that females and males evaluate them, which is from 20 to 30 yards away. The elbows, ribs, back, belly, flanks—those are areas that you only see thick in northern zoos.

Bruce Patterson

It's not trivial. The hard part is building something that people can use and having it scale to millions of people.

David Patterson

We continue to see a rising demand for custom home and large-scale remodeling in Loudoun. We won't be competing with residential developers, however. Our goal is to help existing homeowners improve upon what they already have.

Joe Burke

We want a full-scale hate-crime investigation.

Hilary Shelton

The current administration is not one to announce large-scale troop reductions.

Patrick Cronin

Getting larger really does matter. Scale helps because it helps drive greater discounts. The more enrollees you have, the better off you are in terms of costs.

Les Funtleyder

It is a great match and our ongoing business plan is to focus on a solid, high-quality asset base with a tremendous prospect inventory that includes large scale resource plays and multi-zone high impact exploitation opportunities in Canada and internationally.

Bradley Johnson

The reimbursement would be based on a sliding scale depending on the quantity and quality of the data provided.

Donald Fisher

As far as a financial clean-up operation, this is going to be the biggest one we've undertaken. Even though it's significantly larger in scale, though, it's nothing we haven't done with our previous acquisitions.

Hamish Brewer

It is the first time that Chinese TV stations participate in the production of ITVR signals for the Olympic Games on such a large scale.

Jiang Xiaoyu

Over the last two years, BPM has come of age. Companies, as part of their SOA strategy, are starting to do BPM on an enterprise scale.

John Lauck

We have a tool in place to develop the product of the future. It could enable us, in the very far future, to be able to build computer devices on an atomic scale.

Andreas Heinrich

He wanted to avoid a full-scale food fight. He wanted to make certain that she was not open to strong opposition from the left.

Robert Mcclure

You see a reduction in the complication of the menu. Things get simpler, but we're still talking on a pretty grand scale.

Maggie Lidz

I'm not dogmatic; the claims may not ultimately be wrong. But on the time scale that's going to matter, it's very difficult to come close to achieving the objectives that have been set.

Richard Lester

It was huge. It was a lot of fun. My husband said, 'We could do this on a smaller scale.

Janet Schichnes

It's a matter of national security. Not only do we have to contemplate other natural events that could be of a similar scale of Katrina, but we also have to think of other manmade events.

Dan Bartlett

I want you to think bigger. We provide services at too small a scale.

Nick Perna

Our concern is that human industrialization could be a trigger for extreme climate changes on a global scale in the future.

Brian Cumming

It's a new sign that M&A is taking off on a grand scale. This is a powerful motor for stocks.

Christophe Donay

I would say 10 years ago, we were at the bottom of the scale. We've gone up to the middle of the pack. Now we are way better than states like Texas, Florida and Louisiana that have a lot worse catastrophes than we do.

Mark Kulda

Most humans feel the transcendent temptation, the emotional drive to festoon the universe with large-scale meaning.

Paul Kurtz

If you rated the Broadway and Harrison intersection on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being perfect and 1 being a disaster, it's probably less than 1.

Frank Salbego

Therefore the Vilar Floral Hall will revert to being known as the Floral Hall. We will cease to use Mr. Vilars name on printed material and programs, and the signage in the public areas will be altered over the next few months in no particular order or time-scale.

Tony Hall

In principle, one authority such as EASA is desirable. But this only delivers benefits if the national authorities scale back their activities, and provided that everybody is clear on who is doing what. In that respect there is still some work to be done.

Anthony Concil

We carry on tranquil and mature discussions on specific issues that always come up as part of any partnership on this scale.

Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva

That's the reason we have large-scale illegal immigration: because we send a clear message that there are no negative consequences to breaking our immigration laws. And if you persevere long enough, you are going to get what you want.

Ira Mehlman

There's going to be advantages of scale and if you can't compete on that, you're going to get left out of some areas, ... You could see some of these smaller guys get muscled out of some of the markets and actually lose market share.

Richard Watson

The scale guiding wind speeds wasn't in tune with reality.

Joe Schaefer

This is about positional adjustments so the salary scale is competitive.

Superintendent Donna Morelle

I believe that it is necessary today to join forces to assure continued solid growth and to take our place as an oil major of the first rank at a time when the industry is restructuring on a global scale.

Thierry Desmarest

This is really an economy-of-scale question. This is a niche market.

Michael Sylvester

What is astounding is the scale of it all, ... Remember it is a very young garden . . . the great thing will be to see how it unfolds and develops.

Roy Strong

We need U.S. energy companies that have the scale and financial strength to make investments, undertake the risk and develop the new technologies.

Rex Tillerson

We've no intention of participating in a trial by a vendor hoping for large-scale uptake of their product.

Warwick Ponder

The scale is 1 inch equals 2,000 feet, or about 21/2 inches per mile. The maps don't show underwater depth contours because they change so much due to the heavy current.

Clint Land

Since the first audition in Chicago, I haven't gotten on the scale, but I do know that I've lost a considerable amount of weight since then -- about 30 pounds. I exercise, eat healthy and try not to let food dictate my life.

Mandisa Hundley

To operate successfully in this business, you need to be big; you need to have scale. The European market has many smaller IT service providers that will need to grow in size or hook up with a larger partner to survive. We will be looking at acquisition opportunities in key markets.

Lothar Pauly

It's large by even HO scale.

Linda Klein

It's just the way the large-scale atmospheric patterns have set up.

Michelle Mainelli

We do not believe that the scale of this award will remain intact, and the appeal prospects appear good.

Martin Feldman

There is no cache of cards lying around. It's the economies of scale more than anything.

Renita Hosler

Provoking political violence on a wider scale.

Wayne Bvudzijena

You can't love a crowd the same way you can love a person. And a crowd can't love you the way a single person can love you. Intimacy doesn't scale. Not really. Intimacy is a one-on-one phenomenon.

Hugh Macleod

The industry really wasn't ready for a system of our scale at that point.

Terri Kouba

GOES satellites help our forecasters to see both the big picture and small-scale storm features.

Jack Kelly

If you do see some changes, there could be some operating efficiencies and economies of scale that flow through to the consumer via lower prices. But I do believe that they're going to operate the way that these companies have operated. They have very strong stores to begin with?so the consumer shouldn't see too much change at the beginning.

Patrick Schumann

Eventually, you get to the point that the paradigm involved in this won't work. You've got to do something different. The addition of leap seconds is going to be an increasing nuisance for people who are counting on a time scale where a minute actually contains 60 seconds.

Dennis Mccarthy

Asia has more than twice as many severely deprived children as sub-Saharan Africa. This scale of child poverty will have a serious impact on Asia's future prospects, unless it is addressed now.

Michael Diamond

In some century to come, when the school children will whistle popular tunes in quarter-tones-when the diatonic scale will be as obsolete as the pentatonic is now-perhaps then these borderland experiences may be both easily expressed and readily recognized.

Charles Ives

Any M&A on this scale is good news for the market. Consolidation is needed in the telecoms industry and premiums increase investor sentiment.

Robert Sellar

I've seen a lot of bad weather, a lot of wrecks, a lot of killing. On a scale of one to 10, this is a 10.

Dr Jim Robertson

They were exact scale models. If they got approved, you could get a patent for it.

Joseph Shapiro

It's fair to say the benefits of scale are pretty much unproven. Selected acquisitions are fine if you can demonstrate that you add value, but I hope the days of people putting flags on maps are behind us.

Mark James

I'm fine. I'm doing really good. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'm probably about an 8.

Dic Youngs

This is way up there on the unseemly scale.

Frank Clemente

The scale of urban development that has taken place in Melbourne in the last five years is extraordinary.

Leigh Harry

They have a strategy that targets every conceivable private opportunity in the world. What they're doing has never been done before on this scale. They are the pioneers.

David Snow

The cleanliness is essential to conducting nano-scale research.

George Adams

I was a little more comfortable with the defense and what the guys are doing. On a scale of one to 10 I'd say it was an eight.

Demarcus Ware

As far as full-scale [mosquito] problems, we haven't had any because of the dry weather.

Dennis Moore

It will be difficult for any competitor to match [eBay's] scale.

Jill Frankle

One of the lessons we learned four years ago was the need for a regional approach to addressing large-scale disasters.

Nicholas Scoppetta

We're showing the romance of travel at a different scale -- not at the level of a whole building, but as a series of experiences on the inside, on a scale that doesn't try and compete with the Saarinen building.

David Rockwell

Though they campaigned under different platforms, they had some very similar ideas. One of Griffin's main objectives is to create an annual large-scale RHA event - Meg has wanted to do that as well.

Adam Wiszowaty

We are pleased to announce the partnership with Hetero Drugs as the latest step in our scale-up efforts to meet the needs of governments in preparing for the potential public health threat posed by avian influenza.

David Reddy

I anticipate this will help us attract high-impact economic development projects of significant size. The establishment of the port, we thought, was important at this time. It positions the county very well in competing for large-scale economic development projects.

Tim Boland

We're seeing change at a pace and scale we've never seen before.

David Haight

But on an even greater scale and with even more dramatic consequences.

Gennady Zyuganov

There's nothing worse than to be watching your calories and exercising, but the scale just doesn't budge, ... You just feel like, 'My efforts are for naught.' That's when people tend to give up.

Thomas Wadden

The scale of the man to whom we are bidding farewell today in no way corresponds to the paltry scale of today's authorities.

Garry Kasparov

If full-scale civil war erupts -- and Iraq appears to be awfully close to that at this point -- even 134,000 troops could be in a highly vulnerable position, especially when you consider how many true combat troops we have there.

Ted Carpenter

Engaging in religious bigotry on a wholesale scale is not helpful to the Air Force. So there must be something else in the balance that they feel is worth clutching.

Melinda Morton

The good news is that we can make a very positive difference in ecosystem services by 2050. The caveat is those policies and practices are not widespread at the present time, and substantial changes in policies and practices would have to be made in order to implement the beneficial ones at the global scale.

Stephen Carpenter

Heroic in scale and impact, the Super Chief was what concepts should be all about: 'blue sky' thinking combined with an unmistakable foundation in reality. Take a long look at that front end, pickup fans, because that's what the next generation of the F-150 is going to look like.

Peter Delorenzo

I think that (packed byline) is an increasing trend when you get real large-scale issues like this. No one person knows how to put it all together.

Terry Chapin

We are pleased to have the space, bandwidth, and power to meet the increasing demand for The Planet's offerings. The additional data center space will allow The Planet to offer our customers the ability to scale with us as their businesses grow.

Steve Wallace

It's going to be an uphill battle. They don't have a brand name or much economies of scale.

Koichi Hariya

We can continue providing these services on a much larger scale with a well-rounded, seasoned management team, and grow together into the next decade.

Dave Mccarthy

On a scale of 1 to 10, I was a 12.

Andrea Mitchell

We see the pace of initial public offerings in 2006 remaining unchanged from 2005 with a continuing emphasis on companies with proven business models, top-line and bottom-line growth and scale.

Walter Kortschak

The correction has been triggered by large-scale selling by foreign institutional investors in sectors like metal and fast moving consumer goods. The weakness in the global market has also added to the pressure.

Deepak Shah

We can see that the scale of change and the pace of change is now in another group of 15 to 25 countries, which are in the process of trying to reach the level of the modern industrial democracies.

Robert Pearson

China's economic development strategy is changing and the government wants quality growth so it has to control investment in some areas. But the scale of China's investment is so big that we aren't going to see a dramatic slowdown overnight.

Paul Tang

It breaks up the size a bit and puts a more residential scale to the building.

Hellyn Riggins

The size might seem overwhelming at first, but that site cries out for mass because that's what it was when Bethlehem Steel was there ? massive. It's exactly the scale that site needs.

Tony Hanna

In our view, Pfizer is in fact defensive and has demonstrated that it can weather the blows in a measured fashion due to its dramatic scale advantage and strong balance sheet.

Barbara Ryan

None of us have enough engineers to do what we need to do. You get scale on the engineering level by doing alliances and you get scale on the costs.

Jim Olson

The trend toward consolidation is being driven by globalization, with mergers giving companies from all industries sufficient scale and a lower cost structure to enable them to compete in a global arena.

James Mulva

While large banks need to cut network and work forces to enhance efficiency, small city commercial banks may need to expand to increase economy of scale.

May Yan

When Northwest merged with Flowing Wells, they promised an economy of scale that would lead to bigger and better service. But the first thing they did was raise taxes. They are a political organization with a lot of ambition. They want to get bigger.

Mary Schuh

The incredible growth of China, India and other Asian economies has dramatically changed the scale and the scope of global trade. They are importing Canadian bulk commodities and exporting finished retail goods back to North America.

Robert Ritchie

The state of the world today demands that women become less modest and dream/plan/act/risk on a larger scale.

Charlotte Bunch

All the Time Warner companies have enough scale to compete on a global level. Warner Brothers gets half its revenue from overseas.

Frank Biondi

The stocks that have been successful are the ones that have reached a very large scale which is to say critical mass basically.

James Preissler

Given the normal cynicism of Pakistanis, something like this has never happened. I think the scale of the disaster is something that has touched everyone to the core.

Najam Sethi

We are bringing a best-in-class solution to our customers, ... With this release, we believe that security concerns will no longer be a barrier to large-scale deployments of enterprise applications on mobile devices.

Jeff Warner

We need the money now or we will be forced to scale down food deliveries. So far, we have been operating on reserves, and borrowing ... and the pipeline is drying up.

Jan Vandemoortele

The problem in China is about 50-60 percent of the poultry is operated on small-scale farms in the backyard, which provides the ideal life for the virus to jump between different species of poultry.

Dr. Noureddin Mona

There are economies of scale you can enjoy as an owner when you have a large portfolio of assets as Blackstone has now. At some point you may see Blackstone doing an IPO of the portfolio.

Robert Lafleur

They didn't actually think it was going to be achievable, because they were so frightened by the vast scale and stark austerity of the apartment.

William Diamond

Such an event would provide valuable experience and enable us to collect data that would help us do this on a larger scale, possibly next year. I would like to try and see if we can get it done this summer and then go for the bigger event next summer.

Gregg Dancho

What we'd like to do is coordinate it so that the state and the counties are on the same page and that we're providing the same message to anyone ? whether they're a private landowner or large-scale developer.

Chris Conger

With some of these works, you can sense just by looking at the piece that the artist is accustomed to working on a huge scale. It's a challenge for them to work in a manner they're not accustomed to.

Tom Klobe

The New York gains are nice, but a rebound of this scale is not enough to turn the bearish trend around.

Kunihiro Hatae

That was pretty high on the Richter scale ? I'd say it's a nine as far as how it impacted the draft. It definitely affects what the top teams are doing. This is one of those particular moments in the draft that is a Hallmark moment, so to speak. It rearranges things pretty strongly.

Mike Detillier

It's of a scale that not many people have done.

Richard Meier

With the increased scale of the combined company, we can reduce overall product costs and provide more innovative products at more competitive prices.

Bill Watkins

The level of anxiety for this game is off the scale.

Troy Smith

I am certainly not optimistic in the next five years. In 10 years I think we're going to get to see quite a few (fuel-cell vehicles), but probably not before 20 years in terms of a really big- scale application.

Robert Boehm

Mergers offer a faster way of achieving our longtime goal of an economy of scale, which is very important [in making profits].

Barry Lam

I think the contest demonstrates that games can not only be entertaining, but beneficial to society on a grander scale. The public often sees press on all the negative aspects of games. This is a fight, in a way, for better games.

Jean Miller

Our supply chain is geared up to meet the need of 30 million Canadians, and we don't have the scale of operation to be able to respond to the likely demand of the U.S..

Jeff Poston

This is definitely an austere show. The weight and scale come across, which are the crux of his work.

Michele Quinn

[We're] not really able to comment on this investigation, other than to confirm that we are aware of the situation. It looks like this is going to be a fairly large-scale investigation.

Karen Ernst

There is no recommended scale for penalties for off-field misconduct.

Tony Dempsey

The transaction reflects our disciplined strategy of investing capital in core businesses where we can leverage scale and expertise for competitive advantage. In addition to being a great strategic fit, the deal is compelling financially.

Jamie Dimon

Finding that small RNAs comprise a potent set of regulatory molecules in diverse organisms is among the most important discoveries in the past 10 years. This research is pioneering in its ability to characterize these important regulatory molecules on a genome-wide scale.

John West

This year our goal is to raise our competitiveness, to raise the quality of our operations rather than our overall scale and sales volume.

Li Dongsheng

Mitsubishi UFJ is aware it lacks investment-banking scale and is trying hard to grow, ... If this doesn't meet expectations, I would not be surprised if they decided to go down the acquisition trail.

Robert Mckillop

We're now seeing the first large-scale, environmentally related displacement of people in 70 years, ... And if we're not careful some of the social consequences may be similar to the last one.

James Gregory

Given the numbers we're trying to reach and the scale of the commodities we are trying to move, we need a functioning road network and trucks on the road 24 hours a day.

Robert Holden

Syria is looking for more time. It is promising cooperation on a broad scale but has launched diplomatic contacts to try to slow things down.

Joshua Landis

But I ultimately wanted to go back to what I enjoy doing most, which is advising clients on a broad scale.

Hamid Biglari

I'm not at all frightened, ... We are big enough now -- we now have the scale from this merger to compete.

Tom Mckillop

What is most surprising is the scale of the administration's efforts in selling the deal to Congress. The administration's active lobbying for the deal is quite unprecedented.

Lalit Mansingh

Our objective over the next several years will be to exploit the opportunities presented by our central position in these fast-growing markets, ... The scale of investment will continue to hold back profits.

David Potter

(As currently drafted) the Kyoto Protocol could actually accelerate forest destruction by giving incentives to plant large-scale plantations on formerly native forest land.

Jennifer Morgan

You can't operate an application that's mission-critical without the full runtime environment that gives you reliable, highly available and scale applications with all the things you've come to expect -- load balancing and fail-over support and management tools.

Mike Gilpin

We will probably hire about 3,500 people globally, one- third of that in the U.S.. As we grow we continue to scale our business model to make sure we better serve our clients.

Bill Mcdermott

In information technology, there's much more aggression of scale.

Sid Khanna

The fact that they don't charge commission based on a percentage scale does not, in our view, enable them to operate outside the act.

Howard Morley

I am not that concerned that innovation in some large scale sense will suddenly and abruptly shift from one part of the world to another.

Craig Mundie

His work is recognizable, if you're a fan. They're large-scale, with both silk-screened and hand-done elements.

David Russick

Sharks have home ranges that are at the scale of ocean basins.

Barbara Block

Eventually we will need to partner with a company for large-scale production of vaccine.

Dr Andrea Gambotto

If all we did was say we'll raise the grading scale that would've been a silly thing to do, but in conjunction with other efforts to help them be successful, this is a wise move on our part.

Bill Edwards

Methane is only around for a short time geologically. The time scale is somewhere between 10 and 100 million years.

Gabriel Tobie

It's the only directory-based system that can offer security and scalability on a global scale.

Steve Adams

We are a leadership brand. We don't copy anyone. The magnitude and scale of what we are doing is why we made our decision.

Ann Lewnes

Similar problems are faced in every household, but this is on a much larger scale.

John Armato

There will be very few companies who have that scale to build that infrastructure.

Ray Ozzie

IBM offers us the best capacity and the best growth path, enabling our company to grow as fast as we need to. We can now offer our services to mid-sized animation firms who are, in turn, looking to scale quickly. And we can do this after only a few days and a phone call to IBM. IBM's ability to offer computing power on demand is critical to our business.

Ruben Perez

This is a full-scale assault on middle-class homeowners, and we need even at this early moment to indicate to the president that we'll bear any burden to defend against it. We ought to take a look at the lavish [tax] giveaways we give to huge corporate interests.

Steve Israel

Virtually all of the rating changes at the higher end of the rating scale have been accompanied by one or both of these factors.

Michael Kaplan

It's to scale - it's a proper football field. We have played footy on it, but there was no record kept of points.

Justin Hill

We gave them some points, but on a scale of one to 10 we played a nine.

Tim Donovan

Scale is important to get the right ratio of research and development over sales.

Frans Van Houten
