High oil prices and the emergence of a number of new players on the world stage - not just China and India but also Russia and even Iran - have made it possible to play the major powers off against each other.

Klaus Schwab

I remember the first three times I bought tickets to see Brooks and Dunn and had tickets far away from the stage, so it's cool now to get to see them up close.

Cowboy Troy

Beyond that, as this case could finish up before the judiciary panel, I can make no comment at this stage.

Graham Annesley

As people live with them and maybe do some math, and if prices stay at the premium stage, you're just going to see sales slow.

Rebecca Lindland

When I am on a stage, I am the focus of thousands of eyes and it gives me strength. I feel that something, some energy, is flowing from the audience into me. I actually feel stronger because of these waves.

Lynn Fontanne

Once this resolution is passed, a tougher stage will begin and we will see what effect the board of governors' calls on Iran will have.

Melissa Fleming

This is a very innovative, new approach, and it makes perfect sense because the protection order is a critical stage for women and others seeking protection.

Nancy Perry

These sorts of ships are famous for having stability problems. We can't rule out anything at this stage.

David Osler

I made some suggestions as far as musical content and how she should stage it, but I can only go so far. I don't want to change her show. I want her to do what she is comfortable with.

Ron Garrett

The environmental movement has become more sophisticated. It's not just about people protesting and people standing on a stage and yelling anymore. It's about people who are realizing that to be able to effect change, they have to work with their government.

Lorrae Rominger

To me this is not just about standing on stage telling jokes. There's a lot riding on this.

Azhar Usman

If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door.

Paul Beatty

It's like uncorking the world's most carbonated beverage. What happens when a planet gets decompressed by 50 percent is something we don't understand very well at this stage, but it can shift the chemistry and physics all over the place, producing a complexity of materials that could very well account for the heterogeneity we see in meteorites.

Quentin Williams

My father had very strict rules about girlfriends. We just weren't allowed to share the stage. And we had to respect that. We just couldn't do it. It was hard.

Robbie Kaholokula

The world 's a theatre, the earth a stage, Which God and Nature do with actors fill.

Thomas Heywood

I think their nerves got to them. This was a big game with a big stage. We put some pressure on them with butterflies still a factor. I think that helped us a lot.

Brian Watson

The ratings reflect the group's excellent business position, based on high growth rates in its pharmaceuticals division, its global No.1 position as a provider of oncology drugs, well stocked late-stage pipeline, and conservative financial profile.

Olaf Toelke

It's pretty immature to assume that it's going to be inexpensive. The technology is in the development stage.

Doug Mcfarlan

I probably give him more leeway out of the net than those pros had. He shoots the puck better than any of those guys, by far, at this stage of his career.

Grant Standbrook

There hasn't been an undergraduate director for one of the main stage plays for quite some time. It's really an honor to be able to do this.

Richie Call

We know the Beijing Games will be like no other; we have a whole new platform and stage. For much of the population of China, our athletes will be the only representation they have of our society.

Jim Scherr

This is my ninth year as general manager and, when you find players who can perform on the big stage in New York, it makes it that much more important to retain those players.

Brian Cashman

12 minutes is a lot of time for somebody to be bleeding and not getting care. The communication with the paramedics was to stage until law enforcement cleared it.

Greg Shore

We are delighted they have come to a decision so we can move forward to the next stage and focus on science.

Keith Mckeown

Vince Vaughn is very personable. He was just so comfortable on stage improving, inviting students on stage and interacting with the audience.

Laura Stankiewicz

All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.

Sean O'Casey

When something is written for the stage, I think it's wrong to try to make it bigger. Very few things out there make that jump easily.

Beatrice Arthur

Politics, where fat, bald, disagreeable men, unable to be candidates themselves, teach a president how to act on a public stage.

Jimmy Breslin

A publisher should always be on the receiving end. He should take an interest in almost any subject and remain anonymous, letting the author take center stage.

Cass Canfield

There's a great variety in the action on the stage. It needs to be visual as well as aural. You can add greater dimension to a concert.

Jeff Buhrman

When we began thinking about this year's parade and what had happened in New Orleans we realized we were two cities that had experienced trauma. After all the grief New Orleans had, they have not been able to stage their jazz funeral. We realized we could provide the venue.

Jeanne Fleming

I'm very happy to have won another stage at the Giro after just two stages and even happier to have pulled on the pink jersey.

Robbie Mcewen

We're going to hit a lot of weights, do a lot of shooting and play a lot of AAU ball. We're going to be pretty good next year, and I've got a freshman coming in who's better than Julian and J.J. were at this stage.

Satch Sullinger

I am absolutely desperate to win, purely to see Jeremy Clarkson's face as I do a little celebratory conga on stage.

Piers Morgan

I've spent my entire life in the game on different levels, and here was an opportunity on an international stage to represent my country at a time when our basketball program needed an awful lot of work as a result of the World Championships in Indianapolis a few years ago and the Olympics in Athens.

Jerry Colangelo

I'm a fan first, and I don't believe good rock 'n' roll exists unless it's in partnership with the fans. By putting ramps up into the audience and keeping the stage low, it creates such an energy and an interaction with the crowd, it's a sum that's greater than the parts.

Joe Perry

Minister from the stage, like you do.

Al Squitieri

I'm sure we can all say that during our college years we change a great deal, and commencement is a recognition of that. Even the term 'commencement' - it means beginning, and yet we're ending. But it really focuses on how you're beginning a new stage in your life.

Caryn Asleson

There's an enormous inner concentration that's necessary to have the proper bearing on stage and to fill out the simple movements with energy. Even when an actor is standing still on stage, there's still an energy projected from that body. The audience should feel it, all the way through the performance.

Gary Mathews

Joe Baker really set the stage. For Joe to open up the match that way was tremendous.

Bruce Burnett

We are working hard with the aim of reaching an agreement, and we are not thinking about failing, ... We are at the final stage of the negotiations and we are gradually getting close to turning the corner.

Hiroyuki Hosoda

The industry has reached a stage where consolidation is going to be the name of the game over the next 18 months and we want to be there and take it forward.

John Anderson

Under the leadership of President Mahmoud Abbas , the Palestinians are soberly welcoming this important stage in their history. His continued leadership will be needed at a time of rising expectations in Gaza and mounting concern in the West Bank.

Ibrahim Gambari

I am pleased with the effort and commitment and the fact that the youngsters are committed and motivated. They are certainly enjoying the experience. It's a tremendous opportunity for them and for me, to be given a chance to participate in a world venue. I have never been on that stage myself.

Rick Magnante

We're all looking for stage time, and it's great to work with other comics. It's like performing in front of high school buddies.

Nick Cat

I think Al Gore really needs to find his voice, and I think he needs to find his own style. I think, up to this stage, he hasn't found that.

Peter Hart

Falling off buildings is easy. The hard part is being funny on stage.

Jerry Woods

[Help was at hand, however, in the person of McMillan, a Canadian stage star who has acted professionally in Pittsburgh before.] With Richard, we've [landed] on our feet, ... a great comic actor, a great physical actor, and very intelligent.

Thomas Kilroy

The main thing with Paul, because I've played with him for 14 years ... is that the energy that he puts into his show is intense. He doesn't take anything off the stage when he's done. He's left it all on that stage. Paul is the real thing.

Paul Anka

We are ready to form a coalition, and open for dialogue with any [party] represented in the parliament. Public and closed discussions will be held at the second stage, to bring concrete results.

Yevgeniy Kushnarev

The Western blot test, which concentrates the brain sample, can detect mad cow disease in an animal at an earlier stage of infection. It is used in virtually all European countries and Japan.

Michael Hansen

They'd stage boxing tournaments. And get their friends involved. They'd get on side-by-side elevators and race to the top of the building. It was always like that.

Keith Hawk

But there are other roles that people have not seen me do that I have done on the stage.

Jeremy Piven

You're just into it at that point and you're alive on stage and you get away with mischief and good stuff and you know, I don't know many adults who get to do that.

Cathy Rigby

I have to say. I kind of love all that stuff - those physical challenges. I guess there will come a time when I'll get sick of it but at this stage, I just like it all.

Richard Roxburgh

Everybody stepped up and played their roles to a 'T', and Chase did his thing. He came through on the big stage and I'm so happy for him.

Dave Cassaw

My Rabobank team controlled the stage very well today. I was in a good position in the sprint and so I went early, but it was a bit too early and Petacchi beat me.

Oscar Freire

You might as well have put her on a stage eating a plate of spaghetti and put a rope round her chair instead of putting her in a theatre where she wasn't at home and was struggling.

Alan Ayckbourn

I was an alcoholic by the time I was 21, ... There's enough drunks in the audience. The last thing a club needs is a drunk on stage.

Scott Wood

We are committed to marrying text and dance. We have both a full dance piece and a play on the stage at the same time.

Liam Steel

This is like a rocket. We've gotten the first stage accomplished. Now we need the second stage to take us higher.

Don Budinger

But Peter is the real thing - a great actor on stage, on film. He won't go out of style.

Craig Lucas

If we have to shine flashlights at the stage, the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival will take place as scheduled, March 30-April 2, in our beloved French Quarter.

Patricia Brady

You have come to a stage where you almost have to work on yourself. You know, on finding some tranquility with which to respond to these things, because I realize that the biggest risk that many of us run is beginning to get inured to the horrors.

Arundhati Roy

I look at his work and I not only see my stories, but it becomes clear to me that these are stories of the human experience, regardless of ethnicity. It makes the stage so much bigger for me. I think his plays will resonate across time.

Stanley Williams

Our plans for demutualization are at an advanced stage. Before proceeding, the company must assure itself that there are unlikely to be major concerns on the part of the regulator or the independent experts who must report to the courts. To that end, we are engaged in regular, full and open discussions on aspects of the demutualization program.

Standard Life

We're set up like a rock concert. It's a theatrical production. We have a stage, our own lights, it's an amazing sight to see.

Mike Stamper

For over 30 years, Gustavo Cisneros has been at the forefront of Latin America's economic progress and social development. His efforts and the outstanding success of the Cisneros Group, which he oversees, have helped to increase Latin America's profile on the global stage, cultivate new industries, and increase access to information.

Paul Zilk

The Maverick membership will work closely together to find, qualify and invest in early-stage companies relying on leading-edge collaborative software.

John Dilts

We find little in these results to indicate that the group is addressing the dearth of late-stage pipeline products right now and suspect that the risk of opting for quick fixes does not come risk-free.

Jeremy Batstone

We're very honored to present the first stage version of this beautiful musical in 25 years. I can't think of a more exciting way to open the premiere season in our new facility.

Jonathan Fox

We were told to stop because we did not submit our requisition to register to stage such a large-scale, organized activity.

Cui Zi'en

For these two individuals, one of whom knows how to make Governments change but the other knows how to best use his resources for good causes to come together in this way is I hope going to be very special for the both the countries that they will help but it is also very special for Scotland to be recognised in that way on the international stage.

Jack Mcconnell

Having won a state championship already this year helps a lot. They all have a familiarity with the stage and the pressure. A lot of them love the pressure.

Peggy Hosek

It is obvious Gary is going to get stick. He has always got stick from the Liverpool fans and judging by some of the stuff I have been reading, he will do well to get out of there alive. It will be incessant and we expect that, but I hope we don't reach the stage where it starts affecting the referee's performance.

Sir Alex Ferguson

We are seeing the pipeline, or the planning and construction stage for new hotels, at a historic low this year.

Jan Freitag

Today's moves set the stage for a more significant discussion with the UAW regarding cost savings, but have very minimal near-term cash flow impact.

Jonathan Steinmetz

He was a tremendous observer of the idiocies of life and brought them brilliantly to the screen and the stage.

Gabriel Byrne

Do we need to raise taxes at this stage? I don't know. Do we need to do something to make sure they (city employees) have a livable wage? Absolutely.

Dave Watson

If Net art is in the embryonic stage, it's all the more fascinating.

Maxwell L. Anderson

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.

Miranda Richardson

The general feeling here is that the trade deficit does not really come at the U.S. expense. The U.S. makes money at every stage of Chinese production.

Jia Qingguo

They were a lot of fun on stage. They could play off each other and both know a lot about the charity.

Julia Shneyderman

At this stage, Ahtisaari stands out as an obvious choice. The peace process (orchestrated by Ahtisaari) in Indonesia seems to be a real success.

Stein Toennesson

I was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.

Madeleine Albright

That will keep the investment transactions flowing, but not at the flood stage.

Robert Bach

There is marginal room for error and you are working in front of a large crowd. Getting back on stage is something that I have really enjoyed.

Rove Mcmanus

We are still at life-saving stage.

Kevin Kennedy

He did extremely well in training this week, and we have been pleased with his attitude. I am sure he will enter the fray at some stage.

Budge Pountney

At this stage, certainly consumer staple companies have been the big winners.

Bob Turner

We're going to play the No. 1 seed before a packed house on the national stage again. I'm really happy for the program because I'm a fan and love seeing Monmouth basketball all over the place.

Steve Bazaz

I haven't had the best of series, particularly for the standards that I set for myself and a few of the race officials have been ribbing me about not being up on the stage very often.

David Mckenzie

What really matters is whether the other unions at Northwest will support us. And that remains to be seen. At this stage of the game it's pretty standard for everyone to remain silent and see if a strike occurs.

Steve Macfarlane

[Barry Clark is in the top ten in his Subaru but suffered a double puncture on the second stage:] I got two wheels well into a ditch, ... I just took too big a cut and hit something in the grass.

Barry Clark

He's so natural on stage and when I want others to do things I just say 'a description' and they know to look at Marques.

Lisa Cripps

He [Vaughan] is ruled out of this Test, but is not out of the series at this stage. Vaughan is to return home for treatment. It is too early to say whether he will be fit for the remaining two Tests and the one-day series.

Andrew Walpole

There are very important structural changes occurring that will set the stage for important improvements in the world economy. There's a great deal of optimism in the air and a great deal of opportunities.

David Hale

We do on stage things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.

Tom Stoppard

The government took the [manual eradication program] into an incredibly complicated stage in a very abrupt way.

Ricardo Vargas

We certainly are at a place now where we enjoy our independence, but we also enjoy working for Sony. It's a good combination, and we'll see how the next stage plays out and how everything goes.

Brian Fleming

He has helped me organize a lot of the activities we do. He's on the stage a lot and has had a lot of great rolls in the past years.

Caryn Jeffreys

We have a responsibility to ensure that every student is given every opportunity to be prepared for, and to pass, the CASHSEE. We are exploring every possible way to work with these students to provide their passage to the next stage of their future.

Bob Collins

I?ve had the lead and, obviously, I?ve won four times (on the European PGA Tour). It feels like I haven?t been there in a while and certainly to lead by 4 at the halfway stage is a little different.

Justin Rose

This is at the dream stage now. We need to try to stay competitive with other places. It's a quality-of-life issue.

Dick Hill

The fact that The Waterford will have the built-in stage will allow our groups to create their own entertainment concepts that suit the vision of their own events. It's great for Valley Forge and it's great for our customers.

Paul Decker

The level is improving now, ... There used to be thrashings but now they have pre-qualifying games so the standard is higher when you get to this stage.

Faye White

Plays can create empathy. If you put a Muslim character on stage, and make him a full character, you're making it possible for the audience to feel empathy, and a little empathy on both sides would help.

Motti Lerner

This is analogous to what is colloquially known as being punch drunk, ... We believe the microscopic changes in the brain are consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy or a degeneration over time that set the stage for the final result. The meningitis was not bacterial or viral or the kind you see in college dorms or army barracks.

Cyril Wecht

Where do you stage? Where do you go? You have to have communications, you have to have electricity, you have to have dry ground. These are all things that have to exist, and these are all things that don't exist in New Orleans.

James Carafano

The screenplay is not much different than the script for the touring stage play. I helped the film director to cast the roles and I made some script changes during the filming. As it turned out, the actors who performed the touring stage play in Albuquerque were also cast in the movie.

Robert Benjamin

I really don't want to win right now. I want to sing more on stage.

Ashley Hubbard

We want to just tell the community what stage we are in this process.

Charles Coggins

I told the general I don't know if I should accept this -- it's just too much power, ... At this stage of my life, it's almost too much to think about what it could lead to.

Jim Nabors

We believe we are setting the stage for further progress in 2006.

Steve Burd

It's going to be much harder for the Fed to talk rates down after what's gone on lately. At this stage it's really going to require action rather than talk.

Mike Cloherty

At this stage of my career, to have a whole new array of experiences, to play in new stadiums and new teams to play against, is just one more thing in the résumé.

Kasey Keller

From our perspective, he's done a yeoman's job of bringing a very attractive and a very acceptable and large number of people each week. The thing about George that distinguishes him from almost every other star we work with is that he has literally been involved with every single stage of development and execution of the series.

Peter Roth

It's going to give me the luxury of not going to the first stage. It's going to change a lot, but I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing.

Dr. Michael Harris

Because of the sensitivity of the timing and the critical stage we are going through, it is very important for this force to remain committed, ... Any premature withdrawal will send the wrong message.

Hoshiyar Zebari

It's not my time anymore. You have to move on at some stage.

Peter Hughes

We used to be invited on stage with our father's band to sing that song when we were children.

Henry Garza

He plays for a team where the fielding isn't up to the mark. The team may not support him well enough at the moment. Now, that he has the chance he needs to adapt himself to the big stage and I'd like to see how he approaches the game.

Madan Lal

There is more drama off stage than on. I don't think this was right for Oleg at this time.

Trevor Green

After I got my first laugh on stage, I was hooked.

Matthew Perry

It's fun, fruitful and exciting because it's still very new. We're still in the honeymoon stage. We'll see what's ahead for us.

Janel Takasaki

We're still in the information-gathering stage.

Phil Lewis

We've gotten to the stage where we're able to talk to each other and communicate. It's important to be on the same page.

Ryan Bishop

Everyone goes through a stage where they want to leave home, ... Let the young people leave the community, but then hit them with incentives to return when they're ready to settle down.

Rebecca Ryan

Police are concerned for their safety and wellbeing. At this stage they're all in the country legitimately.

Mike Hooper

I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.

Charlie Chaplin

[By early evening, a sprawling crowd assembled to hear Palau preach before the stage was commandeered by a hip-hop gospel ensemble and a rock group playing Christian music.] We're ecstatic about the turnout, ... This is what a festival is like.

Luis Palau

At this stage in this particular investigation it would be highly unlikely for a new grand jury to receive any new information that had not already been considered at length by Ken Starr, the United States Congress and the prior grand jury.

John Douglass

We've heard the rumors, but it would be irresponsible to reply to those rumors at this stage.

Anthimos Thomopoulos

I don't think there are any huge opportunities going forward. At this stage of the game, there's too much uncertainty.

Todd Mitchell

That boom of yesterday is echoed in today's boom. The players on the stage of the bay area have changed from generation to generation, but they're in the same play. They're telling the same stories.

Devin Marks

We try and do something aesthetically different every time. It seems fitting for us to be on stage in costume.

Grayson White

I am not sure they are ready for that at this stage of their transformation. I would like them to say they are going to focus on the food and liquor business.

Grant Saligari

Things appear -- at least for the short term -- that the stage is set for gas prices to increase even more.

Randy Bly

The president said he thought that he needed to begin a new stage and the logical consequence of this was that I had to tender my resignation, which I did immediately.

Roberto Lavagna

It's got to catch up to you at some stage. How long can you keep taking that pressure?

Pat Rafter

Today's stage was difficult with the number of bikes and cars running closely together. I kept my distance to stay out of the dust and avoid hitting a rock or a big hole in the track.

Stephane Peterhansel

It's the Newton all over again. It's what we dreaded: a letdown. Microsoft runs the risk of putting so much into it that it doesn't do anything well. It is the next-stage PDA, and who knows if there is a true consumer market for this.

Peter Gorham

Internally, we have got a strategy for all of our products of how we deliver value to customers via the cloud. Stage two is how we monetise that value. If we are number one on delivering that value and delivering customer satisfaction, that is a good definition of winning.

Martin Taylor

[The only way actors could breathe on the sound stage was through an air regulator.] You couldn't get out, ... because the camera crew was literally bolted in. You can't get out; you can't go up or down. It really brought home the visceral feeling of what those men were willing to put themselves through.

Armand Assante

The number of people from different continents who are going to arrive in the Caribbean in 2007 produces a challenge for law enforcement and community safety. We want to do our best to help and learn from that process so that when we reach to that stage in 2012, we will have an understanding of that.

Sir Ian Blair

At this stage as we look forward, I wouldn't say nothing is resolved. But it's not nearly as clear as some people would like it to be.

Bill Lunch

We've got three guys that practice there and are dead even, but when you get out there on center stage, you've got to perform.

Daryl Patton

It seats 1,100 and the stage itself is almost big enough by itself to fit the whole orchestra on. We are very excited about it. It has multi-media capabilities with screens on either side of the stage.

Ceo M. Wade Kelley

President Clinton is one of the dominant figures on the global stage. He has lived an extraordinary life, and he has a great story to tell.

Sonny Mehta

What we have to do is demonstrate to people that this is an achievable goal, ... There are people all over the country and all over the world who want to be a part of an effort like this. There's a broad stage for possibilities here. That's really what we're trying to tap into.

Robert Hemenway

The stock market is heavily into overbought territory and a correction at this stage would be good for the overall health of the bourses. A correction at this level will give long-term investors to consolidate their gains before taking up fresh positions in the days ahead. Retail investors should adopt a cautious approach in the days ahead.

Deepak Shah

We looked at the option of implementing Email Management System ourselves - the benefits vs. the costs - and it made a lot more sense to me at that stage to outsource.

Kaj Pedersen

We're still in the stage where different business models and technological approaches are being tested out.

Will Richmond

This stage was terrible driving for me.

Mikko Hirvonen

This [mining sector reform] must be executed in a manner that is beneficial to mining companies as well as government, particularly at this delicate stage where we want to be perceived as willing to be part and parcel of the global community.

Dennis Nikisi

Tom has always enjoyed finding new ways to connect with the fans and we're both excited to be sharing the movie with them on this incredible stage.

Paula Wagner

At this stage, Beau is looking at what else is around. If there is a better offer we'll look at it.

Shane Casley

What we've done (in Detroit) is created a movie set so it gives movie-goers a chance to enter a space that feels like a sound stage and in fact, is very sound-stage-like in how it's set up, ... But the set that you're entering into is a collage of both existing and historical Detroit buildings.

David Rockwell

Boomers will do aging on their own terms. At every stage in their lives, boomers have done it differently from their parents' generation. They won't be retiring so much as they'll be reinventing themselves.

Matt Thornhill

They're probably at that stage now where they're playing that caliber of football. We're going to have our hands full.

John Castelamare

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

Celia Cruz

[Also,] I'm doing a lot of good stage dives, ... I've been getting a lot of good air, landing halfway into the crowd and getting passed around. But I've got to take off my necklace because I got choked one night by someone grabbing my necklace from behind. That was kind of irritating. But the audience gets so loud and there's so much energy when I do that, so it's a good way to end the show.

Nick Hexum

No, we almost never improvise on stage. We're not clever enough for improvisation. We'd just mess it up.

Kjartan Sveinsson

All his plays take place in a kind of eternal present tense. He never relies on exposition. He never believes that the past is verifiable. Nothing exists until the actors step out on the stage.

Carey Perloff

We had some rains about a month ago. We were at the real serious stage where our crops were dying. They weren't just stressed, they were dying.

Bob Bowman

We haven't seen a proposal at this stage either and until we see something in writing from somebody, there is no offer.

Shane Richardson

Originally my father was a medical student. He suddenly gave up his studies and walked out to become an actor. I thought perhaps I ought to make a decision like that, too, and so I decided to plump for being a film actress. I have not given up the stage, but I am concentrating on the screen until I reach the top.

Glynis Johns

I won today because all the hills during the stage made it a hard day's racing and so the other sprinters were tired.

Oscar Freire

This is money that has never been Bank of America's money. The best estimate at this stage is that it's around $100-million over a five-year period.

Robert Martinez

The Board is committed to act quickly and decisively to select the right CEO to lead the company into its next stage of growth and development.

Keith Krach

The payment is based on the stage of the corn. You don't get much for young corn plants.

Ann Holt

The technology is in a very early stage in general, so it may in the future provide breakthroughs but in the short-term it is certainly going to take time.

Denise Anderson

We have reached the stage of an ultimatum - either the ICC or the Zimbabwe government has to step in.

Clive Field

The targeting of China's embassy is not an accident, is not a collateral damage. This is one accepted harm, one accepted crime, by those who have decided to stage total war against Yugoslavia.

Vladislav Jovanovic

The (fast-breed reactor) program is at a prototype stage and not ready for inclusion in a list of India's civilian nuclear reactors.

Anil Kakodkar

Designing for sustainability requires a dedication to evaluating a product's long-term effects and lowering the environmental impact at every stage of a product's life-from materials extraction to end-of-use.

Allan Smith

They got a running back who ran for 400 or more yards against Silver Stage. We are wondering how we are going to contain him. It's going to be a huge challenge.

Dennis Young

It's not ideal when you're in the heart of your season. You don't want to be playing once a week at this stage of the season.

Joe Given

I always loved the stage, ... I did my first play my senior year. I got the lead role for Dracula.

Jerry Prince

No seat is more than eight seats from the stage.

George Austin

The one thing that came back to me was how lucky I was to be standing there on that stage and it's all because of the benevolence of others and the great gifts and traits they helped me with and instructed me with all through my life. I could not be there without the coaches, the mentors, without the teammates I was able to play with all those years.

Dan Hampton

This band thinks they're Van Halen on stage. These kids are serious. It's so amazing.

Mark Maxwell

That's the way we always stage, it wasn't too much different, a little bit, maybe.

Brian Hough

We only started making homes broadband-enabled 12 months ago and we've come a long way, very quietly, since then, adding around 1,000 customers per month at this stage. Looking ahead to the end of the year, we expect to have 160,000 homes enabled for broadband and to keep our penetration rate above 10 percent.

Graham Sutherland

It looks like manufacturing is still under pressure. We're getting to a stage of a two-speed economy where the manufacturing sector needs lower interest rates but the consumption side doesn't.

Chris Hart

It's a real shame, ... I think we're in a period where theater has gotten intimidated by the power of TV and film. So a lot of people in theater try to do what TV and film do, instead of that particular kind of image and language that can only be done on stage.

Heather Mcdonald

We have to rely on what we've done in the past. To do fresh things at this stage would only confuse rather than enhance.

Joe Lydon

Sometimes its worth it just to hire someone for the initial planning stage. They can help you find things and steer you in the direction of the best vendors.

Patty Sachs

He'll be considered in the 18-man squad at this stage.

Tim Sheens

At this stage I think we have a very good chance of reaching the finals.

Vin Blaine

It's a chance for the governor to get back into the game at this late stage and put his stamp on what was produced by the General Assembly.

Joe Gershtenson

At this stage, battery-powered electrics aren't there yet.

Jim Kliesch

It's very early stages, it's idea-creation stage.

Roger Burrows

It makes all the sense in the world to move ahead and take it to the stage where we're ready for clinical trials. This is the next generation.

Frank Maguire

There's a multitude of things happening on stage. It's OK not so see everything. People should treat it like a landscape. Every moment you focus, and you take in what you take in. It's a very enjoyable graphic dance that explores questions more than answers. It's a beautiful evening.

Bjorn G. Amelan

All of us have been together like four years. We've been through thick and thin together. We've played a lot of big games in a lot of big places. We've got seven seniors and this possibly could be our last game on the biggest stage in college basketball. We're going to go out and we're going to play as hard as possible. I really do believe we can get it done.

Jermaine Wallace

Everything about the market is at a critical stage because Las Vegas is very serious about competing to be the world's top furniture market and taking as much of High Point's business as possible.

Keith Koenig

At some stage, I think Iran will use its oil as a weapon to negotiate with the U.N. and the U.S., which would push up the market -- although they are unlikely to stop exports altogether because they need the money.

Tetsu Emori

For my part, I confess I seldom listen to the players: one has so much to do, in looking about and finding out one's acquaintance, that, really, one has no time to mind the stage. One merely comes to meet one's friends, and show that one's alive.

Fanny Burney

We want to give men and women in the department equal opportunities to appear on stage. With 'Julius Caesar' and 'The Rainmaker,' those are great opportunities for men, and we selected the others for the female actors on campus.
