What these kids have done over the last six days was special. Everyone was nervous because we all knew what was at stake. But I think our seniors really stepped up, and (goalie) Matt (McCarthy) made some big saves for us when we needed them. I am proud of the kids' effort (last night), and I am excited about going to the playoffs with this team.

Our strategy is to continue increasing our stake in the real estate market.

Victor Hsu

I was deeply impressed when I visited Peru and looked at his supporters. I'm determined to stake my life protecting him.

Irving Weissman

We showed them newspaper cuttings to illustrate the reaction back home and they appreciated what was at stake.

I have long felt that it is readers and viewers of conservative media who could benefit from a more balanced discussion of what is at stake in our policy and the actions of our government.

Joe Wilson

The seniors know and realize what is at stake. And for the underclassmen, it may be their best shot as well.

Kevin Raylman

We are delighted to have increased our ownership stake in the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus. This transaction is firmly in line with our strategy to acquire and consolidate the minority stakes in hotels that we already own.

Sarmad Zok

What [the players] say and what the owners say, you have to discount, ... Both sides are trying to stake out some leverage and bargaining position.

Kevin Murphy

There's a lot at stake for the Winter Olympics now.

Roland Rust

This isn't the big one. They have made a statement that they won't sell the [Royal Bank] stake, so you have to ask what they are going to do with it.

David Liston

Most housing has been destroyed in the hardest-hit areas, so the survival of thousands of young children is now at stake.

Leelee Sobieski

We have created our new packaging to make a stronger connection with our cherry flavor and to stake out our claim as the original cherry-flavored soda.

Mark Ritchie

The Steinbeck Tournament (in Salinas April 15) was big for us. It seemed like we started to click. I think the girls knew what was at stake if we didn't fare well.

Greg Sims

The biggest benefit (is)?that a competition allows people to ask questions about recycling without any hang-ups. They have a stake in it, they have ownership in it, so they are going to inform themselves about it.

Wenran Jiang

The international market sees the advance of Chavez as very negative. It is very clear that the shares in which foreigners had a high stake fell because they came out and sold due to fear of Chavez.

Dan K. Webb

It was really about wanting to, at some core level, stake our right to participate in this great historic tradition.

Colleen Gillespie

When defense lawyers are murdered, the rule of law is doubly at stake. Human rights law requires that all murders be investigated in a credible manner. Moreover, defense attorneys are critical to a fair trial, and their systematic assassination threatens the entire process.

Philip Alston

Public access is now a hot political issue. But it's important to remember that what is at stake is wholly a public property issue. Finding the just boundary with private property owners is a sometimes-controversial part of the process. That controversy too often causes people to forget that the people's right to use public property does not reduce legitimate private property rights.

Ron Moody

These speeches are an appeal to the American public. He wants to show that China's development is peaceful, that China is a responsible stake-holder.

There were four teams who didn't even make this tournament. We wanted to make a difference. We knew it wouldn't be easy, but we believed we could win. There was a lot at stake here.

Mallorie Winn

We think the case is a strong one, ... What is at stake is the future health of so many of our children.

David Kessler

Rajeev Gupta

Our focus as management is on liquidating (our Amadeus stake) ... and giving that back to shareholders.

Gordon Bethune

It's important for Americans to collaborate more than they have been, ... It's unfortunate that everyone has put a stake in the ground that outsourcing is totally bad or totally good. No one's looking in the middle.

Robert Dunn

This election is being as closely watched outside the U.S. as it is inside because of the huge foreign policy issues at stake.

Bilal Qayyum

With so much at stake, we cannot afford to be clandestine or irresponsible operators.

Chock Eng Tah

Tony Espinoza

At stake is whether Club for Growth will be able to continue raising and spending millions of dollars in soft money for activities influencing federal elections.

Michael Toner

[Are investors' reactions misguided? Not necessarily, although seeing the logic in the investment requires a dash of late-'90s faith.] Online music is a gold rush, ... It's obvious the gold is in the hills, and everyone's going to rush in to stake their claim.

Phil Leigh

There are only 18 months remaining before we are in action in St Kitts. This is a fantastic opportunity for eight of our most likely lads to stake their claim for attention. But they will need to work hard to make the best of this unprecedented initiative.

Roddy Smith

I know some people are looking at this game as a chance for payback, but I see it as the same as any other game with three points at stake.

Jim Gannon

It's a three-game playoff series. We realize how important each one is, but it's kind of like a domino effect. You get the first one, then you knock the second one down and then you get to the third. We know what's at stake. We just have to concentrate on tonight first.

Mike Ricci

[Judge John Roberts, President George W. Bush's choice for chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court,] will put religion back where it belongs, ... He will drive a stake through that view of American jurisprudence that says that religion and God have no place in public life.

Michael Horowitz

Elizabeth Dole

It seemed from the start we were all looking around, waiting for something to happen instead of initiating, which is what we'd done well previously. It took us too long to get out of it. We all know what's at stake. There is no excuse for coming out the way we did.

Erik Rasmussen

Intel has a lot at stake with this platform and they really need to deliver on it.
