It's really frustrating. The school is incredible. He's the only principal in the district to keep up this exemplary status, and I think the proof is in the pudding.

Andy Walker

We're offering domestic light beer drinkers the option to 'trade up' to an easy-to-drink product that carries the image and cache of Heineken's premium brand status.

Jerry Dubrowski

We're not sure what their status is.

Patrick Rainey

The Republicans are more consistently concerned about the land use planning system and encroachment on property rights. The Democrats very much defend the status quo. This will be an issue I will carry to the November election.

Mark Rozell

This has been seen with other diseases besides asthma, although not usually as an effect over and above personal economic status.

Paul Blanc

People who demand neutrality in any situation are usually not neutral but in favor of the status quo.

We are enthusiastic about the potential of having a very accurate, simple test in the home to increase testing and awareness in people about their HIV status. But we are seeking broad input from our panel and the public on the benefits and any risks.

Chris Chiames

The parent just needs to provide evidence that their spouse is deployed. We do not ask for their financial status.

Ryan Horn

Like James Dean, a death of someone so young gave cult status. He was known as the fittest man alive.

The west Franklin transmission line status is still under construction and still on schedule.

Gil Francis

It has been agreed that the status quo is the preferred option and the Australian Open will therefore remain in its traditional date in 2007, as opposed to the week later as previously proposed.

Geoff Pollard

We're going to take into account the status of the relief and rescue efforts in Louisiana and the entire Gulf Coast and apply league policies and precedents in as much of an extent as possible. NFL teams play their games outside their home stadiums either in another NFL city or in a city in their home territory. There is no precedent for playing any games in a non-NFL city.

Joe Browne

The only reason we need another men's magazine is because it has Vogue attached. That is the status [publication] of the most powerful fashion brands worldwide.

From where I sit, this looks like the status quo.

Mary Cochran

This is the hardest decision I have made in my life and it feels like a part of me has died, ... If given a choice, I would prefer to receive some form of non-judicial punishment, return to flight status, and continue to use all of the training I have received to benefit the Air Force in my country.

Pat Gallagher

He's in the Dominican. I don't know what his status is exactly. We've talked. He's interested. He says he's in shape. Who knows what kind of travel situations and everything else might be involved.

Andrei Illarionov

In 1942, Ted Williams' draft status was 1A, meaning he was going to be among the first people to go to war. Williams stated that he would enlist after the 1942 season was completed and he ended up missing five seasons between (his combined service in) World War II and (later in) the Korean War. If he hadn't missed that much time away from the game, who knows how many home runs he could have hit?

Brett Beal

We're on an imprudent, unsustainable fiscal path, ... The status quo is not an option and we're not going to grow our way out of this problem and the sooner we get started the better.

David Walker

Bottom line, it's a status issue. They want people to look at their wheels.

Alan Bush

Their safe haven status would no longer be required. However, industrial inputs, as opposed to stores of wealth, would not suffer as much. And equity markets would benefit from an unwinding of oil prices because the cost implications of existing high oil prices for earnings potential are horrific.

Tony Twine

The [mariner's] civilian status is deceptive. It doesn't show the life-endangering work they did during that conflict.

Joe Banner

My father never took me to a restaurant, we didn't have the social status or the money.

Carme Ruscalleda

The consciousness of people whose natural bent is to support the president and the military and the status quo is shifting. If America ever rises up, Camp Casey is what it will look like--not an anarchist street party.

Starhawk

What we're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. Last year, college presidents made it clear to the Ontario government that at least $150 million in additional funding was required for the current year — just to stop the steady decline in quality. Yet colleges received $50 million less than required just to maintain the status quo, never mind making improvements.

Giving a voice to people who have been isolated, or have been invisible and silent, allowing them to speak out regardless of their economic status, their gender, or where they live.

Paul Fussell

This second victory is a confirmation of my new status as a car driver.

Stephane Peterhansel

I think Portia's election definitely changes the status quo because it's never been done before, and changing the status quo in Jamaica is a good and positive thing.

For many years, Japanese companies and politicians seemed to be in denial -- maintaining the status quo, trying to deny that a real crisis existed and praying for an economic turnaround to bail them out.

Michael Goodson

Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman ''other'' or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.

Terry Eagleton

I would hope (the new GM) would take a look at the job Charlie did. We have a pretty good manager. At the same time, I'm making it very clear -- when you hire a general manager one of his duties is the status of the manager and his coaches. At the same time, we have an incumbent manager who has performed well.

David Montgomery

The more status they have, the more they can get away with it.

Peter Jaffe

The status quo is not acceptable.
