This number will be invaluable when talking to local community groups and applying for grants.

Carleen Courtney

We denounced terrorism and suicide bombing before 9/11 and after, on a national level and on a local level. Some people will try to find anything to attack our group.

Basim Elkarra

It's 99 percent local.

Victor Lopez

If you don't have anything for a girl you are recruiting to look at (it can be difficult). I can start looking at some more local girls now and hopefully intrigue them into coming here.

Tony Campbell

We didn't know about the glasses, but we saw how much they were needed. We hope to get some local donations together for next year.

Rachel Taylor

The actions of local officials affect us. Our own quality of life is determined on a local level.

Pat Hunter

This is a law that did not get spelled out very clearly, so it's been very, very difficult to implement. There was so little directive in the initiative itself, it has put a lot pressure on agencies and local governments to have to interpret it.

Teresa Schilling

Pretty much as long as the official authorities at the state or local level agree or, let's say now, don't disagree, it automatically happens.

Roger Payne

Local districts can ignore this entirely.

Sue Gamble

Affordable housing, it's a hot issue this year, it's high demand. We're pushing our own local people out of our state because we can't afford to live here.

Helen Wai

We are beginning the investigation and we look at all aspects. And we are doing it in cooperation with local law enforcement.

Patti Roberts

Looking at local news down there, it's hard to know what's going on.

The scenario was bad with Nasdaq, local politics and Argentina...but the market held up well.

I imagine that local authorities will start using it either later this year or early next.

Make the most of your money. Use your local talent and try to have something for everyone's taste.

Mary Ellen Mark

They have a special tank where they can create ice to your local conditions.

Dean Clark

It's the state and local distribution plans that will define victory.

Alex Azar

It's basically an express lane that will take them so they can bypass some of the local traffic signals.

Todd Sloan

I talk to Kenny Wallace and drivers that are local. I call them and ask for direction. Am I doing this right? What should we be doing? They're really nice.

Mike Adler

Chesterfield, 1, Chester, 1. Another score draw in that local derby.

Des Lynam

John Hart

When I'm at home I hardly ever bother with alcohol and I play a lot of tennis at my local club.

Rod Argent

This is the first race of the year. It's a good opportunity for local riders.

Some agencies do a more vigorous job than others of reporting it, but that's really up to local policy.

Jon Peck

We're also hoping to get involved with Boys and Girl's Country and SIRE (a local therapeutic riding program).

Valerie Cranford

It is important for central and local government to hold discussions for the good of the country, taking into account the interests of local residents.

Yomiuri Shimbun

If that's a byproduct, we're happy about it, but Ralph would have been our candidate regardless. This is more about Ralph's abilities. But when you have someone who has local knowledge, it fits more with our focus on guest experience.

Brian O'hare

We're disappointed. We feel strongly that local communities should have control over their future.

Chad Carlton

People want to come to a local landmark, ... They want to be comfortable.

Martin Klein

Operating in one community doesn't lend itself to a big TV buy. You get a broad reach, but it's cluttered. The challenge is breaking through...intercepting consumers where they shop or are entertained communicates that we are a local company investing to give them more TV and broadband choice.

Chris Mckay

We believe that local people know their local customers.

Jeff Noddle

The appreciation of the U.S. dollar will help inflate Asian exporters' overseas sales when converted back to their local currencies.

Barro Liao

It took cutting through a lot of red tape to get the permission to build from the local authorities. There was no land available for building the village.

Mark Little

Most local firms have no choice but to cook their books, otherwise they'll go out of business. As a general rule, you can't trust their financial figures.

Russell Brown

It's so much more complicated than everyone's making it out to be. The federal response has been quite coordinated. It's how it interfaces with the state and local.

When language (in the agreement) requires local labor, we want to make sure our guys have the opportunity.

David Gonzales

Local folks told us they hadn't seen fire on that mountain in 50 years.

Alan Etter

We are very lucky to find such a local talent.

Anthony Veliz

We already arrested five of them, ... They aren't evacuees. They're local idiots.

Todd Hunter

Mike Gowrylow

It's another example of how local control has been eroded.

Betty Gray

We are hearing from some providers that local authorities may be making the process of getting franchises unreasonably difficult.

Kevin Martin

The pizza is really good. They get it from a local place. It comes in a sack.

Andy Pfeifer

At each of the livestock barns, we will be doing upgrading. Local livestock auctions provide a service to the community, and we want to have them in top condition.

Gib Rodgers

This is not helping local entrepreneurs to get a place in the economy, and we need to facilitate small operators. After all the effort of 'Go East', with all these new fees you are going to go under, not go east.

Kenrick Webster

We're left out of the loop because we're actually a public corporation, not a local government. You have to go through a regional district or a city to apply.

Susan Roth

We added these dates to give more local people the opportunity to speak to us face to face. Public consultation is about us listening to the local community.

Stephen Baxter

The local tests show he was positive for bird flu .

Hariadi Wibisono

Local school districts are doing what they can, and some have gotten very creative in finding non-education funding for these cleanup projects. But they can't fix the whole fleet without the state's help.

Betin Santos

I think it's a wonderful contribution to local history.

Bill Doyle

Because when he came to the team no one knew who he was, and then when the season began he started tearing the cover off of the ball. He's becoming a local legend.

The area is rich in local history.

Marian Schneider

We commissioned more than one local lab specialized in GM food testing, to examine the products.

Tracy Till

They turned the investigation over to the local drug force.

Sol Summerlin

A Chilean subscriber in Detroit would see a local ad, not an ad for a supermarket in Santiago.

I take her around to the local lakes and watering holes. She gets right in.

Sarah Jamieson

We are excited to have the opportunity to host such a great event. It gives us a chance to show off our city. It will good for local businesses as well.

Chris Wunrow

In some instances local IEC offices were not aware of this and did not accept the submission.

Pansy Tlakula

Our philosophy is to make history come alive. The use of a vaudeville show allows students to connect with local history through the hook of entertainment.

Some of our local athletes turned in some strong performances, and it was good to see them recognized for their effort.

Sen. Paul Mckinley

We?re not going to sell information about your oil level to the local oil change guy.

Chet Huber

What's been done here, we'll just be following up and let the local folks have some well-earned rest. Until you get a fire line all the way around it, containment's kind of a nebulous term.

Bill Sweet

It's important we support the troops, especially the local troops.

Tom Stone

With a lot of athletes, it's a local market. Barry Bonds is successful in the Bay Area, but beyond there, everyone hates him.

The law says that corporate contributions to local campaigns are illegal in Texas. The law makes such contributions a felony.

Ronnie Earle

The meeting will provide a platform for the delegates to share knowledge and exchange ideas about issues in local government.

Nthatisi Modingoane

Local public health agencies are the front line in all of this. Preparedness, at its heart, is a local phenomenon.

Dr. Julie Gerberding

That's not true of ethical agencies. Any ethical agency will check what brought an individual into debt and perhaps refer that person to a bankruptcy lawyer or to a local bar association.

Joel Greenberg

We are not cranky or eccentric, we have a legitimate claim and we want a voice in local issues.

David Ball

Ultimately, all development is local, but to be most effective, each local organization must cooperate with its regional partners.

Phil Hardwick

It is really difficult for Wal-Mart to go into a new country and just build from the ground up. They're doing it in China. But if you look at anywhere else they have gone into, they have always partnered with a local company of some sort.

Patricia Edwards

I favor giving localities more ability to make the transportation, land-use connection than they are doing right now, My inclination is to try to help local governments.

Jim Scott

Though local issues will be at the fore, national issues like the overall economy and foreign policy will also be factors.

This will lower the cost of capital and the investment hurdle rate, make SA more attractive for foreign direct investment, and support foreign portfolio investment in (local) equities.

Jac Laubscher

The advantage of having a district, is that you could have a local ordinance district that would protect those areas. Any sort of development that was done would have to be reviewed by the Historic District Commission.

Johnny Christ

A weaker local currency and lower oil ease concern about earnings at exporters.

Choi Chang Hoon

The next step is to get on a local registry if they are eligible.

Barb Peryam

The local church is the hope of the world, and its future rests primarily in the hands of its leaders.

Bill Hybels

David Mcfadden

We really appreciate the support of the state and local governments. We know they're committed to building a competitive business environment in the state of Utah.

Anita Tauber

We let them know about the information they can get from social service agencies and local chapters of the National Association of Geriatric Care Managers.

Debra Seefeld

Cameroon's current oil revenue does not enter the local economy. Oil revenues go abroad to the overseas accounts of the elite.

Karina Horta

I thought that everybody would be blaming FEMA, the federal government. But there is a significant amount of blame to place on state and local government. That is probably going to increase as time goes on.

Neil Newhouse

Nancy Thompson

We wanted to keep it local.

Billy Carter

Mike Welch

We hope to have a big crowd. It is a great way to have fun and support your local library.

With just us local guys doing the show, we were able to keep it free for the public. If we would have had other artists on the bill, then we would have had to pay them to be here.

Buddy Howard

If it is not for the local church stepping up to the plate, it is not going to get done.

Robert Sharp

I get about 99 miles to the gallon. When gasoline costs $3 a gallon, driving most gasoline cars costs 8 to 20 cents a mile. With a plug-in hybrid, your local travel and commuting can go down to 2 to 4 cents a mile.

We will not deport you. We will go after the person who did the crime.

Andy Lee

It costs us a little bit (to bring them in). But it's worth it. The future is, we'll have one or two teams out of state, but we'll never turn our back on the local teams.

Doug Mcarthur

I don't believe in going into another country with a European design. We eat local food and live and interact with the local people.

The skiers would come in here and it'd be really busy. Now it's just local customers and no tourists.

There's no longer just one restaurant. We're trying to blend local flavor of the area with some franchise food.

Brad Livingston

The business strategy is if we can get a critical mass of very local content and a local audience, then we can target ads better than we ever could down to a town level.

Jeff Jarvis

It's a big problem. No one is quite sure how it's going to be attacked. They do eat a lot of local wildlife.

We are working to see local history be more visible.

Sarah Vanlanduyt

Buy local, grow your own food because there is little we can do to change the price of oil.

Paul Quesnel

Greg Schnacke

A new wave of millions of Afghans will overwhelm hospitality, (we must) insure that we have local and federal governments on board.

The secret of our success is that we are not a clone of the U.S. edition. We let the local publisher and editor interpret the brand with a local voice.

George Green

A feature film typically 25 to 35 percent of its budget behind in a local economy. Millions of dollars can end up being left in the local economy, which is a wonderful thing, of course.

Mary Nelson

People at local shows like the hard-core sound and screaming.

Dave Keller

It is up to each district attorney to determine how to distribute the money to police. It is not mandatory that the DAs share with local police, but most of them do share because of the involvement of the local police in the drug investigations.

Do not blame the local groups for B&B productions mishap.

Local people, we tend to avoid anything unpleasant.

Craig Inouye

Amy Kemp

But now everybody has local, regional and national acts.

We are investigating the matter and will cooperate with local Jordanian officials on the attacks.
