In ten other states now we have bans pending, including Missouri. We're here to say no.

Paula Gianino

I'm glad the weather has changed today. It has been the most challenging disasters we have ever dealt with, not just in this region, but in the whole United States.

Gary Jones

Right now the goal of the Saudis, Kuwaitis and the other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council is to see prices fall. They are very sensitive to the position of the U.S. and the rest of the industrial world. The moderate states want to see prices between $50 and $55 a barrel.

Antonio Szabo

We came here to win states. This win is great, but it's over. We've got to focus on our opponent and do the same thing we did today: just play our game.

Michael Coburn

Has gone way beyond anything that the United States said it would tolerate.

Senator Patrick Leahy

Oil is affecting inflation; it is slowly creeping up in the United States and we're seeing rising producer prices.

Raghuram Rajan

They use any excuses to arrest people and use them as bargaining chips in dealing with foreign countries such as the United States.

Jin Zhong

Not only is cruising the fastest growing sector in the travel industry, but the British market is the second largest in the world after the United States.

Sean Tipton

If you win the mythical recruiting title, it shows you're focused, you've got momentum and that you're a very appealing program. It's a burden that every single coach in the United States would like to wear, whether they admit it or not.

Allen Wallace

I would assume every coach's ultimate goal is to get a guy to states. I've been fortunate to have a lot of great guys with talent.

Brandon Macnaught

He also agreed not to work in the emergency medical field in Pennsylvania forever. We also notified surrounding states.

Richard Mcgarvey

I think it's a life changing experience. You can meet someone from around the United States and learn what they go -- they're going through.

Colleen Flynn

As a neighbor and trade partner, we are happy to provide assistance to the United States at the time of the disaster.

Bernardo Alvarez

Everyone knew it was biologically questionable to shift all the recovery to federal land. The state's never done its share, and now we're really in a panic mode. ... It's not just about the owl. It's about broken promises.

Peter Goldman

It's quirky and yet there are very real people in it. The beauty of it is, yes, it's Maine, but it could be any small town in the United States.

Anita Stewart

The death penalty, I think, is a terrible scar on American justice, especially the concept of equal justice under law, but also of due process. And it goes state by state, and it's different in different states.

Burke Marshall

For overall value creation, the place for most value is created in deep water, and the United States (Gulf) deep water was far and away the best place for value creation.

Alan Murray

He'd sooner rather have his nails pulled out than sit in the United States Senate with 99 others guys who think they should be president.

Geoffrey Becker

The union of two women and two men can never consummate a marriage. It's physically impossible. We can't get around that. You can be a family, absolutely. You can be loving, and I respect that absolutely. But you're not married. The other 49 states are right and we are wrong.

Phil Travis

For a company, the reality is that we have a lot of options. But my personal worry is that an educated, innovative science and engineering work force is vital to the economy. If that slips, it is going to hurt the United States in the long run.

William Banholzer

Americans are benevolently ignorant about Canada, while Canadians are malevolently well informed about the United States.

J. Bartlett Brebner

We're pleased. It was a good meet to get us ready for the states next week.

Frank Barbuto

The Coast Guard is very concerned about the safety of people at sea, and we also have the role of enforcing United States law.

Ron Labrec

You can't start talking about space until you set an overall policy. Our space relationship gets to a basic question of whether the United States tries to contain an emerging China or engage it.

John Logsdon

But for out-of-state customers buying direct, we could offer California prices to offset those costs, and offer products not available in all states.

Phil Bilodeau

There's a lot of pressure because of the concern there might be another terrorist strike in the United States.

Carl W. Tobias

He will be one of the key players because the United States is the largest contributor and a great power in the Security Council, ... There are conflicting views on nearly every issue that is on our plate for the reform, and the largest player in the U.N., of course, plays a key role.

Gunter Pleuger

Winning the district is the first step toward the states. I'm wrestling as hard as I can. When I do that, I'm letting everything fly.

Mike Grey

What happens in the states too often is that when the ethics commission oversees the Legislature, and the Legislature gets mad at them, they cut their budget.

Peggy Kerns

Everyday in the United States, around 160,000 kids stay at home from school because of things that were said to them the day before from students and teachers alike.

Bill Bond

I'm the boater in the family so we would go boating and fishing together. He was always an active man. He did travel for business to all 50 states. He was always traveling.

Gail Gallagher

Germany had a balancing function not only in European politics but in the European Union, between Britain and France, between Western Europe and Eastern Europe, and between Europe and the United States.

Katinka Barysch

There are a number of communities in the United States that have raised their hands and said, 'We are ready for a franchise,' including Los Angeles. The league will first look out for its interests within the United States.

Geraldine Gonzalez

It's obviously troubling for the United States because if violators are allowed to stay on, and it's not a permanent body, then the human rights soap box is not a soap box at all.

Richard Grenell

C&W could be a nice fit, because it would provide Internet protocol assets in the United States, it has sorted out its Asian exposure, and it is cheap relative to other similar companies.

Jonathan Shantry

It is not interested in public policy and answers to the state's multitude of problems, financial, social, educational or otherwise. It is interested in winning, principle be damned.

Jim Panyard

It is time that President Bush undertakes a radical review of the proper position on climate change and the consequences of the energy policy of the United States.

Roberto Della Seta

That means we have reached the people of the United States. What we need to do now is reach the administration. The people are there, and they understand how important this area is. It's just the priorities of the administration are somewhere else.

Henry Willis

Citizens of the United States expect their government to be there in times of disaster and they were not there.

Jane Bullock

When he was in the United States Senate, he was noted as an intellectual powerhouse.

Alan Cropsey

Mandates do not solve, but only exacerbate the problem. Mandates will seriously impact the state's ability to compete economically with other states.

Bill Vernon

It's an organized, orchestrated invasion, economic invasion of the United States.

Robert Vasquez

It's clear now that states are the key to the future of medical research.

Mark Michaud

I sent him word I was a captain in the United States Army and I intend to remain one.

John Buford

The president of these United States engaged in ceremony in the rotunda, but he stopped short of sacrament when he missed an opportunity to name somebody to the courts with the spirit of Rosa Parks, with diversity and minority rights.

Joseph Lowery

Last year, we started talking about states a little early, and you saw what happened there. None of us really say anything about it. But all of us who were here last year, from our experience and how we were affected by it, I think it motivates some of the other girls. It definitely motivates us.

Sarah Boyd

Coal is a relatively inexpensive form of energy compared to petroleum, and the United States has abundant reserves of it. There is benefit to converting coal to liquid fuels.

Bob Mccormick

The law clearly states that you have to go through contract review to get a contract approved and she didn't do it.

Rep Alvin Holmes

Mr Johnson should remember that I am not just anyone and that he is only president of the United States by the grace of my son's action.

Marguerite Oswald

The concerns of the United States are the same as the Haitians.

Gerard Latortue

In my view, if the father is in the United States and prepared to take custody, and the relatives decline to give him custody, there is no basis whatsoever in law, morality or general convention for them to deny the father access to his son.

Gregory Craig

When I left India 25 years ago, everybody was headed to the United States. But now they all want to get on the plane home.

Ajay Kela

Russians can give you arms but only the United States can give you a solution.

Anwar Sadat

This has come to the stage it has, basically because of the hard work and cooperation of the Walsh County states attorney's office and Sharon Martens.

Bruce Burkett

The buildings are basically intact for all practical purpose. The site needs some work, but this is the identifying site of the state's worst coal mining disaster and that needs to be preserved.

Bob Rea

We are going to keep doing it until the equity of it appeals to a president of the United States.

James Brosnahan

This essentially turned out to be a private family matter, ... We'll have a conversation with the state's attorney, but I can't think of anything they would be charged with.

Brian Miller

In other states, they're passionate; they're not embarrassed by their agricultural roots.

Frank Muir

We look forward to knowing the results of that investigation. The United States has every intention of living up to the letter of our recent agreement in regard to beef imports into Japan and we will work closely with the appropriate authorities here in Japan and in the United States to ensure there is no repetition of this mistake.

Michael Boyle

Here in the United States, our profession is much maligned, people simply don't trust or like journalists anymore and that's sad.

Christiane Amanpour

We didn't even know she was in the United States. That made it the best Christmas ever.

Betty French

Different states have different attitudes on this.

Gale Norton

We had a department in place to handle questions and concerns from doctors, but we didn't have anything for patients. We don't typically talk about results with patients. In most states, we're not even allowed to discuss medical results with patients.

Gary Samuels

There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America.

Otto von Bismarck

In the long run, we think this legislation would be good for the state's tourism industry.

Harry Curtis

The Budget proposal would be good for consumers, but States would lose revenues. All the State Finance Ministers who attended today's meeting demanded 100 per cent compensation from the Centre for loss of revenues from this move. I think it is only fair that they be fully compensated.

Dr Asim Dasgupta

Her eldest is a member of the United States Congress, who has the privilege of standing before you and addressing this convention.

James Rogan

The reality that no one can change is that China is becoming more important for the United States.

Jing Huang

The criminal justice system is accurately symbolized by a large sculpture that sits at the foot of the United States attorney's building: four metal circles that interlock. The wheels of justice, as it were, frozen in legal and social gridlock.

Jonathan Larsen

More and more same-sex couples are having children, and we in society can't pretend they aren't. In states like Florida, you are a legal stranger to the child you brought into this world and helped raise. That is a horrible public policy that harms children.

Karen Doering

Only half the people in the United States vote, but it is still a vigorous democracy.

Jorge Buendia

The idea of leasing federal waters off the coast of Virginia comes in response to discussion in the state's legislature about the potential of energy development off its coast. However, no offshore development will occur off Virginia unless the state's congressional delegation works to lift the moratorium.

Johnnie Burton

Especially with what's happened on the federal level right now, it means now the abortion issue is back in the states.

Pam Sutherland

We had 450 volunteers and 236 dentists from 38 states.

Barbara Rollins

The continuing decline in the rate of cancer deaths once again affirms the progress we have made against cancer, ... But the report also highlights the need for an acceleration of research as the population of the United States ages.

National Institute

In states that Kerry had to be competitive in, he was less competitive because gay marriage was on the ballot — starting with Ohio.

Tony Quinn

States have no friends, they only have interests.

Abdoulaye Wade

After the United States created more than 2 million jobs in 2005, economists are predicting 2 million more will be added in 2006. Faced with increased competition for talent with specialized skills, companies are planning to shorten the hiring cycle, offer better compensation packages and implement more flexible work arrangements in the coming year.

Matt Ferguson

This is a place of humanity for sure. You people have a vision. It is nothing like what the United States government would want me to believe.

Russell Anderson

The pharmaceutical industry has done an enormous amount of lobbying of politicians in the states and the federal government. That's why it's such an amazing example in Nevada.

Andy Troszok

If we knew there was a Russian family around, we'd try to get together, especially around holidays. Although the former Soviet states are now separate, we still feel ties together with the people of Russia or Ukraine or Belarus or Serbia. We were brought up with this culture and religion. Especially here in the U.S., it's important to keep our religion and heritage.

Alexander Yakovlev

I now bear a kind of stigmata. I am in the computer as having been denied entry to the United States and that is really bad news. They can put things into that computer, but they never take them out.

Ian Mcewan

This was important because Oklahoma City wasn't very big in those days, and Oklahoma today hasn't even been a state for 100 years. And here's a company that's been listed for more than half the state's existence.

Bob Rader

Had Calhoun been advised by me, he would have been the most popular man in the United States.

Duff Green

Going to the Acolyte Festival was another way for us to participate in the global Episcopal community. We got to share the adventure with other churches in our diocese, but it also gave us the opportunity to be part of something much bigger and to enrich our young acolytes with the Episcopal culture from other American states.

Jim Morgan

New York has always been a weird hometown for us. It was kind of the first place in the United States outside of Austin [Texas] where we really were embraced.

Julie Doyle

I don't think a lot of people know that. When I tell my friends they can't believe it. My taxes are 2 inches thick. I have to file in all these different states.

Brian Meadows

It is very reassuring to know that we can rely upon our friends in the entertainment industry to assist us in our mission of keeping kids in school. The dropout issue has become a large problem in the United States and these leaders are helping make a difference in children's lives.

Bill Milliken

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

With this proposed appropriation falling significantly short of the funds requested to support a tuition freeze by Penn State at 20 of its undergraduate campuses, that idea will need to be abandoned. The tuition freeze proposal was approved by Penn State's Board of Trustees during their September, 2005, meeting, dependent on a 9.5 percent increase in state appropriation.

Bill Mahon

Compared to the United States, ... there is no clear message from the CDU about an individualist, market-oriented economic policy. The program is piecemeal. It's not a vision. It's a sort of muddling through. These are programs that may help give some economic benefits, but it's definitely not something that you could call a conclusive economic program.

Thomas Straubhaar

This ruling, if it stands, threatens to undermine and erode our power as states to hold accountable out-of-state polluters who foul our air, ... Carbon dioxide pollution endangers public health and the environment, just as other harmful emissions. These companies must be held accountable and forced to clean up.

Richard Blumenthal

Beyond repressive states, political instability drives many threats to press freedom in Africa.

Julia Crawford

The United States should be on the board, but there's no rule. The chips fall where they may when you have these elections. It's just a confluence of events that come together. Sometimes you can't beat it. I was disappointed. I let down the U.S. by not being able to keep a place on there.

Jim Easton

Special places in other states are proposed to be sold so Oregon can get its pork.

Andy Stahl

Some of the battleground states, particularly those with other high-profile elections -- Florida, Michigan, Missouri and Washington -- may have higher turnout. But since about 33 states and the District of Columbia were not targeted by the campaigns, it is likely that turnout will fall in most of those states.

Curtis Gans

The potential consolidation between the two towns in Orleans County may be the state's first step back to the future. This is the only way we can beat the economic death spiral gripping us all.

Kevin Gaughan

We are on the cusp of really creating a homespun wine culture in the United States.

David Sloane

The security of the United States, which is so dependent on having accurate and timely intelligence, is not a Republican or a Democratic issue.

Saxby Chambliss

Everyone was cheering after we won the OIA, but later on I told our team that's only half the battle. It's all about winning states now.

Beau Albrechtson

We're excited to be launching a poker game that features simultaneous play with a PC and a mobile phone. It's gives players some great options. We are legally compliant with the United States Department of Justice. We don't accept U.S. bets.

Mark Jensen

Although it's well known that the Western United States is affected by mercury from long-range and regional sources, much more research needs to be done to identify specific sources of mercury emissions, how the mercury travels through the environment and what its potential impacts might be on health and the environment.

Leo Drozdoff

They're a clean local manufacturer that sells their product outside the local economy and, in fact, outside the United States, which helps the whole balance of trade.

Ted Astolfi

We (Connecticut residents) are still better off than the average person in the United States. Our cost of living is higher here but our incomes our even higher.

Nicholas Perna

This has been a lost decade and a half for Japanese semiconductor companies. Japan has been caught between the United States and Asia, and this middle ground keeps shrinking.

Yoshiharu Izumi

This delay does not reflect any change in the department's commitment to active management in general or predator control in particular. This delay will not cause an interruption of any kind in the state's ongoing predator control programs.

Matt Robus

Some good things are happening even in abysmal states.

Ken Duckworth

The Columbia Basin is not an island; we're part of a much larger economy, and our economy is in trouble on a national basis and a state basis. That's the largest trade deficit in history, and 30 percent of that is from Chinese goods coming into the United States.

Bill Riley

There are only two United States senators who have a truly national constituency. One's name is Ted Kennedy and one's name is John McCain.

Ken Duberstein

We're looking forward to states, which are coming up in a couple of weeks. We're trying to get as many people as possible to get times to qualify for championships.

Sara Myers

She's not looking for the spotlight and she's extremely low-key. I legitimately have to remind her just how good she is. I have to remind her that she belongs with the state's best. None of this has gone to her head, that's for sure.

Matt Hogan

If you were selling antiques in the Bay area, now your market is not just consumers (there), but in the entire United States.

Margaret Whitman

We went through a lengthy selection process ... narrowing it down to Florida and New Mexico. Both states provided us their best and final bid and they both offered very attractive opportunities.

Peter Diamandis

Key West still has the largest wooden historic district in the United States, bar none.

Joe Pais

For our anniversary, I had a certificate drawn up that states I can never leave Angelina for eternity. It has the seal of the great state of Louisiana on it. I signed it in my own blood with a paintbrush.

Billy Bob Thornton

If it is approved, it will only raise more obstacles for clean and unconditional trade between Cuba and the United States. The problem is not whether we can buy medicines from the United States, but the onerous conditions they impose for purchases.

Aymee Hernandez

These projects will both help reduce reactive organic gas emissions from the state's growing dairy industry, and also help expand [liquid natural gas] fuel supplies in the state which are currently supply-constrained.

Randy Hull

The apparent increase in gambling among youth is staggering. All of the West Coast states and Idaho and Nevada have set the age at 21 and only two of our Indian casinos allow people under age 21 to gamble.

Jennifer Mccausland

It takes a high level of training and commitment skills to represent the Red Cross outside of the United States.

Gayle Falkenthal

The Mexican legislation that governs foreigners is much more discriminatory than the United States.

Sergio Sarmiento

There is no merit to their allegation. The state's chief technology officer looked very closely at the ACS proposal and determined that there were no problems with the system.

Renee Montgomery

Previous research has shown that every spring there are massive dust storms in Asia that transport soil eastward to Japan and across the Pacific to the United States. Now we've found that sulfate and organic aerosols are also present, and in roughly the same amounts.

Thomas Cahill

The only condition that we did not accept was that we would have no access to detainees and I am very confident that since we accepted the invitation in the spirit of compromise, the United States will compromise.

Manfred Nowak

We are grateful that people throughout the United States are so willing to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Cindy Davis

Recall also that the Iranian parliament also voted to kick out IAEA inspectors in the event of referral of Iran to the Security Council. Perhaps that is now to be the next step for the regime in its reckless pursuit of direct confrontation with Europe and the United States and its defiance of the international community at large.

Paul Leventhal

We have thousands of kids, Hispanic kids, who are at the doorstop of arguably the most extraordinary mountain recreation terrain in the United States and never participate.

Roberto Moreno

We don't want to be in the creation mode, and would rather find off-the-shelf solutions used by other states. The goal is to avoid showing up on the front page of some newspaper after you've made an embarrassing mistake.

Teri Takai

Of the twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them collapsed when they reached the moral state the United States is in now.

Arnold Toynbee

The United States and Turkey are in total agreement.

Cemil Cicek

Ruckus would go public in the United States first, but Hong Kong's fund market is equally attractive to us.

Selina Lo

As recently as 2003 . . . the Supreme Court of the United States said it is not unconstitutional to apply community standards.

Daniel Weiss

People in high-tech industry have to have the ability to change their manufacturing processes overnight in order to compete with people in China, India and other states. This regulation potentially could hold them up for as much as six months or a year. That is a disaster for them.

Roger Ferland

This transaction, which would be subject to approval by our public minority shareholders, would put us firmly on track to becoming the No. 1 telecoms company in the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Alexander Izosimov

It gives me something new to work for and I really wanted to, so I'm glad I did (play high school). Right now, I'm just looking to get to states. But if I get there, of course I want to win.

Sekou Bangoura Jr

Of all of these, three seem promising. One comes from South America. Another comes from the United States, and a third from China.

Monsignor Slawomir Oder

This is a big win, not only for all the states involved, but for us, because it puts that money back into the Agricultural Development Fund ... and it doesn't hurt us over the next 20 years of making that bond payment.

Keith Rogers

This is our ultimate goal. Getting to states is what it's all about for us. Even if a team has just one section champion, it's a great thing.

Jim Mccloe

This whole thing of terrorism is new to the United States. Israel has been facing it for 55 years.

Ron Habler

People will be eyeing $450 as the target. It may not be today. It will be very quiet in the States.

Darren Heathcote

[Because Rita could wipe out more refinery capacity while the United States is still catching its breath from Katrina,] the market is going to keep a keen eye on energy prices, ... It's a very big deal.

Arthur Hogan

Fifteen years into the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States, prevention remains the most effective way of addressing this disease, ... Business and labor have a crucial role to play in HIV/AIDS prevention, and I applaud these organizations for taking a leadership role.

David Satcher

We've pretty much reached a consensus that we're not going to be able to help each other. We're all going to be fighting this battle at home. We're not going to have a lot of resources that cross borders and go into other states. So hoping and pleading for help from other states is not a reality.

Toby Clairmont

If it does, I'll just get rid of every one of them. If it gets in the United States, I'm through with birds. I'm scared to death of that flu.

William Robinson

Elk existed at one time in 48 of the 50 states. A lot of the recovery is due to good wildlife management practices.

Mark Armstrong

The trouble is, they're not helping the United States.

David Pritchard

I know many Christians in the United States are very concerned about China. They think Chinese Christians have no access to bibles.

Cao Shengjie

On a drug-by-drug basis, someone could save well over $1,000 a year. For someone who is not covered by the soon-to-be-rolled out Medicare program and isn't elderly and doesn't have any coverage, $1,000 is huge. It explains why some people are doing this. It explains why at least 22 states this year looked at legislation addressing importation.

Sharon Treat

Too often in other states there hasn't been rigorous authorizing, and that has resulted in problems. Here, from the outset, we've taken great pains to be thorough.

David M. Harris

The Supreme Court's decision should not be construed as an endorsement of assisted suicide, but a state's rights issue.

Teresa Favuzzi

He was [Murray State's] leading scorer when they went to the NCAA Tournament. They have a bunch of good transfers and they have good size. They like to slow it down similar to UCA. They're possession-oriented and they'd rather have the score in the 40s than the 70s.

Jeff Morgan

I would say that Arizona would be clearly one of the more hard hit (states).

Tom Rex

There's a kind of sense of unreality that we're looking at here. Nobody's really talking about how we're going to manage a world that looks at the United States and is jealous and bitter. The issue we're missing is that we are reading our own prosperity as a global phenomenon, and it isn't.

George Friedman

Logistically, it keeps us in the chase to make states and win the Patriot Division. Emotionally and for our confidence, this proves we can play with everyone and beat anyone. There's no one left on our schedule that's better than Trenton. Even three or four years from now, we can bring this game up and hold it up as something you can do if you execute properly.

Jeff Losch

Some member states don't share [the view] that it is necessary at the moment to adopt this measure at the European level.

Philip Tod

Saturday was our first meet with [Division I] competition and we had several good performances that qualified us for States.

Matt Tierney

Sometimes things don't go your way and their guy made a tough shot at the end. This will certainly give us something to build on for the states.

Joel Pardalis

I would expect Bush to appoint an assistant attorney general for antitrust who would settle for wimpy relief, but then you still have the 19 states suing, so it would be up to them.

Robert Lande

Asians were historically discriminated against immigrating to the United States for about 200 years, so we are very wary.

Traci Hong

An IDNS report of tests results four days later states clearly that no cobalt 60 or other fission products were in that water.

Neal Miller

This clearly states that the Government's hearts-and-minds policy has been disastrous. The coalition is now part of the problem and not the solution.

Andrew Robathan

For the United States this new North Korean nuclear weapons program is an overriding concern that must be resolved swiftly and visibly if we are to move forward with the DPRK (North Korea).

Thomas Hubbard

(This) reflects the general assessment of the council's members on the real human rights situation in the United States.

Phan Thuy Thanh

Epidemic obesity is unquestionably a health crisis in the United States, and for that matter, in much of the world. But it is a crisis in slow motion, one that has crept up on us over years, and even decades.

David L. Katz

The (Federal) Government is working closely with industry to target the skilled migration program to help best meet the needs of the states and regions, including regional and rural Victoria.

Amanda Vanstone

We forecast that bird flu mutation is possible in the countries where the number of different viruses is high. This group includes the United States.

Sergei Dankvert

Lex is one of the most important calling cards. It's very popular in the States and has an increasing name in Asia and Europe. We now produce more Lex online because the world is going online.

Andrew Gowers

In seeking clarity on such clandestine activities, the international community must focus not merely on recipient states but on supplier states as well; otherwise our global non-proliferation effort would be undermined by charges of motivated selectivity and discrimination.

Shyam Saran

We've had a great commerce experience with Nebraska and this shows the desire of many (U.S.) states to work for free trade with the United States.

Pedro Alvarez

This time, as a country, we couldn't lose it. The United States lost and we got a really good chance, so we had an unusual power inside us. That was a great game.

Akinori Otsuka

In Europe, (earnings) numbers are still being revised up, ... Estimates have risen by 11 percent in the past six months in Europe compared with 6 percent in the United States.

Brian Scott

Crude stocks were broadly in-line, but distillate and gasoline were better than expected, but was not that a surprise given the incredibly mild weather recently in the States.

Bruce Evers

The early Irish Americans were persecuted. They struggled when they left their country, and they struggled when they got to the States.

Buck Clark

The Thai military is only among the latest who are far ahead of the United States in recognizing that sexuality and gender identity have zero impact in having someone doing their job. The United States should follow Thailand's example. It's a matter of national security.

Steve Ralls

It is not acceptable for customers in one member state to pay the price for a company to become a bigger player in other member states. The ruling shows that in these cases it is essential that companies propose adequate remedies in order to guarantee sufficient competition from other firms.

Neelie Kroes

The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.

C. Wright Mills

What was at issue is whether a federal drug law, the controlled Substances Act, gives the Attorney General the power to second guess states' assisted suicide policies. And the court said that the congressional drug law didn't clearly give the Attorney General that authority. That's all it held.

Mark Moller

We've been to all 48 lower states, and for 30 years we always made it to Canada for the start of the walleye season.

Paul Stone

My opinion is that the Northern States will manage somehow to muddle through.

John Bright

This year's deer harvest demonstrates the overall success of deer herd reduction efforts implemented in counties exceeding their population objectives. We have made significant progress toward balancing the state's deer population with available habitat.

Frank Jezioro

I'm over it now. I'll let it motivate me for states.

Matt Moley

RGGI was designed to let other states to opt in at any time. We've had ongoing discussions with California and some other states as well and certainly we will continue to do so.

Peter Constantakes

It shows how politically motivated both the administration in the United States are and the new Labor government are in pursuing their critics over the Iraq war.

John Reese

As in earlier mediation, including peace-making efforts when he was the state's attorney general, Kobayashi served without extra compensation.

Charles Turner

We will be in a position relatively soon to welcome North Korean refugees in the United States.

Jay Lefkowitz

Everyone should call the president of the United States and tell him to stop giving all of these damn tests.

Nelson Wolff

The main thing is that it's the Classic. There's a lot of money involved. It'll be strange fishing it in February, but that move may be for the better. I like fishing in Florida. It's one of my favorite states to fish in. I like fishing with plastic worms, so this will be right down my alley.
