We're hoping this will allow for a greater awareness of the county and what it needs to continue to be the engine of Connecticut during the legislative session.

Peter Gioia

We're hoping some brilliant 8-year-old will see a pattern and tell us.

Hank Heasler

I'm very inspired by Kelly Holmes. But I'm hoping I'm not going to be injured until I'm 34!

They can't give us any word ? alive, or what ? but we are hoping he is.

Loretta Ables

We were hoping to make about $10,000 through the carnival and gumbo festival this year.

Vicki Scott

I haven't seen the field, but it's the third day the gate was locked and the field was unplayable. I'm hoping we can get the games in.

Callen Perreira

We are currently conducting an asbestos abatement. That should be complete within the next week, and we're hoping that demolition will be completed by mid-May.

Joseph Romano

Yuri is a dynamite leader. I'm hoping she can stay hot through the tournament.

Traci Green

I haven't gotten a concrete yes or a concrete no yet, so it's still, I would say, up in the air. I'm hoping that there's still a chance.

Joe Barry

We are hoping to receive it at least by Sunday.

Nicholas Haysom

I'm hoping that it's more of a defensive game. They're a very explosive team. They've got good athletes coming back, and that's what makes them very dangerous.

Mel Rios

I'm hoping my dad was standing next to me.

Pam Johnson

He's really gotten motivated, and he's really hoping for a top-five finish this weekend. He's got a good motor and great technique.

Travis Moore

I was hoping to get the guys a couple of days in class. It's disappointing because we've got to travel and we just traveled.

Al Skinner

We have more depth this year. I'm hoping to do more stuff. We have options.

Jackie Bledsoe

The crowd have been great with me so far and I'm hoping they'll be on my side again when I play John.

Ian Mcculloch

I was looking for a fast ball, and just hoping it would fall. But I'll play wherever they put me, I'll do anything I can to help.

Jeremy Barnes

I hope Andy Darkins can come back and play from that. Right now we can't count on that. I'm hoping it's a worst-case scenario bringing up he can't play.

Mike Riley

Investors are hoping there is going to be a large amount of money to recover that were the fruits of the Bayou fraud.

Ross B. Intelisano

We were hoping for a top-10 finish. We were 26th a year ago, so this is a big improvement.

Jose Sosa

We are hoping the schools will show significant improvements.

Charles Glover

You had to go from he's dying in your arms to hoping that she's not dying next. Because that's what they were telling us.

Jane Perillo

I was hoping the team that beat Sanger in the first game of the season would show up.

Rhonda Jefferson

I was hoping that they would be good. Honestly, they're really good.

Bob Barthold

David Watters

I'm hoping we don't have to have another conversation like this for four or five years.

Commissioner Nancy Robinson

We're hoping I'm a fast healer, which usually I am. We'll see what happens.

Matt Mantei

It's just been setback after setback. I'm hoping that's the last one and I'm good to go now.

Matt Welsh

If there is any angle to that, it would be not only that (sales were good) but also that we picked up some new fans by people that responded to the DVDs. It's happened in TV before, so I'm hoping for the best.

Bill Lawrence

People are hoping for the best, but there's an expectation that there will be some glitches.

Pat Epple

We're hoping to help a segment that's already shopping at our stores but wasn't necessarily finding what was essential to them.

Gail Lavielle

I am hoping that in this year of the family we will go into our families and reconcile differences.

Louis Farrakhan

When the team is getting better, it's tougher for a guy to make a team. And it's tougher for us coaches to make decisions. In the past, it was easy. You were just hoping to have enough guys good enough.

Bill Castro

That's all this is. But I'm still hoping there will be a couple of champions up there for us that will keep things moving along.

Pete Gerica

I'm hoping to help Surrey finish strongly in all forms of cricket.

Mark Butcher

We are happy it's the weekend. My neighbor's kids are hoping for a delay in the storm.

Joe Orlando

I'm hoping Joel will step up and give us a lot of innings.

Steve Rodriguez

The point of the paper wasn't to take a position on the war. I am hoping to create a framework for evaluation.

Scott Wallsten

It's a holding action. We're hoping it will buy seven years.

Reginald O. Knowles

We are hoping to really draw from the University of Pennsylvania community for the film festival.

Andrew Preis

I'm hoping that the state (of Baden Wuerttemberg) will get involved.

Dieter Gummer

Defensively we are hoping to get the same kind of effort we have been getting all year.

Roger Walters

We're really hoping to come away with a much better vision, in terms of what our priorities would be.

Aaron Woods

It's been a proposal that's been around for a decade, ... We're hoping to get the work done.

Brian Monahan

We are looking forward to being at home again. We have not played a home night game, so I hope there is a great electric atmosphere. I'm hoping we will get a lot of students out, which would be great.

Dean Duerst

The fact that natural gas prices are going down now is obviously good for us and the customers and what we have been hoping for.

Tom Henley

Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he's got great talent, and we're hoping he's able to come back and make a difference.

Mark Recchi

We?re also hoping to send our guests home with a gift bag that includes red wine, nuts and chocolate, because these are good for both the head and the heart.

Nancy Litzau

I'm hoping we don't get as much as in '96, ... I think we're a little bit ahead of the game.

John Doherty

We're working on Charles and hoping to get something done. Things are picking up.

Carl Poston

I was really hoping the team could make it.

Julie Dwyer

What we're hoping to do is reintroduce ecological factors that were important to the evolution of these habitats.

John Noyes

We wanted to win the state last year, but we're hoping to do it this year.

Stephanie Stoutenborough

We really just did the things we needed to do to win. I'm hoping it will build momentum.

Michelle Gardner

I was just really hoping he didn't see me.

Jonathan Modica

We're hoping to look at this again and we may have to downsize this. We may not get to $1.9 million. There are a lot of further decision points.

Bud Schmidt

We're hoping this is an art program that will both be appreciated and coordinated with the structure.

John Kish

This was expected. We were hoping it would come. Now it becomes a court battle.

Hilly Kristal

I'm hoping to place this year. It's the first time I'm ever going down there, but anything can happen. I hope to place in the top eight so I can be a state placer.

Jon Zofkie

People are hoping it's only going to be as bad as they said it would be.

Cummins Catherwood

But I'm hoping it will be easier. I have the reason to do it, though.

Dorothy Bass Atkins

Well, we're hoping. E-bay's been contacting us about how to do it. That's how we established the pre-approved bidder's list and things like that.

Stacey Houtary

Were hoping they can take over the whole operation. It will make it easier on us.

Mike Deroche

Very exciting -- very exciting for me and the family. We think that we definitely had the best horse in the race. Was hoping to get a good, clean race and he did.

Ron Bamberger

I'm hoping we'll have 100 participants, or more, this year.

Nick Hancock

Maureen's hoping she can go up and see her father, too, ... Good Morning America.

Michael Deaver

I was hoping for better. But it feels good and I'll take it.

Ashley Hanewich

We were hoping for good weather, which is always nice, but the biggest thing is we just wanted to get out and compete.

Jim Ballinger

It's an odd arrangement of competition and cooperation, ... Because [the joint venture] is Netscape branded, they're hoping to build the Netscape brand rather than the Excite brand.

Andrea Williams

It's an exciting thing. I have honestly been hoping to win this position for quite some time.

Roger Ludy

It is a challenge, because you are constantly blending families, ... You are taking children from other families and bringing them into your home and hoping everyone can adapt.

Sheila Frazier

I was hoping we would do a little better job of maintaining the ball. It was a little more discouraging in the sense that I thought we would be able to do some things instead of defending.

Tony Bauman

You don't coach that kid very often in your career. I'm hoping I get another chance to coach one.

Rob Senseney

When I said that, I got just the reaction I was hoping for.

Dave Leitao

I'm hoping we can really galvanize people with this film. [When] people see themselves on the big screen, that often helps.

Dave Eckert

I am hoping that somebody knows something about it that can come forward.

Al Krueger

I was hoping to have the team place in the top five. That was my goal.

Jason Tanner

I'm hoping the backlash is over. We've been going through that for the past eight years.

Darius Rucker

We're all hoping to settle.

Robert Soper

Every episode will be an event this season. We're hoping they find a way to give happy endings to everybody.

Matt Roush

I'm still hoping for the best.

Walter Turnbull

We're hoping Steve will be fine.

John Cornforth

They don't want speculators hoping for a pop and because of this range, there probably won't be a pop. If there is one, it would be small and fleeting.

Kevin Calabrese

Hoping something would leap magically from the canvas into me. 'Who are you? Where are you?' I'd shout over and over.

Helen Mirren

We are very concerned at the number of jobs that will be lost and are hoping to work with the company to help those affected.

Chris Ball

We are always hoping our guys get in a camp and have an opportunity to showcase their ability.

Roc Bellantoni

We were hoping against hope that he would be found. It was a very personal tragedy.

Liz Viering

We're going to be a singles, doubles team. We're hoping for more line drives than ground balls.

Dan Nobbs

I don't have a lot of answers today. I was hoping to be a little farther along than this at this point in the season.

Mark Zimmerman

The only thing that bothered him a little bit is when they had him skip, just to put all the weight on it. That didn't go as well as he was hoping, but everything else was right up to par. ... As he said, 'When am I ever going to skip on the baseball field?' .

Brad Arnsberg

Historically, the governor has presented the award. We're hoping [Gov. John Baldacci's] schedule will allow it.

Stephen Elliot

It wasn't a very good race. (The) conditions don't favor me at all. I was hoping for a slower course. It was wicked fast.

Sarah Konrad

It's disappointing, but I was hoping the show was going to be edgier than it was, ... It didn't work out, but I haven't been at this for that long anyway.

Andrew Kennedy

We're hoping this Tuesday that there will be even more people coming out. We are hoping for communitywide support for as long as she is in the competition.

Deborah Cox

It was a very good start. She started the season 6-0, and now we're hoping she can finish without a loss.

Jan Brogan

It's a mixed bag of emotion all the way around. We had some good swims and we had some swims that were a little disappointing. We obviously were hoping to place better, but the competition was absolutely amazing.

Larry Baeder

We are hoping it will be the great awakening. This is not just going on with just Delphi, but the airline industry and corporate America. We're hoping this will get the attention of the public and Capitol Hill.

James Clarke

We're hoping to get containment by the weekend. Things are looking real good.

Warren Bielenberg

We're hoping to get all the bonus available.

Steve Hoover

Boat season is right around the corner. But we're hoping we'll be able to get to our customers and they'll be able to get to us.

Verdell Pettey

I'd like to keep the combination going and I'm hoping he runs the following week.

I was just hoping to make the roster.

I'm hoping this turns out to be a very strong form race.

Paul Perry

We are just hoping for civility throughout this year's process.

Randy Dillard

Right now it's hard to tell anything, but we're hoping for the best.

Scott Severance

We're kind of hoping the novelty of us being there will carry the day, attendance-wise.

Larry Hanley

You have to take your destiny instead of hoping for stuff to happen. We didn't take it.

Arnaud Dahi

He looked at me and said, 'I was kinda hoping for infertility,'.

Sharon Rocha

We're going to the Supreme Court, ... We are hoping to have something ready to go to the court tomorrow.

Ted Costa

I was always hoping to buy a restaurant.

Phil Biston

We are hoping to win some cash.

Michael Chestone

Besides hoping for a full day's cricket, we do stand to make money from ancillary areas such as food and drink if we have a full attendance. The less play there is, the less we will make.

Roddy Smith

That is where we are hoping it goes.

Karen Gilbert

I'm hoping for 12-14 kids.

Justin Taylor

We're hoping it's an indicator of what the other grades are going to do too, because we saw great improvement.

Maureen Ferrie

We're hoping it turns.

Ben Sheets

Honestly hoping that we'd make it farther than they did. And I wished that they had made it all the way home.

James Kelly

Are reaching a home stretch. We're hoping that we'll reach some kind of conclusion in the very near future.

Jack Shaw

We're hoping 2006 will be the end of her medications, and when you're off, you're in remission. There is no cure, only remission.

Julie Mikesell

I'm hoping to create a confidence in them. They know what's expected of them and can prepare for it.

Tara Verenna

I didn't know what happened. I asked the boys and they weren't really sure. I'm hoping that he's going to be okay and that he'll be able to get back playing.

Christoph Schubert

I can't be too disappointed. I was hoping to win like $3,000.

Kris Damman

As the game progressed, I almost forgot that the PV crowd was there. I'm hoping that they can do that again (tonight) for us.

John Finke

When I first heard about it, I said, 'I'll believe it when I see it,' ... That was my knee-jerk reaction. I was hoping it would happen, but let's see it happen.

Frank Romano

We knew there was a chance we'd end up playing each other. We were just hoping it would be in the finals.

Chrissy Kelly

No one has said anything to me, no. I'm hoping, though.

Guillermo Quiroz

It was pretty much what we were expecting, but the market was hoping for more.

Grant Williamson

We were hoping that this would be the decisive game and now we have to win it.

Morten Olsen

We're hoping to get a couple of wins and get some momentum for the tournament. The win against Fisher Catholic helped a lot because the girls know that they can do it.

Anna Kramer

I was hoping I'd run it back, but I was thinking they were going to catch me. I just wanted to make something happen. I wanted to win so bad, so I did what I had to do to get to the end zone.

Rafael Little

I like finding it. It's the hunt, the hoping, the search for it.

Benjamin Miller

What we're hoping is that what we're providing investors now is a little bit of certainty.

Brad Mcgee

We are hoping that the county will use the 16.3 acres as an elementary school site.

Scott Pline

It was either this or not play in the U.S. Open, ... and I was hoping to do this.

Corey Pavin

I figured we'd take on all challengers. I was hoping it would come down to (the St. Bonaventure) game, and it measured up to all of the hype.

Allen Rossi

We're hoping to challenge them.

Keith Garbart

I'm hoping for the best and hope to play again. If I can come back and we can back into the rotation we had before the injury.

Brittani Nichols

Obviously we were hoping to earn our way in. We were never out of the game on the scoreboard, but they were in control of the game.

Rick Haugher

It takes a lot of money to put on prom. We are hoping to raise about $900.

Kirby Killen

We're hoping, of course, it's going to be fairly minimal since a lot of that fruit had already been picked.

Casey Pace

I'd very much like to record again. I'm hoping that Neal would like to do it.

Rex Fowler

It's an unanswered question we're hoping the scientists can give us direction on. We are concerned about it.

Richard Miranda

We're playing real well right now, ... We're hoping to win out and see what happens.

Brandon Webb

It's the closest I've ever come. I'm hoping it is.

John Clarke

We are hoping it will be an outlet for our work and have artists meet other artists.

Joyce Albrecht

All the time, I was waiting I was hoping I'd be back in Montreal.

Alex Kovalev

That's one thing we can't plan for. It's out of our control. So we're hoping that we don't go into labor on the same day and we're able to be at each other's births.

Tasha Riddle

The outfield is more steady. They've all been starters in the outfield. I'm hoping the seniors' experience is the steady factor.

Joe Dalsass

I was hoping it would be like this, but you never know.

Glenn Rutenbar

They've lost so much. We don't realize how fortunate we are. They need everything. We're hoping we can fill the semi.

Sally Adams

We've been hoping against hope that this doesn't happen. It could be another shock to the system.

John Townsend

Heck, it was just an honor just to face someone like him. All I was hoping to do was make contact against him and hope something good happened. I wouldn't have dreamed I'd have three extra-base hits off him.

Freddy Sanchez

I'm hoping while he's gone to get my house painted, ... We've been desperately needing to do it.

Dave Bennett

We were hoping to get a break or two to get ourselves started.

Buddy Pough

Anyone can take food, but we're hoping to end the day with a positive net gain.

Scott Lakso

We took it to the hospital (the next day) hoping to see her and hand it back to her. . . . and she'd died.

Jason Childs

We're hoping to find some cohesiveness and consistency.

Doug Higgins

I'm hoping that the community is interested in seeing the culture grow in this community.

Terry Mulkey

I was hoping for a bigger crowd, but I think the turnout was cool for a Friday night. I think if we could have had it on a Wednesday, the crowd would have been a lot bigger. On Fridays there is so much to do, it competes with this event.

Larry Morris

Just as soon as they send us the equipment — we're hoping in about a month.

Judy Davis

We're a new neighborhood, and we're hoping to develop a bit more of a cohesive feel.

Jeri Ballantine

Our girls have their confidence back. Now we're hoping to go play good tennis in Maryland.

Dan Silverstein

I'm just hoping he will get some more looks from colleges. He's slipping through the cracks when he doesn't need to be.

Greg Lowell

By the time I'm a senior, I'm hoping to win it. But with me and Brian going at it, it'll be tough.

Paul Lochow

I would like to see a top-two seed, so probably Anderson will be No. 1, I'm hoping that we'll be second.

Bill Mackay

With the Toubou we are hoping to find out who were the first people to settle in the Sahara.

Dr Spencer Wells

The Love Parade is Europe's biggest techno party. It was cancelled in 2005 but we're hoping it will run in 2006.

Thilo Schmied

I'm hoping to get some scoring out of the midfield as well.

Ted Moriello

We have a nice season going and we're hoping to keeping going this week.

Byron Jones

That's what we're hoping to do. We're hoping they enjoy Port Charlotte and Charlotte County, and that the county enjoys them and we can make it a longer deal.

James Gamble

After that first day, I was tied for eighth and was hoping to finish in the top 10. But I just didn't get it done.

Chad Leivian

I was thinking it was probably a couple feet, hoping for a couple of inches. And it could have been 14 feet away.

Craig Zielin

I haven't had a chance to win a game yet, but I want it. I'm hoping it will be in the Sugar Bowl. That would be awesome.

Pat Mcafee

I find out that I'm going to play a player that's totally different from him. I always wanted to play him as a kid. I'm hoping I get another chance.

Scoville Jenkins

Our four that we counted on are going (to state). We were hoping we'd get lucky and have another, but we're happy with the four that are going. They can all potentially win state.

Cameron Beard

We had too many pitchers. I was hoping to come back because I have a job to win over here.

Dennys Reyes

We are in a cross-your-fingers mode right now, hoping it will stop snowing.

Jared Smith

We're really hoping for a good showing.

Christina Angarola

The key here is probably, and that's where we're hoping the judge will rule in our favor, alteration does not mean replacement of the design.

Alan Bailey

We're hoping for a great recovery, but it's just too early to know.

Dr. Julian Bailes

I was coming off of my best giant slalom finish of the season -- a third at the regional championship. I was hoping that this would be a chance to break through.

Pat Duran

I'm hoping, based on public pressure, that he gets what he deserves.

Nelson Linder

We're hoping he'll make a professional transition.

Kevin Rhodes

I'm shocked by the devastation, ... I'm hoping that this MLS auction in some small way may be of help in the recovery efforts.

Freddy Adu

I'm hoping. I've tried to carry myself that way because the struggle was much more than just breaking the color barrier in baseball. It was everything.

Aaron Henry

I feel better, ... I'm getting here, working, getting my treatment done. I'm hoping to get back out there.

Jeremy Bonderman

We're hoping that he's well preserved, and that the ID will be rather easy.

Bob Mann

What we would like is that people will demand more. We're hoping to work together again.

Carl Herrman

I'm pretty excited to win in just my fourth professional event. I'm hoping to build on this.

Alex Hamilton

He was holding the Jack of clubs, the 5 of spades, the 5 of diamonds, and the 5 of hearts. I was hoping for a three from the deck to flip up because I had a Jack, two 2s and an ace.

Bruce Lawry

Our kids are really wrestling well. We are hoping for more of the same for the final.

Gregg Greeno

I am hoping to do the same dunks I did last year. Hopefully I will perfect them.

Jesse Williams

He turned it again a little in practice (on Tuesday), but we're hoping he can play.

Mike Godan

We're hoping it spurs some buying interest. They're convinced they have to have good seed, I think.

Bill Bitzenburg

The finger responded exactly how we were hoping it would.

Rich Peterson

I think people are hoping that Case is not going to collect on that second note.

Matt Cronin

We're hoping that's going to be another way to get kids excited and involved.

John Capodice

Opportunities are time-based. I am hoping the door hasn't closed.

Chris Havill

He is going to create a lot of excitement off the field and we are hoping he is going to do the same on the field.

David Young

I'm hoping to make it in an hour 10, hour 20 minutes.

John Greer
