Substantial financial controls already exist but we are currently looking at what additional protections might be useful. If in working with Congress, agencies, and state and local leaders it is determined that additional safeguards are required, then we'll put them in place.

Alex Conant

We believe that California taxpayers deserve the right to independently and privately prepare and file their own taxes. Our concern has been that this program targets predominantly low-income and minority taxpayers who may be put at a disadvantage by getting what looks like a bill from the state.

Julie Miller

Originally, we had a lesson on recycling at homemakers. The state was pushing it at the time and I thought it was a great idea, and I am a green person.

Delores Swehla

Your goal every year is to go to the state championship, realistically or not. That's why you play.

Larry Beets

Getting as many guys through to state is the main goal. You have to stay healthy as well.

Jeff Newcomer

We want to take care of this as soon as possible. We know that we messed up, and we want to move on. As of today, we will follow whatever the state guidelines are for off-season practice. As of today, you won't see us anywhere near a football until May 1.

Larry Andrews

We are applying to the state for grants that will help offset the cost of those folks who can't afford it.

Roger Lehman

For centuries we have been living in the society where not laws but people ruled, where there was no legal state.

Nursultan Nazarbayev

To state that the drugs are not suitable for routine influenza control is entirely inappropriate, is inconsistent with regulatory opinions worldwide and is not supported by the data.

David Reddy

It's beyond the place of the state to address that issue.

Rep. Bryan Stevenson

We need money that schools can use to expand classes. A lot of this depends on the sort of support the university can get from the state.

Carolyn Williams

Wind is an indigenous state resource, and we're not taking advantage of it.

Peter Mastic

We are the highest-funded city in the state.

John Rockwell

I was going to go to an out-of-state university and needed funding for it. This sounded like a lot more fun than writing an essay for scholarship money.

Krystal Long

I just wanted to try and help the team out as much as possible. Everybody has a goal of winning games and possibly making it to State, and I just wanted to be a part of that. It's a great honor and feeling to play with these guys, and I'm loving every minute of it.

Seth Evans

Their girls had 10 points in each event. They're loaded. Their cross country team won state.

Todd Loveday

It was a surprise for me, ... He asked me how I was doing and said he would do some kind of a tribute to me at the state fair.

David Somerville

The health budget is 1.06 billion rupees (23 million dollars) while vaccines would have cost the state over three billion rupees.

O. P. Singh

ACLU opposes dress codes -- we believe students have a right of free expression, a part of which is expressing their individuality through the clothes that they wear. And parents can control the clothes their children wear, but it should not be a matter that the state dictates.

Michael Steinberg

My clients have been very pleased. [The clinic is] state-of-the art, and what I like is that they really care.

Kerry Jackson

I think she's the best point guard in the state for Group A. I'd even put her up against point guards in AA or AAA. She scores, but she passes just as much. She's very unselfish.

William Griffin

Missouri could make huge strides by adopting a state version of the Federal False Claims Act. Millions now wasted by (Medicaid) provider fraud would be available to provide health care to low-income Missouri parents, the elderly and those with disabilities. In 2005, approximately 90,000 low-income Missourians lost their health insurance due to cuts in the Medicaid program.

Jennifer Hill

The result of the cracking is to relax the interior and exterior field to a less twisted state. This has very little impact on the star itself, other than the fact that it will take time to twist up the field again.

Steve Schwartz

If he wrestled like he did when he won the tournaments this year, he'll make it to state.

Cameron Beard

Looking at how we can interchange runners in the relays, and with Dante in the long jump and hurdles, I can see us qualifying six or seven for state. Ten or 12 might be a stretch, but you want to set your goals high.

Jason Goings

I think we probably had better time drops than anyone else there. Our focus is now for two weeks down the road. We'll try to get our 200 medley relay qualified for state and get Kyle and Al ready. Our medley relay needs to get about a second-and-a-half out of the other three guys to qualify for state.

Brad Jones

I think we have the best two teams in the state.

Dave Hughes

The law in this case is an ass and an idiot, as Shakespeare says, because it's being used to silence the only true consumer advocate this state has.

Harvey Peyton

If the Manhattan Institute is against the state takeover of Medicaid costs of county taxpayers and new property tax rebates for homeowners, they are out of step with New Yorkers.

Scott Reif

Both the US Defense Department (Army Corps of Engineers) and the State Department have roles in reconstruction, however, the Iraq Project and Contracting Office (PCO) manages most of the pledged $18 billion.

Heather Layman

The best thing on the guys' side was diving. That's one of the best scores in the state in a six-dive meet. Going into district, he should have some confidence.

John Coffman

The choice of Texas for the meeting is symbolic. Lost in the focus on the federal legislation are the brutal state-by-state battles being waged for this research.

Bernard Siegel

The experience from the state tournament can't hurt. The three guys who went to state should golf with some confidence.

Jay Frydenlund

We're going to have to get our bats alive like we did against UNLV. We've got to have the same kind of attitude we did in that game and jump on (Sacramento State) early.

Diane Ninemire

There are very few people advocating for the poor in this state or in the country. Poor people have no voice.

Patricia Wright

One of the (Wright State) assistant coaches told me to get in touch with them when I decided what I wanted to do. I called them back Saturday and that happened to be the day they were playing Bowling Green.

Dan Penick

There's $210,000 with the state, plus what we're doing as big snow country and what we're doing as individuals. We've got close to $1 million in marketing. Working together, too, is something that is showing. People are happy with that interchangeable ticket. It's a good marketing tool.

Tony Paterno

I don't think the Class A tournament was put there for the private schools. The true intent was for teams like Two Harbors and Silver Bay that never get a chance to go to a state tournament in double A.

Mike Randolph

We filed (the motion to dismiss) because we feel the allegations against the athletic director and against Penn State are unfounded.

Bill Mahon

I think it's the only way they are going to get better. And in their defense, Georgia and Oregon State are good teams.

Luke Jackson

Both the National Classification Code and the Guidelines for the Classification of Films and Computer Games state that a computer game will be refused classification if it includes or contains detailed instruction or promotion of matters of crime. It is the Classification Review Board's determination that this game promotes the crime of graffiti.

Maureen Shelley

We have people who come from all over the state and have something going on in the area. Over the time we've been (at Oregon Trader), we've built up kind of a following both with musicians who play and regulars. A lot of these songs are our standard stuff. When we start doing those, people start to sing, and it's fun.

John Donoghue

That is the core position that the state has taken. I'm sorry if I did not articulate that.

Carolyn Snurkowski

I would be much more apprehensive if we were not moving to a new facility with state-of-the-art systems, including filtration systems that will allow us to have much better control of those kinds of issues.

Luiz Barbieri

Israel respects Rev. Robertson and accepts his apology, which reflects his true friendship and support for the state of Israel.

Daniel Ayalon

' love Florida State. I loved Coach Richt's system when he was there and I love the way he called plays. I would love to go to Georgia.

Matthew Stafford

That's the bad news. The good news is fairly normal precipitation this spring would get . . . much of the state up to normal before spring planting begins.

Harry Hillaker

Stories in an English newspaper look difficult, especially for those who've never read them, but they clearly state who did what, where and when and why and how. So they're actually easy to read.

Keiko Izumi

His name is synonymous with Southern California, making him a perfect fit to get the state of California's largest spectator event under way.

Gillian Zucker

We were saying how much confidence we have in each other and how we know we can do it together. ... By working together and seeing how well we played against Ohio State, I think we can make a run.

Brianne O'rourke

I would say that the city, state and national government just turned their backs on us because we didn't get anything to eat or drink, there was no law and order, and no plan.

John Brunious

That state is best ordered when the wicked have no command, and the good have.

Pittacus

(Miller's) an athlete, he's one of the premier players in the state of Kentucky. I just wanted to stay in front of him. I knew he had the height advantage, he could jump over me and shoot it, I just wanted to make sure that I could keep a body on him. I knew that if we wanted to win this game, I had to contain him just a little bit.

Jake Wells

I just felt as though the state needed to go ahead and test him to see if he really understands what's going on and to find out mentally where my client really is.

Butch Williams

Senator Martinez is not driven by polls; he is driven by the needs of the state of Florida and its 17 million constituents.

Mel Martinez

Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.

Avram Noam Chomsky

As a freshman, Humbert qualified for the state (Three-point Showdown). She's always working on her game and she will only get better. You can bet she turned some heads against Walther Lutheran.

Jeff Froelich

Under the collaborative framework of Advantage Oregon, we will leverage the enormous freight buying power of Oregon agricultural shippers and use the latest in transportation management software to drive cost efficiencies and service improvements for the benefit of our out-of-state customers.

John Aguirre

There's just no compelling reason why you'd want to vote against him. He's a very popular senator in this state.

Sig Rogich

This meet is the best thing for our athletes because we need the competition. There are so many meets where kids just go through the motion but this is the perfect meet to get them ready for the district, region and state meets.

Jay Fitzgerald

When we talk about what we want to do with this state, I think we have to be mindful of the fact that this state does have some assets. This state does have some ability. This state can do things.

Jack Billion

To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia.

H. L. Mencken

State government and industry officials are searching for ways to stimulate California's business climate. Offering at-risk businesses a rate incentive is a proven approach to achieving this important objective.

Bill Bryan

With energy prices reaching unprecedented highs, investments in energy efficiency should be a top priority in every state. However, our analysis clearly shows that many states are largely ignoring and failing to capture this lowest cost energy resource that also yields significant environmental and economic benefits.

Dan York

We feel strongly they do have the authority and responsibility to review textbooks. Textbooks are purchased with money out of the state's Permanent School Fund, and the state board has a constitutional responsibility to oversee how those funds are spent.

Peggy Venable

Our easy to use modular design allows us to quickly provide our customers with an exact fit regardless of their circumstances. We have worked with state and local governments across the nation for over twenty years, which has resulted in a deep understanding of government requirements. This insight enables us to meet the specific and demanding needs of every demographic we serve.

Kris Painter

I hope we have a big crowd, ... It's the home opener. There's been some talk going on about us playing Brookhaven. How many times do you get to see a team that's won a state championship?

Bill Davidson

I look back and realize I am not happy with what the local agencies are doing, but the state did worse.

Ryan Mckee

My experiences and education from Penn State were paramount to getting the offer from Ford.

John Probst

We have wrestled better, but everyone is very tough in the state tournament.

Mark Bowman

An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.

Nick Cave

Holly's a very good offensive player. Her strength is her scoring. She takes the puck hard to the net, her skills are as good as any player I saw in the state this year, and she's very competitive.

Scott Knutson

The people of West Virginia have made it clear that they will no longer tolerate a government that is out of step with the economy of this state.

Joe Manchin

A lot of (residents) have never been out of the state. All they know is working on a farm.

Merle Derscheid

We've got a long road ahead of us to get to (North Central) in the sectional, but we'll see them again. We're going to be all right. We'll figure it out. I still think we're one of the best teams in the state.

Mark Noe

It's great to go as an individual, to go against the best in the state. All I want to do is enjoy the experience and do the best I can.

Ryan Weitzel

When the state inspectors look at us, they will see that the systems are in place. You have to have a system whether you have one person or 100.

Al Mollozzi

All the power people and state troopers have told us that Silsbee was the hardest-hit town in southeast Texas and we had nothing. There was no medicine, no FEMA, no Red Cross -- nobody.

David P. Norton

We don't talk about it because we know what it's going to take. State is the goal for some of the boys on this team, but we basically just need to compete first.

Jon Hogenson

They know what the number is. It's been presented in bankruptcy court. It's been presented in state court.

Adam Mohammadbhoy

We'll be staying on top of it, checking in every day with Ford, the state and union people.

Denis Finley

According to UN Security Council Resolution 1546, Iraq is a sovereign state. There are multinational forces in Iraq and I want these forces to be of assistance to the Iraqi government. I want their role be specified and regulated in an agreement. I am against these forces arresting thousands of Iraqis, acting as they wish in Iraq, and bringing to power Iraqi parties that endorse what they do.

Ahmed Chalabi

Boca Raton leads the state of Florida in its provision of outdoor green space to its residents. We will surely continue anything we develop with that theme in mind. Boca is the city within a park.

Buddy Parks

Some kids are put in shelters and there are a number of reasons. Kids run away from home and there are other problems in the community that have an impact on attendance. They are breaking state law by not coming to school.

Dennis Kirk

Any time any kids from Chicago [play in all-star games], they've earned their invitation. Illinois is a state that produces great talents.

Sonny Vaccaro

It's like when we beat Arizona and then came back and lost to Arizona State. We just didn't come out with the fire that we normally come out with. I didn't come out ready tonight. We're coming towards the end of the our season and we don't have the fresh legs that we had before, so we've got to do other things out there.

Nick Young

PRIMATE, n. The head of a church, especially a State church supported by involuntary contributions. The Primate of England is the Archbishop of Canterbury, an amiable old gentleman, who occupies Lambeth Palace when living and Westminster Abbey when dead. He is commonly dead.

Ambrose Bierce

Even people who are lucky enough to get on the list won't have access to all the drugs. The amount of services we're able to provide is just pitiful. We went through a period when the state couldn't give us any money to provide transportation to our rural clients.

Kathie Hiers

After two Federal reviews and strong approvals by shareholders and the international community, it is clear that this combination is undeniably in the public interest, ... The Department of Justice and FCC approvals put us on firm footing as we seek the remaining few state approvals.

Tom Tauke

I'd be hopeful we can score in three or four events at the state level and do better in our dual meets.

Jim Ford

Overall, as part of the state budget, it's not huge at this point, but we certainly expect that to change.

Scott Pattison

It's the third time we've been down there and it's the first time we've won all three. It was nice to get that victory on Friday and beat the defending state champions last night [Saturday].

Ron Eastman

In some of the more energy intensive industries, there would be negative change in jobs. But when you look at state levels, even states that had large sectors of the energy industries in them, they had overall positive change in jobs.

Jennifer Morgan

Staples no longer charges these shipping damage fees and hasn't done so since May 2002. The issue is solely about whether Staples must be registered to sell the shipping damage coverage as regulated by the state insurance code.

Owen Davis

We're starting to pick it up. I think we just struggled coming out of the spring and going right into the Florida State League.

Blake Johnson

I think the state-owned casino proponents look at both Cherokee and Crawford counties as potentially lucrative markets.

Whitney Damron

It was first the awful state of the land that was pressed upon me. I saw the blindness and infatuation of the people to be very great. I felt the cry of Liberty just to be the hiss of the serpent, to drown them in perdition. It was just no God.

Margaret Macdonald

Both Metro and federal law enforcement agencies looked at this case, and it was decided prosecution would occur at the state level. The reviews, I suspect, took some time.

Don Aaron

Today is just the beginning. We have a wide spectrum coming together from across the state.

Debbie Dingell

[Estimates of insured losses from Wilma range from $4 billion to $10 billion. The four hurricanes last year and the same number so far in 2005 in the state indicate that] there might be more years like this ahead, ... That means that the risks associated with insuring properties in these areas have substantially increased.

Robert Hartwig

An equal measure of his environmental ethic derived from living in such a beautiful region of the state. He was Michigan all the way. He is Michigan all the way.

Dave Dempsey

What we are seeing is more than a summer phenomenon but a worsening of investor sentiment. People are continuing to be quite concerned about the state of economy and the markets. This is causing them to hold back their investing activity.

Glen Mathison

Frankly, the risks are greater than the rights of workers in this state and other states.

John Trasviña

That was a great experience, when you are 24 years old and can learn from, what I feel, is one of the top coaches in the state. What a playground that was to go into and absorb that knowledge and to see his motivational skills. It was absolutely the perfect scenario for me to learn the game.

Ted Rioux

The Vernon Parish Storefront is one of the outreach offices being established in severely impacted parishes. We'll work with the local leadership and residents, the LRA and other state and federal agencies to develop a set of essential recovery tools to enable the community to define and plan their recovery.

Brad Gair

We stand by this good pro-life law that will reduce the number of abortions in our state.

Jessica Robinson

The girls are pretty excited. We are looking forward to Friday. Their goal at the beginning of the season was to make it to state. On the way home they changed their goal to wanting to in state. They are not ready to be done now. They are as excited as I am. They were pumped up on the way to the game and even louder on the way back.

Jennifer Nolte

It's the most comprehensive ordinance I've seen in the state of New Jersey.

Stephanie Samuels

You always want to take first. But the main objective is to get to state. The main thing is to just get to the next level.

Jack Mulhall

We played well enough to win, but if we play one of the top teams in the state tonight, we're not even close.

Paul Doerrfeld

In an unconstitutional partnership with the state, the church can impose the most irresistible, if covert, controls conceivable.

Madalyn Murray O'hair

The worth of the state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it.

John Stuart Mill

We need to make sure that this doesn't occur at other sites around the state.

Sandy Howard

That 9:28 area is exactly where he'll need to be at state to medal.

Brad Bevis

We will continue to report these emissions to the state, as required by our operating permit.

Tom Mcdaniel

Our kids will have a chance to play in a state-of-the-art-facility. That's very exciting.

Jay Woudstra

He brings the kids in from out of state.

Marlene Duncan

Overall, it's a top-50 class. What (Michigan State coach John L. Smith) needed to do is get some Band-Aids for his team and fill some needs right away. With eight guys coming in signed, I think he did that.

Chris Pool

This is the best education budget the state has ever produced. It provides more money for the classroom.

Rep. Richard Lindsey

The regular team missed state by two individual matches [this season].

Hope Baldwin

They told us we deserved to win a state title. They asked how hard we were going to work for it. Now we've won and showed everyone that we deserved to be here.

Lindsie Wilson

This is still a good-looking park. But the new stadium will be better for the fans. It's not like we're going to another state or another city. We're going next door. I look at it as progress.

Red Schoendienst

If, coming out of this, ... New Orleans gets to lessen the burden of the social problems that its city and state government are supposed to solve, that would be amazing.

Jack Davis

We are delighted that the museum is coming to the Empire State Building. This is the center of all the great cartoonists, and the museum belongs in New York City.

Peter Malkin

I think the DEC (state Department of Environmental Conservation) is beginning to see there's a problem with the bacteria in the water in our area. Bacteria is one emerging possible point of concern.

Steve Penningroth

Along with the legacy of her husband, Frank Roberts, her legacy continues to extend itself to the people in this building who are helping provide for the citizens of this state.

Kevin Concannon

We have one more goal and that's to win a state championship. We wanted to give ourselves a chance to reach that goal and we did.

Larry Goodnature

If someone does, we will listen very, very carefully and look into the situation. It's clearly an issue that is troubling to a lot of people in the state of Iowa.

Michael Gartner

I'm not an education expert, and frankly I don't want to make education decisions for our state. But I am experienced at successfully managing organizations, and putting people on a path where they can succeed.

Linda Lingle

The people understand that this is a new era for our state. People will be led to believe the lottery is a cash cow for education, and it's not.

John Rustin

The state of emergency was simply a political gesture which showed the government prefers a law-and-order response to the problem.

Dominique Sopo

For peace and brotherhood, I am ready to serve the Turkish state, and I believe that for this end I must remain alive.

Abdullah Ocalan

Without a doubt, this is the best team we have ever fielded at Chico State. On any given day we have a shot at winning the national title.

Gary Towne

He's Academic All-State in soccer because he has a GPA better than 3.6.

Mark Nirrengarten

There are a few (film) festivals in Georgia. One of the biggest is in Atlanta. Savannah has a big one. Rome has a small one. There are a few out there. ... They can recruit companies to Georgia. Bringing producers and directors in can expose them to the state and therefore encourage companies to come to Georgia. That's very important to us.

Greg Torre

It will be a big game for us, but they?re all big games here on out. We?re playing about as good as we have all year. I told the girls they can relax and play now. The pressure to win the first one (sub-state game) is off.

Jim Heiman

I'm outraged. This is so un-American. It's legalized stealing. Unless the state changes the law, people of my echelon, the financially challenged, will always be the people who get moved. Is there ever an end?

Martha Babson

Once you get to state, anybody can beat anybody. It's just a time when you get teams going beyond 100 percent and it's just so fun to be a part of. Every loose ball, every player's on the ground diving for it. Every point matters and you never know what will happen.

Joel Quick

We ended up winning by two, so I guess that's all that matters. We had tests like this early in the year, every game we've played so far has prepared us for what we're going to see in the state tournament.

Jordan Mcmichael

We are very disappointed by this unilateral action by the Venezuelan government and we are working closely with the U.S. departments of State and Transportation, as well as the airlines who received similar notice, to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Gina Laughlin

Now we can say he's the best in the section. And I think he'll be able to dance with the best in the State next weekend.

Roberto Dixon

The fact that we still went hard in practice last week makes those times even better. At state we might see some even more outstanding times.

Jennifer Zimmerman

This will be a great deal for Don, and will also improve the importance of that hatchery in the state of Oregon.

Brian Brush

There is no state or locality in this country that could sustain a storm like that and not be overwhelmed, and not need the help of the federal government in order to manage an effective response.

George Haddow

We're looking forward to going back. It means a lot. Hopefully this time we can bring back the state championship.

Meredith Levison

It's a very big deal for our state, for both conferences and for the university. We're going to make a lot of money off the use of the stadium that can be put back into the athletics program.

Rudy Davalos

Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is make by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.

George Soros

If me and my parents weren't given loans, then I wouldn't have been able to come here. I would've had to of gone to state or community college and not get the education or experience I have here.

Colleen Johnson

I was very pleased with Matt Smith's race, he put in extra effort and we might not have made it (to state) without him.

Joe Humasti

The earthquake was felt in several towns and villages of Gujarat state, but there were no reports of any damage or casualties.

Amit Shah

We as a people, as a state, and as a community, have too much promise, too much potential, and too much at stake to go any other way than forward. We are too strong in our hearts, too innovative in our minds, and too firm in our beliefs to retreat from our goals.

Bill Richardson

I think overall this will help tighten up the licensing of child care in our state.

Sen. Michael Waddoups

It's anybody's guess right now whether he'll run again. I think running for governor again in the state of Florida is more likely than him running for president someday.

Cory Tilley

Odessa High's the hottest team in the state. They've got everything going, they're playing good defense. They're spreading people out with their offense and beating people.

Carl Bailey

The great thing about this event is it gives our players something to compete for in the spring. They try to establish themselves as the best program in the state, even though it's unofficial.

Janet Rayfield

Being mayor doesn't give her the authority to violate the Constitution or suspend it. Anyone has the right to attend a meeting of government bodies as provided by state law and directly by the Constitution. She is simply a mayor, and there are limits to her powers. I'd have her point to the law that gives her the authority to prevent colleagues from attending public meetings.

Terry Francke

We must overcome any negative perceptions about the new site. We're removed from the center of the state where The Villages are located. The staff passed out hundreds of maps showing it's a short drive to Southwest Florida.

Jeff Mielke

We're back to normal now. We're back to Florida State football.

Willie Reid

These guys, I think they still have a taste in their mouth for a state championship. They played like they want to get back there, and here we are.

Chris Chaffer

(Some) had the wrong hats on. They were out-of-state fisherman - you could tell they weren't from Montana - but it was the wrong time of year for fly fishing.

Teresa Garland

The SAFE teams will give us an opportunity to knock on the doors of more offenders around the state of California.

Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia

If you think about dynasties or traditions —Oklahoma State is close to the top as far as wrestling goes.

John Smith

The biggest issue facing the new secretary of labor should be the complete reform of the state employment services led by the federal government. If we do that, if we can reform those state job services, we can recapture 20 billion hours of lost productive time.

Audrey Freedman

Emily is the hardest working player I have seen. There is no doubt that Columbia State is getting a great player.

Ricky Thompson

It is tough for coaches to have to follow two separate state guidelines. We've had to follow the rules for both the MSHSL and the WIAA, and maybe this (move) would eliminate some of the problems.

Dave Schulte

The Board of Supervisors has not formally reviewed the bill, but Beaches and Harbors has the same concerns that State Parks has — which are health and safety.

Dusty Crane

This is not OK, and we would like the secretary of state to say so.

Dr. John Marshall

For the entire state of Georgia, having the première of Gone With the Wind on home ground was like winning the Battle of Atlanta 75 years late.

Anne Edwards

It's a wide open race. Our goal is to make it to state.

Steve Woll

We can't get anyone on an All-State team.

Joey Downs

Austin Meier has to be one of the smartest, toughest fourth-quarter players in the state. He just makes play after play down the stretch. His decision-making and timeliness on big plays on both ends have been lifesaving for us.

Lance Randall

It's an interesting dichotomy, ... We know we're the defending state champ, so we've got to be ready for that.

Paul Cohen

It's irresponsible for the top elected official in any state to suggest blanket wiretapping of houses of worship.

Ibrahim Hooper

The state wants us to do the referendum before any decisions are made.

Barry Miller

First we want to win our district. We want to go undefeated in district. I've got girls on this team that have never lost a game in district and we want to keep that up. Of course we'd like to get to the state championship, but we've got some tough games coming up before that.

Amy Powell

The overall benefit to the state in keeping manufacturing companies and jobs in Connecticut can not be overstated. Although we have lost manufacturing jobs over time, manufacturing still makes up nearly 20 percent of our gross state product, and each manufacturing job supports many more jobs in support and related industries.

Bonnie Stewart

For a few pennies that we lose, let's keep management of the state parks for the future and everything else.

Ray Martin

It was really exciting. Whenever a wrestler gets onto the awards podium, the announcer tells the audience whether someone is the first state-qualifier or the first state place finisher from a school. I feel really blessed.

Colin Heasley

It's nice, it's an honor. What a privilege to be able to defend a state title. So my job is to get them to believe and work hard enough to be able to back that up and do it.

Beth Tocci

This is a big issue because sectors such as telecoms, energy and financials are still heavily regulated by the state. In contrast, others such as manufacturing have been opened up for a long time and there's now very limited government influence over them.

Patrick Lo

We've had tickets sold all over the state, so I don't know where the winner might come from.

James Matthews

This program has done a lot for renewable energy in Minnesota. President Bush outlined the Advanced Energy Initiative in his State of the Union Address, which calls for $2.1 billion to develop alternative sources of energy. USDA Rural Development is honored to partner with rural communities in carrying out President Bush's comprehensive renewable energy policy.

Steve Wenzel

There's a reason Butte is ranked second in the state, ... They're a really nice team.

Sheila Williams

I wanted to start with the Hollywood part, a la 'Sunset Boulevard,' ... We needed to know something about these people. ... Then let's go back and see how she got to this state.

Bob Clark

Yankton is definitely one of the best teams in the state. We came out and played hard, but our defense could improve a little and our ball movement.

Teresa Case

That's a major breakthrough for Washington state.

Randy Lewis

He's done real well. He actually missed a bunch of games because he qualified for the state tournament in golf. Otherwise he'd probably be near the top in the league.

Tom Draper

Even at the last minute, the state of Mississippi had put together something that was just completely out of this world when I looked at the breakdown of it.

Pat Townsend Jr

As we understood it, some time ago the city indicated the reason they were dropping this benefit is that they thought they were violating a state law by offering the insurance coverage to medically retired employees, but apparently the federal magistrate saw it differently.

Bill Wyllia

The governor has asked that all of the public schools in the state of Georgia close on Monday and Tuesday to help conserve fuel.

John Thornton

We have to be realistic. The state, we think, can help some. It's not going to be able to do it all.

Chester Gardner

I am uncomfortable when any head of state that is tyrannical and predatory comes to a conference like this, and he (Mugabe) fits that category. He is causing the crisis in Zimbabwe.

Andrew Natsios

Our focus was to keep the business in the state. Shreveport offered the most attractive option.

Alex Schott

That last game gave us motivation for the tournament. We wanted to play Ohio State and go at 'em again. Now we do.

Brianne O'rourke

Nevada called the other day, and I was contacted by Oklahoma State, so things are going along pretty good.

Andre Walker

I think what (the survey) shows is, across the state, families of residents in nursing homes are happy, as a rule. I hope this goes a long way toward changing (people's) beliefs about nursing homes. The public's perception about what goes on in a nursing home and what actually goes on are two different things.

William Graves

If a person is convicted of something while in state service, they do not automatically lose their benefits. There's no provision in state law for something like that.

Bob Conlin

You rock him to a drowsy state, doesn't take long. He's tired, put him in crib we leave the room.

Nicki Perchik

John Roberts' purchase is the third-largest voluntary green power purchase in the state of Minnesota. The Green Power Partnership applauds their leadership and hopes that other businesses will follow their example.

Blaine Collison

The problem is, each state has its own sovereignty. In other words, it's the states' rights.
