It would be nice if the state would call me and say, 'He's gravely ill, you might want to plan for a funeral,'.

John Banks

All the folks in the new administration are working as hard as they possibly can. They are not happy about any of this. This year, everybody understands what the scenario is. Obviously, it's going to be a very difficult couple of months for everyone funded by the state.

Steve Rose

If they're caught, they'll get prosecuted fullest extent, ... It's a felony in this state.

Gary Thompson

This will give new solar businesses confidence and investors enough confidence to fund those solar businesses. Our state is already doing over $100 million dollars a year in [solar] business. A significant part of that is exported.

Ben Luce

They have a structural accountability problem; they're federally funded, state managed and locally staffed, therefore accountable to no one.

Scott Henson

America has never seen itself as a national state like all others, but rather as an experiment in human freedom and democracy.

Brent Scowcroft

I am really sorry to know that this happened to such a budding young player; I am still in a state of shock.

Patrick Thompson

Winning the City League championship is important, but we look at the state playoffs as well. When we step outside the City, we want to prove our worth outside of the league.

Marco Corona

We don't play for a conference title. We're not in a league, so we can't take home a trophy. Anything less than a state championship is unacceptable. To win a state championship, that's our goal.

Chase Simon

These counties are eligible because they are contiguous to one or more primary counties in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. SBA recognizes that disasters do not usually stop at the county or state lines. For that reason, counties adjacent to primary counties named in the declaration are included.

Frank Skaggs

You can see we face great challenges. We're working hard and we're working well, but we have a long way to go if we want to see our state rank up there.

Nancy Kotowski

SBA disaster loans are the primary source of long-term recovery assistance from the federal government. To date, we have approved more than $84,310,000 in the State of Alabama for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Frank Skaggs

Across the board, we have every state failing to meet the national goal of 15 percent or less of the population being obese.

Shelley Hearne

We knew this game would come down to whoever blinked first. I think Nicole held her own, but we're going against probably the best pitcher in the state.

Jim Ware

Making it non-mandatory for usage may free up the state from any funding; but we have spoken with our insurance company and they have said not enforcing the use of the seatbelts would open us up to many liability issues. I'm not completely against (the bill). My main concern is whether or not the school will receive the $10,000-$15,000 needed to make the change?

Kent Polsgrove

We have so many fatalities in our state from impaired drivers. This is another tool to get them off our roadways.

Jessica Smith

It's her senior year. She's been working hard for four years and her goal has always been to make it to the state meet, and to have put in for years and to be on the edge, always second, is a heartbreaker.

Roxanne Balducci

The Coast is one of the shining stars in the crown of the arts in the state, ... It's devastating, especially not to know right now what's going on, or have a handle on it. It's sad.

Ann Powell

The opportunity is to lower the cost of these drugs. The risk is that state Medicaid programs use this excuse to entirely deny some patients access to more effective and more expensive drugs which work for those patients.

John Goodman

I told them that they were champions. They had a great year, and they're state champions in my mind.

Jim Tonte

There should be absolutely no "Separation of Church and State" in America.

David Barton

The whole state of Sunday night television was much different than it is today.

Dave Baldwin

We played flat and we played down to their level, and that's been one of our problems all year. We had to push it up before they could make a run at us like the Penn State-Illinois game last week.

Chris Day

Ethanol is a home grown product; we grow it and refine it within the four corners of our state. Jobs and markets are created right here at home and we are boosting the rural economy while making a positive step forward for the environment.

Rep. Cory Gardner

They are as good as advertised. They are No. 1 in the state for a reason, and I was especially impressed with their two guards.

Dan Dorsett

We're still going to have our growing pains along the way. We bounced back today, but we've got to go out every game and we've got to try to duplicate the performance today, whether you're playing against Indiana or Florida State or UCLA.

Jim Millinder

The City definitely is one of our primary goals. It's one of the longest-running tournaments in the state, and it's always a springboard into the second half of our season.

Larry Nicks

I don't have any problem with it. It may not be the largest in volume in the state, but the old vines have the longest tradition of the major varietals.

Nick Frey

They're our friends. We hung with them at Florida State in a tournament during the season. But now, they're coming into our place.

Brian Brooks

We're both singing off the same page. The bottom line is the State Ports Authority doesn't have the money or the capacity to invest in more terminals. Anyone who says otherwise is not dealing with reality.

Sen. Clementa Pinckney

I think everyone is interested in tax fairness in this state.

Rep. Richard Lindsey

If the prospect of a viable Palestinian state in the framework of a two-state solution is seen to dwindle because of unilateral Israeli actions, it will become even more difficult to persuade the Palestinians that there is anything to be gained from moving toward compromise.

Tuliameni Kalomoh

I don't think the state has ever seen the sort of devastation we will see with this storm.

Jim Butch

The state is being more aggressive than other states, and that's a good thing.

Adrienne Esposito

I think this is a monumental move by our state. This acknowledges our African-American history. This is a huge deal for a state that is 2 percent black.

Betty Andrews

We saw just overwhelming anxiety among folks about their future in the state.

Kirk Martin

With the state divided 40 percent Democrat, 40 percent Republican and 20 percent in the middle, yes, we do have to get our base out. We can do that but each and every one of us has to reach out to our neighbors and friends.

Alex Sink

He coached women's tennis at Penn State and knows the tennis scene real well.

Larry Tobin

Funk is fun. And it's also a state of mind, ... But it's all the ramifications of that state of mind. Once you've done the best you can, funk it!

George Clinton

We opened with State College and tied them, 36-36, but lost on the second criteria [most bout victories]. We had more pins, but they had more wins.

Ron Frank

Pennsylvania has become the third-slowest growing state in the nation.

Ronald Bailey

He is so knowledgeable about issues relating to seniors and about poverty issues. He is going to have the best insight on vulnerable populations in the state.

Richard Doran

The state cannot become stable unless the Sunnis are involved.

Barham Salih

We felt pretty good about the game. I'm pleased. Greenville High School's never been this far in the history of the school. I'm so proud of the girls. And I wish Mann luck in the state finals.

Pam Player

The defendant has convincingly been proven guilty of participating in a criminal act of corruption that caused the state to suffer financial losses. The punishment is five years.

Cicut Sutiarso

If the welfare state is here to welcome them, the solution is to get rid of it, as should have been done long ago. Overpopulation is a problem for socialist systems, not for free societies. In fact, the welfare system may be more destructive [to] the immigrants' families than to the natives.

Joseph Sobran

Anytime you can beat Murray State it's memorable.

Jake Sinclair

This does not mean the state has abandoned the market model. It was a political decision.

Andrei Klepach

He is going to Penn State. The second year, can you believe it?

Matt Shodell

We made clear to Mr. Morris and others what the materials were. We explained the testing and the state parameters. Yet once it went off the site, it is up to the contractors to make sure it is used properly.

Jon Holt

A state version of the Human Life Amendment has never been attempted. We believe, as the pro-life movement has always believed ... that the legal recognition of unborn children using a constitutional process would resoundingly overturn Roe. v. Wade.

David Rogers

I think this is a big draft for Florida State.

Antonio Cromartie

It was so much fun playing with the group I was in today. They are all great competitors. It was like playing in a state tournament.

Marissa Cook

If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'

Jeff Foxworthy

We're keeping a very close eye on it, but at this point, nothing seems to point to the need for a state response.

Lara Azar

Our guys have to be consistent and wrestle one of their better tournaments to have a chance of making it to state. We'll need to win the close ones. To do that, we must limit our mistakes and take advantage when an opponent makes an error.

Deryll Rohda

There are other ways to protect people in the state of Florida without resorting to this barbaric kind of botched executions.

Howard Simon

The pitching was solid. Jake did a good job of getting out of that inning. If we're going to do anything state-wise, we've got to have Jake throwing well.

Greg Payne

I am pleased to have Jason join our sales team and help us further grow our presence in the state. His extensive background and knowledge of the health care benefit needs of Texas companies strengthens the counsel, service and support we can bring to employers in the market.

David Toomey

We're looking for the best competition we can find to help us get ready for the state championship.

Larry Strader

This has been going on for years and years and years, but it's over now. We see this as a huge victory for the business community, especially in an industry that represents the No. 1 employer in the state of Florida.

Carol Dover

That (is) the gist of our challenge, that the National Environmental Policy Act and its state counterpart, the California Environmental Quality Act, are on the books to influence how decisions are derived, not to be applied after they're decided.

Teresa Schilling

Peter Marshall: In one state, you can deduct $5 from a traffic ticket if you show the officer...what?Paul Lynde: A ten dollar bill.

Paul Lynde

There are two meets that count (sectional and state), and this isn't one of them. Sure this is a confidence builder, but you want to beat the champions at the championship meet.

Amy Dupont

We're going to see more and more pressure to drill in people's backyards, and more sophisticated campaigns to challenge the drilling. That will create political pressure for the companies to implement creative technologies and be more cooperative in local communities. Ultimately, we need the right environment at the state level to allow local authority to regulate the surface impacts.

Gwen Lachelt

There is a level of dysfunction in the State Board of Education that gives a one-size-fits-all approach.

Dean Gilbert

[A day after Katrina,] it was all on the shoulders of state and locals, ... There was a lot more staging of a lot more operations in place for the second storm... . I think you see a huge difference.

John Pine

People involved in fraud, waste and abuse, trading on the misfortune of others, should be severely prosecuted under the law, both state and federal.

Ted Poe

This dovetails nicely because the goals put forward by the California Climate Action Team are consistent with the goals of the California Clean Energy Initiative. Our measure provides the state a funding mechanism to make those goals a reality.

Fiona Hutton

There was one area of the state he did not buy TV and that was Metro East. Where we went head-to-head in the absence of TV ads, we won 2-1.

Attorney Paul Mangieri

We are going to have a party - a toast to the road. We're having a birthday cake and punch, tours of the Old State Capitol building and speeches from various dignitaries whom we have invited, including the governor, if he can make it. And everyone is invited.

Mary Truitt

It is time for us to try and address this on a statewide level, ... When you do it city by city, you leave huge holes in the state.

David Simmons

We know we'll have to raise our level of play. Russ (Penn State coach Rose) always has his team prepared. I have a lot of respect for them. If you lose to Penn State, it's not a loss to hang your head.

John Dunning

I think she has the potential to have a chance to be a state champion. No doubt about that.

Trinity Morgan

We're asking that this court state that we would have a right to litigate that question and provide evidence on that question.

Jeffry House

We knew when we won conference we could go to state. And our defense was the difference.

Daniel Wright

Colorado has become a battleground state for both liberal and conservative forces. It's one of the states in play.

Floyd Ciruli

The broader point we're conveying is the immigrant community is important. What would be the impact if there were no immigrants? The state would not have enough workers. The state is already lacking in workers.

Ali Noorani

It is deeply unfair to the children of this state to mislead them about science.

Martha Wise

They've studied the famous houses, the people and important dates. We've been able to introduce it more and more through the new state standards. It's a nice sense of how your town evolved.

Carol Price

We have overcome injuries and sicknesses and wrestled real well at the state tournament. It's been a long season but we'll remained focused.

Trevor Carritt

I just want to thank the people of St. Cloud, the fire department, rescue people and St. Cloud State University for all (their) help — your prayers in this horrible, horrible time.

Allan Radel

I enjoyed Michigan State, and camaraderie with my teammates was great. About halfway through the season I decided that I just didn't want to be there after the season. I didn't want to spend all of my college years there.

Tyrone Mckenzie

I want to assure . . . (that) the state and federal agencies are coordinating their efforts.

Mark Udall

Many communities, faith-based entities and the state of Texas have drained assets to save lives and help with the enormous multi-state national emergency, and they will need reimbursement to avoid massive financial failures.

Louie Gohmert

I hope our best is good enough to get us through. Our team going to state is goal we've been talking about since the beginning of the season and we can still pull it off.

Christina Deboer

Outside of the long bus ride, I don't see how we are going to be able to compete. They are one of the best football programs in the state. I only dream to have a football program here as good as (Boykin) has there.

Greg Ennis

Smart energy policies will be a boon for Michigan's economy and its consumers and the environment. That's why we are advocating for smart energy policies here in the state. The first smart step begins with a concerted investment in energy policies.

Jason Barbose

The rest of the state finally caught up.

Frank Gehrke

Of our general fund, 20 percent of Pleasant Grove's is provided by the state, ... The other 80 percent of funds necessary to operate our district come through local revenues.

Margaret Davis

It was a real good race for our top guys. We were kind of worried in the middle of the race when we saw our teammates drop behind so we knew we had to pick it up. Everybody's performance was really good; sometimes you have off days. It's just that a couple of our guys had their off-days on the same day. It's definitely better that it happened now than at state.

Stuart Murphy

Under Section 10 of the state law it requires that the state provide attorneys fees and litigation costs when a title of property that was derived from the state is challenged. Pursuant to this section of law the state agreed to pay for the attorneys fees and litigation costs related to the land-in-trust applications.

Christine Pritchard

It was very exciting, but also very grueling. If there is an organized event, each state will be in charge of getting there.

Larry Cook

I'm very excited with the quality of the non-conference teams we have on our schedule, ... To play at Mississippi State and to host Creighton, to potentially face Wake Forest on their floor, those are the types of games that should help prepare our team for the rigors of conference play.

George Mason

The father, the mother and son have all been arrested for this before. The son is currently on probation. The father is in the (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and the mother served time in a state jail facility.

John Brewer

One hand adds 100 jobs and the other hand takes 200 in widespread cuts to the state budget. And from where exactly will the police get the funding to buy bugging devices? The criminals don't have such problems. They have the money for satellite telephones, fast cars and fortified houses.

Yossi Sedbon

We're here to offer a public witness against a state-mandated undermining of the institution of marriage. Oct. 1 is a tragic day because it's the first day a law goes into effect that states a legislative belief that children don't need both a mom and a dad.

Peter Wolfgang

We knew what we had to do and we wanted a state championship.

Abyee Maracigan

We dropped a little on floor and weren't quite as sharp as we'd like to be on bars and they had just enough. We have a few things to clean up. We'll get back in the gym, work hard, and hopefully we can get to the state meet and change the outcome.

Lorie Cook

The basic bargain is this. If eighth-graders are willing to do their part throughout high school, the state will do its part and make sure education is affordable.

Dan Leistikow

The payroll survey is one of the oldest government data series and it was state-of-the-art when it was developed.

Katharine Abraham

I'm sure he's thinking about it. We all are thinking about it. We want to do this for everyone,to be able to say we got a state championship.

Colin Purdon

From an outsider's perspective I can understand it seems odd to open a new facility while another one is closing. But Red Rock is designed for a state contract.

Steve Owen

Married couples under state law get all kinds of rights to make decisions for each other automatically that unmarried couples don't now get no matter how long they've been together.

Lawrence Jacobs

That?s three great matches he?s wrestled for us (since a shoulder injury). Blake is a four-time state champion. He knows how to win.

Russ Hellickson

Donna was not in the rescue business. This was kind of thrust upon her. All the birds that were evacuated to the Lamar-Dixon convention center and Louisiana State University were later taken to her house, and she now has almost 300 birds.

Jinx Scogin

Bill Davis Stadium has been ranked as one of the best college baseball stadiums in the country and I think Ohio State fans have done a great job creating an extremely positive atmosphere. I can't believe it is the 10th season.

Bob Todd

Our department is proud to be a part of this effort, which enhances the state as a whole as well as each individual that uses the trails.

Doyle Childers

We want to stay in the port; we feel we have been a good tenant. We provide an economic benefit, a net positive revenue flow, which goes to the general revenue of the state.

James Hood

It is going to be controlled somehow. Hunting is basically free management for communities and the state.

Keith Warnke

I'm glad the court finally agreed that the state didn't meet the burden of proof in this case. I'm sorry that it's taken so long.

Michael Brennan

This is really a pilot program for the state. If the program does well here, the state hopes to expand it to other schools across Florida.

Charlotte Emerson

In both games [we won] they had some awesome saves. UC San Diego and Long Beach State had some counterattack opportunities that they didn't get because of our goalies' awesome play.

Alaina Whitaker

Erin has the talent to be an all-state runner, just like he brother, Brad, was. She just needs to get over some small hurdles, build a little more strength and it could be a 1-2-3 punch.

Jermoe Loy

We've received well over 7,000 complaints related to pricing and the majority of those have been about gasoline compliance. We provided an 800 number that's been on radio and television. And we're following up complaints with investigators who are all over the state.

Jacob Ray

McDonald's does not close down and move across the state line when you raise the minimum wage.

Dan Cantor

Custodial parents are very familiar with when their exes are sending in their checks to the state and they know that three days later their checks are supposed to be in the bank. If the checks were sent to the state on those three days after the fire, they have been processed and they will be posted to bank accounts by Tuesday at the latest, if they haven't been already.

Roger Munns

The last fumble, I really felt it wasn't a fumble, but it's over with now, there's nothing I can do about it. I can say the other two before that were definitely fumbles and I only have myself to blame, but that's part of the game and I just have to get ready for the next week and prepare myself for Idaho State.

Andre Woodson

This football team, like the state that they represent, has been through an enormous, difficult time. But they're ready to play.

Les Miles

Jeff has the experience in state forestry systems, plus with issues relevant to Colorado, such as wildfires.

Marc Johnson

We are spending $250 million a year on the Northeast Corridor infrastructure. We are playing catch-up, but we are well on our way to bringing the Northeast Corridor to a state of good repair.

Cliff Black

For each dollar spent (on tourism marketing), you get $10 back in state taxes.

Pete Meersman

Fletcher's return is a lift for the team. Hopefully, he'll add some depth at the state slalom meet.

Tory Hauser

This is one of the most functional citizen groups I've ever seen. The state could learn from Lewistown that amazing things can happen when a community pulls together.

Richard Opper

Timmy wasn't feeling that great coming into tonight. That 152 class is one of the best in the state and I think we'll see some great matches at the regional.

John Wisniewski

We have to play Wright State again at their place. It's not going to be easy.

John Hurley

I think the experience will be huge for us. There is a certain level of comfort you get from being at state tournaments and that should play in our favor.

Bryan Kramer

The divers have been tremendously consistent. I believe for the first time in a long time we're going to have four divers at the State Meet.

Marilyn Fitzgerald

The problem that we're facing is not unique to Hernando County. All 67 counties in the state are facing this issue of dramatically increased costs and not enough revenue to maintain levels of service.

Dennis Dix

The destruction visited upon the State of Louisiana by Hurricane Katrina is tremendous. But the response of the extended law enforcement family with their offers of help and aid has been equally tremendous. I am very proud that the Louisiana State Lodge is providing this service to the families of officers and all of us pray that they will get to see their loved ones again soon.

Chuck Canterbury

It's a very loaded term. The actual definition is determined by state governments, who define what taking 'unfair advantage' of a crisis is. Attorneys General monitor these situations closely.

Sean Comey

Our hospitals need to be able to take care of the incoming sick. With the NDMS system you can take care of what you currently have outside of the state.

Coletta Barrett

The loss got them fired up. It made them realize how much everybody wanted to beat us and that we were not invincible. Without it (the loss), we might not have won the state.

Brad Biard

The Cedar Valley is usually typically less than the rest of the state so we're pretty fortunate right here even though it doesn't feel like it when you have a forty dollar bill when you're filling up your car.

Pat Cole

Kyle Tolman did not even place at state last year, and yet he is doing spectacular. He's dominating people; he's not just sneaking by.

Davie Swensen

You may have gotten frustrated today since a lot of the reps weren't there. But that's what happens in state government. But whenever we talk to students, they begin to listen.

Robert Antonucci

I know when it comes to Arizona, (that's) been the history. It hasn't been that way this year, but in our situation a win is a win. It was good to get the blowout win against Oregon State to kind of reinstate the kind of things we can do. But whether we win by 25 or two it's a win. That's the important thing.

Fendi Onobun

This is a state-of-the-art facility. We will meet all the state and federal standards for emissions and noise.

Terry Doyle

North Carolina is an important market to us. It is our second-largest state with 1.5 million customers. Florida is the largest with 7.5 million customers.

Dan Hesse

This weekend is a great benchmark for us. We like seeing what's on the other side of the state, and it gives us two weeks to get our act together for the postseason.

Julie Matheny

It is certainly appropriate and within their rights to appeal, ... But we think there legal argument is without merit and would be rejected by the justices on grounds this is properly a case before the Florida Supreme Court because the issues are issues of state law.

Ron Klein

The reality is, we have to get rid of faith-based arbitration, no matter what. The only way we can protect [women] is for the state to come out and say one law, one process, one secular law for all, and that is it.

Homa Arjomand

Someone's going to have to travel. I like the Upper and Lower State set-ups. I'm not really for it. I'm not in favor of sending a losing team across the state, but I don't know if this is the answer.

John Mckissick

Our goal for Candice this fall is to break the state record in the backstroke.

Marilyn Fitzgerald

It's confidence. You've got to know you've got to be able to get away in big matches, and that means something to me. It's the biggest match I've been in since high school, the state championship match, and I got out in the state finals.

Matt Irwin

We're stuck with Tom DeLay, Rick Perry and the rest of the corrupt Republican leadership who's auctioned off the state Capitol to the highest bidder. Their pay-to-play style of politics has put special interests over the best interests of our state.

Charles Soechting

It was a fitting tribute to Rosa Parks, ... There's no question. She means so much, not only to Montgomery and to the state, but to the entire world.

John Knight

I think he's on the right track in trying to see that Florida becomes a cutting edge state, ... We have some of the best researchers, and it would be a pity if we cannot advance stem cell research in the state.

Bernard Siegel

He's the first freshman to ever go undefeated at Westerly. We have great expectations for him, he could be All-State by his junior year.

Al Gaccione

It was pretty much a rout. It just felt good because of the way they swam. It was one of their goals. We made some state cuts and had two relay meet records. They were really happy with that.

Scott Teeters

The state is going to have to step in and see to it these people comply, if they have to shut them down, yank licenses.

Joe Napoli

I thought we showed a lot of poise as a team. We stayed together when Colorado State made their run at us. The guys hung in there and it's a great win for us.

Louis Amundson

It will help to define him as just another Republican, and that's not good for him in this state.

Gary Jacobson

From cutting back on state contracts to reducing the number of state cars, We're making state government smaller, smarter, more efficient, and more accountable.

Democratic Govjim Doyle

I've talked to kids that have gone in the past and they said they still talk to friends that they made at Boys State. I think it would be awesome to make some of those friendships.

Christopher Turner

America has been in a state of fearfulness since Sept. 11 (2001) -- that fear has been able to squelch the debate -- if you're not with us, you're against us, says the administration. Americans should have responded more forcefully.

Philippe Sands

This flag is not one that represents an individual state, branch of service or other select group. It is the prisoners of war/missing in action flag that calls to mind the sacrifice and plight of those Americans who have sacrificed their own freedom.

John Croft

These schools have seen a drop in suspensions and expulsions, a rise in GPAs, a rise in test scores, and more activity in extra curricular events. They [Waite High School] were a high- poverty school that was very low-tier in academics, and now they are equal to top schools in the state.

Joseph Kretovics

He's going to have to move around the state and it's harder to do that if county government is in an uproar over this partisan struggle.

Blair Horner

It will be totally state-of-the-art, ... It will be a pleasant environment for patients and family members. There'll be more privacy.

Pam Davis

The main thing is they should clearly speak on the issue of recognizing the state of Israel.

Alexander Kalugin

I did mention to Kevin before the game that his state tournament career started with Desert knocking us out in the quarters. He didn't want it to end that way.

Bob Fredericks

The fire chief from Stoughton called the state command center and Wisconsin Rapids was the closest team available to respond.

David Weitz

It would put the state on the map.

Gray Swoope

I knew that if we played to our potential no one in the state could beat us.

Kyle Coston

This is really a great dual-meet tournament. There's a lot of parity, and not parity in the sense of mediocrity. There's parity in the sense that there are several very strong teams. Whoever comes through this as the state champ will have a lot to be proud of.

Jim Tonte

She's the defending 5A state champion in discus. She's really excited about her senior year.

Andy Thiel

We always had a standing rule on economic development that towns didn't steal from each other. If they were going to do that, they didn't get any help from the state. I think the same thing should apply here.

Mike Blouin

We are looking at that next budget because, as much as this budget did to fund projects and some other things, it didn't fund a single additional social worker to keep up with state government's child protective services demand.

Debra Miller

[Penn State] Coach [Greg] Nye really didn't put too much emphasis on the result. He was glad that we got it together as the round went on.

Greg Pieczynski

Approximately 250 New Orleans-based Shell employees returned home today. Another 750 employees will follow the week of February 20th. These individuals and their jobs represent important contributions to the emerging economic recovery of the region and its community fabric. Shell is one of the largest New Orleans Central Business District employers and employs more than 4,000 people in the State.

Frank Glaviano

He's one of the top two or three in the state in the freestyle and in the top five or six in the butterfly. It will be a real dogfight at the state and he will be right in the middle of it.

Mike Heuke

Typically, lots of the local filmmakers come. (Eight of the films were made in Colorado; the bulk of those show Saturday.) Out of state, we may get 10 people who show up.

Josh Weinberg

It was an incredible win for us tonight. We beat a very good Salem team that will be going to the state tournament.

Chris Mastrangelo

Beating any incumbent is a difficult thing. Any number of things including name recognition and campaign funding are hard to overcome but I'm very confident that the voters in the 12th district will find me a better choice to represent them in the state senate. It's difficult but winnable.

Gregg Hannan

Being the son of a school board member doesn't automatically make you all-district, all-state, and certainly not first on the depth chart.

Pat Wozniak

I'm just happy to see the champion getting a slice of action again in a division that is in a poor state as far as emerging talent goes.

Branco Milenkovic

To lose my little brother is hard, ... But I know he'd want me to play. I know my brother wouldn't want me to sit back, mope and whine and get into that state you can when you have a family member pass away.

Paul Spicer

We don't want our state to be more attractive to people who engage in these activities, as the one place in the country where you can go and do this.

Jeff Rosenthal

It certainly would be prudent for prosecutors and state legislators to look at their laws to see if this sort of analysis applies.

Paul Bradshaw

Cyrus is one of the better players in the state. But Tommy's right there.

Ben Wolfe

We're taking this to the state level.

Unfortunately, everybody gets beat in the last game except the state champion. When we started out the year, if we knew we were going to win 15, I think everyone would've been happy with that.

Dale Corbett

He's been coming on slowly, today he just put it together. It's great he's going to State.

Marv Rankin

Jim earned this by working hard all year long. The school is so fortunate to have another state speech champion.

Jen Green

The schools will also be able to access current information about the state of online learning.

Doug Levin

My goal now is to do what I did at Murray State, to be a great mid-major program. We can be regionally dominant and nationally competitive. It's a great fit for me.

Scott Edgar

I'm happy I get to go to state. I really want to medal and make it to senior nationals.

Josh Amaro

I knew he had the ability to be a state champion. It was a switch turned on in him just before the state tournament and he just went for it.

Ryland Wagner

(State) experience is so helpful. This team has a lot of it and we hope we can get more (this year).

Tim Hanson

Just because they were undefeated didn't mean anything to us. We just came out and played our best game of the year. Renton is very good, but so are all the teams at state.

Michael Duty

As much disdain I had for that game, I told my staff that the only way it's ever going to be useful is if we get to the state tournament and play Christian Brothers Academy. They are two very similar teams.

Bob Cimmino

I want to win state. It's the same goal I've had every year since I was a freshman.

Jacki Gemelos

They're good as any two guards in the state. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they can play.

Chris Greene

Not since the Depression has the state been this dry, have our rivers been this low, our water table this low, and our reservoirs this low.

Parris Glendening

One of the nice things about racing earlier is we get to see what we have. We can really identify what boats will be most competitive. Grand Valley State is a good program and that race will help us identify some of our weaknesses in March and still have eight weeks to make corrections before the Regional Championships.

Bill Mclean

I could very well see Israeli authorities closing down all (peace) discussions. Because they don't want to debate with an organization which has, as their platform documents, to destroy the state of Israel.

Nathan Godley

The '04 version is one of the greatest comeback seasons in Cal State Fullerton history.

George Horton

It means everything. There were times we came here before when we didn't get a point. And the competition here is as good as what we'll see at state.

Tony Edwards

I think the reason I've given it any consideration is my concern for the state and I don't think we're moving in the right direction, ... On the personal side, my family kind of feels like we've been through this. We've done this, we've done our time. And I think that's a valid position as well.
