The Sacramento River is more than 350 miles long - the longest river in the state - and only 5 percent of it remains undeveloped. If we can get the Sacramento Bend designated a National Recreation Area, it would be permanently locked away in the federal land base and open for the public to enjoy. |
The scripture that comes to my mind is 'Jesus wept,' ... Jesus weeps today for the loss of life in New Orleans and he weeps that his gospel is being hijacked by the rabid rhetoric of the religious right -- that is in its own way as destructive to our national fabric as Hurricane Katrina has been. |

The show should be entertaining and funny and thrilling theatrically but also bring out the sociopolitical aspects of Ossie's story, ... We didn't want to treat it as dated material but rather as material of a certain time that is also relevant and important today. It's not simply a museum piece. |
The speakers Brianna used for her study have no reason to distinguish between 'pin' and 'pen,' either from a perception or production standpoint, since others in their speech community don't. It's just a matter of what the speakers have been exposed to and the distinctions they're used to making. |
The staff is always excited when we come in to talk hockey. Our health is the most important thing and being in a contact sport is very demanding. Having that support there, whether it be doctors or whoever, is usually important to our success and it's something we wouldn't be successful without. |
The State Open, the way it's bracketed, you just never know where you're going to end up. If you have three good guys that go to the finals you're going to score a lot of points. Some teams this year have that available to them, teams like Windham or Ledyard or even a team like Griswold probably. |
The successful election in Iraq was an important step toward establishing an independent democracy in that country. Tremendous credit should go to the U.S. Armed Forces, who made voting possible throughout much of the country, and to the millions of Iraqi citizens, who risked their lives to vote. |
The thing in men's volleyball is the competition is so tight. You only have so many programs. You don't have one or two good players on every team. You've got six or seven good players on every team. You've got to be focused or you'll be in trouble. That's a lesson we learned in (Friday's) match. |
The thing that helps her is that she's surrounded by 10 girls that work really hard and just feed off each other in practice and push each other harder and harder. There's so much talent that they know that, if they don't do their best, they'll be passed by the next person and they all know that. |
The thing that I have is flexibility. Both my starting guards can also play tackle. My backup center can play both guard and center, so I have a little flexibility there with some guys that have a little more experience, not that they are the most experienced guys. But I am comfortable with that. |
The thing to remember is that you're not just making technology decisions for today, but for several years. No one wants to buy a system, then realize a year later that you need capabilities it doesn't provide. Not only are those mistakes an inconvenience for your business, but they're expensive. |
The traffic - that is what's hindering downtown Bluefield. There is no traffic. Again, we are just trying to get the traffic into the heart. Your downtown is your civic heart. If the heart stops beating - just like in your body - you are dead. Symbolically, that is what is happening in Bluefield. |
The ultimate objective of all this is the destruction of Arab identity; for the enemies of the Arab nation are opposed to our possessing any identity or upholding any creed that could protect our existence and cohesion, guide our vision and direction, or on which we can rely in our steadfastness, |
