My hope is that we will get the framework of how financing can be done. I am pretty confident.

There's not enough information to know how much to apply for.

The costs of those activities will be by far lower than the massive costs we face if we don't meet this challenge today.

I think Coldwater is really surplus. It's not as necessary as when it was first built. It's very expensive to maintain. It's going to have to have some major work done on it soon. I think it would be a smarter move on the Forest Service's part to get rid of Coldwater. Demolish it. Take it out.

Sometimes it's not worth buying the cheap stuff.

There is nothing wrong with flipping houses. What's wrong is getting appraisers to inflate values.

We have a mission to accomplish. Their first obligation is to their employer.

It's almost a necessity. It just makes things go much faster.

As we look at 2006 and really expand the franchise, the focus is going to continue to be East Tennessee and the Knoxville area. But clearly we'll be looking in Middle Tennessee and filling in the franchise in between.

The plan is basically set.

You don't need a 30 hammer to nail in a picture.

We havent had rate increase since 2002 and we have a huge need for fuel, especially gasoline. When gas goes up a penny, it costs the U.S. Post Office 8 million.

The European community has taken the lead in this and we expect to meet in Beijing in January. By then we hope to have specific proposals for the structure of a funding mechanism, ... It may well be that some countries are prepared to commit funds before then. But we hope by early next year to have that trust fund available.

Having a passion for youth, ... I marveled at how TouchDown Productions provided a truly unique opportunity for Nevada and Placer counties to 'showcase' our youth sports and activities. It seemed like an incredibly positive program, and was unique in that I knew of no other community that enable the exposure of its area athletes in such a way.

We're anticipating a very generous EU response. We have a very strong commitment from the U.S. We expect the Japanese to come with a strong commitment.

It's turned into a circus. It's a party atmosphere.

We are very pleased with the growth and progress in the Knoxville market. It's an attractive market. We like the business climate in Knoxville.

I find comfort in his appearance being consistent with my imagined image from the biblical story and the strong features, combined with a non-squinting, open-eyed, kindly, compassionate expression. There have been many movies with him cast as a very White, blue-eyed blond with English accent, for we commonly want to recast our God in our image, instead of vice versa. That's a good reminder to me not to do this myself. God in Christ is totally other.

We are broadly worried about trade in a globalize world, but two industries that would be particularly hit are tourism and agriculture.

It shows the administration is working hard to be a leader on this issue. The U.S. will easily be the largest single donor.

Nobody's wishing for more tragedies or more crises, but if the world has a better ability to respond to those, I think that's a good thing.
