Coast Quotations | Page 2

Many of our students from Southwest Riverside County and the Poway area prefer to student teach where they live, and many of our students from the coast prefer to student teach there.

Several of our doctors who were assisting patients on the Coast have come back and told us to be prepared.

Sen. Vitter worked in this House for six years and knows its leadership, ... He has placed the blame squarely at their feet, and I think they owe the entire Gulf Coast an explanation.

She was 17 when she went to the East Coast and didn't come back until she was 20. She left as a girl and came back as a young lady.

She was simply a beautiful person and I'm so happy to honor her this way. I'd love to see others from the Gulf Coast participating and would love take as many people as we can to Tampa.

She's famous around the world, but Pamela will feel right at home in Halifax. She can expect a hearty east coast welcome for what promises to be a spectacular awards broadcast.

Some 90,000 square miles of the Gulf Coast was devastated by the hurricane, and it seems so hard to imagine where to start any relief effort, especially in low and moderate income communities, ... The opportunity to adopt a community like Kenner gives a focused structure to directly provide assistance on an ongoing basis.

Shipments come in from the west coast that are sent directly to the Midwest and then distributed throughout the rest of the country.

Simply put, the round-the-clock helicopter rescue missions conducted by many services across three states, potentially saving thousands of citizens, was not a 'Hollywood role' by our military and Coast Guard personnel,

Since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast region, I have been asked by many of our student-athletes and fans if they could pitch in and help raise funds,

Much of our strategic shift is providing production advances over the next 60 days in the Gulf Coast. This effort sets the stage for Gulf Coast growth in 2006, along with production growth in our East, West and Canada regions.

My first record was made in Termonfeckin, which is a small town on the north-east coast of Ireland. I had been in London, but it didn't click. So, at home, I didn't think about making something, just whether something could be made. There was no grand plan.

Obviously we're not a coastal city, but we felt (the fair) could be a nice service to the community. We saw that people on the Gulf Coast were not prepared.

Of all the road trips we make in (the California Coast Athletic Association), this one probably is the toughest, not only because it's our longest trip (in mileage), but also because both teams are very competitive.

None of those teams got to play in the fall. Now, they're back. Gulf Coast United has boys teams in every age group. That's awesome, and big news for them.

Musicians in New Orleans and the Central Gulf Coast need our help. And beyond the professional musicians, there are hundreds of churches, schools and community groups that lost their instruments and gear and simply do not have the funds to replace them. ... Together with the artists and with Gibson Guitars, we are able to make a real difference--not just for those individuals and groups whose instruments we replace, but for the health of the whole region.

No one thinks of Mexico and Peru as black. But Mexico and Peru together got 700,000 Africans in the slave trade. The coast of Acapulco was a black city in the 1870s. And the Veracruz Coast on the gulf of Mexico and the Costa Chica, south of Acapulco are traditional black lands.

Now we have more than 400 teams competing and can draw upwards of 20,000 people into the area. With teams coming from eight states on the East Coast we're one of the largest national competitions.

New Jersey has developed over the last decade when it comes to D-I talent and is still on the rise. It is a notch below Pennsylvania, but getting closer. For any east coast team north of Georgia, New Jersey is a must on the recruiting trail.

Rhetoric won't stop the spread of anthrax or smallpox. Rhetoric won't help the Coast Guard track ships that are carrying dangerous cargo. Rhetoric won't secure our chemical and nuclear power plants, ... We need to put our best ideas into practice and back them with resources.

Right now it's a squeeze play for oil industry, ... But if they can get by from here to February, I think the coast is clear.

Right now it remains fairly weak. It looks like it will slowly drift off to the northwest and probably continue to rain on Florida and the northern Gulf coast in the next couple days.

Possibly the most important phase to recovery is getting the life back to normal again, ... And what we're talking about here in Corvallis is assisting people who want to get their lives back to normal, and who cannot go back to the life that is in the Gulf Coast because of Katrina.

New York for me is about work. If L.A. were to become a West Coast version of that, I'd shoot myself. The climate, the lifestyle - it really fits as the yin to my New York yang.

On the Coast you're going to have thousands of homeowners that want to rebuild. If the home is gone, there's nothing to elevate, so we're making the argument that they should pay for the foundation and a portion of the cost of the new house.

I was stunned to learn that more than 200,000 abandoned, neglected, or orphaned children had been sent from the East Coast to the Midwest on trains between 1854 and 1929.

I work for a Hall of Fame coach, and what he has done in the past, as far as developing players as players and, more importantly, men, is something that is known from coast to coast. This is a beautiful community, and when you put those things together, good things will happen.

I guess in their rush to the Gulf Coast to secure reconstruction contracts, they forgot about the troops who are protecting them over in Iraq.

I grew up mostly on the East Coast in Baltimore. Great education, medicine, the arts were all a given.

If they had told me the truth in Los Angeles, I could have re-ticketed for any number of flights to the East Coast -- but in Phoenix, I was stranded,

I don't know a single person who hasn't been deeply moved by the video footage and news reports coming out of the Gulf Coast over the past two weeks. We have several players and employees within the Palace Sports & Entertainment family whose lives were directly impacted by Katrina, and as an organization we are encouraging everybody to participate in the hurricane relief efforts by any means available to them, no matter how big or small.

I didn't want 'Calvin and Hobbes' to coast into halfhearted repetition, as so many long-running strips do. I was ready to pursue different artistic challenges, work at a less frantic pace ... and start restoring some balance to my life.

I'd like to see some of the things that ordinary folks have. Our local folks, with their tradition of joining the Coast Guard, and the Life-Saving Service before that, traveled all over the world. So they'll have some souvenirs from Lord knows where.

I am glad Buck and I got to spend some time together on his recent West Coast tour. He was a wonderful friend and he will be dearly missed.

I believe this win means a great deal to our team, the Gulf Coast and the people of New Orleans. A number of players have visited (Hurricane Katrina) evacuees in San Antonio and they're really excited to follow the Saints this year. They have communicated that to us that they better we do, they better they will feel.

I believe that these sea lions that are washing up along the coast are actually acting as important canaries in the coal mine, warning us of some ocean changes that contribute in fact to human health.

But that's not the case anymore. You can't afford to take the West Coast off.

Building standards in the Gulf Coast region are not as stringent as other hurricane-prone regions. We expect this contributed to increased wind damage.

Builders are running out of developable land. Developers are looking to the northern counties along the Treasure Coast to find large tracts.

I look forward to the president's quickly signing this bill, so that Gulf Coast citizens can begin to rebuild their lives without the concern of how they will pay their taxes," ()

I love Bogue Banks, which is an island off the coast in North Carolina. It's a beautiful, if hurricane plagued, area of the country. I own a home there.

I had a terrible West Coast swing but I've figured some things out and I'm feeling pretty good heading into this week.

I feel the coast is getting something rammed down the throat by the rest of the state and in particular by Haley Barbour who used to be a lobbyist for the petroleum industry.

If I played on the East Coast, I think I would be a household name. But on the West Coast I'm a household name, so that's good enough for me.

I can't speak for what's going on at the Coast yet, because I'm not there yet, but I do know that from what I do know the same kind of trend is happening, and the country needs to be united at this time. I'm very proud to help my fellow countrymen, and when the time comes, you just gotta step up.

Getting our affected Gulf Coast states the aid they need to help victims and rebuild communities continues to be our highest priority. Today's passage is the second aid package in recent days, and it illustrates one thing: this Congress is serious about doing everything we can to help local, state and federal officials respond to this crisis.

Frankly, Fort Pierce is not regarded, as we say, as the shining city on the coast. Frankly it's had a poor self image. But gradually, I think what's happening is people on the Treasure Coast are moving away from 'Fort Pierce has problems' to 'Oh my God, Fort Pierce has Earth, Wind and Fire.

I don't think anyone in the Gulf Coast is out of harm's way.

I don't think a lot of the guys from the Midwest and the West Coast really know what to make of him at first. When he came in with his verbiage and attitude, it didn't shock me much. We were sort of on the same wavelength. The New Jersey state of mind is the stereotypical street kid who doesn't take anything from anyone. That's how we want our offense to be.

If anything, we've maybe not gotten the recognition that we deserve. And then when you put the challenges of practicing indoors for this amount of time and not being able to have the team outside (unlike some of the West Coast and southern schools) I'm not sure how many of those guys can do what we do and be as good as we are.

From the top of a high rock, I obtained a good few of the most extensive and dreary wilderness I ever beheld. It chilled the heart to gaze on these barrens of Labrador. Indeed, I now dread every change of harbor, so horridly rugged and dangerous is the whole coast and country to the eye, and to the experienced man either of the sea or the land.

For whatever reason, we feel like we can just kind of coast to the finish line and not do what we've done all season, to be looked at as the best team. We're getting away a little bit from what we do. Guys are, unfortunately, looking too far ahead to the playoffs.

Given the steady decline in hoops ratings and the doubling of our football inventory with the Western Athletic and Atlantic Coast Conferences, this was no longer in line with our strategy.

If it's on ESPN, I'll start at midnight. I don't care. It was the No. 1 featured game, the only game going on at that time. It was late for the East Coast, but people on the East Coast watched, got a chance to see us.

If we win this game, ... regardless of what anybody else does, we're home for the first round and, in all likelihood, will be with the Angels, and that's going coast to coast, so we have a stake in this thing, too.

If the threat is significant enough we will board that ship as far from our coast as we can,

If we allow a huge East Coast bypass to be built into our Mountain Valley topography, the impacts will be tremendous.

If the Europeans do buy, it won't be now. A lot of the time they prefer to wait until the coast is clear instead of bottom tick the market.

He was completely taken with the Gulf Coast and the beauty of the natural landscape. It gave him inspiration. It gave him rest. It fueled him and allowed him to come back to the city and renew his work.

He went out for a three-week break after the (Ipswich) Cup and has been back in work at the Gold Coast with Kelly Doughty,

He's coast to coast, one of the quickest guards in the league. He causes havoc when he gets in the paint, and he's a pretty good passer. He's a one-man fast break, all by himself.

He had two charges, both of these are Coast Guard regulations. He was found guilty on both violations.

He gets them in so many different ways. He is as quick as Iverson with the ball, probably not from coast to coast, but from a standstill going to the basket, he is as quick.

The people of the coast -- and all British Columbians -- can take pride in these achievements, ... They have reached a hard-won consensus aimed at saving areas of global significance.

What I like about (the center) is, if you pick any subject, say drug interdiction, (you can ask) is the nation better served or would the Coast Guard be better served to have ships or rotary winged aircraft or fixed wing aircraft or something else?

What I hope to change, and what I believe will happen, is the execution will be better one extra year into what we're trying to get achieved. That should be significant. We do have a solid foundation, but when you implement a new offense, particularly one that is as intricate and complicated as the West Coast offense, it takes time. You will see tremendous strides and progress from year one to year two.

We've got to stop them now. Once they get a foothold, Palm Coast is no longer going to be a haven for people to move into.

We've gone through quite a 24 hours. Our Gulf Coast has been beaten and battered.

We think Dennis will turn up the East Coast and with any luck will miss everything, but it will come close enough where we'll worry about it. In three days it can be on almost any of us.

Today, I am delivering to you ... another awesome responsibility, the care of one of our nation's finest treasures, the United States Coast Guard,

Having back-to-back West Coast games is tough on your team, but I don't think we're the only ones to have it, so why complain? If you're a West Coast team and you have back-to-back East Coast games, that's tough, too. You just have to deal with it.

Gulf Coast teachers who have lost or left their homes due to Katrina's devastation are being forced to make important decisions on how to continue with their lives, ... Here in Florida we have a critical need for qualified teachers and that need increases each day as our state population grows and schools struggle to meet class size requirements. We welcome these evacuated teachers and students alike with open arms and waiving the certification fee is one small effort to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Gulf Coast played tremendous. They got some great individual performances from Ray Bailey and Robert Mitchell. We were just lucky that we made our free throws.

Her work is usually seen on the West Coast and the East Coast and not in the middle. In the middle we don't recognize her. I'm curious whether she'll deal with our sensibilities or be in our faces.

'Going Back to Cali' is one of my favorite songs because of all the East Coast - West Coast rivalry.

Golf is a centerpiece for the tourism industry in the Gulf Coast region and is responsible for generating millions of dollars in revenues and thousands of jobs. A golf course is no different than a restaurant or movie theater when it comes to hurricane relief.

Historically, we have had a West Coast and an East Coast show. After the last show, though, we did a lot of market research and it was obvious that the market wanted one show.

The Pac-10 looks forward to participating in the Hawaii Bowl. Hawaii is a wonderful destination for our student-athletes and our fans and Hawaii has an affinity with the West Coast that makes this a great fit for the Pac-10.

The Pac-10 looks forward to participating in the Hawaii Bowl, ... Hawaii is a wonderful destination for our student-athletes and our fans and Hawaii has an affinity with the West Coast that makes this a great fit for the Pac-10.

We manage the two (land-based) casinos, the Gold Coast and the Treasury.

We looked all over the West Coast and came to Mount Angel, and it was love at first sight.

We made progress today before being hit with the third storm, which knocked power out to more customers. It's been a huge impact. Earlier it was the Bay Area and northern counties that lost power, today it was the central coast in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, and in San Luis Obispo, more than 20,000 are without power.

Hurricane Katrina had no significant effect on first-quarter results, although the storm inflicted some damage to our facilities in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. Meanwhile, our operations have resumed in most of the affected areas except for sections of New Orleans.

Hurricane Katrina can only take you so far. Those kids from the Coast went through so much and just relied on playing basketball. We represented the Gulf Coast.

Hundreds of ships carrying hundreds of thousands of containers full of merchandise that retailers need for the holiday shopping season are sitting in the West Coast harbors, ... We need to start unloading those ships today.

Hundreds of reporters, in all media, did heroic work on the Gulf Coast in the deadly storm's aftermath. None arguably was as financially and symbolically important to his company as the job turned in by Williams. It could solidify his spot as network news' top anchor.

Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on southeast Florida and the Gulf coast states. The Red Cross is mobilizing on all fronts to bring relief to storm victims.

Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst natural disasters in our nation's history and has caused unimaginable devastation and heartbreak throughout the Gulf Coast region. A vast coastline of towns and communities has been decimated,

Hurricane Katrina only highlighted existing human rights violations that had been happening all along. Any time that along the Mississippi Gulf Coast people are still living in tents because they can't get their homes rebuilt or there is no housing for them, it's just really shameful. It's like we are living in a Third World country in the south.

Hurricane Katrina is wreaking havoc for southeast Florida and the Gulf coast states. The Red Cross will meet the challenge by doing what we do best - coming together to respond with tireless compassion to take care of our neighbors.

He was far more than just an outstanding announcer. He was a great goodwill ambassador for baseball in Canada. His love for the game, which radiated through his words on the radio, captivated fans across the country and helped to grow the sport from one coast to the other.

He clearly has the best access of any elected official in the country to the White House. And this is a White House plan to open Florida's coast to drilling.

Harrah's New Orleans is a vitally important property to us, and we want one of our most skilled operators at its helm. Jim's business acumen, operating experience and familiarity with New Orleans and the Gulf Coast make him the ideal person for this crucial task. I'm confident Harrah's New Orleans has a bright future ahead under his leadership.

I was looking for a rebound in imports as some of the activity along the Gulf Coast came back to normal.

I was in the process of tying it to my fishing rod, when I turn around and this Coast Guard boat was right behind me, ... It was the one thing I was hoping for and I guess it was like, 'Oh, well, here they are.'

Kevin has expressed an interest in returning to the West Coast to continue his education closer to home. We wish him nothing but the best of luck.

Keystone will deliver 830,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada, North Dakota, and Montana to Gulf Coast refineries.

I would still rather be in Silicon Alley. I like the West Coast also, but it's sort of fragmented. You have companies in downtown San Francisco, companies in Mountain View, and people are driving between them all. It's kind of nice in New York to just jump in a cab and reach another company so easily.

Katrina is a catalyst for these discussions because of CSX's commitment to helping the Coast recover and because of the obvious need to resolve this question in the near-term. We're talking about another east-west thoroughfare for traffic. We've got to know whether that's viable in the near-term; we can't wait years.

Katrina could reach category-one hurricane strength before the center reaches the southeastern coast of Florida.
