Accurate Quotes
We will continue to move forward in developing strategies that meet the needs of our U.S. Navy partners while causing the least disruption to Virginia Beach property owners. We remain committed to ensuring the decisions we reach in Virginia are based on accurate and objective data. We repeatedly implored the BRAC commissioners to make sure their actions in regard to the former Cecil Field were based on the same level of verifiable information and analysis that they seemingly applied when examining Oceana. I agree with Mayor Peyton that it is unfortunate the BRAC Commission's actions unfairly pitted two communities against each other.

Abuse Quotes
We keep finding out the hard way that private property rights aren't quite as sacred to some as they used to be. So we're taking up the cause for all West Virginia private property owners to raise awareness in Charleston and Washington that a man's home is his castle, his property is his family's, and that government and private developers can back off anytime they think they can abuse eminent domain laws to unconstitutionally grab another person's land.

Describe Quotes
When I worked as a prosecutor in Richmond, Virginia in the 1990s, that city, like so much of America, was experiencing horrific levels of violent crime. But to describe it that way obscures an important truth: for the most part, white people weren't dying; black people were dying. Most white people could drive around the problem.

Addition Quotes
We are excited about this year's schedule. The N.C. State game gives our fan base a marquee home game in September against a team from the ACC. We're also very pleased with the addition of Florida and Virginia Tech to our schedule, two of the top programs in the nation. Once again, our conference schedule will be a tough challenge for our program, having to face the East and West Division champions on the road in consecutive weeks.

Behind Quotes
While there is less overvaluation in these markets, relatively low employment in states like Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky are putting more homeowners in financial distress, These states are heavily dependent on the manufacturing sector of the economy, and that sector continues to lag behind others, like health care and professional services.

Both Quotes
This weekend will be a big weekend for us to see where we are as a team going into the start of the Big Ten season. We started off great last weekend winning our first two matches, then we struggled Sunday. Indiana has a very good program and they will be difficult to beat. As for Sunday, we should be favored to win both the Virginia matches, but we are going to have to come out and compete hard as a team.
-
Allow Quotes
Virginia enjoys an equal-to status with the federal government when it comes to meat inspection. Right now, Virginia runs the meat-inspection program because of that agreement. But if we were to allow the sale of products that weren't inspected or slaughtered in an approved facility, we would be less than equal in status with the federal government, so the federal government would take over our inspection program, and the inspectors on that level would be much more stringent.

Anywhere Quotes
We are a member club of the United States Fencing Association, which governs fencing throughout the country. That means we can hold tournaments and our members can go to tournaments. Many clubs throughout the country host tournaments on a fairly regular basis. Most tournaments are in Pittsburgh or State College, a few in Cleveland and Harrisburg or anywhere that's got fencing. We also go down to West Virginia frequently.

The young men who choose the University of Virginia look forward to the challenges ahead. 2006 promises to be a most exciting season.

Achieve Quotes
EPA has determined that existing regulations, coupled with the collaborative partnership outlined in the Chesapeake 2000 agreement, will get us results faster than developing new federal rules. Recent actions taken by Maryland, Virginia and other Bay partners will help to ensure that we achieve and maintain our restoration goals for the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
-
Carolina Quotes
The road games at Florida and Virginia Tech, the rivalry games with Tulane, UAB, Memphis and East Carolina and challenging games with conference newcomers, Marshall, UCF and Tulsa to our schedule is not only great for our fans and supporters, but also for the community of Hattiesburg.

Beating Quotes
I've said all year long that Virginia Tech is one of three or four best teams in the league. I really believe that, and I said that before they were a 45-footer away from beating Duke at Duke. ... I think they're an NCAA Tournament team at the end of the year, and I strongly believe that.

Add Quotes
The state unemployment rate probably won't go much lower than it is. I doubt it will get back to the mid-2 percent range that we had in 2001. Virginia is attracting people from other places. They are finding work pretty quick, but while they are looking for work, it does add to unemployment.
-
Bad Quotes
Teams are remembered by their last game. Our last game, we lost to Florida State, so we have to get that bad taste out of our mouths and go out there and do our job. We can be one of the greatest teams in Virginia Tech history and go out there and win 11 games. That's a big statement, so there's a lot on the line and we all know that.

Came Quotes
Personal fouls, sloppy plays and penalties, that's not us. I'm glad we came back and played like us in the second half. I told them at halftime that if we play like Virginia Tech we'll win -- and that's without penalties, but efficiency, aggression, playing with poise and carrying out your assignments. Louisville did a great job. We were lucky to win. We played more like Virginia Tech in the second half and I was proud of that. We gave great effort.

Auction Quotes
Offshore drilling could turn our beaches and coastal waters into an industrial zone. Rather than auction off our valuable coastline to oil and gas companies, Virginia should be leading the way with energy solutions that will sustain our energy needs and our economy far into the future.
