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.

I can't overemphasize the importance of equipping ourselves to respond quickly and flexibly. As problems spread across countries and if new countries are confronted with the challenge, it will be terribly important that financing can respond to those changes,

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.

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.

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

For about 24, 25 minutes we played real hard. They just have so many good players. That's the difference between their team and our team. They have seniors who are real athletic, real experienced.
