Based on tests that were done late last week -- with some increase in the bacteria counts -- we decided to postpone that project for another week just to be cautious.

From the reactions we've had so far, we are encouraged. It appears to be an effective way to deal with water quality that is relatively benign. We will be getting a more formal report later, but the preliminary indications we heard have been very encouraging.

We support the general concept of a World Cup but like everything else with Twenty20, there are more questions than answers and we'd like a bit more time to look at everything.

Our records don't show that we have done an inspection, but it doesn't mean an inspection has not been done.

We encourage fishers to attend the meetings and to give us their input on existing bottom-fish restricted fishing areas and on the recommended changes.

We believe these workshops are timely and necessary to inform government agencies, businesses, landowners, home-owners and community associations on the latest approaches to protecting our precious coastal resources.

We're not trying to stop people from enjoying the island or the place, but there are more appropriate times.

We're not estimating when it's going to be safe.

We advise the public to avoid trails or streams during the stormy conditions due to dangers from flash flood. People should also avoid crossing high, swift flowing water on roadways.

We are keen to play more cricket against India, both in Tests and one-day internationals.

We won't sit down with the Prime Minister's office until much closer to the day to look at the young rookies. The Prime Minister has a very hands-on role in this too,

The experience does not have to include the swim-with program.

We understand (the Federal Government) intends to have a look at the tax treatment given to major international sporting events with a view to understanding Australia's competitiveness in bidding for them.

We would ask people not to go hiking in weather.

There continues to be growing interest in the range of actions that can address coastal erosion and hazard mitigation, regulatory issues and common questions regarding coastal land use, and these workshops will be very helpful for persons looking for solutions.

We are excited to make this presentation to discuss the most current and forward-looking initiatives.

While we focus a lot of our attention to terrestrial challenges, this project is helping us call attention to the fact that invasive species are all over; they're also in our oceans.

This (the Army Corps' role) has created an opportunity to get the emergency inspections across the state, and it's also an opportunity for our staff to deal one on one with specialists from across the country.

We think it's a nice public connection if it can be made to work. We all grew up with photos of Bradman walking on to the ground through the crowd. Still, we are conscious that we have to get it right. It would be nice not to lose that connection with the crowd, if possible.

We're working with the Department of Agriculture and others for a biological control, as well as a treatment program so that we can stop the impact of the gall wasps.

We have every expectation that they will seek the permission of the property owner, but by this action, we've authorized them to be able to do that.

They announced they were building a new stadium in the middle of the season. They waited until Sept. 7 to demand a new lease for next season on their terms. We responded the same day to say we would be happy to sit down with them to discuss next season. We asked them to sign a non-disclosure agreement and they never came to the table.

It was working very well until the other night. It's a heritage-listed building so obviously there would be limitations to building the kind of tunnels or tubes that are in effect at other grounds.

The state has not inspected it, but I'm not sure about what any other inspections have happened. That's the concern, so in order to -- I don't know when it was last inspected.

The survey results surprised us because we had no indication that the public wants food concessions in state parks,

Right now we have a variety of people evaluating the Round Top area.

Anyone buying an on-sold ticket faces the prospect of being banned from admission. If it is determined they are not the original purchaser, we have a legal right to ban them.

This is a special type of cleaning because we're concerned about the potential raw sewage that's in and amongst the material that's here.

The West Indies have concerns about having two marquee events back to back, they would prefer to spread them out, and frankly that makes sense.

It's all part of the plan to erect the stage and tents. Our staff has been there checking on the progress.

It just got too hard. It works a lot better if we do this on December 2 instead of January 27.

It may be the first step. We still are holding internal discussions on it and it would be healthy to have a broader discussion that includes the Judiciary, title companies and others.

The No. 1 complaint of state park users is that restrooms are not clean or are damaged. We are cleaning and sanitizing our park comfort stations and performing some renovations throughout our park systems.

It's my belief and understanding that everyone in government will be seeking the permission of the private property owner to enter. And we expect full cooperation and so far have been receiving full cooperation.

The bigger concern is there's raw sewage that intermingles here and attaches itself to this material, and we need to get that out of the harbor -- and let's let the water flush everything else out as it typically does.

The Aussie players are going to want to play in front of Australians. We confidently expect that most people in the stands will be Australians barracking for Australia. That's the way it should be, because it's our country.

It's important for us to have a place in the world where we don't take something.

I am not directly opposed to the fact that they are recruiting high schools, but the means they go about it to get students to sign up for the military,

I am not opposed to all military activities, like in Hurricane Katrina and natural disasters like that, ... But the recruiting process, I think, can be dishonest and some of the violent acts in the military have not been addressed by the (mainstream) news. A lot of problems could be solved if (the military) started teaching tolerance and getting rid of stereotypes.
