Since the bus, a lot of people go to Florida who wouldn't if they had to hire a driver.

Since joining Beck in 1976, Ellison's leadership and philosophy of making the customer number one has significantly strengthened the company. Now it is time to replicate his success in Florida in our international operations.

Minooka will be our first foray into the Midwest industrial market. In addition to New Jersey, Florida and California, we consider the Chicago area one of our core regions for development.

Mr. Monroe acquired Florida from Spain, extending the same guarantee to the inhabitants which Mr. Jefferson had to those of Louisiana.

Mr. Underwood has simply exercised his legal right to make a contribution as provided by Florida statutes.

Mr. and Mrs. Baker were consummate professionals who taught us a lot that we didn't get through our classroom training. Mr. Baker was a father figure to me, and he was an inspiration to a lot of graduates who went on to own their own drugstores in Florida and throughout the nation.

My initial reaction is no, it will not bankrupt the companies. Florida passed a law that if companies have to post a bond to pay huge punitive damages, it's capped. But that law has not been tested.

Nelson said today he'll do everything possible, including new specific legislation, to block Interior Secretary Gale Norton from carrying out the oil industry's agenda over the wishes of the people of Florida and many other coastal states.

One telling statistic is that, of the 100 fastest-growing counties, 15 are in Florida -- and that's more than any other state.

Obviously we've got yet another game where we're catching a team at a tough time coming off a tough loss and it seems like we've made a habit of that so far in the league season. Florida is always one of the most difficult places to play in the league. ... It will be a difficult task.

My first death penalty victory--made on behalf of the single most offensive legal argument I've ever made. There was no doubt in my mind, in the minds of my colleagues in the public defenders' office or in the minds of ... the Florida Supreme Court that domestic homicide cases tended to be treated very differently from stranger killings.

My dad gave up a vacation in Florida for this.Trust me, for him that's amazing.

Moses seemed real and approachable because much of what he encountered was familiar to me. He was responsible for leading the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt, thanks in large part to a convincing series of plagues, many of which prompted shudders of recognition from a Florida native.

My dad loved the trees and taking care of the yard. He loved flying and parachuting. He was trying to go to Florida to do some free-fall parachuting. He loved the grandkids. He was a nice guy, he was outgoing, he was always busy; he didn?t like to sit still. He was very friendly and polite.

Maybe it was Florida State's time. I think we had the better team, but I think they played better.

Maybe FSU stands for Finland State University because there are hardly any Seminole fans here. You'd think with the game being in Florida that there would be more FSU fans, but it's about 85 percent Penn State. This is a home game for us. It's awesome!

Now that Doral's a World Golf event, I think there's a strong likelihood we will kick off the Florida Swing, but I don't know that.

Obviously, we are disappointed that there might be any further delay. However, we remain committed to working with the state of Florida and Palm Beach County to make Scripps Florida an even greater success that it already is,

Obviously, it didn't start off pretty at 2-3 and tied against Kentucky at halftime. The ball started bouncing our way, defense started getting some fumbles, making things happen and obviously the Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida games were fun for the entire team.

Obviously someone of his caliber, we'd be interested in what he could give back to the community as opposed to fines or jail time. Now with his Florida problems, we certainly have no interest in him speaking to anyone (as part of community service). We're simply looking to get a conviction.

Right now, I would think this is a pretty strong signal that executions in Florida may not occur until the Hill case is decided. However, there are no guarantees.

Next year will be a really bright year for the Florida Panthers. The Panthers are on the right track, have their house in order and have the hockey guys in charge.

Noah has such incredible length and such incredible athletic ability, he doesn't risk much by coming back. I can't imagine he would be hurt by coming back to school. He's going to get better as a player at Florida under Billy Donovan than he will as a rookie in the NBA.

I was solicited to move to Florida and the Carolinas, but nobody ever gave me a presentation as to how me moving to any other region of the country was going to be better for the earnings of Birds Eye.

I was skeptical of that call, but the officials didn't cost us the game. It was a great game, and Florida made the plays it had to make.

I wouldn't say we're carrying the banner for the SEC, but we're doing our part. Florida has been the team that's jumped up and said, 'Hey, look at us.' That's not us. But we like where we are.

I would say 10 years ago, we were at the bottom of the scale. We've gone up to the middle of the pack. Now we are way better than states like Texas, Florida and Louisiana that have a lot worse catastrophes than we do.

I would expect you won't see very many new natural gas-fired plants in Florida in the foreseeable future.

I guess in Jacksonville, residents are responding quite differently than South Florida residents because they have not been through a direct hit.

I graduated from Yale in 1969, from the University of Florida Law School in 1974, and passed the Colorado bar and was admitted in 1975.

If they have similar course requirements, they have a similar certification exam and they're certified, why make them go through the standards that may be one or two courses different just for Florida where it doesn't really make the difference between a quality teacher and a teacher that's less qualified,

I have great respect for Bobby Bowden and what he's done for college football. His teams play with enthusiasm. I've coached Florida State kids (in the NFL) and they believe in their program. It's a very competitive program.

I didn't watch it. You never really want to cheer for Florida in situations like that, but we really knew we couldn't take the chance of another team slipping in there and taking the automatic bid and taking away from our chances.

I'd just came back from Florida two days before, sometimes you don't have time to get everything unpacked, ... I didn't put the shoulder bag away ... and I got caught.

I am Exhibition B. Joe is Exhibition A. That's all we are. There's a game in there somewhere -- Penn State and Florida State are playing.

I am by principle concerned that our country's future will be jeopardized because such an education scheme will further divide the country. Utah's schools are good; they are not struggling like the Washington D. C. schools are where vouchers were recently enacted. The recent Florida Supreme Court ruling indicates serious constitutional questions if the Legislature adopts a program where the state even indirectly supports a second private educational system.

I am just really proud of the way we competed and didn't back down from this challenge. Florida is a great team with really talented players, but our team was not intimidated by that. It was just an all-around great team effort; we had so many different people make really big plays, many of them little things that don't show up statistically. But in such a close match, all of those little things are important. It just illustrated the tremendous fight and character of this team.

I apologize to Venezuela. They know how much I love my country, but I cannot accept what they proposed to me. I respect the Florida Marlins because they tried to push Miguel Cabrera into third base, but this is not spring training. This is a big competition and you represent your country.

Catching behind the plate, you don't ever really look into the stands, ... I could feel the energy behind me. When I played in the Florida State League, let's just say places were fan-challenged.

Central Florida will be another tough test for us. They are playing extremely well and are very talented.

But this race is simply too close to call, and until the recount is concluded and the results in Florida become official, our campaign continues.

Bush raised money up to that level, then stopped and allowed the party to take over the funding of the campaign and the advertising. After that point, public financing in Florida has not really been doing what it was meant to do in the beginning.

Business is beginning to pick up in South Florida along the east coast, but there's been no panic-buying yet.

Basic fairness means the displaced people in Florida should be handled the same as those in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Basically it's a marketing test. If you go to our Web site sometimes you'll see we've got different price points we're trying out for Florida residents. Similar situation: Let's pick some people, send them a ticket and see how many of them come. It tells us who's watching. And chances are, someone who brings a ticket and uses it is not going to come by themselves.

I live on a boat, which is in the midst of renovation... I figure the good Lord will put me in the right place and hopefully I'll have the right clothes on. I think what we're going to do is bring the boat through the Panama Canal. My husband has always wanted to do that. So I think we'll do that and have the boat in Florida for the winter.

I have been loyal to our Republican leaders here in Florida and in our nation's capital - from Jeb Bush to President George Bush. ... And I have been loyal to the Republican Party and my constituents who elected me to work tirelessly for their best interest. Today I am asking you to return that same loyalty to me by helping fund my U.S. Senate campaign.

I have been in the business for more than 40 years and I've always heard Florida is going to run out of rock. We continually find and are able to use lower grade phosphate, which even 20 years ago we would never have dreamed of using.

I did my undergrad at Florida State, got a Bachelor's, and then I got my Masters in Acting at NYU. So I've spent a lot of time in the classroom.

I did it in Virginia and Minnesota. I don't think that will be an issue. I think certainly everyone in the nation has been keeping tabs on what Florida is doing over time, and in many cases trying to emulate that.

I can't imagine South Florida without Leavitt. South Florida wouldn't be the same. Everybody else can leave. Leavitt has to stay.

Getting swept by Florida is no moral victory. It's embarrassing. Getting swept by anybody at home is embarrassing.

Give Florida State credit. They continued to attack. They didn't quit.

Four justices of the Florida State Supreme Court have distorted the judicial process into nothing more than a mechanism for providing Mr. Gore with the victory he was unable to win November 7. This ruling not only contradicts, but assaults, the most basic principles of jurisprudence,

From Day 1, it's been Florida and no one else.

From what we've seen, many people love this product and swear by it. Putting Safe Sea out there to South Florida residents creates more publicity for the lotion. It'll assist our company as well, since we're relatively new.

Fully insured or self-insured Florida public entities will now have the opportunity to experience custom designed insurance programs, exceptional claims management, integrated managed care and excellent customer service.

I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.

I don't think he would have visited Florida on the last weekend before signing day if he wasn't serious about them. But he can still only choose one team, and I think he ends up choosing Alabama.

If a kid can play at Division III and you tell Florida about him, it won't help and it will hurt your reputation. The next time you have a player, they won't listen.

I enjoyed about 25 minutes of that game. For that time we matched the intensity of the Florida Lady Gators. But at that time their energy stepped up - probably because of the mistakes we made - and they were consistent.

For us, I don't believe Florida has ever been ranked No.1 as a team, and I know I've never had a chance to coach a team, even for a week, a team that's been No. 1. I'd like to have that. I know it doesn't mean much, but it's good to send to recruits.

Glades Day has those old Florida values. They treat you like family.

If we tag a shark out here and it shows up in the Florida Straits, that's pretty cool.

If the Supreme Court came out and found the Florida Supreme Court erred and we were told Vice President Gore were going to say, 'I've capitulated,' we'd probably hold back,

If the energy committee chairman wants to make the issue of drilling off Florida an agenda item, so be it; let's talk about it.

If someone wants to say, 'What Florida has done to this point in time means absolutely nothing... the regular season doesn't mean anything... the Southeastern Conference tournament championship means nothing.' That's fine.

If it's 12 hours later than we're predicting, it could end up farther up the coast. If it's 12 hours sooner, it could end up farther south, maybe in the Keys or not even make landfall in Florida at all,

I always felt we were a national contender. Even though we're not in the rankings, I feel no one should want to play us in the tournament. . . . We'll start with Florida and go from there.

I always planned on being a head football coach. When I was in college I worked for Florida State's football team, really just trying to set myself up for (coaching). When I got to Mitchell, I always liked basketball. I decided to help out. I was an assistant for a year. I already had gotten to know the kids and the job fell in my lap.

I always liked Florida and the opportunity came up to acquire this business, which wasn't too dissimilar to what I was doing in the UK.

He has extensive experience in the state of Florida with relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts.

He did an outstanding job - as good a job as anybody in the league over the last five years. He was very difficult to prepare for - for any team in our league, not only Florida State.

He is an extremely tough individual, playing hard despite leaky pass protection, and that's being generous. He rises to the occasion, nearly upsetting Florida almost on his own, and leading Vanderbilt to victory over hated rival Tennessee .

He is a five-star prospect, and we only give out 50 in the entire country. He is the No. 6 overall lineman, and that is an impressive number this year. The country is loaded with linemen; North Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia's top prospects are all offensive linemen.

He moved to Florida to start a new life.

We feel honored to be a part of this meet. Breast cancer has touched many lives and we want to help in the fight against this disease. Although Florida and Alabama are rivals in the Southeastern Conference, on Jan. 20, the teams will be unified as they try to make a difference by raising breast cancer awareness.

There is huge demand for waterfront homes. Right now, if you look at the Florida coast, the Jersey shore you see second-home buying driving appreciation.

The people that remember the Dukes now live in Florida and are out on the shuffle board court.

We talked about what would be fun and what would be worthwhile. We were thinking about maybe something like Habitat for Humanity. But everything was either out of our price range or beyond our time frame. Then one of the Campus Crusade members talked to us about either going to Panama City, Florida or New Orleans to help out with Katrina relief and we felt New Orleans would be worthwhile.

We're pretty confident we're going to be able to get the building up and running quickly. As you all know, the majority of South Florida is without power right now inclusive of our building. There will be great issues with the ice if we don't get that power on as quickly as possible.

We told them that Florida is our first choice, but we have no deal yet.

We've got to make sure we pick our guys back up and still be demanding, still be encouraging. Florida is having a great season.

We've followed the same pattern that Visit Florida showed, with regards to last fall. We were down in the fall.

We support a vigorous program of enforcement by state and federal officials to ensure that our products are used safely. Today's actions by the state of Florida demonstrate that regulatory officials continue to monitor and enforce the nation's rigorous pesticide laws. By following EPA's rules, we are confident that both public health and the environment are protected. This is proof that the regulatory system works and violators will not be tolerated.

We thought we had a shot at him. But it's tough to get those South Florida guys away from Miami.

We are extremely pleased and proud to partner with the State of Florida in support of NASA's CEV program. The point of final assembly and testing for each mission will be critical to the viability of NASA's CEV program and the ideal location to do that is here in Florida adjacent to the launch site. Florida has an extremely talented existing workforce with the skills, experience, dedication and track record to meet the challenges and requirements of NASA's human spaceflight program. They also have facilities that can support the highly specialized work that the new Crew Exploration Vehicle will require. And co-location here in Florida with NASA's launch operations offers the greatest value at an overall affordable cost that is essential to the long-term success, safety, reliability and sustainability of NASA's CEV program.
