I said to my husband, what will Slava be worth in five years? Every day people pay $30,000 for a new car and trade it off in a few years, but what will he be worth?

People who live from abundance feel that there is more than enough of everything in the world to go around. More than enough money, food, work, material things, more than enough love. Why do they feel that way? Because they see that they themselves are enough. They are not dependent on external influences to make them feel more whole and complete.

It fills a little niche; nobody's ever written about this before in this way because it's a book about a serious subject but told with such a respectful, light touch.

Home was quite a place when people stayed there.

The main thing I try to do is write as clearly as I can. Because I have the greatest respect for the reader, and if he's going to the trouble of reading what I've written -- I'm a slow reader myself and I guess most people are -- why, the least I can do is make it as easy as possible for him to find out what I'm trying to say, trying to get at. I rewrite a good deal to make it clear.

The previous worst hurricane season was in 2004. We raised $135 million then. With Hurricane Katrina, thanks to the incredible support of the American public, we raised $2.116 billion, and we have spent 90 percent of that. Who was ready for 600,000 people who had no place to go?

We sell the fact that it's the Loud House. It's 50,000 people but when that place is full, it's the loudest place in the country. I think it's a novelty, more kids haven't played indoors and they kinda like that.

We changed the name because of the mission of our church to reach out to people who are un-churched, those who are far away from God. Sometimes denominational names can raise barriers for people.

We're going into this game thinking worst-case scenario that Christen doesn't play. We go into the week like every week preparing our kids the best we can for whoever is on the field. I'd like to think that we're not a one-man team.

In some ways, it's not the professional music making you hear up at Ithaca College and Cornell. On the other hand, this is really coming from the hearts of people who live this music every week.

In addition to testing for analytical abilities, which current tests do, we also want to test for practical abilities such as common sense, problem solving, ability to work with people and creative abilities, because we know, especially in business, creativity is crucial to new products and service development,

If there was a federal election I was going to consider running for mayor because a lot of people were asking me. I said if there was an election prior to November I would likely do that. I would seriously consider it at that point,
