Gold Beach looked better than they did the first two games.

Hopefully this settlement will encourage every restaurant, store and gas station in Myrtle Beach to remain open this year for Black Bike Week, just as they are during Harley Week.

We match up better against Karch and Lambert than we do against Stein and Jake,'' said Rogers, an 11-year beach veteran who won his 11th title in his 23 championship match.

Huge volumes of sand have been wiped off the beach. The beach has had a dramatic vertical elevation change. It wiped the beach flat.

He was great about going right ahead and doing it. At the end of the Cross show, he did a Beach Boys medley. It was a great part of the show. It made the fans excited and happy, as they stood in the rain.

I adore Palm Beach and feel very comfortable here. Women here know a lot about jewelry, but I think they appreciate the color and quality of my pieces.

I also come from a tourist beach community that kind of knows to cover things up for the sake of tourists, so I'm a little wary for that reason, too.

Heck, nobody wrote an article on us in five years and now we have people coming by practice to take pictures. This is all new to us. (Two-time state champion) Satellite Beach usually gets all the attention over here.

has calluses older than McCann. The kid was 83 days old when Clemens broke in with the Red Sox. He was still in diapers when Clemens won his first Cy Young Award (1986). He went through puberty and had already discovered the joys of being a young man laboring in Rome and Myrtle Beach by the time Clemens had Nos. 2-7.

Half of our bullpen drives pickup trucks, ... They go hunting. They don't go to South Beach on their off days.

Josh is a quality hitter, and against Long Beach it showed that we can not afford to have his bat out of the lineup. So until his arm is well, against quality opponents we're going to have to have Josh either play left field with a long relay man or play first base. His bat has got to be in the lineup.

I suspect it would relieve some of the pressure on Bonita Beach Road,

I think it is a fine line. Again, you have to look at the assets we have that are in a lot of ways much closer to Virginia Beach and Norfolk than some of the western parts of Hampton Roads in consideration. It might provide the advantage of getting Toyota here in the expanded Hampton Roads region. It's one more good alternative.

It can see things the size of beach balls.

It also seems to be in distress. It has made two seemingly deliberate attempts to beach itself.

It could have the unintended consequence of making it harder to actually catch those who commit sexual offenses because they won't have ties to the community. They'll be like a shark biting someone close to the beach and disappearing into the ocean.

It is going to be funny for me to go into the clubhouse in Vero Beach and not know half the players. In fact, I really wish we had the names on the back of the uniforms more than ever this year.

I think we just want to be on a beach and around cute girls.

I think beach nourishment is used to help sell housing projects and protect the towns' tax base. People have this idea of the Outer Banks as a wild, wind-swept destination and an artificial beach will take away that lure which in turn could hurt the economy.

It goes way beyond beach restoration issues. It really deals with looking on a long-term basis how we allow development on our coastal areas.

I think that the competition is very solid. That, coupled with the great fields and the weather (makes it appealing). And the beach doesn't hurt either.

It isn't going to get any bigger. We're limited on space. Hey, Cocoa Beach is a small town. Now we're focusing on increasing the quality of surfing, boosting the prize purse and creating more family fun.

It is like closing all the gas stations in Palm Beach County because the price of gas is too high. It just doesn't make any sense.

It is just a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can go to the beach any day,

I went on the South Beach Diet for it. I trained for six days a week, two-and-a-half hours a day. I was determined to look good in those shorts.

I will not be satisfied until all veterans in Palm Beach County and the surrounding area get the care fitting of the service they provided to our country, ... I don't think that's happening right now.

I think they should make it bicycle and golf-cart parking only. Eliminating the auto parking would ... make it more of a beach facility.

J.Crew embodies the customer in Palm Beach and particularly in North Palm Beach. It's a classic customer, it's a relaxed customer, but it's an affluent customer.

Last Saturday morning, the day of the game (the Big West tournament final against Long Beach State, a 78-70 victory), I get a call from my dad. My son's wife just had our first granddaughter back north (in Walnut Creek), so as soon as the game ended, I had some pizza with the players and went to bed, and the next morning at 5:30, I drove back up to see them, had to go 101 because the Grapevine was closed, and then drove to Stockton for the selection show. I haven't had time to celebrate, but I'll be able to celebrate that every day.

Ironically, only ten months prior to this sentencing, Roscoe Tanner and I sat down for an interview at the beautiful La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club in Southern California. This is the last public interview given by Roscoe Tanner. From an editorial perspective, this interview is something we at RadioTennis.com are quite proud of. Only Sports Illustrated Magazine, Tennis Week Magazine and RadioTennis.com have attempted to document the life and times of this former athlete. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons, this interview continues to gain international interest.

I remember when they first said we were going to go to Stockton to do the game for Pacific and Long Beach State, ... We did a couple of Long Beach State games, but they said Stockton, California, Pacific and I thought, 'Where?'

Pebble Beach was the ideal site for the Bing Crosby event and Augusta National is, of course, the perfect site for The Masters. Wynn Las Vegas is the perfect location for The Ultimate Game. We are honored Steve Wynn would select our event to be played on his course.

Pebble Beach is the mecca of golf courses. It is one of the top three or four courses in the United States. For golfers, it's a real feather in their cap.

Our kids have been talking about Laguna Beach the last couple of weeks,

Panama City Beach was the smart guys - they have an engineered beach. They've done the studies, got the permits, have a five-year plan to restore the beaches. We tried to get that done, but, unfortunately, we didn't. I just hired a beach project manager.

Palm Beach County does not want to create wars between cities.

Our football program is honored to represent Palm Beach County and the state of Florida. We look forward to bringing 'Raider Nation' football to South Carolina.

Our vision is that the service providers at the beach will become ambassadors for downtown businesses. There will be no effort to contract with service providers that directly compete with downtown businesses.

People who stopped at the gates of the Casino before now can traverse through, and when they get to the Asbury side, see a vibrant, lively, beach community.

People I have talked to kind of think Miami is shut down, with a curfew. People are canceling bookings. We have to get South Beach open. We have to take ads out to say Miami is open for business.

Sure, of course. My boys know I'm famous. They see me on the TV but they'd rather watch 'The Simpsons.' But I'm definitely a cool father. I take them to the zoo and the beach and the countryside and to buy them sneakers. I play soccer with them. I just taught them how to play chess.

Sure, I wish I was with my family. But I'm not going to complain about being on a beach when it's 80 degrees.

Someone said he should smile more in the practice session. On the walk on the beach with a number of (advisers) they had specific ideas on issues they thought their counterparts in communities would respond to.

That area between Miami and Palm Beach is a huge cluster of insurance values and exposure. A very slight increase in the winds can cause significant increase in losses. Right now we're slightly below the design wind speed. But a little faster, you hit values where you see more things start to fail.

Thankfully, Palm Beach Animal Care agreed to partner with us. They've been very supportive to us so far.

My volunteers are all ages. I have students from Palm Beach Atlantic University, working mothers and fathers, attorneys and retirees.

Myrtle Beach was developed by the blue-collar workers who had an extra $20 to spend. The new lifestyle is looking for people with $2,000 to spend. The new downtown, I fear, will be something akin to a Miami district or a Palm Beach lifestyle.

Myrtle Beach International Airport has continued to show impressive growth numbers and I am pleased to see these funds directed for maintenance of their infrastructure, ... As this airport grows, this money will help make sure they have the facilities necessary to keep up with demand.

Many couples choose not to marry so that they may preserve their social security, pension, and veterans benefits. And marriage is not an option for tens of thousands of gay and lesbian Palm Beach County couples in committed relationships.

Long Beach State just kept hanging around, even though we were dominating. We played very good defense and didn't turn the ball over as much as we did against them last weekend.

Long Beach Island doesn't have the adequate beach and dune system.

Long Beach has always been a very big event in racing. I think it is fantastic that we have been asked to come race here. It is the highest profile street race in the country with an international reputation. As the first street race, it's going to be new and pretty exciting. The most difficult thing will be finding places to pass cars. I think it will be a very good event.

I won there once, and I would like to do it again with Team Cadillac. The Long Beach race has a great atmosphere, a fun event with big crowds. It's an event that has a rich history, held on a track that became the first successful street circuit in the U.S. It's become a fixture in international racing.

I was in Bethany at about 7:30 a.m. and my estimate was waves of 3, possibly 4 feet. Virtually negligible beach erosion. It was the kind of thing you see in just a very minor blow. People could go out to the beach today and have a good time.

I was in Gulfport and Long Beach on Tuesday and was amazed at how much damage was done, ... But I was even more amazed at the response of people to help.

I still have the Triumph Palm Beach I was given for Christmas when I was 11. By today's standards, it is heavy and slow, but was my pride and joy at the time.

It does not look like Virginia Beach is outside the norm by any means. They are caught in a bind.

I think I had life on my pitches -- I wasn't throwing beach balls up there, ... I don't think I'm tired.

I think he sees this as a great opportunity, and he's going to make the most out of every day. He's in a position to move himself away. It's a dream. I'd love to make this a Pebble Beach situation.

I think moderation has never been in the Myrtle Beach vocabulary. Maybe we've discovered the word moderation. If you look at the growth it was just straight up, with the 42 courses opening in the 1990s. And the number of golfers was not increasing.

Most professors are about as exciting as standing in line at the grocery store. About the only thing I can compare him to would either be pizza, the beach or football. You know, even when it's bad it's good.

We need a ride. We're stranded." "We still have two legs, leftie and rightie. Mine are in the mood for exercise. They feel like a nice long walk--ARE YOU CRAZY?" she shrieked. I was standing with the tip of the beach umbrella aimed at the driver's-side window. "What?" I said. "We have to get in.

Went to the beach for the day and wrote as much as I could about this incredible experience and where my life seemed to be taking me, etc. I fell asleep, and when I woke up the papers were blowing down the beach and into the water. I sat up and watched until I couldn't see one piece of paper left. I drove home and felt happy.

Two lost things that had survived the seas and arrived on a coastline. What did they do? They implanted themselves in the sand and grew into trees and lined the beaches. Sometimes a lot can come of being all washed up. You can really grow.

The Abbey up on 21st Street used to be at the far northern limit of South Beach action, but over the last two years the nightlife scene has expanded heavily into that area -- now known as the 'Cultural Arts District' -- and the Abbey finds itself right in the center of some of the hottest clubs in town such as Mynt, Rok Bar, SkyBar Miami Beach, and a new venue named Mokai which promises to be a South Beach trend-setter for the coming season,

The aptly named Long Beach Peninsula, 28 miles of sand, stretches like a beckoning finger along the Pacific Ocean at Washington's southwest corner. You won't find games or taffy stands on the Long Beach Boardwalk, just interpretive displays about the dunes, water and wildlife. But this low-key planked pathway parallels the beach, where kite fliers congregate year-round; the Washington State International Kite Festival is Aug. 15-21.

The analogy that I like to use is it doesn't do a lot of good to buy a condo on the beach that the mortgage is so high on it you can't put any furniture in it. You have no couch or TV. And a part of this process is to be able to inspect that condo and make sure that it's worth what you think it might be worth.

That will be super. That will be a big bundle of rooms. Right now, we have only five of 12 hotels open. It's not only the beach that's short of rooms, it's everyone else in town.

That was a great goal. Joey has been doing that for us all year. He is probably one of the top three sophomores in Palm Beach County.

That was an impressive front nine, wasn't it? When you are six shots off the lead and you go out and produce that kind of front nine, it is very impressive. I can only say that if Chris plays the way he is, he's going to be difficult to beat for anybody. Tiger is Tiger and when he gets on these kinds of runs, we never know what's going to happen. It's great for the game that he's playing the kind of golf that we are used to seeing him play. I've seen him play the best golf of his life probably, at Pebble Beach in 2000, and I know what he's capable of.

I was over in Orange Beach this past weekend and all people wanted to know was when was the Isle going to open. I've gotten calls at my home from Atlanta, Arkansas, Jacksonville, Fla., and Lafayette, La.

My brother, Bob Boots, is a construction battalion and has been for more than 20 years and his home base was Gulfport, Miss.. He had a house that was only 1,000 feet away from the beach. When we were there, we'd walk to the beach from his house.

Miami-Dade fared a lot better than Broward and Palm Beach specifically because of the preponderance of mast arms.

Members of the Palm Beach County dive team discovered the body of Jared McGuire in the retention pond just north of the residence. A positive ID has been made by our investigators working the case.

Who in their right mind is going to give us money for research if there's a risk it would go back to Palm Beach County?

We have outdoor dining so people can enjoy the beach atmosphere. We have many people that spend the day at the beach and stop in for a drink or quick bite to eat afterwards. We ask that patrons come here in upscale casual dress. No flip-flops, tank tops or cut-offs.

You know, I'm just a beach bum. I can go surfing all the time down on Huntington Beach and Malibu beach. I just hang out and surf with everyone down there. But I'll tell you, I hate it when the 16 year old kids surf a wave better than I do!

We continue to explore the possibilities of what can be done to remedy the unfairness of thousands of residents of Palm Beach County who believed they were voting for Al Gore, but had those votes calculated for Pat Buchanan, ... Our legal team has determined that the ballot in Palm Beach County was unlawful.

We really appreciate the city of Orange Beach for hosting us and for all their support along with the effort that goes along with hosting a first-class event. We appreciate the opportunity to play here each year and hope to continue to come back in the future.

We hung around and kept battling, but you've got to give New Smyrna Beach credit.

Whether you like it or not, progress is coming. I'd much rather have a 40-story-tall building in the middle of a piece of property with open spaces on either side for breezes and access to the beach than a five-story building built lot line to lot line like we have now where you never see the beach.

Without a good quality beach the local economy would undoubtedly suffer.

We're definitely chasing them. They're the best team in Palm Beach County.

We had filled our tanks up before and we intended to come to the beach anyway so it was planned for and we didn't want to disappoint the kids.

We had to stand in line from here to Long Beach to get food. That's how long the line was.

You are always working to try and make everything better and faster in racing. Bringing Jan on board for Long Beach will be a good addition. Jan is extremely fast and he and Max have driven together before at Le Mans. I think it will be a really good combination for this race.

We were going to meet him in Florida, have a barbecue on the beach and stuff.

Today was a strange day because we all came back from the holidays and it felt like everybody was still in the beach rhythm!

We get really busy between Memorial Day and Labor Day because there are all the fairs and amphitheaters and festivals going on all over the place, ... The Beach Boys are kind of synonymous with summer.

We haven't really come for a beach vacation because it's a lot cheaper to go to Spain or someplace like that.

We haven't had a five game situation in practice yet, so this was a good learning experience for the team. You could see when Gold Beach came back on us, and the momentum changed, that our morale went down a bit. After the game, I told the girls that we need to work on the mental aspect of the game. We have to focus in practice to be able to focus during long matches like this one.

The problem with Daytona Beach is it took me forever to get my kids thinking that their life isn't over if FSU, UF and Miami weren't after them. I think the coaches have stepped it up around here and realized that this is part of our job.

We are delighted to be in Europe, delighted for the supporters and delighted for the players. We are going away to enjoy the beach this summer and reflect on what we have achieved.

We'll never have the opportunity to have a place near the beach again, ... This was our dream. We thought we'd be able to leave it to our children.

Those of us who are sick and tired of cutting up animals on the beach are sick and tired of cutting up right whales. It's embarrassing the number of animals I've had to work up and it's unfathomable that we haven't been able to reduce these (deaths) more than we have.

We were in the eye of the storm. We were four miles from the beach at a neighbor's brick house. It was clear out, no breeze, nothing. Then all of a sudden the water came down the street like someone was dumping a big bucket. Thirteen-foot-high tidal waves were coming straight at us.

We are about to start picking in Homestead and the lower east coast, in Delray Beach and Pompano. Immokalee -- because it's colder -- will lag a few weeks behind.

The pilot was able to make his way - unassisted - to the beach where medical treatment was administered. He was taken to Auckland Hospital by ambulance.
