He's just very versatile. We can put him in basically (any event) and he has no problem with that and doesn't complain about it. He's good at everything.

He's already told us that he's going to be forceful and preemptive in rate hikes. And so this is basically an exclamation point . . . all it simply does is reaffirm what he has already said: higher rates.

Hopefully, we can work a few more fastballs in there. At the end of the year, I was able to locate my fastball better. That's what I've been working on in the side sessions. I've maybe thrown 10 sliders in the bullpen. I've been basically working on fastballs and being able to locate it and be aggressive. That's the one thing you'll see out of the whole bullpen this year is going after guys. You sit around and talk, and that's the mentality that it'll be.

He's a very smart guy, but he's basically carrying out the agenda of the pharmaceutical industry. His bill completely immunizes the drug industry from lawsuits.

He's a work horse and he basically beat us single-handedly. But we're not the first team he's done that to.

He's a straight-up, forward person. He's a drill sergeant. Out on the field I don't see him yell much, but he's a real serious person. Basically he tells us what to do and we get it done. Before the game he gives the best pep talks. ... He makes you want to go out and compete.

I feel like if we can use the combination of basically data-driven hunches and bet on really first-class talent to deliver the shows, that I think we could do as well as the networks do, who basically have a 75 to 80 percent failure rate for new shows anyway - even after all that development and pilot work.

What do you say to a man that basically murdered your husband? ... I'm just deeply sad. I'm not angry with him, just deeply sad.

What ends up happening is they basically beat each other up and use a lot of resources. When it comes time to run in the general election, Republicans have a little bit of an edge because they don't have to worry about the primary first.

Today I've basically laid down the gauntlet and said, 'I challenge you to come in and help too,

He came in basically because of his size.

He came into the game, basically because of his size. We spent (Friday) working with him pretty hard on learning our offenses. When he came in, we just shrunk our playbook down to a minimal amount. He just played tremendous, keeping it simple. That has to be the case and he did a good job.

He loves his wife so much that he thinks he is doing something to protect and save her, ... But what he's really doing is he's getting addicted to power. The more power he gets the more he wants and then once you do that, there's nothing left because you're willing to sacrifice everything. At the end of the day, Anakin sacrifices his family. He does fulfill his destiny after another 25 years and lets his son live and basically dies redeeming himself. But he goes through a lot of s--- and causes a lot of pain to people for a long time.

Helton will basically tell you there's 50 guys who show up at every racetrack, and he can get the job done with 43 of them, no problem at all,

He made a big play, obviously, last week blocking the kick to extend overtime. Then finishing the play today basically was the signature play of the game.

He made some very difficult shots. That ball basically didn't touch the rim and that is what they pay him for.

He had a great tournament last year. And he basically started this year right where he left off.

He hit 24 against a guy that was basically face-guarding him.

We've been together since May basically and sometimes it was hell and I wanted to quit hockey. Right now, having this medal around my neck, that's why I did it.

The purpose of a consent is basically to protect the doctor or protect the company that supplied the vaccine. And so that the patient really shouldn't be able to say 'please give me this vaccine' then turn around then sue the person that gives it to them. I think that's a wise precaution for the doctor to have in place.

He needs to lift weights, then basically continue to get better each day in practice. I think he's disappointed and he wants to try and get on the medal stand next year.

He (Loeb) has been in charge for a long time. He is basically ready to step down.

He made me a lot better actually, having someone to go through this whole thing with you is a lot better than going through it by yourself. You can't really slack because I know he's going to be working and I'm going to be working, so basically it helped me raise my game so I can compete at the next level.

He floated the idea -- he put up the money and the machine. Then he basically let what would happen happen.

He had a compression fracture, and so it basically kills the end of the femur, ... So what you have to do is try to get the blood circulation back to that area.

We just have to basically hope that we don't have a hurricane come back into the Gulf of Mexico this summer. We haven't fixed yet, by any stretch of the imagination, everything that got broken.

My schedule has been crazy ever since I got back, ... I basically just go with the flow.

My whole life has been basically trying to find intelligent students or, you know, highly motivated students and giving them an opportunity to do good science.

My own sense is we basically got it right,

My strategy was to take it at them strong because she (Davenport) is not going to block everything. I basically tried to go out there and play with no fear, because if you're afraid of them that's when you're going to start making little mistakes.

My training is basically for dialing in my style and my airs, cleaning everything up and pushing myself to go faster in the bumps. John Rice has pretty much given me his mountain. He not only gave me a pass, but the whole mountain to use for training. I am very blessed to have such an amazing ski area as my backyard.

I watched my tapes from earlier this season, and I knew what I had to do. Basically I wanted to keep it close until the third period.

Looking at our new district, it gives us opponents we're basically familiar with, ... If we get by those teams, however, it will be a new game, so to speak, facing the other district's teams in the region.

My mode of presentation is short-form video - basically I create fast cut, impassioned 'idea explainers' that explode with enthusiasm and intensity as they distill how technology is expanding our sphere of possibility.

Marketers are basically used to a spray-and-pray kind of world ... and hope it reaches the right audience -- and they are taking the same type of approach online. We have clients that have as many as 12 different agencies, and none of them talks to each other.

Market players are sensing the U.S. may be scaling back their commitment to a strong dollar. I think the dollar is basically falling in the near future.

Markets are basically in a holding pattern. We had some good economic numbers, but it's Friday ahead of a long Christmas weekend so people aren't going to make much a commitment.

Look, June and July the market basically crashed. Everything got washed out and everything was going to rally after that. So we're seeing a little bounce here -- people shouldn't get too carried away by it.

Margins and revenue were better than feared. Inventories did go up as we expected but they basically are not far off from where they were last year.

Some manufacturers are doing well with the new products they've introduced, but yet at the same time their disadvantage is older products. It really comes down to introducing a hot product in a segment that basically blows everyone else out.

Some of the players are on the fence, so to speak, and have their last opportunity to show - basically the European-based players. For our players it's also very good for them to be in a venue where they also get to play Italy and feel somewhat comfortable in this venue before we actually come back for our final preparations.

That allowed the Canadian dollar to basically move back toward the 14-year high that we saw in early March.

That basically allows companies that are already emitting levels that are above a health-based standard to go on without having to install pollution-control technologies.

That basically ended his combat career. Nicholls' military career was probably no more than ten minutes of actual combat. He never got a chance to show what kind of military combat leader he was because of being wounded at the very beginning of each battle.

That basically sets up a chain of events that will allow a blood clot to form near the hole or in it and then be pushed into the brain by the prime minister's own heart beat.

That basically tells you you've performed all year long. It's kind of a bonus. Some guys say they want to earn it like everybody else, but you have earned it, in my eyes, if you've bowled great all year long and you're in the top four.

Irving has been training and from what I understand he is healing quite well. Batting-wise we still have to see how it goes but from what I understand things seem to be okay. His finger was given two to three weeks to heal and that time is about up. So basically I feel that he is okay.

Some of these ministers, while well-meaning and basically honest, are hampered in their ability to take advantage of the international assistance coming in by a lack of people who are able to implement programs.

Some of the situations that they would be useful in would be during search and rescue operations, ... The camera basically picks up heat information and shows us where it's emitting on the screen inside the patrol car.

Regardless of what you all were told, when you basically tell somebody with six games left that they?re not going to be here next year, I think it?s pretty tough to finish the year out.

Sure I'd like to get them a win, but we basically started from scratch and have a lot of girls who never even played the game before. So I'm really concentrating on teaching them the basics of the game right now.

Pilot season can be maddening. You're basically putting yourself and your talent out there to be scrutinized several times a day for months by network executives who have probably never acted in anything since their junior high school production of 'The Wiz.'

Our position is that basically there is adequate competition in the market, which is already bringing these prices down.

Our rent has gone from $1,000 a month to $2,500. That's basically our whole budget.

Partway through the process, we threw up a flare and said, 'We think we've made a mistake. We think we should design for 400 watts per square foot.' And we were basically laughed out of the room,

Particularly over the last year, anti-virus (programs) have lost a lot of their effectiveness. They are basically no longer capable of keeping up with the proliferation of new viruses.

Patents are basically rights to try and develop a commercial product.

Our rebounding was basically non-existent tonight, and I'm very disappointed in the way we played. Noel had it going and their entire team really played well, but we certainly helped their cause.

Our offense hasn't changed a whole lot from when we played them last time. We've got two new guards, but basically there's a lot of guys returning - and we had 190 yards rushing against them and we controlled the game with our running game. I think they have to be concerned about that. I know they don't want to have that happen to them again.

Pavel and Hank are two young players who are very, very important to our franchise. In Hank's case, he's really coming into the prime of his career. I'm happy he made a long-term commitment; basically we bought ourselves one year of unrestricted free agency.

People have been basically staying away from them. The citizens need to keep up the good work of letting the professionals handle it pesticide companies and us.

Orange had one of the better programs in the state. One thing I remember was how he had an offensive and defensive system that basically was the same every year. The kids knew what to do. It was like playing a machine.

People have had the idea to do a '90s alternative tour for a long time. I didn't come up with that; I was the first guy to basically say it was time.

I see kids and young adults walking the streets of L.A. with this enormous sense of entitlement, who seem to think that if they are basically good people and pay their bills, then the world will be good back to them. And I think life isn't always like that.

I saw it many years ago back home. I tried it a couple of times in practice just for fun. And I saw that Olie was basically unbelievable. Everybody tried everything - shots, moves - and basically nothing worked. So I said maybe that's going to surprise him a little bit. And it did.

I will just go out there and have a good time and just keep doing the same thing I have been doing. Go out there, hit it in the fairway, knock it on the green and make the putt. Just another day of golf, that is the way you have to look at it. That is basically all you are doing, just playing golf. Almost everybody out here does it every day so you just have to think that way.

I went without health insurance until 'Roger & Me,' basically - from about age 20 till about age 35. With 'Roger & Me,' I joined the Directors Guild and the Writers Guild, and since then I've had excellent health care managed by the union.

I was able to setup the system so that I get a full set of account numbers and contact information for each payment. It used to take me hours to reconcile all of the receipts. Now it is basically automatic.

I was a little upset for the girls giving up the goal just because basically a girl was allowed to stand there with nobody really trying to play her and gave her a free hit on the net. Even though it came from about 30 yards out as a big high ball, we got a little lazy in the middle and against good teams we can't allow that to happen.

I think a lot of people might consider humans to be at the pinnacle of evolutionary lineage -- that we have achieved an advanced state as a species, and we have basically become the end-game. But what we found indicates that the species -- particularly when it comes to the brain, which is perhaps our most defining feature -- is still evolving.

I think that decision has basically been made.

I think what we saw yesterday (Tuesday) was a bounce in the bear market. It could continue. There's no question there are going to be sharp rallies all the way along in here. But I think the trend has been as long as the Fed has been active, we've basically seen a down market with some rallies in it.

I think what you have for the last two years is basically what you're going to have this year: perhaps a little bit better (sales).

I think what the detectives are looking to do is just basically enhance the chain of custody of that gun for evidentiary purposes.

I think what we did was basically say there's not anything new here. If there's nothing new, the only thing that's going to come out of it is we're going to deny it or you guys can come down and try to reach an agreement between the parties.

I think we should have basically the same tax policy that Germany, Japan, the U.K., everybody else has, which is a tax rate in the mid-20s and no loopholes. Zero. The U.S. has the most antiquated tax system. And that means some people are going to pay more taxes, and some people are going to pay less.

I think we started pushing the ball and defensively kind of stepped up our pressure. Basically we just stepped up the intensity and were able to push the ball a little bit and get some transition buckets.

Last year basically they offered anybody who was breathing in North Carolina. This year they did a good job of finding guys they could develop a relationship with.

Last year Duke had a monster recruiting class. This year North Carolina has a monster recruiting class. These two teams, with the way their personnel is rigged, should basically alternate Final Four appearances.

Jihad did a good job pressuring the ball and making some shots. Basically he came up and played hard and picked up where everyone else was lacking.

I think so. We're basically working with seven or eight kids that we feel are varsity-level pitchers.

I think the reason why it works first of all is there's a different level of trust. And basically we both share the same vision. It's a warped vision, but we share it. And I think that we're able to protect that vision more, because the people that come at you try to get you to water down what it is that you see. And that is something that happens.

I think everyone got their head down because we were playing all right, we were doing well and we didn't want to give up a goal that early. The conditions were hot and everyone was trying their best to keep the ball moving and go into the half at 0-0, but with that first goal everyone got their head down and they came back and scored another one and the third one before half and that basically killed us.

I think double-play combinations are probably a little bit overplayed. You basically catch it and throw it and catch it again. Whoever it is, we'll probably only need a week in Spring Training to get in sync.

I think early on he knew the prognosis wasn't good. He was basically incapacitated. He couldn't play music, he couldn't paint and after awhile, he couldn't read.

Last season, we basically put a lot of pressure on ourselves. One year later, it?s nice to be back in this position, playing well against the best teams in the county.

People are basically happy. But they want things to work as advertised.

(James) was able to get in the paint and basically do what we wanted. He just kind of bullied us.

Japanese companies basically follow one of two models: They're open or they're closed. Japanese makers didn't have to make these sorts of decisions when they used to have unquestioned market dominance.

Our goal today was to start with intensity from the first whistle, and play with intensity until the end. Basically our ground ball control was lacking intensity, and today we wanted to win ball control, ground ball control and play with intensity. Today, we did that.

Our goal was basically to make sure the voters clearly knew what the amendment would mean and what it would do.

Our kids just played awfully well. Basically we shut down their offense. Our kids were able to read what they were going to do and stop what they were trying to do.

People always say, 'Well isn't harder because there are so many people.' And I don't really understand that kind of thinking. Basically it only takes one person to change the direction of an artist's career.

People are on their computers more than watching TV, because you can only watch voyeur TV, which is basically what reality shows are, for so long.

Peer-to-peer file sharing programs basically act as a warehouse for child pornography videos and images. Having the Internet readily available in their residence allows people to operate in the shadows versus going out and acquiring the material through other means.

My mom is like God. Basically without her, I wouldn't be here today. She's always been the one to keep my head up with whatever struggle I've been through in life.

My parents and brother and sister can basically fend for themselves,

My parents have always been seriously helpful and behind it all the way. Although you think classical music is a different world, it's really not. The tours and recording sessions are basically the same.

I'm hoping to make Opening Day. They said basically 10 days would be a normal person, and I'm hoping to make it in seven. That's obviously if we have no setbacks or anything like that.
