Bush's standing with the public is a factor in his ongoing effort to influence legislation and to sustain support for his Iraq policy. The honesty dip is partly caused by a loss of faith in his credibility on Iraq.

Bullying is a factor in many, if not all, incidents of school violence. If I hear of a shooting in a school, I can immediately describe the shooter because they are predominately white males, have access to guns, and they feel unconnected, left out, shut out.

Bullitt Central is definitely a better football team. They play with emotion and that showed on film. We know they are loaded with seniors. I feel like the revenge factor will be big for them.

Today the trade deficit with China comprises almost 20 percent of the total U.S. trade deficit and is the largest trade deficit the U.S. has with any single nation.

Based on the calendar of publicly announced deals, this was the best time to make the addition. The stock price wasn't a factor in our decision.

I feel the odds strongly favor a broad washout before this bear market is over, if only because the lack of a broad market breakdown beyond tech is the single strongest factor supporting the continued high hopes for a rapid stock market comeback,

I feel like I don't want to be a body out there, being used to help the guys practice. At the end of the day, politics plays a lot into it and if you look at the guys on the roster, some of those guys have got big contracts with shoe deals, commercials and everything. I feel like I've been an underground player my whole career and that would be a factor when it comes down to cutting people.

From my end, the biggest thing was the personnel factor and the evaluation of those players, ... I just felt very strongly that the right thing to do would be to move on.

'Friends' started because Rachel left her husband at the altar. This likability factor is just so stupid to me. It's the same thing as 'wish-fulfillment,' which is a big word you hear in a lot of Hollywood rooms. It basically means that people want to see other people living a life they can't lead, and I don't buy that. I think that's not true.

If all we've had is consumption, not business investment, there could be a self-fulfilling factor here, ... If consumers run out of patience, they start trimming sales a bit, and the economy, rather than picking up, may weaken a bit. Then the consumer says, 'See, I told you it was going to happen.'

If, as expected, the October employment report shows a sharp rise in unemployment and a sharp decline in job growth, it could be a crushing blow to confidence. Having a job is probably the single biggest factor in consumers having confidence.

If it wasn't one person coming at me, it was two coming off screens. They did a good job, but it's just something that I've got to figure out. ... I had to work to get open and it did have a factor on me. My legs getting a little tired was a factor.

If we are seeing China back to growth, that is another stress factor back in the oil market.

If the Fed pauses at 4.5 percent, the risk would be the Fed has stopped too early and they would have to restart the tightening process. That would be a big supporting factor for the dollar.

If someone is experiencing blackouts, it is a good indication that they are drinking too much. It is an early high-risk factor for alcoholism.

He underestimates my power. My power is a big factor and will set the tone for this fight. Once he gets hit with it, I'm not so sure what adjustments he can make.

He would have been a great part of the team. If you look at the times those guys skated, he would have probably been a deciding factor there. (But) I don't fault him for it.

He was the dominant factor in this game, no doubt. The one thing we could have done was get in front of him better. But we moved the puck well, made some great decisions. But we couldn't finish.

He has his cast off and a spongy thing on it, but the feeling hasn't even come back in his wrist yet. There's a very small chance he'll play There's a stronger possibility of him being a factor on Saturday.

He has handled the situation very professionally and he's made a big fan out of me because of that. It's great to have a player like him on the bench that you can put into the lineup and the other team knows he's a significant factor to contend with.

He has outstanding ball skills. He's a smart player. He anticipates well. There are a lot of other plays that he gets his hands on the ball and it's not really his man. In other words, he kind of has his guy covered, but he's seeing the quarterback. He sees the ball thrown and then he breaks on the ball . . . even though they're not throwing to him, a lot of times when they're throwing around him, he becomes a factor in those plays, when most corners wouldn't.

He got the majority of his big-league time after he turned 31. 'Sheaff' kept pressing that on me, telling me there is a chance you can get back up there and that you never know what can happen after that. That's been a motivating factor for me.

He made some huge saves. Some great saves on shots from the point. Even on ones he had trouble seeing, he was seeing everything. He was a key factor in the game.

He made an awful lot of good saves. That's one factor you can't control in a hockey game -- how the guy wearing the pads at the other end is going to play.

He may have gotten a little bit tired, but I thought he was a factor for us, because he could go get the basketball. I thought he helped us a great deal defensively a couple of times. He stepped way out and tried to give us help on Paul, so he couldn't have the lane to get on top of the basket.

We talked about this kind of game all week, and the biggest factor of our game is our defense.

We've been using the strength of our schedule as a motivational factor for a while now. We've seen Assumption, Mercy, Franklin-Simpson, Butler, Manual and a lot of other really good teams. I think our schedule paid off in the regional, and hopefully it will help at state.

What I like is that early in the season we have a difficult schedule, and that has not been the case the last few years. That allows the fans to get involved early, and it's a great motivating factor for our team.

We take data of jacks and older-age fish and develop mathematical relationships between these fish that we use to predict the number of fish by age. And in 2004, we actually saw a relatively strong return of jacks, which is the single biggest driving factor in any of our forecasts.

What we were able to do is compare the binding site of both the viral RNA and the cells' cap binding protein on a factor that is common to both mechanisms in eIF3.

He's a big factor for them; he's been a thorn in our sides the last couple of years.

He's a big factor for our team. We trust him when he's out there to run the offense and protect the ball. Everyone is confident when he's out there. But the guys who have stepped up and replaced him have done a great job. It's just tough when a senior leader goes out who's so valuable to our team.

He's a great defender, he challenges shots and he runs the floor well. His post skills are catching up. He's been a real factor for us.

He?s already been to the show. I know the intimidation factor will be out of him.

He's just one of the guys. He shows up and plays hard every day. That's all you can ask. He's one of those team-first guys. He handles everything else so well. It's not even a factor for us.

His overall game has jumped to another level. He will probably factor into the big-league level at some point this year.

History suggests that the most powerful factor influencing the profit cycle is pricing power.

He's going to be a major, major factor for us this season. I know he didn't design it that way, but he did what he had to do to get us out of it.

He's figured out how we've wanted him to play all year, and that's anchor the middle and change shots and make it very difficult for people to shoot around the basket. He has been a factor now in the last few games defensively.

Hopefully, this is something he can put behind him and it won't be a factor the rest of the season.

He was our go-to guy all night. He played physical football both ways and was a definite factor for us.

He was fortunate to stay on the pitch. I don't think it was a malicious arm he raised to hurt somebody but it was raised and with that the boy has collided into it. They could have had easy claims for him to go off the pitch. I think the deciding factor today was the actual match official. I felt his performance today was at times very good. It was a little bit of a itchy game, there was a few tackles going in but he dealt with most of it positively and correctly and that was a crucial decision. I have to praise him for that.

He was going to play no matter what. If it was broke he was going to play anyway. He'd get it taped up and go out there. It may have been a factor on his foul shots.

He was a huge factor in my decision, because I knew I wanted to come and play for a great man like him.

He was a big factor in my decision to come here, to be on a team with one of the greatest home run hitters in the history of the game, ... There is no doubt that if he was here from the beginning it would be a different story for this team.

He changed the game right there for us. It improved our field position and changed the momentum. It was a big play for us. When he was down you're thinking how you don't want to see anyone get hurt. He's such a key factor for this offense. You get a little worried. But he bounced back and he's OK.

Greenspan's shift to a 'don't criticize what you don't understand mode' signals that the low level of long-term interest rates will, by themselves, not be a factor pushing the Fed towards more tightening.

Hamburgers have been around for a long, long time and there's a wear-out factor there. There has been a very strong growth for sandwiches for a very long time. People want variety.

Kobe is always a factor in the game. I don't think Golden State stopped him from scoring the ball. He just got other guys involved in the offense. It was a game Kobe didn't have to force the game until late.

Jacques agonized over it. Not so much in a financial way, but it increased our recognition factor - it's become a hook for us.

I would say it's the single most important factor of (a team), ... You hate to put it all on one position, but if you told me, 'OK Tiller, you're going to graduate 21 of your 22 starters. Which one don't you want graduating?' It'd be the quarterback.

I would say we have made good progress. The glass is definitely half-full -- it's not half-empty -- but we are still worried because the weather is the big unknown factor and we are not sure how people will be able to cope.

Katrina just went through, and it takes a little time for water to move. That's probably a contributing factor to these high bacterial samples.

Katrina just went through, and it takes a little time for water to move, ... That's probably a contributing factor to these high bacterial samples.

Kara was a huge factor for us. I can't ask anything more of a freshman point guard. We ran clear outs for her, we asked her to run stuff we haven't run all year and she got us into sets and made good decisions with the basketball tonight.

Joe Cope is still the starting center. I'm going to rotate J.P. in there to get as many reps as I can with the Duckworth factor keeping him out of there. But he's competing for a starting job.

I suspect unconscious bias has been far more of a factor for President Obama than overt racism and will also be a challenge for Hillary Rodham Clinton if she runs for president again.

I think it's a great move, ... I'm really, really pleased that something good has come from my mistake, really. I'd like to think that the way I handled it at the time, and what I went through, was probably a small factor in their decision to look at it.

I think it has more to do with product than any other factor because, look, last summer huge summer, ... There were DVDs. The ticket prices were high. The concession prices were high. But people were lining up for those movies more than they are this year because of the movies more than anything.

It boils down to primary use. That was the essential factor (the county attorney) told me and the board.

It appears that the greatest factor for our retailers slowdown up until now had been the unseasonably warm weather, and as soon as we got more seasonally appropriate temperatures it unleashed pent up demand.

It appears that the greatest factor for our retailers' slowdown up until now had been the unseasonably warm weather, and as soon as we got more seasonally appropriate temperatures it unleashed pent up demand.

I think it's just oil and optimism about the New Year. I think oil is the driving factor due to the warmer weather, but people are now looking for better than expected (fourth-quarter) earnings, better than expected retail sales number. There's a host of good numbers out there.

I think it's foreign investors who are aggressively buying banking stocks now ... in order to factor in Japan's economic recovery they are buying the most liquid Japanese stocks -- banks.

It comes from a lot of experience. The chemistry factor is real high on this team. It's just a mindset that we have. This team would rather play on the road. That's just the way it is.

It hurt us, because he's the guy that gets the majority of the reps. But that's part of football. Your backups have to be able to step in and do the job. (Sophomore backup) Kenduall (Thorbs) did a good job. But that wasn't the deciding factor tonight.

It is a critical factor for us that we have no additional money.

I think the president himself values diversity on the courts, ... It will be something that he'll consider. But I don't think it's more or less likely to be a factor because of poll ratings or anything else going on in the short-term news cycle.

I think (the officials were) more of a factor tonight than any game we've played this year. Even though some other games were the same, I thought it was more important in this than any other one.

I think the number one factor impacting these programs is the tight labor market, which is making it really hard for employers to let their workers go for eight to 12 weeks at time.

I think that?s a factor driving that far and trying to get your legs under you. If we can set the tone right away before they get their legs under them that can help us.

I thought both Sullivan and Spears had excellent games. We had a much bigger presence out of the middle on our attack and that was really a big factor in our winning.

I think when the games are tight or if there's half a chance he's always going to nick one for you. But I don't think that was the main factor last Saturday because even if he was playing in the first half he wouldn't be able to do anything with that.

I think the future lies in two different kinds of Internet players. The one is the bricks and clicks, and that will be the dominant factor in the business, ... The other one will be highly specialized pure play click operations that carry things, do things that are simply not available elsewhere through other channels.
