Larry Usher
ICD sales were up 30 percent, so they gained about a point of market share from Guidant.
Jeff Jonas
We hear a lot of about the impending economic recession, but that does not imply an ad recession. In the last 20 economic downturns, only in one year has there been a decline, and that was 1.3 percent. So the doomsayers might be wrong again if we do have a downturn.

Aaron Ross
If you knew him and knew what kind of guy he is and how he treats his players, you have to go to war for somebody like that. All he asks for is for you to give 110 percent on that field and for you to know what you're doing. If you can't do that, then we've got a problem.

Sharon Harrington
Ultimately the Internet economy will become THE economy. So right now, everybody needs 10 percent, 15 percent, 20 percent of their portfolio in some kind of Internet companies.

Ray Manchuk
The conscientious decisions we make to serve the community don't always serve the 50 percent law.
Thomas Armstrong

We pressed on the president the importance of getting justice for Robert, and he said he's 100 percent behind our campaign.

Walt Fricke
We looked at New York City, New Jersey, and we also looked at the ethnic breakdown -- what it is now, what it's projected to be in the future. Many people shuttle back and forth between New York, New Jersey and Florida, and there is a certain percent who knows about our brand.
Christine Michaels
The main thing is keeping those batteries fresh. Ninety percent of people have smoke detectors but they don't test them enough.
Michelle Bengivengo

Jeff Vanarsdel
It's not fair for them (sheriff's workers) to get more than other county employees unless it comes from the law-enforcement sales tax. When that money comes in, I don't care if you give them 100 percent.
Richard Webster

Most certifications get you a 8.5 percent bump in pay on average, while top ones, like Cisco's CCIE, will get you well beyond that with about a 10 - 15 percent pay premium.
David Foote
He expects the most from you. You better be ready to come to the field and give 100 percent and be professional, or you'll suffer the consequences. He's not going to let you slack. He's going to hold you accountable.

Nick Nuttall
By our standards, 90 percent and up is considered in the conclusive range.
Terry Carmichael
I think it's inexcusable we don't do a better job of training. The average turnover rate is something like 136 percent, so they actually lose more drivers than they're able to hire.

Peter Piot
We are on budget and the percent average of ticket sales is over our expectations.
Cesare Vaciago
The underlying growth opportunity of the Internet is enormous. We have only about 40 percent penetration in the U.S., and maybe close to 15 percent abroad. So there's lot of room to grow.
Bob Grandhi
More than 50 percent of the time, stars have their stylists come in and shop.
Doris Raymond
The impact of $60 oil prices in 2006 is very different indeed from the impact of high oil prices in the 1970s or 1980s. Energy is becoming a less important part of the global economy. Oil expenditure is currently about two percent of US gross domestic product, one quarter of what it was in 1980.
Richard Batty
It's fabulous to be at the 100 percent mark. I am extremely pleased with the students and staff at Hayden Valley Elementary.
Rhonda Sweetser
Some of those customers that don't practice energy conservation may see their bill increase by 20 or 30 percent.
Jon Tremayne

Frank Ortiz
We would estimate that three to four percent of your adult population will meet criteria for a gambling problem.
Keith Whyte
She's not representing the American citizens of our district, she's actually representing people that aren't American. I would love to be in an office where we can have someone there who completely represents the American people, 100 percent.

Sarah Elliott
Only 10 percent say very unfavorable after 20 years of work.
Chris Cooney

Satoshi Asai
There is basically 100 percent pricing for a tightening in U.S. rates ....
Adam Myers
About 80 percent of the casts we'd get in were for very common foot problems. Clearly there's a place for custom, but in some cases over-the-counter ones can help.
Larry Schwartz
A big thing we did this year was pay for everybody's leaf pickup. We're going to continue it, but we're gong to assess the people. It was important to us. Between 85 and 90 percent of the houses have leaves. When you do a whole neighborhood, they give you a break.

From '97 to today, we have grown 300 percent in sales and profitability.
Jim Whitesel
I thank God, ... I was more than 99 percent certain.

Dr Rachel Whitmer
Right now we're up around 27 percent from this time last year. Everybody gives us the same reason. They've decided to buy something that doesn't use as much gas.
Keith Allen
Michelin and the industry continue to pass on rising material costs through tire price increases. Tire price increases have been crucial to offsetting the projected 15 percent increase in raw material costs Michelin will feel in 2005 (approximately 450 million increase vs. 2004).
Adam Jonas
He's been great. He's put a lot of confidence in all of us. We know if we want to try things on the court, we can switch things up. He totally backs us 100 percent, and we have 100 percent confidence in him.
Chris Kraus
It's tough when you shoot 25 percent for the game.
Dr. Louis Orr
My people are voting for change. Fifty-two percent of people agree that it is time for a change.

I know when I come back they're going to back me 100 percent.
Cole Downer
Our challenge is to put them back to work at no less than 85 percent of their salary.

Bob Gilbert
I'm healthy. I'm 100 percent.
Darren Howard
If there is anything more than 250,000 jobs then everything reverses and all bets about a pause at 3.25 percent are off.
Jack Ablin
We were able to shoot the ball pretty well from the field. Shooting 47 percent has got to be our season high.
Mark Ammann
Right now only 15 percent of costs are fuel-related. If costs double that has an effect, but it will be less on us than our competitors. It's not alarming right now.
David Neeleman
Fifty percent of life in the N.B.A. is sex. The other fifty percent is money.
Dennis Rodman
The annual demand for new homes in California continues to be in the 240,000 range, but the home building industry is able to provide only 80 percent of the total need.

Andy Spears
It's awful. I'm down probably 70 percent or more.
Janelle Gentry
The closer you get to 100 percent, the better you are. If you get me 80 percent of the values and ask me to trust you on the last 20, it's different than giving me 20 percent and asking me to trust you on the last 80.
Bruce Sauter
Now we have 100 percent smoke-free campuses.
Julian Lipsher
For each 1 percent pay raise it is about a $600 million, so a billion dollars won't cut the mustard.
Ike Skelton
Homesickness is nothing Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time.
John Cheever
Eighty percent of breast lumps are benign. The minute you feel a lump, don't assume you have cancer.
Sandy Grushesky
Right now, what I see on paper says that 36 percent of this tax cut goes to the top 1 percent. That's not fair.
Jim Mcdermott
Given that 80 percent of people find a site through a search engine, it strikes me that there are potentially big dollars in this market.
Paul Hagen
Who's your daddy? There's not much basis for the figure of 10 percent or even 10 to 20 percent non-paternity that's been kicked around.
Kermyt Anderson
At half a percent, that's still the cheapest funding in the world.
Jesper Dannesboe
I think mentally he should be OK. Before he left here he had a good 95 percent of the offense. So if he was doing a little bit of studying, he should be OK.
Tim Spencer
Strong performance across most of our power operations delivered a quarter-over-quarter increase in net earnings of almost 200 percent.
Hal Kvisle
Our costs of gas have gone up 40 percent in the last year. Some of things that we provided for our customers we can no longer provide because it's too costly.
Steve Peters
We have been very fortunate. Here at Central, I don't think we have ever had a time where we have not had 100 percent employment. Most of our students have jobs before they even graduate.
Allison Norwood
I know we have been awarded monies to buy a new plow truck. The figure is $393,000, which is a pretty good chunk of change. That's 95 percent grant funded.
Dune Duray
Abortion is a civil rights issue. The abortion industry targets minorities. Seventy-eight percent of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics are located in minority neighborhoods.
Pam Fichter

Christie Wilson
Back in December of 1996 when he gave his very famed 'irrational exuberance' speech, the stock market was actually fairly valued according to or models. This is very different, because the equity market is actually about 28 percent overvalued compared to our models right now.
Charles Reinhard
In the 1980s it was 100 percent.
Steve Kepic
Across the board, we have every state failing to meet the national goal of 15 percent or less of the population being obese.
