(These) 529 plans really are pieces of (expletive) ... that are good in maybe 1 percent of situations, ... Hand my money over to bureaucrats? No thank you!
Dan Montgomery
In 2004, when the industry faced record catastrophic losses, policy holders' surplus grew by 12.5 percent to $391 billion.
John Morrison
There's been improvement in a lot of areas. It's not 100 percent, and not every hotel is doing well, but we can take some comfort in that improvement.
John Bacon
It just depends on the country. But, generally, you cut the price in half or by 60 percent.
Ron Krannich
99 percent of species put on this list are not extinct. That is not a failure; that's an enormous success.
Norm Dicks
The biggest thing is we get 100 percent return. There is no kiln out there that can say that.
Scott Mitchen
Netscape will have to spend more and do more to catch up ... But they still have 60 percent of the browser market share.
Andrea Williams
Current products have an accuracy rate of 80-85 percent; ours will be a 5-7 percent improvement.
Thomas Binford
We won't see 90 percent of production hitting market for another three months or maybe year's end.
Johnnie Burton
Nobody knows the rules about tipping. And even when you think you know the rules, they change when you go to a different country. In Japan and Australia, people are insulted if you give them a tip, and if you give a New York City cabbie a 5 percent tip, he gets insulted.
Laura Powell
Bruce had a great night. That's all I can say. He had a great night. I was behind him 100 percent.
Ryan Moats
You can take this as far as you want with me and I will go with it 100 percent.
Daniel Jones
This means CPIX inflation will be below four percent by mid-year, raising the possibility of an interest-rate cut.
Mike Schussler
These kind of charges are devastating. Even when you're (only charged and not convicted), 90 percent of people will believe you did it. But we turned down all the plea agreements so that they could tell a jury they were innocent.
Phil Wilson
We have a very high pass rate on the licensing exam, which is currently 98 percent.
Barbara Hindman
At this moment I can't disclose that for business purposes, but it would be a subsidiary of Mid-Day. Currently, Mid-Day and my family together own 100 percent of the company.
Tariq Ansari
It's just not quite 100 percent. It's getting close.
Dan Cleary
We're around the 50 percent mark, and I have a couple hundred checks on my desk that I have to process.
Jeff Kasko
Fifty percent of the job is getting the client in the door, ... The other 50 percent is their ability to talk about their company and answer important questions, that's where we can assist clients as well.
Tom Nelson
Can the government introduce price relaxations gradually enough so as to keep CPI at two-three percent a year?,
Stephen Green
Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got.
Sophia Loren
We don't have a big profit margin. We're sitting at around 3 or 4 percent, maybe, and it's going to cut that down to where we're losing money and then how can we stay in business.
Cody Knotts
The average age of the diesel mechanic that's out there working, over 50 percent of the work force is going to be of retirement age in the next five to eight years. It's already difficult to find a mechanic.
Alan Yoder
I hope these prices are here to stay. If the discount fares are on average 50 percent cheaper than the legacy carriers, we'll have achieved our goal.
Gilberto Lopez Meyer
This might be a slight dollar negative. The key was the core which was bang on expectations at 0.2 percent. So there's not much inflation there.
Nick Bennenbroek
(Almost) no team is going to be 100 percent compatible. Our team was different, though.
Britani Pittullo
Over 60 percent of runners are from Utah.
John Bradley
Biggest issue: resources are far exceeded by requirements. Getting less than 25 percent of what we have been requesting from HQ daily.
William Carwile
The bulk of the increase is due to salaries and benefits. But utility costs have become a major factor. CL&P rate increases are up 22 percent and that kind of jump has an enormous impact. And coupled with heating fuel increases of 138 percent, it's astounding.
Frank Connolly
Out of all the Express IRA accounts opened between 2001 and 2005, 78 percent have experienced positive net tax savings benefits and interest earnings.
Robert Abrams
It's a good deal. We can look at this person who would like to get a loan at a 7 percent interest rate to do a vacation home. His credit score is an AA, meaning there's a very low chance of default. I would just click the 'place a bid' button.
Chris Downie
Four more (free throws) would have meant overtime, five would have won it -- and we'd still be less than 70 percent.
Mike Ruszkowski
You prepare as much as you can, but it will always be only 30 percent. The rest is just the experience that you have to give to the character.
Gael Garcia Bernal
This is a 1,000 percent emotional issue. It is not based on science. We take tremendous care of our elephants. We don't abuse our animals.
Randy Wisthoff
The industry is interested in bringing some of that intramuscular fat back. You don't need high levels, but for consumer acceptability you need to have at least 2.5 percent intramuscular fat in the tissue.
Doyle Wilson
It was big for us because we got our first two wins. We didn't play as well as we could have, but we got the wins. It's tough because we're still not at 100 percent.
Valerie Vladea
He sells it as a big program but it is only a 1.6 percent raise for teachers.
David Kochman
Imagine a 40-to-50 percent sales tax -- that would cheer everybody up.
Robert Mcintyre
We anticipate this'll exceed 50 percent of North American companies by Monday.
Peter Tibbett
What it does is change the money flow in the country, and I think the money speaks for itself. It's a shame. We're out of business with a 53 percent cut.
James Gilbert
Turkey is seeing a fatality rate of 20 percent which is lower than the fatality rate observed in Asia, which was around 58 percent.
Cristiana Salvi
The concern we have is that there are a lot of companies that don't see it coming. This is a big elephant. It's coming right at the American manufacturer. Based on input from many sources, we are guessing 40 percent or more of the manufacturing industry doesn't get it.
John Donovan
Our anticipated strikes may commence in various locations of the Niger delta from this weekend in order to meet our anticipated target of a 30 percent cut in Nigeria's export capabilities for the month of February.

Mike Fergus
We sell 60 percent off the rack and 40 percent special orders.
Carly Rager
Eighty to 90 percent of all PCs are designed and manufactured in Taiwan with OEMs. This is a very big part of our business.
Larry Ciaccia
When you begin to lose the fire a little bit and if you're not giving 100 percent out there, then it's time for you to leave because you'll end up getting hurt, ... I want to be able to walk away on top.
Jerry Rice
I don't think Xstrata are going to do anything apart from walk away with a check. This bid is 21 percent above their initial offer (for 20 percent of Falconbridge).
Nick Hatch
(The building space) is currently inadequate just due to the fact that we are on average hitting about 80 to 85 percent occupancy.
James Karaman
[But overall,] these new annuity products are not bad, ... If they would get their total expenses down a percent, they would be very good.
David Jacobs
If we get into a drying trend for the next 20 to 22 days, I would guess that there is probably a 70 percent chance the forest will be at least partially closed by June.
Tom Johnston
Now, if you can get 25 percent guys in a class, you're doing great. I think it's because there are so many other options.
Kari Anderson
To be a critic, you have to have maybe three percent education, five percent intelligence, two percent style, and ninety percent gall and egomania in equal parts.
Judith Crist
Ninety-five percent of the people ? they're workers. They pay taxes like everybody else.
Angel Sanchez
We have a 50 percent penetrated market in the U.S. So there's plenty of growth ahead in the MS market.
James Mullen
Hopefully, we can get the historic plus-minus 90 percent market share as previously.
Thomas Ehrhart
We used to think the rate of postpartum depression was 9 percent. We now know it is much higher than that.
John Gottman
It matters a lot for the party activists. It matters some for primary voters. And it matters a little for undecided general election voters. Even if it matters for 5 percent of the electorate ? no candidate can ignore that.
Jack Pitney
In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept destructive criticism. Without 100 percent dedication, you won't be able to do this.
Willie Mays
What these guys are doing out there is something that maybe 1 or 2 percent of the extreme sports fanatics can actually achieve to get out there in 18-foot waves? It's crazy.
Jose Torres
From what I've observed, about 98 percent of all the entertainment derived on the Internet is about people embarrassing themselves or people being embarrassed. It's really America's Funniest Home Videos on the Internet. It's television by the people for the people. But on the other hand, there's the problem. This is the blessing and the curse, be careful what you ask for.
Orrin Zucker
Government, right now, owns 70 percent of all land west of the Mississippi. Government today will not let us drill on what is called the Pacific Rim. How much oil are in these two areas? Mind-boggling.
John Raese
Berlusconi's mistake was that he didn't turn round after the September 11 (2001) attacks and tell Italians that the economic climate had changed making it hard to complete his contract 100 percent.
Vittorio Feltri
The current fed fund rate of 4.50 percent seems to be serving as a floor for the 10-year yield.
Hidehiko Maejima
The world is coming to a view that the Fed is going to provide more liquidity and interest rates will probably (peak) around 4 percent.
Adam Myers
He really improved throughout the year. He's a kid who comes in and works hard every day. He never gives less than 100 percent.
Russ Mckenzie
By allowing Delta to merge with Continental or Northwest, we would have three extremely large airlines accounting for 75 percent of market. But it would be harder for American and United to dominate Delta if Delta were to merge.
Henry Harteveldt
Firefighters don't like the term 'culture change.' They think it's an assault on tradition. But look at the facts. Half of the firefighter deaths each year are due to heart attack, and another 25 percent are guys who die in car accidents on the way to the fire. Firefighters are indeed heroes, but these are not hero deaths.
Bill Manning
We suffered a 5- to -6 percent loss in business till Saturday as an impact of the Aug. 17 occurrence.
Imtiaz Ahmed
The worry with this is that 50 percent of its revenue is coming from Airbus, and the commercial airline business has never made a lot of money for anyone.
Howard Wheeldon
Both hospitals are constantly asking for more people. Of our graduates, 98 percent have jobs waiting for them, and most of them get jobs here locally.
Rhonda Taylor
It's eighty percent script and twenty percent you get great actors. There's nothing else to it.
William Wyler
In my mind, its about 25 percent physical fitness, 25 percent mental grit and 50 percent just staying healthy in the altitude. The altitude is the biggest concern.
Troy Mcmahan
Seventy-five percent of our kids live in the country.
Anne Morgan
I think we have a little bit of a correction here. The market was up just over 30 percent (for the year) as little as two weeks ago. A 5 percent correction is not really all that unusual.
Scott Pape
We knew he'd be back. We just didn't know when he was going to be 100 percent healthy to wrestle. We worked around his injury. We listened to Ben more than anything. His body told him what to do.
Greg Randall
There's frightening information in there. Our school budget has gone up 140 percent over the 13 years.
Jerry Rogers
I still would have had 800-900 students, 90 percent poverty and the same struggles, the same challenges, the same everything. Just less.
Doretha Edgecomb
We are about 80 percent band members.
Alan Sypert
When you look at the two numbers together, overall orders are up about 4.2 percent, or 2.1 percent per month. That's not a stellar performance, but [it's] also much better than the market thought.
Chris Wiegand
Ninety-five percent of the economists on the continent were with Blair. There is an economic justification to spend more on research and development at the European level.
Daniel Gros
It's amazed me as to the outpouring of affection that people have for them, and 100 percent of all ticket sales goes to Children's Mercy. I had a guy come into our office about an hour ago and buy a hundred tickets. Another guy came in and bought 200 yesterday.
Bob Burris
It will cannibalize, but the difference is you have a 50 percent tax rate and you have a slot parlor as opposed to a much lower tax rate in New Jersey and a full-blown casino resort. The level of amenities is going to be much less (in Pennsylvania).
William Schmitt
The guy has the most talent I've ever seen in one body. Once he gets back 100 percent healthy, that confidence will shoot up and everything will fall into place for him.
Bryan Mcclendon
I found through research that between 50 and 70 percent of young girls who describe themselves as overweight are actually of normal weight.
Dominique Dawes
It just depends on how I feel. I want to see how it feels in the next week and a half. If it's not 100 percent, I'm not going to play.
Francisco Cordero
They make it so that 95 percent of the kids in that (Quinn) classroom actually want to get up and go to school.
Joe Fields
We got started late, and the delay is our fault. But we're making up ground quickly, and we're confident that by opening day we'll have 90 percent of the cable universe in the Cleveland market covered.
Jim Liberatore
Most people live ninety percent in the past, seven percent in the present, and that only leaves three percent for the future.
John Steinbeck
ISPs can sell bandwidth to us at a 100 percent margin.
Tom Herman
It's 100 percent better than it was. There's a lot more help, a lot more opportunity. You don't have to have a lot of money to get a house today.
Melvin Johnson
We didn't skate 100 percent but it was good enough to win our fifth European title in a row and we're happy about that.
Maxim Marinin
We've got to go back to the 1970s to get three strong years of 4 percent growth.
Paul Polzin
In reality, Gordon Brown's forecasts will have to be slashed to around 1.75 percent.
Philip Shaw
Less than 50 percent of people even have access to the Internet so there's an ignorance factor that fuels this. What they have heard is about these billionaires from places like monster.com and they see all this stuff and say the Internet is a goldmine.
Gene Fairbrother
The security system is 10-15 percent better. I would have liked to have seen the system 50, 60, 70 percent better. After all, we have had 12 months to get our acts together and do something about it.
Chris Yates
I've been a nurse since 1979. Back then, it was under 4 1/2 percent.
Tom Bissonnette
He's been governor for five years, and a staggering 54 percent of members of his party are looking to vote someone else.
Mark Sanders
Coal production peaked in 1990, and we lost 40 percent of our production, which meant we lost 40 percent of our miners.
Bill Caylor
Donny was really frustrated because Lee kept grabbing his elbow and he couldn't use that patented headlock of his. Donny really likes to use that headlock and that's 90 percent of his offense. He also likes to dominate on top and he was able to do that the whole second period and in the third when he got the escape.
Dave Williamson
Not every place right off the bat will offer you a good rate. One company may offer you 15 percent. Another may offer you 11 percent.
Fritz Elmendorf
No system is fail-proof. Any child abuse prevention expert will attest to the same thing. No matter what you do, you are not going to have a system that will be 100 percent effective.
Michael Kaufman
Ninety-nine percent of the compounds rejected for drugs is because they are so toxic. That's a problem we don't have.
Robert Carlson
He's been a great citizen. He's been a great pitcher. With a little break here and there, he might have won 20 games this year. Everything we've asked him to do, he has done 120 percent. He's a man of his word. He's a man of character.
Fred Wilpon
We shot 31.4 percent and they shot 36.8 percent. You probably saw some ugly basketball.
Dave Dickerson
Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.
Richard Buckminster Fuller
If you start at zero, 50 percent is only 50 cents.
Larry Ponemon
If we had a pot of money, what we'd want to do would be to deed restrict them, then discount them like 10 percent. That would cover why you're doing a deed restriction.
Bonnie Osborn
I told Jesse he is the best 50 percent free throw shooter I have ever seen. But he was money in the clutch.
Robert Hammonds
I'm not going to play ? right now. I'm not going to be like [Michael] Jordan and say 100 percent and then everybody is going to call the guy a liar. So that will never come out of my mouth.
Greg Paulus
Batavia is targeting at least 85 percent to 90 percent this year.
Anton Situmeang
Lumber is up by about 25 percent over two weeks ago and carpeting and all the things that go into a home are up and spiked.
Joseph Gallagher
In the last period, we saw almost a 50 percent increase. We're going to watch the sales of the remaining gift cards and make a decision about what we're going to do.
Jamie Miller
I won't be 100 percent all season. Right now, I'm about 80 percent, which is fine. I feel I can contribute to the team the way I am.
Sgt. Steve Maynard
This was 100 percent the physician's mistake.
Dr. Nikolai Durmanov
We have offered a 30 percent over plant for the 2006 crop. For every share that a grower owns, they can plant 30 percent.
Wade Wimmer
One hundred percent of our fund-raising is given back to Burlington.
Kris Fischer
My prediction was that it would go up $50,000. Instead, it doubled. If it keeps going at 10 percent increments today, that's another $100,000.
Patrick Cleary
In Rochester and Dover, it's already gone up significantly considering the first couple of days we were at about 10 percent.
Bill Boynton
It'll be over 90 percent (802.11x) in 2002.
Gemma Paulo

Mark Andrews
It seemed like it was higher than 70 percent. I've never seen a shooting exhibition like that.
Jay Stanley
The storms really threw a kink into our growing operations, especially around Immokalee. Some of the yield dropped by 80 percent.

T.e. Lawrence
If you owe money, and you know you owe money, you have to pay 90 percent of your tax.

I see a convergence of desktop and notebook (capabilities). I've heard Kodak, Boeing, and Intel all say they are committing to a move to 100 percent notebook computer use in the next few years.
Ken Dulaney
It's actually going up about seven cents per gallon as far as usage is concerned. ...The big issue is the access charge, which isn't a doubling of the bill, it's more like a 25-26 percent increase. ...
Jerry Joerger
Use of mathematical modeling tools has identified a list of over 300 genes that can discriminate among eight pathogenic agents with 99 percent accuracy.
Rasha Hammamieh
We still have 80 percent to go.
Keith Price
Impact fees are not designed to recoup 100 percent.

Frank Badillo
A good 30 to 40 percent of the bands would have made the migration up here, which is not happening right now.
Lauren Wayne
We have not 100 percent denied anyone yet. We have a number of people who are missing something.... They might owe as little as $17 to the Department of Revenue. We're working with them on that.
Pam Walker
It is really important to have a good sale this year because the libraries' budget for new books from the county has been cut by 80 percent this year.
Cathy Clark
I'd say the majority of shareholders, maybe 95 percent, will sell back.
Tomas Taterka
Our live answer rate is now 95 percent, higher than it ever was. This is a way of improving our support, not [hurting] it. We're not preventing more people from getting in. As Tech Data grows and evolves, tech support has to grow and evolve around that.
Barb Miller
The pirate theme is very popular and appeals to families. Focusing on our theme has brought in a 35 to 40 percent increase in profit.
Andres Cibotti
We gave them the game, they didn't earn it at all. I don't know what to say. Our girls said they gave it 110 percent and that is all we can ask for. It's disappointing to lose, but you have to look at our accomplishments and we overcame a lot of adversity.
Ashton Whidden
All in all, I think we had a good day. I'd say 65 percent of the girls were close to their lifetime-bests and the number of guys was close to that as well.
Brian Dickmann
The new business model in animation today is co-production. It accounts for 70 to 80 percent of programs.
Biren Ghose

I tell clients to expect returns of 8 percent.

Peter Brodie
Ninety five percent of everybody who came through here today had their drivers license, their insurance and they were buckled up. They're getting the message. Awareness is up. We're announcing it in school. They knew we were going to be out here today. We didn't try to trick anybody. We just told them we were going to do it.
George Payne
I think our workload has increased 100 percent in the last two months.
Rebecca Caldwell
We've already cut monograph purchases by 30-40 percent across all disciplines. We can't cut any more; there is simply no more flesh left to cut.

Phil Whitesell
All we do is fund their budgets. They are 100 percent responsible for their hires. If we disapproved it would not matter.
Todd Vonderheid
Only about 10 percent of the market that can use our product uses fiber. We're really trying to increase that penetration.
Jeffery Cook
Right now at one year, we have over 90 percent of the patients alive...more importantly is that it continues to work. Over 80 percent of the patients are much improved and better than they have been.
Patrick Mccarthy
You can lose as much as 75 percent of your balance ability between the ages of 25 and 75.

Jeff Linenfelser
He's 50 percent Peter Falk, 50 percent my own father.
Paul Reiser
In 2005, 20 per cent of phones shipped with a card slot. We expect that to be 28 percent in 2006.

Adil Shamoo
We played a solid, hard, clean game and all the kids gave 100 percent. The kids played well. They were satisfied at the end of the game and so was I.
Phil Crystal
It's impressive that Kraft was able to do two 100 percent whole-grain cookies.
Margo Wootan
It's under 75 to 80 percent of the time.
Matt Simmons
The current account deficit is at a record level, as a percent of GDP (gross domestic product). We're now at 6.5 percent. That is a very large number that cannot be sustained.
Sandra Pianalto
Everything would be at 100 percent.
Gayle Sitzmann
We are up 22 percent from 2001, when we had 16,500 patients. We are looking to expand the emergency room, labor and delivery and add a convenience care clinic.
Laura Carter
We did nothing to get that 32 percent. This year we're doing something.
Gerry Mckiernan
In 90 percent of the cases, this would have gone to a runoff, ... We believed that all of the other candidates were planning for a runoff, but we wanted to get it in one shot.
Chris Turner
All the locations we run are now at $2.99, ... I would guess probably 60 to 70 percent of the rest of the market is that, too.

Dean Baker

Cathi Chuck
People who buy market-rate or affordable housing, typically those with a median income, represent about 60 percent of the market.
