The economy is doing fine. We're at the lowest unemployment rates in a generation. Inflation is hard to find. There's just aren't the kinds of problems that would induce to you take new medicine. So if the medicine at the moment is a 4-3/4 percent Fed funds rate, keep it there.
Neal Soss
The market is in a very strange mood, and so with earnings and revenue growth estimates, it's pretty hard to predict how the market's going to react to a company's earnings and revenue growth rate right now.
Kevin Rollins
We will further improve the yuan exchange rate formation mechanism and constantly make the exchange rate more responsive to market supply and demand.
Hu Xiaolian
The economy could get back to an above trend rate this quarter, and that is what will matter to monetary policy makers.
Joseph Lavorgna
Fears of interest rate-related mood swings in the U.S. market have been suspended for now, and that's a big help.
Hitoshi Ichio
The financial sector is up in anticipation of tomorrow's interest rate cut in Toronto.
Pierre Lapointe
The variable rate mortgages increased house payments by as much as 50 percent for some people.
Rick Sharga
A May rate cut is more likely than not, but the Bank is likely to need to see ongoing signs of lower-than-expected targeted inflation as well as weaker than expected Q1 GDP growth.
Alan Castle
The Fed should respond with a rate increase earlier than the previous timetable had suggested. Now we're looking at perhaps a 1-3/4 percent funds rate by the end of this year.
Jeoff Hall
The figures are better than expected and although petrol prices have come down, there is an improvement in core rate of inflation.
Philip Shaw
It's a young team, but they are coming along. It's going to take time, but they have been progressing at a very nice rate and we're excited about the potential that we have on this team.
Nikki Franke
The narrowing rate differential is bad for the Australian dollar. The trend is going to be down as the U.S. Fed keeps raising rates.
Rob Henderson
It's obviously the right thing to do. Most companies realize the residential class just can not get a rate shock.
Daniele Seitz
The vacancy rate for the smallest companies---those with fewer than five employees---is four times that of the largest firms in the study.
Catherine Swift
If an agent or producer isn't licensed and appointed properly, they are automatically locked out of the sales system. Between that feature and our 98.7% matching rate with the PDB, we're in good shape as far as compliance.
Dan Corridon
If the central bank acts this week, it will probably come up with ways to limit rate increases to ease concerns of the government and investors.
Akihiko Inoue
The Fed will definitely be raising the rate at the end of this month, and it's certainly possible we'll get a second rate increase later. With some supply pressure, that will also lead to higher yields.
Kornelius Purps
Inflationary pressures should also remain under control, thanks to slowing earnings growth which should avoid the need for any rate hike by the end of 2006.
Asmara Jamaleh
There is a big temperature contrast between the warm ocean water and the cold ice, and melting occurs at a very rapid rate. The melting reduces the friction that holds these glaciers back, allowing them to accelerate.
Robert Bindschadler
How Chinese exports perform is largely driven by external demand rather than the exchange rate.
Qu Hongbin
It's certainly not too soon to speculate on a successor to Mori and I'd rate Hashimoto a 40 percent chance of taking the job.
Richard Gibbs
When we looked at the bills, what (the district paid) didn't agree with the contracts, and we were told that they went through a flat rate with some of those taxicabs.
Bruce Myers
If they don't see that evidence, it may well regenerate the case for a further rate hike.
Craig Ebert
Security increases costs by 10 to 25 percent, so we're not getting our value for money. Security was factored in at a rate of 9 percent - we didn't know it would be this much.
Bill Mccoy
The dollar will continue to be supported by growth and interest rate differentials.
Samarjit Shankar
Brazil's benchmark rate will keep on falling until it gets down to a more reasonable single digit rate. The tax cut, along with lower inflation, will certainly help.
Jerome Booth
There is nothing to stand in the way of a Fed rate cut of [a quarter-percentage point] in August.
John Herrmann
We take it that if the Arrive Alive campaign was not there at all, the rate of fatalities we are experiencing could have been much higher than we have.
Collen Msibi
Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.
Judy Garland
The worst news on UK inflation is yet to come. The probability of a further rate cut is clearly reducing.
Alan Clarke
Current products have an accuracy rate of 80-85 percent; ours will be a 5-7 percent improvement.
Thomas Binford
The market is overstocked and it is not feasible to take prices lower with the current exchange rate, so we have to reduce production to try to bring the market back to balance.
Deon Dreyer
Are they likely to change the (overall) crime rate in Texas? Not really. ... Will it change the directions and patterns in Texas? I doubt it.
Steve Murdock
This means CPIX inflation will be below four percent by mid-year, raising the possibility of an interest-rate cut.
Mike Schussler
This offsets the amount of the rate increase.
Michael Twomey
We have a very high pass rate on the licensing exam, which is currently 98 percent.
Barbara Hindman
We didn't have the budget to give them. Now we do, and we can pay the going rate.
Craig Patrick
The 4.39 per cent product offers clients the comfort of their mortgage payments being fixed at a competitive rate for two years. Whilst the 4.75 per cent two year fixed rate will prove to be attractive to first time buyers, and those who have just five per cent deposit as there is no higher lending charge associated with this product.
Mark Howell
The markets are saying (a rate hike) is not only justified, but it's good news. It remains to be seen whether the economy will be stronger than we anticipate.
Wayne Angell
The [original] numbers that NASA gave to the White House were that shuttle would cost about $5.5 million per launch and the launch rate would be anywhere between 50 and 60 launches a year.
John Logsdon
Inflation pressures are quite modest in the United States. I don't think inflation will be a problem this year, or next year, even with the rate cuts.
Glenn Hubbard
You cannot be really first-rate at your work if your work is all you are.
Anna Quindlen
Strengthening economies in Japan and Europe, combined with the threat of further rate hikes from the Federal Reserve has investors anticipating higher rates and acting defensively.
William O'donnell
Visually significant cataract appears to be high among U.S. Hispanic individuals of Mexican descent, as evidenced by rate of cataract and rate of surgery.
Johns Hopkins
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
The Fed may need to prove its inflation-fighting credentials because expectations could be shifting a bit. The case for continued rate hikes has become, if anything, more compelling since Katrina.
Steve Stanley
This car apparently did not want to pull over. It took off at a high rate of speed.
Bonnie Winchester
They're kind of baby steps. We haven't made any measurable impact on the mortality rate or survival of this disease.
James Young
The answer to how much higher the federal funds rate needs to go depends on how economic conditions unfold.
Sandra Pianalto
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
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
That's a reflection of the maturity of the medium. It's harder to grow at the same rate or higher.
Graham Mudd
We're adding jobs at three to four times the monthly rate in July 2002.
Rick Harper
Unless a company locks in a negotiated rate with 'last room availability,' prices will rise in proportion to occupancy levels in a given city.
Matthew Davis
We used to think the rate of postpartum depression was 9 percent. We now know it is much higher than that.
John Gottman
Why should rate deregulation be an exercise in self-defense for pay phone consumers and a futile one at that? ... Government oversight must be maintained to ensure that pay phone owners and carriers do not abuse customers through high rates and by failing to disclose price information required by law.
Janee Briesemeister
The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.
A. A. Milne
Further rate increases are possible.
Burhanuddin Abdullah
It is absurd to think that such an interest rate could kill growth.
Guy Quaden
The good news is the rate of increase in health care costs is down, ... The bad news is that's the only good news.
Andrew Altman
The current fed fund rate of 4.50 percent seems to be serving as a floor for the 10-year yield.
Hidehiko Maejima
It was rising at a 20 percent annual rate and then suddenly stopped in its tracks, ... Bubbles and How to Survive Them.
John Calverley
We are very pleased to be partnered with My TV in the expanding television markets of Nigeria and Ghana. Since our entry into the African market two years ago, it has been exciting to see the demand for first-rate international sports programming continue to grow.
David Sternberg
The rate increase is necessary to protect our customers from losses arising from future storm seasons, similar to 2004 and 2005.
Ryan Priest
It is very unlikely that it would maintain that kind of case mortality rate if it made the jump.
Stanley Lemon
This is a dollar-positive move across the board. It puts perhaps additional interest-rate hikes on the table because the housing market is not slowing down.
Greg Salvaggio
Recent economic indicators show a lackluster economic climate. And that led to the surprise 50-basis-point rate cut by the Fed yesterday.
Frank Nothaft
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
At this rate, he only needs another 800 at-bats to be the greatest hitter of all time.
Todd Jones
Most Americans spend more than they usually have, which is why we have the lowest savings rate in the world.
David Tronson
The widening rate gap between the U.S. and HK in the later part of 2006 will likely be accompanied by a strong HK dollar.
George Leung
If you show any apprehension, he's going to notice it -- he's going to sense your heart beating faster, your breathing rate increasing, your hands shaking. So you have to be confident. [If not,] there's a chance he'll take advantage of it.
Ray Owczarzak
Although it's a very low rate, any misconduct is still too high.
Greg O'connor
We work on financial literacy, money management. We strive to get them the best interest rate.
Rod Williams
They're not going to be real sympathetic for you staying at the old rate.
Catherine Williams
This is not the first time it's been lower. We're always glad when we can lower the tax rate. We set the rate to meet the medical needs of Walker County.
Robert Hardy
It is difficult for the woven exporters to meet the 30 percent value addition requirement due to scarcity of raw materials at a rate equivalent to 70 percent.
Annisul Huq
The ECB has signaled that if there was any risk inflation expectations would run away, they would contain them. With this central bank rate-hike cycle, it may lead to a flat yield curve by April.
Kornelius Purps
Right now bonds are reacting, and perhaps overreacting, to employment and CPI. What we will probably see in the next couple of months is that we aren't as close to an interest-rate hike as those two reports might suggest.
Dorsey Farr
We're not at a complete maximum. But if we keep getting items (at the rate) we have been, probably in two years we will be at a maximum.
Jesse Teitelbaum
For the Fed ... they know there will be disruptions in September from Katrina, but policy is forward-looking and takes six months to have any effect. If the Fed can withstand the political heat, they will stick to their guns with a quarter-point rate hike.
Michael Englund
Moody's news surely helped turn around sentiment. It gave Brazilian markets a good boost. Dollar futures fell, interest rate futures fell, and C-bonds rose.
Diniz Pignatari
There are lots of things on the table, but there's nothing that will have a significant impact on the rate of increase of health care costs.
Andrew Altman
Fewer claims translate directly into a lower overall rate increase for consumers.
Robert Hartwig
You are following the money. The great minds and the capital will move to the places that are the most aggressive, most active and where the growth rate is highest.
Tim Draper
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
Perhaps it's a function of the fears that (Fed Chief Alan) Greenspan has already gone too far (with interest-rate hikes) and the worst news is yet to come.
Clark Yingst
Trying to be a first-rate reporter on the average American newspaper is like trying to play Bach's 'St. Matthew's Passion' on a ukulele.
Bagdikian's Observation
These prices have not been seen since mid-2004, when the Fed Reserves began the first of a long series of rate hikes.
Neill Pickering
Historically, peaks in the U.S. rate cycle combined with rising equity volatility and a moderation in earnings momentum all signal U.S. equity performance.
Paul Niven
That (the drop in the core rate) will take some pressure off the Bank of Canada to aggressively raise interest rates.
Sal Guatieri
Another interest rate hike in March is a 'done deal' among market participants and a pause is likely to come after that in May.
Masamichi Koike
The director's testimony on behalf of the mayor offers us a magnificent 16 cent reduction in our residential property tax rate. That's just about to me and the people I'm speaking on behalf of an insult.
Bob Grantham
But the increasing mortality rate can not directly be linked to HIV and Aids. Research studies to determine the increasing mortality rate and its link with HIV and Aids have not been undertaken. The causes of death on the death certificate are not indicated as HIV and Aids and it is therefore difficult to directly link it to HIV and Aids.
Bheki Manzini
The staff and other parties that were involved in the settlement negotiations ... have seen that our rate proposal would absolutely provide certain benefits to our customers and we're happy that they've agreed to the level that they did.
John Maserjian
If they want to continue to grow at an above-average rate, absolutely, they've got to make these investments. The problem is that it's squeezing short-term earnings, and investors don't like that.
Robert Toomey
I'm satisfied with my rate of improvement. I know what to work on for next season and beyond.
Mira Leung
There is a historical pattern that everyone should be aware of because each of the past three newly appointed Fed chairman began their tenure with a quick succession of interest rate hikes.
David Rosenberg
I think playing solo is a second rate activity, really. For me, playing is about playing with other people.
Derek Bailey
We have the lowest average wage rate of any metropolitan area we compete with. This might sound good if you're an employer, but combine this with our rapidly rising cost of living and absence of affordable housing, and rapidly rising housing costs - up 30 percent last year - and you have a formula for failure.
Bob Abberger
Given the election situation, I don't see a sharp rise in fuel prices, but further interest rate hikes won't be a negative political factor.
Hasitha Premaratne
No two ways about it, the July report is bad news. We will have the highest (jobless) rate in the country, or be darn near it.
Patrick Anderson
We like Carlisle a great deal, ... We think with the lowering interest rate environment it should do very well.
Fred Sears
Searching vehicles is boring, but when the dog sets [signaling that it detects explosives or narcotics] your heart rate gets up, and you do things a little more careful.
Hollis Crawford
Rural drivers with lower average incomes will bear the burden for urban drivers who will gain sharp rate cuts.
Dave Kranz
It's a huge company. It can only grow at a certain rate.
Robert Friedman
We expect the combination of a U.S. growth moderation and the lagged impacts of a strong Canadian dollar on factory employment to do a lot of the work in engineering that cooling in Canadian hiring, leaving the Bank of Canada with only another 50 basis points in rate hikes.
Avery Shenfeld
The Vietnam accounting standards for non-performing loans show a rate of about 4 percent. But if they were to apply international standards the rate would probably be closer to 15 percent, a very high rate indeed.
Jonathan Pincus
A low jobless rate should help boost consumption in the first half.
Vickie Hsieh
Higher fuel and energy prices have hit purchasing power, amid a high inflation rate.
Jeff Adams
The current level of initial claims data is consistent with a historically low unemployment rate.
Mike Englund
The fact that Mr. Bennett later acknowledged that such abortions would be 'morally reprehensible,' but added again that if it was done 'the crime rate would go down,' is equally outrageous.
John Conyers
We're going to go to something that is a reasonable rate.
Dave Scott
The expansion process through new acquisition which we had undertaken will continue as we had achieved 14 per cent growth rate.
Harsh Mariwala
The rate of new construction in many areas of Illinois over the past decade is just astounding. Communities need to have programs in place that will help them protect the character of their most cherished buildings and landscapes.
David Bahlman
Propelled by good economic figures, investors are more and more expecting the BOJ to move up the schedule for the end of its zero-rate policy. That's supporting the yen.
Teruhisa Tsuji
Worldwide Internet retail sales were almost $23 billion in 1999 and we expect that to double in 2000. Street estimates for worldwide sales in 2002 are approximately $105 billion, with $65 billion of that in the U.S. This implies an annual growth rate of 80 percent worldwide.
Tom Courtney
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 scary part about this type of flu is there's a 50 percent mortality rate, and there's a predisposition for young adults in their 20s and early 30s.
Nancy Bluhm
The immediate need of the industry is a relaxation of the cap on FDI from the present rate of 26 per cent to 49 or 74 per cent.
Vivek Mehra
The stabilization in the overall coverage rate can be explained by an increase in government coverage — notably Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program — that offset a decline in employment-based coverage.
Charles Nelson
It seems unlikely that he would say anything that would be intended to greatly alter expectations. I don't see what the market has priced in now, in terms of near-term rate actions, to be at odds with the general drift of policy-makers' thinking.
Michael Prell
The bank cannot disregard the exchange rate because the exchange rate can exercise considerable influence on developments in inflation.
Xolile Guma
The yen is looking undervalued at current levels. The Fed is probably getting into the final stage of rate hikes, and Japan and Europe may be coming closer to a tightening policy, so there may be some adjustment in the recent rally in the dollar against the yen and the euro.
Minoru Shioiri
A year and a half ago it was pretty obvious how to forecast the path of the funds rate. Now, I think what happens is really going to depend on the new data that comes in.
Mark Gertler
The factors cited by card issuers are very broad. It appears that anyone - not just people in financial difficulties - could be subjected to a much higher rate for very insignificant reasons.
Linda Sherry
Uncertainty surrounding Oracle's model does not give us confidence that the company can continue to grow earnings at a rate that would drive 20 percent or better stock-price appreciation into 2002.
Christopher Shilakes
We didn't really think that 8.75 was too bad but we've come to understand it is not a very good rate, ... I kind of feel like I don't have a very good deal.
Josh White
The yen is more likely to fall than rise. The BOJ probably won't raise rates anytime soon, keeping the rate-differential story alive.
Yasunori Kuroda
A pause on rate increases would be another plus for stocks.
Bill Strazzullo
Because the school district lies in two counties, I have to pro-rate the amount of tax dollars that I need per county by market-value ratio.
Bill Porter
People who buy market-rate or affordable housing, typically those with a median income, represent about 60 percent of the market.
Ray Rodriguez
It would be healthy for the U.S. housing market if the rate of price appreciation slows and gives income growth a chance to catch up to it, like we've seen in areas like Boston.
Nicolas Retsinas
It really gets complicated if this rate increase doesn't go through. If we don't get the rate increase, we can't make future payments. We'll have to go back to the table with the town to figure out how these payments are going to get made.
Paul Adams
The market's expecting that the interest rate cycle is close to an end and that's the major driver of stock markets today. With the rate cycle coming to an end, people in the U.S. will have more money to spend.
Agnes Deng
She's always had a lot of natural speed. We're still trying to rate her.
Jeff Bonde
We're slightly positive on the bond market for now. A rate move is priced in for June but people have given up on the idea of getting anything earlier.
Cyril Beuzit
That's an incredibly low error rate, given the amount of price changes that take place in a single department store. It's nothing for retailers to be ashamed of.
Pamela Rucker
From an interest rate differential standpoint, that is positive for the dollar, but higher rates might not be so good for the (U.S.) stock market so we could see some selling of (dollar-denominated) assets.
Hugh Walsh
Really, the potential for, first of all, any college graduate today is enormously good. These are good times for anyone with a college degree today, particularly African Americans. With a college degree today, you really breach the unemployment rate.
Alexis Herman
The numbers are very favorable in terms of indicating that inflationary pressures are very subdued. It takes away any last of inclination of that Oct. 5 Fed rate hike.
Marilyn Schaja
Our fourth-graders were very successful. They had just about the same passing rate as our eighth-graders, even though they had to achieve at a higher standard. We have to figure out how to have the same success at eighth grade.
Leslie Jacobs
The general rate of inflation is higher for retirees because of the fact that lots of things retirees spend their money on -- travel, hobbies and health insurance -- are going up at a faster rate than the overall inflation.
Jess Hurst
The goal is to raise India's growth rate from 7 percent to 8 percent and then beyond.
Palaniappan Chidambaram
When you get a move like that in the last few days, it tends to continue. A [single] Fed rate hike isn't going to stop this market - it's not enough. The question is will the Fed keep raising rates until the market corrects itself.
Jim Melcher
Given the Fed's middle-of-the-road statement that the end is somewhere nearer rather than further, it implies that the (U.S.-Canada) interest rate differential is going to narrow, and that is favorable for the Canadian dollar.
Jack Spitz
There?s a high dropout rate between freshman and sophomore year, because it?s such as difficult major.
Peggy Church
Given that fact, the timing, and the rate at which the fires moved, the damage to the plant community might not be as bad as we think it is.
Dr. Ted Mccollum
Monsoon and procurement for various projects have delayed the implementation of the ADP, but we have found that the implementation rate has started to improve by December.
Saifur Rahman
Most funds we see keep their interest rate bets to a minimum.
Scott Berry
Going forward, it is expected that productivity improvements and restraint in upward administered price adjustments will contribute to lower and stable inflation, and a competitive real exchange rate.
Baledzi Gaolathe
Increasing the small-business threshold from $300,000 to $400,000 is terrific news for any small business owner, and decreasing the small business rate from 12 to 11 per cent, again, good news.
Shannon Martin
The bad teacher imposes his ideas and his methods on his pupils, and such originality as they may have is lost in the second-rate art of imitation.
Stephen Neill
The national unemployment rate continues to decline as the economy improves and businesses do better. Companies need to hire at a faster rate this year. That's making it easier for (students) to find employment.
Shawn Boyer
Anomalies in duty structure and reduction of depreciation rate have led to price hike of imported reconditioned cars and jeeps.
Abdul Haque
If they were to put on the table and pay for the increase of the medical so we can actually come up with an increase in hourly rate, I think that could be fair. That depends on community, I think we could accept that.
Mel Kahele
If the government decides on an increase of more than 30 %, the inflation rate would jump by two to three percent and this would burden the people.
Faisal Basri
These bad practices start with the high-rate cards and then they migrate to the cards that everyone else holds and then they become very intense in the marketplace.
Gail Hillebrand
We haven't had the increase of the meter. We have to keep working on the same rate we're used to three years ago.
Pedro Gutierrez
People see fewer interest-rate increases from Canada, so there is less rationale to add to their long positions.
John Rothfield
Our goal is to reinforce our ability to bring competitive products to the rapidly growing optical media product marketplace at a faster rate.
Yoshihide Fujii
Chris Rock doesn't do that, ... They're paying me my normal rate like I was doing a theater or college. So I'm there. Me in someone's living room.
Kathy Griffin
But it's nothing really fundamental: Is it interest rates backing up in the U.S.? Rate expectations backing up? Or the fact that the dollar fell too far too fast last week? It's probably a combination of all of that.
Sophia Drossos
What staggers me at middle and high school is the mobility rate.
Bob Corkins
Average earnings growth was far softer than anticipated. It remained at 3.5% ... and is well below the 4.5% rate that the Bank of England has in the past considered compatible with its inflation forecast.
James Knightley
When we were approached by OGIO about a possible partnership, we knew it would only benefit our auction experience. OGIO produces high-quality products and endorses first-rate athletes; we are excited to partner with a great company that also cares about children and communities.
Bill Milliken
Consumers are very concerned with value given high gas prices, interest-rate increases and high debt levels.
Jackie Fernandez
And yet, the success rate of projects, especially large scale projects, hasn't changed very much.
Robert Charette
The introduction of a preferred inflation rate of zero to two percent has fuelled market expectations that the BOJ could raise rates before the fourth quarter, and that tightening of policy could be larger and faster than markets had previously anticipated.
Monica Fan
This is about graduation. Our schools are graduating at a better rate than anyone else in the country.
Rick Chryst
As an accomplished creative executive, a first rate A&R professional, and a talented musician in his own right, we are fortunate to have Bob join our exceptionally talented A&R team, enabling us to be even more aggressive in signing and developing artists.
Richard Blackstone
We're saying, like a lot of communities do, that here's a value to these jobs. It's a wise investment to look at a differing rate structure for industry.
Bob Wheeler
Controlled inflation will allow the bank to hold the rate at its current level. In my view, potential growth in Colombia is higher than what the consensus believes, so I don't think inflationary pressures will lead the bank to raise rates this year.
Alberto Bernal
We think that further tightening in May and July will push the rate to 12 percent by mid-year.
Beat Siegenthaler
It seems that the ECB is now in a wait-and-see mode following the rate hike in December, which means that interest rate differentials between the US and Europe will not start narrowing (any time soon).
Tatsuro Karitani
Not only is the expanded VAT in place, the government has already raised the VAT rate to 12 percent. There is obviously lesser political noise now than before, so what else does Moody's want before it changes its outlook?
Jose Arnulfo Veloso
If a student failed a course and couldn't graduate with their friends, they often opt not to come back and complete the course they failed. We should have three students graduate with their class, so it's helping our dropout rate.
Robert Carroll
To put an end to firms taking advantage of the lower tax rate in South Africa and to further improve [Lesotho's] competitiveness, Lesotho is cutting the general company tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent effective from April 1.
Timothy Thahane
What it's all adding up to is an economy that's starting to show signs of slowing down. It's not happening very quickly but the earlier Fed rate increases are having an effect.
Stephen Slifer
We still expect that the consumer slowdown will prompt more interest rate cuts.
Jonathan Loynes
We've seen some gyrations in expectations due to the whipsaw that we've seen in the economic data. We're looking for two more increases. At that point, the Fed must be a little bit cautious and take into account the lagged effect of previous rate hikes.
Glenn Haberbush
Having an extra round of wrestling puts more pressure on the kids. You're competing at a faster rate, and it's a longer day.
Sal Imbimbo
In recent weeks we have seen increased demand from customers for a competitive term deposit rate.
Paul Matthews
Still, even in our best years, our hunter success rate for bears is about 3 percent. You have to hunt a lot of years to harvest a bear, and it's rare to get more than one in a lifetime. It's even more rare to get one that big, so it's quite an accomplishment.
Mark Ternent
On balance, the macro outlook continues to point to further rate hikes by the Fed.
Charmaine Buskas
Like those players in the bond market, stock players may have begun to factor in rate hikes in the future.
Ryuta Otsuka
This is an investment that has a tremendous rate of return for the state.
John Mascher
Buying the dollar versus yen is a pretty attractive yield play. It's the same mantra from last year: interest-rate differentials rule.
Tim O'sullivan
A balanced, low-fat diet plus weekly meetings give this large commercial weight-loss program the highest long-term adherence rate of any diet in our analysis.
Consumer Reports
It's not like they're going to add five police officers to the township. There's no high crime rate here.
