I can't predict what the job cuts would be.

I can't predict what that value might be, but it is fantastically interesting to me to have a chance, maybe within my lifetime, for scientists to see up-close what those objects look like and to begin our reconnaissance of that region of space.

From my perspective, it's a little too early to predict that what we're seeing is in fact a slowdown in any (national) economy, ... Having said that, if in fact (an economic slowdown) does happen, I think what you'll see is a reallocation of technology spending dollars, not a diminution.

I don't think anybody can predict at this time what the future holds for the H5 outbreaks. It's pretty scary.

I don't think you can apply that to all schools. It's so hard to predict what opportunities and interests students will have in 20 years, or what the job market will be like in 15 or 20 years from now. I don't think anybody, schools or parents, can base their instruction primarily on that.

I don't think you can predict that a guy's going to go down a week before training camp and have back surgery. The bottom line is that he can't play.

I don't think it makes any sense for me to predict where anything's going. We all know things are not predictable.

We're pleased to extend our collaboration which combines our strengths in analyzing and understanding genetic variation associated with multiple common diseases with Merck's extensive knowledge of the biology underlying neurodegenerative diseases and its global leadership in the development of innovative therapeutics. This target validation program is one example of the value we're able to provide our therapeutic partners worldwide; other examples include identifying individuals who may benefit most from early therapeutic treatment and predict those individuals who will best respond to new therapies.

We've evaluated a bunch of these now, ... We've determined you can't possibly predict how they're going to rule on a certain set of facts in a given case.

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 do not want is either a New Orleans situation or a Tsunami situation -- that is you could predict something was going to happen but you don't do anything about it to prepare.

He recovered well from each of the first two surgeries, but it's hard to predict exactly how long it's going to take -- especially with the upcoming surgery. So I think he still has a long road in front of him.

has taught us that you can't really predict what's going to happen during any season. I think we're going to make up ground.

I would say no company has a lot of visibility past a couple of quarters all you can have is a framework. No question that going out a couple of years is really hard to do, and the level of certainty you can predict two years from now is lower than even what you can predict in the current quarter.

It can predict the trajectory of the ball down to a couple of millimetres.

I think it's a possibility, a real possibility that this time the Conservatives will win. I really believe it. I'm certainly not going to predict a majority government, but anything can happen in an election.

I think the fact that referees are going to have consistent partners, and they're usually only going to work just one conference - they'll get more familiar with us and we'll get more familiar with them - we hope that improves your ability to predict what a referee will and will not call.

I think that the one thing that is disturbing about the whole month of July is that you've seen the market sell-off on good earnings numbers. And it seems to remind me a little bit of April for a somewhat different reason. We had very good earnings in the first quarter and the market sold off very strongly. We're starting to see the same pattern in July. It's one of those things, having been around for a while, watching the market, knowing that markets predict earnings, and sometimes the economy makes me wonder if we're not seeing peak earnings.

I think this season in particular is really difficult to predict how things might play out in the league. Our team is as unpredictable as any team in the league. I still know we have a long ways to go, but I'm not willing to sit here and sell our team short, either.

Our research pointed to rapid global warming and the shifting of climate zones. Our climate models predict warmer and drier summers for Europe, with warmer and wetter winters.

Part of the reason the January barometer works so well is a statistical faux pas. It uses January to predict the year, not the following 11 months.

Spending patterns last year for the weekend of Dec. 7 when the storm hit were significantly above the average for the holiday season, up 19 percent, ... While it's difficult to predict exactly how consumers will respond this time around, a winter storm certainly does increase the convenience appeal and the likelihood that consumers will shift their spending from offline to online channels.

When that happens, it's a clock. It's nature's clock, and we are able to predict tide levels based on what we record today. Today, as I speak, right in front of me there's a construction crew.

We haven't really heard anything that would help us predict how this ultimately will be resolved.

Wherever she looked, that's where the ball went. She's capable of winning. I don't think anyone can predict something like that in any golf tournament, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me if she would win.

We have had a series of rate increases since last year, and so far we have not felt any impact on retailing off all of these increases. However, eventually something will have to give. I would predict that, say towards the end of the year, the fourth quarter, the very all-important holiday fourth quarter, we are going to see that the rate increases will finally take a bite. And that could be a comfort to retailing.
