Predict Quotations | Page 4

There were some weekends when you had the big new film of the weekend, when you thought you were going to be the only kid on the block. And a film that was a week or two old would be No. 1. There was no way to predict whether people were going to come out for the movies or what they were going to choose.

There's a lot more involved in a pregnancy than the number of eggs that are available in a woman's ovaries. For instance, the test doesn't predict the quality of the eggs, only their number.

This long period of sustained intensity change provides an excellent basis for further work to understand and predict the potential responses of tropical cyclones to changing environmental conditions

The relative stability of U.S. foreclosure inventory ended in December. With lending institutions closing their books at the end of the year, it is somewhat common for the foreclosure inventory to rise. It is premature to predict that December's inventory indicates a foreclosure crisis in the U.S.; however, this rise in inventory, which is higher than in recent years, should be closely monitored as 2006 begins.

A theory may be viewed rather broadly as a statement purporting to describe, or to explain, or to help one to understand a phenomenon. More narrowly, a theory may present a claim of truth, or assert the presence of relationships between phenomena, or predict the occurrence of phenomena.

According to the U.N., more than 2.7 billion people will face severe water shortages by 2025. Many social scientists predict that the next big wars will be over water.

It's just the beginning of the process, so it's nothing that we can really comment on or predict at this point.

It's extremely frustrating. I didn't know how to play No. 44, the younger Daugherty. I thought if I sagged off, she wouldn't shoot, that she'd drive more. They're great players. It was hard to predict what they'd do.

It's a valuable new piece of information. Understanding why carbon dioxide varied in the last glacial maximum is the most important question facing us. If we can't explain the recent past 18,000 to 20,000 years ago, then we can't be confident of our ability to predict the future.

It's 2014, and women are still paid less than men. Does this suggest that a gender pay gap is an unfortunately permanent fixture? Will it still be with us in 50 years? I would predict yes. But by that point, it will be men who will be earning less than women.

It was easy to predict this was going to be an important story.

It's not very often we see a product like this come along. And when it does, it's nearly impossible to keep it on the shelf. It's hard to predict how fast a product will sell; sometimes we have to plan 6 months in advance in order to keep up with the demand.

It's the judge's discretion what to do. It's impossible to predict what will happen. Is extending the bargaining possible? Yes.

It's always nice when you see increased seismic activity and you issue a warning that says you expect an eruption in the next hours to few days that what you predict is actually what happens. It gives us credibility and it sure makes us feel good when we called it right.

It may be on the radar for our friends at Western Digital, but it's not easy. We're already on our fifth-generation product. As they say, the best way to predict the future is to create it and that has been our belief.

It's hard to predict whether this will become some sort of a cultural phenomenon, or if it's just something that's of the moment.

It's hard to predict a support level with downward momentum so strong, but it could be as low as 16,000 for the mid-term. At this point, I'm not quite sure if a rebound on the Nasdaq could help Tokyo stocks recover.

It's pretty scary actually. I predict a lot of systems are going to have to go on water conservation. A lot of people are going to have to stop washing cars and watering their lawns and that kind of thing.

It's pretty early right now to predict the extent of flood damage. We need to do some damage assessments.

Economists predict that this year's federal surplus will be $120 billion less than predicted in January. The missing $120 billion was reportedly last seen on a date with Congressman Gary Condit.

The blood vessels in the eyes share similar anatomic characteristics and other characteristics with the blood vessels in the brain, ... More research needs to be done to confirm these results, but it's exciting to think that this fairly simple procedure could help us predict whether someone will be more likely to have a stroke several years later.

More research needs to be done to confirm these results, but it's exciting to think that this fairly simple procedure could help us predict whether someone will be more likely to have a stroke several years later.

The big concern is tomorrow. What's tomorrow going to bring us if what they're predict happens? Then we could have a pretty good flood probably.

It's crucial to identify the reservoirs of these emerging pathogens so that we can understand how they emerged, and predict and prevent future outbreaks. Civets were originally thought to be the origin of SARS but most researchers realized that the true wildlife reservoir remained a mystery. Our role was to visit the outbreak site and other areas in China and search for this reservoir. We targeted bats because they are the source of other lethal pathogens that have recently emerged, and are part of the wildlife trade throughout Asia.

I've gone to a bunch and I don't know if you can predict it. I might put my name in for delegate to the county convention this time.

I want her to play whatever role she's willing to play. I think she has described a range of possibilities, but her experience and her abilities and her talents are so broad that I would predict that there are other opportunities that will present themselves. And she will discover them. But she is a remarkable woman. And she was a remarkable Senator and she will be remarkable here on post in Japan.

It turns out that when you let people know what other people think, the popular things become more popular. But at the same time, it becomes harder to predict what will be popular.

I'll go on the record and predict somebody's going to get hurt badly in this damn thing. Somebody's going to get hurt and hurt some team. Baseball didn't need this. It's disrupting spring training.

I know it's fashionable in some circles to predict that all strips will be animated in the future, thanks to massive CPU power, wide pipes and powerful animation software, but I don't see it.
