In theory they're supposed to have someone from each of those disciplines, including planning and development, inspection services and code enforcement. They're all supposed to be there at least part time. They're supposed to be trained so they know the ordinances that are applicable to the area. And then they're supposed to enforce them. The question is do we get all that done or not?

Howard Myers

You will see through the trial that the FBI actively avoided running down any John Doe #2 lead in the case if it contradicted their theory that it was just Mr. McVeigh and Mr. Nichols involved.

Aaron Woods

The REIT market is liquid, there are low transaction costs in terms of getting in and out, and you avoid the maintenance headaches of ownership (while maintaining exposure to an asset class) that could perform well in theory should inflation go up.

John Nersesian

He also has spent millions on children with AIDS, ... We can drown them with examples of where Mr. Jackson has been so benevolent, so generous, so charitable, so giving for good causes, that it will make their theory look silly.

Thomas Mesereau

I'm a word man. See, there's this theory about the nature of tragedy, that Aristotle didn't mean catharsis for the audience but a purgation of emotions for the actors themselves. The audience is just a witness to the event taking place on stage.

Jim Morrison

In theory, you want to put the defibrillators in places like senior centers where there are more cardiac arrests. Instead, we saw more defibrillators in schools. This practice may not be maximizing the numbers of lives that could be saved.

Peter Cram

I do the things I love on the theory that ? there might be other people enjoying the same things that I enjoy, ... And I just gravitate to what I think is authentic, pleasurable and has quality.

Francis Ford Coppola

The idea that's been gaining currency in the market is the Fed pause theory, meaning that the Fed raises rates 25 basis points in September and then, because inflation pressures are contained, they pause for a while, skipping a move in November and maybe even December. The (producer price index) data this morning kind of fed into that theory.

Josh Stiles

It's a cluster theory of development. We bring our top players together and put them in an environment with all the necessary resources to excel.

Craig Tiley

I don't think he was very successful in discrediting her story completely. He did a nice textbook cross-examination and got two or three points out for his theory.

David Japha

The end of science is not to prove a theory, but to improve mankind.

Manly Hall

It's all based on the discount airlines theory.

Dale Moser

Using signaling theory, the conclusion has to be that managers of acquiring companies are using a higher proportion of cash relative to the last M&A cycle, as they believe that there is greater upside relative to downside risk in acquisitions.

Clive Mcdonnell

It is disturbing to discover in oneself these curious revelations of the validity of the Darwinian theory. If it is true that we have sprung from the ape, there are occasions when my own spring appears not to have been very far.

Cornelia Otis Skinner

For our purposes, we define (William James) theory of pragmatism to mean that instead of just talking about something, you should get out and do it. An idea doesn't have a worth until it is acted upon.

Andy Stoll

The theory is to help others, but to participate (in SHARE) you have to help others however you see fit. It's a win/win program.

Astrid Maples

Just because they call it a theory doesn't make it a scientific theory, ... The concept of an intelligent designer is not a scientifically testable assertion.

Alan Leshner

The theory of computation has traditionally been studied almost entirely in the abstract, as a topic in pure mathematics. This is to miss the point of it. Computers are physical objects, and computations are physical processes. What computers can or cannot compute is determined by the laws of physics alone, and not by pure mathematics.

David Deutsch

It really is a nice theory. The only defect I think it has is probably common to all philosophical theories. It's wrong.

Saul Kripke

It's the same theory that Lance Armstrong exploits whenever he's riding in the Tour de France. He's taking advantage of the draft created by other riders to reduce the amount of effort he has to make.

Michael Shames

Our theory in the Internet is buy the street, not the store, ... We'd rather own the street instead of just an individual store on the street. And Earthlink certainly fits that bill. And again, relative to the other stocks, it's the cheapest in the group.

Tony Dwyer

The theory on my part is to read; reading is the answer. Read anything that you can get your hands on. I would try to make sure that the author has something to say. Take a wide selection of authors: old, new, prose, poets, novels, epics, and all that stuff. ..Think about it and find something to talk about.

William Scott

The only way to know something absolutely is to experience it for yourself; anything less is theory, speculation, and belief. .

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Assuming that it holds up -- and I believe it will -- this is a theory that both greatly clarifies the way that most stars in the universe probably form, and also ties the properties of the solar system and Earth itself back to the conditions in the larger astrophysical environment in which we formed.

Jeff Hester

Prohibition may be a disputed theory, but none can complain that it doesn't hold water.

Tom Masson

We're proceeding on a provocative-act murder theory. If you do something that can provoke a lethal response, you're liable for the crime partner's death.

Jon Hopkins

Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not on reasoning but on doctrinaire adherence to religious principles.

James D. Watson

The original theory was Netburst would show increasing performance benefits with increasing frequency. It didn't work quite the way Intel had anticipated.

Nathan Brookwood

Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.

Niels Bohr

Every theory of love, from Plato down, teaches that each individual loves in the other sex what he lacks in himself.

G. Stanley Hall

In theory yes this (interest rate hike) would work but the problem we have is that on the other hand the government cannot rein in spending.

Anthony Hawkins

We didn't just take an emotional response, we [realized] our situation, used theory and practice, and engaged them to read and study how their people are effected by various situations. Intellect guided what we where doing, regardless of education level. Black berets and leather jackets were not what we were about. We were about transformation and consistency to benefit them, not suppress them.

Aaron Scott

Obviously, this is theory and easier said than done. Tracking every nickel is a big process and a lot of people don't do it. You can make the best budget, but if you don't track it, what good does it do? In my house, every month, we compare the actual to the budget. It's not fun. My wife hates me for it. But you have to track what you're spending.

Howard Dvorkin

The investigation is still open, but we have an initial theory.

Manuel Gonzalez

You know very well that unless you're a scientist, it's much more important for a theory to be shapely, than for it to be true.

Christopher Hampton

This is the old armchair quarterback theory. Everybody thinks they can be a better coach, a better general manager, a better owner.

Greg Ambrosius

It could be a valid theory if you are just talking monetarily.

Richard Billingsley

That child was never abused by any member of this family. She was loved, she was given opportunities that people at the age of 90 sometimes don't experience. This all leads back to my theory of envy and jealousy.

Pamela Paugh

Our policy proposal for science education is that students should learn the strengths and the scientific weaknesses of modern Darwinian theory.

Stephen Meyer

Our theory is, you hit people once a year.

Renee Bloom

This process is highly dependent on the fact that the functions of promiscuous proteins can be altered with just a small number of amino acid substitutions, a property known as plasticity. It was our contention that the application of the theory of divergent molecular evolution to promiscuous enzymes would enable us to design enzymes with greater specificity and higher activity.

Jay Keasling

Basically, the grant is like a theory and we have to prove it.

Todd Bailey

He drew for me on a piece of paper all of my scales. Every week it was something new. That was my first introduction to music theory.

Ben Jaffe

My theory is it doesn't have an effect if you train hard while you're trying to gain weight. If you're just gaining weight you'll come out all stiff.

Bryan Thomas

The quantum theory of parallel universes is not the problem, it is the solution. It is not some troublesome, optional interpretation emerging from arcane theoretical considerations. It is the explanation, the only one that is tenable, of a remarkable and counter-intuitive reality.

David Deutsch

Cranks live by theory, not by pure desire. They want votes, peace, nuts, liberty, and spinning-looms not because they love these things, as a child loves jam, but because they think they ought to have them. That is one element which makes the crank.

Dame Rose Macaulay

The only thing that permits us to acquiesce in an erroneous theory is the lack of a better one; analogously, an injustice is tolerable only when it is necessary to avoid an even greater injustice.

John Rawls

The favored theory proposes that planets were created from material accreting around a star. Around red dwarfs, the theory predicts Earth- and Neptune-sized planets to be more common than Jupiter-sized planets. The planets would be located between 0.1 and 10 times the Earth-Sun distance from their stars.

Bohdan Paczynski

We're definitely seeing species going extinct because of climate change. We're going to lose the penguins. We're going to lose the polar bears, no question. . . . I'm seeing high mountain butterflies literally being pushed off the mountains. This is happening. It is not theory. It is not people saying, 'Oh, we think it might happen.' It is happening, and it is incredibly depressing.

Camille Parmesan

The combination of Compaq's AltaVista resources -- which include Shopping.com and Zip2 -- together with the CMGI expertise with building Internet properties, looks like a really strong combination. If you think about it, each company gets to do what they do best, and both of them, in theory, will be able to share in the rewards going forward.

Paul Merenbloom

We kind of play alike. We believe in zones and discipline. We're so much alike on coaching theory.

Archie Carlyle

Our theory is if it's not broke, don't fix it.

Marc Danley

Through that theory, there is every incentive to go back. The 10,000-foot view is it would be very difficult to be illegal and be here.

Will Adams

Phantom Menace, ... disprove the theory that a Memorial Day release is the save-all of the industry.

Robert Bucksbaum

Life sends you angels sometimes when you're in need and, in my theory, it's usually never the people you expect to be there, ... They are often gone the people that appear with a piece of advice or something they want to give to you to help you through are generally surprising people and I wanted Kirsten's character to be that.

Cameron Crowe

My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing.

Jessica Alba

My theory is an empty pen is a good pen, now that I'm getting older. Buckets are getting heavier, and the hills are getting steeper.

Jimmie Spady

The Big Bang theory was controversial because many scientists thought it had philosophical and even religious overtones they didn't like.

Michael Behe

There's no reason, in theory, why we can't replicate this effect at room temperature, and we've already seen emission at 1,300 nanometers where telecommunications lasers work. There are challenges still to be overcome, and I'd expect to see this in production in three to four years.

Andrew Shields

One meteorologist remarked that if the theory were correct, one flap of a seagull's wings would be enough to alter the course of the weather forever.

Konrad Lorenz

Marriage is based on the theory that when man discovers a brand of beer exactly to his taste he should at once throw up his job and go work in the brewery.

George Jean Nathan

The fact that most biology texts act more as cheerleaders for Darwin's theory rather than trying to develop the critical faculties of their students shows the need, I think, for such statements.

Michael Behe

In the time of Galileo it was argued that the texts, 'And the sun stood still ... and hasted not to go down about a whole day' (Joshua x. 13) and 'He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not move at any time' (Psalm cv. 5) were an adequate refutation of the Copernican theory.

Alan Turing

I have a simple theory. If the Seahawks win on Sunday, productivity is going to go up.

Brian Vincent

The culled-cohort theory is based on the assumption that it is not in the mother's interest to have small or weak male offspring during times of stress. Weak males are less likely to survive to age of reproduction. Even if they do survive, they must then compete with strong males for females.

Ralph Catalano

It appears to me that there is some possibility that someone is supplying money to be given to the Black campaign. If my theory is right, we're going to have to have somebody willing to tell us the truth.

Larry Leake

If the Intelligent Design theory is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also based on science, not on faith.

Bobby Henderson

Not a bad theory as long as you get players in the category of the best high school players who aren't (early entrants). I don't think they are quite that good.

Brick Oettinger

The theory that autism is the extreme of the male brain is not strongly supported by these data.

David Skuse

It's only a theory, but we believe the protein escapes from dying, infected cells nearby and then enters the 'bystander' B cell.

Andrea Cerutti

The European Commission overreached itself in the G.E.-Honeywell case. It pushed theories like the 'conglomerate effects' theory too far, and fitted the facts of the case to suit the theory.

Alec Burnside

Everyone asks the question why they couldn't wait for these few months. My theory is that they felt threatened by my plans to pursue action for combating corruption.

Tsakhia Elbegdorj

You could, in theory, get a hole-in-one off two banks. It's not terribly complex. I was less worried about the course than the scenery.

Danny Roberts

They told me I should be a music major. I was really intimidated. I had been taking piano lessons since I was 7, but I was worried because there is all this theory training.

Sonia Gariaeff

I have a theory that great things will find their way into the world. Women were weeping at screenings. That was a real wake-up call.

Trudie Styler

We have a little different theory about when teams get runs on us. We like to keep it up tempo and tire teams out.

Rich Falter

I do believe we will be a tough out this year. There is not as much teaching this year at the varsity level, so we can focus more on improving what we already know, which in theory, will make us stronger throughout the season.

Jason Pires

In theory it may seem all right to some, but when it comes to being made the instrument of the Lord's vengeance, I myself don't like it.

Robert Gould Shaw

My theory was that they all saw me do it and if Andy Mac could do it ...' Macdonald said.

Danny Way

The mathematical frontier of a certain kind of social theory.

Thomas Schelling

Students learned about crisis management and how to address the media when something goes wrong, as well as how these fictional public relations professionals handled ethical problems. Instead of just talking about ethical standards or spin theory during class, we had real examples of professionals working with different kinds of news media, such as 'Larry King Live' and the 'Today Show.'

Josh Boyd

The charges were ridiculous. The whole theory of the government's case was ridiculous, and I wished they looked at the evidence like I and the jurors did.

Jonathan Burge

The bullet just grazed Roberson's head. The theory is Roberson retaliated when the alleged shooting happened.

Larry Liddell

The greatest mathematicians, as Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, always united theory and applications in equal measure.

Felix Klein

In theory, a merger between two big vendors means retailers would be dealing eventually with one accounting unit and one distribution unit rather than a different set of units for both companies.

Tom Doyle

Crash programs fail because they are based on theory that, with nine women pregnant, you can get a baby a month.

Werner Von Braun

It's easy to come up with one new example of a minimal surface, but this one is of a very different nature than others that have been found before. So it's opened a new field within the theory of minimal surfaces.

Matthias Weber

I don't know if college actually changes your viewpoint; it just gives you more depth. There is actually a theory called the reinforcement thesis, which says that people acquire a mental lens or filter at a very young age. As you get older you tend to accept more readily the information that reinforces that view and reject information that contradicts it.

Glenn Antizzo

Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.

Isaac Asimov

It's a huge mistake to theorize before one has the facts because you begin to twist the facts to match the theory.

Aaron Woods

The international community should not ignore such continued manifestations of Pakistani irresponsibility, loose talk and undiluted hostility towards India and the continued concoction of doomsday theory to justify Pakistan's use of nuclear blackmail.

Nirupama Rao

I just can't explain to you the mother bear theory of protecting. You try in so many ways to protect your child all the time and you simply can't be there every minute of the day.

Lisa Carlton

My judgment is that simply because a prosecutor decides that one approach is more effective than another doesn't necessarily suggest some major weakness or anything other than a continuing effort to adjust the case to what appears to be the most favorable theory.

George Dix

At the heart of the U.N. debate on terrorism are underlying issues of defining power, just war theory and double standards. There is some hope that in 2006 the long-awaited Comprehensive Convention Against International Terrorism, which includes a definition of terrorism, will be presented to the General Assembly.

Alex P. Schmid

It has no ability to develop new knowledge through hypothesis testing, modification of the original theory based on experimental results and renewed testing through more refined experiments that yield still more refinements and insights.

Hunter Rawlings

The technical challenges were solved in theory but not in practice.

Laurie Zoloth

I like us matching up with 3-point shooters. My theory is if you're going to live by it, you're going to die by it. How many times do you see somebody make more than eight or 10 in a game. If they make eight, that's 24 points and if they don't get second or third shots off of them, they're fighting to get 40 points on us with our size.

Bill Butterworth

Science and the Ultimate Reality: Quantum Theory, Cosmology, and Complexity.

Paul Davies

We hope to see more Tastefully Tackys down the road. I go by the theory of reciprocity - if we are accommodating to our customers, they will give us something back in return.

Michael Egan

In theory this is useful but in practice I would not expect more than changes at the margin.

Daniel Gros

In theory, when you buy into a subdivision, you buy into certain conditions and certain lot sizes. A lot split could change that.

Patsy Christie

The theory is that the hard disc doesn't have to run all the time. Flash-based cache can reduce the number of reads to the hard disc and eliminate a lot of writes.

Richard Walsh

The worst censors are those prohibiting criticism of the theory of evolution in the classroom.

Phyllis Schlafly

The doubts about Darwin's theory are very much like the doubts heard 150 years ago. The show is not about the controversy but about Darwin's life and adventures.

Michael Novacek

It's like music theory, which was created to study what already was. Bluegrass exists, and since it's been around long enough there are people who want to talk about it.

Bela Fleck

Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities.

George Boole

A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street.

David Hilbert

My own theory is that Roman thinks of himself as Oliver Twist.

Ronald Harwood

You have a perfect right to use your imagination as you will in developing the principles, but the fundamental scientific theory must be correct.

Hugo Gernsback

Prohibition may be a disputed theory, but none can say that it doesn't hold water.

Thomas L. Masson

We're going with the theory of working together as a team, they may be more willing to clean up, and we'd offer our help.

Jacci Jahnke

Lowering the bar creates a novel theory of impeachment, ... It would permanently weaken the presidency.

Abbe Lowell

Found common denominators between game theory principles and those of Israeli tradition.

Robert Aumann

Bonds are well bid on the theory that this will slow down the U.S. economy.

Andrew Brenner

We only have theories about the biggest waves, because it's hard to get observations to quantify the theory.

David Vallee

Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.

Niels Bohr

There was no rational reason why monkeys might prefer one of these options over the other because, according to the theory of expected value, they're identical.

Michael Platt

There's no software out there to do what we did. This has been a significant collaboration of people. There was the research, anthropology, scientific theory, then changing it to the three-dimensional world.

Jeffrey Schwartz

The modern physicist is a quantum theorist on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and a student of gravitational relativity theory on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sunday he is praying. . . that someone will find the reconciliation between the two views.

Norbert Wiener

The Dow Theory is really in kind of a crossroads here that will probably be resolved in the next month or two.

Charles Carlson

While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.

Andrea Dworkin

Essential to the theory of evolution is the premise that everything has come into being by itself.

Walter Lang

It's our theory that everything trickles down from there, ... That if you have high salaries, good conditions, you have good support. You have a lot of communication between teachers, you pay for teachers' supplemental training, and the students learn.

Dave Eggers

The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble.

Paul Dirac

I do not agree with this theory that a goalkeeper needs security. Both players have raised their level because they are being pushed.

Jurgen Klinsmann

In theory, you would have people buying computers with XP Home in 2006, and it would immediately have to be upgraded. There are also a lot of consumers with older hardware who would have to buy a new computer to be secure.

Paul Degroot

The theory is that her owner was either a truck driver or owns a diesel car.

Yvonne Hester

Even when faced with his own death, he initiated the 'laughter is the best medicine' theory.

Kathie Pontus

Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none.

Thomas Kuhn

The theory is that a thief won't spend the time or the money to replace the window.

Mike Stewart

We've long held to the theory that the valuation gap between the U.S. and Europe would pay off for investors. But the very good times are over.

Thomas Meier

To keep it out is anti-education. ... You can't just tell children that they come from monkeys and to forget all about any other theory for how life began and the incredible design of the universe and the human body.

Randy Thomasson

Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking.

R. Buckminster Fuller

A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever may be its theory, must, in practice, be a bad government.

Joseph Story

In theory I'm naked underneath.

Daniel Radcliffe

We totally and one hundred percent sign off on 'the semiconductor sector is recovering' theory, ... There were a lot of analysts saying they were going to reduce the range. Midpoint is a victory.

Jonathan Joseph

Information in the context of information theory does not include 'meaning,' but it focuses on how rare, surprising, predictable or complex a message is.

Ryuji Suzuki

[It is good to know that we need no longer rack our brains trying to grasp the fine points of Austrian business-cycle theory. Economic theory is as illusory as physics:] there's nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. ... American recovery beginning in 1933.

Robert Higgs

Senators want to know, `Does she have an overarching theory of jurisprudence? How would she approach cases?'

Carl W. Tobias

Because of the Turing completeness theory, everything one Turing-complete language can do can theoretically be done by another Turing-complete language, but at a different cost. You can do everything in assembler, but no one wants to program in assembler anymore.

Yukihiro Matsumoto

I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour, ... I always felt that was too young of an age for that.

Hale Irwin

[If no one wants to seriously take my theory that working in the booth maybe hurting his career on the mound, so be it. But if there's a major league hitter out there who might be scouting Leiter off what he says on tube,] let us know, ... We'd like to interview him.

Ed Goren

I think that's a theory in economics that that is what happens, ... We think some of it is very conservative.

Elizabeth Baker

Bleep theory belongs in philosophy, not a science class. But I think it does have enough merit to be a topic of conversation somewhere other than the backwoods and closets.

Eric Johnson

With today's technology, a new refinery could be really clean - far cleaner than today's refineries - in theory.

Eric Schaeffer

Some people in the United States have intensified the cooked-up case of China's theft of U.S. nuclear technology and that of political contributions. They are totally driven by ulterior motives with the real purpose of encouraging the China threat theory and inciting anti-China sentiment, and shifting the people's attention from the embassy bombing case.

Zhu Bangzao

I observe that there are two entirely different theories according to which individual men seek to get on in the world. One theory leads a man to pull down everybody around him in order to climb up on them to a higher place. The other leads a man to help everybody around him in order that he may go up with them.

Elihu Root

Both inside and outside the classroom, he's really genuinely concerned about both theoretical and practical issues. That's another thing that's distinctive. He's really able to join theory and practice and that is often a rare quality.

Eric Gregory

Its essential religious nature does not change whether it is called 'creation science' or 'intelligent design' or 'sudden emergence theory. The shell game has to stop.

Eric Rothschild

I think eventually this will feed back into modifying our understanding of population genetic theory and how sensitive it is to real-life events.

Elizabeth Hadly

This is the first really good demonstration that the theory works on something like a star cluster.

Erick T. Young

If the results from measurements such as those that could be made with SNAP lie outside the thawing or freezing scenarios, then we may have to look beyond quintessence, perhaps to even more exotic physics, such as a modification of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to explain dark energy.

Eric Linder

The idea of having a real transition period makes eminent sense, and most member states would tend to agree in theory. The problem is, can they settle on a candidate by the middle of the year? It would be a major triumph, but I'm not betting the farm on it.

Edward Luck

I'll bet they felt the same way about Ibanez when he came here, ... So much for that fourth outfielder theory.

Emil Brown

Earlier research has shown that poor blood flow can damage these parts of the brain. So one theory is that exercise may prevent damage and might even help repair these areas by increasing blood flow.

Dr. Eric Larson

I never say that evolution is a fact. Evolution is a theory. It's much more important than a fact, because theories explain things.

Eugenie Scott
