Nick Adams

We had them just where we wanted them. We wanted them running and wanted to get them in that game. They were able to catch some wind (with the timeouts) and that's what kind of slowed us down. We just dug too deep a hole and it was just too hard to get out of.

Brad Podevels

It gave us a rush and our momentum picked up, but we slowed down for a couple minutes and they retaliated on us. In the second half, we just picked our game up again.

I felt like we didn't have any intensity.

John Coffman

I'm very satisfied with this win because we slowed down on turnovers and got a lot of errors and steals in the first half.

Brandon Warren

It all just slowed her down a little bit, but now she is healed up and is performing out there. She is making things happen and talking to the team. So we are hoping good things keep coming.

It's slowed down a bit since last spring and summer. The real question is whether it's more than just the seasonal slowdown.

Last year when people slowed down our run, we had a young quarterback and we dropped balls and we made mistakes, ... There's going to be probably nine or 10 guys in the box. So then we have to be willing to throw the football.

George Gilbert

I think our zone slowed them down, and allowed us to calm down. It gave our offense a little confidence because we were getting defensive stops. When we get stops, we get excited on offense.

Jim Bolla

We were making quite a bit of birdies to begin the day and then we slowed down once we made the bogey on five. We just seemed to be hitting it in the rough and in the wrong place.

Bo Bae Song

This is Division I. When I was at junior college they didn't hit like that. I left my feet. I slowed him down a little bit, but I got my head rung a little bit.

Russell Hobson

The traffic out there is really bad. It needs to be slowed down.

Linda Mack

Ken Griffey

The exercise has slowed down. It's not going on as we had expected. In some areas, the warriors have completely refused to hand over their guns voluntarily to the army and the disarmament committees.

Lt. Henry Obbo

Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.

Terry Pratchett

He is on the life support system in the intensive care unit. The bleeding from the liver seems to have slowed down but the kidney function remains poor.

Phil Ramon

We're definitely seeing profit-taking. The momentum has kind of slowed down, and people are just sitting back, watching.

Hedi Reynolds

We haven't played the same type of game two games in a row. Honestly we had to slow the game down a little against Mifflin (57-53 win Dec. 20) and Brookhaven (58-53 win Feb. 11) and we just slowed it down in a lot of different fashions (last Friday). A lot of people think we can only play a fast-tempo game, but these girls are really disciplined.

Will Mckinney

There's absolutely no question that the U.S. economy is on a tear and needs to be slowed.

I don't think it was the pressure of the contract or anything else. I really think it was the physical shortcomings he had to deal with because of the injuries, and that kind of slowed him down in the first half.

Al Macneil

The game has slowed down for Drew. As long as he keeps doing what he's doing, I don't see us losing anytime soon.

Those high oil prices are a burden on U.S. families, on firms' production costs. But the good news is that at least so far the U.S. economy has not been slowed by the high energy prices.

Consumption continues to rise on higher farm incomes, rising employment and increasing consumer loans. Still, rising material costs slowed construction.

Tim Wallace

The UK slowed in the fourth quarter but quite clearly it's going to be a good summer for the consumer given the level of competition.

Tim Attenborough

Medicare spending has slowed dramatically in the last year. It's now growing at less than 2 percent, which is the slowest rate of growth since the program started in 1965.

Lars Kreckel

We have slowed trains down through the area.

Meg Scheu

Production slowed down, so we slowed down the running of trains, too. It was not necessarily an issue of trains available but having the coal available to put into the trains.

Leah Stokes

It was a real up-tempo game in the first half. Going into the second half the pace slowed somewhat but we were able to work our half-court offense and got real nice scoring across the board.

We came out a little flat at the beginning of the third. We were trying a few new things so that slowed us a bit. The girls kicked it in and continued to play hard.

Ara Hovnanian

David Shapiro

We slowed the tempo down, didn't get in a hurry. We blocked out a lot better.

Corey Parish

It's easier at the beginning of the race because the tires are fresh and I still have a lot of energy, as well. The last 10 laps slowed down because I took it easy if someone wasn't willing to let me pass.

Clayton Smith

As it progresses, we'll probably add other therapies for her management to keep her having a good quality of life for as long as I can. She jumps up and down off my couch, and her activity has not slowed down. She runs up and down the stairs like they're nothing.

Ilona Green

The girls did a good job of handling Summit's pressure. We just took our time and slowed down a little bit.

Brad Poppe

These arrests have not slowed us down.

Abby Bellows

We remain positive on stocks. Profits have been upgraded, and the economy hasn't slowed. This gives investors confidence.

Scott Leggett

It was the right move at the right time. It was perfect. They slowed down a little bit, and we took advantage of it.

Rusty Smith

He's gotten bigger and on film it doesn't look like he's slowed down any.

Bill O'boyle

It's definitely slowed the last couple of months. And if you're in this business, you're always worried.

The stock collapsed back down to 6 in two months because (the company's) growth rate was 650 percent in 1995 and it slowed to 87 percent in 1996. Eighty-seven percent is fast growth -- but it's at nosebleed valuations.

Liam Dalton

There's a lot of optimism that the interest rate hikes have slowed the economy.

Tom Connor

I've adapted my footwork and my punches are a lot harder now. My first fight was like my amateur fights. I went in there with fast feet and fast hands but now I've slowed it down so I'm adapting to it and getting more power into my shots.

Aamir Khan

Today's data confirmed the continued upsurge in Chinese demand, which had slowed during late 2004 and early 2005, as well as firm demand in the US, so Japanese exports are most likely to maintain brisk gains in the near term.

Osamu Katano

Our original date to get this done was 2005, but I told the board to slow it down and do it in phases ... that moved to fall 2007. If anything, I've slowed the talk down.

Nicki Harrington

We didn't shoot very well and they slowed us down. We played hard and fought to the end, but we didn't play our style.

Nelson Cundiff

Evidence is accumulating that growth in the fourth quarter slowed in the euro zone. Two-year bonds should profit from this development.

Kirby Copeland

It slowed me down, but I think have been able to catch up.

Victoria Weltz

Oakmont slowed down the game and ran down the shot clock on every possession. We did a good job in the second half, holding them to 11 points.

Their zone defense slowed us down a bit in the first half. Savannah has a great coach and they played great. But we did a better job of attacking the zone in the second half. It was also a testament to our defense.

The storm, yes, it's slowed us down. We've kind of taken a back seat.

Larry Hamilton

The spreading of the worm has slowed down slightly, but the real cost is going back and cleaning computers.

John Pescatore

We're back and forth in the triple, but he knows I'm better than him. I actually stopped on my run through because I knew I was going to be over the line. So I slowed down, stopped and I still jumped. It kind of ended up being like a standing still jump.

Josh Butler

The thing that people need to remember is that downsizing may be back on the front pages, but the downsizing never slowed down. Downsizing has been a constant and regular feature of the new working world, and it will continue to be.

Bruce Tulgan

He slowed down somewhat after that, but I think that was due to the problem with his ankle.

Tim Loomis

We felt at halftime that we had to stop Howe. Quisenberry stepped up big for us. He played well for us offensively (10 points) and he really slowed Howe down in the second half.

Glen Drury

I knew I could go to the body. He slowed down. Once he did that, I knew the fight was mine. It was just a matter of time.

Jesus Rodriguez

Brett's never been a model for footwork, and those things and that injury kind of slowed him down where his feet were more under control and it factored into all that.

Ty Detmer

At the start we tried to get back on defense as fast as we could because we saw in the last game they were beating the other team down the court and getting fast break points. They did a little, but we slowed them down and got our tempo going.

Blake Hoffarber

Believe it or not, I think we slowed him down. But I really think the difference was we did a good job of defending the other four guys.

John Callaghan

They have a tremendous defense. It was mostly my fault. I let it get to me. I should have slowed it down a little bit.

Dan Oziminski

The underlying themes are interest rates and commodity pricing. Home buying has slowed down, thus the consumer furnishings area has started to hurt, and in some cases consumers aren't buying any clothes anymore.

Joe Cooper

That was a momentum shift for NFA with that run in the second quarter. They went to that half-court trap and that gave us a lot of problems. That (trap) slowed us down and created the tempo they wanted to play at.

Rob Mileski

Compaq, for example, had too much product and slowed down the rate at which they built new machines.

Art Russell

Existing home sales have slowed. Softness here is a forward-looking concern to be monitored.

Tom O'connell

It was a low-scoring, ugly game. We both slowed the game down. It got ugly for a while.

Quentin Richardson

When the boat capsized, it had slowed. It was wallowing. It took on water.

Chris O'neil

It was the key to the game. It didn't slow them down. It slowed Jeter down. It kept him on the other side of half court because once he got past half court, he was in range to shoot it.

Dan Brinkley

If there are no compensations for the Mezzogiorno (Italy's poor southern region) then Italy will ask that the enlargement eastwards be slowed down.

Jeff Marcus

We slowed down a little. We didn't force shots, and we took care of the ball.

Adam Dauksas

Everything's slowed way down. It confirms what we've been talking about. Buyers are sitting on the fence because they don't know where the market is headed.

What will slow this market down, and has slowed certain segments of the market down, is overpricing, ... Back in the spring there was such a frenzy that very pedestrian product was drawing multiple bids.

Pamela Liebman

The second half, we seemed like we picked up the pressure more and once we did, it seemed like it slowed them down to help us score a lot more.

Ed Andes

Even though sales have slowed down in other neighborhoods, we have stayed consistent. There is a persistent need for entry-level housing. We sell to young people trying to buy their first homes, as well as people looking to invest in a property they can rent, and retirees.

Ed Waller

We tried to run with them early and that was more to their pace. We slowed it down after that and made them play our pace.
