Increasingly, firms have been adding expensive technology supports and perhaps haven't seen the real benefit of it, ... In the face of perhaps a slower revenue growth in the future, (profit) margins could become strained.

Michael Flanagan

They were slower today with the heat and the fact that this is our fourth meet in 10 days. We kinda called it a 'workout meet' today.

Dale Phillips

The money came in a little slower this year than in previous years because of fears of economic downturn, Katrina, high gas prices. It came right down to the wire this year.

Ronnie Hepperly

As a team leader, that's what I should do. Help the team out. If I can pace someone through the race, that's great. Kara just needed someone to take her out a little slower. We work well together in practice, so why not in a race?

Kristen Fletcher

If we hadn't had construction doing what it was doing, things would have been slower, much slower, Maybe half of that 3.8 percent.

John Church

Momentum weakened a little bit as we saw a slower flow of funds into the market. But we are cautiously optimistic with strong support seen at the 15,200 level.

Alfred Chan

Horses are slower, there's no doubt about that. And the guys with the horses can only make money on certain types of cutting. It has to be high valuable timber for them to make enough money to do it.

Robert Strong

Slower U.S. growth may reduce growth in oil demand in the second half of the year. We are seeing proof of reduced U.S. consumer confidence.

Dariusz Kowalczyk

It's a slower pace. There's a wider generation of people here — you have young and old.

Hydi Cowger

I think it comes from being more excited and pumping each other up more in the locker room, and we try to do that. I think the team would rather, maybe come out slower and pour it on in the second half. It may not be something we have to change, but maybe alter a little bit, because we do have out come out stronger.

Maggie Gibson

New order activity has remained weak throughout the quarter and our overall backlog has declined. The magnitude of this downturn is greater than we, or our customers anticipated, and the progress in reducing excess inventory in the channel appears to be slower than they originally thought.

Dave Rickey

I thought I was running slower. I don't know what happened. I guess I was running faster.

David Hansen

The hurricane heading to the U.S. coast is raising fears of oil production cutbacks, higher energy prices and a slower U.S. economy.

Sal Guatieri

We've been traveling back and forth to Milwaukee. We need to be able to skate fast on slower ice or at lower altitude. Is it a big factor? Of course it is. That's why we're spending time there.

Kip Carpenter

The first quarter seems to be the bottom of the industry, ... Unforunately, it's been a slower recovery in our view than what we saw a few months ago... that's because the rebound of the economy has been slower.

Jorma Ollila

I always expect a little better than that. But I'm proud of the girls for stepping it up. It's a tough course so I knew times would be a little slower.

Andy Brendel

The further it went out there, the slower it went.

Daren Brown

It was real soft and punchy. The dogs go slower and you get a few more injuries because they start falling in holes.

Paul Gebhardt

Home sales in June dipped more than expected following record activity at the beginning the year, which was spurred by exceptionally mild weather, ... Home sales should hold to a slower but more even course in the second half of the year.

Martin Edwards

Most experts agree that calculating wind chill gives a number too low. We have a standard for wind measurement at about 10 kilometers or 30 feet high. It's good for aviation use but it overestimates the wind speed. The wind down below is lighter (slower) than the wind at that height.

Doug Holdham

When children are little, their sleep pressure rises faster so they fall asleep early, but when it's slower, like it is for teenagers, it's harder to get to sleep.

Mary Carskadon

I gave them a realistic goal that we wanted to come down here and at least reset the state record. Considering the slower track and everything, coming down here and running faster is great. I'm happy with it.

Andy Capellan

We're confident about the longer-term prospects for the fund. Although it may not keep up with its more aggressive peers in a tech rally, we think its attention to long-term cash flow generation can help it in a slower-growth environment, when an earnings miss can send a richly priced stock reeling.

John Coumarianos

People are concerned that sometimes the courts move slower than the rest of society.

Cheryl Lynn Hepfer

It gives another reason for both of those countries to go slower rather than faster on opening the market.

Don Roose

Although it is true that slower growth in China would hurt other economies in the region, our view is that the impact would be modest.

Homi Kharas

My time is usually five-, six-, seven-one-hundredths of a second slower, and, believe it or not, that makes a difference on a field-goal kick.

Matt Stover

This is a very bond-friendly report. It was below expectations. It points to a slower manufacturing sector in the Chicago area.

Evan Rourke

Let's face it. It's obviously a time for caution. People are a bit quieter and taking things a bit slower.

Eric Gale

He's looking explosive and is playing with a little more confidence. He can be a deep threat. Being a deep threat, you don't have to have 4.4 speed. You can be a little slower and have great technique to be effective.

Eric Yarber

The business community needs to continue to take the lead to move those still on welfare into jobs. Although the welfare rolls have fallen around the country, we know that they are falling slower in the cities than in the suburbs.

Eli Segal

When you have single officers in vehicles, a lack of backup, slower response time, cuts in prevention programs and fewer school resource officers, things obviously could be affected.

Elaine Deck

Sure, earnings will be slower than they were in the fourth quarter, but margins can't expand forever. But on a risk/reward basis, stocks are still attractive.

Edward Keon

We think that slower than planned progress in developing the graphics chip, or a lack of software titles, is probably the main reason for the delayed launch.

Eiichi Katayama

Michael isn't getting any slower.

Eddie Irvine

We apologize for the army of trucks. We are willing to work with the village. We will go a little bit slower. More is not always better.

Ted Cunningham

This summer's hurricanes served as a trigger point to start slightly slower economic growth. Higher home heating costs, rising inflation and rising interest rate levels will cause some construction slowdowns.
