China-U.S. relations, though having encountered difficulties recently, now have momentum for improvement.

I'm a little worried that the political momentum that we witnessed this week may dissipate somewhat.

I lost my poise a little, but it was frustrating. I thought it came after the buzzer. It feels like we always have a bullseye on our back. That was a big momentum builder for them. In a big game like this I wish they would let the kids decide the game.

I had to try to slow down the momentum and go at them.

I felt like we were right back in it. We had the momentum.

I felt like we had the momentum going.

I felt like we had it then. The momentum was definitely in our favor. They were timid at the point.

I felt like we had a slow start on our first two events tonight. The scores were tight and vault was still our weak event. I was happy with how we performed on floor and beam. We scored a season high on beam and it was nice to finish the meet strong. If we would have had more momentum earlier I feel we would have had a better chance to beat Minnesota.

I felt it was a matter of trying to regroup, put my head down, work hard and not to give too many points away in the second set. I wanted to put more pressure on him early in the second set, and I was able to do that. The momentum really swung in my favor and I was able to continue to do that in the third set as well.

I felt like I was still throwing pretty good pitches. They grabbed momentum and ran with it.

I felt good about coming in tonight. After the first half, I said 'Boy, we're staying with them.' In the second half they turned up the heat. They shot the ball well tonight. We didn't get out and get hands on some looks. When the momentum swung, it swung. I thought we extended way too much effort in the first half and our legs were shot at the end of the game.

I feel we are riding the momentum wave at the moment. We feel united as a team.

I feel very confident with how I'm playing. I'm trying to take that momentum and carry it over here to Firestone, and the reason I like playing here so much right after last week is it's a very similar setup.

I feel the momentum is going the right way. Virginians have been happy with what Mark and I have done. They don't want to do a U-turn and that's really helping me.

I feel good for Dennis to make some plays. He's wanted to be a playmaker and he knew he could do it and we knew he could do it. The pass play for the touchdown was a big momentum play for us.

I feel really good about the momentum and the direction of the campaign.

I feel like I've gotten so lucky and gotten to do such cool things with such cool folks. It's really great. You definitely want that momentum to keep going, for sure.

Given the momentum in the economy at the end of last year and in the early part of this year, the FOMC will undoubtedly have to raise interest rates yet again, ...

Friday night in Sauk Centre was a rough night. We started off playing tough but did not convert on key free throws once we were in the bonus. This led to some momentum for Sauk, and they capitalized.

If anything, that idea has gained momentum in this reporting season because a few investors were looking for earnings to slightly disappoint, especially in the U.S., and that clearly hasn't happened.

I don't think we started off as strong as we could have, but we built momentum throughout the game. We didn't score as much on our counterattack, but our half-court offense really came through for us.

I don't think we're worried. I think we would prefer to have more momentum going into the playoffs, but the last two results are certainly going to be something in our minds for practice this upcoming week. We have to work harder and get sharper in order to get some results against Chicago.

I don't underestimate the uphill battle that we face, but my hope is that a strong vote in the Senate will give us momentum in the House. The fact is that this money is from next year rather than new spending will also help.

For us to win a conference game on the road at Sauk Prairie, it's a huge momentum lift for the second half of the season. We have lost eight games and seven of those losses have been by six points or less.

GM's success earlier this summer has really taken its toll on inventory levels for several models, limiting their ability to have another terrific month. And there appears to be relatively little momentum left in GM's employee discount incentive program now that it is in its third month.

GM's got enormous momentum of the wrong kind. It has, in decades past, been hugely successful. The culture has said, 'Whatever we've done in the past will repeat itself', but that's not working in the current environment.

GM's February sales improved nicely compared to last month and the prior year, giving us momentum as we move into the spring selling season,

Give them credit. I thought they played well. They made shots with a hand in their face. There was a part in the game when the momentum was changing a little bit and we lost our composure.

Global Crossing's innovation in converged IP services, expansion into the global enterprise market and improving financials are all proof that the company is building momentum and creating a solid foundation for future success.

If we win, it's going to give us so much momentum going into the finals and the states. That game is going to be the biggest game of our season so far.

He tried to push me out of bounds, and I just tried to keep my balance. I guess he was relying on my momentum taking me toward the sideline and him just being able to push me out of bounds. He didn't anticipate me trying to stay in bounds.

He was wrestling really tough on the day and you can't coach balance and quickness and Javier has both. And once they get the momentum going it's hard to stop that youth.

He talked to us about that game and how that really springboarded their season. This could be the same type of game against a team like Cal that is ranked in the Top 20. This could really do that, give a lot of momentum and confidence to a team that is really searching for something, a spark to really ignite us and get us going.

He (Schinella) gives us that extra dimension with his quickness, ... That (return) really turned things around for us because Calumet had some momentum going at that point in the game. It gave us a spark.

He gets to the net and uses his speed. When you have speed on the penalty kill, it's a pretty good thing. It's useful for us. On your fourth line, you want energy and guys to be momentum shifters. When you have speed like Brownie has, it enables you to change the tempo.

He made an amazing save. He changed the game on that save. If that goes in then we get some momentum and you never know what could have happened after that.

And because there is no confidence in the possibility of progress, it is difficult to generate momentum toward progress.

We're only two games into the season, so you can't take too much. But we're a good team. Hopefully, this (the win over Boise) will give us momentum and we can run with it. We haven't started Pac-10 play yet, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.

When he went down, their guys were excited and our crowd answered back in a great way with kind of an MVP chant. It was good for our offense and we felt we actually had the momentum after that.

What is clear is that Japan does not really want a strong yen. If the currency gets too strong it might stall the growth momentum we've seen coming out of Japan.

We've got to start getting some positive momentum. A win is very important for us and the positive momentum will snowball. And the longer we stay in games, the more pressure it puts on other teams knowing that the underdog is still competing.

I think we can fare very formidably against that competition.

Having the Indianapolis 500 and the Watkins Glen Indy Grand Prix run on consecutive weekends will make for an amazing two weeks of racing. The history and heritage of open-wheel racing at both facilities is well known, and these events running back to back should really help create momentum for the rest of the season.

Having Tyler starting in the field really gave us momentum early on. Isaac Coates did a nice job in goal all game. Our defense was strong enough to handle Bridgeport's offense.

Having this momentum coming in is good for my confidence, it's helped a lot,

Going into these tournaments, momentum is way overrated. Look how we went into last year, with that loss to Seton Hall and then an unbelievable bus trip to New York.

Gold's momentum is likely to take it to either side of $600, but then a serious correction is likely to unfold.

He's a sparkplug for the whole defense. Even if the team's down and out, if somebody comes and just knocks somebody out, it can change the momentum instantly. That's the type of player he is. He brings it every play, and he can really change the momentum.
