This structural efficiency is a fundamental reason why Next-Generation 737s fly farther, higher and with better fuel efficiency than the competition.

Mike Delaney

I remember going to 'the Ho,' and there's no place here like [Southside Steel].

Frank Slutsky

Jason Teh

It's virtually all steel and plastic and aluminum and glass. It could be dismantled and reassembled somewhere else.

Tom Holst

People relate to wood in ways that they don't to other materials. It feels real and natural, unlike plastic and steel. It feels like you really can make something out of it, rather than just put something together.

Doug Hicks

In reference to prices, what matters are the laws of the market. If the junction of these two groups results in more productivity and efficiency, certainly steel production in the long term is going to grow and, with this, demand for iron ore.

Roger Agnelli

He must have groin muscles of steel.

Billy Mcneill

(Street) has been tremendous. He looks so calm out there. He must have nerves of steel. I guess that's why we're confident he's going to get the job done every time.

Joe Blanton

We've always known it was going to happen. It's a steel mill. There's just inherent hazards to it. That's why a steel worker gets paid what a steel worker gets paid.

Bob Hauser

Everything seems to be in that ballpark and up. Material costs, steel, wood, not to mention the gas to transport everything, has gone way up.

Rob Rowlson

In the second quarter we expect to see continued strength in the steel marketplace. Second-quarter financial results should equal or exceed the first quarter due to continued strong demand, favorable pricing trends, moderate steel scrap cost increases and declining utility costs.

Keith Busse

Local fund investors bid up steel stocks, as they had a lot of idle money after unloading technology stocks.

This is the best fit for our organization and is the best outcome to secure the long-term success of Roanoke Electric Steel.

Donald Smith

These pressures have flowed through Asia and into our domestic markets. This is not a global steel demand issue - it is a regional over-production and steel supply issue.

Kirby Adams

This is no less true of steel and concrete [than of wood, brick and stone]. We must remember that everything depends on how we use a material, not on the material itself....New materials are not necessarily superior. Each material is only what we make it.

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe

In my opinion, AK Steel will be partnered with somebody in the industry in the not-too-distant future.

Mark Casey

Over the last 20 months that these tariffs have been in place, I have seen a true renewal in our steel industry -- companies consolidated, production grew and workers sacrificed for a better future.

Bob Ney

It sounds like a Danielle Steel novel -- it's full of prose, it's full of pretty language, it's full of heart-tugging memories.

Dan Cogdell

Our cost structure is solid, and demand for high-quality sheet steel is good. We're in the process of breaking out of the industry's usual boom and bust cycle.

Nobuyoshi Fujiwara

The risk is that China does not slow its steel production as much as we expect and if that is the case, the deficit will be higher.

Alan Heap

The Pedal steel because it's so mysterious.

Craig Miner

Clearing traffic and the public from Parliament Square and putting a steel cage around the Palace of Westminster would mark a defeat for democracy.

Courtney Pratt

All those buildings you see out there are made of steel and concrete and glass and all of it was brought over by cargo ships.

David Bryant

That includes everything from building codes, to structural design issues and the less durable fireproofing materials currently specified for commercial steel structures.

Craig Scott

Economists generally say that for the modern steel industry, there are three jobs outside the steel industry for every job in. Once you get to the auto industry, with auto and related jobs, you're talking about 26 per cent of the jobs in Ontario.

Peter Warrian

But, it was simple, painless and when it was over with I couldn't tell what was done. It was just that mask, that steel harness they put over your head.

David Williams

Banning cargo sweeping would be catastrophic to the shipping industry. It would shut down power production, steel production and all kinds of construction activities in the region.

James Weakley

We were talking about (Steel), and it just came together at the hospital. She ended up going into labor right before the Cincinnati-Pittsburgh game so we thought the whole thing was fortuitous, so that clinched the deal.

Richard Reed

Steel drumming has been around for quite a while in many countries, but most people in Taiwan are not familiar with it.

Leroy Radanovich

Weirton Steel, if they had just left them alone, would still employ 19,000 people today and would be highly competitive.

John Raese

We will continue to consolidate, but only to consolidate if it makes sense. China for us makes a lot of sense, because one-third of the steel production in the world is done in China. So, if you have global ambitions, you have to be there.

Michel Wurth

It always concerns me when a homegrown company like Roanoke Electric Steel gets tied up with management control outside the city and state.

Bill Hopkins

We built it with three straight months of work and 20,000 pounds of steel from a South Jersey rail yard.

Pavle Jovanovic

Steel and metal companies are on a long-term rising trend. Demand will continue to increase.

Tomokatsu Mori

It used to be steel, but now autos are our big one. And that's causing us a lot of problems in our economy. That presence is magnified by all of the companies that support them.

John Slenker

If you had teeth of steel, you could eat iron coconuts.

Singhalese Proverb

You can take organic materials ? leather, steel, wood and fabrics ? and mix them in the right way.

Amanda Pays

Just as unrealistic union demands have helped bankrupt auto, steel, and airline companies, so this legislation could have a similar impact on the retail industry. What union leaders seem to forget is that when a company goes bankrupt it doesn't employ anyone, let alone give them benefits.

Richard Berman

It's a really good company, but it has been going through a difficult period, particularly in cost pressures with steel and raw material prices.

Stephen Walker

We bid this project right before everybody started having trouble with the steel. We're very fortunate, otherwise it would have cost 30 percent more than it would right now.

Bryan Turner

The steel industry has been very fragmented (in Europe)...and the automobile and packing industries have been exploiting that.

Yasuhiro Yamaguchi

The guys blocked well for me and I wouldn't have gotten many of those yards without my O-line and the receivers-it was a team effort, ... And Ben Brown is one real tough boy-he's steel. That's what I call him, my steel man.

Roger Butler

The beauty of our project is that we are taking something historical, something that has an emotional attachment to the community, and giving it rebirth. The sense of neighborhood and community at the Bethlehem Steel site is a good thing. We intend to be good neighbors, and we intend to create economic rejuvenation.

Andy Abboud

You can take organic materials — leather, steel, wood and fabrics — and mix them in the right way. It's fun to go from something simple to something classic to something seasonal. It shows people the different aspects of who you are.

Amanda Pays

ALONE, adj. In bad company. In contact, lo! the flint and steel, By spark and flame, the thought reveal That he the metal, she the stone, Had cherished secretly alone. Booley Fito.

Jim Thomas

Under fire is what makes steel stronger.

Brian Hanna

Everybody cares about their own, but Pittsburghers love and embrace them in a way I've never seen before, ... Dave's strong faith and integrity resonates extremely well in this community. He's forged in steel.

Jeff Long

The Pennsylvania was the first American railroad to lay steel rails and the first to lay Bessemer rails; it was the first to put the steel fire-box under the locomotive boiler; it was the first to use the air brake and the block signal system; it was the first to use in its shops the overhead crane.

John Moody

It looks like demand for high-quality steel remains strong and supply remains limited.

Yoji Takeda

If you apply the precedents of the steel seizure case, President Bush is at the 'low ebb' of power here.

Ken Gormley

There's nothing definite that has materialized from the talks. Are they talking? Yes. But other companies have talked to Wheeling-Pitt, too, and nothing's come of it. But it's getting harder and harder for a small steel company to make it, and we are a small company.

Bernie Ravasio

We are not in the business of iron ore. Whatever captive iron ore sources we have, we use it to make steel.

Lakshmi Mittal

Steel stocks are cheaply valued, they're cyclical, they're very well known for their capital destruction during downturns. Now instead of increasing capacity, they're buying capacity or buying competitors.

Jan Leroy

We have resources that can help India develop its steel industry and in the current scenario resource security is the most important aspect.

Brian Mcdonald

Unlike other contracts, steel products vary greatly in category, quality and origin. No other country except India operates such contracts, and we don't know whether it works well.

Qi Xiangdong

We are seeing a better year ahead in terms of prices ... the forecast for stainless steel in 2006 is better and could boost demand for ferrochrome starting in the second quarter.

Deon Dreyer

We're talking about some big global players here, so that's what driving the speculation behind the rest of the sector. Steel stocks have been gaining a small amount of momentum back after a poor run the past few months, and this is the kind of thing that could prompt some managers to have another look.

Don Hamson

The size might seem overwhelming at first, but that site cries out for mass because that's what it was when Bethlehem Steel was there ? massive. It's exactly the scale that site needs.

Tony Hanna

The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.

John N. Mitchell

All indicators suggest (India's per capita steel consumption) will go up fast.

Rajiv Vohra

Investors are also buying shares in firms with attractive dividend yields ... such as steel makers and gas and electric power companies.

Hiroaki Kuramochi

I think the overall market peaked on Sept. 29 when major steel makers hit year-to-date highs.

Shigeharu Shiraishi

Scrap has always been a good indicator, because it feeds directly into consumer spending and capital spending. If scrap steel is rising sharply, it's a good indication that things overall are picking up. It's an old, trusted standby and it should not be ignored.

Don Fine

Steel companies need cash to operate. Steel prices fluctuate and steel companies need cash to manage the ups and downs of the historically cyclical market. Raiding cash during good times is short sighted and counter to the long-term interest of the company.

Wayne Fraser

People have responded positively to stainless steel. You want something that blends in and matches your decor.

Gretchen Holt

I went into the first surgery where they cut me from ear to ear and they cut my face down and they took out all the fractured egg-shelled bones and put in steel plates.

Shayna Richardson

We have heard our members. We hope that AK Steel begins listening.

Brian Daley

In all my years on the prowl, I never got over the thrill of hearing the first boom and seeing what it did to a massive block of steel.

Herbert Emerson Wilson

It's too early to say that China's steel industry is going to suffer overall economic losses.

Qi Xiangdong

The steel tariff cost more jobs than it saved and I'm sure this Chinese bra ban will also contribute to net job losses.

Paul Kasriel

For years, that's been the big impediment to buying AK Steel.

Chris Olin

Right now it's a good time because steel prices are high.

Doug Perry

We have experienced highly challenging global market conditions in the past quarter with significant steel price decline in all regions.

Lakshmi Mittal

The building is actually steel and concrete, which is more like the new construction we're doing. So it all of a sudden afforded us really good bones.

Adam Cohen

We take all types of non-ferrous metals, copper, aluminum, brass, steel and car bodies. Over half of our customers bring in aluminum cans. It's a way for some people to help make ends meet.

Rick Elkins

The explosion did displace manhole covers — two round steel ones — and it also displaced a concrete cover as well.

Paul Moreno

The Nokia 8800 has clearly found an audience with individuals who appreciate quality materials and world-class design. The Nokia 8800 is as much an object of art and desire, as it is an advanced piece of technology. As the first mobile phone to be crafted of modern materials like stainless steel and mineral glass, the Nokia 8800 brings a new elegance to the art of personal communication.

Alastair Curtis

Global steel prices are simply unsustainable.

Atul Lele

When I moved into making sculpture, I could handle steel the way it had been handled in the technological revolution. I could use it the way bridge builders used it; I could use it the way they used it in industry and building and not the way it had been used in art.

Richard Serra

They have nerves of steel. Although there's nudity in the play, it's very non-sexual. But these actors are so willing to descend to those deep, dark places the play requires.

Jonathan Taylor

This combination further diversifies Steel Dynamics' product offering, provides additional penetration of the joist, truss and girder markets and provides Steel Dynamics with its first foray into the processed raw materials arena.

Keith Busse

We had originally aimed to complete the latest inventory adjustments for common-grade steel by the end of March, but we now think we need to extend de-stocking efforts in the first quarter (to June).

Nobuyoshi Fujiwara

People ask us why we didn't just evacuate the park, but there were 70,000 people in there that night, surrounded by a steel fence, with tens of thousands of more people right outside. So there was no way to evacuate it quickly. Plus, we didn't know there was a bomb threat.

Charles Stone

To secede from the Union and set up another government would cause war. If you go to war with the United States, you will never conquer her, as she has the money and the men. If she does not whip you by guns, powder, and steel, she will starve you to.

Sam Houston

We have tried to steel ourselves.

Mark Simon

U.S. Steel has operations in Serbia. We sent our safety and health technicians and experts over there for a couple of weeks. There shouldn't be differences in safety at steel mills regardless of what country they are in. U.S. Steel hasn't resisted that.

Thomas Conway

This deal ... will mean a strong steel company in Hamilton and will mean a viable pension plan.

Greg Sorbara

Steel is forged by fire and then beaten. That's what it's been like the past year. It has been embarrassing and humiliating, but it's behind me.

Larry Chapman

You don't know if this will be the shareholders' choice, or a political choice. For the steel industry, this is Microsoft buying Apple.

Michelle Applebaum

If prices rise as a result of the iron ore negotiations, that may stop steel producer prices from dropping further due to higher costs.

Li Mingliang

To service this contract, we needed $2.5 million to meet payroll expenses, buy the steel, hose reels and the tanks. We were hung up by time.

Gil Reed

I made up my mind I was going to live, thank the good Lord. I broke my arm when a load of steel fell on it. A prisoner set it and I kept working. If you didn't work you didn't eat.

Leland Chandler

He's got the dynamism you'd expect of a 19-year-old kid. He shuttles back and forth. He doesn't know what fear is, either. We thought he might be nervous and overawed about playing for his country, but he's shown real character and steel.

Ricardo Lavolpe

We still see good demand for galvanized steel in Asia, particularly in China. China was the world's biggest exporter of zinc till recently. Now there are reports of scarce zinc concentrates.

Peter Richardson

The metals sector is red-hot. The economy is growing, companies are working at full capacity and there is demand. For many, buying steel companies is also a way to invest in durable goods.

Andre Caminada

You always have the problem of dual-use in every new technology. Steel can be used to make sewing needles or spears.

Laurie Zoloth

I think (impact fees) have been overshadowed by the increase in concrete and steel. It seems to have settled down.

Dennis Davis

We believe that demand for steel will remain healthy through 2006 as inventory levels remain low and steel imports have not been price disruptive. Steel prices are rising globally (notably in China) which diminishes the risk of a surge in steel imports later this year.

Michael Gambardella

Danielle Steel is one of the world's great literary brands, and New Line Home Entertainment is proud to be in business with such a cultural icon.

Kevin Kasha

It broke some large steel chains and released 100 tons of harvest fish into the bay to the benefit of the local anglers.

Craig Foster

We suffered a dip in the amount of steel come through here right after the hurricane late September and the first few weeks of October. But since then the steel has been coming through at the lame quantities as it had been. There's been very little disruption.

Paul Latture

There's a real organic quality to it. It comes right down to the fundamentals of wood and steel. A lot of acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles and steel strings. You're not going to see a lot of drums. You're not going to see huge PA systems.

Jeff Black

They've then used them to ram the gates at other facilities so they can go in to break in to the vehicles there and steel various items.

Kevin Laverty

They're getting hit on both sides. The steel overhang in Asia, particularly in China, means second-half prices they're receiving may not pick up.

Tony Farnham

We are proud to be partnering with Danielle Steel. She is recognized globally as a tremendously talented and brilliant author, ... Ms. Steel's image will be instrumental in creating the vision for the brand. She will be personally involved with Elizabeth Arden in all aspects of product development, bringing her elegance, ideas of romance, and passionate personality to her signature line.

Paul West

I can't recall, in the 40 years I've been following the steel industry, ever seeing a bid that was raised after already winning.

Charles Bradford

You're going to have a tough time picking up effects in month-to-month or even year-to-year movement of steel prices.

Robert Crandall

Someday when historians record the decline of the American steel industry, President Bush will have the infamous distinction of contributing to the decimation of our industry and the loss of American jobs.

Mark Glyptis

We're disappointed with the fact that port land is being sold. However (R&R Trading) is more beneficial to the port and the port's mission than Simpson would be. Importing steel is a better fit than a mill.

John Philbrook

Last year was kind of a down year for us. We weren't out there for 200 dates last year, like usual. Don [Herron, the band's fiddle, pedal-steel and mandolin master] was off playing with Bob Dylan, Shaw was spending most of his time in Arizona, and I was in Nashville writing songs and doing my own thing.

Chuck Mead

Steel costs are expected to increase another 20 percent this month alone.

Frank James

You may design something in steel, but to make it, you need to know how to manipulate the material. On a sheer technical end, you have to know how to weld stainless steel.

Brian Slocum

But steel prices went crazy, and so did our costs.

John Cutt

This vote demonstrates that the AEIF stands united in its determination to secure an equitable labor agreement with AK Steel. The executive committee will continue negotiating with AK Steel to achieve that result.

Brian Daley

Our low steel is at 58 eight feet high.

John Robertson

We're adventurous. We process different kinds of materials, not just steel aluminum.

Dick Nichols

The overcapacity problem has provided a very good opportunity to promote restructuring in the steel industry.

Luo Bingsheng

You've got your pads and your disks - the pads wear down. The semi-abrasive compound only lasts a certain amount of time until you're down to the steel plate.

Christopher Burdick

Typically you'll get an all new kitchen with cherry cabinets and granite counter-tops. Stainless steel appliances are a big seller right now.

Michael Craig

This is a global steel world whether we like it or not, ... We believe labor needs a global solution.

Thomas Conway

I have a steel stomach.

John Montgomery

It should be considered that increases in the mill price of steel have only a small impact on the overall cost of the project.

John Cross

Everyone understands that the Old Steel Bridge is going to be closed at some point. Once it is, there needs to be a safe way for traffic to get onto the highway.

Joe Brenneman

People will steel out of habit. And what they're doing is grinding their knives away.

Budd Solaegui

It really bothers me when this government decides to buy Chinese steel because that steel is made in China with child labor.

Mark Glyptis

Food manufacturing in particular requires extremely stringent sterility standards and stainless steel is the optimum material to meet these requirements.

Joe Campbell

Typically in a developing economy, the demand for steel goes up exponentially.

John Surma

I like the studio because it's delicate; you're working for sound. I like the garage because chopping up lumps of steel is the exact opposite of delicate. The garage is a more dangerous place though. I've never almost been crushed by a guitar, but I can't say the same about one of my Corvettes.

Jeff Beck

I don't want to name him just yet in case it falls through. But if he signs he'll add some steel to our midfield.

Dave Wilkinson

China's iron and steel industry has entered an important stage of strategic restructuring, which can help solve a series of problems in the industry.

Xie Qihua

Last year was a record high for China's steel industry, but the excessive capacity also caused big price fluctuations in the market.

Luo Bingsheng

The news on U.S. Steel has prompted some buying of steelmakers. You cannot completely rule out the possibility of takeovers of Japanese companies.

Koji Uchida

The church was one big piece of wooden furniture. There will be plenty of steel in the next structure, that's for sure.

Robert Vaughn

What's good about the Lehigh Valley is that we are not dependent on a single industry. We now have a variety of companies here, and we're not relying on the former Bethlehem Steel.

Kamran Afshar

We're doing all steel re-enforced concrete, which is going to stop 80 to 90 percent of the debris that's flying through the air.

Scott Kisling

The concrete pole was fine for staying up. It's got steel rebar in it.

Bill Jenkins
