Beef Quotations | Page 2

Microsoft has no beef with open source, ... We happen to like and will continue to pursue commercial software as a business model Microsoft believes in. Ultimately, the market will tell us if that choice is a good one.

Who knows what the real situation is in cattle in the United States? And with people, we could be sitting on a time bomb, because the incubation period of this disease in humans can be up to 40 years. That's why a blood test is so important. We need to know the extent of the problem, we need to make sure that beef and the human blood supply are safe, and we need early diagnosis so that when scientists develop a therapy we can intervene before clinical symptoms appear--by then, it's too late.

When the beef market returns to more historical levels, we can add a full second shift across the board.

We really beef up the manpower on the roads. We have traffic units out, we bring in guys, pay them some overtime and really saturate Lee County with deputies looking for impaired drivers.

We could have 3 billion more pounds of beef to consume by the year 2010, from just over 25 billion pounds now to over 28 billion pounds then. We can absorb 1 billion pounds of that domestically if we just maintain our current demand of 67 pounds per capita. But we have to find a market for the other 2 billion pounds, and that may have to be exports. It's critical we get Japan, South Korea, Russia, and other markets opened. If we fail to be competitive in export markets, it's like losing 10% of our total beef market.

We can sustain the expansion. Come January and February, people are going to get hammered with huge heating bills. But once they get past that, they'll be O.K. I have no beef with a forecast of 3.5 percent GDP growth next year.

We have the talent with Ty Warren , Jarvis Green, Big Wilfork and it's just a matter of going out and doing the job every day. It puts more beef on the field and we can move in and out with our versatility.

We are dealing with a disease that has devastated the cattle industries in other countries and that has already cost the U.S. cattle industry billions of dollars in lost beef exports.

We are not, in any way, suggesting that U.S. beef is not safe. We believe that we have the safest beef supply in the world but that's no the issue. The issue is, our customers and our consumers worldwide -- domestically and internationally -- are requesting that we test all of our cattle for BSE.

We're eating Ramen Noodles chicken and beef that's what we eat everyday.

The rate at which our Asian trading partners open their borders to U.S. beef will be an important factor affecting growth for the state in 2006.

The export ban has forced our beef industry to suffocate in isolation but now there is a chance it can be revived by the financial oxygen generated through access to a wider range of freer-spending customers.

What is the problem? As far as we are concerned the ban could have been lifted ages ago. It is to be regretted that the beef ban, in place for all sorts of reasons, could not have been lifted earlier.

Let me be clear - Microsoft has no beef with open source.

I sandpapered the roof of my mouth with 3 bowls of Cap'n Crunch - had raw gobbets of mouth-beef dangling onto my tongue all day

We are shipping between 55,000 and 60,000 pounds of high-quality beef weekly to Japan.

The participants found it easiest to incorporate single items such as the almonds and margarine into their daily lives. The fiber and vegetable protein were more challenging since they require more planning and preparation and because these types of niche products are less available. It's just easier, for example, to buy a beef burger instead of one made from soy, although the range of options is improving. We considered it ideal if the participants were able to follow the diet three-quarters of the time.

I've been trying to beef up a little bit, mostly my legs, trying to get those stronger. It seems like it's helping out a lot, making it a lot easier to stay balanced and stay real strong on my back side. Going through the first full season, you know how much it breaks you down a little bit, so I think it's good to get stronger and have a little more weight on there.

I've never had (a) beef with World. Personally, we were teammates. We understood that. I understood that.
