...united front won't always be enough to eclipse StatoilHydro's biggest rivals. After the megamergers of the late 1990s--such as Exxon with Mobil and BP with Amoco--the Norwegian firm ranks as only the 10th largest in the world in production. StatoilHydro might churn out 1.9 million bbl. per day, but that's less than half the daily output...
...course, for all the square feet greened and heat reduced, there is one less quantifiable metric that argues even more persuasively for the value of the green roof: the psychological boost that city dwellers can gain simply by having a quiet place to go, far above the churn of the streets.

There, 13,300 North Korean workers earning $70 a month churn out exports in conditions a former Western diplomat compares to a labor camp's. So far, 15 South Korean companies have opened factories in Kaesong, producing shoes, watches, mufflers and other low-end consumer goods; 150 others have signed...
