...single most important raw material for the chemical industry. So when oil prices rise sharply?as they have over the past few months?chemical companies usually feel the pinch hardest. But when the big German chemical firm Degussa announced its earnings last month, the news was far from gloomy. Heinz-Joachim Wagner, Degussa's chief financial officer, calculated that the firm's raw-material costs had risen by more than a third over the past 18 months. Still, sales and earnings were up in the first half of this year and Wagner says he expects the trend to continue...
...FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE FROM DICK CHENEY TO TERESA HEINZ KERRY AND MARRIED TO A GUY WHO GETS CALLED THE SECOND MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE US. DOESN'T THAT COMPROMISE YOUR COVERAGE? I don't think so.

Republican Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania is planning to introduce a bill in Congress that would compel hospitals to arrange suitable follow-up care for discharged patients and make local Medicare watchdog agencies responsible for supervising such arrangements. A report to be released later this month by Harvard's Center for Health Policy and Management proposes a more radical solution: revising the Medicare system so it pays for extended nursing-home stays, home care and other outpatient care.
