...agency's increasing reliance on self-regulation by companies has obvious shortcomings. At a John Morrell meat-packing plant in Sioux Falls, S. Dak., inspectors found 69 record-keeping infractions in a company log. On a list of injuries that supposedly resulted in no lost workdays: an amputation and a chemical burn. OSHA proposed a $690,000 fine on Morrell in April. After meat-packer IBP learned that its records would be inspected last January, OSHA alleges, the company assembled 50 employees to revise its logs. IBP, which is fighting the case, has been charged with 1,038 instances...

These, along with the hardwood, are charred in kilns, put through a hammermill and mixed with charred sawdust, coal, limestone, sodium nitrate, borax, wheat paste and steam, which turns the mixture into a slurry that is pressed into briquettes and then put through a drying process...
...years ago that Americans walked into retail stores and saw the first fully assembled personal computers sitting on the shelves, waiting to be taken home and plugged into the socket. It was the beginning of the computer era for millions of people, ranging from sixth-graders learning to log on, to secretaries spinning out reams of letters, to hopeful authors plugging away at their novels on the screen...
