...Porting can be tricky. In the U.S., a company called NeuStar moves your number from one part of its phone-number database to another, and then broadcasts that list to over 400 landline and wireless carriers nationwide, so that, say, someone calling you from a Montana payphone will reach you on the first try. Most of the process is automatic, but the chance for human error is high. ?It?s not going be pretty in the first couple of days,? says one carrier?s spokesperson...
Hoping to benefit from the deep, dry snow on the north face of Montana's Lone Mountain, America's first new destination ski resort in 20 years plans to open there Thanksgiving weekend. Moonlight Basin, right around the mountain from the east-facing, 30-year-old Big Sky Resort, will charge only $39 for its all-day adult lift ticket (its rival asks $59). A six-person express lift will take skiers from the base to above Timberline. Moonlight's 3,050 ft. of vertical descent, including 1,200 ft. of inbound hike-up terrain, is on a par with...

What does a real synfuel operation look like, the kind that can change a country's energy fortunes? The answer can be found 700 miles north of Montana near a onetime frontier outpost in Alberta called Fort McMurray. At Syncrude Canada's North Mine, a huge open pit nearly two miles across and 250 ft. deep, giant shovels scoop out a petroleum-soaked deposit called oil sand that is beginning a long journey from here into the gas tanks of American cars. The region contains enough of the crude mixture to produce an estimated 175 billion bbl. of oil, eight...
