In February a North Carolina woman was charged with murdering her 4-year-old adopted son; investigators say she routinely beat her kids with a plastic pipe.

Consider the chemical industry, which needs petroleum as a feedstock, or raw material, for such products as polyvinyl chloride (for plastic pipe) and polyethylene terephthalate (for soda bottles).

Last year they ate up 47% of total costs, yet the company still managed an earnings increase. But Dow reported this week that first-quarter net income fell...

Parts of the tunnel will collapse, and tons of irradiated rock will hurtle through the pipe, but the explosion should remain contained, thanks to seven giant doors. The last barrier, a mile distant, is a gas-sealed door made to withstand temperatures of 500 degrees F and pressures...

Blickstead ’05, former vice-president of the Undergraduate Council (UC). The creation of a social...
...meet these challenges. But an alarming Department of Transportation document obtained by the Anchorage Daily News raises questions about BP's diligence in inspecting its pipelines, pointing to no fewer than six other anomalies found on the same 10-mile stretch of pipeline, including a spot where the pipe had corroded so badly it was less than 0.04 in. thick...
