The Roxboro power plant employs six supply-chain analysts, says Harry Sideris, the plant manager, but he doesn't need...

With her undefeated season on the line in the singles championship, Tachibana closed out the weekend’s play with a decisive win over Nunic. Tachibana had some trouble in the first set but shut out her opponent in the second...
...that day, I often encounter a second type: those who note the pace of those around them and seek to go just a little faster. We all know the slightly older man attempting to look buff as he huffs and puffs amongst the row of women will take her place, or the woman in an over-sized T-shirt reaching the peak of her mountain trying to shed a few pounds.
