But it is also steaming ahead with research efforts into smarter, stronger and less polluting products, including ultra-high-performance concrete. Research director Casanova traces the path of innovation back to the 1980s, when the first big gains were made in improving the resistance of concrete. In the two decades since, researchers have figured out how to increase that resistance...

...plummeting approval numbers, thanks in no small part to his close ties to President Bush. But that could all actually be a motivator for Jeb, whose sharp sense of dynastic honor is probably rumbling - especially since the conventional wisdom had always been that it was he, the smarter sibling, who should have been President in the first place...
