...need the input of the structural engineer at the beginning," says Ysrael Seinuk, whose firm, Cantor-Seinuk, is the structural engineer for the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site.

Two former Grant Thornton auditors were ordered to stand trial in 2005. Parmalat's administrator filed a $10-billion suit in the U.S. against Bank of America, alleging it helped mask the state of the Italian dairy firm's finances...
Based on H.G. Bissinger’s best-selling non-fiction book of the same title, the story chronicles Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton) and his Permian Panthers’ 1988 season from the first day of pre-season to its rousing conclusion on the turf of the Astrodome some months later.
