This is probably the first time you'll read an article about a pavement maintenance contractor who projects to reach $1 billion in sales in 10 years. That's right, billion. Rabine Group, an umbrella organization for nine companies - six directly related to paving and pavement maintenance - has set $1 billion as its 2021 target, and based on recent growth and plans already underway, CEO Gary Rabine says it's a very reachable goal.

United Parcel Service is rolling out a prototype delivery van that gets 40 percent better mileage than its familiar big, brown boxy predecessor.
The twist here is less high tech than you might guess: It's not a new recipe for electric batteries or some new exotic fuel. Rather, to deliver big fuel savings, UPS put one of its standard package vans on a strict weight loss program.

Global oil prices moving to hit ''acceptable'' $120 : Iraqi government news
23 March 2011
Iraqi oil minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi said yesterday that Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) believed that oil price was approaching $120 per barrel but was not likely to go higher, a level that was "acceptable" and which would not hinder global growth.
"Global oil prices are moving towards $120 a barrel. We consider this an acceptable price that will not harm global growth," Luaibi told a news conference in Baghdad. "We think the price will not exceed USD 120 per barrel."
Oil prices were down yesterday as Brent crude fell below $115 a barrel as investors betting on rising prices with western intervention in Libya took profits anticipating a slowdown in air strikes.

Oil prices surge 6% on Libya unrest
By Aaron Smith, staff writer February 22, 2011: 3:15 PM ET
CNN Money
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Oil prices jumped 6% Tuesday, spiking as high as $98 a barrel earlier in the session, as the crisis in Libya sparked concern that the turmoil roiling the Middle East could spread to other producing countries -- including Saudi Arabia.
U.S. crude for April delivery rose $5.71, or 6.4%, to settle at $95.42 a barrel in midday activity. The U.S. market was closed Monday for a holiday, although there was a 6% gain in international trading.
Unrest in Libya has entered its eighth day, fueled by protestors against high unemployment and dictator Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year reign. At least 233 people have been killed since protests began, according to Human Rights Watch.
Gadhafi appeared on state-run television in front of his Tripoli home, the damage still evident from a U.S. bombing in the 1980s, in response to Western news reports that he had fled the...
