| Monroe motel manager dies after fight with customer
A 46-year-old Monroe motel manager was beaten to death Tuesday morning after ordering a customer off the property. Witnesses told Monroe police officers that they heard the suspect and motel manager Kenneth Wolfe yelling at each other and squaring off in the parking lot of the Brookside Motel, in the 19900 block of Highway 2, around 1 a.m., according to the police report. Wolfe received an "uppercut" punch to his jaw, fell backward and hit the pavement, the report said. Police found the injured man on the ground motionless and bleeding from his head, the report said. Wolfe was pronounced dead at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center at 6:24 a.m. The suspect, whose last address was on Camano Island, fled the motel but turned himself in to authorities later in the day, the report said.
BP Q4 earnings jump, company to speed up cost-cutting
The company also brokered a $50-million US fine with the U.S. Justice Department for the 2005 Texas City refinery explosion in which 15 people died. That plea agreement — part of a $373-million US penalty for environmental crimes and fraud — could be overturned. On top of the fines and restitution, four former BP employees were indicted by a federal grand jury in Chicago on 20 counts of mail and wire fraud connected to a scheme to manipulate energy markets. .

Irving brothers look to break up empire
Sadly enough, I'd say most non-Atlantic Canadians wouldn't either.
That said, if there's a way of splitting the empire while keeping most of the jobs local I'd say that's a good thing. Posted 21/11/07 at 4:01 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
