Number of confirmed dead as we went to press from the collapse of a building housing numerous apparel factories in Bangladesh earlier this week. The disaster comes less than six months after a fire at an apparel factory there killed some 112, and less than four months since another apparel factory fire killed seven women In January. After seeing deep cracks in the walls of the building on Tuesday, police had ordered it evacuated. But officials at the garment factories operating inside ignored the order and kept more than 2,000 people working, authorities said. After the November fire, at a factory making products for Walmart and others, Walmart issued much tougher new rules about vendors sub-contracting apparel suppliers and requiring factory inspections.

Number of corporate customers (carriers and companies with private fleets) that the Pilot Flying J truck stop chain has - a number especially pertinent after recent government allegations that for a number of years, the company has been cheating some customers on their contractual rebate levels. An affidavit from an FBI agent that triggered raids on Pilot's headquarters and private homes of some employees alleged that Pilot juiced profits by shorting unsophisticated customers that couldn't detect they were being cheated. A class action suit seems certain - many may get a big check.
