  As night follows day, economic expansions end in recessions. Consumer debt is a part of each chapter.

Thomas Oppel is the executive vice president for the American Sustainable Business Association.

At the same time, however, inventory levels fell to their lowest point in the year, causing prices to rise by their highest percentage increase in the year.

Communication remains fragmented, with many healthcare organizations remaining reliant on landline phones, fax machines, and pagers.

Earlier this month, a Pittsburgh man opened fire on police officers when they responded to a report of a domestic disturbance. Officers had no choice but to return fire.
