occasionally sneaked into and around a Texas fertilizer plant in the years
before a massive, deadly explosion sometimes looking for a chemical
fertilizer stored at the plant that can be used to make methamphetamine,
according to local sheriff's records.Sheriff's deputies were called more
than 10 times to West Fertilizer in the 11 years before an
April 17 blast that killed 14 people, injured 200 and leveled part
of the tiny town of West, according to McLennan County sheriff's office
files released through an open-records request. Multiple calls involved
suspicion that anhydrous ammonia was being stolen.The records portray a
plant with no outer fence that was a sporadic target of intruders.
Law enforcement was occasionally called because someone had noticed the

prices soared on the heels of the report, with the Dow surging

economy has created an average of 208,000 jobs a month from November
through April. That's above the 138,000 added in the previous six months.The
only sectors of the economy that cut jobs last month were construction

said Thursday that the number of Americans applying for unemployment aid
fell last week to a seasonally adjusted 324,000 -- the fewest since
January 2008.At the same time, surveys have shown that hiring by private

annual pace of 2.5 percent, m
