Great job of merchandising the summer LEGO promotion, Nick Antoun made good use of limited store space and was able to sell nearly all of his LEGO toys (in spite of the fact that the location is all full serve).

have long-range impact on the nation’s energy systems, industry officials say.

The cost of the additional security measures – from hiring more guards at power plants to more intense monitoring of nearly 650,000 kilometers of pipeline – remains unclear.

While there have been no specific terrorist threats against U.S. energy facilities, the attacks prompted energy companies across the country to scramble to increase protection.

The heightened security is likely to remain for some time and could, according to some industry

officials, have permanent effects.

About 322,000 kilometers of pipelines carry oil and petroleum products across the country. An additional 290,000 kilometers of pipelines carry natural gas. While most of these lines are buried, pumping stations, terminals and other facilities could be vulnerable.

Pipeline companies are putting people into previously unmanned facilities, increasing security at terminals and key pumping stations, and adding to patrols along the thousands of kilometers of pipes, according to industry officials.
