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. .
Two men rob modeling audition at Hilton Chicago Hotel
Two robbers stuck-up a modeling audition Sunday night at the Hilton Chicago Hotel and got away with about $20,000, police said. At 10:45 p.m, two men, one wielding a gun, bound nine models and employees of the Harvey Star Washington agency with duct tape and stole the audition proceeds, police said. Police did not release a detailed description of the robbers. The robbery occurred in the Marquette Room on the third floor about five hours after the plus-size modeling tryouts had ended at 6 p.m. No one was injured, police said. The victims escaped from the duct tape less than 10 minutes after the men fled and called 911. Police said investigators were reviewing hotel surveillance footage Monday. The robbers, fled on foot from the hotel at 720 S.

Some Beach, Somewhere
Petersburg Times/Miami Herald/Bay News 9, has a margin of error for Republicans of 5.1 percent. Both John McCain at 25 percent and Mitt Romney at 23 are within the margin of error. Giuliani's not. He's tied with Mike Huckabee at 15 — and Huckabee, running out of money, has essentially conceded Florida, showing up primarily for airport news conferences. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 42-23, with John Edwards at the drop-out level, 12 percent. Edwards registers a distant third in South Carolina, too. Obama's up there by about 15 percentage points. That race should be over early Saturday and with a third-place finish, it's hard to see Edwards going on. No great loss, though. Of the three, he's the Democrat I'd least like to see in the White House.
