Safety training

LISBON

NiSource Midstream Services on Thursday conducted a safety training course for emergency responders along the Ohio portion of the Pennant Midstream Hickory Bend gathering system and natural-gas liquids line. NiSource Midstream, a Columbia Pipeline Group company, is a joint owner in the Pennant Midstream Hickory Bend gathering system and processing plant and acts as the operator of the system and plant, which is in Springfield Township.

The training session was at the Lisbon Volunteer Fire Department and included key stakeholders from fire departments and emergency-management agencies along the pipeline route.

Microsoft now No. 2

SAN FRANCISCO

The bull run in Microsoft’s stock this past year has helped the tech giant surpass Exxon Mobil and seize the rank of the second-most-valuable company, behind Apple Inc.

Under new CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft has worked to overcome its reputation as a clumsy behemoth struggling to keep up with new tech trends and consumer habits. Nadella has cut expenses — and jobs — while pledging to refocus the company on mobile technology and cloud computing. His efforts have fueled a stock surge that drove Microsoft’s total market value above $410 billion Friday. That leapfrogged Exxon’s value of $404 billion, which has been dinged by the drop in oil prices.

Apple is currently the world’s most-valuable company, with a market capitalization of more than $668 billion. That’s more than the $616 billion that Microsoft was worth when it was No. 1 in December 1999.
