OGDEN — It appears the March 18 diesel fuel spill near Willard Bay will not result in the loss of life to six rescued beavers.

But the cost to Chevron in its sale of the pipeline that leaked appears to be $45 million.

Tesoro Logistics LP said Monday it will acquire Chevron Pipe Line Co.’s northwest products system for less than previously expected, citing the March diesel fuel spill involving the system. Tesoro said it now plans to pay $355 million, down from its originally planned $400 million.

The Internal Revenue Service will be closed on the following days: May 24, June 14, July 4, July 22, and Aug. 30. This will include the shutdown of all toll-free hotlines, the taxpayer advocate service and nearly 400 of the agency’s taxpayer assistance centers nationwide. These closures mean that if you are working to resolve problems with the IRS, keep these dates in mind when submitting paperwork. No tax returns will be processed and compliance-related activities will not take place. The IRS will not be able to acknowledge receipt of any e-filed returns on any of these furlough dates.

Facebook, the brainchild of a young CEO who sauntered into Wall Street meetings in a hoodie, was going to be bigger than Amazon, bigger than McDonald’s, bigger than Coca-Cola. And it was all made possible by our friendships, photos and family ties.

Then came the IPO, and it flopped. Facebook’s stock finished its first day of trading just 23 cents higher than its $38 IPO price. It hasn’t been that high since.

BOUNTIFUL — Complaints by neighboring residents convinced the city council to deny a rezone that would have allowed more multi-family housing to be constructed on Orchard Drive.

I sat down and started writing this column at 3:30 a.m. Sleep had escaped me. Maybe it was because I had procrastinated writing and was feeling the pressure of a deadline. Maybe the heavy schedule at work had me a little stressed. Maybe I should avoid caffeine after 7 p.m. Whatever the reason, I was awake in a silent house listening to the one mechanical clock that remains ticking in the silence before dawn. It was very peaceful.

And then I started thinking about my mortgage.
