Q: A second expedition had to be conducted to bring Lan Na under control again. The Siamese army invaded Chiang Mai, catching the Burmese command completely off guard.

In late November 1664, the Siamese evacuated Chiang Mai, and returned.

Crushed marble production (for aggregate and industrial uses) in 2006 was 11.8 million tons valued at $116 million, of which 6.5 million tons was finely ground calcium carbonate and the rest was construction aggregate. For comparison, 2005 crushed marble production was 7.76 million tons valued at $58.7 million, of which 4.8 million tons was finely ground calcium carbonate and the rest was construction aggregate. U.S. dimension marble demand is about 1.3 million tons. The DSAN World Demand for (finished) Marble Index has shown a growth of 12% annually for the 2000–2006 period, compared to 10.5% annually for the 2000–2005 period. The largest dimension marble application is tile.
How many more tons of U.S. domestic marble was produced in 2005 compared to 2006?

Q: After a tough home loss to the Ravens, the Steelers traveled to San Diego to take on the Chargers.  The Chargers scored first in the first quarter when Philip Rivers found Antonio Gates on a 12-yard pass for a 7-0 lead.  The Steelers got on the board in the 2nd quarter when Chris Boswell nailed a 47-yard field goal for a 7-3 game at halftime.  After the break, the Steelers took the lead as Antwon Blake picked off Philip Rivers and returned it 70 yards for a TD and a 10-7 lead for the only score of the period.  In the 4th quarter the Chargers scored 10 points first tying the game 10-10 when Josh Lambo kicked a 40-yard field goal followed up by Rivers and Gates hooking up again this time on an 11-yard TD pass for a 17-10 lead.  The Steelers tied the game back up when Michael Vick found Markus Wheaton on a 72-yard TD pass for a 17-17 game.  The Chargers retook the lead when Lambo kicked a 54-yard field goal for a 20-17 lead.  Getting the ball back with less than 2 minutes left, the Steelers drove down the field.  Le'Veon Bell ran for a TD from a yard out to win the game.  With the game 23-20, officials had to review it to make sure he reached in before his knee hit the ground.  The call stood and then Boswell kicked the PAT for a 24-20 victory. The Steelers defense continued their surprising resurgence of sacks and takeaways by sacking Rivers twice and getting two more turnovers. The offense scored on their final possession as time expired to clinch a much-needed road win against the Chargers. The win improved the Steelers to 3-2 on the season and snapped a five-game losing streak in California.
