BELOIT, Wis. (AP) _ Regal Beloit Corp., which makes motion control and power generation products, said Thursday first quarter profit grew 20 percent as higher generator and industrial sales boosted revenue in the company's biggest division.

HOUSTON (AP) _ Exxon Mobil Corp., the world's largest publicly traded oil company, said Thursday record crude prices helped its net income grow 17 percent in the first quarter, but the results came in below Wall Street forecasts.
