...jobs do appear, the nation?s unforgiving low-wage business culture-the dark shame of Mexico's political and economic leaders, which NAFTA was also supposed to reform-makes sure that they still often pay in a day what similar work would pay in an hour in the U.S. Add the recent deluge of dirt-cheap Chinese imports into North America that are taking business previously provided by Mexico, and the urgency for Mexican workers to head north only heightens...
...Republican leaders steering the debate insist that the FCAT will not be the sole determining factor, and they are quick to add that the issue is not whether Florida teachers are going to be paid based on performance, but how. In their mind, the continuing emergence of economic powerhouses such as India and China makes nothing short of a radical transformation of the education system - in all its many facets - necessary for U.S. students to compete.

His 1988 duet with Dwight Yoakam, Streets of Bakersfield, was his last...
...Institute. But the nearly double-digit growth rates that are responsible for those nightmare projections also present an environmental opportunity. "Anything you want to do about clean energy is easier to do from the outset," says David Moskowitz, an energy consultant who has advised Chinese officials. "Every time they add a power plant or factory, they can add one cleaner and better than before." If China and India can muster the will and resources to leapfrog the West's energy-heavy development path, dangerous climate change might be averted. "China and India have to demonstrate to other countries that...
