When the Senate voted last week to add $4 billion to a defense-spending bill to prepare for a bird-flu epidemic, three-fourths of the money was earmarked for Tamiflu and other antiviral medications. But a dilemma looms.

Yet the industry has reported a shortage of 20,000 long-haul drivers. "With the image of the truck driver barreling down a highway, shouting at you, there's a stigma attached to the job," says David Terkanian, a BLS economist. "People...
...It’s hard to come into a school as a freshman. Now I feel like everyone is on the same page and continuing to play strongly." Connolly, who proved he can handle high-pressure situations in the team’s win against Brown, now can now add giving up only one goal to his list of accomplishments. "I have big shoes to fill coming in after [injured senior goalie] Robbie [Burmeister]," Connolly said. "He’s amazing. But the defense stepped it up and helped a lot." From his vantage point in goal, Connolly...
