They say there are parts of the country where people have never heard of financial sector recruiting. Cambridge isn't one of those places: or at least, not the stretch of brick sidewalk between FlyBy's lair on Plympton Street and the stately Sheraton Commander, where we were due to have our first date with the nation's economic destinymakers. Wearing shirts and ties and walking along Garden Street beside a be-suited Industry Expert, retained specially by FlyBy for the event, our blogging correspondents found themselves subject to the once-over of a slick-looking Asian man wearing...
...favorite of actors Ben Foster and Hunter Parrish, is on the border of funky Los Feliz and trendy Silver Lake, far from the chic boutiques of Hollywood.

She was soon the college's star performer, setting an Indian record for the women's 3,000-m steeplechase. At a national meet in Bangalore in July...
...American coal-fired power plants produce 130 million tons of fly ash every year. Industry reuses some of it for asphalt, cement, and brick manufacture, but 57 percent of fly ash is disposed of in hundreds of landfills across the country. Astonishingly, the Environmental Protection Agency does not regulate fly ash, which contains arsenic, lead, mercury, and uranium, as a hazardous material. It recommends that coal plants store fly ash in insulation-lined landfills to prevent leakage but has no mandate to actually enforce this suggestion...
