Moody's also cites a number of recent changes at Ford that should give the automaker's comeback extra kick in the future, including restructuring wages, work rules and retiree health-care elements in its agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW), as well as some reduction in debt, the maintenance of a sizable liquidity position and a more competitive product portfolio. (Ford obtained concessions on wages identical to those the UAW approved at GM and Chrysler, though Ford is now negotiating for additional work-rule changes and a no-strike clause...
...good as you kick butt is the essence of Harvard Business School scholar Rosabeth Moss Kanter's prescription for corporations. After a three-year study that included 350 interviews and observations in 20 countries, Kanter applauds a socially conscious way of doing business that combines pragmatism and idealism with the bottom line.

The scoring was completed 12 minutes later, when Akpan grabbed his second goal of the match. Rogers held off two Army defenders on the edge of the box, laying the ball back to Akpan, who fired past Alexander...
...Harvard capitalized on its offensive onslaught, eventually wearing down Bryant goalie Kundayi Mawema.After Mawema turned away consecutive shots off of a penalty corner, the Crimson got a rebound opportunity of its own. Late in the first half, freshman Emma Keller sent in a shot that the Bulldog goalie kicked away, only to have rookie Katelin Wahl fire the ball back in. Mawema tried to smother the shot, but Harvard players descended on the goal mouth and managed to dislodge the ball. With Mawema on the ground, the ball rolled out to Bannon, who ripped it into the right corner...
