Wednesday’s game against its second top-10 opponent of the year started with Harvard grabbing a 2-0 lead. While the Crimson put another shot past Spartan goaltender Meagan Minson, San Jose State tallied four of its own, leading by one goal going into the second quarter...
...Austin also offers a model of hope. The city's surfeit of computer-programming talent allowed a video-game outfit to hire 50 developers and designers in the past two months. A manufacturer is building a new plant north of town to take advantage of the growing commercial-lighting industry even as its construction-related business falls off.

But getting people into those jobs - nearly 30% of which are for nurses - is a multipronged process. A few years ago, there was a waiting list to enter nursing school in Austin. Seton had to hire nurses trained in the Philippines. Now, with the clinical-education center's extra capacity and new partnerships with nursing programs at local colleges, Seton can hire locally...
