...adept at what they do. They have also, as it turns out, each chosen fields--in his case, law enforcement and social services, in hers, health care--that are feeling the first effects of the coming job boom. That's right. Even as thousands of Americans are still getting pink slips, powerful help is on the way. And it has more to do with demographics than economics. The oldest members of the huge baby-boom generation are now 56, and as they start retiring, job candidates with the right skills will be in hot demand. As Mitch Potter of human...
...than 34. At midday even mad dogs take refuge, though not straw-hatted tourists on five-day whirlwind tours of Burma shuttling through their checklists of temples in air-conditioned comfort.

...times, the show felt like Kraftwerk on a bad day or a poor-man’s Pink Floyd. Metheny matched David Gilmour’s expansiveness, but lacked his legendary restraint. Moreover, the sound that the Group cultivates is so electronic that it removes any spirit from the music. Heavy drapes covered Mays’ grand piano to dampen any resonance, and Vu’s trumpet was so heavily processed that he might as well been playing an electronic keyboard.
