...jobs in a city of just 650,000. The mayor's office reviewed 560 investment projects last year alone. Since 2002, unemployment dropped from 14% to under 5%. Mayor Rafal Dutkiewicz credits low production costs, a good location near the autobahns to Western Europe and a deep pool of educated young workers: local universities graduate 24,000 students each year. To achieve similar results elsewhere, he says, Poland needs better infrastructure and less regulation. "Anything entrepreneurial is still looked upon with suspicion," says Dutkiewicz. "It's crazy! Let people make money...
...style revolves around keeping possession and breaking up the opposition’s moves.In the case of talented sophomore defender-cum-midfielder Lizzy Nichols, however, it is a case of no guts, no glory—an attitude that has seen her selected as part of a 34-player pool for the United States U-20 Women’s National Team training camp in California between April 5-12.For Nichols, it is the latest in a long line of collegiate accolades with the Crimson. In the past two seasons, she has earned All-Ivy first and second team recognition...
...feather in the scale,” as Dean of Admissions Marlyn McGrath ’70 put it? Maybe no one has made the right case for legacies.

...honest, the new revival, though fluid and exceptionally well sung, isn?t quite ideal. Kelli O?Hara, as Nellie, has a pretty, pool-clear voice that - in earlier shows like the revival of Pajama Game - impressed me as the closest thing to Mary Martin this side of heaven. But in the role that Martin made famous, she falls a couple of notches short on the adorability meter. Danny Burstein?s Luther Billis could use more Bilko-esque humor, and Matthew Morrison as Lt. Cable is bland. On the other hand, Paulo Szot, as de Becque, scales down the operatic bombast...
...still the world's pilot training ground, but the pool of young talent is drying up. The number of military pilots, once a reliable source of commercial recruits, has been declining. Flight instructors, whom the industry needs to keep the pipeline of new pilots flowing, are hopping abroad rather than spending years racking up hours to qualify for bottom-rung U.S. pilot posts. And only about 20% of furloughed pilots are coming back to work, compared with 80% to 90% historically, says Jerry Glass, a Washington-based consultant and president of F&H Solutions Group...
