...Sounds hit-or-miss but Ward got a lot out of it. He began joining LinkedIn groups, even those that weren't work-related, like one for members of his college fraternity. That landed him a note from a vice president at Cisco Systems - a man on the other side of the country who hadn't even gone to the same school as Ward was now telling him that he'd ask around to see who was hiring. Ward got a similar message from a recruiter in Texas; he didn't hire for technology jobs but would pass along Ward...
...manner, indeed, that dwarfed the fireworks in the U.S. when state-owned CNOOC tried to acquire UNOCAL. Opponents of the Australia deal went so far as to sponsor television commercials that actually invoked the June 4, 1989 massacre in Tiananmen Square.

On Tuesday night, a group of about 100 young men gathered on one side of Parkway Square waving pictures of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and shouting slogans like "Ahmadi, you're my life! You're my future President!" Facing them - separated by a line of police and plainclothes security officials - stood a crowd of young men at least twice as large. Dressed in green...
...wounded to the nearby Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences hospital as investigators combed the scene for evidence. Debris from the blast was scattered in a wide radius, with pellets packed into the bomber's vest found as far as a few hundred yards away. Cabins located on one side of the compound were badly damaged and charred...
