...worried that interactive campaigns could be intrusive. Not everyone wants to be talked to by a billboard. "If somebody starts pinging phones, there's going to be consumer backlash," says Tom Burgess, ceo of Third Screen Media, a mobile-marketing and software consultant. For that reason, the newest high-tech outdoor campaigns invite consumers to opt in, say, by sending a text message.

...ultimately it is Rochester Park in one-north district?the city's newly minted tech and biomedical-science hub?that is Singapore's hottest dining address today.

Citigroup last month lowered its expectations for global stock returns for the next 12 months...
Some teens will do fine with a hazy idea of life after graduation. But others need an answer to the question Where am I going to use this? says Mike Seaton, who oversees the career-tech programs in the Glendale Unified School District. In a survey of California ninth- and 10th-graders released last week by the James Irvine Foundation, a nonprofit that awards grants to youths, 90% of students who don't like school said they would be more motivated by classes relevant to their future careers. Those students have many backers, including at least one eager salesman...
...match, 30-24. “They have good hitters,” Ridolfi said. “Once the ball went by the block, we couldn’t defend well.” Harvard will round out its season with a match against Hay rival New Jersey Tech on Saturday afternoon.
