...than it created, according to a study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. Although it focuses on iron and steel provisions, the "buy American" clause would save just 1,000 U.S. jobs because steel is very capital intensive, the study's authors Gary Hufbauer and Jeffrey Schott say. "In the giant U.S. economy, with a labor force of roughly 140 million people, 1,000 jobs or less is a very small number," they wrote. That number, they contend, would be exceeded by the jobs that would then be lost if other countries emulate U.S. policies or retaliate...
...global recession will clearly take some air out of the green-investment bubble. FPL Group, the largest operator of wind power in the U.S., just announced that it would cut back on new turbines, while Germany's Schott Solar, one of the oldest solar-power companies in the world, pulled out of a planned $900 million initial public offering.

His school was one of three recently honored by the Schott Foundation for excellence in educating black male students--the most troubled cohort but also the group making the greatest progress in many areas. Hodge told me that when he arrived at the combination middle school and high school 11 years ago, the academy was already a great success--but the student body was 80% female. The new principal made it his business to recruit more...
...Warhol is already at an easel. Rose has refused "all the money in the world" to put Japan at the end of his itinerary. Waggling one of the black Japanese bats he has taken to hiding from souvenir hunters--and perhaps from Reds Owner-Auto Dealer Marge ("Buy American") Schott--Rose says he will not risk his reputation or the glory of his record...
