The last paragraph.. <<...Voters in Houston made that choice after learning that pension sweeteners issued there in 2001 were allowing some people to retire in their 40s. Others, who participated in a special program that let them simultaneously work and collect pension money in high-interest accounts, got an even better deal, sometimes walking away with one-time payments of a million dollars or more on top of their regular pensions. The city raised the eligibility requirements for retirement and cut some of the biggest sweeteners.>>

US return to natural size doesn't augur well for Canada. Canada time passed. It should had boosted population with robust importation to have some 140 million today. US return to natural size, means miniaturization of Canada.

Tell SoT: Ethanol industry spurs jobs in variety of fields. More Iowans are finding themselves in a field they never knew existed when they were in school. The expanding ethanol industry is attracting people from a variety of professions -- and more are expected as another 10 ethanol plants are planned for Iowa. The state already has 25 plants. Since 2000, the number of U-S ethanol plants has doubled to more than 100, with more than 30 other plants under construction. Meanwhile, people like Julie Rohrdanz are capitalizing on the opportunities in the industry. She grew up in rural Sac County with ambitions of someday becoming a veterinarian. Today, she works as a laboratory manager at Lincolnway Energy, just west of Nevada. Other workers were employed in various industries before joining the company _ everything from die casting to farming. Rohrdanz was a chemist before joining the ethanol industry.
