News - Article in the New York Times about sweet potatoes, which of course are a main attraction at Granny Weir's Thanksgiving Day dinners: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/20/dining/20YAMS.html

Comment - I was surprised to learn that American sweet potatoes are neither potatoes nor yams. Believed to be a native of Central America, they are closely related to the morning glory, with the same purplish, heart-shaped leaves. Most sweet potatoes are grown in South Carolina, California and Louisiana.

News - I'm quoted in the Lansing State Journal this morning in article about college grads looking for jobs: http://www.lsj.com/news/business/021122_jobs_1a-8a.html

Comment - I told the reporter that grads should remember that big companies that have booths at recruitment fairs are not the only places to look for a job after graduation. Small businesses can be a great place to work, because you usually report to the owner and you get more opportunities to cross train and learn new skills.
