This week's SiteNet Dispatch brings you new and exclusive stories from the brand-new May 2007 issue of Site Selection, including:

Sir Richard Branson and Fifth Graders
Beaming Them Up: Virgin Group Chairman Sir Richard Branson held his ears as he and a group of fifth-graders from Las Cruces, N.M., fired toy rockets at the site of Spaceport America in 2005. By late 2008 or early 2009, Branson plans to be launching full-scale suborbital space-liner flights from the $225-million Spaceport.

  • "Palm to Create 150 UK Jobs"
  • "BlueScope to Expand in Indonesia"
  • "VirtualLogix Targets Japan"
  • "Ingosstrakh Launches Ukrainian Subsidiary"
  • "Continental Invests in India"
Where In The World?
Broccoli lives here.

Broccoli hasn't been the food kingdom's easiest rider – some folks just really don't like the stuff. But rest assured, there is a "World Capital of Broccoli." See if you can name it in our new "Where in the World?" (Readers were very sharp on our previous question: Seventy-five percent correctly picked Zurich as the city recently ranked as "the world's No. 1 city for quality of life." Barcelona was the only other option that received a substantial number of votes, with the beautiful Catalonian capital capturing 17 percent.)
