Datebook

Pass the pecans

Michelle Philippe Apr 16, 2014

From the Marketplace Datebook, here’s a look at what’s coming up April 17:

  • Events continue at the National Cathedral in Washington in observance of Holy Week.
  • NASA is scheduled to make an announcement—a discovery by its Kepler Space Telescope.
  • Securities, salsa and soda. Goldman Sachs, Chipotle and Pepsi are slated to report quarterly earnings.
  • “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” has a birthday. Actress Rooney Mara will be 29.
  • And April is National Pecan Month. That’s just nuts.
