Scope and Content Note
This collection includes the proposals for the original Science Development Plan grant, as well as the 1970 supplementary grant. The collection also includes progress reports submitted approximately every six months between May 1966 and June 1971, then annually from 1972 to 1974.
Historical Note
In 1965, North Carolina State University at Raleigh applied to the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund a Science Development Plan under the Science Development Program for Colleges and Universities. The goal of the plan, as stated in the proposal, was to obtain "support to strengthen faculties in the biosciences; materials, mechanics and electrotechnics in engineering; and the social sciences." The grant application also requested funds "for purchase of limited amounts of necessary research equipment." The university submitted this grant application at a time when its faculty faced increasing demand for classes, and the teaching load and other duties of academic life cut into research time. Companies such as Corning Glass, Monsanto Chemical, and IBM were moving into the region, and the university sought increased collaboration with these industries.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the university's original proposal and a 1970 supplementary proposal under the grant GU 1590. Work under GU 1590 continued from 1966 to 1974. The grant was originally scheduled to end on June 30, 1973, but it was extended one more year without funding. The grant funded engineering projects, as well as the development of activities related to biomathematics on the N.C. State campus.

Graduate School diversity statement
The Office of Graduate Admissions and Educational Psychology Department embrace the University of Minnesota's position that promoting and supporting diversity among the student body is central to the academic mission of the University. A diverse student body enriches graduate education by providing a multiplicity of views and perspectives that enhance research, teaching, and the development of new knowledge. A diverse mix of students promotes respect for, and opportunities to learn from, others with the broad range of backgrounds and experiences that constitute modern society. Higher education trains the next generation of leaders of academia and society in general, and such opportunities for leadership should be accessible to all members of society. The Office of Graduate Admissions and its constituent graduate programs are therefore committed to providing equal access to educational opportunities through recruitment, admission, and support programs that promote diversity, foster successful academic experiences, and cultivate the leaders of the next generation.

Mission & Goals
Founded in 1901, Trevecca Nazarene University is a fully accredited, comprehensive institution of higher education located in Nashville, Tennessee. It is guided by the following principles.
Trevecca Nazarene University is a Christian community providing education for leadership and service.
Trevecca Nazarene University, founded in 1901 by J.O. McClurkan, is a private, accredited, comprehensive institution of higher learning that exists to meet the higher educational needs of the Church of the Nazarene by providing educational services to qualified individuals who desire a university education in a Christian environment and from a Christian understanding. Its academic programs are based on Christian values that promote scholarship, critical thinking, and meaningful worship for students in preparation for lives of leadership and service to the church, the community, and the world at large.
As the official university for the Church of the Nazarene in the southeastern United States, Trevecca is guided by the Articles of Faith and the Covenant of Christian Conduct of the denomination. It emphasizes the authority of the Bible, time-honored tradition, reasoned thought, and authentic experience of Christian holiness as interpreted by the Wesleyan doctrine and worldview. The university welcomes students of any religious affiliation who subscribe to its ideals and standards.
Trevecca intends that its graduates be socially-conscious, globally-aware, and actively-engaged individuals who are developing holistically in the cognitive, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual areas of being. The desire is that each student will develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They are to be persons of strong Christian character able to make ethical decisions based on biblical principles and reflective thought. Their characteristics should include competence, responsibility, compassion, and the ability to integrate Christian faith and learning in practice.
The university provides a variety of face to face and distance education nontraditional and continuing education professional programs at the undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels. Traditional undergraduate curricular programs focus on the liberal arts and sciences as reflected in the core curriculum and emphasize a number of professional content areas. While the primary focus of Trevecca faculty is to teach, faculty members are encouraged as reflective practitioners to conduct action research that contributes to the practical wisdom of applied knowledge and enhances the learning experience. All programs strive to prepare students for positions of leadership and service in their chosen careers by clarifying their life calling, developing their intellectual abilities, and engaging them in research, service learning, internships, and/or other opportunities that will allow them to demonstrate practical application of their knowledge and skills.
To achieve its purpose, Trevecca employs faculty, administrators, and staff who model the ideals of the university and, as mentors, seek to foster a supportive and challenging environment in which every student can realize his or her full potential in Christ. Therefore, Trevecca seeks to employ Christians who are competent, professionally qualified, and fully committed to the university's mission and purpose.
In founding Trevecca in 1901, J. O. McClurkan exhibited an entrepreneurial spirit aimed at meeting the deepest needs of the people of Nashville. His death was front page news. He was known for his selfless service. The genius of his work was the marriage of a holy passion to serve and practical expertise. His legacy is a school founded to shape Godly servants, true saints. Today, we are challenged to build a vision for the next chapter.
As this journey begins, we must keep our eyes on why we exist: to be a Christian community providing high quality education for leadership and service. We live in a world of human need, a world that needs us to stay focused on accomplishing our mission. Centuries of education, technology, and religion have not alleviated human need. At times, they have only deepened the pain of our world. As a result, pessimism has become the ruling attitude of our day. The lack of genuinely transforming power has left us with sound bytes, veneer promises, and evaporating idols. The reason we exist is to make a difference in the world through people who participate in the Trevecca experience.
Two things are needed to make the difference–
People who have a God-given, holy passion to serve
People whose practical expertise is transforming.
The marriage of holy passion and practical expertise is a rare commodity. We believe that holy passion is the result of a transforming encounter with God. Such holiness cannot be educated into people, but is the gift of God available to all who encounter the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Without this, service to our fellow human tends to tire or turn selfish.
At the same time, a holy passion to serve without practical expertise may harm the very person we intend to help. God has given us the capacity for great service through honing our skills to the highest level of expertise.
We are now writing the next chapter in this grand story. Ten years from now,
- Trevecca will be a household word in the city of Nashville, known for the Christ-like character and practical expertise of its graduates.
- The Church of the Nazarene in the southeast will be invigorated by graduates who lead our churches into the trenches of human need.
- Students will come to Trevecca because they hear stories of life-transformation. They will stay and graduate from Trevecca because they want their life to matter here and now for God.
- People will want to work at Trevecca because the culture is infected with spiritual depth, excellent service, highest level of trust, and intellectual rigor. People who just want a paycheck will not bother to apply.
- Teachers will be as committed to their students as they are to their field of study and will define success as Christians prepared to serve with excellence.
- Generous donors will see the difference Trevecca is making in the world and will fund the cause with unprecedented gifts.
- Murfreesboro Road will be changed visibly, socially, and morally.
Should we fail, the Church of the Nazarene will flounder in its mission; the city of Nashville will be less just, less peaceful, less neighborly; and a generation of students will be deprived of the most transforming experience of their life. Those who have gone before us insist that we not let McClurkan's dream die. And we will not.
Operational Goals/Values Statement
At Trevecca Nazarene University we are committed to:
- Being a Christian university that serves its primary stakeholder, the southeastern region of the Church of the Nazarene, through delivering higher education rooted in the Wesleyan-holiness tradition.

- Growing enrollment while developing new programs in alignment with the mission.
- Providing high quality support services at all program locations, implementing best practices in program delivery, and maintaining all university resources in a responsible manner.
Institutional Educational Goals
Trevecca Nazarene University seeks to develop a graduate who:
- Has a character capable of leadership and service shaped by the habits and practices of the Christian tradition.
- Has developed the capacity for disciplined reflection on the faith through the ministry of the Church and exposure to the parameters of the Christian faith, especially as it is engendered in the Wesleyan-holiness tradition.
- Understands the literary, artistic, mathematical, and scientific contributions along with the persons, events, and ideas, which have given shape to civilization.

Strategic Initiatives
INITIATIVE 1: Telling the Trevecca Story

Metastatic brain tumor
A metastatic brain tumor is cancer that started in another part of the body and spread to the brain.
Alternative Names
Brain tumor - metastatic (secondary); Cancer - brain tumor (metastatic)
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Many tumor or cancer types can spread to the brain, the most common being lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, certain sarcomas, and testicular and germ cell tumors. Some types of cancers only spread to the brain infrequently, such as colon cancer, or very rarely, such as prostate cancer.
Growing brain tumors may place pressure on nearby parts of the brain. Brain swelling due to these tumors also causes increased pressure within the skull.
Metastatic brain tumors are classified depending on the exact site of the tumor within the brain, type of tissue involved, original location of the tumor, and other factors. Rarely, a tumor can spread to the brain, yet the original site or location of the tumor is unknown. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP) origin.
Metastatic brain tumors occur in about one-fourth of all cancers that metastasize (spread through the body). They are much more common than primary brain tumors (tumors that start in the brain) and occur in approximately 10 - 30% of adult cancers.
- Decreased coordination, clumsiness, falls
- Rapid emotional changes or strange behaviors
- Fever (sometimes)
- General ill feeling or lethargy
- Headache -- recent or a new, more severe type type for the person
- Memory loss, poor judgment, difficulty solving problems
- Numbness, tingling, pain, and other changes in sensation
- Personality changes
- Seizures -- new for the person
- Speech difficulties
- Vision changes -- double vision, decreased vision
- Vomiting -- with or without nausea
- Weakness of a body area
Note: Specific symptoms vary. The symptoms commonly seen with most types of metastatic brain tumor are those caused by increased pressure in the brain.
Signs and tests
An examination reveals neurologic changes that are specific to the location of the tumor. Signs of increased pressure within the skull are also common. Some tumors may not show symptoms until they are very large. Then, they suddenly cause rapid decline in the person's neurologic functioning.
The original (primary) tumor may already be known, or it may be discovered after an examination of tumor tissues from the brain indicates that it is a metastatic type of tumor.
- A CT scan or MRI of the brain can confirm the diagnosis of brain tumor and identify the location of the tumor. MRI is usually better for finding tumors in the brain.
- Cerebral angiography is occasionally performed. It may show a space-occupying mass, which may or may not be highly vascular (filled with blood vessels).
- A chest x-ray, mammogram, CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and other tests are performed to look for the original site of the tumor.
- An EEG may reveal abnormalities in the nerve signaling in the brain.
- An examination of tissue removed from the tumor during surgery or CT scan-guided biopsy is used to confirm the exact type of tumor. If the primary tumor can be located outside of the brain, the primary tumor is usually biopsied rather than the brain tumor.
- A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is sometimes also performed to test the cerebral spinal fluid to look for cells related to the tumor.
Treatment depends on the size and type of the tumor, the initial site of the tumor, and the general health of the person. The goals of treatment may be relief of symptoms, improved functioning, or comfort.
Radiation to the whole brain is often used to treat tumors that have spread to the brain, especially if there is more than one tumor.
Surgery may be used for metastatic brain tumors when there is a single lesion and when there is no cancer elsewhere in the body. Some may be completely removed. Tumors that are deep or that infiltrate brain tissue may be debulked (removing much of the tumor's mass to reduce its size).
Surgery may reduce pressure and relieve symptoms in cases when the tumor cannot be removed.
Chemotherapy for brain metastases is not as helpful as surgery or radiation for many types of cancer.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is used at some hospitals. This is a form of radiation therapy that focuses high-powered x-rays on a small area of the brain.
Medications for some symptoms of a brain tumor may include the following:
- Corticosteroids such as dexamethasone to reduce brain swelling
- Osmotic diuretics such as urea or mannitol to reduce brain swelling
- Anticonvulsants such as phenytoin or levetiracetam to reduce seizures
- Pain medication
- Antacids or antihistamines to control stress ulcers
When widespread cancer is discovered, treatment may focus primarily on relief of pain and other symptoms. This is called palliative or supportive care.
Comfort measures, safety measures, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other interventions may improve the patient's quality of life. Legal advice may be helpful in forming advanced directives, such as power of attorney, in cases where continued physical or intellectual decline is likely.
Support Groups
For additional information, see cancer resources.
Expectations (prognosis)
In general, the probable outcome is fairly poor. For many people with metastatic brain tumors, the cancer spreads to other areas of the body. Death often occurs within 2 years.
- Brain herniation (fatal)
- Loss of ability to function or care for self
- Loss of ability to interact
- Permanent, progressive, profound neurologic losses
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you develop a persistent headache that is new or different for you.
Call your provider or go to the emergency room if you or someone else suddenly develops stupor, vision changes, or speech impairment, or has seizures that are new or different.

Stocks struggle after August jobs data
US nonfarm payrolls rose a weak 96,000 in August. The unemployment rate fell to 8.1%. Intel lowers its Q3 revenue outlook.
Stocks were little changed Friday after the government's monthly employment report showed job growth slowed sharply in August.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was down 13 points at 13,279. The S&P 500 ($INX) was up 3 points at 1,435. The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) was down 4 points at 3,132.
On Thursday, U.S. markets soared as investors cheered the European Central Bank's bond-buying plan and were encouraged by several jobs reports. The Dow closed up 245 points at 13,292. The S&P 500 was 29 points 1,432. The Nasdaq Composite was up 67 points at 3,136.
August nonfarm payrolls
While investors kept the positive momentum early Friday morning, markets soon pared gains after the Labor Department released its August jobs report. Total nonfarm payrolls increased by 96,000, lower than the 130,000 economists had expected, according to Briefing.com. The Labor Department also revised down job growth for the past two months by 41,000. In July, it revised job growth down to 141,000.
The unemployment rate declined to 8.1% in August from 8.3% in the previous month, but the drop was due to a smaller labor force. Economists had forecast the unemployment rate to hold steady at 8.3%.
The lackluster jobs report could prompt the Federal Reserve to act. As Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said just last week, "stagnation of the labor market in particular is a grave concern." Bernanke has said he doesn't rule out more quantitative easing, and the tepid job growth could be seen as the driver for the Fed to act.
- MORE MARKETS | Commodities | Treasurys | Currencies | World stocks
Asian markets closed mostly higher and European markets were also higher after ECB President Mario Draghi outlined an unlimited bond-buying program to lower struggling eurozone countries' borrowing cost.
Meanwhile, economic data Friday also boosted sentiment. German industrial production unexpectedly rose in July by 1.3%, much better that what economists had expected. Also, German exports and imports edged up 0.5% and 0.9%, respectively, in July. These are indications that Europe's largest economy is weathering the debt crisis.
U.K. industrial production also surged in July by the most in 25 years. Production rose 2.9%, the most since February 1987 and better than expectations. The U.K. surge indicates some strength in the economy after it shrank 0.5% in the second quarter, partly because of the jubilee holiday. It could mean the U.K. economy is slowly crawling out of the recession.
Stocks to watch
Intel (INTC) shares fell after the chip-maker lowered its third-quarter revenue guidance because of weaker-than-expected demand in a challenging macroeconomic environment. Intel now expects revenue to be $13.2 billion, plus or minus $300 million, compared with its previous expectation of revenue of between $13.8 billion and $14.8 billion.
Kroger (KR), the biggest U.S. supermarket operator, posted a slightly lower quarterly profit compared to last year's period, but it was nonetheless better-than-expected. The company also slightly raised its forecast for the full year, Reuters reported.
Lululemon Athletica (LULU) reported a higher quarterly profit that was inline with analyst estimates. The yoga apparel retailer alsoboosted its outlook on Friday.
News Corp. (NWSA), the media company controlled by Rupert Murdoch, agreed to buy Consolidated Media Holdings for A$1.94 billion ($2 billion) to boost its stake in Australian pay television. Billionaire Kerry Stokes weighed making a counter-offer. News Corp. agreed to pay A$3.45 a share and investors will also get a six Australian cents a share dividend from the target, Sydney-based Consolidated said in a filing.
Gunmaker Smith & Wesson Holding (SWHC) raised its full-year sales forecast as it expects to continue tapping growing demand for guns in the United States and boosting production capacity.
Dell (DELL) declared its first cash dividend. Stockholders of record as of Oct. 1 will receive 8 cents a share, payable on Oct. 22, the company said.
Apple (AAPL) has reduced its orders for memory chips for its new iPhone from its main supplier and competitor Samsung Electronic, a source told Reuters.
Mylan (MYL) said it settled with Pfizer (PFE) on a lawsuit that accused it of infringing patents on overactive bladder drug Detrol LA.
Kraft Foods (KFT) warned that 2013 earnings for its standalone international snack company would likely be lower than some forecasts because of unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
The job creators (Small businesses)are on the sidelines. Why? The same reason as 3 years ago. UNCERTAINTY. Not the economy side. We have dealt with that for ever. It is uncertainty in employee costs (healthcare, regulations, inflation driving higher interest rates, taxes and what we will have left to reinvest.and the ability to get a bank loan to grow. Small business America is still waiting. Our company isn't hiring. When busy, everyone is working overtime (at 1.5 times pay...9% more $$ this year). The money we make is paying down debt and investing on only sure things...like automation...
We will review our strategy again in November.
Recession over in 2009 -
Average jobs created per month in 2011 153,000
Average jobs created per month in 2012 139,000 (thru August)
Actual jobs created in June & July revised DOWN by 41,000
Reminds me of the weekly unemploymnet first time claims. Last week's #'s were revised upward by 3,000, and this is a weekly norm.
AND - again - how many of these are full time w/ benefits and at least $50,000 a year.
This will not help us out of our housing debacle
Yep at 200,000 new jobs a month needed to merely keep the young people employed we are still losing jobs at 96,000 new jobs a month.
Pretty much more and more people are falling off the unemployment rolls or are finding they do not qualify for unemployment benefits when they apply.
WE ARE STILL CAUGHT IN A DEATH SPIRAL OF LOST JOBS AND an ever weaker and weaker economy.
Yep the Europeans going into the same debt trap that has caught Japan and the USA is not something that we should be hoping for.
Instead of dealing with the problem and letting those countries in Europe go bankrupt and then get on with their lives like Iceland has already done. The ECB has doomed Europe into a debt trap that will kill it's economy.
Pretty much the China plan for world domination is slightly ahead of schedule they thought this would happen in 2020 but it seems like the collapse of the western economies is going to be sooner 2014 rather than later 2020.
Wonder how much the leaders of Japan and USA and Europe have been paid to trash their countries???
The White House just made this announcement - The jobs market is going in the right direction. Sounds like there were way to many beers drunk at last nights beer summit.
Again, it is not just the weak numbers, but are these jobs people can build a career on or raise a family, purchase cars, appliances, houses, FOOD, clothing, etc?
The numbers do not impress on any level. The majority of the job increases according to this report are service sector jobs.{Can you say "You want fries with that".}
It's close enough to the presidential election for Ben Dover to roll out a worthless QE3 to dump in the hog trough for the swine to snarf up and show about a 2 month rise in the markets only.
I'm surprised Ol'Leroy wasn't on the stage last night flopping around sobbing" I don't know what to do". It all Bush's fault."
Yep as we lose our technological advantage by not investing in high tech and the sciences most of our colleges have turned into football money making machines that could care less about advancement of knowledge and more about how big a football stadium they can build. College Presidents are selected now not on their ability to push forward knowledge but their ability to secure government loans to fund the huge salaries of their expanded executive branch. More than half the revenues of colleges go to the salaries of a handful of people at the top. Who says only Wall Street bankers shoudl make $250,000,000 a year??
China on the other hand has already passed us with their thousands of high tech development zones
In recent years there has been increasing concern with respect to the People Republic of
China's (PRC) intensified activities and efforts towards selected high technology
industries ("Sunrise") sectors - namely Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, and Electro-
Optics of the PRC science and technology (S&T) industries. Issues driving interest in
these areas are numerous and varied.
This report attempts to shed light and insight on specific issues addressing potential
implications to U.S. military, economic, and national security as China continues its
accelerative pace in securing and developing advanced technologies. In light of ongoing
reconfigurations of the economic landscape on a worldwide scale, as a result of
unprecedented constraints and collapses of financial markets and credit liquidity,
insolvency of numerous businesses and operations, and a severe loss of collective
confidence, though earlier priorities of overseas trends may have been adjusted
accordingly, they still remain on the forefront. National concern in the United States has
arisen that the country's once unparalleled position as leader in science and technology
has been eroded by a number of factors. These external and internal factors include the
globalization of S&T, the rise and development of science centers and technology zones
in developing countries such as China and India, and the perception that the U.S. is not
investing enough in its future given the existing pressures on its complex and
interconnected S&T enterprise. It has been well documented and recorded that a loss of
this leadership could potentially hurt the U.S. economy, living standards, and national
security. Some would even argue that we are witness of the beginning of that erosion
accelerated by the existing financial and economic upheaval.
The U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission has requested NSD Bio
Group, LLC to produce a one-time report addressing particular "Sunrise" sectors of the
PRC, recognized as key drivers contributing to China's widening economic, financial,
and national security development. The selected geographic areas covered in this report,
reflects a desire to present a fair representation of the state of R&D on these specific
sectors within the PRC in both well known and more established areas (Beijing,
Shanghai, and Tianjin), as well as in lesser known, but emerging hubs of S&T activity
(Harbin and Kunming) to the Commission.
This report draws on and adds to the many papers, reports, public hearings, and
testimonies previously submitted and witnessed by the Commission
Every month or two we have the same discussion or SNIDE REMARKS about the jobs situation...And then who you are going to blame it on, irregardless of any truths in the matter..
First off, most probably don't want to accept the possibility of the "new normal" being 4-6% unemployment, no matter what Capitalism or the Government does; UNLESS the Gov. wants to put everyone back on chain gangs, doing menial work to earn their UE and Foodstamps or Medical care.?
Of course, I personally believe that some work incentives should be applied or Demanded, before giving a populace unlimited amounts of welfare over a long period of time...
So maybe work gangs...WPA or CCC type of associations are needed.?
Free for Free has never really worked, and long term case studies,would probably bear that out.?
I'm sure glad I bought based on the ADP numbers! I am starting the Coach321 employment report next month. No surveys or research but I will magically predict unemployment and leak the number to all of you before the opening every day. Then we can trade like the big boys.
I don't see BB doing another QE with the market at these levels. At this point it's kind of like using your last bullet. It's more of a psychological ray of hope than any real protection. Why use it and destroy all hope?
You can hint at it forever though and that's all the market needs. There's plenty of money out there already.

You're sure to distract partygoers from high-fat options with this delicious spread. It's high in fiber and protein, low in fat (with no saturated fat) and a welcome addition to any party. It's also a great choice when time is short — you can whip this up in a half-hour or less.
Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Mix until smooth. Add reserved liquid to make the dip thinner, if desired. Adjust seasonings; sprinkle with garnish. If you're feeling adventurous, experiment with seasonings — try a bit of ground coriander, fresh mint or cumin. Serve with pita bread or pita chips — look for the whole wheat variety. To reduce fat, omit the tahini. For a festive touch, serve colorful cut up vegetables on the side. Try red and green bell peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower or green onions.

Flames' Roman Cervenka Czechs out fineWhile Jiri Hudler back from Czech Republic
By WES GILBERTSON, Calgary Sun
CALGARY - Czech ... and mate.
After a double dose of good news Tuesday, the Calgary Flames are hopeful their pair of prized free-agent acquisitions could both be in the lineup for Saturday's Hockey Night In Canada showdown with the Edmonton Oilers.
Veteran winger Jiri Hudler returned Tuesday from the Czech Republic, where he was mourning the death of his father, while teammate and Flames centre Roman Cervenka received clearance from a specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix to practice with his new team, a positive step in his recovery from a blood-clot in his leg.
The Czech forwards did not accompany the team to the West Coast for Wednesday's road meeting with the Vancouver Canucks (8 p.m., Sportsnet West), but they'll be waiting when the Flames return home from the one-game roadie.

OCONTO, WI (WTAQ) - A double murder trial in Oconto County has been delayed.
30-year-old Daniel Schmidt is accused of killing 32-year-old Kimberly Rose and her 21-year-old brother Leonard Marsh in May 2009. Investigators say Schmidt and Rose were having an affair.
The delay is because special prosecutor Daniel Wambach has been appointed a judge in Jefferson County. The postponement will give officials time to find a new special prosecutor.
Schmidt's trial was originally due to begin Friday, but will now take place in October.

The Gaza medical aid scandal
Stuart Littlewood views British and European inaction towards Gaza, with comprehensive failure to fulfil pledges to help the sick, wounded and destitute a month after Israel ended its 50-day onslaught.
Binyamin Netanyahu: Obnoxious, pathological liar
Jamal Kanj argues, quoting former Western leaders and senior officials, that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is a pathological liar but, despite that, his lies still go unchallenged in the Western media.
Israeli occupation's dark underbelly exposed
Jonathan Cook says the unanimous condemnation that has met the revelations by 43 Israeli intelligence veterans that much Israeli intelligence gathering targets "innocent people" shows how deeply dysfunctional Israeli society has become.
Zionism and the US educational elites
Lawrence Davidson argues that, having begun to lose the battle for public opinion, US Zionist organisations are resorting to blackmail, by leveraging their donor power to whip dependent institutions into supporting Israel.
Israel's policy of incremental genocide continues
Jamal Kanj reminds us that although Binyamin Netanyahu's latest military adventure in the Gaza Strip has failed, Israel's "starvation diet" and "incremental genocide" against the Strip's 1.7 million human beings continues.

4 tech titans tackle earnings
Earnings reports from these prominent tech companies will send important signals about the broader tech sector.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
The 10% decline in shares of Apple (AAPL) over the last several days grabbed the attention of investors even though the tech titan will not report earnings until next week. Apple shares turned around Tuesday, however, closing up more than 5%.
Several of the large technology stocks are reporting this week, and that may help set the overall tone for the tech sector.
The daily technical patterns, especially the volume patterns, can often give some valuable clues about how earnings will impact a stock's price. For example, the daily on-balance volume (OBV) for Google (GOOG) had broken its two-month uptrend and was below its weighted moving average (WMA) on April 5, just four days before the company's earnings release.
On April 12, GOOG closed strong at $651.01, which was not far below the daily Starc+ band at $654.73. However, the daily OBV just rallied back to its declining weighted moving average, which is typical of a failing rally. Even though the earnings were not overly disappointing, GOOG is now down 7.9% from the April 12 close.
A look at the volume patterns for Intel (INTC), eBay (EBAY), Qualcomm (QCOM), and EMC (EMC), all of which report earnings this week, may give some clues about how the upcoming earnings may impact the share prices.
Chart Analysis: Intel (INTC) made new 12-month highs on Monday, and the daily chart shows a solid uptrend, line a, from last September's low at $19.57. Intel reported first-quarter revenue Tuesday of $12.9 billion and a profit of $2.74 billion, or 53 cents a share. The results beat analyst expectations of revenue of $12.85 billion and a profit of 51 cents a share.
- INTC consolidated in February and early March, as it held the tight monthly support in the $26.20 area
- The relative performance, or RS analysis, broke its downtrend, line b, in March, signaling the surge in prices
- The RS line has good support now at line c
- Daily OBV has not yet made new highs and is locked in a tight range. It is still well above support at line c
- Weekly OBV (not shown) confirmed the recent highs
- There is initial support now at $27.40-$28 with further support at $26.50
eBay (EBAY) peaked at $38.18 in late March and is already down 7% from the highs. The company is scheduled to report earnings on Wednesday.
- The daily chart shows short-term support, line e, at $34.83-$35.05. A break of this support will signal a decline to the converging support, lines f and g, in the $33-$33.30 area
- RS analysis broke its uptrend, line h, on March 30. A drop below last week's lows will signal a new downtrend
- Daily OBV has also broken its uptrend, line i, and shows a pattern of lower lows and lower highs
- Weekly RS and OBV analysis (not shown) both look more positive
- There is initial chart resistance at $36.65-$37
Qualcomm (QCOM) is not far below its recent highs at $68.87 and is well above the daily uptrend, line b, which is now in the $60 area. The company is also scheduled to report earnings on Wednesday.
- QCOM confirmed a major upside breakout in February when it surged through six-year resistance, line a, in the $62 area. This breakout level was retested in early March
- The long-term trading range has potential upside targets in the $92-$95 area
- The RS line is acting stronger than prices, as it made new highs late last week
- The RS line is well above support at line c
- Daily OBV confirmed the recent highs but dropped below its weighted moving average almost two weeks ago. It is still well above longer-term support at line e
- The OBV broke through its downtrend, line d, in early 2012, and the weekly OBV (not shown) still looks strong
EMC (EMC) broke through the 2011 highs at $28.73 in early March and made a high last month at $30. EMC dropped to a low of $27.93 last week, but is now trying to rebound.
- There is minor resistance now at $29.40 and then at $30
- RS analysis confirmed the breakout when it overcame resistance, line h, in February
- OBV formed a slight negative divergence at the recent highs, line i, and has just turned down from its declining weighted moving average. It is well above its uptrend, line e
- Weekly OBV is still above its weighted moving average and did confirm the recent highs
- Next chart support is in the $27.50 area, line f, with further support at $26.50
- Long-term support is in the $25 area, line g
What It Means: Of these four tech stocks, Intel looks the best basis the daily technical analysis, while EMC looks most vulnerable. Qualcomm and eBay both look ready to correct further, and the upcoming earnings reports may cause current shareholders to sell in advance.
On a long-term basis, Intel and Qualcomm look most favorable, and those already long INTC should look to buy QCOM on a test of stronger support.
How to Profit: For Qualcomm (QCOM), go 50% long at $62.36 and 50% long at $61.24 with a stop at $56.88 (risk of approx. 8%).
Portfolio Update: Previous buyers should be long Intel (INTC) from $23.27 and should now be using a stop at $25.68.

Building a Molecular Foundation for Cancer Prevention
In this issue of the NCI Cancer Bulletin, we offer a closer look at cancer prevention research. It's an enormous topic, but I think you'll see as you read that, beyond what we already know about behavior change and cancer prevention, the field is transitioning toward studies that delve into the molecular foundations of health and disease.
Some of the most promising science under way takes advantage of advances in fields such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics - what some call "molecular prevention." Read more
Mouse Models Offer Promise in the Science of Cancer Prevention
The new generation of genetically-engineered mouse models (GEMs) holds promise for helping cancer prevention researchers refine and speed up testing of potential preventive agents. These mice are programmed to develop specific types of cancer in ways that mimic human cancer. That may make it easier for scientists, using sophisticated imaging technologies, to gauge the effects of cancer preventive substances.
This summer, NCI will convene a "think tank" of 15-18 invited experts from the fields of early intervention, prevention, and prevention screening, as well as from the NCI Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium (MMHCC), to develop research plans that fully explore the promise of GEMs. Read more

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Trailer Teases TechIn case yesterday's barebones announcement of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier left you a little uncertain as what to expect from the latest in the tactical shooter series, publisher Ubisoft has released a teaser trailer which... doesn't explain much.
Explaining that "technology evolves, threats evolve and yet war is constant"--a little less snappy than Fallout's "War. War never changes."--the trailer reveals fancy tech including adaptive camouflage and shows flashes of locations all over the globe.
A multiplayer beta will run this summer, with access granted "for a limited time" to those who buy Splinter Cell: Conviction--which hits Xbox360 on April 13.
Developed by Ubisoft Paris, Future Soldier is slated for the 2010 holiday season and will hit PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP and DS. It's not entirely clear if all versions will arrive at this time, as Ubisoft has said it "will tell more about the PC version later."

Dear Delegates,
On behalf of BASES, Cardiff Metropolitan University and the Conference Organising team, I wish to thank all the Delegates and Exhibitors who visited the Cardiff School of Sport at our Cyncoed Campus for the BASES Student Conference 2013.
It was our objective to create an environment that was engaging, comfortable, and relevant to the potential pathways that you, the future of Sport and Exercise Science in the UK, may wish to take. To facilitate this we had two excellent keynotes from Dr. Steve Ingham and his team from EIS and Sport Wales, and from our very own Professor Rob Shave. These helped set up the 'pathway to practice' theme for the conference. We also had nine practical workshops that delegates could choose from, mainly led by our dynamic staff, a bonus elite performance workshop by Sarah Rowell, CV Workshops, and, most important, a quality programme of student presenters.
We sincerely hope you enjoyed your experience at Cardiff Met and hope you will share your experiences on a survey we will send around soon. One comment Professor Rob Shave made when he first experienced the environment you all created was, 'wouldn't it be great to take all these delegates and have them in one institution!' Consequently, if you enjoyed your time and felt Cardiff Met had a place in guiding your pathway, then please check the link below or contact me or any of the staff here at Cardiff Met.

Frank was born September 21, 1929 at Omaha, Nebraska, the eldest of two sons born to Frank and Anna (Schwieger) Dragoun. He received his education from Omaha Creighton Prep High School, graduating with the class of 1947. On December 8, 1947 he was inducted into the United States Marine Corps, serving his country during the Korean War until his honorable discharge on December 7, 1951.

During his time at Central, he was instrumental in the construction of the Kingsley Dam and Power Plant.
On March 17, 2001 he was united in marriage to Boo Sostad in Deltona, Florida. The couple enjoyed time spent between Holdrege and Florida. Frank and Boo shared many years together traveling; a recent highlight was a trip to Korea, where Frank was honored by the Korean Government as an Ambassador of Peace this past September.
Frank was a member of the All Saints Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, served as Commodore of the Marine League in DeBary, and also served as Vice-President DeBary Rotary Club. He was also very active in giving back to the communities where he lived, which included 17 different service organizations.
