| Posted: 24 Mar 2010 09:09 AM PDT David Goodboy is Vice President of Business Development for a New York City based multi-strategy fund. As things are slowly improving within the United States, a creeping contagion is inching its way around the world. This dire economic issue is debt and the ability for the second tier powers to meet the debt with a floundering Euro. Right now the focus is on Greece. France and Germany are approaching an agreement with the International Monetary Fund to extend aid to Greece. This creates concern that the European Union itself can't assist Greece on its own. A recent downgrade of Portugal's debt combined with the Euro hitting 10-month lows against the U.S. Dollar has exasperated the worries. The drop in the U.S. stock market this morning and yesterday is clearly tied to the international situation. I believe we can expect further tremors from the 2nd tier economies and perhaps even a few from the top tier as they work their way out of the muck. Changes are happening that may be a little painful to experience for these countries but they should emerge stronger and better on the other side. This in turn should work to trigger even more growth in the United States fulfilling the positive interconnection of the globe. Fortunately, short term stock traders can use the tremors setting off in the international arena to create buying opportunities. This is actionable benefit of the contagion. We have developed an easy to use, 3 step system to locate companies that are setting up for short term gains. This article will explain this simple process and provide 3 top Power Ratings stocks for your consideration. The first and most critical step is to only look at stocks trading above their 200-day Simple Moving Average. This assures that a strong, long term up trend is in place, increasing the odds that you are not buying into a falling knife or catching a stock in a death spiral. The second step is to drill deeper into the list locating stocks that have fallen 5 or more days in a row or experienced 5 plus consecutive lower lows. Yes, you heard me right, fallen 5 or more days in a row. I know this is counter-intuitive of conventional wisdom of buying stocks as they climb higher. However, our studies have clearly proven that stocks are more likely to increase in value after a period of down days than after a period of up days. The third and final step is a combination of whittling the list down even further by looking for names whose 2-period RSI (RSI(2)) is less than 3 (for additional information on this proven indicator click here) and the Stock PowerRating is 8 or higher. The Stock PowerRatings are a statistically based tool that is built upon 14 years of studies into the inner nature of stock prices. It ranks stocks on a scale of 1 to 10 with one being the most volatile and least likely for short term gains and 10 proven to be the most probable for gains over the next 5 days. In fact, 10 rated stocks have shown to have a 14.7 to 1 margin of outperforming the average stock in the short term. The stocks that fulfill each of the above steps have proven in extensive, statistically valid studies to possess solid odds of increasing in value over the 1 day, 2 day and 1 week time frame. Here are 3 stocks ready to for short term gains.

| Three new scholarships promote studies abroad (The Daily Reveille) Posted: 24 Mar 2010 10:05 PM PDT Tough economic times are not discouraging students from studying abroad. Lee Rivers, Institute of International Education assistant manager of outreach and special projects, presented his organization's study abroad scholarship program on campus Wednesday evening in an effort to promote new scholarships available. "We're trying to diversify who's studying abroad as well as the locations they travel to," Rivers said. IIE offers three scholarship programs including Gilman, Fulbright and Boren awards, but Rivers focused mainly on the Gilman program. Australia and New Zealand are popular countries in which to study abroad, but Gilman favors students who choose to study in less popular areas such as Egypt or Israel.
Gilman is offering more scholarships than ever before, according to its Web site. Gilman is offering a new initiative for this summer that encourages students with majors that don't typically study abroad to participate. "The STEM initiative targets science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors because they are under-represented in study abroad programs," Rivers said. Gilman only offers scholarships to students who plan to study for at least four weeks and who are currently receiving a Federal Pell Grant. "You're allowed to study anywhere in the world except somewhere on the U.S. Department of State Travel Warning List and Cuba," Rivers said. Selection for the Gilman scholarship is based off the student's ethnicity, where a student plans to study, and the diversity of the institution from which they come. "Students are not selected on a merit basis," Rivers said. Kendra Brumfield, a senior who studied in Senegal, West Africa, used her Gilman scholarship to learn in an enviornment foreign to her. "Studying abroad gives you a different perspective on what other people think," Brumfield said. Brumfield applied what she learned in Senegal to encourage high school students in Baton Rouge to study abroad. "I made a documentary of my time there and showed students at my old high school what my experience was like," Brumfield said. And Brumfield did not fear the language barrier she was presented with in Senegal, where French is the official language. "I liked how English was not a language spoken there because it made me learn quickly," she said.
Brumfield started working for Gilman after she came back from studying abroad. The Fulbright Program and Boren Awards feature internship and teaching opportunites instead of academic courses. Spring, fall and summer programs are available, and the online application for this summer's program is due April 6. "It's an all-around experience," Brumfield said.

| Grumpy, moody, all because of... (AsiaOne) Posted: 24 Mar 2010 09:37 PM PDT | THE macho "testosterone-charged" leading man in action movies is largely a myth. International studies show that it's when men have low testosterone levels that they tend to get more aggressive or moody. Dr Li Man Kay, 58, a urologist and transplant surgeon, can attest to that. The surgeon, who has always lived life to the fullest, discovered last year that he was losing his "pep". His usual jog was slower and he just wasn't "on top of the game as usual". "I am a regular runner. I run about thrice a week, doing about 5km each time. Last year, I started to notice that my running times have been slipping. It got progressively worse," said Dr Li. The veteran doctor also had difficulties staying alert in the hot afternoons.And he felt grumpier. He decided to try a new testosterone replacement therapy called Nebido to "kick-start" his system. It worked. On a recent mission trip to Nepal where he was part of a medical team which treated 1,200 patients, he said his younger team-mates were having a hard time keeping up with him on their treks to remote villages. "I was the oldest in the group, but I was walking much faster than them," he said. Endocrinologist Louis Gooren, Professor Emeritus at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, told The New Paper that anxiety, irritability and expressions of aggressive behaviour in the ageing male are not usually the result of overly high testosterone levels.
