Gasline Attack: Egypt must involve Sinai during transition. By Mary E. Stonaker

Dissidents in Egypt have turned violent to protest gas exports amid mass domestic shortages despite announcements and agreements with Jordan and intentions with Israel to raise the sale price. This attack, the third on the Sinai Peninsula pipeline in four months, adds a further dimension to the nation re-building challenge facing transitional leaders in Cairo. Enlisting and recruiting Bedouins now will prove quite difficult and will entail a series of meetings with local leaders to settle on a mutually-beneficial terms. Steps have been taken by Egyptian transitional leaders who reached out to Bedouin tribal leaders, however the meetings have not proven fruitful in the eyes of the Bedouins just yet. Bedouins protested after the meeting this month claiming misrepresentation by their elders.

&Quot;The world has long been fascinated by India's culture, history, and recently, the country's spectacular economic growth. With a per annum growth exceeding 8%, India presents an exciting opportunity for domestic and multinational companies alike. Throughout this conference we will explore the various sectors driving this economic expansion." Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) recently introduced H.R.6039, which would allow masters and Ph.D. level graduates from U.S. universities in science, technology, engineering, and math to obtain green cards without waiting in long lines, if they have job offers from U.S. employers. The measure enjoys strong bipartisan support, initial co-sponsors include: Reps. Chris Cannon (R-UT), Michael Capuano (D-MA), Chris Carter (R-TX), John Conyers (D-MI), Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Tom Davis (R-VA), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Wayne Gilchrist (R-MD), Mike Honda (D-CA), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), George Miller (D-CA), David Reichert (R-WA), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), John Shadegg (R-AZ), Adam Smith (D-WA), and Ellen Tauscher (D-CA). �More than 50% of the graduates from U.S. universities in masters and Ph.D. programs in science and engineering are foreign born,� noted Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �If we want our economy to continue competing in the global market, we have to retain these foreign students so they compete with us instead of against us in other countries. These men and women are the innovators of tomorrow, and we aren�t the only ones looking to retain their talents. Increasingly, employers from Europe, Australia, Canada, and even China and India, are beating U.S. employers for valuable talent. In 2000, for example, 75% of the world�s engineers were hired by U.S. employers�just six years later in 2006, that percentage dropped to 63%. This legislation will give U.S. employers another tool to recruit the world�s best and brightest.
