Apple comes under pressure to cough up more cash to its shareholders
November 2 is election day in the United States. As expected, the economy is the dominant issue in the 435 House of Representative and 37 Senate races as well as for the 37 governorships up for grabs. Pollsters have identified anxiety over China’s rise and anger over outsourcing as buttons they can push to mobilize voters. In many states, candidates are hammering their opponents with charges that they have facilitated the movement of jobs to China.

studentship
United States
In the US a studentship is similar to a scholarship but involves summer work on a research project. The amount paid to the recipient is normally tax-free, but the recipient is required to fulfill work requirements. Types of studentships vary among universities and countries. Studentships are sometimes known as teaching and research assistantships. Studentships are almost exclusively awarded to research students, preferably at the Ph.D. level.
United Kingdom
In the UK, a 'studentship' is a common name for a PhD scholarship. At Christ Church, Oxford, however, the term Studentship has the same meaning as the term Fellowship has at other colleges, i.e. the office of a Student or the duration thereof, or the Studentscollectively.
