Bomb: Iraq's interior minister says attacks were 'definitely coordinated' Continued from page 4A Thursday, according to a statement posted on a militant Web site. The authenticity of the statement could not be verified, and it was un clear whether the three “heroic oper ations” it cites — attacks on a govern ment complex and “a convoy of invading forces” — included the bombs that killed the children. The U.S. military said American soldiers were taking part in the cele bration but that no convoy was pass ing through the area. Deputy Interior Minister Gen. Hus sein Ali Kamal said intense military pressure on insurgents holed up in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, was forc ing them to turn their bombs on the capital. He said the day’s attacks were “definitely coordinated.” “They are killing citizens and spreading horror. They have no aims except killing as many Iraqis as they can,” Kamal told The Associated Press. American jets, tanks and ar tillery units have repeatedly targeted al-Zarqawi’s followers in Fallujah, as coalition forces seek to assert control over insurgent enclaves ahead of elections slated for January. After the bombings at the government-sponsored celebration in the capital, Yarmouk Hospital re ceived 42 bodies, including 35 chil dren, said Dr. Azhar Zeid. The hospi tal also treated 131 wounded, 72 of them under age 14, added Dr. Mo hammed Salaheddin. Some of the children, who are near the end of a nationwide school vaca tion, said they were attracted to the neighborhood celebration by Ameri can soldiers handing out candy. “The Americans called us.

As for costs, Vanderkar said most forms of financial aid apply to study abroad. Students who pay out-of state tuition may even pay less dur ing their time overseas. “Students who plan ahead can ap ply for several scholarships,” said Vanderkar. To qualify for overseas education, students must turn in applications on time, meet grade point average requirements and fulfill require ments specific to the program, such as language proficiency. Students who satisfy these requirements then undergo a personal interview with a program coordinator. While certain programs require fluency in a foreign language, there are programs in non-English speak ing countries that require no for eign-language experience because the classes are taught in English.

According to the University release, $1.75 million of the $2 million was reinvested into research by allocating the money to academic programs and faculty inventors. The University has two other companies based on campus research, according to the press release. One company is MitoScience, LCC, which uses research conducted by University biology Professor Roderick Capaldi and Michael Marusich, director of the Monoclonal Antibody Facility. Their research has been commercialized and is used in the study of mutations that may cause Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. The second company is GradWeb, web-based educational software that helps graduate students, faculty and departments interact more efficiently by reducing paperwork and adminis trative hours.
