From 2010 to 2011, growth in part-time graduate enrollment outpaced that of full-time enrollment

From 2010 to 2011, enrollment of part-time graduate students in science and engineering (S&E) fields grew at a higher rate than that of full-time S&E graduate students for the first time since 2005.

The new finding comes from a report released today by the National Science Foundation that reveals that enrollment of part-time S&E graduate students increased 1.6 percent versus 0.5 percent for full-time S&E graduate students from 2010 to 2011.

During the past decade, enrollment of full-time graduate students in S&E grew almost 25 percent, from approximately 325,000 students in 2002 to approximately 411,200 students in 2011. Enrollment of part-time students increased nearly 15 percent, from approximately 129,300 students in 2002 to approximately 149,700 students in 2011.

Self Storage REIT CubeSmart Completes $800M in Unsecured ...

Self-storage real estate investment trust CubeSmart has completed approximately $800 million in unsecured bank financing through amendments to its existing credit facility and term loan agreements, company officials announced.

"With our amended credit facilities, we benefit from substantially improved pricing as well as extended terms that reinforce our well-staggered debt-maturity profile," said Tim Martin, chief financial officer. "We are delighted to have strong and continued support from our long-standing banking relationships. This recommitment from our banks further solidifies our financial position and enhances our ability to execute on our business plan."

An amended $200 million senior unsecured term loan consists of two $100 million loans, each maturing in June 2018. One was originally a five-year loan set to mature in 2016. The second was originally a seven-year loan whose maturity date is unchanged. The first loan is priced at 1.5 percent over Libor, while the second loan is priced at 2 percent over Libor.

CubeSmart's amended $600 million senior unsecured credit facility consists of a $100 million term loan with a December 2014 maturity, a $200 million loan with a January 2019 maturity, and a $300 million revolving line of credit with a June 2017 maturity. The company has the option to extend the term of the revolver for an additional year. The borrowing rate on the revolver is priced at 1.6 percent over Libor, including fees, and both of the term loans are priced at 1.5 percent over Libor.

The company did not enter into any new hedging arrangements in conjunction with the amended facilities.

CubeSmart owns or manages 519 self-storage facilities across the United States and operates the CubeSmart Network, which consists of more than 800 additional self-storage facilities. According to the Inside Self-Storage Top-Operators List, the company is the fourth largest operator of self-storage facilities in the United States.

Iraq: Turnout in Sunni vote shows many stayed home

BAGHDAD (AP) ? Many Iraqis stayed home for delayed elections in two restive Sunni-dominated provinces, with half of the eligible voters participating in one and even fewer casting ballots in the other, election officials said Friday.

Much of Iraq voted for provincial council members on April 20 in the country's first election since the U.S. military withdrawal. But officials delayed elections in Anbar and Ninevah provinces until Thursday because of what they said were security concerns.

Independent High Electoral Commission member Muqdad al-Shuraifi said Friday that 50 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the western province of Anbar ? roughly in line with the national average turnout. Only 38 percent voted in the northern province of Ninevah.

Electoral officials have said the overall turnout for the April vote was 51 percent ? the same as during the last provincial elections in 2009.

"We consider the turnout good considering the general situation in these two provinces," IHEC spokesman Safaa al-Moussawi said.

Anbar and Ninevah have seen some of the largest rallies in a months-long wave of Sunni anti-government protests. They also have faced repeated attacks by militants, mainly directed at security forces, election candidates and government officials.

Officials were unable to provide provincial-level turnout figures for the last provincial elections in 2009.

Thursday's elections, like those in the past, were held amid tight security. Thousands of policemen and soldiers were deployed to secure the elections, and authorities imposed a vehicle ban in major cities in the two provinces to protect against car bombings.

The vote itself was relatively calm, with one person reported killed and three wounded in a mortar attack in in Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar, 115 kilometers (70 miles) west of Baghdad.

But after polls closed, a suicide bomber was able to enter the main ballot-counting center in Ramadi and blow himself up. That attack killed seven and wounded eight, according to security and hospital officials in Anbar.

The violence continued Friday. A bomb left in a major commercial street in the neighborhood of Dora in southern Baghdad exploded Friday afternoon, killing two people and wounding nine, according to police. The force of the blast damaged several shops in the area.

Hospital officials confirmed the casualty numbers. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the details.

Iraq is weathering its worst spike in violence in half a decade, with nearly 2,000 people killed since the start of April. Much of the violence is the work of the Sunni extremist al-Qaida branch in Iraq, which seeks to undermine support for the Shiite-led government in Iraq.

Facebook Finally Gets Hashtags

Facebook Finally Gets Hashtags

Facebook now has hashtags. #copycats #upyourstwitter #noonereallycares

The social network wants to make it easier for users to find content already on Facebook, and functional hashtags are the first step. According to Facebook, many users already post hashtags anyway, so why not make them work? Hashtags will be both clickable and searchable, so, for example, topics like #NSALeaks or #NBAFinals will now exist.

Ethan Hawke to play 'Macbeth' on Broadway

NEW YORK (AP) ? The Scottish play isn't taking much of a break before coming back. Ethan Hawke plans to return to Broadway this winter to play the title role in "Macbeth."

The Shakespeare tragedy will mark a reunion for Hawke with director Jack O'Brien at Lincoln Center Theater, where he starred in "Henry IV" and "The Coast of Utopia," for which he was nominated for a Tony Award.

Hawke is currently starring in the horror film "The Purge" and the romantic drama "Before Midnight," the third film in a series with "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset."

"Macbeth" had its latest incarnation on Broadway in a one-man show by Alan Cumming, which is set to close in July. Patrick Stewart led another cast in 2008.

For those who can't wait, a "Macbeth" starring Kenneth Branagh and Alex Kingston will be broadcast to movie theaters across the country from Manchester International Festival as part of National Theatre Live this July.

Performances of Hawke's "Macbeth" begin Oct. 24. The show is one of four that Lincoln Center Theater announced Thursday for the upcoming season, including the new Bruce Norris play "Domesticated" directed by Anna D. Shapiro and starring Laurie Metcalf.

James Lapine will direct his own adaptation of Moss Hart's autobiography "Act One" and Doug Hughes will direct the world premiere of The City of Conversation, a new play by Anthony Giardina.
