April 21, 2006 - San Francisco Chronicle, Tom Abate, “Talking Tough on Tech; President in Silicon Valley Today to Tout Competitiveness.”
“When President Bush visits Cisco Systems headquarters in San Jose this afternoon he will return to a theme that he first struck in his State of the Union address: America could lose its competitive edge unless it retools math and science education, spends more on basic science, and provides permanent tax credits for private sector research.”

April 18, 2006 - The Washington Post, Valerie Strauss, “Competition Worries Graduate Programs.”
“Looking beyond the statistics, Stewart said, there are plenty of reasons to be concerned [about the future of U.S. graduate education], including international competition modeling itself after the U.S. system -- and getting stronger -- and high dropout rates in some graduate programs.”

April 18, 2006 - The Baltimore Sun, Julie Hirschfeld Davis, “A Push for Competitiveness: Bush Promotes Initiatives Ahead of Chinese Leaders’ Visit to the U.S.”
“President Bush, working to allay public fears about foreign competition, will promote his plan to sharpen America's economic edge during a visit today to a Maryland magnet school. Bush's appearance in Rockville comes two days before he is to meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao amid continuing tensions over trade and China's ascension as a world power.”

April 12, 2006 - Money, “Best Jobs in America.”
"According to Money Magazine and Salary.com, software engineering is the best and “one of the fastest-growing” jobs in America.
