7/24/2016 | Wilson benefits from midseason rest
When Tigers general manager Al Avila praised manager Brad Ausmus on Saturday for his work this season, his key example was bullpen management. It wasn't simply about managing veteran closer Francisco Rodriguez or the setup men Avila signed to help him, but guys like Alex Wilson, last year's do-everything reliever who has struggled for much of this season.
7/24/2016 | White Sox get quick resolution on Eaton's walk-off
Neither a suspended game, a taxed bullpen or a suspension of starter Chris Sale could thwart the White Sox from tormenting the Tigers.

7/24/2016 | Tough day in Chicago takes its toll on Tigers

After allowing five runs on eight hits over three innings in his Red Sox debut on Wednesday against the Giants, left-hander Drew Pomeranz will take the hill again at Fenway Park on Monday in the series opener against Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander, who is 2-0 with a 1.63 ERA in July.
7/24/2016 | Tigers-Sox have unfinished business before finale
After Chris Sale was scratched from Saturday's start, due to a pregame clubhouse incident, Jose Quintana is scheduled to stay on turn and start for the White Sox in the series finale against the Tigers on Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field. But first, the Sox and Tigers will have to complete Saturday's game, which was suspended by rain after the eighth inning with the clubs tied at 3. The finale will begin shortly after the completion of the suspended game, which is scheduled to start at 2:10 p.m. ET/1:10 CT.
7/24/2016 | Tigers-White Sox suspended after 8 innings
A Tigers-White Sox tilt Saturday that began with Chris Sale being sent home for a clubhouse incident and continued through rain delays ended without a result. A third rain delay suspended play after eight innings with a 3-3 score.
7/23/2016 | Tigers' GM gives Ausmus vote of confidence
Tigers general manager Al Avila said Saturday he believes they have the team to get into the postseason. He also said he believes they have the manager to lead the way.
7/23/2016 | Avila expects Tigers to stand pat at Deadline
General manager Al Avila reiterated what he said when the Tigers were in Chicago last month: He does not expect to make a big move, buying or selling at the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline. He expects the Tigers to stand pat.

7/22/2016 | Tigers catching tandem offers differing styles
There are no personal catchers on the Tigers, but there are personal styles catchers bring behind the plate with them -- some by preference, some by experience level, as evidenced by Detroit catchers Jarrod Saltalamacchia and James McCann.
7/22/2016 | Cabrera surpasses 1,500 career RBIs in win
Miguel Cabrera had four hits and knocked in the go-ahead runs on Friday against the White Sox. He surpassed the 1,500 RBI plateau in doing so.
7/22/2016 | Cabrera's four-hit night tops White Sox
Miguel Cabrera had four hits and knocked in two runs in the seventh inning to break a tie, leading the Tigers to victory over the White Sox. Justin Morneau gave Chicago a lift with a three-run home run, but the White Sox bullpen couldn't hold the lead.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The Texas A&M Aggies welcome Houston South Select of the Women's Premier Soccer League to the friendly confines of Ellis Field on Wednesday at 8 pm as the Maroon and White begin the spring schedule. The game was originally scheduled for March 2, but was postponed due to inclement weather.
The contest will be free to spectators. Free parking will also be available for fans wishing to attend the exhibition.
Texas A&M returns 18 letterwinners from the 2013 campaign, including 10 of 11 starters. The returnees account for 54 of the Aggies' 56 goals from last season. Texas A&M welcomes back All-Americans Shea Groom and Meghan Streight, along with fellow All-SEC performers Jordan Day, Leigh Edwards and Kelley Monogue. All three newcomers, Mikaela Harvey, Stephanie Malherbe and Haley Pounds are expected to suit up for the Aggies.
The South Select club is coached by David DeVerteuil who was formerly a member of the South Texas U23 State Select team as well as the 2008 USASA Region III Coach of the Year. David Abramowitz, a graduate of A&M and former intern with the soccer program serves as assistant coach.
The Maroon and White finished the 2013 season ranked No. 8 in the NSCAA Coaches Poll. A&M posted an 18-5-2 record for the year, claimed their first-ever SEC regular-season title with a 9-2-0 league ledger and captured an SEC Tournament crown. The Aggies appeared in their 19th consecutive NCAA Division I Championship, advanced to the Second Round for the 16th consecutive year and appeared in the Sweet 16 for the 12th time in program history.

Easy Strawberry Shortcake
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 12 mins
This recipe came from the side of a Bisquick box. The shortcakes are so good and you can eat on them for days, if they last that long.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄3 cups original Bisquick baking mix
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
- sweetened sliced strawberry
- whipped topping or whipped cream
- Heat oven to 425°F.
- Stir Bisquick mix, milk, sugar and butter until soft dough forms. Drop by 6 spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Split warm shortcakes; fill and top with strawberries and whipped topping. (Sweeten strawberries before making shortcakes so sugar has time to dissolve; for each quart of sliced strawberries, stir in 1/2 cup sugar.).
Most Helpful
Very tasty and exactly what I was looking for from our Boston times.
Easy, quick and delicious! What could be better? This recipe is definitely a keeper. These took longer to bake than the recipe indicated, I baked mine for about 16-18 minutes, and they were only getting golden brown on the edges, not all the way across the top. I was afraid of overbaking them. I think this would be good with other fruit too, like peaches or other berries.
When I want strawberry shortcake, this is my go to recipe for the shortcake. My mother always used Bisquick to make her shortcake, and for me, this is the best! I mean, whose going to argue with Mom?

Featuring (I suppose) the first gang shave-bang in adult history, I still get the disquieting sense of reality of watching a series sink slowly in the west. This installment is built around Cassie's big dream sequence in which she gets jumped by Sharon Kane, Shawn Michael and Andrew Michaels while she awaits a delivery from the pizza man. It's a no-holds barred scene, but that's it for the feature save for some additional point and shoot sex scenes to fill out the running time. Nice box cover.

CBS News has no plans to outsource any of its newsgathering operations to CNN, a CBS News spokesperson said.
"We are extremely satisfied with and proud of our newsgathering operation. No outside arrangement is being negotiated," the spokesperson said.
CBS News issued the statement in response to a story in the New York Times that reported CBS has been discussing a deal to outsource some of its newsgathering operations to CNN.
The newspaper, citing two unidentified executives as sources, said the talks involved cutting CBS' news operations while retaining prominent figures like CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric.
The Times said that over the past decade, CNN had held talks with CBS News and ABC News about possible joint ventures.

The filmmakers behind a forthcoming documentary describe New Delhi's Kathputli Colony as a "tinsel slum": For decades, it has been home to a community of traditionally itinerant performers — puppeteers, acrobats, magicians and fire-breathers. Foreigners might call them artists; but in India, says photographer Joshua Cogan, they're still considered to be a lower caste of vagrants.
Cogan is the director of photography for the film Tomorrow We Disappear. The still photos he took during film production will be on display starting today in Washington, D.C., for the city's FotoWeek.
He and his team (Jim Goldblum and Adam Weber) were inspired to pursue the story, Cogan explains, when they read about a resettlement agreement, in which the Kathputli Colony's centrally located land was bought out to build a skyscraper. The film explores what the change might mean for the people who live there — and for their traditions. (For literary buffs, the "magician's ghetto" was fictionalized in Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children.)
"I didn't want to make it like a sob story," Cogan says. "In some ways it's like a dark fairy tale." His images of the Kathputli community aren't overwrought with sentiment; conclusions are left for the viewer to make.
In a way, the project reflects aspects of Cogan's own life. Just this year, his art studio — what he described as one of the only "underground arts communities" in Washington, D.C. — was bought out for condo development. In his words, no matter where you are, "the pressures of trying to make a living as an artist are very difficult."
The story also pivots around an age-old tension between preserving tradition and embracing change.
"You have a couple people that try to take the art forms and move them forward, especially the puppetry," says Cogan. "But the problem is that on the streets, no one has the time to watch the stuff anymore. There's 3-D Bollywood movies."
While Cogan focused on a slum in Delhi, the same can be said of many developing urban areas. Perhaps that's just how it goes, though. Do cultures die? Or do they just evolve over time?
"In India they literally have, like, a thousand years of tradition being crushed right now," Cogan says. "It's tough not to get trapped in the nostalgia. It probably serves an important purpose, but it's sort of like a pathology, too.
"The truth is, it's very hard to help somebody."

Darryl Webb, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Easy for them to say: Cut spending, no matter what. Don't let the government borrow any more. Shut it down if you have to. While the cast of potential White House contenders tells Congress to get tough, drawing lines in the sand is risky for lawmakers who have to live with the consequences.
Many remember what happened more than two years ago when House conservatives bolted from their Republican president and leadership to defeat a $700 billion rescue bill for the nation's financial system. The Dow Jones industrials plunged 777 points, the most ever for a single day. Lawmakers had second thoughts, and four days later 58 of them, including 25 Republicans, switched sides to pass it.
Many Republicans paid a huge political price, losing re-election last year as furious tea partyers made how lawmakers voted on the bank bailout the single biggest litmus test of their conservatism.
However dangerous such brinksmanship is for lawmakers — and the country — it offers White House hopefuls the opportunity to criticize Washington spending while portraying themselves as the commonsense alternatives.
"We had a partial government shutdown in Minnesota and the world didn't come to an end," former Gov. Tim Pawlenty said in a recent interview. "And so you don't want to have that be your goal. But sometimes . when it's appropriate and you're standing on the right principles, there needs to be strong conviction and sometimes a showdown."
Other would-be White House contenders are railing against a Congress poised to pile on new debt, calling it irresponsible and a symptom of an out-of-touch Washington. As they watch, leaders of the two parties accuse each other of trying to bring about a government shutdown that they can then blame on one another.
"The shutdown's not good for anybody," former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said in an interview. "I think the shutdown . needs to be viewed as getting the attention of the powers that be that America and the American people are done with government just playing the gimmicks of accounting and spending more money and saying 'we didn't have a choice.'
"By gosh, you've got a choice. Make the choice," Huckabee intones. "Draw a line in the sand. For once in your lives, show that you've got the political cojones to stand up and be counted."
The federal government, now borrowing more than 40 cents of every dollar it spends, will reach its debt limit this spring, necessitating Congress to approve a bigger credit line to cover spending already approved. Both President Barack Obama and GOP House Speaker John Boehner have urged raising the debt limit, but some Republicans want to use the threat of a failed vote to demand future spending cuts.
"To me, the debt ceiling is a tool," Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said. "This is a tool to get spending cuts and to make the left and anyone else understand the debt ceiling is going to go up when we have a plan that puts us on a path . that starts making the cuts."
Without the increase to the debt limit, the government would be in a position to default on its financial obligations, stop paying for some programs and send the global economy into a free fall. The specter of an unchanged debt ceiling is also a pressure point for Republicans looking to cut spending.
"There are a lot of people, though, who are saying, 'Shut her down, if that's what it takes,'" said former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. "Let it be for a week or two there, this message that is sent to our politicians who are so tone deaf to what the people of America are saying."
Calling for balanced budgets and cuts is easy for most of the field. Most are former governors who had to balance their budgets by law; only Barbour remains in office. Rep. Michele Bachmann, a tea party favorite, is the only Washington incumbent seriously weighing a bid and she is on board to force cuts.

UK helped Israel get nuclear bombBreaking News
Israel's acquisition of nuclear bombs has been one of the most sustained pieces of deceit in recent history. The project was guarded with such passion that in the 1980s the technician Mordechai Vanunu was kidnapped and spent 11 years in solitary confinement for blowing some of its secrets. It is remarkable then, that documents lying unnoticed in the public records office at Kew should reveal Britain's hitherto unknown role 47 years ago in deceiving the US and supplying Israel with the means to go nuclear. The main files on the subject, from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, are still classified. But BBC Newsnight producer Meirion Jones says he found a handful of key copies in a routinely declassified but obscure Foreign Office counter-proliferation archive. Apart from a passing mention of a British connection in 1998 by Israeli academic Avner Cohen, the UK's key role seems to have been completely unknown to historians. What the documents still fail to reveal, however, is how high up in the Macmillan government the decision was taken to go behind the back of President Eisenhower and load 20 tons of heavy water from Britain on to Israeli ships, thus enabling Israel to start up its Dimona reactor.

Given the horrendous record of conservative Brits during the Mandate period, and then the Labor Party after their victory and during the period immediately following the war of independence, I find this news (if it is accurate) to be a welcome development.

I don't know what scalar means exactly, but I'm trying to see if I'm thinking about it correctly. Does scalar relate to arbitrariness where the type of data could be any type, or a system is not able to know what the data is in advance.

The term "scalar" comes from linear algebra, where it is used to differentiate a single number from a vector or matrix. The meaning in computing is similar. It distinguishes a single value like an integer or float from a data structure like an array. This distinction is very prominent in Perl, where the
A Scalar is simply a variable that holds an individual value. For purposes of this discussion, let's assume that a scalar is a single number, rather than a collection of numbers.
For example the result of a SQL query that returns a number instead of a tuple, as does the ExecuteScalar() method in the SQLCommand class, which returns the value of the first column of the first row in the result set returned by the query. It's typically used to retrieve an aggregate value such as a COUNT or AVERAGE, the ID of a new record, or the number of records processed by a query.
A supplemental mnemonic, to Karl Bielefeldt's great answer:
A simple way of thinking about it, is "can this be on a scale?"
An integer can be on a scale.
A fixed-size integer can be on a scale, e.g. from -2147483648 to 2147483647.
A real number can be on a scale.
A character, boolean, or fixed-precision decimal can all be on a scale. Even a string can be on a scale (we use such in sorting).
Hence "scalar".
A database row cannot be on a scale. A complex number cannot be on a scale. An object representing an email message cannot be on a scale. An array, vector or matrix cannot be on a scale.
A scalar is a simple single numeric value (as in 1, 2/3, 3.14, etc.), usually integer, fixed point, or float (single or double), as opposed to an array, structure, object, complex vector (real plus imaginary or magnitude plus angle components), higher dimensional vector or matrix (etc.) data type that contains more than one single numeric value.
However, note that a large very complex data type of the sort that can also be represent in 8-bit bytes of computer memory can also be represented as one single very long/large binary scalar number. Turing used this technique to represent entire computer programs as just one scalar number.
As is the case with many terms in computing; the origin of the word relates to more physical properties. The term Scalar is relatively old in computing. Its definition is less strict these days. When you store data in computer memory this data can either fit in one address (1 byte*) or not. When it did, it was called scalar, when it didn't it was called a composite. Mainly because CPUs could only handle one address/piece of data (= 1 byte) at a time. As stated by @Karl Bielefeldt; the term was indeed taken from algebra.
We call a string a string because it is a string of chars. A char is/was a scalar, while a string is/was a composite. Storing 1 piece of data (a datum) in multiple addresses blurred the line somewhat. Think of it like this: When a CPU could process a datum in one instruction, it was scalar.
These days a scalar is any singular value, and what a singular value is may be defined differently amongst different languages. integers, floats, chars, strings, booleans and enums are -for the most part- considered scalars these days. Arrays, lists, trees, objects, etc. are not.
(* I say 1 byte to keep things clear, but technically I am talking about the days when 6 bits were more commonly used on punch cards for example and later on magnetic strips)
Disclaimer: I am unable to find any references of this on the internet, I got the information at school and from old books, amongst which (I think): Mathematical Tables and other Aids to Computation from 1944. That being said, my memory is not what it used to be, so if anyone can amend/confirm or deny my answer, it would be nice.
A Scalar is a variable that holds an individual value.
For example:
Scalar Variable: Say that you are trying to represent the names of various students as a set of variables. Each of the individual variables is a scalar variable as follow
Scalar Functions: SQL scalar functions return a single value, based on the input value.

Hi there,
I'm a developer and have done 2 themes for one of my clients. I'm unable to get the theme switcher to work (for the comments page, it reverts back to default theme) for her. She's a personal (not commercial) blog client, so my b udget isn't huge, but I'm willing to pay for someone to help.
Quick FYI: I'm using Ryan's theme switcher. Also, her files are located at domainname.com/wordpress but we have the blog rerouted through header modifications to domainname.com. I have a feeling this is causing some cookie issues.
Feel free to email reese AT m2webstudios.com.

G Dr. Suguna Yesodharan https://dyuthi.cusat.ac.in:443/xmlui/handle/purl/5058 2016-05-08T20:30:37Z 2015-11-01T00:00:00Z Sono, Photo and Sonophoto Catalytic Removal of Chemical and Bacterial Pollutants from Wastewater Anju, S. G; Dr. Suguna Yesodharan The term 'water pollution' broadly refers to the contamination of water and water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, groundwater etc). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove the harmful contaminants. This affects not only the plants and organisms living in these bodies of water but also the entire natural biological communities and the biodiversity.Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have been tested as environment-friendly techniques for the treatment of contaminated water, in view of their ability to convert pollutants into harmless end products. These techniques refer to a set of treatment procedures designed to remove organic or inorganic contaminants in wastewater by oxidation. The contaminants are oxidized by different reagents such as air, oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide which are introduced in precise, preprogrammed dosages, sequences and combinations under appropriate conditions. The procedure when combined with light in presence of catalyst is known as photocatalysis. When ultrasound (US) is used as the energy source, the process is referred as sonication. Sonication in presence of catalyst is referred as sonocatalysis. Of late, combination of light and sound as energy sources has been tested for the decontamination of wastewater in the presence of suitable catalyst. In this case, the process is referred as sonophotocatalysis. These AOPs are specially advantageous in pollution control and waste water treatment because unlike many other technologies, they do not just transfer the pollutant from one phase to another but completely degrade them into innocuous substances such as CO2 and H2O. 2015-11-01T00:00:00Z Occurrence of filamentous algae and soil characteristics in the paddy fields of Kuttanad and Kole lands of Kerala Smitha, Sebastian Ammini, Joseph https://dyuthi.cusat.ac.in:443/xmlui/handle/purl/5010 2015-12-01T20:30:32Z 2015-05-01T00:00:00Z Occurrence of filamentous algae and soil characteristics in the paddy fields of Kuttanad and Kole lands of Kerala Smitha, Sebastian; Ammini, Joseph The present work is the study of filamentous algae in the paddy fields of Kuttanad and Kole lands of Kerala. This investigation was initiated by sampling of filamentous algae in Kuttanad during December 2010 to February 2011. A second phase of sampling was done from November 2011 to February 2012. The sampling periodicity corresponded to the crop growth starting from field preparation through sowing, and continued till the harvest. Sampling locations were selected from the active paddy cultivation regions of the six agronomic zones of Kuttanad. The numbers of sampling locations were proportional to the area of each zone. Algae of the Kole lands were collected during from October 2011 to January 2012. It was observed that blue-green algae dominated in both Kuttanad and Kole lands. Thirty two species of blue-green algae and eight species of green algae were identified from Kuttanad. The highest number of algal species was observed from Kayal lands in Kuttanad throughout the cropping season. Among the thirty two species of blue-green algae twenty five species are nonheterocystous and seven species are heterocystous. Twenty eight species of blue-green and six species of green algae were identified from Kole lands, and highest number of species was observed in Palakkal throughout the cropping season. Among the twenty eight species of blue-green algae collected from Kole lands twenty one species are non-heterocystous, and only seven species are heterocystous filamentous algae. Blooms of Spirogyra were observed during the second phase of sampling in Kuttanad and also in the Kole lands. The results of the germination study revealed that the extract of Spirogyra sp. inhibited seed germination and reduced seedling vigour. The growth of the treated seedlings was evaluated by pot experiments. The results clearly showed that Spirogyra sp. can negatively affect the seed germination, seedling vigour, and the yield of rice. 2015-05-01T00:00:00Z Development and Validation of Bacterial Consortia for Bioremediation of Detritus in Aquaculture Systems Deepesh, V Bright Singh, I S https://dyuthi.cusat.ac.in:443/xmlui/handle/purl/4996 2015-10-15T20:30:34Z 2014-11-01T00:00:00Z Development and Validation of Bacterial Consortia for Bioremediation of Detritus in Aquaculture Systems Deepesh, V; Bright Singh, I S 2014-11-01T00:00:00Z BIOPROCESS OPTIMIZATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PHYTASE FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISOLATE BACILLUS MCCB 242 Sareen Sarah, John Reed, Robert H.

During this process, a potential phytase producer Bacillus MCCB 242 was isolated and characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Subsequently, phytase production was optimized, the enzyme purified and characterized and an appropriate downstream process also could be standardized.Precisely, through this work an environmental isolate Bacillus MCCB 242 could be brought out as phytase producer for commercial application. The enzyme production could be optimized and characterized, and an appropriate downstream process standardized. Cytotoxicity studies revealed the enzyme safe for feed application, especially in fish. 2014-12-01T00:00:00Z

2:00 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. (public Q&A session beginning at 3:50 p.m.)
Webinar Address: https://orep.adobeconnect.com/south-carolina/
Webinar Audio: 1.866.918.3362; Passcode: 2044248
May 17, 2016
2:00 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. (public Q&A session beginning at 3:50 p.m.)
Webinar Address: https://orep.adobeconnect.com/south-carolina/
Webinar Audio: 1.866.918.3362; Passcode: 2044248
This webinar will focus on updating Task Force members on the nominations and public input received in response to the "Call for Information and Nominations" and "Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment" that BOEM published in November 2015. BOEM will also provide an update on its decision to realign the North Carolina Wilmington East and West Wind Energy Areas with the South Carolina Planning Process. To access the meeting materials, go to: http://www.boem.gov/Fifth-South-Carolina-Task-Force-Meeting/.
The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act requires BOEM to award renewable energy leases competitively, unless BOEM determines there is no competitive interest. So, on Nov. 23, 2015, BOEM published a Call for Information and Nominations (Call) in the Federal Register (under Docket ID: BOEM-2015-0134) for a 60-day public comment period to gauge the offshore wind industry's interest in acquiring commercial wind leases in four areas offshore South Carolina and to request comments regarding site conditions, resources and other uses within the Call areas. The comment period ended on Jan. 25, 2016. Materials related to the Call are below.
Environmental Review
In addition to the Call, BOEM published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to Prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) in the Federal Register on Nov. 23, 2015 (under Docket ID: BOEM-2015-0125). Through the NOI, BOEM sought public comment for determining issues and alternatives to be analyzed in the EA. Public comments in response to the NOI can be viewed here. The EA will consider potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts associated with issuing commercial wind leases and approving site assessment activities on the lease areas. The NOI included a 60-day public comment period, which closed on Jan. 25, 2016.
To meet the needs of the offshore renewable energy and marine planning communities, BOEM has worked with the Task Force to develop a map through MarineCadastre.gov, a joint online mapping project of BOEM and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that includes many of the data layers used in the planning process.
Environmental Studies
BOEM has funded or considered numerous studies to collect information about the marine environment to support decisions concerning offshore renewable energy development. For more information, please visit http://www.boem.gov/South-Carolina-Environmental-Studies/.
Public Engagement
BOEM has initiated planning efforts, primarily through the South Carolina Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force, which is made up of representatives from federal, state, local, and tribal governments, to determine whether there is potential for wind energy development on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore South Carolina.

Aussie Dollar Drops on Speculation RBA to Lower Rates
The Australian dollar weakened against most of its major counterparts before a central bank meeting where policy makers are forecast to reduce interest rates for the first time this year.
The Aussie and New Zealand's dollar fell versus their U.S. counterpart and the yen after Spain entered recession for the second time since 2009, fueling concern Europe's debt crisis is worsening, and U.S. economic data were weaker than forecast. The Reserve Bank of Australia will cut its benchmark rate to 4 percent, from 4.25 percent, according to a Bloomberg survey.
"It sounds like we could see a 25 basis-point rate cut," said Joe Manimbo, a market analyst in Washington at Western Union Business Solutions, a unit of Western Union Co. "If the tone of the statement comes across more dovish, that would keep on the table the chance of more easing down the road, so that would pressure the Aussie dollar."
Australia's dollar lost 0.4 percent to $1.0429 yesterday in New York in its first drop in four days. It weakened 1 percent to 83.25 yen. New Zealand's currency, nicknamed the kiwi, fell 0.5 percent to 81.85 U.S. cents in its first decline in four days and dropped 1 percent to 65.32 yen.
The Aussie rose 0.8 percent versus the dollar this month, while its New Zealand counterpart was little changed.
Spain's gross domestic product fell 0.3 percent in the first quarter, the same as in the previous three months, the Madrid-based National Statistics Institute said. From a year ago, GDP slid 0.4 percent, the institute said.
The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago Inc. said its business barometer decreased to 56.2 in April from 62.2 a month earlier. It was the least since November 2009. Economists in a Bloomberg survey forecast a decline to 60. Readings greater than 50 signal growth.
The MSCI World Index of equities fell 0.4 percent yesterday as investor appetite for riskier assets ebbed.

Quick GuideCommon Eye Problems and Infections
Glaucoma medications (eyedrops)
Beta-adrenergic antagonists act against, or block, adrenaline-like substances. These drops work in the treatment of glaucoma by reducing the production of the aqueous humor. For years, they were the gold standard (to which other agents are compared) for treating glaucoma. A few of these medications are timolol (Timoptic), levobunolol (Betagan), carteolol (Ocupress), and (metipranolol (Optipranolol).
Used once or twice daily, these drops are very effective. However, side effects, such as the worsening of asthma or emphysema, bradycardia (slow heart rate), low blood pressure, fatigue, and impotence prohibit their use in some patients. Betaxolol (Betoptic) is a beta-adrenergic antagonist that is more selective in working just on the eye and, therefore, carries less risk of heart (cardiac) or lung (pulmonary) side effects than other drops of this type.
Prostaglandin analogs are similar in chemical structure to the body's prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that are involved in a wide range of functions throughout the body. These drops work in glaucoma by increasing the outflow (drainage) of fluid from the eye.
The prostaglandin analogs have replaced beta blockers as the most commonly prescribed drops for glaucoma. They can be used just once a day. This class of medications has fewer systemic (involving the rest of the body) side effects than beta blockers, but can change the color of the iris as well as thicken and darken the eyelashes. In addition, some atrophy of the fat around the eye may occur. These drops are also more likely to cause redness of the eyes than some other classes of eye drops. In some patients, they may also cause inflammation inside the eye. Examples of these medications include latanoprost (Xalatan), travoprost (Travatan), bimatoprost (Lumigan) and tafluprost (Zioptan).
Adrenergic agonists are a type of drops that act like adrenaline. They work in glaucoma by both reducing the production of fluid by the eye and increasing its outflow (drainage). The most popular adrenergic agonist is brimonidine (Alphagan). However, there is at least a 12% risk of significant local (eye) allergic reactions. Other members of this class of drops include epinephrine, dipivefrin (Propine) and apraclonidine (Iopidine).
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors work in glaucoma by reducing the production of fluid in the eye. Eyedrop forms of this type of medication include dorzolamide (Trusopt) and brinzolamide (Azopt). They are used two or three times daily. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors may also be rarely taken as pills (systemically) to remove fluid from the body, including the eye. Oral forms of these medications used for glaucoma include acetazolamide (Diamox) and methazolamide (Neptazane). Their use in this condition, however, is limited due to their systemic (throughout the body) side effects, including reduction of body potassium, kidney stones, numbness or tingling sensations in the arms and legs, fatigue, and nausea.
Parasympathomimetic agents, which are also called miotics because they narrow (constrict) the pupils, act by opposing adrenalin-like substances. They work in glaucoma by increasing the aqueous outflow from the eye.
The parasympathomimetics were used for many years to treat glaucoma, but because of the appearance of beta blockers and prostaglandins, they are now used infrequently because they need to be used three to four times a day and produce side effects in the eye. These side effects include a small pupil, blurred vision, an aching brow, and an increased risk of retinal detachment. Currently, pilocarpine is used primarily to keep the pupil small in patients with a particular iris configuration (plateau iris) or in patients with a narrow angle prior to laser iridotomy. (See the section above on angle-closure glaucoma.)
Osmotic agents are an additional class of medications used to treat sudden (acute) forms of glaucoma where the eye pressure remains extremely high despite other treatments. These medications include isosorbide (Ismotic, given by mouth) and mannitol (Osmitrol), given through the veins). These medications must be used cautiously as they have significant side effects, including nausea, fluid accumulation in the heart and/or lungs (congestive heart failure and/or pulmonary edema), bleeding in the brain, and kidney problems. Their use is prohibited in patients with uncontrolled diabetes, heart, kidney, or liver problems.
Ophthalmologists often prescribe an eyedrop containing more than one class of drug to patients who require more than one type of drug for control of their glaucoma. This simplifies the taking of drops by the patient. Examples of these include the combination of timolol and dorzolamide in the same drop (Cosopt), the combination of timolol and brimonidine in the same drop (Combigan), and the combination of brinzolamide and brimonidine in the same drop (Simbrinza). Combination drops that include both beta-adrenergic antagonists and prostaglandin analogs are available in Europe and Japan but have not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the US.
Several new classes of glaucoma drops are currently under development or awaiting FDA approval. Although marijuana use has been shown to reduce intraocular pressure, eyedrops are available which accomplish the same purpose with greater efficacy and less systemic risk.

Comments about Copper Foil Sheets, 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" :
We used a copper foil sheet along with a plastic ship mold and created a wonderful Father's Day gift for the Cub Scouts to give to their father's. We used masking tape to hold the mold in place under the copper sheet and took a craft stick and rubbed over the copper until the image appeared. The more you rub the more definition that comes out.

Network virtualization refers to a broad set of technologies. Commercial solutions have been offered by the industry for years, while more recently the academic community has emphasized virtualization as an enabler for network architecture research, deployment, and experimentation. We review the entire spectrum of relevant approaches with the goal of identifying the underlying commonalities. We offer a unifying definition of the term "network virtualization" and examine existing approaches to bring out this unifying perspective. We also discuss a set of challenges and research directions that we expect to come to the forefront as network virtualization technologies proliferate.

CANDIDATE(S) FOR SGA VICE PRESIDENT of LEICESTER
Samantha Snyder
I am currently a freshman here at Becker majoring in Pre-Veterinary Medicine, and will be a sophomore in the fall semester of 2015. I'm from Wilson, Pennsylvania; a small town in Eastern PA. During my fall semester I joined the field hockey team and lambing team; during the spring semester, I have joined BLUE Crew I and have made it into the Alpha Lambda Honor Society. For my fall semester as a sophomore I have been accepted as a Peer Mentor and part of the Campus Activities Board. I hope to make a difference in the Becker College community, which is why I am taking part in many clubs and other organizations. Student Government Association is the next organization I hope to partake in.
As the next SGA Vice President of Leicester, I plan on communicating ideas effectively and in a timely manner between students here at Becker with the rest of the SGA members. I want students to feel comfortable talking to me about any issues they feel need addressing to; I want them to feel confident that I will do my best to help make their college experience here at Becker the best it can be. I plan on making a difference for everyone by contributing my time and ideas to new and old projects that are be thought of and worked on. I am excited to contribute my time to help improve Becker for the student body and gain experience as a leader.
Jake LaMagdeleine
Hi my name is Jake LaMagdeleine I'm currently a freshmen here at Becker College and I am majoring in Communications Design. I am always trying to get involved on campus. I'll be serving on the 2015-2016 C.A.B Executive Board as one of the Special Events Coordinators. I am currently involved with R.H.A (Residence Hall Association) as a Communications Coordinator. I also am currently a Student Ambassador/Tour Guide and will be a New Student Orientation Leader this summer.
CANDIDATE(S) FOR SENIOR CLASS (of 2016) PRESIDENT

It has long been known that for a large number of incoming students at Youngstown State University, the first year of college could well be considered the 13th year of high school. But the extent of the problem has not been clearly defined.
A story in today's Vindicator goes a long way toward giving the public an inside look at what has been happening academically in the Youngstown City School District. Even the star of the system, Youngstown Early College, is falling short when it comes to its graduates being prepared for college.
The story is based on the 2009 report from the Ohio Board of Regents that was released late last year. It shows that 72 percent of Chaney High School graduates, 83 percent of East High School grads and 38 percent of Early College graduates took either developmental math or developmental English in college.
At Youngstown State, nearly 62 percent of first-time undergraduates took at least one developmental course last fall.
But the problem isn't confined to the city school system. Seventy-two percent of Campbell Memorial High grads and 80 percent of Sebring's McKinley High grads took developmental math or English.
Graduates from Canfield, Poland and South Range fared better, but the Ohio Board of Regents' report shows that 32 percent, 40 percent and 39 percent, respectively, needed remediation in college.
The report doesn't include information on remediation for students who attend college either out-of-state or at a private college or university.
"The percentage of students that continue their studies after high school is a positive development, but a large proportion of them are not prepared for college-level work either in mathematics or English," the OBOR study says. "Forty-one percent of those college freshmen enrolled in at least one developmental course in their first year of college."
Another 34 percent enrolled in developmental math courses and 19 percent enrolled in developmental English course, the report found.
A total of 53,000 recent Ohio high school graduates enrolled in Ohio's public colleges and universities in the fall of 2009.
The implications of this situation are enormous. One of the most shocking facts about higher education in Ohio is that the average length of time for earning a bachelor's degree is six years.
There also is the reality that students who aren't prepared for the academic rigors of higher education drop out after the first and second year.
Then, there's the cost.
Attending a four-year institution is more expensive than attending a two-year community college, which is why Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, and his chancellor, Jim Petro, have taken the same position as their predecessors, former Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat, and former Chancellor Eric Fingerhut, namely, that high school students who need remediation should attend two-year institutions.
Youngstown schools Superintendent Connie Hathorn and the board of education have implemented major changes to ensure that learning does take place in the classroom.
Even so, Dr. Hathorn, in reaction to the Ohio Board of Regents' remediation study, says the district needs to work with YSU and other higher education institutions to determine how high schoolers can be better prepared academically for what awaits them.
Ohio's public universities and colleges also have an incentive to ensure that their students perform at an acceptable level. That's because the formula for higher education state funding is based on the retention and graduation rates of the students.
OK, once again, the point is obviously being missed. Not everyone is college material and they learn the lesson the hard way. College is higher education, not job training. It is elitist to believe that everyone should attend college as a certain occupier of 1600 Penn. Ave believes. Now, it is true that many companies want their employees to have a two-year degree so that they have demonstrated some ability to achieve something. But, these need to be obtained a lower-cost community colleges. Why is it that this country has denigrated such positions as mechanic, plumber, mason, etc. Anyone with good skills can live quite well in these positions. Certified welders can make a great living.
That being said, Dr. Hathorn's plan with Chaney needs a few years before it is evaluated. It is a fantastic idea and should pay off. But, it takes a willingly dedicated student to make it work. Students in Y-town would do well to look at Dr. Hathorn as a role model.
Walter_sobchak - I agree with you - however, every high school graduate who wishes to advance in today's job market needs some sort of postsecondary training - whether a certificate program or apprenticeship. Attendance at a two year college to prep for more education is certainly one option - however, there needs to be more of an investment by employers into training programs at the adult and technical career centers - where those who successfully complete will be immediately accepted into jobs. Certainly for several areas, an associate or bachelor's or even master's degree is required. There should be stronger ties between the career programs, community colleges, and four-year instituions, and the employment community to provide the skill set and technology for which employees are needed.
One of the most serious issues with teens today is lack of parental supervision. Many students have too much unsupervised time, thus their education suffers. What can be distressing is hearing our students talk with such broken English and mumbling slang. I hear foreign students today speaking better English than many of our American students. It is shocking to read and interview employment applicants coming out of our schools today. These students are clueless, immature and unfocused.
Walter Sobchak, I agree.
Besides that, this editorial is biased against one school system.
Check out what they DIDN'T say.
These are from a chart in the print version of the paper.
Remediation Rates:
Youngstown Christian 81%
Sebring McKinley 80%
Chaney and Campbell exactly the same.
JFK, Warren, for cripes sake, 62% (Compare that to Youngstown's Early College High School with 38%)
Who knows what other schools are not mentioned at all.
And why are we getting around to talking about a 2009 report now? It's subjects have probably graduated or dropped out by now.
Since 2008, I've gone to quite a few graduations at YSU, and I'm always amazed that the MAJORITY of graduates are in the Business Administration!
Since the 1980s many schools eliminated their "Trade Shop" courses. As a retired truck mechanic, I can see many of my generation retiring, and not enough trained younger people stepping up to fill these spots.
I worked for a large company that wanted some type of post high school training no matter what field compared to the job. When i once got a chance to ask the owner of the company why he told me high school is useless anymore. He figures if you can do two year of collage or a trade school and come out of it with some type of degree that your trainable.
Pretty sad that like him a high school diploma no longer means that you can be taught basic job skills to be a useful employee
