Tests for KetonesSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
A ketone test checks for ketones in your blood or urine. Ketones are substances that are made when the body breaks down fat for energy. Normally, your body gets the energy it needs from glucose (sugar). If your body cannot use glucose for energy—for example, if your body doesn't make or use insulin—ketones are formed. You might also have ketones if you are not eating enough carbohydrates and your body uses fat for energy instead. Your body wants to get rid of ketones through urine.
Ketones are most common in people who have type 1 diabetes. It is an early sign that there is not enough insulin, and blood sugar may be dangerously high. This can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a very serious medical problem.
Blood ketones can be tested using some blood sugar meters. You can test your urine for ketones by using specially prepared tablets or plastic strips.

A Buffalo man who suffered a deep puncture wound in a stabbing late Friday night has been treated and released from Erie County Medical Center, authorities said.
Darrel Gibson told South District police that two unknown men who tried to rob him attacked him at about 11 p.m. at Chicago and Fulton Streets, in the city's Michigan-South Park Avenue area.
Following the stabbing, the two assailants fled east toward the playground area of the nearby Perry public housing complex, police said.

J.C. Tretter is putting the finishing touches on his resume for the most important job interview he'll ever go through.
An Akron High School graduate, Tretter is the lone Western New Yorker among 333 NFL hopefuls who have received an invitation to this week's Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. He's one of just 24 players from a Football Championship Subdivision school to earn an invite after a decorated senior season at Cornell.
In just his second season on the offensive line, Tretter made the All-Ivy League first team as a left tackle, and earned second-team All-American honors on the Associated Press' 2012 FCS team.
"I'm even more excited than you'd expect. I was invited to the Senior Bowl and I ended up getting hurt the day before I was supposed to fly out so I had to miss the game," Tretter said. "This has just been building up for a while now, being able to finally get out there and show athletically what I have to offer. I'm extremely excited."
Tretter broke his nose training last month, so he wasn't able to play in the Senior Bowl, but he still attended and met with about 22 teams, by his own estimation. Scouts from 27 different NFL teams also visited the Cornell campus last season, so it's clear there's significant interest in the 6-foot-4, 307-pounder.
The athleticism Tretter is eager to show this week is a big reason why. In addition to being an All-Western New York honorable mention as a senior defensive lineman in 2008 for Akron, he was also a third-team All-Western New York basketball player for the Tigers.
"When I went to Cornell I was kind of recruited as a general athlete," he said. "They gave me an option of four different positions that I could choose to move to."
Tretter chose tight end, the position his father played in college.
"I thought it would be a good fit, especially with my basketball background," he said. "I thought I'd be a natural at it."
After two so-so seasons at the position, though, the Big Red had a need along the offensive line at left tackle, so Tretter started packing on the pounds before his junior year.
After weighing 235 pounds as a senior at Akron, he played tight end at 250.
"I asked my head coach and the offensive line coach, 'what weight do you want me at this upcoming season for my junior year?' They said 'we want you between 275 and 280.' I said 'just trust me, I'll be there. I'm not going to lose a step,' " Tretter said. "So I just worked out hard, increased the food intake and came in at 276.
"Actually, by the end of my career I had gotten even faster from when I was a tight end to when I put on another 55 pounds and was playing tackle."
Tretter weighs 307 pounds now, with a goal to be 315 by training camp – when he'll take on another new position.
"It looks as if I'll transition again into a guard and most likely a center at the next level," said Tretter, who at 6-4 with 32.25-inch arms is a couple of inches shorter than the ideal NFL tackle. "As you move on in your career, it's less about what position you play and more about staying out there to keep playing the game you love."
To get ready for the combine, Tretter has been training at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. He's also being mentored by Hamburg native Dave Wohlabaugh, who played center for three teams during a nine-year NFL career from 1995-2003.
"He's been kind of teaching me the nuances of coming from tackle. It's a little different. The point of contact is much earlier than when you're playing tackle, but you just gotta get used to it. It's been going really well," Tretter said.
Tretter has been projected as a fourth- or fifth-round draft pick by both the website nfldraftscout.com and CBS Sports draft analyst Rob Rang.
"J.C. Tretter is a great story," said former Cleveland Browns General Manager Phil Savage, who's currently a player personnel executive for the Philadelphia Eagles. "He's got excellent feet. He's a very good athlete."
"I think that's the thing that makes me stand out is my feet, both pass protection and run-blocking wise," Tretter said. "As the game kind of evolves and turns into more of a pass-oriented game, you're going to need the linemen who are able to work well in space. The defensive line is becoming more and more of just freakish athletes, so every team's going to need guys who can equal that. I think the athletic background is huge and that's really put me on the radar."
Tretter and the rest of the offensive linemen work out at the combine Saturday.
Scouts will likely be paying particular attention to Tretter's performance on the bench press, as his strength has been mentioned as a concern by both Savage and Rang, whose scouting report reads in part that Tretter "lacks the strength and use of leverage to anchor against NFL defensive tackles."
Coming from Cornell, Tretter will have to answer questions about the level of competition he faced. Missing the Senior Bowl because of injury was a setback in that regard, leaving the combine and Cornell's pro day March 8 as opportunities to impress would-be employers.
"It's a unique experience because you're a track athlete now and not as much a football player. Really, it's just showing what athleticism you have to offer," Tretter said of the combine. "You'll be compared to everybody else on an equal playing field."
Tretter, who turned 22 last week, is taking online classes while he trains in Florida as he works his way toward graduation in May with a bachelor's degree in industrial labor relations. He carries a 3.4 grade-point average.
"My dad was always the athletic one, and my mom was the academic. You put those two together and you can see why I ended up at a place like Cornell to play football," Tretter said. "It's been a long journey, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I wouldn't change all the steps I've taken, going from quarterback to tight end to offensive line. It kind of makes it a good story and it's really driven me to get better every day."
Tretter met twice with the Buffalo Bills at the Senior Bowl. While it's early in the process, he's imagined what it would be like to have his hometown team call his name on draft day.
"That'd be great. You always want to stay close to home," Tretter said. "My parents [Joe and Cynthia] would be able to go to every game. They never missed a game, home or away, when I was at Cornell, so it'd be great to keep that streak going."

|ALS Scientists Patent Technique To Dramatically Advance Grating-Based Spectroscopy
Watch a video about this topic...
However, a new type of ultra-high diffraction grating recently patented by members of the ALS Experimental Systems Group (ESG), working with colleagues from Berkeley Lab's Center for X-ray Optics, stands to revolutionize the resolution capabilities of soft x-ray spectroscopy. The key to the new technique is the production of a near atomically perfect substrate, using the anisotropic etching of silicon.
"Essentially, we've discovered a way to make atomically perfect gratings," says Howard Padmore, head of ESG. "We're able to make them with very high line density and to make them diffract in high orders, all of which gets us hugely improved resolution and throughput."
The most serious imperfection in traditional gratings is micro- and nano-scale roughness, which in a reflection grating leads to background scattered light. The consequence, which has a large impact on spectroscopy capabilities, is that gratings are largely limited to 2D surface structures. Much higher efficiency and vastly improved resolution can be achieved with 3D periodic gratings, but this requires perfect interfaces and therefore a perfect substrate. The 3D structure is made by deposition of high and low Z alternate layers on the grating substrate, so that imperfections in the substrate are transferred and amplified in subsequent layers. A good 3D grating therefore needs as close to an atomically perfect substrate as possible.
Dmitriy Voronov, an ESG scientist involved in the development of the new grating technique, created the patentable, atomically perfect grating by using a perfectly suited substrate material: silicon. Since silicon etches in alkali solutions roughly 1000 times faster in some directions than others, a crystalline silicon grating can be created by cutting the crystal so that the slow etching direction is a few degrees from the surface plane. Etching a lithographically defined pattern results in fast etching along the <111> planes, leaving a perfect sawtooth pattern in the silicon. The residual defects are at the level of 1 atomic plane. This near perfect substrate allows the growth of the 3D grating to the necessary perfection. The result is improved efficiency over today's gratings, with an increase in resolution of up to a factor of 20 for similar conditions.
These new gratings can be applied across a wide range of x-ray science applications. One of the most promising of these is resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS), a spectroscopy technique that measures both the energy and momentum change of a scattered photon. Unlike traditional photoelectron spectroscopy, RIXS gives scientists element-specific data. The current generation of spectrometers doesn't provide the resolution needed to fully exploit RIXS, but a higher resolution, higher efficiency grating would resolve this.
"RIXS is one of the biggest things to happen in x-ray science in the past decade; we need to move from the 100 meV resolution of present instruments to the 5 meV scale of photoemission, and this should be possible using these new techniques" says Padmore.
Voronov says that fabrication of x-ray gratings with the classical ruling technique is quite a slow process — it can take weeks or even months to rule the required number of lines. Moreover, the diamond ruling does not provide superior smoothness of the grooves, which is crucial for 3D gratings. The number of lines and high-order diffraction are key to the technique's effectiveness since they determine the resolution.
"The anisotropic etch technique we use guarantees almost perfect surface finish of the grooves and a slope of groove's facets, enabling high-order operation of a diffraction grating," says Voronov.
"The fact that we can rule these gratings with a very high line density and make them diffract efficiently in a high order means we get higher resolving power," says Padmore.
With a patent in place, Padmore's hope is that a company sees the technique as a worthwhile investment and begins commercial production. Until then, the implementation of these gratings at the ALS and other similar facilities will depend on funding. The next steps at ALS will be the integration of the gratings in a real spectrometer and the validation of this new approach. After 200 years of research and application, much still remains to be done to perfect the diffraction grating, one of the most useful and widely used instruments in physical science.

At the burning tip of a blunt, when it starts to burn down farther on one side than on the rest of the blunt, it is canoeing. This can be fixed by wetting a fingertip with saliva and dampening the burned down end. This is not only with blunts either. This can easily happen with joints and it happens with cigarettes sometimes too.

With regards to the dynamic typing-static typing dichotomy, it is not either-or. It is not only-but also. We want not only the affordances of dynamic typing but also the assurances of static typing. Type inference sorta fakes us out into believing that it provides this, but it's still static typing, and there are limitations to that approach that cannot be worked around until changes to the type system are made.
Java and C# have been around for a while, long enough to where people will grumble if you make too many changes to the language. If it is impossible to make changes to the language without incurring "-1000" penalties, then maybe it's time for a new language (or perhaps an old one whose time hadn't quite yet come...) to step up and pave the way for programming language innovation. Better ways of getting the job done is the goal.

This function queries an interface for an alternate interface that may provide extended functionality or a proprietary extension. If successful, the function will return a pointer to the requested interface in the memory location pointed to by the 'ppif' parameter. The requested interface is identified by a globally unique ID passed to the function in the 'clsid' parameter.
- pif[]:Pointer to the IListModel interface object.
- clsid[]:A globally unique id that identifies the interface to be queried.

AEE_SUCCESS - The requested interface was found and has been returned in the 'ppif' parameter. AEE_ECLASSNOTSUPPORT - The requested interface is not supported.
Side Effect
Upon successful retrieval of an interface pointer, that interface is returned with its reference count incremented. The caller is responsible for releasing this object at some point in the future.
The pointer passed in the 'ppif' parameter is a double-indirection -- i.e. it is a pointer to a pointer. Applications should use care in ensuring that the proper level of indirection is used in calling the function.

The Old Opera House is producing Michael McKeever's hilarious farce "Suite Surrender," in which Claudia McFadden (Holly Legg) and Athena Sinclair (Christine Brewer), longtime rivals in the entertainment industry, have been booked to perform a benefit show for military troops at the Palm Beach Royale and have mistakenly been given the same suite.
"A lot of the humor is mistaken identity and sight gags," Brewer said. "It's hilarious and pure entertainment - nothing heavy."

Meet Otis (Ed Conn), the Bell Hop at the Luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel whose job is to fullfill everybody's little needs.
Adding fuel to the fire, not only does hotel manager Bernard S. Dunlap (David Porterfield) have to deal with trying to keep the two entertainers separate, but Mrs. Everett P. Osgood (Linda Romero), head of the PBLFU (Palm Beach Ladies For Unity) and wife of the president of the board of directors of the hotel, has invited half the U.S. Navy and most of the Marine Corps to the hotel for a little "R and R."
"The show also has a lot of nostalgia for the time and a little romance (between a bellhop and Sinclair's personal secretary Murphy Stevens, played by Kiersten Harris) for Valentine's Day," Romero said.
Also thrown into the mix is Dora del Rio (Katie Kennedy), the local gossip columnist for the Palm Beach Tattler who tries throughout the entire show to get an interview with the two stars. However, instead of getting a face-to-face with the dueling divas, del Rio finds herself in a slapstick mix of physical comedy.
As Dunlap instructs his two most loyal, yet in this case incompetent, bellhops - Francis (John Glymph) and Otis (Ed Conn) - to shuffle Ms. McFadden and her things around Ms. Sinclair and her personal belongings, the merry-go-round effect they have on the audience leads to a show full of laughs.
"It's like the perfect storm that has just come together," said Rick Harner, who plays the role of Pippet, McFadden's personal secretary. "Everyone's trying to please everyone else without knowing about the other."
"It's wonderfully entertaining and really funny," Romero said. "Plus, it's a great ensemble cast."
All of the cast members are well-seasoned in the art of physical comedy with the exception of one. Pee Wee Conn, Ed Conn's 2-year-old, 2.5-pound chihuahua, will be making his debut on the Old Opera House stage as Mr. Boodles, McFadden's pampered pooch.
With all the new people, new smells and bright lights being a little overwhelming for Pee Wee at first, Conn said Pee Wee's a true showman and is handling his new-found celebrity well.
The show promises to keep the audience laughing, Kennedy said.
"It's absolutely funny," she said.
"Wet-your-pants funny," she added with a great laugh.

Hoard's Dairyman Editorial: Maybe a little dirt and bacteria are good for us
Hoard's Dairyman Editorial: Maybe a little dirt and bacteria are good for us
While science has greatly enhanced our ability to improve human health and longevity, Mother Nature has also provided us with many mechanisms to ward off disease. Our zeal to utilize products that kill microbes though might be counterproductive, even detrimental, to developing robust immune systems that are still learning to fight off bad bugs.
A few intriguing investigations support this notion. Two studies of 6,800 and 9,700 European children found that farm kids are less likely to develop asthma and other immune-based diseases. In both cases, researchers found germs on farms were beneficial to reducing allergies among farm children when compared to their city cousins, as reported in the scientific journal New England Journal of Medicine.
The research teams involved believe the variety of germs on farms could have many positive effects on our body's immune function. It is possible that the "good" microbes beat out "bad" ones, or they may teach our body's immune system how to best defend itself.
In a just-released study, Spanish researchers reconfirmed that beneficial bacteria help us much sooner in life. It is a concept that was well-documented in W.D. Hoard's time and continues to be the most important factor to successfully raising newborn calves — colostrum. However, this Spanish-led research effort focused on human breast milk, not cow's milk.
Their study was one of the first to document through DNA sequencing the vast biodiversity found in breast milk, be it colostrum or even after six months of breast-feeding. In fact, researchers pinpointed more than 700 species of bacteria. That bacterial flora most certainly performs a biological role in newborns, concluded a report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Modern science is rediscovering what we learned centuries ago: exposure to organisms in everyday life can be beneficial for us. In 1796, Edward Jenner, an English physician, used folk knowledge and science to confirm positive interactions between the environment and human immune function. In his research, Jenner confirmed that dairymaids who milked cows afflicted with cowpox also developed immunity to the dreaded smallpox virus.
We are still learning about the breadth of interactions that improve human immune function as we grow and develop. However, it appears some of them can only occur if we don't place our children in aseptic bubbles devoid of a little bit of dirt and beneficial microbes.

Boca Raton, Fla. -- Stetson opened the 2014 season with bang Friday, posting a 3-2 victory over McNeese State and a 3-0 win over Bethune-Cookman at the FAU Invitational in Boca Raton, Fla.
The Hatters are off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 1996.
Kristina Hernandez made her Stetson indoor coaching debut on Friday and was pleased with her team's performance.
"We had some really good moments and some lows, which are expected I think on the first day," Hernandez said. "Overall, we saw a lot of really good things from a lot of people today, which is encouraging."
Against McNeese State, Stetson trailed 2-1 after three sets but won the fourth set 25-22 to force a decisive fifth game. Both teams traded points early in the final frame but a quick 2-0 run at the changeover gave the Hatters a lead they would not relinquish. With a 14-12 advantage late, Madison Akins put down a kill seal the victory.
"We just asked them to be more aggressive," Hernandez said about her team's comeback. "We saw them being a little bit tentative and trying to control their swings a little bit more and control the serves. We really have just been asking them to be aggressive every play. They got very comfortable in doing that the last two sets and those were our highest two hitting numbers. Being aggressive, taking risks offensively and spreading the offense is going to be a big key to our success this season."
Akins finished with a career-high 16 kills, with 11 of those coming in the final two sets. She had six kills on 11 attempts in the fourth set and five kills on 10 attempts in the fifth set.
"Maddie had a great first game against McNeese," Hernandez said. "She was extremely strong in scoring out of the front row and the back row, and she took on her role as a leader.
Cailyn Prewitt (12 kills), Erika White (11), and McKenna Foster (10) also posted double-figure kill totals.
"Cailyn did really well for us on the outside. Erika was connecting with the setters and was really efficient on the slides. She also had a great blocking day for us."
Kayla Weller recorded a double-double with 48 assists and 11 digs. Alexa Drost picked up 16 digs while Michelle Kastner added 10 digs.
White led a strong game at the net with a career-high eight block assists. Prewitt assisted on five blocks while Shelby Connors, Akins, and Weller collected three blocks apiece. As a team, the Hatters recorded 13 total blocks.
"We saw a lot of good things on the blocking end that we haven't necessary seen during practice that we were really happy with today," Hernandez said.
Stetson outhit McNeese State (0-1) .175 to .133.
The Hatters hit a slightly higher .202 against Bethune-Cookman (0-2) en route to the 25-20, 25-19, 25-22 win. Prewitt led the offense with 10 kills, while Foster tallied seven kills and Akins added six. Weller recorded 24 assists and Kastner picked up nine digs.
Stetson will play host Florida Atlantic for the tournament championship at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Game Notes: Stetson hit .400 over the final two sets vs. McNeese (25-5-50) ... Kayla Weller recorded her 10th career double-double ... Erika White's eight blocks was one shy of tying the school record (rally scoring era) ... Stetson recorded 13 or more blocks only once last season (15 vs. USC Upstate, Nov. 1) ... Stetson staved off one set point in game two ... McNeese survived four set points in the first set and five set points in the second set ... Redshirt freshman McKenna Foster had 10 kills and nine digs in her Stetson debut (vs. McNeese) ... Shelby Connors, Alexis Villa, and Abby Boll also made their Hatter debuts on Friday.

Three Cheektowaga men have been charged in a wave of suburban burglaries since October, the Amherst Police Department announced Monday.
The men are suspected in a dozen burglaries in Amherst and two dozen more in Clarence, Cheektowaga and other towns across Erie County, mainly at small local businesses and mostly involving only money. But they could be implicated in even more crimes after investigators at various police agencies meet today to sort out and compare the information they have gathered.
"This is big for us," said Detective Lt. Rick Walter of the Amherst Police Department, who supervised the investigation.
Amherst police have charged Kevin Zimmerman, 23; his brother, Jeffrey Zimmerman, 29; and Alfred Tatman, 26, all of Ellen Drive in Cheektowaga.
The three men used the stolen money to support their heroin addictions, police said.
"This is about heroin," Walter said. "They were breaking into these places at night, mainly small businesses, and went for the petty cash. They used the money to fuel their heroin habits."
In Amherst, their loot ranged from as little as $10 at one business to $3,000 at another, Walter said.
Most of the break-ins happened at closed businesses during the night, but two Amherst burglaries occurred at residences.
The men would pry open or kick in the back doors to gain entry, police said.
An important break in the case came when Amherst Police Officer Julian Chinana noticed a suspicious vehicle near a business as he was responding to another call at about 5 a.m. Chinana took note of the vehicle's license plate, Walter said.
Shortly afterward, when the business owner discovered the business had been burglarized, Chinana had the license plate number of the suspicious car to give to investigators.
Walter said the "old-fashioned police work" resulted in the investigation expanding into neighboring towns.
Before Chinana's observation, police had no description of any vehicle connected to the burglaries.
"With that information, we were able to run with it," Walter said.
Amherst Detectives Robert Cunningham and Terrence Walsh developed more information based on the vehicle, compared notes with investigators from other agencies and tied the three suspects to that vehicle, Walter said.
Police called the burglary spree one of the most intense they have seen in such a short time, from mid-October through December.
"We're talking about 37 burglaries that we know of," Walter said.
The suspects left little evidence and usually took only money, but three handguns and two long guns also were stolen.
"Whatever they stole, including guns, was used to buy or trade for heroin," Walter said. "It all comes back to heroin."
Amherst police plan to meet today with investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the State Police; the Erie County Sheriff's Office; and Cheektowaga and West Seneca police.
Charges in addition to the Amherst burglary counts could follow the meeting. Also, there may be another arrest, investigators said.
Besides the Amherst burglaries, the three are suspected in burglaries in Akron, Alden, Cheektowaga, Clarence, Newstead and West Seneca, Amherst police said.
Amherst Town Justice Geoffrey Klein, who authorized search warrants, arraigned Jeffrey Zimmerman and set bail at $25,000. Tatman is making arrangements to surrender to Amherst police this week.
Cheektowaga police previously arrested Kevin Zimmerman on an attempted-burglary charge, and he remains in their custody.

|Laser Seeding Yields High-Power Coherent Terahertz Radiation
Researchers at Berkeley Lab have been exploring the ways coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is generated in electron storage rings when femtosecond lasers are used to carve out ultrafast x-ray pulses by femtoslicing (see "Tailored Terahertz Pulses from a Laser-Modulated Electron Beam"). In their most recent work, the researchers reported the first observation of seeding an instability of the electron beam by the laser, and they presented a physical model that shows how this occurs under the proper conditions. Such a mechanism makes it possible to control the instability onset and to exploit its gain for the generation of pulses of terahertz CSR of unprecedented power. Terahertz radiation with a wavelength from about 1 cm to about 100 microns between the microwave and the infrared would provide access to a large number of fundamental phenomena. To mention only some of them: excited electrons orbit, small molecules rotate, proteins vibrate, superconducting energy gaps resonate, and gaseous and solid-state plasmas oscillate at terahertz frequencies. But generating terahertz radiation is ordinarily a challenging task for any kind of source, including storage-ring-based synchrotron light sources. The new findings by the ALS group could represent a significant step toward satisfying the need for powerful terahertz sources.
In a storage ring, as in linac-based free-electron lasers (FELs), the electromagnetic field associated with the synchrotron radiation emitted by a bunch passing through an insertion device and/or a bending magnet interacts with the electrons in the same bunch, modulating their energy. Above a threshold current (number of electrons per bunch) in storage rings, the intensity becomes strong enough to exponentially amplify modulations in the bunch distribution, resulting in an effect known as the microbunching instability (MBI). Such density modulations have characteristic lengths smaller or comparable to typical terahertz radiation wavelengths and thus radiate powerful CSR pulses in that frequency range.
The FEL gain described above can amplify either small fluctuations (i.e., noise) in the electron-beam density or a small modulation in the density induced by interaction with a laser beam. The second process is referred to as laser seeding. Until now, the MBI was always observed in storage rings as a stochastic process starting from noise and associated with the emission of powerful CSR bursts with random repetition rates and large fluctuations in amplitude. But experiments performed at ALS Beamline 1.4.3 now show that by laser-inducing a modulation on the electron bunch above the MBI current threshold, it is possible to seed the instability in a controlled way. In this case, the CSR bursts become synchronous with the modulating laser, and the instability gain can be exploited for generating high-power terahertz CSR pulses.
The researchers then showed that their observations can be explained in the framework of the MBI theory. Quantitative comparison of the model with the ALS data showed good agreement up to currents of about 19 mA, thus indicating that the model can account for the CSR power growth. At higher currents, a saturation effect takes control as the MBI goes into a nonlinear regime where the theory breaks down.
The laser-seeding phenomenon could be the basis for a THz source. Pump–probe and other experiments not requiring shot-to-shot intensity stability could benefit from the several-orders-of-magnitude increase in power that the seeded MBI offers. In a more speculative scenario, a fraction of the THz signal can be brought back into the ring to co-propagate in an insertion device or in a bending magnet with a subsequent electron bunch, modulating its energy and seeding the MBI that generates a new burst that is then used in the loop for seeding a fresh bunch. By this process, one can in principle bring the CSR emission to a stable high-power saturation regime where all the bunches radiate coherently.

Josue D. Ortiz has spent six years in prison for the gruesome murder of two brothers gunned down inside their West Side apartment.
The arraignment Thursday of a gang leader and two others in those same killings is raising questions about Ortiz's role and the possibility that he was wrongfully convicted in the double murder of Nelson and Miguel Camacho.
Federal prosecutors charged 7th Street Gang leader Efrain "Cheko" Hidalgo, Misael "Bori" Montalvo and Brandon Jonas with killing the Camachos on the evening of Nov. 11, 2004, inside their Niagara Street apartment.
The three defendants are accused of shooting Nelson, 36, and Miguel Camacho, 25, as part of a robbery attempt.
The new federal indictment accusing the three men of murder makes no mention of Ortiz, and several sources close to the case said prosecutors are looking into the possibility that he was wrongfully convicted in 2006 when he pleaded guilty to the murders.
"I find it a very curious situation that the government has moved to implicate three defendants in a capital murder case when someone else is already in custody serving prison time for those murders," said Kevin W. Spitler, one of Montalvo's defense lawyers.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Tripi made no mention of Ortiz when the three men were arraigned Thursday and declined to comment afterward when asked about him.
A spokesman for the Camacho family – several of whom were in court Thursday – said that they are aware Ortiz could be innocent but that they want to wait to comment until more is known about the killings.
Several defense lawyers in the new murder case – the three men are charged with using a firearm to cause death – said they were unaware of Ortiz's conviction.
"It's certainly something we'll look into," said Donald M. Thompson, one of Jonas' lawyers.
All three defendants, if convicted, could face the death penalty.
When Ortiz agreed to a plea deal with the Erie County District Attorney's Office six years ago, he did so against advice of his lawyers.
John R. Nuchereno, Ortiz's defense lawyer, declined to comment Thursday but, during the sentencing, told the judge in the case that his client took the plea deal after being "coached" by another inmate at the Erie County Holding Center.
Ortiz later tried to withdraw his plea, but Erie County Judge Michael L. D'Amico rejected his request and sentenced him to a maximum of 25 years in prison.
The allegations that others may have killed the Camachos also may fit with eyewitness accounts of that night in 2004 when neighbors said they saw three people fleeing the scene after shots were fired.
At the time of the murders, investigators said they were uncertain about a motive, although neighbors told them that the killings may have stemmed from a rumor that Nelson Camacho had won $65,000 in the lottery when, in fact, he had won only $200.
County prosecutors alleged that Ortiz, in a fit of rage, broke through the Camachos' front door and shot both men several times.
One of the Camachos' siblings – there were 10 brothers and sisters in the family – found the bodies that night after getting a call from another sibling.
Nelson Camacho, a cook at the Towne Restaurant in Allentown, is still remembered by family and friends by his childhood nickname, "Lobo," the Spanish word for wolf, because he ran everywhere.
Family and friends remember Miguel – who was known as "Flaco," which is Spanish for skinny – for his sense of humor.
During Thursday's arraignment, Tripi outlined the allegations against Hidalgo, Montalvo and Jonas, and argued for continued detention of all three men, a request that was granted by U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy.
"They are murder charges and speak for themselves," Tripi told the judge.
Hidalgo, who federal authorities have long considered a leader of the 7th Street Gang, has been in custody since his arrest last year in connection with a different murder case.
FBI agents allege that he and three others killed Eric Morrow, a 21-year old member of the rival 10th Street Gang, in 2009. Hidalgo was captured in Puerto Rico, where FBI agents believe he fled shortly after charges were filed against him.
The 7th and 10th Street gangs were involved in a drug-related turf war that often turned the West Side into a bloody battleground and eventually led to a crackdown by local and federal law enforcement officials.

They've caught the notorious "Pajama Bandit."
Depew police announced Monday that they made an arrest in an April Rite Aid robbery committed by a woman wearing pink pajama bottoms and a gray sweater. Detectives later dubbed her the Pajama Bandit.
Police said Emily R. Bromley, 20, of Lancaster, pleaded guilty last week to participating in the Depew robbery, along with two other holdups in May - one at a Rite Aid in the Town of Tonawanda and the other at a Walgreens in Amherst. Sources say she was wearing the pajama bottoms in at least two of the three heists, but it's unclear whether she entered all three pharmacies.
Bromley pleaded guilty to six felony charges, two from each jurisdiction, according to Depew police and the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
"I believe she was doing this mainly to support her drug habit and her boyfriend's habit," Depew Detective Sgt. Don Panzarella said.
Depew police said Bromley entered the Rite Aid at Transit and French roads on the night of April 24 and handed the pharmacist a note threatening to use a weapon and demanding all the opiates. The pharmacist then handed over an unspecified amount of pills before the bandit fled.
The bandit never showed a gun in any of the robberies.
Detectives from Depew, Amherst and the Town of Tonawanda fielded hundreds of tips from the community after her photo was publicized through Crime Stoppers. Those leads eventually led them to Bromley.
"We just got overwhelmed with phone calls, tips and leads after her photo was out," Panzarella said.

Well, here's to dreamers!
The 24-year-old not only made the Olympic team (he won a silver medal in the 5,000 meter relay at the 2014 Games in Sochi), but as of Tuesday, he's on the cusp of becoming a minor leaguer.
Alvarez, a standout high school shortstop who turned down a full athletic college scholarship to follow his "other passion" of speed skating, is signing up with the Chicago White Sox.
Alvarez posted an Instagram video of himself signing his papers, with the simple caption, "#official @whitesox."
"Playing pro baseball has definitely been a goal of mine," Alvarez, the first Cuban American male skater to make the Olympic team, said during an interview in February. "There were times when I thought of dropping skating completely and just focusing on baseball."
For much of his life, Alvarez has jumped between the two pursuits, trying to "feed his hunger." Back in 2010, the Miami native narrowly missed making the Olympic team. Shortly afterward, he walked onto the Salt Lake Community College baseball team and quickly became the starting shortstop, batting .303 during the 2011 season.
"It was the first time I'd picked up a bat and ball in three years, and it turned out to be a breakout season for me," he recalled. "I was named to the All-Conference team and nominated for All-American."
As to whether he will hang up his skates for good or go for the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, we may have to wait and see.
"Right now it looks like skating is done for me," he says. "I'm ready to move on. But if baseball doesn't work out and I still have that itch for skating, I may be back."

The Jan. 24 Associated Press article about Hillary Clinton's testimony before a congressional committee describes her performance as often fiery and combative, but also gives pride of place to the word emotional – a word the committee members would relish with their wink, wink smirks, the feeling that "we've got her behaving just like a woman." To me, Clinton gave as good as she got, and some of what she got was pretty nasty.

Product DescriptionThe easy-to-use Savage Model 220 redefines the slug gun, creating a whole new class of deer-hunting firearm that can't be beaten when it comes to price or performance. The 220 uses the same action as the legendary Model 110, a rifle known for its accuracy. The super-fast locktime AccuTrigger means the bullet from a 220 can be through a deer before the hammer even falls on a hinge-pin hammer gun. The 220's free-floating, rifled 22-inch barrel has a 1 in 24-inch rate of twist and the action is pillar-bedded for stability. A recoil pad on the butt severely curbs felt-recoil. Includes sling swivels and a detachable box magazine.

We needed a quick meal tonight, and since it felt nice and summery I thought burgers and fries out on the back porch sounded like a good idea. But there were a few snags. First, I only had half a block of tempeh. And no bread crumbs. And no soy sauce. So I made a few substitutions and created a similar but different tempeh burger. One that may even be better than the original in that it has a more meaty texture. Try it and see what you think.
- 1 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetarian stir fry sauce

The fate of two schools may hang in the balance as Election Day draws near, and voters must soon decide whether to approve the Barbour County Board of Education's proposed bond and excess levy.
The proposed excess levy would allow Barbour County Schools to provide educational materials, maintenance of facilities, the potential for free meals if the county meets qualifications - and much more. The proposed bond would prevent students who participate in track from having to travel to Buckhannon to practice, and it would allow track meets to be held on-site, among other benefits to students and their families, school officials said.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. F. Joseph Super said the expenditures proposed by the excess levy are something that Barbour County School System should have been providing all along.

Dr. F. Joseph Super, superintendent of Barbour County Schools, explains the benefits of the proposed bond and excess levy to Philippi City Council. The levy and bond will be up for vote on the county's ballot in November.
"Have we really been doing fine? I don't think there's an absolute answer to that," Super said. "Our current funding sources do not allow us to provide those things."
If the levy does not pass, Super said the county school board may face tough decisions regarding Mount Vernon and Volga-Century elementary schools.
The two schools fall short of their recommended 85 percent student capacity, with student enrollment currently less than 50 percent.
If the bond passes without the levy passing, Super said not all students will see benefits, and it could place an added burden on the cost of maintenance. If the levy passes without the bond, it would have a benefit to all students, but the opportunity to upgrade facilities would be lost.
"When you look at the items that are in the levy, the bulk of those are for kids, either directly or indirectly," Super said. "All an excess levy does is allow you to provide what you should be providing in the first place. Excess levy in education is probably a misnomer."
Super said a number of things can have a poor effect on students, including maintenance issues and a gap in support for external services that support students.
"The support programs - the WVU Extension, the libraries, the health concerns - if we can't support those folks and those folks serve a lot of our kids, it affects their kids adversely," Super said. "The bottom line is our kids deserve (support programs)."
In addition, the levy proposes a free meal service opportunity. Whether the free meal service can be offered is determined by whether the county's school system meets state qualifications. The county has to have at least 40 percent of students who are considered directly certified.
Direct certification is determined by the living situation and household income of the students. If the county qualifies for the program, it receives government reimbursement, which could be anywhere from $1.51 per breakfast to $2.77 per lunch.
"All the levy does is helps us absorb that cost," Super said. "It's still going to cost us money. We have money generated in the regular budget for that."
Barbour County Schools qualified last year with 42 percent of directly certified students. This year, the county is at 39.27 percent. The final determination will be calculated in the spring.
No money generated through the levy is lost, Super said. If Barbour County Schools does not qualify for the program, money designated for the program would then be divided evenly among the other items proposed in the excess levy.
With early voting for the county beginning Oct. 24 and Election Day set for Nov. 6, voters will be faced with the ultimate decision of whether to support the levy.
"We're not hiding the fact that this is an increase in taxes," Super said. "But then the voter has to decide - do they want to support education, or do they not want to support education?"
Super added that he welcomes feedback and suggestions on this issue, or any issue involving local schools.
"We try not to make mistakes up front, but if we do and they're brought to our attention, we correct them," Super said. "If there's a better way to do things, I encourage people to bring suggestions to us."

Seeking to gain some professional development in a nuclear science field, Gage Richert thought the DOE Scholars Program would be a natural step toward his career goals. He joined the Office of Innovative Nuclear Research, which coordinates research investments and award processes for the Nuclear Engineering Enabling Technologies (NEET), Nuclear Engineering University Programs (NEUP) and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards. "My assignment has been to help with closing out the review process for this fiscal year's awards and to help the process for next year's solicitations and research calls," Gage explained. "DOE Scholars is giving me the extremely valuable opportunity to interact with a multitude of 'who's who' in nuclear industry and research, something that is quite rare to experience." In addition to finishing work around the fiscal year's awards, he also expanded a catalog system for fuel cycle comparisons on 40 groups identified by DOE and Sandia National Laboratory as a beta tester. Gage believes the exposure to the technical aspects of the nuclear industry that he gained will prove to be beneficial to both completing his undergraduate degree in nuclear engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology and a future career in reactor technologies.
For Sharon Spradling, a U.S. Air Force veteran, participation in the DOE Scholars program led to the Department of Transportation (DOT) where she aided in implementation of clean energy and sustainability strategies. Spradling was a part of DOE's Federal Energy Management pilot program designed to help veterans hone their workforce skills and experience. While at DOT, Spradling, a doctoral student in geoinformation science at George Mason University, participated in three diverse projects, each of which addressed a unique aspect of energy policy implementation. In her first DOT project, Spradling conducted a detailed review of the agency's analysis on greenhouse gas emissions from DOT employee commuting and alternative work schedules. Next, she assessed and recommended improvements on how DOT collects, validates, and consolidates water data from the department's more than 1,000 federal facilities. Finally, she participated in developing a comprehensive energy management strategy for these same buildings that would help DOT meet the new energy conservation requirements outlined in the President's December 2013 energy memorandum. "The DOE Scholars program allows you to build on the experience you already have, learn about the federal government's energy programs, and contribute to another agency's energy programs. It has been a great experience," she said. Upon completion of her degree, Spradling sees herself in a faculty position, continuing to teach energy and environmental sustainability classes at a university.
Alexis Vrotsos can say with confidence that she grew more during her 10 weeks with the DOE Scholars Program than any time she spent in a traditional classroom. Participating with the Environmental Management branch of the Office of Management Systems and Analysis, she collaborated with senior staff to conduct interviews aimed at collecting and analyzing the target metric data necessary to draft the FY2013 Environmental Management Senior Performance Agreement document. "I am grateful that I had the opportunity to join a seasoned group that was open and receptive to the ideas of a student, and will be mindful to follow suit as my career evolves," she said. Currently representing the DOE as an Energy Ambassador on her campus at Tulane University and throughout the southern U.S., Alexis is working toward earning master's degrees in both business administration and energy management.
When Josef Miler heard from a graduate school friend at Stanford University there was a way for him to conduct research for the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) through the DOE Scholars Program, he was all in. His team at ARPA-E is trying to develop novel high-energy magnets at scales relevant for mass production of wind turbines and electric motor vehicles. Through his participation, Josef has learned a great deal, some of which has surprised him. "I had no idea just how clean the inside of a hard disk drive is," he said. "It's arguably the cleanest environment known to man, second only to space." In addition to new discoveries, he has been able to research alongside some of the nation's strongest technical experts and with his peers. "Working with the other ORISE scholars at ARPA-E was an invaluable experience for me," he said. "Each of them had an incredible wealth of experience to share, as well as a passion for advancing energy technology. It has been truly exceptional and incredibly rewarding."
Graduate student Ryan Tuttle was no stranger to the DOE Scholars Program – he participated once before in a different division – but that did not stop him from gaining another valuable experience with DOE. He served his most recent appointment in the Office of Environmental Compliance where he focused on determining best practices through compiling different regulatory requirements and tracking the methods used to close issues with these requirements. "There is always another element to learn," he said. "I have a better understanding of how the government functions internally from this experience; the life of a civil servant is very different than I expected." Once he completes his master's degree in public policy at Oregon State University, Ryan hopes to work his way into the renewable energy and energy efficiency side of the federal government with DOE's Office of Environmental Management, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the Bonneville Power Administration.
Seeking a competitive advantage in the communications and database management field, Patrick Smith II applied to the DOE Scholars Program. He was accepted and placed in the Records Management division of DOE's Office of Environmental Management where his project focused on reviewing and improving the records database and the supporting systems used to digitize records. "I did not realize what an excellent opportunity I was being given with this internship," he said. "Not only was I able to observe the interworkings, difficulties and successes of several groups resolving complex issues, but I was actually able to be heavily involved with a large portion of both the assessment and the solution." Patrick hopes to achieve his bachelor's degree from Tennessee Technological University and establish himself in a full-time position with the federal workforce.

The responsibility of management is to be efficient and effective at administering an organization's human, financial, material, and intellectual resources so that they can achieve business goals. Managers possess strong leadership and communication skills as well as have critical thinking skills which enable them not only to motivate employees but also solve problems. By having an overall knowlege in accounting, managing, marketing, and business law, a manager is competent to make decisions that will have a positive impact on the business.
In order to succeed, individuals must be willing and capable of leading others and understanding their strengths and weakness so that they may be assigned tasks accordingly. Because managers interact with employees and clientele on a regular basis, it is necessary for them to be able to communicate ideas clearly, both in oral and written form. Managers take responsibility for their actions and accept the consequences of their decisions, whether it pertains to administration of financial or human resources.
Among the career options that are available to individuals with a major in management are general managers, operations managers, human resource managers, project managers, management analysts or consultants, and computer and information systems managers. Other popular positions that can be obtained are retail managers, customer service representatives, employment recruiters, sales managers, and office managers.
Depending on the specialization that an individual chooses, their salary will vary accordingly. Listed below are just some of the most popular jobs for business management majors and their respective average salaries.

Today, he is the newly installed 266th Pontiff, but 70-some years ago, Pope Francis (previously Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio) was just a boy with a naughty streak.
Sister Martha Rabino, 71 – head of the Colegio de la Misericordia, a Catholic school in Flores, Buenos Aires, where Pope Francis attended preschool – says she's heard all about his reputation as a boy and gotten to know him as an adult.
"All his life he has remained in touch with us," she tells PEOPLE. "He comes spend the afternoon with us twice a year, when he gets all the nuns together and we have tea, and then we take mass."
"As a boy, he was a little naughty," says Rabino. "Sister Rose had been his teacher and died at age 101. He was very fond of her. He would always visit her … he would love to ask her, 'What was I like as a little boy?' And she would always say, 'You were a devil!' and he would laugh and laugh."
It also sounds like the Pope, now 76, was a good student – perhaps with a penchant for math.
"He used to skip up and down the stairs while learning his two times table," says Rabino, "repeating 'two, four, six, eight' over and over again!"
As for the Pope's life today, his nephew Jorge Vallejos, 37, tells PEOPLE that the Catholic Church's new leader has a family life rooted in tradition. And food.
"When we get together as a family we have big meals. We're an Italian family from the north of Italy so our traditions are strong. We eat a lot of pasta, capelletis, stuffed calamari."
Adds Pope Francis's sister, Maria Elena Bergoglio, 65, "I can tell you that he listens to tango in his office while he works."
"He lives very austerely. He has no car, he rides the bus or the subway, or walks."

"Amanda and her entire family would like to thank everyone who's contacted them with good thoughts and wishes for Amanda's recovery," says a statement from lawyer Tamar Arminak. "Amanda has completed her inpatient rehabilitation and she's feeling better every day."
Bynes, 27, had been forcibly hospitalized following a driveway-burning incident in July, but was eventually moved to a Malibu rehabilitation facility.
"She's now looking at various colleges with the intention of majoring in fashion design," the statement continues. "She's mentioned before she's interested in creating a clothing line."
"Despite the fact Amanda is no longer in a facility, her outpatient treatment is continuing. She's very happy to reestablish the loving relationship with her family that she once shared."
As Bynes continues her recovery, her mother Lynn will remain in indefinite control over Bynes's well-being and finances, Arminak confirmed.
