Integrated pharmacy program graduates first class
The South Carolina College of Pharmacy makes history this spring as it graduates its first class -- 183 students in the integrated University of South Carolina and Medical University of South Carolina pharmacy school.
The two schools joined in 2004, bringing together the resources of a major academic medical center and a large comprehensive university. The idea was to leverage the resources of the two colleges of pharmacy to create a college on par with the best in the country.
"During the past four years, we have implemented one of the best curriculums in the U.S.," said Joseph T. DiPiro, executive dean of the South Carolina College of Pharmacy. "We are the program of choice for hundreds of applicants; our research productivity is up; our facilities have been improved, and many of our faculty and students have received national awards and recognitions. We have exceptionally strong partners in health care organizations, and we are attracting top faculty. Not all of that is directly attributable to the integration, but it is clearly working to our advantage. The proof is the caliber of the young men and women we are sending into the profession as SCCP graduates who are USC or MUSC alumni."
The MUSC campus of the South Carolina College of Pharmacy will hold its awards and hooding ceremony at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 20 at the Omar Shrine Temple in Mount Pleasant. Commencement is at 9 a.m. Friday, May 21 in the Horseshoe on the MUSC campus.
Two of the graduates from the MUSC campus got more than just a PharmD out of their time at the College. Chris Dykes, a native of Columbia, S.C. who grew up on a military base in Germany, and Lisa Olson Dykes, an Iowan who chose SCCP because it was in a warm place she'd never been, met within a few weeks of beginning school. Now married, the two are going into a career with the U.S. Air Force.
"Well, I met my now husband within the first few weeks of school, which I never expected to happen," Lisa Dykes said. "We were friends for awhile before we started dating and the rest is history. I was torn between the military and a civil service position. However, after many conversations with him, our recruiter, and several friends, I decided to join the Air Force as well."

Why is Dame Maggie Smith sexier than Grace Kelly? Because we say so.
Every year come Academy Award season, there are lists upon lists ranking all sorts of attributes across all sorts of categories. Here at Nerve, we're interested in the sexiness of every woman who has won the Best Actress Oscar, and they are quite the sexy bunch.
Don't fear, we didn't rank them according to their physical appearances — there are plenty of sites for that — that would be boring and arbitrary. Instead, we've factored in the intangible, the intelligence, the gumption, sassiness, and drama of these talented women, alongside their physical sex appeal. It's this unique combination that makes anyone truly sexy.
What follows is a heterosexual woman's objective, scientific list ranking the absolute sexiness of seventy of the world's most celebrated actresses. Enjoy.
70. Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon has been in an okay movie or two, but you couldn't call her sexy. She sort of looks like a toddler who put on a giant blonde wig and its mother's high heels. Essentially, she's got the sex appeal of a My Little Pony. Next!
69. Loretta Young
Loretta Young was beautiful, but she was known for her squeaky-clean image in a time where all images were pretty squeaky-clean. We're not saying she wasn't talented, because she was, but we would rather not.
68. Janet Gaynor
First-ever Oscar winner, Janet Gaynor went from being a shoe salesgirl to winning her Academy Award for best Actress. Janet Gaynor won her Oscar for silent films, but she scores low on the list because we like a woman with a mouth on her.
67. Joan Fontaine
Playing opposite Cary Grant in 1941's Suspicion, Joan Fontaine garnered praise for her rendition of a drab housewife who becomes paranoid that her husband is plotting to kill her. In real life, she had a lifelong feud with her sister, fellow Oscar winner Olivia de Havilland, and was completely bitter about the institution of marriage. Not so sexy.
66. Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwen is lithe and lovely. She looks like a princess or some sort of elf, but all her focus on organic homemaking and only drinking green liquids turns us off.
65. Louise Fletcher
Louise Fletcher might be an extremely talented actress, but nothing about her iconic, frigid turn as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest inspires warmth in our loins.
64. Patricia Neal
While she had an appealing, timeless look, Patricia Neal was best known her matriarchal, middle-aged roles in films like Breakfast at Tiffany's and Hud.
63. Marie Dressler
Marie Dressler might not have been much to look at, but she became one of the greatest box office draws of her era. Starting as a Broadway star in 1892, she went on to become one of film's best-loved comediennes. Funny is always sexy.
62. Helen Hayes
While playing a French farmer's daughter in The Sin of Madelon Claudet might sound like a role ripe for sexiness, Helen Hayes brought more of an enfeebled helplessness than a naive charm to the part.
61. Susan Hayward
Hayward rose to prominence through her role as an alcoholic in 1947's Smash-up, the Story of a Woman, then won the Oscar for her portrayal of a female death row inmate in 1958's I Want to Live!. Both were brave, non-traditional roles for women at the time.
60. Ellen Burstyn
Requiem for a Dream is so unsexy that it taints this otherwise talented actress for the purposes of this list.
59. Julie Andrews
Julie Andrews was a wonderful actress, but she's most famous for two roles in which she plays a nanny. We're just not into it.
58. Frances McDormand
McDormand's film debut was in the Coen Brothers' first movie, Blood Simple. Since then she's played a wise, small town cop, an over-anxious mother, and a cheating spouse. I kind of think she's sexy, but then I also remember her helicopter parenting in Almost Famous and it scares me.
57. Julie Christie
A pop icon in "Swinging London," Julie Christie starred in Darling as a young model sleeping her way to the top. Though she looked good in a yellow bikini, her grimace during the crying scenes takes her down a few pegs. There's no way to unsee that.
56. Holly Hunter
Maybe it's her association with the film Thirteen, a film that tried so hard to be edgy that it became boring and unwatchable, but I sort of find Holly Hunter a bit boring.
55. Jane Wyman
Hollywood legend Jane Wyman was the first wife of Ronald Reagan. However, the divorced when he was still a Democrat, so she's got that going for her.
54. Sally Field
Sally Field has always killed it, as a flying nun or a maternal figure, but sexually I'm just not that into it.
53. Emma Thompson
It was really sad when she cried at Christmastime listening to the saddest Joni Mitchell song of them all. A male in the office just noted that he "feels like I could get a date with her if I wanted to, and that accessibility makes her very sexy to me." Okay.
52. Cher
The ratio of the amount of time Cher looked like a beautiful flower child to the amount of time she has looked very surgically altered is quite low. Thus, she's fairly low on this list.
51. Liza Minnelli
Liza Minnelli is an odd looking lady these days. Perhaps she overdid it on surgeries a bit, but we don't really care. She's a zany lady with a gorgeous voice and a self-deprecating sense of humor. And vertigo.
50. Helen Hunt
Don't you want to go to a dinner party with Helen Hunt? I'm not sure if she's the sexiest lady in my book, but she does seem like someone you could have fun, buddy sex with.
49. Olivia de Havilland
The older sister of fellow Oscar winner Joan Fontaine, Olivia de Havilland was linked to heavy hitters like James Stewart and Howard Hughes in the 1930s. Of her sister, she once said, "I bequeath all my beauty to my younger sister, Joan, since she has none." Well played.
48. Sandra Bullock
I want to watch Sandra Bullock infiltrate the Miss America pageant, but I don't really want to watch her do much else.
47. Marlee Matlin
Marlee Matlin, the only deaf performer to win an Oscar, was seeking treatment for drug abuse at the Betty Ford Clinic when she found out she was nominated. Sobriety is very sexy.
46. Greer Garson
Greer Garson was one of MGM's major stars in the 1940s, appearing alongside Clark Gable and other prominent actors of the time. She pitched the tagline, "She Put the Able in Gable" for her 1945 film Adventure.
45. Claudette Colbert
Colbert considered the left side of her face to be her "best side" and refused to be shot from the right, necessitating the rebuilding of entire sets sometimes. A little neurosis can be hot.
44. Shirley Booth
One G short of an EGOT, Booth won an Oscar, three Tonys, and two Emmys.
43. Jessica Tandy
Jessica Tandy was once voted one of People's "50 Most Beautiful People." Much later in life she became the oldest Academy Award winner for her role in Driving Miss Daisy. We appreciate the sexiness of all age groups.
42. Luise Rainer
The first actress to win back-back Oscars, Rainer is a well-known example of "The Oscar Curse." After her two wins, she failed to thrive as an actress. She did a fantastic job in The Good Earth, a book that always made me cry as a child, and had an earnestness on screen that was sexy and sincere.
41. Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman was fantastic in her Oscar winning role in The Hours, but other than that we don't love her. We won't hold Tom Cruise against her, but she does look and act kind of like a crazy deer, so there's that.
40. Norma Shearer
Norma Shearer was a teenage beauty queen who was rejected by Ziegfeld when she auditioned to appear in his famous "Follies." She was born with a cross-eyed stare, but found fame after having her eyes corrected she went on to fame and fortune.
39. Shirley MacLaine
Don Seigel, a director who once worked with her said, "It's hard to feel any great warmth to her. She's too unfeminine and has too much balls. She's very, very hard." We disagree.
38. Jennifer Jones
A true beauty, Jennifer Jones retreated from the limelight in later years to live a quieter life. She did, however, found the Jennifer Jones Simon Foundation For Mental Health And Education after her daughter's suicide as a way to help others suffering from mental illness.
37. Kathy Bates
How can anyone not be enamored of this wonderful woman? She rose to prominence at age forty-two, in the creepiest movies of all time, Misery. Though it's decidedly unsexy to hold an unwilling author captive in your home, breaking his ankles so he can never leave you, Bates went on to play a host of far more likable, relatable characters. She's got warmth and a sense of humor.
36. Mary Pickford
Mary won for her leading role in "Coquette," the sexiest of movie titles. With her flapper bob, and waved curls, she was America's sweetheart. We still love her.
35. Joanne Woodward
Joanne Woodward has the poutiest, sexiest face. She was married to Paul Newman, one of our sexy favorites, for fifty years, until his death in 2008.
34. Diane Keaton
Annie Hall might not have been the brightest, but she had a charm. We rank Woody Allen's former muse high on any list, vest and tie included.
33. Simone Signoret
Looking at this French beauty's studio shots from the 1940s just knocked my socks off.
32. Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman is semi-sexy. She's smart, accomplished, and talented. She seems approachable, but there's just something a little too serious about her.
31. Faye Dunaway
The sexiest Bonnie to ever grace the silver screen.
30. Anne Bancroft
With the raise of a leg, Anne Bancroft launched a million sexy dreams in the role of Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate.
29. Hilary Swank
At first I wasn't into the idea of HIlary Swank, but then I remembered that she won her first Oscar for her portrayal of Brandon Teena in Boys Don't Cry, which is a fantastic movie.
28. Joan Crawford
Before the "No wire hangers"-era, Joan Crawford was an impressive actress who gained renown first as a 1920s flapper, then as one of the depression-era's most popular actresses. She was well known for her "rags to riches" characters, popular with the public during hard times.
27. Bette Davis
Bette Davis was a forceful leading lady in the Hollywood studio era. She made her mark with forceful, intense characters and those cutting, lingering eyes.
26. Charlize Theron
Even though Charlize Theron was terrible in Prometheus, she did a killer job in Monster and was Michael Bluth's girlfriend in Arrested Development.
25. Ginger Rogers
Ginger Rogers is the smoothest dancer of the list, vastly increasing her sexiness in our eyes.
24. Judy Holliday
Judy Holliday had an IQ of 172, in the 99.99% percentile. The sexiest.
23. Jodie Foster
Jodie sort of 'came out' at this year's Golden Globes in an emotional speech that earned her acclaim. Not sure if this is related, but my mom did let me watch Nell as a small child, and Jodie Foster's boobs were the first movie boobs my tiny eyes had ever seen, which may account for her relatively high placement on this list.
22. Geraldine Page
Page was a trained Method actor. Nothing is sexier than being considered one of the greatest actors of all time.
21. Julia Roberts
Sure, Julia Roberts is a little cheesy with that mile-wide smile, but there's something so welcoming about her. The role for which she won, Erin Brockavich, she was an attorney whom no one took seriously because of her sexiness, but she ended up being smarter and more ambitious than anyone else in the film. She demonstrates that overt sexiness is fun and wonderful, and that it doesn't detract from intelligence or the ability to get shit done. Amen.
20. Marion Cotillard
She got that sexy, eccentric French woman vibe. Negative points for trying to kill Batman.
19. Susan Sarandon
Hell yes, Susan Sarandon. From Rocky Horror Picture Show to Thelma & Louise she's showcased her smarts and sexiness. These days she's running a ping pong bar (awesome) and dating a handsome gentleman thirty years her junior. Killing it.
18. Sissy Spacek
Sissy Spacek does sort of look like an alien, but in that sexy way. Plus, nothing is sexier than telekinesis.
17. Ingrid Bergman
Woody Guthrie wrote a song about this beauty. Alfred Hitchcock fawned over her. We love a muse.
16. Anna Magnani
Film historian Barry Monush called Anna Magnani "the volcanic earth mother of all Italian cinema." Enough said.
15. Jessica Lange
From her Oscar-winning performance in to her outstanding role in American Horror Story, Jessica Lange is an actress with unparalleled talent. Her epic confidence is agelessly sexy.
14. Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly was strikingly beautiful, much like a glowing angel is strikingly beautiful. She's a controversial figure at the Nerve office, with some petitioning for her advancement and others claiming her virginal beauty is none too sexy. We'll let you decide if she's misplaced.
13. Helen Mirren
Last year, at age sixty-six, Dame Helen Mirren wowed the world with her svelte bikini body. From her film debut in 1969 in Age of Consent, Mirren's work has been sexually-charged. Lifetime sexiness award.
12. Audrey Hepburn
Sure, everyone is obsessed with Audrey Hepburn, and she was a great actress with a distinct look, but she's scarcely sexy. Even in Breakfast at Tiffany's, a film in which she essentially plays an escort, there's something a bit lacking in her sex appeal. Though not top ten material, she was a sexy lady.
11. Maggie Smith
Dame Maggie Smith's outstanding career has spanned over six decades. Her awards and nominations occupy an entire, extremely long Wikipedia page. She's played gay man's beard, a good witch, and the Dowager.
10. Jane Fonda
Barbarella. End of story.
9. Halle Berry
Halle Berry showed up to accept her Razzie award for Worst Actress for her title role in Catwoman, a ballsy move of someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously. Additionally, she's the first and only African American woman to have won the Best Actress Oscar. Trailblazing and down-to-earth earns Halle many sexiness points.
8. Barbra Streisand
Babs has that ineffable star quality. She's got the voice, the confidence, and the talent. Funny Girl-era Streisand, stuffing a pillow under her dress to perform as a faux-pregnant Zeigfeld girl, showed use that comedic timing is far more important than an angelic visage.
7. Sophia Loren
The voluptuous Sophia Loren might be the straight-up, physically sexiest woman on this list. Even today, at seventy-eight-years-old, Loren is drop-dead gorgeous.
6. Glenda Jackson
Glenda Jackson won two Oscars, guest-starred on The Muppet Show as a delusional pirate, and has served as a member of British Parliament since 1992. Each one of those things, on its own, is over-the-top sexy.
5. Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet defined sexiness for an entire generation when she stepped out of her dress aboard the Titanic. She's always been confident about her body, and that's the sexiest attribute you can possess.
4. Meryl Streep
Did you know that more people have thanked Meryl Streep in their Oscar acceptance speeches than have thanked God? We agree.
3. Vivien Leigh
In Gone With the Wind, Leigh famously played Scarlett O'Hara, the archetypal Southern belle and coquette turned unflinching business woman. But it was her role in A Streetcar Named Desire, for which she earned her second Oscar, that really set her apart. She played the delusional Blanche DuBois with deftness and precision. She was delicately beautiful, and a true actress who carried herself with grace and poise.
2. Elizabeth Taylor
Liz Taylor is the essence of sex appeal. From Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to Cleopatra, she embodied the seductress both on screen and off. With a life filled with diamonds, divorce, and drinking, Elizabeth Taylor was one hell of a woman. She lived hard and loved all things gaudy, but she embraced it. A far more complex character than a certain recent television miniseries would have you believe, Elizabeth Taylor was the ultimate sultry star.
1. Katharine Hepburn
Winning a record number of Academy Awards for Best Actress — her four awards have never been surpassed — Katharine Hepburn was a dynamite actress, gifted and expressive. She won her first Oscar in 1933 and her fourth in 1981. Born to a doctor and a suffragette, Katharine was encouraged to speak her mind from an early age. As a young woman, Katharine was a tomboy, cutting her hair short and calling herself "Jimmy." As an adult, Hepburn defied gender stereotype, wearing pants before it was socially acceptable and generally being more outspoken and opinionated than was thought "proper." A true trailblazer, in life and in art, Katharine Hepburn tops our sexiest stars.

General Motors and Australia's Adelaide's Holden Motor Body Builders reached a deal in 1923 for the manufacturing of fully imported, pre-assembled chassis for GM vehicles. This partnership allowed GM to avoid significant import duties and allowed Oldsmobiles to be sold in Australia at a relatively low cost compared to competitive cars. The Oldsmobile 30 series built between 1923 and 1927 proved to be very popular in "the Land Down Under."
Holden built the vast majority of the bodies for Olds in the 1920s, but the low-volume models such as roadsters and some sedans were still imported from other factories. With Australia feeling the Great Depression as harshly as the rest of the world, GM ceased exports of Oldsmobiles to Australia at the end of 1929, and did not resume until 1934.
America's Car Museum's "Holden Oldsmobile" was restored by Peter Gifford of Dunlop, Australia. He wrote about his mission to save the car from the junkyard and return it to its showroom quality. "I bought the Olds in 1975 as a pile of rubbish in a backyard for $100, and it was certainly not a complete car," he wrote. "After six years of restoration and countless miles of chasing parts, it was complete. I still think it was a great achievement to do this restoration in my shed."
The car is painted Chamois, a GM custom paint for the age. The chassis and the engine used in the restoration are from the same car. The car offered 61 horsepower through a V6 engine with three speeds.

Normally in this situation injection or xss is used to either add a user to the database or (in the case of MSSQL) spawn a xp command shell
Hi, I was wondering if there are ways to bypass web logons. I've tryed hydra and can crack the user/pass but if its not a basic pair it would be difficult. I'm trying to target php and asp pages.
Any ideas.
Normally in this situation injection or xss is used to either add a user to the database or (in the case of MSSQL) spawn a xp command shell
"K Menu, Backtrack, Web Application Analysis, Database (Backend)", the programs that follow will aid you in your quest, learn a little about them.
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8byte space, on purpose.
My idea is that you're trying to do something for which you do not have the necessary information.I've tryed hydra and can crack the user/pass but if its not a basic pair it would be difficult. I'm trying to target php and asp pages.
Any ideas.
1) Go learn how HTTP/HTTPS work.
2) Lean how HTML works.
3) Learn how browsers work.
4) Learn how databases, LDAP, and other information stores and authentication mechanisms work.
5) Do some reading over at OWASP.
6) etc.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
"Blind Xpath injection attack"5) Do some reading over at OWASP.
now just have to learn html and other web langsXPath is a type of query language that describes how to locate specific elements (including attributes, processing instructions, etc.) in an XML document. Since it is a query language, XPath is somewhat similar to Structured Query Language (SQL). However, XPath can be used to reference almost any part of any XML document without access control restrictions, whereas with SQL, a "user" (which is a term undefined in the XPath/XML context) may be restricted to certain tables, columns or queries.
More information may be found in the article dedicated to XPATH Injection. Using an XPATH Injection attack the attacker is able to log in to the system without entering valid login and password. If he wants to know information about other users he must take one step further. When conducting a Blind XPath Injection attack, the attacker has no knowledge about the structure of the XML document. However his situation is better compared to Blind SQL Injection, because there are functions which allow for performing tests (XML Crawling) and in the end getting to know the document structure.
Risk Factors
The attacker may be successful using two methods: Boolenization and XML Crawling. By adding to the XPath syntax, the attacker uses additional expressions (replacing what the attacker entered in the place of login to the specially crafted expression).
Thanks for the pointers, you lot
Checked out OWASP site, read up about the different attack vectors(nice site)..got some googleing to do.

I want to hear how the reunion went between Chuckchuck & Clem? Was troll lubricant utilized..?
Maybe that's TMI, whew, but since you trolls are having a circle jerk it's a fair question for when you get into the deeper, uh, darker, stuff.
Hey Yankee, didn't you just go somewhere.....like a trip?
If I'm correct aboot that, how'd it go? I axed Spicoli how his trip was, but he won't tell me. So I'm 0 for 1. Don't make me 0 for 2. Tell me a little story.
Oh and by the way, today was much better than I expected. See, people you just got to go. I almost passed today. Hey, I'll take 3 foot bowls with the NW winds blowing flies onto beachgoers, and a sunny blue sky anyday. I mean, dudes, I actually had fun today.

So, yah, went on solo surf trek to CR for 5 days. Good, healthy food, above avg waves & plenty of open range. If ya want plenty of space on land n' sea, then September, October & until approx TDay are your best bet.
Waves were good, clean & green every day, mid-tide always best time to go out, storms in th late afternoon made it interesting, but shops & hotels & bars & the waves were literally deserted. Had a great surf trek!

Lil Wayne talks quitting high school, retirement on 'Katie'
Listen to Lil Wayne on iHeartRadio
Lil Wayne says he has no regrets about not finishing high school but he's not encouraging others to follow in his footsteps. In a candid interview on the season opener of Katie Couric's talk show, the 30-year-old rapper said it was actually his mom who suggested he quit school and get his GED instead when she noticed her already-platinum-selling son packing a gun in his backpack on his way to public school one day.
Wayne prefaced his story about quitting high school by strongly suggesting that kids stay in school - especially his own kids with whom he says he's looking forward to spending more time when he's retired - at the ripe old age of 35.
The New Orleans-born rapper also credited his mom with helping him kick drug habits that were endangering his health and spoke about the time he spent in jail for drug and gun possession. The interview marked Lil Wayne's second interview with Couric. He previously spoke with the veteran journalist for a segment that aired on CBS' "60 Minutes" in 2009.

Bentonville, Ark., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is adding $4 generic drugs to its health-insurance plans and offering lower premiums and deductibles, according to the Associated Press.
Wal-Mart said the new 2008 plan will add more than 2,400 generic prescriptions at $4 each. The current plan offers fewer than 20 generic drugs for a co-pay of $3.
It will also offer premiums on its lowest-priced Value Plan as little as $8 a month nationwide, from $24 a month, currently. The new lowest-premium plan for individuals has a deductible of $2,000 a year but no maximum on coverage and an upfront credit of $100 before the deductible kicks in.

There was a time when we relied largely on focus groups and surveys to learn who was buying the products and services we were touting and what they thought about the experience. Thanks to technology, today we have access to a wealth of data to help build marketing campaigns that will catch the attention of potential consumers. To some, the tools used to gather information are seen as an invasion of privacy, while others view it as smart business. For any company, big or small, the reality is that data is now accessible and a valuable tool for creating more efficient and effective communications.
In early spring, Target stores received a great deal of attention for their "data grab" practices that made it possible to predict a woman's pregnancy, thus sending specific coupons and mailers anticipating her shopping needs. An article in Forbes detailed Target's practices and explained that they are not the only one gathering data: "Retailers are studying details to figure out what you like, what you need, and which coupons are most likely to make you happy."
Similarly, Safeway stores recently launched an online and mobile coupon application that gives customers discounts based on their shopping history. The program called "Just for U" tracks customer purchases through the Safeway Club Card and uses the information to create personalized discounts on specific products. Safeway's marketing gurus recognized it was not enough to offer coupons and weekly deals to entice shoppers to choose their store over the many other options; the deals need to be personal, they need to matter to the customer.
As a small business owner lacking the deep pockets to employ an in-house statistician tracking your customer's every move or a team of marketing experts to roll-out individualized messaging, you may think it would be nice to know more, but it just isn't possible. While it is true that you may not have the resources of the marketing departments at Target or Safeway, you do have the ability to gather valuable information about your customers and create more targeted and effective messaging.

Bauer, Raburn guide Tribe past Phillies
CLEVELAND -- Ryan Raburn tied a career high with four hits, Trevor Bauer allowed one hit in five strong innings for his first American League win, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 on Wednesday night.
Raburn, coming off back-to-back two-homer games, drove in two runs with a single in the third and a double in the fifth. He has 12 hits in his last 14 at-bats, a stretch that began Sunday, while totaling four homers, nine RBIs and five runs scored in the last four games.
The Indians have won a season-high four straight games in which they have outscored their opponents 39-5.
Bauer (1-1), called up from Triple-A Columbus before the game, walked six while striking out five and combined with four relievers for the shutout.
Cliff Lee, pitching against the Indians for the first time since Cleveland dealt him to Philadelphia during the 2009 season, allowed five runs in six innings. Lee (2-2) has given up 13 runs and 26 hits in 18 innings in his last three starts.
Raburn, who was 2 for 19 with seven strikeouts in his career against Lee coming in, singled in the second when the Indians took a 1-0 lead on Mike Aviles' sacrifice fly. Raburn's infield hit in the third capped Cleveland's three-run rally and his RBI double in the fifth gave the Indians a five-run lead. He added a bloop single in the seventh off Jeremy Horst. While fans were chanting his name in the eighth inning, Raburn struck out against Phillippe Aumont.
Raburn has taken advantage of increased playing time due to injuries to Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn. Over his last seven games, Raburn is batting .500 (15 for 30).
Asdrubal Cabrera had a two-run double in the third while Michael Brantley had three hits.
Bauer was likely making a spot start as the Indians needed an extra starter because of a rainout last week. The right-hander, who walked seven in five innings in his first start against Tampa Bay on April 6, didn't allow a hit until Domonic Brown's two-out single in the fourth. Raburn took an extra base hit away from Ryan Howard with a catch at the wall in right field earlier in the inning.
Bauer walked the first two hitters in the fifth, but retired Jimmy Rollins, Michael Young and Chase Utley to end the inning.
Cleveland was the only team Lee hadn't faced in his career. Lee won the AL Cy Young Award with the Indians in 2008, going 22-3 with a 2.54 ERA. Cleveland also defeated Roy Halladay, another former Cy Young winner, on Tuesday.
The Indians' third-inning rally was keyed by three infield hits. The inning began on a bunt hit by Brantley, followed by a walk to Jason Kipnis. Cabrera doubled past third base to score both runners. Mark Reynolds' hit to deep shortstop moved Cabrera to third. After Carlos Santana struck out, Raburn hit a slow roller that third baseman Michael Young had no play on and Cabrera scored.
Lee got a boost from his defense when right fielder Laynce Nix robbed Drew Stubbs of a home run with a leaping catch at the wall in the fourth.
Swisher missed his second straight game because of a sore left shoulder.
Delmon Young started at designated hitter for the second straight game for the Phillies. Manager Charlie Manuel planned on playing Young in right field, but he was struck on his throwing elbow by a pitch from Zach McAllister on Tuesday. Making his season debut in that game, Young homered in his first-bat.

Cloyd takes perfect game through six
Phillies right-hander strikes out eight batters in Triple-A debut
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | April 5, 2012 8:37 PM ET
The Phillies prospect delivered a perfect game through six innings in his Triple-A debut Thursday en route to the IronPigs' 3-0 win over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. Cloyd is the only starter in Lehigh Valley history to have tossed six perfect frames.
"I had fun tonight and now we'll see what happens from here," Cloyd told The Morning Call.
The 24-year-old right-hander was filling in for starter Dave Bush, who was suspended five games after throwing a pitch up and in following a home run in a Spring Training game Saturday. The suspension was announced Thursday, giving the IronPigs little time to make a move.
"They let me know [Wednesday] night and it was kind of a shock to me," Cloyd told The Morning Call.
The Nebraska native struck out eight in the contest, a number he matched in just two of his 22 starts last year. He also allowed only three balls out of the infield against a Yankees lineup that included eight players with big league experience.
"I kept thinking I just needed to go out there and throw strikes, keep pounding the strike zone and see what happens," Cloyd told The Morning Call.
Cloyd was removed after six frames, making way for No. 5 Phillies prospect Phillippe Aumont. The 23-year-old righty gave up the Yankees' first hit with one out in the seventh, when Raymond Kruml doubled on a line drive to center field, before getting out of the frame by striking out Steve Pearce and inducing a flyout by Jack Cust.
Jake Diekman and Michael Schwimer combined to toss the last two innings for the IronPigs, allowing just one walk between them.
Rich Thompson recorded the only RBI for Lehigh Valley, drawing a bases-loaded walk in the third. The IronPigs scored their other two runs on shortstop Ramiro Pena's throwing error one batter later.
Selected in the 18th round of the 2008 Draft, Cloyd posted a 9-7 record with a 2.77 ERA between Class A Advanced Clearwater and Reading last year. In 146 innings -- 106 2/3 of which he tossed for the R-Phils -- he struck out 138 and walked only 22.
The righty went on to pitch in the Arizona Fall League, compiling a 4.35 ERA in 31 innings. Once again, he showed strong command, fanning 27 and walking seven.
Cloyd will likely be sent back down to Reading, as Bush's suspension will expire in time for his next start. It would not be a surprise, however, to see the Opening Day sensation donning an IronPigs uniform later this season.

Myleene Klass
She's always been quite the style trendsetter, and now Kate Middleton's influence has moved into the plastic surgery realm.
According to cosmetic surgeons in the UK, the Duchess of Cambridge's sniffer is far and away the most requested schnoz for rhinoplasty procedures.
Showing off her killer physique, Myleene Klass was spotted hard at work on a beach photo shoot in Barbados today (February 23).
The 31-year-old musician-turned-model looked to be thoroughly enjoying herself as she posed for the camera in a black two-piece bikini.
The British newspaper The Sun conducted an online survey recently to ask the question "Who is the hottest mom in Hollywood?"
And coming in at number one was Angelina Jolie. The mother-of-four was named the world's "yummiest mummy" by the UK paper. But she had some pretty fierce competition.

Thank you for supporting arctic foxes
The class of foxes belongs to the order Carnivora and in the family Canidae. There are 20 species of foxes in six genera: Alopex (arctic foxes), Cerdocyon (crab-eating foxes), Otocyon (bat-eared foxes), Pseudalopex (South American foxes), Urocyon (gray foxes) and Vulpes (all other foxes). Debate continues on whether the arctic fox should be classified into Vulpes or into its own genus of Alopex. The arctic fox is also known as the polar fox or the white fox. Linneaus, the 18th century botanist, bestowed the scientific name lagopus (rabbit or hare-footed) on the arctic fox for its distinctive furred paws. As its name implies, the arctic fox's range includes the circumpolar northern Arctic regions of North America, Scandinavia, Siberia, Greenland and Iceland.
Arctic foxes inhabit treeless arctic and alpine tundra. They live in both coastal and inland areas of the mainland and on islands. Arctic foxes travel extensively and possess large range sizes from 2,100-15,000 acres (850-6,070 ha). Other than humans, the arctic fox travels more extensively than any terrestrial animal.
Compared to the slender bodies and long legs of other foxes, arctic foxes have a stocky body with short legs and torso. Arctic foxes also have a short muzzle and short, rounded ears. The arctic fox has dense fur with an especially thick and fine undercoat that comprises 70% of its coat. Arctic foxes have extremely long and bushy tails that muffle the sounds made by their bodies crossing terrain.
Arctic foxes shed their coat twice a year. In springtime, they lose their long winter coats, and in autumn they start acquiring a new winter pelt. A camouflaging change in coloration accompanies these molts. Arctic foxes come in two distinct color "morphs" (also called "forms" or "phases"): the white or polar and the blue morphs. The familiar pure white winter pelt is the white morph commonly associated with arctic foxes. After the spring molt, the white morph has a short summer pelt that appears gray to brown on the face, legs and upper body, while the under body fur is lighter colored. In contrast, the blue morph spends summer with a dark brown, black, light gray or steel blue coat that lightens during the winter. However, the blue morph never turns truly white in color. In the far north, 99% of all arctic foxes are white morphs, while blue morphs make up 90% of those species living on the Aleutian and Pribilof islands. Even though the white morph is genetically recessive, the amount of snow cover in the northern regions probably accounts for its predominance there.
Arctic foxes are medium-size foxes that weigh from 6-10 pounds (2.7-4.5 kg) and average 43 inches (109 cm) in length from head to tail. The tail length averages 15 inches (38 cm). Females (vixens) are slightly smaller than males.
In the wild:Average for those reaching adulthood is 3 years, although a few live as long as 10 years
At the zoo: 6-10 years.
In the wild: Arctic foxes are opportunistic and omnivorous feeders. Small mammals make up their preferred summer diet. However, they also eat plants, bird eggs, insects and fish. Winter diets include small marine mammals, birds, small seals, invertebrates and carrion.
At the zoo:Thawed frozen quail and mice, along with eggs, fruits and vegetables
Arctic foxes sexually mature at 9-10 months of age and usually form lifetime monogamous bonds. A typical family unit consists of a single adult male, an adult breeding female, one or more other adult females and the current year's offspring. The non-breeding females may be from the previous year's litter and serve as helpers for the new litter. When digging den sites, arctic foxes select dry, well-drained sandy soil or rocky areas usually with a southern exposure. Dens have a central chamber and multiple entrances for use in emergencies. Some dens have been in use by generations of foxes over the past few centuries.
Mating occurs in mid-spring, and the young (also called kits, pups, whelps or cubs) emerge in late spring or early summer after an average gestation of 52 days. Litters range from three to 12, with an average of seven. Short, dark, brown fur covers all newborn pups, and a single litter may contain both color morphs. By two months of age, the blue morph pups acquire their dark coloration, while the white morph pups develop the contrasting pattern of darker backs, heads and legs with lighter underbodies. Many pups do not reach adulthood, as there are high mortality rates among the young. The male guards the den and may lead intruders away from the den site. He also brings back food for both the mother and her pups. The pups begin eating meat at 1 month old and the mother weans them around one and half months after birth. By 3 months old, the pups begin to travel away from the den and participate in hunts. In autumn, the family unit gradually dissolves and these foxes spend the winters in solitary hunts for food.
Life in the Arctic is difficult, and the arctic fox is wonderfully adapted to live in very cold climates. While many mammals hibernate during the winter, the arctic fox does not. Its physical characteristics of superb insulation with fur and fat, combined with its stocky body shape enable the arctic fox to conserve body heat. Therefore, it can continue to remain active throughout the frigid months. During winters, their densely furred paws prevent heat loss through their feet. They also have the ability to restrict blood flow to the legs, which helps maintain core body heat. Lastly, the arctic fox has a tremendous tolerance for cold. Its metabolic rate only starts to increase at -58° Fahrenheit (-50° Celsius) and it only starts to shiver when temperatures reach -94° Fahrenheit ( -70° Celsius).
In addition to its physical attributes, the arctic fox has many behaviors that enable it to survive in the far north. They will eat virtually anything edible. Besides their preferred summer diet of lemmings and voles, coastal arctic foxes dine on nesting birds and their eggs. They also eat berries and seaweed. These foxes eat continually and thereby gain insulating fat during summer's plenty. For later consumption, they stash eggs and other surplus food in their dens or under rocks. When snow arrives, their sharp sense of hearing enables them to locate lemmings in burrows deep under the snow. Their excellent sense of smell helps detect white ptarmigans (a species of bird) against a background of snow and also leads them to carrion left behind by other predators. At times, arctic foxes remain near hoofstock (such as musk ox or caribou) waiting for one to die. They may even trail a polar bear in hopes of leftovers. They have been observed scavenging the remains of seals out on sea ice. When all else fails, they may consume feces of both humans and animals.
The arctic fox live in the zoo's award-winning Northern Trail. Other animals that can be seen at the Northern Trail are the Steller's sea-eagle, gray wolf, mountain goat, porcupine, river otter, Roosevelt elk and snowy owl.
Arctic foxes are not listed as an endangered species, and although arctic fox populations are abundant, at least three other species of foxes are listed as endangered.** However, arctic fox numbers have declined significantly in some of their native ranges. For centuries, indigenous peoples in Arctic regions sought the warm pelts of arctic foxes for their own use and for the fur trade more recently. In the past two centuries, fur trade considerably reduced numbers of arctic foxes in most of Scandinavia. The world fur trade in arctic fox pelts reached peaks in Siberia, Russia, with over 100,000 pelts taken in a single year. Currently in Alaska, this is reduced to around 4,000 pelts annually. The most prized and expensive pelts come from the rare black or steel blue color morphs. While the fur trade has declined, trapping still continues, and humans also farm captive foxes for their fur.
Other human activities affect arctic fox populations. In Iceland, farmers considered arctic foxes as pests that threatened their sheep and ducks. Thus, they have waged eradication campaigns since the 13th century. On Mednyi Island in the Commander Islands of Russia, domestic dogs introduced mange, which has drastically reduced arctic fox numbers. These foxes are also susceptible to rabies in some areas. Arctic foxes may acclimate themselves close to human settlements, creating further potential conflicts.
Arctic foxes face dangers from other sources; these animals (and especially their young) are prey to other predators. As the red fox's range expands into that of the arctic fox, these two species compete for food. The larger red fox also preys on the smaller arctic fox. Polar bears and wolves also threaten the arctic fox in two ways. When larger predators decline in numbers, they leave behind less carrion for the scavenging arctic fox. Bears and wolves also prey upon the arctic fox as a source of food. Despite all these hazards, arctic foxes are remarkably successful in most areas of their range.

Chris Matthews' Contribution To The Civil Discourse In Lansing
posted at 8:33 pm on December 11, 2012 by Duane Patterson
The host of Hardball apparently has not heard of anyone on the right not named Pat Buchanan or Michael Steele. Weighing in on the passage today of the right to work law in Michigan, Matthews decided to go after Scott Hagerstrom of Americans For Prosperity, who had a presence, and formerly a tent, in Lansing today that got flattened by the union mob. Matthews didn't want to hear a word Scott said, other than whether or not the Koch Brothers pay him, apparently.
Now I could have missed it, but I don't seem to remember Matthews badgering David Brock or Eric Boehlert of Media Matter for America who pays their salary repeatedly. For some reason, George Soros' involvement doesn't rise to the level of journalistic integrity to Matthews.
I'm shocked, shocked.

Getting rid of belly fat after childbirth
I have been left a gift from my last son in the form of a flabby stomach. I need to figure out how to get rid of this stomach. It's just not comfortable and I hate to go shopping because I don't know what to buy anymore.
My son was born by cesarean section. I had placenta previa and experienced a bad bleed that left me on bedrest the last two months leading up to the surgery. I lazed around bored and ate more than normal due to no activity. Well I think this contributed to the extra weight I now carry around my midsection.
Please help me figure out how to get rid of my stomach. It's the only area where I currently have extra weight. I'd like to feel comfortable in a bathing suit again.

Hi Nicole,
I had no problem dropping my weight after the first 4 bubs. But after #5, I was in my early 40's and, well, hormones change and it becomes MUCH harder to take the weight off.
Something that can help to balance those hormones and also reduce weight is to eat more raw foods. You can aim for 60% and go to 80% or 100% raw if you want. A raw food diet can be challenging when you're feeding a family (I know from experience) but you can always just add in the raw foods as you can, and reduce the foods that are causing you to keep the weight on.
Do you know your blood type? If you share your blood type I can share some foods that are known to put on weight and other foods that are known to take off weight according to how the lectins in the food interact with your blood type antigen.
A couple of really great things that can help increase energy and reduce weight is to drink one or two glasses of pure water every morning when you get up.
Follow that with some freshly pressed pure juices or a green smoothie. Here's a video of how to make a green smoothie - they are yummy and your kids will probably love them too.
If you want to lose the weight quickly, then reducing the fruit and increasing the vegetables is very helpful. The challenge with this is that the smoothie won't taste very good (it will taste like blended vegetables).
Here's a video that explains why green smoothies are so powerful at helping you lose weight. The more greens you use the faster the weight loss.
And here's a video showing you how to make a green smoothie (children love these, especially the little ones).
Lastly you'll want to work on toning that tummy. Sit ups work great, and be sure you're getting enough fresh air and exercise every day.
Hope this helps! Post back and let us know what you try.
Warm regards,

Hi Kate,
My blood type is O-Positive. I would really love some suggestions for raw food types. I haven't been able to lose my tummy since I had bub number five. I definitely want to change my way of eating so that both myself and family benefit and become healthier. I'm also not a water drinker so this is also something I have to change. I am going to incorporate water into my daily routine. I'm also going to try and make some of these smoothies. I know I need to make these changes and this is just one step in the right direction. I can't wait to get started.

Hi Nicole,
If you're not a water drinker, you can start with diluting your juice with 50% water. Once you've adjusted to that, gradually reduce the juice and increase the water.
Another thing you can do is to squeeze 1/2 a lemon into a glass of water each morning and drink that. If you want a little sweet, use honey, agave nectar or pure maple syrup (brown sugar is even better than white sugar). Stevia is an all natural herbal sweetener and a little goes a long way.
People with type O blood have the highest amount of stomach acid and they do very well on high quality animal protein. They will also do well on something like "The Zone" diet which is high protein, low carbohydrate.
Wheat and most other grains tend to put weight on the Type O person. You'll want to stay away from wheat and corn, and have only a little oatmeal/oats.
Here's an article that discusses which foods help to reduce weight in people with blood type O.
Please post back and let me know if you think you have been eating foods which tend to put weight on for the type O person, or if you think you're pretty much already following the blood type guidelines for weight loss.
Warm regards,

H Nicole,
To get rid of belly fat exercise regularly and avoid skipping meals specially breakfast. Increase your water intake and drink green tea daily. Do take low carb food meals and take more proteins in your meals. Manage stress with regular workouts and avoid eating shortly before going to bed.

Good Day kate,
I would really love to shed this belly fat. I gave birth 2 yrs ago and I still have this fat. I exercise, but not routinely. I don't eat at night and I am on a low carb. However I am still fat. My blood type is A. What should I eat and what should I do to be thin? thank you.

Dear 2jhoan,
It is really important to exercise daily for at least 30-40 minutes and for longer if you want to lose weight. You could incorporate your exercise regime into everyday life. For example, you could get an aerobics video that you do with your toddler dancing around too. Or take your toddler on a long walk in a toddler-worthy sling or pushchair.
Try to cut down on food which is high in sugar or saturated fat. At the start of the day you could make up some healthy snacks. Using natural foods is best for both you and your toddler. For example, you could eat carrot sticks with home-made hummus or fresh fruit and berries. A handful of nuts can give you lots of energy if you are feeling hungry.
When you say you don't eat at night what do you mean? It is best to eat regularly; actually little and often is best for your body's digestion. You can eat plenty as long as it is natural and low in fat and coupled with lots of exercise.
What would be a typical days meal plan for you?
Remember that eating a good breakfast with food that releases energy slowly is best for a healthy diet. For example, oatmeal with a banana chopped into it. What is healthy for your toddler to eat will also be healthy for you and help you to lose weight.
Finally, remember that it takes 9 months to grow a baby and, on average, it takes 18 months for a woman's body to go back to its pre-pregnancy pre-birth state. Be kind to yourself and take one step at a time and you will get there.
Warm wishes,

Dear 2jhoan,
It actually sounds like you are not eating enough filling wholewheat foods and healthy carbohydrates. I would substitute the snacks that you are eating for 3 or even four filling healthy meals a day. There are some excellent natural, wholefood recipe ideas here and I can personally recommend the roasted chickpea stew and the pumpkin and feta risotto. It is better to eat healthy main meals, skip the snacks and couple this with a daily exercise regime.
I hope this helps,

Hello Angela and Jhoan,
People with blood type A (and those with O) often find that wheat and corn products pack on the pounds. I would definitely avoid these. Wheat has gluten and is inflammatory to the body, so it's best for most people to avoid this - even whole wheat. Some people can tolerate Spelt better than wheat, as it is an Ancient form of wheat so some people have less of an allergic response to it, but spelt has gluten too, so best to avoid all gluten when possible.
Today I read an article that gluten can cause numerous health concerns including heart disease and malignancy (cancer). This is actually a very good article that discusses a study involving 30,000 patients and reported in the Journal of the american Medical Association. I would encourage you to read it so you understand what the symptoms of gluten sensitivity are (this can include gass, bloating or burping), what gluten insensitivity has to do with cancer, why the number of people with gluten sensitivity has skyrocketed in the last few years, and you will also find some excellent diet guidelines which can not only help prevent disease, but will also help you lose belly fat.
In looking at Jhoan's diet, I would say you are most likely not receiving enough high quality protein (dark green leafy vegetables, eggs, high quality fish, chicken, turkey) and you are most likely not getting enough healthy fats. Healthy fats can actually help you lose weight. Fats like avocados, coconut oil, olive oil, flax oil and cod liver oil all offer essential fatty acids that the body needs. These fats should replace hydrogenated fats (often used in fried foods and packaged foods), margarine and even butter (though butter is better than margarine, and grass fed butter can be very good for you, in moderation).
I would cut out nearly all grains, and all foods with sugar. The only grains I would eat would be a little gluten free oats or quinoa. In general, eating a diet high in dark green leafy vegetables and other fruits and vegetables, along with some high quality fats, nuts and seeds, and some high quality protein should help you in losing more weight. You can eat lots of fresh, raw, fruits and vegetables all day long, and lose weight simply because it's hard to get too many calories if the majority of your meals is fresh fruits and vegetables.
Hope this helps!

The Akron Beacon Journal and Ohio.com has bought out Rasor on the Zips.
Don't worry, I will still blog each day. I just have a different employer.
If you think about it, it makes sense. Writing an unbiased blog about the university that pays me is a giant conflict of interest.
Men's basketball
Here are some good stories from today's Buchtelite...
¥ Sports editor Adam Ferrise breaks down Akron's fearsome defense. ¥ I broke down Eastern Michigan. It's a different story than the preview I posted below. ¥ Ferrise talks about the BracketBuster matchup with Austin Peay. ¥ My column asks students why they don't attend Zips games. (The average student attendance is 358.) I'll post the column below...
I didn't see you at the Zips game Saturday.
Yes, you - the typical University of Akron student reading this column.
Only 379 of you showed up Saturday to watch the most dominant UA squad since the university went to Division I in 1981. And that is higher than the average student turnout this season of 358.
Yes, that means only 1.5 percent of the students care enough to attend a game for their Mid-American Conference-leading Zips.
On Saturday, they muzzled a potent Western Michigan offense. Akron put together some terrific possessions on the other side of the floor, too.
Watching these games, you needn't worry about boredom. They make defense fun to watch. Junior center Quade Milum hops like a track star. In fact, he is one. Most of his leaps are used to swat interior shots.
Akron also boasts a tremendous athlete at guard named Cedrick Middleton. With his slashing to the hoop, long-range shooting, speed and defense, he might be the most complete player in the Mid-American Conference.
Heck, I haven't even mentioned seniors Dru Joyce and Romeo Travis - LeBron's buddies who have been the anchors for Keith Dambrot since he took over as coach.
You're missing a lot. Oh yeah, and the games are free for students, too.
I don't mean for this to be a pep rally on a newspaper sheet. I see the lack of student attendance as a shame for each of you who sit home. You are missing high-energy basketball.
I am well-acquainted with your excuses. You are skeptical. This is not the ACC, or even the Missouri Valley Conference. A MAC school has little chance to make SportsCenter highlights, much less the Final Four. I won't dispute that.
A couple of my friends are non-Zips fans, but they gave the team a chance on Saturday. They left Rhodes Arena impressed by the product of basketball the Zips display. In fact, my buddies plan to return for the final five home games.
It shouldn't be all on the students, however. The athletic department must do its job, too. The game-day production is shoddy. Most of the students are sprinkled throughout the bleachers.
How about killing the lights during player introductions? What about placing a larger student section - not exclusively for AK-Rowdies - behind the visitors' bench? I'd like to see a halftime show that is moderately entertaining. (In other words, playing "Let's Make a Deal" with silly prizes is out). Let's also advertise with more billboards to create a buzz in the community.
I'm sick of hearing about Greg Oden and the Buckeyes, who play basketball 125 miles away from where we live. Let's have some hometown pride. Water cooler discussions should focus on Akron, not a school in Columbus.
So here's the plan. Find a friend and demand you guys spend a couple hours taking in a Zips game.
You will come back.
Men's basketball
Sorry about the delay, but here are some things to read between breaks in the action tonight...
¥ Tom Gaffney discusses several different issues regarding the crossover games and Northern Illinois. ¥ Danny Sheridan says Akron will win by nine. ¥ So do oddsmakers.
Akron minus nine is exactly what I predicted the line at yesterday. Therefore, I can't really make a guess either way.
You can watch the game through NIU's site by clicking here. Then click the Akron game. Then click "watch" on the right side of the screen. It should work as long as you have a new version of Internet Explorer.

Deloitte fined $10M
over misconduct
Deloitte has agreed to a $10 million fine and a one-year ban from advising banks chartered in New York as part of a settlement with state officials. The move stemmed from what state authorities called "misconduct, violations of law, and lack of autonomy" during Deloitte's work for Standard Chartered, a British bank accused of illicitly transferring billions of dollars on behalf of Iran.
Obama says change
likely at the Fed
President Barack Obama has given the clearest signal yet that Chairman Ben Bernanke will likely leave the Federal Reserve when his term ends in January. During an interview with PBS' Charlie Rose, Obama said Bernanke has "already stayed a lot longer than he wanted or he was supposed to."
Boeing nets orders
for 102 stretch 787s
Boeing Co. won big orders from five customers for a stretched-out version of its 787 Dreamliner jet at the Paris Air Show Tuesday, further evidence of a strengthening market for long-haul jets. Boeing said it has commitments for 102 jets from Air Lease Corp., Singapore Airlines, United Airlines, International Airlines Group and GE Capital Aviation Services.
European car sales
hit a 20-year low
European car sales tumbled again in May, reaching their lowest level in 20 years, but analysts and industry officials said the market might have finally begun to bottom out. Sales fell 5.9 percent from a year earlier, to 1,042,742 units, the smallest number sold since May 1993.
Housing starts
climb in May
U.S. builders stepped up home construction in May and applied for permits to build single-family homes at the fastest pace in five years. The gains show housing remains a key source of growth for the economy. The overall pace of homes rose 6.8 percent, which offset part of the 14.8 percent decline in April.
20K-seat arena
set for Vegas Strip
Years of talk about building an arena capable of hosting professional sports yielded an announcement Tuesday that MGM Resorts International and entertainment company AEG will build a privately financed 20,000-seat indoor venue on the Las Vegas Strip. Construction on the $350 million arena should start next summer on land that MGM Resorts owns between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo resorts. Completion is expected by spring 2016.
Adobe sees 2Q
profit decline
Adobe Systems Inc. has reported a profit of $76.5 million, or 15 cents a share, for the second quarter of its 2013 fiscal year, compared with a profit of $233.8 million, or 45 cents per share, for the same period a year ago. Revenue in its latest quarter ended May 31 fell to $1 billion. A year ago, Adobe reported second quarter revenue of $1.1 billion.

FOX Business News contributors agree: "As Kerry's numbers increase, the market seems to go down"; too bad it's not accurate
During a panel discussion on the effect of politics on the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the July 22 edition of Your World w/ Neil Cavuto, FOX Business News contributor Meredith Whitney said, "As [Senator John] Kerry's numbers increase, the market seems to go down on almost a one-for-one correlation" -- an erroneous claim for which she provided no evidence. Nonetheless, FOX News business analyst and contributor Scott Bleier [1] "totally" agreed.
From the July 22 edition of FOX News Channel's Your World w/ Neil Cavuto:
CAVUTO: Meredith, do you agree with that, that that's what's dominating the theme -- fears that this president might not get reelected?
WHITNEY: I think that's one easy way, uh, easy point you can point to in terms of why businesses aren't spending more. A lot of managers are using the uncertainty over the election to hold off plans on hiring. ... As [Senator John] Kerry's numbers increase, the market seems to go down on almost a one-for-one correlation.
CAVUTO: Scott, do you buy that -- that the better things look for Senator Kerry, the worse things look for the market?
BLEIER: I have to agree with it totally.
In fact, a comparison of Kerry's poll numbers with the performance of the Dow presents a different reality. At the beginning of the segment, Cavuto introduced this graph, saying of the Dow, "It's just a number, but it's a powerfully important psychological one":
[screen shot of "DOW SINCE MAY" graph from the first minute of the July 22 edition of Your World w/ Neil Cavuto]* [2]
In contrast with the Dow's fluctuations, Gallup poll numbers [3] for Kerry-Edwards '04 during the same time period have hovered around the 50 percent mark:
As Media Matters for America reported on July 6 [4], Cavuto said on his show that the stock market was experiencing an "Edwards Dip" as a result of Kerry's announcement that he had chosen Senator John Edwards (D-NC) as his vice-presidential running mate. Cavuto made the statement despite FOX News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes's [5] past repudiation [6] of the practice of news outlets drawing causal connections between statements by political figures and short-term stock market behavior.
