Red Sox promote pitcher Prior to Triple-A

Associated Press Sports

updated 6:23 p.m. ET June 1, 2012

TORONTO (AP) - Six years after he last pitched in the major leagues, Mark Prior has been promoted to Triple-A.

Boston assigned the oft-injured right-hander to their Triple-A affiliate in Pawtucket on Friday. Prior, who signed a minor league contract with the Red Sox on May 2, had been at extended spring training in Florida.

Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine called Prior's comeback attempt a "great story." A former starter, Prior has been pitching out of the bullpen since signing with Boston.

Prior was the second overall pick when he was chosen by the Chicago Cubs in the 2001 amateur draft. He finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting in 2003, after going 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA, but his career was derailed by a serious shoulder injury and other ailments.

Prior pitched in 11 games at three levels of the New York Yankees system in 2011, going 0-0 with a 2.25 ERA in 12 innings.

Stocks tumble after weak jobs report

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

By msnbc.com news services

Updated at 11:20 a.m. ET: Stock prices plunged on Wall Street Friday after a report showed job growth in May was the weakest in a year and employers added fewer jobs in the prior two months than previously reported -- another blow to investors worried about global growth.

The Dow Jones industrial average was lately down over 200 points, wiping out all its gains for the year. Other stocks indexes also fell sharply. The VIX index, a measure of investor fear, rose to levels not seen in five months.

The Labor Department?s latest jobs report showed U.S. employers created only 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year, as the nation?s unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent in April -- the first increase in 11 months.

The government also said the economy created far fewer jobs in the previous two months than first thought, revising numbers down to show 49,000 fewer jobs created.

The market had discounted a mildly negative employment report, said Barton Biggs, a hedge fund manager at Traxis Partners.

?But it hadn?t discounted the kind of numbers we saw this morning,? he told CNBC Friday.

Biggs also warned that the chance of a ?mild double-dip recession? is now about 40 percent.

?I?m not that bearish about the economy and the market, but am I ready to step in in a big way? No,? he said.

The dismal jobs data are likely to stoke fears that the U.S. economy is struggling. It could also weigh on President Barack Obama's re-election hopes and lead the U.S. Federal Reserve to take more steps to prop up the economy.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney called the jobs report ?devastating news? and a sign that President Obama's economic policies have failed.

"Today's weak jobs report is devastating news for American workers and American families," he said in a statement.
He called the May report "a harsh indictment of the President's handling of the economy."

"It is now clear to everyone that President Obama's policies have failed to achieve their goals and that the Obama economy is crushing America's middle class. The president's re-election slogan may be 'forward,' but it seems like we've been moving backward," he said.

The troubles in the euro zone were also a focus for Wall Street, as investors digested the latest economic data from the region.

Unemployment the euro zone was 11 percent in April. The figure was unchanged from March, but still at the highest level since records started in 1995. Spain?s had the highest rate in the region at 24.3 percent.

Treasury yields hit their lowest level in hundreds of years and global stock indexes dropped toward 2012 lows as investors scrambled for lifelines amid worries about Spain's parlous finances and China's growth outlook.

Weighing on the global demand outlook: China's official purchasing managers' index fell to 50.4 in May from April's 13-month high of 53.3.

The German two-year bond yield fell below zero for the first time, meaning investors are paying for the right to hold that debt. Other "safe havens" -- Denmark and Switzerland -- said they were prepared to set negative interest rates to prevent their currencies spiraling.

Oil fell below the psychologically key level of $100 a barrel, striking an eight-month low.

"We've had constant worries about Greece, Spain, the euro, poor data from the U.S., and overnight the Chinese data was not positive," said Tony Machacek, an oil futures broker at Jefferies Bache.

The euro hit its lowest against the dollar in nearly two years while 10- and 30-year German Bund yields hit all-time lows. The dollar index rose to a 21-month high.

Madrid's need to recapitalize its troubled banks and shore up its heavily indebted regions is the latest focus for turbulent markets, though IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde denied late on Thursday that the Fund was preparing financial assistance for Spain.

Spaniards alarmed by the dire state of their banks are squirreling money abroad at the fastest rate since records began, figures showed on Thursday.

Earlier, European stocks fell to their lowest levels this year.

Reuters contributed to this report.

The unemployment rate ticks up to 8.2 percent after the May unemployment report showed US employers added a meager 69,000 jobs for the month. A CNBC panel discusses the data.

HP Blogs - 5 ways to tell if your small business network can ... - The ...

By TerryAnn Fitzgerald, SMB Solutions Marketing Manager, HP Networking

?

I?ve always had a special respect for small business leaders. In addition to running the business, you?re often the IT manager by default. Your budget is tight. And yet somehow, you?re tasked with making technology the great equalizer, the secret weapon to compete with bigger companies. But as your business grows is your network able to grow with you?

?

Technology can certainly help today?s small business. And at no other time has there been such an array of powerful technologies at your disposal: e-commerce platforms to reach a global marketplace; blogs, Twitter and social networks to communicate directly with customers; and rich-media applications such as Skype and Google+ Hangouts to improve employee collaboration.

?

But in speaking with small business leaders, it?s clear that the range of technology options is both a blessing and a curse. With so much choice, where do you invest? What technology will most positively impact your business, deliver the most bang for your buck, and enable business growth? ?

?

Growth-ready networks

My advice is to first invest in your network. And not any old network, but a growth-ready network. What do I mean by growth ready? Well, read on for an explanation and I?ll also summarize the different types of networks you should consider.

?

Let?s begin by asking some questions about your current network and its ability to support your growing business. Check your network against these five characteristics of growth-ready networks.

?

1. Is it responsive? Your network should be able to easily handle spikes in network traffic.
2. Is it flexible? Your network should easily expand as you add new components or reconfigure when devices are removed. You should be able to unplug and install the core equipment anywhere in your building, even where there are no power outlets.
3. Is it easy to deploy and manage? Your network gear should be plug-and-play and offer an intuitive, Web-based management interface so that non-technical staff can get equipment up and running, quickly.
4. Is it scalable? Can you add new users, equipment and applications without requiring a fork-lift upgrade every time?
5. Is it standards-based? A network that supports industry standards, such as IEEE 802.11 for wireless networking removes worry about compatibility as install other standards-based equipment.

?

Basic vs. advanced networks

A small business growth-ready network typically falls into one of two categories: basic or advanced. With a basic network, you don?t have to do a lot of customization work because all the equipment is plug-and-play. A basic network is ideal if you have a handful of servers, a wired infrastructure and up to 25 employees.

?

If you want to configure your network, opt for an advanced network?it will also give you a higher-level of performance.

?

Regardless of network type, consider the total cost of ownership (TCO). Your network TCO will be based on not just equipment and maintenance, but any employee training you?ll need to provide, your level of network support, warranties and service costs.

?

A network built to last

If you?re contemplating technology investments, think seriously about your network. Your network touches everything?employees, applications, communications and customers. If you build a growth-ready network, you?ll have a foundation for the latest applications and technologies, and long-term business growth.

?

If you manage IT in your small business, I salute you. I know the challenges you?re up against.

?

To help you navigate the choices of networking equipment available to you, I invite you to read our white paper, which goes into more details about the issues I?ve covered in this post. Download the paper ?A network that can support your growing small business,? today.

4k should be enough to contain most information a paramedic might need (alergies, medication), esp. if that info is app generated (shortcodes, compression).

Just put the info in to QR.
