TOKYO Cheap Marlos Moreno Jersey , April 22 (Xinhua) -- Japan's Nikkei stock index closed 0. 85 percent lower Tuesday as the yen's rise and a lack of firm cues reversed early gains and sent investors to the sidelines ahead of Japan's earnings season later this week.


Local brokers said that Wall Street's rise overnight spurred some short-covering early on, but investors released positions in later trade amid a lack of firm incentives to chase issues higher and reversed the market's earlier gains amid a thin day of trading.


Yutaka Miura, a senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities Co., said that trading clues were lacking in Japan and as a result the trading volume Tuesday hit the second lowest level this year.


Other strategists pointed to Japan's central bank staying pat on easing its monetary policy, despite the April 1 tax hike and a lofty inflation target, which senior economists feel the Bank of Japan will struggle to meet in its allotted timeframe Cheap Leroy Sane Jersey , as zapping the hope some investors had been counting on to take up fresh positions.


"Investors seem to be giving up hope that the BOJ will opt for more monetary easing at its upcoming April 30 meeting. However remote it might actually be, some had been using it as a trading factor," said Chibagin Asset Management general manager Yoshihiro Okumura.


Investors were largely in wait-and-see mode ahead of a Japan-U. S. summit scheduled to kick off tomorrow, brokers added, with eyes firmly trained on companies' earnings projections for this fiscal year.


The Nikkei Stock Average lost 123.61 points from Monday to close at 14,388.77 Cheap Kyle Walker Jersey , while the broader Topix index dropped 8.90 points, or 0.76 percent, to end the day at 1,162.5.


Japan's major brokerages and megabanks took a pummeling and paper companies were also among the day's notable decliners.


Among banking issues, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial stumbled 2.3 percent and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group lost 1.4 percent.


Brokerages also came under selling pressure, with IwaiCosmo Holdings Inc. plunging 5.2 percent to 1 Cheap Kevin De Bruyne Jersey ,086 yen, while Kosei Securities Co. retreated 4.2 percent to 207 yen. Daiwa Securities Group, meanwhile, slumped 3.0 percent and Nomura Holdings relinquished 1.8 percent.


Japan's biggest paper company Oji Holdings Corp. fell 2.7 percent to 436 yen, while rival Nippon Paper Industries Co., tumbled 4.2 percent to 1 Cheap Kelechi Iheanacho Jersey ,883 yen. Daio Paper Corp., for its part, also closed in negative territory, falling 4.2 percent to close at 1,083 yen.


Yaskawa, an electronic component maker Cheap John Stones Jersey , was also among the day' s biggest losers, with the firm's stock diving 5.1 percent to 1, 260 yen, following the company's fiscal 2014 results and guidance coming in below median analysts' expectations.


Export-related issues also trended lower on a comparatively firm yen, with consumer electronics giant Sony losing 1.7 percent to 1,899 yen while rival Panasonic fell 1 percent to finish at 1 Cheap Jason Denayer Jersey , 112 yen.


But tire makers found traction Tuesday, following Goldman Sachs saying the industry's profitability is likely to improve on falling prices for rubber, and Bridgestone accelerated 2.5 percent to 3,612 yen, while Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. added 1.7 percent to 1,432 yen.


Trading volume on Tuesday dropped to 1.65 billion shares on the Tokyo Exchange's First Section Cheap Ilkay Gundogan Jersey , down from Monday's volume of 1.77 billion shares, with declining issues trumping advancing ones by 1, 397 to 286.

>San Diego Schools Choice Program Means More Opportunities for Students but More Work for Parents

More than one-third of the students in the San Diego schools were enrolled in the Choice Program for the 2005-2006 school year. The program gives parents the ability to transfer their children from their assigned school to one that offers more academic opportunities or specific school attributes. The program offers six methods of eligibility.


Program Improvement School Choice. Children assigned to San Diego schools that have failed the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) academic standards may apply to better-ranked San Diego schools. Students applying for transfer under this program generally receive a higher priority than others and receive free transportation. If in the future the assigned San Diego schools pass the NCLB standards, parents may choose to move their children back to the assigned schools or continue in the new schools.


Magnet Schools Program. These San Diego schools are each based upon a theme, such as performing arts Cheap Gabriel Jesus Jersey , with the curriculum centered around it. Though they provide all the state required basics, students can immerse themselves in the particular subject; whereas in other schools, the theme may only be offered as an elective class or two. Magnet schools are designed to attract a diverse cross section of students from throughout the city. Free transportation is provided to students who live outside a specific mileage range. Acceptance priority is given based upon:


?Demographics ? they encourage San Diego schools students living in demographic areas different from where the Magnet School is located to apply,
?Continuity ? San Diego schools students in a performing arts elementary school, for example, would be given acceptance priority when applying to a performing arts middle and high school Cheap Fernando Jersey ,
?Siblings ? San Diego schools
