Career Honors & Awards
2015 Season Highlights
Sophomore Season [2014]
Stokes batted .297 in 2014, and she led the team with 16 stolen bases, which tied for the fifth-highest sophomore total in school history. By swinging away more, Stokes also saw an increase in her power numbers from her freshman to her sophomore season. In addition to raising her batting average .033, Stokes set career highs in doubles, triples, homers and extra-base hits. She produced seven doubles in 2014 after not recording any doubles as a freshman. Stokes added four triples, the third-highest sophomore total in school history. She also doubled her freshman home run total with four homers in 2014. The increased power helped Stokes produce 24 RBIs, while her .445 slugging percentage was a .117 improvement from her freshman season. Stokes also came through in the clutch, batting .327 (17-for-52) with runners in scoring position and .356 (21-for-59) with two outs, producing 10 of her 24 RBIs with two outs.
Even with the increased power and run production, Stokes was still one of Nebraska's best hitters at reaching base. She ranked third on the team with 27 walks, and her .407 on-base percentage was second only to first-team All-American Taylor Edwards. Stokes not only drew a career-high 27 walks, she also struck out three fewer times in 2014 than she did in 2013, despite 57 more at bats.
Stokes finished with 13 multi-hit games and seven multi-RBI efforts as a sophomore. She hit .317 during the Big Ten Conference season with a .427 on-base percentage. Stokes swiped nine bases in 12 tries during league play, the third-highest total in the conference. Stokes' strong second half of the season was highlighted by her performance in the NCAA Tournament, when she batted .364 (8-for-22) to post the Huskers' second-highest postseason batting average. Stokes added one double, one triple, one homer and seven RBIs in Nebraska's seven NCAA Tournament contests.
Stokes began her sophomore season by belting a two-run homer in the season opener against UTEP. She hit safely in each of her first five games of the season and eight of her first nine contests. She hit her second homer of the season against All-American Ally Carda and No. 8 UCLA on Feb. 23, before producing her first career triple and a double to help the Huskers upset No. 13 Oklahoma on March 1.
Over the final 20 games of the season, Stokes was 22-for-59 (.373) with three doubles, two homers, one triple and nine RBIs. She produced seven multi-hit efforts during that stretch, while also drawing seven walks and stealing eight bases. In the NCAA Columbia (Mo.) Regional, Stokes finished 6-for-14 (.429) with a homer, a double and seven RBIs. She produced five RBIs in Nebraska's two victories over No. 15 Missouri that clinched the Huskers' regional championship.
Off the field, Stokes was named to Nebraska's 2014 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.
Freshman Season [2013]
Stokes' career got off to an outstanding start, as she hit .366 in the month of February and enjoyed a season average at or above .400 for 12 of Nebraska's first 15 games. She began her career with back-to-back multi-hit games, going 5-for-10 with a triple, an RBI and two runs scored on the opening day of the season. Stokes picked up two more three-hit games during an outstanding second weekend, when she went 8-for-12 (.750). She also drew five walks in five games the second weekend, highlighting a streak of 10 consecutive games where she drew at least one walk and a career-opening streak of 13 straight games reaching base safely.
After going 4-for-8 with three runs scored and three stolen bases in a doubleheader at Oklahoma State on March 3, the speedy Stokes showcased her power over the next two weeks. She hit her first career home run – an inside-the-park shot – at Wichita State on March 9 to break a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning. One week later, Stokes blasted a walk-off, three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to power the Huskers past New Mexico State. Both of her two home runs in 2013 were game-winning homers in the seventh inning or later.
Stokes produced nine multi-hit games and two multi-RBI efforts in 2013. She also drew at least one walk in 22 games, while scoring at least one run in 27 contests. Stokes drew multiple walks on three occasions and scored multiple runs in nine games.
Defensively, Stokes committed four errors in the outfield, although she owned a 1.000 fielding percentage in left field and made several diving plays down the stretch.
Stokes was East's starting center fielder and leadoff hitter each of her four seasons. She boasted an impressive .605 batting average in her high school career, collecting 181 hits, nine doubles, 13 triples and one home run, while producing 67 RBIs and 55 walks. On the basepaths, Stokes scored 163 career runs, while stealing 87 bases in only 91 attempts.
Stokes set the top three single-season marks in Olathe East history for batting average and on-base percentage, a noteworthy accomplishment for a program that has produced more than 40 scholarship athletes at the collegiate level. She also owns the top three marks for runs scored and steals in a season. Stokes is also East's all-time career record holder with a .605 batting average, 181 hits, 163 runs scored and 87 steals.
In her senior season, Stokes hit .603 (47-for-78) with two doubles, four triples and 21 RBIs. She drew 16 walks and struck out only twice while boasting a .656 on-base percentage. Stokes also stole 29 bases in 30 attempts, while scoring 48 runs. She delivered in clutch situations, batting .750 (18-for-24) with runners in scoring position.
As a junior in 2011, Stokes batted .631, collecting 53 hits in only 84 at bats. She added seven triples, three doubles and one home run, while totaling 48 runs scored, 29 RBIs, 23 stolen bases and a .686 on-base percentage. Stokes was also clutch at driving in runs out of her leadoff spot, batting .871 (27-for-31) with runners in scoring position.
Her 48 runs scored were a school record, topping her mark from the previous season, while her average and on-base percentage both ranked second in school history, trailing only the marks from her sophomore season. Her 53 hits also ranked second in Olathe East history and were just two shy of the school record set by former Kansas Jayhawk Val Chapple. Stokes also drew 17 walks as a junior, the second-highest total in school history behind only Teddi Ewing, a four-year starter for Michigan from 2006 to 2009.
Stokes was named an NFCA first-team All-American as a junior. She was joined on the first team by Jordan Bettiol, now a Husker junior outfielder.
Stokes was a second-team All-American as a sophomore in 2010. As a sophomore, Stokes batted .653 (49-for-75) with three doubles, two triples, 41 runs scored, 10 RBIs, a .710 on-base percentage and 28 stolen bases in only 29 attempts. She set school records for batting average, on-base percentage and stolen bases.
As a freshman, Stokes immediately earned the starting job in center field, as well as the role as the Hawks' leadoff hitter. She batted .532 (33-for-62) with 26 runs scored, 11 sacrifices, seven stolen bases and a .568 on-base percentage.
In her high school career, Stokes helped lead Olathe East to a pair of regional championships and three top-five finishes at the Kansas 6A state tournament, including the 2012 state championship, when the Hawks ranked 13th nationally. Olathe East owned an 88-10 record during her career. Stokes played her travel ball for the DeMarini Zephyrs.

OJ bid for new trial starting in Las Vegas court
But Grasso said he thought Simpson should testify before the jury.
During trial, Simpson contends, Galanter "vigorously discouraged" him not to testify, and never told him that prosecutors were willing to let him plead guilty to charges that would have gotten him a minimum of two years in prison.
"He consistently told me the state could not prove its case because I acted within my rights in retaking my own property," Simpson said in a sworn statement outlining what he plans to say when he testifies this week.
Some who've watched the Simpson saga say he might have a chance.
"I think there's a lot to this," said John Momot, a lawyer nearing 40 years of criminal defense in Las Vegas who played himself in the 1995 movie "Casino" and provided expert cable TV commentary during Simpson's monthlong trial in September 2008.
"I don't think O.J. Simpson could ever get a fair trial, period, based on his reputation from California," Momot said. "But based on these allegations, if you took Joe Jones from the street and put him in the same situation, I think it would be possible he'd get a new trial."
Simpson's lawyers also say that while continuing to represent Simpson through oral arguments in a failed 2010 appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court, Galanter kept a lid on his own behind-the-scenes involvement. That nearly extinguished any chance Simpson had to claim ineffective representation in state or federal courts.

Renee Fleming Sings At MSU's Wharton Center
By Scott Pohl
Concerts, Grammys, performing all over the world...opera star Renee Fleming has done it all.
Tonight, the soprano will perform in East Lansing for the first time ever.
WKAR's Scott Pohl spoke with Renee Fleming about her latest album, singing for Queen Elizabeth II, and the program she has planned for MSU's Wharton Center for Performing Arts.
I will never forget meeting Sir Georg Solti and walking into his studio...and seeing 30 (Grammys) on his windowsill. Renee Fleming
Her program for tonight includes Handel arias, all in English; three Strauss pieces; selections from Andre Previn's "A Streetcar Named Desire"; and some popular Italian arias. She'll be accompanied by pianist Richard Bado.
Fleming's album "Poemes" recently earned her a fourth Grammy award. She says winning Grammys never gets old.

Spider-Man has always had a colorful gallery of villains. While formidable, none, save Norman Osborn, really proved to be deadly. Most had cool designs but they never really gave Spider-Man too much of a fight. But then came along Eddie Brock.
Eddie first appeared as a newspaper reporter. He might have been a bit of a jerk but that didn't make him a Spider-Man villain. Eddie Brock got a tip as to who the Sin Eater was. Running the story was big for his career. When Spider-Man captured the true Sin Eater and Eddie was fired for writing a false story, his hatred for Spider-Man began.
Contemplating ending it all, the alien symbiote suit found him, they joined and Venom was born. Armed with Spider-Man's powers and knowing his secret identity, Eddie became a deadly enemy. Constantly threatening to eat Spider-Man's brains, there was no limit to what Eddie would do as Venom. Up until he decided to become a lethal protector and moved away from being a pure villain. Now as Anti-Venom, Eddie is adamant that he wants to be a hero. Is this the best move for the character?== TEASER ==
The reality is, when villains become overly popular, the common practice is to turn them into a hero or anti-hero. Whether it's the fans or the publishers, the idea of a deadly insane killer having their own comic or miniseries is something we don't usually see.
Sometimes villains can successfully be turned good without the character completely losing their identity like Magneto or Emma Frost. Other times they simply revert back to their dark ways like Sabretooth or Sandman. The premise of the Thunderbolts is villains become heroes. Eddie Brock/Venom as a hero just never felt right.
The name Anti-Venom may not be the best but Eddie's new look and powers have potential. Eddie just hasn't been cool since he turned into a hero. There are benefits such as more exposure. I mentioned villains not being able to or allowed to carry their own books. This means they're limited to their appearances as the villain fighting a hero in the hero's book.
We all know the hero always wins and so the villain ends up looking like a chump. If a villain continued to pop into different styles, they lose their charm. Being defeated in battle after battle makes them look bad.
Seeing Eddie talk about trying to be a hero, even though he's been claiming to want to be one for years, still doesn't sound right. He almost sounds silly and juvenile claiming to have the desire to fight the real bad guys. This isn't the Eddie Brock I knew and enjoyed. Eddie needs to regain that deadly edge he once had. I'm not saying he needs to start trying to eat people's brains again but what it comes down to is, Eddie seems like a wuss.
I know I can't be the only one that wants to see Eddie simply cut loose again. In Amazing Spider-Man #663, he's chasing a drug dealer trying to find Mr. Negative. After he can't get information out of him, he simply tosses him in the river. Ooooh, real scary Mr. Brock. I'm not saying he should rip off his head or anything but throwing someone into the water isn't that big of a deal, even if the guy didn't have a towel to dry off afterwards.
The solution Marvel will most likely stick to is continue to make him an anti-hero. He could be a cold vigilante like Punisher and unleash his violent ways on the scum of the Earth. The execution of this still needs work.
In his recent miniseries, Anti-Venom: New Ways to Live, Eddie trying to save a junkie felt absurd. It's important for a character to have a human side so we can relate to them easier, especially when they're tearing their enemies apart. Eddie needs to return to his darker roots. He doesn't have to be a pure villain since they often come across as one-dimensional. Let's see a less child-like Eddie use his new powers to tear apart his enemies. Harping on about wanting to be taken seriously and not have people think he's crazy makes him sound...crazy.
I don't want Eddie necessarily to become a full-on villain again. That reduces him to villain-of-the-month appearances. It's great that he wants to do the right thing but the way he says it makes him sound too childish. Where is the harsh-talking Eddie Brock we used to have? He's been around for too long to be reduced to this need-for-redemption state. I want to see him get raw on his enemies. We don't need a touchy-feely Eddie Brock. We need something closer to what he once was.

Product Details
Jeep Wrangler 1987-2006, Right and Left Hood Vents by Daystar®, Color: Black, Pair. With Mounting Hardware. Add dramatic style to your vehicle with these custom-fitted hood louvers that add ventilation for your engine bay to keep under hood temperatures down. A vent template is supplied to guide in the hole-cutting process, but professional installation may be preferred. Constructed of durable hard polyurethane, these vent slats are extremely resistant to chips, scrapes, and deterioration from salt, UV rays, and other pollutants. Limited lifetime warranty.
- Includes two complete louver sets for both sides of your hood (5 slats for each side)
- Custom shaped and sized to fit the contours of your vehicle's hood
- Installation is easy with instructions and template included to show locations where to create holes for ventilation
- Provides functional air flow ventilation to effectively reduce under hood temperatures
- Adds a look to your vehicle that says a tuned, high performance engine is under the hood
- Polyurethane is highly resistant to warping or flexing under high heat conditions
- Polyurethane vent louvers bolt on with screws, and are designed for easy painting
- Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty
- Proudly manufactured in the United States
One of the first areas people see when looking at your vehicle is its hood. For aerodynamics, the majority of today's cars and trucks feature plain, uninspired hood surfaces that blend in with everything else on the road. Vehicles that differ from that norm do so because more powerful engines underneath need better ventilation. When you see a vehicle with factory vented grille sections on the hood, it's a safe bet more cylinders, a turbocharger, or a supercharger lurk underneath. For those who wish to increase under hood airflow, keep engine temperatures cooler, and increase the visual impact of a vehicle, Daystar offers the Hood Vent louver kit.
Similar to ones found on high performance vehicles and racecars, this set of hood vents requires only minor cutting and drilling to become fully functional. A template is included that shows you exactly what to do to create a series of holes that provide excellent flow-through engine ventilation. The hood vents are manufactured from high-pressure injected polyurethane to provide the highest quality, durability, and resistance to heat. Once installed, they won't warp, expand or crack the way inferior materials can. Should you prefer to customize your louvers, they are designed to be painted as well. Daystar proudly manufactures the Hood Vent kit in the United States, and backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.79.99Brand: Daystar Part Number: KJ71042BK UPC: 618089004385 This part is compatible with 20 vehicle(s)
Founded in 1977 in Arizona, Daystar® Products International has been instrumental in the research, development, and use of polyurethane components for off- and on-road vehicles of all types. The company is known worldwide for the quality and reliability of their lift kits, engine/trans mounts, suspension bushings, protective boots, winch accessories, and other useful interior products. Ensuring quality control remains high is a core company value at DayStar, and all engineering, manufacturing, and quality control functions are unified in one integrated location. Since 2000, all DayStar processes have been certified by the International Organization for Standardization for best business practices, and the level of quality and refinement each set of their products possess truly shows that Daystar is driven by superior design.

An Aiken County man was detained in Bamberg County on Monday after he tried to run over three lawmen during a chase, according to the Bamberg County Sheriff's Office.
Tracy David Cook, 39, of East Street in Beech Island, was charged with three counts of attempted murder, manufacture and distribution of cocaine, distributing or manufacturing cocaine within a half-mile of a school, possession of burglary tools, possession of a schedule IV controlled substance with intent to distribute, driving under suspension and reckless driving. He was placed in the Bamberg County detention center, where he remained on Thursday afternoon with no bond.
The incident happened on Monday about 1:30 p.m., according to a sheriff's report. A resident called police to report a truck similar to Cook's that had been seen on video with a suspect stealing two trailers from his property.
Officers located the truck on Bridge Street in Bamberg, but while attempting to stop Cook, he sped off, leading officers to a motel where he made "numerous traffic infractions."
Cook refused to exit the vehicle, according to the report. He backed the vehicle up toward the officers, spinning the tires. He then pulled forward, then put the vehicle in reverse a second time and backed up at "full throttle" toward three officers.
Cook's vehicle was disabled as it backed toward the officers, the report stated. The truck raced across the yard of the motel, and Cook continued driving at a high rate of speed until he abandoned the vehicle on McGee Street near the wood line and fled on foot.
Officers from the Bamberg County Sheriff's Office, the Bamberg Police Department, the Denmark Police Department, the Ehrhardt Police Department and the S.C. Department of Natural Resources set up a perimeter, according to the report. Cook was found and arrested after a brief search with additional help from a S.C. State Law Enforcement Division helicopter and a bloodhound tracking team.
"Nobody was injured," said Chief Deputy Ben Hay. "It was a very close call, though."
Cook was denied bond at a Bamberg County magistrate on Wednesday.

Harlan County High School students are finding new dual credit options as they register for next year's classes.
"I encourage parents to look at this wonderful opportunity on earning college credits while still in high school. The best part is they can do this at a fraction of the cost of taking the classes while in college," said Harlan County Schools Superintendent Mike Howard. "Please talk to your children about taking advantage of this and substantially jump start their college education."
Students now have an offering of 42 dual credit hours on-site at HCHS, said Brent Roark, assistant superintendent of instruction.
Additional dual credit classes are offered on the Harlan campus of Southeast Kentucky Community & Technical College, he said. Those students are bused from the high school to the SKCTC campus in Harlan daily for a variety of career and industrial classes, also leading to a tremendous jump on their college experience.
Roark said he was excited SKCTC will be adding Introduction to Literature and Elementary Spanish for the 2014-2015 school year at the high school. Also, two four-hour courses in biology (Bio 137 and 139) — anatomy and physiology — will be offered with labs, he said.
"These fit every single medical major," said Roark, noting students will complete both courses by using only one-period for all three trimesters.
Courses also offered are English 101, History 108 and 109, Math 150 (college algebra), Psychology 110, Communications 180 (basic public speaking), Culinary 100 (introduction to culinary) and Visual Communications 100.
The previous dual credit photography class is being replaced with Humanities 202, Appalachian Studies. This meets cultural studies and humanities requirements at the college level, he said.
"The dual credit program at Harlan County High School affords many of our students the unique opportunity to pursue college hours while still in high school," said Guidance Counselor Stephanie Reynolds. "The dual credit program is a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience a college level curriculum in conjunction with their high school course load. This program is also an excellent way for students and parents to save money on college courses by taking advantage of drastically reduced tuition rates."
The exact rate for tuition is pending an anticipated percentage increase from the community college system. However, most of the classes will only cost a $50 processing fee. The tuition classes — half-price of taking the classes on a college campus — is estimated at about $234 per class.
Only dual credit classes taught by the college faculty require payment of the half price tuition. The classes are anatomy, physiology, basic public speaking and Appalachian studies.
The other courses will be taught by high school faculty, requiring only a $50 processing fee.
Roark said he commends the college administration and staff for providing the dual credit opportunities to Harlan County students. "I extend my utmost appreciation to Dr. (Lynn) Moore, Dr. (Wheeler) Conover and Carlton Hughes and all of the SKCTC staff for the support of our students and the dual credit program," he said.
Roark credits the success of the program at HCHS to Reynolds' leadership, serving as the school's dual credit liaison.
"If it wasn't for her, it would fall apart," he said. "She makes it happen, getting the classes set up and students enrolled. Both Mrs. Reynolds and Mr. (Scott) Shepherd do an excellent job and are committed to making the dual credit program a success."
Also, he said, "Our HCHS teachers — Mike Hensley, Scott Pace, Karen Phillips, David Hensley, Johnny Partin, Tina Lawson, Tami Brock, Pat Pate and Mary McCormick — should also be commended as they provide this service to all HCHS students and families with no extra compensation. The dedication and commitment of these teachers make the dual credit program possible."
For more information on dual credit classes, contact Reynolds or Shepherd at the school.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
mcrypt is a replacement for the popular Unix crypt command. crypt was a file encryption tool that used an algorithm very close to the World War II Enigma cipher. Mcrypt provides the same functionality but uses several modern algorithms such as AES. Libmcrypt, Mcrypt's companion, is a library of code which contains the actual encryption functions and provides an easy method for use.
Examples of mcrypt usage in a Linux command line environment:
mcrypt --list # See available encryption algorithms. mcrypt -a blowfish myfilename # Encrypts myfilename to myfilename.nc # using the Blowfish encryption algorithm. # You are prompted two times for a passphrase. mcrypt -d mytextfile.txt.nc # Decrypts mytextfile.txt.nc to mytextfile.txt. mcrypt -V -d -a enigma -o scrypt --bare # Can en/decrypt files crypted with SunOS crypt. mcrypt --help
It implements numerous cryptographic algorithms, mostly block ciphers and stream ciphers, some of which falls under export restrictions in the United States. Algorithms include DES, Blowfish, ARCFOUR, Enigma, GOST, LOKI97, RC2, Serpent, Threeway, Twofish, WAKE, and XTEA.

The Earth and Moon, as seen from elsewhere in the universe October 29, 2014 at 1:16 pm
Have you ever wondered what the Earth looks like from the Moon? Or what the Earth and Moon looks like through the rigs of Saturn, or billions of miles away from the edge of the Solar System? Well, now you can find out!
Meet NASA's new supersonic flying saucer, for future Mars landings April 11, 2014 at 8:07 am
No, fair citizens of Hawaii, the US government hasn't increased the level of psychoactive drugs in your water supply: That really is a flying saucer that just flew past your window at three times the speed of sound. Dubbed the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator, NASA is hoping that this flying saucer is the secret to eventually landing larger payloads on other planets — such as sending a human exploration party to Mars, along with plenty of supplies. The LDSD is on a pretty aggressive schedule, with seven major tech demos over the next 24 months, and could be used in a real mission to Mars in 2018.
NASA is building a robotic spacecraft refueling system, to prevent a Gravity-like orbital debris cascade February 13, 2014 at 9:30 am
NASA is preparing to take the next logical step after in-flight refueling between two aircraft — robotic refueling of orbiting satellites. This could extend the lifetime of many satellites indefinitely, and could play a very important role in preventing a Gravity-like scenario, where fragments of a single satellite cause a cascade of debris that destroys almost every satellite in Earth orbit.
Japan is preparing to launch a giant magnetic net that will trawl space for junk January 22, 2014 at 2:06 pm
Next month, Japan's space agency (JAXA) will launch a space trawler — a spacecraft that will drag a giant aluminium and steel net while orbiting Earth, hoping to bag itself some space junk. NASA tracks around 20,000 pieces of larger (5cm+) orbital debris, but there's an estimated 500,000 pieces of marble-sized, untrackable debris in orbit as well. If a single piece of space junk hits an orbiting, functional spacecraft, the collision is likely to be catastrophic — just like in the movie Gravity. If we don't get on top of orbital debris now, it's feared that one day the junk will be so dense that we won't be able to leave the surface of Earth without being smashed to pieces.
NASA confirms that Voyager 1 has finally left the Solar System September 12, 2013 at 5:41 pm
NASA has confirmed that Voyager 1, which was launched on September 5 1977, has finally left the Solar System. Voyager 1 becomes the first manmade object to leave the Solar System, and in 40,000 years it will come within 1.7 light years of star AC+793888, before continuing on its millions-of-years journey to the core of the Milky Way.
How to put humans on Mars, and get them home safely again July 25, 2013 at 11:02 am
Younger generations haven't experienced staggeringly monumental historic events like older generations have, such as World Wars or landing on the Moon. Our historic events so far — mostly related to personal technology, such as the rise of he PC and the internet — are more of a slow, incremental burn. However, a team of UK scientists are aiming for that staggering historic event that the younger generations can experience, and have designed a mission to land three humans on Mars.
Earth and Moon photographed from 900 million miles away, from the shadow of Saturn July 23, 2013 at 6:36 am
For only the third time ever, Earth has been photographed from the outer Solar System. At a distance of 898 million miles, as seen by NASA's Saturn-orbiting Cassini satellite, the Earth is a tiny, almost luminescent blue marble. If you zoom in (image below), you can even see the pale speck of the Moon next to Earth. As luck would have it, at almost exactly the same time, NASA's MESSENGER satellite also captured an image of the Earth and Moon — this time from the inner Solar System, orbiting around Mercury (image below).

Britain in late Jan/early Feb??
My daughter is planning a big 'world trip' starting late January 2014 and ending late March before she starts a new job. She wants me to join her for about 3 weeks in Britain at the beginning of her trip. This means we will be hitting England/Scotland etc at the end of their winter. I'd really prefer to visit later in the spring, but it doesn't work for her schedule. ANY suggestions/comments of weather, pros/cons of different places at that time of the year, etc. would be appreciated. If anyone has traveled in Britain at that time, what was the 'good, bad and ugly' of the trip? Any rave reviews of a trip at this time of the year? I don't want to come back an really feel it was a waste of time/money because of the season we went. thanks!!

Arriving in Tokyo, the visitor is immediately struck by the sprawling metropolis in all its contemporary glory. But lost in the crowded cityscape are the traditional quarters of olden times. Fortunately, Tokyo: Exploring the City of the Shogun provides the key to uncovering these charming districts that fascinate Japanese and visitors alike. This full-color book serves as a gorgeous photographic journey of Tokyo, and as a unique walking guide to the classic areas of the city, among them the haunts of the shoguns and their samurai.
Author Sumiko Enbutsu, a passionate walker, was born and raised in a cozy "old town" neighborhood of Tokyo. The city is in her blood. With enthusiasm and a selective eye, she fondly relates the history of the shogun's Tokyo - then called Edo - as she takes readers down popular and forgotten byways with the help of expert lensman and long-time Tokyo resident Katsuhito Nakazato. Through her eyes you'll see the city as it once was. You will be able to re-imagine the overlooked back streets of Yanaka, the sumo quarters of Ryogoku, the centuries-old temple town and entertainment district of Asakusa, the world-famous Tsukiji fish markets, and much more.
Beyond the traditional sights, Enbutsu selects traditional craft shops and restaurants to complement each walk - making Tokyo: Exploring the City of the Shogun the perfect visual introduction to the Japanese capital, as well as the ideal companion whether you seek temples, textiles, or tempura.
Written by Sumiko Enbutsu and Photographs by Katsuhito Nakazato.

Partial retirement and the analysis of retirement behavior
The authors estimate a retirement equation with multiple outcome categories to show, first, that self-reported partial retirement is relatively common among white males aged 58 to 69, particularly partial retirement into a job different from the full-time job held at age 55, and that pattern holds even for those not facing mandatory retirement, not unhealthy, and not influenced by pension policies. Second, results from retirement equations specified with dichotomous dependent variables are shown to be sensitive to whether the partially retired are categorized as retired or not retired.

Golddigger? He hardly knew her! Soon-to-be ex-owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling insists he didn't have a sexual relationship with gal pal V. Stiviano in bombshell new audiotape recordings, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
"Donald admits on audiotapes recorded by V., that the two have never had a sexual relationship," a source told Radar. "It comes up several times…"
"It was more of a father-daughter relationship," the source continued. "V. is extremely intelligent and beautiful, and Donald likes to be around attractive women. It boosts his ego. He is extremely insecure."
PHOTOS: Celebrity Racist Rants
Audiotape of Sterling's racist rants to Stiviano were leaked to the media last week. Soon after, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life from the league, and urged team owners to force the 80-year-old to sell the Los Angeles Clippers.
"The man whose voice is heard on the recording and a second recording IS Mr. Sterling. And that the hateful opinions voiced by that man are by Mr. Sterling," Silver said, telling the press conference that the words are "Deeply offensive and harmful."
He said that he is going to urge the NBA Board of Governor's to force Sterling to sell the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.
PHOTOS: Happy Trails Donald! A Look At Sterling's Potential Successors At The Helm Of The Los Angeles Clippers
"That they came from an NBA owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage," he said.
Stiviano's BFF Karrine Steffans, previously told Radar that the relationship between Stiviano, and the disgraced Clippers owner was strictly professional.
"People are giving her too much credit and prowess. She worked for him and she had a personal relationship with him," she said. "Did he love her? Yes. Did she love him as a person and a friend? Yes."
PHOTOS: Vanessa Stiviano Shows Off Gifts Shes Received From Donald Sterling
"But it wasn't physical," Steffans insisted. "If he gifted her things, that was of his own accord. Someone like V. is not going to have sex with an 80-year-old man. That's not going to happen. Even in girl talk when we were drinking she said just the opposite of being his mistress. She said, 'I would never. Look at him!'"
What's more, "V. hasn't spoken to Donald since the audiotapes went public," the source revealed. "She spoke to Donald the day before [the leak] and that was the last time. It has been a very long and tough week for her. Under the circumstances, she is doing well."

Tulane Researcher Wins $2 million Grant To Study Blood Supply
A Tulane University researcher has received $2 million to study improvements in the nation's blood supply. It's one of 20 awards handed out by the National Institutes of Health Director program.
Sergey Shevkoplyas is an assistant professor at the Tulane Department of Biomedical Engineering. He'll be studying how some red blood cells degrade during storage.
Shevkoplyas says 15 million units of red blood cells are transfused to about 5 million patients every year, making it one of the most commonly prescribed therapies. He says the degradation that occurs adversely affects one to two percent of patients nationwide.
Shevkoplyas says his goal is to develop a technology that can be used during the transfusion process to prevent red cell damage.

Since the Apollo missions of the sixties, the Kennedy Space Center in Florida has been home to an odd couple: a pair of crawler-transporters. Weighing in at six million pounds, their gargantuan metal slab is reminiscent of an oil rig carted around atop four military tanks.
Every space voyage begins its journey on the back of a crawler. From the towering Saturn V rockets to the line of relatively compact shuttles that followed, the odd ritual looks like this:

Managed File Transfer: Linchpin to Cloud Stickiness
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (
) has announced the addition of the "Managed File Transfer: Linchpin to Cloud Stickiness " report to their offering.
Simplistically speaking, MFT is purpose-built middleware that facilitates secure and reliable file transfers between business entities. In more practical terms, MFT mitigates the complexities that arise in establishing and completing file transfers in B2B settings; especially those that are a part of mission-critical workflows. Common capabilities found in MFT solutions include: - On-boarding - Establishes and validates, preferably with minimal administrator involvement, system-to-system handshakes between file transfer parties.
- Automation - Automates and schedules file transfer jobs.
- Protocol Translations - Completes in-flow translations between communication protocols.
- File Delivery Assurance - Monitors file transmissions for timeliness (sent and arrived within scheduled window); correctness (went only to the authorized destination(s)); and integrity (arrived unaltered). If errors occur, file owners or MFT administrators are alerted or, depending on the error, the MFT system automatically corrects for the error or disruption (e.g., resumes interrupted transmissions).
- Data Privacy - Encrypts files at rest and in motion, with support for unique per-file encryption keys.
- Operational Security - Controls administrator and user access to the MFT system and files; integrates with user directories (e.g., Microsoft Active Directory and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol - LDAP); and supports strong authentication and single sign-on.
- File Security - Integrates with anti-virus programs to scan incoming and outgoing files.
- Auditing - Gathers comprehensive logs on all file transfer activities (administers' system activities, user actions, file transfers, file metadata, etc.) and supports forensic investigations.
Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2. What is Managed File Transfer? 3. Driving Interest in MFT 4. MFTaaS: a Natural Progression 5. MFTaaS Breaking Through Cloud Adoption Barriers 6. MFTaaS in Contributing to Sticky Cloud Adoption 7. Stratecast - The Last Word 8. About Stratecast For more information visit

Paleontologists Find New Dinosaur Species In South Africa
Scientists on Wednesday announced the discovery of a new dinosaur species in South Africa.
Experts say Aardonyx Celestae roamed the Earth about 197 million years ago and is probably an ancestor to the brontosaurus.
A team of post-graduate students from Witswatersrand University in Johannesburg made the discovery during a dig in the central Free State province of South Africa.
"We knew that there were likely to be some fossils in these bone beds… but we did not expect to find anything of this magnitude," said paleontologist Adam Yates, who supervised the discovery.
The team uncovered a 23-foot herbivore with a large chest. The creature was likely to have roamed the Earth on two hind legs, although it has the ability to walk on all fours.
"It had flattened feet with large claws that supported its body weight on the inside of the foot and a robust thigh for supporting weight," said Yates.
Yates said the species is one "that no one has seen before and one that has a very significant position in the family tree of dinosaurs."
"This new dinosaur is helping us complete and revise our picture of how the truly giant dinosaurs first got going," he added.
The team published their findings in the Proceedings of The Royal Society B.

text: New Jersey back on new 22 race 2014 F1 calendar 23 September, 2013 Press conference announcing New Jersey F1 project in 2011 New Jersey is apparently right back in the running to host a grand prix in 2014. Earlier, the new street race amid the New York skyline was the subject of constant 'on again, off again' speculation, culminating in an early draft of next year's calendar omitting the famous name. But El Mundo Deportivo, a Spanish sports newspaper, has now published a new, tentative 2014 schedule, based on information that was doing the rounds in the paddock at the weekend in Singapore. The new calendar boasts no less than 22 races, with Monaco, New Jersey and Canada all set to take place back-to-back-to-back in the middle of the year. Asked, however, how many of the 22 races will really take place next year, Formula 1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone told Auto Motor und Sport: "Let's say 20 or 21." Subbed by AJN.

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday criticized Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Shazia Ilmi over her statement, where she asked Muslim leaders to be 'communal', and called on the Election Commission to take appropriate action against her.
BJP's vice president and party spokesman Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "It is a very condemnable. There is conspiracy to spread communal poison among the people. Shazia Ilmi must give an explanation for it. We condemn this."
"She should immediately apologise for her comments. Otherwise, the Election Commission should take appropriate action against her," he added.
In a video posted on Youtube, Ilmi is seen appealing to Muslim leaders to be communal.
"I am saying Muslims are very secular. Muslims need to be communal. A Muslim isn't communal - doesn't vote for his own. Arvind Kejriwal is one of you. You are too. Don't be this secular. Look after your own homes interests," Ilmi said in the video.
Meanwhile, the AAP has issued a clarification through Twitter, saying "AAP does not believe in this kind of politics nor does it endorse it."

Change of plan!! I have decided to go ahead and change the layout of the hutch and make two beds compartments before they go back in, id rather there was two of them seeing as thats where most of the blood was yesterday (cus the huuuge bedroom obviously wasnt quite big enough for two little wiggies ) so this means that they wont be going back in today as dh is at work all day. Neutralising the wigs will now be happening tomorrow instead - thats ok isnt it, to keep them apart that bit longer i mean?
I usually bath mine in the sink! They have a waddle around in the sink, they have "just for boars" guinea pig shampoo on them then go under the mixer tap for a rinse off! Not their heads though - however, tomorrow they will be going in the big bath - im sure theyll be very excited about that! not!

As the first reviewer noted, this is not gear bag size, it is duffle bag size. High quality construction, nice features. One end, ventilated for shoes has more of a "bag" than a wall between the shoe compartment and main compartment, this means you can stack two pair of shoes (or whatever) in there and zip them shut but it takes away from the interior compartment, no big deal. I actually fit my Fly Carbon F2 in there just for grins, it took up about 1/2 the whole bag though. The other end is a more conventional end section, good sized though, and the outside zippered accessory compartment runs pretty much the whole side length with 4 shallow mesh pockets inside. On the other side exterior is a mesh pocket you can stick a smaller water bottle into, or anything else to have it handy on the outside. Nice carry straps for both hands and shoulder.Read All Reviews

It's a really nice size, but that's about all that was good. We looked for a long time, and never found a place for the bladder hose to exit, as was advertised. The waist strap also did not work, as one side did not have the right type of buckle, so it would never tighten. very disappointing TECH NOTE: BLADDER HOSE EXIT IS ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER STRAP.Read All Reviews

I have no problems with the bag. I think that the straps that are provided with the bag are a little lacking. They tend to loosen over rough ground. I ended up taping the D-rings to keep it from loosening. Otherwise the bag seems thick and durable. It's not made in the US like Wolfman and Giant loop.Read All Reviews
