Ohhhh So I guess there are some Japanese who are embarrassed by playing a role in a Ero-game or Hentai Anime.Thats kind of surprising. I was wondering why I couldn't find any voice actress names in some of my games. Now I know the answer.

There are many factors why seiyuus use pseudonyms...in fact the seiyuu name that you know might not be their real name at all!
Here in Japan, many talents have gei-mei - a name that is amusing and interesting to remember. For example, there was this one famous talent who recently passed away that every Japanese people knew whose name was Ikariya Chousuke. However, "Ikariya Chousuke" was his gei-mei (talent name) spelled いかりや長介, while his actual name was "Ikariya Chouichi," spelled 碇矢長一.
Seiyuus are not an exception. Some may keep their own name. Others, would change their name so it "sounds" interesting to remember.
Hmm, a bad example would be some guy who has a great song, but the record company finds his real name to be rather boring, like John Smith. So the record company gives him a kick-ass name like Elvis Bon Jovi. While his driver's license and birth certificate still says "John Smith," he is now know to the world as "Elvis Bon Jovi."
So, a seiyuu name that you might know, may not be his/her real name...which you won't know. For instance, Kawamura Maria (I guess Americans would best know her as Naga from "Slayers"). "Kawamura Maria" is her gei-mei, and her real name is Kawamura Shigeyo.
So, going back, yes it was obviously known that Uehara Tomomi = Mizuhashi Kaori. You can alterate Akane's voice within your brain (nounai-henkan) to Rosetta in "Kaleidostar" (to me, it was the other way around - Rosetta alterates to Akane). But then, there is no guarantee that even Mizuhashi Kaori is her real name...perhaps she maybe married and no one knows that, so her surname might be different now.
But for now, Mizuhashi Kaori is her "front name" that she uses in "normal" anime, while Uehara Tomomi (and countless others she has used such as Nanoda Sanae and Tsukishima Rio) was her "back name" that she uses in ero-related anime and games...
Some seiyuus choose to use their name for both worlds. For instance, Ueda Yuuji and Seki Tomokazu uses their name without change "Akane Maniax." On the other hand, others separate their usage for "front" and "back" like Hoshi Souichiro, who goes by the pseudonym "Aiba Tsuyoshi" as Shirogane Takeru in MuvLuv. There are numerous reasons that one can think of...to protect their image, because they were "advised" (meaning, "you'd better change your name or else we'll fire you) from their talent-production agency, or just for the fun of it.
So I wonder why all of sudden Mizuhashi Kaori decided to drop her Uehara Tomomi facade?

What constitutes as "hentai" does not necessarily comply with what we call "ero-anime" or "18-kin anime."
I have no idea how strict your country's ethical standards for TV broadcasts, but I assure you "Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien" is well within bounds of TV censors according our national standards to not be considered as an ero-anime.
If it were, it wouldn't be broadcast in the first place.

No offense man, but even I let my younger cousins watch this series and even they had the maturity to take such content seriously. If a number helps, I'd say PG or PG13. And that's pretty normal if you ask me.

You know, it wasn't 3 days before I watched KGNE (for the 10th time; I ;love it) and it was then after that I though that the Producers of the series owed us a continuation. It wasn't until last night after work that I figured it out that my wish came true ^^. SO technically I already knew that this would happen. Sometimes I feel like I can draw a future to reality.

Actually, even Adult Swim would have to edit specific scenes and possibly modify a couple more to fit within TV-MA standards for network television. Nudity is still a bit iffy as Adult Swim hasn't had a show that deals with it yet, so who knows if it would be edited for that specific content.

Not much has gone right with the turnover of the Rafah Crossing to the Palestinian Authority under the deal brokered by Secretary Rice last month. Yesterday all hell broke loose at the crossing: "EU observers flee as angry PA police storm Rafah crossing." The AP reports:
Palestinian policemen angry over the killing of a fellow police officer stormed the Gaza-Egypt crossing Friday, firing in the air and forcing European monitors to close the border and flee, Palestinian and European officials said.
The European observers – responsible for monitoring the crossing and ensuring the terms of an Israeli-Palestinian agreement are upheld – fled to an IDF base near the Gaza-Israel border, fearing the situation was spinning out of control, the officials said.
The takeover is the latest in a rash of armed kidnappings and takeovers of government buildings that underscore the lawlessness in Gaza and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' inability to bring order to the coastal area following this summer's pullout.
A British woman and her parents were kidnapped Wednesday by gunmen near the Rafah crossing. The family's fate remains unknown. Palestinian security are searching for the family, while British diplomats keep close tabs on the situation.
When the going gets tough, the EU observers hide out with the IDF — a point only obliquely acknowledged in the BBC version of the story. The BBC adds: "The monitors are expected to return as soon as it is safe to do so."
UPDATE: Reuters reports that the border crossing is to be reopened this afternoon.

In a hurry to finish college and looking for the best accelerated degree programs online?
Accelerated online degree program benefits:
Accelerated online degrees give you the freedom to get your college degree fast!
In a hurry to finish college and looking for the best online degree programs?
Earning a degree is a major accomplishment, but that doesn't mean that you are looking forward to spending years commuting back and forth to long college classes.
Accelerated degrees are catching on at universities and colleges across the country, and a number of schools are offering ways for you to take accelerated classes and even earn credit for prior learning obtained outside the classroom.
Accelerated degree programs online allow you to:
It sounds pretty good, doesn't it? But how exactly do you get into accelerated degree programs online or earn credits without even attending the class?
Typically, you can earn your degree faster through a combination of different options – from accelerated, shortened classes to testing out of a course or demonstrating your skills from other training.
Many colleges around the country offer options for accelerated classes that are completed on a shorter schedule than a traditional college course.
This gives you the opportunity to cover more ground in your degree program in a shorter time-frame – helping you get one step closer to graduation.
Online accelerated degree programs are the education path of the future. It makes sense. Everything moves faster today than it did before. Cars. News. Even internet. We've come far from the days of dial up internet and daily newspapers.
Dare I say we've come far from the days of 4 year Bachelor's degrees? Unfortunately no. Most universities do not have an accelerated degree plan.
Does this mean you are stuck with putting in your time to get your degree? No. No it doesn't.
This guide will put you in the driver's seat of your degree program. With new and creative ways to fast-track your degree like the Massive Open Online Course program (MOOC). Or options like Credit for Prior Learning or Credit by Exam that can quickly add 60+ credit hours to your transcript.
You can choose to be in the driver's seat of your education and you can choose how much you use the accelerator.
We're here to help you figure out the how you can accelerate through your degree faster than you ever dreamed possible. We'll show you exactly how to do this and what it will take.
Hold on! This could be a fast ride.
Remember how I said everything is moving faster? Even the internet. That is the key to an accelerated degree.
Accelerated degree programs online allow you to obtain all the credits necessary to be granted a degree much quicker than the norm. Sounds like a good plan, right?
Taking courses online allows you to complete more classes in the same amount of time. Whether you have been working for a while, your life is busy or you just need to finish school faster.
Let's say you decided to start taking classes.
You still need to work full time, pay your mortgage, take the kids to soccer and go to the gym. So you sign up for a night class. You have to attend the class 4 nights out of the week. You stop going to the gym and miss your kids soccer games. After 16 weeks you end up with 6 credits. Doesn't seem fair.
Or you sign up for 2 classes online. Online class terms typically last 8 weeks and run 6 terms in a year. You work on your courses every evening after kissing your kids goodnight. You get up an hour early for a bit more course work but still have time to make it to the gym.
New classes start every month year round. You could be working on classes from home, on the road, at the beach, even on your lunch break.
That's the beauty of taking classes online. With online classes you can make classes fit your life instead of rearranging your life for a class.
There are two types of Associate's degrees, an Associate in Arts (AA) and Associate in Sciences (AS). They're like the identical twins of degrees. Hardly anybody can tell them apart. You can get an AA or an AS in Business. Like I said, pretty much the same.
To graduate you need 60 credit hours which will typically take 2 years of full time study. But we are all about acceleration here so let's look at how you could do an Associate's degree much quicker.
BONUS TIP: Most schools have a maximum course load of 2 classes every 8 weeks. But some schools will allow you to take up to 3 online classes every 8 weeks. Imagine how fast you could fly through that Accelerated Associate's Degree!
The 2 main types of Bachelor's degree are a Bachelor in Arts (BA) and a Bachelor in Science (BS).
One degree to note is the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) which allows a nurse already practicing as a RN to earn a BSN through an accelerated BSN program. This is ideal as a nurse's shiftwork will often not accommodate traditional classroom study. Using an accelerated BSN program allows a working RN to take online classes around night shifts and 12 hour days.
Graduating with a Bachelor's degree takes 120 credit hours which is often spread out over 4 years. What if I told you an accelerated bachelor's degree online could have you done in 2 and a half years?
Here's how:
The fast pace of an accelerated Bachelor's degree would prepare you for a job in any field! Demonstrating your dedication and strong work ethic.
A Master's degree not only makes you sound really smart but also opens up more job opportunities. The 4 most common are:
An accelerated master's degree online typically is 36 credit hours. There is no Credit by Exam (CBE) or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) credits that allow you to test out of classes. You will have to complete class work for each credit.
If your goal is to finish as fast as possible you will want to look for a program that does NOT require a thesis. But if you are already thinking about doing doctorate work you will have to get that thesis. Plan this out before you start. You don't want to take shortcuts now that will limit your future.
When it comes to accelerated graduate programs, the fastest way to finish your degree is by enrolling in online classes. You can take 2 online classes every 8 weeks giving you 6 credit hours per term. In 6 terms (1 year) you have 36 credits. Done. Now that was quick, wasn't it?
Earning a doctorate brings you to the next level of earning potential and job opportunities. Also allows you to introduce yourself as Dr.
The most common accelerated PhD and related doctorates available online are:
Credit hours required to complete a doctorate vary by program. For example a DBA offered from Northcentral University will require 54 credit hours as well as a doctoral dissertation. From Capella University a DBA requires 82 credit hours.
A DNP from the Duke School of Nursing will require 35 credit hours if you already have a master's degree. If you completed an accelerated nurse practitioner program you would be done in a year.
As you can see there is a wide variety in the credit hours required for a doctorate. But these principles will apply to all programs.
Your quickest bet to accelerate a doctorate is to enroll in a non-thesis program. They are out there! You will just have to look a little harder.
The second tip is to enroll in online accelerated classes. If you take 2 online classes every 8 weeks you earn 6 credit hours per term. In 6 terms (1 year) you have 36 credits. Remember how I highlighted the DNP program as ideal as an accelerated program for nurse practitioners? Because you really can be done in a year!
As a working adult the dream of completing a degree program seems hopeless. You are already working hard. You don't have extra time and you can't quit your job to go back to school. It feels like you are stuck.
An accelerated online degree is the ideal fit for your lifestyle. There is no commute, no hours spent in class, no awkward class schedule. You can login anytime and anywhere. You can choose from a variety of popular majors from many top schools.
Many schools will also have payment plans available so you don't even have to go into debt. Also you can check with your employer if they have a tuition reimbursement program available.
Whether you already have 59 credits or zero, you can start right away and finish in far less time than you think. Without putting your already busy and full life on hold.
An accelerated online degree completion program is for you if you started university or college but something happened and you weren't able to complete your degree.
But not all hope is lost. You can still complete your degree online. As long as you already have earned at least 60 credits you can apply to finish your degree at a different university than you first attended. Often known as a 2+2 degree.
Using the accelerated online degree approach you will have the chance to finish your degree without quitting your job or moving back to your old university.
A competency based degree allows you to work at your own pace and submit an assessment or portfolio once you have mastered the material in the course. There are no grades assigned only a pass or fail is given. Of course, you will get a pass!
Classes are scheduled in 3 to 6 month terms and are offered online. You are your own teacher! You set your own schedule and will work independently. You can quickly move through classes you have already mastered.
Competency based programs allow you to focus on developing an understanding of real world skills. Skills you will actually use in employment after you graduate with your degree. No sitting through pointless classes.
Typically you will pay tuition for one 3-6 month term and can complete as many competency units as possible during that time. That's right. You are not limited by what is offered in a certain semester. As a motivated learner, you can quickly complete units and get through many courses each term.
If you are trying to find an accelerated school please don't google "accelerated schools". They don't really exist! An accelerated school is just a traditional college with a regular brick and mortar campus that also happens to offer online classes you can take at an accelerated pace.
Online classes are typically offered in 8 week terms. You can take 2 classes at a time (sometimes even 3) in a 8 week term which will speed you through faster than a traditional program.
You can choose how fast you go through the program by taking advantage of the accelerated classes and max out your course load by taking 2 online classes at a time.
Earning a degree is a huge commitment. It takes a lot of effort and money. You want to make sure that the degree you earn is legitimate and not going to end up being worthless.
Although online degrees are fairly new in the education world they are quickly gaining acceptance. A study conducted by NYU found that employers who have had experience with online classes are twice as likely to hire a candidate with an online degree.
The study concludes "as more people attend online schools over time and the number of graduates of online schools sitting on the hiring side of the desk increases, we can anticipate more favorable treatment of online university graduates."
Online degrees are becoming more commonplace with a reported 5.8 million students having taken an online course (reported by the Babson Survey Research Group. Almost half of those students have taken all of their courses online or through distance education.
Accelerated online classes are offered by many well known reputable universities such as Colorado State University, Northeastern University and Boston University. Even educational giants like Harvard are starting to offer online classes for credit.
We can obtain almost anything we want online and the value of doing so is becoming more commonplace. But just as you have to check that that iPhone you order off eBay is legit, you want to check that you online class is also legitimate.
Regional accreditation is the gold standard for degree programs. You will want to check that your school is recognized by the Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Accelerated online classes are widely available and accepted by these institutions. The degree that you earn will not have any notation on it that your class was taken online. Your transcript will only show that you completed the class and the mark you received.
When you earn a MBA from Colorado State University that is what you will have to show your employer. Your MBA taken via online accelerated classes has no asterisk saying *not a real degree. A degree granted from a reputable university is a degree. Few employers will question which of your classes were online or in class.
It is a hard decision to make whether you should go the traditional route of taking a class or whether you are ready to try an accelerated course. Neither option is perfect. Both options do offer you pros and cons to consider.
An accelerated course offers you more flexibility. You can complete your classwork on your own time schedule. You can work anywhere, anytime from your office on your lunch break to during your summer vacation at the beach.
Accelerated courses are faster to complete, typically running 8 weeks.
Location doesn't matter. Maybe you are living in a rural location and there are no colleges available to you. Or the program you want isn't offered at your local college. Accelerated online courses allow you take a class from ANY college ANYWHERE. You could be living in Alaska taking a course from the University of Texas.
Your choice of colleges will not be limited to where you live, commute time and finding a new job. There is no uprooting your family to complete you degree.
Accelerated courses also cost less both in tuition and associated class expenses.
You can find accelerated courses that are given the same accreditation as a class offered in a classroom.
The downsides of completing a course online really come down to you. What you are willing to do.
You will need to be independent. You will not be interacting with a teacher face to face. You will have to find the strength in yourself to be self-disciplined and remain focused when it gets tough. Because it will be tough!
There are some majors that require in person instruction such as a MD, biochemistry and sonography. These would not be a good fit for an online accelerated course.
An accelerated method of earning a degree will work better for some degrees than others. Social sciences, business, management, criminal justice and degrees that have low math and physical science requirements, no labs and no advanced calculus will work really well. You can complete 2 online accelerated courses at a time and it will be easy to find courses in these disciplines.
More uncommon majors like Art History are difficult to complete using an accelerated method because the courses required may not be available at the time you need them.
Your success with a quick degree online will be largely determined by the major that you are pursuing.
You might be thinking that an accelerated degree sounds like a great idea, but how does it really work? There are 7 proven strategies that we provide to accelerate the completion of your degree. The table below will give you an idea of one of the ways this could work.

Obviously the table is just one possibility. Instead of military training credit you might already have 21 hours of transfer credit. Or your school might offer 6 terms instead of 5. This just gives you an idea but the strategies are completely flexible to YOUR own experience and your particular colleges schedule and courses.
This is the easiest part. Really. Applying to an accelerated program is so simple. Check this out:
Most accelerated degree programs online require the same materials and information as traditional degree programs. These may include:
Some programs have a minimum age requirement. This age requirement is usually older than when most students begin college and is typically somewhere in the 20's range. This is because many accelerated or degree completion programs cater to adult learners.
The curriculum for an accelerated degree program is exactly the same as a traditional program curriculum. Which would mean whatever you would need for a program that you would attend in person is what you will need for an online program. Except you get more flexibility and can finish quicker.
All universities in the United States will have a similar list of general education requirements. For example for an both an Associate's and a Bachelor's degree you will need to complete 6 credits each in communication arts, mathematics, science and technology, humanities and social science.
An Associate's degree will require 3 credits of additional liberal arts and 9 credits of interdisciplinary studies. A Bachelor's degree requires 6 credits of additional liberal arts and 18 credits of interdisciplinary studies.
On top of that you just need to add the requirements for your major and your electives. Just like a traditional program. See? They are similar.
Accelerated courses sound like a great idea… but what exactly are they?
Well, think of your typical college course – now condense into just a few weeks. It might sound tough, but when you want to cross the finish line sooner, for the motivated student it can be the ideal way to speed up the process of graduation by taking shorter classes online. Typically, these classes are structured in an 8-week format instead of following a traditional 16-week course schedule.
Online accelerated classes are intense, but highly flexible – making them a good option if you're juggling work, school, or family obligations.
Online classes may even give you a leg-up on the quality of your education, and Babson Survey Research Group reports that 77% of academic leaders rate learning outcomes for online courses as the same or better than traditional on-campus classes!
While most accelerated programs rely on students taking accelerated courses in order to quicken the pace of their degree, it's not necessarily required at all programs. If you enroll in a program that only offers 8 week (or less) courses, then you'll be required to take accelerated courses. If your program offers 16 week courses, though, you won't necessarily have to take accelerated courses. Without accelerated courses, though, it will be difficult to really quicken the pace of your degree. The only way you could do this would be by coming into the program with a lot of transfer credits.
Here's a list of universities offering accelerated online courses.
Money (or a lack of) is often one of the things that will hold you back from completing a degree. Higher education is expensive! It can feel like getting a degree will push you back further financially than it will help you.
Who has $80,000 to $181,000 available to put into schooling? Not most of us! That's for sure.
An accelerated online degree allows you to graduate with an accredited degree from a recognized university at ⅓ to ⅕ of the cost. That's savings of 67-85%, it's amazing! All of a sudden completing a degree doesn't seem so impossible, right?

As you can see for a typical Bachelor's degree from a public, instate university you are looking at paying $80,360. A degree earned through an accelerated online program costs $26,340. You save $54, 020 that can go towards your mortgage payment, your dream vacation, your child's education. Anything! That $54,020 is still yours to spend as you wish.
Even for an Associate's degree the savings would be significant.
You've already been to university for some classes and you might be wondering if that time was wasted.
As long as the credits you earned are from an accredited university they can transfer to your new program. Doesn't matter that you are in an accelerated program. Transfer credits are treated the same. The acceleration of your program is completely up to you. You are the one making the program go faster by taking classes at a faster speed.
Accreditation is a quality assurance step taken by the federal and state government agencies as well as non-government organizations. Basically accreditation is a way to make sure university and colleges are meeting acceptable levels of quality.
Kind of like reading hotel reviews on TripAdvisor, but a lot more involved and formal. Accreditation makes sure that a college is doing what it promises to do.
Going to an accredited school ensures that the program is high quality, that your degree will be accepted by other universities and your employer.
Accreditation is another way to safeguard your decision, your time and your money. Accreditation says 'this school is legit, your degree will matter to other universities and employers.'
Choosing an accelerated school is one of the most important decisions you will make in your educational journey, and it pays to do your research!
The best accelerated degree programs online are accredited by a regional or national accrediting body that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. If you're unsure if your school has recognized accreditation, check out the U.S. Department of Education's website.
Other ways that you can recognize top online schools include:
When comparing online programs, consider these important factors:
When your school is accredited, you can feel confident knowing that they hold themselves to high standards of quality and that your degree will hold weight once you're ready to venture out into the workforce after graduation.
Yes. If you're enrolled in an accredited institution, the same financial aid rules apply to you as they would if you had enrolled in a traditional program.
If you are no longer dependent on your parents, you can actually borrow more money from the federal government in the form of loans to help pay for your education. Your program might also offer merit or financial based grants and scholarships to those who qualify.
Many people work full and part-time while completing their degree. Since an accelerated program is rather intensive, it is not recommended to try to earn your degree during a very busy period in your job or career or to take on any additional hours. You will probably be in class with many other working adults over the duration of your degree. It's at your discretion whether or not you want to tell your employer that you're pursuing your degree on the side.
In search of quick degrees that pay well? Here's a list of 10 well-paying quick degrees that might interest you.
After all that work you will go to complete your degree, are you going to find a job? Is it going to be worth it? Or are you going to find yourself working at the same job with a worthless degree?
Not according to the NACE's Job Outlook 2017 Spring Update. 99% of employers plan to hire graduate with a Bachelor's degree. 99%! That's almost everybody. Those with Master's degrees will be considered for 53% of the jobs. Even doctorate graduates have seen an increase in hiring. 25% of employers plan to hire doctorate degree graduates.
Graduates with degrees in business, economics, communications and social sciences will be considered for 14-72% of the new jobs.
These are the degrees of the future. They also are the degrees that work well with an online accelerated program. Coincidence? I think not.
If you think back 10 or 15 years, even just 5 years, I am sure you can list at least a dozen things that have changed. Everyday things from how we order food (online!), research trips (online!), get a ride (online!), do our banking (online!), apply for jobs (online!) and keep in touch with friends and family (online!).
How we pursue a higher education is changing as well. Changing to keep up with the future that is barrelling towards us. Accelerated online degrees fit a future that is fast and quickly changing.
But change requires pioneers. Brave, dedicated souls who are willing to pave the way to something brighter and newer. Do you have the soul of an explorer? Someone who is willing to try something new and set a shining example for those that follow.

Jerome Savary, icon of French theater, dies
PARIS (AP) — Jerome Savary, a director who broadened the appeal of theater to French audiences and helped popularize musicals, has died at age 70.
Known for joyous, entertaining productions, the prolific Savary staged everything from Shakespeare to a play about comic book hero Asterix. He also embraced musical theater, considered an Anglo-Saxon genre.
Savary's name was synonymous with theater in France after a career that included leading two Parisian theatrical institutions, the Opera Comique and the Theatre National de Chaillot.
The Compagnie Jerome Savary said Tuesday that he died Monday night after struggling with cancer.
Born in Argentina, Savary lived in New York in the 1960s, according to his company's website. His maternal grandfather, Frank Higgins, was the governor of New York in the early 20th century.

Caterpillar Tractor Company's origins can be traced back to two companies. In 1871 Daniel Best established a company to manufacture farm machinery. In 1863 Charles Holt founded C.W. Holt & Company to sell hardwood products. Holt's brother soon joined him, and they established the Stockton Wheel Company to manufacture wooden wheels.
In 1886 the Holts developed a link-belt combined harvester. This machine improved on the already innovative combined harvester and thresher by using flexible chain belts rather than gears to transmit power from the ground wheels to the working parts of the machine, therefore cutting down on machine breakage. In 1892 the Holts built a steam-driven tractor that could haul fifty tons of freight at three miles per hour. This was a huge innovation in the industry; prior to the invention of the steam-driven tractor animal power was used. The Stockton Wheel Company was incorporate as Holt Manufacturing Company in 1892.
The company's next breakthrough came when it produced the first caterpillar-style tractor ("crawler"). The crawler was built on tracks instead of wheels, it and could negotiate any terrain short of a swamp. In 1906 a steam-powered crawler was perfected, allowing farmers to use land that was previously considered useless.
In 1908 Daniel Best sold out to the Holts. Two years later, however, Best's son, C.W. Best, formed his own company to manufacture tractors. The company continued to improve on the crawler through the following decade, and it was the model for the design of tanks during World War I. Holt's tractors themselves hauled artillery and supplies during the war as well.
In 1925 Holt and C.W. Best's company merged to form the Caterpillar Tractor Company. Caterpillar began to expand internationally and opened dealerships in Australia, the Netherlands, east Africa, and Tunisia. The company's sales were $52 million by 1929. Caterpillar survived the Depression years and was boosted in the late 1930s by selling millions of dollars worth of tractors to the Soviet Union. At that time, the Soviets were forming huge collective farms and required large tractors to help manage them efficiently.
By 1931 the diesel tractor engine was perfected by Caterpillar. The company redesigned many of its old tractors and witnessed growth in its sales through the decade.
Caterpillar's greatest contribution to World War II was its conversion of gasoline airplane engines into diesel engines. The company manufactured other engines and artillery shells for the war as well. Caterpillar tractors worked in battle zones during the war, repairing and building roads, bulldozing tank traps, and constructing pillboxes. Such work often required that the tractors have bulldozer blades attached, which led to the application of the term "bulldozer" to Caterpillar tractors.
The company thrived in the post-war years, as Europe and Japan demanded its products for their rebuilding projects. Taking advantage of the high demand for its tractors, Caterpillar launched an expansion program in 1949. In 1950 the company established its first overseas subsidiary, Caterpillar Tractor Company Ltd. of Great Britain.
A great construction boom continued through the 1960s, and the company continued to succeed. The 1960s were also a period of labor unrest within the company. In 1961 Caterpillar experienced a conflict with the United Auto Workers union, and 12,600 workers in Peoria struck in a wage dispute. The same union struck again in 1966.
In 1968 Caterpillar was the first company located outside of a major city to enlist in a government-sponsored program to hire and train people considered to be unemployable. The company devoted its efforts in the beginning of the 1970s to developing smaller diesel engines. Caterpillar began a dramatic expansion program in 1974, building large additions to several plants, as well as a new manufacturing center in Brazil. The company also expanded its foreign market at that time by selling pipe-laying equipment to China.

It's too soon to know whether Jay Cutler will be available next week against San Francisco.
However, it's perfect timing to worry about an offense that has made few improvements since its first practices more than three months ago at training camp in Bourbonnais.
Despite a 13-6 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, the Bears (7-2) remain a game ahead of the Green Bay Packers for first place in the NFC North. They will visit the 49ers (6-2-1) next week in a prime-time matchup that could feature backup quarterbacks Jason Campbell and Colin Kaepernick depending on how Cutler and Alex Smith recover from concussions both suffered Sunday.
Bears coach Lovie Smith did not rule out Cutler for next week's game during his news conference Monday at Halas Hall. However, Smith said, the Bears typically erred on the side of caution when it came to head injuries.
"We'll never put a guy at risk," Smith said. "No game is that important for us. The player's health always comes first with everything we do."
Regardless of whether Cutler starts or sits, the Bears' offense remains subpar following its fifth game with less than 300 net yards. Luckily for the Bears, the defense remains terrific.
Quarterback: D
A slow start against the Texans was nothing new for Cutler (26 snaps), who has posted a 55.1 passer rating in the first half this season and a 111.2 passer rating in the second half. Except this time, Cutler was forced to call it quits after a forgettable first half that included two interceptions on telegraphed passes. Campbell (33 snaps) lobbed a terrific pass down the sideline to Brandon Marshall for a 45-yard gain, but he was unable to lead a comeback.
Running backs: D
Matt Forte (51 snaps) struggled badly in his toughest test of the season against the Texans' run defense. Forte averaged 2.4 yards per carry, which is especially bad considering the fact that he had averaged at least 4 yards per carry in each of his first seven games. Michael Bush (8 snaps) ran much more effectively with 34 yards on three carries, but he spoiled that success by allowing Glover Quin to pop the ball loose on a tackle in the first quarter.
Wide receivers: C
After nine games, it's obvious that Brandon Marshall (56 snaps) is the best wide receiver in franchise history. But even the best players make mistakes, and Marshall made a big one when he dropped what would have been a 33-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Bears settled for a field goal and never had a better shot at the end zone. Earl Bennett (47 snaps) and Devin Hester (27 snaps) remained quiet as secondary targets, combining for three receptions for 13 yards. Injured receiver Alshon Jeffery cannot return soon enough.
Tight ends: F
If Kellen Davis (54 snaps) could have played worse, we would like to know how. Davis proved to be the poster boy for the Bears' incompetence on offense. On the first play from scrimmage, he was clobbered by ex-teammate Danieal Manning and lost a fumble. He also dropped a pair of passes, including one on third-and-11 that should have put the Bears near midfield with 3:46 remaining in a one-score game. After Davis' latest dud, maybe it is time for Matt Spaeth (32 snaps) and Kyle Adams (8 snaps) to log more playing time.
Offensive line: B
Go figure. The much-maligned Bears offensive line turns in one of its best games of the season, and the offense fails to score a touchdown in 60 minutes. J'Marcus Webb (59 snaps) and Gabe Carimi (59 snaps) both deserve praise for shutting out the Texans' pass rushers. Surefire Pro Bowl defensive end J.J. Watt did not register a sack, nor did he bat down a pass.
Defensive line: B
Julius Peppers (47 snaps) gave the Bears' offense a chance to take the lead when he sacked Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on third-and-4 early in the fourth quarter to force a punt. Peppers added another quarterback pressure, as did fellow defensive end Corey Wootton (36 snaps), who filled the void when Shea McClellin (1 snap) left because of a concussion. Henry Melton (49 snaps) tallied two tackles for losses as the best player on the interior.
Linebackers: A
Brian Urlacher (63 snaps) had a rare missed tackle that resulted in a 13-yard gain in the second quarter, but he made up for the miscue with a team-leading eight tackles, including two in the backfield. Lance Briggs (63 snaps) also played well as he stuffed Foster in front of the first-down marker in the first quarter and finished with four tackles. On Foster's diving touchdown catch, there was little else that Briggs could have done to defend him.
Cornerbacks: A
Tim Jennings (62 snaps) has had some good luck to go along with some great plays. Jennings shined again with two interceptions, including one in which Schaub threw the ball directly to him in the second quarter. Charles Tillman (63 snaps) continued his stellar season with a great performance against Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson. Tillman tallied six tackles and two pass break-ups as his fourth child waited at least one more day to enter the world.
Safeties: A
The Bears expressed concerns about the Texans' play-action prowess, but Chris Conte (63 snaps) and Major Wright (63 snaps) did a great job of keeping everything in front of them and not falling for any of Houston's deceptive plays. Wright helped save a touchdown when he and Tillman tackled Foster at the 2-yard line to force a field goal in the first quarter.
Special teams: B
Robbie Gould will regret clanking a 48-yard field goal attempt off of the left upright early in the fourth quarter, but that miss did not make the difference in a seven-point loss. Gould also connected from 51 yards on a sloppy field, and his kickoffs consistently crossed the goal line. Devin Hester showed a burst with a 24-yard punt return early in the first quarter, and that spooked the Texans into a steady dose of squib kicks and sideline punts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- The National Transportation Safety Board Thursday said it has "not ruled anything out" in its investigation of battery fires on two Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said a full forensic investigation is under way into the incidents, which she called "a very serious safety concern."
Boeing's fleet of Dreamliners -- its newest and most advanced plane -- was grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration by a series of electrical fires related to its lithium-ion batteries.
In two of the latest incidents, a fire broke out in a Japan Airlines 787 Dreamliner at Boston's Logan Airport, after passengers had deplaned. Another incident caused an All Nippon Airways Dreamliner to make an emergency landing in Japan.
As part of the investigation, the NTSB disassembled the batteries and determined they had not exceeded their designed voltage of 32 volts. However, Hersman said, it appeared the batteries had short-circuited in at least the Boston case, The Hill reported.
"We know the lithium ion battery experienced a thermal runaway, we know there were short circuits, and we know there was a fire," Hersman said, cautioning, "We are not determining the cause of the event, just sharing some characteristics.
"One of these events alone is serious; two of them in close proximity, especially in an airplane model with only about 100,000 flight hours, underscores the importance of getting to the root cause of these incidents," Hersman said.


text: http://www.sunherald.com/2010/03/01/1992206/nine-us-senators-endorse-marine..html Nine U.S. Senators Endorse Marine Conservation Solutions to Climate Change Miami, FL - An international coalition today, thanked the nine U.S. Senators who sponsored the Clean Energy Partnerships Act for advancing marine conservation as part of the solution to climate change. The Act is focused on mitigating climate change and making the transition to a clean energy economy, through offsetting greenhouse gas emissions.. The legislation advances marine conservation by including the restoration and conservation of certain coastal and marine ecosystems, which capture and store atmospheric carbon, in the list of eligible mitigation projects. Other mitigation projects include sustainable agriculture and forestry practices. Recent reports produced by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) found that, when healthy, mangrove forests, saltwater marshlands and seagrass meadows are extremely effective at storing atmospheric carbon, thereby mitigating climate change. The reports are titled 'Blue Carbon' and 'The Management of Natural Coastal Carbon Sinks,' respectfully. "Restoring seagrass, mangroves and salt-marshes is a win-win strategy, because they contribute to mitigate climate change through their carbon sink potential, that rivals with the Amazonian forest in intensity, but at the same time help recover fisheries and protect shorelines" said Prof Carlos M. Duarte, co-author of the UNEP report and Director of the International Laboratory for Global Change at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research. "For too long we have focused solely on terrestrial habitats such as forests, peatlands and certain soil types as effective ways to manage natural carbon sinks. I am delighted that this important introduction in the U.S. Senate provides long-awaited recognition to these coastal habitats" Prof Dan Laffoley, editor of the IUCN report and Marine Vice Chair of IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas commented. "These habitats are shown to lock away significant amounts of carbon and this move demonstrates that the world-wide loss of such features is not just a significant concern for wildlife and coastal communities dependent on them, but also for effective management of our carbon sinks and emissions," he added. The Secretary of Commerce is given a role administering the rules for marine offset programs in the Act. The Clean Energy Partnerships Act was introduced by Senator Debbie Ann Stabenow (MI), and co-sponsored by Max Baucus (MT), Mark Begich (AK), Sherrod Brown (OH), Robert Casey (PA), Thomas Harkin (IA), Amy Klobuchar (MN), Bill Nelson (FL), and Jeanne Shaheen (NH). "Our oceans are critically important to climate and the global carbon cycle. This is the first time healthy coasts and oceans have been introduced into legislation as part of the solution to climate change," said Steven J. Lutz, Executive Director of Blue Climate Solutions, the group that organized the coalition effort. "The Blue Climate Coalition commends the sponsoring Senators for demonstrating strong environmental and climate change leadership." ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>

Animal Species:Sergeant Baker, Hime purpurissatus Richardson, 1843
The Sergeant Baker is probably named after Governor Phillip's orderly sergeant, William Baker. The species is commonly seen by divers in on the New South Wales coast.
Standard Common Name
Sergeant Baker
The Sergeant Baker can be recognised by its long tapering body, blotched colouration and its behaviour. The species is commonly observed by divers as it perches on the substrate with its head raised.
Adult males and females are easy to tell apart. Several of the anterior rays of the first dorsal fin are greatly elongated in males, nearly reaching the adipose fin. The elongated dorsal fin rays can be seen in the middle image.
The Sergeant Baker is probably named after Governor Phillip's orderly sergeant, William Baker. Sergeant Baker came to Australia as a Corporal of Marines on the transport ship Charlotte. He was reported to have been a keen fisherman, and possibly the first white settler to have caught this species.
Size range
It grows to about 68 cm in length.
This species is endemic to Australia. It is recorded from temperate waters from the central Western Australian coast to southern Queensland.
The map below shows the Australian distribution of the species based on public sightings and specimens in Australian Museums. Click on the map for detailed information. Source: Atlas of Living Australia.
Distribution by collection data

Cambodia's Khmer Rouge defendants deny charges
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — The last two surviving leaders of Cambodia's radical Khmer Rouge regime still on trial for genocide and other war crimes issued their final defense Thursday, distancing themselves from the deaths of more than 1.7 million people who died during their rule.
Former head of state Khieu Samphan, 87, and 82-year-old Nuon Chea, the Khmer Rouge's chief ideologist and No. 2 leader, both made lengthy closing statements at the U.N.-backed tribunal in the capital, Phnom Penh.
A verdict is not expected in the case until the first half of next year, more than two years after the trial began.
Shortly after seizing Phnom Penh in April 1975, the Khmer Rouge forced an estimated 1 million people — even hospital patients — out of the capital, herding them en masse into the countryside in an effort to create a communist agrarian utopia.
By the time the bizarre experiment ended in 1979 with a Vietnamese invasion, close to 2 million people were dead, most from starvation, medical neglect, slave-like working conditions and execution. Their bodies were dumped in shallow mass graves that still dot the country.
"It is easy to say that I should have known everything, I should have understood everything, and thus I could have intervened or rectified the situation at the time," Khieu Samphan defiantly told the court. "Do you really think that that was what I wanted to happen to my people?"
"The reality was that I did not have any power," he said.
Nuon Chea also defended his actions, saying he never ordered Khmer Rouge cadres "to mistreat or kill people to deprive them of food or commit any genocide."
Unlike Khieu Samphan, however, Nuon Chea accepted "moral responsibility" for the deaths, repeating previous efforts to distance himself from actual crimes.
"I would like to sincerely apologize to the public, the victims, the families, and all Cambodian people," said the frail former leader, speaking steadily as he read from pages of notes. "I wish to show my remorse and pray for the lost souls that occurred by any means" during the Khmer Rouge rule.
Nuon Chea's words are unlikely to be any consolation for survivors, hundreds of whom crowded the courtroom and the tribunal's grounds.
"He is just trying to cheat the court so that he can be freed," said Bin Siv Lang, a 56-year-old woman who lost 11 relatives during the Khmer Rouge rule. "If he issued no orders to kill people, his subordinates would not have killed."
Death and disability have robbed the tribunal of other defendants. Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng Sary died in March, and his wife Ieng Thirith, the regime's social affairs minister, was declared unfit for trial in September 2012 after being diagnosed with dementia. The group's top leader, Pol Pot, died in 1998.
The tribunal, launched in 2006, so far has convicted only one defendant, Khmer Rouge prison director Kaing Guek Eav, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2011.
The present trial's focus is on the forced movement of people and excludes some of the gravest charges related to genocide, detention centers and killings.
Nuon Chea said he believed his trial proved he "was not engaged in any commission of the crimes as alleged by the co-prosecutors. ... In short, I am innocent."
Khieu Samphan said bitterly that he had lost faith in the tribunal because "no matter how hard I try to explain, they (the court's judges) will only turn their deaf ears at me."
"It is clear that everyone wants only one thing from me — that is, my admission of guilt ... concerning the acts that I have never ever committed at all."
Associated Press writer Sopheng Cheang contributed to this report.

The main aim of U.S. Army Aviation is now to preserve the force for the future, said Maj. Gen. Anthony Crutchfield, commanding general of the Army Aviation Center of Excellence, during his opening remarks at the 2012 AAAA Forum in Nashville.
The annual gathering of the U.S. Army Aviation command was held against a backdrop of pending defense cuts that are currently set at $470 billion over the next 10 years, but could be higher depending on how America's politicians finally begin to address the nation's national debt crisis, currently around $16 trillion.
Crutchfield's Aim Point 2030 is another campaign plan which its architect believes will be different: "It is in a cloud; it is in the workplace." By that he meant his command team can work on it: "This is an Army Aviation enterprise campaign plan and it will have measurable output."
It is an Army coming out of the current fight that will begin training for the next fight, he said, adding that the three most important factors would be to train, sustain and modernize the force. Crutchfield said that the crux of the plan was to:
• sustain and expand the aviation enterprise culture of collaboration,
• ensure unity of effort; speak with one voice,
• embrace a cost culture approach; identify what you need, and
• once the need is defined, lock down the plan and execute it.
"We won't get everything we want; but we must get what we need," was his challenge. But how does this play out in terms of the two aviation programs that industry is collectively focused on to take them forward into the future?
Those hoping for innovation regarding the future Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) may have to temper their expectations. There is a steely determination within the Army Aviation leadership that they cannot afford—either financially or in terms of reputation—to make another mistake in the shape of Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche or even the Bell Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter ARH-70 Arapaho, more so now that at any time over the last few decades.
There will be a capability demonstration, not a "fly off," by all those OEMs who can field a platform when the Army has confirmed its Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), which will be signed very soon, according to Maj. Gen. Tim Crosby, PEO Aviation. Those who cannot attend will not be barred from future competitions, he added.
A requirement for manned armed reconnaissance has been identified but it is the level or risk that will be assessed as to whether a "make do" approach would be better than a game-changing platform decision—at this time. Talk of taking an "appetite suppressant" is becoming more prevalent during these types of discussions now. (For a related story, see "Appetite Suppressant," January 2012 Rotor & Wing, page 4.) The phrase 'optionally manned' was not being mentioned.
By Maj. Gen. Crosby's own admission, the focus has also shifted to Future Vertical Lift (the new descriptor that has replaced Joint Multi Role)—and a medium version of that. [The rumor on the need for the name change is that the word "Joint" is still far too unpalatable for individual services to contemplate].
There will be no rush to innovate. A waiting game needs to be played until the full potential horrors of the military budget frugality becomes known. And there is an election at the end of the year. In short, no rapid decisions concerning future platforms should be expected in 2012.

GREENVILLE, Ill. -- The men's basketball team pulled away at the end for an impressive 76-63 win over Fontbonne Wednesday night. K.J. Hilliard posted a team-leading 22 points with Obinna Agomo adding 11 points of his own. The win allowed Greenville to qualify for its first SLIAC tournament since 1999. Seedings and pairing for the tournament will be announced in one week.
Jonas McBride had a very well rounded game for the Panthers with eight points, four steals, and five assists. Andy Traeger led the team in rebounding with six. As a team, Greenville shot 77 percent from the line, had 12 steals, and only turned the ball over 10 times for the game.
The men's basketball team improved to 8-6 in the SLIAC and 12-10 overall. Webster University is next for the Panthers as they travel to St. Louis for a 3 p.m tipoff on Saturday.

Is this expected?
My breasts are always uncomfortable even after feeding bb. They feel full and heavy. Is this normal and expected fr breastfeeding? Or are we to feel 'normal' like before (b4 we started breastfeeding)

Your baby is 5 weeks, right? If so, then yes, this is normal for someone who is still so early on in her breastfeeding career. Most moms overproduce milk in the early days/weeks of breastfeeding. The body errs on the side of making extra milk, assuring that the baby is more than adequately fed as she masters the art of breastfeeding. But as time goes on, and if mom nurses on demand and stays away from the pump, her body is eventually going to address that situation, reducing milk supply to meet the baby's needs more precisely. At this point, the feeling of fullness should go away except in rare cases when the baby sleeps an extra long time at night or skips a feeding for some other reason. Most long-term nursing moms feel "empty" most of the time, yet continue to have plenty of milk for their babies.
Oversupply can cause issues for mama and baby. Mama can be very uncomfortable, and baby may experience fast letdowns that make her choke, cough, gag, splutter, or pull off the breast during feedings. If any of this is happening to you, let us know, and we'll help you come up with a plan to fix it.
A mom with OS always feels a bit too full until her supply regulates. Easiest and fastest way to make that happen (totally speaking from experience, as I have OS):
No pumping. Pumping makes it worse. I was given bad advice after my first baby and told to pump after feedings. I stopped pumping at perhaps 6-8 weeks, but the damage was done. I leaked milk for 8-10 months (and I didn't know about reusable nursing pads, so I used a box a week!) and was engorged for almost as long. But I didn't do that with my subsequent two babies, and it regulated much, much faster.
Nurse on demand.
Cosleep; the hormones help keep you in sync with baby
Time. It takes time
And it is a blessing in the long run, as you will find it easy to feed baby quickly and get baby happy again. And you should have no trouble nursing to at least a year if you let things go as they should.

Agree with PPs
I had OS, felt full first few months -- now they don't feel like that ever unless I forget to offer the "right" side (or if LO skips a nursing).

Babywearing International has chapters - see if there's one near you... most have lending libraries!
Thank you for the quick replies.
Now I feel more reassured that its normal.
Yes, I have overactive let down too....and bb splutters, chokes, turns red and gasps whenever she feeds. SHe unlatches fr my breast over 10xs each feed. And gets so frustrated that she doesn;t want to drink anymore...and then get hungry again within the hour.
I don;t know what to do. each feeding session is so stressful.
n yes, bb is 5 weeks.
ANd its been a long 5 weeks. I dun know how to hang on. i dun know how u other moms do it.
Oversupply is challenging, mama! And it makes those first few difficult weeks even more difficult. But you can do it! I did, Susan (aprilsmagic) did, lots of other moms here did- and you can manage oversupply. Here's how:
1. No pumping unless you are in extreme discomfort. If you are extremely uncomfortable, hand-express or pump the minimum amount of milk necessary to get yourself back to a tolerable state. The more milk you remove from the breast, the more you will make.
2. Adopt reclined nursing positions to help baby cope with letdowns. If you can get gravity working in your favor to slow mi flow, things should be easier.
3. If reclined nursing and cutting out pumping are not enough to get things under control, you may need to block feed. Block feeding is feeding on just one breast per feeding, sometimes for several feedings in a row. Moms with modest oversupply may need to use one breast per feeding and switch to the opposite breast at the next feeding. Moms with more severe oversupply may need to use the same breast for several hours in a row.
Start slow and let us know how it goes! Lots of us have gone through the oversupply thing and it takes time to get it fixed but it's definitely doable.
Ugh. Been there. I was VERY uncomfortable breastfeeding Joe. I remember thinking, my goodness, no one warned me about this! I thought breastfeeding was supposed to convenient, natural, a bonding experience - and all I can think about is whether my breasts are going to EXPLODE before the next feeding! I needed to nurse Joe more than he needed to be nursed (this is a great way to get a plump, healthy baby, btw - he was 24 lbs at 6 months).
Thank goodness it does get better. Especially (saw your other post) be careful about pumping, it tends to send OS mamas into extreme, out of control oversupply. Follow the advice above and you will be feeling better soon. For me the sensation of fullness would still hit after a few months, but it was far more manageable and bearable. Part of it is that your body gets used to making milk and after a while it feels more normal, less uncomfortable.
ETA: One sort of positive thing about oversupply is that it makes it very hard to wean. I mean, you can't go from exploding to milk to having no milk overnight - it's a painful and difficult process. I still think my oversupply is one reason I didn't give up - I didn't know how to! This was a benefit in the long run. I could talk about wanting to quit, but the logistics of quitting would have been far more difficult. This helped me get through those feelings of claustrophobia and exhaustion, but I kept breastfeeding because it was the only way for me to get relief for my giant, overfull boobs! In the end, this was a blessing in disguise.

I did a lot of side laying nursing and bock feeding to control it with my second and third babies.

|Athletics | Hiroyuki Nakajima changed swing
Tue, 25 Jun 2013 13:31:53 -0700
Oakland Athletics SS Hiroyuki Nakajima changed out his delayed leg kick at the plate for a small lift in his front foot in spring training this year, which robbed him of the torque on his swing and made him consistently late on pitches. "The emphasis was more on learning and observing the pitches, and that caused me to be more uncertain rather than swinging the bat freely," Nakajima said. He's now returning to the swing mechanics he used in Japan, and he went 18-for-46 during a season-high 10-game hitting streak at Triple-A Sacramento after making the change. The minor league coaching staff believes Nakajima is ready to face major league pitching now. Nakajima hasn't proven he can play shortstop at the major league level, though, and the team already has SS Jed Lowrie playing there. However, Nakajima has played more third base than shortstop at Sacramento lately. It appears the A's weren't thrilled with his play at second base in late May. He developed a bad habit of letting the ball come to him on defense because of being used to playing on AstroTurf in Japan. With agility workouts and drills designed to improve his first step, Nakajima feels ready to return to the big leagues.
Fantasy Tip: There is no indication that Nakajima will be recalled anytime soon with Lowrie and Josh Donaldson holding down the left side of the infield. If Nakajima does come up, he'll likely serve in a utility role, limiting his fantasy value to very deep AL leagues.

|Athletics | Hiroyuki Nakajima learning new position
Tue, 21 May 2013 19:05:55 -0700
Oakland Athletics SS Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) has played second base during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento. His 20-day rehab assignment ends Wednesday, May 22, and a decision needs to be made whether he returns to Oakland or he is optioned to Sacramento. It appears Nakajima will be optioned to the minors, although Melvin said no decision has been made. "His position is shortstop, that's what it's been his whole career, but he's open to playing other positions, too," Melvin said. SS Jed Lowrie is entrenched at shortstop in Oakland.

|Athletics | Hiroyuki Nakajima rehabs
Tue, 14 May 2013 13:05:47 -0700
Oakland Athletics SS Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) went 1-for-5 with a run scored for Triple-A Sacramento Tuesday, May 14, and he's hitting .241 in seven rehab games.
Fantasy Tip: The A's haven't given any indication that Nakajima is close to being called up to the big leagues, and Jed Lowrie has been playing well at shortstop in Oakland. Nakajima has been playing some second base in the minors, meaning he's likely being groomed to be a utility infielder when he rejoins Oakland. That means he likely won't have much value past AL-only leagues.

|Athletics | Hiroyuki Nakajima starting rehab assignment
Fri, 03 May 2013 14:15:43 -0700
Oakland Athletics SS Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) will play seven innings for Triple-A Sacramento Friday, May 3, but there is no timetable for him to rejoin the team.
Fantasy Tip: It will probably be a few weeks before the A's will consider calling up Nakajima. The team wants him to gain some confidence and also get some repetitions at second base to make him more valuable. There is a chance that he could eventually take hold of the second base job, but chances are better that he becomes more of a utility infielder at the big league level.
