does the LAN adaptor "create" the crossover for you, negating the need

The 47th Samurai: A Bob Lee Swagger Novelby Stephen Hunter
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In The 47th Samurai, Bob Lee Swagger, the gritty hero of Stephen Hunter's bestselling novels Point of Impact and Time to Hunt, returns in Hunter's most intense and exotic thriller to date.
Bob Lee Swagger and Philip Yano are bound together by a single moment at Iwo Jima, 1945, when their fathers, two brave fighters on opposite sides, met in the bloody and chaotic battle for the island. Only Earl Swagger survived.
More than sixty years later, Yano comes to America to honor the legacy of his heroic father by recovering the sword he used in the battle. His search has led him to Crazy Horse, Idaho, where Bob Lee, ex-marine and Vietnam veteran, has settled into a restless retirement and immediately pledges himself to Yano's quest.
Bob Lee finds the sword and delivers it to Yano in Tokyo. On inspection, they discover that it is not a standard WWII blade, but a legendary shin-shinto katana, an artifact of the nation. It is priceless but worth killing for. Suddenly Bob is at the center of a series of terrible crimes he barely understands but vows to avenge. And to do so, he throws himself into the world of the samurai, Tokyo's dark, criminal yakuza underworld, and the unwritten rules of Japanese culture.
Swagger's allies, hard-as-nails, American-born Susan Okada and the brave, cocaine-dealing tabloid journalist Nick Yamamoto, help him move through this strange, glittering, and ominous world from the shady bosses of the seamy Kabukicho district to officials in the highest echelons of the Japanese government, but in the end, he is on his own and will succeed only if he can learn that to survive samurai, you must become samurai.
As the plot races and the violence escalates, it becomes clear that a ruthless conspiracy is in place, and the only thing that can be taken for granted is that money, power, and sex can drive men of all nationalities to gruesome extremes. If Swagger hopes to stop them, he must be willing not only to die but also to kill.
"Bob Lee Swagger, retired marine master sniper and hero of bestseller Hunter's 1993 thriller, Point of Impact (forthcoming as the film Shooter), returns in this riveting homage to the myth of the samurai. Philip Yano, the son of the Japanese officer who commanded the bunker on Iwo Jima where Swagger's marine father won the Medal of Honor in 1945, approaches Swagger about a missing sword wielded by his father, Hideki, during the battle for the island. The sword turns out to be not just a family heirloom but a national treasure that evokes echoes from the most sacrosanct corners of Japanese history. Yano's search reveals there are those who will gladly kill for the honor it bestows upon the possessor. Plunged into a Japan where honor and loyalty outweigh even one's own life, Swagger finds that an old warrior like himself still has much to understand. While the action builds to the inevitable climax, the joy of the journey will keep readers turning the pages. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Bob Lee Swagger, the hero of Stephen Hunter's 13th novel, 'The 47th Samurai,' is a type we recognize immediately: a heroic figure who might have been at home battling with Beowulf or serving King Arthur. He's with us still, scarred, abused by governments and politicians, but ever committed to a high sense of duty and conduct. D.H. Lawrence famously said that the American hero is a cold, isolate killer,... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) and Swagger is indeed a killer, but having adapted to the more modern expectations of a hero, he also has a loving family around him to whom he is quite tender. He comes from a long line of warriors, or, as they are often referred to in this novel, samurai. Such figures are not meant to be humans like you or me, folks who've never slain scores of honorable foes in battle or sewn up our own gaping wounds with a needle and thread and nary a whimper, displaying nothing but a manly grimace and cool efficiency. That's why we want to read about them. Swagger's father, Earl, was himself a notable warrior hailing from the scrub-oak barrens of Blue Eye, Ark. In this novel, a long-ago battle that the father survived is intertwined with the quest Bob Lee embarks upon in contemporary times. During World War II there was great bloodletting on an island in the Pacific, during which Earl displayed exemplary courage and found himself face to face with a Japanese officer who displayed the same honorable qualities. Earl gains ownership of the officer's sword, and six decades later the search for that sword leads Bob Lee into a sort of violent communion with the legacy of his father, the Japanese officer and, in a sense, all warriors past and present. The sword turns out to be utterly unique. It's of great spiritual value to the Japanese, a legend thought to have been lost forever. When Bob Lee returns the sword to the son of the Japanese officer, a gesture from one warrior to another, Japanese gangsters massacre the family and steal it. Bob Lee takes the butchering of his new brother in arms personally, of course, and vows vengeance. He is willing to go into Japan alone to slay the evildoers, though he does not speak the language or know much about the culture. There is a tradition in manly writing of supplying the reader not only with a fictional experience but also with short primers on how one ought to do things: Hemingway described how best to set a grasshopper on a fishhook or bomb a bridge; Ian Fleming's Bond novels told readers how to order salmon, where the best cigarettes came from, what brand of wristwatch to wear. Hunter spends many interesting pages on the history of swords and sword fighting, the way of the samurai, the identifying marks that the great metal craftsmen imprinted on their deadly works. It all comes in handy because this present-day novel has a great deal of sword fighting, as if everyone involved had agreed to abide by archaic codes of conduct and bring back the old-time spirituality and dignity to acts of bloodshed. As in so many epics of long ago, people are split, hacked apart, dismembered while still alive. Here is a rather mild example of the graphic, even loving detail with which Hunter describes the violence: 'All limbs and necks were severed. Torsos were sundered diagonally and horizontally. In two cases, pelvic bones had been cut through, seemingly with one clean stroke. In another case, rib bones were sheared in two at roughly a forty-five-degree angle to the spine. All spines were severed. ... The cleanness with which the bones were separated at the site of each incision suggests a weapon traveling at considerable velocity.' If the wholesale violence is not a deterrent, readers will find that Washington Post film critic Hunter is a great entertainer, one of our finest practitioners of the classic blood-soaked and propulsive American thriller. With fluid, confident prose he writes big stories of a man, mostly alone, who must go forth for us all and slay the dragon. And, dear reader, there are yet dragons about, cleverly passing as rogue elements of the government, gangsters, terrorists from abroad, disguised but still with us. Daniel Woodrell is the author of 'Winter's Bone' and seven other novels. He lives in Howell County, Mo."

While the upcoming 12-inch MacBook has all the buzz, this 13-inch system gets a handful of updates to remain a top choice for combining power and portability.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is satisfyingly simple tablet, but its lackluster screen and relatively high price make it forgettable.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2's brilliant screen, plentiful storage capacity and slender build make it a great tablet for everyday use at home or on the go.
The large, sharp screen of the 9.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is great for watching media and playing games at home or on the road.
The 10-inch tablet has no price, but we're going to take a wild guess and say it'll be pretty cheap.
Pricing not available
The Lenovo ThinkCentre Chromebox doesn't exactly inspire, but if you or your employees need simple online access, it performs well for a very small investment.
Designed for use with DJI's Inspire 1 drone, the new cameras feature large image sensors and interchangeable lenses.
Current 15-inch MacBook Pro owners won't feel the need to upgrade, but the handful of tweaks included here keep this expensive system at the top of the list for powerful midsize laptops.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a simple tablet worth picking up for its low price, and its valuable extras sweeten the deal even more.
The iMac with 5K Retina display now starts at $1,999, but keeps last year's CPUs.

Security Features for Online Banking
Interior Savings has introduced a high-security web certificate from VerSign that positively identifies our website, www.interiorsavings.com as being authentic. Visitors to our website will see a green address and a security status bar with a pad lock that toggles between Interior Savings Credit Union [CA] and Identified by VeriSign. If you click on the security bar you'll find more information that confirms our website is authenticated by VeriSign.
Increased Authentication
The first time you login with your 16 digit Member Card number, you'll be asked to set up some new security features:
Security Questions
We will also ask you to pick three security questions and provide answers for these. This information is associated with your MemberDirect information and the trusted computers that you use. If you access online banking from a new or public computer or a computer that you have not permanently registered, you'll be prompted to answer one of these previously set-up security questions in order to authenticate your identity.
Security Image and Caption
You will need to pick a security image and caption that you will recognize. This security image and caption will appear each time you login, and it's a way you can ensure you are using Interior Savings' online banking site.
These measures are designed to help prevent password or "phishing" scams. Phishing is an attempt to fraudulently acquire personal information such as usernames, passwords and account numbers. If you sign into online banking and the security image and caption doesn't appear, please close the site and re-enter www.interiorsavings.com If your security image and caption appears, you know you are using our secure online banking site.
Encryption ensures that information cannot be read in transit or changed by scrambling the data using a complex mathematical formula. Some browsers can create a more secure channel than others, owing to the 'strength' of their encryption. We use only the strongest channel available - referred to as 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer).
If you have a browser that only supports 'weaker' encryption such as 40-bit or 56-bit SSL, you will need to upgrade your browser before using our site. The longer and more complex the 'key' is, the stronger the encryption. The 40 and 128 refer to the length of the key. Since 128 is longer, than 40, it is more secure. According to Netscape, 128-bit encryption is trillions of times stronger than 40-bit encryption.
If you have any questions about online banking please review our help section or call our technical support line at 1-866-932-2490 and our knowledgeable staff will be happy to help you.

Rockfax Description14m. A weird wandering route, though with some interesting climbing and more interesting positions. Climb to the top of the boulder in the back of the chimney via the crack on the right then balance right to join Right Wall. Climb to the overhang then move left before crawling up through the jammed boulders to an exit on the left. Told you it was weird. © ROCKFAX
UKC Logbook DescriptionClimb past the right side of the boulder near the base of the chimney and make a delicate traverse right to the crack of Right Wall. Move up to the roof and traverse back left to belay (avoids rope drag). Crawl up and out through the boulders and traverse left to the top of the climbs on the left wall of Lover's Leap. Spectacular finish.
This route went from bad to worse, no wonder no one has logged it since 1992. How does it get a star? Foot traverse was green and horrible, second traverse was green and horrible, ar�te was green... Got to an improvised stance in the back cave where Matt had retreated from the 'weird' stomach traverse. Rubbish. Alex Hallam - 2nd dnf - 28/Sep/14 with Matt Rust
Note to self - don't bother climbing routes that appear green from below and also have the green kermit icon in the rockfax - regardless of dubiously awarded stars!rustaldo - Lead O/S - 28/Sep/14 with Alex

Hospital bombing kills 10 in Syria's Aleppo
Sat Sep 8, 2012 5:20PM
Meanwhile, the Syrian troops engaged armed groups near Damascus on Saturday and killed about 200 insurgents.Also in the capital, a car bombing hit the western neighborhood of Mezzeh on Friday, but the attack left no casualties. Many people, including large numbers of security forces, have been killed in the turmoil that began in Syria in March 2011. On July 18, a bomb attack on the headquarters of the National Security Bureau in Damascus killed Syrian Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, Deputy Defense Minister Assef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani. National Security Bureau chief Hisham Bakhtiar also died, two days later, of the wounds sustained in the attack. The anti-Syria Western regimes have been calling for President Bashar al-Assad to step down, but Russia and China oppose the Western drive to oust the Syrian president. On September 6, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, "Why should Russia be the only one reassessing its position (on Syria)? Perhaps our negotiating partners (West) should reassess their position."

Migration, Self-selection and Returns to Education in the WAEMU
Using data from labour force surveys conducted simultaneously in the capital cities of seven West African Economic and Monetary Union countries, we estimate a model of residential location choice in which expected earnings play a role. The model is first estimated in a reduced form. Estimates are then used to correct for the endogeneity of locational choice in the earnings equations estimated for each country. We find that migration behaviour has a significant effect in shaping earnings differentials between education levels and between the seven capital cities. Corrected predicted earnings in each country are then used as an independent variable in a structural multinomial logit of residential choice. Results show that individuals tend to reside in countries in which their expected earnings are higher than elsewhere. Copyright 2010 The author 2009.

February 10, 2011 (BRONX, NY) The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the world's largest organization dedicated to cancer research, has awarded Susan Band Horwitz, Ph.D., the Rose C. Falkenstein Professor of Cancer Research and co-chair of molecular pharmacology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, its Eighth Award for Lifetime Achievement in Cancer Research.
Dr. Horwitz, who is also the associate director for experimental therapeutics at the Albert Einstein Cancer Center, is being honored for her pioneering research that established the mechanism of action of the cancer chemotherapeutic drug Taxol, also known as paclitaxel, which prompted the development of this drug as an important therapy for many common solid tumors. Taxol has been used by more than one million patients worldwide to treat cancers of the ovary, breast and lung.
"Dr. Horwitz has had a direct impact on millions of cancer patients around the world through her work in understanding the mechanisms of action of paclitaxel and other cytotoxic drugs," said Margaret Foti, Ph.D., M.D. (h.c.), chief executive officer of the AACR. "Her remarkable career and pivotal scientific contributions have influenced our understanding of how cancer drugs work and how to translate that knowledge into improved strategic treatments."
"This award has great meaning for me because it results from a decision made by my peers," said Dr. Horwitz. "This honor recognizes my laboratory and all of the students, fellows and visiting scientists, who have contributed so much to my research program."
Dr. Horwitz began investigating Taxol in 1977, after its isolation from the bark of the Pacific yew tree, Taxus brevifolia, by two medicinal chem

Greek train operators strike over wage cuts, tax hikes
Tue Jan 1, 2013 7:5PM
"I believe they have every right to strike even if it means the rest of us have a hard time getting around," Stelios Livieratos, a retired bookseller said.Meanwhile, another Greek, Dikaios said the strike only makes it difficult for average people and has no impact on the government policies. "At every year-end we talk about our hopes for the next year, and every year things get worse," said Dikaios. The Greek government says the austerity measures, which since September have sparked numerous protests across Greece, are needed to tackle the country's debt crisis. According to the government, the third round of austerity measures in two years, which reduces wages, pensions, benefits and jobs in the public sector, would be the last painful cuts to incomes. Greeks say they are wary of the government's promises to create jobs and growth because they feel the high taxes, record unemployment and austerity fatigue on a daily-basis. GVN/PKH/SS

ATLANTA and TRENTON, N.J., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Providence Service Corporation (Nasdaq: PRSC) today announced that its LogistiCare subsidiary, the nation's largest coordinator of non-emergency transportation (NET) services, has received notice of award from the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS), Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS), to provide basic non-emergency transportation services for the fee-for-service Medicaid population in Essex, Hudson, and other selected counties, as well as higher levels of service statewide.
The approximately $300 million contract, valued initially at $55 million annually depending on enrollment, is expected to take effect July 1, 2009. It has an initial term of three years and contains two one-year renewal options that run through 2014. The award is subject to finalized contracts and various processing procedures. New Jersey DHS first announced its intent to award the contract to LogistiCare in November 2008.
"We are extremely pleased to be able to expand our medical transportation services to the people of New Jersey," said John Shermyen, LogistiCare's CEO. "This contract award is a testament to LogistiCare's record of performance throughout the country, as well as to the increasingly widespread acceptance of the brokerage model as a best-practice for managing Medicaid transportation services."
LogistiCare expects to hire over 55 local staff to manage the New Jersey contract and will be opening a major call center in Edison and a satellite office in Trenton. Direct transportation services will be provided by local New Jersey transportation providers under contract to LogistiCare.
LogistiCare has operated in New Jersey since January of this year, when it began providing services for Wellcare Medicare members. L
