DEAR ABBY: I am the single dad of two teenage boys (17 and 18) who are both in high school. I am wondering about something they do with their friends. The boys take showers in large groups. When they come in from running or sports, or if a group is spending the night, they shower in groups of two, three or four. Itĺs not like we have a huge shower Ś itĺs normal size.
I know thereĺs nothing sexual going on because I can hear them talking and joking around. When I asked the boys about this, they looked at me like I had two heads. They said it was just a social thing and the same as showering together after football in the school gym.
They also ôair dryö after showers by walking around in towels, sometimes watching TV or goofing off for hours while in their towels. When going out, they get naked in the bathroom, fixing their hair, shaving, brushing their teeth, etc. Itĺs like a big ônude festö with them and their friends.
While Iĺm glad they are comfortable with their bodies and who they are, it still bothers me somewhat. Am I being a prude in thinking this is unusual or inappropriate? Ś STUMPED IN KENTUCKY
DEAR STUMPED: I see nothing inappropriate about what your sons and their friends are doing. Nor do I want to label you a prude. You are just not as comfortable in your skin as your sons and their ôjockö friends are. Is it possible that they take after their mother?
DEAR ABBY: My best friend and I do everything together and I love her, so when she showed up at the gym in ôbooty shorts,ö I didnĺt say a word, even though they donĺt flatter her one bit. Heck, thereĺs a mirror on every wall, so she must have liked what she saw, and itĺs none of my business.
When she wore them to a school sporting event, my husband accused me of being a ôbad friendö for not telling her that her rear view was getting the wrong kind of attention. Some of the other parents in the bleachers were snickering.
I guess if the situation were reversed, Iĺd want my best friend to give me a hint, but Iĺm not exactly sure how to do it. Am I wrong to just keep my mouth shut and mind my own business? Ś ANONYMOUS IN A SMALL TOWN
DEAR ANONYMOUS: Allow me to provide a couple of hints. First, tell your friend when you are alone and canĺt be overheard, which will spare her unnecessary embarrassment. Second, ask, ôWhen you bought those shorts, did you get a look at yourself from the back?ö If she says no, provide her with a mirror so she can look over her shoulder at herself. Then explain that at the school event, some of the other parents were staring, and not too kindly.
You will be doing her a favor to speak up. That is what friendship is all about. And if sheĺs smart, sheĺll thank you.
DEAR ABBY: I met this beautiful and awesome lady last Saturday and slept with her that night. Sunday, we spent most of the day texting back and forth. I asked her to dinner on Monday and she accepted. We did more texting on Tuesday night, which I initiated.
So, my question is, how much texting and pursuing is too much in trying to hang out with this woman? Iĺm really interested in her. Ś PRETTY COOL DUDE IN MINNESOTA
DEAR PRETTY COOL DUDE: How about giving her 24 hours to catch her breath? Because she keeps saying yes, the signs are good so far. Just be careful that in your enthusiasm your ardor doesnĺt come across as overwhelming. If you do all the chasing, youĺll deprive her of the pleasure of chasing you back.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Navy Secretary Ray Mabus was in Jackson Friday meeting with Mississippi university and community college officials. President Barack Obama appointed him to oversee the Gulf Coast's recovery and restoration from the BP oil spill.
"How do we make sure the gulf is whole economically? How do we make sure the gulf is whole environmentally?" asked Secretary Mabus. Those are the questions he is working with Mississippi's universities and community colleges to find answers for.
"Research that our institutions of higher learning can do, the job skill training and retraining our community colleges can do will be absolutely crucial," said Mabus.
As BP monitors the containment cap over the well, research is cranking up at colleges all across the state.
Commissioner of Higher Education Dr. Hank Bounds said the schools see the work as a responsibility to the people of Mississippi and the country. "Research needs are going to be enormous over the next decade," said Dr. Bounds. "The real work begins on research in terms of figuring out what the impact is now that we carefully understand the magnitude of the spill."
Institutions of higher learning are already making great strides researching the economic and environmental impact of the oil in the gulf. The FDA just gave Mississippi State University's chemical lab approval for a new procedure to analyze collected oil and tissue samples.
"The process is going to allow a number of other labs to do this procedure and to do it in a much more cost effective and timely manner so that we can get answers back to people on whether the food products, the shellfish and other food products are in fact safe to eat," said Dr. David Shaw, Vice President for Research and Economic Development at Mississippi State University.
The research spans many issues including mental health. For example, Mississippi State is already working to help families deal with added stress due to the spill. Students are also volunteering their time to help.

This single pitch route is located right under the first rap off the summit of the Third Flatiron, and starts from the South Bowl (where that first rap ends). However, I will describe the climb starting from Friday's Folly Ledge (end of the second rap). This route is called Friday's Folly Direct in Rossiter. Climbing Friday's or Saturday's Folly to this ledge, and then finishing via the West Door (or what Rossiter calls Friday's Folly Direct) makes for a fun summit route. From the west eyebolt on Friday's Folly Ledge, head straight up a pair of wide cracks to a piton (easy). Clip the piton and step right and head up the arete, just right of a large overhang (fun 5.7). From here you can either traverse right to the eyebolt of the second rappel, or head back left above the overhang and belay above (easy but exposed arete). The West Door pitch now looms above in a two tiered overhang, directly west of the summit area. Breach the first tier by following a thin, steep crack in black rock. Possibly this section is only 5.7 (Rossiter's rating) if you are 6' 4" like Layton Kor. Move slightly right a few feet to a crack which goes through the second overhang. Place gear and crank over and clip the summit eyebolt. When you are cranking this move you are in the same place as someone starting the rap off the top, so try to do the route when nobody is coming down. Rossiter calls this route 5.7, but it seemed solid 5.8 to me. Alternatively, after ascending the first tier, move left up a ramp instead of climbing up where the rappel starts and emerge onto the summit from the west. I believe this is the original route followed by Kor.
Wires and small cams.
Talking with others who have done the West Door has made me realize that I did a harder variation. Apparently, once one passes the first tier, the normal route follows the narrow ledge LEFT (not slightly right a few feet as described above), and eventually it is possible to climb up to the summit more easily. Legend has it a group including Kor were on the summit area, but then Kor disappeared down the east side, and minutes later he appeared coming up the west side of the summit, hence the name "the West Door". Can anybody provide a reference (maybe a story by Pat Ament?)?
The "piton" on the first pitch (above Friday's Folly Ledge) is a rusty spike driven into a bolt hole and the funky thing is not encouraging, especially considering the 25' runout above it. Fortunately you can get a good red or yellow Alien about 6' higher in a horizontal crack (it's a good handhold too), but there is still a good runout above this piece.
I finally got to do West Door yesterday. I agree with George that it is solid 5.8. To my amazement Gerry Roach calls it 5.6 in his celebrated Flatiron's Classics!... major sand bag. Not to belabor a point, besides it being stiff, protection is scant (small stopper placement in initial crack, too low to stop you from decking) until you breach the overhang at which point you don't really need it... Once on the ramp head left in it and scramble up to the summit on easy rock.
In the 1970 version of High Over Boulder on page 155 it reads as follows: "Variation 3: West Door. 5.5. This exposed route is rarely climbed. It was created when a summit party (Baker Armstrong, et al.) watched Layton Kor disappear down the East Face and suddenly emerge behind them from the west."
5.8 if you are 5'10". I can see where taller could be easier, as you could skip the smaller sidepull.

Lee County- November fifth is almost here, and Georgians will have to decide who they want to represent them in public some people have no idea whose running for office, while others do.
Covenant Church is one of the voting precincts hundreds of voters will go to on November fifth, but many say they don't know who to vote for because many candidates have similar campaigns.
Some say it will be hard to decide who will get their vote because none of the candidates have original ideas and campaigns. Others say when you see all of the negative advertising it's hard to understand who stands for what and what each person is running for.
One thing that most people say is that they will have to brush up on state candidates, so they will be ready when voting day comes.

Crest Hill Council is paving the way for the closing of Stateville
From our friends at Cresthill2009 from July 21st 2009
The City Council is paving the way for the closing of Stateville. Their resolution last night might as well have been a white flag of surrender. They said how the closing will hurt Crest Hill, they talked about broken agreements, and asked for everyone to support keeping the prison. They did not however make a case for how the State benefits from keeping Stateville open and they did not make any move to enforce their past agreements.
I spent a year going toe-to-toe with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections over a prison several years ago and have spoken with other cities that have fought for prisons in various states, so I have some knowledge of what works and what does not. In the end the State does not care if the jobs are in Crest Hill or some town somewhere else, they do not care if a few hundred local people write them letters, or if inmates are a bit more overcrowded. They do care about how much it costs them to run a prison. The city needs to dive into the numbers to make their case. They need to prove that it makes financial sense to keep Stateville open and if that case cannot be made then they need to show what can be changed to make it possible.
A financial strategy focused on the State's pocketbook has been a part of every similar long term victory when a city fights a State Department of Corrections.
The other keys are to make the case visible State-wide and to enforce contracts. If they agreed to buy a certain amount of water and have a certain amount of sewerage, then hold them to that regardless of actual use. Let them pay for an empty prison if that is what they want. And if we cannot convince residents of all areas of Illinois why Stateville needs to remain open, we stand no chance of convincing the Governor and State Legislature.
The best the city can hope for with their current strategy is to keep Stateville off the chopping block until the next budget and then fight this battle again, eventually losing. If we are serious about wanting to keep Stateville open then it is time to make a serious effort.
Drew Peterson change venue
JOLIET, Ill.-
Since Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in 2007 the case has been the subject of scores of news reports – many of which have included appearances by Brodsky and Peterson.
Peterson is a suspect in Stacy Peterson's disappearance, but hasn't been charged.
The motion is scheduled to be heard in Will County on Aug. 14.

Obama:Cyber tsar may turn screws on Internet freedom
Government surveillance, says cyber crime expert Berin Szoka.
Reality in Joliet that hurts the pocket book.
As the city of Joliet wrestles with a deficit that could reach $67 million by 2012, officials gave residents a cold shower as to what's planned for water rates.
Joliet wants to eliminate the current 70 percent rebate on the daily water rate for homeowners as well as the 100 percent daily rebate for senior citizens.
Then the city would jack up water and sewer use charges by 35 percent followed by annual 5 percent water and sewer rate increases.
Homeowners also would face a 25 percent hike in their property taxes, generating $9 million, and a utility tax increase for another $3 million.
With the economy barely crawling back from its near-depression status, higher water rates and property taxes are the last things city homeowners need but an unfortunate reality that appears unavoidable but could have been avoided if the current political faction would have been paying attention and not being asleep at the wheel.
Four plead not guilty to Channahon murder
The defendants and the victims were acquaintances but the authorities haven't explained any motive for the home invasion, other than calling it a robbery.
The victims were taken to Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center, Joliet. The woman was treated and released. Terdic died Friday.
Orasco, Edwards, Hill and Vetor were arrested July 7 and charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and home invasion. The charges were upgraded to murder Friday. Vetor's bond was $1 million. The other three were held on warrants with no bond.
While in Richardson's courtroom Monday, Will County Assistant State's Attorney Mike Casson asked the judge to set each defendant's bond at $10 million. But Will County Assistant Public Defender Greg DeBord, the chief felony assistant, argued that his clients' bond shouldn't be that high.
"Nothing has changed. When bond is set, the court must consider the nature of the circumstances of the offense," DeBord said. "(The facts) were known by the state at the time (of the arrests). The only thing that has changed is the victim has died."
http://wjol.com ¦ Evergreen Terrace
http://wjol.com Joliet City Public Information Officer Kevin Hegerty says that last week's action by a U S Appeals Court to deny a motion by the owners of Evergreen Terrace was another step in the right direction. Earlier this year, a federal court ruling stated that Joliet has the right to proceed with the condemnation of Evergreen Terrace, after years of battles between the city and the housing project's owners over general conditions and upkeep. Hegerty says now that the U S Appeals Court has also sided with the city, there is really only one more place the Evergreen Terrance owners can go, which is the United States Supreme Court. The owners have 90 days from the July 14th ruling to file an appeal. The city intends to relocate the Evergreen Terrace tennants, and then tear down the structire once all the appeals are heard.
Joliet Jakes comments:
It is about time to shut that eyesore down and build something new in it's place, Kick all of em to the street! They are people, Lookin for the state to pay their way for them…..Life is hard….I guess when it does close up the section 8's will have to Deal with it. Evergreen has been A failure forever, And always will be!!

The conservative candidate for our constituency at the next general election, Shaun Bailey, has said he is "disappointed to hear about the decision of the council to grant approval to the Goldhawk Road Industrial Estate development". This decision by our council, run by his own party, would have a negative effect on local businesses he says. They of course, including Innocent Drinks who employ over 100 local people, will now have to move out to make way for the council's property developers.
'Disappointed' is quite a mild word but it probably reflects how far Mr Bailey can go in criticising his own local party. I'm not sure it will really be strong enough for the voters of Brackenbury, who the tories really need in their quest to win the new Hammersmith constituency which includes the Bush.
The relevance of this to the Bush is that this is a pretty good example to my mind of the Council making far reaching changes to our environment that affect people's lives, not really listening too much to local people if that planning meeting was anything to go by, and not even being held to account very strongly by someone who aspires to represent the area in parliament. Residents living close to Westfield might even think I am talking about them. Redevelopment of Shepherd's Bush Green anyone?
I am not trying to tell anyone how to vote – I would just say that Shaun Bailey has now demonstrated how timid he would be in sticking up for local people against their local authority if he was elected our new MP. Our current MP Andy Slaughter must be delighted.

Butterflies, Flowers 8Posted: August 16, 2011 Filed under: Butterflies Flowers Leave a comment
Yuki Yoshihara – Viz – 2011 – 8 volumes
Yay, final volume! This has been up there with Tramps Like Us as one of my absolute favorites of the josei I've read. Both are great, and Tramps Like Us is better, but Butterflies, Flowers is definitely funnier.
One of its best qualities is highlighted in the first story of this volume. One of the chapters is about an arranged marriage between Choko and a wealthy family her father is indebted to. The dramatic tension isn't very high, since this is the last volume and I knew this wasn't going to go anywhere. But for some reason, Masayuki goes along with this, and even attends as her butler at the meeting between Choko and her future spouse. There's all sorts of sadness and drama, not only because of the marriage, but because Masayuki is forcing Choko to say all the right things to make her a perfect bride.
But the reason I love this series is that Masayuki also knows the exact right time to say something shockingly inappropriate. Like, not only funny, but a real mood-smasher, too. Which is okay, because Butterflies, Flowers is best at its character-based humor, and Masayuki's horrible innuendo is the reason I read.
But seriously. The first chapter of this volume. I couldn't believe that came out of his mouth. Bravo.
As expected, marriage is discussed several times in the chapters here. There's some feeling affirmation, some other stuff… but what's interesting is that, while both of them want to get married, the hang-up at the very end is that Masayuki can't give up calling Choko "Milady." He can't call her by her first name, and she doesn't want to be addressed like a mistress in marriage.
The real proposal was sudden, but Masayuki does something hilarious and inappropriate to make up for it. Not inappropriate in the sexual innuendo sense, but in the social sense. It's definitely the most memorable marriage proposal I've ever seen. And Choko pursues him relentlessly because of it. Choko gets to use a lot of underhanded tricks. Including her parents. It was genuinely funny, and I laughed hard through the last chapter or two. Romance manga that are both genuinely romantic and genuinely funny at the same time are a rare treat.
The last chapter is all sorts of funny and sad, and I wouldn't have traded that last scene between them for the world. It was obvious how it was going to end, so it doesn't get many points for creativity story-wise. But I love and adore Masayuki and Choko, and seeing them together was great all the way to the end.
This series gets a high recommendation from me. Even if you don't normally read romance manga, this one might be worth picking up anyway. My roommate usually hates them, and he seemed to genuinely enjoy this one after I forced it on him. It really is both that funny and that touching. And outrageously full of innuendo. Seriously. Masayuki, you try so hard.

Yuki Yoshihara – Viz – 2011 – 8 volumes
I was very, very worried that this humorous and charming series would step over into the drama side. The last volume ended very badly, and that's never really happened before. Since when has the silly, devoted Masayuki had eyes for anybody but Choko?
The Masayuki side of the drama is sorted out in the first chapter of this book. I was a little underwhelmed by what was "actually" happening, especially since it's so out-of-character for Masayuki to not let Choko in on what was going on.
It's the Choko side of the drama that troubled me most, though. Her new boss is set on stealing her away from Masayuki, and he resorts to dirty tricks to do it. Dirty tricks that wound Choko deeply. It takes Masayuki a lot of effort to comfort her after what her boss did. What's worse, instead of taking any sort of action against her boss, she simply tells him off the next time she sees him at work. Really? REALLY?! Masayuki's sexual harassment is one thing, especially since the two were so clearly an item immediately. What the boss does is something else, and it really upset me that no action was taken.
It also upset me that something like that even came up in Butterflies, Flowers. Something identical happened at the end of Sensual Phrase. Sensual Phrase took it uncharacteristically seriously though, and spent a long time examining the after-effects. Sensual Phrase is also a drama. But something like that has no place in Butterflies, Flowers, a series that I enjoy for its sense of humor. When the light mood is gone, it's really upsetting, and I hate seeing the characters go through something like that.
After that… whole business, the stories go back to focus on Choko keeping Masayuki's silliness in check. The two chapters at the end of the book were very charming. One was about how the other office ladies couldn't believe that Choko wasn't having sex with Masayuki more frequently, given his massive sex appeal. Meanwhile, Masayuki pulls every sort of gag possible in an effort to get Choko in the mood, which of course backfires horribly and lays Choko's fears to rest. It's funny stuff. The last story is about just how much Choko's yutaka means to Masayuki.
Again, this series is all about how charming and funny Masayuki can be, and how close his relationship with Choko is. Masayuki can take almost any story and make it funny, and to waste him on drama is a crime. I'm glad the stories seem to have reverted back to the old ways at the end of this volume, and I'm really, really, REALLY looking forward to the next one, the final in the series. I'm hoping Masayuki will be in rare form.

Yuki Yoshihara – Viz – 2011 – 8 volumes
After enjoying the absurd silliness of volume 5, the drama in this volume came as something of a shock. I like this series a lot for its light touch and sense of humor, and Masayuki's hilariously terrifying presence, and it's almost as if drama has no place in the happy relationship between Choko and Masayuki. So when romantic rivals for both characters appear in this volume, things get very ugly.
The volume starts out innocently enough, with a cute one-shot about Choko moving back in with her family, but not wanting to move out of Masayuki's apartment. There's all sorts of funny sweetness in this story, though it's only of moderate quality in the context of the series. It's great, don't get me wrong, but Butterflies, Flowers has done better. The second story is another relatively cute one about a work-related hot springs retreat. This… goes about how you think it will, but at the end a few characters sew a few plot-related seeds. Gossip shows that the board of directors is looking to overthrow the president of the company, and also that Masayuki was involved in a relationship with another woman before Choko began working at the company. Choko gets jealous, but it ends in a relatively pleasing way, with both characters laughing it off. I love it when the manga relationship can weather drama like that unscathed. Rarely are the characters tied together that strongly.
My pleasure was short-lived, however, as the next few chapters introduced a new character, brought in to sort out the board of directors business. He has designs on Choko, and although Choko tries her best to dissuade his advances, he is rather persistent, and Masayuki remains relatively silent on the matter. This character also brings Masayuki's old girlfriend back to the company, and Masayuki begins spending a lot of time with her rather than Choko, again, with no reason why.
The book ends on a very ugly note. What would be par for the course in any other romance manga was extremely upsetting here, since the romance and laughs are usually perfect and reading a volume always makes my day awesome. I wasn't expecting to be so disillusioned by the new path the story took here, and Choko and Masayuki are so out-of-character I feel like I'm suddenly reading a different book. With two volumes left, I hope it's not an ongoing plot thread to the end of the series, because Masayuki being serious and quiet is a waste of a wonderful character.
Oddly enough, this made me want to read the next volume even worse than usual, because I have to know whether things are truly going south or not. What can I say, drama works even in the happiest of series, I guess.

Yuki Yoshihara – Viz – 2010 – 8 volumes
I haven't read this in a long time, which is a mystery. It makes me laugh so hard every time I read it, and Masayuki is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters of all time.
This volume pretty much seals this series' reputation forever in my mind. I do love romances between older couples like this, and I can safely say that this is the first romance comic I've read where the couple has to deal with… erectile dysfunction. Masayuki, with his love of sex and penchant for hilarious dialogue, is the perfect target for such an affliction. And Kuze doesn't help him much, since she's clueless about what this means to Masayuki and says all the wrong things to him. Masayuki cries several times.
That's the gist of the book, but really, it's Masayuki being himself more than the stuff that's going on that makes me love this series. He makes me smile on every page. He's so insistent on what he wants for Kuze, but at the same time dotes on her and takes care of her in every way. He's the ideal Harlequin husband in the worst way, but with a foul mouth. And that's okay, because Masayuki pulls it off.
His attentiveness to Kuze begins to wear on her when she starts to think that Masayuki's dysfunction is related to the fact that their relationship is more master/servant than it is lovers. She tries to break Masayuki of some of his servant habits, but treating her like a princess is something he's fond of. Things get childish on both sides, but not in a bad way, and we find out that Masayuki cries and laments when Kuze holds out on him for treating her like his master… but he can't stop himself. It's just so… him, I guess. Distinctive.
And no matter what Yuki Yoshihara says at the end about reader reactions, his dysfunction in this volume doesn't make Masayuki any less cool.

Yuki Yoshihara – Viz – 2010 – 8 volumes
I have a gut-wrenching love for this series. It is a very mature, office-lady josei series with an older (20-something) woman in a relationship with her handsome and mature boss, set on a path in life and going places.
But then it is so, so immature in everything that it does romantically. Mostly just Masayuki, the love interest. He hits new lows in this volume when he magically appears in Kuze's bed and offers to read her "Edward Penishands."
The two flavors war for supremacy, and I find that it is always to my liking. Its sense of humor really is the best. Especially if you like low blow junior high jokes as much as I do. They always come when they are least expected.
Then again, there's a little part of me that hates some of the more… humiliating and demeaning things that happen to Kuze. She is constantly a prize, which she seems to take in stride and even in good humor, since Masayuki will always save her. Masayuki does constantly sexually harass her, but part of me feels that Kuze would stop it if she didn't secretly enjoy it from him, which is revealed as fact later in this volume. But… the contest between Masayuki and another suitor (who characters warn "not to get within seven feet of for fear of pregnancy"), where they are seeing who can get closer to Kuze's "neither regions" over the course of three days, in order to determine Masayuki's future, is a little much. Just a wee bit. Especially since the "suitor" is the president of the company both of them work for. That's all sorts of ugly.
But the series' sense of humor somehow makes it okay. Kuze isn't exactly a weeping damsel in distress, though she does seem rather helpless in the face of all this. The war fought over her "neither regions" is done comically, with constant Gundam references flying all over the place and lots of elaborate traps and mecha saves. I think the thing that really makes it okay, though, is that Kuze never really tries to get either of them to stop, when she cries foul they do give up what they're doing, and neither of them try to rape her or even get remotely sexual with her. It really is all for a laugh. That's the difference between this being funny and uncomfortable.
At least, for me it was. I thought it was very, very funny.
Later, Masayuki does stop harassing Kuze, and she misses it very much. They settle a thing or two between them in the last two chapters (pretty typical romance stuff I'm glossing over here, but very important in any romance comic, especially one with a couple as cute as Masayuki and Choko), but I'm hoping that things return to normal next volume. Pervy Masayuki is who I've come to see, honestly, and he's what makes this spectacular.

Yuki Yoshihara – Viz – 2010 – 8 volumes
Masayuki is such a CREEP. I really, really enjoy the humor, but on the other hand, Masayuki is crossing this weird line that I didn't even know existed. Maybe he's made more creepy by the fact he's wearing a suit and keeping a straight face while doing things like asking for sex or loudly discussing Choko's period with the entire office.
There's a suppository chapter. I don't even know what to say about that.
It's still ridiculously romantic when it wants to be, and part of me loves that Masayuki can switch from gallant lover to perverted little boy in the blink of an eye. It's what makes this very much worth reading, but it's creepy all the same.
There are still a few white knight chapters, where Masayuki steps in to save Choko from uncouth men or other bad decisions, but a lot of the focus in this volume is getting the mood just right between Choko and Masayuki so that they can consummate their relationship for the first time. For a manga, there's surprisingly little beating around the bush (even considering the intended audience), and I think Masayuki has a lot to do with that.
There's also a new character introduced, another servant from the former Kuze estate and a childhood friend of both Masayuki and Choko. Jinguji is one of the uncouth men that Masayuki has to save Choko from, but after his initial introduction (he and Masayuki really don't get on well), he blends in and becomes a background character, reappearing for comic relief alongside Choko's brother and Suou at the office. The last thing this series needs is a lot of miscellaneous characters that don't do anything except stand around and crack jokes, so I hope things don't get too much more crowded.
But I like this more and more with every volume. A big part of that is just what a pervy creep Masayuki is, and I think the shock of this is still quite novel. It's also surprisingly crass at points, another thing that I love. But the jokes are funny and the romance is intense when it wants to be, and so far it's been hitting all the right buttons for me. The chapters are still mostly one-shots, and with not very many major milestones for Choko and Masayuki to hit, I'm looking forward to seeing the smaller nuances of their relationship in side stories in the upcoming volumes. As blunt as it is about some things, it is subtle when it comes to the actual relationships, and I like this contrast.

While I really, really like Please Please Me for its insane similarities to Happy Mania, I think my heart lies with more sentimental stories like this, especially when they're written for older women and incredibly well-done. Things like this are super-rare in the US, so I'm quite pleased that we are treated to Butterflies, Flowers.
There's something slightly… off between Choko and Masayuki, and I think it's that Masayuki is very cruel in his teasing. I don't think this is out of place, because I think borderline lewd and slightly cruel behavior is commonplace between two people that are close, especially if they grew up together. It's slightly uncomfortable because I'm not "in" on the joke, I guess, but it seems very natural to me. I think the workplace environment turns it into something more, too, and Choko is always complaining about sexual harassment, but I really only do see it as an overgrown Masayuki teasing his childhood crush in a different setting, appropriate or not. And, I mean, they are dating now.
The format of the series is still one-shot chapters with each contributing to the maturation of the relationship between Choko and Masayuki. Different things happen, like the company president's niece setting her eye on Masayuki and Choko getting terribly jealous, or the two going on their first date, or later not able to go on dates, things like that. Choko is a virgin, so lots of tine is spent with the two of them trying different things to make Choko more comfortable with her new feelings. She wants to have sex, but is too embarassed. Masayuki doesn't help much, because he teases her even then, but the two of them do try, and Masayuki can be nice when he wants to be. There's even a rare moment towards the end of the volume where Masayuki is speechless with embarassment.
I like this a lot better than Suppli, mostly because the latter focuses on introspection rather than just showing you what is going on. Also, I tend to like estabished relationship stories like this, especially when they're more romantic than comedic. Masayuki's teasing is a little uncomfortable, and probably pushes this back just a smidge in the josei manga age range, but I'm still absolutely crazy for this. I'm pleased to see the length is only 8 volumes too, which means we'll probably get a really solid story, too.

Yuki Yoshihara – Viz – 2009 – 8 volumes
Josei is sort of a funny thing. While I like reading it, and I read as much of it as I can, there are very few I actually enjoy. Aside from a couple one-shot volumes, the only josei series published in English that I actually enjoyed was Tramps Like Us. Happy Mania was great and I loved it in the end, but it was hard to figure out until much later. I dislike Suppli because it's hard to follow its sense of place and time and I can't really get a bead on the main character. Sorry, Happy Mania and Suppli.
Butterflies, Flowers may be what I've been looking for since Tramps Like Us ended, however. Kuze's formerly wealthy family went bankrupt during the economic crisis in the 90s, and they dismissed all their servants, including Kuze's former favorite Cha-chan. Living a normal life without all the money, Kuze just started a new job as an office lady under a tyrant boss she soon finds out is her childhood Cha-chan.
It seemed a little off at first, but I think the reason I like this as much as Tramps Like Us is that it strikes just the right balance between serious situations, humor, and romance. Cha-chan, or Director Domoto, frequently terrorizes Kuze and makes her life miserable in fairly comedic ways. Kuze takes it, but comes through as a former aristocrat in a couple tight spots. They don't have any chemistry at first aside from the comedic way Kuze simply collapses in disbelief under Domoto's demands, but later the two begin exploring their feelings for each other in little subtle snippets. Domoto seems to like Kuze, but may just be acting on his former need to protect her as a servant. Kuze does eventually warm up to him, but she may be the one who has to open up affectionately to him since she's not sure if Domoto is serious. Incredibly, breaking the ice about their feelings only takes one chapter, something else I like about it. There are various crises in each chapter, and other characters at the office make life hard for Kuze since she is a rookie and a clear favorite, and there are other aspects of her job that the story takes seriously as well. But the story does a good job of giving everything equal time as it goes on.
So far, the format is similar to Tramps Like Us, too. Each chapter is a one-shot story that also has a little character development, which seems to be taking the place of an overarching plot in the same way it did with Tramps Like Us, which is fine by me. There's no real continuity between the chapters, and the stories are things like… a possible rival for Domoto (something that is taken care of almost immediately and probably won't come up again, thankfully, but we got an awesome side character out of it), Kuze giving up socializing with coworkers to help out at her family's noodle shop on a busy day, and learning how far she has to go in her job training. Other than the romantic rival, the stories are different enough from the standard one-shot fodder to make them interesting reading, and Domoto and Kuze's constant needling of one another also make reading the mundane-sounding material a joy.
I loved it. I was a little leery, and it took me a chapter or two to warm up, but I was a complete convert by the end of the book. I can't wait to read more of this. Highly recommended, especially if you're like me and are a little older than the standard target audience for shoujo, but like it anyway. This is exactly what I want josei to be, just a well-done shoujo story for older women.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- You may not find any bargains in the dairy aisle this year.
Bob Kappers was in his barn Monday afternoon doing the same as the day before, caring for his dairy cows. Farmers in the region are putting out more milk but the consumers are seeing an increase in price.
How can this be?
We contacted five major milk suppliers in Rochester: Target, Walmart, Hy-Vee, Kwik Trip, and Cub Foods. The average price? $3.79 a gallon. That's 27 cents higher than the national October average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"There's a lot of big factors that play into it," said Chatfield dairy farmer Bob Kappers. "I think right now it's the feed cost. And feed supply or availability."
Smaller operations are most likely getting hit harder due mainly in part to the tough summer.
"Feed supply is tight," Kappers explained. "We're good probably until spring we'll end up buying some feed. We're just kind of playing it by ear now."'
However, after farming for 27 years, Kappers knows a backup plan is a must.
"Most of the feed we just buy from neighbors -- other local farmers. Hopefully it will be there when we need it. Maybe we'll squeeze by. I don't know," Kappers said.
Milk production in Minnesota has increased three percent since last October.
In the past 10 years, the national pricing trend going into December increases by just a penny. However, nothing is a given in the dairy industry which relies on supply and demand.

Sadly, some will still believe Boise State pulled off an upset Saturday. But that isn't the case. After the Broncos sacked Murray twice on Georgia's final possession, Boise State took over on the Bulldogs' three-yard line with eight seconds remaining. Moore took a knee. It was an act of mercy. Boise State didn't need style points. It had proven itself the superior program long before.

A favorite pick for the Panthers by many at CSR, Alabama junior CB Dre Kirkpatrick (Bengals #17 pick this year) may likely not be a rookie starter this season.
"Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer ... predicts Cincy's starting corners will be Leon Hall and Nate Clements on Opening Day. He also suggested (CB Dre) Kirkpatrick hasn't looked NFL ready so far at OTA's ... (CB) Jareem Jackson (the Texans #20 pick in the 2010 draft, so far a draft bust) came out of Alabama profiling relatively similar to Kirkpatrick. Jackson wasn't ready as a rookie, either."
This report might be something to remember in the 2013 draft, as Alabama junior CB Dee Milliner (6-1, 198) may decide to enter the draft. He's currently projected to be a 1st or 2nd round pick in 2013.

Introduction to Decodable Words
An alphabetic code refers to the assignments between a set of abstract sound
segments that are critical in distinguishing the meaning of words (phonemes) and a
set of visual symbols that can represent them on paper or other substrate. All
languages are 100% phonemic or sound based. Written languages are phonemic to the
extent that there is a one to one relationship between phonemes of the spoken
language and the symbols used to visualize it. Children seem to naturally acquire
the spoken language used around them. If the written language were structured in a
similar way, they might acquire it as easily.

Acquiring speech and mastering speech requires lots of practice. A similar amount of practice would be required to master the written language. Groff's essay is about providing the right kind of practice materials.
I have a problem with calling the phonic code the combination of (1) the regular associations between sounds and symbols and (2) the exception rules. There is nothing phonic about an exception. Exception rules do keep a notation systematic or predictable. It is usually the reassignment of a sound in a certain environment or position in a word. In Spanglish, for instance, an exception is made for the representation of the schwa sound before (r). The unstressed mid lax vowel is normally (a) but before (r) and in a terminal position after a voiced (th) it is changed to an (e), the mother - tha mather - the mather. Spanglish tries to minimize the number of exceptions to the basic alphabetic code and keep the number under ten. Regularized English had over 100 exception rules.
"The chief priest wore a colored collar" would be transcribed "Tha chief priest wor a cullard collar." After incorporating the exception rule, the sentence would be rendered "The chief priest wor a cullered collar." In this sentence there is no net gain in TO similarity. However, across the board it does help.
The anti-phonic exception rule allows spelling to deviate from the established sound signs. In order to eliminate code overlaps - perhaps the most annoying feature of traditional English orthography, Axel Wijk had to add 100 exception rules. Wijk still had multiple spellings in his regularized English. It was reader friendly but not speller friendly.
Reader friendly text in a phonics class involves avoiding spellings that represent exceptions to the phonics rules and using stories composed of words that reinforce the relationships between sound and symbol covered in the phonic rules. Some of the sound symbol relationships are shown in the chart below.
Decodable Words Versus Predictable Text.
Patrick Groff.
Professor of Education Emeritus, San Diego State University.The idea of "decodable words" is one of the basic principles of direct, intensive, systematic, early, and comprehensive (DISEC) instruction of a prearranged hierarchy of discrete phonics information. Soon after the alphabetic code (the concept that each speech sound in a language can be represented by a letter) was conceived, a method of teaching this phonics information to novice readers was devised.
The most logical practice to this effect has been to bring to beginning readers' conscious awareness the speech sounds in the language. This phonemic awareness is accomplished by showing fledgling readers a letter, while at the same time pronouncing a speech sound that the letter commonly represents. Then, the learners look at the letter in question, and repeat the given speech sound. These speech sound-letter correspondences are called phonics rules.
Regularity in the TO is needed to be effective in getting neophyte readers ready (a) to look at letters in the serial order in which they appear in familiar words, (b) to attach appropriate speech sounds to each letter (or letter cluster) in words, and (c) to blend together the speech sounds generated so as to produce an approximate pronunciation of a recognizable word. Beginning readers readily can infer the authentic pronunciation of a familiar written word if they gain access to its approximate pronunciation, it is found experimentally.
This process of written word recognition is called "decoding." A "decodable" word therefore is a familiar one that a learner has been prepared ahead of time to sound-out (attach speech sounds to each of) its letters. Decodable texts thus are ones that contain only familiar words that students have previously been prepared to decode through the application of phonics rules. It is discovered empirically that beginning readers are more successful in accurately reading decodable texts than they are in reading texts that contain words students have had no prior DISEC phonics instruction on how to identify.
As opposed to decoding written words through the application of phonics rules, the experimentally discredited Whole Language (WL) approach to teaching children to identify written words uses what WL experts call "predictable texts." In this regard, the "Whole" in WL refers to the WL principle that children new to reading best learn to recognize written words within the context of whole words, sentences, paragraphs, and stories. To understand adequately the meaning of "predictable" in predictable texts, as WL exploits the term, it is necessary to explain at some length what constitutes WL reading instruction.
Instead of emphasizing young students' attainment of knowledge of phonics rules, and how to apply them to read words, WL reading instruction concentrates on a different procedure. This is encouraging children to use the contexts of written sentences, paragraphs, and stories to guess at the identities of their words. Rather than teaching children a comprehensive amount of phonics information, and how to apply it to decode words, WL instructors reduce the number of phonics rules children learn to a bare minimum.
In this respect, it often is recommended by WL luminaries that children's knowledge of only the consonant speech sound-letter correspondences that occur at the beginnings of words is necessary. This WL doctrine stipulates that application of a highly limited amount of phonics knowledge, along with guessing at the names of written words from sentence, paragraph, and story contexts, is the most time-effective way for beginning readers to master written word recognition skills. However, the vast majority of critical surveys of what relevant experimental investigations have to say on this issue reveal something else. It is that this WI, doctrine, along with its other unique ones, is not corroborated by empirical findings.
My many observations of WL teaching of reading in action, plus my extensive perusal of the writings of leaders of the WL movement, reveal other reasons why this form of reading tutelage is relatively time-ineffective. In WL classrooms, the entire class of illiterate children first sit as a group on a rug facing their teacher, who reads aloud to them, several times, an easy to understand story. Much time is devoted to stimulating children to engage in open-ended discussions of the story's simplistic content, to expressing idiosyncratic reactions as to concepts and meanings in it, to repeating words and sentences the teacher has read aloud, and to acting-out the story's narrative.
Following these activities, the WL teacher displays an enlarged copy of the story previously read aloud. The children, who are unschooled in how letters represent speech sounds, are directed to "follow along," as the teacher again and again reads aloud the given story. Occasionally, the WL teacher will stop, point out an individual word in a story, and request the pupils to repeat it. Sometimes, an explanatory remark will be made by the teacher about the initial consonant speech sound-letter correspondence of these words.
However, it is impossible to know in this procedure to what extent the entire class of children actually is looking at words in the story being read aloud. It is my impression that it is customary for some children to not even look in the direction of the enlarged copy of the story on display. Also problematical is whether any child who repeats a word in the story, upon a request by the teacher, is looking at it.
The next order of activities in the WL reading development approach is to break up the entire class into smaller-sized groups, and reiterate with each group what transpired before. Whole Language dogma claims that this rearrangement of students allows the teacher ample opportunity to discover, and remedy if necessary, how well children are progressing toward the acquisition of reading ability.
At the end of this second stage of WL reading instruction, it is held that children are satisfactorily prepared to read independently the story in question. Accordingly, they are sent back to their seats to carry out that assignment. Now, WL teachers busy themselves with engaging children on a one-on-one basis. Experts in WL reading instruction express great pride in the latter accomplishment, although pertinent experimental findings do not validate it as a time-effective instructional strategy.
The stories involved in all the above WL procedures are ones selected because they are "predictable texts." That is to say, the stories are deliberately written so that they repeat many times certain words, phrases, or sentences. A WL principle is that words, phrases, and sentences in these texts become predictable, i.e., foreseeable or logically calculable by beginning readers, if these pupils look at them a given number of times.
For anyone familiar with the history of reading instruction in the U.S., WL assumptions about the efficacy of predictable texts clearly are borrowings from the now notorious "look-say" method of reading instruction (that nonetheless was highly popular for generations in America's public schools). Look-say reading instruction textbooks also downgrade the importance of teaching phonics rules in a DISEC manner.
This method's foremost presumption is that the time it takes for novice readers to recognize written words via phonics instruction could be shortened significantly. It was held that if nonreaders were repetitively shown whole written words, until they were recognized as "sight" words, this would speed up their overall acquisition of reading ability. Sight words are ones children recognize rapidly, without sounding-out their letters.
It now is well-established experimentally that the look-say methodology has fatal flaws. Children taught in this manner somehow are able to remember the identities of a relatively small number of words. However, they soon suffer an overload on their memory systems, and begin guessing wildly at the names of words in sentences. Co-instantaneously, pupils' ability to accurately comprehend what they have read is badly affected.
This latter fault in WL reading teaching is hoped to be compensated for by urging beginning readers to add, omit, or substitute words or concepts in written materials - as they see fit. However, that is a vain expectation, as objective examinations of the results of WL reading instruction reveal. In California, for example, WL reading teaching recently was more popular than in any other state. As a consequence, the standardized reading test scores of young children in this state devolved to the lowest in the nation.
Direct Instruction - A method of instruction developed by Siegfred Engelmann, Oregon State University, in the 1960s. Teacher is in control of the interaction telling, showing, demonstrating, and prompting rapid active responding of the learners. Teacher follows field tested scripts and employs frequent systematic assessment to insure mastery.

Book Review by John Reilly.God Help All Little Children Read, Write, and Spell - Modular English by Ian Duck.
1st Books, 2000 ISBN: 1-58820-179-1 174 Pages, $9.95 Paperback, $3.95 E-book
Ian Duck is a quantum physicist at Rice University in Texas. In this brief, polemical book, he makes a case for reforming the traditional spelling of English, proposes his own transcription scheme, and outlines a celebrity-driven reform program. The issues he discusses are familiar from the reform debates of the last 100 years, but it's interesting to see a single individual's solution. The book represents the kind of narrowcast pamphleteering that hardly anyone was in a position to do before the advent of print-on-demand publishing. One hopes we see more of it in the future.
The author has done his bit as a volunteer literacy tutor. Though the book is barren of citation, he is obviously familiar with the literature about the "literacy underclass."
The system that the author proposes, "Modular English," is based on the usage of letters and letter combinations in small, common words. Again, the system is not terribly different from others devised during the 20th century. A sample shows where the author came down on most of the debates that vex would-be reformers:
DUCKSPEL"Yae, thoe Ie wok throo thuh valee uv thuh shadoe uv deth, Ie wil feer noe eevl; for Thow art with mee: Thie rod and Thie staf thae komfirt mee."
SPANGLISHYey, tho I wok thru the vally av the shaddo av deth, I wil fir no ievl; for thau aart with mi: thai rod aend thai staff they cumfert mi.

Congratulations, I Hate You | Reviewer: mike | 4/2/07
no one ever said that life was fair and I'm not saying that it should be
so knowing that you are what you want to be and I'm not comes as no surprise
but don't expect me to be happy for you
and don't smile at me and tell me things will work out for me too
I don't want your pity...I hate your pity
taste your vanity and its sweet bitterness
as you hide behind your veil of my stolen hopes and lost dreams
...you took them all...
I watched you steal my thoughts and had to see you smile
as you build your dreams on my shattered hopes
I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy
swallow your pride
beg me to make this easier and listen to my hopeless cries
suffer alone in emptiness
I lust to see you swallowed by the mess that you left in your wake
disgust lies deep within your empty gaze...
beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries
send stares into your meaningless eyes
my envy can't describe how I loathe you for having all the stars
leaving my eyes to marvel the sky knowing it should be mine
yet it's you I see wasting the dream that only I deserve
I'll tear off your face to see your smile.
as you build your dreams on my shattered hopes
I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy
swallow your pride
beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries
send stares into your meaningless eyes

Launchbury is back in action this weekend
Five players will make their competitive starting debuts for the Club.
Andy Goode, Matt Mullan, Jake Cooper-Woolley, Guy Thompson and Ed Jackson will all start for Dai Young's side, with Sam Jones captaining the team in the absence of Chris Bell, who hasn't quite recovered from a minor infection.
Andrea Masi fills the fullback shirt flanked by Christian Wade and Tom Varndell on the wings. Charlie Hayter and Ben Jacobs, in his second stint at the Club, are the centre pairing, while Goode and Joe Simpson make up the half back combination.
Mullan packs down with Tom Lindsay and youngster Cooper-Woolley, who has impressed in preseason, with Joe Launchbury and Tom Palmer forming the second row partnership.
Jones skippers the side on the blindside flank, alongside two newcomers, Jackson and Thompson who have both been hugely impressive since joining earlier this summer.
Young said: "After what has been a long but hugely productive preseason period, everyone at the Club is excited to get the competitive matches underway this weekend. The intensity in training over the last couple of weeks has noticeably increased as we have neared the start of the new season and everyone in the squad has been keen to state their case for a starting shirt."
"This weekend we face a very accomplished side in the form of Harlequins who will test our systems extensively. We know that it will take the new players we have and the new systems we have introduced a while to bed in, but we showed last year the talent that we have at this Club and we are looking forward to trying to build on that."
Unavailable for selection due to injury: Phil Swainston, Kearnan Myall and Chris Bell are all unavailable due to minor injuries that are not expected to keep them out beyond the opening few games. Hugo Southwell, James Bailey, James Haskell and Elliot Daly are unlikely to play in September but are making good progress on their respective injuries.

Sure, the headline might be an over-reaction, what with both all-important clásicos still on the la Liga docket, but a loss at home to Rayo Vallecano would sure make FC Barcelona's quest for a fourth la Liga championship in as many years complicated. Dropping the three points to lowly Rayo--in the only game this week because of the Club World Cup--would mean the blaugrana would head into December 10th's clásico rematch with arch-rival Real Madrid down by six points and a game (which, in this duopoly essentially means three more points). In that scenario, if Madrid were to win their makeup game, los blancos would be able to lose both matches against Barcelona and still win la Liga. Nerve-wracking stuff for Barça fans.
But, luckily, this scenario is pretty unlikely: Barça have been absolutely unbeatable at home, with only a draw against Sevilla staining their record, while Leo Messi has scored 15 of his 16 Liga goals in the confines of the Nou Camp. Lowly Rayo Vallecano are coming off a disheartening loss to Valencia, though they have thoroughly exceeded everyone's low expectations for this season, as they are currently in 10th place, ahead of terrible-but-no-one-seems-to-remember-it Atlético Madrid and no-one-really-saw-it-coming-but-wow-they-suck Villarreal.
In even better news for Barcelona, it looks like Andrés Iniesta and Cesc Fàbregas will be back for the blaugrana against Rayo: they have both been injured for the better part of two weeks now, and should make a significant impact on Pep Guardiola's tactical preparation. In similarly favorable news, in Rayo's twelve visits to the Camp Nou, Barça have won nine, drawn two and lost only one.
Ultimately, this game will come down to how much Leo Messi and company really want to win: the talent level is there, and the system is in place (though it has its holes, some more gaping than others), but none of that matters if you lose the will to win, that deep desire that propels great teams over mediocre ones on their bad days. On Saturday, it wasn't there. Players mixed their marks, seemed listless and bored, and only reacted when it was too late (and got really unlucky).
For Barça's sake, Pep Guardiola needs to work on his players' minds as much as on their footwork.
