When I was a doctoral student at Indiana University, I was the coordinator for the Graduate & Professional Student Organization (GPSO), the governing organization for 13,000 graduate & professional students. It was an awesome position. I was in touch with students, professors, and administrators from across the vast campus and learned a lot about the varying conditions for graduate teaching assistants across campus.
Health insurance for graduate teaching assistants was a hot topic. Our organization helped bring about positive changes with regard to coverage. I think my cesarean cost me about $1500. My daughter's hospital care was free since we were low income. I thought I had it pretty good!
Over at Field Notes I was made aware that Stanford now has a childbirth policy in place for its female graduate students. Women who are pregnant and will give birth before their studies are complete will be supported through the transitions of late pregnancy, birth, post-partum, and re-entry.
And, as stated in the Stanford Graduate Student Handbook, "it is important to acknowledge that a woman's prime childbearing years are the same years she is likely to be in graduate school, doing postdoctoral training, and establishing herself in a career."
"So our main goal in designing this policy was to make sure that we retain in the academic pipeline women graduate students who become pregnant and give birth," Mahood said on Thursday.
I find this incredibly generous but wonder what negative effect this may have especially in terms of the relationships between these women and their male colleagues and with faculty and administrators who are "forced" to go along with these concessions. I can see holding assistantships and financial aid for women who give birth while otherwise enrolled in coursework. Pardon me while I work this out in my head.
I was dissertating and taking exams when I was pregnant with my daughter. I also maintained a part-time job on campus, and luckily the wonderful people that I worked with were quite accomodating. I didn't expect them to accomodate my needs, but they did. My graduate advisor didn't give me any extra time for potty breaks during my 8-hour written exam even though I was 8 months pregnant. He should have, but he didn't and that was his right. My husband and I decided to have a baby at this time in our lives, when I was done with coursework and more on a DIY schedule. It was stressful enough. I can't imagine why women would choose to have a baby when they are engaged in coursework.
But I am glad that the top schools in our country are engaging the issues surrounding birth and trying to support us. It would be wonderful to see campuses doing more to support women in academic positions during the childbearing years. I know that if I have another baby that I will have to beg, borrow, and steal leave time. There is no maternity policy for female professors and when we take time off, and our departments are left short-handed with no extra funds to hire in suitable replacements. Had my last pregnancy continued to term, my applied students would likely have been taught by the voice area's graduate assistant. Considering that she is not my student, I was none too pleased to hear that.

Hello, How do you do? I had been visit and read your poem.
Fine and exciting poem. Would you like to visit and read my poem.
Kindly regard,
$10 A Gallon?
$10 a gallon?
For what?
'Does that really matter now?
When it approached
One dollar per gallon...
You should have voiced your concern then!
Not when your pockets have gotten thin.
And deepened to hold more lint!
You want to make cents?
Put these sunglasses on.
Grab a twig from a bush...
And get to begging!
You might gain some sympathy,
From someone who recognizes you are in disguise.
And they are in the mood,
To share with you their good attitude.
IF they have some of 'that' left! '
Ghastly Ghoulish Rule
Why be dismayed,
By the eggs these chickens laid?
You were told that the rooster
Was a goosing hooting booster.
From the beginning it was said,
Everything he touched he poisoned dead!
And STILL you let him in your coop?
With all his stink and all his poot!
You should have given him long the boot!

WARSAW, Poland—Pete Crear, president and CEO of World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), has been named winner of the Feniks Prize awarded by the Foundation for Polish Credit Unions, part of the Polish Credit Union System. The prize will be presented to Crear during a special ceremony June 19 at the Polish system's National Credit Union Conference.
"Under the able leadership of Pete Crear, WOCCU became much stronger in the countries of Eastern Europe, putting emphasis on better utilizing Polish credit union expertise for the benefit of the movements in this region," said Grzegorz Bierecki, president of Poland's National Association of Cooperative Savings and Credit Unions and WOCCU board treasurer.
Crear, who worked in executive capacities for CUNA & Affiliates and several state credit union leagues before arriving at WOCCU, was awarded the Foreign Prize, one of five Feniks awards given each year. Crear received the honor for his continuous support and personal commitment to the Polish Credit Union System, according to members of the committee. Judges for the Feniks Prize, first awarded in 1994, include CEOs, deputy CEOs and board members of the Polish credit unions' national association and foundation.
"I'm honored to receive this award from the Polish Credit Union System," said Crear, who served as CUNA's liaison to WOCCU before assuming his current role in 2005. "I have been fortunate to witness the growth of the Polish system and have long been impressed with the expertise and commitment of its chief architects. It's one of the world's fastest growing, most accomplished credit union systems, and I am pleased and proud to receive this prestigious honor."
The Feniks Prize is the latest in a series of honors for Crear. In 2007, the Michigan Credit Union League presented the Detroit native with its Distinguished Service Award and inducted him into the Michigan Credit Union League Hall of Fame. In 2006, the Consumer Federation of America awarded Crear the Esther Peterson Consumer Service Award for his outstanding service to consumers. He received the inaugural African-American Credit Union Lifetime Achievement Award and was further honored by having the award named after him and a college scholarship established in his name. His contributions to the credit union movement have merited his induction into the CUES Hall of Fame. Crear was also recently inducted into the Cooperative Development Foundation Hall of Fame and has received the U.S. credit union movement's highest award, the National Credit Union Foundation Herb Wegner Lifetime Achievement Award.

Dr. Thomas Neff, a research affiliate at the MIT (Massachussetts Institute of Technology) Center for International Studies states that limited supplies of uranium fuel for nuclear power plants may thwart the renewed and growing interest in nuclear energy in the United States and other nations.
Over the past 20 years, safety concerns and politics dampened all aspects of development of nuclear energy. No new reactors were ordered and there was investment neither in new uranium mines nor in building facilities to produce fuel for existing reactors. Instead, the nuclear industry lived off commercial and government inventories which are now nearly gone. It is stated that worldwide uranium production meets only about 65% of current reactor requirements.
A few years ago uranium inventories were being sold at US$ 10 per pound; the current price is US$ 85 per pound.
Much of the uranium used by the United States comes from mines in Australia, Canada, Namibia, and, Kazakhstan. Small amounts are mined in the western United States, but the United States is largely reliant on overseas supplies. The United States also relies for half its fuel on Russia under a "swords to ploughshares" 1991 deal. This deal is converting about 20,000 Russian nuclear weapons to fuel for U.S. nuclear power plants, but it ends in 2013, leaving a substantial supply gap for the United States.
Further, China, India, and even Russia have plans for massive deployments of nuclear power and are trying to lock up supplies from countries on which the United States has traditionally relied. As a result, the United States could be the "last one to buy, and it could pay the highest prices, if it can get uranium at all," Neff said. "The take-home message is that if we're going to increase use of nuclear power, we need massive new investments in capacity to mine uranium and facilities to process it."
Mined uranium comes in several forms, or isotopes. For starting a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor, the only important isotope is uranium-235, which accounts for only 7 out of 1000 atoms in the mined product. To fuel a nuclear reactor, the concentration of uranium-235 must be 40 to 50 out of 1000 atoms. This is done by separating isotopes in an enrichment plant to achieve the higher concentration, but there is not enough processing capacity worldwide to enrich all the uranium required.

NZXT H2 Classic Review
To me, NZXT has always been one of those manufacturers that lurks in the background of the market and is seen with new products every now and then. It reminds me of an auto manufacturer like Maserati — everyone knows the name and the quality behind it, but you don't see one every day and you generally take a second look. NZXT has a rich legacy of having some of the most well-designed cases, inside and out. Each new product stays fresh and doesn't look like a repeat, which I enjoy a lot! I've only been able to review two or three other NZXT cases, but I've liked every one of them, so I'm hoping that this review will be no different.
NZXT's H2 Classic has been designed with silence in mind and integrates many of the innovative features generally found in NZXT cases, along with some that I have seldom seen in other cases. Folks that appreciate the value of silence in their computer equipment would most likely find this case very appealing by window shopping and I'm here to seal that deal with a comprehensive review of the NZXT H2 Classic. Seeing as how I liked my other NZXT cases so much, I'm ready to get this case out of the box and onto the testbed. With sound dampening, touch-connected fan housing, a concealed hard drive dock, and much more, I have a feeling that the NZXT H2 Classic will be a winner in many categories. In this review, I will provide a complete evaluation of the NZXT H2 Classic, including the product's unboxing, exterior and interior features, specifications, and lastly its performance. With that being said, let's move on.
Closer Look:
As with all NZXT cases that I've had the pleasure of getting my hands on, the box itself is made from a plain, brown corrugated cardboard and all the graphics are printed with one color, black. Many manufacturers probably spend $10-$15, or even more, on the box itself, which most likely gets thrown away and never used again. I like that NZXT cuts cost on the packaging and directs a higher percentage of funds into engineering the case itself, which is what matters to 99% of us. The front of the box has two pictures, one of the black H2 and one of the white H2. This review features the white version, as noted on one of the sides. Both the left and the right side of the box contain the same information as each other, such as dimensions, cooling capacities, materials, clearances, etc. The back of the case, although plain, still features the same information that any other more wasteful containers may offer, such as features and benefits of the case. A big note at the top talks about noise and offers a very dramatic lament about how it should be avoided at all costs as it endangers gamers in their endeavors. The NZXT H2 Classic is a very low-noise case, and should be very quiet by a look at its features — mainly, the fully foam-lined interior.
Opening the top of the box will expose the front of the case, wrapped in a plastic bag and sandwiched between two pieces of Styrofoam. Once out of the box, you'll find the case itself and the included accessories located in a cardboard box zip-tied to the inside of the case. Included is a user's manual, a product guide, PC speaker, zip ties, many sets of different screws, standoffs, and a standoff socket that allows the installation and removal of standoffs with just a phillips head screwdriver.
With the NZXT H2 Classic out of the box, I'm kind of liking the look even though is has a very simple design. It is elegant in its own way and I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs and how quiet it actually is!

An article examining the ethical considerations of job reneging won University of Notre Dame Business professor Tonia Hap Murphy the Ralph C. Hoeber Outstanding Article Award from the Academy of Legal Studies in Business (ALSB). The award is given to the most outstanding article from among 14 articles published in volume 26 of the Journal of Legal Studies Education, which is sponsored by the academy. "Reneging: A Topic to Promote Engaging Discussions About Law and Ethics in a Business Law or Legal Environment Course," was chosen by a select committee made up of ALSB members.
"I'm honored to receive this recognition from my peers," said Murphy, who is an associate professional specialist in the Department of Accountancy at the Mendoza College of Business. "Reneging is an important topic, particularly in the context of recent ethical failures in the business world. I hope my work contributes to the discussion of the importance of integrity and promise-keeping, both in business education and the corporate culture."
Murphy accepted the award on Aug. 9 in Denver, Colo., during the academy's annual meeting. The academy is an international academic-professional organization composed of professors of legal studies in colleges of business.
The article discusses the legal and ethical issues arising in reneging cases. Reneging occurs when a person accepts a job offer, and then backs out before work begins. The prospective employee might have gotten a better offer, or simply reconsidered for other reasons. Billy Donovan, the University of Florida men's basketball coach who changed his mind after signing a contract to coach the Orlando Magic in the NBA, is a recent and well-publicized example cited by Murphy.
When it comes to students accepting job offers, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) periodically polls employers about the rate of reneging, but doesn't supply statistics on the number of incidents, said Murphy. NACE has reported the rate as being relatively unchanging in recent years, but it appears to happen often enough that nearly all university career placement offices have policies in place to discourage the practice – sometimes with disciplinary action or by levying stiff fines.
Murphy found that employers seem not to pursue legal claims when prospective employees have reneged, although an argument can be made that equitable recourse may be available, at least in some states. For that reason, reneging is largely an issue of ethics.
From an ethical standpoint, students often don't see a problem with backing out of an offer if something better comes along. "One of my students said it's just the way of the world, an accepted business strategy," said Murphy. She pointed to a study by another university that found 44 percent of young adults agreed that reneging is acceptable if offered a better job with a different company. "But students would get terribly upset if an employer reneged on them. I'd like them to question why they believe reneging by employers is an ethical violation, while employees may renege with impunity," she added.
The central ethical issue is whether a person with integrity would renege, Murphy said. Those who tend to think of backing out as merely a business strategy are missing the larger point of the damage the action does to their reputation, and the negative effects it may have on the prospective employer and others. "And many people, I find, haven't thought through the whole concept of promise-keeping, and how generally, when you make a promise, you are expected to live up to it."
The basis for the article was a study Murphy conducted with her introductory business law students in 2007/2008. She set up a pre-course and post-course study aimed at measuring how students would answer a number of questions aimed at gauging whether they believed reneging was acceptable. During the course, Murphy discussed with the students various law contract issues, and in particular, cases where legal conditions existed so that a person legally could get out of a contract, but ethical considerations might dictate a different decision.
"I would say to the students, 'If you know you made this commitment, is it the right thing to carry out your obligations anyway, even though there's a legal loophole that would allow you not to live up to them?" said Murphy. By the end of the course, she found her students significantly less likely to agree that reneging was acceptable, results she sees as encouraging.
"What we want for our students is that they recognize when they are faced with an ethical issue. If they face up to the small ethical issues in their lives and do the right thing, they are more likely to do the right thing when they confront tougher issues later on," she said.

May 3, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - A steady rain reduced Saturday's scheduled doubleheader between MIT and Williams to a single-game affair. The Ephs scored three runs in their final at bat to rally past the Engineers in the afternoon's only tilt, 5-4.
Despite the soggy conditions, the non-conference battle was well played. Williams (23-10) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the opening frame behind RBI singles by Max Pinto and Al Matthews. MIT (18-17) responded with a run in the second and another score in the third. Deron Brown's infield hit drove home Tech's first run while Steven Nunez picked up an RBI with a double to right center.
In the home half of the sixth, the Engineers moved in front on a sacrifice fly by rookie William Blackman. Nunez, who enjoyed a great day at the dish, keyed the go-ahead score by leading off the inning with a double to right field.
In the top of the seventh, pinch hitter Pat Barren smoked a grounder down the third-base line and legged out the throw for an infield hit. After a sacrifice bunt, Taylor Mikell doubled to deep center to plate the equalizer while Robin Allemand tripled to center two batters later to give Williams the lead. Adding the needed insurance, Matthews doubled to center to plate Allemand.
Trailing 5-3, the Cardinal and Gray made it interesting after loading the bases with no outs. Another infield knock by Brown ignited the attack. With one out, Thomas Phillips singled to second base as MIT reduced the deficit to one. Tom Hester, who entered in relief to begin the seventh, secured the final two outs through the air to seal the win for the Ephs.
Ben Horwitz (3-2) earned the win for Williams after pitching six innings while scattering seven hits and three earned runs. Freshman Ryne Barry (5-1) suffered the first loss of his college career, although he looked strong for most of the day. Barry yielded five runs and nine hits with three strikeouts.
Matthews finished 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI to pace the Ephs' offense, while Mikell also reached base three times on 2-of-3 hitting with an RBI and two runs scored.
Nunez was 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles and an RBI in a losing effort for the Engineers. Phillips also drove home a run while closing 2-for-4 with a run.

MALALA YOUSUFZAI WAS discharged from a UK hospital yesterday and will now be treated as an outpatient.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, where the 15-year-old had been recuperating from injuries received during a shooting in Pakistan, said she will continue her rehabilitation at her family's temporary home in the West Midlands.
A statement issued today explained that the patient was "well enough" to to be treated by the hospital as an outpatient for the next few weeks.
Over the past couple of weeks Malala has been leaving the hospital on a regular basis on "home leave" to spend time with her father Ziauddin, mother Toorpekai and younger brothers, Khushal and Atul. During those visits assessments have been carried out by her medical team to ensure she can continue to make good progress outside the hospital.
She will be readmitted at the end of this month (or the beginning of February) to undergo cranial reconstructive surgery, a development made public just this week.
"Malala is a strong young woman and has worked hard with the people caring for her to make excellent progress in her recovery," said Dr Dave Rosser, the medical director at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.
"Following discussions with Malala and her medical team, we decided that she would benefit from being at home with her parents and two brothers. She will return to the hospital as an outpatient and our Therapies team will continue to work with her at home to supervise her onward care."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague tweeted: "Delighted Malala is well enough to leave hospital. The future Pakistan she dreams of is one we must support."
The girls' rights activist was brought to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham on 15 October after Taliban gunmen shot her in the head as she travelled on a school bus in the northwestern district of Swat.
Malala first rose to prominence in 2009, aged just 11, through her blog for the BBC Urdu service. In her posts, she described life in Swat during the bloody rule of the Taliban.
Her calls for improved education for girls attracted the attention of the Taliban, ultimately leading to the attempt on her life.

Blackhawks 3, Canucks 0NHL.com @NHLdotcom
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -It didn't take Patrick Lalime long to shake off the rust - and some early nerves - after a long absence from the NHL.
Lalime stopped 34 shots in his season debut to earn his first shutout in almost three years, lifting the Chicago Blackhawks to a 3-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.
"I was a little nervous in the beginning but I tried to keep my mind off it," said Lalime, who hadn't played since April after back surgery in early September to repair a herniated disk. "It's been a while since I played a game, but we had some good practices."
Lalime, who also had knee surgery last summer, was 3-1 with a .930 save percentage during a recent conditioning stint with Norfolk of the AHL, and it carried over with Chicago.
He fought off a dangerous bouncing puck early and stuffed Josh Green in tight twice late in the first, before forcing Markus Naslund wide on a dangerous rush and got a toe on Trevor Linden's power-play tip in the third period.
"I felt better as the game went on," Lalime said.
Adrian Aucoin scored the winning goal after a series of Canucks miscues late in the second period, and Radim Vrbata and Martin Havlat added empty-netters in the final minute to seal the Blackhawks' fourth win in five games.
Chicago coach Denis Savard called it the best team effort of the season and Havlat said it was the best defensive performance of the year, something he credited to Lalime's return and long-awaited Blackhawks debut.
"We wanted to give Patty the win and help as much as we can," said Havlat, who played with Lalime in Ottawa. "We did, but they had a couple of great chances too and he was unbelievable. I'm really happy to see him win after almost a year."
It was Chicago's first win in Vancouver since Oct. 4, 2001. The Hawks had dropped eight straight here since then, and 11 of 12 overall against the Canucks, but that didn t keep them from keeping No. 1 goalie Nikolai Khabibulin out of uniform.
After backstopping a shootout win in Calgary Tuesday, Khabibulin watched as Brian Boucher backed up Lalime, who killed off three power plays in the final period.
"He was sound," Savard said. "It's a tough thing to do when you've been out a long time, but he made the sacrifice, he went down to Norfolk and played a couple games and worked in practices down there."
It was Lalime's first win since last March, but his last NHL shutout came two years before that, on March 25, 2004. That was two teams and two trips to the AHL ago, when he was still the starting goalie for the Ottawa Senators.
"I think I still have a lot of good hockey left and I just want to enjoy it and build on that and make the best," Lalime said.
Aucoin scored after Canucks defenseman Willie Mitchell passed it right to him at the point after clearing a loose puck from behind Roberto Luongo during a scramble in the crease. Aucoin's shot caught Luongo still lying on the ice, but the goalie appeared to have stopped the puck until his defenseman Kevin Bieksa tipped it at the top of the crease, knocking it up, over and in with 3:46 left in the second.
Luongo, starting for a second straight night and 52nd time in 55 games overall, made 20 saves for the Canucks, who lost in regulation for just the third time since Christmas (13-3-3). Vancouver remains one point behind Calgary, which lost in a shootout to Chicago on Tuesday, atop the Northwest Division.
"It's very unfortunate, very disappointing," coach Alain Vigneault said. "We all expected better from ourselves tonight, we expected better execution, and we just didn't get it from the whole group tonight."

heh chapter 50 has been released today.... hmmm and now I'm starting to wonder if Misaki (Ikuto's sister) is his blood-releated sister or is she adopted/half-sister/ or step sister ^^
Since it's kinda strange that Misaki wanted to go on a date with her own brother to tell him something...... and what it turned out that they went on a date and at the end she said that they are not blood releated ! ^^ and all those skin-ship from her side and blushing could mean that she has a crush on Ikuto [heh brother complex...]
So maybe in future (since till ch82 current chapter nothing happened in this dirrection) it happens that Misaki ended up on the island too... while she was looking for Ikuto..... she would tell him what she wanted to tell him on the date that they were supposed to go....(onii-chan did you know that we are not blood releated.... Ikuto=> WHAT !!!? xD ) that kind of thing would trigger mega jelousy on the island and war over Ikuto would start ;]
Well in the anime (that ended in last year) the letter that Ikuto throwed (in the manga he throwed it too) somehow ended up in Misakis hands and she went to search for her brother.... well it ended up kinda crappy situation (I didnt liked the ending at all....) but maybe they will use in manga the opposite....so misaki lands on the island too XDXD hope so it would be itneresting and that could be a reason why not to stay on the island and forget about liveing (since his sister is safe with him)
Time will show.....but kinda I would be glad if the author could move some development ^^

While not as bad as Hayate the Combat Butler (although some may viciously disagree with me at the very idea), but is it just me, or are there starting to be signs that the author is starting to write/draw himself into a corner? I mean, the part about
Spoiler for Nagasarete Airantou Ch 75-ish:
I second zibi88's comment about throwing Misaki into the mix, not so much as a third party, but as a driving force to push Ikuto into having to make the inevitable choice: Stay on the island, or leave? (although I'll admit I am a bit interested in seeing more of her character)

Was it ever mentioned, on average, how many people get washed ashore in the 120+ years of Airantou's history?
Was "50 chapters already" really mentioned by obaa-san? Haha NO-BALLS Ikuto, how accurate!
The islanders are well versed in drugs and chemicals, aren't they? Just slip him a date-rape err morality-loosening drug and get it over with! Erase his short term memory too, he won't know what happened for another 50 chapters or so (3 months) right?

I really enjoy reading this manga, but no word on any US publishers picking this one up that I've seen. Not sure I'd still buy it though. I've found that most US publishers alter mangas too much for my tastes. All, but the DELRAY publisher. They even use the honorifics. They publish NEGIMA! with no major changes.
I like how the manga story moves better then the anime. Shinobu's inclusion in the manga is very adorable.

Ehh I wonder when in the manga we will see some serious development ^^ there are 83chapters (54were translated so far) and till that time nothing serious happens besides Suzu slowly showing signs of jelousy over Ikuto (she is more aware of other girls [example in c83 Rin was standing close to Ikuto and put her arm on Ikutos shoulder....Suzu saw that and she jumped between them xD )
Anwyay I hope that something big will happen.... I would love to see Misaki (ikuto's sister) going to the island or at least a letter from her drifing to the island and reaches Ikuto (like in anime saying that she will try and find him or something) and so she would come to the island
I'm very currious about Misaki...and what she said in ch50...... dont know but I have a feeling that she and Ikuto are not blood related and so she wanted to say this to him.... and the date thing is becouse she loves him....and well if they are not blood related than there is no problem to be a couple..... maybe she was adopted or something since Ikuto is 14years old (and was born in february) while Misaki like Ikuto mentioned in next month was about to have birthday in may and end so she would be 14years old.... so she must be adopted of from different mother.... ehhh want to know more about what she meant (I assume she wanted to say that she loves him not as a brother but as a buy ^^ )
anyway that guy that brought that mediccase.... his scar is VERY similar to the one that Suzu's dad had (around c75 there is a story of suzu's parents and how they met.... and welll her father had the same scar position)
well there is a possibility that its him... since all men driffted away 10years ago... so if misaki gets the message and that guy is Suzu's father than he mostly will say to misaki where ikuto is.... so there is a possibility that misaki would come to the island (but first a letter would be nice)
I hope for the story to move on according misaki ^^ (all that ikuto need on the island is misaki I suppose....since mostly she is for ikuto the only family [iktuo hates his father after all... and he was the purpose ikuto run away from home] )

The girls fighting and trying to get one up amongst each other is the reason I read it. I kinda lost interest in Ikuto after they kept using the nosebleed gag. The first few volumes I can see, and I can let another few go by. But were into 14+ volumes and their still kicking the dead horse. However, I'll let ch 84 's nosebleed slide...money shot!!!

1) Drifted letter from Misaki to Ikuto
2) Misaki herself drifted to the island after getting Ikuto's letter she went on a jurney to find him but ended up just like Ikuto on the airan island (here she could finish what she wanted to say from ch50 about keeping that promise thing)
3) Ikuto stopped nose bleed every time he sees more skin on the girls.....(ehh I dont understand him... if the girls have no objections to make Ikuto see them naked or stuff he should accept that thing like a men and not faint after huge nose bleed (since that shows how not matured he is)... I kinda understand that different cultures but he has to accept this culture here since he is stuck on the island)
4) Ikuto finaly growing his brain... and started to understand the girls a little (sinec Ikuto has no balls now...to even notice a thing... not mentioning doing something)
5) Ikuto finally started to take normal baths with Suzu (ehh why is she not threatening him.... like no bath together no food XD <-- that worked good in 1chapter)
6) Ikuto finally marry Suzu or at least sleep in the same futon.... anyway finaly love blooming between them (or other girl) but it must be 2sided...
Well long to write but something huge has to happen since lately it started to be less interesting since nothing big happens on the island and between Ikuto and Suzu

But just to be fair, Nagasarete Airantou did do the mini arc regarding Suzu's parents when they were younger. What exactly does that have to do with the main plot is something that's beyond me though.

Lol, sorry, not to be rude but I can't help but laugh when people keep asking "where's the plot" in manga like this. Manga like this don't have plots; they're not supposed to, lol. It's an episodic comedy manga, that's all. You're looking for rivers in the desert; you'll find the occasional plot in your straight-comedy manga/anime, but not often. Hayate no Gotoku doesn't have a plot. Lucky Star didn't have a plot. Nogizaka Haruka didn't have a plot, and it porbably still won't in the upcoming season 2. That's just the way it works in Japan. They're making manga for Japanese readers, after all, not U.S. readers.

If the series established itself from the very beginning as an episodic comedy series, then there wouldn't be any complaints. But since it decided to introduce the romance element to the series, it created this sense of expectation that the author's going to resolve that somehow. Nobody's (except maybe some trolls) going to be happy if the author just simply went "Romance? Nah, it was just there for the lulz"
Can't say much about Nogizaka Haruka, but I don't think anybody was expecting anything from Lucky Star, simply because it's 4-koma. If it wraps itself up quite nicely in the end, it'd be a pleasant surprise to everyone. Hayate no Gotoku, on the other hand, very much does have a plot that's (loosely) holding everything in place. Sure it might be going all over the place with it, but there's at least some noticeable character development as the series progresses on, and the love polygon isn't exactly something to blow off either
If the series has some really obvious UST, then if nothing else, that by itself is the plot.

Hey Dan,
My name is Andy and I'm about to begin making my own roubo workbench. I have been particularly interested in your build as I'll be using blackbutt from Mal Ward also (arrives Wednesday).
I was just wondering how you found working with blackbutt? And if you got much tearout when planing, and how you dealt with it? I have a few high angle planes which should help working with this dense timber.
Thanks for the email Andy. With a few details to go, officially my Roubo Workbench is a work in progress. That being said it remains a workhorse of my shop. I never considered it a work of art, it's a little rough, has some tear out (and now scratches), but is solid and works well.
There are pro's and con's to using Coastal Blackbutt. Advantages include being light in colour, solid, hard, and heavy (900kg m^3). Disadvantages include it's plain, solid, hard, and heavy (900kg m^3).
It was hard to work with tools. On average metals (such as my cheap chisels) at 25 degrees I found they would blunten within 5-10 blows. My planes would noticeably not cut as well after 5minutes of work. I would suggest using harder metals such as A2 steel if you have them, higher angle bevels (say 30-35), and sharpening often.
I only had one section that had significant fiddleback which was difficult to tame. My standard angle planes managed ok if I kept them sharp, a radius on the blade, and sole waxed. A high angle plane will reduce tear out but increase work on you and the blade. Like all things you'll need to trial it and see how you go.
Although I try to concentrate on hand-tools I would recommend using as many powertools has you have. I used a 3HP planer for machining and belt sander to solve some tear out issues.
Good luck with the project. I'm keen to hear how it goes. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Agkistrodon piscivorus
15-55 inches. Dark tan, brown or nearly black, with vague black or dark brown crossbands; side of head black with a white line from the eye to the angle of the mouth; underside dark with large blackish blotches; scales keeled and in 25 rows. Juveniles have a bold pattern of dark brown crossbands on a pink or orange background, with a yellow tail. Some adults retain the juvenile pattern.
Cottonmouths frequent swamplands and pond, lake and stream borders, especially those with dense canopies. They often remain coiled near water, or on log jams in water, rarely ascending shrubs or palmettos. They frequently travel between streams, even over low ridges, and may be found in almost any habitat. Upon provocation, cottonmouths will coil, open their mouths to expose the white lining, and shake their tails. They are highly defensive and not inclined to get out of one's way. They feed on fish, frogs, water snakes and small mammals, and give birth to from 2-20 young.
Throughout Louisiana.

Okay, so we were very skeptical of larger phones when they first started appearing. Obviously, it turns out that a ton of folks out there in Android-land (millions in fact) really like the phablet style devices. We have to admit after playing with the Galaxy Note II and the HTC Droid DNA, we finally understand the allure. In fact, amongst your staff here in the forums, there are several converts that are jumping on the phablet bandwagon. However, having admitted all of that, we must share that this latest news has us completely flabbergasted. Supposedly, Huawei is working on a truly giant device. They used the word giant to describe it, but we would call it gigantic. Supposedly this new device will be huge to the tune of 6.1-Inches for the display!
The device will be called the Ascend Mate, and it seems like a fitting name, because you might just be able to "ascend" to heaven by standing on top of this monstrosity. The rest of the specs seem to be in-line with the other phablet devices spreading across the land. Here's what was revealed:
- 6.1-inch 1080p Full HD display
- 1.8GHz quad-core processor
- 2GB of RAM
- 4,000 mAh battery
- Android Jelly Bean
As you can see, the display isn't the only thing that will be huge about this phablet. The battery is enormous as well. While this is something we always like to see, we can't help but scratch our heads as to who thinks there will be a market for a device like this. Basically, it's just a slightly shrunken Android tablet that can be used to make calls. Can you imagine walking down the street with this up to your ear? It seems reminiscent of the 1980's when break-dancers would carry extra large "boom-boxes" on their shoulders.
I thought miniaturization was the trending thing to do with technology... So, how big is too big?

Subtle changes to the brain, which doctors find difficult to detect through conversation or examination, may occur in patients with HIV and/or hepatitis C infection. It is not currently known whether the brain is affected in early (or acute) hepatitis C.
This study plans to evaluate what happens to the brain in patients with HIV and early hepatitis C. The investigators will be comparing 3 groups of individuals:
- Group 1: Individuals with HIV infection and acute (early) hepatitis C infection
- Group 2: Individuals with HIV infection
- Group 3: Healthy volunteers
Individuals wishing to take part will complete a series of tests assessing different aspects of their brain including:
2 brain scans using different technology:
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan with spectroscopy
- CT PET brain scan
- A computer game test which measures brain function
- 2 short questionnaires
Results of these tests will be analyzed and compared between 3 groups.
