2012-03-28 15:15:00 Everyone is rightfully excited over the potential for a strong rebound in the U.S. economy. And there is nothing short of the potential of global recession at stake should U.S. growth sputter. What is the key risk to U.S. growth going forward? A Balance Sheet Recession You may not be familiar with the term “balance sheet recession.” The reason is because we haven’t seen one in the U.S. since the 1930s Great Depression. So what qualifies as a balance sheet recession, how is it triggered, and why is it so dangerous? In a balance sheet recession individuals and businesses are more concerned about paying down existing debt than taking on new loans.

Another Nail Driven into Japan?s Civilian Nuclear Future
2012-03-06 15:23:00 The 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that effectively destroyed Tokyo Electric Power Company’s six-reactor Fukushima Daichi complex have claimed another victim, Japan’s fast breeder reactor program. Fukushima’s effect on Japan’s atomic energy program has not had the consequences of a nuclear blast, but more the relentless drip of acid rain, slowly eroding public confidence in the country’s nuclear power industry, which last month saw 49 of the country’s 54 nuclear power plant (NPP) reactors idled. The figure is hardly insignificant, as the nuclear power plants (NPPS) collectively generated more than 47,000 megawatts, nearly 30 percent of the country’s electrical needs. Now another nail has apparently been driven into Japan’s civilian nuclear future. On 23 February . . . → Read More: Another Nail Driven into Japan’s Civilian Nuclear Future

Yuri Manga Titles Available Outside Japan
2012-02-14 23:08:00 This feature is going to be updated irregularly as new titles become available, or the lists becomes untenably large as "The List" on Yuricon became after a few years. (And let's hope that that happens very quickly!) Humans being what they are, whenever a new title is licensed, there's an outraged cry of dismay, as the genre we love is actually made available legitimately. We've talked about the reasons for that many times and I don't plan on beating that to death here. The other outraged cry often is "why did they get it and not us?!?" What I'd like to do is give you an idea of what books are available where and in what format. Of course this list will never be complete, so if you know of another title, format, anything, let me know. The point is to show you that Yuri is growing - and that with your help, it can grow more. Guidelines for entries: I'm not including "manga with Yuri," as opposed to Yuri manga. That is - no Morita-san ha Mukuchi, or Ichiro!. These have s...
